This snow came a little violently, from the initial small snowflakes to goose feathers and heavy snow, causing the entire crew to be trapped in the room by weather factors, which affected the progress.

Every idle day costs a day's budget, and even every second is a loss.

In addition to going to the filming site of "The Truman Show", Li Zhifan was drinking with everyone in the lower bar of the base, and it seemed that his days had become slower.

In the bar, after a few glasses of wine, Li Zhifan rubbed his stomach, exhaled a breath of wine, and said: "The arrangements are made over there in Africa, when the snow stops and the flight can take off, I will take someone to Africa for a few days first, and then stop here!"

"You'll have to be careful!"

The assistant director was also already drunk, and said with a wine burp, "It's a mess over there, you guys are careful of being robbed!"

"I'm prepared!"

Li Zhifan said, "I asked the military to contact the peacekeeping troops, and they will assist us in filming.

"Just in case!"

The assistant director said worriedly, "Just last year, they went to Africa to shoot a documentary, and they were looted several times, otherwise you don't go, I'll take someone there!"

"I'm the star, how can I not go?"

Li Zhifan waved his hand and said, "I can't do anything about cutting out the picture, these days I've been gone, you have to take the team well, no one can have an accident, although it is in a state of rest, the discipline of the crew must still be observed!"

"I understand!" the assistant director squeezed out a smile, "By the way, I have contacted Dalian Haida, we can shoot underwater scenes at any time, and the school gives great support, their survival training hall is not only closed for us to shoot, but also arranges for the school's coaches and teachers to assist us in completing the shooting!"

"Really?

Li Zhifan sat up all of a sudden, "I'll go, let's shoot directly when I'm ready, what are you waiting for, what time are you wasting here?"

"No, isn't it snowing, how can we get there when it's cold?"

The assistant director originally said it in passing, but seeing that Li Zhifan suddenly became excited, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Besides, I looked at the weather forecast, and it is snowing in Dalian! It's even bigger than ours here!"

Originally, the underwater scene was filmed in a lake or river, but the professional underwater filming crew of the American production team said that the visibility of the natural waters is very low, and the bacteria in the water are easy to infect, not to mention the damage to the environment.

So any underwater shot, if you want clarity, you can only shoot in closed, specially prepared waters.

Li Zhifan didn't believe in evil at first, but after looking for several places, he found that what the professionals said was true, even if he went to the sea to shoot underwater scenes, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, and he had to turn on lights in the water, which was not easy to do in the active waters.

The art of a movie is the essence of the soul, whether it is the scene, the shooting composition, or the rendering in post-production, it is the work of art.

This Dalian Maritime University was found by the art of the crew, and the survival training hall over there has a special underwater simulation system, and many underwater scenes in movies were filmed there.

A "Deep Sea Fleet" released last year, the underwater scenes of the entire drama were filmed in the venue, this is no secret, the industry knows that this time the filming of "Wolf Warrior" also made an appointment with Haida to make an appointment, and they agreed without saying a word, and gave it great attention.

"That's it!"

Li Zhifan stood up and waved his hand, "Take the nearest train to Dalian, go over to see the venue, finalize the plan and start filming directly, you go and call the underwater shooting team, as well as the four actors involved in the shooting, let them start preparing!"

"This ...... Are you sure?" the assistant director pointed outside, the snow was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping.

"I'm sure!"

Li Zhifan hugged his arms and said, "Other athletes insist on training regardless of the cold, what are we afraid of?"

"Okay!"

The assistant director had no choice but to stand up and cooperate with Li Zhifan's request to find the personnel involved in the filming.

As a result, when I heard that Li Zhifan was going to shoot an underwater scene in this weather, the whole crew was surprised.

……

"Zhifan, aren't you? You're going to Dalian to shoot an underwater scene now?"

Wang Yue ran in and pulled Li Zhifan incredibly.

"Not now, but right now, at least let me get a good night's sleep, right?"

Li Zhifan was lying on the bed, his cheeks were red after drinking wine.

"Crazy, do you know how many degrees there are in Dalian?" Wang Yue shouted, "You are still on the train, what should you do if you are recognized on the road?"

Li Zhifan said: "Don't worry, I checked the itinerary and can leave tomorrow!"

"Ming ......" Wang Yue was a little angry and almost bit his tongue, "Okay, tomorrow." Do you know how many degrees it will be tomorrow? If it doesn't snow tomorrow, it's colder than today's snow, you know?"

"I know!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Go out quickly! Don't disturb my sleep, I have to go to see the venue in the afternoon!"

"You ......"

Wang Yue was willing to go, sitting on the edge of the bed and chattering and persuading Li Zhifan.

But it didn't work at all, and Li Zhifan soon snored.

At this time, Ole rushed in again: "Director, I heard that you are going to take an adventure? Oh, no! I advise you not to try, you must know that if you go to shoot an underwater scene in this kind of ghost weather, if you have pneumonia caused by a cold, see what you can do!"

A dozen more people came in after him, including Lilith and others.

"Ole!"

Li Zhifan couldn't pretend to be asleep, so he opened his eyes and sat up and said, "The diving pool has a constant temperature, between 25 and 27 degrees, not zero degrees, so you can rest assured! Besides, there is air conditioning in the venue over there!"

"No, no, no!"

Ole pinched the bridge of his nose, and then waved his hands gently in the air, "I mean, it has nothing to do with the temperature of the water, but with the weather, do you know the weather?

"The weather is not a hindrance!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Do we have to wait until the hot summer to shoot? Or do we shoot in hot water? No, I think as long as you are ready, you can do it at any time!"

"Zhifan!" Lilith said much softer than the two of them, but she still looked at Li Zhifan with worried eyes, "Are you not feeling well? Your face is so red, what you just said should be wine, right?"

