Hollywood Road

It was dark in the studio. Henry Cavill in a black uniform was standing in front of the camera lens. His sturdy body was like a hill, and it seemed to be full of explosive power, like a tiger about to go down. People have a very dangerous feeling.

After the tempering of "City of Chaos", coupled with the assistance of makeup, costumes and cameras, Henry Cavill's aura is obviously stronger than before.

On the opposite side of Henry Cavill, a few people with similar costumes were **** and squatted there.

The scene is very simple, just a few lines of dialogue.

But this simple drama is expressing a not-so-simple theme.

"Why do you have this right!" Facing Chris Dann's persuasion, one of the imitators asked loudly, "How do you think you are different from us?"

Henry Cavill didn't have any expression, and coldly dropped a sentence, "I don't wear a hockey chest protector."

Then, silently turned his head and walked away.

"CUT!" Murphy called to stop the crew, "This one is over!"

After all, with "City of Chaos" as the basis, this time the filming was much smoother, and Henry Cavill was wearing a mask. Murphy did not ask him to have good acting skills. The only demanding voice is completely fine. Synthesize through post-production.

The crew temporarily enters a brief adjustment, ready to shoot the next scene.

Today, Margot Robbie, who has no role, stood on the periphery, watching Murphy direct the entire crew to be busy with Gal Gadot.

"Gail..." Margot Robbie asked suddenly, "Why did Chris Dann give such an answer."

Although Chris Dann satirized the other party’s question in a humorous manner, he did not answer the question directly. Gal Gadot saw it better. “Because Chris Dann was speechless about that question. Correct."

"Can't say anything?" Margot Robbie couldn't help looking at her strangely. "Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple. Why does Chris Dan have the power to break the law?" Gal Gadot's eyes turned to Murphy. The theme of this film is the deepest among all commercial films. "I think this is a meaning Murphy wants to express."

Margot Robbie still didn't understand, and couldn't help asking, "Chris Dan is fighting crime. Isn't his appearance to save the chaotic and dark city of New York? He is not the incarnation of justice? Is it a duty police in New York?"

"My dear, I studied law when I was in college, and there was never an obligation to be a policeman in law!" Gal Gadot said very seriously, "Personal, even someone like Chris Dan, should override Is it above the law?"

"Uh……"

Although he has not studied the law specifically, Margot Robbie also knows some basic common sense. According to the formal statement, no person or team can be above the law.

Just as the two of them were discussing, the sound of Murphy asking the crew to start shooting was heard on the set.

Christopher Waltz is already standing in front of a green screen with Henry Cavill.

Murphy and Philip Raschel each control an IMAX camera, from a 45-degree angle on the same side, without interfering with each other to film Christopher Waltz's Sheriff Lynch and Henry Cavill. The conversation between Chris Dann.

Standing in front of the green screen, Henry Cavill said to Christopher Waltz, "Is it beautiful? Isn't it?"

Christopher Waltz was puzzled and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a receiving device that transmits high-frequency transmission." Henry Cavill said seriously. "One of the devices left by Renner's organization in New York can turn every mobile phone in New York into an extension. Sounder!"

"Very beautiful," said Christopher Waltz as a policeman coldly, "but it's immoral and dangerous."

His face is quite serious, "As long as half of your cell phones become the source of your sonar, you can monitor the whole of New York. This is wrong."

"Linch!" Henry Cavill slowly clenched his hands with Kevlar gloves, "I must find that person, find the magician!"

"But what's the price?" Christopher Waltz asked worriedly.

He is a realist, so he knows very well that it is difficult for the police and the law to restrain characters like Chris Dann. Once he breaks through his bottom line, he will become as dangerous as Rainer and the magician.

Henry Cavill was silent and did not answer him. Now Chris Dann has no time to discuss these moral and democratic issues.

After a while, he said, "I want to restore the peace of the city."

Christopher Waltz still frowned. "This power is too powerful for a person."

Not far away, Gal Gadot and Margot Robbie have been paying attention to the shooting location in front of the camera, and the two are also nodding. Obviously they agree with Christopher Waltz’s lines. If in the real world, there are really Individuals can monitor everything about them through the device, which is simply creepy.

