　　In the past weekend, Speed and furious 7, which has swept the world, finally roared into the mainland film market and instantly wrote a series of box office records. The film’s popularity is largely due to the unfortunate death of Paul Walker, one of the core characters in the series, during filming, and "Fast 7" became his screen swan song.

　　Looking back on Paul Walker’s sudden death, the cast of Fast 7, which was still being filmed, was caught off guard, and even once cast a shadow over whether the film could be released as usual. In addition to grief, regret and regret, I believe fans and audiences are more curious. How did Paul deal with the unfinished scenes? Now that you have watched the film, do you recognize "New Paul" on the screen?

At the end of 2013, Vin Diesel released the last photo of him and Paul in the film, but the owner of the lounge chair of the crew was no longer alive, so Quick 7 became the best way to miss Paul.

Paul Walker died in a car accident.

Nearly 20% of the plays were not filmed, and the film production was postponed.

　　At the beginning of September 2013, "Speed ? ? and furious 7" was officially launched in Atlanta, and then the crew went to Colorado, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and other places for filming. Everything went smoothly-until the end of November, when the film had been filmed for more than 80 days, the production process was more than half; The crew also had a holiday on the eve of Thanksgiving, allowing the master to go home and enjoy a rare holiday. However, no one expected that on the afternoon of 30th local time in California, Paul Walker (as a passenger) and his friend Roger rodas were unfortunately involved in an accident while driving a Porsche Carrera GT sports car. The car crashed into a roadside cement lamp post and a tree, and they were killed on the spot.

　　Paul Walker’s sudden death not only made fans around the world grieve, but also caused great losses to the cast of Fast 7 and even to Universal Pictures, because his role as Brian O ‘Conner can be described as one of the absolute protagonists in the whole series. Without him, The Fast and the Furious would no longer be complete. Paul’s death caught everyone off guard, and the follow-up plans of the whole series were all disrupted.

　　After the tragedy, the filmmaker announced the suspension of filming as soon as possible. At that time, it was less than 8 months before the original screening date (July 11, 2014). Obviously, in the absence of an important protagonist, it is impossible to release it as scheduled. On Christmas Eve, Vin Diesel revealed that the film would be postponed until April 2015. Although "Fast 7" continued to be produced, the crew had to face the grim fact that nearly 20% of Paul’s scenes had not been filmed. How to adjust his role reasonably is still a headache.

How to deal with Paul’s unfinished scenes?

Modify the script, ask a brother to invite body double, and use special effects.

　　After being shelved for five months, Fast 7 resumed shooting in April 2014. The remake went very smoothly and was officially finished on July 10th. However, the cloud of Paul’s death still lingers. As the greatest hero of the series, director Lin Yibin said that Paul Walker is gone, so there is no need for him to return. As mentioned above, before his death, Paul only finished 80-85% of the scenes of Speed 7, so how did the crew deal with the rest that were not filmed?

　　After Paul’s death, on the one hand, the crew suspended film production and devoted themselves to mourning; On the other hand, director James Wan and screenwriter chris morgan began to adjust the plot, character setting and story direction of the film, so that the story can continue. It is said that the original idea was that Paul ended up in a car accident and died. However, perhaps it was too tragic, or perhaps Paul’s family was dissatisfied with it. The creator finally revised the story and let Brian retire in the film and live happily with his family. After the script was revised, it not only brought a happy ending to Speed 7, but also kept the possibility of the story’s further development. At the same time, it made Paul’s withdrawal from the "racing family" justified, and Brian on the screen did not die because of Paul’s departure.

In the above picture, we can clearly see the movement of the third brother Cody’s face to capture the light spot, while in the following picture, Cody and Paul are compared after makeup, which is enough to confuse the fake with the real in the action scene of quick editing.

　　Then we entered the shooting stage. In order to restore Paul’s image to the greatest extent, the crew specially recruited his two younger brothers, Caleb Walker and Cody Walker. The former is very similar to Paul in figure, voice and body language. The latter is exactly like Walker in appearance and eyes. Subsequently, Vita special effects, famous for making The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and other films, settled in, and they brought the most advanced motion capture system. In addition, the crew also found four stuntmen with the same figure as Paul to make up some scenes that need to be performed-after all, Paul’s two brothers are physically similar to Paul, and they are not professional actors.

　　Therefore, the two brothers Paul helped Vita complete the collection of physiological data, and four professional stuntmen were responsible for the professional movements on the screen. Then, by editing the video materials of Paul in the first five episodes of the series (editor’s note: Paul did not appear in the third episode), and finally combining the shooting angle and lighting skills, a realistic digital new "Paul Walker" was born.

　　It is worth mentioning that Robin Senfeld, CEO of The Mill, another London special effects studio involved in the production of "Paul’s Rebirth", revealed that "the resurrection of Paul this time is very similar to the production of" oliver reed’s Rebirth "in Gladiator that the company participated in 16 years ago."

