215 What is professional anti-war

"Very good, very good! Don't move, hold steady. ”

Zheng Xu retreated and gestured to let the camera slowly zoom out of the distance, because the next shot would slowly change to the perspective of the far side of the village.

When the time comes, the footage of the arrival of the US military convoy will be cut in, and as soon as the two shots are connected, it will become, the mother who is already crying stupidly, feels the rumbling vibration, her eyes are empty, and she looks numb and stupid and looks up at the US Humvee convoy driving from far and near.

The oppressive feeling brought about by the mighty driving of a dozen Humvees.

There is also a sense of immediacy when a devil enters the village!

In this kind of place, through the death of a little girl, coupled with the mother who has gone crazy, through the perspective of ordinary people, the cruelty of war and the brutality of the American army can be set off!

Who does the war hurt the most?

O common people!

Are the mothers and daughters in the camera miserable now?

That's it!

Only when they die tragically, the audience will empathize and experience the cruelty of war!

What is it?

This is the core element of anti-war films, war is brutal!

The damage that war does to the ordinary people of a country is simply too great!

An ordinary Afghan family, it's over in an instant!

This is anti-war!

Although this kind of anti-war content is very popular internationally and the subject matter is also very deep, Zheng Xu only added such an episode at the end of the first season of "Thunderbolt Ranger", which can be regarded as private goods.

If you add too much private goods, it will cause a directional effect, just stop tasting it.

It's been a long time, so take your time.

......................

"Good! Prepare for the explosion! ”

The actor's mood is in place, but since he has engaged in this kind of plot, he has to be real!

How can it be real?

Even the little girl's mother died, of course!

A bomb point buried in the ground, ready to detonate.

When the time comes, the editing will be done here, and as soon as the US military shop appears, the machine guns on the front of the Humvee convoy will shoot at this side!

On the real battlefield, the machine gun is not used to be so abrupt, what is a da-da, that is nonsense!

In some film and television dramas, the trigger is pulled and you don't let go, and the machine gun bullets are fired out like no money, although the audience looks very cool when it is filmed, but it will lose professionalism!

And now Zheng Xu's shooting of the U.S. military, what he wants is realism!

You can't shoot like this!

Moreover, the machine gun does not strafe, and it can shoot well, and there is no need to arrange so many explosive points.

.......................

The little girl's mother stared blankly at the US military convoy coming from far and near in front of her.

Suddenly!

"Da Da Da!"

Three explosion points erupted on the ground from far and near.

Only the explosion point of the power of the small rubbing cannon is very safe, this is the machine gun fire in the distance!

Experienced veterans know that the real use of machine guns, in non-extreme conditions, is all point fire!

Either double or triple shots, which can not only ensure the accuracy and power of support, but also ensure the continuity of firepower.

The first three bursts are also exquisite, and these three bullets are both ranging and calibration!

Through a small lens, you can show the marksmanship of the US veterans to the fullest!

It can also show from the side the decisiveness and proficiency of the US military's shooting!

This is a civilian! The clothes she wore were civilian clothes, or a woman, and the US military did not hesitate to shoot!

The wait did not last, and after three calibrated bursts, three more gunshots rang out, and the explosion point on the little girl's mother exploded.

A medium and long lens is taken on the side of the woman, so that the bloody shots are avoided.

The camera on the other big swingarm gave a close-up of the woman's face, and the muscles on the woman's face twitched violently a few times, and the brilliance in her eyes slowly dissipated.

Six bullets, just a few seconds, without any hesitation, a life dissipated again!

Seeing that her sister was shot and fell to the ground, she had a look that had not yet recovered from the sadness of her little niece being killed, and she was even more stimulated by this scene!

"Ahh

! ”

crawled to my sister's side and carefully picked up my sister, this poor woman is dead!

The close-up shot was given to the chatter's hand, the trembling hand was slowly withdrawn, and the chatter looked at the blood on his hand in confusion, and he couldn't tell for a while, whether it was my sister's or my little niece's blood.

"Run!"

He is still immersed in sadness, he is from Yanguo, he is still young, he has never experienced this kind of war scene, but his brother-in-law is an Afghan!

How many years has the U.S. military been doing evil in Afghanistan?

He has seen it many times, and his reaction is quite fast, dragging his injured thigh, plopping down and chattering, pushing him to let him run quickly!

