Chapter Seventy-Five: Desperate Photography
"Am I already asleep? Is this a dream? ”。
"Am I hallucinating?".
"Is this really a movie?".
The light smoke flew by, Chen Yongren coughed twice, endured the discomfort in his eyes and ears, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "All units hurry up to report their own conditions, are there any accidents?" ”。
"The blasting team is safe, and there are no accidents......".
"No. 1 Photography Group ...... normally".
"The second photography group is ...... normally".
……
Confirming that everything was normal, Chen Yongren breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it for tonight, everyone has worked hard, pack up your things, and continue tomorrow night; Director Wang will come to me right away......".
In less than two minutes, Wang Jing ran over with a grizzled face, panting, and said excitedly: "Ah Ren, it's really you, I haven't seen such a big scene ......."
"Okay......"; Chen Yongren interrupted Wang Jing and said: "The crew moved too much just now, attracting a group of reporters, I don't bother to pay attention to them, you go and help me send it away!" ”。
Wang Jing's face was bitter and said: "I will lose face if I appear like this now!" Can't you tell someone else to go? ”。
Chen Yongren said as he walked: "Now the only people who can represent the crew here are the teacher, the senior brother and you and me, the teacher is definitely not good, I and the senior brother don't like this kind of thing, as one of the directors, who are you not on?" ”。
"I don't like it either!".
"Now we are still in the crew, I am the chief director, you are the assistant director, do you need me to explain more?"; Chen Yongren's eyes looked at Wang Jing calmly.
Wang Jing froze when he heard this, turned around silently, and walked towards the reporter.
The next day, the whole Taipei was lively, and all major media were reporting on Chen Yongren's filming last night......
""Die Hard" was 'hot' shooting, and the well-known director 'declared war' on Taipei!".
"Last night's bombing incident was really revealed-Zhang Che, Chen Yongren, Wu Yulin!"
"Hong Kong films are 'terrorizing', and Taiwanese films are in crisis......".
……
The filming of "Die Hard" was too loud, and finally attracted the attention of Hong Kong and Taiwan media again, and many media rushed to the Tengfei Building after the explosion to shoot the scene that day, all of which were shocked.
Chen Yongren also didn't think about stopping these situations, everything was beneficial to the promotion of the movie, and there was no reason to stop it.
Tengfei Building looks very miserable, in fact, it is just watching, but some glass is damaged, the scene is chaotic, and some places are blackened by smoke; The damaged glass was also replaced with cheap glass before filming, and all expenses during the filming process were controlled by producer Choi Baozhu, who is a woman's talent.
In order to shoot "Die Hard", the crew, including Chen Yongren, has often reversed black and white in the past month, and sometimes if he has to rush to work under special circumstances, he can't even close his eyes for a day and night, so he cherishes the rare rest time, but now someone dares not to let him go along with his wishes......
"If you don't give me a reason to be satisfied, you're ready to ......".
"What to prepare?"; Zhang Manyu smiled, her eyes were like a pair of crescent moons.
"A Yu ......"; Chen Yongren was pleasantly surprised: "When did you come back?" Why didn't you tell me in advance? ”。
Zhang Manyu wrinkled her nose and muttered angrily: "I told you four days ago that I went back to Hong Kong yesterday, and you didn't care about people at all!" ”。
Chen Yongren was stunned for a while, and recalled carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, he seemed to have promised Zhang Manyu to pick up the plane, just when the filming of "Die Hard" was at a critical juncture, he was so busy that he forgot about it.
"I'm sorry, I ......"; Chen Yongren looked apologetic and lowered his head.
"It's okay ......".
Chen Yongren looked up in surprise, but heard Zhang Manyu say: "I know you work hard to make movies......"; The latter looked at Chen Yongren's cheeks and said distressedly: "Your face is so bad, and you still have these mustaches...... It's so prickly! ”。
Chen Yongren was happy in his heart, and thought that this little girl had learned to care and be considerate of people, but he didn't expect to say it...... There is a feeling of moe.
"Hey...... You two don't exist when I don't exist, do you? ”。
Chen Yongren turned his head strangely, with a look of surprise, "How can there be another person!" ”。
Zhong Changhong gritted her teeth when she heard this, this bastard, I haven't found out that there is such a person as me for a long time; has no heart and lungs, and I keep saying good things for him in front of Ah Yu.
The more Zhong Changhong thought about it, the more angry she became, she said with a straight face: "You go on, I'm going to find Sister Qingxia......"; Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the side.
