This director is very reliable

Chapter 525 No time to talk to you (second update)

Shen Changlin entered the shooting state very quickly...

After arriving in Xiangshan, a three-day meeting was held to determine the precautions for shooting, and then the official shooting began!
From the perspective of filming, all war scenes are difficult to shoot.

Even if it is now possible to simulate with CG...

But you have to be realistic!

Shots of thousands of troops, near reality and far away: When shooting, the crowd in the close-up mostly adopts real shots to create a real atmosphere; the shot of bullets flying across the sky, the trajectory of tracer bullets added by CG in the later stage...

Shots of corpses strewn across the field, group performances are commonly used in China, and mannequins are commonly used abroad;
But there is still a problem, that is, the scene of a large number of bombings!

This thing is to bury the explosive point first.

Divided into actual scene blasting and model blasting...

For high-risk scenes such as large explosions, Shen Changlin must use CG, which is safe and environmentally friendly...

Hollywood blockbusters do this, shooting with a blue or green backdrop, adding bombing, flying bullets and other materials in post-production...

But a small explosion...

It still has to explode, without this environment, many actors would not be able to enter the role!
Shen Changlin is looking for all powerful actors this time, with Zhu Yiwen leading the lead, Duan Yihong, Yu Ailei, and Wang Qianyuan as supporting roles...

Several young people found Bai Jingting, Yu Haoming and Dou Xiao, by the way, the underage soldier Xiao Sichuan played by Yi Yang Qianxi...

Why are you looking for him?
Because Shen Changlin knew he had potential!
Of course, among the three TF-Boys, his current popularity is actually at the bottom.

It's really amazing. No one thought that Yiyang Qianxi in the three little ones would come from behind. There is luck, and of course talent and hard work...

……

With Shen Changlin's current status, the actors are at his disposal!

Why didn't you find Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, or Yang Yang, Chen Xiao, Wang Kai, Hu Ge, etc.?

Damn it, Zhang Yi went to the Amou crew, Huang Bo followed Ning Hao, and the others were taken away by Su Lun and Yang Qing...

You can't let one actor play two films, right?

Fortunately, there are many good actors in China!
By the way, "Our Victory" doesn't have any actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan...

Mainly a sense of incongruity...

Shen Changlin originally thought that when filming "Battle of Baoshan", he had to pray that the pyrotechnics team would work reliably and avoid accidents.

Fireworks are hard to control!
In previous shootings, in order to confirm safety, the pyrotechnics team would perform a demonstration in advance, and only shoot if there were no problems.

"My Team Leader, My Team" did the same thing, but during the demonstration, the pyrotechnic team was killed and injured twice!
Shen Changlin originally planned to spend a lot of money to hire a Hollywood blasting team.

The Hollywood blasting team requires special precision. Before shooting, they will design the story version according to the director's requirements and the content of the plot, and clarify the sub-shots of the battle. Basically, the camera position during shooting will not change greatly.

Secondly, they do relevant experiments and record the corresponding data. The effect of each experiment is recorded with a camera and stored in the computer, and the effect to be displayed is shown to the director. If the director is not satisfied, they will continue to think of ways and continue to experiment until The director is satisfied.

In actual work, all aspects of this experiment will be strictly followed.

Then they will prepare for all aspects of work according to this requirement, and finally know what they are doing during shooting and use to ensure safety.

In contrast, our domestic pyrotechnicians usually go to the scene. After the camera is ready, according to the plot of the script and the requirements of the whole scene, based on their own experience, the scene will be based on the size of the screen, the width of the lens, and the number of people. , wind force and wind direction, etc. to organize the pyrotechnic scene to determine the location and detonation rhythm of the pyrotechnic explosion point.

This requires the ability of the pyrotechnician itself!
Awesome pyrotechnician, can do big scenes...

But... if the pyrotechnician is not professional enough, it will be miserable!
However, after three years of development, our pyrotechnic team has also begun to keep pace with the times.

This time they were looking for Yin Xingyun and Tong Qingbo's team.

At this stage, the relatively advanced pyrotechnic teams in China are basically working in Hollywood. Yin Xingyun and Tong Qingbo worked with "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in those years-these two are both from the special effects workshop of the Technical Department of Bayi Film Studio.

Later, I left Bayi Factory and set up my own pyrotechnic special effects company...

Originally, Shen Changlin didn't really believe in their level, but as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is any, and they have level!

In the original time and space, they did the fireworks and blasting special effects in "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart", "Operation Red Sea" including "Changjin Lake"!
……

The screenwriter is Lan Xiaolong...

He wrote "Battle of Baoshan", which is a bit overkill, because the story line of "Battle of Baoshan" is very clear, just write according to the story!

