American fame and fortune

In July, Baja California was stuffy and humid, and mosquitoes were flying everywhere in the wild, making filming with makeup very tortured.

Martin had already prepared and bought several three-piece suits before he came.

Beside the makeup trailer, Bruce slapped his face, and the big mosquito was smashed to pieces.

Martin approached him again, and almost no mosquitoes came to bite him: "Old Bu, look at the smell on your body, mosquitoes only bite you."

Bruce countered: "You pervert, your blood and flesh stinks, even mosquitoes don't want to bite you."

Martin went back to get the bag, took out a set of essential oils, toilet water and cooling oil, and handed it to Lao Bu: "The first one is applied to the eyelids, the second one is half a bottle, and the third one is applied to Brother Ni, not only the mosquitoes hide Hold you, and let you fly to the sky."

"Are you sure?" Bruce unscrewed the essential oil, smelled it, and felt that something was wrong.

Martin wants to see how it works: "Also, you can use essential oils and cooling oils instead of petroleum jelly. Next time you go to Kardashian, try it."

Bruce poured a little out and rubbed it on the back of his hand. It felt cool and refreshing, and said, "Vanessa Xiao is a little bit interested in you, why don't you try it first?"

"I've tried countless times." Martin went to the gas station ahead, ready to shoot.

Bruce muttered a few words, put on essential oils, sprayed toilet water, and put the cooling oil in his pocket, and when he returned to Los Angeles, he would try it with gold.

Martin came to the set and got familiar with Vanessa.

The two have rehearsed several times, and the cooperation is not bad.

It's a shabby old gas station, a must-have scene in American road horror movies.

Martin looked stylish in a simple pair of jeans, sneakers and a T-shirt, with short, crisp hair.

Out of place with broken gas stations.

Ajia came over: "You look good, you don't belong here, so you are very resistant to this trip, but in order to take care of your wife's face, you have to force yourself to laugh."

Martin nodded: "Most of the time, I will tolerate my father-in-law and let him nag, like a good old man."

"Actually, you are not, you are a pervert!" Ajia directed a Hollywood movie for the first time, and she did many things by herself, and shouted: "Every department is ready, and the shooting will start in two minutes."

With the recording of the scene, the filming officially began.

Martin went to refuel the RV according to his location, and his father-in-law Bob came to talk to him, and the two broke out in a small verbal conflict, and it was more a stubborn old man in the south who accused his son-in-law of not cooperating.

At the same time, children were crying, dogs were barking, and dogs were jumping around.

Ajia pursued perfection, and it took three shots for the first scene to pass.

Originally, Martin was going to see the baby in the next scene, but the baby actor suddenly smelt badly and cried a lot, so he had to temporarily change to the dog scene.

Beauty and the Beast has not yet adjusted its state, and Ajia called the card again and again. Including Martin, the actors participating in this scene can only toss along with them.

Children and animal actors are more troublesome than the actresses in the crew.

are uncontrollable factors.

After finally calming down the dog, when the filming started, the beast suddenly rushed out from the door of the RV and barked at a pile of rocks.

Daniel hurried over to appease, but the beast was still whimpering in warning.

Martin followed among the crowd and went over to take a look.

Bruce jumped out at this moment and blocked Martin: "Be careful, there are rattlesnakes."

Sure enough, in the pile of rocks, there was a one-meter-long khaki-colored rattlesnake coiled around its body, spitting out snake letters, and constantly hitting the ground with its tail.

Facing this poisonous snake, Daniel dragged the beast back slowly.

Dalot, the security chief hired by Craven, had been prepared. He came over with long iron tongs, grabbed the rattlesnake by the head and neck, and dragged it away.

Ajia remembered and asked, "Where's the crew doctor?"

"Here." Someone raised his hand.

Ajia asked: "Have you prepared the poisonous snake serum?"

The doctor has worked with many crews and is fully prepared: "The crew who come to Mexico for filming must have all kinds of common venomous snake serum."

Filming quickly returned to normal.

I don't know if it's because the rattlesnakes were cleaned up, but in the subsequent shooting, the baby actors stopped making trouble, Beauty and the Beast gradually entered the state, and the crew began to operate efficiently.

Most of the shots can be passed in three or four shots.

The scene of the gas station was filmed for three consecutive days, and the crew moved to a nearby scenic spot to shoot.

This is a valley with exposed bedrock, which retains relatively primitive wind-eroded landform features, rugged roads, jagged rocks and sandy mounds, which look particularly desolate.

There is also a natural stone pit nearby, which can be used as a cemetery for freaks to abandon their cars and other items.

Local officials from Mexico stationed in the crew to supervise the crew not to damage the environment, and all garbage must be collected after filming.

As for passing gang members who casually set fire to abandoned cars, he turned a blind eye.

Hollywood crews follow the rules, but gangsters don't have to. If the officials provoke the dealers, they will soon die on the street.

