Chapter 561: Mythology

"Chen Jing and Wu Jing co-directed and starred in the military war film "Changjin Lake", which is full of crystals!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"Chen Jing and Wu Jing will cooperate again with the new film "Changjin Lake" to start, and it will be set for next year's National Day!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report Entertainment

"The new film "Changjin Lake" starts filming, and Chen Jing proudly says that it will break the box office record in film history!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

"The only one who can beat me is myself, Chen Jing said that "Changjin Lake" will break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2"!" --- Qiandu Entertainment

"With an investment of more than 1 billion, Chen Jing and Wu Jing want to create an epic war blockbuster!" --- news of the launch conference of "Changjin Lake" ...... "Changjin Lake" quickly spread all over the country and the Internet, causing a heated discussion.

This movie, which has attracted much attention since its preparation, has become the focus of attention of all parties because of the joining of Chen Jing and Wu Jing.

Therefore, the news of the launch conference has also attracted the attention of countless people. The investment exceeded 1 billion, and Chen Jing's bold words became the focus of media reports.

It also shocked everyone who paid attention. With an investment of more than 1 billion yuan, it should be one of the films with the highest investment in China, and obviously Chen Jing and Wu Jing have a lot of ambitions this time.

And Chen Jing said that he wanted to break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2", which made everyone shake their heads. After all, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is as high as 6.001 billion yuan, and it is the only domestic film with a box office of more than 6 billion.

The No. 2 ranked "Nezha: The Demon Boy Descends to the World" is nearly 900 million yuan short of it, which is not a small gap.

With the current situation in China, the performance of the film market is definitely not as good as in the previous two years. The box office champion "Eight Hundred" in 2020 is only 3.11 billion yuan, which is almost half of "Wolf Warrior 2".

At this time, the domestic influence has not been completely eliminated, and it is estimated that it is unlikely next year, and the film market will still be affected.

In addition, "Changjin Lake" is set to be in the National Day file, and there has not been a box office champion in film history in this schedule.

There is still a certain gap between its box office explosion compared with the Spring Festival and summer files. Therefore, everyone's rhetoric about Chen Jing is more like a slogan deliberately shouted by the propaganda movie, which is just a gimmick!

This is also true of the crew, including "Changjin Lake".

"How dare you say it!" Wu Jing looked at Chen Jing and smiled,

"Is it possible to be the box office champion in film history next year?" Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, knowing that Wu Jing felt that it was unlikely, after all, the current domestic environment was not very good, so she didn't want to explain more, because this thing couldn't be explained.

Before the release of every movie, it is basically a gamble, and no one can guarantee what the final box office will be.

"Hey...... I think it's very simple! Chen Jingdao,

"If one movie can't reach it, then there are two."

"Two?" Wu Jing was stunned when she heard this,

"It's not that difficult." The two have already discussed that "Changjin Lake" will be divided into two parts.

Because the Battle of Changjin Lake is magnificent and huge, and in order to pursue perfection, many details need to be shown, so the length will definitely exceed the standard.

Therefore, the movie must be divided into two parts, otherwise it is incomplete! For example, for the description of the US military, the two decided to give a considerable amount of space.

Because only by showing the powerful weapons and equipment of the US army, as well as the perverted level of later support, can it better reflect the difficult combat conditions of the volunteers.

"Changjin Lake" will not scandalize the U.S. military's war mobilization and logistics transportation capabilities. Because the stronger the enemy, the more able to show the myth created by the volunteers!

The victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is not an exaggeration to say that it is a myth. The U.S. military has just finished World War II and is at the peak of its combat capability, coupled with its superiority in equipment and logistics, especially air supremacy that the volunteers do not have.

Therefore, before the start of the war, except for the domestic country, the basic belief that the US military would win. Many units of the Volunteer Army rushed into Korea to fight.

The Ninth Corps, where the 7th Interspersed Company was located, was actually built as a team to liberate the treasure island at the beginning.

As a result, the order was not to go south, but to go north. Therefore, it was very hasty, and by the time the 7th Interspersed Company entered Korea, many troops had already entered first.

Therefore, the 7th Interspersed Company had to hurry up and march so that it could reach the place of battle at the appointed time. Time is urgent, and the logistics capability of the volunteers is far inferior to that of the US military, especially since they are often bombed by the US air force.

