Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood
Chapter 487: The Great Tang Dynasty Conquers Western Guests
Chapter 487: The Great Tang Dynasty Conquers Western Guests
After Chen Long finished his speech, Li Renjie, Meng Tao, Zhang Ziyu, and Gao Yuanyuan stepped forward one by one and briefly shared some of their experiences and feelings during the filming of the movie.
The content is mostly about the interesting or shocking things that happened during the filming process.
For example, Li Renjie shared his feelings about filming this movie, which may be the most expensive movie based on the purchasing power of the evaluation. The thousands of war horses really represent real expenses and investment, but the shock it brings is far beyond any other movie.
These sharing sessions served as a good prelude and warm-up, making the guests present eager to watch the film.
Seeing the emotions had reached this point, host Liu Yufei also announced at a very timely moment: "Now we enter the formal viewing session. After watching the movie, please criticize and correct the shortcomings of the film."
Amidst countless rounds of applause tonight, the lights in the hall went out.
The big screen on the stage lights up.
On the big black screen, a line of white regular script appeared: "The Heroic Song of Tang Dynasty".
The font is written in the "Yan style" of Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
"Yan style" is a type of regular script with a square and dense structure, light horizontal strokes and heavy vertical strokes, strong and round brush strokes, and a solemn and vigorous aura, which perfectly fits the artistic conception that "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty" wants to convey.
Along with the subtitles, majestic music and passionate drum beats sounded in the background, forming a magnificent war song.
Anyone who has some knowledge of Tang Dynasty culture and music will know that the background music at this time is "The Qin King's Battle Music", the founding war song of the Tang Dynasty, which carries the military soul of this country.
The music gradually fades away and the opening scene ends.
At this moment, a bottom-up perspective shot appears before the audience:
There were still drops of morning dew hanging on the green pasture, and a bright red sarlang flower poked out from the grass, swaying gently in the breeze.
A yellow butterfly fluttered over and landed on the red petals of the Sarlang flower, creating a quiet, peaceful and vibrant scene.
The green grass and red flowers, the blue sky and the white clouds make people feel relaxed and happy.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a snow-white horse hoof fell from the sky, stepped heavily on the sarlang flowers, and crushed the flowers into mud.
The camera moves upwards, and amid the rustling sound of metal armor, a group of elite cavalrymen from the Tang Dynasty appear before the audience.
The camera continues to move upwards, and the bird's-eye view shows the full picture of this cavalry:
There are about 400 people, all wearing armor, with an armor coverage rate of 100%.
The cavalry unit consisted of only 400 people, but the team was exceptionally long.
Because this is a top-level elite cavalry with three horses per person, a combination of marching horses, war horses, and baggage horses, this team is extremely expensive, but its combat effectiveness is quite amazing.
The camera continued to move back, showing that behind this cavalry unit, there was a supply wagon team that was dedicated to transporting fodder, arrows, food and other supplies.
As the entire cavalry unit marched, no one spoke, only the sound of horse hooves and the friction of armor.
The soldiers all looked serious and alert, ready for the coming battle at any time.
Seeing this scene, the audience was immediately conquered and began to discuss:
"Just based on this opening scene, the quality of the entire film couldn't be worse! The opening 'Yan-style' title, paired with 'Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue', is a stroke of genius.
The transition of the first shot from lush pasture and sarlang flowers to a group of iron-blooded cavalry is incredibly smooth.
This camera movement is absolutely masterful. I want to say Director Nolan is amazing!"
"It's not just the camerawork; the detail and texture of the film are incredible! Whether it's the texture of the Tang army soldiers' armor and weapons, or the detailed grasp of the three horses, it all demonstrates the excellence and care put into the production. It's truly a big-budget production! It's obvious that every penny was spent wisely!"
"This film is incredible. The director didn't even need to use clumsy supporting characters and dialogue to brag about how powerful this unit is. Just by looking at the images, everyone knows that this is an absolutely iron-blooded and powerful army."
"Of course, this film is a rigorous historical restoration. The Tang army's equipment is truly magnificent. No wonder they were able to subjugate the world and earn the title 'Heavenly Khan'! With countless such elite soldiers, how could the Tang Dynasty not be subdued?"
Amid the audience's discussion, the big screen continued to move upward, and the winding Mozhgrad River appeared in front of all the audience.
The river is like a blue ribbon made of gems, inlaid on the endless green prairie.
This scene immediately made the audience exclaim:
"Oh my god! It's so beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful grassland in the world?"
