Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 209: Starting from Climbing the Plane with Bare Hands

Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado.

The crew of "King of Spy Wars" is busy preparing for the work before filming.

After waiting for more than ten days, the air force base was finally officially opened to the crew, and the crew was given ten precious days to shoot and complete these related scenes.

At this time, Director Cohen was holding the shooting minutes and confirming the shooting precautions of this scene with Lin Yuan one by one.

When filming action scenes involving significant danger, someone else is needed to help the actors strengthen their impression in this way.

"Please note that the main wings of the C17 transport aircraft are tilted up on both sides. Therefore, your jump landing point should be farther away."

"it is good!"

"If you lose your footing after the jump, you must remember to only roll toward the rear of the aircraft, never forward. Otherwise, you might be sucked into the aircraft's engine."

"understood."

"Squat down near the door, preferably 30 centimeters depending on your height. This is the best position to avoid the airflow."

"Know!"

"Although the holes for gripping the cabin door are all anti-slip, the second and fourth holes from the bottom are the most reasonable grip points for your palm."

"I remembered!"

……

Each shooting precaution may seem insignificant, but it is related to the success or failure of the shooting of this action scene, and even determines the life or death of Lin Yuan.

Director Cohen patiently explained the precautions. This was originally Meng Tao's job, but today he did it on his behalf.

Lin Yuan also carefully confirmed each item.

Every time he filmed an action scene in the past, he seemed to be very reckless, as if he just relied on his physical fitness and master-level skills to get through it, but in fact the process was far from that simple.

A thrilling action scene often requires the full cooperation of all crew members to complete. Otherwise, what is the point of an action director? What are the crew members?
Lin Yuan can handle it alone.

But in reality it is definitely not that simple.

For example, in today's scene, Lin Yuan needed to coordinate every detail of the action with the crew members:
When did the C17 transport plane taxi onto the runway?
What is the appropriate speed when taxiing on the runway? Which route should I take?

When did Lin Yuan start turning after jumping to the top of the plane?
How to adjust the flight attitude during takeoff to cooperate with Lin Yuan?
These are still relatively large matters of concern, and there are too many smaller ones to list.

To give a small example, Director Cohen had already done several bird-scare operations near the airport this morning.

Otherwise, an accidental bird strike may result in fatal danger.

"You're almost ready. You should put on your windproof contact lenses," Director Cohen reminded.

"Well, it's really uncomfortable to have this thing stuck in my eyes." Lin Yuan complained, but his hands did not stop.

He inserted specially made windproof contact lenses into his eyes.

When the plane takes off, the huge airflow will make it impossible for him to open his eyes.

This was definitely not an option, so the crew members specially customized a pair of polymer contact lenses for him to protect him from opening his eyes in strong winds.

Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei, who was standing by, hugged each other gently, and then came to the top of a small mound next to the airport runway.

In a moment a C17 transport aircraft will pass by the runway below.

And he will jump from above and land on the wing of the plane.

"All departments are ready and in place, and filming is about to begin."

The director's instructions came through the headphones.

Lin Yuan did a few knee-hugging jumps to exercise his knees and ankles again.

"Action!" The shooting officially begins!
The camera first showed a green lawn next to the airport runway.

Depp, wearing camouflage clothes, hid in the grass.

He raised the binoculars in his hand and looked at the silver-gray C17 transport plane at the airport.

If you look closely, you can also find that the telescope's lens is wrapped with a grid-like cloth strip, which is used to prevent reflection and exposure, and is mainly professional.

"It's a really big thing, 53 meters long, 16 meters high, and has a maximum take-off weight of 285 tons," Depp exclaimed.

"Stop expressing such meaningless emotions. Can you control it?" Liu Yufei, who was in the support base, spoke to him remotely.

"I just tried to remotely control its electronic system, but unfortunately failed," Depp replied.

At this time, the plane's engine started.

The huge turbojet engine sucks in a large amount of airflow, making a huge roar.

"They started the engine and are about to take off!" Liu Yufei's anxious voice came from the headset.

"I know! I know! Damn, the mechanical control system is also locked." Depp operated the computer screen in his hand.

"What about the hydraulic system?" Liu Yufei continued to ask.

"No! It's still out of control!" Depp felt like he was going crazy. Every road was perfectly blocked.

"If we don't fix it, the plane will take off!"

"what can I do!?"

At this time, Lin Yuan's voice came from the call channel:
"Can you open the door of the plane?"

"That should be okay, right?" Depp said with a guilty tone.

"When I give you the signal, open the hatch!"

Lin Yuan roared and started running faster.

He jumped from the top of the hill with all his might, like a big bird with its wings spread, drew a perfect arc, and landed steadily on the left wing of the C17 transport plane.

"Boom!"

As the sound of the plane landing, Lin Yuan immediately lowered his center of gravity and lay on the wing.

The next moment, Lin Yuan regained his balance and began to crouch down, jogging along the top of the wing and heading straight for the cabin door at the rear side of the plane.

Lin Yuan's movements are so deft and agile that one can't help but think of a cheetah hunting.

"His ability to maintain balance during exercise is getting stronger and stronger. Compared to before, it's a world of difference." Director Cohen couldn't help but sigh.

The first action scene he and Lin Yuan collaborated on was the scene in "The Fast and the Furious" where the bikers jumped out of the car.

It was the same leap, but the difference between then and now is really visible to the naked eye.

If we say that Lin Yuan was still a bit immature at that time, he completed the difficult action scenes mainly by daring to fight and fight, which made people nervous.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was doing similar actions, but he gave people the feeling of being as steady as a rock, absolutely solid and assured.

Lin Yuan slid down from the wing quickly and landed accurately outside the cabin door.

He stood above the landing gear hub, holding the cabin door firmly with both hands.

"Open the door!" Lin Yuan yelled!

At this time, the huge airflow ejected from the aircraft engine disturbed the surroundings.

Lin Yuan felt that every strand of his hair was pulling back on his scalp frantically, causing him to feel waves of pain.