On August 1937, 8, the Japanese No. 23 and No. 11 Divisions, the two Type A Corps, successfully landed under the cover of artillery fire from naval ships, and a large number of reinforcements were in place.

In order to keep Shanghai, we decided to use a small town called "Luodian" in the north of Shanghai as a stronghold to intercept the Japanese army.

In such a tiny place, China and Japan successively invested more than [-] soldiers, which became the entire battle for Luodian and therefore became the most tragic battle in the entire Songhu Battle, known as "Flesh Mill", and Baoshan is just behind Luodian.

If Luodian is to intercept the Japanese army and continue to use this as a breakthrough to continue to penetrate the hinterland, then Baoshan is to intercept the Japanese army that is continuously replenishing Luodian. From a strategic point of view, Baoshan is undoubtedly very important!

The problem is that Baoshan is a place that is completely "easy to attack but difficult to defend". There is only one small town, the city walls are all built of yellow mud, and it cannot resist the Japanese artillery fire at all, let alone there is no shelter at all around. Japanese cruisers on the sea can bombard here at any time.

Let's put it this way, Baoshan is a completely dead place, but someone has to be stationed there.

Chen Cheng, commander of the 15th Group Army, gave a death order to Xia Chuzhong of the 98th Division: "You must defend Baoshan City, or come and see me!"

Although the 98th Division is the elite of the Central Army, the problem is that the tragic battle in Luodian caused heavy casualties, and Xia Chuzhong has no soldiers in his hands.

After thinking about it, Xia Chuzhong took aim at the third battalion of the 292nd brigade and the 583rd regiment, a reserve force with more than 500 people and less than 600 people, and the battalion commander Yao Ziqing was the commander.

Yao Ziqing knew that she would never come back!

But he still took over the garrison mission...

Let's put it this way, the Japanese attackers were the 68th Regiment of the Third Division, with about 3000 people. The first brigade was only the main offensive, and the second and third companies were responsible for blocking rescue.

500 vs. 3000, how to fight?
In addition, the 68th Regiment of the Third Division is also a type-A corps, with strong weapons to suppress...

In addition to weapons, equipment, numbers, and naval suppression, the Japanese army also had air force air control.

This is really called going without returning!
The content of Yao Ziqing's last call before his death in battle was: "Swear to die with the enemy, stick to the city wall, survive with one breath, and fight to the end."

In the entire Baoshan defense battle, except for a soldier from the 9th company named Wei Jianju who went out of the city at night to report the battle situation, all 500 soldiers were killed.

This focus portrays a tragic...

Five hundred athletes died for the country, China is more than one field!

Lan Xiaolong is very good at writing such scripts...

But he rarely takes on jobs that are not challenging at all. The reason why he took on "Battle of Baoshan" is mainly because of the "eight hundred" that Shen Changlin told him...

Lan Xiaolong was a little hesitant: "The story of the Sixing Warehouse is not easy to write, just like the retreat of Pearl Harbor and Dunkirk, it was a defeat in itself, and it is almost impossible to write in a positive and bright direction;
In addition, the purpose behind this war is also very complicated. High-level political wrestling, soldiers became pawns, which made it impossible to write a great failure like "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", because there is not enough reason behind him to support it. . "

"That's why I asked you to write! Start with international politics, high-level struggles, international public opinion and other angles, explain the whole story, show the war like a Rashomon, with praise and criticism, and focus on portraying politicians Shameless face..."

Lan Xiaolong wrote it down, and then asked: "What about the soldiers?"

"Here comes the absurdity. The soldiers who are pawns have no political factors in their hearts, no interest entanglements, just pure ethnic hatred and sacrifice..."

After thinking about it, Shen Changlin added: "In this play, there are no Japanese people from the beginning to the end, only gunshots can be heard, and airplanes can be seen!"

"Then... is this still a war movie?"

"of course!"

Shen Changlin nodded of course: "War is a continuation of politics, and what we do is the real war movie!"

"Okay, then I'll write it down..."

After chatting with Lan Xiaolong, Shen Changlin was going to talk to the photographer Han Qiming about the shots to be taken tomorrow, when the phone rang again...

It's so annoying, recently a bunch of friends or the media tried to catch him in the mouth - the backstab against Baldy Xu...

What can he think?
Different ways do not conspire with each other!

Xu Guangtou felt that he could earn more by doing this...

Then let him do it.

Shen Changlin was very busy this week, let's put it this way, he was so busy that even the crew of "War God Zhao Zilong" next door came to visit the set, and he didn't have time to watch it.

Why do you think he cares about this matter?
Just as he was about to get angry, the voice on the other end of the phone was quite familiar to him.

"...Miss Mi..."

"You are in Xiangshan? What are you filming in Xiangshan?"