American flags were hung on every car of the crew. As long as local security companies were hired to pay the security fee, traffickers rarely harassed the Hollywood crew.

During the break, several people were chatting, and Craven mentioned something: "I heard that a politician in Mexico who is very tough on traffickers is going to run for office, and their policies may change."

Martin said: "It's useless, as long as Mexico and the United States are next to each other, the problem cannot be solved."

Bruce knows more: "The American market is too big and the profits are too lucrative. Everyone is jealous. Not only gang forces, but also more forces, such as American officials."

Aja asked, "Can't the Mexican authorities deal with the traffickers?"

Craven threw a can of beer by himself: "Wait, the one who is on the stage has settled down, and may declare war on the traffickers."

Martin had the vague impression that the Mexican authorities had lost the monger war.

Bruce answered: "Single traffickers are not scary. Behind them are the CIA, DEA, or other forces in Washington. The Mexican authorities can't handle it."

Martin asked, "I heard the CIA is the biggest dealer in Latin America?"

Craven laughed: "Your news is too late. This is a well-known fact. There must be a lot of big shots in Washington involved in it."

Bruce said: "I heard from several retired friends that Washington will soon become the biggest trafficker in Central Asia."

A Jia suddenly had an idea: "It's okay to make a horror film with the CIA as the background, telling how they tortured and killed opponents?"

Craven said: "As long as you don't blackmail the IRS, you can do anything else. It doesn't matter. The CIA doesn't care."

The prop master passed by, holding several pink water bottles in his hands.

Ajia was very curious: "I heard that you made this thing, Martin, what did you think at that time?"

Martin pointed to the writing on the kettle, and said solemnly: "I think that no matter whose life it is, it can be its own decision!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Ajia glanced at his watch: "It's almost time, ready to shoot."

Martin got up and went to the makeup artist.

When Ajia returned to the set, the three actresses were already sitting at the small table in front of the caravan, with a kettle in front of each of them.

When the filming started, they picked up pink water bottles to drink water.

In the next scene, perverted freaks invade the RV, and Vanessa beats the perverted men with a pink water bottle, smashing one perverted man into a pig's head.

In the end, she was shot dead by a perverted man.

Filming quickly shifted to the car graveyard.

In front of the sliding track laid by the camera, Martin was wearing a sun hat, looking at dozens of rusted and scrapped cars in amazement, opened the nearest car door, and took out a teddy bear toy covered with mud.

On the other side, the actor who appeared as a psychopathic killer was ready to go on stage, and then there was a fight scene with Martin.

Bruce came to the props group and carefully checked the props, knives and guns.

The prop master asked, "Worry about me?"

Bruce is not Martin, he doesn't care about these words, and said: "All the crews use real guns, I must ensure the safety of the employer."

The prop master knew that Martin was one of the three most powerful people on the crew, so he took the initiative to take the gun and let Bruce check it one by one.

Bruce opened the revolver magazine, made sure there were no bullets in it, and asked, "Why not use a prop gun?"

The prop master said: "In the United States and Mexico, real guns are easier to obtain than props, and the cost is lower."

Bruce couldn't help but said, "Fake guns are harder to get than real ones, we're living in shit."

The prop master shrugged: "Just get used to it."

At this time, the characteristic actor came to get the weapon, a revolver, and a prop knife.

Bruce watched the prop master hand over the weapon he had checked to the special actor, and then followed the special actor to the car graveyard.

The shooting of the action scene started, and the shots were broken down one by one, which made the shooting very fragmented.

Often an action is a shot.

In this scene, the hero was attacked by a freak in a car cemetery, was knocked down into a pit, and killed the freak after being injured.

Those scenes where it is dangerous to fall to the bottom of the pit are naturally filmed by stunt doubles.

There are also shots of the hero smashing on the glass of an abandoned car, all using doubles.

Even in some difficult action scenes, unless he showed up, Martin also asked to use a stunt double.

Throw all the weight to others.

However, Martin is very good at being a man. When he returned to the hotel where he was staying at night, he took the initiative to invite a few stunt doubles to have a drink.

He also asked Bruce to purchase some small gifts, which would be given to the stuntmen when they finished their work and left the set.

Those with high pay, like Reeves giving motorcycles, Martin's pay is limited.

After more than half a month of field shooting, the crew finished all the outdoor scenes and moved back to the studio area near the hotel to shoot.

It is also a studio converted from a factory building. The set designer built a labyrinth of caves and valley towns for the final battle between the hero and the freak.

The other actors of the crew returned to the United States after finishing their roles, leaving only Martin and a group of stunt actors who filmed action scenes.

At the same time, the crew of "Summer of Jeans" next door also came to Cabo San Lucas.

The two crews are in sharp contrast, one is almost only men, and the other is full of young and beautiful actresses.

There are two updates today, and the manuscript is being collected.
