Chapter 518 [Start shooting! The eyes are full of drama]
Everything was ready, the crew members were in place at the end of August, and "The Fast and the Furious" officially started filming in Los Angeles.
The first thing we filmed was the opening scene where Dom leads someone to evade pursuit. The plot here was slightly modified. The original script was about Dom going to rob a bank with Vince, Letty, and his younger brother.
After discussing with Yang Jian, Derek Croft decided that this writing was not reasonable enough. If there was a sequel, it would be difficult to clear up Dom's robbery of the bank.
And under normal circumstances, the robbers who rob banks are all on the move and will not be locals. If locals do this kind of thing, can they end up well if they rob capitalists? The police will definitely investigate and arrest them, but they still haven't
Run away quickly?
After Yang Jian thought about it, he simply started the story in the direction of the movie "Extraordinary Human Trafficking". Dom's part-time job is as an "escort" and "underground deliveryman", helping others to transport special goods in exchange for high rewards.
In the chase scene at the beginning, it does not explain who Dom is escorting or what important items this person is carrying. The focus is to show the protagonist’s driving skills. The person chasing him is not a police car. I don’t know who he is.
.
The car chase scene is similar to a combined version of "Bay Driver" and "Trafficker". There is no scene in "Bay Driver" where the male protagonist relies on two identical red cars to evade the helicopter tracking. He only has to drive away from the pursuers and go upstairs to change.
The scene of the car leaving.
What Dom was transporting was deliberately not mentioned here, leaving a suspense. The audience would mistakenly think that Dom was helping the gangs transport drugs. In fact, this was not the case. Later, he said that he was helping illegal immigrants and also delivered some special items.
Items, but he will never help others bring drugs and has his own bottom line.
The shooting plan had already been decided, and Yang Jian personally completed some relatively simple drag racing scenes. The difficult tail flick had three movements, which were completed by stuntmen.
In fact, Yang Jian can handle it, but his insurance for filming is too high, and the director cannot let him go. If he gets injured in a car accident, it will be a big trouble, which will affect not only the filming, but also the basketball game next season.
Moreover, the crew will directly release big news, and I don’t know the impact of it on good or bad. The NBA’s contract clearly states that players are not allowed to participate in dangerous activities.
Yang Jian thinks that all she does is simple driving skills, and people on the crew also applaud her. Yang Jian drives by herself, which makes it much easier when filming. Instead of just being able to make close-ups of her face, she can actually edit during the action.
After finishing an action scene, the next step is to shoot an ensemble scene, where the leading actors will appear together.
Brian went to eat at the coffee shop opened by Dom and others, chatted with Mia for a few words, ordered her special spicy chicken sandwich, and exchanged flirtations with her.
Others then drove to the coffee house. Letty, played by Jessica Alba, was stunning in the first scene. She was wearing a cool red patterned midriff-baring top, camouflage pants, healthy chocolate-colored skin and sweet appearance.
Can attract everyone's attention.
She was so beautiful. She looked so cool and beautiful wearing sunglasses. The director wanted to take a close-up of her for 10 seconds and add some slow motion. However, this was not a MV, so it was impossible to shoot it like this.
The original Michelle Rodriguez was far worse than Jessica. All she could do in acting was roll her eyes and make a "you owe me a million" expression.
Vince, played by Bradley Cooper, got out of his car, got a little angry when he saw Brian's red pickup truck, and immediately went into the house to provoke.
The two men sat at the table and looked at each other sideways, full of gunpowder. They both had close-ups of their faces and looked handsome. After the director Rob Cohen saw the footage, he felt that this film would definitely be a hit.
This is to find actors based on their appearance in idol dramas to make action movies. Do people think it is better for a rough guy to play? Of course not, that will cause the movie to fail, at least female audiences will not like it.
Both boys felt that Brian was here for Mia. During the chat, one said that Brian was very handsome, and the other said that he liked his hair style. Brian was about to leave after paying for the meal, but Vince asked him to eat burgers tomorrow instead.
Don't come.
