Chapter 403 'The Terminator' Starts Filming
After a period of study and understanding, Fox began to open the door to gun fighting.
"Long, I found that many movements in gun fighting have shadows of traditional Chinese martial arts."
"Indeed, that's why I let you practice martial arts. Whether it is traditional Chinese martial arts or modern fighting and fighting, it is not either/or, nor is anyone better than anyone else. There is no level of martial arts moves, people have strengths and weaknesses. And including
Martial arts, including martial arts, will develop and change from ancient times to the present."
"When there were no cold weapons, the ancients used their bare hands. With cold weapons, they developed martial arts moves with cold weapons. Now that we have hot weapons, why can't we develop martial arts moves with hot weapons?"
Whenever Wu Long is free, he comes to teach Fox the art of gun fighting. With his guidance, Fox learns faster and has a deeper understanding.
At the same time, Wu Long is also completing the post-production of "John Wick" as soon as possible. Once the post-production is completed, it will be sent to Lion Pictures for viewing.
Lion Pictures is full of expectations for this film, but also anxious. After waiting for so long and suffering, and finally seeing the finished film, the people at Lion Pictures are somewhat excited.
The investment is nothing, because the investment is not big. The most important thing is that it broke the unspoken rules. Merricken released "Kung Fu" and gave Wu Long a very low discount.
At the movie viewing party, everyone saw Wu Long's handsome, cool and dazzling gun fighting skills. The first part was a little dull and slow, but after he started taking revenge, it was fun all the way to the end.
After the film was shown, everyone at the screening applauded!
"This is the perfect combination of kung fu and guns!"
"That's great! Dragon, you can actually integrate guns into Chinese Kung Fu. I don't know how your brain imagined it."
“Cool shootout.”
"A gunfight movie I've never seen before."
Wu Long's kung fu is better than that of the starring actor in the original version, and the actions he performed are naturally better than those of the starring actor in the original version.
It is well-organized and the transition between movement and stillness is pleasing to the eye.
The lead actor in the original version didn't work hard, so the movements didn't look so masculine and a bit soft.
Wu Long's performance is different. He has practiced hard. His movements seem to have a sense of rhythm and rhythm. The action of holding the gun, the posture of walking with the gun, the reaction and performance after finding the target, all make people feel that he is a
A cold-blooded killer who has been immersed in the killer career for many years.
Combined with three-gun shooting, it can always give people a deep impression of "bang bang bang".
"Long, are there any premiere performances for "John Wick" when it comes out?"
"You can't shoot. Just posing is boring." Wu Long didn't want to pose with a prop gun.
"It doesn't have to be anything to do with John Wick, you can do a lion's roar."
"Some people on the Internet are imitating your lion's roar. It will be helpful for the video if you follow the hot spots."
"I'll think about it." Wu Long did not give a positive answer.
There are indeed many videos of lions roaring on the Internet, but of course they are not really able to roar, nor are they roaring at lions.
People online yell at their pets.
Yell at the dog to scare it.
Yelling at the cat, the cat glanced at him, his eyes clearly looking at the fool.
Facing chickens, facing ducks, facing cows, facing pigs...
All kinds of videos are hilarious.
This is also a "lion's roar" Internet trend set off by Wu Long.
After passing the film viewing meeting, waiting for the film to be scheduled for release. These matters were arranged by Lion Pictures, and Wu Long returned to China to start filming the new film.
This film is the second film released by Feihong Pictures through its own global film channel, after "Kung Fu".
"Kung Fu" was a box office hit in Southeast Asia and North America, which in turn promoted the development of Feihong Pictures' global film channels.
Wu Lung's movies are guaranteed to box office. The good results of "Kung Fu" prove that showing this movie can make money. Why don't theaters show it?
The reason why it is difficult to develop movie channels is that there is no guarantee that films sold to theater chains will make money. If an unknown film company promotes a film to a theater chain, and a well-known film company promotes a film, the theater chain will definitely have its own considerations.
Wu Long has been thinking about what to choose for his second movie.
It is impossible to make a movie with oriental color and culture like "Kung Fu" again. Unless there is something new, the audience will not buy it.
Wu Long once said to Xing Zhongfei, don’t use the modern and the past, use the future.
There has always been one important film genre, and that is science fiction films.
Movies and movie universes like the Avengers can be changed, and it is not a bad idea to change them to Eastern ones.
Wouldn't it be better to change the Heavenly Court and the Thirty-three Heavens to the universe? Change the gods to aliens, right?
All of these are fine.
The science fiction film Wu Long wanted to make was related to a program he used to do live broadcast.
At that time, he put on robot makeup and played the role of the robot T-800.
This time, he plans to make a Chinese version of "Terminator".
When filming "Terminator" in China, a big problem is the gun.
Domestic gun ban.
Let’s not talk about the issue of guns. Let’s first talk about how the Terminator found the heroine. In the original version, he found it from the telephone booth’s address book. This is simply impossible in modern times. Even in the era when there were telephone booths in the past, domestic telephone booths were
There won't be a directory for people to look up phone numbers.
