After Hayden drove the taxi to the trailer and made sure that there was no problem with the camera fixed inside the car, he walked out and gestured "OK" to Lance, and Lance gestured to Tom. waved, "Come on, it's our turn!"

Tom took a closer look, and found that cameras were installed in the corners around the four doors of the taxi, plus the two cameras installed in the cabin, which made him stunned, "The next scene will be a real gun." Live ammunition?"

Generally speaking, the shooting scenes of vehicles driving on the road will be divided into two parts. The first part is the real road, including some stunts; the second part is the dialogue part in the car, and the vehicle will be put on the trailer. , Use the trailer to control the direction of the vehicle, which is convenient for the actors to perform and avoid traffic accidents caused by distraction.

During the filming of "Murder with a Borrowed Knife", Lance used very special lenses. In addition to the traditional two-part shooting, he also used the first time to shoot. To put it simply, it is to put the camera on the car, let the car really go on the road, and then record the scenes of galloping on the road and stunt chasing from the first perspective of the car.

The camera placed outside the car door is suitable for the third shooting method.

Lance glanced at the camera hanging outside the car door and waved his hand, "The filming has just been completed."

After finishing the shooting of the scene of Mark and Michael just now, taking advantage of the time when Tom was making final adjustments in the RV, Lance took the camera crew to the road and ran three laps around the route of the next scene, taking the time needed outside the car The footage used was recorded, and then a camera will be placed directly in front of the trailer to take some additional shots, which is enough. Now the camera is still hanging outside the car door, mainly because after the scene in the car is over, there will be scenes on the road - the traffic police will stop the taxi, so in order to avoid the trouble of relocating the camera, That's why it wasn't removed.

After speaking, Lance opened the driver's door, sat behind the steering wheel, and began to prepare for the shooting of the scene. Tom stood where he was, let out a long breath, clenched his fists secretly, as if to cheer himself up, and then opened the car door and sat in the back row.

Hayden walked to the front of the car, stepped back with the camera on his shoulders, and then raised his voice and said, "Close your eyes, let's adjust the lights." Both Tom and Lance closed their eyes, and then felt a burst of hot light Passing over his shoulders, the warm halo avoided adjusting little by little, and after about a minute, Hayden's voice came, "It's ok."

Open your eyes, a beam of hazy halo is parallel to the position of the eyes, passing through the center, the light is not dazzling, but has a hazy warm tone, as if there are bright spots of light jumping around, the light The golden halo dazzled all the surrounding scenery.

The light beam seemed a little weak, only the thickness of a wrist, and the golden dust surrounding it was like fireflies on a summer night, flying and dancing around the light source, and then gradually dissipated in the darkness. When it reached the window of the taxi, there was only a ray of light left in the light beam, as if separating the taxi into an isolated island, floating erratically on the surface of the pitch-black sea.

Tom adjusted his position slightly, making sure that most of the left side of his face was exposed to the light, while the right half of his face was gradually hidden in shadow. It is not correct to say that it is a shadow, but it is still bright, it is just an optical illusion caused by the intensity of the light, as if the whole person is hidden.

Before Tom finished adjusting, Hayden raised his voice again and said, "Wait, let's adjust the lights again." Then, a faint light came on the roof of the car, and Tom raised his head involuntarily, and then looked at On the roof of the car, a Christmas tree-like equivalent was installed, with thirty or forty light bulbs of different sizes hanging on it, which surprised Tom.

"Won't this interfere with the picture?" Tom looked at Lance stutteringly with a look of astonishment.

Although during the five days of filming, Tom already knew that this work had very strict lighting requirements. Lance, the photography team, and the lighting team have been trying to find the most suitable light. Lance's harsh demands tortured him to death; but the sight in front of him still stunned Tom.

"No." Lance's answer was very simple. After many experiments, the light bulbs are very small, and the lens only needs to be turned down a little bit to capture them, and it will not cause any impact.

These bulbs are all connected to the dimmer that can be controlled wirelessly in the car. In this way, the light group only needs to control the switch to adjust the intensity of the light. Lighting for every scene. In fact, in addition to the light bracket, they placed small light tubes on the windshield, instrument panel area and other places, just to meet Lance's strict requirements for lighting.

Then Tom stared dumbfounded at the lights above his head, which were unpredictable like neon lights. The soft light yellow was mixed with some cyan halos, creating a beautiful visual effect, which completely blew Tom away. shocked.