At the end of the film, almost all the above techniques were used in the beach scene. We can see from Figure 3-5 that two brothers and stuntmen went into battle one after another, and combined with the angle and lens switching, the perfect filming effect of Figure 1-2 was finally realized.

"Resurrection of Paul" is flawless.

Can you see which scenes in the film are made up?

　　As Paul Walker’s screen swan song, such a curtain call drama can be described as complete. Although there are still many shocking action scenes, we can feel that the writers have been deliberately weakening Paul’s brave side, but highlighting his image as a good man who stays at home and is a loving father. Especially at the end of the film, James Wan’s sensational splicing of Paul’s previous images can be described as a profound and touching perfect memory.

　　Judging from the final film, the technical team successfully completed the task of "resurrecting Paul", which can basically be said to be seamless. Of course, if you observe carefully enough, it is not difficult to find some make-up scenes. The most obvious place is the scene at the end of the film where Paul plays with his family on the beach (above). We can see that Brian on the screen seems to be much older, and his figure is not as tall and straight as before.

Caleb’s figure can be seen vaguely in the cliff car-picking scene.

　　As for the other shots, it may take some effort. For example, in the Caucasus mountains and the Los Angeles signal tower at the end of the film, you can see "not so real" Paul. Especially in the first climax of the film, Brian jumps off the cliff and grabs the rear of Letty’s car. Although the close-up shot that appeared in the first preview is fleeting, we can find from the screenshots that this "Paul" has lost a lot of weight in his cheeks, but it is very similar to his second brother Caleb.

　　In addition, if you are a die-hard fan of Speed ? ? 6 series, you should easily find out the pictures taken from previous episodes: for example, Paul on the beach in Abu Dhabi, from the scene of Brian chatting with Don in Speed ? ? 6 (Figure 1); There is also Paul, who looks at Tang at the end of the film, who re-edited the scene of four people driving a police car in Rio (Figure 2).

　　The curtain of Speed 7 has fallen, Brian has found his home in life, and Don still needs to continue to fight. However, no matter how ups and downs the film plot will be in the future, The Fast and the Furious, which belongs to Paul Walker, has ended, and the scenes have already been fixed in the hearts of fans …

At the end of the film, Tang and Brian drive up the fork in the road, which coincides with the poster of "Fast 7" made by fans before. May all be well with Paul in heaven.

　　Yesterday, Zou Tao hired two legal advisers (from left to right, respectively, Liang Qiming, Zou Tao and Ding Yuefeng) for the "10,000-person house purchasing group".

Zou Tao launched a campaign to buy houses for 10,000 people.

Shanghai residents have the purchasing power of at least 3 billion yuan.

　　Expert opinion

　　Want to "cut the house price" by buying houses with uneven conditions?

　　Difficult!

　　Li Yaozhi, general manager of Zhongyuan Real Estate Shenzhen, said that it is a "good thing" to have a "group of 10,000 people buying houses" in Shenzhen, which sends a signal to the market that people are confident in buying houses. Some people have joined the platform of "10,000 people buying houses", which shows that people are beginning to realize that the housing prices in Shenzhen have dropped to a certain level, and they want to live in Shenzhen. It is a good thing to organize a group purchase of 10,000 people to fight for the best interests with "real estate developers".

　　"However, there are problems in the organization and operation of Zou Tao’s’ 10,000-person house purchasing group’, and the operational risk is great." Li Yaozhi said, first of all, the organization is loose, the number of members of its "10,000-person house purchasing group" and the authenticity of their purchase intention are unknown, and the organizational ability and purpose of Zou Tao and his volunteers are unknown. In this case, it is hard to concentrate people with different economic strength and different purchase needs and "bargain" with developers! Even a well-known real estate agent registered legally in Shenzhen, faced with hundreds of clients, must know the real needs of buying families "one-on-one" and negotiate carefully to make a deal. It is difficult for Zou Tao to negotiate to buy a house just by sending text messages or entering some information such as name, work unit and purchase area on the Internet!

　　Secondly, buying a house and buying a group is not uncommon in Shenzhen. Previously, Huawei, Foxconn and other well-known large enterprises have organized internal employees to buy houses, but developers have always "disliked" because these large enterprises have too many conditions for buying houses. Real estate developers generally make a profit of 2 percentage points more than the market price for such large enterprises. It is difficult for Zou Tao to "cut down" the house price by virtue of the "ten thousand people buying houses" with uneven conditions!

　　With good intentions, you may get little.

　　In addition, Zou Tao now organizes a "10,000-person house purchasing group" for free to "serve" the people, but the obligation of free means "zero responsibility". If one day Zou and his volunteers buy their own houses and they withdraw, who will continue to negotiate for the "10,000-person buying group"? I am afraid that citizens who join the "10,000-person house purchase group" with good wishes may eventually become tools used by others.

