When it comes to pyrotechnic effects, we have to talk about the pyrotechnician profession.

The job of pyrotechnic engineer is really not so easy to do, there is no professional school, not to mention, there are few people who like to learn.

Everyone knows that this thing is dangerous. You look at this thing as fake, but in fact the gunpowder is real, but the amount is different, but the lethality is not as good as the real bomb, but it is just not as good.

This profession is like the national football team, the Chinese people like to watch the game, and they all think that this football is good, but our national football team just can't produce results, it's so bad that people are upset, and there are even people who can't stand it and jump off the building......

The number of registered football players with 1.3 billion people is not as much as the number of registered football players in Germany, whose population is less than one-tenth of ours, that is, a fraction of the number of people, or even a tenth of them (don't believe it, there are only 90 registered football players in the country in the 91-92 age group), what does this mean?

No one wants to do dangerous work, even if you know that you can make a lot of money by playing football, but what if you can't kick it out, what if you are kicked and disabled?

Similarly, the same is true for pyrotechnics, everyone scolds the domestic movies and TV series for their bad pyrotechnic effects, it doesn't look like Hollywood's excellence, it doesn't have Hollywood's enjoyment, but if you really want to devote yourself to this dangerous profession, there are really not many, the key is that this profession is not so particularly profitable, compared to those big stars or something. Are you better than that? Little stars can't compare.

There are fewer and fewer pyrotechnicians in China now, and they are about to catch up with the giant pandas.

Yin Xingyun turned out to be an engineer in the army. Later, by chance, coupled with his liking, he entered Bayi Factory as a pyrotechnician.

followed his teacher 'Pyrotechnic King' Yu Ze to study hard, until he was admitted to the qualification certificate of senior pyrotechnician, and then he had the opportunity to be independent.

In the summer of 04, Yin Xingyun took over an important job, which was an important task assigned by the leaders of Bayi Factory, as the pyrotechnic division of "Soldier Assault".

This film is okay to say. It's not difficult at all, and it's easy to be safe, because this film is mostly about drills. Special forces confrontation and the like, there are very few scenes that really need to kill, yes, this is for Yin Xingyun. It's a bit overkill.

But. What Yin Xingyun didn't expect was that during the filming of this drama, he met a person, and that person was a famous young director in China, Wu Xiang!

This person is too young, as far as Yin Xingyun's own evaluation of Wu Xiang is like this, he is really too young, there has never been such a young person. I have never been able to make so many excellent films.

But this guy is also quite interesting. As soon as he saw Yin Xingyun, he asked him about fireworks.

In terms of pyrotechnics, of course Yin Xingyun is an expert, and Wu Xiang, a young descendant, is naturally a layman, but what this layman asks makes Yin Xingyun, an expert, very faceless.

Wu Xiang is on one question, can it be compared to the level of Hollywood?

is such a question, Yin Xingyun is very depressed, because he knows very well in his heart that the level of fireworks in China is indeed inferior to Hollywood, and he is not a person who likes to brag, but in front of this young man, Yin Xingyun doesn't want to answer like this, because he has been a soldier, and he has such a strength to not admit defeat in his heart!

But Wu Xiang, a young man, didn't come to ask questions, in fact, he came to sponsor.

"If you have the opportunity, Brother Yin, do you want to go out and learn the advanced pyrotechnic techniques of Hollywood?"

Faced with this question, what can Yin Xingyun say? Can he say no?

SO, AFTER FILMING "SOLDIER ASSAULT", YIN XINGYUN WAS ARRANGED BY WU XIANG TO GO TO THE UNITED STATES TO WORK WITH THE PYROTECHNIC TEAM OF JOSS-WILLIAMS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, UNTIL THE END OF 04, HE RETURNED TO CHINA, BECAUSE AT THIS TIME, DIRECTOR WU XIANG WAS READY TO SHOOT HIS NEW FILM.

For the pyrotechnic effect, Wu Xiang is really a layman, this thing is not a joke, a person who can't get it right will die, with Wu Xiang, a guy with a somewhat romantic personality, he can't do this job, maybe he will pursue the effect and put himself inside.

Wu Xiang cooperated with the pyrotechnic master when filming "Bright Sword", but the effect required for "Bright Sword" is not too high, and you can't do it too high, because although the little devil's firepower is fierce, it is compared with whom, compared with the national army, and compared with the Eighth Road, his firepower is really fierce, but if it is compared with the American imperialists, the little devil's firepower is really not enough to see.

Therefore, by the standards of "Bright Sword", there is no way to shoot Wu Xiang's new film, and the previous pyrotechnician is not as good as Yin Xingyun.

