"What I saw in a magazine in a foreign bookstore was an interview with a foreign pyrotechnic artist that mentioned this issue. Xu Wangqiu couldn't explain his understanding of the special effects of fireworks, so he could only talk nonsense.

Yu Ze heard an article about a foreign pyrotechnic engineer and asked, "What's the name of the magazine?"

Where could Xu Wangqiu say his name, he shook his head with a smile: "I forgot." ”

When Yu Ze heard Xu Wangqiu say this, he didn't want to ask again, so he could only secretly say that it was a pity, and then continued to introduce the relevant knowledge of jet blasters to everyone, including the explosion effect, usage techniques, and precautions.

After listening to Yu Ze's introduction, Xu Wangqiu began to talk about his opinions: "I watched the 1974 version of "Southern Expedition and Northern War" two days ago, and the close-range explosion effect in the movie is good, but I think it is not good enough. I saw that when the American pyrotechnics introduced the jet blasting technology, they said that in addition to loading soil in the iron bucket, they would also put some bricks made of foam, rags and other things as projectiles. It is not possible for the bomb to explode only to blow up the earth, it will definitely blow up a lot of mess. With some safer projectiles, the explosion will be better and more realistic. ”

When Yu Ze heard Xu Wangqiu's words, he couldn't help but say, "Your requirements are too high, we haven't filmed like this before." But technically, we can do it, but it costs money, and we need to do special experiments. ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that fireworks could not be joked, and the most important thing in "Hoe Rape" was the war scene, and said directly: "We can definitely guarantee the cost of fireworks, we have prepared a fee of 20,000 yuan, which should be enough, if it is not enough, we still have reserves." ”

Yu Ze was relieved when he heard Xu Wangqiu say this: "Since there is no problem with the funds, there must be no problem." ”

In the following week, Xu Wangqiu communicated with Yu Ze in detail and had an in-depth discussion on the issue of fireworks in "Hoe Rape". When filming war scenes, it is very important for the director to communicate with the pyrotechnician. Only by understanding the director's intentions and understanding the situation on the scene can the pyrotechnician determine what kind of explosive device to use, and calculate the blasting range and the safety distance of the actors. If something goes wrong in any of these areas, it can be dangerous. In foreign countries, pyrotechnicians begin to make the necessary preparations for the filming of the film five or six months before the start of filming, and formulate the corresponding plan.

If there is something wrong with other departments of the crew, it may not be too big, but once there is a problem with the fireworks, the actors will be injured at least and people will be killed at worst. There are too many such examples: in 2008, the crew of "My Leader, My Group" had an accident, resulting in one death and two injuries; in 2009, the crew of the TV series "Sorghum is Red" accidentally exploded explosives, causing burns to the two leading actors, and in 2010, the fireworks crew of the TV series "I Have a Date with Spring" made a mistake, and the leading actors Selina and Yu Haoming were seriously burned......

Even Xu Wangqiu himself was planted on the fireworks, which is very funny to say, he made a costume war movie, and did not use guns, just to create an atmosphere and let the pyrotechnics set off smoke. But the pyrotechnic master ignored a problem, when the number of smoke cakes piled up in the iron container reached a certain number, it may explode under the action of instantaneous high temperature, and the quality of the smoke cake was problematic, so Xu Wangqiu was tragic and was blown up in 1967.

"Hoe Rape" has very high requirements for pyrotechnics, in addition to explosions that are very close to the actors, they also require explosions to have three-dimensional effects. In the past, domestic war films generally bombed the actors' backs, but "Hoe Rape" requires the actors to have an explosion point in front of them. In this way, when the audience watches, they will feel the soil rushing towards the camera, and the sense of bringing in will be stronger.

"The Hoe Rape" is demanding and difficult in terms of pyrotechnics, so you must give enough time for the pyrotechnician to prepare, otherwise the slightest mistake may cause a catastrophe. Xu Wangqiu planted the fireworks once, and he definitely didn't want it to happen a second time.

After communicating with Xu Wangqiu and them repeatedly, the pyrotechnic team led by Yu Ze rushed to the magic capital with equipment and began to prepare for the filming of the movie, and Xu Wangqiu and they were not idle, and continued to run around for the movie.

At the beginning of January, Xu Wangqiu received a movie from Xu Sangchu from the magic capital. Xu Sangchu told Xu Wangqiu that after a senior of Tek heard the story of the Magic Shadow Factory's preparation to shoot Tek's hoe rape, he read the script and made some suggestions for the script. The senior spoke highly of "Hoe Rape", but he felt that there were a few lines in it that were a bit inappropriate, and suggested that they be modified. Xu Wangqiu agreed without thinking about it, the movie is about Teko's hoeing, if Teko's people don't approve of it, it will be a joke.

In fact, it is not a new thing for the movie to be asked by relevant leaders, when the old "Southern Expedition and Northern War" was being prepared, General Su Yu, who had commanded the East China Battlefield, knew about it, so he summoned the director to Beiping and personally explained to them the military and political situation and the battle situation on the East China Battlefield. After that, Marshal Lin Biao revised the lines read by Master Chen Ge in the movie, and Marshal Chen Yi also changed several dialogues in the script.

It was the middle of January, and universities were closing for the holidays. Xu Wangqiu also had to put down his work and prepare to go home for the New Year. After being away from home for half a year, Xu Wangqiu was really homesick. He believes that no matter how the times change, reunion is always the warmest dream in the hearts of Chinese, and home is the eternal spiritual destination of Chinese.

When Xu Wangqiu arrived home, only his sister Xu Wangbei was at home. The little girl was doing her homework in the house, and she was overjoyed to see her brother come back. She hugged Xu Wangqiu's arm and couldn't help but be coquettish: "Second brother, I miss you! Do you miss me?" and stood in front of Xu Wangqiu and gestured proudly: "Second brother, do you think I've grown taller?"

