Chapter 160 Movies are an extension of the imagination
How could the swooping zombie dog disappear from memory? Mira still insisted on asking Rick Baker to turn the Doberman into what she said.
"Okay!" Rick Baker said with some helplessness. One director and one leading actor couldn't afford to offend anyone. Anyway, it was just a little more effort.
After spending some more time, I finally turned the Doberman dog into what Mira thought it would be. Although the dog didn't change much, it was really murderous and shocked everyone who saw it.
"Hey, this zombie dog is really scarier than before!"
"This guy must be packing a punch on screen!"
"I heard that this was Mira's idea. Maybe she has actually seen a zombie dog. Otherwise, how could she change this dog into something else with just a few words? Haha!"
The crew laughs at Chapter 160
The movie is an extension of the imagination. People were talking happily, pointing at the Doberman dog with makeup, making the dog wag its tail in confusion, and even making people laugh.
Zhou Shaoming is a director after all, and he has to face all aspects of the film, so there is not much time for makeup artist Rick. At this time, he and assistant director Ben are looking at the research institute being set up.
Every scene and object in the hive seems to exist in Zhou Shaoming's mind. After the set designers have completed the sketch, they are accidentally overturned by Zhou Shaoming.
The staff members were a bit slanderous, but no one dared to speak loudly in front of the "tyrant on the set". After more than a dozen revisions, arguments and overturns, Zhou Shaoming finally finalized the interior scene map and had people start building it.
There is no way, Director Smith Zhou will always insist on small things, such as what the desks, chairs and instruments in the research institute look like, the style of password doors and elevators, big and small things will always be mentioned by him, and then he insists on modifying them.
What he thinks.
This made the crew feel that Director Smith Zhou always had some inexplicable stubbornness.
"Ben, we need to put a bunch of pipes here, plastic ones, bigger ones. The zombies will fall here after being hit by the special forces personnel. Chapter 160
Movies are an extension of imagination, which will make her fall more naturally, and then she rushes out again, allowing the audience to understand how crazy she is!" Zhou Shaoming squatted down and pointed to the open space next to a lot of instruments.
"Okay, Smith Zhou, I'll let the prop master prepare it." Ben wiped the sweat from his head and carefully wrote down the words "plastic pipe" in his notebook.
"Well, this is the most representative shot of zombies. I need it to be more impactful!" Zhou Shaoming squatted on the ground, recalling the scene in the illusion, then touched his stubbled chin, and jerked
Snap your fingers.
"Yes, this zombie has been temporarily modified and turned into a half-body female zombie! She just crawled on the ground, waving her arms hungry for flesh and blood, and slowly approached everyone, and then she was hit by countless bullets.
But she still continued to crawl towards everyone!" Zhou Shaoming laughed strangely, even crawling on the ground, pretending to be the zombie, and crawling towards assistant director Ben.
"Oh, I understand, this may make the audience jump in fright!" Ben seriously imagined the scene described by Zhou Shaoming, and then wrote down the words "female zombie, half body, etc." in his notebook.
"Haha, that's right! I'll think about how I need to express it again!" Zhou Shaoming walked around the set with his hands behind his back, trying to make his movie closer to the imaginary world of zombies.
Busy and busy, Zhou Shaoming's day flies by quickly. He has to worry about all the big and small things in the crew. Fortunately, this guy is very energetic and what he says is also very instructive. A blockbuster movie is in the preparation period.
, and began to show his head.
But the most troublesome thing is waiting for Zhou Shaoming. Even at night, it is his working time.
Scott Farrar, the highly paid visual effects assistant director, jogged towards Zhou Shaoming who was eating dinner, shouting: "Smith, Zhou!"
After swallowing the steak in his mouth three or two times, Zhou Shaoming stood up and responded: "How is it? Is the image of the licker ready?"
Scott ran to Zhou Shaoming, and without even taking a breath, he replied loudly: "Hey, it has fulfilled its mission! Industrial Light and Magic is great, we have already completed the computer image and 3D modeling of the Licker.
, that’s why I came to find you to have a look.”
"Let's go!" Without further ado, Zhou Shaoming, who was extremely active when doing serious things, casually took a tissue and wiped his mouth, then ran over with Scott like a gust of wind.
In the computer room, a group of people were pointing around a ten-to-one scale model of the licker, while on the main computer screen, the terrifying and abnormal licker was spinning so vividly.
"Hello everyone!" Zhou Shaoming smiled and greeted the technical staff of Industrial Light and Magic. These people are all top visual effects figures in the American film industry and deserve his respect.
