Chapter 214: Air Force One?

Wang Shang talked with the army for a total of a day before the matter of filming was discussed.

There were more than 100 cars and many planes and helicopters, and some of the participating troops were the Jingjiang Flood Fighting Heroes. A total of 10,000 personnel and 200,000 personnel were dispatched, taking into account the army and air force arms.

If it weren't for Wang Shang's outstanding performance in fighting floods some time ago, it is estimated that there would be no way to negotiate these conditions.

After talking, Commander Zhao directly patted Wang Shang on the shoulder and said: "In the future, if you can make a movie, as long as you can show the heroism of the army, you can come to us, but the premise is that it is approved by the state." ”

Wang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, Commander!" ”

During this period of time, I finally took down the army, although the other party said that I wanted to show the heroic movie of the army, but as soon as I opened my mouth, there may be 'not heroic' in the future (hehe~~).

The rest is the government.

"Find a movie to try and see ......"

Thinking of this, Wang Shang immediately began to turn his brain and screen the movies involving national leaders in the previous time and space.

"The Fall of the White House - The Fall of the Forbidden City"? This estimate is not good, the steps are too big all of a sudden, and it is easy to pull the egg ......"

"Reading Force? There are too many things involved in this, there are high-level government officials and the military, and the steps are still a bit big. ”

Suddenly, Wang Shang thought of the very famous movie in the previous time and space - "Air Force One".

Wang Shang was delighted: "Yes, I can make a Chinese version of "Air Force One", change Air Force One to Huaxia One, and change the US President to the head of the country No. 1. Well, the title of the movie was changed to "Huaxia No. 1", ......"

"There is no negative depiction of the country's leaders in the movie, and the protagonist in it, the president, is extremely heroic, and it should be easier to impress the country's leaders."

"After the release of "Stormy Waves", if it receives widespread praise, the script of "Huaxia No. 1" will be submitted for review to see if it can be passed, and to test whether the government can agree."

――――――――

When he returned to Tianwang Company from the military region, Wang Shang directly convened the screenwriting team.

"Now help me make a script ......"

Several screenwriters looked at Wang Shang with shining eyes: "What movie?" ”

"This is the story of the No. 1 head of a country who was on the way back from a foreign visit, and the 'Huaxia No. 1' was hijacked by terrorists......

"National No. 1 Chief......" Lu Yang felt his throat dry and said dryly.

The rest of the people stared at them like bull's-eyed: "Terrorists? Hijacking the Huaxia No. 1 ......"

It's all sluggish......

Everyone looked at Wang Shang as if they were looking at a monster......

"Wang Dong, is there really no problem with this?? Won't be harmonized? Lu Yang touched the sweat on his head and asked weakly.

Other chicks kept echoing like chickens: "This script is too ...... That's it!! ”

Wang Shang waved his hand directly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, you just need to write the script first." ”

"First of all, the protagonist 'Chief One' should be set up as a heroic and fearless heroic figure, and the image should be very positive! This will make it a little less difficult to pass the audit. ”

"Why did the terrorists hijack Huaxia No. 1, we can say that Huaxia caught the leader of al-Qaeda. Teng La was preparing to extradite the United States, and then Al Qaeda hijacked the 'Huaxia No. 1' and demanded that the Huaxia government release Ben Dengla...... Anyway, it's up to you to think of this excuse, as long as it's not too outrageous. ”

Wang Shang then elaborated on the content of the film under the stunned eyes of all the screenwriters: "When the No. 1 chief boarded the plane, a group of terrorists pretended to be a TV news team and took the opportunity to infiltrate" Huaxia No. 1 ", and after the plane took off, they quickly hijacked Air Force No. 1 and took the first lady and her daughter and the passengers on board, including the national security adviser, the foreign minister and other important officials all hostage, and only the No. 1 chief was ready to leave the plane in an escape pod under the arrangement of the security personnel. ”

Several screenwriters looked at Wang Shang and swallowed their saliva unconsciously......

It's crazy!!

――――――

On September 10, the film crew of "Stormy Waves" was officially announced, and almost all the actors were selected, most of the extras were selected from the heroes on the front line of flood fighting, only some main actors were missing.

The leading military commander Zhang Ziming and Wang Shang went directly to find Li Youbin, that is, the actor who played Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" in the previous time and space, he has not starred in too many film and television dramas in this time and space, so his fame is not very big.

Wang Shang came to the door, which shocked Li Youbin. He was admitted to the Changchun Repertory Theatre in 1974 and transferred to Bayi Film Studio in 2002.