As a result, many troops did not receive cotton clothes when they entered the DPRK to fight, and materials became extremely scarce. Not only were there a shortage of cotton clothes, but the volunteers also encountered cold weather in North Korea once in decades, when the lowest temperature reached minus 40 degrees.

So the volunteers are not only fighting against the US army, but also against the weather. In the textbook, everyone should have learned that a thinly dressed volunteer soldier was frozen to death.

When the company commander saw this, he asked angrily,

"Where's the Chief of Logistics? Why is he wearing so little? As a result, a soldier looked at the soldier who was frozen to death and said,

"He's the head of logistics." This plot is absolutely realistic, not made up, and it is a common phenomenon in the volunteer army.

Another example is the Ice Sculpture Company! In order to ambush and surround the US troops, the entire company lay in the snow for six days and seven nights without cotton clothes, and as a result, the last shot was not fired and the US troops broke through and ran away.

The chief was so angry that he wanted to kill the company commander, but in the end it turned out that only two people in the company survived, but they were also severely frostbitten.

As for the others, they were all frozen into ice sculptures and sacrificed! This is the Ice Sculpture Company! Many soldiers died before they saw the American troops.

In addition, food is also a big problem, and the food of the volunteers is basically fried noodles and potatoes. If you can't swallow the fried noodles, grab the snow and swallow it hard.

The potatoes are too hard and toothy when frozen, so they are left close to the body for a while, and they can only be eaten when they are soft. As a result, many volunteer soldiers had diarrhea and malnutrition, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army.

It even caused a lot of non-combat attrition. On the other side, the U.S. military has hot soup, meat, vegetables, canned food, wine, coffee, and so on.

Even many U.S. troops threw away half-eaten canned food, apparently despising this kind of food. By the way, these foods thrown away by the US military were picked up by the South Korean army and stewed in a mess, and then a delicacy that has been passed down in South Korea to this day, the army pot!

These will be what "Changjin Lake" wants to show. Only with comparison can we show how difficult it is to win this war!

However, although the war was won, it was actually completely piled up by the flesh and blood of the volunteers!

"So, it shouldn't be so difficult to make a 3 billion film!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Hey, when the time comes, it's just like that, and the media will not take you seriously, hahaha......" Wu Jing said with a smile. The two chatted for a while, then separated, and each came to their respective shooting crews.

"Chen Dong is here!" Chen Guofu said with a smile. Chen Jing smiled and nodded,

"Mr. Chen, how are you preparing?"

"There are also people who are taking their temperatures, and they can do it." Chen Guofu said. Chen Jing nodded when she heard this,

"By the way, has their visa problem been solved?"

"It's being solved, it shouldn't be a big problem." Chen Guofu said. Chen Jing was relieved after hearing this. In the previous life, the crew of "Changjin Lake" was originally going to start filming in February.

And before the start of filming, nearly 2,000 people from the crew had reached Dandong. As a result, the whole country suddenly pressed the pause button, and 2,000 people were trapped in Dandong and could not leave.

The logistics of 2,000 people is a big problem. In addition, many people are foreign actors, and the expiration of visas has become a big problem.

At the same time, the director of "Changjin Lake" was Liu Weiqiang, but he left because "Changjin Lake" was suspended.

By the time "Changjin Lake" was ready to start filming again, Liu Weiqiang was already directing "Huaxia Doctor".

Then the three directors who came after took over. Chen Jing came to her director's tent, and it was really cold in the Northeast in December.

The entire crew has as many as 1,000 people at this time, and the entire crew of "Changjin Lake" is a huge military camp.

At this time, the crew was going to shoot the scene of the U.S. army's landing at Incheon. There are dozens of newly made tanks in the crew, and these tanks are all working properly.

These tanks will be blown up in the next war. The assistant directors are lining up people who have their temperature taken, because it is the US military, so the crew has found a lot of foreigners.

But it is definitely not possible to gather a pure American army of nearly 1,000 people, so I can only find domestic group performances to mix in, as long as I don't give the camera, it's not a big problem.

"Later, the camera cuts in from the troops who landed on the beach, then the hatch of the warship, the tanks and American soldiers who came out. Then there is the high-altitude lens, which requires the cooperation of the aerial camera to overlook the entire barracks, from far to near, and then from near to far, understand? Chen Jing explained.

