Chapter 299. [The guy who grabs the show](1/2)
Facing reporters at the press conference.
"Ahem, do you have any questions for me?" Mel Gibson couldn't bear the "loneliness" and took the initiative to express his goodwill to the reporter enthusiastically.
A small reporter was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
This is absolutely unprecedented. He has interviewed Gibson before. He is so awesome that he can't beat a fart with three sticks. He is a big name. That interview made the young reporter suffer a lot, but now... this guy actually...
Asking for an interview?!
So, the little reporter asked tentatively: "So, Mr. Gibson, what do you think of the role you are about to play?"
"My opinion is very simple. The Spartan king I played is definitely a character with both wisdom and courage! Yes, he combines the wisdom of Wallace and the courage of a patriot, and I will perfectly portray this character.
A person!" Mel Gibson smiled broadly and answered perfectly.
"Compared with Mr. Clinton's Xerxes," the reporter asked again, "who do you think will perform better?"
This question is highly suspected of sowing discord, and is also a favorite of reporters. After all, breaking news means constantly creating "gratitudes and hatreds."
Gibson laughed. As a veteran actor in Hollywood, he didn't know the "depth" of this problem.
"President Clinton is a very good person. I believe that the role he plays will be better than his last one!"
"Aren't you afraid that he will be more popular than you?" the reporter asked reluctantly.
"No, I'm just afraid that he can't surpass me. Yes. Why did I star in this drama? Because I like challenges!" Gibson smiled arrogantly.
…
No one would have thought that a very simple opening ceremony would become a source of intrigue among the actors.
Compared to Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton, who were "jealous" at the press conference, Jason Statham, as a newcomer, encountered good luck.
Specifically, a black female reporter was very curious about him. Seeing him sitting on the bench, she couldn't bear to ask him a few questions. Unexpectedly, when Jason said that he was from England, the female reporter also asked him a few questions.
Come on, "Me too!" I bet this is a British reporter.
Jason added, "I used to be an athlete!"
The black female reporter screamed again: "Oh God, me too!"
fate?!
Jason was stunned.
However, the black female reporter became interested and couldn't help but whisper an invitation: "Are you free tonight, let's have a meal together? After dinner, you can also go to my place for a cup of coffee!" Her eyes were as charming as silk.
Seeing the brunette's appearance, Jason refused very gentlemanly: "I'm sorry, I'm an actor, I don't have time!" But he was shouting in his heart, you are too dark, you are not my type!
How could a black female reporter understand Jason's thoughts? But she was really interested in him. She couldn't help but ask other questions, such as, "How were you selected?" "Are you interested in this?"
How do you feel about the role?" "What do you think is the most attractive about yourself?"
Faced with this series of questions, Jason was very personable. He said with a smile: "The main reason why I was chosen was because the crew was attracted by my appearance and acting skills. Although I am not a person who likes to praise.
My own person, but to be honest, I feel that I have great acting talent and will become a Hollywood action star sooner or later!"
"I feel very good about this role. It suits me very well, because I have a general style. The director also said that this role is perfect for me!"
"The last question, you asked me what I am most satisfied with and what is the most attractive about myself... Haha, this is hard to answer. How should I put it? I feel that everything about me is very good and I am very satisfied, but it is my muscles. I
I am very satisfied with my muscles, especially my abdominal muscles. Really, many people praise my abdominal muscles for being great!"
Everyone was stunned by Jason's super narcissism. The black female reporter opened her mouth wide, and then said something very awesome, "Then can you show your abdominal muscles?"
What's even more awesome is that Jason immediately said: "Okay!" He lifted his clothes and exposed his flesh!
God!
In an instant, everyone was amazed, what a majestic chocolate abs, wow, the muscles can also dance!
The reporters who were originally holding on to Mel Gibson and Bill Clinton were also stunned by the sudden "sexy" scene here.
All the media, all the flashbulbs, were aimed at Jason's abdominal muscles and took pictures wildly.
Jason had no stage fright. In front of everyone and under the spotlight, he did various postures that showed off his perfect figure. At that moment, he became the center of attention!
Gibson and Clinton, who were left out, looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at Jason, who was in the limelight, with only one sentence in their mind, test, this is okay?!
No one could have imagined that the entire launch conference would change so fast, but the highlight in the end was the sudden appearance of newcomer Jason Statham. For Gibson and Clinton, this kid was too cheating, but as a director, Yi Feiyang had no intention
Go research these because he's about to officially announce his return to the world via the media.
At the end, Yi Feiyang stood up energetically and said to everyone: "Finally, thank you again for your attention to my drama! I officially announce that "300 Spartan" has officially started filming!"