"I like the spicy chicken sandwich here," Brian said as he walked to his car.
"Nonsense, no one likes this stuff." Vince followed.
"I just like it." Brian said without looking back. Vince pushed him hard from behind and hit him against the car door.
Then the two started fighting. They were about the same height, one was 188cm and the other was 185cm. They were both in good shape, and the fight was pleasing to the eye. The original Vince was a grumpy rough guy who used wrestling moves to show off his size.
The arms have no beauty whatsoever.
When Mia saw that the situation was not good, she quickly asked Dom to go out and start a fight.
Dom first took a look at the fighting situation between the two, and confirmed that he could not kill anyone with his bare hands, and said lazily: "I told you before, don't put too much chili pepper in the sandwich."
Mia rolled her eyes. "This is really humorous. Go ahead."
"Don't worry, they won't be seriously injured." Yang Jian said and walked out of the house calmly.
He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, showing off his strong muscles. He had a round head and was very energetic. His shoulders were wide, his waist was slender, and his legs were long. At first glance, he had the figure of a male god. He separated the two of them easily, showing his terror.
physical fitness.
This movie is a show of sorts, and both the male and female protagonists have good bodies.
The dialogue between Yang Jian and Paul Walker was over in one go. Unlike the clamoring Vin Diesel in the original version, he showed his intimidation and domineering power with just a few glances. He didn't speak loudly, but he gave the impression that this was
Don't mess with him. He is very strong. If you mess with him, you will be in big trouble.
Yang Jian's performance was so natural that the director couldn't find any faults.
The reason why this happens is because Yang Jian is used to being the boss, and he just needs to be himself. In the SuperSonics, there are people like Anthony Mason Jr., nicknamed "Killer", and Ben Wallace.
They are tough men with evil faces, but they are all Yang Jian's younger brothers.
Playing opposite roles, Cooper and Paul Walker were both intimidated by Yang Jian's momentum. They were at a disadvantage at first glance, which was exactly in line with the setting of the movie.
"You are not allowed to come here again." Dom returned the wallet to Brian and said calmly.
"Brother, you know this is nonsense, I have my freedom." Brian frowned.
Dom turned around, looked at Brian and asked, "You are working for Harry, right?"
"Yes, I just started working."
"You have been fired." Dom's tone was still calm, with a smile on his lips. This made Brian's brows frown even tighter.
Because Dom's expression showed one thing. As long as he said this, the owner of the high-performance auto parts store would definitely be in trouble and would fire Brian.
The director called out the call, and everyone watching the filming applauded together.
Everyone thought Yang Jian's performance was so good, her eyes were full of drama.
Dom did not sarcastically ridicule Brian, but his eyes expressed a variety of emotions. At first, he looked down on Brian and felt that handsome people could not be used as food. Moreover, this man probably wanted to pick up his sister, which made him a little disgusted.
There was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, and that was why he was looking at his wallet. He wanted to know what the other person did and whether he was a threat to him, because he was doing something illegal.
Finally, he said that Brian was fired, and his smile was a bit proud. He could easily get someone fired, thinking that this was his influence in this place.
After saying that, he patted Vince's back twice, as if to say, I've already vented my anger on you.
Yang Jian's performance is effortless, with a reserved temperament, and she expresses all the character's thoughts through body language and eyes.
Paul Walker frowned as if he was caught up in the drama, worried about his undercover mission. In fact, he was a little confused because he couldn't take the role, but the effect of the performance was not bad, and the director did not say anything about starting over.
Rob Cohen became more confident. He thought of another Chinese actor he had worked with, Li Jie, who had a huge gap in acting skills. Compared with Yang Jian, Li Jie was simply not an actor. He starred in Bruce Lee, who was not good at acting.
It's quite embarrassing, I can't manage it well and my expression is very artificial.
The director believes that Jessica Alba, who lacks acting experience, can also play the role of the second female lead. She admires Yang Jian very much, and her eyes almost make red hearts. If she plays such a role, she will not be her girlfriend.
