Chapter 337: Welcome to Dongmo Village
"Welcome to Dongmo Village" can be said to be a comedy, or it can be said to be an anti-war film full of black humor.\\The theme of this film is to highlight human nature and fully show the huge contrast between soldiers as state tools, fighting for politics and fighting for the people, and fighting for the people who need protection. This should also be the biggest attraction that screenwriters, writers and directors want to express the most in the film. Dreams turn cowardice into strength, sincerity turns cold-bloodedness into kindness, desirelessness makes ambition dull, unity makes the impossible possible, and shows people's reflection on war and yearning for peace.
Feng Zixi came to Gangwon Province again to shoot, but this time he was not alone. Bose has returned to him, spending three months with his family, keeping a smile on his face at all times. Although it still looks hideous, it has gotten a lot better, and at least the first time I see it, I don't feel scared.
The person who followed Feng Zixi was Liu Renna, in order to be able to accompany Feng Zixi, she actually asked the company to delay her debut. The mentor who taught her acting skills already complained about Liu Renna's inattentive study during this time, and now it is almost logical to delay her debut. Liu Renna also applied to the company to return to Zixi as an assistant, which not only allowed more opportunities to contact different film crews, but also allowed Zixi to take time to teach her.
TCE, of course, can't let a person who has not yet debuted do what he wants, and after consulting Zixi's opinion, he found that he was not averse to continuing to take Liu Renna, and Liu Renna returned to Feng Zixi again as an assistant, and this time he also had to serve as a makeup artist and stylist. Feng Zixi finally allowed Liu Renna to come and go in and out of her home at will, and prepared the clothes she needed for different announcements and schedules. Of course, this home is the residence of the Westin Hotel Building in the Nonhyeon neighborhood, and the villa is a comfortable nest for Zixi and Kim Tae-hee, and not everyone can enter it.
The filming location of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" was filmed in the mountainous area of Gangwon-do, only here is still covered with heavy snow, and the surrounding area is covered in snow. It was here that the film crew set up a small makeshift village on a hillside. The exterior of the village is mainly thatched houses from the Korean War, and there are horse stables, cattle pens, grass houses, and barns. People who don't know the way walk in, and really think that this is a small and backward village in the mountains.
When Feng Zixi arrived, the crew was already ready here, all the cast and crew had arrived, and even the corn fields that were temporarily ploughed around the village were completed with the help of machinery.
Feng Zixi, who had not been changing into the US military uniform for a long time, put on the gray-green military uniform of the Korean People's Army during the Korean War, and with the help of a makeup artist, he glued a beard on his upper lip, and then put a thick foundation on his face to glue the hair that had been long together.
Although Zixi had also tried styling before, but at that time, he just put on a military uniform and a beard, which was still a little handsome and excessive, and he didn't look like a Korean People's Army officer who had experienced the war, and director Park Kwang-hyun was still a little worried. But now after fine makeup, I can't see the image of Zixi's noble son, how down-and-out he looks. Especially when he just came out of the barracks and participated in military exercises, Zixi made people feel a smell of gunsmoke.
Actors such as Shin Ha-kyun, Lim Ha-ryong and Kang Hye-jung, who worked with Zi-hee this time, although it is not the first time they have met Zi-hee, it is the first time they have officially introduced each other to each other and cooperated in front of the big screen for the first time.
Their impression of Zixi is the image of the eldest young master wearing an expensive handmade suit, driving an expensive car, and hugging each other. When Zixi walked out in the uniform of the People's Army, she stood next to Jiang Huizhen, the only heroine in the film, who couldn't recognize Zixi after more than ten minutes, and thought that she was an extra from somewhere. If it weren't for Director Park Kwang-hyun calling out Zi-hee's name a few times, and Zi-hee responded, Kang Hye-jung probably wouldn't have known that the person who stood next to Lu Dao for more than ten minutes was actually another actor in the film.
"Welcome to Dongmo Village" is not a war movie, unlike films like "Taiji Flag Flying", which shows war scenes, there are only a few shootouts and explosion scenes in the whole film, and director Park Kwang-hyun needs to make adjustments. In the last scene, in order to organize the combat mission of the fighter plane to blow up the small village, the soldiers of the two Koreas, who should be hostile, joined hands for the first time. On the icy and snowy peaks, facing the fighters flying in the air to block the attack, this is also the first scene that Feng Zixi came to.
In this scene, Zixi held a heavy machine gun in his hand, fearless in the face of the fighter plane that told the flying over, raised the muzzle, hooked the trigger, and the muzzle erupted into a long flame, and the bullets rushed to the fighter plane in the air like rain.
The fighter will be shot in a post-mortem special effects, with several actors fighting non-existent fighters in makeshift fortifications. The rain of bullets and bullets was all made by professional demolitionists on the side with reaction bullets. Zixi heard director Park Kwang-hyun say that nearly a thousand reaction bombs will be used in such a scene. The bullets fired from the fighter plane, the bombs that fell, and the reaction of the actors to being shot, all need to be completed, which is also the largest ten minutes spent in the whole play.
