MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 885 Tesla
The crash scene is difficult to shoot on green screen, and the visual impact brought by the speed and passion is difficult to complete through computer production. In Hollywood commercial blockbusters, crash scenes are usually real crashes.
Of course, film companies can't really collide with expensive luxury sports cars, such as the "Fast and the Furious" series, that would be a loss.
Most of the vehicles in the crash scenes are scrapped cars.
The crew will invite a special design company to make several car shells that can be faked and put on the outside of the scrapped car. However, fakes are fakes after all, so when shooting a crash scene, the angle of capture is very important.
Once shot, it will have a strong visual impact. The filming is not good...it's a bit like a car crash scene in a Hong Kong film in the 1980s, very fake and shocking.
Other parts of this scene in "Avengers" are easy to shoot, but the most difficult part is the scene where the car rolls over.
In the plot, "Ant-Man" was driving a flying car with "Wasp", but was almost hit by the building rubble that fell from above. In order to avoid being hit, he quickly activated the small device.
According to the conservation of kinetic energy and momentum of physics, the smaller the mass, the faster the speed will inevitably be, which will cause the speed of the vehicle to exceed the control range. A slight collision will cause the vehicle to roll over and even sparks to splash around.
The process of becoming bigger and smaller requires computer production.
But the rollover scene still needs to be shot realistically, which is more emotional.
According to Dunn's idea, he will shoot this group of shots from three different directions in order to achieve the greatest visual impact visually.
First, from the side and rear of the car, the rear of the car is blown up under the impact; then from the side of the car, the car is "turning somersault" forward; finally, the car rolls towards the camera from a positive angle. lens.
Such a complicated scene cannot be shot at one time. In fact, in order to complete the scene, the crew prepared 6 stunt performers and 5 spare cars in case of emergency.
"Andy, it's up to you."
Dunn walked to Andy Thomp and patted his shoulder with a smile.
He is the assistant director of the film, the royal team selected by Dunn in his early years, and the main person in charge of the stunt team and the explosion team.
Andy Thomp said confidently: "Boss, just sit on the side and watch the show with peace of mind. After setting up the camera, I'll start here!"
After more than an hour of careful arrangement by the crew, the good show is finally about to be staged.
At the rear of the car, explosives have been installed, and two stuntmen, both dressed in "Ant-Man" and "Wasp" costumes, will replace Paul Rudd and Rose Byrne, filming this section is full of danger sexual lens.
After all, not everyone is Tom Cruise.
It is not a matter of professionalism, but the strong intervention of insurance companies.
Tom Cruise dared to work against the insurance company and did everything personally. Even when filming "Mission Impossible", he had the experience of firing the insurance company and taking out personal insurance because of too much intervention.
Not at the level of Paul Rudd and Rose Byrne.
First, they don't have the level of Tom Cruise and Jack Chen, and secondly, they don't have enough coffee. At their level, if they dare to go against the insurance company, it will inevitably lead to a collective ban by the insurance company and refusal to apply for insurance, and then Hollywood film companies will not be able to ask them to film.
During this period of time, Dunn had a careful study of Hollywood's insurance business, and he felt more and more that the insurance company's hands in Hollywood covered the sky.
No wonder it is rumored in the industry that it is better to offend the six giants than the insurance company!
This is absurd. Is Hollywood the Hollywood of movie companies or the Hollywood of insurance companies?
Dunn decided to do some detailed investigation after going back.
This matter needs to be resolved!
"start!"
With Dunn's order, the cars on the highway began to move.
According to the process of the rehearsal, after the car drove to the predetermined position, the person in charge of the explosion team decisively pressed the detonating device.
"boom!"
Explosion sound.
At the rear of the car, a red flame suddenly jumped up, accompanied by a roaring sound, the car rolled forward in the thick black smoke at the rear.
The car landed on its back, and after hitting the ground heavily, it slid another six or seven meters before it stopped.
Broken car glass all over the floor.
After the end of the mirror, the staff of the explosion team and the special team all took action one after another, extinguishing the fire, cleaning up the cleaning, checking the injuries and checking the injuries...
The production team and the director team are all around the DIT digital workstation.
There were just two stuntmen in the car.
The hourly salary is only $120 per person.
Hollywood doesn't care about human nature, it doesn't matter whether it is safe or injured. They are more concerned with the effect of the filmed footage.
This scene is a test of the ability of the DIT digital workstation and the function of the real-time preview technology.
