Vol 2 Chapter 611: Pull down


The crew was able to find this hospital to shoot the clown explosion scene on the spot, and to speak of it, I would also like to thank one person, that is, the Democratic senator from Vermont, named Patrick Kleich.
This person is extremely fond of "Batman" and belongs to the kind of super fan. He once narrated for "Batman" cartoons, and wrote the preface for the "Batman" novel. Gram, I strongly request to show up.
Duke knew very well that it was impossible not to deal with politics at the present point, and he gave the state senator the opportunity to act.
His scene has been filmed, and it is the clown who broke into Bruce Wayne's fundraising party for Harvey Dante and reached out to pinch the decent old man who refuted his absurd remarks.
The senator’s fans were satisfied, and turned back to help the crew. I heard that after the crew was looking for a suitable hospital, he used his identity and influence to quickly settle a hospital in Vermont. The hospital to be demolished, after Charles Rowan had a talk in the past, he signed a contract very happily.
Afterwards, Duke rushed to Vermont with actors such as Jos Williams’ firework crew and Heath Ledger.
Standing in front of the hospital building, Duke watched Jos Williams command the pyrotechnic team, members, busy laying explosives and wires. He hasn't made such a big explosion in a long time. In recent years Explosive scenes, either using model shooting, or CGI post synthesis.
"Duke, as long as "The Dark Knight" needs help..."
The Vermont Senator Patrick Kraich was standing next to Duke, "Just speak up."
Duke thought for a while and simply invited him, "Patrick, if you have time next May, you are welcome to go to Chicago to attend the premiere of The Dark Knight."
"I will definitely be there!" Patrick Claysey said swornly.
Anyway. This is all a promotional point. Duke knows very well that if you want "The Dark Knight" to create brilliance, you must not let go of any promotion opportunities.
Over there, Jose Williams made a gesture to Duke. Duke turned his head and said to the senator, "We are almost ready for the explosion. Let's go back."
The two moved away from the hospital building that was about to be bombed. Duke handed Patrick Kleich to Charles Rowan to entertain him. He found Heath Ledger, who had been prepared, and drove back Jos William. Mu called over.
"Heath, this is a field explosion."
It is definitely unrealistic to find a suitable hospital to blow up. Heath Ledger has no experience in participating. Duke specifically told him, "It may feel a little special when it explodes. You have to control your body."
Don't experience that kind of scene. It is impossible to imagine their own reaction. Some people are likely to be frightened by the loud explosion and the shaking of the earth.
Heath Ledger's pale clown face cracked a weird smile, "I have done a lot of experiments with Jos, and there will be no problems."
Duke nodded and said to Jos Williams, "The explosion will not happen all at once. Pay attention to the actions of Heath."
"Hmm..." Jos Williams gave Heath Ledger a thumbs up. "Don't worry."
This is a special explosion scene, which is different from the explosion scene popular in Hollywood and even the whole world.
In countless movies. The protagonist always walks away unrestrainedly after the war, and will never look back even if the explosion is soaring into the sky.
Also known as the real man, he never looks back at the explosion.
However, there are many similar scenes in the film produced by Duke, but the explosion made by the clown is different, especially a clown in a nurse's uniform. Not to mention the common sense of movies.
"The props are ready!"
"The lights are ready!"
"Photography is ready!"
"The aerial film crew is ready!"
"..."
"The fireworks are ready!"
Hearing the final confirmation from Jos Williams, Duke gave the order to start shooting.
"The One Hundred and Fourth Scene of "The Dark Knight, Act Two", Chang Ji stood in front of the camera lens with Chang Ji, "Now!"
Heath Ledger, dressed in a nurse costume, bounced out of the hospital building. Walking towards the vehicle, the people next to the vehicle seemed to have seen the scariest thing in Gotham City, and fled one by one in embarrassment.
Behind the clown, explosions sounded one after another, and countless pieces of glass and buildings flew into the air, but the scale of the explosion was not large. It only blew up some simple buildings. The main body of the hospital building was intact.
The explosion stopped suddenly, and it seemed that he didn’t want to look back at the explosion. The clown stopped and turned his head. He didn’t seem to understand why it didn’t explode. He turned around and spread his hands helplessly before looking at his hands. Remote control.
