Chapter 425 Martin Goes Crazy
Chapter 425 Martin Goes Crazy
On the streets of New York, a sled car equipped with a camera was speeding and passed by a galloping Cadillac. The high-speed camera accurately captured the scene of Martin operating the car through the lowered window.
The Cadillac, which was not actually going very fast, braked to a stop, and a photographer carrying a camera got on the passenger seat of Martin's car.
Martin started the car again and performed all kinds of dazzling car control movements.
After the pursuing vehicle caught up with him, he pulled out a pistol from under his armpit and fired at the rear.
The car was not going very fast, so Martin found it easy to operate.
The pistol soon ran out of bullets and the car behind it collided and overturned.
Martin ejected the empty magazine with one hand, replaced it with a new one, and continued driving and shooting.
The style of action shots shot by Chad is different from those shot by Michael Bay and others.
The latter uses a large number of intensive ultra-short shot editing, giving people a particularly sharp visual impact.
Chad tried to use long lenses to create a sense of realism.
After the long shot of the car was finished, Martin opened the door and got out, handed the pistol to Bruce, and ran to Chad to see the effect of the shooting.
The camera is always moving, but unlike the pure handheld shots in "The Bourne Supremacy" that are constantly shaking and trembling, the shots shot by the camera mounted on the Steadicam move more smoothly.
Wide-angle lenses, vivid and soft lighting, combined with smooth camera movements, create a unique style.
The constantly shaking camera of "The Bourne Supremacy" gives people an immersive first-person perspective.
The footage shot by Chad is like that of an advanced observer.
As a director who started out as a stuntman, Chad designed a narrative method that uses fighting scenes to advance the plot, combining martial arts with literature.
He originally planned to abandon flashy fast editing and use wide-angle shots and long shots to show every exciting fight scene.
Because the style of "John Wick" looks very realistic at first glance, but in fact it is just an action spectacle disguised as realism.
As the male protagonist, Martin has to kill hundreds of killers in the first part!
A conservative estimate is over 150 people.
To a certain extent, the male protagonist Jonathan is the video game character controlled by the audience, fighting his way through the levels, and finally killing the BOSS and completing his mission.
This is very dependent on Martin's movement completion.
Even the use of stunt doubles is relatively rare, and many difficult actions need to be performed by him personally.
After a long period of filming, Martin inevitably had bruises all over his body, and he suffered from minor injuries and pains all the time.
Fortunately, he found a good way to relieve the pain - massage.
The person who provided Martin with the massage was named Alexandra Daddario.
As the crew worked, Alexandra used her hands to help Martin massage.
When you finish work and return to the hotel or apartment, you will heal your wounds with softness and passion under Martin's guidance.
Martin returned to the rest area to sit down and rest, and then his stunt double Buck came on stage to perform a series of car racing scenes.
The crew closed off an entire street in New York for filming.
Compared to the filming of Limitless in New York, the New York City government provided much more convenience this time.
It's a great bargain for a heroine who only lives in the hero's memory to get so much bargain.
"Would you like some water?" Alexandra put the sippy cup on the small table next to Martin.
Martin nodded: "Thank you."
Chad's roars could be heard from the front. The crew needed to shoot as quickly as possible and evacuate the streets before the evening rush hour. The time available for shooting was not long.
Soon, a series of car collisions occurred.
The crew took adequate safety measures and no one was injured.
Martin also went over, asked about Buck, took the suit he took off, and put it on.
After Buck left the stage, he, the real male protagonist, entered the temporary set again and started a fierce gun battle with a group of killers.
The sound of gunfire continued, and Martin was like the protagonist in a video game, slaughtering the enemies crazily, fully demonstrating what a suit thug is.
"Corpses" littered the streets of New York.
When Chad called for a stop to filming, the bodies did not get up. The cameraman ran over with the camera, chose a suitable position, and took a few photos of the set.
This is Martin's crew. Although they are busy with filming and do not have Nolan's creative talent, who can write real tidbits in the way of movie scripts anytime and anywhere, they can still help the crew create news and attract attention.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work on time. The cleaning company entered the road like a professional scavenger and collected all the garbage on the road as quickly as possible. Before the evening rush hour arrived, the road was restored to normal.
On the way back, Martin, Chad and others took the same business car.
Marcus was looking at the photos taken by the photographer on the set: "These can't be released directly, right?"
Chad said, "It should be matched with the appropriate news." Martin leaned over to take a look and said, "That's easy. People are saying that I'm depressed and crazy because of the Joker. The corpses all over the ground are just right for my condition."
