Chatty Hollywood

Keanu Reeves didn't know that he was being set up by his good brother at this time.

He just felt that his performance this time was like a miracle.

For some reason, he had the feeling that he was actually exorcising a demon.

Even when facing the little girl playing the role of a demon-possessed person, he almost had the illusion that something was really crawling under the other person's skin.

This made Keanu Reeves a little scared, but also inexplicably excited.

He did not stop performing because of the surprise in his heart, but became even more excited.

This dangerous and exciting feeling even reminded him of the feeling of riding a heavy motorcycle.

Following the plan in the script, he broke the window and asked someone to bring a mirror.

At the same time, he also told Chas, the young apprentice and driver waiting for him downstairs, through the window to move the car.

However, due to a different scene, Chas, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, did not appear in this scene.

——The shots of Chas need to wait until the corresponding scenes are specially shot, and then combined through editing.

Now, after Keanu Reeves said hello at the window according to the script, he began to use the big mirror to perform exorcism——

On the one hand, he suppressed the little girl who was possessed by the devil, and on the other hand, he asked someone to hang the mirror parallel to the bed where the little girl was...

"CUT! Passed!"

When the preparations for the exorcism were almost complete, Charlotte called a timeout.

There was actually no way to pause the filming at this location, because later on, we needed to shoot the scene where the devil was cast into a mirror by Constantine.

This not only involves special effects, but also faces a problem——

We need to capture the scene in the mirror. In this case, how to hide the camera that only faces the mirror?

When filming a movie, there are too many cases where the camera is exposed by accident because of the mirror.

Therefore, Charlotte simply changed her mind.

At the beginning, an ordinary large mirror was used here, but when the close-up of the demon captured in the mirror was shot, the mirror was replaced by a larger screen.

On the screen, a reflection shot shot in advance will be played, which is the shot where the devil appears.

In this way, there will naturally be no reflection of the camera in the mirror.

As for the demon caught in the mirror, Ruifan naturally made a guest appearance.

——For Charlotte, there is no need to create a special ghost effect.

However, because of this, there must be a pause here for several scenes of exorcism.

The scene where the devil is captured in the mirror will be processed separately. The scene to be shot next is indeed a more interesting scene prepared by Charlotte——

In the original Hellraiser, when the demon is taken into the mirror, it is immediately trapped in the mirror.

Next, Constantine and others only need to throw the mirror out of the window and break it.

However, in Charlotte's opinion, the expressiveness of such a scene was a bit poor.

To put it simply, it’s not good enough!

Therefore, Charlatt specially designed a scene where the image in the mirror is reversed.

Just like the scene in "Inception" when the dream architect Adelina created the dream for the first time, she turned the mirrored street into a real street.

Or the repeatedly reversed mirror world in "Doctor Strange".

Of course, here, Charlotte doesn’t intend to use too complicated a lens.

After all, this demon is essentially just a small soldier. It is a bit strange to use such magical spells to deal with it but not be able to use them later.

Charlotte just designed a shot where the scene and reality blend and reverse -

After the demon was captured in the mirror, Constantine also turned around.

The next moment, his reflection in the mirror became his true body.

He punched the demon in the face, causing it to fall backwards and literally fall into the mirror.

And Constantine took advantage of the reaction force of this punch.

He retreated from the mirror world and returned to the real world again.

Then he taunted the trapped demon,

"Say hello to your BOSS!"

——This is the Charlotte design lens.

At present, this kind of lens is still quite novel and impactful.

However, although this may only be a shot of about ten seconds when it is screened, it is not a lot of trouble to realize it when shooting.

Just to express this mirror reversal effect, Charlotte and Addison Young tried and tested more than ten times before determining the final effect.

To realize Constantine's fight with the devil, special effects photography is needed.

Of course, in fact, Charlotte was using his magic special effects——

He directly made Ruifan look like a demon and possessed the little stuntman who had been prepared in advance.

In this way, what appears in his specially processed camera footage is a real demon.

However, other uninformed crew members and the protagonist Keanu Reeves did not know this.

In Reeves' view, what he was doing at this time was actually a green screen shooting.

The stuntman playing the devil is dressed like a Smurf and is preparing to receive his "punch of punishment."

"But, isn't it about green screen shooting? Why is he wearing blue now?"

Before the shooting, Keanu was still a little curious.

“Green and blue are both okay actually.”

Charlotte explained,

"Green and blue are used as background colors, which makes it easier for technicians to erase the captured content later and then put in computer special effects."

"But if that's the case, why is it called green screen and not blue screen?"

"Because blue screens have a small drawback."

Charlotte shrugged.

"In Hollywood, many actors have blue-green eyes, which are generally more blue. If a blue screen is used and special effects are replaced in post-production, the actor's eyes may be accidentally erased at the same time."

"……All right."

——This reason is indeed reasonable enough, and Keanu is completely speechless.

It was not that he had never experienced green screen photography before, but he never knew that there was such a cheating reason.

“But wouldn’t a green screen have this kind of problem?”

Hearing this, Charlize, who was watching, also became curious.

“You really don’t have that problem with a green screen.”

Charlotte smiled and said,

"For the colors displayed by the human body, red comes from ferrous ions, while green comes from copper. But that kind of copper is toxic to the human body."

"So there won't be anyone with pure green hair or pure green eyes?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"What we often call green eyes, or blond hair, is actually blue-green to a greater extent, more like blue. This color is actually different from pure green. As for the hair -"

"There really aren't any people with green hair."

Charlize understood what Charlotte meant;

"The green hair you usually see nowadays is dyed hair."

"Yes."

Charlotte didn't say anything else, but she was murmuring in her heart——

"What is the mentality of those guys who like to dye their hair the same color as Qingqing Prairie?"

Of course, Charlotte also knows that in the American concept, environmentally friendly colors have no additional meaning.

——So in their TV series, there are a lot of stories about permutations and combinations of environmentally friendly colors...

Keanu Reeves on the side didn't know what Charlotte was muttering in her heart. He just followed Charlotte's words and thought of a question——

"Since blue screens have this kind of problem, why do we still use blue screens for this shooting?"

"Well..."

Charlotte smiled bitterly and shook her head...