Sitting behind the director’s monitor, Murphy thought of another thing. This country is far less democratic than what he advertised, and the degree of surveillance, such as Prism Gate...

He shook his head, and returned his energy to the filming set.

Henry Cavill stared at Christopher Waltz, "I have found the position of the magician, I need you to give me some time!"

"Where?" Christopher Waltz asked.

"Follow the signal above." Henry Cavill didn't answer him, but just threw a receiver to Christopher Waltz. "The last place I stayed is the position of the magician!"

Henry Cavill turned and walked outside. Just when Christopher Waltz wanted to ask what to do with the monitoring device, he raised his hand and pressed a transmitter.

However, the two of them faced a green screen before, and of course there would be no reaction. These effects have to be added through post-production.

"Stop!" Murphy stood up from behind the camera and said loudly, "This one has passed, all departments reset, rest for ten minutes, and shoot again in ten minutes."

Then he said to Philip Raschel, "According to the plan, close-up shooting!"

Since IMAX company only provided two IMAX cameras, in the shooting just now, Murphy and Philip Raschel’s cameras were used to capture and shoot panoramic shots, respectively, and could not take into account the close-up of the actor. This is a limitation of the number of equipment. A good solution is to shoot a few more times.

This is also impossible. Although there are a lot of IMAX cameras today, Murphy uses MSM.9802 film cameras. Currently there are only four cameras in the world. The other two are currently in other crews. The current two. It is already the largest resource that IMAX can deploy.

The MSM.9802 film IMAX camera is the most used IMAX camera in Hollywood. The one used in TDK shooting is this model. This machine is very commonly used. It used to be 2, Disc 4, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rise, Trek, The Hunger Games, StarCraft, Star 7, Super Bat, etc. have used this machine.

However, this machine can only shoot 2D. If the movie made with it becomes 3D, it must be converted to 3D later.

In the past, IMAX cameras were all based on film, but the technology is constantly evolving. Today's IMAX cameras have digital versions.

IMAX's recently launched phantom.65 is a 3D digital IMAX camera, which is used in movies such as "Transformers 3".

This camera is more convenient than the traditional IMAX film camera, but Murphy chose to use film to shoot for his own goal, and could only give up the more advanced phantom.65 camera.

As the soul of the entire crew, Murphy's use of IMAX cameras will be more frequent and in-depth than the previous "City of Chaos". "Dark City" will also be the one that uses the most IMAX lenses so far. In the film, after 20 million US dollars of additional investment by Fox in the twentieth century, he has increased the ratio of shots to 65 to 70%.

In the face of large sums of money, IMAX has provided Murphy with strong technical support. These heavy cameras are made by hand, and each has a different personality, but they are basically a unified standard, and all parts are Can be interchanged.

Each IMAX camera is equipped with its own fixed focus lens, which is divided into 40MM, 50MM, 80MM, 110MM, 150MM and 250MM. Many of the lenses are also equipped with a 65MM adapter ring with T2.8 aperture and medium format picture. For the Hasselblad camera lens, the focus of the camera lens will not be affected easily.

Focusing on IMAX cameras is quite troublesome. In the past, Philip Raschel was unable to focus manually in some lens shots. It was necessary to use a remote focus motor equipped with a torque motor to operate the whole process.

During the preparation period, Murphy put forward some requirements for the use of IMAX cameras based on previous technical experience, and asked IMAX's technical engineers to improve certain lenses and create a new viewfinder.

IMAX’s technical engineers discarded the IMAX mechanical parts in the 80MM lens and replaced it with a film-specific Panavision converter. They also reshaped the entire lens head in accordance with Murphy’s requirements to make it suitable for one lens. Kind of mechanical diaphragm device.

The transformation of the 50MM and T2.5 aperture lens is different. The people of IMAX company put most of the lens of the lens into a new lens barrel and transformed it into a more stable lens converter.

In addition, they also created a custom lens with a 50MM and T2 aperture based on the construction principle of a reverse telephoto lens.

These are the basis of shooting. Without adequate equipment, no matter how good the idea is, there can only be the head and paper of the director.

Remove the green screen, adjust the camera position, Murphy and Philip Raschel each control an IMAX camera and start shooting close-up shots.
