As the crew increases filming time in Las Vegas, more and more reporters gather here, and they are circling around the crew every day, hoping to find out or shoot some scoops. Even if there is no scoop, you can get some new news. Who made "Transformers" a new work by Duke?

"If you go to the street to interview ten people randomly, I'm afraid half of them will know what the new movie Duke Rosenberg is shooting."

Sitting in an open-air cafe, Jack Scholes, ace reporter from the Washington Post entertainment page, said to his cameraman, "If you want someone to pay attention to the entertainment page, the report on Duke Rosenberg's new work is actually the best choice."

The cameraman holding a coffee cup kept nodding, "No director has ever attracted the attention of the entire North American public like Duke Rosenberg, and his influence has long exceeded the director's own scope."

A director who can rank among the top 20 Forbes' world richest man list is not as simple as an ordinary director.

"What you said makes sense."

Speaking of this, Jack Scholes looked at the location of the crew in the distance and suddenly shook his head, "It's a pity that his vulgar personal taste will never change."

The other party has achieved brilliant enough in the field of commercial films, but he is unwilling to take a little step towards the field of art films. In his opinion, this is simply too unpursuing.

The cameraman stopped nodding, but said nothing, just savored his own coffee. Although he had different opinions, he would not be so stupid that he would say it in front of his boss.

Jack Scholes was still shaking his head, remembering a scene he had watched in the morning, which was a scene with the heroine.

As the heroine Amber Hilde, there is no line in the whole scene. Apart from scanning her extremely photogenic face, the camera always circles around her sexy figure.

In addition to the role of the vase, this heroine has been weakened to the point of being dispensable.

Every time she appears, she is basically "thin, revealing, and transparent". Even if she escapes and lies on the ground, she has to show off her sexy "po color" according to director Duke Rosenberg's requirements. Such an actor appears in such a movie, which is a great mockery of the art of film...

There are other scenes to shoot. If it weren't for not having a chance to meet, Jack Scholes would definitely sarcastically in front of the other side. A top director who has been in the industry for more than fifteen years actually turned to his old path when he debuted. In the filming, there were both explosions and explosions.

The other party obviously used a field explosion to shoot those hot scenes. Jack Scholes watched the shooting for a few days, and those carefully built backgrounds were often blown into pieces after a scene.

This crew is simply a garbage maker.

But not everyone thinks that.

On another table next to it, several reporters from the Los Angeles Times were also discussing the filming of "Transformers".

"The explosion shots shot on the spot are very visually impactful, but they are still a bit risky when shooting on the streets in Las Vegas."

After one reporter said it with concern, the other retorted, "For a director like Duke who has filmed "Breaking into the Deadly Island", "Independence Day" and "Saving Private Ryan", controlling the explosion scene is not difficult."

The reporter sitting among the two said, "Duke destroyed half of San Francisco, Independence Day destroyed North America, Save Private Ryan destroyed Omaha Beach. In Transformers, he would destroy several US military bases and half of Las Vegas..."

Although more and more journalists gathered in Las Vegas, Duke's shooting progress was not affected. Apart from the occasional new ideas, the entire shooting was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan.

This day, the main filming of Amber Hilde's scenes. As the heroine, she doesn't have many lines. She spends more time using body movements to complete her performances, and the purpose of these body movements is only one. It highlights her appearance and figure.

The sun gradually moved westward, and a scene where Mikaela drove the bumblebee forward. The crew's shooting task was completed today. Duke handed over some of the finishing work to Tina Fei, and accompanied by the press officer, she walked into the interview area designated by the crew and accepted the media interview.

This is a routine that has evolved from Hollywood crews and news media over the years. Journalists will not disturb the crew’s shooting too much, and the crew will also properly cooperate with media interviews.

To be precise, this is a win-win event.

Even if Duke's videos are to be sold well, they need a lot of and full publicity.

A few days ago, the male and female protagonists Andrew Garfield and Amber Hilde were interviewed separately. At the necessary moment of promoting the movie, Duke never minded taking part in person.

