Chapter Seventy-Four: Real Shooting
Yesterday the actors had been rehearsing all day, and there was no need to say anything more. The next morning, after the crew arrived on the set, Xu Wangqiu directly asked the actors to put on makeup. All departments of the crew have the foundation laid yesterday, and they are also very relaxed. Since this scene requires natural light, even the busiest gaffer can sit next to him and drink tea leisurely.
After the actors changed their clothes and returned to the set, Xu Wangqiu asked them to pick up guns for rehearsals.
After rehearsing until half past eight, Xu Wangqiu called the gunsmith over and asked him to hand out the empty cartridges to the actors who could shoot, and then asked the pyrotechnics team to bring the clothes with the blood packets and put them on for Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin.
In this scene, Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin will be shot and killed. Zhang was shot in the shoulder and then killed by a bomb, while Xie Yuan was hit by a machine gun. In order to create a realistic shot effect, they must be dressed in clothes with blood packs.
War movies often have scenes of actors being shot, and it is actually simple to do this effect. The costumer prepares several sets of clothes, and after the pyrotechnician gets the clothes, he fills a small plastic bag with a little explosives, fills the condom with plasma, and taps the explosives and condoms into the clothes, and connects the wires, how many pop points, and even a few wires. At the time of the explosion, the explosives will not only blow up the plasma in the condom, but also blow up the clothes, as if the human body has been punched by a bullet and blood gushes out.
Since explosives can injure people, pyrotechnicians will install an aluminum plate between the actor and the detonator to ensure that the actor is not injured. Before the official shoot, the pyrotechnician will carefully put on the elaborate clothes on the actors, and the wires will gently pass through the trousers and connect to the pyrotechnician's console.
Some movies are inconvenient to be controlled by pyrotechnics due to shooting needs, and wires will come out of the sleeves, and the control switch will be placed in the hands of the actors, and the actors themselves will detonate. Zhang Tielin and Xie Yuan are like this, the two of them have a running shot, which can't be detonated by the pyrotechnician, so they can only control it themselves.
The fireworks team was very careful when dressing Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin, for fear that the range of movement would be too large and the blood bag would be broken. After putting on Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin's clothes, the pyrotechnic team told them how to detonate the blood packs on their bodies and the precautions.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Wangqiu called the actors together and emphasized the safety issue again: "After I shout to stop, stay where you are, don't move, don't get up the actors who fall to the ground, wait for the pyrotechnic to cut off the power and tell you that you can move, you move again, because it is possible that a certain explosion point did not blow up, and you ran around and the explosion point happened to blow up." Remember, safety is not standardized, and relatives are in tears!"
At this moment, only hearing the sound of "pop", Xie Yuan exploded a hole in his chest, and a stream of blood rushed out, as if he had been hit by a bullet. Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, and Xie Yuan himself was dumbfounded.
This hasn't been turned on yet, why did the blood pack explode?
Xie Yuan is usually naughty and mischievous, but now that he saw that Xie Yuan's blood bag had exploded, Xu Wangqiu's first reaction was that Xie Yuan pressed the switch in his hand, and immediately roared: "Xie Yuan, who asked you to move the switch?"
Xie Yuan felt particularly aggrieved and defended: "I didn't turn the switch, it blew it up by itself." If I had pressed the switch, I wouldn't have been able to blow up just one, right? I should have blown them all!"
Xu Wangqiu thought about it, and estimated that he should touch the line, so he waved at the fireworks group: "Hurry up and change Xie Yuan's clothes!"
Zhang Tielin and Xie Yuan have a bedroom, and they usually like to tease each other, but now when they saw Xie Yuan being reprimanded, they immediately let out a gloating laugh and patted Xie Yuan's shoulder hard: "Xie Yuan, look at me......"
Before he finished speaking, the blood bag on Zhang Tielin's shoulder exploded with a "pop", and a stream of blood soared. Zhang Tielin was dumbfounded, what's going on, why did my blood bag explode?
Seeing this, Xie Yuan laughed and said, "Tielin, Tielin, you deserve to be my good buddy!
Xu Wangqiu felt that his brain hurt, he almost had the urge to beat people, and he asked for money for clothes and blood bags, so he roared at Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin: "If you two make trouble again, I will arrange for you to step on the bombing point! You deserve to be blown up! Anyway, the crew has a death quota!"
Although they knew that Xu Wangqiu was scaring him, the words "death quota" still made Zhang Tielin and Xie Yuan feel a chill, and they were all silent, and they no longer dared to have the slightest intention of joking.
The pyrotechnics team took two new pieces of clothing with blood packs, carefully put them on Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin, and told them to pay attention not to detonate the explosion point in advance.
Fifteen minutes later, the cast was completely ready. Xu Wangqiu looked at the sky, there was no sun, but the light was sufficient, which was very suitable for shooting, so he took the megaphone and shouted: "Now clear the scene, the fireworks team will check the explosion point, and the other groups will prepare for shooting!"
Except for Yu Ze and the pyrotechnic team who stayed at the scene to do the final inspection, the other workers retreated to the safety area. Two minutes later, Yu Ze told Xu Wangqiu that all the preparations had been made. Xu Wangqiu exhaled softly, stared at the scene with a solemn expression, raised the megaphone and shouted: "All teams are ready!
The time soon came, the actors, photographers, recording smoke, and pyrotechnic crews were all in place, and the scene notes were played.
Xu Wangqiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the hoe squad, and he gave the final command: "Begin!"
With Xu Wangqiu's order, the originally quiet set immediately turned into a boiling battlefield. At the same time, Yu Ze held the controller in his hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on the actor's position, and as soon as the actor arrived at the designated position, he immediately pressed the detonator to detonate the point. The scene was dusty, and debris was scattered on the scene.
