Rebirth In Hollywood

During the busy shooting, the time turned to 2006. The arrival of the new year had no impact on the "Transformers" crew. Except for the plot of the final battle on the weekends, most of the time, the crew gradually shifted to More human scenes.

The crew rented a temporary parking lot and several nearby houses in the small town of Pasadena as a location for filming.

In order to film the scene about used cars here, General Motors provided the crew with nearly 300 vintage cars, of which, of course, the vintage Camaro sports car incarnation of the Hornet.

As one of the most important launch target models in the advertisement, Chevrolet, a subsidiary of GM, also specially created two concept versions of Camaro sports cars for the crew. These two sports cars have unique attributes from parts to engines. Only four other sports cars will arrive as standard with the same.

Of course, the ordinary version of this sports car is not expensive, and Chevrolet itself is aimed at the youth market.

Unfortunately, Ryan has no special hobby for cars or anything, otherwise he will definitely get a unique Bumblebee.

The male protagonist he plays also does not have a very special hobby for cars, but as a person who has just stepped into society, like most young Americans, he urgently needs a job to make ends meet, and also needs a car to travel.

A cheap used car is undoubtedly the best option.

"Scene 32, Act 17." Michael Bay shouted himself, "Start now!"

Five cameras were set up in the parking lot at the same time to record the rivalry between the male and female protagonists from all angles.

"Mikaela!"

The owner of the used car store saw Ryan walking into the parking lot and shouted to his daughter, "A customer is coming."

Then, a pair of straight and attractive long legs stepped out of the door first, and Alessandra Ambrosio, dressed in a tight shirt and leggings shorts, walked towards Ryan.

"Hey, is there anything I can help you with?" she greeted Ryan, "you look familiar."

"I live near here and just moved here." Ryan walked over to a car and patted the rusted roof hard, "I need a car."

"That's a 1985 Citroen."

Although the acting skills are not very good, but the long-term modeling career,

Let Alessandra Ambrosio know how to show his body in front of the camera. "You can drive away for only six thousand dollars."

"Six thousand dollars?" Ryan shook his head and immediately moved away from the broken car that seemed to fall apart at any moment.

He walked along the old cars lined up in a row, and the shrewd woman beside him offered an unacceptable price.

Ryan didn't stop until he approached an old Camaro sports car, which looked oddly old but had a race-car coating that made it more attractive than the others.

"How much is this car?"

With that said, he opened the car door and sat in. The cameraman who was lying in the back seat immediately stood up and took a close-up of the sign on Ryan's dust-removed steering wheel.

"Five thousand dollars!"

After the sexy beauty outside reported the price, she seemed a little puzzled and whispered, "Why don't I remember this car?"

"Hey, that..."

"Sam." Ryan got out of the car.

"Sam, what do you think?"

The saleswoman seemed to be very experienced, walking around showing off her long legs. "Sometimes it's not the driver that chooses the car, but the car that chooses the driver. This is the fate between humans and cars."

She went to the front cover of the car and made a very sexy gesture, "Look, you came here, and you fell in love with this car, this is a unique Camaro racing car, you go to other markets , absolutely can't buy it!"

"Look, the stripes on this car, I'm sure it's raced at the national level!"

"How much?" Ryan asked.

"Five thousand dollars!"

"Up to three thousand dollars!"

"Please stay away from my car!" The woman walked over and closed the door.

"Hey, miss..."

"Mikaela." This woman seemed very individual.

"Miss Michaela."

For the male protagonist who has just stepped into the society, the other party seems to be very difficult to deal with, "You just said that the car chooses the driver."

"No car likes a stingy driver!"

"cut!"

Michael Bay's voice sounded from behind the camera, "Miss Ambrosio, can you be more expressive?"

These days, this situation often occurs. Although Michael Bay's requirements are not high, the other party is not a real actor after all. Compared with the aura of showing off his body, the facial changes during performance are naturally much worse. .

For this reason, Michael Bay even deleted many of the heroine's lines, so that the character who was originally a vase has completely turned into a super vase that is more dispensable than in the previous life movies.

Of course, when the heroine appears in the camera, the camera spends most of the time capturing Alessandra Ambrosio's sexy figure and those beautiful legs. In commercial productions, the pure vase heroine is the audience's most attractive figure. A delightful thing to hear.

