Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 146 Funny Robber
"boom!"

Amidst the sound of gunshots, all the crew members were a little confused at this moment. They didn't know why during the filming, several masked men wearing hoods suddenly rushed in inexplicably facing the dazzling lights and took out He fired a pistol into the sky and said he was going to rob.

They originally planned to light up the factory door and let Beyoncé dance in front of it.

Tang De's phrase "What are you hiding there for?" was referring to field affairs. When the lights came on, he stayed by the tripod, blocking part of the light source, and was scolded by Tang De.

The phrase "Why are you here so late?" was talking to the lighting engineer. Because the charger of a lamp was left out in the previous scene, the lighting engineer ran back to get it, one step slower than the others.

Unexpectedly, these two sentences caused a misunderstanding among several black robbers, which directly turned the original sneak attack into an open robbery.

However, as soon as these two words came out, coupled with the sound of gunshots, everyone came back to their senses. They were all panicked for a while and fell to the ground.

However, the next moment, Tom took out a gun from his waist, hid behind the prop box, and also aimed at several black robbers.

"Bang!" The bullet hit Kabigo's feet, scaring him so much that he quickly retreated.

At the same time, Tang De took the microphone and shouted: "Put down the gun! Exit the factory! Our people have already aimed at your heads. Anyone who dares to step forward will be killed immediately!"

As for how they knew the location, it was all thanks to Cabigo. After all, he had connections with the local gangsters, and he knew Beyoncé’s filming location after asking a few friends.

Seeing the robbers running away and falling to the ground, the courage of the crew members also returned. They shouted "Kill them" loudly, and each of them honestly suppressed the three robbers with injured legs. There was no intention of pursuing him at all.

The other three also wanted to leave, but as soon as they turned around, Tom's bullets arrived.

"Hey, help me find two people...tell Old K. One is called Kabigo and the other is Big D...What step should we take?"

Except for the three unlucky guys, no one was injured, and the crew members had more free time to talk about.

The storm disappeared a day later like a pebble thrown into a pond.

Tang De was right. Under the illumination of such film-level headlights, Kabigo and the others struggled to open their eyes. When they looked directly at the light, they felt that several circles of different colors were floating in front of their eyes. Where could they find them? Where is the shooter.

In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the crew, Tang De also asked Jay-Z to find a group of local security companies for protection. Looking at the bright guns and neatly equipped body armor in the hands of the security personnel, everyone finally felt safe.

After hanging up the phone, Tang De looked at the somewhat messy scene. Alarm bells rang in his ears again. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, the shooting can only be postponed."

Ten minutes later he knew everything before the police arrived.

"It's really outrageous." Tang De looked at these black people dumbfounded, and then looked at Beyoncé, whose expression was full of apologies. Without saying anything, he called Slow directly.

Although he didn't know where these people came from, since he didn't have the superior firepower, he could only bluff to make them retreat.

The leading black man is called Big D. He is an underground radio DJ, is a good friend of LaTavia, and is also the eldest brother of several underground rappers.

"SHXT!" Upon seeing this, the leading black man knew that his group's action had failed, and quickly chased Kabigo away.

Tang De paused for a moment: "It doesn't matter, look at you, I just need them to disappear."

Unable to see clearly and facing the unknown risk of being shot, Kabigo was the first to get scared. He backed away repeatedly, turned around and ran out of the gate.

But Tang De didn't care, he just wanted to know where these stupid robbers came from.

It turns out that these guys are all underground rappers from the West Coast. They don’t have high status and they just do nothing but drink and pick up girls every day. They came here to avenge Beyoncé for humiliating them at the party and disrupting her filming.

When escaping, it is most taboo to show your back to the enemy. Unfortunately, they do not know this truth. Tom calmly aimed at the thighs of several people. After three shots, there were only three moaning unfortunates left on the ground.

Anyway, looking at the funny look of the five black robbers covering their eyes in the headlights like daylight while raising the guns in their hands and pointing them forward, they probably couldn't see clearly how many people were in front of them.

In this way, the MV shooting lasted three days and finally came to an end.

Beyoncé's sexy dance moves from day to night, changing many outfits and scenes, including graffitied streets and burning ruins.

In order to express the passionate feeling when the two sang together, Tang De had five abandoned vehicles brought over, all of which were burned to the ground. That night, the fire shot into the sky, and the footage of Beyoncé dancing in front of the flames shocked every crew member.

