Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 223 What is this version of Taken about? (2)

Over there, Ruian taught carefully, and the group said they remembered it one by one. Then they started to practice the moves. The moves were all done in slow motion, but the amplitude and position of each movement were emphasized in detail.

The few of them rehearsed a few more times and when they felt it was ready to shoot, they notified the director.

After an 'action' sound, the shooting begins.

Action scenes are usually shot in slow motion, with the actors moving slowly so that mistakes are less likely to occur. When it can be played back, it is switched to fast motion so that the speed becomes normal. Korean action movies are basically shot in this way. "The Yellow Sea", "Underworld", "Criminal Metropolis" and the like are almost all shot in this mode.

After shooting several times, I finally passed it, but this was just an appetizer, the real climax was yet to come.

Brian caught Mark and was about to leave, but when he came out he found himself ambushed by the police.

His former colleague guessed that Brian would come to find Mark, and deployed a large number of manpower here.

Brian was ambushed. Here Zhang Chen was preparing to transplant the most classic street fighting scene from "The Hitman's Bodyguard".

Not long after the van drove out, it was surrounded and fired upon.

At the critical moment, Ali appeared and helped him delay the police.

Brian drove away, and the police and the French anti-terrorist force GIGN chased him. Ali supported him and caused trouble for the police from time to time.

Here Zhang Chen plans to transplant the car chase scene from "Extraction", including the classic long shot after entering the slums, all of which are arranged.

This is the first climax of the film. I believe this part will directly make the audience excited.

The main character is reluctant to go to the toilet even when he has to pee, and blinking would be a loss.

The car chase scenes were difficult to shoot, as we had to install fixtures on the car and so on.

When taking pictures of the cab, you have to install it on the front of the car.

To take a picture of the wheel, you have to install it on the side of the car.

It often takes half an hour to prepare for a shot of just a few seconds.

It took Zhang Chen two full days to shoot just this car chase scene.

The car chase scene is tense enough, and the street fighting scene in the slums is even more tense, showing the cruelty of street fighting vividly.

There is a very famous long shot in this scene.

It is very difficult to shoot long shots, and it is generally recognized that the scheduling requirements are very high.

Especially this kind of long moving shot.

I believe that after people see this long shot, no one will dare to talk to Zhang Chen anymore.

The long shot of Du Dapao in "Big Event" was praised to the sky, but compared with this, it is simply weak and can only kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer".

Some people later analyzed that the long shot in "Taken" was actually a fake long shot.

Although it looks like a one-shot shot, the film was actually spliced ​​together using editing.

But Zhang Chen never thought that there was anything to brag about in showing off his skills. No matter whether it was a pseudo-long shot or a real long shot, as long as the shot looked good, it was enough.

He was prepared to do so this time.

But when it came to shooting, I found that even with a pseudo-telephoto lens, it was not that easy to shoot.

Calculations with millisecond accuracy are required.

To this end, Zhang Chen and the photography team designed a complete set of plans, which required countless simulations.

Because it was a gunfight scene, the actors all had blood bags on their bodies, but the blood bags did not explode during the simulation.

Zhang Chen simulated over and over again, and sweat gradually appeared on Liang Jiahui's forehead.

He had simulated this one long shot seventeen times, and the other actors had also cooperated with him seventeen times.

Problems are always discovered during each simulation and corrected.

As the simulation progressed, the problems became fewer and fewer, and finally, the photographer said, "I think it's time to shoot~"

The cameramen are masters specially invited from Hollywood, the photography team of "The Lord of the Rings".

A few years ago, Johnnie To wanted to shoot a long shot and invited them.

But after they arrived and studied it for three days, they found that they could not complete it and left again.

Zhang Chen invited them again this time. They found that the long shot this time looked better but was much easier to shoot, so they agreed.

"Action~~" The shooting began. Every actor appeared in the camera at the most appropriate time under the command of the general director. When the camera moved away, the places that the camera could not capture were changing rapidly.

Props were moved, people moved, new actors took their places...

Snap, snap, snap~~
Gunshots rang out one after another, and Liang Jiahui in the camera moved forward quickly, his eyes and movements were impeccable.

In front of him, the enemies fell one after another, and then disappeared from the screen as the camera moved forward.

Zhang Chen had been watching the monitor nervously. After the last shot, he decisively shouted "Click~~"

"Success, we succeeded~"

Zhang Chen excitedly hugged the cameraman team, and the cast and crew also hugged each other excitedly.

"A classic long shot was born under our operation, and it is destined to be included in film history..."

Liang Jiahui was also very excited. Due to repeated rehearsals, he was already sweating inside his clothes.

But his spirit was extremely excited.

In this long shot, I killed at least a dozen enemies by myself, and the camera kept following his footsteps, simulating the first-person perspective.

Fortunately, I was well prepared in advance.

"Director Zhang, this shot was so cool..." Liang Jiahui said while wiping his sweat as he took the towel.

After so many years of acting, this is the first time I have shot a scene like this.

The performance was done in one go, giving the impression of being in a drama.

Everyone gathered in front of the playback device, Liang Jiahui kept chattering to himself: "It's really enjoyable, too enjoyable..."

Of course it’s enjoyable.

Normally when actors in movies or TV series are acting, they shoot one shot at a time.

Just one action may have to be performed multiple times because of the different shooting angles.

It's definitely emotionally disconnected.

This is why actors like to perform in dramas.

Because there is no cut in a drama, it must be done in one go.

The performances and mood are consistent and not interrupted at all.

Although it is the most difficult, it is also the most enjoyable to perform.

Unlike in movies, as soon as the emotions start to build up, the director says "cut" and the scene has to start over again.

“I believe that this shot will become a classic after the movie is released.”

The plot continues to develop. Brian takes Mark to a remote place and begins to torture him. In the end, he learns that girls with better quality will be sent to Loli Island.

That’s right, it’s Loli Island.

Keep up with current events!
If America can have a Lolita Island, why can’t Gaul have one?

According to the information, America's Lolita Island should have just started business. I hope some smart people can discover something in advance.

(Thank you book friends for the ideas)

Brian sneaked into his former colleague's house, and for the safety of his daughter, he did not hesitate to hurt his former colleague's wife who had just warmly entertained him. Under coercion, the former colleague finally revealed the location of the Loli Island.

The battle on Loli Island is the last scene of the film and also the most intense one.

There are a large number of security personnel on Loli Island, and the wealthy people who come here also bring a large number of security personnel. With the help of Ali, Brian bravely entered the tiger's den, killed a lot of people, and finally rescued his daughter.

The former colleague who was tied up finally broke free and notified people to go to Loli Island to arrest people, but all they found were corpses all over the ground.

At this point, the video ends.

Well, it's very exciting. I feel excited just by reading the script.

Originally, Zhang Chen was planning to have the character of Ali just show up briefly in this film, but because of Zhang Jin's stance that night, he decided to give Zhang Jin more scenes.

So the little extra who originally just showed up became Brian's assistant, the second male lead, and a lot of words were used to describe him in the battle.

This made Zhang Jin very happy.
