Chapter 213 Firearms Training
"Brother Hui, have you ever shot a gun in Hong Kong?" In the car, Zhang Chen chatted with Liang Jiahui. He was really not used to being called by English names, so he simply called him Brother Hui.
Liang Jiahui shook his head: "No, I am not a member of the gun association..."
Hong Kong has a ban on guns, otherwise Hong Kong's associations cannot be so low and dare to show off their power with a knife. of.
In Hong Kong, only members of gun clubs can legally play with guns, and those who can play with guns have a high social status, at least they must be middle class or above, or have a special profession such as the police.
"Then you've been having a lot of fun during this time. Here in North America, all the filming is real, and the movements are also more realistic. When the time comes, I will find you a firearms instructor, and you will learn from him, and try to get it in half a month. Practice your movements, postures, etc. to look good. You are not required to hit the target with perfect accuracy, but at least you have to look professional and not be able to be seen at a glance..."
Hong Kong's previous gunfight movies all used Props, fake at first glance.
And because guns are banned, everyone is relatively unfamiliar with guns. Even if they are not professional, no one knows about it.
But it is different here in the United States. Everyone owns a gun. Shootings are broadcast in the news every day. People are very familiar with guns, so they must be professional.
Liang Jiahui nodded: "I know, I will pay attention."
The car drove all the way after coming out of the airport, not towards the city, but towards the suburbs.
It didn’t take long before we came to a building.
Many cars have been parked in the parking space at the door. While parking the car, Diane explained to the two of them: "This is a driving range. The boss is my friend. At the same time, the driving range also undertakes Hollywood movies. Firearms training, many celebrities train here..."
As Diane was speaking, a voice sounded from behind: "Diane? Oh, my friend, it's really you..."
>
As he said that, a figure walked towards them.
Diane also parked the car at this time: "Oh, Owen, old friend, didn't I come to see you?"
After saying that, Diane hugged the visitor, not forgetting when hugging him. Introduce to everyone: "This is the friend I'm talking about, Owen, the boss here. Owen is a retired Navy SEAL, and he has also trained the FBI's anti-terrorism force..."
A man named Owen He had neat short hair and was wearing a frog suit. When Diane spoke, he listened with a smile and stretched out his hand: "I am Owen, the boss here, welcome you."
Dai An also introduced beside him: "This is my boss, Steve, you can also call him Zhang. The other one is Tony, an actor. We are going to shoot a gunfight scene this time and need some guidance, so I I brought them to you."
"Oh, thank you Diane, and thank you all for trusting me. We are very professional and will not let you down. Come on, everyone, I will. Let me show you around..."
Everyone followed Owen and walked towards the depths of the training ground. Zhang Chen noticed that the name here was 'Explosion and Light', which was a very interesting name.
"There are seven simulation scenes in this training ground, parking lot, hostage building, abandoned factory, etc., corresponding to different training subjects. Look there, that building, Keanu Reeves is there I have been trained..."
Irving explained to everyone all the way, looking very proud.
“At present, we have provided firearms training services to 23 film crews. The coaches here are all experienced professionals, including retired special forces, retired police anti-terrorism units, and Shooting Champion, no matter what talent you need, we have it.
By the way, what is your movie about? ”
"Well, about agents..."
"Oh, that's no problem. Agents generally use handguns and other melee weapons, similar to killers. Last year, there was a "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in which the firearms part We are the ones responsible..."
Now Zhang Chen was really in awe.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has not yet been released in China at this time, but Zhang Chen knows that the production cost of this movie, an action movie starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is not low.
Owen's ability to undertake a project of this level at least shows that their strength is recognized in the industry.
Diane also laughed when she heard this, as if to say, how could the one I introduced to you be so bad?
At this time, gunshots were heard from a small dilapidated building next to it. Several people looked over curiously. Owen smiled and said: "There are actors from another crew training there. It's not convenient for us to go there, but we can Look at the monitor, come on, follow me..."
As he said that, he led everyone to a low building nearby, where the monitoring room was located.
As you walk into the building, there are photos of various celebrities and Irving hanging on the walls on both sides. Obviously, they were all students here.
Among them are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. It seems that Irving was not bragging just now.
After speaking to the person at the door, Owen led everyone into the monitoring room.
There are several rows of surveillance screens in the control room, many of which contain people.
"Bring up the picture of the building~" Owen ordered, and the staff quickly enlarged the picture.
The monitor screen showed a narrow corridor, and two people in combat uniforms were moving against the wall. Obviously, they were simulating street fighting.