"Duke, can you tell me the purpose of making Transformers a live-action movie?" asked a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. "There are a lot of news that you really like this series?"

"Yes, I really like this series." Duke nodded without hesitation. "I said, I always like the toys and cartoons of this series."

"As for why we need to make a live-action movie version."

After pondering for a moment, Duke continued, "I feel that in the history of filmmaking so many years, there has never been a truck that turns into a 20-foot-tall robot on the screen. I also want to create a work that pays tribute to the classic cartoons of the past and finds out the imagination that Hollywood has lost for many years. There are many moments in the movie that have touched us. Even people over thirty years old still feel like an eye-opener when they see the movie."

“But there are a lot of people criticizing…”

Later, the reporter from a newspaper and magazine found several Optimus Prime concept design pictures released by the crew, "This kind of robot has no sense of reality. Their slender bodies cannot bear their weight at all."

"Who said they are robots?" Duke spread his hands and said, "They are mechanical living beings! They are advanced lives that have thoughts, emotions, hobbies, and dislikes. They should have beautiful streamlined bodies just like humans."

Duke stretched out his index finger with his right hand and emphasized, "Remember, they are not those boxy and bulky robots made of steel by humans. If they really want to be designed as clumsy robots, they will look both fake and boring, because this is not like the intelligent life of an alien system, but rather like a inferior robot product produced by the Japanese."

In this regard, the crew, Warner Bros. and Hasbro have reached a complete agreement, and various preliminary preparations have also been launched quickly on this basis.

Although the film is still early to release, promotion and promotion of derivatives have begun.

Starting from October, Hasbro and Warner Bros. spent two months creating a toy product line for the film. In the process, it received strong assistance from the crew's creators. Toys of Fire Source, Optimus Prime and Red Spider will be launched globally one month before the film is released, and the first wave of dolls will be launched next spring.

These toys will also include characters in several second movies including Horizon and Arsey, most of which contain moving parts that allow them to achieve real deformation.

In terms of publicity and distribution, Warner Bros. has reached distribution and introduction agreements with screeners in more than 80 countries and regions after months of negotiations, many of which will be released simultaneously with North America.

In terms of promotion, many sponsors such as General Motors, Panasonic Electric, Lenovo Computer, Burger King and Coca-Cola have long received relevant image and role authorization from the Transformers studio. Starting next spring, many products related to Transformers live-action movies will be launched one after another to warm up the movie.

Props such as Bumblebee's prototype sedan and fire source used for shooting will be placed on Amazon for charity sale by marketing personnel after the shooting is completed.

In addition, Hasbro and Warner Bros. have also established a website called District 7, which launched an alternative reality game for viral marketing, which includes all previous Transformers toys in this film to participate in a secret operation called "Hungry Dragon".

There are also many behind-the-scenes videos on the website, providing 'evidence' of the existence of Transformers on Earth, and naturally, the prototype sedan of Bumblebee is indispensable.

The filming in Las Vegas lasted about a week, and the crew then moved to the Hoover Dam. Like the Pentagon, all Hollywood film crews have been rejected since September 11. Transformers was the first crew to be able to film live in the Hoover Dam since September 2001.

This is one of the famous attractions in the United States. In order not to affect the normal operation of the dam, the crew must get up early every day and then finish the shooting before 10 a.m. The Hoover Dam will be open to tourists after 10 a.m. The pedestrians coming and going will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the crew.

Starting from the shooting of Hoover Dam, Peter Karen also joined the crew. The voice actor of the animated Optimus Prime will use his own voice to evoke the memories of the series by those nostalgic people.

His lines naturally include the "freedom and rights belong to all living beings" selected by online voting.

No matter what the actual situation in the United States is, "freedom and rights belong to all living beings" is definitely the best embodiment of American values ​​in the film, and it also interprets Optimus Prime's thoughts and ideology. Just this line can explain why the Autobots he led will fight to the death with the Decepticons and their compatriots for the earth and mankind.

Applying to the real world, this is an ideological battle. It is a war that transcends race, region and cultural background, and there is no possibility of compromise at all. (To be continued)
