Chatty Hollywood

When the afternoon or evening shooting begins, most of the crew knows what the director did at noon. ?With {梦}小◢.1a

However, no one said anything.

No way, this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood——

The heroes and heroines of the movie often break out of control when filming. As the bosses behind the scenes, the trailers of directors, producers and photographers are also the "hardest-hit areas" where "local earthquakes" often occur.

——They need to be “public relations”!

Although Charlotte has always refused to be "public relations", recently, he and Charlize have been in and out of each other on the set, and they have spread a lot of dog food.

——Don’t talk about it, every time the two of them go to the depths of the desert to “sandboard”, there will always be some changes in the girl’s dress when they come back. What happened during this period...

We are not children!

So, it’s normal for trailers to vibrate today.

The focus of the entire "Mummy" crew is still on the filming of the movie. What was discussed more was the magical mirage in the morning.

Unlike Charlize, who knew the inside story, the rest of the crew were shocked by Charlotte's performance, which can be said to be "knowledge of astronomy and geography".

Even though Charlotte announced that this was a secret scenery obtained after asking local natives, everyone still cast their admiring eyes on the director who led everyone to witness the miraculous moment.

As a result, Charlotte's prestige among the crew was further strengthened.

——Although senior members of the Spectre studio, such as Lao Qiang, also know about spell-related matters. But after all, they never expected that Charlotte would be able to "move the wind and rain".

Even because of this, their awe for Charlotte became even deeper.

In short, this increase in prestige has made Charlotte more capable of commanding the entire "Mummy" crew.

This greatly improved the shooting progress.

Under this circumstance, as the representative of Universal as an investor, Sean Daniel no longer always acts like others owe him money.

He even pestered Charlotte and kept asking her if she could take pictures of other wonders in the desert and put them in the movie.

——There is no way, the previous mirage was too shocking.

Compared with the mirages synthesized by special effects in most movies, the mirage shot by the crew of "The Mummy" has a vast and majestic feeling that is simply overwhelming.

It's fine on a small screen, but on a big screen——

Anyway, Sean Daniel feels that just seeing such a shocking mirage scene is worth the ticket price of the movie.

In particular, as a photographer, Addison Young was notified by Charlotte in advance and specially used a dim filter that can better highlight the vast feeling of the mirage...

So much so that when Sean Daniel saw the original dailies, he even came up with the idea that this footage should never be cut.

Of course, this possibility is too small.

——"The Mummy" is, after all, a fantasy comedy, not a documentary focusing on natural scenery.

But as a result, Sean Daniel, who became a staunch live-action shooter, started thinking about other wonders in the desert.

For example, a sandstorm——

"Don't you think that in the second half of the script, after the OSS Immorton completely recovered his human form, he summoned a sandstorm to swallow up the plane of O'Connor and others who came to rescue Evelin. If we shot a real sandstorm in real action, it would be very interesting. Shocking?"

Sean Daniel tried his best to encourage Charlotte.

To this, the director’s answer was——

"Don't you think that would be dangerous?"

Charlotte is very direct and authentic;

"Sandstorms are even more dangerous than tornadoes. If we go to take pictures of that thing, we will be buried alive if we are not careful - in that case, we will soon become dehydrated and turn into real mummies.

"

"this……"

Sean Daniel knew Charlotte was right.

Although the crew made special preparations to deal with sandstorms on location, the only ones that could be dealt with were smaller sandstorms.

If you encounter a big sandstorm, the best way is still to run away as soon as possible.

Or to be more precise, the crew's preparations and the well-sealed trailer can allow the crew's actors to survive a large sandstorm of normal size, but it is difficult for the crew's various equipment and equipment to survive unharmed.

Therefore, when faced with a major sandstorm, the best way is to avoid it in advance.

Of course, the reason why the crew of "The Mummy" chose the location in the desert not far from Chefchaouen is because the climate and environment here are pretty good.

Normally, natural phenomena like large sandstorms, which would cause huge economic losses to the crew, would not occur here.

Therefore, the natural wonders that Sean Daniel expected may not be possible.

——Under purely natural conditions.

But now, after listening to Sean Daniel's advice, Charlotte had an idea——

He might be able to make use of the sandstorm...

However, no matter how they plan to take advantage of the sandstorms in the Moroccan desert, the crew of "The Mummy" will not stop filming on location.

Because most of the shots of underground exploration do not require outdoor scenes, but instead contain many fantasy elements, Charlotte plans to set up a studio to shoot this part after returning to London.

——Some of this still requires the use of green screen photography.

At the location near Chefchaouen, most of what the "Mummy" crew needed to shoot were scenes in the desert.

This part of the scene is mainly action scenes. Although it is hard to shoot, most of them are not difficult.

However, it is also this part that best expresses the magnificent scenery of the desert.

As for the urban shots of Cairo in the early 20th century, the crew built another location near Casablanca.

There, a series of scenes will be filmed in which Immorton leads the Egyptians infected by him to hunt down O'Connor and Evelyn.

Now, Lao Qiang is directing some staff members to build this location.

As for the shots on location near Chefchaouen, they were shot very quickly——

"Pack up all the equipment and let's leave here tomorrow morning!"

After the morning's shooting, Charlotte gave instructions to the crew.

Sean Daniel on the other side asked a question,

"So, Charlotte, should we take the opportunity to dismantle some of the exterior sets we built here? The Moroccan government doesn't want us to leave some filming garbage and affect their income from desert tourism."

"Well... let's wait until we finish packing all the equipment!"

Charlotte looked at the weather vane on the top of the nearby RV that was being blown more and more violently by the wind, and suddenly smiled and said to Sean Daniel,

"Sean, look at what you mean, we may really encounter the sandstorm you are looking forward to. Do you still want to shoot?"
