This is the scene where Willie Lopez, the anti-number two who killed Sam, was frightened by Sam's ghost and was accidentally killed in the street after escaping from the Alderme apartment in a panic.
For such a small role, of course, Eric couldn't bother to find the original actor, but a Latino actor in his thirties named Philip Read selected by the casting director.
The scene of Willy being hit by a truck is also quite dangerous. Therefore, although Philip Reed is only a small character, he still needs to be promoted. Otherwise, in case Philip Reed is accidentally injured, the crew can only temporarily Changed actors.
"Stan, are you ready?" Eric stepped forward and asked.
"Of course, I promise there won't be any problems. Get ready to start shooting," Stan Winston made a ready gesture. Eric went back behind the monitor and checked the surroundings again, after confirming that there would be no problems. , just started shouting.
A red car and another truck drive towards each other. In the shot, Willy played by Philip Reed looks terrified, but forgets to dodge. In another surveillance shot, two cars collide with each other with a bang. Together.
"Good, one is over, the special effects crew is ready, hey, you two, go and help Mr. Reed aside to rest," Eric said with a sigh of relief, and said, there was no accident, it's good.
And Philip Reid, who was standing next to the two colliding cars, was already frightened and softened at this time, and was helped down by two staff members. There will be no danger at all, but seeing the collision of two cars beside me, I will inevitably feel timid in my heart. But it is really impossible to use a stand-in for this frontal lens.
Wait for Philip Read to leave. After simple preparation. A stuntman dressed exactly like Philip Reed came out and stood between the two cars with a steel wire hanging from his body, preparing to shoot the shot of Willie being knocked into the air.
This shot is quite difficult. In order to avoid being exposed, the stunt personnel must land face down after flying, so the stunt personnel still wear protective gear on their faces.
Although responsible for the stunt is Stan. Winston studio experienced stunt personnel. But it took seven or eight times to pass this shot, and the stunt personnel also endured seven or eight consecutive falls. After all, it is not easy to land on the face accurately.
After completing these two shots, the next shooting went much smoother, including the shot where Willy's soul is dragged away by the Grim Reaper, which was actually just the screaming Willy from the Grim Reapers in blue tights that had just been prepared. Li dragged to the corner. In the later stage, these people will be processed into the desired image of death through computer special effects.
Although these shots are very simple to say. However, after some shooting. Before I knew it, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning. After the crew finished work, it was past twelve thirty in the morning when Eric returned to the hotel where the crew was located.
"Eric, I asked the kitchen to prepare supper," Joanna Pakula, who was sitting in the living room watching TV boredly, stood up and said just after taking a shower.
Eric stepped forward and kissed the girl's face: "Didn't I say that if we finish work too late, you should rest first."
The girl took the towel in Eric's hand, carefully helped the man wipe his wet hair, and said, "It's okay, didn't you let me be your life assistant, of course I will do this job well."
Eric smirked and hugged the girl's waist: "So obedient, are you willing to do anything I ask you?"
Joanna Pakula struggled slightly, but she didn't break free from the man's shackles, and soon softened, but she didn't answer Eric's question just now, she just put all the towels in her hand aside, and complained: "I'm busy All day long, let's message early after eating supper, anyway...there will be plenty of time in the future."
"Then you stay here tonight, I want to hold you to sleep," Eric said softly, sniffing the girl's long hair.
"Okay, oh, don't touch it, the supper will be cold in a while, eat it quickly."
After being intimate for a while, Eric walked to the dining table, eating supper, chatting with the girl who was leaning on the sofa and looking this way from time to time.
After that day, Eric forcefully brought the girl to New York, and Joanna Pakula did not resist. After getting along these days, she also developed a slight sense of dependence on Eric.
It took two full weeks to shoot the scenes related to the special effects of "Ghost Love" before it was all over. After detailed review and confirmation, Eric handed over the samples to Stan Winston and others to bring them to Los Angeles. do later.
Because the special effects used in "Ghost Love" are relatively simple, and there are not too many special effects shots. Many shots can even be completed with only the most primitive film overlapping techniques.
Therefore, even if Eric has high requirements for some effects, the post-processing will not take more than a month, and can be completed by the end of May at most. At that time, with Eric's filming speed, the entire movie is close Not far away.
After the completion of the special effects part, the time has entered May, and gradually people began to visit the crew. What Eric did not expect was that Trump and his daughter first came to the crew. Donald Trump brought his daughter Ivanka Trump.
It was noon, and the crew blocked off a not-too-busy street in Manhattan to film several exterior scenes before and after Sam took Oddmi to the bank to withdraw money.
"Eric, I'm so sorry, I couldn't help you with that matter a while ago," Donald Trump said apologetically when he saw Eric.
Eric smiled, and Donald Trump really couldn't be of much help in that matter: "It's okay, Donald, by the way, how are things on your side?"
Hearing this question, Donald Trump showed a slight smile: "It's okay, I finally got through it. Thanks to your reminder at the beginning, after spending some effort, the bank had to agree to continue lending to me. Now the resort It's all built, some are already in use, and at least I won't be broke again."
After Donald Trump finished speaking, he pulled a card out of his pocket and handed it to Eric: "This is the membership card of my resort. Of course, this is the highest level. You can go to Atlantic City to see it when you have time." look."
Eric took the membership card over with a smile, recalled it, and then remembered that Atlantic City should be in New Jersey, and he had never been there. Some time ago, he happened to see Michael Jackson attending the Trump Resort on the entertainment news. Opening news.
"I'll take a look if I'm free," Eric said, looking at the little loli who was curiously walking around with a puppet in his arms: "Yi Ni, why didn't you say hello when you saw me? You look sullen, did someone bully you?" (To be continued...)