"I've been to the Pampas in Argentina. The Western world has always promoted it as the most beautiful grassland in the world, but it's nothing compared to this grassland! Where is this? I want to go there and take a look."
"Hulunbuir Grassland is the most beautiful grassland in the world and is worth a visit."
"Lin Yuan's film is truly an excellent promotional film for Chinese tourist attractions. While earning box office revenue, it also manages to monetize its content through 'advertising,' yet people still love watching it. I really admire him for being able to do this."
At this moment, the camera on the big screen cut to the faces of Lin Yuan and Meng Tao.
The two began to talk.
Through the conversation between the two, the audience understood the plot:
That is, Lin Yuan was ostracized and framed by his superiors, who sent him out of the border to carry out a very dangerous military mission. There is a high probability that he will encounter enemies whose number far exceeds his own.
But are Lin Yuan and his soldiers afraid?
Of course not! The more enemies the better!
The enemies gathered together, saving them the trouble of searching everywhere.
The dialogue also shows their purpose of killing the enemy: to eliminate these bandits who burn, kill and loot, and protect the safety of the border residents of Hedong Town.
Just a few lines of dialogue showed the bravery, heroism and fearlessness of sacrifice of the Tang army soldiers led by Lin Yuan.
When Meng Tao said the famous line from Hedong Town: "You are already 30 years old, why haven't you died yet? You must be a coward, right?"
All the audience present were infected by the heroism of the Tang army:
"They are ashamed to live to 30. How brave and fearless must they have been when fighting on the battlefield?"
"So handsome! Seeing them makes me understand the saying 'A good man should join the army, fearless of life or death'! This is the exciting and inspiring life a man should choose!"
"This is the military spirit of the Tang Dynasty, passed down from the heroes of Wuchuan to the King of Qin breaking through the enemy lines, and has been passed down to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Without these passionate men who expanded our territory and defended the four corners of the world, our nation would never have the best and largest territory in East Asia. We pay tribute to these heroes who came before us!"
As the plot progresses on the big screen, the movie reaches its first climax less than 5 minutes into its opening: the grassland battle.
The cavalry led by Lin Yuan was on the uphill slope, with only 400 people.
The Turkic cavalry was located at the bottom of the slope, with a total number of 4000, ten times the number of the Tang army.
Faced with an enemy ten times larger than himself, Lin Yuan did not flinch and decisively chose to fight.
A world-shaking war broke out. (See Chapter 420 for details)
A series of exciting battle scenes came one after another, and the audience saw:
Before the battle, the Tang army, wearing horse armor, and the 200 armored cavalrymen who served as the backbone of the army exchanged arrows with the Turkic cavalry.
The Tang army completely crushed the Turks in terms of weapons and equipment. After several rounds of arrow rain, the Turkish cavalry was shot and screamed, suffering heavy losses.
Therefore, the Turkic cavalry could only rely on their numerical advantage to push forward and wear down the Tang army.
Facing the enemies swarming in, Lin Yuan decisively blew the charge horn.
200 heavily armored cavalrymen rushed down the hillside with irresistible momentum and charged straight into the enemy formation.
When Lin Yuan took the lead and rushed to the front, he slashed with a fierce knife.
"Pfft!"
With the sound of rags tearing, a Turkic leader in front of him was split in half, along with his horse.
Red blood splashed out and poured onto Lin Yuan's black armor.
Lin Yuan, dressed in red and black, looks like a devil from hell, and is frightening to the very sight of him.
Seeing this, the audience applauded and shouted:
"So cool! This scene made me understand the true meaning of the heroic act of 'both the men and the horses were shattered' as described in history books."
"After seeing this cavalry battle, if anyone dares to brag to me that the cavalry charge in 'The Lord of the Rings' is the coolest, I will definitely laugh at them for being so inexperienced. This scene in 'The Song of Tang Dynasty' is so cool!"
"Not only are the scenes grand and the battles powerful, but even the camerawork is impeccable. I now understand director Nolan. It's really hard for him to make a better film than this one, unless he can withstand the pressure and continue to work with Lin Yuan in the future."
"As soon as I saw this, I knew 'The Song of Tang Dynasty' was going to be a box office hit! It was so exciting, the pace was so fast, and it didn't drag at all. Even the climax of the final battle in other movies couldn't reach this level!"
Amid the audience's discussions, the big screen continued to show the fierce fighting when the two armies collided head-on. The Tang army soldiers were fearless and brave, and each of them was as brave as ten men.
"Win! Win! Win!"