After filming the MV for Beyoncé's new song, Tang De went to CAA non-stop for an actor audition.

It has to be said that some actors are indeed very close to this movie. For example, the original actors who played Dr. Lawrence Gordon and Detective David Tap still appeared on the list of candidate actors. As for the actor who played Adam , it is still confirmed that the screenwriter Leigh Whannell will star.

The old man Jigsaw also found Tobin Bell to star. The key characters of the original version have basically remained unchanged, except for the first disciple of Jigsaw, Amanda.

Her original actor did not appear, so Tang De directly cast Cindy. The two people have similar temperaments, but Cindy is more beautiful than the original version.

But this is easy to handle. You only need to deliberately look older in makeup to create enough contrast.

In addition, Kyoko Fukada also received a small role, that is, the intern who has an affair with Dr. Lawrence. This role does not appear in many scenes in the movie. She only needs to be beautiful and sexy, which is suitable for her to be a vase.

After the actors were confirmed, all that was left was the scene. Tang De had to praise CAA's execution on this point.

The prop masters of the packaging team spent just three days setting up seven completely different scenes in the warehouse filming location they rented. They also followed the script and Tang De's instructions to perfectly create each scene. A terrifying killing machine.

For example, the most classic jaw breaker, body twisting machine and needle hell in Chainsaw were included in James Wan's script, while the latter two were deliberately picked from memory by Tang De in order to add some highlights to the movie. Find it out and let the prop masters rush to make it.

Although he will not use these mechanisms in the first film, he plans to find actors to do some real-life shooting and put them into the Easter eggs at the end to pave the way for the sequel.

After hearing Tang De's ideas about torture tools, James Wan and Leigh Whannell couldn't help breaking out in cold sweats, because each of the props in Tang De's mouth was more perverted than the last, such as a hair loss winch, a stove game, and scalp tearing. Devices, these things can feel painful just listening to them, let alone showing them on the screen.

When James Wan heard these names, he already thought about what the second part would be about. He believed that it would definitely make everyone watching the movie hold their breath and feel extraordinary horror.

With this excitement, the filming of the movie officially started.

The first bathroom scene showed James Wan Tang De's control over the entire movie.

"Use a small light on the left side to outline the edge of the character, and let in 30% of the light!"

"Get some water stains on the ceiling, I need it to drip down from time to time! The sound engineer was careful not to let the dripping sound obscure the vocals."

"Lei! Your acting skills need to be more natural. I want you to show fear and anger. Yes, you think you are right and you should not be punished!"

"Elvis, you are very calm and you perform well at this level, but you have to remember that you are just an ordinary person! You are cursing in your heart all the time, so you have to show a ferocious look occasionally, understand. Yet?"

Elwes plays Dr. Lawrence, one of the protagonists in the movie.

Tang De walked around the whole place, guiding various departments to do their jobs well.

During the whole process, Wen Ziren couldn't get a word in at all, because he found that Tang De had already said everything he could think of, and Tang De had already made requests that he didn't see.

And when Tang De held the camera and started shooting, James Wan saw the strength of this Oscar-winning photographer through a series of shots.

"Wow... It's really amazing. There was no jitter at all from beginning to end." James Wan stood in front of the monitor, watching intently.

The camera lens first shot directly at the body, then slowly zoomed out, moving along the blood stains on the floor. After arriving at Leigh Whannell's hand, he went around to the back of his head to show a panoramic view of the entire bathroom. Finally, when he woke up, he steadily focused on his eyes, and the frightened look was immediately captured on the screen. It captured James Wan's heart and brought up his emotions with the camera.

But when he finished sighing, Greta standing next to him shrugged and said with a smile: "This is too simple for Don."

"Is this easy?" James Wan turned to look at the female assistant director with a look of surprise. Although he had never worked on a Hollywood crew, he had seen a lot in school before and knew that he wanted to control the camera so accurately. How difficult it is.

"Of course, I have seen more complicated shots than this, and Tang Yiran only shot it twice." When Greta talked about these, she still had a subtle sense of superiority as if she was the first to come. Seeing that James Wan was a little unconvinced, she laughed. : "Keep watching, you will know."

"Okay." Wen Ziren nodded and looked at the monitor.

And just when the "Saw" crew was busy in full swing, two black men were also being hunted and running around.