…
The first shot follows the plot of the story. Persia sent a messenger, galloping in on a tall horse, announcing the decree of the Persian Emperor Xerxes and demanding the surrender of Greece.
The "galloping horse" scene in this scene was difficult to shoot, especially with a blue screen, as it needed to capture the image of the horse galloping on the endless road.
In order to achieve this kind of lens effect, Yi Feiyang specially sent people to find a horse worth millions, and then asked the actor to ride on it, anger it, and make it run wildly on the treadmill. Yes, it is a treadmill.
But this racehorse is different from humans after all, and is "very uncooperative" in some aspects. Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to ask the actors to communicate with it, feed it, care for it, caress it, and make it feel caring and caring.
Not to mention, this horse is very humane, and the actor finally got along very well with it. However, during the filming, it slapped its hooves again, and finally Yi Feiyang realized that it seemed to be afraid of the camera.
Animals are animals after all.
Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to step forward in person. He cared for it, caressed it, fed it...
Kubi's first scene was finally shot successfully through Kubi's communication.
Next, Mel Gibson, who played the male protagonist, came on the stage. He played the Spartan king Leoni. He was dissatisfied with the arrogance and rudeness of the Persian envoy and the insult to Greece. He kicked him in a rage.
The opponent kicked down the sinkhole and let out a battle roar.
Yi Feiyang attaches great importance to this set of shots, because a movie is like an intuitive novel. Whether it can attract the audience depends on whether the first five minutes are passionate enough, bloody enough, and suspenseful enough. Only in this way can we firmly grasp it.
Capture the audience's heart and keep them watching.
For this reason, Yi Feiyang attached great importance to the beginning of this drama.
The camera is positioned on the track, and the blue screen background has been set off. Then there is the "sinkhole" designed by the props. This is a "big crater" drawn with a 3D painting. From a visual point of view, it can definitely deceive.
your eyes.
The lighting engineer adjusted the light to a warm level to avoid astigmatism from the blue screen behind him.
Sitting behind the camera, Yi Feiyang saw that everything was ready, so he took a loudspeaker and shouted: "God Ike!"
The shooting officially started.
The fierce horse raised its front hooves and stopped at the palace of the King of Sparta.
The arrogant Persian envoy glanced at the Spartan guard with a haughty attitude and said contemptuously, "Let your king come out quickly. I have brought the decree of the great emperor Xerxes!"
Lens transition.
King Leoni, played by Gibson, appears, wearing a scarlet cloak, a golden crown, and the sword of the king.
Gibson has a great figure, with bulging muscles, and looks like a lion when he played Wallace. Of course, it can also be reminiscent of the appearance of the Mayan leader in the movie "Apocalypse" in which he starred in his previous life.
Leoni: "Are you the special envoy from Persia?"
Special envoy: "Yes, I am! Are you the King of Sparta?" His eyes were contemptuous and contemptuous.
The expression on Leonie's face remained unchanged, and he looked at the other party with firm eyes, "That's me. But why don't you salute?"
Special envoy: "Salute? As the Persian envoy, I will only salute our great Emperor Xerxes. For a small country like you, Greece, there is no need!"
…
"Pay attention to feelings, be sure to pay attention to feelings!" Yi Feiyang warned from behind the camera, "Emotional changes must have a sense of hierarchy..."
within the lens.
Leoni: "Well, may I ask what news your Emperor Xerxes asked you to bring?" His tone was sarcastic, which was a provocation to the Persian Empire.
The special envoy was very angry: "How dare you call our Majesty by his first name?"
Leoni's eyes widened, "So what? Are you not convinced?"
The Spartans on both sides were ready to move.
Post softened and said with some sternness: "Okay, I won't argue with a barbarian like you!"
Leoni: "Okay, you weakling, you better read out your bullshit edict!"
The envoy blushed and said, "You damn guy!" He cursed in his heart and read: "Our great Emperor Xerxes issued an edict to the King of Greece..."
What followed was a series of unequal treaties, to the effect that Greece would bow down and pay tribute in the new year.
For the Spartans, it was absolutely a great shame to admit defeat before the battle started.
close-up,
Leonie's face was full of anger, his eyes were spitting fire: "Shut up! You are insulting Sparta!"
The envoy said with a stern face, "So what if I insult you? As long as you refuse, our Persian army will sweep across Sparta, and then you will be destroyed!"
Leonie smiled, a weird smile, a scary smile, "Are you threatening me?"
The envoy bit the bullet and said, "So what? As the king of Sparta, you will die without a burial place!"
To be continued...