Jessica, the publicity director next to her, said, “I’ve thought of it.”
He took out his laptop, turned it on, and started to get busy.
When the group arrived at the hotel, Jessica not only uploaded the news to the crew's official website, but her team also reposted it to a series of entertainment websites.
The news pictures were all scenes of gunfights on the streets of Manhattan, with multiple corpses lying on each one.
There were corpses everywhere and blood flowed like a river.
The news headline written by Jessica herself: "John Wick" has just started filming, and Martin Davis is going crazy on the set!
When they arrived at the hotel, Jessica brought people to find the crew's psychologist to shoot a news video.
The psychologist was paid to cooperate with the work and warned in the video: "Martin must reduce his workload to avoid a relapse of his old illness due to overly violent scenes."
This statement not only highlights Martin's situation and uses him to attract people, but also points out a major feature of the film: violence!
Violence is one of the biggest selling points of commercial films.
After dinner, Martin returned to his room. Alexandra was home tonight and had some free time.
Bruce took a bottle of essential oil and deliberately asked, "Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Martin gave him the middle finger: "Save your strength for Kim and Khloe."
"It's Khloe!" Bruce emphasized, "It has nothing to do with Kim."
Martin despised this scumbag: "You are a scumbag. You took everything away and refused to admit it."
Bruce quickly changed the subject: "Be careful of Alexandra's sister. She looks at you in a strange way."
Martin was determined: "How could a good person like me touch Catherine? I couldn't even hide from her."
Bruce put away the essential oil, took a book and threw it to Martin, saying, "Student scumbag, you took someone's book, don't you want to take a look?"
"We've been so busy these past few days. We were busy filming during the day." Martin took the copy of Prince of Thieves that Chuck Hogan had given him and said, "Not to mention the nights. We've been through a magnitude 9 earthquake these past few days."
When they were alone, Alexandra would not let him idle. Even when he was tired, he would still have an essential oil massage.
Martin stretched and went to make a cup of tea. It happened that he had some time tonight, so he could take his time and watch it slowly.
He opened the cover of the novel and began to read it carefully.
Graham King has been Scorsese's producer for a long time. He is a very reliable person and the writers he recommends are at least not bad.
This is a crime novel set in Charleston, an old town in Boston, where the residents have a long criminal tradition.
Charleston is a true reflection of the original Boston. Its residents are mainly of Irish descent and most of them work as ordinary workers. This town has a very big characteristic. It has the highest incidence rate of armored car and bank robberies in the United States. The number of bank robbers monitored by the Massachusetts Police and the FBI in the community is also the highest in the United States.
The protagonists are four young men in the town who are like brothers. They are all hidden bank robbers, well-equipped with sophisticated weapons and bold methods of committing crimes. Until a bank robbery that changed their fate happened, the male protagonist had a series of entanglements with the female bank manager.
Martin was a terrible student, but he had enough patience. He forced himself to read for a while and gradually immersed himself in the plot of the novel.
Chuck Hogan's novel is very well written. In terms of the crime plot alone, it is more exciting than Alan Green's "Dark Area", and it is not obscure at all. It is very entertaining, especially the several robberies performed by the protagonists, which are written in a thrilling way.
After reading the first part, Martin began to browse quickly, and by late at night, he had read nearly half of it.
Bruce came back from outside and was surprised to see Martin still reading the novel: "This novel is very interesting. Is there a plot about the Holy Valley?"
Martin said: "It's a crime fiction novel, and although it takes place in Boston, when I read it, I thought about our life in Atlanta."
Bruce took the novel, flipped through the beginning, and said, "We were lucky enough to have struggled out of the quagmire. If we had stayed in that place for a long time, we might have ended up taking this path. After all, the money comes quickly."
Martin laughed: "I'm an American hero, the kind who caught a Russian spy."
Bruce knew Martin well enough to pick up the novel and shook it: "Do you like it? Do you want to buy the rights to make a film or TV adaptation?"
"You know me well." Martin didn't need to hide anything in front of Old Bu, and said directly: "Give Jessica a heads-up tomorrow and ask her... No, let's take some time to go there in person."
He was quite thoughtful: "Chuck Hogan is a friend of director Scorsese and was personally introduced to me by Graham King. Now that I have taken a fancy to his novel, I must show due respect to him."
In this regard, Martin has always been very good at dealing with people.
Bruce took Chuck Hogan's business card and wrote down the address and contact information.
Martin was going to take a shower.
As for the plot of this novel, it reminded him of a movie, "The Town" directed by Ben Affleck.
Big Ben, what a coincidence.
