Chapter 122: The Real Great Battle

There are two most important scenes in the Gobi Desert, one is a plane snatching at the airport, and the other is a section of snatching jade seals on the train.

For these two scenes, Chen Jiashang, who returned from stealing from the United States, led his team to make a lot of prop models, and one of the two trucks was full of these prop models, all of which were disassembled and could be assembled when used, and there were specially customized costumes.

But these alone are still not enough to shoot the picture that Qiao Feng wants.

But with the help of mainland film studios, it's not a problem.

At this time, each province in the mainland has its own film studio, of course, the scale is large and small, but in short, there are definitely all.

A small studio may not be able to produce a work for a few years, because no one has no money, but a big studio needs people to ask for something, but the money is not enough.

But Qiao Feng has money.

Of course, filming in Dunhuang is indispensable to trouble the local Lanzhou studio to help, but Lanzhou studio is the kind of small studio that asks for people, no one asks for money, and it is not enough to rely on them.

Fortunately, the nearby Xi'an Studio, commonly known as the Western Film Family, is full of talents, many generals, and well-equipped.

Of course, this is not the heyday of Western Film, the strongest thing in Western Film is a few years later, a "Old Well" won the Golden Kirin Award for Best Feature Film at the 2nd Tokyo International Film Festival in 1987, Zhang Guoshi also won the Best Actor at the Tokyo International Film Festival, becoming China's first A-level International Film Festival Actor.

In 1988, Zhang Guoshi won the Golden Bear Award for Best Feature Film at the 38th West Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, and in 1993, the film "Farewell My Concubine" directed by the famous director Cheng Kaige, which was co-invested with Hong Kong film and television companies, won the Palme d'Or for Best Feature Film at the 46th Cannes International Film Festival in France.

Western Film can be said to rely on these international awards, and later Western Film produced the Soul Girl, "Tuya's Marriage" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Among these awards, Zhang Guoshi has won the most awards, and of course, Western Film is also the film studio that has won the most international awards in China.

Xiying is very good, so as soon as he arrived in Dunhuang, Qiao Feng asked Section Chief Yang to find Xiying, of course, the leaders of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency and Qiao Feng said that there was already this in the conditions.

The above has already called down to ask Xiying to assist in cooperation and to exchange and learn more, Xiying naturally does everything, and Qiao Feng is generously willing to spend 500,000 yuan to rent the equipment, personnel, and actors that hire Xiying, even if Xiying is a little unwilling, he will all go back.

Don't think that 500,000 is less, even if 500,000 Hong Kong dollars are a lot in the mainland, let alone RMB, at this time the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is less than two, that is to say, one US dollar is exchanged for one piece of more than two yuan, and 500,000 yuan for Hong Kong dollars is more than one million.

It's enough to make a movie in Hong Kong, not to mention in the mainland, it's enough to make several films.

So, some of the equipment, props and other things that the crew didn't have, Xiying solved them all.

This kind of solution really made the people from Hong Kong look dumbfounded, and it was nothing to provide some guns in the scenes before filming, and the scene of the cow snatching the plane, the military garrison that was directly contacted, was filmed at the airport.

Didn't you want the yellow sand to be everywhere? There was no airport at the airport, it didn't matter, and all the necessary shooting sites were covered overnight with military vehicles pulling sand and soil.

Isn't it necessary to have some foreigners as group performers? Simple, Xi'an is also a big city, and it is not difficult to find a few foreigners.

Hong Kong people have never seen such a big battle, and the filming of the movie actually used the army, tanks, military vehicles, and airplanes to shoot all the real thing, which scared people to death.

But Qiao Feng is very calm, he has seen a lot of movies in China, and he has seen a lot of TV series using the army to assist, originally in time and space, filming the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of people who mobilized the army.

And that's just the army, not to mention the tens of thousands of group performances.

Big scene, in the mainland that's a small meaning.

As long as the local crew is large enough and needs it, the money doesn't need to be spent, just take care of the food.

It's like filming a TV series in Hong Kong, a war of tens of thousands of people, and a general leading a dozen or so small soldiers can be done.

In fact, in Qiao Feng's opinion, this movie uses real planes, and the tank is not a big deal at all just by appearing on the camera, and he is proud that he found the real camera Zhang Guoshi, who has just graduated.

Zhang Guoshi was found by Qiao Feng when he was in Hong Kong, Zhang Guoshi only graduated last year and was assigned to Xiguang Studio, Qiao Feng knew this, so it was easy for Fu Qi to find Zhang Guoshi, and it was even easier for him to come over as a photographer.

Invite Zhang Guoshi to take charge of the camera, it's not that Qiao Feng likes him much, the key is that the picture of this movie is very colorful.

The kind of sky full of fire and clouds like a red glow, the kind of overwhelming yellow sand rolls, so strong and so hot, Qiao Feng is worried that Hong Kong photographers will not be able to shoot the effect he wants.

But Zhang Guoshi is absolutely no problem to take charge of the camera, this big bull is a photographer, and his bold composition, unique lens, and strong sense of color are unique figures in the entire history of Chinese film.

Anyway, Qiao Feng himself has seen those movies of Zhang Guoshi, whether it is a literary film or a later commercial film, what can leave a memory is those beautiful lens languages and those beautiful colors.

And Zhang Guoshi became famous very quickly, and now if you don't invite a few years of red sorghum to shoot, you really can't invite someone to be a photographer in person.

When filming the scene of snatching the plane, Lin Qingxia was wearing an army green woolen officer uniform, her hair was pulled up and she was wearing a boat-shaped military hat, and everyone in the heroic posture looked straight at her.

made Liu Xiaoqin, who was invited to play Jin Sanniang, jealous to death.

Because she is one year younger than Lin Qingxia, she was invited to play a middle-aged woman, although she did not paint wrinkles on her face or anything to increase her age, but after being applied by a professional makeup artist in Hong Kong, she still made her look more than ten years older in her twenties.

The skin is still firm, but anyone can tell that this is a woman.

Looking at Liu Xiaoqin, who was wearing rustic clothes and a headscarf and was standing on the sidelines full of jealousy, Qiao Feng was so happy in his heart that he muttered to himself, let you always pretend to be tender when you are fifty or sixty years old.
