Chapter 771: It's Time to Change the Actor
"Ryan, remember the route."
Michael Bay reminded him loudly, "Don't make mistakes, run as fast as possible."
With a thumbs up, Ryan illuminated the camera. This kind of scene has no acting requirements, but it is quite troublesome if it makes mistakes. Not to mention that it will affect the later addition of Transformers, if it only takes a lot of time, manpower and material resources to arrange those explosive devices.
Taking a long breath and slowly exhaling it, Ryan had the best time to prepare well.
"start!"
Just as the sound came, he spread his legs and ran toward the door of Disneyland. Almost at the same time, a series of dull explosions sounded behind him. The explosion was extremely fast, just like the ground plowed by an m2 heavy machine gun, and it started to rush waves of earth and quickly chased him.
The smoke of gunpowder spread quickly. Ryan hugged his head, jumped onto a pile of soil, then rose to a black mat, rolled on the spot, stood up again and continued to escape desperately. Behind him, the pile of soil had been blown into the air, and a lot of soil fell on his head.
Fortunately, these explosions are all in vain, but in fact they are not very powerful.
Even so, Ryan felt a faint pain in his arms and back of his head. At this moment, he couldn't help but curse Michael Bey's on-site shooting plan in his heart, and automatically forgot that all these were the results of the two of them discussing.
Another pile of soil was blowing up beside him, and Ryan shouted loudly, "Optimus Prime! Optimus Prime!"
"Get up, get up!" He hid behind the gate of Disneyland, and even though he knew that these lines would inevitably need to be re-dubbed, he still shouted in an explosion, "Stand up, Optimus Prime! Kill them! Kill them!"
He hugged his head, avoided the falling soil, and hid in the woods next to the artificial lake.
The explosion in the field gradually subsided, as if the close-knit fight in the preset kicked off. Ryan kept an expression of alert and fear, and a camera was always staring at him.
"Optimus Prime!"
Seeing the reminder marks on the track camera, Ryan slowly stood up, looked at the field where the smoke was dissipated, and finally turned around and ran towards the other side.
“cut!”
Michael Bay's voice sounded from the loudspeaker, and Ryan stopped and walked towards the camera.
"Very good, Ryan."
As he walked over, Michael Bay gave a thumbs up here, "Just pass once."
"That's good." Ryan brushed his hair, and the fine dust kept falling. "I don't want to come again."
That being said, but Ryan understood that when he returned to North America, there might be a larger explosion waiting for him at the White Sands Missile Range.
Walking to the trailer, Charlize came up with a wet towel, Ryan took it and wiped his face full of smoke and dust, "Thank you, my dear."
The weather in Shanghai was very hot. After cleaning it a little, Ryan returned to the air-conditioned rest trailer, sat on a chair with Charlize, and continued to watch Michael Bei toss the land through the window.
In contrast, the two actresses are much more relaxed here, and they just need to sit in the Camaro sports car representing Bumblebee for a ride.
The filming here lasted about two days, and then the crew turned to the Toy Story theme hotel, where they filmed some life-like shots of Sam and Mikayla when they came to China to visit.
The hotel's shape is full of Disney-style childlike colors. The exterior wall is imitated with the sky wallpaper pattern in the cartoon "Andy" room. There is a huge spherical sculpture at the entrance of the hotel, which is the classic leather ball in the original animation.
These are the key points of the crew's filming.
While shooting, many media and reporters were always following around, and various reports continued to appear.
"The crew of "Transformers 2" filmed the outdoor scene at Shanghai Disneyland, and Ryan Jenkins performed a desperate escape in the explosion."
"Michael Beyer made his newly completed Toy Story theme hotel, and Gao Yuanyuan interacted intimately with Ryan and Alessandra Ambrosho."
"Gao Yuanyuan became the second female lead in the film and performed shopping scenes with Ryan. According to Disney, she may become the absolute protagonist of this series in the future."
Full of earth-shaking explosions, fire-filled attacks, heart-wrenching screams, cost-effective special effects and dazzling action scenes, these are almost the themes in most shots.
In addition to participating in a CT opening celebration, the crew spent most of their time busy. After more than 20 days of hard work, they finally completed the filming plan in China, and then the crew collectively moved to North America.
