After the filming of the prisoner carjacking scene, Xu Wangqiu immediately began to prepare for the filming of the war scene. He had filmed more complex war scenes before, but that was forty years later, and the technical conditions were much stronger than now. In terms of difficulty, "Hoe Rape" is the most difficult war scene since he started filming.

Regarding the war scene of "Hoe Rape", Xu Wangqiu is most worried about safety. After all, he was planted on fireworks in his last life, and he didn't want to come a second time. Fireworks and explosions are certainly dangerous, but they're not that dangerous, and they don't really do it with their heads in their heads.

In war films, TNT explosives are generally used for explosions that are particularly distant and powerful, gasoline bombs are used for explosions that are slightly closer and more powerful, and explosives are generally used for close-range explosions.

There are two main types of bombs that use explosives, one is a dirt bomb and the other is a charcoal bomb.

The earth bomb is made of black gunpowder, wrapped in a sleeve, put bricks and other projectiles made of foam, cover it with a layer of soil, and detonate it with a power supply.

The charcoal bomb is also made of black powder, except that instead of a projectile such as foam, a packet of charcoal powder is placed on top of the gunpowder, and then the soil is filled on it. When the explosives are detonated, the toner burns in the air, forming a fireball. Many crews in China like to use charcoal bombs, because there will be fireballs after the explosion, which looks good. However, charcoal bombs are more dangerous than soil bombs and are more likely to injure people. Chen Daomin was injured by a charcoal bomb when he filmed "One and Eight".

Xu Wangqiu and the others used a combination of jet blasters and earth bombs, using jet blasters at close range and earth bombs at a little distance. From a security point of view, security is relatively high, but Xu Wangqiu still doesn't dare to be careless.

The day before the filming of the explosion scene started, Xu Wangqiu took all the crew members to the Chedun base to conduct a special rehearsal for filming.

Xu Wangqiu thought that after the theme park plan he wrote was reported, it would take at least a year and a half to get results. The streets of "Hoe Rape" can only be built in the factory area of the Shadow Factory. Unexpectedly, not long after the plan was submitted, just in time for the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the national work center shifted from class struggle to economic construction, and the city quickly approved the theme park plan. The construction of the Shadow Factory began in mid-December and was successfully completed by late March.

Although it is also a film and television base, it is also in Chedun, the street taken by "Hoe Rape" is very far from the Chedun film and television base in Xu Wangqiu's memory. The crew of "Hoe Rape" only has 180,000 funds, and it is impossible to build a luxurious building, nor can it build a dreamy sense of a ten-mile foreign field. How much money is used to do how much, the crew built an ordinary street, most of which are bungalows, and the houses are basically empty shells, except for the realistic face of the door, there is nothing inside.

The streets of "Hoe Rape" are not grand enough, but there is no shortage of Republic of China style. The walls of the streets are plastered with posters in the style of the Republic of China, as well as advertisements. The walls have also been worn, and you can still see the gray marks left by the rain washing and soaking.

The war scenes of "Hoe Rape" are a little different from "The Assembly", the shots of "The Assembly" are particularly short, while "The Hoe Rape" is closer to "Saving Private Ryan", with an average length of more than 6 seconds, which can uninterruptedly show the whole process of the war, so that the audience can unconsciously integrate into the camera and the film, so that the audience does not have the feeling of being forced to accept the picture.

One of the troublesome things about the long shot time is that the layout time of the explosion point will be very long, and it takes a long time to shoot a shot, and if there is a problem, it will take two or three hours to install the explosion point, so it is necessary to rehearse repeatedly before the official shooting.

Xu Wangqiu plans to shoot a long shot tomorrow, and the whole shot has more than one point. The hoe squad prepares to ambush the traitor, but it is not expected to be a trap for the enemy. At the beginning, the deputy captain Xu Zhuguo was killed by the enemy, and immediately afterwards, the hoe team was fiercely attacked by enemy rifles, machine guns and grenades. This shot is the content of filming after Xu Zhuguo was killed, the hoe team was fiercely attacked by the enemy and began to fight back.

Since it is a long shot, there are many explosion points, and the safety issue cannot be ignored.

Xu Wangqiu felt that only by going through every link could he feel at ease. He pointed to a bombing point in front of him and asked Yu Ze, the pyrotechnician: "Do you have any problems with this soil, have you carefully sifted it?"

The soil used in the explosion scene cannot be ordinary dirt, because ordinary dirt often contains stones and mud blocks, and stones and mud blocks can often hurt people if they are blown away. Therefore, the pyrotechnic team must carefully sift the soil through a sieve, and select both the stones and the mud blocks, leaving a very fine soil. Many domestic crews are not careful in the process of filming due to the rush of construction, and there are often stones that hurt people.

Yu Ze nodded solemnly: "These soils are specially transported from outside, and we have sifted them repeatedly. ”

Xu Wangqiu did not speak, but walked to the bombing point and grabbed a handful of soil, rubbing it vigorously in his hand, it was indeed very fine soil, there were no clods of soil, let alone stones; he walked to the second explosion point, grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it vigorously; he checked several bombs, and there was indeed no problem, and the soil was carefully sifted.

Xu Wangqiu said with satisfaction: "Safety is no trivial matter, if something really happens, we can't afford to take this responsibility." We prefer to shoot slowly and take a long time to prepare, but we must ensure that every link is foolproof and there are no mistakes. ”

Yu Ze said confidently: "Don't worry, we will definitely do it foolproof." ”

Xu Wangqiu nodded slightly: "I believe in your strength." The test explosion is done, what is the safe distance?"

