Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 465 "Wolf Warrior" was shot too conservatively

Due to an accident, the "Sisters Over Flowers" program team stopped recording for one day and resumed recording the next day.

In the early morning, before the camera started filming, several female guests gathered around Nazha, winking and murmuring, especially Ning Jing and Qin Lan, who were so excited.

"This complexion is different."

"Everyone looks radiant!"

"I didn't see anyone. Are you tired?"

"..."

Naza was overwhelmed by the ridicule and could only tell the truth with a grimace: "Where are you thinking? Nothing happened. The boss returned to the set last night."

"Isn't it?"

Qin Lan was very doubtful: "I don't want anyone who comes to my door. Wei Yang is not a vegetarian either."

Ning Jing was even more straightforward: "Are you here, or is he dying?"

Jiang Shuying was the more rational one and couldn't laugh or cry: "Sisters, what are you thinking about? Even if you have an idea, there are so many people watching from top to bottom in this program. Boss Wei doesn't care about reputation. He also has to consider the filming of the program after that. ."

If the two of them really did something good directly on the show team, the show team would probably have gossip behind the scenes from the recording to completion.

Wei Yang is lustful, but not impatient, not to mention Nazha is a fish in the net.

I always know how to avoid suspicion when filming, and I almost never spend the night in the hotel where the crew is located, let alone in a crowded show crew.

Only then did Ning Jing and others calm down. Indeed, they only thought about the state of mind of the person involved, but ignored the environment.

"That's not right. You came back to the house after two hours last night, so you were just chatting in the house?"

Just when Ning and Qin felt bored, Jin Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became speechless and refused to stop.

The guests of "Sisters Over Flowers" have limited funds, so they don't all share a room. Basically, they stay in pairs, and the last one stays in a double bed room.

In addition to the two hard-working porters, who among the five female guests was lucky enough to get the king-size bed room in the lottery was also a highlight of the show.

This time when I came to Bangkok, Thailand, Naza and Jin Chen lived in the same room, and they were the people who knew them best. Naza immediately made Naza jump.

"Aren't you asleep?"

"I was asleep originally, but I couldn't help but you kept giggling, so you woke me up."

Jin Chen showed his sinister nature with a smile: "I wanted to ask on the spot, but I was afraid you wouldn't tell me. This time, the eldest, second and third sisters are all here, so hurry up and explain honestly."

"Fourth, well done."

Several other people became energetic, praised Jin Chen, and then continued the interrogation, but this time no matter how hard Nazha forced him, he refused to kill him. There was nothing they could do, but they still refused to forgive him.

"Your face is red, you must have done nothing good!"

"I knew it. My eyes were watery yesterday. Even if Wei Yang can bear it, you little hooves can't."

"Fourth child, did she brush her teeth when she came back last night?"

"Don't move, let me look at your hands."

Na Zhi couldn't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of several fierce sisters, so she raised her hands to surrender. In order to avoid being surrounded, she took out a few wads of bills from her bag to divert her attention.

"Where did it come from?"

Nazhaheheyile: "Don't we have insufficient funds? I borrowed some from the boss and sent it over in the morning."

"50 baht, what's the exchange rate?"

"1:5.5, which would be a little over 9 RMB."

Ning Jing was very happy holding the banknotes. The denomination of the money in her hand was 1000, so although it was 50 baht, it was actually about the same amount as 5 RMB.

"That's enough, that's enough. The consumption here is relatively low, and our funds are absolutely comfortable and enjoyable."

Jiang Shuying was also very happy. He had no experience in Paris before and the budget was spent ahead of schedule on the last day, which made him very embarrassed.

When they came back to Thailand, they originally planned to be prudent, but unexpectedly they invited foreign aid, and now they were able to have fun.

"But, will the program team let me use this money?"

"Why not let it be used? It's not our own money, so it's not enough to borrow it?"

"That's right, this is the income from our hard work. Is it easy..."