The Tang army shouted three times, each one louder than the last, so awe-inspiring that it resounded through the sky.
The two armies fought each other, and lives were being harvested all the time.
The Tang army was in high spirits and well-equipped, but the Turkic army was numerous and powerful and should not be underestimated.
For a while, the battlefield was in a stalemate and it was difficult to determine the winner.
At this critical moment, Meng Tao led the cavalry, completed a detour, and fiercely attacked the Turkic army from the flank, defeating the enemy army through the entire line.
The Turkic cavalry fell into chaos and their morale was visibly low.
Immediately afterwards, the "Woo~Woo~Woo" horn sounded again.
Fires broke out everywhere in the Turkic camp behind!
The Turks' families and livestock were all there, and the attack on their camp completely destroyed their already low morale.
In the chaos, the Turkic soldiers began to abandon their attacks and ran towards their own camps in panic.
"We lost the fight, let's run for our lives!"
"I have a wife and children at home. I want to go back and save them. I won't fight anymore!"
"My house was burned down, along with all my belongings!"
The morale of the Turkic soldiers completely collapsed and they began to flee in all directions, shouting.
In this situation, the numerical advantage of the Turkic cavalry was meaningless, and instead became a disadvantage of trampling on each other.
The Tang army began to seize the opportunity to pursue and kill the enemy.
The first battle after the opening of the movie has come to an end, and the movie has only been played for 13 minutes.
But the rhythm is extremely tight and the plot is very exciting, which has completely conquered all the audience.
Many viewers completely understood what Chen Long said when he shared his experience of filming the movie:
“Even if we remove Lin Yuan’s thrilling action scenes, ‘The Legend of Tang’ is still an excellent film with only its cultural heritage and wonderful war scenes.
If we can tap into the potential of our own cultural treasures in the future, we will surely be able to create many wonderful films."
That's true. Even without the added bonus of Lin Yuan's thrilling action scenes, this is still an excellent masterpiece just based on war scenes like the opening grassland showdown.
As the audience said, "The Lord of the Rings" is already very good. Whether it is the Battle of Helm's Deep or the Battle of Minas Tirith, there are excellent cavalry charge scenes.
In Lin Yuan’s previous life, these war scenes became classics, and no works that could surpass them appeared until many years later.
But in Lin Yuan's life, "The Song of Tang Dynasty" completely crushed "The Lord of the Rings" with its visible advantages.
Whether it is the number of war horses used in the actual shooting or the performance of armor combat actions during the charge, "The Lord of the Rings" is completely incomparable to "The Song of Tang Dynasty".
A more decisive difference is that "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty" perfectly demonstrates the cavalry coordination tactics:
The armored cavalry charged head-on to attract the enemy's attention and firepower, while the assault cavalry made a detour to attack the enemy's flank. The two cavalry units completely delayed the enemy and created an opportunity for battle.
The light cavalry used their mobility to go around the enemy and attack their fatal weaknesses, and then cooperated with the heavy cavalry and assault cavalry to defeat the enemy and carry out the pursuit mission.
These are things that "The Lord of the Rings" could never shoot. It can only shoot the feeling of selecting CTAL+A and then all A passing in one go.
The battle scenes in "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty" have redefined the ceiling of war dramas and become an insurmountable existence.
Therefore, Chen Long said that "The Song of Tang Dynasty" is a masterpiece among masterpieces just by virtue of its cultural heritage and wonderful war scenes.
But then again, if such an excellent work were to be accompanied by Lin Yuan’s wonderful action scenes, wouldn’t it be soaring to the sky?
Is there any other movie that can surpass "The Legend of Tang" in quality?
This movie reflects Lin Yuan’s ambition. He used the highest film production cost in history to create a masterpiece that even he himself would find difficult to surpass!
On the big screen, the plot continues to advance.
What follows is the scene where Li Renjie tries to win over Lin Yuan but is rejected.
Although there is no direct fierce confrontation between the characters, thanks to the acting skills of Lin Yuan and Li Renjie, as well as the rivalry between the two action plots, the audience can feel the undercurrent of danger and excitement, and they call it very exciting.
Then the plot came to Yunzhou (Datong), where the market showed the customs and life of the people in the important border town of the Tang Dynasty. The rivalry between Lin Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan also showed the tender side of the tough guy.
These are all good plot preparations, embedded in the entire movie, and play a role in controlling the rhythm.
