Chapter 593: Militia Leader
593
After the approval was done, Chen Beiming immediately contacted Haite's crown prince Muhammad with international long-distance calls.
He wanted to shoot the film in Het, or Domaina.
Since this is a description of the war between the American and Western armies and the militia of Yula, the combat environment should naturally be in Yula, or at least in Hait!
So contacting Muhammad is the best option.
In fact, Muhammad also has a lot of criticism about the actions of the United States and the West.
Haite was already very satisfied with the status quo, and they didn't want to push Yula to a dead end, otherwise the other countries of the Red Sea would jump out. However, the United States and the West did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted on letting Yula destroy the country, and also wanted to arrest Chairman Yula for trial.
Moreover, Muhammad is also dissatisfied with the statements made by the West and the United States in the international media, and the reporters of the West and the West always portray Hait as a backward and ignorant object who needs to be rescued by them, which no one can stand.
Chen Beiming has already investigated overtly and covertly, and Muhammad is not actually pro-American - at least not pro-American without a bottom line, and he is also a pragmatist.
That's why Chen Beiming contacted him.
Add to that his personal relationship with Muhammad, so it shouldn't be a problem to ask him for help.
Sure enough, when he said his request, Muhammad agreed without hesitation, and promised to contact the military for Chen Beiming to get Black Hawk helicopter gunships and other weapons - although this matter may embarrass the United States and the West to a certain extent, and even bring some adverse effects to the relationship between the two countries, he still immediately agreed, the reason is very simple, in addition to the good personal relationship between him and Chen Beiming, another key reason is because he perceives huge political benefits from it.
After receiving Muhammad's affirmative reply, Chen Beiming finally began to prepare for the movie "Black Hawk Down" with great fanfare.
This time, instead of following the steps, he divided all the tasks into large pieces equally, one by one, and carried them out synchronously. Publicity and distribution are one piece, post-production is one piece, and the shooting is also divided into several parts, which are responsible for several assistant directors at the same time, some shoot this part of the shot, and some shoot another part of the shot, and after the shot is completed, it will be transferred to the post-production staff for related aspects.
If it is an ordinary person, such a practice is definitely to burn himself and bring about his own destruction, but Chen Beiming is different, he has the version on the earth as a reference, how to perform this part of the plot, which shots to use, which ones to use and which ones are not, he knows that except for a few original shots, most of the others can be directly copied.
Under his careful guidance, the entire crew of "Dark Shadow Fall" suddenly rumbled, and those who stayed in Xia Guo to engage in publicity and distribution immediately started publicity and distribution, and the director and some actors who only needed to shoot in Xia Guo stayed in Xia Guo, and those who needed to rush to Haite immediately flew to Haite.
The war plot is undoubtedly the top priority of this movie, so Chen Beiming and Shangguan Yingying went to Haite with the main team members of the crew.
Because of Muhammad's advance arrangement, everyone came to the shooting base very smoothly.
Muhammad originally planned to arrange a five-star hotel for everyone, but Chen Beiming refused, this time he had to hurry, so the food and accommodation were arranged at the shooting base.
Chen Beiming had asked Muhammad to help build the relevant studio, and at this moment, all the preparations were ready, just waiting for the filming to start.
"Yingying, I'll leave the shooting here to you." Chen Beiming looked at Shangguan Yingying and said.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Shangguan Yingying replied quietly.
Chen Beiming didn't say anything more, just turned around and went out to start his preparations.
In the "Black Hawk Down" on Earth, the Somali militia is a group of savage bandits, cruel and ferocious, so even if they are beaten to pieces by American soldiers, the audience will not have any sympathy for them.
But Chen Beiming's movie can't be made like this.
He didn't plan to change the side of the American and Western armies, but on the side of the Yula militia, he had to rewrite the plot and script.
He wanted to capture the spirit of the people of Yula who bravely resisted and sacrificed in the face of the American and Western armies.
His purpose is very simple, that is, to tell everyone that the war is very cruel, and that you and the West have launched this war not only to cause heavy losses to yourself, but also to make the people of Yula live in misery, and your defeat is your own fault, and if you fight again, you will inevitably fail.
Therefore, the resistance and resistance of Yula's side have to be shot with a different taste.
"Mr. Chen, this way." Seeing Chen Beiming come out, a man wearing traditional Arab clothes walked over.
He was an interpreter sent by Muhammad and specialized in helping Chen Beiming coordinate and resolve various related issues.
"Mr. Nasser, I'm sorry for you." Chen Beiming said politely.
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome, this is what I should do." The other party replied with a smile.
He first took Chen Beiming to see the actors he selected.
In order to express the spirit of the people of Yula, it is very important to play several important supporting roles in Yula, especially the militia leader, so the choice of actors is very crucial.
"Mr. Chen, this is a few of our famous actors." Walking into a room, Nasser introduced Chen Beiming one by one.
Most of the actors have no problems, but Chen Beiming, the guy who plays the leader of the Yula militia, is not very satisfied.
He was too suave and did not have the sharpness and imposing of a commander. If this leader is not memorable, his goal of whitewashing the militia organization may not be achieved.
"This actor has to be replaced." Chen Beiming said to Nasser.
When Nasser heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed: "Mr. Chen, we have picked out all the best actors for you to choose, and if you have to change people, there is no better one." ”
Chen Beiming knew that the other party had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Nasser, I'm not saying that the actor's acting skills just now are not good, but his temperament is not very suitable, I want to find an actor with sharp eyes, very bright, and a tenacious spirit of swearing to die." ”
Nasser thought carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I really don't have anyone you want here." ”
This?
Chen Beiming was suddenly embarrassed.
The relationship between the leaders of Domaina is very important, and whether he can shoot this role well is related to whether he can splash dirty water on the side of the US and Western military.
So, everyone else can compromise, but this role can't be lowered.
"So be it, Mr. Nasser, you give me the list of all the actors, and I'll see for myself."
"Okay." Nasser nodded.
However, Chen Beiming was disappointed, he looked at all the candidates given by Nasser twice, but he did not find a suitable candidate.
What can I do?