Since the Terminator is a robot, then the computer must be very powerful. Go to the Internet cafe to hack into the system and search for a person named Zhao Li. After getting the list, kill them one by one.
In the original version, the male protagonist was demoted to the male supporting role, and T-800, played by Wu Long, was highlighted, and T-800 was promoted to the male protagonist.
After the script passed the review, filming began. The heroine was chosen Zhao Liying, and the character name was Zhao Li. The person who came back to protect Zhao Li was Li Si, played by Qi Ke.
When the filming of "Terminator" was announced, Wu Lung's fans were shocked.
Wu Long attracted a large number of fans when he live broadcasted the makeup robot. Some people once wrote novels because of this live broadcast.
At this time, someone on the Internet raised a soul question. If the content of "Terminator" is similar to those novels, will the author sue Wu Long for infringement or plagiarism?
Unexpectedly, this soul torture is really lively. Some people say that it doesn't count because those novels were written because of Wu Long's robot makeup. Wu Long can say that the authors infringed the copyright.
Some people say it has the final say, because the content of the novel is written by the author himself and is what the author thinks.
For a moment, it was true that the public was right and the mother-in-law was right.
Shi Lei was even more happy. Making science-fiction themed special effects made the man's blood boil even more than making special effects to start a fight.
What's more, our country's science fiction novels are very weak, let alone science fiction movies. There are also some famous science fiction novels, but they are only a minority. Wu Long's vigorous development of science fiction movies must also promote the development of domestic science fiction film and literary works.
It is said that some online writing platforms have started soliciting essays on science fiction-themed novels.
The production cost of the original "Terminator" was only US$6.4 million, which was not a big production. But even then, the global box office reached more than US$78 million, with a return on investment of more than 10!
Wu Long's current production cannot be as rough as the original version, but the production cost will not be too high.
For future battlefields, Wu Long still uses the method of models plus special effects instead of full special effects. Full special effects are too expensive. The future battlefield is a night scene and the details cannot be seen clearly, so full special effects are not necessary.
Regarding the selection of the filming location, people from Shanghai and Hainan contacted Wu Long through the people from Shanghai TV and tried to put the filming location in Shanghai.
Shanghai is the Shanghai of the world.
Well, it smells bad.
In the first scene, the Terminator arrives!
"What? Brother Long, you want Quan Guo to star!" Director Guo Hao was shocked.
The photographer was shocked!
The record is shocking!
The show manager was shocked!
The crew was shocked!
"It's not the whole story. There was a triangular piece of cloth in front to block it. Except for the photographer, other unrelated people cleared the place."
Some people can only walk away with regret.
Brother Long really dedicated himself, I get excited just thinking about it. But I can’t see the result, it’s so disappointing!
The people who were cleared out shouted in their hearts, Brother Long, I hate you!
Qi Ke is also quite resentful because the character Li Si he plays also has to appear in the movie.
The next day, the news that Wu Long appeared in the new film "Terminator" Quan Guo topped the list of hot searches.
"Long Ge Quan Guo appears on the scene, the new film is worth looking forward to".
Pan Duona called Wu Long and asked if it was true that Quan Guo appeared on the scene. She laughed after receiving the reply. She also sent Weibo a message saying that she deeply regretted not being able to be there and regretted not going to visit the group.
So, why does a science fiction film have a full fruit shot?
It’s worthy of everyone’s reflection and discussion.
There are discussions everywhere on the Internet about what the plot is.
What should I do if I can’t have a gun?
No gun, just hard work.
In the eyes of foreigners, everyone in this magical land of the East knows martial arts. In the design, there are three guests in the bar who are particularly good at martial arts. One knows the iron wire boxing, one knows the twelve-way tan kick, and the other knows the Wulang Bagua stick.
Of course, what he shouted was Wulang Bagua stick, and he used a wine bottle.
This is a joke.
On the dance floor of the bar, Wu Long talked about drama with Qi Ke and Zhao Liying.
"Li Ying, when you are stopped by me, you have to feel that the situation is not good. When I reach out to grab you, don't dodge. Pretend that you can't react. Then you are pulled back by Qi Ke and avoid my attack.
One catch."
Zhao Liying nodded to express her understanding.
"It's not over yet. I missed the target and punched you again. You were in a state of panic at this time, and it was Chico who pulled you to the side, so you escaped my punch."
"Zi Ke was knocked away by my punch and hit the sponge pad. Li Ying, you were also brought down and rolled out. At this time, the three people who just talked to you rushed over and stopped the Terminator who was walking towards Li Ying."
"Brothers in martial arts, please note that the Iron Wire Fist will first perform a few Iron Wire Fist moves in front of the terminator, and then the Twelve-Way Tan Kick will perform a few kick moves on the other side of the Terminator. Then the Iron Wire Fist will come first, with the Terminator standing
I ask you to fight, but if you can't fight, you will be punched away by the Terminator."
