Chapter 498: Finished

If "Wolf Warrior 2" wants to be filmed, it must have the cooperation of the military.

In Wolf Warrior 2, tanks, assault vehicles, artillery, helicopters, destroyers, ...... There are too many things for the eye to take in.

The speeding, tail flicking and collision of ten real tanks can be called the "Fast and Furious" version of the tank.

What's even more exaggerated is that the crew blew up hundreds of cars, 2 20-ton full-scale tank models and 1 airplane model.

The news that Xu Qian planned to make a new movie naturally spread, and the military also agreed to cooperate.

Xu Qian has a greater network of contacts than Wu Jing in the previous life.

Wu Jing was actually a popular star before filming "Wolf Warrior".

When filming the wolf warrior, the military region supported a helicopter, and there was a shot that was repeated several times without achieving the desired effect, and the pilot was reluctant to fly and wanted to strike.

Wu Jing walked over and said, "Brother, let's fly one last time" and finally completed the shooting successfully.

It is this kind of professionalism that made "Wolf Warrior".

The news of Xu Qian's filming of military films also spread.

The others were stunned and inexplicable: "Heavy industry action movie, can Xu Qian hold it?"

"Oh my God, Xu Qian is transforming again?

"Not optimistic, not optimistic, not optimistic. ”

"Isn't anyone can make heavy industry movies?"

………………………………………

Countless people expressed their disbelief in Xu Qian.

Because the Chinese have not made "heavy industry military films" before, because this kind of film has a large investment, but the future is unknown.

But Xu Qian knows that heavy industry movies are the path that must be taken.

There is no shortage of comedies and excellent dramas in Chinese films, but what can be done?

In fact, Hollywood capital predators, and even the entire American film industry, don't really care how many low-cost and high-grossing comedies China continues to make.

As for excellent feature films such as "I Am Not the God of Medicine", they will also not be taken seriously by Hollywood. Very simply, the unique cultural barrier makes it difficult for even excellent local feature films to break into the mainstream cultural circle of Europe and the United States, let alone compete with them at the global box office.

Even if one day, Chinese filmmakers really make new "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive", Hollywood will not hesitate to applaud the surface, and may reward some "international directors" with the Oscars that they have always dreamed of in their lives like they have always done for Indian films, Iranian films and island country films, so that the majority of Douban young people and literary and young film critics are also "honored", and regard them as the "hard work" and "correct development direction" of Chinese films, and deceive the public This is "fully recognized by the international film industry" 。

But if they make heavy industry films, they will inevitably be boycotted by Hollywood, because it touches their core interests.

Movies are always commercial.

Without business, it would be like a Treasure Island movie that would die directly, Hou Xiaoxian, who was touted by Douban film critics, played the Treasure Island movie directly to death.

Hou Xiaoxian publicly confessed more than ten years ago: [The treasure island movie was killed by me and Yang Dechang. 】

In 2015, Hou Xiaoxian even publicly said: "Still talking about art films? Art films have long been dead, and now only film schools and researchers remain. 】

Chinese mainland films must not learn from them.

Next, Xu Qian began the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2".

The first step in the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" stumped Xu Qian.

People say that Wu Jing has a unique vision and courage, but they ignore the huge risks he bears behind him, and ignores the sweat and blood he has paid.

At the beginning of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing's underwater fighting skills were shocking.

Sam, the action director of "Captain America", was amazed by this one-shot underwater scene, saying that he had never seen a scene in the water.

And it was for this short 2-minute underwater action scene that Wu Jing experienced unimaginable pain and trials for ordinary people, and even almost paid for his own life.

In diving alone, Wu Jing jumped a full 26 times.

It was a 13-meter-high deck, 4 stories high, 3 meters higher than the height of a 10-meter platform diving.

Wu Jing was greeted not by the calm waters of the pool, but by the turbulent open sea, and as soon as he entered the water, he was swept away by the high-speed current, and a speedboat was needed to save him ashore.

In order to increase the speed of diving, Wu Jing carried a 4-kilogram lead block on his back.

The speed of the dive went up, but it greatly slowed down his ascent.

After shooting two, Wu Jing couldn't come up.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the water, Wu Jing only had one thought left in his head:

Give me a breath.

When the lifeguard rescued Wu Jing, he didn't have the strength to connect the respirator, and it was the lifeguard who put the respirator in his face.

This more than 2-minute water fight scene is the epitome of "Wolf Warrior 2".

The whole "Wolf Warrior 2" is a movie that survives blood and fire, and danger and injuries are everywhere, like a shadow.

During the filming of the action scene, Wu Jing's arm was smashed by a plate.

Filming a shooting scene, his eyes were rubbed by gravel.

During the trial filming of the Weiya play, his wrist was caught in a chain.

Treat the wound briefly, frown and say, "Okay, okay", and continue shooting.

During the fight, Wu Jing asked for fists to the flesh, saying that "the pain is so bloody that the audience can enjoy it".

Frank Grillo, who was fighting against Wu Jing, couldn't bear to do it, but he insisted that the other party hit him in the face.

If the underwater scene at the beginning of the film is the epitome of "Wolf Warrior 2", then "Wolf Warrior 2" is the epitome of Wu Jing's lifelong film career.

There is a picture circulating on the Internet listing Wu Jing's physical injuries.

From head to toe, Wu Jing hardly has a good piece of land on him.

"At the age of 6, he began to break his nose, his head was opened at the age of 8, his arm was broken at the age of 9, his lower limbs were paralyzed at the age of 14, his foot was broken at the age of 17, and the stitches on his body almost reached 100 stitches.

Filming "Tai Chi Grandmaster" broke his finger, filming "Xiao Li Flying Knife" injured his right eye, filming "The True Colors of a Man" ruptured ligaments, filming "New Shaolin Temple" sprained his foot and almost suffered a heart attack. ”

This water scene is also a great challenge for Xu Qian, but he can't back down, if he wants to make this movie well, he must endure hardships, be willing to endure hardships, be able to endure hardships, and there is no other shortcut.

"Wolf Warrior 2" was filmed very hard, but Xu Qian felt unprecedentedly fulfilling, he hadn't been so tired for a long time.

I was tired, I worked hard, and when I saw the results later, I would be sincerely happy.

Three months later, "Wolf Warrior 2" was officially completed.

This movie is not called "Wolf Warrior 2", it is directly called "Wolf Warrior", Xu Qian does not plan to make "Wolf Warrior 1", maybe it can be handed over to other directors in the future.