Before Qin Lan finished speaking, Naza covered his mouth and tickled him. Ning Jing laughed loudly and distributed the Thai baht to everyone.

"If each person hides one piece, even if he is discovered, the worst he can do is hand over part of it."

"My eldest sister is still smart."

Jin Chen gave a thumbs up, and Nazar finally made Qin Lan tidy up and obeyed him. He took a wad of money and talked about it while dividing it.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. We can just say we borrowed it. If not, we can just say it's making money... I'm talking about buying and selling... buying and selling things to make money."

Seeing that Qin Lan was about to start a scandal again, Nazar hurriedly explained: "I bought a lot of gadgets yesterday. The boss lent me money, so I gave him two. This can be said to be sold to him."

"Good guy, buy it for a few hundred baht and sell it for 50 baht. You two are laundering money here."

"This shows that we, Naza, are good at doing business and have business acumen. That's it. The rules of the program for borrowing money are not mentioned, but it is allowed to make money. The program team has no reason to confiscate our money."

Ning Jing made the decision directly and planned to unite all the guests to take advantage of the loophole. Even the two porters were attracted by her.

Not to mention how the crew of "Sisters Over Flowers" had trouble with a bunch of troublemaking guests, Wei Yang, who had just returned to the crew of "Operation Mekong", also started filming movies.

The plot of "Operation Mekong" is roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage is the cause. The villain Khun Sa attacked a Chinese merchant ship, brutally killed thirteen Chinese crew members, and hid drugs in the ship to confuse the public.

There was an uproar at home and abroad. Faced with the turbulent public opinion, the public security department attached great importance to it and planned to find out the truth.

This case is very complicated, because it is handled in a foreign country, and the official attitude of Thailand is relatively ambiguous, which inevitably makes people wonder whether there may be something fishy behind it. In this case, if Thailand takes the lead in handling the case, China can only watch. Not only will it be unable to punish the murderer, but the innocence of the murdered compatriots may also not be clarified.

Therefore, the public security department is preparing to send a task force, headed by senior criminal police officer Gao Gang, to investigate the truth and arrest the culprit and return him to China for trial.

After that, Fang Xinwu, played by Wei Yang, appeared. He is China's intelligence agent in the Golden Triangle and has mastered many local intelligence networks.

Fang Xinwu was instructed by the superiors to investigate who the murderer was, and to provide various assistance to the investigation team that arrived later.

This stage was almost a one-man show by Fang Xinwu. Through his own intelligence network, various investigations and even using some methods that were not officially recognized, he finally determined who the murderer was.

The last stage is for the Chinese task force to come to Thailand after receiving the intelligence. With the help of Fang Xinwu, they will find the whereabouts of Kunsha who was hiding, and then Fang Xinwu and Gao Gang will lead a surprise arrest.

This scene is the longest, accounting for almost more than half of the scene. It is also the most exciting part of the entire movie, with big scenes such as disguised arrests, gun battles, explosions, car chases, and spaceships coming one after another.

Naturally, these scenes were also the most difficult to film in the entire movie.

Wei Yang's previous action scenes were mainly costume dramas, but this was his first time doing such a large number of modern shootout and explosion scenes, so his experience was limited.

Fortunately, this kind of scene is not a fighting action scene. It mainly depends on the director and on-site scheduling. As long as you get used to it, it is not particularly difficult.

Not to mention, Wei Yang doesn't like fighting scenes very much, but he is pretty good at shooting this type of modern gun fight film.

Various tactical movements are very smooth and neat, and shooting is even more fun. Holding a submachine gun is half a shuttle, clicking, clicking, and it feels like a real CS.

Zhang Hanyu, who co-stars with him, has previously filmed war films such as "Assembly" and has more experience in filming this kind of film than Wei Yang.

I taught a lot of skills privately, which have nothing to do with actual combat, but are more convenient for on-site shooting, such as which actions make you look more handsome and chic.

"Change magazines!"