"Kick the Terminator from all directions. First kick the Terminator's feet, but he can't kick. Then kick the Terminator's chest, but he can't kick. Then kick the Terminator's head with a high whip kick. Remember not to deliberately close your feet.
Don't kick me in the ears or face, or kick my head above the ears." Wu Long pointed to his head.
"Because you kicked me in the head and I didn't move at all. You were so shocked that I punched you away."
"You come up to me with a wine bottle and shout Wulang Bagua stick. Hit me hard without holding back. Then I will grab the bottle and punch you away."
After the site was renovated, it was not really a floor, but a foam board.
While the Terminator is beating up three brave young men, Qi Ke, pull Li Ying away.
After practicing the movements of the set, it will be a smooth process when shooting.
Because no gun was used, Wu Long changed the original plot in order to increase the thrill of the film. In the subsequent escape and chase scene, Wu Long designed the Terminator to chase him out of the bar. He saw Li Si dragging the taxi driver out of the taxi and driving him
Zhao Li escaped.
The Terminator saw someone coming on a motorcycle. When he slowed down, he was pushed off the motorcycle by the Terminator. He snatched the motorcycle and chased Li Si and Zhao Li.
During the chase, Li Si knocked over the motorcycle with his car.
The Terminator got up and ran to catch up, just as a truck was coming. The Terminator grabbed the chassis of the truck, climbed on top of the truck, and used the truck to catch up.
Li Si drove down the overpass, and the Terminator jumped out of the truck, jumped off the overpass again, and landed on the hood of the taxi.
He also broke the front windshield of the taxi with his bare hands in an attempt to kill Zhao Li.
Zhao Li was caught in her clothes, and Li Si asked Zhao Li to take off her clothes. Zhao Li didn't take off her clothes, so she found a pair of scissors and stabbed the Terminator's hand with the scissors. Unfortunately, the Terminator didn't let go, so Zhao Li had to use scissors to cut off a piece of her chest.
cloth.
Li Si passed the intersection and saw a car parked on the side of the road. He made a sharp turn and braked, causing the car to hit the car on the side of the road, throwing the Terminator out.
A police car came, and the Terminator rushed out to stop the car, but was hit by the car. The police got out of the car to check and was knocked away. The Terminator grabbed the police car and chased Li Si's taxi.
Li Si drove the taxi to the parking lot, got off the car, and grabbed another car. He was discovered by the Terminator who arrived just in time. It turned out that the Terminator arrived at the location of the taxi that received the surveillance notification from the police car.
Another car chase takes place.
A car could not enter an alley under normal circumstances. When Li Si turned, the car stood on its side, with its two upright wheels running on the wall.
The Terminator also used the same moves to catch up.
After exiting the alley, the two parties collided with their cars. Li Si could not get away. At a T-intersection, Li Si accelerated forward without braking.
The Terminator behind also accelerated and chased after him. Li Si braked suddenly and drifted, and the car stopped beside the wall. The Terminator's car did not brake quickly and hit the wall directly, knocking it down.
The police chased and blocked the way. Zhao Li asked Li Si not to resist, but Li Si finally surrendered and was arrested.
The police didn't find the Terminator either.
Car chase scenes are the most difficult to shoot, whether it's the Terminator chasing on a motorcycle or a police car chasing behind.
Wu Long plays the Terminator, and he does not need to use a stand-in. Even when he was hit by a motorcycle and fell down, and the person slipped on the ground for more than ten meters, he acted it himself.
Wear good protection and pay attention to protection. With his skills, he can act more easily than a double.
Like jumping from an overpass to the hood of a taxi, Wu Long also performed the action himself. However, this action was not really a direct jump. It was shot separately and edited together through special effects.
Build an overpass in the studio, and only build the part that is captured in the camera. The height is the same as the real overpass, and underneath is a taxi shape made of green screen sponge pads.
It was also a green screen background, and we shot a taxi approaching, Wu Long jumped from a height slightly higher than the top of the taxi, and landed on the hood of the taxi.
Post-production special effects editing makes it look like he really jumped from an overpass.
In fact, there is no need to go to such trouble, just shoot Wu Long jumping from an overpass with a real car, and he can accurately land on the hood of the taxi.
But even if this is successful, it will easily make people feel weird. There are ways to produce special effects, so why do you have to take such risks?
If it does not fall on the hood or in front of the car, you may be hit by the car and injured.
After Zhao Li and Li Si are at the police station, there will be guns behind them.
The Terminator kills people, seizes guns, and goes on a killing spree.
Later, the Terminator was burned into a metal skeleton by fire. This moving metal skeleton used dynamic capture of Wu Long's walking and action postures to give it a CG metal skeleton, so that it still has a human feel when walking.
However, for close-ups or close-up shots, we still use a model of the same scale. This can capture a lot of details and make the audience feel more real.
It's easy to see if the details of pure CG are not done well. If you want to do it well, it takes money and time.
Chapter completed!
