Chapter 222 What is this version of "Hurricane Rescue" about (1)
In Zhang Chen's version of "Hurricane Rescue", Zhang Chen retained the overall framework of the story, but he felt that the middle part was not exciting enough and could not be done well. Modify less.
After all, the awesomeness has been blown out. If you want to teach Director Wu, who has returned from Hollywood, to make a spy movie, you will definitely not be able to do it if the filming is bad.
Not even if the photo is not stunning enough.
So Zhang Chen came up with a lot of useful information. He planned to soften the classic features of several classic films in his memory and stuff them all into this "Hurricane Rescue".
The first is bare-handed fighting, and the shots must be ruthless. This should be no problem with ‘Mad Dog’ Ruian.
Then the battle with a gun is completely copied from "John Wick", allowing the audience to experience the charm of the Mozambique shooting method and the CAR gun combat system.
Zhang Chen’s version of "Hurricane Rescue" = "Shocking Rescue" + "John Wick" + "Ace Bodyguard"
In this drama, Zhang Chen arranged a total of four fierce fights scene.
The first place is the construction site.
Brian pretended to be a prostitute, attracted the gangsters, then installed bugs and followed them to the construction site.
This is a den of a human trafficking group, where many girls are imprisoned.
Brian was looking for his daughter's whereabouts here. During the search, he found his daughter's coat. He learned that the girl in front of him was related to his daughter, and decided to save her and leave.
Zhang Chen felt that the original version was a bit low, the battle scenes were not professional at all, and the action was not exciting.
So he made a lot of changes.
The first is the action scene without weapons.
The action must be fast, ruthless, and show the difference between agents and ordinary gangsters.
"The Bourne Supremacy" is the best textbook. The characteristic of Jason Bourne's movements in the movie is that he is fast. It is not a traditional turn-based system at all. The previous move has not been used up, and the latter move has already followed. On.
The other thing is that you have weapons at your fingertips.
A magazine, a pen, a book, a towel, anything at hand can be used as a murderous weapon. There is a saying in China that can be summed up well: vegetation, trees, bamboo, and rocks can hurt people.
Luian did not disappoint and came up with three plans in a row. The fighting master really lived up to his reputation. Zhang Chen was very satisfied with his action design.
After easily defeating a few people in front of me and obtaining weapons, it became a weapons duel.
In the original version, the protagonist actually had to pretend to be dead and hide under the corpse to make a sneak attack. It was a bit low-key and unprofessional.
The protagonist of Zhang Chen's "Hurricane Rescue" must be the big killer.
The Mozambican shooting method of two gun heads and one gun in the torso is his signature.
This is where Taran Butler excels.
Shoot, quickly reload, use the enemy's body as a cover, grab the weapon, shoot again...
Talan has designed every action to be professional at the same time. And beauty, this was Zhang Chen's only request for him.
In order to make quick reloading look more aesthetic, Taran specifically increased the weight of the bottom of the magazine. In this way, Liang Jiahui only needs to press the magazine switch and throw the gun at the same time when reloading, and the magazine will be released. Fly out automatically by gravity.
“Oh ho~, great, this action is so cool...”
Everyone who saw this action exclaimed, they had never seen such a handsome reloading action.
Talan’s fat face was filled with a proud smile, and the expression seemed to say, today I finally saw my strength, grandpa, please praise me, praise me...
“That’s great, Taran, you are a genius~”
Zhang Chen was generous with his praise and sent baskets after baskets of free compliments, which made Taran’s chin almost lift. Gone to heaven. Alas, sometimes I have to say that foreigners are just naive...
The first scene is just the appetizer. From the setting point of view, the second scene is the climax.
In the second scene, Brian disguised himself as a policeman and came to Mark's lair. Of course, Brian here must be disguised, otherwise an Asian would be too easily aroused.
Brian used a clever trick to identify Mark by his voice.
Then the war begins.
There was also no gun at the beginning, and the gun was taken away when entering the door.
Ruian needed to design a set of actions to quickly subdue the few people in the small dining room, and then use the captured weapons to kill the coming men.
The foreign actors hired by the crew are all in place now. Jason Stans is sitting among them. He is the boss Mark.
"After a while, Liang Jiahui will show Jason a small piece of paper with 'good luck to you' written on it. Jason reads 'good luck to you' in English. Liang Jiahui recognizes that he is the person on the phone. That guy. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Zhang Chen briefly explained the plot and then prepared to start filming.
The machine is turned on, the scene notes are written, and various departments prepare...
Compared to the action scenes that will be shot later, the filming of this kind of literary drama is really very simple. As long as the emotions and expressions are there, there is basically no big problem.
But the filming of the martial arts scenes later became more complicated.
We usually watch an action fighting movie for just a few minutes, but the behind-the-scenes filming may take several days.
Take the next fight as an example. The prop team has prepared several sets of tables, chairs and benches. In a fight, the chance of damage is too high.
If the shooting does not go well and there are not enough tables and chairs, it is because the props delay the shooting progress and it is the props' fault
If the shooting goes well but there are too many tables and chairs, it is a waste of budget and it is also the props' fault.
Props: It’s so difficult for me~~
“Later, Liang Jiahui said, ‘Don’t you remember me? We talked on the phone two days ago, and I told you that I would find you... '"
"When Liang Jiahui said this, you finally felt that something was wrong. If you want to pull out a gun, Liang Jiahui will press your head on the plate...
The person opposite picked up the knife on the table and stabbed Liang Jiahui. He blocked it with the plate on the table, then smashed the plate on the other person's head with his backhand. Taking advantage of the moment of stiffness, he then held the joint behind his back and smashed the knife-holding part. A hand was inserted into the throat of the knife wielder backwards..."
This time it was Ruian's turn to tell the drama, explaining in detail the essentials of the movements he designed and to several people one by one.
" At this time, you lift the table, use as much force as you can, and then rush towards Liang Jiahui, but Liang first pulls out the table knife from the man and plunges it into your chest.
At this time, be careful. Don’t stop Liang’s movements. Remember, your goal is to kill the target, not to enjoy the pleasure, let alone risk harsh words. "
What Lu Yian said was specifically explained by Zhang Chen. In his previous life, when he watched movies, the most annoying part was that kind of plot.
To sum it up, the villain dies because he talks too much.
The ending of the original version of "Taken" is also a highlight. Facing the rich man who kidnapped his daughter, Brian shot and killed him without any nonsense.
It gives people a ridiculous feeling. The big boss behind the scenes was killed with just one shot?
Shouldn't it be a lot of chattering, followed by a wonderful hand-to-hand fight? How could it be over with a clean shot?
It gives people a feeling of anticlimax.
But it is precisely this setting that gives people a sense of reality.
That’s right, who said the finale must have a climax? Normally, wouldn’t it be done in one shot?