"No, I'm awake now!" Li Zhifan lay down and said, "I just want to sleep for a while now!"

"Oh......" Ole patted his head, leaning his neck to look at the ceiling.

"Let him sleep, maybe he'll change his mind when he wakes up?" Lilith said.

Everyone looked at Li Zhifan and had to leave the room temporarily.

……

Everyone did not wait for Li Zhifan's "lost way to return", he was still "obsessed" to go to Dalian.

At the end of the year, tickets could not be bought at all, so the crew found a relationship through the Beijing Military Region, and directly arranged for an additional carriage to be used by the crew alone.

Arriving in Dalian, the crew took a bus and rushed to the Maritime University non-stop, where the school prepared a place for the crew to live and chartered a small hotel near the school.

When they settled, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the crew stayed in the hotel to gesture, and Li Zhifan took the assistant director and all the professional underwater cameramen to visit the person in charge of the school.

They were received by a vice principal of the school and the director of the survival training hall, and the school was on vacation, both of whom lived in the city, and rushed back to receive them temporarily.

"Mr. Li, this is our survival training hall!"

The vice principal's name is Yuan Changjiang, with a bald head, a short and fat figure, and a look of old and serious, "Our training hall here is open to the public all year round, integrating swimming, water entertainment, competition and training. Well, now for the Spring Festival, many foreign tourists come to Dalian to travel, and they still brave the wind and snow to come to play. ”

"Then let's make a movie! If you close the museum here, will it affect the tourists?"

Li Zhifan asked, "After all, we only use one simulation pool!"

"No!" Yuan Changjiang said with a smile, "The underwater simulation training hall is a separate one, because many crews come to us to shoot movies, so we took this factor into account at the beginning of the design, and the closure is only closed here, and it does not affect the others!"

At this time, the group had already come to the second floor of the venue, and there were really many tourists coming in and out.

Li Zhifan pointed to the tourists over there and said to the people accompanying him: "See, in this kind of weather, there are so many people coming to swim, looking at the spirit of others, how can we retreat?"

Several foreigners smiled bitterly, they have always only made movies for the spirit of artistic adventure, since Li Zhifan insists on filming at this season, naturally no one will back down.

The water depth of the shooting place is two to five meters, and the area is about 100 square meters.

This underwater survival simulation pool is also open to the public, just like a live CS and shooting range, and not only tourists come to try it, but also school students have training time here.

Playing against Li Zhifan are four black actors, who are strong and good at underwater fighting kung fu, and used to be professional divers, and the maximum time of underwater breath holding can reach four minutes.

Li Zhifan will not specifically ask to shoot the six-minute shot in one go, but it can only be divided into two at most, in order to be able to quickly sink to the bottom of the water, he imitated the original shooting method, proposed a way to tie iron to his body, and arranged six lifeguards underwater, ready to rescue at any time during the shooting.

"The venue is perfect!"

Li Zhifan looked around for a while and said, "And the underwater sand and gravel completely saves us the need for the set, not bad! Principal Yuan, if we can, we plan to start filming as soon as possible, as early as tomorrow, and at the latest the day after tomorrow!"

"I understand!"

Principal Yuan said happily, "Then this side will be handed over to our Curator Liu, you can find him for anything, and he can provide you with as much help as possible." ”

Every time a location is rented out, there is a fee for the venue, which ultimately goes to the school.

Although the number of days that "Wolf Warrior" was filmed here is not very long compared to the previous "Deep Sea Fleet", it is not short, and it is more than buying tickets for tourists every day.

After looking at the venue, Li Zhifan asked Principal Yuan about the local beach suitable for filming, preferably a venue similar to an African beach, Principal Yuan thought for a few seconds, and said: "There are many such places in our Dalian, and I have been to no less than ten, you know, each of our schools often organizes students to conduct outdoor training, that is, to go to those seaside, why don't I take you for a walk tomorrow, you pick a place?"

"Or ...... Today, right?" Li Zhifan was a little impatient, "Principal Yuan, if you are busy, you can give us the address, and we can find it ourselves!"

"Busy! Sure!"

Principal Yuan laughed, "In this way, I'll find a car and take everyone with me!"

Li Zhifan looked at the staff behind him and said to the assistant director: "If you want you to take everyone back to the hotel to rest first, I'll take Robles and Gong Fan to see it!"

Robles is the head of the American shooting team, and Gong Fan is the head of the art and props team of the crew, so they can accompany Li Zhifan.

"Okay, then slow down!"

The assistant director said, "I'll arrange for everyone to have dinner together in the evening!"

"Okay!" Li Zhifan naturally heard what he meant, it seemed that a meal with Principal Yuan tonight was inevitable.

Not long after, Principal Yuan called an SUV and his driver.

Li Zhifan thought that the place he went to was very close, but he didn't expect to drive directly to the sea, and it was far away from the city.

"Let's go to the first place first!"

Principal Yuan said confidently, "There is no development there, our school goes back there for training all the year round, and the site was sold to the developer four years ago, saying that it is going to build a beach park, but there has been no plan to start construction, but the developer is my classmate, you have to take a fancy to it, I can help you build a bridge, the rental fee is free, you can shoot as much as you want." ”

"Really?"

Li Zhifan said embarrassedly, "You have to worry about it!"

"Hey, it's okay, since we're working together, we're friends, I'm happy to help my friends!"

Principal Yuan said very open-mindedly, "And he is my friend, you are also my friend, everyone is a friend, right?"

Li Zhifan and Gong Fan can understand it, but Robert is confused, he has also learned a few words of Chinese in the crew during this time, but there are only a few sentences, including you, me, him, friends, etc., but when they are combined, he doesn't know what it means.