Confused, he still wanted to pull his dead sister, but he was pushed by his brother-in-law to let him run!

"Dada~"

Three more bursts.

The canteen master's bearded face twitched, and he bit the plasma bag in his mouth just right, and red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Quick...... Running ....."

As soon as the words fell, he lay on his stomach and didn't move.

He used his body to protect this brother-in-law who came from afar until he died!

Will the real Afghans be so good to the Yanguo people?

Zheng Xu doesn't know!

But now the script has to be like this, and it must be like this!

To reflect the simplicity and kindness of the Afghans, only when the civilians are simple and kind, and seeing their tragic deaths, can the audience's empathy be stimulated!

He is miserable, so as to bring out the brutality of the US military.

It's all dramatic, it's all routine!

.....................

He staggered into the village, and the thin earthen walls did not give him the slightest sense of security.

"The American devils are coming!"

"Cards!"

Zheng Xu waved his hand and asked the crew to hurry up and place the actors, these scenes are tiring enough, the actors are also hard, they are all hard, and the acting skills are okay, they are all cameos from employees, that's it, just put the feelings in place!

"Okay, let's have dinner here, and in the afternoon, we will shoot a footage of the US Humvee convoy marching and call it a day."

Zheng Xu doesn't like to rush to work when filming.

The more panicked you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

The outside crew will also consider the cost of the crew members every day, and they often can't wait to continue filming during the day and at night, and it is a conscientious crew to be able to rest for four or five hours a day!

But the crew of Flashing Media is so capricious!

If the shot is troublesome and tiring, then Zheng Xu will shoot for half a day and half a day, anyway, he is not bad for this cost, they are all their own people, where they work, they are all working, and some are wasted with money.

........................

"Battalion Commander Wang, thank you for your hard work, the soldiers have just come to the first day, adapt to it, and the rest will be filmed tomorrow, you will rest and rest first, the place to live has been arranged for you, I have something else to do in the afternoon, you can contact me at any time if you have something."

Zheng Xu held Camp Commander Wang's hand very sincerely, and explained while thanking him.

I had just finished filming a footage of a U.S. Humvee convoy marching, and there was not a single shot of shooting at the entrance of the village, and today's mission was over.

Such an easy shooting task, coupled with such a thoughtful arrangement, made Camp Commander Wang quite embarrassed.

"It's not hard or hard, it's all as it should be, I'm causing you trouble, Director Zheng!"

"Haha, let's not be polite, hurry up and take the soldiers back to clean up, our environment on the set is a bit difficult, it's all needed by the plot, go back and wash up and rest, let's shoot a big scene tomorrow!"

"Okay, good, then Director Zheng, you will be busy first~"

............................

After dinner in the evening, Zheng Xu took out his mobile phone and began to process some information.

I saw a piece of information sent by Lao Qin.

This is?

The message is a photo of a little girl, as well as a full set of information about her.

Chen Yao, born in 1994, is a native of Sichuan Province, currently studying at Nortel and still studying.

Looking at this somewhat green, but very recognizable picture, Zheng Xu thought about it for a long time before he met an image in his mind.

Isn't this the one who played Yue Qiluo in the original drama "Heartless Mage"?

is based on this drama, Zheng Xumo changed "Heartless Taoist".

He also liked this Yue Qiluo very much at that time.

But at that time when "Heartless Dao Chang" was filmed, this Chen Yao may still be in junior high school and high school, Sichuan Province is so big, how can he have the time to look for a needle in a haystack to find a little girl who is not famous?

He had inadvertently told Lao Qin about this before, and asked him to pay attention to this little girl named Chen Yao.

No, as soon as there was news, Lao Qin sent her information to Zheng Xu as soon as possible.

Now this little girl went to the film and television city crew for an internship during the summer vacation, and was discovered by Lao Qin.

Now the meaning of Lao Qin's message is to ask Zheng Xu if he wants this little girl.

In Zheng Xu's opinion, if you want it!

Although Chen Yao's appearance can only be regarded as middle-class when she is without makeup, and this person is very good at playing roles.

In other words, it is very suitable for playing a villain, or a villainous role, Chen Yao herself has a bit of eccentric feeling, coupled with her unique temperament, if you build this powerful villain role, it is easy to shine.

