On September 4th, when major companies were still thinking about next year's summer vacation, Tang An didn't care about these things and officially started the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

Another press conference was held at the port, and quite a few reporters followed, inviting naval officers and sailors to participate.

The actors also changed into naval uniforms and walked out of the queue, phalanx, and the like.

Filming officially started, and the first scene was at sea, where the sniper Luo Xing was shot and sent back to the warship.

Let the landing craft and helicopter go through the script first, and the camera will determine the position of the camera.

After adjusting the aspect repeatedly, the first shot officially started.

Tang An stood up, looked at the prepared crowd, and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Today the first day of filming started, everyone cheered up. ”

"Eleventh, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

Under the order, the crew ran in an orderly manner.

Tang An sat back in front of the monitor and looked at two sets of shots from the screen, one was an aerial shot, and the other was a relatively close close-up.

A teammate was injured, and the whole team, including the usually calm captain, was also full of worry.

The landing craft drove to its maximum power, making a long mark on the sea level, splashing on both sides.

Through the close-up shot, you can see the worried look on the faces of Zhang Yi, Du Qi, Peng Yichang and others.

But before two seconds passed, Tang An shouted a heavy stop.

On the first day, just started filming, and none of them were in the best condition.

"Zhang Yi, a few of you leaned forward a little while waiting, and your eyes were looking straight ahead, to show a sense of anxiety and urgency, and you had to hold on to the landing craft with your hands, obviously grasping hard. ”

"Think about it, it's not someone else who is hurt now, it's your parents, wives and children, and you all have camouflage oil on your faces, pay more attention to the drama in your eyes. ”

Tang An took the walkie-talkie and reminded them several times, allowing them to brew for five minutes, and then shoot for the second time.

The second pass was not bad, much better than before, and it was already qualified in front of a small monitor.

However, the big screen is much bigger than this monitor, even if there are four or five people in the same frame, the facial expressions are clearly visible, and the slightest flaw will be magnified, so that the audience can see it clearly.

After taking two shots in a row, Tang An stared at the expressions of each of them one by one, and the movements in his hands were satisfied.

The second shot helicopter brought back the injured Luo Xing, the helicopter flew according to the predetermined line, and the camera position was rehearsed, so there was nothing to say, go over and over again.

It's all simple short shots, and everything is going well.

Then there is the scene of Zhang Yi and others landing, when they get off the landing craft, everyone must move very quickly, but they can't be too uniform, after all, everyone is very anxious at this time.

A shot of running in the water was shot six times, and the first three times were running movements that didn't match the background, or didn't fit in the slow motion.

After a few simple shots, I picked a few easy shots to shoot first, including the scenes of the captain and political commissar inside the warship.

The captain of the ship is Zhang Haifeng, a military adviser and former captain of the Jiaolong Brigade, and the political commissar is Wang Qiang, the chief producer sent by Haizheng.

In the afternoon, Tang An and the actors waited for a "cannon battle" performance on the Kunmin.

In the cabin, Tang An looked out at the sky through the glass with some expectation.

Half an hour later, several drones for aerial photography in all aspects arrived at the predetermined position, and the command compartment of the warship was also ready.

A helicopter takes off once is money, and if you can use drones for aerial photography, you can use drones, after all, there are more places to use money for this movie.

After each group was ready, Tang An shouted "start" again into the intercom!

The execution of the military is not to be said, it is much stronger than any crew in the world.

Almost instantly, a few shells on the opposite shore dragged a long burst of fire, leaving a wisp of white smoke in the clear blue sky, and roared towards the Kunmin.

The warship couldn't sail to the Red Sea, so the shot had to be cut into two short shots, one fired, and one flew towards the warship in mid-air.

The speed of the shell did not give much time to react, and then the secondary gun on the Kunmin turned around.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

All the shells on all sides were shot down by the Kunmin's secondary guns in less than a second.

Tang An stopped staring at the monitor at the moment, got up and looked out, the hit cannonball exploded in mid-air, and the fragments quickly fell into the sea with the firelight.

It's like a grand fireworks show, not at night, but still dazzling.

Even if a scene bigger than this has been filmed in "Edge of Tomorrow", it is still shocking to see it here.

However, live ammunition must not be used, and even if live ammunition is used in military exercises, it is in a deserted place.

And now it's near the port, and if something goes wrong and the shells hit the land and fall in the city, it's over.

Even if the shore defense forces intercept the shells, it will be a very serious matter.

However, empty cartridges can also present real smoke, fire, and explosion sounds, which can be completely fake on the screen.

Immediately after that, the 130mm main gun also fired, but it was also only possible to shoot the shot of the gun, and the target had to go to Africa to shoot.

"Okay, pass!"

After the shooting, Tang An did not forget to shout, and also expressed his gratitude to the captain of the Kunmin.

He also instructed a few actors, "Okay, you will follow Captain Zhang in the afternoon to rehearse the tactics, positions, movements, and gestures of the shots to be shot tomorrow, don't fall behind, we only have twenty days in Zhanjiang." ”

On this side of Zhanjiang, it is mainly a chase battle with pirates, as well as some gunfights on cargo ships.

Although it can be split into short shots, it can't be too much, too many short shots are easy to make the audience's eyes tired, and the whole is incoherent.

So they all have to go through the plot several times from beginning to end, and "fight" this as a real battle.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot and consume a day of three or four seconds of footage.

The actors all went to practice, and Tang An was not idle, and returned to the shore with the crew to shoot the scene of evacuating overseas Chinese.

Hundreds of ensembles have been put in place, including yellows, blacks, and whites, and they are all dressed in different ways.

Huge warships were parked on the shore, surrounded by a navy that had pulled up a barrier, and heavily armed soldiers were on guard all around.

Hundreds of citizens of various countries waited anxiously on the shore, and the navy soldiers maintained order and made them all line up.

A naval officer disembarked from the warship and shouted at the agitated citizens with a loudspeaker.

"Compatriots of Huaguo, we are the People's Neighborhood Army and Navy of Huaguo, Zhongyang Junwei ordered, let us protect you home!"

The familiar military uniforms of the neighborhoods, the friendly Chinese characters and five-star red flags on the warships, and the neutral voice made everyone feel at ease.

After the catastrophe, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, even the citizens of other countries, at this time, there was no distinction between nationality and nationality, no matter which country the citizens were, they all cheered loudly.

Some people left tears of emotion after experiencing life and death many times, which were recorded by the camera one by one.

Then some close-ups were taken one after another.

Female Navy soldier comforting little girl crying.

Soldiers helped their wounded compatriots aboard.

Fresh food and quick water were given to the hungry masses......

The military and civilians are close to each other, and these scenes are specially requested by the maritime administration.
