Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 205 We are old acquaintances, not in the physical sense!
One afternoon in October 1964.

In the Gobi desert in the northwest, there is a place name that everyone in the country remembers in their hearts. It is called Lop Nur.

And in Lop Nur.

There is a Ms. Qiu, who is here to fully bloom her brilliance, and she let the whole world hear a shocking dragon chant.

That's right, my country's first atomic bomb was called "Miss Qiu".

Of course, it also has a mysterious code name called "596", and a very vivid name called - fighting spirit bomb!

that time.

The success of such an atomic bomb is of great significance indeed.

She succeeded.

Ms. Qiu's success has inspired the people of the country!

Now decades have passed, and it has arrived in the 21s of the 20st century. Whether it is in the field of nuclear physics or other scientific and technological fields, China has made outstanding achievements, and has even been at the forefront of the world.

For example, energy technology, aerospace technology, military technology, etc., make the once mighty America a bit difficult to catch up.

Nowadays.

It is still in the Gobi desert in the northwest, near Lop Nur.

Decades later, the Department of Science and Technology once again arranged for the explosion of an atomic bomb here.

It's just that the meaning of this explosion is completely different from that of decades ago.

In today's country, there is no need to use a successful atomic bomb to prove itself and improve its international status.

A military off-road vehicle is heading towards a test base in the Gobi desert.

There is also an atomic bomb here.

Its code name is "Movie Props", yes, it is so simple and straightforward, because it is indeed a movie prop, used in Xu Nuo's new movie "Oppenheimer".

This time, regarding the nuclear props of the movie, it is obvious that the level of secrecy is not as high as that of Ms. Qiu decades ago.

Ms. Qiu decades ago, before she successfully bloomed, basically no one knew of her existence.

This time, the "movie prop" is known to people all over the world.

The times have changed, and the level of top secret of some things is naturally different.

"Old Xu, this time the Science and Technology Department has organized a team specifically for the detonation of this atomic bomb, but this is a small-yield atomic bomb, and the significance of its experimental research is not very great. It is mainly for your film crew to practice. There is only one chance to shoot the explosion of the atomic bomb, so you have to be prepared."

On the off-road vehicle, Colonel Luo Wei personally drove Xu Nuo here.

About ten kilometers away from the off-road body, there is another convoy, escorted by special military vehicles, and the minibus is also driving towards this side.

The convoy behind Xu Nuo and Colonel Luo Wei was the film crew that Xu Nuo brought over to detonate the movie's nuclear props, and the film crew brought Xu Nuo's equipment.

In the convoy, there is also a large van trailer that everyone is familiar with.

Seeing this car outdoors, anyone who knows a little bit knows that it is a symbol of Iron Man.

That's right.

In addition to arranging many shooting positions, Xu Nuo himself is also preparing to wear black armor and steel suits, and shoot the explosion scenes of "movie nuclear props" in a safe location.

No way, apart from the distant view, this thing also needs some more suitable distance, height and angle for shooting. So at this time, you can't use a helicopter to arrange the seat in the air, right?
Iron suit is the best fit.

Xu Nuo can wear the steel suit at the edge of a safe distance, and then use the unmanned steel suit to shoot at a closer distance.

The unmanned steel battle suit developed by Xu Nuo now has a very practical use, that is, Xu Nuo can use it to shoot some real aerial shots of movies in the future.

When filming "Iron Man" before, Xu Nuo only had a set of steel suits, and he had to wear this set of steel suits to be "photographed" by the characters in the movie, so he could only use aerial drones, The helicopter took the cameraman to shoot the movie screen at a not too high altitude.

With the unmanned steel suit, these problems can be better solved. In the future, the shooting of aerial movie content will become more intelligent, convenient and fast, but this shooting equipment "unmanned steel suit" needs to be adjusted. The lens has been modified to make it more suitable for the frame of the movie or the application of IMAX's related camera technology to the unmanned steel suit.

After all, Xu Nuo's steel suit uses his real group's black technology hyperspectral lens, which can scan and analyze the environment, but for shooting movie-level images, after all, there are some differences in functions .

