Xu Wangqiu looked up at the filming area, the tanks and soldiers participating in the show were all ready to go, and the fireworks team had already lit up the four smoke points, igniting billowing black smoke. He took a deep breath, took a walkie-talkie, and shouted, "Tanks go!"

After hearing the command, the tank began to move forward, and the soldiers, under the cover of the tank, with guns in their hands, shouted forward. Behind the phalanx of tanks, five rows of soldiers formed a skirmish line, shouting and charging forward. The roar of tank motors, gunfire, and the shouts of soldiers mingled and soared into the sky.

Xu Wangqiu stared closely at the monitor, observing the movement of the soldiers. In the upper third of the picture, there is a row of soldiers, almost twenty of them, holding guns, shouting and charging forward, and the whole picture is like someone holding a brush and writing a big "one" on the ground. He took a soft breath and shouted hard, "Go!"

With this "start", the camera on the ropeway moves forward quickly under the control of the operator. At the same time, the five photographers also carried the camera and began to shoot nervously.

Xu Wangqiu held the walkie-talkie, staring at the monitor screen with a solemn expression, ready to give orders at any time. On Xu Wangqiu's right, Yu Ze held the walkie-talkie in his right hand and put it to his mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on the monitor screen, ready to issue an instruction to detonate the explosive point at any time. On Xu Wangqiu's left, Yuan Heping also stared closely at the monitor, waiting expectantly to see the amazing scene of hundreds of explosion points.

In the monitor frame, the soldiers who are advancing in a line line slide rapidly towards the bottom of the frame as the camera moves forward. At the same time, a line of soldiers appears at the top of the frame, rapidly moving down as the camera advances. The whole picture has also changed from the original "one" to the "two" character.

As the first group of soldiers slides down to the bottom third of the frame, another group of soldiers appears at the top, sliding downward as the camera advances. Soon the picture changed from the original "two" to the "three" character.

At this moment, the explosion points exploded one after another, forming pillars of earth five or six meters high. Most of these bombs are charcoal bombs, which are relatively close to the actors, and the bombs use air explosion technology, but they contain flashing powder packets, which can produce fire after exploding. Because the explosion of a cannonball is not the same as the explosion of a grenade, the explosion of a grenade does not have a fire, but the explosion of a cannonball has a fire. In order to create a realistic effect, even the use of air blast technology must be added to the medicine pack.

The bottom group of soldiers quickly slides out of the camera lens and disappears to the bottom of the frame, but just as they are drawing, another group of soldiers appears at the top of the frame. There are still three rows of soldiers in the picture, but there are more explosions in the picture. As the explosion points exploded, the earthen pillars sprayed out from the ground like fountains, six or seven meters high, and dust flew all over the sky.

Soon the second platoon of soldiers disappears at the bottom of the camera, while the fourth squad appears at the top, accompanied by a tank that has been hit. It wasn't a real tank, it was a model of a tank made by Factory 132. At this moment, the model tank was burning with black and red flames, and billowing smoke was spreading into the air.

With a thud, the tank exploded again, and a black cloud rose into the air, with scarlet flames tumbling in between, like a blood-stained black rose blooming in midair. At the same time, Zhang Yimou carried the camera to shoot this thrilling scene.

The third group of soldiers quickly disappears at the bottom of the frame, and the fifth team of soldiers appears at the top of the frame. The explosions at the explosion point are also more intensive, with some of these bombs exploding inside the camera and some exploding outside the camera. The explosion inside the camera naturally doesn't need to be said, and the explosion outside the camera is mainly shot by Zhang Yimou.

Just as the fourth team of soldiers was about to disappear from the bottom of the frame, Yuan Heping saw the group of tanks appearing at the top of the picture, and the soldiers who followed the tanks and marched forward in tandem. At the same time as the tank, there was more intense enemy fire, and the explosion points were detonated one after another, and the dust was all over the sky, and black smoke was billowing up.

With a bang, a fast-advancing tank was concentrated by the "enemy", and billowing black smoke rose from the tank. Immediately afterward, under heavy artillery fire, another tank was hit by enemy fire and stopped in the black smoke.

Soon the second group of tanks appeared in the camera lens, and Xu Wangqiu, who had been very relaxed, sat up straight, turned his head to look at Yu Ze and said solemnly: "Old Yu, this lens is all up to you!"

Yu Ze knew that the bomb was the most critical explosion point of the entire shot, and if this explosion point was not well controlled, then this shot could be said to be wasted. He held the walkie-talkie tightly in his right hand, his eyes fixed on the one in the middle of the second team's tanks.

This tank is not a real tank, it is a model of a tank made by Factory 132, which is filled with explosives. This tank will not walk on its own, it is pulled by the tank in front of it with steel cables. Because the camera is at an altitude of more than 20 meters, it is relatively far away, and the audience cannot see the steel cable on the screen, thinking that the tank is driving forward by itself.

Yu Ze stared at the monitor screen without blinking, and began to order: "Point 3 in the ninth district, 3, 2, 1! Detonate!"

Boom –

With an earth-shattering bang, the explosives in the tank model were detonated, and a black cloud rose into the sky, like a black leopard, swooping down towards the camera, swallowing the camera in one gulp, and the whole world was suddenly in thick darkness.

