Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Too Real
Xu Wangqiu squatted outside the explosion point, watching Zhao Dan jump from the trampoline again and again, and fall to the ground again, sighing slightly in his heart.
Let a sixty-year-old man do this kind of action repeatedly, Xu Wangqiu felt a little reluctant to go, but there was no other way, Zhou Hanting's sacrifice is one of the most moving scenes in the whole film, which will inevitably let the audience see his face clearly, and he can't use a stand-in, so he can only let Zhao Dan go into battle in person.
Xu Wangqiu hardened his heart to watch Zhao Dan practice, and it was not until he was thoroughly practiced that he spoke: "Uncle Zhao, it's okay! You take a little rest, and then we will shoot live." ”
Zhao Danchong nodded at Xu Wangqiu, didn't care about the dust on the ground, and sat down directly on the side of the road.
Xu Wangqiu picked up the megaphone and shouted: "Now clear the scene, the pyrotechnic team will check the explosion point, and the other groups will prepare for shooting!"
Unrelated personnel withdrew from the safe zone one after another, and the other groups began to prepare for filming. The pyrotechnic team made a final execution check of the jet blaster, turned on the power supply, and then told Xu Wangqiu that the pyrotechnic team was ready.
Today's scene uses jet blasting technology, which is relatively safe, but because the distance between the explosion points is very close, less than 50 centimeters, and there are projectiles, there is still a certain danger. If nothing else, even if the burst soil hits the eyes, it will also hurt.
Xu Wangqiu didn't dare to be careless about this, pulled Zhao Dan aside, and advised: "Uncle Zhao, you must pay attention to it completely, don't get hurt." Also, there are no pads on the ground this time, so take it easy when you fall, don't fall. ”
Zhao Dan said lightly: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”
Yu Ze also admonished again: "Comrade Zhao Dan, after the director shouts 'start', you listen to my command, and when the time comes, I will shout, 1, 2, 3, burst!
Different teams, different pyrotechnics may have different passwords, some like to shout "1, 2, 3, burst!", and some are used to shouting "1, 2, burst!". Although there is only one number, it doesn't sound like much difference, but this number is related to the life and death of an actor.
In 1990, when filming an explosion scene in "Demon Hunters", the pyrotechnician and the actor originally agreed to count one, two, three, but after seeing the actor jump out of the stairs, they pressed the detonation switch. As a result, there was a problem with the cooperation, when he shouted to one or two, Lu Liangwei jumped, Li Saifeng saw Lu Liangwei jumping, so he jumped with him, and the pyrotechnic master saw Lu Liangwei and the two of them jumped, and directly pressed the detonation switch to detonate the gasoline bomb in advance, but Hu Huizhong was still stupidly waiting for the pyrotechnic division to count three, and was suddenly wrapped in the flames of the explosion and was seriously injured.
Therefore, the communication between the actor and the pyrotechnician before filming is very important, and the password must be clearly stated.
After communicating with Zhao Dan, Xu Wangqiu began to order: "Let's shoot it in real time!
Yu Ze replied loudly: "The fireworks group is ready!"
Xu Wangqiu shouted at Zeng Lianping: "The camera is on!"
Zeng Lianping replied loudly: "The camera is on!"
Xu Wangqiu shouted again: "Hit the board!"
The reporter walks up to the camera, points the slate at the camera lens, and fires the slate board.
Xu Wangqiu shouted at Zhao Dan: "Uncle Zhao, how is the situation?"
If the actor says "okay", then it can be officially filmed, and if the actor does not answer, it shows that they are still brewing emotions, even though the film is turning, they must wait for them to be ready.
Zhao Dan replied: "Ready!"
Xu Wangqiu shouted loudly: "Let's start!"
After the password of "start" sounded, Yu Ze began to count: "1, 2, 3, burst!"
At the same time as the word "explosion" exited, Yu Ze suddenly pressed the start switch of the jet blaster.
With a muffled "bang", the projectiles such as dirt and foam installed in the jet blaster instantly erupted, dust flew up, and all kinds of debris flew everywhere.
The people from the Modu Film Bureau have seen the filming of explosion scenes, but they have never seen this kind of explosion scene that directly blows people away. This scene was too real, and there were strips of rags in the explosion fragments, which made them think that Zhao Dan's clothes were blown up, that Zhao Dan was really blown away by the bomb, and that the blood on his body was cold.
After a brief period of shock, an official in his 40s from the Film Bureau was the first to react, shouting at the top of his voice: "Save people!" and others also shouted: "Save people!" "Call an ambulance!" and "Save people!"
Xu Shangchu has been to the crew of "Hoe Rape" a few times, and has seen Xu Wangqiu and them filming blasting scenes, but at this moment, his heart is also up and down, and he can't stop being authentic, but he must not have anything!
Toei's films are very artistic, but their technology is relatively average, and since the end of the 60s, the studio system has collapsed due to the impact of television, and film technology has stagnated even more. In 1980, Akira Kurosawa filmed "Shadow Warrior", which was a huge scene and majestic, but there were also obvious flaws, almost no one fell to the ground when the two armies fired muskets, and there was no effect of being shot at all. In fact, it is a technical problem, Dongying's pyrotechnic technology is not good, and it cannot make the ideal impact point effect.
Akira Kurosawa is still like this, not to mention the crew of "The Scales", they have never seen such a war scene filmed, they are all frightened by the scene in front of them, and they are shouting one by one, and they don't know what they are shouting.
