Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bravery
The rehearsal took more than ten days, and the filming took almost a month, and today Wu Xiang and his "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" crew are about to usher in the most critical shot.
"Sit!"
There was a hula and a group of people sitting on the grass.
"Sit!"Hula!"Sit!"Hula......
The rugged and heroic command, and the sound of neat sitting echoed in the Ba Ao Naoer prairie.
"It is worthy of our soldiers, discipline is strict!" Wu Xiang saw that the troops of 10,000 people were still not chaotic at all after so many days of shooting, whether it was morale or military appearance and military discipline, Gu Zhihu Ben could not match.
"Hello comrades!"
"Hello Chief!!"
"Comrades are glad to suffer!"
"Serve the people!!"
Master Zhang spoke a few words first, and then handed the microphone to Wu Xiang.
"Hello comrades!" this time there are no more words from the chief, "I am Wu Xiang, the director of this film, first of all, I thank you, I am very honored to work with you to make this film." I'm really honored to be able to make such a big movie with you in my lifetime. Our film is about the history of more than 2,000 years ago, when we defeated the invaders of the north and defended our homeland......"
Wu Xiang first said a paragraph, what is this movie, and what are we busy doing here. If you don't say that, it would be too cruel to these fighters.
The soldiers in the audience were still sitting straight like that, they were all qualified listeners, and Wu Xiang continued: "The reason why I say these things is to let everyone understand what we are engaged in now. The purpose of this movie is to let the people of the whole country understand that our country, our nation, has never bowed to any aggression and humiliation, and will always fight the aggressor to the end!"
In fact, there are some reasons why Wu Xiang didn't say it, because it has nothing to do with the scenes that these soldiers are going to film.
"The next shot will be a little dangerous, and this is also why I want to say this. Because I hope to be able to shoot the kind of shot I want, that fearless look, that feeling of seeing death at home!"
That's right, that's the reason, just for this look, Wu Xiang said so much. Today they are going to shoot the most rear-end shot, and the most dangerous, the collision between the cavalry!
It is a direct hard collision between the Han army and the Hun cavalry, there is no ambiguity at all, and it is a real shot!
If you want to have computer stunts, it will be easy to do, but now Wu Xiang just doesn't have this thing, so he can only shoot in real time, but there is a problem with real shooting, that is, when the two sides really collide, anyone will be afraid.
But Wu Xiang doesn't want to shoot this fear, what he wants to show is not the cruelty of war, what he wants to show is the spirit of forging ahead bravely for the nation and the country, he hopes to shoot bravely!
"Can you complete the task?" Master Zhang was much more simple and rude, and asked such a sentence.
"Yes!" the warriors replied simply.
Then let's start, 10,000 people, divided into two parts, 5,000 versus 5,000, all cavalry, this scene is that Wei Qing rushed down from the hillside before, and then entered the Hun cavalry formation.
In terms of numbers, it is a little less than the previous shot, but this is nothing, because it is mainly a close-up shot, and although the aerial photography of the helicopter can capture a long shot, when the two sides are twisted together, no one can see that there are few people.
It's mainly a close-up shot, of course, it's a close-up, but it's not very close, and it's impossible to stare at just a few people in such a big scene.
As for the danger, it is indeed dangerous, this is a real shot, even if the horse speed is controlled at 5 kilometers per hour, the impact is quite large, and it is difficult for people to bear it, but now everything has to be taken in real life, which is simply a bit ......
It's not okay to shoot like this, I've pursued countless details, and I've done everything perfectly, but just like this shot, it's like doing that to spray, but the other party suddenly tells you that she used to be a gentleman.
Anyway, it's similar to that feeling.,Anyway, this place is going to be filmed.,I've thought of a lot of ways.,But it's not good after a few rehearsals.,It's not real.,It's not real.。 The important war shots have all been done, even the Hun cavalry storming the Han army has been completed, the long view plus the close view, and a few more actions will be designed, it will be safe.
But this is the impact of cavalry on both sides, it's an impact, it's not the kind of time that everyone runs through the motions with each other and it's over, Wu Xiang is a requirement for this shot, bump, collide!
This is indeed too dangerous, there are many people, there are many horses, especially horses, it is not easy to control.
It's true that filming is fake, but it doesn't mean that there is no danger, especially in this kind of scene, injuries are trivial, and if you don't get it right, you will even die.
Wu Xiang actually considered using computer stunts, just this place for more than ten seconds, if you talk about the price well, talk about it well, maybe a million dollars may be negotiated, but this is also a million, dollars.
The last thing was that Master Zhang got the news, just a little time, more than ten seconds, it will cost a million? Or dollars?
Master Zhang's exact words were, 'I don't believe it!'
