Huairou is in the north of the capital, with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers.

At the foot of a bare hill not far from the national highway, a large camp has risen from the ground, and countless staff are busy and lively. It gathered the best film and television elites from the mainland and Hong Kong to prepare for the preliminary work day and night. Model technicians and special effects experts drawn from major film studios in the mainland gathered together to build a street and alley by the small river at the foot of the mountain in a one-to-one ratio as the main battle scene in "The Assembly".

When the "Great Liberation" truck pulled trucks of magnesium sulfate fertilizer to the crew, and then the special staff dumped them on the ground, creating a real snow scene, all the staff and the onlookers gasped, how much does it cost?

You must know that this is the 80s, and the industrial level of the mainland is still quite limited. That's almost ten tons of fertilizer, which is almost the annual output of a small fertilizer plant, and it's all poured to the ground? As a result, many people secretly took sacks of fertilizer and kept them home as fertilizer for farming.

At first, Yang Lin didn't notice this situation, until more and more people stole fertilizer, and the staff said with a bitter face that if they didn't stop it, the fertilizer would not be enough. But these people didn't care about the persuasion and warnings of the crew, and still went their own way, as long as the staff didn't pay attention, they ran away with sacks and fertilizer. Yang Lin was really helpless, so he had to contact the local political axe, hoping to send police to help maintain the situation and stop the masses from stealing fertilizer.

The local political axe reacted quickly, not only sending a team of police, but also sending a staff member to help coordinate the work with the local people. At first, Yang Lin was overjoyed, but after a while, he scratched his head with worry.

The police led the team by the deputy director of a police station, who was young, and his hair was combed all day long, and the buttons of his police uniform were opened several times. When I walk, my nostrils are facing the sky, and I take a figure-eight step, which I really want to be in. Central leadership. The director, surnamed Song, is said to be the youngest son of a local leader, who looks like a prince, and no one buys face. This guy stopped the incident of stealing fertilizer, but the means were quite resolute, and he simply arrested them all, not only fined, but also heavily fined.

As a result, the local people are excited, and all kinds of sneaky small sabotages emerge one after another. Sometimes stealing a prop results in a few modelers having to work on it for a whole day, which makes the crew anxious and annoyed.

Yang Lin had no choice but to talk to this guy. As a result, this guy was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and his nostrils were facing the sky: "Grandpa, I can take care of it if I want to, and if I don't want to take care of it, I don't care, I need you to teach me?" ”

Yang Lin was speechless, what else is there to say when he meets such a second ancestor? While notifying the local political axe to get this person away, he was ready to start filming.

The most difficult thing to shoot about this "Assembly" is the blasting special effects. Blood flew from bullets hitting people, debris flew from buildings, and shells hit the ground with gunsmoke and shrapnel. The effect of these shots blasting is not difficult, but the difficulty is how to ensure the safety of the actors and crew.

So in this play, in addition to directing, Yang Lin also has to take on the important role of the leader of the "blasting team". Relying on the blasting skills and knowledge he learned in later life, he took this group of "dirt eight roads" to bury explosives, install blood bags, and debug fuses.

This scene shocked these "experts" of major film studios in the mainland, and they were amazed by Yang Lin's various unbelievable ideas and skills, and they were so shocked that they almost came to a collective apprenticeship.

In the original "Assembly", the visual of the explosion uses fragments instead of traditional pyrotechnics, which greatly increases the difficulty of shooting the blasting shot. No matter how good the shot is, safety is paramount. But for the sake of visual shock and authenticity, Yang Lin decided to use this technique.

As a result, on the first day of filming, a member of the demolition team was injured due to the wrong blasting sequence. The injury was not serious, but it just rubbed a piece of skin on his face, but it scared Yang Lin into a cold sweat. What if this is disfigured? Immediately furious: "I told you a hundred times, pay attention to safety and pay attention to safety, why are you still so careless?" If the shards were a little off, the face would be completely ruined. The crew wants to lose money, and you are disfigured yourself, how can you shoot this scene? ”

It's no wonder that he had such a big fire, and he repeatedly ordered him to put safety first, but there was an accident on the first day of filming. What's the matter, the director is not a cadre?

The injured was a blaster from Beijing Film Studio, five big and three coarse, seeing that Yang Lin was angry, he didn't dare to refute, knowing that this young man was a famous director in Hong Kong, he just smiled honestly: "Director, it's nothing." Those who do our job have a high risk factor, as long as they don't lack arms and lose legs, it's fine. Now the major film studios do not have any big investment in our industry, and most of the explosion scenes of the drama are coping, and there is no place for our craft to be displayed. Director Yang's play is a big scene, a big production, not to mention anything else, I have participated in this drama in my life, and I will take a look at it when I have nothing to do in the future, and tell my son that this scene was made by you and me, how energetic? Hey, I guess I will be able to make this kind of drama in this life. ”

Yang Lin frowned, a little moved in his heart. is such a group of people, who do not seek fame or profit, work silently behind the scenes, and after the filming of a film, no one even knows the name. They supported the backbone of the movie, dedicating themselves without regrets, just to support their families with that meager salary. However, it is such a group of people, professional and skilled, who can be called the first-class in Asia, who do not compete for fame or profit, and many years later, they are still unemployed in the overall shrinking film environment, and the industry is changed.

