Chapter 112 Then I won’t be polite

"District 9" is different from ordinary science fiction movies.

Other science fiction movies are about the future or alien space, but "District 9" is different. Others focus on aesthetics, while this one focuses on the aesthetics of ugliness.

Every scene of the plot conflict is highly stimulating. It is not a beautiful prospect, but a fable of reality.

The makeup artist created a model that appeared on the set, looking hideous and evil, and all of this would be put on Sean.

The filming span of the plot is larger than any previous film, and it was shot in two locations, one in Hollywood and one in Africa.

Funds are limited and there is no ability to build a huge slum.

The filming is divided into two locations. The Hollywood plot will be filmed first, and then we will go to Africa, and security will need to be hired at that time.

Sean put on his costume, sat in the office and began to speak to the camera, "The current District 9 will be moved to a safer and better place." It was a long dialogue performance.

A large part of the film is based on the presentation of documentaries and news, which highlights the depth of the film.

It seems like it is not making a movie but recording what happened, which makes the sense of immersion stronger.

Finally, Sean took out a photo of Naomi from the drawer, with a gentle smile on his face, and introduced her happily: "You haven't seen my wife yet, I'll let you meet my wife. She is a unique angel, she looks like an angel wearing an angel halo."

The happy man in front of the camera is introducing the most important thing to him, but he doesn't know that tragedy is about to begin. This is also his happiest moment.

Sean seemed to display all his tenderness in it, and you could feel his overflowing happiness through the camera.

"Come on, Sean, great, the first part is over." Chen An shouted the slogan after the other party finished his performance.

The first performance of the film was successfully completed and Chen An was very satisfied.

Sean closed his eyes and took a long breath before standing up. "Luckily I cleared the first level."

"Yes, you take a rest first. It's other people's turn to shoot next." Chen An nodded.

Next are the shots of other people. Like Sean, they are all interviewed facing the camera, showing the complete human nature through the indirect questions from friends and staff.

The wound is torn open bit by bit, revealing that the protagonist is deserted by his friends and relatives, and the influence of public opinion pushes him into a desperate situation step by step.

The staff put gloves on Sean's hands, the same as the lobster hands in the movie, and then wrapped them with gauze. The well-made gloves and the makeup on the arms made them look lifelike.

Then wrap it with a layer of gauze temporarily.

"Sean, do you feel used to wearing this thing on your hand?" Chen An asked as he was lying on the hospital bed preparing to be filmed.

Sean unconsciously raised his wrapped left hand and said, "It's a bit uncomfortable. The makeup gloves are tightly attached to my hand, but it doesn't have much impact." Although he was a little uncomfortable at first.

But it didn't make any difference to him.

What was filmed next was the beginning of the other party's tragedy. The infected hand had turned into the appearance of a shrimp man, and he also became the unlucky guy who was wrongly accused by the media of being infected by cross-species mating with the shrimp man.

I can only say that this reason is really fucked up, but coupled with the fabricated pictures and his current changes, one cannot help but believe it.

The camera was aimed at Sean lying on the bed. After the doctor removed the gauze, the mutant hand that was wrapped was untied and bounced out!

Sean's pupils in front of the camera contracted instantly, his facial expression changed abruptly, and he jumped up on the bed. The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the doctor was so scared that he couldn't speak. Only Sean kept chattering.

Sean asked the other party to notify his wife, but the doctor called the guards and took him away directly.

He was held hostage by security all the way out of the hospital and came to a basement where countless shrimp people had been dissected. He witnessed the horror of purgatory and the evil desires of mankind!

It was horrifying to lie on a bed and be wheeled through rows of dissected shrimp-men corpses.

He was the project leader the day before, but was taken into a dim basement, subjected to various experiments, and electrocuted with a stun gun for compliance. After learning about the situation, his father-in-law decided to abandon him.

He was also included as an experimental subject.

Now, he is no longer a person in the eyes of others. He is excluded.

The filming continued in the form of a documentary, and during this filming, Sean in front of the camera looked a little mentally broken!
Originally the stun gun was fake, but Sean asked to replace it with a real one and turn down the voltage to the minimum. Chen An had no choice but to say, since you asked for it, I won't be polite.

"Click, quick, quick, help him out." After the filming was completed, Chen An immediately notified the staff around him.

Sean, who was tied to the steel plate, now looked pale and a little exhausted.

The staff who received the command immediately rushed over, untied him and helped him down. The other party also lay weakly on the staff who helped him out.

Chen An quickly ran over and asked, "Sean, are you okay? Stop for a while and wait for the next scene before filming."

The effect of real swords and guns is naturally good, but the actors' bodies don't feel that way.

Chen An is not Hitchcock who really treats actors as animals and doesn't care about anything.

Compared to these, the other person's life is more important.

"I just need to rest for a while. Sorry to make you worry." Sean said a little weakly as he lay leaning on someone's shoulder.

Chen An looked at the other person's appearance and didn't know what to say. I made you into this state, and you still apologize to me.

You really treat acting as your life.

With the help of the doctor provided by the crew, the other party lay on an iron bed to rest for a while.

After examining him, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with him, he was just a little tired and just needed some rest.

Chen An also breathed a sigh of relief, lamenting that the other party was truly tough.

Although this drama is a male-centered drama, it is not completely impossible to shoot without the other party. The drama can be shot when the other party is taking a rest.

Chen An also quickly took some other scattered shots.

We can't waste time. With such a large crew, we are burning money every day. Any delay will cost us a lot of US dollars.

In order to shoot the special effects scenes, the crew built a huge green screen.

It was the first time for Chen An to shoot this kind of scene, and to be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable with it.

A few green men were photographed against a completely green background, and a group of people were photographed against each other.

This section was directed by Chen An, and the person actually responsible for arranging the filming was responsible for special effects.

Chen An was also watching and learning this shooting technique.

Forgive him for being surprised by what he has seen.

It looked like a funny scene on the scene.

"Jerry, this is Hollywood's special effects shooting technique. It's quite novel." Chen An, who was watching on the side, said to Jerry.

Jerry nodded and said, "Don't underestimate it. You'll know when it's produced." He has seen many such scenes.

Chen An also knew that this was just his first personal experience.

"Hurry up and get ready. After we finish filming this scene, we will go to Africa. It's not a good place. I don't think you will like it." Jerry patted Chen An's shoulder.

Due to insufficient production funds and no extra money to build a huge shooting set, the only option was to go to Africa, a place covered in yellow sand.

"Chen, you must be careful." Naomi, who was standing next to him, unconsciously pulled Chen An's collar and said worriedly.

She didn't have any scenes there, and the heroine's role wasn't important either, so once her scenes were shot, the filming was wrapped.
