Chapter 854 The feeling of the ending must be correct

In Hollywood-style superhero movies, big action scenes no longer simply have the iconic meaning of commercial blockbusters, but also have the special function of upgrading the experience of violent aesthetics, panoramic scene descriptions and ultra-delicate action depictions, plus The texture of the IMAX screen and the fully immersive viewing experience are the inevitable pursuit of Duke when shooting and producing.

In order to pursue a real movie-watching experience, Duke did not leave all the big scenes to post-production special effects, and many action scenes will also be shot in real ways.

Except for special effects scenes, Duke generally does not personally make storyboards for each scene, but in those action special effects scenes, storyboards and preview animations are made for each sub-shot.

In terms of special effects, Duke has never rejected CGI computer technology, let alone uphold the so-called concept that physical realization can surpass everything. Synthesizing and upgrading with CG technology can also achieve better results.

Back in Los Angeles, Duke led the crew to live in the Raiders' Lauder Stadium and gathered nearly 20,000 fans as extras. A large number of actors, a whole stunt double team and an on-site blasting team were needed here.

Filmed here is a scene that took place in an American football stadium, where the Gotham Rascals were playing, and Bane activated bombs located throughout Gotham City, several of which were planted under the field, and the powder detonated Afterwards, the stadium and many players were involved in a huge void.

Naturally, IMAX cameras were used for shooting, but the scale of the explosion is extremely limited, and the stadium will not collapse. All explosion effects basically rely on post-production synthesis. The visual effects artists of Industrial Light and Magic also used CG to create the collapsed stadium foreground elements. When Duke is done filming, Joss Williams' pyrotechnics will be enhanced and the terrified audience will grow from nearly 20,000 to more than 80,000.

While Duke was busy filming, Warner Bros. did not relax in promoting The Dark Knight Rises.

Harvey Dent may have died in The Dark Knight, but unlike Joker, his name will live on in The Dark Knight Rises...

There is always news about The Dark Knight Rises on the Internet and the media.

Movie fans who have been paying attention to the Internet will soon be on the official website of The Dark Knight Rises and other popular websites. Found some new news - a press release from Gotham Mayor Anthony Garcia.

This morning, Mayor Anthony Garcia signed the 'Action Dante' bill, unanimously passed by the city council, which has introduced legislation to improve the city's fight against organized crime. One of the main purposes of creating this action was to make tougher penalties Crime, including those who play a significant role in a large crime syndicate, will be denied parole and this will close the loopholes in previously created laws so cities don't have to be plagued by organized crime like they used to be.

Later there was a speech by Gotham Mayor Anthony Garcia.

Harvey Dent's name is a true hero. We should honor his sacrifice by taking on the streets of a criminal empire and saving our city with his courage.

Fifteen minutes ago, I signed a bill called 'Action Dent' that would allow us to make up for Harvey Dent's departure. This legislation was delegated to Police Commissioner Jim Gordon. As the final Combating what is needed to deal with the crime and corruption that still thrives in our cities.

My answer to those who claim this bill creates a police state is very simple. Before 'Operation Dent' our city was so hopeless that we had to put our trust. A masked vigilante who ended up murdering someone who belonged to Gotham City's true hope. Fortunately, hope lives on. This bill is Harvey Dent's legacy and I want to protect it.

There is also another message.

At the Mayor's request, the City Council will introduce another bill to make the day of Harvey Dent's sacrifice an official city public holiday called 'Harvey Dent Day.'

no doubt. This is Warner Bros. viral marketing.

Under the eyes of the fans, Duke returned to the studio and began to shoot some more difficult action scenes in front of the re-built green screen, such as the shots about the Bat fighter.

All shots of the Batfighter will be shot in front of the green screen, and then composited into the real footage through CGI.

The shots of the bat fighter can be mainly divided into two parts: ground and high altitude.

This fighter was installed by Duke on a locomotive equipped with a universal head when shooting ground action shots; when performing high-altitude stunts, several heavy-duty booms were used to hang in the air for shooting.