　　Finally, Li Yaozhi believes that there will definitely be some developers willing to talk about group buying with Zou and others, but this is a "game". Even if the developer is willing to make a profit to Zou, it is definitely "minimal", because if there is a "big profit", it is much more effective to announce the whole market than to announce this small group of people.

　　Li Yaozhi said that according to his understanding, at present, some "white-collar workers" in Shenzhen have begun to consider buying a house, but they are worried that house prices will fall. After the Olympic Games, there will be many properties to be put on the market in Shenzhen. A property in Longgang District of Shenzhen has put forward the concept of "letting property prices return to 2005". Therefore, he still believes that if there are no major changes, some real estate developers in Shenzhen will definitely be unable to carry on. In September and October this year, there will be a "second wave of price reduction" in Shenzhen.

　　Lawyer questioned

　　Is it suspected of breaking the law to organize a "10,000-person housing group purchase"?

　　Jin Yan, a lawyer of Guangdong Oriental Jinyuan Law Firm, first questioned that Zou Tao’s "10,000-person housing group purchase" was suspected of violating the law in many places. First, unregistered organizations are suspected of violating the law. Houses are special commodities. Different locations, properties, prices and orientations make it impossible for’ 10,000-person housing group purchase’ to reach a one-time purchase agreement with a developer, so’ 10,000-person housing group purchase’ will exist for a long time. In this way, although Zou Tao claimed not to make profits, he provided an information disclosure platform, which was organized, planned and existed for a long time. It was illegal for such an organization not to register. According to the State Council’s Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Social Organizations, activities in the name of social organizations without registration shall be banned by the registration administration organ.

　　Second, group buying may lead to the disclosure of citizens’ information. Zou Tao did not disclose the name of the developer who negotiated with it on the grounds of privacy, and how much the house sales that had been reached were below the market price, and did not provide any information for supervision, so its authenticity was doubtful.

　　Shanghai 2000-person house purchasing group collectively bargained.

　　Maximum drop of 10%

　　On August 2nd, a house-viewing group with a total number of nearly 2,000 people visited the house collectively in 10 routes in Shanghai. Wherever they went, almost all real estate developers gave corresponding discounts to welcome guests.

　　The people who look at the house have the purchasing power of at least 3 billion yuan.

　　The "Sanlin Line" car was originally scheduled to leave at 9: 00 a.m., but less than 8: 30 a.m., many owners were waiting at the meeting place, among which young people accounted for the majority, and some middle-aged couples walked together. Some people were holding printed real estate information in their hands and had begun to study it.

　　According to reports, the number of applicants for the collective house-viewing is close to 5,000. Due to the number limit, nearly 2,000 prospective buyers will finally make a trip. These buyers will go to 40 properties to see the house in multiple routes.

　　The reporter followed the "Sanlin Line" to see the house, including Vanke Golden Yazhu, Golden Mile, Jindiwan Valley and Jinyi Riverside. The Sanlin plate is the hottest one in this house-seeing line, and 8 buses are arranged for a single line to carry passengers.

　　"Rigid demand still exists." Yang Wenting, organizer of the house-viewing activity and general manager of SouFun.com, estimated that the house-viewing crowd had at least 3 billion yuan of purchasing power.

　　The reporter learned that this activity is based on SouFun’s "SouFun Card" activity, which is similar to a house-buying alliance, and the organizers will negotiate a certain preferential margin. Organizers claim that cardholders can enjoy the "lowest price in the city".

　　Developers show clear discounts.

　　The viewing group was warmly welcomed by the developers. The sales office has prepared drinks and snacks. The developers who participated in it all showed a clear discount range to attract customers. A Songjiang property with the largest discount rate directly reduced the price by 88,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of 10%.

　　The reporter learned that after the collective house inspection, a larger group purchase activity will be launched in the later stage. After learning about a single property, the organizer will focus on a group of buyers to organize group purchases for properties under the name of a specific developer. Yang Wenting said that gemdale and others have expressed their willingness to receive group buying customers, and they will give more preferential treatment.

　　There was also a phenomenon of group buying in 2005.

　　On the same day, in addition to the signing of a property in Nanhui on the spot, most property buyers were still cautious and did not decide to buy a house on the spot.

　　In 2005, there was a phenomenon of group buying in Shanghai. At that time, the Shanghai market was quite similar to today’s market. The sales volume of first-hand houses plummeted and the transaction was sluggish. However, this kind of group buying did not last long, and individual real estate developers began to cut prices sharply under the circumstance of increasing financial pressure, and group buying lost its meaning.

　　At present, the Shanghai property market, although the transaction volume in July has dropped to about 30% in the same period last year, has not seen a significant price reduction by developers. Judging from the situation of this house inspection, developers and buyers are in a stalemate of mutual testing, and the effect of breaking the ice by group buying for property market sales is still unknown.