Yang Lin sighed secretly, patted the demolitionist's shoulder, and nodded with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone, I know." After the filming of this film, I plan to set up a professional blasting team, whoever is interested, come with me to Hong Kong, let's work together, make Asia's first-class movies, and challenge Hollywood! Let those foreign devils see, let's get millet and rifles, and still overturn their plane cannons! ”

The demoman's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Really? The members of the blasting team who heard this from a distance surrounded each other, and they were all excited, shouting: "What Director Yang said is true?" "As long as Director Yang can use me, I will go!" "Do you look up to us mainlanders?"

Yang Lin stretched out his hand to stop the shouting of these people, patted his chest and said loudly: "I, Yang Lin, just walked out from the mainland, who do I look down on?" I know that you are the best demolitionists, the best in the industry, and you are not treated with the same treatment and respect. Follow me, I will not only enable you to get better economic conditions, but also make you stand at the forefront of the same industry in Asia. We want the world to know that Chinese blasters are definitely the best! ”

No one understands the value of these people better than him, and at the same time, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea could not match them in this field. But no one knows better than him how quickly the level of blasting special effects in the mainland has declined due to the reduction of investment and lack of attention. If we gather these best blasters in the mainland, give them sufficient investment and attention, and continue to learn the world's advanced technologies and techniques, we will definitely be able to make continuous progress and maintain the leading position of the Chinese in this field. Twenty years later, the creators of this "Assembly" actually had to ask for a stick to make blasting effects. It's hard to say, one day this group of sticks screamed that "Assembly" was filmed.

When this group of blasters heard Yang Lin's words, they were as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and they couldn't get excited. When the work is done, it is called full of vitality and energy.

Han Shanping pursed his lips and looked at Yang Lin: "Director Yang is openly prying the corners of major film studios, these people are the treasures of major film studios." ”

"Baby?" Yang Lin shook his head amusedly: "Let's just say that your Emei factory, how much is the annual technical investment of the blasting team?" What is the investment in personnel development? What is the salary? Don't brag with me, it's all the minimum indicators, just don't starve them to death, right? Have you ever thought that talents need to be cultivated, and training is a matter of capital investment. If you don't pay attention to it so much, let alone progress, I'm afraid you won't even be able to maintain your current level. Hong Kong is making progress, Taiwan is making progress, the country is making progress, South Korea is progressing, and the whole world is making progress. In a few years, you'll not even be a scumbag. But now the big link in the mainland film and television industry is like this, eager for quick success and quick profit, and if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can do it, you will do it. No one wants to invest in this, anyway, the factory belongs to the state, the work belongs to the state, no matter how you can survive, it really can't and there is a state subsidy, isn't it? ”

Han Shanping was speechless.

Yang Lin glanced up at the clouds in the sky and said slowly: "These people are all treasures, and they have been thrown away like you for a few years, and they are all wasted." After the filming of this drama, I don't know what year and month the next co-production will be. By the time we are filming, we will probably have to go abroad and invite other people's demolition teams to make blasting scenes for us. But we obviously have someone who has the technology, but we threw it away by ourselves, but it's a pity, isn't it? So, since the mainland doesn't invest and doesn't pay attention to it, let me come. ”

The tone is very relaxed, and the momentum is very domineering.

Han Shanping really admires Yang Lin now, the kind of five-body throwing. Not to mention his talented script creation and incredible all-round skills, this soaring pride and confident spirit alone made him ashamed. If you can't, then I'll do it! The special effects technology that the whole country does not pay attention to, but he has to take it on alone, what kind of confidence is this?

The next day, when I was shooting, the accident happened again.

Wu Zhenyu has never filmed a war scene, and there are some problems in language communication, so he may not know where the bombing point is buried. It was time to shoot a long shot, and he walked through the middle of a long series of explosions, and just as one of the explosions exploded right next to him. Yang Lin felt that something was wrong at that time, and Wu Zhenyu didn't have time to react, so he checked the wound or something, and walked down like this.

When he came down, they found that half of his face was bruised. It was pitch black, faintly bloodshot, like someone had slapped him hard.

Han Shanping led the medical staff to treat his injuries, and complained: "You are shooting this realistically enough, if you find that the explosion point is wrong, you should stop quickly, and run forward like this, what if something big happens?" ”

The disinfectant was applied to his face, and Wu Zhenyu, who was in pain, gasped coldly, and said vaguely in non-standard Mandarin: "Can't stop, this is a big production, how much is a scene?" Besides, with five cameras shooting together, I can't let the whole crew reshoot it again because of me. ”

This time, all the mainland cast and crew are full of emotion. For a long time, everyone has not looked very well at this actor from Hong Kong, who is oily and powdery, white and tender. Everyone thinks that this person is Yang Lin's private goods, and nepotism only came in, just like Zhong Chuhong, who is beautiful and doesn't look like she doesn't leave the house all day long. But today's scene shocked everyone hard.

Just as he was sighing, Ju Jueliang ran over in a panic and shouted: "Ah Lin, Ah Lin, it's not good!" ”

Yang Lin saw Ju Jueliang running profusely and said strangely: "What's the matter?" "Ju Jueliang has always been calm, and it is not common to lose his temper like this.

Ju Jueliang wiped his sweat and said hurriedly: "Go over and take a look, Zhong Ji has been arrested!" ”

Yang Lin's heart sank violently. (To be continued.) )