There was a crisp snap of fingers, and Tom shifted his attention from the light to Lance, "My rhythm will be a little chaotic in the next scene, don't be disturbed by me, hold on That kind of calm and calm rhythm, when Rwanda is mentioned, your emotions can fluctuate." In fact, these details are more of the actor's self-understanding, and everyone will find a suitable performance method to interpret, but after the previous After five days of filming, Lance understood that Tom needed a guide, at least a guide in direction, so that he would not deviate from the track, "You noticed that the light will make the expression more delicate, you can use the light and dark Change to control the rhythm of your performance."

This scene is very special. Max lost control of his emotions because he witnessed the murder scene, like a runaway wild horse. All seem chaotic, which also makes Max unconsciously confront Vincent - out of survival instincts/instincts and moral instincts/instincts.

For Vincent, he doesn't want extra complications, and tries to use a taxi driver for the whole process to avoid expanding the influence, so he needs to control Max. But it was obviously not an easy task. Under Max's reckless beating, Vincent's mood fluctuated for the first time.

In other words, this is Tom's first performance platform in "Murder with a Borrowed Knife". It is a scene to watch if it is a mule or a horse.

After explaining, Lance looked at Tom's expression and smiled, "Don't worry, you can do it." Tom nodded indiscriminately, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, entering a state of self-preparation. Lance touched a soft nail and didn't mind, he turned his head and gestured "OK" in Percy's direction.

Immediately afterwards, Albert began to mobilize, and the entire crew was ready to go.

"What are you doing?" Vincent raised his head and watched Max's restless movements. The vehicles behind him had already started honking their horns. When he looked up, the red light had turned into a green light, but they were still stuck at the intersection. , did not start.

Max looked at the messy "dinner" on the passenger seat in a panic—because of the death just now, his sandwiches had been completely scattered, making the cabin extremely dirty. He tried to clean up with trembling hands, but looked around in a daze, as if he had lost even the instinct/instinct to clean up, "It's a mess here, I have to clean it up."

"So? Ms. Macbeth! The light is green, and we're still here!" Vincent raised his right hand and pointed to the traffic light ahead, frowning slightly and glaring at Max. "Forget about the passenger seat."

Max only felt as if his chest was blocked. He tried to breathe, but he couldn't pant at all. He looked out the window blankly, and just relied on Ben/Ability to release the handbrake, allowing the car to run again. The driver who had finished overtaking outside the car window yelled at him. Max raised his head and looked around in a panic, as if he couldn't detect the source of the sound at all. There was an inexplicable ripple in the gaze behind the lens, as if the whole world was turning upside down.

Vincent sat in the rear driver's seat, turned his head and looked over, opened his mouth and moved his jaw, his eyes radiated a frightening light, making one believe that if he was not sitting in a taxi at this time Well, the driver in that car is already a dead man.

But Max didn't react at all, he just turned his head and looked straight ahead without focus, trying to find the target restlessly, but he didn't know what he was looking for. "Your business is no longer the cleanest." Vincent's voice came from behind. He looked up at Max and curled his lips in disdain. "Accept the reality and concentrate on driving."

Business, this word seems to have a lot of meaning.

Max just swallowed his saliva, but his throat was still so dry that he couldn't speak, and he looked at the road ahead helplessly; his hands held the steering wheel tightly for a while, as if he wanted to absorb energy from a hard object Usually, he would feel uneasy for a while to check the radio or the handbrake or the dashboard, but then he found that there was nothing to check, so he put his hands on the steering wheel again, but his eyes still kept checking around, as if everything Everything is wrong. Until Vincent's voice came again, "Fountain Street Seven Five Six Five, do you know where it is?"

"West Hollywood." Max replied reflexively, but his eyes did not have any consciousness at all. After the words were spoken, he realized where he was. Vincent said an address again, which means ...

"How many minutes did you say it would be here?"

Vincent's words made Max seem to be stung, and blurted out, "I don't know!" But the surging fear forced him to find a word to perfuse the other party, "Seventeen minutes?" After saying it , Max was so depressed that he retched a bit, because he actually told the truth, this... Lifting his eyes, Max glanced at Vincent, but as if he had touched a flame, he quickly retracted, " Why?" Vincent suddenly froze... This means that they are driving to kill the second person?
