217 Good deeds to the end
The soil is not as strong as the masonry, and if it is replaced with a cement house, the explosion damage is far from achieving the effect of this kind of civil engineering house.
Not to mention the cost and effort of using a cement room, the visual effect is not good-looking.
Now the "acting" of this small dirt village is very good!
On the billowing smoke, there was not even a complete building visible above the ruins, and in the thick black smoke, there were several models of fake corpses exposed.
The real crowd has withdrawn, and of course the audience can understand that they are buried in the ground or blown up!
There is nothing bloody at the scene, just highlight a tragic word, highlight an inch of grass!
"Okay, the camera zooms out, and the "U.S. military" pays attention to the gun! Machine gun fire, pay attention to expressions, have close-ups of faces, smile a little, and relax your expressions! ”
The "U.S. Army" GIs all wear headsets, which is convenient for Zheng Xu to command and shoot, and they can be adjusted at any time.
Machine guns from several Humvees directly in front of the village began to fire.
This is because the gunboats in the air have hit too hard, and the target has been reduced to rubble, but the American GIs below have not consumed enough ammunition!
What to do?
Replenish the gun, strafe it.
Several American GIs and machine gunners laughed and held machine guns to shoot wildly at the ruins of a small Afghan village...
"Cards! Rest~"
A big scene shot is completely over.
Zheng Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, the cost of funds is still secondary, and the most important thing is that this big scene is too time-consuming to arrange!
There is no room for mistakes, a mistake, everything has to be repeated, and the shooting is extremely smooth, although there are a few small fluctuations, but it does not affect the overall situation.
After the filming of this scene, the cameo scenes of the soldiers are over, and there are still two scenes left to be completed.
.....................
"Talk about touching up your makeup, finish filming your scene~"
The make-up artist gave the chatter a dusty make-up, and a few field attendants helped bury the chatter in the rubble on the edge of the small dirt village.
As the most important introduction, although Nag was not the protagonist in the first season of "Thunderbolt Ranger", he can't die yet.
The reason why the scene about the massacre of Afghan civilian villages by the US military was filmed, in addition to revealing the true face of the US military in Afghanistan, it was also necessary to lure the protagonist out by chatter, and then smoothly transition the plot to the second season!
Zheng Xu doesn't want to engage in the kind of sequel mode in which the big boss of the bad street is not dead, and then makes a comeback with a vengeance.
Their "Thunderbolt Ranger" is still very commercially promising, but it is not only a few seasons of vitality.
At present, the only place where BYD pulls his crotch is that they are still a little hesitant about the matter of trading names, no matter what they think, in the past few months of filming, BYD has not taken practical action.
Although they had little influence on the second season, Zheng Xu still activated the B-type ending arranged in the script.
In order to face different sponsors, the first season of "Thunderbolt Ranger" was originally set up with three endings: A, B, and C.
It's just to deal with three scenes.
And today's B-type ending is to put it bluntly, it is to destroy the BYD version of the original Thunderbolt car that participated in the filming this time!
The protagonist Lei Mu received a call for help, it turned out that the chatter was on the outskirts of the village, and at the first time the village was attacked, he was knocked out by the explosion of building debris, and was later buried under the ruins of the building, and when he woke up, the American army had already left!
The rest of the plot is to ride his brother-in-law's happy 250 old-fashioned motorcycle that fell on the side of the road to escape, and on the way, he also asked his friend Li Yuanchao for help in a place where there was a signal.
The chatter that was inadvertently discovered by the U.S. military reconnaissance drone attracted the pursuit of the U.S. drone, and after successfully connecting with Li Yuanchao, who came to meet him in a thunderbolt car, the two fled to the border.
But the Thunderbolt was eventually hit by four anti-tank missiles fired by U.S. drones.
Although the appearance of the Thunderbolt was miserable by the anti-tank missile, it did not completely lose power, and finally the two successfully drove the Thunderbolt back to the territory of Yanguo!
The Thunderbolt is not invincible, it will be damaged by the weapons of the US military, and after the damage, the routine will be simple!
The next step is to upgrade, and in a year or two, when the second season of "Thunderbolt Ranger" project is launched, you can use this as an excuse to change sponsors, and the newly upgraded Thunderbolt can be a new model of the sponsor!