"Okay, Director!" Chen Jing then found the assistant director,

"The zones are all divided, right?"

"Yes, Director!"

"Three soldier lines, two tank lines, in addition to the logistics department, rest area, headquarters, training area, etc., should be divided neatly, so that when shooting from above, it can be clearly organized and clear at a glance." Chen Jing said.

"Don't worry, director, it's been divided according to the requirements, I'll go and confirm it for the third time now."

"Okay, then you can go!" Chen Jing nodded. Chen Jing then went to communicate with several major foreign actors, and then waited for the start.

Twenty minutes later, the assistant director came to ask if he could start filming. Chen Jing smiled and nodded.

"Everybody's quiet, everybody's quiet, ready to start filming right away!"

"One last confirmation, photography?"

"No problem!"

"Master Pole?"

“oK!”

"Are the actors moving?"

"It's moving!" …… After getting the assistant director's gesture, Chen Jing nodded.

""Changjin Lake" 10 scenes, 1 shot, 1 shot, smack!"

"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted. With Chen Jing's order, the soldiers who had been standing still suddenly walked in unison!

This scene is filmed of the landing of U.S. troops at Incheon Port, and the camera shows the scene when U.S. troops landed.

The aerial camera first filmed the U.S. troops getting off the warship, and then marching in line. Separated from the army were tanks that also disembarked from warships.

Three groups of soldiers, mixed with two tanks, landed at Incheon. Then the camera zooms out to show the entire U.S. military camp.

"Turn the camera of the drone to the tent area." Chen Jing looked at the monitor and said.

"Roger!" Chen Jing stared at the camera in the monitor seriously, and shouted when he felt that it was okay,

"Okay, it's over, the next set of shots is ready!" It's just a few long-range and close-up switching, and it's not too difficult.

""Changjin Lake" 10 scenes, 2 shots and 1 time, snap!"

"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted.

"What a good time for reporters to take pictures, is MacArthur going to use this to run for president? He has already failed twice. The camera was still filming the entire barracks before turning to a Mercedes-Benz military vehicle.

"Do you think he will be able to run after this war is over?" Smith said in a low voice,

"Daydreaming!"

"Okay, it's over!" Chen Jing shouted,

"Continue to the next shot." The current shots are relatively simple and not very difficult, so you can basically pass it in one go.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready and the shooting continued.

""Changjin Lake" 10 scenes, 3 shots and 1 time, smack!"

"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted. Some of the American soldiers who had just disembarked were obviously a little seasick, and some of them vomited as soon as they sat down to trim themselves.

"Look at their bear-like looks! How will I take a boat back then? ”

"Hahaha......" Another passing infantry regiment passed by and couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene. When the soldier behind him heard this, he couldn't help but kick the soldier in front of him who was constantly vomiting, and complained,

"Spit to the side, don't embarrass our group!"

"Poof......" replied with another mouthful of vomit.

"Click!" Chen Jing shouted,

"The last time, there's nothing left, keep drinking a little and throw it up again!"

"Okay, Director!" When the assistant director heard this, he immediately went over to communicate. After the second time, Chen Jing nodded.

……

"Remember? We defeated the Russians in Siberia in World War I and the islanders in the Philippines in World War II...... Uh......"

"Click!" Chen Jing shouted.

"I'm sorry, director, I forgot the words, my fault, my fault!"

"It's okay, do it again!" Chen Jing said. ……

"Don't worry, brothers, this war is a piece of cake compared to Normandy. Let the 1st Marine Division show it to the reporters. When the time comes, let them see what a real battle is. ”

"Click!" Chen Jing shouted,

"Regiment commander, you have to be more imposing when you speak, and the soldiers behind you are a little arrogant, yes, look at people with your nostrils, you can't be a mortal." To be honest, there are still some differences between the performance methods of foreigners and Chinese, and the same actions look different with the same words.

However, this is a war movie, and it does not require too precise emotional expression for foreigners, the lines are right, just give some gestures.

At that time, the film will include the original foreign language soundtrack, but you don't have to worry about the wrong lip shape, which is more realistic.

In addition, foreigners work eight hours a day, unlike in China, where they dare not complain about day and night reversal.

Because there are actors' unions in the United States to help them out, the daily filming time is still a little tight, and it must be used well.