"Hello, director!" Everyone laughed. As long as he was not on the set, Zhou Shaoming really didn't lose his temper easily.
"Smith Zhou, this is a 3D model we built based on your description and combined with computer CG animation. Do you think it's okay?"
Zhou Shaoming took the 3D model, looked at it carefully, his frown slowly relaxed, and he said with satisfaction: "Not bad," very perfect, this is the licker in my mind!"
Everyone laughed happily, and the hard work was finally recognized, which of course made everyone smile.
"Brothers, work harder! Let us create an era of science fiction films!" Zhou Shaoming held up the model of the licker, like a victorious general, and said loudly and firmly without regrets.
This sentence ignited everyone's hearts and created an era? Hoho, this sounds crazy, doesn't it?
Creating an era and breaking all perceptions, "Resident Evil" approaches the world.
Zhou Shaoming, who was ready for everything, arrived on June 31
On this day, I sat on the director's chair and began to direct my troops for pre-production filming.
Confident can no longer describe Zhou Shaoming's current mood. He sat behind the monitor, looking at all the crew members in the scene calmly and indifferently. When they were all ready to do what they were doing, they turned to look at him.
When Zhou Shaoming just waits for him to give the order and then works together to create another world, Zhou Shaoming's heart will be filled with pride.
This is my crew, this is my world, I create history, I create miracles!
This feeling that makes the blood boil and the soul is full comes again!
The surging passion in his heart surged like a tsunami. Zhou Shaoming tried his best to control the slightly excited expression on his face. Sparks in his eyes kept shining. He waved his hands vigorously and said loudly to all the crew members who were looking forward to it: "
Action!" "Resident Evil", scene 1, scene 1, begins!
----------
"Everyone, you will be playing the role of a zombie chasing the protagonist in a moment. Please run with all your strength, like a 100-meter sprint! From here, run all the way to the other end, then it will be OK!" Zhou Shaoming said to more than a dozen actors.
The zombie extra said, his bright black eyes full of confidence and perseverance.
"Running? Aren't zombies supposed to move slowly and walk like a stroke patient?" Someone asked in confusion.
"Why do zombies walk slowly?" Zhou Shaoming smiled and asked.
"Uh... In previous movies, zombies were always like that!" Everyone looked at each other and said a little embarrassed.
"Well, that's correct. In previous movies, zombies were as slow as lame. But why should our movies be like them?" Zhou Shaoming lit a cigar and blew a smoke ring.
"Well... Mr. Smith, do you want to subvert the previous image of zombies and surprise all the viewers?" Someone finally understood and looked at Zhou Shaoming in shock or admiration.
"Bingo! Congratulations on your correct answer. I have said before that movies are an expansion of human dreams and an extension of imagination. It brings countless possibilities or impossibilities to every audience, surprising them and exciting them.
Make them unforgettable." Zhou Shaoming lit some cigarette ashes and said to everyone: "What we have to do is not just to mechanically copy the classics, not just to simply tell the story. We have to build this zombie world more perfectly.
The creation is unexpected and the execution is terrifying. Although you only play characters in my movie who don't even have lines, what I want to say is that even if it is only body language, we must make us unique!"
Listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, all the extras became a little excited. With just a few words, their whole mood was excited and they wanted to show off their talents in front of the camera.
"Then we'd better do it once, otherwise we'll waste all the energy from eating food and run away. If we do it a few more times, a panting zombie will appear on the camera, haha!" Someone joked in a good-natured way about this joke.
Let everyone's face be full of smiles.
"So, everyone, please be more serious! Okay, now get ready to start filming!" Zhou Shaoming also smiled, applauded everyone, and signaled the crew to get ready to start filming.
"Buzz!." The powerful wind of the blower blew up all kinds of waste scattered on the street, creating a panic background atmosphere. On the camera, a dozen zombies were extremely crazy, running for hundreds of meters, their rising and falling footsteps were like
The thunder picked up the fallen leaves blown away by the wind.
"Roar!" He screamed strangely, and his bloody arms stretched out eagerly. In other movies, these minor characters that the director would not care about at all, but they are as if they are the protagonists, and they carry out Zhou Shaoming's work with great earnestness.
The intention made him clenched his fists behind the monitor.
"Very good, very good! This shot is great!" Zhou Shaoming waved to everyone excitedly and said encouragingly. In front of him were a dozen zombies who were slightly out of breath but still showed ferocious smiles.!!!
Chapter completed!
