This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 145 Succubus Chen Yuan in Action

"Ah!"

Chen Yuan glanced at Binbin in the passenger seat, then refocused his attention on the section of the overpass that had been closed off by the film crew.

"Boss, the next car chase scene requires you to overtake other cars continuously at speeds exceeding 75 kilometers per hour."

Achieving the effect you want is extremely dangerous; perhaps you should let a stunt driver do it!

An Audi Quattro has been modified with various electronic components that look both advanced and retro.
Zack, perched atop the rather cool-looking prop vehicle, frowned deeply and offered another warning with obvious concern.

This young Chinese producer demonstrated remarkable ability even during the film project's preparation stage.

But what surprised everyone was that he had a wealth of experience in action choreography, lighting design, set design, and even wire work.

It's hard to imagine what he's not good at. The Chinese people in the crew all call him "President Chen" or "Boss Chen".

After they got to know each other better, the others gradually changed from calling him by his English name, Virgil, to calling him 'Boss'.
In the American context, this doesn't just refer to the boss; it also expresses a friendly compliment and praise.

Including himself, Zack greatly admires Boss's ability to shape character image and plot atmosphere with lighting, and many of his ideas coincide with his own.

Using cool colors like gray and blue tones to create a cold, cruel, and oppressive atmosphere in Night City is just standard practice.

Surrounding the character with green and pink lights to make them stand out from the background and add a dramatic visual effect is a bold move, but it works quite well.

As their relationship deepened, Zack came to understand why Boss knew so much; his learning ability was terrifying, as if he had a prosthetic brain.

Just two weeks ago, Boss was just an ordinary driver.

However, after practicing driving with the stunt drivers hired by the film crew in the open space outside the studio during his spare time,
They can now perform high-difficulty driving skills that only amateur racers can do, such as power drifting, handbrake drifting, and weight transfer drifting!

Such terrifying talent astonished drivers who had been racing stunt cars for over a decade, leaving them repeatedly saying it was impossible.

If Boss could learn other things as quickly as he learned to drive, then his current level of skill wouldn't be hard to understand.

Zack knew that Boss was a good driver and very talented, but overtaking here was not a normal lane change.

The scene that is about to be filmed is David's first mission after joining Mann's team: to obtain navigation data from Arasaka's bodyguard vehicle.

However, due to an accident, David and Lucy were locked in the car. In order to ensure that the mission would not fail, they had no choice but to forcibly drive the car away.

At this point, David couldn't drive yet. This scene had to show both David's lack of driving skills and his unparalleled speed after starting the Sinwidman.

Therefore, when driving, you can't just make a normal turn to overtake; instead, you have to get close to the car in front and then suddenly make a sharp turn to overtake.

These kinds of shots, both close-ups and extreme close-ups, are easy to film; just polish each shot individually.

Hollywood films typically use close-ups and extreme close-ups to depict intense car chase scenes.
In the movie, the main characters are only filmed turning the steering wheel, stepping on the brake, and changing gears, while the various high-difficulty maneuvers performed by the vehicles on screen are done by stunt drivers.

But the Boss wasn't satisfied. He designed a medium long shot that would fully showcase the thrill of the escape, and he even wanted to drive the car himself. He was absolutely insane.

Chen Yuanxian calmed Binbin down before he could speak up and agree with Zack, then smiled and waved to Zack.

"No need, Zack. There were no problems during rehearsals, so there shouldn't be any problems now. Go and get the departments ready. Once everything is arranged, we'll go."

"Why are you being stubborn again!"

Binbin gently pushed Chen Yuan to express her dissatisfaction.

"How can you call it showing off? This is called having a plan!" Chen Yuan reached out to help Binbin, who had transformed into a cyberpunk woman, fix her silver-white rainbow gradient hairstyle.
I wonder how many people will imitate this super avant-garde hairstyle after the movie is released.
White hairstyles are the most challenging to pull off in terms of looks and face shape; not everyone can pull off all sorts of bizarre styles like Binbin.

Putting aside all other thoughts, Chen Yuan explained the scene to Binbin: "Binbin, after filming begins, there will be two camera cranes on the left and right sides, using telephoto lenses to capture our expressions."

You need to act a little scared, but enjoy the thrill—not obviously horrified, understand?

"I know, I know. I'm already used to it after you took me racing a few days ago."

Fan Binbin smiled sweetly at Chen Yuan, who looked young and fresh with makeup, like a high school student.

Being brought to such a high-profile stage by Chen Yuan for my first film shoot, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

During my time filming in the United States, it was very difficult at first, in every sense of the word: communication, lines, action scenes, and the discrimination against me, a Chinese actress, from within the team due to connections.

But she didn't have to face any of this herself; Chen Yuan always stood up for her and solved all her problems.

Fan Binbin watched helplessly as Chen Yuan used his formidable strength, which left everyone in awe, to conquer one troublemaker after another.

The production crews, which were originally divided into different systems, were gradually drawn to him and came together into a team with a clearer goal.

The allure of the film "The Edge Walker" captivated the filmmakers from the very beginning of its production.

The film features thrilling and action-packed scenes that make up more than 45% of its runtime.

As the absolute female lead, Lucy received a lot of screen time, and it's impossible to fully appreciate how much effort Chen Yuan put into this role just by reading the script.

She prays every day that "The Edge Walker" can be filmed and released safely and smoothly, so that people all over the world can witness his talent!

Chen Yuan gripped the steering wheel, repeatedly recalling the key points from previous rehearsals.

With the [Light Vehicle Driving Mastery] cheat, this level of car chase is nothing to him.

However, he needed to find a reliable way to showcase his various skills, so he pretended to learn driving skills from the stunt drivers hired by the film crew, and showed off his unreasonable "learning talent" in front of the crew.

He gradually united the entire crew through his 'personal charm'.

However, he didn't get cocky and maintained due respect for Alvin and the American team, without infringing on their rights too much.

The vehicles parked outside have all been modified, but it's just a resource library created by the art team according to Chen Yuan's requirements.

The modifications and paint styles of the front, rear, and roof of the car were randomly selected from the material library and mixed together.
Upon closer inspection, it appears rough and strange, but when it converges into a stream of cars, it truly evokes a feeling of being in a different era.

The vehicle controlled by the protagonist has been specially designed and modified, which is not difficult. There are many interior details of vehicles in the game "2077" that Chen Yuan can refer to.

Holographic information like HUDs uses post-production special effects, but the screens displaying various data are almost entirely physical screens, and the UI animations played inside are pre-made by the post-production team.

Some screens display real vehicle data. For example, the steering wheel that Chen Yuan is holding now is based on the future Li Auto, with a small screen displaying vehicle information on it.

I just casually mentioned it because I thought it would be more high-tech, and I never expected that the car modification team hired by the production crew would actually make it.

I wonder if anyone will modify the cars based on the details in the movie after the movie is released, or if any legitimate car companies will buy the design patent that Chen Yuan has already registered.

Putting aside these thoughts, Chen Yuan started the vehicle, gradually increasing the speed. After receiving the indication that it was ready, he stepped on the gas, and the car accelerated rapidly with a roar of the engine, soon merging into the traffic on the film set.