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared this time. After preparing for so long, I'm just waiting for this day."

Xu Nuo said to Colonel Luo Wei confidently.

"That's good. I read on the Internet that if your film crew filmed the actual shooting of the "Oppenheimer" atomic bomb this time, it would be very expensive for the cameraman. Hahaha, the netizens are really interesting."

Colonel Luo Wei said jokingly.

"This time I am really planning to shoot a little closer."

Xu Nuo suddenly said calmly.

"Ok?"

When Colonel Luo Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

For a moment, he didn't know whether Xu Nuo was serious or joking.

This thing is an atomic bomb explosion. In addition to a safe distance, do you want to get a little closer to shoot?

Would the cameraman be willing to go?

Or arrange a closer seat directly?

This can be considered, but the power of the atomic bomb explosion is very huge, even if the seat is arranged a little closer, many factors must be considered.

"I brought the equipment here."

Xu Nuo said with a smile.

Colonel Luo Wei turned his head and took a look at Xu Nuo. From his expression, Colonel Luo Wei seemed to have understood something: "I will definitely go to the cinema when the time comes to see the real explosive scenes shot by your crew."

"Hey, thank you, Lao Luo, for contributing to the box office of our "Oppenheimer"."

When Xu Nuo chatted with Colonel Luo Wei, he didn't need to say too much, he could understand what he meant.

About half an hour later, the cars of Xu Nuo and Colonel Luo Wei arrived at the test base first. It can be seen that the Science and Technology Department has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to detonate the "movie nuclear prop" this time. .

It was an atomic bomb after all!

"Wouldn't the detonation day be today?"

Looking at the situation at the test base, Xu Nuo felt that it was slightly smaller than the nuclear test town set built by his "Oppenheimer" crew.

This is also understandable.

But Xu Nuo thought, since he just came here with the camera crew, he shouldn't start filming so soon.

"This is a nuclear prop for the crew of your movie "Oppenheimer". When it will detonate is naturally up to you, the director, to decide."

Colonel Luo Wei smiled and said to Xu Nuo.

The Department of Science and Technology has made all preparations to detonate this movie nuclear prop at any time, so as Colonel Luo Wei said, Xu Nuo has the final say on when to detonate.

"Then it will take two days."

Xu Nuo was not in a hurry, because the camera crew of the film crew definitely needed some time to "adapt" to it, and then adjusted his unmanned steel suit by the way.

"Huh? Those gringos over there are supposed to be from the International Atomic Energy Agency?"

Most of what Xu Nuo saw at the test base were Chinese faces, but just now, Xu Nuo saw a group of foreigners not far away.

Since this movie nuclear prop was approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and then jointly developed by China and the United States, there must be members of the National Atomic Energy Agency and the American Institute of Nuclear Research in the team that detonated. side people.

"That's right, as you know, this movie nuclear prop is not made by our country alone. The International Atomic Energy Agency will naturally participate in the whole process."

Colonel Luo Wei nodded and explained.

"Yeah, I know that."

Xu Nuo took a few more glances at the group of IAEA people, and didn't say anything more.

After the camera crew and actors of his film crew had arrived at the test base, Xu Nuo called them up and took Colonel Luo Wei to explain to them some precautions before the actual filming.

The most important thing is the issue of "safety", which Colonel Luo Wei has repeatedly emphasized.

It is possible to shoot a nuclear bomb explosion.

But the staff of the crew must strictly abide by all the safety rules of the test base.

"The first thing I want to tell you is the safe activity area. Since this is a real nuclear test base, we have made eye-catching signs on some places. Don't go to places you can't go, otherwise you will be held accountable if you cause serious consequences. gone."

Colonel Luo Wei spoke earnestly to the crew of "Oppenheimer".

"Uh-huh."

"I definitely don't dare to run around."

"All follow Director Xu and Colonel's arrangements."

"As ordered!"

Everyone in the crew responded one after another.

They are also very familiar with Colonel Luo Wei. After all, Colonel Luo Wei has participated in Director Xu's "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2", and they are old acquaintances, not in the physical sense.