Many Western guests were quite interested in this scene in Yunzhou City and were quite shocked:
"According to the description, Yunzhou City is just a northern border town. It's not even comparable to a top-tier metropolis like Chang'an, let alone a secondary regional hub like Jinyang (Taiyuan). But its commerce is so developed? Its population and trade are also quite prosperous!"
"Look at the houses in Yunzhou City. They're so neat and beautiful. The main streets are paved with bluestone slabs, not loess. In this era, not to mention London and Paris, even Rome would find it hard to achieve that, right?" "Of course. In ancient times, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world. Chang'an and Luoyang were both megacities with populations exceeding one million! Can you believe that there were cities with populations exceeding one million over a thousand years ago? It's crazy!"
In the past two or three hundred years, driven by the dual revolutions (the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution), the West has gradually become the center of the world.
This has led many Westerners to believe that the now powerful and prosperous Western world was also the center of the world in ancient times.
But when they saw the prosperous and powerful side of the East that Lin Yuan showed them in the movie, even a Yunzhou City was beyond their imagination.
When they saw this scene, they were shocked by the impact on their ideas, but also became more interested in the culture, customs and people of the Tang Dynasty.
Yunzhou is already so surprising, so wouldn’t the scenery of Chang’an behind it be even more fascinating?
Next, the plot shifts to the polo match in Jinyang City.
The Hedong Jiedushi, played by Chen Long, appears and arranges a polo match with the Turks, making a bet for peace in the northern border this year.
This gave the polo match, which was originally just an ordinary sporting event, an additional layer of importance that determined the life and death of civilians.
There are several highlights of this episode:
First, there are Lin Yuan, Chen Long and Li Renjie, three action superstars gathered together to complete a wonderful polo battle.
Secondly, Lin Yuan won the competition after losing at first. His riding skills in turning the tide shocked many guests at the scene.
In the Western world, equestrianism has become an aristocratic sport. Many of the guests present are equestrian enthusiasts who can understand the difference between good and bad riding skills.
When they saw Lin Yuan's riding skills displayed in the movie while riding a horse and playing ball, they were immediately conquered.
This was a riding skill they had never dared to imagine. In comparison, the teachers they had hired at a high price seemed as clumsy as beginners.
The third point is ball sports, which are a favorite around the world, especially in the West. The inclusion of ball games in many films is a great way to add variety to the film and help adjust the film's rhythm.
For example, in the Harry Potter film series, almost every one of them likes to include a Quidditch match because the audience really likes to watch it.
When "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty" presented a ball game from a thousand years ago to the audience in the form of polo, the audience on the scene also watched it with great interest and shouted that it was exciting!
The movie continued to play on the big screen.
The plot develops to the point where Lin Yuan and Meng Tao return to Chang'an for vacation and prepare to take their families back to Hedong Town.
Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei went to the Chang'an Lantern Festival Night Market together.
There is a big round moon in the night sky, the towering Chang'an city wall in the distance is hidden in the night, and nearby is the brightly lit night view of the West Market.
The Lantern Festival night market is the busiest time of the year.
Tonight is equivalent to the Double Eleven Shopping Festival during the Tang Dynasty. For merchants, the income from one night is equivalent to nearly a month's revenue.
So on such a golden night, all the merchants tried their best to shout:
"As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Our shop has just arrived with exquisite Shu brocade. You can buy a few yards of it and take it home to make a new set of clothes. I guarantee that you will be reborn in no time. Customers who pass by, don't miss it!"
"Here's medicine for sale. The weather's getting colder these days. If you're feeling the cold, it's best to take medicine early to prevent a minor illness from turning into a major one. A dose of 'Cold-Repelling Powder' is only 10 wen. It'll treat any illness you have, and prevent it if you don't."
"Our shop sells a large number of wooden combs, hairpins, bone bookmarks, and dice. They are all of good quality and inexpensive. We welcome all our customers to choose from!"
The citizens of Chang'an and the tourists who came to Chang'an specifically to celebrate the Lantern Festival were walking through the streets and alleys, enjoying the prosperity of the moment.
When the night scene of the Lantern Festival in Chang'an was presented to the audience, the audience was filled with emotion:
Local officials and guests in Chang'an looked at the night scene of West Market with its flourishing flowers on the big screen, and felt as if the scene before them had traveled through a thousand years of time.
"This is the prosperity of Chang'an a thousand years ago. Seeing such a scene again makes us cry uncontrollably. As the descendants, we have been left behind and beaten for over a hundred years, which is a real shame to our ancestors. Fortunately, we know shame and then we will be brave. We must work hard to return to the top of the world nation."