Xiong Jing Qi looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, remembering that Xu Wangqiu said to himself just now You will know it for a while, and now he has really seen it, but is this really no problem, obviously Zhao Dan's clothes were blown up, is he really not injured?
The shouting at the scene made Xu Wangqiu a little annoyed, this scene did not require the recording at the same time, but it was so noisy that it was annoying, and shouted at Zeng Lianping: "Stop, stop!" and shouted at the people in the film bureau: "This is a movie! What are you shouting! What a fuss!"
An official of the Film Bureau saw Xu Wangqiu talking to him with this attitude, and he was immediately unhappy: "What kind of attitude do you have?" The person next to him saw it and quickly persuaded: "Okay, okay! You are so old, what do you have to worry about with a young man." ”
Xie Fei hurriedly said: "Our play is recorded at the same time, and once there are other sounds, the camera can not be used." He also explained: "We use jet blasting technology, which is very safe, Comrade Zhao Dan will be fine, you can rest assured!"
The people in the Film Bureau didn't know what jet blasting technology was, and they didn't care about it at all, and they were slightly relieved to hear that Zhao Dan would be fine. Zhao Shan is a banner in the film industry of the magic capital, and he must have nothing to do.
Xu Wangqiu ignored the people from the Film Bureau, and ran towards Zhao Dan quickly: "Uncle Zhao, how are you, are you injured?"
Zhao Shan sat up from the ground, shook his head and poured out the mud in his ears, took another sip, spit out the mud in his mouth, moved his body, and smiled at Xu Wangqiu: "I'm fine, it's just a little painful, but it's not very painful, it's like someone throwing sand at you." How's that going, did you just take that shot?"
Xu Wangqiu shook his head and said, "You jumped a little late just now, and you have to reshoot." ”
Zhao Dan slapped his thigh: "When the bomb exploded just now, I was a little confused, and I was slow to jump!"
"It's okay, we'll do it again later. Xu Wangqiu comforted and said with a smile, "When it exploded just now, the people from the Film Bureau and the people of Dongying thought that something was wrong, thinking that you were really blown up by the bomb, and they squeaked and screamed one by one, calling for an ambulance and shouting for help." When the movie is released, the audience will definitely be surprised!"
Zhao Dan laughed when he heard this: "The jet blaster is too much like the real thing, if I haven't seen it, I will definitely be shocked when I suddenly see such a scene." ”
The people in the Film Bureau were completely relieved when they heard Zhao Dan's hearty laughter, as long as Zhao Dan was fine.
Kei Kumai and the crew of "The Balance of the Scales" couldn't believe that this was true when they saw Zhao Dan as if he was nothing, Zhao Dan was obviously blown up and flew up, and even his clothes were blown up, how could there be nothing at all?
What kind of technology are they using? Is China's pyrotechnic technology so strong?
Xu Wangqiu chatted with Zhao Dan for a few words, Yu Ze called over and told him that the shot just now needed to be reshot, and then walked with Zhao Dan to the people from the Film Bureau. Yu Ze also knew that he didn't cooperate well just now, Zhao Dan jumped a little late, and immediately called the pyrotechnic team to the explosion point, asked them to clear the debris on the jet detonator, and began to sweep the ground to prepare for the next blasting.
When the leaders of the Film Bureau saw Zhao Dan coming, they stepped forward to ask if Zhao Dan was injured. The crew of "The Balance" also stared at Zhao Dan tightly, and kept looking at him to see if he was really not injured.
When the explosion just now, there were strips of rags flying, and they all thought that Zhao Dan had been blown up; now they saw that Zhao Dan's whole body was intact, and even the corners of his clothes were not damaged at all, and they couldn't help but sigh greatly, this explosion technology was simply to the extent that it was fake.
Kenichi Aoi had never seen such an explosion scene, nor had he seen such a magical blasting technique, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, your explosion technology is really amazing and unbelievable, how did you do it?"
Xu Wangqiu remembered that in his previous life, a friend of his father participated in the filming of "Assembly", and when he was working with the Koreans, the Koreans didn't let him watch it at all, and blasted him out with some explosives, without telling him the formula. Now some people in Dongying asked themselves about pyrotechnic technology, so they decided to pretend to be forced: "This is a new type of technology developed by our country's scientific and technological personnel through painstaking research, and this technology is confidential and cannot be leaked to the outside world, so I can't explain too much to you." ”
Kenichi Aoi really thought it was a secret technique, and hurriedly said: "So that's the case, it's me who is presumptuous!"
Xie Fei next to him almost didn't laugh out loud, Wangqiu, this kid is really a trick to bluff people.
An hour later, the pyrotechnics crew refilled the jet blaster's cylinders with compressed air and filled the iron bucket with various projectiles and dirt, and filming began.
With a muffled "bang", earth, foam stones, rags and other projectiles shot out from the iron bucket, and at the same time, with the help of the trampoline on the ground, Zhao Dan rose into the air and fell backwards, as if he had really been blown away by a grenade.
Although they had already seen the jet blasting technology once and knew that it was fake, the officials of the Modu Film Bureau still couldn't help but marvel, and they all felt that this scene was too real, and it looked like Zhao Dan was really being blown away by a bomb.
The same is true for several Dongying people, although they know that it is fake, they still feel thrilled, and they call out "Sige, Sige".
