Chapter 690: Real-life hospital explosion scene

After filming a large number of clown scenes, Heath Ledger can take a break for the time being.

His girlfriend and daughter were with him on the set. Obviously, little Gilbert thought it was useful for Heath Ledger to be a necessary companion.

Little Gilbert also made an excuse for Heath Ledger to go to the Landrini-Jobs Medical Center in Chicago for treatment. The reason was that playing the Joker might cause psychological trauma, so he needed to go and see it.

Heath Ledger was not happy at first, but after going there a few times, he found that the pain in his head without taking sedatives and painkillers was greatly reduced, and then he became less resistant.

Of course, for complete treatment, Heath Ledger must first quit these drugs. He has to rely on himself, and the doctor can't help him.

The next filming work of the crew is mainly focused on action scenes, and Christian Bale's doubles are still the same two from the previous film.

Both of these action stunt doubles are similar in stature to Christian Bale. More importantly, they can imitate Christian Bale's movements and gaits with perfect accuracy.

However, action doubles will only be used in high-risk action scenes. In other ordinary action scenes, Christie Bell requires herself to do it.

Especially when it comes to driving the Batmobile, I insist on doing it myself. There are not many opportunities to drive the Batmobile on the road.

Little Gilbert has always been a director who likes real-life shooting. Now, although digital technology and green screen technology have reached a certain level, he can participate in film shooting.

But in terms of texture, real shots are more realistic.

Most of the shots in "Avatar" were shot with digital technology and green screen technology. But that’s a story that takes place on the planet Pandora, and bright colors can be used to cover up the shortcomings of green screen technology.

But "The Dark Knight" is a film based on a realist context. What Gilbert wants to achieve is to be real and make the audience believe that there is such a real Gotham City.

First of all, "The Dark Knight" is a big game for the audience.

Two hundred meters from the door of an abandoned hospital in Billings, Montana, local state legislator Peter Rock was talking to little Gilbert.

Little Gilbert expressed his gratitude to him: "Thank you, Mr. Roque, without your help, we still don't know how to get the filming permit."

"This is me It's such an honor, Gilbert, I've always been a huge fan of the Batman franchise," said Peter Rock.

To express his gratitude, Gilbert Jr. invited Peter Rock to play a role in "The Dark Knight."

He is the old man sitting in the police office throwing paper balls at the beginning of the film, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of this loyal fan.

Peter Rock also said: "If there is anything else you need my help with, just ask."

Little Gilbert thought for a while and said: "I hope you can come to the premiere of "The Dark Knight" next year. Come and participate."

Peter Rock asked for it: "Of course..."

This is also a publicity stunt, and neither party has any reason to refuse.

Guo Fan followed the director team to do on-site scheduling work. He knew that the hospital would be bombed today. But seeing how big the hospital was, he thought it would just blow up a building.

"James, which building should we blow up today?"

"Which building should we blow up? Let's blow them all up."

"Blow them all up?" Guo Fan suspected that he heard wrongly: "Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

James said You looked like you didn't know anything: "No, our director's filming is real. Man, just watch it carefully, it will be absolutely shocking."

Over there, little Gilbert also communicated with Heath Ledger: "You Have you done a lot of explosion scenes before?”

"Not much," Heath Ledger shook his head: "Not even taken."

"It doesn't matter," little Gilbert warned: "When it explodes, your body may control it." Constant trembling, huge explosions will make noise, need to pay attention."

Heath Ledger showed a strange smile on his face wearing clown makeup: "Don't worry, we have rehearsed many times before, there will be no problem."

"OK," little Gilbert nodded, and then told pyrotechnics stunt director Tony Ridley: "Tony, Remember to cooperate with the clown's actions, the explosion will not happen at once."

Tony Ridley made an OK gesture to express his understanding.

After the safety officials of the crew completed the inspection, the scene was officially ready to be filmed. "Everyone, except essential personnel, evacuate five hundred meters away to prevent unexpected situations." James and Guo Fan shouted with loudspeakers.

Final preparations were being made at the scene. Little Gilbert stood at the scene to see the final explosion effect and waited for reports from each group.

“The props team is ready.”

“The costumes and makeup are all fine.”

"The lighting and photography are ready."

"The aerial photography team has taken off."

"The fireworks and explosion team is ready!"

"The notes are ready to be recorded."< br>
“Chapter 121 of The Dark Knight, the first scene, the start of the pig-meat fight.”

Little Gilbert held up a loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone is ready. 1, 2, 3, action..."

The No. 1 main camera is controlled by John Schwartzman and is a heavy camera. IMAX camera.

You can see from the camera footage that the Joker played by Heath Ledger jumped out of the hospital. Explosions continued to occur in the hospital behind him, but not all of them exploded.

The people in the school bus made frightened sounds when they saw the clown, as if they had seen something terrible.

The hospital stopped exploding in the middle of the explosion. The clown pressed the remote control a few times, then spread his hands and looked back at the hospital, still wondering what was going on. As a result, there was a more violent explosion. The clown immediately threw away the remote control, got on the school bus, took the hostages and fled the scene.

Guo Fan, who was hiding in the distance, was completely dumbfounded. From the beginning of the explosion, he stared at the abandoned hospital until the explosion razed the abandoned hospital to the ground.

It’s terrible, it’s terrible, it’s terrible.

Guo Fan repeated this three times in his mind. He looked at little Gilbert who was observing the explosion not far away. There was a sense of excitement in little Gilbert's eyes.

Guo Fan felt that little Gilbert must be a pervert, otherwise could a normal person do such a thing?

Although it was far away, the sound of the explosion was shocking enough. Not to mention Guo Fan, Montana State Representative Peter Rock was dumbfounded.

"God, God, this is crazy," Peter Rock muttered.

It turns out that someone actually blew up a hospital during filming. Although it is abandoned, it is still amazing.

Little Gilbert had no time to marvel. He quickly checked with several cameras to confirm the picture effect: "How is the shooting effect?"

"Camera No. 1 reports, perfect."

“Report from No. 2, perfect.”

"The report from No. 3 is perfect."

"The aerial photography team reported that the high-altitude shooting explosion was perfect."

"Very good, congratulations, guys, you succeeded in the first try." "Little Gilbert laughed.

Everyone cheered. If the picture performance is not good, there will be no next hospital for them to blow up, so it is best to pass it in one go.

Heath Ledger was shaking a little when he came down. This was his first time filming such a scene.

But just now he used extremely strong control to complete the entire performance and did not let the scene collapse on him. Obviously, his performance was quite good.

Little Gilbert patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest!"

Heath Ledger didn't want to talk much, so he quickly got into the nanny car and went back to rest.