This scene not only depends on the explosion effect of the car, but also the video editing of the picture-in-picture, and the footage of the speeding car is edited into the picture on the streets of New York...
"How about it?"
"is acceptable."
"The side camera works, but the rear and front cameras don't work well."
"Okay, then save the side shot. Start all over again!"
"Stunt team and explosion team ready!"
"20 minutes later, reshoot!"
...
Filming in Los Angeles, the tax rate is far higher than Cleveland and Atlanta, even higher than New York.
However, this is Hollywood's lair after all.
Filming here is more comfortable.
In order to maintain the cohesion of the crew and the state of the actors, even after returning to Los Angeles, the crew did not agree to let everyone go home to sleep.
Including Dunn, is also with everyone, sleeping in the hotel, eating and lodging together.
However, this did not prevent Dunn from carrying some private goods during the filming.
"Iron Man" Tony Stark is a super rich man with a Stark Building.
Dunn was not polite, and directly contacted the "Iron Man" Elon Musk in the real world, and used his SpaceX headquarters building as the prototype of the Stark Building.
In this play in Stark Tower, there are many characters, including "Iron Man", "Ant-Man", "Hulk", "Wasp" and "Thor" will appear, and even "S.H.I.E.L.D." Agent Hill" will also be there.
This is the first time that many superheroes have gathered, and they have to reach an agreement to form the "Avengers"!
Stark Industries will provide all organizational funding for the Avengers, and Stark Tower will also be the headquarters of the Avengers.
"Iron Man" Tony Stark is undoubtedly the absolute soul of the Avengers.
(This is also the reason why a civil war will break out later. Iron Man is the founding boss of the Avengers, and Captain America joined later, but his prestige and seniority are higher. Iron Man and Captain America are the two bosses in the Avengers.)
The plays here are mainly literary plays.
The literary drama of commercial films is very simple to shoot, especially the popcorn plot of this kind of gag, it is even easier.
Dunn's greater interest is still Elon Musk.
"I'm very bullish on the future of electric vehicles."
Since the last time Tosca Musk mentioned to Dunn that Tesla needs financing, he has taken it to heart.
A potential stock like Tesla must be won!
Elon Musk was a little embarrassed, "Dawn, you know, Tesla... I also took over halfway."
"how?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet your share requirements."
Tang En is 30% of the shares in one breath, and the minimum guarantee is 25%. This appetite is too great for Elon Musk to eat.
Dunn has a 30% stake in SpaceX Space Adventures because it's a company founded by Elon Musk.
Tesla is different. This is a company founded by others. Because of the lack of financing, the founder found Elon Musk and asked him to take over.
Even Elon Musk's shares are not very large. He has invested a total of 50 million US dollars before and after, part of which is financing and shares, and a larger part is a loan to Tesla.
No way, Tesla has had multiple rounds of financing before, with Wall Street capital behind it.
Wall Street is unlikely to allow massive financing to dilute the stake.
Unless Elon Musk led Tesla to create a miracle, really created a myth of electric cars, and let him have unparalleled prestige within Tesla~www.novelbuddy.com~ Otherwise, don't look at what he is now Tesla’s chairman and CEO will still be greatly constrained by the board of directors.
Dunn sat in Elon Musk's office, was silent for a while, looked up at him, "How much can you win?"
"No more than 15%!"
"so little?"
Elon Musk shook his head and said helplessly: "Dawn, you are my very respected friend. From the earliest Sillywood animation studio to eX space exploration company, our cooperation is very pleasant. You should Understand, I very much look forward to working with you to start an era of electric vehicles."
Dunn can naturally see the sincere words of Elon Musk.
He's just a little scornful of Tesla's board.
Isn't Tesla short of money?
Now there are big bosses coming to raise money, and they still don't agree?
What is Wall Street doing?
Elon Musk explained: "It's mainly about reducing risk. Now, I have a 25% stake in Tesla, and if you get another 25% ... or even 30% of the shares, then our shares Add it up and it will be more than 50%. Tesla’s board of directors will be useless, and investors are also taking precautions.”
"Forget it, are you sure you can handle 15%?"
Dunn waved his hand.
15% is 15%, and Wall Street's fears are not wrong.
Once Tesla is fully controlled by Dunn and Elon Musk, with Dunn's urgency, all powers will be devolved.
At that time, Tesla will be the embodiment of Elon Musk's will, and he can do whatever he wants.
A CEO without board constraints may not be a good thing for a company.
"I try to... uh, no problem!"
Elon Musk hesitated, then took a firm stand.