The main location of the crew's filming in North America is the White Sands Missile Experimental Range in New Mexico, which will be used to shoot scenes of the final battle. The US military is not an extra, but a group of real soldiers who have just returned from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Military actors have devoted a lot of enthusiasm to acting in this movie because they want their children to see themselves fighting the Transformers on the big screen of "Transformers 2".
The Pentagon provided great support for the crew's shooting work, not only allowing the crew to use the White Sand Missile Test Field, but also allowing the cameramen to shoot from the air with the whizzing fighter planes; similarly, they also asked the film to create a good and positive image for the United States.
2 A-10 fighter jets, 6 F-16 fighter jets, 10 armored Hummers, the "Golden Knight" military parachuting team, 2 m1a2 tanks, 2 m3a3 tanks, 2 self-propelled missile launchers, 2 armored vehicles, Baisha missile test site, military and bombs, soldiers on vacation.
These are free shooting resources provided by the military.
In addition, Ryan also followed a crew member to the aircraft carrier "Stannis" and conducted on-site shooting on the flight deck. Even when he left, another crew filmed on the destroyer "Kidd".
This has exceeded the filming of the first film. It is no exaggeration to say that Transformers 2 will be the largest joint shooting operation of the United States' Sea, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps in history.
On the contrary, as the real main battlefield in the script, there are not many things shot in Egypt. Most of the related subjects were taken in local US military bases. Only one assistant director went to Egypt to shoot background shots, and Michael Bey had no intention of going past.
Of course, the various branches of the US military helped the crew during the filming, but as a troops with loose military discipline, these guys were also very annoying to make trouble.
There has always been a kind of competition between the US Army and the Air Force. This time the shooting in New Mexico made this competition even more intense. Although the Army's White Sand Testing Ground is very close to the Air Force's Harlow League Base, these guys refused to work together when shooting, and even the campgrounds at night were completely separated.
In order to grab several photogenic houses during the shooting, the paratroopers belonging to the Air Force almost fought with a group of people from the Army.
The houses built on the set are the focus of the competition among these military actors. Since they have participated in the shooting of such a large production, who wouldn’t want to have a close-up of them to show their faces?
"You guys are so crowded, it's too unrealistic."
The crew had just notified the military to prepare, and the houses were crowded with people. The crew's military liaison officer had to go over and disperse them, "The enemy can kill you all with just one bomb."
"Come on, sir." A soldier immediately shouted, "This is a Hollywood movie. Are we not fighting with invisible aliens with ammunition that will never be fully fired?"
Facing the liaison officer from the Pentagon, the Army and Air Force burst into laughter this time.
"These guys!"
Michael Bay behind the camera frowned, while Ryan held his chin and looked at Alessandra Ambroshew, "Colin, you need to appear again."
"All right."
Alessandra Ambroxiu shrugged and twisted his sexy figure toward the other side.
For these soldiers who have experienced the test of war, the crew's forced orders are definitely not a suitable choice, and few people will listen, but the attractiveness of the beauty, especially a Victoria's Secret angel who has become popular all over the world, is still huge.
Sure enough, Alessandra Ambroshe solved the problem again. After talking to the soldiers for a few words, many people took the initiative to jump off the roof, which made the liaison officer from the Pentagon very helpless.
The shooting quickly opened the curtain. The first thing to do was to shoot a US tank. This was not to launch an empty package bullet, but to shoot live ammunition.
This is Michael Bay's request, not in the Pentagon sponsorship contract, and the crew also paid a fee for this. The US military also regarded the shooting as a training for tank soldiers. A total of hundreds of soldiers and tanks fired guns and fired at the same time, and of course, they were not "invisible aliens".
Their bullets all passed through the Egyptian villages and temples that the crew had temporarily built, and the scenery built with great effort had only one function, that is, they were all blown up.
For Ryan and Alessandra Ambroheu, this was definitely not a wonderful experience. Compared with the previous explosions, this time can only be described as earth-shaking. In several consecutive explosion scenes, he pulled Alessandra Ambroheu, with a blank mind only knowing how to run wildly.
"Michael!"
When he finished filming his own footage and was about to leave the crew, Ryan solemnly said to Blasting Bell, "From now on, you can consider how to change the male lead in the next movie."
The filming of two live-action movies in succession of "Transformers" is enough to make up for the complex in the previous life.
Besides, "Avengers" will be launched soon, and he doesn't have so much time to continue the third part.
Chapter completed!