The logic is clear, the plot is not blunt, and when the screenwriter arranged this ending, he took all the unstable factors into account, and the second season, whether it changes sponsors or not, will not have any impact on the series itself.
The biggest impact is the Thunderbolt itself, but isn't it supposed to be the way the Thunderbolt is upgraded!
Even if the sponsor is not changed in the second season, it is still sponsored by BYD, then the production model of the first-generation Thunderbolt car will be almost sold by then, and the new model must be considered!
.............................
"The Thunderbolt is badly damaged, and it seems that the current border situation is too severe, and we need to upgrade and strengthen the Thunderbolt so that it can face more uncertainties in the future."
In the underground repair shop, the Thunderbolt is parked on a metal stand that is still a bit sci-fi in shape.
A pure white long table, wearing a slim gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses, was blindly gesturing at the empty table, and motioned to Lei Mu next to him to let him look at the air.
Lei Mu looked at the place Bai Ke pointed to with a serious face.
Here Zheng Xu is ready to imitate the trick that many science fiction movies like to use, holographic display technology!
It is the two actors who perform in the air without physical objects, and then add holographic display special effects through the special effects department in the later stage, but what is presented in front of the audience is the white guest's finger pointing at the three-dimensional display of the hologram, which is a bit of the feeling of Stark designing the steel suit in Iron Man.
"My comrade-in-arms is handed over to you, and I look forward to you giving him a new lease of life!"
After Bai Ke finished talking about the upgrade method, Lei Mu nodded and made the final decision with a resolute face.
"Cards!"
"Papapa~"
"Finished!"
Zheng Xu stood up and walked out, ignoring the actors who were still celebrating.
The material shooting part of this drama is officially over, because the special effects are produced simultaneously, although the progress of the special effects work is not fast, but around December this year, the finished film can be completed.
After a busy few months, it's time to take a break.
The employees relaxed, and Zheng Xu hurried back to the office to receive an important visitor.
....................
"Hello Leader Ma, let you wait for a long time, we just finished filming over there, and we delayed it for a while."
As soon as he entered the office, Zheng Xu saw the one sitting on the sofa, with thick black-rimmed eyes, and an old-fashioned Mao suit that was extremely plain.
This is the leader in charge of the area where the current set is filmed, Zheng Xu greeted this in advance and made an appointment for the two parties to meet today, and the young man sitting next to him was the secretary of Leader Ma.
"Haha, Director Zheng is out of the way, we have just arrived, isn't it not yet the agreed time."
Leader Ma laughed very boldly, he didn't know what Zheng Xu meant by asking him to come today, but just after a while, the secretary heard that the crew was finished today, and this leader Ma understood, it is estimated that the crew is finished filming, and the crew is leaving!
"Okay, then let's make a long story short, I can also not delay the work of Ma Leader, um... That's the case, the crew is now filming is over, and we are ready to leave in a few days, and before leaving, we want to trouble Leader Ma to help with something. ”
Zheng Xu glanced at the ashtray on the coffee table in front of Leader Ma, which contained new cigarette butts.
handed a cigarette to Leader Ma before he said he needed help.
"Oh? Did the crew encounter any difficulties? Director Zheng mentions, for your project, we fully support. ”
Seeing the nervous look on Leader Ma's face, Zheng Xu hurriedly reassured: "It's not a big deal, it's like this, our crew has been filming with us in the past few months, and has traveled through many places, although we are very careful, it may be inevitable that there will be some omissions, I want to recruit a group of environmental security inspectors in the name of the crew to help us check and fill in the gaps, see if there is any garbage that needs to be disposed of, and where there is damage and loss, we will also compensate in full." ”
"Environmental security inspectors?"
Leader Ma thought about it, this word sounds unfamiliar, but this is almost the meaning of temporary sanitation workers, right? Is it to help the crew deal with the garbage left behind in the filming location?
"Is it like a sanitation worker? Help the crew deal with the garbage on the set? ”
Leader Ma asked Zheng Xu uncertainly.
"Yes, that's what it means."
"But we require a tight time, two days to prepare, after the personnel arrive, the inspection time is five days, if you have any questions, you can come to me, we will repair a week and then leave, this recruitment of five days of working hours, working in the field is more difficult, it is a thousand yuan a day, Ma Leader, do you think you can?"