"It's so beautiful! As a local official, I was deeply moved by this scene. I believe all Chinese people would want to transcend time and space to experience this scene in the movie and feel the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty up close."
"We are Chang'an City! We should develop the cultural tourism industry of the Great Tang Dynasty. This is our unshirkable responsibility, and it is also our greatest advantage and opportunity! We must seize this opportunity to promote our Chang'an tourism."
"We're still not doing enough. 'The Heroes of Tang Dynasty' recreated the Chang'an Night Market, but it was filmed at Fanyu Film and Television City. Shouldn't this be filmed in Chang'an? But our investment is too small, and we don't have the hardware support. As a Chang'an native, I feel ashamed."
On the big screen, amidst the bustling night market scene of the Tang Dynasty, local and domestic guests from Chang'an City had a lot of thoughts.
They thought of their nostalgia for the prosperous Tang Dynasty and their anticipation for building a strong motherland today.
They thought that as an ancient historical capital, Chang'an City has the unshirkable responsibility to promote the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
We also thought of the advantages of Chang'an City in developing the tourism industry during the prosperous Tang Dynasty by leveraging its historical heritage.
At this moment, countless thoughts were running through the minds of the guests.
Unlike domestic guests, foreign guests felt a huge shock.
When they first saw the neighborhood market in Yunzhou City (Datong), they were already amazed.
Now when the Lantern Festival Night Market in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was presented before their eyes, the bustling scene far exceeded their best imagination.
"Isn't this Lantern Festival Night Market too exaggerated? Did Lin Yuan deliberately exaggerate the performance in the film to promote the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"
"Exaggeration? Lin Yuan simply can't convey the true grandeur of Lantern Festival. Remember, Chang'an has a population of over one million, with over 8 shops in the East and West Markets, and a total commercial population of over 30! During the Lantern Festival in Chang'an, over 40 people participated in the fun in the two markets. It was truly a city where thousands of people deserted the streets!"
How could Lin Yuan recreate such a bustling scene? He had tried his best, but all he could do was create two streets and recruit over 2000 extras. It was still a far cry from the historical grandeur.
If we could really recreate that scene, it would be like a miracle. This was an agricultural country over 1000 years ago, and it still has a night market.”
"Yeah, think about the night markets in the Middle Ages. The most famous one is the Christmas night market in Paris, but the total number of participants is only a few thousand, not even a fraction of this."
"Silk and ceramics, this oriental country was once a paradise filled with gold for us. Have you forgotten 'The Travels of Marco Polo'? No matter how much praise is given to this country, it is not an exaggeration. How could you actually think that Lin Yuan would exaggerate?"
The foreign guests, captivated by Chang'an's bustling night market, stared at the screen with full curiosity.
Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei visited the Shangyuan Night Market hand in hand. The guests were afraid of missing every move they made. They completely immersed themselves in their roles and felt that wonderful night across thousands of years of time and space.
The guests watched Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei go to the cash box to exchange money, go to the Hu merchant to buy embroidered sachets and jewelry, and walk through the streets and alleys to eat delicious food:
Wine, meat wrapped in naan, pepper chicken, spicy lamb trotters, pork belly wrapped in stew...
A series of delicious dishes that blend Eastern and Western cuisine made the guests drool.
The local officials in Chang'an took note and planned to include these delicacies and make them an important part of the tourism experience.
Foreign guests were curious and wanted to experience this unique delicacy.
Finally, this wonderful Lantern Festival ended with fireworks filling the night sky.
"Were there fireworks during the Tang Dynasty?" Ron Dupont asked.
Betty nodded. "There should be. Although I don't know much about it, every detail Lin Yuan put into this film is very sophisticated and can withstand scrutiny. Since he dared to shoot it this way, it means that there must have been fireworks in the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes," said Nobuyuki Idei, standing by. The technical prerequisite for fireworks is gunpowder. Three people are considered the "possible inventors" of gunpowder: Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Hongjing of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and Sun Simiao of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
During the Zhenguan reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, droughts and floods plagued eastern Hunan for years, leaving the people destitute. At this time, a man named Li Ting from Liuyang was determined to exorcise the evil. He filled a bamboo tube with gunpowder, attached a fuse, and ignited it. A resounding explosion and a fragrant aroma filled the air. The evil miasma was finally driven away, and the people were able to live and work in peace.
From then on, Liuyang firecrackers and fireworks were born, and Li Ting, a Liuyang native, was honored as the "ancestor" of firecrackers and fireworks.