Zhao Dan quickly hid by the wall, and kept shouting: "There is an ambush! Pay attention to concealment! Quickly conceal!" The hoe team encountered this situation for the first time, and they seemed a little flustered, except for Zhang Fengyi, who quickly hidden, the others ran around like headless flies.
The actors' hearts beat wildly, and they felt that this was not acting at all, and they were really walking through the rain of guns.
Zhang Tielin raised the gun in his right hand and fired a shot at the enemy upstairs, and at the same time pressed the switch with his left hand, and a hole in his left shoulder immediately exploded, bursting out with a ball of blood. He shook and almost fell, but immediately steadied himself. He raised his right hand and fired another shot at the enemy upstairs. At this moment, Yu Ze pressed the blasting switch. With a "boom", the explosion point of one meter to the left of Zhang Tielin exploded, and dust flew and debris flew everywhere. Zhang Tielin flew out on his side, as if he had really been blown away by a bomb.
Fang Shu is a member of the hoe and rape team, but she and Zhou Lijin did not act with the hoe and rape team, and there is no scene for her today, so they are watching the excitement on the side. Seeing this scene, Fang Shu almost screamed. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hand.
Many staff at the scene saw the footage of blowing people away for the first time, and they felt that it was the same as the real thing, and they were simply scared silly.
Xie Yuan knew that it was time to sacrifice himself, and pressed the detonation switch. In the explosion of "pop", six or seven blood holes burst out of Xie Yuan's chest, and blood gushed out. He didn't give a naughty performance like Yin Tianqiu, and simply fell down.
Zhao Dan saw the sacrifices of the team members one after another, his heart was like a knife, and he shouted at Zhang Fengyi: "Jiang Bida!
Zhang Fengyi raised his rifle to aim at the machine gun upstairs and pulled the trigger hard, but the rifle did not ring. He picked up the gun and looked at it suspiciously, and pulled the trigger again upstairs, but the gun still didn't go off. He was very helpless, and shouted twice with a "snap" in his mouth, replacing the gunshots with ventriloquism.
Xu Wangqiu almost fainted when he saw this scene, this long shot was about to be completed, but the last step was to drop the chain, Xie Yuan likes to make trouble, forget it, you Zhang Fengyi's thick eyebrows and big eyes are fooling around! He only felt angry, and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!" and roared at Zhang Fengyi: "Zhang Fengyi, what the hell are you doing, why don't you shoot?"
Zhang Fengyi stood up and said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on, the gun is jammed, and the trigger can't be pulled." ”
The guns used by the crew are all old guns, which have been decades old, and they are older than Xu Wangqiu and his father. Old arms and legs often have problems during use. Xu Wangqiu waved his hand depressedly and called the gunsmith over and asked him to check what was going on.
The gunsmith came over to inspect and found that the gun had gone into the dirt. It may be that when it exploded just now, the soil exploded into the barrel of the gun, causing the grab to jam. The gunsmith took the gun apart, cleaned it up, and it was ready to use.
Three hours later, the explosion was rearranged, the actors were in place, and filming began again.
At the end of this shooting, Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei both felt good, and there was no problem with photography and recording. However, since he couldn't see the movie screen, no one could guarantee that there was really no problem, so for the sake of insurance, Xu Wangqiu decided to insure one.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the bombing point was arranged, and the third shooting officially began.
The hoe and rape squad that was attacked was in a mess and ran between the bombing points; Yu Ze kept his eyes firmly on the position where the actors were running, controlling the explosion of the explosion points; Zeng Lianping was engrossed in filming with the camera on his shoulder; Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei were staring at the actors so tightly that they didn't even dare to blink their eyes.
In the camera shot, the enemy machine guns upstairs are firing fiercely, causing columns of smoke to rise from the ground. Zhang Tielin raised his pistol, and as soon as he fired a shot, he was hit in the left shoulder by the enemy, and a ball of blood erupted. He shook his body, and immediately raised his gun again and fired at the enemy. But at this moment, an explosion occurred less than a meter away from him, blowing him out sideways.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Yuan was swept by a machine gun, and six or seven blood holes were punched in his chest, and he fell in a pool of blood extremely tragically.
Zhao Dan realized that the enemy's machine gun fire was too fierce, and if he didn't kill the machine gun, the hoe team would be in danger, and immediately shouted: "Jiang Bida!
Zhang Fengyi held the gun in both hands, aimed at the machine gun upstairs and pulled the trigger, and the barrel of the gun erupted fierce flames.
After Xu Wangqiu shouted "stop", the staff anxiously watched Xu Wangqiu, Xie Fei and Zeng Lianping communicate; several actors were gasping for breath while staring at Xu Wangqiu and them nervously, wanting to know if they could pass smoothly this time.
Xie Fei was very excited, and danced with his hands and said: "This shot is better than the one in the morning, although I can't see the movie screen, I can imagine what the effect will be when I shoot it." I dare to say that after the release of "The Rape", the history of war films will be rewritten!"
Zeng Lianping was also very excited: "It's really better than the previous shot." I felt like a war photographer, carrying a camera on the battlefield. When the movie is released, I believe that audiences across the country will have this kind of gratitude. ”
Xu Wangqiu saw that they thought that this shot was fine, and asked about the recording again. After making sure that there was no problem with the recording, he immediately announced: "This scene is over!
The whole set burst into applause, and the entire crew was busy for this shot for two whole days, and now it is finally completed.
Xu Wangqiu walked quickly to Yu Ze's side, held his hand tightly, and said sincerely: "Master Yu, it's great to invite you! Otherwise, such a shot is simply unimaginable!"
