Since the film crew's application to shoot an "explosion scene" was not approved by the Film Association and the local police department, the crew of "Saving Rachel, a Female Soldier" had no choice but to temporarily switch to filming other films or stop production.
But looking at the hundreds of people who had finally gathered together, standing trembling in the ice and snow, Yi Feiyang, as a director, really couldn't bear it.
Think about it, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to call Henry the Elephant to tell him about this. After all, the other party was an investor and a producer, and had the right to know the progress of the filming.
Unexpectedly, after Henry heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "You are a serious person, how do you know how to deal with those bastards? Just start filming immediately and leave this matter to me!"
It turns out that Top Film Company, owned by Henry the Elephant, used to shoot a lot of small movies, and from time to time it had to have small frictions with the Film Association and nearby fine arts agencies. After rubbing and rubbing, "sparks" were created. Henry the Elephant figured it out.
If you know the temperament of these guys and throw out a lot of money, you can get it done in no time.
After knowing the result, Yi Feiyang realized that he had really taken the wrong path. Originally, he didn't have to intervene in this matter at all. He could just let the scumbag Henry the Elephant deal with those bastards, but he still took care of everything.
After looking back and finishing the filming application, at noon, Yi Feiyang led a large team of actors to the pre-arranged location where the most spectacular war scene in the entire movie would be shot.
East of Los Angeles, there is a small town that is about to be demolished. Americans have always been very passionate about building prosperous towns. For this kind of dilapidated town that does not need protection and has no existing value and will only affect the appearance of the city, it will soon be demolished.
It was demolished so that the old appearance could be replaced with a new one so that people could see the government's achievements.
This town, which is about to be demolished, is in dilapidated condition, and many old places need to be blasted for urban construction.
For example, there is an old steel mill. The chimney high into the clouds will definitely affect the image and environment of the place. The U.S. urban construction department is preparing to demolish it, but they don’t need to take action now because the crew of Yi Feiyang has taken over the project.
Work.
The terrain around the entire town is complex, with woods and a small amount of hills. Yi Feiyang personally selected it, and the venue has already been laid out.
This first shot is the largest shot in the whole movie. The main content is to describe the fascist army entering this "town" and then starting to burn, kill and loot... Thanks to those anti-Japanese TV movies in his previous life, Yi Feiyang is very grateful for such a scene.
The footage is very familiar, almost turning the Nazis into Japanese ones, chasing hens into the village.
A very important scene in the script is when the Nazis encountered the resisting American soldiers, and then started a fierce gun battle. As the heroine, "Rachel" showed her power for the first time, using her skilled sharpshooting skills to kill those who were slapping their teeth.
The Nazi enemies were shot in the head one by one.
This scene is one of the keys to the entire movie, and of course Yi Feiyang pays special attention to it.
In addition to the actors recruited by Yi Feiyang himself, he also asked Rabbit Bill to dress up as an actor. He led the team and the extras to put on prepared costumes, holding fake guns made of wood, and stood in the demolition yard.
The town leader waited for his instructions, while Stormi, who played "Rachel", was fully armed and lurked behind a broken wall.
In the venue, Yi Feiyang showed off his power this time and had four cameras installed at once. The one he was responsible for was the main camera, which was located on the broken wall. The ground was paved with tracks and the camera was also added to the landing gear.
Amplitude movement. The one in charge of the main photographer is in the middle of the two armies, opposite the alley where the Nazis are about to rush out. The other two are in charge of two temporarily invited photographers and are arranged in the two armies.
, photograph individuals.
Time passed minute by minute.
Seeing that everything was ready, Yi Feiyang waved his hand and started counting down.
"Get ready to start shooting!" Yi Feiyang gave the order as soon as the time came.
The whole town was silent as everyone performed their duties and moved according to the preparations set by Yi Feiyang.
The extras playing Nazis and those playing American soldiers rushed together, shouting.
The gasoline barrels buried in advance on the ground were quickly ignited, black smoke billowed out, and the whole town suddenly entered a turbulent era of war.
Under the attack of the Nazi army, the U.S. Army was gradually at a disadvantage and was about to retreat if it could not hold on any longer.
"Camera No. 1, get ready, start filming!"
Following Yi Feiyang's order, behind the broken wall on the opposite side, Stormi shot each enemy with headshots. Then, with her encouragement, the American troops rushed towards the Nazi army from the flanks, and the balance of the war suddenly tipped to the Nazis.
The American army was completely defeated. Rachel, played by Stormi, took the lead, followed closely by the team behind her. The Nazis were defeated and fled one after another.
The entire shooting took less than half an hour and was done.