Director Park Kwang-hyun learned from the blaster that everything was ready, which was the most important part of the whole play, and now because of the weather and Zixi's schedule, he was forced to shoot the first act in advance, which was already the best effort of director Park Kwang-hyun. Looking at the film crew on the shooting site who were about to leave, director Park Kwang-hyun confirmed again, "Are you all ready?" Are the wires of the gun and the reactive bomb connected? The prop master checked it again, and there was also the reaction bomb on the actor's body, so that there could be no mistake. ”
"Whew!" Everyone responded at the same time. Then, with the help of the demolitionist, the prop master began to check the reaction shell connections on several actors in pairs. The rest of the demolitionists went to the site where the explosives were planted again to check the depth of the planting and the connection of the wires. They all knew very well that this kind of shot could not be passed at once, and then the amount of explosives that had been prepared would not be enough.
If there is not enough explosives, not only do you need to spend money to order them again, but you also need to approve them from the police department, which is quite troublesome. Not only that, but the filming cycle also had to be extended, which was quite fatal for a film crew. Many studios spend money indiscriminately because of a film crew, but there is no output, resulting in the bankruptcy of the last film, and the films invested in shooting cannot be completed, and it is not uncommon for them to become warehouse goods.
"Director, it's all right, we've checked it several times, the wires are connected properly, the power is normal, and the amount of explosives is correct." An FD came to director Park Kwang-hyun and said as he looked at a detailed list in his hand. This list lists in detail the locations and quantities of all the bombs where they were buried, and the demolition engineer himself confirmed the signatures.
"Alright, get ready to shoot." Director Park Kwang-hyun took the list and looked at the back road carefully, turned to the side of Shin Ha-kyun, Zi-hee and others, who were already ready, and said, "Have you all remembered the location of the reaction bomb, don't run to the wrong place." I've had people sign the ground, so you can see it clearly. ”
"Don't worry, now I can remember it with my eyes closed." Feng Zixi has always been very confident in his memory, and he has just walked through the entire shooting point and memorized the location of each reaction bomb. Now all he needs is to start filming and perform according to the script.
"Makeup artist, make up for Zixixi, the gray and black on his face is not enough, so it doesn't look like he has been smoked by gunpowder." Director Park Kwang-hyun said after taking a few glances at Zixi's makeup.
According to the script, the US and South Korean militaries believe that Dongmo Village is an important base of the People's Army and will send bombers to bomb it. In order to protect this peaceful village, the captain of the Korean People's Army, Yi Xiuhua, and the South Korean deserter Pyo-hyun Chol decided to create a fake base to lure the bombers into dropping the bomb by mistake.
In order to convince the US military that the so-called "base" they had improvised was real, the soldiers of different formations who cooperated for the first time set up a number of imperfect fortifications to counterattack the reconnaissance fighters that came to them. In this asymmetrical battle, KPA veteran Jang Young-hee and timid Korean health worker Moon Sang-sang were both killed on the battlefield. However, their heroic performance was finally exchanged for a miscalculation by the United States, which carried out a large-scale bombing of what they considered to be an important military base of the North Korean military on the deserted snowy slopes. This allows Dongmo Village to be preserved intact, and the villagers in it can continue to live without a dispute with the world.
"Zi Xixi, hold on to the rocket artillery, yes, the reaction bomb will explode immediately, and you will lie down after being shot." The director came to Feng Zixi's side and instructed him on how to do his actions for a while. "Remember, react when you get shot. Rest assured, the reflex is already padded with a guard plate and will not pose any danger to you. ”
The heavy machine gun erupted into the sky, and then two strings of machine-gun bullets fired like fighter jets swept from far to near. Zixi picked up the bazooka in his hand and aimed at the fighter that did not exist in the sky for aim, but unfortunately, before he could finish firing, the bullet had already pierced his body, and the bazooka was also mistakenly shot to the ground and exploded.
Because the wires on the ground were blown up, the veteran Zhang Rongxi wanted to connect them. But at this moment, a fighter jet threw an aerial bomb into the bunker where the veteran was, and the veteran was killed on the spot.
The veteran's death made Moon Sang-sang, a timid hygienist who had already formed a deep friendship with him, full of rage, and carried a crane gun, regardless of the fact that it was their South Korean ally, the Americans, who were in the sky. The machine-gun bullets erupted with Moon Sang-sang's rage, and finally hit a plane. But Moon Sangsang also became the target of another plane, and a shuttle of bullets swept by. Moon Sang-sang was shot in the back and back of the head and died instantly. But his hand was still hooking the trigger, and the machine-gun bullets continued to spray until they ran out of bullets.
Standing on the hillside, looking at the desolate snow and the smoke and wreckage around it. The sky is full of bombers, dropping countless aerial bombs. Pyo-hyun Cheol and Lee Xiu-hwa, a pair of soldiers who should have been hostile, are now looking at each other and smiling. They all know that their sacrifice has earned them the villagers they should protect and should protect. As soldiers, they did not die at this moment for the formation they belonged to, but for the people that soldiers were supposed to protect.
