Lin Mingyang's "do my own thing" met Julie's "unique rebellion", in the case of scandals flying all over the world and the paparazzi being everywhere, the two staged a passionate scene in the dressing room, during which they were not broken, and their creativity and boldness were a perfect match.

But they soon discovered that there was one person in the crew who was bolder, crazier and more imaginative than them, and that was the director Beckman Betov. In front of a plot discussion with Lin Mingyang, Jolie and veteran movie star Morgan Freeman, the director from Russia announced a startling decision.

He designed a special shooting technique for the killers in the film, that is, the "shaking hand bowl", and their guns have no rifling in them, and they will not shoot according to a certain trajectory when shooting, but shoot in a certain arc by shaking their hands, and finally bypass the obstacles in front of them and shoot the target behind them. The idea of a bullet turning in flight was inspired by a missile, and he saw the missile launch on television and wanted the bullet to follow the same arc.

In order to put this idea into practice, Beckman Betov designed an incomparably gorgeous ultra-long-range curved headshot sniper at the beginning of the film, which seemed to several leading actors to be incredible.

Although "Wanted" is a movie that plays with guns, everyone thinks that Beckman Betov has played a little too high this time, and he has simply played the romantic shootout to the extreme. But this kind of setting, which is obviously contrary to common sense, is estimated to be difficult for the audience to accept.

Among the leading actors, Lin Mingyang is actually the one who knows Beckman Betov best, and he knows that the Russian director has an unusually treacherous imagination for the picture. In his mind, he still clearly remembers the scene of Temur's war horse penetrating the city wall and the sports car flicking its tail on the wall of the building in "The Keeper", which is not only "super cool" to describe, it is simply peerless. Generally speaking, foreign directors will always hold back when they first arrive in Hollywood, but I didn't expect this guy to have no stage fright at all, and he still played very arrogantly this time.

Morgan Freeman looked hesitant, while the bold and blunt Julie took the lead in questioning Beckman Betov's ideas.

"How does a bullet turn in the air, how does that sound like an April Fool's joke?"

Beckman Betov originally had a little knowledge of English, and after several months of surprise study, he was basically able to master the usual English conversations. Julie's words didn't need to be explained by a translator, and he understood what they meant as soon as he heard them.

He sat there with a pale face, when filming in Russia, no actor would question his ideas, but this is Hollywood, and the three people sitting in front of him are all big stars, and their opinions are enough to influence the attitude of the producers.

Julie's question reminded Lin Mingyang of a movie that has not yet appeared, called "Life and Death Sniper". The plot of this film is average, but the introduction of sniper technology in it shows the most realistic side of sniping. The most important point is that it finally faces up to the problem that the trajectory is not a straight line at long distances.

Seeing Beckman Betov sitting there without speaking, Lin Mingyang could only explain the problem to Julie instead of him: "The flight trajectory of the bullet in reality is not an absolute straight line. After a certain distance, the bullet will actually float up and then fall during flight. So in reality, when you really do long-range sniping, the crosshair of the scope is not directly facing the target. The sniper should mentally calculate the distance of the trajectory deviation according to his distance from the target, the wind speed at that time, and other conditions. So sniping is not actually a hand-held job, and real sniping may be more demanding on brain power. ”

In all the film and television works that Lin Mingyang has seen so far, the subjective shots about sniping are aimed at the target. It is probably not that Hollywood directors don't understand the knowledge of sniping, but that they are afraid that the general audience will not understand. Rather than bothering to explain, it is better to simply shoot it as "looks accurate".

It is true that the bullet does not fly in a straight line in reality, but it is definitely not as natural as Bekman Betov envisioned, and Lin Mingyang's explanation is not enough to support Bekman Betov's idea. The plot discussion broke up unhappily, Beckman Betov left the conference room without saying a word, and Lin Mingyang also stood up, but he found that Julie next to him and Morgan Freeman opposite didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Felix, do you really think it's a wise decision to be part of this film?" In front of Morgan Freeman, Julie asked very directly.

Lin Mingyang was stunned for a moment, he pulled out the chair and sat down again, "Do you regret it?" ”

"I think that Russian is a little unreliable!" Julie did not shy away from saying what was in her heart, and in Morgan Freeman's eyes, Lin Mingyang also saw the same worry, which is probably the reason why he stayed.

"Geniuses, before they become geniuses, often bear the title of madman." Lin Mingyang smiled slightly, "A few years ago, when "The Matrix" appeared, everyone was amazed that the Wachowski brothers created 'bullet time', and the audience screamed that the bullet could be locked instantly, and was excited for every action scene in the camera. Because of the Hacker series, we think the Wachowski brothers are not just directors, but philosophers. ”

Morgan Freeman finally spoke, "Are you saying that this idea of a bullet turn will become as classic as 'bullet time'?" ”

Lin Mingyang nodded, "I think it's very possible, if "Hacker" has created a trend, then "Wanted" is undoubtedly a follower of this trend. It's just that in terms of ideology, our directors are not as deep as the Wachowski brothers. He's a complete visionary, or 'sleepwalker' might be more appropriate to describe him. After watching his "Night Watch" and "The Watchman", you will definitely agree with me. ”

"So he's sleepwalking and creating a bunch of supermen who can pair the wings of flies with guns?" Julie's words still have a strong sense of irony.