Maybe Alessandra Ambrosio doesn't look too beautiful in reality, but it is really very photogenic. Most of the scenes that have passed, Ryan and Michael Bay are very satisfied, which completely embellishes the film.

This is enough, can you ask for more from a Victoria's Secret angel?

It took a whole morning to complete the shooting of the car dealership. At the end of the shooting, the crew blew up the window glass of all the used cars, and the fragments were flying all over the sky, which looked extremely spectacular, even without fire and smoke. The explosion, in the hands of Michael Bay and his team, also played well.

Because the filming of the location has been going on for a while, and Disney's publicity is slowly unfolding, since the New Year, more and more media and reporters have appeared around the crew. Like all paparazzi, they will seize every opportunity to snoop. The progress of the film and insider information, in order to get exclusive.

At noon, several persevering reporters stopped in front of Ryan. The microphones and recording pens they sent had both the words of TV station and the mark of Disney Family Online. Facing his own media, Ryan still said A few words so that Disney's publicity plan can be better launched.

"Mr. Jenkins, can you tell me your purpose of making "Transformers" a live-action movie?" Likewise, Disney's media reporters knew what to ask, "There's a lot of news that you really like the series?"

"Yes, I like this series very much." Ryan nodded without hesitation, "I liked this series of cartoons very much when I was a child."

"As for why a live-action movie version is made."

He continued, "I don't think in all the years of filmmaking that a truck has ever been turned into a 20-foot-tall robot on the screen, I also wanted to make a work that paid homage to the classic cartoons of the past, looking for The imagination that Hollywood has lost for many years. There will be many moments in the movie that have touched us, even if people over 30 years old, when they see the movie, they still feel like a 10-year-old child.

"But there are a lot of people criticizing..."

Later, a reporter from an unknown newspaper took out several conceptual design drawings of Optimus Prime released by the crew. "Such robots have no sense of reality. Their slender and slender bodies cannot bear their weight at all."

"Who said they were robots?" Ryan spread his hands and said, "They are mechanical beings! Just like humans, they are advanced beings with thoughts, feelings, hobbies, and dislikes. They should have the same beauty as humans. streamlined body."

Ryan stressed, "Remember, they're not those boxy, clunky robots made of steel by humans, and if they were designed to look like clumsy robots, it would look fake and boring, because it's not like an alien galaxy. The intelligent life of the people is like the inferior robot products produced by the Japanese."

Industrial Light and Magic has been designing and producing computer animations of Transformers' deformations for the past few months. They carefully compared every detail on the car model. At first, the deformation process they designed followed the laws of physics, but this way The result is that it looks neither exciting nor fluid enough

For such a movie with special effects as its main selling point, this is simply fatal.

Later, Industrial Light and Magic proposed a plan to use liquid metal on the surface of the King Kong character, but Ryan rejected it. He only replied with one sentence from Industrial Light and Magic - this is Transformers, not t1000!

Ultimately, ILM opted for a 'Cube' style that ditched the laws of physics entirely, so that the Transformers, whether static or dynamic, would look more interesting, real, dynamic and fast, rather than clumsy beasts.

An important decision in the ILM stunt production process was to keep the wheels touching the ground for as long as possible, so the robot could keep moving while deforming, maintaining a basic sense of realism.

Ryan's opinion was unanimously approved by Michael Bay. Both of them knew exactly where the selling point of the movie was. The boxy and bulky Transformers were a disaster for such a commercial sci-fi film.

He also specially asked Tiger Chen to collect two free-kick performances and videos of several action films that incorporated judo, muay thai and other fighting styles, and provided them to the special effects animators of Industrial Light and Magic for observation, in order to make the fight scenes in the film watchable. Up is more beautiful.

In addition, before Michael Bay became a film director, he had directed many car commercials. He knew how to make these mechanical lives closely related to cars in the pictures look more realistic. The ray tracing method he proposed was also obtained by industrial light. Demon's unanimous approval.

Similar to the literary drama between male and female protagonists, it is not the type that Michael Bay is good at, and he will not put too much energy into it. After ending the scene where Sam and Mikaela met, the crew moved to the US military base again. Start shooting hot blast shots.

However, Ryan wants to leave the crew first, and he has long promised to visit the other side of the Pacific Ocean as the chairman of Disney's board of directors this month. r1152 ()
