Chapter 498 Batman Snow Mountain Temple
"Put everything away and weigh it down with rocks. Don't let the wind blow it away. Pay attention to safety..."
There was chaos on the hillside not far from the ice field. The crew was filming when a sudden strong wind began to blow violently.
The strong wind mixed with rain and snow caused the crew to flip over and make it impossible to shoot.
The weather was still good during the morning shooting, and little Gilbert also asked the local meteorological consultant. The weather consultant said the weather was fine and there would be no problems shooting.
As a result, strong winds began to blow in the afternoon. The first wind blew away the director's booth of Little Gilbert and blew it to an unknown location.
Seeing little Gilbert's questioning look, the weather consultant touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect this to be the case.
Little Gilbert was speechless. The guide said before that the ice sheet would not break, but it broke after filming. Now the weather consultant said the weather was fine, but it turned out to be a strong wind.
The props on the set were flying everywhere. Now when I go back, the cross wind is too strong and the road conditions are not good, so accidents are easy to happen. Little Gilbert ordered the crew to find a place to hide in the wind.
People can hide, but there is no time to move or fix the props. Some light props are blown everywhere by the wind.
A staff member was unlucky, and a flying prop hit him on the head with a clang.
The staff member suddenly screamed and fell down immediately, and the blood floating from his head was blown everywhere by the wind.
Little Gilbert, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and seemed to smell the smell of blood in the air. The scene looked very horrifying.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and save people!" Little Gilbert shouted.
Several field staff rushed over and carried the poor worker back. The doctor on the set quickly checked and bandaged him.
Cameron Diaz went over to take a look. After reading it, he came back and said to little Gilbert: "It should be fine, but I guess I will have to rest for a while."
Little Gilbert was speechless. Injury was the last thing the crew wanted to see. Fortunately, the leading actor was not injured, otherwise things would have been even more difficult.
"I remember a magazine saying that Iceland was the most livable place. If it were livable, I would rather move to the Himalayas," Charles Rowan complained.
"You can't say that. It's actually not bad over there in the city. At least the hot springs are very comfortable." Little Gilbert said something fair.
He then ordered: "Let's see if the wind stops in a while. Let's go back quickly to avoid another accident. In addition, the drama here should end as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome when winter comes."
Charles Rowan agreed: "It has to be, and it's even worse when there's a snowstorm."
Cameron Diaz looked at the thermometer and said: "It's minus ten degrees now, and with the wind blowing, it's estimated that the body temperature will drop by about ten degrees."
"Gift Crab, it's only October, and it's hot in Los Angeles." Charles Rowan had never been to Iceland before, and the weather was a little unbearable for him.
However, working on the crew, especially working with little Gilbert, Charles Rowan still has this awareness.
"Charles, you are getting older, so you need to wear more clothes." Little Gilbert laughed and asked the assistant director to gather the crew together.
The crew's trailer was running to avoid being unable to start due to the cold weather.
Several field staff used power generation trailers to connect a few lines, installed electric heaters, and made coffee and roasting fires to keep warm, etc., which was an urgent need.
When the fire was burning, little Gilbert smacked his lips and said, "It would be better if there was a cake or something to bake at this time."
"Don't worry about the cake, I didn't bring it, but there is bread." Cameron Diaz shared the bread and at the same time told the staff: "Give everyone food and drink, and bear with it for a while.
By the way, if anyone needs it, there are blankets in trailer five, take them out to keep everyone warm. "
The staff nodded and braved the strong wind to inform various staff members.
Little Gilbert took the bread and took a bite as if to vent his anger: "A grilled fish will do, too!"
"There is grilled fish," Cameron Diaz gestured to the ice sheet in the distance: "It's right there, go catch the fish!"
"Yes, remember, I want a big one," echoed Charles Rowan.
"You two, why don't you go by yourself?"
"Because it's windy outside and it's too dangerous." The two said confidently.
When you are bored, making a joke can help relieve loneliness. Work is work, but it is impossible to talk about work all the time in life.
On the other side, several actors in the monastery scene were also eating bread and chatting, and the topic was related to little Gilbert.
Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, and The Kung Fu Emperor Lian Jie Li all collaborated with Gilbert Jr., a famous director, for the first time, and the experiences were all unique.
There are still some details about Lien Kit Lee's participation in this movie, which is a bit twisty.
According to the script at the beginning, the idea of Ninjutsu and the Kagemusha Alliance came from the island nation, and the role of ninja master Lars Al Ghul should be played by an island nation.