"Why are you looking for me?" Li Youbin asked curiously.

"Because I think you're suitable for ......" Wang Shang smiled and handed over the script, Wang Shang was not worried that he would refuse. The military role in "Bright Sword" in the previous time and space has always made Wang Shang like it very much. And his image is very suitable for playing a high-level officer, which is why Wang Shang chose him.

After reading the script, Li Youbin was also moved by the character in it, and agreed without hesitation.

On September 15, the selection of the actors of "Stormy Waves" was completed, and Wang Shang hurriedly announced the start of filming.

In order to save time, Wang Shang did not hold a press conference or invite reporters to participate, and directly started filming after worshipping God.

The start-up site is on the Jingzhou embankment, and there are still countless sandbags and silt left on the embankment.

When the film was turned on, in addition to the crew and actors, there was also a flood fighting hero unit led by Ye Chengwen.

It was the first time for these soldiers to see the opening ceremony of the movie, and they felt very fresh, and Ye Chengwen didn't control them too much, so they didn't talk to each other and talk about it.

"Everyone wants three sticks of incense, is it okay to have four?"

"Cut the pig......"

"What do you mean by that red cloth?"

Under the guidance of the staff, Ye Chengwen also enjoyed a trip to worship God, which was very novel.

After the start of filming, the film officially began to shoot.

Although a month has passed since the flood, the Yangtze River is still muddy, the sound of the waves is still the same, and a little light rain comes from time to time, which is just right for shooting.

In the following 20 days, Wang Shang took the crew to a total of eight scenic spots, and each place attracted countless onlookers. At this time, the post-disaster reconstruction work was underway in the disaster area, and countless people affected by the disaster returned to their hometowns and began to rebuild their hometowns.

saw Wang Shang's crew, and when they heard that the director of this movie was that Wang Shang, countless people showed great enthusiasm for the crew, and the crew enjoyed heroic treatment because of Wang Shang.

While being proud, the spirit of the crew couldn't help but multiply and become more motivated.

In order to truly reproduce the flood fighting scene, the sandbags carried by the actors are all genuine, and they are definitely not props made of styrofoam, in Wang Shang's words: "I just want to shoot the green tendons that burst out of their heads, and strive to be real!" ”

At the same time, in order to show the tragic scene at that time, Wang Shang also gathered thousands of people affected by the disaster to participate in the filming together. After many people finished filming, they also said that they didn't want money: "If I accept Director Wang's money, the villagers will definitely poke my backbone and scold me." ”

After thanking, Wang Shang sank into the intense shooting work again.

In addition to directing the filming, Wang Shang also took the time to take the editing team to select and edit the video materials obtained from the national television.

The filming progress of the movie was faster than Wang Shang imagined, and on October 15, Wang Shang officially announced that the film was officially completed.

When the news came out, the film and television industry was shocked: "It's too fast!" ”

Many production companies haven't even formed the script yet, but Wang Shang said that the filming has been completed, which is simply fast.

"It can't be fooling, right?"

These production companies couldn't help but speed up the script writing and the crew's preparation and shooting work again.

After the finalization, Wang Shang quickly summoned the technicians of the post-production department to edit and dub the film. The theme song, ending song, etc., Wang Shang directly stole the more famous "For Whom" and some other flood-fighting songs in the previous time and space, with these, the dubbing team will reduce the workload by nearly 60%, which greatly accelerates the post-production progress of the movie.

In terms of special effects, because the real scene is big enough, the special effects don't have to deal with too much, so under Wang Shang's high pressure, the special effects team is also completed quickly.

On November 5th, Tianwang Studio announced again that "Stormy Waves" had completed all the editing and officially submitted it to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review.

"Done? Is there any mistake? The entertainment industry was once again shocked by Wang Shang's speed.

"Is it a shoddy film?" Many filmmakers can't help but think about this.

When I learned that the shooting cost was 40 million, I felt that I had guessed wrong: "40 million? With the support of real filming, the cost is quite high? It shouldn't be a shoddy movie, and Wang Shang shouldn't smash his own signboard. ”

It was also at this time that dozens of film crews went to the scene of the Yangtze River and Nenjiang River to fight the disaster, which added a lot of popularity to the disaster area and generated a lot of income for the local people.

For these crews, the extras recruited from the local area will naturally not be as respectful and polite as Wang Shang, and the performance fees charged by these film crews are naturally a lot.

For this strong contrast, these film crews are naturally pained: "I'm also here to make a disaster-fighting movie, okay?" It's also helping you publicize, okay? Why do you need to be treated differently? ”.
