I asked you to make a propaganda film, why did you all come to join the army?

Chapter 287 Filming a Lunar New Year Blockbuster! (Seeking a subscription, asking for a monthly pass!)

As for next year's election time, there is still almost a year to go. After all, the election will be at the end of next year. But if this year is busy with Li Chang'an's identity, next year he will be busy with Li Changshou's identity, like a dog.

After all, if he wants to compete with those veteran directors, he must have achievements in several fields. In fact, Li Changan could have been deeply involved in one field and accumulated 30 years of works, but now it is too late.

If you want to take the position of vice president in your twenties, you must achieve something in several popular topics.

Because of the high level of entertainment in this world, the power and status of the film association are actually much higher. It seems to be a film association, but in fact TV series, animation, variety shows and the like are also included.

Fortunately, there is still time.

He still has a task this year. The filming of "Operation Red Sea" has to be completed, and it will be released as this year's Lunar New Year film.

In fact, many details of the last operation have not been disclosed. What the outside world knows is that the Great Xia Navy brought him back, but such a good opportunity should be publicized, so everyone is waiting for Li Changan's movie.

There are less than three months until the new year, but it is still too late, because firstly, the script is complete, and secondly, the support from the navy is very strong, and then the actors have already accumulated a batch of mature actors in "Fire Blue Blade". Actor, capable and hot.

Compared with "Wolf Warrior", Li Changan personally prefers Operation Red Sea, because Operation Red Sea is more about teamwork, and many things cannot be done by one person.

Mercenaries may be more inclined to operate alone, but special forces are more inclined to teamwork.

However, "Wolf Warrior" depends on the opportunity in the future. The reason why "Operation Red Sea" can be filmed this year is that the aircraft carrier is launched, and this operation is really tough. Many, all of these factors are indispensable.

In addition, there is news about J20 for the first time this year, so that netizens are saying that the game is a war, and what is agreed is a small upgrade?

So in summary, the combination of various factors can lead to the explosion of "Operation Red Sea".

As for "My Leader, My Regiment", it was temporarily postponed because it had to make way for "Awakening Age".

So after saying goodbye to Muxi for a day, Li Changan came to the place where the navy where "Fire Blue Blade" was filmed again. This time, the person who came to meet Li Changan was directly changed.

Nonsense, Li Changan had just been promoted to a major in Ermao [-] not long ago, and also served as a director of the military art department, so the connection is naturally high-grade.

The selection of actors is naturally still the batch of "Fire Blue Blade". In fact, in the last life, the camera of "Operation Red Sea" has been complained about because the camera shakes too much. Fortunately, the cameraman of the No. [-] crew has already been trained.

Both men and women, just right.

In "Operation Red Sea", Yang Rui, the captain of the Jiaolong commando, Gu Shun the sniper, Xu Hong the blaster, Xia Nan the female reporter, and Tong Li the female machine gunner had the highest appearance rate in "Operation Red Sea".

As for foreigners, when "My Leader, My Team" was filmed, the crew had already contacted a group of professionals, and it is also very suitable to use here.

Before shooting, it is actually signing a contract, confidentiality agreement, various procedures, and review.

In the beginning, the scene was shot on the sea, and the ships and helicopters were also matched with real ones.

But it's worth mentioning that even though the actors like Huo Lan Dao Feng had a foundation, they still couldn't compare to the real Jiaolong commando.

How should I put it, they still can't take pictures of ocean-going operations.

From the beginning of the scene, it was constantly NG.

There was no other way, Li Changan had no choice but to go to the comrade in the navy who was in charge of the contact, and apply for the transfer of the original commando team codenamed Jiaolong.

Fortunately, they were on vacation. When they heard that they were invited by director Li Changan who was on the boat back then, they came without saying a word.

After all, they are familiar with each other, and they still miss Li Changan's "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp".

The captain's name was Nie Yushan. As soon as he saw Li Changan, he immediately took the initiative to salute and explained: "Director Li, I'm sorry, I'm a bit late, but I'm really busy here, otherwise I should have come here long ago. It’s right to talk to you about the old days.”

This is also their territory.

"That's all right now. The chief has arranged for me to fully cooperate with your filming tasks. We have ten more days of vacation."

"So Director Li, if you have any questions, just ask me."

Nie Yushan was very happy, filming, what a novelty.

Li Changan also hastily saluted and said hello: "Captain Nie, long time no see. I really encountered a little difficulty in filming here and need your help, Team Nie."

"Our actors are considered half-baked. It's okay to play a marine in the navy, but it's too difficult to play your real commando. I want to ask you to help me with training. The captain's command, the sniper, the blaster, and the most important thing is , there must be sea sniping.”

Li Changan said a little embarrassedly that his request was indeed a bit too much.

Previously, the leading sniper of Huolan Blade was a girl, Wu Yun, and the sea sniper was even worse.

