67. The art of extreme balance, the challenge of walking at a height of 100 meters has officially begun!
“oh! Fei! This is crazy! ”
The filming scene of "Spider-Man 2".
When he heard what Chen Fei wanted to design, Sam jumped up directly from his seat, his face full of astonishment!
He never thought that this action director from Huaxia was even crazier than Jackie Chen.
Set up a steel cable between two skyscrapers no less than 100 meters and let Spider-Man walk right in the middle to take a picture overlooking the city.
Just thinking about it, Sam was a little excited and couldn't hold back his pee.
The final result of this shot must have been perfect, and he even thought of the scene of the audience screaming in the cinema.
It's just that although this action is very bold, exciting, and novel, it is too difficult to achieve.
It's easy to set up a steel cable.
After all, there are many skyscraper managers in New York who will happily lend their buildings to you if you're willing to pay enough dollars.
But it's too hard to get it done!
100 meters in the air, a steel cable, thrilling shots......
It's just too dangerous!
Sam could swear that Toby would never be able to do it.
"What if I were his stand-in?"
"Huh?!"
As soon as Chen Fei's words came out, Sam's eyes suddenly lit up.
There is not much difference in size between the two, and if you wear a spider suit, the audience will definitely not be able to detect the abnormality.
"But, Fei, aren't you afraid? At such a high position, it is difficult for our protective measures to be thoroughly implemented. ”
Hearing this, Chen Fei knew it in his heart.
This guy has already been moved by his own words!
Looking at each other, Chen Fei's face bloomed with a confident smile: "Sam, have you ever heard of what is called Chinese light gong?" ”
……
Sam was eventually persuaded by "Chinese Kung Fu".
Avi Arad, a producer sent by a Columbia company, was arranged by Sam to contact the venue and set up the tightropes.
It is expected that the preparation time will be about three days.
And in these three days, Chen Fei was not idle.
From the start of the crew to the end, he followed Sam almost every moment, learning his camera control and directing experience.
“Fei! You're a genius! ”
Seeing Chen Fei holding the camera and following Toby to complete a cool stunt capture shot, Sam couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Haha, it's over." Chen Fei's smile was very bright.
On the set, he was like a sponge, hungry and thirsty to absorb water!
He was already well versed in all kinds of shooting techniques, but now after some practical practice, he has become more and more proficient in this skill.
Returning the camera to the shocked cameraman, he returned to the back of the monitor.
The scene was already preparing for the next scene, and taking advantage of this gap, Sam turned around and asked, "Fei, I heard you're an actor, right?" ”
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded.
Sam wondered, "You have such superb camera skills, why don't you become your own director?" It's a lot cooler to be in control of the crew than being an actor. ”
"Your suggestion is very good, I'll try it."
Chen Fei was a little moved, in fact, during the filming of "Buried Alive", he learned a lot of experience from Ning Hao.
Now he has been on the Hollywood set for a few days, which makes him think a little more about "being a director himself"!
Just thinking about it, a woman's voice suddenly came from her ear: "Fei, do you want to go to the bar together tonight?" ”
Well?
Turning his head and looking at Kirsten with a high-spirited face, Chen Fei suddenly felt a headache.
Last night, because he was curious about the difference between the nightlife in New York and China, at Kirsten's suggestion, he agreed to the other party's invitation to go to the bar without much thought.
But when he arrived, he realized that this girl, who was only two years older than him, was not just inviting him to play!
On the dance floor, she made a bold offer to "spend a good night together".
Chen Fei didn't mind having something happen to her, but when he learned that the other party was now talking about a British boyfriend, he immediately refused the other party's request to "spend the night together".
He doesn't have a hobby of cuckolding others.
What's more, Kirsten is also a well-known Hollywood actress, if this matter is accidentally spread, it will definitely have a lot of impact on Chen Fei.
Although he is now mixed in the "internal entertainment suit", sooner or later he will be on the "international suit", and he doesn't want to leave a stain on himself because of the matter between men and women.
If this is in China, both men and women, usually choose to stay away after being rejected.
But this is New York!
A place that advocates openness, freedom, and spontaneity.
After being rejected by Chen Fei, Kirsten not only did not give up, but became more interested in him!
It was as if some strange desire for conquest had been activated......
Chen Fei shook his head and refused directly: "No need, thank you, tomorrow I will shoot the footage of the high-altitude tightrope, I want to take a good rest tonight." ”
"I can give you a massage, my technique is amazing!"
“……”
Chen Fei still didn't let Kirsten succeed after all, he made an excuse and left the set half an hour early.
And the result was that when he arrived at the skyscraper filming site the next day, as soon as he walked into the enclosed area of the crew, he saw the blonde girl looking at him with a resentful face.
"Fei, I called you five times last night, but you didn't answer."
"Maybe it's muted, I didn't hear it."
Chen Fei responded casually, and then walked straight to the location where Sam and the others were.
With the American knife to open the way, the two things of renting the building and erecting the steel cables were completed in just three days.
A rengo from the props group was chattering: "The floor height is 145 meters, and the steel cable is nailed with very strong safety buckles on both sides, and the bearing capacity can reach hundreds of catties."
In order to set up protection measures and avoid goofs, we erected another steel cable at a height of 150 meters, with safety ropes and lens movement rails to assist in the ...... of the shooting."
While listening, Chen Fei leaned over and looked out the window.
The thumb-thick twisted cable is stretched straight and links to another skyscraper a few hundred meters away.
Looking down, I saw that the pedestrians on the street seemed to have become as big as ants, giving people a very small feeling.
Sam turned his head and his gaze fell on Chen Fei: "Fei, does this tightrope meet your requirements?" ”
"I'll try."
Chen Fei didn't talk much nonsense, his right hand stretched out to support the steel cable, his palm was slightly forced, his body jumped up, and his feet stepped directly on the steel cable with the thickness of his thumb.
Suddenly, a picture that shocked a group of foreigners around appeared!
The moment he stepped on the tightrope, Chen Fei's body did not sway from side to side as they expected, but stood steadily.
He didn't hold a balance bar or any other auxiliary tools in his hand, so he easily stood on the steel cable with his own weight alone.
"Chinese Kung Fu!"
Sam couldn't hold back and started shouting again.
And the other foreigners also kept exclaiming, pointing at Chen Fei one after another, and they didn't know what they were muttering.
However, what happened next made all the onlookers widen their eyes directly!
I saw Chen Fei suddenly shake his body up and down, and after making sure that the steel cable was tied very firmly, he actually walked out of the window!
It was only three steps, but his whole body was already suspended in the air at a height of 100 meters.
There is no protection except for the tightrope under your feet!
