The reason why it is a headache in terms of weapons and equipment props is mainly because there are very strict laws and regulations on the management of weapons and equipment in China.

Even the props used in filming film and television dramas have been strictly restricted, so Han Li has a headache for this matter.

As far as the weapons, equipment and props needed for domestic film and television dramas are concerned, there are three main sources.

First of all, the first source is real weapons and equipment specially used for film and television shooting. Although the weapons and equipment here are real, they are relatively old and backward, and they are basically equipment and weapons before and after liberation.

For the sake of safety, this type of weaponry has also been deweaponized. For example, the inside of the barrel is welded and sealed, leaving only a small hole, and even some of them directly remove key components such as the firing pin, leaving only a shell.

However, in order to achieve realistic effects in film and television dramas, or to reduce the investment in fireworks special effects in the later stage, these weapons and equipment will also use empty shells for shooting. Whether it's the flames erupting from the muzzle or the shelling, it's very realistic, comparable to a real guy, or it's a real guy in itself.

Moreover, there are also very many models of such weapons and equipment, in addition to all kinds of guns, there are mortars, mountain guns, 92 infantry guns, and even armored vehicles and tanks.

However, as I said before, the models of this kind of weapons and equipment are relatively old, and the types of film and television dramas targeted are also some anti-Japanese dramas or war dramas before and after liberation.

In domestic film and television dramas, this kind of drama is filmed the most, so the weapons and equipment props in this area are naturally more abundant.

But Han Li's play is a modern play, and the weapons and equipment used must also conform to the characteristics of the times.

So this kind of weaponry, although good, is not very suitable.

The second type of weapons and equipment needs to be made yourself or purchased from companies and studios that specialize in making related items.

It's just that although the appearance of this kind of purchased and produced weapons and equipment is not much different from the real weapons and equipment, the texture is still a lot worse, and it has no function, basically a prop made of wood or plastic.

Therefore, a series of firearm shooting effects such as shooting, pyrotechnics, and shelling need to be produced with special effects in the later stage.

It is worth saying that many low-cost anti-Japanese dramas will also use such props in order to save costs, and they will even be more coarse.

And the shooting effects are also made in the post-production, but in order to save trouble and cost, they are basically the kind of small studios they are looking for, and they are directly synthesized with materials, which is claimed to be the kind that can produce and play a 40-episode TV series in three days. And this kind of is given a very loud name by the audience, five-cent special effects.

But if it is to improve the quality, then whether it is the early stage of prop production or the later stage, it will take some effort. For example, in the early stage of prop production, it is necessary to make as fine as possible, and even some use mold turning and 3D printing, in order to restore the most realistic appearance of weapons and equipment.

Don't look at it as just some fake props, but if you make it, the price is quite expensive. For example, in an air combat movie, a Phantom fighter needs to be made, and its production cost is more than one million.

In post-production, in order to present the most realistic appearance of weapons and equipment, more detailed production is required, and the pyrotechnics and shells of each gun need to be specially produced and rendered, which is also a lot of money.

The last category is active equipment. Naturally, this has nothing to say, and the effect it presents is naturally very shocking. But in fact, there are only a handful of crews or film and television dramas that can really get active equipment for filming, and they are generally some dramas with the participation of troops, such as the 'Special Forces Series', the aforementioned domestic air combat movie, and so on.

It's just that this kind of film and television drama has the participation of the army's propaganda department and plays the role of external propaganda, so it can have favorable conditions in this regard.

But Han Li's drama basically does not have this possibility, nor does it have this favorable conditions. Therefore, the only way to do this is to contact the relevant prop production company or studio first to see if there is a suitable one.

If not, you'll have to make it yourself.

Although the school's military fan association has made relevant weapons and equipment props by itself, its finesse does not meet the requirements for filming. To put it simply, it is that there is not enough detail, and it looks a little fake under the lens.

But after some contact with them, they found that there was no suitable weapon equipment props production company or studio in China.

There are such prop production companies and studios, but most of them produce weapons and equipment used in anti-Japanese war dramas, or some cold weapons and armor.

Nowadays, weapons and equipment props are too special, and these prop production companies and studios generally do not come to touch them.

Although there are a few companies that are willing to communicate with them, the words that they are willing to open molds for them at every turn made Han Li and them consciously hang up the phone.

In this "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Desert Lonely City", in fact, there are not many weapons and equipment in the play, and they are basically some gunfights. This is mainly because Han Li considered it domestic when he wrote it, so in order to avoid risks, he wrote the scale of the battle relatively small.

The main sources of weapons and equipment are a foreign mercenary team and a poaching gang, so the types of weapons and equipment are relatively simple and the number is not large.

Therefore, after careful discussion, everyone decided to make these weapons and equipment props by themselves. In order to achieve the most realistic results, they not only used the rotary engraving technology, but also used 3D printed parts. Even in some parts that require metal texture, Han Li also specially used lathes to make some pure metal parts, which are no different from those on real guns.

In other words, in addition to not having the function of a real gun, these props they made are no different from real guns in appearance, texture, and even holding feeling.

For this, they also got into a lot of trouble. For example, in order to spray a few firearms made by the prop master of the props team, they were placed outside, which was conducive to the smell of fire.

But the enthusiastic residents who lived nearby didn't know that they saw a few prop masters fiddling with these guns and thought they were real guys, so they called the police.

As soon as the police heard that there were people fiddling with firearms, and there were quite a few of them, they treated it as a major police situation. Not only did it alarm the criminal police, but even the special police were touched.

……

Bangbangbang, a few knocks on the door brought back to the busy prop masters, and a young prop master put down the work in his hand and rushed to the door, shouting: "Who! ”

property, come and check the gas pipes. A woman's voice came from outside the door.

