Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Critical Moment
ps:I'm sorry.,I don't know what's wrong with that chapter yesterday.,It's not displayed in the catalog.,I'll send a chapter first, and I'll restore it after it's completely solved tomorrow.。
According to the script, Cage would first scrape a pressure tank after driving into the dock.
After the pressure tank was knocked and leaked, it flew around the workers next to it, and this scene was the same as Ke Zihua's memory.
But in order to make the effect better, Ke Zihua decided to change this setting, and let the pressure tank rise into the sky, forcing the pursuing police helicopter to land.
To achieve this, the pressure tank had to be modified to be able to fly into the sky in a directional manner. As for whether Cage's car can touch this pressure tank, and in what direction it will scrape the pressure tank, it depends on the probability.
Anyway, Ke Zihua told the workers who operated the pressure tank, "You just remember one thing, if the direction is wrong, don't press the button." ”
The direction in which the pressure tank lifts off must be in the same direction as the helicopter in the air, but not too close, otherwise it will really hurt the pilot in the plane.
For safety reasons, although the pressure tank looks like metal, it is actually nothing more than a wooden prop.
It is to make a wooden barrel into the shape of a pressure tank, and then install a directional impulse device inside the barrel.
In order to achieve the effect in one go, Ke Zihua arranged camera rentals on top of the two high-raised hanging towers, and also arranged cameramen to shoot close-up pictures at key points.
When editing in the future, you can add close-ups to it if you need to, of course, this is all in the future, Ke Zihua just needs to do the current thing.
The two camera crews in the air, plus three close-up camera crews, plus a main camera, the six camera crews were ready to shoot before Ke Zihua arrived.
The second close-up was when Cage drove around the dock's work area to the warehouse area.
In order to get rid of the police car behind him, he will first do a drift of nearly 90 degrees. Then he sped through a fence, shook off the police car again and got into the open warehouse at the docks.
The special fence has been sent to the dock, and according to the setting of the plot, the police car chasing here will be hit by a hook. Then he broke through the wall.
Originally, there was no such paragraph in the script, but Ke Zihua felt that the scene in his memory was very interesting, so he added this paragraph with the screenwriter Jian Yiyi.
After some research, Ke Zihua felt that he directly smashed the car through the wall, but the police officer in the car was fine. This is somewhat unrealistic and counterintuitive.
And as soon as the audience sees the crane in the camera, they will guess the plot.
So here it is changed to first, the crane driver is attracted by the scene of the pressure tank rising into the air and is distracted, and the normal crane is guided to change direction, and then the police car is forced to stop after smashing through the wall.
In order to increase the suddenness of the incident, Ke Zihua asked the camera crew placed here to only take close-ups of the police car that was hit, instead of letting the crane appear in the lens, and hand over the matter of filming the crane to the aerial film crew.
The third close-up is much simpler. After driving into the open warehouse, Cage was overtaken by other police cars, driving up a ramp before he fled the docks.
On the slope, dock workers drove forklifts to deliver goods, Cage escaped from the dock after dodging the moving forklift, and the police car that followed hit the forklift at once.
Ke Zihua decided to replace Cage to complete this scene, he was worried that Cage and the forklift workers would not cooperate well, in order not to affect the coherence of the shot. Ke Zihua would wear the same clothes as Cage and drive the same sports car, waiting in the open warehouse.
As soon as Cage enters the warehouse, the main cameraman will cut the camera to Ke Zihua's side. Then it's up to him to do the rest of the shot.
As for the unlucky policeman who crashed into the forklift, he had to be played by Bandy, because it was just a very simple stunt, so Ke Zihua was also very relieved of Bandy.
In Los Angeles at the beginning of November, the sun was still shining at 3 p.m., and the abundant sunlight created excellent conditions for location shooting.
See that all personnel are ready. Director Senna focused his eyes on the surveillance screen, and as the sign of the scene record fell with a "click", Senna shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Action! ”
Cage, who had already started the sports car, stepped on the accelerator immediately after receiving the order, and this was the first time he drove the classic Mustang sports car "Eleanor" for filming.
It wasn't until near the shoot that Cage finally got the keys to "Eleanor", who had been soaking in the training ground all afternoon yesterday, obsessed with the beastly howl of "Eleanor" and the thrill of speeding.
Unlike the Chinese people who are simply obsessed with the shape of sports cars, the people of this country are crazy about cars, and they pay more attention to the mechanical performance of the vehicle than the super cool appearance, of course, if they can have both, it is naturally better.