By the middle of the Tang Dynasty, fireworks production technology had become quite mature, and it was possible to produce colorful fireworks."
After hearing Nobuyuki Idei's explanation, Ron Dupont asked in confusion, "You know so much, but aren't you Japanese? How do you know so much about Chinese history?"
Idei Nobuyuki said embarrassedly, "During the Tang Dynasty, Japan was the most devout student. Our scholars' understanding of Tang Dynasty culture and history is even no less than that of many Chinese scholars. Now the National Museum of Japan still has Tang Dynasty fireworks artifacts brought back by Tang Dynasty envoys."
What Nobuyuki Idei didn’t say is: The way Japan licks the boots of the United States today is the same as how it licked the boots of the Tang Dynasty back then.
No, licking the Tang Dynasty is even worse.
From the national system, to the calendar and writing, to architecture, it was imitated and accepted in all aspects.
"It's amazing! When I saw the colorful fireworks just now, I was still questioning whether the Tang Dynasty 1300 years ago could have made them. Now it seems that there is absolutely no problem at all. Lin Yuan's film is so exquisite, and every detail is done perfectly." Ron Dupont said.
On the big screen, the story continues.
The plot soon comes to Lin Yuan and Meng Tao, who return to Hedong Town with their families.
On the way, he was chased by soldiers who came from nowhere.
Lin Yuan asked Meng Tao to take the soldiers' families away first, while he himself took a small number of soldiers to cover their retreat.
This is another series of desperate fights. The fighting scenes are very realistic and not at all like those in martial arts movies.
Lin Yuan was gradually forced to the edge of the Yellow River.
After seeing this scene, the guests at the scene finally knew which segment the behind-the-scenes footage they had seen before was from.
Although we had seen the behind-the-scenes footage before, everyone was still extremely nervous when they saw this part.
The effect presented in the movie is the best picture shot by multiple cameras. The final film after editing is definitely much better than the behind-the-scenes footage.
Under the gaze of all the spectators, Lin Yuan jumped into the Yellow River, was swept down the waterfall, hit his head against the rock wall and was bleeding, and then was swallowed by the whirlpool.
At this time, the camera switched.
The image was spinning at high speed, making people feel dizzy.
The sound of gurgling water invading the eardrum gives me a chilling feeling.
"There really is a whirlpool! Damn it! Lin Yuan was really swept to the bottom of the river by the whirlpool!" Ron Dupont exclaimed. "How did they film this scene? There weren't any cameras underwater, were there?"
"Lin Yuan told me that this was filmed by his portable camera. The camera was tied tightly to his waist. He originally just wanted to edit the filmed footage into the end credits and the DVD collection. I didn't expect Director Nolan to still edit in a part of it." Betty said.
"Of course it had to be edited in, otherwise how would the audience know that Lin Yuan actually encountered the danger of a whirlpool at the bottom of the river. And this part is so realistic, it greatly improves the quality of the film. I'm just curious now, how did Lin Yuan escape the whirlpool." Ron DuPont said.
Lin Yuan calmly controlled himself and did not move.
Facing a whirlpool, it is absolutely impossible to swim out by brute force.
The so-called struggle to break free by following the direction of the vortex is also impossible. (Haier Brothers)
The forces of nature are irresistible, but you can wait for the whirlpool to throw you out.
It is impossible to be thrown out in the upper and middle part of the vortex.
Because the suction in the upper and middle parts of the vortex is very strong, but the centrifugal force is not enough and the rotation speed is not fast enough.
But the vortex is in the shape of a funnel, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.
The closer to the bottom, the faster the speed and the greater the centrifugal force.
As long as Lin Yuan remained motionless, he would be gradually sucked to the bottom by the whirlpool.
At that position, the whirlpool will no longer be able to hold Lin Yuan, and he will be thrown out with great speed and force.
So Lin Yuan held his breath tightly to prevent the river water from entering his nasal cavity and preventing him from choking.
He laid his entire body flat while keeping it tense to avoid straining his muscles.
As he continued to spin downward, Lin Yuan clearly felt that he was accelerating and the force pushing him outward was getting stronger.
He remained calm and waited silently for the best opportunity to come.
This is the time!
Lin Yuan, who was at the bottom of the whirlpool, was thrown out violently.
Break free!
Seeing this scene, all the audience couldn't help but applaud Lin Yuan crazily.
Thunderous applause rang out in the hall again and lasted for a long time.
This is everyone paying tribute to Lin Yuan, expressing their respect for him for not fearing the danger to his life and creating another miracle.