He really doesn't have a good sniper in his hands.

"I've already heard from the chief about this issue." Nie Yushan nodded like a normal person. Are these issues serious?

"Let's go, the chief has agreed to open the beach extreme training camp. I have gathered all the team members in the training camp and waited. When the time comes, Director Li, what cooperation do you need from me? Just open your mouth."

Li Changan could only say thank you again and again.

"I heard that you came and fulfilled the promise you made on the boat. Those little bastards are so happy." Nie Yushan smiled as he walked. Back then, Li Changan promised them to make this drama, so he never wanted to come. So fast.

Li Changan greeted the leading actors waiting behind him to get into the car, and followed Nie Yushan to the extreme training camp on the beach.

Everyone was naturally excited. Who doesn't envy the sharp knife commandos who went out to perform missions? Although they belong to the same department, they are obviously more handsome.

The mighty convoy drove for nearly half an hour on the road before arriving at the beach extreme training camp.

The twelve members of the Jiaolong Special Team lined up, standing majestically on the training ground.Holding a steel gun with his back to the sea, it is like a copper wall, blocking all the howling from the sea.

This posture of the soldiers is training and also welcoming everyone, using their unique way to welcome friends from outside.

For them, it is indeed a friend outside.

"Everyone has it, stand at attention!"

"Welcome Director Li and his actors."

"Applause!" Captain Nie immediately said dissatisfied seeing everyone standing there blankly.

Then, more than a dozen people applauded abruptly, giving the feeling of a small team.

Li Changan pinched his chin and thought for a while:
"In that case, your snipers and observers will train our actors for a while, as long as you have that feeling."

"The blaster is the same as the captain. It's best for Captain Nie to bring it along. I think Team Nie has this kind of temperament."

"You can tell us all about the feeling of carrying out the mission at the beginning. Tell me, after all, you are the first contact person for the mission."

Li Changan soon had an idea.

"Sure, are you patient?" Captain Nie asked suddenly and inadvertently.

Li Changan didn't even look at the actors, and nodded for them directly: "It's quite impressive."

The actors behind it: .
Hear me say thank you for having you.
"Oh, by the way, besides that, Team Nie, let them learn skydiving, demolition, diving, and motorboat driving." Li Changan did not forget to add.

Half a month later, it was officially launched.

As usual, the secondary guns of the participating ship fired to celebrate the launch.

In addition to the source, several people from the literary and art department of the Navy also came to observe, including the director and screenwriter.

Li Chang'an stood at the scene and waved his hands and said, "Come on, get ready, all departments are in place."

"The scene where the pirates log onto the ship at the beginning of the film will be filmed later. Let's start with the scene where the Jiaolong commando boards the ship and controls it."

"Who is that? As the captain of the Jiaolong commando, Yang Rui, you have also read more about the script of this scene."

"When the filming starts, just put in the same posture as you did in training a few days ago."

"Everyone is in place, and the props team sends people to the cruiser."

"Wang Jingfeng, you lead a group of photographers to board the cruiser."

In order to progress the filming, Li Changan directly shook people over.

"The assistant director took people to shoot the high-altitude scene." The assistant director with no name on the side stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture. He took the crew and actors on the motorboat and began to board the cruiser.

After all, there are several assistant directors in the No. [-] crew, so how can they all be named.

The others immediately followed the setting in the script and began to lead the other actors to ambush on the cruiser. The scene where the captain commanded in the cockpit could only be retaken later.

Li Chang'an has already arranged for the staff of the photography team to start filming the Jiaolong commando that is already in place.

As the chief director, he put the chief camera on another helicopter and kept an eye on the progress of the shooting.

The first few groups of shots were not very demanding.Take a picture of the location of the Jiaolong Commando.Another set of shots of the damaged oil valve was shot and it was over.

Then came the scene on the helicopter. The sniper Luo Xing half-kneeled on the ground with a gun in his hand. He looked much more natural, like a sniper.

Of course, they will not have the strength.

Sniping at sea is really a technical job. Wind, humidity, helicopter speed, and the speed of the opponent all need to be considered.

But when something went wrong during filming, the actors got used to it and could take a few short shots calmly.

The problem is that the photographer couldn’t stabilize and started to panic. Facing the high altitude, in order to get a better shooting angle, the drone shooting and manual shooting were all carried out at the same time, so that there could be more when editing later. choose.

After all, this set of shots needs to consume too many resources. In order to strive for a good one-time shooting, all aspects must be prepared in place.

During the trial shooting, Li Changan discovered this problem, and this time he didn't bother the photographer too much.

The cameraman of No. [-] crew is stable, but it doesn't mean that he is stable on the plane.

Li Changan simply asked the chief photographer to check the chief mirror, and he started shooting himself: "The one who plays Luo Xing, get ready."

"Just follow my previous lecture at night. Don't be nervous about the details I told you. Let's try to shoot this group of shots in one go."

