389 Black Technology in the Mission: Impossible World
On the morning of November 2nd, the crew of "Mission: Impossible 2" in Hollywood.
Yesterday, Jiang Yan arrived in the United States and asked about the "Kill Bill" studio. He accidentally heard that the studio he rented later was currently filming "Mission: Impossible 2".
Jiang Yan naturally knows this movie, starring Tom Cruise and directed by John Woo.
What interests Jiang Yan the most are the various spy props in this film.
He didn't know if those props could bring reality, but he had to give it a try anyway, what if it worked?
So if you decide to take half a day to come over, if you have a chance, you will do a group performance.
Half an hour later, outside a studio in Hollywood.
"Hello, Director Wu." Jiang Yan greeted the little man in front of him politely.
This man is John Woo, Wu Baige, the future director of the two major bad movies "Red Cliff" and "The Wheel". Of course, he is now considered the number one Chinese director in Hollywood.
The reason why I say this is because everything in Hollywood depends on the box office performance. Wu Baige's previous two works "Broken Arrow" and "Face/Off" have achieved impressive results, plus the "Mission: Impossible 2" currently being filmed
, will win the annual box office championship next year, and his status will be further solidified by then.
So it’s definitely right to be polite to such a great leader.
"Hello, Jiang Yan, welcome."
Naturally, Wu Baige also knew about Jiang Yan.
The screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs" is a very talented young man. In addition to this, it is said that he is also good at singing.
Wu Baige doesn't pay much attention to the Chinese music scene, but when he came to Laos to film "Mission: Impossible 2" in April this year, it happened to be when Jiang Yan started to become popular in the Lao-American pop music scene. There were not many Chinese in Hollywood, and there were not many Chinese in Hollywood.
Not to mention the old and American pop music scene, so he was even more impressed by Jiang Yan.
This is a young man with a bright future!
In addition, it is said that he still has great energy in the mainland.
So he thought he could get in touch with Jiang Yan when he had time.
As a result, before he could contact him, Jiang Yan approached him first.
However, when Jiang Yan said that he wanted to come to his crew to act as an extra, Wu Baige naturally would not simply think that his purpose was just this, so if there was anything else to say, let’s make arrangements first, and then wait for him to have enough fun before talking to him in detail.
Let’s talk. We are both filmmakers, and Jiang Yan has a lot of energy in the Mainland. Of course we can talk about cooperation.
Of course, the specific situation depends on the situation. After all, I am the number one Chinese director.
After the two briefly chatted, Jiang Yan was quickly assigned the status of a "passenger" because filming was about to begin.
As for Jiang Yan's arrival, everyone in the crew naturally saw it, but no one had much reaction to Jiang Yan himself.
Although Jiang Yan is a supernova in the European and American music circles, in fact, his fame in Hollywood is far from enough to make everyone look at him with suspicion.
In addition, he is of Chinese descent, so many people at the scene did not actually recognize him and thought he was just a Chinese actor arranged by the director.
Considering that the current shooting of "Mission: Impossible 2" is the passenger plane crash in the opening sequence, the scene is also inside the passenger plane.
Therefore, the director arranged for such a Chinese passenger, which seemed quite reasonable to everyone.
As for the passengers, there are black and white, and naturally there is yellow. Wu Baige is full of details!
However, the crew also knew Jiang Yan. At this time, the lead actor Tom Cruise, who was preparing to start filming on the set, was different from others. He recognized this person as Joey at a glance. He liked Joey's songs, although there were not many songs.
But every capital is very good.
Of course, he wouldn't go up to say hello. This guy is different. He is a small character. Who am I, a Hollywood superstar!
In addition, Joey seemed to be very dedicated and had no intention of disturbing the filming, so Tom Cruise and Jiang Yan looked at each other with smiles and nodded, and then got into work.
Speaking of which, the filming of "Mission: Impossible 2" was full of twists and turns. Because Tom's schedule was too tight, Wu Baige had to constantly adjust the original shooting plan. In this stop-and-go state,
The film was shot from April to December, and was finally completed and released worldwide in 2000.
So it’s easy to understand that it’s October now, but the scene of the plane crash at the beginning of the film was filmed.
The sky and the earth rotate.
Jiang Yan opened his eyes. He was in the office at this time. In half an hour, he would fly to Atlanta.
And that flight was the one hijacked by the villain.
Traveling to the world of "Mission: Impossible", not being a spy is like being in a brothel without spending money. Naturally, Jiang Yan would not be so uninterested.
So his current hidden identity is that of a CIA agent.
Naturally, he had no interest in getting on a plane with villains, so he immediately gave up his plan to fly.
Today, his biggest interest is in technology. This time, it is not about the serious technology of the future, but the black technology in "Mission: Impossible".
For example, the video-capable glasses and folding gum bombs in "Mission: Impossible 1", the gecko gloves and super contact lenses in "Mission: Impossible 4", the gait analyzer in "Mission: Impossible 5" and the "Mission: Impossible 2"
》Began to continuously update human skin masks and so on.
Many of these black technologies have actually been realized in the real world more than ten years later and are fully used in life. Their advanced level is even more advanced than what is shown in movies, such as face recognition.
But similarly, many things that appeared in the movie still cannot be done more than ten years later.
For example, the folding gum bomb in "Mission: Impossible 1", the human skin mask, etc.
But in general, Jiang Yan feels that the technology in "Mission: Impossible" is not fantasy technology like "Iron Man". He feels that it can be brought out. Of course, this needs to be verified.
one time.
So Jiang Yan also took this time to search for interesting props in his memory that could be taken out, and then quickly took out the existing agent props.
A pistol and some bullets. This is of some use. Take it.
An ultra-thin bulletproof vest is less than half a centimeter thick and very soft, just like a thickened T-shirt, but its bulletproof effect is similar to that of Class III armor. But obviously, this is a product in the movie world. How can it be in reality?
At least Jiang Yan has never heard of such a powerful bulletproof vest.
However, Jiang Yan still took it into the space, just in case it could be used.
A cyanide pill, this is a drug to kill yourself, take it, it can poison others in the future.
A pair of video glasses looked no different from ordinary glasses. They were so advanced that Jiang Yan accepted them.
Due to the work nature of my current identity, there is nothing else but these, and I have to apply for more props.
And now is the time of "Mission: Impossible 2", many things may not have appeared yet, so Jiang Yan is a little disappointed.
However, you still have to apply for things that can be applied for, such as human skin masks and voice-changing patches. Human skin masks are indistinguishable in movies. Although I don’t know if they can be obtained in reality, but in case they can
Woolen cloth?
If it was really possible, it would be fun in the real world.
So without any hesitation, Jiang Yan drove directly to the Denver branch.
Jiang Yan stated his request, but was rejected on the spot because he could not apply for such high-level equipment without sufficient reasons.
Jiang Yan nodded when he heard this. The indistinguishable equipment such as the human skin mask can indeed be regarded as high-end equipment. It is easy to understand that it cannot be applied for easily.
But the opposite is also true. With good reasons, not only human skin masks, but also other equipment are also requested.
Therefore, the reason is very important.
Fortunately, this is not a problem for Jiang Yan.
So he went back directly. Half a day later, he came to his superiors with a set of information:
"Boss, I discovered a shocking plan of China: the Red Bank Project!"
