Chapter 183: Filming in progress
"No, why do you look so awkward, you have to do it all over again!" Xiao Yi crawled wet on the side of a speedboat, looked at the picture just taken in the monitor, and shook his head.
"Director Xiao, it's okay, the picture is very good this time. The assistant director on the speedboat said with some reluctance, Xiao Yi has jumped more than a dozen times, you know, this is a real jump from a freighter more than ten meters high into the sea.
"No, don't you feel that my expression was very wrong when I jumped ship?" Xiao Yi said and swam towards the soft ladder lowered by the freighter again.
When shooting the picture of fighting pirates in the seawater, Xiao Yi did not shoot in the swimming pool as in his previous life, but directly chose a calmer sea area to shoot, he tried to shoot the picture more realistically, and did not want to add too many special effects!
For Xiao Yi, fighting underwater is not as difficult as others think, because in his previous life, it was also part of his daily training.
But as Xiao Yi's opponents, several foreign actors are very uncomfortable, the sea water is not fresh water, and it is very uncomfortable to open their eyes inside, and they have to make various movements, coupled with the constant push of the dark tide, making every action they make is very laborious!
Just this scene, it took more than half a month to shoot, it was too difficult, the eyes of several foreign actors were even swollen, and one was admitted to the hospital because of corneal inflammation, and even Xiao Yi's eyes were red.
At this time, it has been a month since Deng Yue and Zhou Bin were sent to the military camp to experience, and they finally returned to the crew.
Looking at the two tanned guys in front of him, Xiao Yi was very happy and patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "Haha, yes, this is a little bit of a soldier." β
As a result, the two didn't give him a good look, and they all pushed Xiao Yi away, "Go away, we don't want to pay attention to you!"
"What's the matter, I didn't offend you, why do you look like you don't want to see me. β
"Hmph, you're embarrassed to say, you just sent us to the barracks to experience life, why didn't you tell me in advance that the barracks we went to was a special forces training base?" Zhou Bin gritted his teeth.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, that, isn't that to be effective in the shortest possible time, it is impossible for ordinary military camps to train you in a month." β
"Hmph, you wait for Xiao Yi for me, and I'll settle accounts with you later!" Zhou Bin said.
Deng Yue also looked at Xiao Yi with an unkind face and didn't speak, but his expression and eyes had already expressed his mood very clearly.
Then he started filming Deng Yue's scenes that had been interrupted before, and sure enough, after a month of cramming training, Deng Yue really had the meaning of a soldier and had met Xiao Yi's requirements, so it only took two days to finish filming the rest of Deng Yue's scenes.
"Come, everyone congratulates our brother Yue on his completion, hahaha. After the evening was busy, everyone sat down to eat together, Xiao Yi raised his wine glass and said loudly.
"Oh! Congratulations to Brother Yue!"
The others shouted loudly.
"Thank you, thank you. Deng Yue got up and bowed slightly politely.
After sitting down, Deng Yue leaned over to Xiao Yi's side and said, "You kid actually threw me into the special forces training camp for a month just for such a camera?
"Hehe, Brother Yue, don't worry, I'm not just letting you experience life in the barracks for this movie, and there's more to come. β
"And?"
"Yes, when this movie is finished, I still have a play, and then you will not be a supporting role, but one of the protagonists. β
"Hahaha, that's good, that's great, you kid is still so reliable. Deng Yue happily patted Xiao Yi's shoulder and laughed.
"But Brother Yue, you can't stop exercising after you go back, you must maintain your physical fitness, otherwise you will have to go to the barracks again." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I will definitely keep exercising every day. Hearing Xiao Yi say that he would enter the barracks by himself, Deng Yue waved his hand busily and promised.
......
The scene by the sea has been filmed, and Xiao Yi and the others have come to an abandoned factory in Caiyun Province in southwest China, where they will shoot the most exciting and difficult scenes of the film!
The entire crew of nearly 1,000 people, riding the bus mightily, just entered the factory gate, and saw a row of soldiers in the uniforms of the Chinese Army standing there, and behind them were neatly parked several steel giants - the main tank of the previous generation of Huaxia "Apocalypse"!
"Wow, what a domineering tank, it's the first time I've seen a tank so closely. β
"We're not really going to use these tanks for filming, are we?"
"Those soldiers are so handsome. β
"It's really shocking, how did Director Xiao contact these tanks?"
......
When the crew saw those tanks, they let out exclamations, and even the professionals hired from abroad in the crew were surprised.