Xu Wangqiu touched Xu Wangbei's head and praised: "Not bad, not bad! Wangbei has changed from a little beauty to a big beauty!" He opened his bag and took out a red cotton coat from it: "The second brother said that he will buy you new clothes when he comes back for the Spring Festival, and the second brother didn't lie to you, right?"

Xu Wangbei said happily, "Thank you, second brother", and compared in front of the mirror with the cotton clothes, looking very happy.

Father Xu Zhuwen, mother Xie Chunhong, and elder brother Xu Wangchuan were also very happy to see Xu Wangqiu; after Xu Wangqiu took out the gift, they were even happier. These things were bought by Xu Wangqiu from the Friendship Store in a relationship, but they couldn't be bought on the market at all, and they cost hundreds of yuan. Xu Wangqiu didn't care, after "The Rape" passed the review of the Magic Studio, he got 1,500 yuan for the manuscript, and when the movie started, he could get 500 yuan for the sub-shot as a director.

After Xie Chunhong accepted Xu Wangqiu's filial piety clothes, she scolded him with a straight face. It's not that Xu Wangqiu is blamed for spending money to buy things for his family, but that he wrote the script "Mom Loves Me Again".

Since the drama "Mom Loves Me Again" was released in Chengdu in October, it has caused a great sensation, and the venue is full, and it can be said that it is difficult to find a ticket. "Xichuan Daily" commented on this, "Mom Loves Me Again" made the whole Rongcheng cry. Xie Chunhong was very happy at first, and when she met people, she said, "It was written by my son!"

But soon rumors appeared, saying that "Mom Loves Me Again" is a true story, Xu Zhuwen is Lin Guorong in the story, Xu Zhuwen and Qiu Xia are a couple, but they disliked Qiu Xia's black five identity, so they abandoned the pregnant Qiu Xia and married Xie Chunhong as his wife. Weidong is Xu Wangchuan, who originally depended on Qiuxia for his life, but was taken away by Xu Zhuwen and Xie Chunhong. The rumor-mongers also came up with "evidence" that Xu Wangchuan and Xie Chunhong are not at all alike, which fully shows that Xu Wangchuan was not born to Xie Chunhong.

Xie Chunhong was really angry, saying that Xu Zhuwen had married Qiu Xia, and that Xu Zhuwen had abandoned Qiu Xia, she didn't particularly care, but she said that Xu Wangchuan was not her own, so she really couldn't bear it!

After listening to his mother's complaint, Xu Wangqiu couldn't cry or laugh, and the imagination of the masses of the people was too rich! With such a wonderful plot, writing a novel in Jinjiang would definitely be popular! He looked at Xie Chunhong and then at Xu Wangchuan, and said with a smile: "Mom, don't say it! The eldest brother is not like you at all, is he born in Qiuxia?"

Xie Chunhong's slap beckoned: "I'll kill you stinky boy!"

Xu Wangchuan was also unhappy: "Wangqiu, I decided to hand over your broadcast manuscript fee to my mother for safekeeping!"

In the eyes of parents, their son must not eat well when he goes out, and he will not wear clothes well. Now that my son is coming home, I must make it delicious and let my son make up for it. However, due to the late hour, it is impossible to buy chickens and fish. Xie Chunhong said to Xu Zhuwen that he would buy an old hen tomorrow and make up for Wangqiu.

After dinner, Xu Wangqiu originally wanted to go to see his master, but it was cold at night, and he didn't want to go out much, so he decided to go again tomorrow. He dug out the information of "Hoe Rape", sat at his desk, and began to think about the movie.

Xu Wangbei stretched out his head and glanced at the information in Xu Wangqiu's hand, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, have you watched "Wangxiang"?"

Xu Wangqiu heard Xu Wangbei ask "Wangxiang", and said strangely: "Of course I watched it, did you also watch it?"

Xu Wangbei said "um" and whispered: "The school organized us to watch it." Second brother, they said that the actress who played Aqi in "Wangxiang" committed suicide, is it true?"

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that it was appropriate for the school to organize a little girl to watch this kind of film? But if you think about it carefully, it is good to watch "Wangxiang", and a friend once complained to him that when he was a child, the school organized to watch "Black Sun 731", which left a deep shadow in his heart.

Xu Wangqiu didn't know what the name of the actress who played Aqi was, but he remembered that when Cui Yongyuan later filmed "Movie Legend", he also interviewed the actress who played Aqi, and he definitely didn't commit suicide, so he said: "People live well, who do you listen to?"

Xu Wangbei said very seriously: "What our classmates said was said by his brother-in-law who was a big cadre. He said that the actress who played Aki was ashamed of herself after acting in this film, and she committed suicide! Do you think, she played such a shameless role, who will want her in the future, and how will she marry in the future? There must be many people who say that she is shameless, and then she commits suicide. ”

Xu Wangqiu couldn't cry or laugh, but he also understood that the little girl had never seen a movie like "Wangxiang" before, and his heart was greatly shocked, and he chuckled: "The movie is fake." Do you think, is Nan Batian in "Red Detachment of Women" particularly bad, is Hu Hansan in "Shining Red Star" particularly bad, and are these actors all alive? In fact, they are not only fine, but they are also very respected actors. The same is true of the actor who plays Aki. In the future, when my brother makes a movie, he will take you to the set to see it, and you will know what it is like to make a movie. ”

Xu Wangbei said excitedly when he heard this: "Really, second brother, don't you lie to me?"

Xu Wangqiu said in a reproachful tone: "You girl really has no conscience, since you were a child, when did the second brother deceive you?"

Xu Wangbei grinned and said, "No, no." Second brother is the best for me!"