The two of them took tactical steps, moving carefully against the inside of the wall, and then encountered the last corner.
The leader raised his gun diagonally and prepared to cut corners, but was suddenly told to stop. Then a coach-like person came out to correct his actions. After the correction, the two continued. This time, their actions were indeed much more professional.
At least Zhang Chen, a later netizen who has been baptized by countless gun battle movies, did not find any obvious mistakes. "Those two people are both military novices. Look, in just two weeks, they have already established themselves. At this level, they may not be able to go to the battlefield, but they are more than enough for filming."
Everyone nodded, then followed Owen out of the monitoring room and came outside again.
Continuing forward, there is an open space on one side of the road ahead, with a human-shaped target standing in the distance, which is obviously a shooting range.
On the other side of the road is a fenced-off area, where fierce gunfire can be heard from time to time, rapid and frequent. What's even stranger is that there are more than one gunshots. It sounds like there are pistols and rifles. , and shotguns.
"What's going on over there?" Zhang Chen asked proactively.
Irving smiled and replied: "My coaches are having fun over there. When they have nothing to do, they like to hold internal competitions, comparing three shots and so on..."
Zhang Chen knows three shots Gun, the so-called three-gun competition is actually one of the many IPSC competitions. It means that players continuously use assault rifles, shotguns, and pistols to shoot on the move. Because three specific weapons are used, it is called three-gun.
The three-gun shooting environment simulates real-life scenes to a great extent, and the final result is determined by the number of targets and time.
The reason why he knew this was because he watched "John Wick" in his previous life.
Keanu Reeves practiced three-gun specifically for this movie and became a master. A video of his three-gun competition has been leaked. His shooting was so smooth. No wonder "Quick" "Pursuit" was shot so well, and it is simply a real talent.
“Can I take a look?”
This coincides with Zhang Chen’s idea.
For Zhang Chen's version of "Taken", he was not prepared to copy the original movie 100%.
Although the original work is famous, he feels that the plot and character settings are pretty good, but the gunplay and action scenes are really not good.
It was said that the action director was Alan Ferraz from "The Bourne Supremacy", but Zhang Chen really didn't see any trace of "The Bourne Supremacy".
Maybe it’s because the leading actor, Liam Neeson, is too old to produce the same effect as Bourne.
The gunfight and car chase scenes are nothing outstanding either.
Zhang Chen is preparing to make major changes in these areas.
The battle scenes are based on "John Wick", which focuses on a CAR shooting method and a Mozambique shooting method.
The CAR central axis locking shooting method is not just a shooting posture, but a complete combat system including gun shooting technology, shooting method, reloading technology and close combat. It is especially suitable for Fight in tight spaces.
It is very niche, but its usage rate is very high among special personnel.
In later generations of movies, this gun shooting method has been widely used, but it has not appeared in movies in 2005. Zhang Chen is confident that if it is used in "Hurricane Rescue", it will definitely become a hit.
And this posture of holding the gun can also reflect Brian's professionalism to the greatest extent.
The reason why the previous film "Taken" was so successful is not because the professional portrayal of Brian as an agent was recognized by the audience.
A scene in which he calls his daughter vividly portrays Brian's calmness.
He told his daughter that you will definitely be taken away. Leave the phone under the bed. Before you are taken away, you have a few seconds to describe his appearance and physical characteristics as much as possible.
Not many people can achieve this level of composure.
Now these wonderful clips are still retained, coupled with the classic CAR shooting technology and Mozambique shooting method, Zhang Chen does not believe that "Hurricane Rescue" will not be popular.
Maybe after it is released, it will set off a trend like "The Bourne Supremacy".
"Of course there is no problem with visiting, but this is live ammunition shooting. Everyone must obey my orders and don't walk around randomly..."
Irving emphasized the safety issue and led everyone Enter the three-gun competition venue.
There were not many people in the venue, about seven or eight people, all of whom seemed to be coaches from Irving.
There are three people in the competition, and the first person has already finished the competition. The gunshots they heard just now belonged to the first person.
Now the second man is gaining momentum.
Irving led everyone to the safe area to watch the game. There were several other spectators in the safe area.
"It's Vincent. Vincent is our three-gun master here..."
Irving gave a brief introduction while Zhang Chen and Liang Jiahui watched with interest.
Especially Liang Jiahui, Zhang Chen told him before that the three guns he needs to focus on practicing are three guns. Here, he can observe the real three gun competition at close range. He can't wait to find a camera to record it and go back to provide him with it. Take your time to figure it out.