And this "Eleanor" is precisely one of the most classic models, it not only has a super cool appearance, but also has a very strong horsepower, no wonder both Senna and Cage treat it as a baby.
Especially after modifying the borla rear row, as long as it reaches 5000 rpm, it will make a shocking roar, and the sound can make people's blood boil!
As the saying goes: no borla, no wild horses!
When Cage has such a car, he immediately becomes the most heroic fighter, even the most dangerous maneuvers he dares to do!
At the same time, Ke Zihua, who was on standby in the warehouse, also launched his own car, although it was not the "Eleanor" of 67, but it was also modified from other models of the Mustang, and under the exquisite skills of Brant and others, it could almost be fake.
After waiting for a while, Senna saw from the surveillance screen that Cage was rushing into the filming area in the "Eleanor", and immediately clenched his fists nervously, muttering incessantly: "Bump, bump, bump." ”
Immediately afterward, after Cage dodged a forklift, a beautiful drift shook off the police car behind him, and at the same time, the rear of his car also scraped the pressure tank standing next to it.
Senna hurriedly shouted into the intercom, "Press quickly!" ”
The direction, the location, are as precise as imagined!
This can make Senna very excited, Ke Zihua has already given him a preventive shot, if this shot can't pass guò, then I'm afraid I have to keep shooting it again and again until the desired effect is filmed.
The next moment, Senna switched the video to the close-up camera crew guarding the side, and saw the pressure tank bang into the sky, and hit the helicopter in the air, the helicopter quickly dodged the pressure tank that hit at a rapid speed, so it lost its direction and fell into the sea next to it.
Although it looks thrilling, in fact, it is just a helicopter rented by the crew that is about to be scrapped, and the engine stops turning the moment the plane is planted after modification.
And the stuntmen on board are also actors who specialize in underwater escape performances, so there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety.
After the plane fell into the water, there was naturally a special search and rescue ship to search for the actor, and Senna was not worried about the problem over there, but switched the screen to Cage's side again.
At this time, Cage had already completed that super beautiful ninety-degree drift and drove in the direction of the warehouse.
Because it was the first time to shoot like this, Senna was busy enough, and when he saw Cage driving to the warehouse, he quickly switched the video to the second close-up camera crew.
Then he saw that when the speeding police car drove to the wall, it was suddenly smashed by a huge hook that broke through the wall, and then hit the opposite shelf and stopped.
In order to not only achieve the effect of shooting, but also ensure the safety of the driver in the police car, this police car has also undergone special modifications, not only replaced with a special steel skeleton, but also installed a closed anti-collision guardrail in the cab.
In this way, if there is an accident, the hook directly hits the cab, which can also protect the safety of the driver to the greatest extent.
The driver of the car, a specially hired stuntman, was prompted to speed up slightly when the hook hit the wall, so that the hook slammed into the back of the cab.
"Perfect!"
Senna slapped his thigh excitedly, and then quickly switched the camera to Ke Zihua's side, at which time Ke Zihua had already replaced Cage and drove the modified Mustang out of the warehouse.
Since Ke Zihua and the forklift worker needed to complete this scene together, Ke Zihua and the forklift worker both brought headset intercoms.
This is a very narrow passage, the forklift workers must keep the forklift forward at a constant speed, and leave enough distance for Ke Zihua, if he drives slowly, the distance will be too large, and it doesn't look so thrilling.
And if he drives fast, then Ke Zihua can only have a close contact with the steel fork in front of the forklift, in that case, damaging the car is a small matter, and delaying the shooting is a big deal!
You must know that in order to shoot such a set of shots, Senna spent nearly three million US dollars like flowing water, and now even the most difficult pressure tank is shot perfectly, if something happens to them here, Ke Zihua will lose his adult.
Seeing that there were less than two hundred meters to reach the predetermined area, Ke Zihua hurriedly said: "Eric, let's go!" ”
Before filming, they had already deduced the speed of forklifts and mustang carts, and also tried to pre-shoot a few times, so Ke Zihua was still very confident in this shot.
After receiving the order, Eric drove the forklift forward slowly, while Ke Zihua directly stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed towards the forklift and the narrow passage.
At this moment, Senna was so nervous that he almost didn't dare to look at the screen, and he didn't even dare to imagine what a tragic scene would be when Ke Zihua drove a Mustang sports car and collided with a steel fork at a speed of more than 100 per hour.
Because he was too nervous, Senna couldn't stop muttering: "Be sure to go down the lì tong guò, don't bump into it, and don't have any accidents!" ”
However, what no one expected was that at this critical moment, an unexpected thing happened! (To be continued.) )
