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

Chapter 61

"Colonel Luo Wei, an unidentified plane appeared 16 kilometers away."

Base command room.

After Luo Wei heard the report, he glanced at the radar display on the screen and said, "Send a warning."

"This is the XXXX base. Unidentified aircraft, you have entered the no-fly zone. Please identify yourself and fly east out of the zone."

On the base side, a warning was issued through the entire frequency band.

"Colonel, no response."

"We dispatched Veyron 250 and Veyron 16 to intercept at full speed on a heading of [-]. The unidentified plane flew at a low altitude [-] kilometers away and still did not identify itself."

Luo Wei said decisively to the command communication equipment.

"Unidentified aircraft, we will escort you to land at the base, please cooperate with us, if you refuse to cooperate, we will use lethal assault weapons."

Luo Wei continued to warn.

"Colonel, intelligence shows that this is a Condor Helicopter with tail number 07."

"Is there a record of its mission?"

"No, we haven't dispatched No. 07 Condor Helicopter to perform missions in the last month, and we just received news that No. 07 Helicopter and its pilots are on vacation."

"Could it be that the information is wrong? Verify it immediately."

"Verified, one of the pilots on leave is a friend of mine."

Luo Wei frowned suddenly, feeling that something was wrong.

"Okay, click!"

"It was a really good shot."

Xu Nuo, who was sitting in front of the monitoring screen, watched the shooting just now, with a satisfied smile on his face.

It is indeed a serious base command center, highlighting a profession.

In the above scene, Xu Nuo made some changes in the direction of the lines compared to the original version of Mike Bay's "Transformers".

"What about Old Xu, did I show any signs of acting just now?"

Seeing Xu Nuo yelling to stop, Luo Wei turned around and came over to ask.

Xu Nuo filmed "Transformers" in the vertigo base battle scene. In addition to the invited actors, some of the roles were directly played by professionals like Luo Wei.

"There's no acting, it's all professional, especially the demeanor that you felt something was wrong just now, it's in place."

Xu Nuo gave Luo Wei a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "When you retire in the future, Lao Luo, you can definitely play the role of a professional officer in the movie, and perfectly realize the re-employment of retired soldiers."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Luo Wei laughed loudly when he heard this: "Old Xu, you are quite thoughtful, but I'm still early."

Luo Wei is 39 years old this year, and he is a young leader with a bright future. In two years, Luo Wei may be transferred to the Ministry of Military Science and Technology to work.

"It's almost time. I'll prepare and arrange the Straight 8L and two Veyron fighter jets for you. Old Xu, hurry up and make preparations."

Luo Wei checked the time, it was almost sunset.

What Xu Nuo is going to shoot next is the movie shot of the Decepticons flying to the base in a daze.

Vertigo was found on the side of the base that was shot just now, and a warning was issued, which was connected with the scene of vertigo flying to the base, but it was shot separately.

Edited together in the later stage, a complete plot is formed.

"Row."

Xu Nuo nodded in response.

Luo Wei: "You asked the second camera group to prepare to take pictures of the Veyron fighter jets taking off. Today, the two Veyrons only fly this time. If you can't capture the pictures you want, you can only wait until tomorrow Arrange it again."

"Understood, is the direction where the dizzy fly is 1000 meters west of the base?"

"Yes, Lao Xu, I have arranged a car for you, and I will take you there directly when the time comes."

One kilometer west of the base.

In the Gobi desert, several military off-road vehicles pulled Xu Nuo and more than 20 crew members to the best shooting location.

Here, Xu Nuo is going to shoot a shot of vertigo and the glowing red sunset in the same frame.

At this time, in the base, another filming team led by the assistant director He Feiyang was in charge of shooting the scene of two Veyron fighter jets taking off.

"Director He, I've been a cameraman for so many years, and this is the first time I've shot J-20."

Li Wenbin, the cameraman of the second shooting group, said excitedly to the director He Feiyang.

"Who is not the first time?"

He Feiyang was also very excited: "Old Xu, this guy can really do anything, I'm a small butt, open my eyes."

At this time, the two Veyron fighters were ready.

Luo Wei's adjutant came forward and told He Feiyang that it was time to start filming.

"Come on, all departments are in place."