After the shooting, everyone at Yi Feiyang gathered together to check the quality of the work. Rabbit Bill and others were amazed by Yi Feiyang's use of four cameras for one scene. It was the first time that he had controlled so many cameras, and he was able to handle them with ease.
, he is worthy of being praised as a "genius director"!
Yi Feiyang was secretly ashamed of the crowd's admiration and praise.
You must know that Yi Feiyang completely learned from Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" in this comprehensive shooting method using four cameras.
You must know that when shooting such a large-scale war scene, four cameras are used to shoot simultaneously, which can not only comprehensively display all aspects of the war, deeply depict the characters and the war situation at that time, but more importantly, save money to the maximum extent.
, so the effect of using four cameras for one war is better than shooting four wars with one camera. It is such a cheap and pleasing job, why doesn’t Yi Feiyang learn from Spielberg?
All in all, the filming went smoothly.
The next shot was the biggest explosion scene in the whole movie, which was to blow up the chimney high up in the clouds.
Before filming, Yi Feiyang had already studied with the blasters in charge of how to make the chimney collapse instantly and fill the air with smoke.
How much explosives are needed, where they need to be placed, and where the camera will have the best framing...
Now that everything is ready, it’s time to turn on the camera and start shooting.
Yi Feiyang was full of confidence and was about to give orders, but at this moment, Rabbit Bill stopped him and said: "It's not good, boss, look!"
Yi Feiyang looked in the direction pointed by Rabbit Bill, and saw... there was a person crawling on the chimney!
To be precise, there was a man standing on the ladder of the chimney high in the clouds, waving a bright American flag in his hand, and seemed to be shouting something.
I tried hard to listen, but it was: "****, give my factory justice!"
In an instant, Yi Feiyang was extremely depressed.
Damn it, your nanny, what the hell is going on?
I actually met the legendary "nail house"!
…
Yi Feiyang always thought that only China, which advertised harmony, would produce "nail households" as a by-product of demolition, but today he finally understood that as long as demolition existed, there would be rebels in both China and the United States!
What demolition?
On the surface it looks like replacing the old with the new, but in fact it makes the officials rich and the common people poor!
The United States, which originally boasted that it was a **** country, would be better, but now, Yi Feiyang discovered that the crows in the world were as black as black, no matter it was the United States or China.
The matter must be resolved. We cannot remain indifferent while watching this guy waving the American flag and crawling on it like "Spider-Man".
The crew can't solve this kind of problem, and they still need to call the nearby police station.
Not to mention, the efficiency of American Jingchao is very fast.
After receiving a call from the crew, within ten minutes, two fine cars arrived.
A big fat black man got off the car, took off his hat and scratched his head, then looked at the unlucky guy who was climbing on the chimney to be "Spider-Man" and said contemptuously: "He has only three minutes to shout."
Climb down, or we will arrest him for the crime of 'obstructing public affairs'!"
The American police were ruthless. They went up and knocked him down before he could get angry and shout "**" and "**".
Yi Feiyang was "impressed with admiration" and highly doubted whether these detectives were related to the real estate developers... They were too **** to help each other!
…
No matter what, Yi Feiyang still has to thank these American detectives. With their help, the guy who climbed the chimney and pretended to be Spider-Man was taken down, and the filming could finally proceed normally.
With the camera fully prepared.
Yi Feiyang gave the order, and the demolitionist pressed the button hard, and then saw the chimney collapse!
Yi Feiyang will probably never forget that spectacular scene in his life. Just like the damage caused by an earthquake or tsunami, the chimney from bottom to top is like a building block with broken layers, broken layer by layer, and in the smoke, it instantly became
A huge pile of ruins!
Seeing such a spectacular scene, Yi Feiyang was speechless for a long time.
Although he didn't quite understand what the previous rebel was saying, he somewhat understood his thoughts.
What you blew up was not an old chimney, but a piece of history!
Although, this period of history will be submerged by new history sooner or later!
…
The filming of the day was quite "smooth" under the auspices of Yi Feiyang. Yes, it can only be said to be "smooth" rather than "very smooth". The occasional grasshoppers that popped out had no impact on Yi Feiyang's enjoyment of this film.
The control of the play.
In the evening, Yi Feiyang was scheduled to attend this year's Lionsgate Film Festival celebration banquet, which was also a Christmas banquet. The evening shooting task was handed over to Rabbit Bill... Of course, Yi Feiyang was still not at ease about Rabbit Bill.
, so they transferred fat Jack Black from Fantasy Pictures to help him with the evening shooting.
Rabbit Bill has no objection to this. Anyway, there is no salary increase for this kind of appointment, so why not have one more person to help him?
With the help of Fat Jack, Yi Feiyang became more confident in filming Rabbit Bill, and he could devote himself wholeheartedly to the Lionsgate Banquet. (To be continued.)