He pressed and slapped the remote control again, and finally remembered a huge explosion. The red flames rushed into the sky with the billowing smoke, as if he was also frightened by the sound, Heath Ledger Looking back at the flames of the explosion, he rushed into the vehicle ahead.
More explosions sounded, and this serial explosion was as crazy as the actions of a clown, and eventually the hospital building was turned into ruins.
Patrick Kleich took off his earplugs and looked at the ruins on the opposite side. He was a little dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw such a large-scale explosion. It was amazing. A hospital was turned into in the flames of the explosion. heap……
It's an explosive demon! He secretly sighed in his heart that it was absolutely worthwhile to help the crew to witness such an explosive scene with his own eyes.
"Great!"
Successfully done it in one go, Duke also stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, and first shouted at the fireworks team, "Good job, Jos!"
Then he turned to Heath Ledger, "You did a good job."
It wasn't until then that Duke realized that Heath Ledger's hand that took the assistant and handed the towel was shaking, and the whole person seemed to be trembling. The assistant provided by the crew hurriedly helped him to the trailer.
This situation is not surprising. The people on the Duke team have long been accustomed to working in front of explosions, but Heath Ledger, who used to work only in youth films and literary films, has never experienced such a scene. It is normal to be frightened. Nevertheless.
But his control is really amazing, he didn't show his timidity in front of the camera.
There are still some remaining scenes here. Duke handed it to Anna Prinz to shoot, and he watched the panoramic explosion shot from the air by the helicopter.
From the perspective of the panoramic lens, the explosion was indeed amazing and fully met his requirements.
Then, he watched another scene of Heath Ledger, and he had to say that this explosion was really crazy and weird.
The filming in Vermont only lasted three days before it was over. After the people who were left were responsible for the finishing work such as garbage collection, Duke led the crew back to Los Angeles.
Although there are still a few days before Christmas, Duke is still busy shooting. According to his plan, the film in the studio will be completed before Christmas. After the Christmas holiday, the crew will gather in Chicago and shoot the rest. The location scene points.
Of course, the battle between Batman played by Christian Bell and Heath Ledger's Joker is the focus of the whole film.
"In the previous scene, you had a line that would let you see the true side of people when they are nearing death."
In the building built by the Hughes Aircraft Factory, Duke is talking about the scene for Heath Ledger next to him. This scene has been ngg several times, "This is not a particularly accurate point of view. Simply put, it is just before death. , Including not dying in the end, will show your true self."
"So, when Batman throws you downstairs, you don't care at all." Duke completely treated Heath Ledger as a clown. "You laughed until you were about to fall to death. This will give people a terrible feeling, because the clown is not afraid of death, he even finds it funny."
"I think..." Heath Ledger nodded seriously, "I think I understand."
Duke turned to Christian Bell again, and when he passed by, said, "Go hard, Christian."
After all the departments were in place, shooting started again.
When the Joker fell downstairs, he was rescued by Batman. He laughed frantically, "You just can't let me die, right? You really are stubborn, aren't you? You won't kill me because you have a Dislocation of self-righteousness. And I will not kill you, because you are so fun, I think we are destined to fight like this forever!"
Christian Bale, dressed in Batman, leaned over and stared at him and said, "You will always be locked up in the mental ward for a lifetime."
Heath Ledger said nonchalantly, "Maybe we can share this one. You see, there are more and more crazy residents in this city, and there will always be two people living together."
Christian Bale looked into the distance, seeming to see the two unexploded ships, "This city just showed you that there are many people who believe in justice."
"Until their mental breakdown is complete, until they see a beautiful, real Harvey Dante, and all his'heroic deeds'." Heath Ledger gave out a clown laughter again. "Don’t you really think that I risk losing this battle of the Gotham Souls and pin all hope of victory on your punches and kicks? You need to have a trump card in hand, I This is Harvey Dante!"
"What did you do?" Christian Bale asked angrily.
"I controlled Gotham's Light Knight and reduced him to the same low level as both of us. It's not difficult at all..."
Batman won the Joker, but lost Gotham Soul Station.
Before Christmas came, Duke ended all the filming in the studio, gave the crew a holiday, and rushed to New York to spend Christmas at his home in New York. (To be continued...)