Although He Feiyang is not as professional as Xu Nuo as a director, it is not a problem if he can handle the filming task Xu Nuo entrusted him with to film the takeoff of the Veyron fighter jet.

"Ready."

"Ready."

"Ready."

Seeing that the second filming team was all ready, He Feiyang said to Colonel Luo Wei's adjutant, "Ready."

Soon, the base issued an order for two Veyron fighters to take off.

On the runway, I saw two fighter planes neatly aligned. With the roar of the engines, the fighter planes were like arrows flying off the string. They flew deep into the sky in a short time on the runway and flew towards the sky. The tail flames streaked across the sky. picturesque.

"Okay, everyone performed very well, this shot can be done in one shot."

After the Veyron fighter plane flew away from the camera tracking screen, He Feiyang finished shooting.

It's best to take a shot like this once, otherwise, if you do it again, you will have to send out two Veyron fighter jets again, which will cost a lot of money.

On Xu Nuo's side, five shooting positions were also set up at this time, three on the ground and two in the air, to shoot the dizzying flight from different angles.

After a while, another military off-road vehicle came over, and it was Luo Wei who got out of the vehicle.

"Old Xu, are you ready?"

After getting off the car, Luo Wei came over and asked Xu Nuo.

"Well, everything is ready."

Xu Nuo nodded, and was just waiting for your flight.

So Luo Wei picked up the communicator in his hand and said, "Shendiao No. 1, take off."

On the base side, a Z-8L started to take off and flew towards the intended target point.

Soon it appeared in Xu Nuo's field of vision.

"Uh, Colonel Luo, the plane should still need to go up a little bit."

Xu Nuo looked at the camera, although there is a certain overlap between the Condor Helicopter and the setting sun, but the height of the plane seems to be a bit insufficient, and the image overlap is not very good.

Luo Wei also glanced at the screen on the monitor screen, and then commanded on the spot: "Shendiao No. 1, raise the height by another 100 meters."

The helicopter in the distance began to pull up.

"Drop another 20 meters."

"Yes, yes, this height is not bad."

Seeing this, Xu Nuo was overjoyed.

The picture of the sunset and the vertigo helicopter in the same frame that I want, no matter if it is a long-range shot or a close-up shot, I have it!

"Old Xu, the composition of your picture is really perfect, why don't you come to shoot promotional videos for us by sea, land and air every year?"

After Luo Wei saw the pictures taken by Xu Nuo, he couldn't help but praise.

"Your promotional video? Do you want to pay?"

"Look, there are no other great directors now. If you come, you will definitely give me money."

"Can you earn back the money I gave you this time?"

Xu Nuo was thinking about the money he "burned" at the base this time.

"Then it's not allowed to specify. We have limited funds for making promotional videos. How can you be as rich as Director Xu?"

Luo Wei laughed, shook his head and said.

Luo Wei roughly estimated that if Xu Nuo wanted to shoot all the military scenes of his "Transformers", it would definitely cost hundreds of millions.

This is still in the case of relatively smooth shooting.

After all, the Condor Helicopters and Veyron fighters this time are just appetizers.

The Military Industrial Equipment Administration is already preparing air-to-ground missiles for the Veyron fighter jets for Xu Nuo, each costing 320 million yuan.

Moreover, according to Xu Nuo's "Transformers" script, there will be a series of big scenes such as air early warning aircraft, aircraft carrier formation, and Veyron fleet. It was used in the final city battle scene of "Transformers".

"Director Xu, the aerial drone camera team is already in place."

At this time, Wang Biao, the head of the drone camera team, came to report.

Xu Nuo nodded: "Take the picture from the camera lens of the drone."

On another monitor screen in front of him, the camera lens of the drone photography team appeared, taking pictures of the sculpture in the air.

And later they have another shooting task, that is, according to the plot, two Veyron fighter jets dispatched from the base will escort the unidentified plane to the base in a daze.

In other words.

This Condor Helicopter will be in the same frame as two Veyron fighters later.

The three machines are in the same frame, and military fans and audiences will be lucky when it is released.

Remarks: Some readers said that the Wuzhi-10 used by Vertigo as a prototype is too small. After reading it, it was confirmed, so it was changed to a Z8L heavy-duty helicopter, code-named Shendiao.

Wuzhi-10, codenamed Thunderbolt.

J-20, codenamed Veyron.
