readx; Sandstorms swept across the sky, covering the sun and the sky with a misty red color. The transparent lake blue and hazy orange red are naturally mixed together. Not only will they not appear chaotic, but they are thrilling magnificence, spreading continuously within the sight. What is amazing is that at the end of the horizon, there is no boundary between the sky and the earth at all. Only a chaotic halo is surging. The boundless and vastness pushes the insignificance of human beings to the extreme. The unpredictable sand storm turns into small tornados, gently rolling up, and then gently dissipates. The blue and red are constantly rolling like veils, as if they are in the whimsical world of outer space, making people unable to help but raise their heads and enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them with dumbfoundedness. The miracles of nature can always make language lose its color.

But... "Ph, phew." It took only three seconds to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Almost everyone began to close their mouths and clean up the sand that penetrated their mouths. Not only their mouths, but even their noses and eyes were covered. No matter how spectacular the scene was, it immediately destroyed the atmosphere. This feeling was really amazing.

Charlize looked back at everyone's embarrassment, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which awakened her childhood memories, and she almost forgot about the years she had been in her hometown.

Involuntarily, Charlize raised his hand and touched his bare head. After she arrived in Cape Town, she shaved her head. Not only her, but Michael Fassbender also shaved her head and Lance also shaved a round inch. To be precise, the main actors of the entire crew re-took their hairstyles. In order to create a suitable look, the hairstyle team, clothing team, and makeup team stayed in Cape Town for a full ten days, and today they arrived in the Namibian desert and officially started filming. Now that so many days have passed, Charlize is still not used to the feeling of baldness, and always feels a chill on his head.

"So, how did you think of coming here to shoot?" Charlize looked at Lance beside him, a light gray T-shirt paired with a shabby dark brown leather jacket. His temperament became tough, as if he was far from the gentleman and elegant man in front of the media. But if he thought about it carefully, how could a man who could put the whole Hollywood so hard and behave like his appearance?

Lance pursed his lips, "Because this is the oldest desert on earth." He paused, "and the chance of a mirage here is the highest."

Lance's attitude was serious, but Charlize rolled his eyes and didn't believe this statement at all. "However, shooting here is a smart choice." As a South African, Charlize naturally has a deep understanding of this land.dudu1;

The African continent has always been in a political turmoil. After the Rwandan massacre in 1994, internal regimes in many countries have not been able to stabilize. Coupled with serious natural disasters and backward economic conditions, this continent has always been the most barren land among the five continents. It is obviously difficult for an American crew to film here, even worse than the situation of "City of God" in Rio de Janeiro. Without the support of the government and local people, it is almost impossible to do.

But in this, Namibia, which finally achieved independence after a long colonial period, is undoubtedly one of the best choices. Namibia was officially independent in 1990. After that, Namibia has always been in a low-key and stable development state. Although the economic situation is still bad, the situation has become much more stable. What's more, choosing the Namibian desert for shooting, the local indigenous people are very friendly and enthusiastic. As long as there is correct guidance and respecting their beliefs, the shooting will not only not be blocked, but also get their help.

Of course, the most important thing is that the cost of shooting in Namibia is far lower than that in Morocco, and the safety is almost the same. This is also one of the reasons why American media are extremely shocked: Reims not only chose the right shooting location, but also chose a cost-effective shooting location, which not only avoided the situation of being surrounded by six major film companies, but also avoided the dilemma of the "Saharan Cavalry".

From this we can see that Lance was definitely not on a whim, but had planned it long ago.

In fact, what outsiders don’t know is that George Miller initially suggested that Lance shoot in Australia. On the one hand, the Australian environment is much better than Africa, and the shooting props, shooting experience, etc. are the closest to the United States, which is not comparable to that of backward Africa; on the other hand, the Australian government has been encouraging Hollywood teams to come and shoot, and has given many preferential policies in tax policies, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for Chaos Pictures.

