888. Extreme
I have to say that in some aspects, the country is indeed not as good as Hollywood.
Especially in terms of brains.
Wang Yifan only provided several conceptual pictures of the chariots he could remember.
But it is more about providing them with a reference.
Understand his ideas and needs.
As a result, Minnik and his group gave Wang Yifan a huge surprise.
In a studio at Mina Film Studios, the first batch of models were placed on the exhibition stand.
Maybe some people don’t understand why they need to make models?
These models are not available when making movies.
But in fact, these props, especially chariots, are absolutely not enough to have a concept map alone.
The engineering volume of modified vehicles is very large, so most of them first produce concept maps, then make them into models, and finally make physical transformations based on the model and concept maps.
These models are not useless. On the contrary, after the movie is released in the future, they will be models of the film's peripheral products.
The most conspicuous part of the exhibition stand is not the car of the male protagonist Max, nor the war machine of the female protagonist Ferosa.
It's an electronic music float for the mysterious guitarist!
Minnik introduced Wang Yifan with some excitement.
"The electric float is designed based on the concept of a fire-breathing guitarist you proposed. It is equipped with giant speakers, and there are digital drummers at the rear of the car. It is paired with the double-neck fire guitar of the electric warrior to inspire the convoy forward. This car is really crazy. The mobile stage of various speakers is piled up. The fire-breathing guitar you proposed is the biggest highlight." Minnik loves this job so much.
"I even want to own an electric float like this. It's so cool. I believe that when the movie is shot, it will definitely be scary, hahaha!" Minnik said excitedly.
"Can this car be used after it is modified, right?" Wang Yifan was still a little worried, because these modified cars were like war monsters. Whether such cars can be truly practical in desert environments is also a question he needs to consider.
"Don't worry, there is no problem, we already have a complete set of solutions!" Minnik was very confident about this.
"Although these cars have a cool appearance, in fact, the inner modification is cooler. Everyone will fall in love with this kind of war vehicle. They are simply walking war machines!" Minnik continued.
After watching it one by one, Wang Yifan’s biggest feeling was that it was just how crazy and chaotic Americans were to change cars, which can be seen from these models.
Moreover, seeing Minnik's excited look, Wang Yifan didn't want to say anything more. People in the United States just like to play, and the more crazy things they like.
Regarding vehicles, Wang Yifan is an unscrupulous layman. His request is that these modified cars should be cool enough, while others are second.
Of course, these modified cars themselves are not cheap.
According to Minnik's introduction, the cost of just a few main characters is definitely not low.
It can definitely be considered a sky-high price in other movies.
For example, Ferrosa's war machine, the cost of modification is to reach one million US dollars!
The other large tanks cost a lot, but the results were indeed shocking.
Of course, the cool thing about "Mad Max Furious Road" is not just these different shapes, wild and violent chariots, but also many things, which are also cool.
The film uses a large number of stunts, and for this purpose, a special acrobatic expert who has been in the industry for many years was hired from the circus. Many stunts rely on field shooting. In addition to the skills of stunts, some professional equipment is also being prepared.
In fact, when it comes to playing high-end and difficult actions, you really have to admire the degree of Americans' desperation.
For example, if you want to take a chariot, just look at Minnik's attitude.
In many cases, when choosing a vehicle in China, most of the priority is safety and other things, but many of them do not look at this at all.
Most of the time, they pay more attention to cool!
You think the most popular cars in the United States are those cars, no, the most popular ones are all kinds of heavy-duty cars.
Especially trucks with thick lines and heavy pickup trucks are their favorites.
Why do they say they are very capable of committing suicide? Because in the shooting script, there is a scene that requires the modified car to show a spectacular collision effect, and the stunts need to find the safest way to flip the locomotive.
To solve this problem, the stuntman specially made a flat steel plate to install it under the car. It can be retracted after slapping the ground, allowing the stunt driver to control the car when the car flips.
This new method makes shooting of the flip locomotive quite safe. A skilled driver flipped 8 and a half laps while doing the test.
Imagine what it means to turn eight and a half circles.
And this special cat is not flipping, but the car is flipping!
This can be said to be an action that can break the record in the movie world.
Of course, in the early years, there were many stunts with extremely high "death" levels in Hong Kong movies, but in recent years, few people have tried those high-risk and difficult stunts.
Because in that year, many people's attitude towards movies was really, very focused.
Many stunt actors can be said to be really hard-working.
Just like the elder brother in his previous life, why does a movie repeat a picture several times? Because he did, that action was done by the actor himself.
The eldest brother Cheng at that time was a famous big star. Even though he worked so hard, he deserved to be famous.
But today, this situation is almost impossible to see.
Some people, if they are worn out, can stop shooting. If they can persist in shooting, they can be so hyped that they are dedicated!
However, in Hollywood, many stunts can still make such high-risk movements.
When the truck driver was filming "The True Lies", it was said that there was a scene that was hung on a helicopter, and the director held a camera from the helicopter and poked out his body to shoot.
It can definitely be said to be a typical example of not being crazy and not living!
In fact, in the Golden Age of Hong Kong Film, it was actually not worse than this.
Some directors also do everything they can to make movies.
There is a horror film director who actually lets the actors eat rotten things in order to make the film more realistic. Anyway, it's outrageous.
In order to film the scene where a person was bitten by a dog, the director did not inform the actor in advance and hungry the wolf dog for several days. As a result, the actor was almost bitten by the dog on the spot!
This situation is not to mention everywhere, but it is definitely very common!
Therefore, it was not unreasonable that Hong Kong movies were frequently released at that time.
But what about now?
Many older generation filmmakers have also begun to enjoy it, and many actors have also begun to protect themselves, or they will not make such great sacrifices for a movie.
But in Hollywood, although many actors seem to be said to be a vase that sells faces, many of them are really incomparable to many young actors.