The prop master didn't think much of it, and then opened the door.

But the moment he opened the door, he was pushed to the ground by several heavily armed SWAT officers who poured in from outside, and then a group of SWAT officers rushed into the room with guns raised, only to hear someone shouting: "Don't move, police!" ”

When several prop masters who were frightened by this scene came back to their senses, several policemen wearing police uniforms with serious faces were staring at them.

Not only did they not know what was wrong, but it was officially because of their carelessness that they recruited the police.

However, it was not only these prop masters who were stunned at the scene, but also these policemen who rushed in. I thought it was a big case, but I didn't expect that the guns I saw were actually some more realistic toys, and I couldn't even say that the toys could only be regarded as models.

After careful questioning, I learned that these people are the prop masters of the crew and are now making props. After learning that these were props, the police officers couldn't help but laugh. Laughing because the props are real guns and so many police forces are dispatched, crying is also because of this fake police situation and mobilizing so many police forces, I don't know how to explain it.

And how can this case still be related to the crew, which means that it can't just be used as an ordinary police education and leave directly. If it is not handled properly, the entire Internet may be disturbed by those gossip and entertainment reporters, and they will be the ones who will be unlucky at that time.

So these policemen can only report to the above while contacting the person in charge of the crew.

As the director of the crew, Tong Yongjun naturally had to come forward to solve this problem. It's just that he hasn't been back to China for a long time, and he doesn't understand the situation in China, and Han Li himself is also the person in charge of this play, which is even more in Anxi, on their own territory. Therefore, he had to accompany Tong Yongjun to go with him.

When the leaders of the two sides meet, the matter will naturally be solved. Han Li himself is also a relatively well-known young man in Anxi, so he can be regarded as a leader in this leadership.

In addition, this drama has also been filed in the city bureau before, so this is a misunderstanding in itself. Therefore, after a polite exchange, everyone naturally dispersed.

Of course, I don't know how to deal with Han Li on the police's side, as for the few prop masters here, Han Li scolded angrily.

Although it seems that they are not at fault, Han Li, who is very unhappy, still wants to find someone to vent his anger.

In addition to these firearms and props, there are also some that are more special, even more dangerous. That is the explosive point used to shoot explosion scenes as well as battle scenes.

Under normal circumstances, the explosive materials used in the crew are gasoline bombs, to put it bluntly, gasoline is filled with mineral water bottles, and then detonated with mines*.

This method is commonly used to shoot the blasting scenes of some film and television dramas, among which the Anti-Japanese War dramas are the most used. And although this method seems to be more powerful, it is less lethal and relatively safe.

What's more, the materials are relatively easy to obtain and the cost is relatively low, so they are used by a large number of crews.

The second is real emulsion explosives and black powder, and even TNT explosives commonly used in warfare. This part of the explosives is relatively powerful, the range is relatively light, and the lethality is relatively strong, so the degree of danger is very high, so basically the pyrotechnics who have been specially trained in this field are in charge.

And even so, the domestic jurisdiction over this is relatively strict, and it is only possible to use it in the approval of the application and some large-scale war dramas.

This time, Han Li: They will have several live-action blasting shots in the location shooting, which has been specially entrusted to the relevant professional team to be responsible. When it came time to shoot, they just had to do what the director intended, and then blast in front of the camera.

During the whole process, neither the actors nor the director of the crew could come into contact with these dangerous goods, so the safety was still guaranteed.

And this is one of the few industries that are more professional in China, and of course, it is also a special industry and national conditions.

In addition, there are some explosive points, which are not as strict as the explosive blasting mentioned above. All the fried spots can be purchased through channels, and the security is also guaranteed.

To put it simply, there are two types of explosions.

First of all, the first is to simulate the large explosion point used by a bullet to shoot into the ground and splash up dust. The explosive content of this kind of explosive point is relatively high, so it is relatively powerful. It requires a special pyrotechnician to set it up, and it is usually buried in the earth.

Of course, there are also sandbags, trees, walls, water, snow, etc., in short, it is the effect of simulating a bullet shooting at such objects.

Because of the high power of this kind of large explosion point, during filming, the actor is required to memorize the travel route to ensure that he does not step on the explosion point, which may cause danger.

However, actors can't dodge far away because the explosion point is dangerous, so there will be no thrilling effect like in film and television dramas.

Under normal circumstances, the explosion point is basically blown up at a position of one or twenty centimeters around the side, because it is a directional blasting method, so as long as you keep a distance and pay attention to the angle corresponding to the explosion point, there will be no problem.

The so-called often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, every year in Hengdian Xiangshan and other film and television cities, because of the filming of this kind of anti-Japanese war drama, there are not a few actors who are bombed by this kind of explosion.

Generally, the injuries are relatively mild and not dangerous, but they still cause permanent damage to some actors, the most of which are the most vulnerable to injury and the softest eyes.

Of course, generally these injured actors are extras or stand-ins, because the crew is more thoughtful in protecting the leading actors, while the group actors and stand-ins don't care too much.

The second type of explosive point is a small explosive point with a relatively small amount of medicine, which is usually used on the actor's body to simulate the effect of the character being shot in the play.

Therefore, in order to achieve the real situation, this kind of small explosive point will generally be used with a small blood pack, so that after the explosive point is exploded, there will be blood flowing out, which is a more realistic simulation of the shooting situation.

Of course, with the continuous refinement of the division of labor in the film and television drama industry, there is now a special item that combines small fried points and blood packets.

Therefore, in order to achieve the real situation, this kind of small explosive point will generally be used with a small blood pack, so that after the explosive point is exploded, there will be blood flowing out, which is a more realistic simulation of the shooting situation.