In fact, Henry Ducard is the real Lars Al Ghul, and this fake one is just a stand-in.
But before filming began, little Gilbert had an idea. No ninjutsu is as good as Chinese kung fu martial arts. If possible, he would even arrange for Cheng Long or Lien Jie Li to make a guest appearance.
However, this idea was opposed by Warner and DC. Ninjutsu and the Kagemusha Alliance exist in comics. If they were changed to Chinese martial arts, it would appear nondescript.
Little Gilbert still convinced them, mainly based on the rationality of the plot.
If you want ninjutsu, you should go to Tokyo and Mount Fuji. It would seem strange for Bruce Wayne to sit in a Chinese prison and then go to the Himalayas to learn the ninjutsu of an island nation.
Although European and American audiences didn't care about these details, little Gilbert found it strange, so he made these changes and invited Lian Jie Li to show his face.
Anyway, in the comics, Bruce Wayne is not only proficient in ninjutsu, but also other fighting skills. It is not strange to know a little Chinese martial arts.
The actors discussed this matter. Christian Bale had read the original comics and was worried whether such an adaptation would lose comic fans.
Liam Neeson doesn't think so: "I think local adaptation is not a big problem, as long as the core spirit of Batman is not lost."
Lien Kit Li doesn't have many scenes, and he's no better than a supporting actor.
He was not as good at it as Cheng Long in Hollywood. This cooperation with Little Gilbert was an opportunity, so he was very attentive. His performance in several scenes was remarkable.
When the two leading actors were talking, he rarely interrupted and just listened quietly.
Finally, the strong wind stopped, and little Gilbert announced the end of work and hurried back to the hotel to rest. Let’s see what the weather is like tomorrow and come back to shoot.
The next day, the weather was fine, and the sun, which had not been seen for several days, appeared again, and the crew was able to continue working.
This scene is about Bruce Wayne and Henry Ducard's dialogue about fear, anger and determination, and it's all about the performance of these two actors.
The bonfire prepared by the props team in advance was lit, and Christian Bale and Liam Neeson were ready and sat in front of the bonfire.
This is actually a night scene, so the lighting team needed to block the sunlight and provide some artificial light sources.
Little Gilbert stood behind the main camera, and after seeing that the shooting footage met the requirements, he officially started filming the scene.
"Rub your chest hard, your hands can help keep you warm." Henry Ducard added dry wood to the fire and said to Bruce Wayne, who was curled up in a ball: "You are stronger than your father."
Bruce Wayne raised his head and looked at the other person, "You don't know my father."
"But I understand the anger in your heart!"
This is exactly Bruce Wayne's state of mind after his parents were brutally murdered.
“Your anger makes you temporarily forget your pain until you can no longer bear to miss your loved ones and one day you wish they didn’t exist so that your pain would go away.”
Bruce Wayne showed a slightly puzzled look, and Henry Ducard said calmly, "I have not always lived in the mountains. I once had a wife, the love of my life, and she was brutally murdered.
Like you, I have learned not to condone bad people and never show mercy to them. Anger gives you a lot of power. If you can't learn to control it, it will destroy you. Anger almost destroyed my life. "
"How do you deal with anger?" Bruce Wayne asked.
"revenge!"
"That doesn't work for me."
"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Bruce?"
These two sentences show the ideological differences between Bruce Wayne and Henry Ducard, or the Shadow Warriors Alliance, and they will eventually part ways.
"Stop," Little Gilbert stopped the filming and walked over to explain the scene to the two actors. He first told Liam Neeson: "Henry Ducard, your expression is a bit too much."
"You are a firm believer in the beliefs of the Kagemusha Alliance. You firmly believe that evil must be eliminated and a new order be established on the ruins. You firmly believe in this."
Then little Gilbert said to Christian Bale: "Bruce, do you know what the acting you just did is called? It's called wooden man acting."
When Liam Neeson heard this new term, he couldn't help laughing out loud. He saw little Gilbert and Christian Bale looking over at the same time and apologizing again and again: "Sorry, please continue."
Little Gilbert continued: "Bruce Wayne, remember, you have no superpowers, only money powers. You are a person who has stepped down from the altar, and you have human feelings. You must express these."
"Sorry, director, I understand." Christian Bale nodded.
"I'll give you ten minutes to think about it..." Little Gilbert said and returned behind the camera.
After little Gilbert finished talking about the scene, the two actors who were filming the scene again improved significantly, and the scene ended smoothly.
There is no problem with Christie Bell's acting skills. As long as little Gilbert communicates with him and gives guidance, there won't be a big problem.
