Rebirth in America

??

DreamWorks, the filming location of "Red Dawn".

Since the scenes such as the White House and the Capitol Building had not yet been set up, Alex could only shoot other shots first. The first thing we shot today was a scene that took place in the Kremlin Palace in the Soviet Union, and we planned to put it at the beginning of the film.

Although this Kremlin Palace scene only has a few minutes of content, it is still decorated in a very gorgeous and majestic way, adhering to Alex's consistent pursuit of realism.

In the room, you can see special items of the Soviet Union everywhere, including the sickle and hammer flag, portraits of giants such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin, as well as Russian matryoshka dolls and so on.

The actors are all of Russian origin, and they speak Russian very smoothly. They were dressed as Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and other Soviet generals, and gathered around a table to hold a serious meeting.

This scene is not very difficult, just read a few lines and make a few expressions. The actors in it don't even have names, and their status is determined entirely by the tone and content of their speech.

This is actually Alex's intention. There are too many high-tech items in his movie, and they can be used in the current world political situation. If it were a future science fiction movie, it would be too immersive. If it were a contemporary movie, it would have too many science fiction elements.

In the end, Alex simply confused the chronological background and allowed three generations of Soviet leaders to appear in front of the audience at the same time. Without making it clear, he just let people guess and accept his setting method.

In other words, what Alex does is a so-called fictional historical film, which gives the audience a lot of room for imagination.

"cut!"

Alex waved and said that he was very satisfied with these Russian actors. It could be seen that they had tried their best to perform in front of him.

After recalling the shots just now, I found no problems and no need for reshoots or anything. at last. Alex asked the actors to continue shooting the next shot. This shot was used as a backup in case it failed to pass the approval or the content needed to be adjusted.

Wait until this shot is finished. Today’s filming is over.

"How are the other scenes arranged?" Alex asked the assistant beside him.

The assistant quickly flipped through the record book in his hand and said quickly: "Now only part of the White House has been completed and the rooms inside are being renovated. As for the streets and residential areas, construction has not started yet. The construction of the Capitol Building has not yet begun. It has just started and it is expected to take some time before it can be put into use.”

Alex thought for a moment and said, "Then let's shoot some indoor scenes first and temporarily use the studio to complete it. Also, let them hurry up and decorate the room."

After a pause, he asked again: "How is the work in the props team? Are the mobile phones, laptops, and personal computers I need ready? There are quite a lot of these things, so you have to keep an eye on them. "

The assistant nodded. The reply was: "They have already made some props with the help of Ark Company's technical staff, which should not affect the filming progress."

Because Alex requested the use of some unheard of sci-fi props, the prop team at DreamWorks was busy for a while. Fortunately, Alex provided the design drawings early and arranged for professionals to follow up. That's why nothing went wrong.

Then Alex asked about Bruce Lee again. After he recruited him, he did not leave Bruce Lee free just because he had no filming scenes. At this time, Bruce Lee was training a group of actors to master basic kung fu movements as soon as possible.

For some of the fight scenes in the movie, Alex simply let Bruce Lee design them, and finally approved them himself. Of course. Alex doesn't just turn his back on everything. He has a lot of ideas for some kung fu moves that don't look flashy enough or too old-fashioned.

Under Alex's demonstration, Bruce Lee quickly adapted to the role of action director, and after absorbing some action design perspectives from the future, he developed great interest and passion.

but. Sometimes Bruce Lee still got into trouble and refused to come out. He said to Alex: "This trick won't work. The power is too small and the movements are too big. If you face a real master, something will happen! You must do this to kill the enemy. "

Alex looked at him strangely. Said: "I know, but this is a movie for the audience. As long as it looks awesome, why pursue authenticity?"

After several arguments, Bruce Lee slowly accepted that movies are movies and reality is reality. He designed some actions to be more ornamental, but practicality was not considered.

In this movie, Alex plays an agent who is about thirty years old. To reflect his age, a makeup artist is needed to achieve it. In fact, he can do it himself even without a makeup artist. After all, when it comes to the art of disguise, Alex's skills have reached the level of a master.

After several final makeup designs, Alex finally settled on a look that looked like a veteran who had just retired from the battlefield, but compared to a real soldier, the protagonist looked more handsome and tough.

In the setting, the protagonist of this film is an agent named Mike. He participated in the Vietnam War in the early days. After returning to China, he was selected into the ranks of the presidential bodyguards. Due to an accident, he was transferred from his post and was assigned to the White House clerical department. Became a clerk.

Before the White House, Capitol Building and other scene facilities were set up, Alex finished shooting this part first. In addition to some scenes recalling the battlefield in Vietnam, there were also some interactive content with the US president and his family.

These shots were shot very quickly. The President of the United States in this film looks a bit like Kennedy, and the president and his wife also look like Jacqueline.

In the film, the president's daughter Alice is only about ten years old. She plays very well with Mike, and even gets into trouble with her family because the president fired the leading actor.

The young actress who plays Alice is a little fan of Alex. She likes to stick to him whenever she has free time. No matter how others chase her away, she refuses to leave. As time went by, Alex also liked this little guy, and often joked that he would write a script for her and make a good movie to make her popular.

"Alex, how do you use this phone?"

"Alex. Is this action standard?"

"Alex! Alex!"

The little one knows how to hang around Alex all day long, but she learns things very quickly. She is very good at acting and singing, but Alex has never heard her name in later generations. Perhaps this is a little genius drowned in the torrent of history.

In the film, some details of daily life are used to highlight the use of network technology, especially on mobile phones, laptops and computers. After careful design by Alex and production by Ark's technical staff, these technological products from the future are just like the real thing. At least the functional effects that people see in the movie are quite realistic, and there is almost no flaw.

These shots are complex and changeable. Although they didn't take many minutes to be played in the end, they took a lot of time. After the filming was completed, I finally got the news that the White House scene and layout were completed [for more exciting novels, please enter "rmxsw click on the net\
