Zixi finally returned to the United States and re-entered the film crew of [Transformers 2]. Some time ago, the film crew arrived in Egypt for filming, and also went to the Navy's aircraft carrier John Stennis for filming, and used 2 A-10 attack aircraft, 6 F-16C/D fighters, 10 military armored Humvees, the "Golden Knight" military parachute team, 2 M1A2 main battle tanks, 2 M3A3 main battle tanks, 2 self-propelled missile launchers, 2 armored vehicles, military explosives and bombs, and so on. In addition, real soldiers who had just returned from Iraq and Afghanistan were invited to shoot, and they also went to the White Sands missile test site in New Mexico, which has always been a forbidden area for tourists, for limited shooting, all kinds of expenses can be described as extremely huge, so it can also be seen that the producers have ambitions for this film.

With Zixi's return, the film crew can finally start setting up the actors, and there is not much time left for them. The filming period of [Transformers 2] this time is only about three months, and the rest of the time needs to be left to the computer special effects team. Since [Transformers 2] has added a lot of new Cybertron robots compared to the previous step, this is undoubtedly increasing the burden of the special effects team's work. After all, this is different from ordinary robots, not only does it need to have a lot of battle scenes, but it also needs to show detailed shots of these robots when they are transformed, and the dynamics of the robots that will merge, so that the workload of the special effects team has more than doubled compared to the previous one.

Although Zixi had received formal military training at a training camp in New Jersey, it was just an open National Guard training site, and as for the training of "Blackwater Mercenaries", it was mixed in and did not attract attention. But in this way, the majesty and momentum of the regular military camp are missing.

This is the first time that Zixi has stepped into the White Sands missile test site under the control of the New Mexico Army, as well as the Harlou League base of the Air Force, and has truly seen the all-encompassing and awe-inspiring majesty of the US domestic bases, which are far from being comparable to the US military bases stationed abroad. Although it can't be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the inspection is meticulous and rigorous, and it is not as casual as the soldiers in the film.

When Zixi arrived, he saw that every member of the film crew who entered the base, whether it was an actor or a director, had to be inspected, whether it was the filming equipment or their belongings, and they were also reviewed by a special person before they could be brought into the base. As a reserve second lieutenant in the Air Guard Corps of the United States National Guard, Zixi was also warned not to move freely in some restricted areas of the base, although he was released after checking and presenting supporting documents.

Because some of the preliminary work of the film crew had already begun, many soldiers stationed in the base had long known that they could see Hollywood stars, and as soon as they saw the film crew officially stationed, they immediately ushered in onlookers, and some non-commissioned officers and officers around them also looked at it with ignorance. In this regard, the freedom and casualness of the American soldiers are similar to what Zixi has seen before. Considering that there are leisure facilities such as bars and cinemas inside the base, it can be seen that American soldiers have a clear distinction between personal freedom and military training.

What Zixi didn't expect was that he was actually known by the vast majority of soldiers, as soon as he got off the bus, many soldiers waved to him, and some soldiers smiled and saluted him, so that he in civilian clothes didn't know whether to salute or shake hands with these soldiers.

What Zixi didn't expect was the arrival of Megan Fox, the only heroine of the film, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of this group of soldiers with seriously excessive male hormones. Whistles and cheers began to rage, and even a number of elderly non-commissioned officers and officers joined in and asked Megan Fox for autographs. Some soldiers who had just come back from training didn't even take off the dusty equipment on their bodies, so they joined them directly, making Zixi, who was standing on the side, a transparent person, so angry that Zixi wanted to scold.

Many scenes and desert battle scenes of [Transformers 2] this time need to be filmed at the White Sands Missile Test Site and Harlough League Air Force Base. Truckloads full of specially processed ammunition, military vehicles on loan from the Pentagon are ready. Of course, the most advanced individual combat weapons of the US military are also piled up in the warehouses reserved for film crews.

Although Zixi is an actor, his other identity gives him a lot of convenience, at least when he enters these warehouses, the inspection is not strict, and he also took a lot of weapons to the shooting range through the film crew. But when Zixi saw which bullets were prepared for the film crew, Zixi lost interest, because all of them were specially processed empty cartridges, which only had flames and sounds when fired, and would not fire a truly lethal warhead, and the use and processing of these bullets required the film crew to pay for them.

Director Michael Bay told him when he was chatting with Zixi that it is necessary to pay for borrowing US military bases and facilities, and the salaries of soldiers and the military resources consumed must also be used only if the producer gives money. This is tantamount to letting the producers spend money to help the U.S. military consume excess resources, so as not to expire and destroy them, causing too much waste, and making which congressmen make irresponsible comments about the increase in military spending every year. It's like the last F22 fighter jet, the money to hire pilots and aviation fuel is enough to buy a dozen brand new Ford cars.

The Pentagon and the U.S. Treasury Department are calculating, and the bamboo pole is even more "banging", who makes Hollywood film companies rich? Zixi also saw that in a capitalist society like the United States, as long as you have money, there is really nothing you can't do. Some countries have aircraft carriers as treasures, let alone borrow them for filming, and you can't even go up and see them. But in the U.S., it's okay to lend you a shot, as long as you can afford it.

