Today's Zhao Yuan is no longer an unknown person in Hollywood.After all, whether it is "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as the screenwriter or "Blair the Witch" and "Spirit: Ghost Record" as the screenwriter.The huge achievements at the box office can be said to be rare even in the whole of Hollywood.To put it mildly, there is no major Hollywood film production company that is not looking forward to cooperating with Zhao Yuan.After all, although great directors like James Cameron have also made great achievements in making commercial films, the cost of making their films is also huge.Like Zhao Yuan, since "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the production cost of each movie has not exceeded 10 million.Even if "Heroes Out of Control" has a slogan of 15 million on the promotion, compared with the box office revenue of "Blair the Witch" and "Smart: Ghost Shadow", not to mention 15 million, even if it costs 20 million or 30 million, there will be film production companies waving dollars to seek cooperation.Hollywood, in the final analysis, is a circle where interests come first.As long as he can make money, no matter how bad a director is, he will always have endless movie invitations.......
""Heroes Out of Control" Scene 42 Third Shot, A!
”Although the new movie "Heroes Out of Control" is also a film with the theme of "pseudo-documentary", there is still a certain degree of difference between it and the previous films directed by Zhao Yuan.This can be glimpsed from the shooting angle of the DV camera.Although the DV camera angles of "Blair the Witch" and "Smart: Ghost Shadows" are shaky, they are moved by the actor's arm as a bracket, so it doesn't take much thought to shoot the movie angle, and it doesn't hurt to try to fit the reality or even shake the camera at will.This is also the reason why Zhao Yuan dared to act as a film director himself.Because this kind of 'pseudo-documentary' film itself is the film shooting that does not test the director's skills.However, this kind of filming method obviously doesn't work well in "Heroes Out of Control".At the beginning of the plot, before the leading actor and others did not gain superpowers, this rough shooting technique may still be able to cope with the past, but after the plot became a superhero with the protagonist group of the movie, the requirements for the shooting angle of the DV camera became one of the problems that Zhao Yuan needed to think about.The description of this filming is simply pointed out in words in the script: the protagonist Dane uses superpowers to control the DV camera to levitate in the air to shoot several people using superpowers.However, in the specific shooting, Zhao Yuan, as the director, needs to seriously think about the angle of the DV camera movement, how to let the audience see the DV camera suspended in mid-air, but not abrupt.In order to be able to show this scene in the movie, Zhao Yuan can be described as painstaking.If it weren't for the fact that he himself had the movie "Super Runaway" as a reference, and compared the plot of the filming, perhaps the filming progress of the movie "Heroes Out of Control" would have been delayed again and again, but even if there was already a reference, the filming time of "Heroes Out of Control" had exceeded nearly a month or so, becoming the film with the longest shooting cycle in Zhao Yuan's hands today.Of course, if Zhao Yuan's inner thoughts at the moment are known by those Hollywood directors, he will definitely be blinded.It takes a month to shoot a movie, which is the most normal thing, and an ordinary movie may not even go to one-third of the script for a month, and the footage of a big scene is directly gone for half a month.And here in Zhao Yuan, "Heroes Out of Control" is nearing the end of this month.With such a filming speed, it is no wonder that Wen Ziren feels pressured.It's just that the movies that were shot at such a speed, but each one has a scary high score at the box office.…… At the scene, with Zhao Yuan's order."
Calm down, Michael, we're friends, have you forgotten what we used to be like superheroes!"
Several of the main actors in "Heroes Out of Control" get into the groove, hanging in a green screen set and reading out the lines from the script.In reality, the fight between the three 'Andrews' took place in a neighborhood in the heart of New York.Of course, it is impossible to shoot the film anywhere, especially since the damaged neighborhood has not been completely repaired, and there are still traces of the destruction of the battle, which does not match the shot at the beginning of the movie.Therefore, the shots of this part can only be done through special effects in post-production.What's more, if you really want to apply for a filming permit in the center of New York, it takes time and money to apply for both funding and upfront, and it is far less easy to complete it with special effects."
Michael, we can leave now, fly out of here......"
Weiya was hanging from his body, simulating the feeling of being suspended in mid-air, although several of the main actors under the green screen were actually less than half a meter above the ground, but they still tried to show the feeling of floating, and the huge fan not far from them simulated the feeling of a strong wind."
Superhero, now I'm a supervillain, an apex predator!"
In the face of the lines spoken by the protagonist Dane, the actor who played the movie villain Michael across from him grinned evilly, his bloated body and special effects makeup on his face to hide his original appearance, and his appearance was roughly similar to the 'Steve' captured by the TV camera lens before.This approach is naturally to allow the audience of the movie to better bring the movie into the previous war in New York.The only difference is the skin color of Michael's actor, in reality 'Steve' is an out-and-out black man, while in "Heroes Out of Control" he becomes a white man.This is in line with how Hollywood's political correctness has changed.Nowadays, the topic of racial discrimination is becoming more and more intense, although it is not impossible to invite blacks as villains, it will inevitably attract some glass-hearted blacks to protest, once it is hyped by people with ulterior motives to regard it as discrimination against blacks, it will undoubtedly be worth the loss for the movie.Therefore, instead of keeping a black villain, it will cause unnecessary trouble and controversy.Especially in the movie "Heroes Out of Control", it is clear that it is a gimmick of superhero runaway destruction.It's easy to find excuses to protest why it's blacks, not whites, who are out of control.Rather than this, it is better to invite a black actor to play this role from the beginning, anyway, when it comes to the post-production with special effects and DV shots, you can't see much difference.