The assistant director from the military took Xiao Yi to the other party for a simple handover, and the soldiers returned to their temporary tents to rest in an orderly manner, leaving only those mighty tanks!
When filming the gunfight scene, Xiao Yi's skilled and professional tactical movements, and his ruthless and sharp way of shooting during the fight, surprised the military instructors in charge of action guidance on the side and the martial arts instructors of the Longwei team.
"Brother Xiao, have you really never been a soldier? Why do I look at your tactical movements and nothing like ordinary soldiers can master?" the instructor sent by the army looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously and asked.
Xiao Yi didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say vaguely: "I usually exercise regularly, and in order to make this movie, I searched for some information on the Internet and studied it myself for a while." β
The instructor was about to ask something, but Xiao Yi hurriedly found an excuse and walked away, if he continued to ask, he really couldn't explain.
In this abandoned factory, Xiao Yi and the others stayed for more than a month before they finished filming those scenes of fights and shootouts, and now only the most important and difficult tank chase scenes are left to shoot.
"Director Xiao, is this really okay?"
"There's nothing that can't be done, our tank performance is fully capable of completing those actions, and there are no technical problems. β
"But what if the tank is damaged?"
"I don't care about this, it's your business, you can ask your superiors for instructions, I'm only responsible for making the film!"
Xiao Yi was discussing with the military assistant director about tank collisions and drifts.
The assistant director looked helpless, although before he came, the leaders above had explained that everything had to be listened to Xiao Yi, but now when it comes to the possible damage to the active equipment of the army, he can't be the master. I could only call my superiors for instructions, and the answer I got was that it didn't matter if all these tanks were scrapped, and they could just apply to the leaders for the latest "Apocalypse" tanks.
So, Xiao Yi began to arrange filming, under the surprised expressions of the crew and those tank drivers, Xiao Yi went directly into the cab of a tank, and drove the tank to do a big drift, so that everyone present had a hellish expression!
Especially those tank soldiers, although some of them can do this, but it can only be done after several years of training, but this director Xiao Yi, according to his resume, has not even touched tanks, how can he do it?
"Director Xiao, you, have you ever driven a tank before?"
Xiao Yi, who had a good time, got off the tank car, and the assistant director asked with a surprised face.
"Sort of, hehe. Xiao Yi casually fooled around, in his previous life, he had even driven a fighter jet, let alone a small tank.
"Xiao Yi, you kid is okay, you actually drive a tank like this. Zhou Bin also walked over and said.
"Cut, it's a little bit, buddy can still fly a fighter jet. β
"Bragging rights, you. Zhou Bin said disdainfully.
Xiao Yi pursed his lips and didn't speak, thinking that when he was filming a movie about the Air Force one day, he would definitely fly the plane and let this kid see and understand.
"Okay, all units, pay attention, get ready to start shooting!" After arranging all aspects of work, Xiao Yizuan shouted loudly in the tank.

With the shouting of the scene reporter, Xiao Yi immediately drove the tank and galloped up, and in front of the tank car was a photographer standing on the rail car, taking pictures of Xiao Yi's positive expression.
After changing the scene, Xiao Yi drove the tank to a small mound of earth that had been set up in advance!
However, this rush went wrong, and the photographer who had been following the photo mixed under his feet, and fell directly on the side of the tank, Xiao Yi saw that he hurriedly turned the tank controller to the side, but the tank is not the same as a car, and it is not so easy to turn. So, the tank flipped straight to the side!
"Boom!"
"Director Xiao!"
"Xiao Yi!"
"Brother Yi!"
The people around saw that Xiao Yi drove the tank and overturned directly, and hurriedly rushed up.
Because Xiao Yi controlled the tank to deflect a little direction in time, the tank did not press the photographer, so everyone is still most anxious about Xiao Yi now.
"Ahem, I, I'm fine, you guys see if Mike is okay. In the dust raised by the tank, Xiao Yi's voice came.
"Director Xiao, are you okay?"
"It's okay, how's Mike?"
"He's fine, just a fall. β
Xiao Yi also crawled out of the gap between the tank and the ground at this time, he just got dust on his face, but it didn't matter much.
"Damn, this tank steering will always be a problem!" Xiao Yi got up and patted the dust off his body and complained.
"This is a tracked car, can the steering be flexible?" The instructor in the army was also relieved to see that Xiao Yi was fine.
"Okay, since it's all right, let's quickly turn the tank around, and let's continue shooting. β
After that, a crane was called to turn the tank over, and there was no problem, the tank was still very strong.
