Chapter 408: Thrilling Action
Han Jin was overjoyed, and went to see the outer venue with Wang Jing, and sure enough, he felt that it was a very suitable place to shoot movies.
He immediately contacted the Hong Kong side and hired people on the British side. In less than two days, the entire crew has been structured.
It's very easy to find someone to film in a country like the UK. Because he has a so-called trade union, as long as he applies for it, there are a lot of people available immediately.
And because London is the center of European films, there are a lot of actors looking for opportunities here, which is no worse than Hollywood, Beiying, and Hengdian, so it doesn't take much effort to choose roles.
As soon as the personnel from Hong Kong arrived on the plane and the personnel were ready, the filming of the film began immediately.
I thought it would be a difficult thing. But seeing that Han Jin and the others had already gathered a team of dozens of people in two or three days, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, feeling that this Oriental was really magical, as if they could magic, and they summoned so many people in an instant.
The film was shot in a castle on the outskirts of London, which doesn't look very big, but it looks old enough. At first glance, it looks like the kind of feeling that has a rich historical heritage, and even the carpet can't be the crusade period.
The rent for the castle was not too expensive, as I heard that they were borrowed to make films, and the local authorities were very supportive. In their opinion, making movies is a good way to promote themselves, and they have always encouraged film companies to come here to shoot more.
Therefore, Han Jin and others filmed in the castle for a total of seven days, and the rent was only 50,000 pounds. The average day is less than £10,000. It's really cheap.
The scene of Han Jin's burglary is filmed here, and he has to avoid high-definition cameras, keen hunting dogs, infrared sensors in the hall, and motion sensors to steal a million-pound diamond in the safe.
In order to be able to shoot like this, Han Jin also specially prepared some gadgets for the props, such as a retractable camera, such as a high-tech computer decoder, such as a fingerprint scanner, etc., all of which look quite high-tech. In fact, they are just props for the movie. It can't be true.
The high-tech computer decoder, for example, looks really cool on the outside, just like a smartphone used in the 21st century. In fact, it's just a toy, and the screen shows it when it's decoded. It needs to be pasted later. With so many high-tech gadgets. It makes Han Jin as cool as oo7.
……
This "Modern Cinderella" is not like Cheng Long's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother". There are so many fight scenes; is not like Xu Guanjie's "Best Partner", there are so many gags and funny scenes. His "Modern Cinderella" is more like a thief's version of "Spy Shadows", thrilling. Exciting, cool, and a high-IQ game of wit.
There are two sides of the battle of wits, one side is Han Jin, and the international thief organization for which he serves; On one side is Chung Chuhong, and the Interpol organization for which she serves.
Han Jin is extraordinary, he once stole a billion dollars of antique jewelry, and enjoys a high reputation in the industry, but he is tired of this kind of life, and he has long had the idea of retiring from the rivers and lakes; Zhong Chuhong is a young female detective who is determined to capture Han Jin, a flying thief, and with the authorization and help of her boss, she began to launch a cross-border pursuit of Han Jin.
Catherine plays Han Jin's assistant in the play, who is big-chested and brainless on the surface, and always makes various mistakes, but in fact, she is the eyeliner placed by Han Jin by the International Thieves Organization, and is responsible for controlling his whereabouts so that he will not betray the organization.
But after getting along with Han Jin day and night, she unknowingly fell in love with this man, and died under the gun of the villain leader in order to protect him, which can be said to be benevolent.
There's a lot of leeway for this character to wield. But looking at her eagerness, it is obvious that this role does not seem to be difficult for her.
And the whole story seems to be a cat-and-mouse game between Zhong Chuhong and Han Jin, but behind it is a life-and-death struggle between Interpol and the International Piracy Organization.
The forces of good and evil were fighting, and Han Jin and Zhong Chuhong were like puppets pulling the strings, and they were manipulated into this dispute. And whether the righteous side really represents justice, and whether the evil side is really full of evil, is all dark and confusing.
Whether Han Jin can take this opportunity to get rid of the manipulation of the international thief organization, and whether Zhong Chuhong can bring Han Jin to justice is the main line of the plot of the whole film.
The whole story was co-written by Han Jin and Wang Jing, and after writing it, even Wang Jing himself was surprised. He had only written some grudge and revenge scenes such as "chasing girls" or "the king of a thousand kings" before. But a big-scale zuò like this, a high-IQ movie is really not what he's good at.
In fact, this is not what these Hong Kong filmmakers are good at. Because Hong Kong screenwriters generally do not have high academic qualifications, they themselves don't even understand such high-tech elements, and naturally it is impossible to introduce them into the movie.
In addition to the fact that Hollywood screenwriters are generally more highly educated, they are more accustomed to asking professionals to give advice. For example, in "The Big Bang Theory", professionals were hired to correct the lines. When making movies in Hong Kong, sometimes there is not even a complete script, let alone inviting any professionals to give advice.
……
"Ah Jin, wait a minute, you have to try to jump over the one-meter-eight high fence, do you have any confidence?" Cheng Xiaodong asked Han Jindao, he was a martial arts instructor specially invited by Han Jin.
Hong Kong's well-known martial arts instructors, one is the Cheng family class, one is the Hong family class, one is the Liu family class, one is the Yuan family class, and the other is Cheng Xiaodong.
