Chapter 0086: Veteran Joseph
Like in previous lives, many people have a terrible feeling about Africa: constant war, distorted heat, epidemics, food cannot be eaten, water is not drunk, and insects bite people everywhere......
But in fact, after arriving in the country of KEN in East Africa, it was not as serious as expected.
At least not all parts of Africa are so bad.
Yang Jie often goes abroad, but this is the first time he has come to Africa. Before I came, I stuffed a lot of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, mosquito repellent water, and gastrointestinal medicine in my luggage...... I even brought my own food.
The crew is basically full of people like this.
But now it seems that it is a little more prepared.
The guesthouse is nice, there are no annoying bugs, there is no problem with water and food, it is very clean.
The streets outside are actually similar to those in third- and fourth-tier cities in China, not as dilapidated as imagined.
But after all, this is a new town, and the old town filmed by the crew is a completely different scene. The old town in the developed area may be a gathering place for food and snacks, but the further backward it is, the dirtier the old town becomes.
Or to put it another way, ghetto.
After the jet lag, the main crew members went to the slums to shoot the next day. The first thing to shoot is the starring role of Yang Jie, and Han Lan, who is a supporting role, hasn't come out yet, so there is no need to go to the slums with him.
Of course, that doesn't mean he has nothing to do.
Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't started filming their scenes in the past few days, Yang Jie arranged for Han Lan and another main supporting actor, Chen Kang, to follow the villain and assistant director of the crew's action Joseph to conduct military skills training.
Director Yang Jie himself is a veteran, and then he made his debut as an action actor, and he is very demanding in action scenes and gunfight scenes. This time I went abroad to shoot, and even the firearms I used were real guns, but I changed the empty cartridges for safety.
There is still a difference between a real gun and a prop gun, and the weight alone is a big difference.
For an ordinary actor like Chen Kang who has never used a firearm, in order to play his role well, it is necessary to conduct relevant training in advance.
And Han Lan has no objection, although he has very rich combat experience, but that is all a matter of the previous life, he has indeed never touched a gun in this life, and he needs to be familiar with the feel in advance.
In addition to the three of them throughout the whole process, there is also a big brother photographer who follows the shooting, which can be used as movie highlights and publicity warm-up in the future.
Of course, as Han Lan's bodyguard, Lee Myung-bak must have followed the whole process.
"OK, Guys, now let's do gun stance."
Joseph smiled heartily and clapped his hands, and one of them threw the AK to them.
This gun is probably one of the most famous firearms, and even many people who are not military fans can often name it when asked about firearms. And in some gunfight shooting games, this gun appears even more frequently.
The original model used in the movie, the most classic AK47, is the most used weapon by African government forces and rebel forces.
The real gun was actually heavier than expected, and Chen Kang was not mentally prepared for a while, and almost didn't catch it.
Han Lan is very handy, I remember that after he was killed in Africa, the first gun he got seemed to be an AK47, and he was familiar with it.
Skillfully examined the gun, opened the safety with his hand, and pulled the bolt.
"Hey guy, played with guns?" Joseph's eyes were very sharp, and he knew that he was a veteran when he saw Han Lan's movements, and asked with a smile.
"The old army is confused, and there is a one-to-one model gun at home, but it is plastic, and the barrel is solid, so it can't be loaded." Han Lan said casually.
"Wow, that's pretty good."
"You're also very good, I mean your Chinese." Han Lan said with a smile.
This foreigner communicates with them in Chinese throughout the whole process, although the tone is a little strange, and occasionally pops out of English, but normal communication is no problem.
Joseph was very happy, smiled and boasted, "I've only been studying for three years!" I learned from Yang (Jie). Since working with him, I have been learning Chinese. ”
"I know you, I had you back in Blade Rescue 1, mercenary leader, hahaha." Chen Kang was used to the weight of the AK47, and came over with a gun to join the chat.
"Hahaha, my performance is okay, right?"
"It's great." Chen Kang gave him a thumbs up, which made him very useful.
"Okay, guys, we can't make small talk anymore, we need to hurry up and start training. Filming your scenes will start next week, and Yang has asked me to teach you the basics of firearms and martial arts in two weeks, and I'm really stressed to make you look like a soldier as much as possible. But now it seems that the pressure should be a little less......" Joseph looked at Han Lan with a smile, "Han Lan, let's see what you will do first, right?" ”
Han Lan nodded, lowered his body slightly with the gun in his hand and began to move forward, his eyes looking ahead vigilantly with the muzzle of the gun.
However, the action looks a little deliberate and not so natural. It can only be said that it is better than those who have not practiced, but it is far from reaching the professional level.
On the one hand, Han Lan's body really hadn't touched a gun, and it took a little time to get used to it. Skills don't mean that you can get started immediately if you have experience in your memory, your brain will be one thing, and your body will be another. Han Lan's fist and foot kung fu was also slowly re-practiced after waking up.
On the other hand, Han Lan is also deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
Joseph's sharp eyes could tell from Han Lan's action of checking the gun just now that he had played with the gun, and Han Lan could naturally see some clues from his habits.
Including the camouflage and military boots worn by this foreigner, they are all styles that Mi Jun likes. Han Lan knew many veterans of the Lighthouse Country in his previous life, and even after retiring, he still retained the habits and aesthetics of the army. Coupled with his strong Beacon Country accent, Joseph should have served in the Beacon Nation Army before.
And the calluses on Joseph's hands, as well as the residual murderous aura on his body, are obviously on the battlefield. Don't look at the lighthouse country every day to show off its military might, in fact, many soldiers have not really experienced war until they retire.
But what really made Han Lan jealous was that he saw not only the shadow of the Beacon Country's army in Joseph, but also the shadow of the armies of other countries. If it is just a normal exchange of military exercises of allies, it is difficult to dye so many styles. Unless you join a mercenary group, you can only influence each other by living and fighting with veterans from all over the world for a long time.
And only in the mercenary group can there be more opportunities to fight, and it is more likely to grind out those thick calluses!
This foreigner used to walk with him!
Only peers know their peers better.
Han Lan also retained a lot of the habits of the mercenary period, and it was easy for him to see if he was not careful.
That's hard to explain, so it's better to be careful.
Joseph clapped his hands in fear, this guy obviously didn't have Han Lan's old way, and he didn't see any problems, and commented with a smile: "Han Lan, I can see that you have learned a little bit by yourself, and it's okay to fool the general audience, but it may not work with Yang." Yang is very strict with these! ”
Han Lan showed a harmless smile from humans and animals: "Okay." ”
"OK, Chen Kang, you can come too. Let's start with the basic gun position......"