Hearing this salary, Leader Ma's eyes widened, this condition is too generous, as for what Zheng Xu said about hard work in the field, for local residents, isn't this their doorstep? What's the hard work, pick up garbage and give a thousand yuan a day! After five days, it is almost comparable to the total annual income of a family with some poverty points!
But Zheng Xu, what is this picture? With this money, they have so many people in the crew themselves, why don't they do it themselves?
Leader Ma immediately thought of a word-------pampered.
The secretary next to him lightly touched Leader Ma, seeing that Zheng Xu didn't pay attention to him, he whispered close to Leader Ma's ear: "Leader, I heard that every time their crew goes to a place to film, they take all the garbage away before leaving, and they clean it up very cleanly, why do we need to find someone to check it again..."
!
!
After listening to the secretary's whisper, combined with Zheng Xu's request just now, and the extremely generous salary he gave, Leader Ma's mind flashed, and everything was figured out in an instant!
The height of the station is different, and the way of doing things is different.
The information he had just learned was insufficient, and the first thing that came to his mind was that the personnel of the flashing media were pampered and unwilling to do this kind of dirty work.
Now that I compare it before and after, I realize that this is superficial!
In the face of the filming of various crews, even if Leader Ma has not been in contact with it before, can he still see a pig run if he has never eaten pork?
After each crew finishes filming in the local area, they finally have to check the environment by the local authorities, and they have to lose money if there is damage!
Especially when a certain movie was made a few years ago, the crew of the director caused irreparable damage to the local environment of the scenic spot, which had a great impact!
Transferred to Zheng Xu, although he has done a good job of environmental protection, every time he finishes filming a location scene, he even has to check the garbage several times, but they do a good job, the local officials don't know!
Since it is all to be checked in the end, but this rhetoric and way of doing things are still very particular, and a different way of euphemism can bring different results!
The local official took the initiative to send someone to inspect, and the crew passively waited for the inspection results, which is one way.
And Zheng Xu now took the initiative to mention giving money to Leader Ma to find someone to check, which is also a way!
But this way makes Leader Ma very comfortable!
There is nothing groundless in the world, since the secretary can hear these rumors, plus Leader Ma recalled the evaluation of the leader above on the director Zheng in front of him, four words! Calm and atmospheric!
Now that they are all on the right, since Zheng Xu dares to take the initiative to mention that they will send someone to check, then he must be confident in what his crew has done!
And Zheng Xu didn't say how many people he wanted to invite just now, the implication here is that it's all up to the leader of his horse to decide!
What is it? This is almost an explicit indication of sending money to the local people!
Think about what was the first thing Iwinkle Media did before coming to them to build a filming base?
They brought in several wagons of gifts, and the people in the vicinity distributed them to every household!
Although the gifts given by a family are only a thousand yuan, the number of households they send is large, and the people within a radius of dozens of miles have been delivered to every household!
The results were immediate! During the few months that the crew was filming here, not to mention that someone was looking for trouble, except for the occasional small gift from the local people, nothing accidents happened!
Even during the few months that the crew was filming here, it also greatly drove the local consumption level, and the money spent by the crew to purchase materials alone was enough for the local people to have a fat year this year!
Now before the crew leaves, they have to sprinkle another wave of money, this way of doing things is simply too comfortable!
There is not even a limit on the number of people, which means that no matter if the leader of Tama finds a hundred people, or a few hundred, Director Zheng will accept it, what is this?
Not bad for money! Atmosphere!
Thinking of this, Leader Ma took the initiative to reach out and hold Zheng Xu's hand with some shame and said: "Thank you Director Zheng for still caring about our environmental maintenance work here, you can rest assured, within two days, the personnel will be there!" ”
"Haha, then I'll trouble you Leader Ma, in addition, please rest assured, the personnel of your organization here, we will provide food, accommodation, and travel vehicles!"
"Okay, okay, I don't know if it's convenient to ask, Director Zheng's crew has been repairing in the past few days, do you need us to help?" When Leader Ma heard that Zheng Xu had even arranged the food, accommodation and transportation of the personnel, he was even more emotional, and began to inquire about the crew's itinerary for the next few days, wanting to see if he could help anything.