Unfortunately, the early inspection personnel stayed in many deserts in Australia for a long time, but the changing weather conditions made the shooting extremely difficult. Since Lance hoped that most of the shots would be shot on the spot, this was difficult to achieve in weather with flying sand and rocks and strong winds. In desperation, the crew had to give up on Australia and chose Namibia, which has a more difficult environment but a more suitable weather conditions.dudu2;

However, the investigation is just an investigation after all, and there is a huge difference between the pictures seen in the photos and the real situation. However, Lance did not expect that the difference was so big that it could even be called a huge difference.

The sandstorm in front of you can only be said to be slight, with a visibility of at least 30 yards. However, even in this case, it is not easy to complete the shooting smoothly. The actors must complete the accurate shooting in a continuous interference. This is the simplest link. The overall scheduling of the crew and the accurate capture of the camera are really a headache. What's more, "Crazy Max 4" - also known as the "Rampant Road", the large-scene shots of this work account for at least 60%. The overall control and keenness of details have put forward higher requirements. Even if it is extremely difficult to complete the shooting in the studio, it still needs to face the influence of nature.

Putting aside the occasional blowing wind, even if the sun is shining brightly, the hot sun that can almost peel off the skin will become a severe test for the lighting group, photography group and actor group.

Less than thirty minutes after arriving at the temporary base built by the crew on the outskirts of the Namibian Desert, Lance felt the ubiquitous pressure swarming. This is not Rio de Janeiro. Although the filming of "City of God" was very difficult at the beginning, the really difficult part was dealing with people. No matter how difficult it was, you can still find a solution. But now the "Raging Road" requires facing the coercion of nature. They are helpless except praying for God's help.

Lance straightened his back and had already anticipated all this when he chose the "Raging Road". Although the difficulties are far beyond imagination, he was not worried that the soldiers would block the water and soil. If he was afraid, he would not stand on the edge of the desert to enjoy such a beautiful scenery.

"Albert." Lance turned his head and shouted, "Call the leaders of each group over here, and the actors also try to come over as much as possible. Let's have a collective meeting." dudu3;

"There is not enough tent space..." Albert called out to Lance, who was about to turn his head and said. This is the crew's base camp, which uses the largest tent, but it can only accommodate thirty people at most. If there are more, it will be crowded. This is not only the largest crew in Chaos Pictures' history, but also the largest crew in charge of Lance and Albert. Even the "day acquired" cannot be compared, so they both lack some experience and can only cross the river by feeling the stones.

Lance turned around and looked around, "Try to shout it over. It is best for characters with lines to come over. We open the curtains and windows of the tent, and then arrange some people at the door and both sides." In fact, the open windows have three layers, one layer of mesh and two layers of plastic. Just zip the plastic windows open, and the sound inside can be ventilated and breathable, and you can naturally hear the sound inside. "We need to hold a summary meeting."

Albert immediately understood what Lance meant. The shooting plan for "Raging Road" was too crazy and too difficult. It not only required the unity and cooperation of the entire crew, but also the dedicated cooperation of the actors. If any error occurs in any link, it will be magnified several times in the harsh environment of the desert, which consumes time, energy and money, and these are things that they cannot afford.

After watching Albert turn and leave, Lance finds Percy again, "find out the storyboards of the first act." Then Lance turns to look at the main actors in the tent, "Everyone pay attention, you can find a position in the front row first, if in the middle, sit cross-legged on the ground," the ground is sand, "If it is on both sides, don't block the view of the windows. Next, the entire crew meeting is crucial."

After saying that, everyone looked at each other, obviously not in time, and was not very familiar with the situation. Emma was very casual. She found a position diagonally in front of her and sat cross-legged. Charlize and Michael also sat next to Emma. Giselle, Adriana and others were a little confused. They even had few opportunities to shoot movies, let alone crew meetings, so they couldn't find the direction for a while.

Just as they were hesitating, Percy had already walked in with the storyboard, followed by Hayden, Edgar, Newton and others. The tents immediately became bustling and began to become lively. In a blink of an eye, the empty tent seemed to have become extremely crowded.

Giselle hesitated for a moment, walked to Lance's left, looked for a gap next to the window and stood there; Miranda found a folding chair next to the table on her right and sat down directly; Adriana and Candice thought for a while, both of them stood close to the wall next to the table. If possible, of course they didn't want to sit on the ground. The feeling was really...primitive, and it seemed not very hygienic. To be continued.