In order to fully capture every action of the high dynamic range of the Batfighter on-site, Duke also asked Industrial Light and Magic to develop a panoramic special photography system, which uses four digital SLR cameras equipped with 8MM lenses to create a field of view Overlapping effect, the obtained panoramic images can be collaged and combined through digital technology.

According to the cooperation practice between Duke and John Schwartzman, John Schwartzman should be the only main camera crew in the film, but in many scenes, the auxiliary camera and Steadicam operator Ben Scott was also instrumental, and auxiliary camera material was heavily used in the shooting of these scenes.

In addition to the complex shooting, Duke also decided to place more scenes in the film during the day, unlike The Dark Knight, which is almost entirely set in night as the background picture.

In Duke's plan, the nighttime exterior scenes of Gotham City were mainly shot in New York and Pittsburgh. As early as in the preparatory period, John Schwartzman took many photos according to the exposure required by Duke, and then After writing notes on each photo, it was sent to the equipment lighting engineer equipped by the crew for each city.

Equipment gaffers can use the spectrometer to ensure that the background locations that need to be lit are properly arranged after returning to the location.

In this way, when Duke led the crew to the shooting scene, the background lighting had already been arranged, and more time was spent on shooting.

The time is slowly approaching in December, and the release of the film is getting closer and closer. In addition to the busy shooting, Duke also began to cooperate with Warner Bros. in the promotional work. An exclusive interview about him appeared in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly above.

The Dark Knight Rises is being filmed, and director Duke Rosenberg also talked about his feelings about the end of the Batman trilogy in an interview, about the choice of the villain Bane and other behind-the-scenes content.

Duke Rosenberg, speaking of his last Batman movie, said: 'I try to be less emotional on set. Because it's not good for my job. But you do listen I heard a little voice saying to myself - well, this is the last time we'll do this.

This whole process is like a journey, and it's really emotional when a character says goodbye to them after filming. Marvel will say to them: goodbye, old butler Alfred; goodbye, police chief Jim? Den...it meant so much to me, a very emotional moment.

When the reporter asked Duke, after Heath Ledger played such an excellent villain clown, how did he think of setting Bane the Destroyer as the villain of this film? Duke replied: Originally I I don’t know much about the character of Bain. The editorial team of the Duke Studio gave me a bunch of Bain’s materials, and we studied him together. I’m not very familiar with the story behind him, but this is a very cool one. Role.

For the character of Bane, whose developed body is the hallmark, you have to have an archetype to make a 'good' villain, you know, you need an extreme of a certain type of villain. The Joker is obviously a very Unique archetype: demonic, anarchic, with a wicked sense of humor; I wanted to make Bane a completely different type in the movie this time, Bane is first and foremost a muscular villain, somehow He’s literally a screen monster from a classic movie—but with a really smart brain, and I think audiences will have a blast seeing what we can do with Bane.”

When you get an actor like Dwayne Johnson to play Bane, you know you're going to see something special. Like any great actor, Dwayne is one of those people who can bring the character's idiosyncrasies to his performance in one fell swoop. A performer who moves and smiles, he is a very, very good actor with his body.

Dawn will transform himself into the character at every moment. He not only dares to get close to the character from the external image, but also dares to go deep into the heart of the character; To convey the character has a very, very clear consciousness, of course Bell is also such a very emotional actor.

When it comes to the end of the film, Duke? Rosenberg said: At the end of The Dark Knight, Batman and Police Chief Jim Gordon have made significant sacrifices and compromises. By the end of the film, that sacrifice has to pay off, Gotham should be better in a sense, and at the end of the film they have to accomplish something - so I want the end of the film to feel right of.

Not only in North America, but in other important markets, Warner Bros.' promotion of The Dark Knight Rises is in progress.

Although Duke's last film The Avengers did not obtain the key to delay in the Chinese market, it also won a box office of 1.856 billion RMB in a one-month screening. The weight in the minds of Hollywood companies.

Limited to the regulations of the scissors, Warner Greater China was unable to make too much advance publicity, but still formulated some targeted strategies. (to be continued ^)
