Chapter 293: Ask Dom for help

 In the next few days, the shooting went smoothly.

The slum that Jack accompanied the director and the others to visit before turned out to be the sphere of influence of the Carlos gang, so the crew did not encounter any obstruction when filming there.

"I really envy them. They don't have to do anything, they just stand there and get US dollars into their account."

While chatting, Sonny pointed at several of Carlos' men in the distance and said with envy. Of course he knew that people earned their money not by doing anything, but by the reputation of the gang. He just couldn't help but complain.<

/p>

As the finale approaches, there are more and more battle scenes, and their work as firearms instructors has become even busier.

Not only do you have to manage a large number of firearms entering and exiting the warehouse, but you also have to design the positions and actions during combat.

In fact, the male and female leading actors don’t need to worry too much because they have been getting along for a long time and have received special training.

On the contrary, those extras who play the role of minions require a lot of energy to guide them.

David is a person who pursues perfection, and this is his first work to enter the Hollywood market, so it is inevitable that the requirements are relatively high.

Jack and others also tried their best.

This film not only has special meaning for Wendy and David, but also for 'Mockingbird'. It is their first film as firearms directors. If the film is a success after its release, they can follow suit.

Enjoy the sweetness.

So Jack and the others are very serious.

The filming in Tijuana has been going on for four days. The tavern scene has been filmed, and the crew is about to move to the slums to prepare for the big scene.

Frankly speaking, the big scene designed by David is still very visually impactful.

Jack inquired sideways and found out that although there is Jack Chen in this world, there is no "Police Story", so this scene is David's original creation.

No one has thought that a car can rush down the mountainside, or in a place like a slum. Once the film is released, this shot will definitely become one of the benchmarks in film and television.

David was very excited. The props, scenery, lighting, and stunts were all in place, the script was written, and the shooting began.

This kind of large-scale scene requires extremely high scheduling requirements, but it can be seen that David is very good at it.

The director took the walkie-talkie and gave an order, and the camera started working.

Halfway up the mountain, two cars rushed down the hillside one after the other, plunging into the slums, smashing through the wooden houses and overturning the iron houses, like two mudslides rushing through the slums.

Many people are full of curiosity about the shooting of big scenes. In the rear area where the camera cannot reach, there are densely packed people, including not only the crew, but also the aborigines of the slums.

It would be ideal to have such a big scene all at once, but it is usually impossible.

One of the two mudslides suddenly stopped halfway.

David looked at the figure that stopped suddenly in the distance and shouted "cut".

The director picked up the walkie-talkie and asked: "What happened just now? Why did the car stop halfway? Let the set crew go over and take a look."

He was very anxious. Every big scene was full of gold-eating monsters, vehicles, people, the damaged houses, and the resettlement of the indigenous people. These were all money.

Every second, the crew is spending money, and after the film went through the divestment crisis, the filming funds are very limited. Although Wendy has mortgaged her property, she is still very nervous.

Once all the money is spent and the filming of the movie is not completed, the only fate waiting for the movie is abortion, which is something no one wants to see.

"Director, the actor is injured and must be sent to the hospital immediately."

The news that came over the intercom was not good. Soon the ambulance arrived and the stuntman was loaded into the ambulance and taken away.

Director David frowned. This was already the second stunt man to be carried away, and two cars were damaged.

The difficulty of shooting this scene was beyond his imagination. They had made thorough preparations before shooting and thought of all possibilities, but during the actual shooting, various accidents would still occur.

"Director, the stunt team is on strike. The requirements for the stunt actors in this scene are too high. Not only must they have good driving skills, but they must also have a good understanding of the performance of the vehicle. More importantly, they must have the ability to drive on such complex terrain.

Experience."

The assistant director grimaced. After the stunt team lost two people, no one was willing to try it. They were here to make money, not to risk their lives.

"What happened?"

Wendy heard that something had happened and rushed over. This movie is now her entire net worth, so nothing can go wrong.

"No one in the stunt team wanted to shoot this shot. It's too dangerous."

At this time, Nelson, the leader of the stunt team, also came over. He was one of the two mudslides just now.

"This shot is too demanding and my people can't complete it."

Nelson said matter-of-factly. Seeing the injuries on his body, everyone else was speechless.

Nielsen is already a well-known stunt man, but he will still be injured when he performs in such a scene, so it is almost certain that others will suffer more serious injuries.

"I can barely handle it, but there is still one person missing. We need to find a master."

Seeing Nelson say this, Wendy already understood that this was no longer something that could be solved by adding more money.

He looked at the people present one by one. Everyone in the stunt team lowered their heads. No one could guarantee that they could complete this shot.

Wendy looked at Jack again, this was his last life-saving straw. After all, Jack had shown good driving skills in the previous car chase.

But Jack also shook his head. He asked himself that he couldn't shoot this scene. Just when Wendy was at a loss, Jack suddenly said: "I have a candidate, but I don't know if he is willing to come. I have to call first."

Call and ask."

"Okay, try to convince him, I can add more money."

Neither Wendy nor David wanted to give up. If they couldn't find someone, they would have to give up this shot, but then the movie would lose a lot of color.

Jack walked aside and made a phone call. The person he wanted to recommend was not Jack Chen, but Dom, who had cooperated with him in forcing the dirty bomb truck to stop.

Dom is the protagonist of "Fast and Furious" and a speedster. His best thing is speeding stunts. It shouldn't be difficult to complete this scene.

But the difficulty is how to find him. This guy is not a good person. He hides and seeks with the police every day. The reason why the FBI allowed him to take action before was because he happened to fall into the hands of the FBI.

Although the two had cooperated before, Jack did not have the contact information of the other party, so he could only contact Silver first and ask the FBI to help him find the person.

The call was quickly connected, Jack told his request, and Silver agreed to help inquire.

The FBI had previously promised Dom that as long as he cooperated and helped get Jack into the truck, his previous criminal record would be wiped off.

So now, Dom is a free man.