Yuan Heping, who was behind the monitor, was startled, his body involuntarily leaned back, his heart jumped to his throat, and he stared at the screen of the monitor with wide eyes. He was really shocked by this shot, what kind of road is this? The explosion scene can still be filmed like this!

Xu Wangqiu was full of joy, what he wanted was this effect, what he wanted was that the smoke rushed towards the camera, making the whole shot dark, as if he wanted to be engulfed in black smoke.

Hollywood director Michael Bay is known for being good at shooting explosion scenes, and is nicknamed Explosion Bay. In the eyes of the media and film critics, Michael Bay is a bad movie maker, there are almost no qualified movies, and even "Brave Island", which is sought after by many action movie lovers, is only just passed, with a freshness rating of only 66% on Rotten Tomatoes and an MTC score of only 58. However, in contrast to the bad reviews in the media, Michael Bay's films are very popular with the audience and are very popular at the box office.

Explosion scenes can be said to be commonplace in commercial blockbusters, but the sense of substitution of explosion scenes can not be much better than that of Michael Bay. The sense of substitution is the guy Michael Bay eats with, and it is also the fundamental reason why he can win the favor of the audience. What is it about Michael Bay's explosion that creates a sense of substitution? It's actually quite simple, it's that when it explodes, something comes towards the camera. For example, if a car is blown up, the car will definitely roll towards the camera after it is blown up. When the audience sees the car rolling towards them, they will be startled, and the sense of substitution will come out at once.

Xu Wangqiu let the model tank in front of the camera explode, and let the black smoke of the explosion envelop the lens for the same reason, hoping to scare the audience and increase the audience's sense of substitution. The aerial camera has a strong impact, but because the lens is far away, it lacks a sense of substitution. Let the tank in front of the camera explode, and the black smoke will rush towards the camera, and the audience will be startled, and the sense of substitution will come out at once.

Yuan Heping exhaled lightly, this shot is really amazing, when the black smoke rushed towards the camera, it made people feel that the shock wave of the explosion was attacking itself, but the black smoke shrouded the lens, and it was pitch black in front of him, as if he had been blown up, and fear poured out from the bottom of his heart!

Yu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, the effect of the explosion was very good, and the cooperation with the camera was seamless, very perfect, and fully in line with Xu Wangqiu's requirements. However, the filming is not over yet, and there are still many explosive points to be blown up in the back, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest.

At that moment, the monitor light up, and the camera passes through the billowing black smoke from the explosion. At this point, the second team of tanks has disappeared from the frame, and the third team of tanks is sliding down the frame. Soon, the third team of tanks disappears from the bottom of the frame, while the camera still moves forward.

The camera moves forward a few dozen meters, and then the camera begins to pan upwards. At the same time, in the monitor, the camera image slowly panned to the hillside. The hillside was already in flames, and the site was exploding one after another. The sky-high flames carried mud and shrapnel and exploded wantonly, forming huge explosion points, and the whole earth seemed to shake in the deafening explosion.

Xu Wangqiu was very satisfied with this shot, bounced up from the stool like a spring, held the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Stop! Cooperate very well! This shot has passed!" After speaking, he sat on the stool and let out a long breath. I believe that when the final shot appears on the screen, the audience will be stunned. Such a lens can only belong to this era, only to China.

Yu Ze next to him looked up at the hillside that was still emitting black smoke, and his face was engraved with relief and satisfaction. This shot is the most difficult shot in his 30 years of filming, and it is also his most difficult shot. He exhaled softly, thinking to himself that this shot was really amazing, and after taking this shot, even if I died immediately, I would have no regrets.

Yuan Heping watched the monitor for a long time before coming over, looked at Xu Wangqiu and said sincerely: "This shot is too powerful! I have seen a lot of war films, the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries, but I have never seen such a shot, it is really amazing! This is not only to mobilize troops, but also to have a cableway system, these two are indispensable, this thing is really only you can shoot." Neither the Americans nor the Soviets can do it!"

Xu Wangqiu said without modesty: "If our films want to go out of China, we must definitely come up with things that others do not have, otherwise what will we rely on to compete with others! Just like the Xiangjiang action movie cannot be made by the Americans, and it will sell very well without too many competitors overseas." If technology increases the scene, others can't play, so we will have an advantage when we compete overseas. ”

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Comrade Xu Wangqiu, Taizu taught us to be modest, cautious, and guard against arrogance and rashness, how can you achieve a little achievement and just your tail?"

Xu Wangqiu turned around suddenly, only to see Su Bai wearing a white dress and walking towards him with a smile. He hurriedly stepped forward, took Su Bai's soft hand, and said with a smile: "Su Bai, why are you here?" He took Su Bai's hand and shook it gently, like a spoiled child, and said: "Su Bai, I miss you, do you miss me?"

"Of course I want to, I miss you so much!" Su Bai hadn't seen Xu Wangqiu for several months, and he really thought he was thinking about it so much. However, when she saw that the people around her were looking at her and Xu Wangqiu smiling, she was still a little embarrassed, broke free of her hand, and said with a smile, "That, I came with Mr. Tokuma." ”

Only then did Xu Wangqiu notice that there were several very fashionably dressed men and women standing behind Su Bai, one of whom he knew, it was Tokuma Kangkuai, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Tokuma, it's been a long time." ”