"Don't do it a second time."

Luo Xing made an OK gesture.

Li Changan turned on the camera, and at the same time arranged for the pilot to constantly adjust the angle of the helicopter.

Looking for the most suitable position, according to his memory, the sniper scene of "Operation Red Sea" does not require many shots.

Shooting a movie is not like shooting a TV series with several groups of long shots. The shots in this movie are all connected one group after another. Sometimes the same group of shots needs to be shot from several angles.

As for the slow-motion playback after the bullet is fired, those need to be processed in post-production to achieve the effect of watching movies.

At present, it is only for framing and shooting these shots, just the shot of Luo Xing killing pirates on the helicopter.

As well as Yang Rui leading the Jiaolong commando team to rescue the hostages, it took more than a dozen sets of shots to complete.

"start!"

Following Li Changan's order, the sea battle scene entered the shooting state.

"Captain, we found that the pirate who shot and killed the crew boarded the boat and ran away."

After hearing the report, Yang Rui immediately ran to the deck and looked into the distance.After the foreign actors who were already on a small boat in the distance heard the voice from the walkie-talkie.

Immediately drove the boat towards the distance.The props team hastily arranged for a drone to take a close-up shot from a high altitude.

"Crack, OK."

"Start shooting the next set of short shots."

"Helicopter One is ready to take position."

"I counted one, two, three, and the helicopter appeared on the front of the deck."

"That's Yang Rui's side, helicopter pilot No. [-], get ready."

"Come on, get ready, one, two, three, start shooting." After the voice fell, the props team immediately controlled the high-altitude drone to start shooting from all aspects.

At the same time, Li Changan still served as the main photographer in the No. [-] helicopter, and at the same time, he was constantly instructing the No. [-] pilot to adjust the position of the helicopter in order to find the best position for shooting.

After the position was adjusted, Li Changan stretched out his hand to signal Yang Rui who was not far away to start shooting the next set of shots.

On the No. [-] helicopter, Luo Xing yelled: "Captain, I'll go after him."

After shouting this line, the prop group controlled the drone to immediately turn around and aim at Yang Rui.

"No, Luo Xing."

"There are too many pirates in the sea ahead, it's too dangerous!"

"They killed people, they can't be allowed to escape like this."

"All right!"

"Crack", Li Changan directly interrupted the shooting of this group of shots.

The meaning is not in place.

"When shooting this group of shots, you must reflect your emotional tension."

"In the script, when Luo Xing was applying to the captain to chase after him, Yang Rui's lines were spoken quickly and briefly, reflecting his anxiety and concern for his subordinates."

"When Luo Xing heard these words, he yelled out righteously. It doesn't matter if you are as loud as you are."

"The eyes are wrong, put in the emotions, imagine, if the pirates kill our people, and your captain won't let you rescue them."

"Shout out the line just now with this emotion."

"The captain's sentence is okay, I can't just agree to it directly. The entanglement on the face must reflect concern for comrades in arms and hatred for the enemy. These facial expressions must be in place."

"Okay, I'll give you 1 minutes to prepare, and reshoot this group of shots after 1 minutes."

"Come on, helicopter No. [-] returns to its original position, and all departments are ready."

Several observing art directors from the Navy watched Li Changan direct the shooting scene. There were many shots that they thought were okay, but in Li Changan’s view, there were still many flaws.Every time I can point out some problems.

And Li Chang'an is a cameraman and still takes pictures steadily, so why is he right about everything?
In the morning, although dozens of shots were taken, most of them were repeated. They all had to admit that this Director Li really pursued perfection in his pursuit of art.

Among them, there are obviously many shots that seem to be no problem, but they still need to shoot a few more groups, and when some shots need to show tension in their opinion, Director Li directly announces the approval.

As everyone knows, the director Li in their eyes has seen the finished film several times, so he doesn't need the so-called inspiration and in-depth understanding of the script.

You only need to take pictures step by step to capture the pictures in your mind, and the perception pursued by the masses is not on a parallel line with the perception pursued by these staff members in the army.

What the audience cares about is the impact of firepower, the excitement of guns, and the stimulation of adrenaline.

Explosions are the most exciting thing about guns, not how to complete the task quietly.

After shooting again, this group of shots passed directly. Li Changan looked at the effect of the shooting and nodded in satisfaction.

He is awesome as a cameraman.

"Okay, this set of shots is good, everyone please get ready, the next set of shots will start to shoot the scene where the Jiaolong commando fights the fleeing pirates."

"This scene is the hottest scene at the beginning of the movie."

"The actor who plays Li Dong, the actor who plays Yang Rui, and the actor who plays Luo Xing get ready."

"The props team arranged for the drones to follow up."

"The other members of the Jiaolong commando are ready for the boat."

(It was only released, and it’s okay and cherished, everyone, but I modified and added 500 words more than the original, it’s free.)