He and Xu Ke have collaborated on countless classic films, such as "Undefeated in the East", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and so on. His style is chic and elegant, high and high, volleying in the air, so costume films have always been what he is good at.
But this time, Han Jin asked him to design dance moves for himself, but it was because he was his senior brother. We have all practiced Dahong Boxing together, so we should have some understanding of Han Jin's skills, so that we know more about the roots than inviting others to do martial arts guidance, and it is easier to wield Han Jin's true strength.
The scene to be filmed now is the scene where Han Jin enters the ancient castle, which inevitably leaves traces when climbing, so Han Jin needs to jump over the 1.8-meter fence at once, which is really not easy for ordinary people.
National-level athletes are at this level, and Olympic champions can only jump 2.3 meters after a long period of hard training. And there is also a long run-up when jumping.
This action was proposed by Han Jin himself. He wanted to create a thrilling blockbuster, so he had to have some thrill-looking shots to stimulate the audience's senses.
It's like in "Food Truck", Cheng Long uses several wooden sticks to stagger the bridge sections of the city wall. It's very surprising; And in "Lucky Stars". Footage of Yuan Biao jumping off a tall Ferris wheel. It also made many viewers cry out in surprise at that time.
Thrilling scenes like this are essential in action blockbusters. Otherwise. What else can you watch in an action movie?!
However, after he brought it up, many people shook their heads.
The fence on the perimeter of the castle is about 1.8 meters high, which is already daunting in terms of height alone. Not to mention that the top of the railing is full of spikes of iron pillars, although it is not too sharp, but if it is pierced, it is also a blood hole. Moreover, a rusty iron rider like this can easily get tetanus if it is punctured.
Therefore, many people advised him not to take such risks, and it was best to use stand-ins, trampolines, Wia and the like, so that it could be safer.
But after several experiments, Han Jin was able to easily cross the fence with the help of a trampoline or Wia, but it always seemed that the visual effect was always a little worse. was originally a thrilling scene, but after being cut, there was no sense of surprise at all. So in the end, he decided to jump over the fence by his own strength.
"Ah Jin, don't take such risks, it's dangerous." Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but say worriedly when she saw this eight-meter-high fence, which was two heads taller than her.
"Don't worry, I have confidence in myself." Han Jin said with a smile, "Didn't we try it on the ground a few times before, and I was able to jump over it well." ”
"But it was just a drill, but now it's a real battle, how can it be the same?" Zhong Chuhong said again.
Han Jin waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I'll be careful." Catherine, accompany Cherie over there to play. ”。 In fact, she really wanted to stay and take a look, and wanted to see with her own eyes if Han Jin could jump over such a high fence. This is really exciting for her.
In good conscience, she was very suspicious of Han Jin's strength. Because after all, it is an iron fence that is 1.8 meters high, and if one accidentally does not cross it, there is a danger of disemboweling. But because of this, it is more exciting, and she can't help but be a little curious.
"Ah Jin, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with you." Zhong Chuhong saw that Han Jin was going to take her away, and hurriedly pleaded with him.
"Honggu, you better avoid it first, otherwise Han Jin will be easily distracted if you are present." Cheng Xiaodong also came over to persuade.
Seeing him say this, Zhong Chuhong had no choice but to nod.
After Zhong Chuhong left, the movie officially began shooting.
Before the start of the film, the British stuntmen in the crew, together with the dragon and tiger martial artists in Hong Kong, surrounded Han Jin to cheer for him!
"Come on, brother!" "Man, come on!" "God bless you, sir!" "Jin Shao, you can definitely do it!" "Don't worry, Jin Shao, you will definitely do it!" "Ah Jin, come on!" ……
Although everyone was not optimistic that Han Jin would be able to jump over the one-meter-eight fence, everyone wanted to send him their blessings at this moment. Because Han Jin dared to challenge this dangerous move, it had already proved his courage in itself. And to be a dragon and tiger martial artist and stuntman, one thing is boldness, they admire bold people the most, and Han Jin has also won their respect because of this move.
Hearing everyone's words of encouragement, Han Jin also felt that his whole body was full of strength, he clenched his fists, and kept cheering for himself in his heart. "Come on, you can do it!"
"Ah Jin, when you're ready, we can shoot." Cheng Xiaodong finally said.
Han Jin nodded, "Senior brother, I'm almost there." ”
"Okay, everyone, get ready!" Cheng Xiaodong shouted, and the cameraman hurriedly took position, because this was a shot, aiming to show that Han Jin didn't use trampoline, Weiya or sponge pads or anything like that, so he had to shoot it all in one go, and there could be no pause in between.
“ok,anet!” Wang Jing shouted, and he himself was very nervous.
Hearing Wang Jing shout anet, Han Jin came to the fence from the night and compared the height with the fence, which was level with his own height.
Then he took a few steps back, then rushed forward with all his might!
Everyone present was so frightened that they held their breath at this moment, and their eyes widened.
Cheng Xiaodong and Wang Jing both pinched a handful of cold sweat and looked straight ahead.
In the distance, Zhong Chuhong and Catherine both looked at each other from a distance.
saw Han Jin gather in front of the fence in a few steps, and then he stomped his feet hard, and his body flew up like pulling onions on dry land.
Then he crossed the fence with his legs parallel to each other, and then landed firmly on the ground. (To be continued!)