So get ready!
Protective gear, this thing has to be used, it has been prepared for a long time, and it has been used before. Prop spears, these are all things that can be broken at the touch of a button, especially ready to be used, what you want is an effect, and the key is safety.
But even if it is, it's 5000 against 5000, and if you fall off the horse, and then one is stepped on by the horse behind you without paying attention, it is likely to be fatal.
Wu Xiang really has no bottom in his heart, what he can do is to put the soldiers of the cavalry battalion in front, they are very experienced.
Many officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion summed up their experience as soldiers, that is, they learned to ride horses for one year, and then filmed for two years.
In many scenes before, they performed some difficult actions, such as falling horses.
We'll be able to do this, but we'll have to bite the bullet.
"Ready!"
It's all real scenes, let's just think it's a real charge!
Boom, boom...... The speed of the horse has changed from slow to fast, which is already very slow, but you can't let this horse perform a dance step, bang...... The speed is still up.
Through the previous rehearsal, the horse speed was controlled at about 15 kilometers per hour after calculation, which is a relatively safe speed, and people can not see the slow speed, but this is a real person, a real horse, not you say 15 kilometers, just 15 kilometers, there will always be some errors, and the danger is still very great.
Whoop...... The time has come to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wind on the grassland is getting stronger and stronger, making a sound like a ghost crying wolf.
This had a considerable impact on the shooting, but it also helped Wu Xiang and all the soldiers who participated in the shooting, because the effect of the wind blowing gave people the impression that they were faster, and they would not be seen if they were a little slower.
The high-speed camera, this can only be used to make the slow faster, da, the helicopter is already hovering in the air, it is facing the bloody sun, otherwise there will be its shadow on the ground.
Here it comes!
Two cavalry teams of 5,000 men spread out on the endless steppe, like two giant birds spreading their wings, boom, boom...... The hooves of 10,000 horsemen landed on the grass with a deafening sound, as if the whole earth was trembling!
If it's a real battle, there will definitely be cavalry at this time who will be shot by locust-like arrows and fall off their horses, but this is a movie, and those shots have been filmed before, as long as they are cut in the later stage, that's fine, so now there is no need for someone to perform the falling horse, everyone just needs to focus on the collision after the most lucid, and that's fine.
"Kill!"
All the people shouted and shouted, spears in their hands, and two teams of cavalry, as if two fists had collided on this steppe!
Bang! Bang...... The spears were all fake, and they shattered when they hit, but the sound of the shattering and the sound of the horses colliding and the soldiers falling to the ground were intertwined, although it was impossible to record because of the strong wind, but it also produced enough shock.
Bumped into it, hanged it, the scene was chaotic, according to the arrangement, the Hun soldiers would be defeated, they fell off their horses the most, and some were directly pushed away by the war horses.
"Oops!"
"Ahh
A lot of people screamed, this is a normal manifestation of being hit, and it is nonsense not to scream.
But you have to hold on a little longer, at least to let the team rush a little more distance.
Lil Ash Gray ...... Boom, boom,...... Oh!...... All kinds of voices echoed in Wu Xiang's ears, but he could only watch now until he reached his satisfaction, otherwise all the previous efforts would be in vain.
"Ka!" finally Wu Xiang shouted this order, he was very satisfied, he did not see a trace of cowardice in the eyes of any soldier, even if it was a Hun soldier.
"Okay! We've succeeded!" Wu Xiang saw that the horses couldn't stop immediately, and the loudspeaker was already at full power.
Finally, after another while, the chaotic scene was over, and it was the discipline that had been integrated into the bones of the soldiers that worked.
"Oooo
"Ahahaha!" ......
As if they had won a battle, the officers and men all let out heartfelt cheers, and at this time, discipline was put aside for the time being......
According to the latest statistics, there were more than 370 injured horses, of which 20 were seriously injured and could no longer stand up, and three were directly dead. In terms of personnel, it is still quite good, only forty-three people were slightly injured, as for the minor injuries at the dredging level, it is not counted, there are too many.
It seems that people are still more flexible and smarter, everyone has a tacit understanding, they don't greet their faces, plus they are protected by protective gear, and the weapons are all fake, so nothing major happened.
In fact, this shot only needs to be bumped, but it is a hard hit, and the time of this collision cannot be very long, at most more than ten seconds, and it will not shock the audience after a long time!
It is undeniable that Wu Xiang borrowed the battle scenes from "The Lord of the Rings", but people use computer stunts, and we are really shooting in real time. You have high-tech, I have dirt methods!
And Wu Xiang knows very well that with the progress of his skills, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to use so many people to shoot such a big scene of tens of thousands of people fighting, and he is really lucky.