That's why it's perfect for Twinkle Media!

In addition, there is a shortage of actresses in the company now, not that Zheng Xu doesn't want to recruit new ones, but there is nothing suitable for him.

In general, small roles, flashing media own employees can make cameos, actresses with a little acting skills and a little characteristics, there are not many in the circle at present.

Most of them are small vases that are the same.

There is no shortage of this kind of small vase-style actress flashing and flashing media, isn't there still a Zhang Li, a vase with her is enough!

But now this Chen Yao can be regarded as a manufacturable material, and he can be recruited to supplement the actress team of Flashy Media.

Zheng Xu sent a message back to Lao Qin, asking him to find someone to contact this Chen Yao to see if she was interested in coming to Flashing Media, after all, the little girl is still a student and has not officially graduated.

......................

The next day, I got up early in the morning, and today the crew is going to shoot a big group scene, and Zheng Xu is also the first time to shoot so many people to participate in a big scene!

It's still a little exciting to think about.

It's been a long time since there is nothing that can make his mood fluctuate so much!

When Zheng Xu first interned a long time ago, he had a pessimistic fantasy about whether he wanted to make a documentary about the great migration of African animals, thinking about the thousands of animals and the mighty big scene, I was also a little excited.

But later, I slowly wanted to develop in the direction of film and television dramas, and my ideal became that when I had the ability in the future, I would shoot a big scene like "Armageddon".

But the ideal is plump, the reality is cruel, after entering the film and television industry for so many years, Zheng Xu deeply realized how difficult it is to shoot a big scene!

At that time, when filming "Hot Afternoon", there were scenes of crowds watching and protesting, but at that time, it was all the personnel of the few organizations that his friends helped him manage, although it was messy, but what he wanted was that effect.

Later, when filming "Why Did They Die in the Yan Country", a group performance team of one or two hundred people tortured him to death.

Group scenes, especially if you want to shoot a big scene with hundreds of people, it is really not an ordinary difficulty, and it is estimated that Director Zhang can shoot a big scene of group drama in China.

Zheng Xu's current level can only use the employees of Flashing Media and these border guards to shoot group scenes, which can be regarded as a trick.

.......................

It's still the same small Afghan village, with low earthen walls and smoky bungalows, dusty.

More than 60 employees of Twinkle Media brought two or three employees from other companies who had been trained for several months and had not yet been officially assigned to work at various sites.

Today, we are going to shoot the scene of the massacre of civilian villages in Afghanistan by the US military.

Compared with the number of people on both sides, there are more than 100 people on the side of the "US military" and nearly 200 people on the side of Afghan civilians.

Coupled with the other members of the crew, a total of more than 500 people were mobilized in order to shoot this scene!

Zheng Xu rode a very small electric car around in this small Afghan dirt village built up.

Dozens of cameras have been set up throughout the village, and this war scene will be filmed in all directions!

The village is densely packed with small green flags everywhere.

This is a warning flag, and below is the explosion point, warning the group performance not to get close to the explosion point!

Zheng Xu is used to this routine, and when the time comes to do the post-production, the special effects department will erase these small flags through technical means.

This extremely conspicuous arrangement can greatly improve the safety during the shooting process, but it is a little troublesome when preparing.

But all for safety!

After turning around, as soon as he rode a small electric car out of the village, Zheng Xu took out the walkie-talkie and began to command.

"The villagers are in place in small groups! Finally, I would like to emphasize again that each team leader should bring his own team members, bring earplugs, move accurately, and follow the rehearsal! ”

"Pre-shoot first, get ready!"

Holding binoculars, I carefully watched the "Afghan" villagers wearing traditional Afghan clothes and makeup standing in their positions.

Three or four of them are a group, and the team leader is all employees of Yishan Media who have had many cameo experiences, as long as they follow the team leader's position, safety is still guaranteed.

With so many people, just by playing boards and shouting, they can't command well, and they can't equip everyone with walkie-talkies, so it's exposed!

In addition, there are earthen walls and earthen houses to shield them, so you can only use the most traditional methods to issue instructions.

Zheng Xu took the flare gun and pointed it 45 degrees ahead.

"Smack!"

"Hugh~!"

A red flare like a large monkey was hit into the sky.