Before the start of filming of the explosion scene, the pyrotechnic engineer of the regular crew will conduct a test explosion, remove all the staff and actors, and conduct 2 to 3 test explosions, according to the blasting results, measure the scattering range of projectiles and soil, and take the average of several test explosions to determine the safety zone of the actors. This avoids injury to the actor due to underestimation of the power of the blast.

Yu Ze nodded and said, "We have done five test explosions, and the soil bomb is completely one meter away." ”

Xu Wangqiu was immediately relieved when he heard the test explosion five times: "Okay, let's start moving next and let the actors get familiar with the explosion point." He beckoned several actors from the hoe team over: "Everyone listen to Master Yu tell you the precautions, and then take you to your place." Everyone must remember their own running route and never run wrong. The position is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears!"

After Yu Ze explained to the actors clearly where the safe area was in the venue, where the explosion point was buried, and where was the dangerous area within the explosion range, he called all the people in the pyrotechnic team over, arranged a pyrotechnician at each explosion point, and then asked the actors to run their positions. After Zhao Dan and the hoe team ran into place, the person standing on the bombing point used his mouth to imitate the sound of the explosion to simulate the detonation.

Zhao Dan and the others ran five or six times in a row, and they all memorized the fried points. At this time, Xu Wangqiu called the action director over and asked the action director to design corresponding movements for them according to the actors' movements. This scene is a battle scene, involving tactical actions, and it must be designed with an action director, and it is impossible to run around. After the actors memorized their respective movements, Xu Wangqiu called the gunsmith over and asked the gunsmith to issue the gun to the actors, so that they could practice moving with the gun.

Zhao Dan and the others practiced all morning, moving over and over again, and doing movements over and over again. Xu Wangqiu, the pyrotechnician, and the action designer repeatedly corrected their movements and movements, and Zeng Lianping was not idle, carrying a camera to capture their movements. Zhao Dan knew that this matter could not be joked, and they did not complain at all, and rehearsed it over and over again.

After lunch, Zhao Dan and the others rested for an hour, and the rehearsal began again. Xu Wangqiu called the gunsmith over and asked him to send the empty cartridges to the actors who would shoot in this scene, and the actors who could not shoot would not fire.

Although the empty cartridge does not have a warhead, it is still lethal and can cause damage to people within one or two meters. After the gunsmith gave the bullet to the actor's hand, he repeatedly told several actors that the muzzle of the gun should always be pointed at the ground, not at people.

Unlike most of the guns made in later generations of movies that were not loaded with bullets, they pretended to be filled with flames in the gun, and the muzzle of the trigger could be sprayed, or they could directly use fake robbing, and add flames to the muzzle through special effects in the later stage. Nowadays, there is no technology to make movies and special effects, and there is no extra money to make a large number of prop guns, so it is the easiest and fastest choice to use the real guns eliminated by the troops to empty the cartridges.

Zhao Dan and the others received special firearms training before the start of the movie, and they were very proficient in the loading and exiting of bullets, gun inspection, the use of insurance, firing and the basic movements of holding the gun. After receiving the empty cartridge, they skillfully loaded the bullets, pointed the muzzle of the gun to the ground, and walked to their respective positions, ready to rehearse according to the actual shooting process.

Soon all the staff were in place, and the pyrotechnics removed the red flag planted on the explosion point and turned on the power supply of the explosion point.

Xu Wangqiu stood outside the performance area and ordered loudly: "Let's rehearse with bullets!

"Power on!" "Play the board!" "Let's go!"

As the "start" command sounded, the actors immediately moved, and Zeng Nianping carried the camera and chased them for filming. Zhao Dan reacted very quickly, quickly hid by the wall, and shouted at the hoe team: "There is an ambush! Pay attention to concealment! Quickly conceal!"

Xu Wangqiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the actors' movements, and his mouth shouted at the same time: "Machine gun!

According to the plot of the movie, the enemy's machine guns on the upper floors will strafe at them, and the bullets will shoot up columns of smoke when they hit the ground. However, it is a rehearsal now, and there will definitely be no explosion point, only the pyrotechnic artist imitates the effect of the machine gun with his mouth, which looks quite funny. No one laughed, everyone stared intently at the performers in the performance area.

When Xu Wangqiu saw that Zhang Tielin was in place, he immediately shouted: "Zhang Tielin! Blood bag!" Zhang Tielin's body shook, pretending that he had been shot, and then gritted his teeth, raised his pistol at the enemy, and pulled the trigger. Xu Wangqiu shouted again: "Zhang Tielin! Xu Wangqiu immediately turned his head and shouted at Xie Yuan: "Xie Yuan!

Xie Yuan screamed "ah", pretended to be shot, and fell straight down......

Although Xu Wangqiu and the pyrotechnician have said that they can ensure everyone's safety, none of the actors present have filmed a war scene so close to the explosion point, especially after the gunshots rang out, many people became flustered, and even forgot where they should run.

When this scene ended, Xu Wangqiu shook his head and shouted at the actors present: "Rest for ten minutes, and continue rehearsing after ten minutes!"

Gunshots continued on the set throughout the afternoon, and Xu Wangqiu's roar shook the sky. Under the command of Xu Wangqiu, the actors ran back and forth between the bombing points, running over and over again. ran until five o'clock in the afternoon, and after running more than ten times, Xu Wangqiu was finally satisfied.

Looking at the actors who were as tired as dogs and couldn't stop sticking out their tongues and panting, Xu Wangqiu smiled and said: "Everyone has worked hard today, now go back to dinner, have a good rest after dinner, and we will officially shoot tomorrow!"