So, in the summer, Wu Xiang went to Yin Xingyun and sponsored him to go to Hollywood to study and see other people's advanced skills.

Wu Xiang is really qualified in this regard, on the one hand, he has some funds, and on the other hand, Wu Xiang has Miramax's way, after all, it is a Hollywood company, and everything is easy to talk about.

But even so, going to Hollywood for further study this time also made Wu Xiang spend a lot of money, which is all US dollars, and the more expensive place is still to come.

$3,000,000!

As soon as Yin Xingyun came back, he gave Wu Xiang such a list, which was full of names of various equipment, and then a price code behind it, 3 million US dollars.

In these years, the US dollar is quite valuable, our RMB is still controlled, although the US imperialists shout all day long to make you appreciate, but we just don't rise.

This is more than 24 million RMB, do you want to buy it?

Buy!

I can only buy it, but Wu Xiang has a request, let's buy it, but we have to fully understand this thing, and it's best to play these things out of their own characteristics, and it's best to come out of a batch of cottages, it's better than buying someone else's old time.

Yin Xingyun naturally agreed, there was no problem at all, and the person in charge of the copycat equipment was naturally Wu Xiang's props company.

The budget is 100 million, and the filming has not started yet, so it has already gone to more than 24 million first, plus the previous cost of going abroad, more than 25 million is gone.

In fact, this is already very cheap, the reason why the effect of Hollywood blockbusters is good is that it is really completely piled up with money, and later director Zhang Yimou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is looking for a Hollywood team, and the investment in that movie is conservatively estimated to be more than 400 million RMB, and the most widely circulated version is 600 million.

The most expensive place, in addition to the salary of big names, is naturally the scene of the war, and you can imagine how much money was spent on the pyrotechnic effect.

With better equipment, Wu Xiang's heart finally has some bottom, this time the shooting is to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Lao Mei's firepower is strong, that is the most on the planet, we must make a super large scene!

The preparation for the new film is almost there, but there is still one link that has not been decided, and that is the script.

It's been changed three times, Lan Xiaolong feels that this time it should be about the same, and Director Wu has also seen it, but he still has to change it.

This script has basically been done according to Wu Xiang's requirements, and in this story, Wu Xiang feels that it is okay, but this language seems to be a little worse.

"Sometimes, this local dialect is a little humorous enough, you are witty, I will help you polish and polish ......"

It was none other than Feng Xiaogang, the film's art consultant, who said this.

By the way, when Wu Xiang thinks of this language problem, what he thinks of is Feng Xiaogang, this Director Feng's films are all won by language, and there are many classic lines, who is not looking for him?

In fact, Wu Xiang first contacted Feng Xiaogang, mainly because he valued the actors in his hands, Zhang Hanyu is a rare good actor, his performance in "Assembly Number" really left a deep impression on Wu Xiang, and he hoped to let Zhang Hanyu play a role in his own play.

didn't expect that Feng Xiaogang was also used in this script, which is not bad.

It didn't take long for Feng Xiaogang to get the script back, change some places, and add some jokes, but in some places, there were also some changes.

"Brother Feng, I'm reading your script, how do you feel that some things are not quite right?"

"Where?"

"That is, where the war is fought, how the soldiers always talk about the dead, and from their conversations, there seems to be a sense of fear of death. ”

"That's right, who isn't afraid of death? I'm afraid of death! Then the soldiers aren't human? They're not afraid of death? I don't believe it, I don't believe it all the time!"

In the face of Feng Xiaogang's words, Wu Xiang also felt that it was this reason, but when he totaled it, he felt that something was wrong.

It is true that people are afraid of death, but do people have to be afraid of death?!

Wu Xiang still has some knowledge of history, at least he has read a lot of books and documentaries on this subject, and he feels that people are afraid of death, but in some cases, people are not afraid of death.

Wu Xiang took the script, and this time he was going to revise the script of his new film for the last time, and the last time, which completely met his own requirements.

So, Wu Xiang pushed away all his work, and he went to look up the information!

No one of the soldiers who participated in the Songgu Peak Resistance Battle is still alive, let alone the soldiers, and the officers are no longer alive, but some information is left, and the words of Fan Tianen, the commander of the 335th Regiment, make Wu Xiang remember it very deeply.

"Who doesn't want peace, they all want it. Where is anyone willing to fight? So cruel, old dead. But the enemy won't let us be stable, since we won't let us, we have to sacrifice, and if we sacrifice to ourselves, we don't want to sacrifice, then the country will be finished, and whoever is in the stall will be fine......

Rustic to the extreme, but it says it all. (To be continued......)