Since it was filmed by the original crew, the tacit understanding of the film crew had already been run in. With the cast and crew in place, filming can begin immediately. This moving crew was the result of the largest joint filming operation ever conducted by the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps, so except for a few important actors, the rest of the extras were active duty military personnel. Although few of these soldiers can act, when it comes to military quality and tactical movements, no one is more standard than them.

These GIs don't need any acting skills, and according to the orders of the commander, they can treat this shooting as a military training or military exercise.

Everyone has ever dreamed of Hollywood, even these soldiers who live in iron and blood. In addition to training, their usual activities at the base are to do sports, or go to bars to drink, and more often go to the theater inside the base to watch movies, and they are no strangers to Hollywood.

This time, the male had a Hollywood film crew stationed in the base, and he was filming subjects related to them, and these GIs were excited, excited. It is precisely because everyone wants to appear on camera that before each start of filming, the roofs of the props that receive props and equipment are crowded with soldiers on vacation, and the crew and military liaison have to take the trouble to drive them away, and the excuses are endless.

Some non-commissioned officers who couldn't look past it even laughed jokingly: "Are you squeezed so tightly here, like a soldier?" An enemy can take out all of you bastards with a single grenade. As a result, the non-commissioned officers and officers were answered: "This is Hollywood, aren't we fighting invisible aliens with ammunition that can never be killed?" The officers who heard it all rolled their eyes, but there was nothing they could do. I can only discuss with the film crew to see if we can increase the number of soldiers as much as possible to satisfy the ambitions of this group of soldiers to be on camera.

Zixi also heard Josh Duhamel, one of the main actors who played the American army, tell him that he only learned about the road, because in the scene where the male protagonist Sam and the female protagonist Michaela escaped from the temple in a village and were chased by Decepticon robots at the White Sands missile test site, the two were shot and fired by as many as 75 soldiers and tanks at the same time. The number of GIs in this scene is far more than double that of the 30 GIs at the time of the script, which is the result of the GIs' enthusiasm.

Of course, the Decepticon robot can't really exist, and the target of the soldier and tank is simply random, as long as it is the field behind the two leading actors, it is the target they launch. It was enough for the GIs to create a tense atmosphere and urgency of war.

Fortunately, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were empty-packed, and the shells fired by the tanks were also carefully set to the explosion point, otherwise they would have been really frightened by the sudden appearance of so many people. At that time, Megan Fox was startled by a large group of soldiers who suddenly emerged from the rubble, as well as real tanks, and saw that they all raised their guns to shoot, and her legs were even weaker, and it was Zixi who pulled her so that she did not fall. However, this also created a realistic scene, which made the director very satisfied.

Another blasting scene, this scene requires the use of a large amount of TNT explosives, these are not Xibei goods, all are genuine military products. When Zixi underwent military training, the largest grenades were used, and even in the military exercises in South Korea, high-powered air-to-ground missiles were used, but after all, they were not immersed in the scene, and they could not experience the power of the explosion.

This time it was different, dozens of kilograms of explosives were pre-planted and electronically detonated, and the explosion of explosives produced a wave of air at speeds of more than 700 miles per hour, making a small stone, a grain of sand, and an eyelash a sharp weapon to hurt people. As a result, the heroes and heroines of Zixi and Megan Fox are running wildly in these explosions. For their ears had been deafened and dizzy by the sound of the explosion.

Seeing the big crater that was blown up by explosives and still emitting smoke, Zixi was afraid for a while. If it weren't for the careful calculations of the demolition team and military instructors, he and Megan Fox might have been blown apart by this blast. Even if you are hit by a small rock shot out by the air wave, you will lose your hands and feet.

Filming at a military base, there is another interesting fact. That is, in the early morning every day, before all the bases sounded the wake-up call, many half-asleep and half-awake soldiers would occasionally hear a "terrible" howl, at first I thought it was the sound of the desert wind, but later I realized that the road was howling, so frightened that many soldiers thought they had seen a ghost, and kept praying to the old man.

Later, after inquiry, I learned that it was Hollywood superstar Zachary, who didn't know which tendon was wrong, and would run to the base every morning to shout for the outside, and the sound was blown into the base by the wind, which caused many soldiers to misunderstand. After the last time, Zixi had to drive away from the base to continue howling, no one knew what he was crazy about, many people thought that he must have been caught by the devil, and even asked the priest of the base to run to exorcise him, which made the film crew laugh for a while.

After filming in New Mexico was completed, the film crew returned to California. In California, we had to go to Edwards Air Force Base and Colorado Naval Base to shoot, but there were no big scenes at these two bases, which made the cast and crew relax a lot. Zixi can also take this opportunity to return to his reserved apartment and find a wife who has been waiting for him for a long time.

Liu Yifei has been in the United States for a month, and he has been talking to Zixi on the phone, but the more he talks on the phone, the more difficult it is to endure the lovesickness. Several times I almost flew straight to New Mexico to the scene to find Zixi. This was still persuaded by Zixi, so he waited helplessly at home.

This time Zixi returned to California to shoot, and the two finally had time to be together, Zixi didn't have to stay in the base, he only needed to drive to the shooting site early every day, and he would stay with Liu Yifei for the rest of the time. This is the first time that the two have been able to live together since they established their relationship, cooking breakfast every morning, keeping it warm, tidying up his clothes, watching him go out by the door, and saying "I'll wait for you to come back", which made Liu Yifei finally have the consciousness of becoming the wife of his beloved Zixi's brother.