Chen Yongren scratched his head and said inexplicably: "As for it...... It's been so long since we've seen each other, can't you just make a joke? ”; Suddenly smiled at Zhang Manyu and said, "Isn't she the eldest aunt?" ”。
Zhang Manyu's face flushed, and she slapped Chen Yongren in the chest, and said angrily: "You can't be serious? ”。
Chen Yongren's complexion changed greatly, his body softened, leaned against the door, and coughed violently while clutching his chest; Zhang Manyu was frightened: "What's wrong with you?" ”。
Chen Yongren coughed and said: "When I was filming two days ago...... Ahem, something happened and I have injuries...... Ahem! ”。
"Ah...... I'm sorry! Zhang Manyu looked worried, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "I'll help you call a doctor ......."
"No need to ......"; Chen Yongren hurriedly grabbed Zhang Manyu and said with a smile: "The doctor said that there is no way to do this injury, the most important thing is to rest more, plus biological electrostatic therapy!" ”。
"What is bioelectrostatic therapy?"
"It's a massage, you can just rub it for me......".
"Oh...... I'll help you to sit down on the couch first! ”。
"No, go to bed, the doctor said massage...... It is best to lie down during the treatment, which can promote blood circulation and smooth meridians! ”。
Zhang Manyu helped Chen Yongren and said strangely: "Aren't you a director?" You don't have to play in person, how can you get hurt? ”。
Chan explains: "There are times when I need to demonstrate in person! ”。
Zhang Manyu looked at Chen Yongren's naked upper body, "You don't look like there's anything wrong with you!" ”。
"Internal injuries ......," Chen Yongren said seriously; put on a pitiful look and said, "Hurry up and help me knead, I'm so uncomfortable......."
"Where?"; Maggie Cheung said blankly.
"My whole body is uncomfortable...... Chen Yongren closed his eyes and said.
That night, everyone in the crew found their director in high spirits, in good spirits, and full of passion and energy in his work.
"The model is just like this, it must be cautious, cautious, cautious, understand?".
Wang Jing cried with a sad face, "Boss, you have said it three times today, and it is always three times each time, don't I let you rest assured?" ”。
Chen Yongren maintained a casual smile, "Say important things three times, click important things three times, my habit is ......."
The important scenes are all filmed at the end, and tonight is also the big ** of the movie, and the robbers blew up the unfinished top floor of the Tengfei Building.
The protagonist jumps from the roof of a nearly 40-story building with a fire hose, and two helicopters piloted by investigators from the Taiwan Security Bureau also need to explode one of them.
But of course it's not a real helicopter, it's a specially customized model machine, the propeller is made of steel, the fuselage is made of ordinary iron, there is only such a frame, and there are some messy things stuffed in it.
In the original version, a helicopter crashed downstairs, and only a normal shot was given, and Chen Yongren made some changes here, and he moved the ending of the fifth film in the series to the end.
The helicopter crashed into the center of the building because of a steel cable, and Chen Yongren wanted to show the current bigwigs what a real commercial movie is; Let the audience see what is the real enjoyment of watching movies; For Chinese filmmakers to see, what is the visual impact......
However, the future shots and scenes are all completed through mature special effects post-production, but now there is no such condition, and even if there is, it cannot be completed with the existing shooting funds, so Chen Yongren thought of a way.
He specially hired a few physics experts to fix a special steel cable on the top floor to connect the helicopter model through the calculation of floor heights, helicopter models and other data.
When the top floor is blasted, the helicopter does not fall downstairs, but instead crashes into the center of the building with inertial force, which is the floor where the protagonist flies to the floor.
However, this is too dangerous for the two scenes to be carried out on the same side, the helicopter crash shot by Chen Yongren himself on the east side of the building, the shot of the protagonist jumping into the same floor shot by Huang Yuetai, and the external macro shot controlled by Wu Yulin, and finally composited through editing post-production.
At first, several key members of the crew vigorously rejected Chen Yongren's idea, including Zhang Che himself; You can work hard to make movies, but in their opinion, Chen Yongren's approach is not desperate, but playing with his life.
Chen Yongren's answer is - "We have to believe in the experts, everything has been accurately calculated by the experts, and this decision is made in full accordance with the data of mathematics, physics, logic, application and so on, the only question is human psychology and behavior, I control the footage of the plane falling, who is with me?" ”。
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Chen Yongren said helplessly: "In fact, the protagonist's shot can be completed by fixing the camera, the big deal is to damage a camera, and then you just need to deal with the work outside the building!" ”。
At this time, Zhang Che slapped the table, "Okay...... I'm old and my heart is not old, Ah Ren, I'll be with you! ”。
Wu Yulin was shocked and persuaded: "Teacher, I'm the executive director, or I'll come......."
Huang Yuetai also blushed and had a thick neck, "I am the first photographer of the crew......
It turned out that talented people were very high-spirited, and everyone argued endlessly, and finally decided that Chen Yongren and Huang Yuetai would be in charge of the inside of the building, and Zhang Che and Prime Minister Wu Yulin would shoot outside.