"Meals, accommodation and other issues, there will be a special person to talk to you later."

Colonel Luo Wei continued.

"The conditions are almost the same as those on the set of our nuclear test town."

At this time, Xu Nuo added something aside.

"Director Xu, it's enough to have food and shelter."

"Not picky."

"As long as you don't sleep in the Gobi Desert."

The big guys in the crew are quite used to the harsh environment in the Gobi desert in the northwest. After all, the conditions were not too good when they were filming in the nuclear test town.

"In addition, all the staff of our crew, mobile phones and other non-shooting electronic devices during filming need to be temporarily preserved by us."

Colonel Luo Wei said again.

"Everyone will hand over all the electronic equipment in a while." Xu Nuo echoed Colonel Luo Wei.

Everyone can understand this.

After all, this is a real nuclear test base, not a nuclear test town filming set built by the crew before. Since the Science and Technology Department said that it will temporarily hand over mobile phones and other electronic equipment, everyone is very cooperative.

After a while, the mobile phones and other electronic devices of the big guys were specially collected by the Science and Technology Department.

"Old Luo, is it mine?"

Xu Nuo turned to look at Colonel Luo Wei and asked.

"Then hand it over first."

Colonel Luo Wei thought for a while, everyone in the crew was watching, and Lao Xu suddenly asked himself this question, which seemed to be a hint, so he said this.

"Guanju."

Xu Nuo motioned to his assistant Wen Ruohan, suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Xiaowen has to deal with a lot of company affairs every day, fortunately I didn't bring her here."

It is precisely because of this consideration that Xu Nuo only brought his AI bionic robot assistant Guan Ju when he came to the nuclear test base this time, instead of Wen Ruohan, he left her in the nuclear test town Shooting on the side of the studio, so that you can handle all kinds of business on the company side.

"Old Xu, you are quite thoughtful."

Colonel Luo Wei praised him.

Then Colonel Luo Wei continued to explain other precautions and details to the crew.

Then Xu Nuo said a few words.

"Everyone just came here today, and the shooting may not be in these two days. In these two days, everyone has a good rest and is actively doing a good job in shooting. We will have some real shots from a safe distance, based on the core of the movie. The explosion of the props is the background, Mann Kidd, you actors must be ready, we only have such a chance to shoot."

As Xu Nuo said, he looked at Mann Kidd and the others who needed to appear under the background shot of the atomic bomb explosion.

"OK."

Mann Kidder nodded.

In fact, it can be seen that he has some psychological pressure.

After all, this is a real atomic bomb explosion. With such a scene as the background board, several of their actors still have real shots. This is not filming in a studio!

Even though it's a safe distance away, who wouldn't feel apprehensive when they hear this posture?
"Mann, don't worry, look at me, the insurance has already been purchased, so relax your mind." Lucas Dionisio said to Mann Kidd with a smile.

Lucas Dionisio plays the commander of the Manhattan project engineering area. If he is conducting the first atomic bomb test, he and Oppenheimer, who was tested by Mann Kidd, will naturally be at the test site. "of.

"Speaking of insurance, our crew has purchased insurance worth hundreds of millions of dollars for you."

Xu Nuo looked at the two of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said.

"It's not about insurance. I'm really a little nervous, but Director Xu, don't worry, I can overcome it."

Mann Kidd wasn't worried about his safety.

It was the kind of tension brought about by the real shooting of the atomic bomb explosion, from the excitement at the beginning to the nervousness, but now Mann Kidd has overcome the tension a lot.

"Actually, it's not that dangerous. I'll take pictures of the mushrooms at a closer distance."

Xu Nuo spread his hands.

"Director Xu, a little closer? Me?" At this time, the cameraman, Lao Zhang, was stunned when he heard the words, and then asked hastily.

"Of course you are filming at a camera point set at a safe distance, I mean I will make other arrangements."

Xu Nuo shook his head.

How could I take the cameramen of the crew to play risky things.

"I buy it, Director Xu, that's Yuan! You must never get close!"

Lucas Dionisio couldn't help being surprised when he heard what Xu Nuo said, although his mentality was very stable.