Lin Mingyang shook his head, "A good movie doesn't have to be exhaustive, I prefer works that may have shortcomings in some aspects but are done to the extreme in some aspects, because anything to the extreme is king." ”

"Believe my judgment, Beckmanbetov is definitely a person who can take the sense of form to the extreme, and he can fill the void of the plot content with imaginative images; Cover up the messiness of the story itself with the coolness of the appearance. This is definitely a kind of ability, like packaging an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications into a superstar. really did that, what the original superstar looked like, whether he was educated or not, no longer mattered. Because superstars, there is no need to respond, only to express. ”

At first, many actors thought that the hand-shaking shooting method designed by Beckman Betov was strange and very awkward to practice, until Lin Mingyang took the lead in believing that it was feasible, and Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman followed suit, and did it well, and the other actors followed suit.

With the help of Lin Mingyang, Beckman Betov survived the crisis of confidence in the crew, which made the relationship between the two go further, and private exchanges became more frequent. Beckman Betov soon discovered that it was a good option to talk to Lin Mingyang, a way for him to practice speaking and discuss topics of interest to everyone.

At about 10 o'clock that night, Julie sneaked into Lin Mingyang's room, preparing to stay here for the night. Before Julie, who had just changed into a nightdress after taking a shower, had time to make love with Lin Mingyang, the good things of the two were interrupted by a banging knock on the door. In desperation, Lin Mingyang could only let Julie wrap a blanket in the bathroom to temporarily avoid the limelight, and he dressed himself to open the door.

Beckman Betov came at a bad time today, when he opened the door and saw that it was him, the smile on Lin Mingyang's face was very reluctant, and his heart was even more bitter. He had expected to be able to get the visitor away in a few minutes, but this time he estimated that Julie would have to spend some time in the bathroom this time.

As soon as they met, Beckman Betov excitedly shouted: "Felix, I watched the two movies you recommended to me, and I feel that Kurt Vimmol is simply my confidant in terms of the way he expresses guns!" ”

Hollywood movies have always adhered to two different systems in their handling of gunfights: realism and romanticism. Before this distinction emerged, most Hollywood shootout films were about spitting fire at gunpoint, and then focusing on the intensity of the gunfight.

Spielberg's "Saving Private Enre" ushered in a new face of realistic gunfighting, and in this film he focused on the horrific consequences of being shot and then flying with a severed limb and arm in a scene that looked brutal and realistic.

Later, the war film "Black Hawk Down", based on real events, continued this style and took realistic gunplay to the extreme.

The opposite of this is Romanticism, a style that is typified by The Matrix. The Wachowski brothers' invention of 'bullet time' in the film caused a huge sensation. But it is also a bullet avoidance, and Keanu Reeves's gorgeous back-up is not as good as the "Gun Boxing" that came from behind in terms of technical level.

In the films "Torn Doom" and "Deadly Violet", director Kurt Vermore fused kung fu and gunplay to invent "gun fisting", which is actually a kind of bullet dodging. The essence of it is to find a way to make the opponent's gun impossible to point at you, to avoid the opponent's trajectory by changing the posture and position of the body, or to actively remove the opponent's gun so that the opponent can't shoot yourself.

Although this kind of thing is a little inexplicable by Kurt Vimore, it is really interesting conceptually, so Lin Mingyang recommended these two films to Beckman Betov, maybe he can get some inspiration from them.

Although it was only a recommendation to borrow from the surname, Beckmanbetov's enthusiasm for gun boxing came as a surprise to Lin Mingyang, and he seemed to be very knowledgeable about it.

"Can we go in and talk?" Beckman Betov looked curiously into the room, and Lin Mingyang realized that he had been blocking people out of the door all along.

"Of course, Mr. Tim, please come in!" He deliberately raised his voice so that Julie, who was hiding in the bathroom, could hear it and be prepared in advance.

There was nothing unusual in Lin Mingyang's room, and Beckman Betov, who sat down, didn't think about anything else, and all his attention at this time was focused on the topic he was going to discuss with Lin Mingyang.

"Mr. Kurt Wiemol's portrayal of gunplay in his film is familiar to me because it is very similar to the Soviet military combat technique. This kind of fighting technique is to break the conventional shooting posture, with a quick draw, high-speed shooting to strike and suppress the enemy, at the same time, the master will also use firepower to rush to the enemy at high speed, and the enemy to carry out a mixed battle of half shooting and half fighting, which will often use the handle of the gun as a weapon, suddenly cold hand..."

"The shot you shot at the beginning of the film where you smashed through the glass of the building and shot the sniper in the air was based on that?" Beckman Betov's words immediately aroused Lin Mingyang's interest, he always thought that "gun boxing" was the result of the genius imagination of Hollywood directors, and did not think that such a fighting technique actually existed in reality.

Beckman Betov smiled and nodded, "A friend of mine in the army used to be a KGB training instructor, and he told me that most of the agents will receive this kind of training. Users of this method of combat are generally adept at hand-to-hand combat, where they combine the use of firearms with combat and fire a cold gun when the enemy is unexpected. They hid their guns on their bodies, and no one knew where they were hiding their guns when they were not firing. ”

Beckman Betov said something mysterious, but if you think about it carefully, the credibility should be very high, because this combat method is almost tailor-made for secret agents, and the KGB has such a training program, and Lin Mingyang can also figure it out.

"There are certainly no such amazing characters in reality, but movies give us more room for imagination. In our story, you play the male protagonist who is to be trained by the organization to be a master of this kind of marksmanship. Lin Mingyang has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has also received systematic combat training in previous movies, which is the basis of Beckmanbetov's confidence.

He excitedly told Lin Mingyang about his shooting idea, but Lin Mingyang basically didn't listen to the rest of the words, because he was thinking about such a question. Because of his appearance, gun fighting skills can be more extreme in this film, so will the effect of this film be more exciting than the one in his memory?
