Chapter 450 Shooting
[According to feedback from book friends, the filming process will be briefly sketched first, and then the plot will be described in a movie-watching style after it is released - in fact, the main reason is that there is a bit of a lag today, two updates. 】
At the same time that Brother Kun's name was powerful in Xiangjiang.
The crew of "Operation Kunpeng" has ended their domestic schedule and moved to Thailand.
After filming the scene in Bangkok where the male protagonist collects weapons and ammunition through personal connections, the crew moved to the renovated and renovated castle.
This place is set as the lair of the villain Big D. Most of the early stage of the movie was shot around this castle.
Different from last year's dilapidated state, after half a year of repairs that were only about face and not about dignity, the entire castle looks quite magnificent.
The taste is just too strong, it's a bit spicy for the eyes.
"The old castle is not well ventilated."
Chen Xuebin rubbed his nose and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone prepare some industrial fans. Just blow them to get some fresh air before shooting."
Xu Kun couldn't say anything. After all, this was all to save costs - according to the agreement with Thailand, after the filming of the movie was completed, these things would have to be dismantled and cleaned up again.
He took out the photochromic glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on. The burning feeling in his eyes finally eased a bit. Then he covered his nose and asked in a muffled voice: "Are the tanks and armored vehicles in place?"
"It's in place."
Chen Xuebin led Xu Kun around to a place that looked like a doorway, but was blocked tightly. A Type 69-2 tank was parked quietly in the shadows.
This type of five pairs of Chinese-made road wheels was once Thailand's main battle tank during the middle and late Cold War, and was gradually phased out until the late 1990s.
According to the historical trajectory, if Xu Kun had not made a movie, the last batch of 25 69-2s would have been thrown into the sea to serve as berms in 2010.
Chen Xuebin pointed to the wall in front and said: "This was originally a side door. We dismantled the entire door and built it up so that the cars in the basement could not get out. When the time comes to film Teacher Fan's plot, we will use this tank to ram it out of the wall. That’s it.”
Then he led Xu Kun down to a basement somewhere, where the smell was even stronger. The two of them squinted in and saw three tanks parked inside.
One was also a Chinese-made 69-2, an American M60A3, and another that Xu Kun didn't recognize, but judging from its shape, it should be a product of the former Soviet Union.
Lao Chen pointed at the tank and introduced: "This is...cough, cough...this is Sun Honglei's collection room, he...cough..."
According to the plot settings, these tanks are the villain's collection and are also his trump card when fighting other D-trafficking forces. However, ammunition and fuel are usually kept separately.
"Go out and say it, go out and say it!"
Seeing that Old Chen was choked and speechless, Xu Kun hurriedly pulled him out of the basement. The two of them ran out of the castle in one breath, and then they dared to breathe heavily.
Before leading the team to Thailand, Xu Kun thought about many problems that might be encountered, but he did not expect to encounter decorative materials.
It is indeed the cheapest looking product.
Old Chen asked his assistant to bring two bottles of mineral water and moistened his throat before continuing: "Although the things are here with us, according to the negotiation with the military government, when we use tanks, we need to report to them in advance. Wait. The shooting can only take place after their people arrive.”
"That's nothing."
Xu Kun asked again: "Where is the armored vehicle? Why didn't I see the armored vehicle?"
"The armored vehicle is stored in a nearby village along with other vehicles - in the future, movers and drivers will have to be found from the village. In addition, I also promised to dig a new well in the village."< br>
"You can do this as you see fit."
Xu Kun said: "But we need to pay attention to the exhaust problem inside. First, get a large exhaust fan for the garage and run it 24 hours a day. Otherwise, I'm afraid Teacher Fan will choke to death in it." In view of the harsh environment in the castle, Xu Kun decided to shoot the gunfight scene at the gate of the castle first.
During this period, after investigating the situation, the rescue team communicated according to the plan. Xu Kun led Baoqiang and Yang Junyi to rescue Mr. Fu; Zhao Wenzhuo led Zhang Jin to transport him. Class D armored vehicle.
With the protection of armored vehicles, it would be much easier for the rescue team and Mr. Fu to escape from the enemy's nest.
However, there were many more armed men escorting the car than expected, so that Zhao Wenzhuo and Yang Junyi who tried to hijack the car were suppressed by the other party.
In the end, Zhao Wenzhuo relied on his explosive skills and a series of extremely risky and slightly inconsistent actions to successfully seize the armored vehicle within the stipulated time.
Donnie Yen and Zhou Yi's martial arts team each designed a complete set of smooth movements, and then used their strong points to complement each other's weaknesses and blended them together. Zhao Wenzhuo and Yang Junyi worked hard and took five full days to complete the scene. Finished.
The final effect cannot be said to be the pinnacle of Zhao Wenzhuo's action scenes, but ranking among the top three is certainly not a problem.
This eight-minute long action shootout scene is also Zhao Wenzhuo's last highlight moment in the entire movie.
After grabbing the armored vehicle, smashing through the railings and sandbags and rushing to the entrance of the castle, Yang Junyi didn't wait for the car to stop, got out of the car and rushed into the castle, preparing to meet his teammates and Mr. Fu.
Because of this, he narrowly escaped.
Because at the same time that the armored vehicle crashed into the railing, a truck not far away removed its camouflage, revealing the twin anti-aircraft guns on the vehicle.
But it turns out that the villain played by Sun Honglei had long expected that people from China would be sent to rescue Mr. Fu, and then speculated that the armored personnel carrier responsible for transporting D products was likely to be their chosen escape tool, so he arranged an ambush in advance.
Less than three seconds after Yang Junyi jumped out of the car, more than a dozen artillery shells riddled the armored vehicle with holes.
Although Zhao Wenzhuo huddled up in time to avoid being directly hit by the shell, his head was still badly injured.
He struggled to push open the opposite car door in an attempt to escape, but was seen by Sun Honglei using a telescope. He immediately pushed away the younger man who was operating the anti-aircraft gun and fired dozens of rounds, tearing the armored vehicle apart along with Zhao Wenzhuo.
For the sake of authenticity, this scene was shot in real location without any special effects.
Although it was rehearsed seven or eight times in advance before the official filming, there were still some accidents during the filming, which forced Xu Kun to apply for another armored vehicle from the Thai military government.
Next, it was Xu Kun and others' turn to be attacked from both sides and blocked inside the castle gate, unable to move. At the critical moment, Teacher Fan rushed out in a tank to be the savior.
However, in view of the fact that subsequent filming may require the use of the complete outer wall of the castle, this plot was temporarily postponed and instead filmed first in which Xu Kun and others break into the castle to save Mr. Fu.
There is also a plot where Chef Fan discovers that the rescue team has been ambushed, runs to the oil warehouse without saying a word, kills two guards by surprise, and then uses the food delivery trolley to push the oil through the castle.
These plots are simple to say, but the filming always starts in two or three days.
By the time the filming of the scene at the castle was almost done, and it was already early April, Xu Kun led his team to the nearby jungle to continue filming the chase and counter-hunt scenes while the outside was full of vitality and everything was going on. .
Thanks to the complete preparations made in advance, and also because Xu had just acquired the nickname "Zhen Xiangjiang", there was basically no trouble during the entire filming period.
The crew started filming in Yunnan and Guizhou on February 18th, and by May 16th, filming had been successfully completed.
After two days of rest in Bangkok, the crew returned to China on May 20. As soon as they got off the plane, Xu Kun saw a somewhat familiar face on the big screen at the airport.
This man seems to be calling a horse something?