During the filming break, Zhang Hanyu smoked a cigarette and boasted: "I heard this from a Hollywood buddy. There are only a few shooting techniques. In fact, there is nothing new, but if you change the magazine well, you will look professional all of a sudden. ”

A teammate actor next to him also nodded: "Some people over there in Xiangjiang also said the same thing, but we don't have enough magazines to change over there."

Wei Yang understood that it was an old problem in Hong Kong movies, unlimited bullets, and the Gatling effect of the revolver.

Not only Hong Kong movies, but also many domestic dramas do this. Shooting battles rarely require changing bullets, and action movies that can change bullets in a timely manner can be singled out and praised by film critics.

But there is one thing to say, sometimes it’s not that the directors don’t understand the principle of [bullets will be destroyed], but that this logic is sacrificed for the sake of continuity and pictures.

It's like when a gang goes to war, one of them possesses Yan Shuangying, uses two pistols to fire various outputs, and one person suppresses dozens of people and beats them. It's definitely satisfying for the audience's senses.

But if "Yan Shuangying" fires a few shots and then squats down to change bullets, the realism will increase, but the crushing feeling will no longer exist.

Wei Yang is a veteran in filming. He understands these principles very well. Film and television need to be processed artistically. Filming strictly and realistically will not be friendly to many viewers.

This is also true for "Operation Mekong", which is a successful commercial film with a main theme.

Since the word [business] is mentioned, you know that there are many fictional elements in it.

So despite the excitement of the fight in the movie, which involves robbing the old man's nest, big explosions, and even a helicopter coming out at the end, in fact, in the prototype case, there is no action scene at all in this case.

From beginning to end, it was more of a competition between several forces.

Rather than solving the case, it is better to say that China exerted diplomatic pressure and sent a special task force to investigate, forcing relevant people to hand over the murderer, while Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos blamed each other.

You know, of the 12 prototype criminals, 9 were active military personnel in Thailand. Later, they voluntarily surrendered under pressure.

As for the main culprit Nuokang, he was more looking for people. He didn't know where he was hiding. Through various investigations and arrests, he got close to his confidants, gradually narrowed the scope of his activities, and finally came to arrest him.

Therefore, this [Khun Sa], who is extremely fierce in the movie, even dared to send people to blow up the embassy, ​​is really too flattering. In reality, he is actually a stinky rat hiding in the underground tunnel.

But the truth is the truth. If we really shoot according to the real prototype, those who are too sensitive will not be allowed to shoot. If we can shoot, it will be a bit boring.

Therefore, if you want to seek commercial success and widespread publicity, you still have to follow the path of "Operation Mekong" and the audience will love to watch it.

Speaking of this, Wei Yang also remembered the story of the wolf warriors in northern Myanmar.

When electronic fraud was rampant in a previous life, many people ridiculed Wu Jing, and some people really thought about how to solve it. For example, they suggested sending a small group of elite troops to rescue people or behead them like in "Operation Mekong".

However, later it turned out that the four major families were really blown too much by the marketing trumpet.

They also rescued by force. The real awesomeness depends on the call. A few wanted posters were killed and stripped naked and sent over. Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" was shot too conservatively...

"Operation Mekong" also has this problem. It looks exciting and exciting, but in fact, compared with the operation of the prototype case, it is somewhat naive and taken for granted.

If the superiors are willing to relax their standards and leave it to Wei Yang to take pictures, he will focus mainly on the upper-level game.

How the foreign affairs and relevant departments exerted strong pressure, how the top leaders of several countries were overwhelmed, blamed each other, tried to play tricks but were warned by the Chinese side. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore, they were honest with others, bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Actually it was shot like this. If the rhythm and details are handled well, the feeling will be no less satisfying than those action blockbusters.

Korean audiences have a lot to say in this regard. They like to see how the Cheong Wa Dae toughens China, calls out America's father, ravages Japan, and realizes the dream of the Republic of Korea becoming the world's third most powerful country.

It's just that Koreans are dreaming, but China can really do this, and it will be even more exaggerated in a few years.

Wei Yang really felt that the main theme promotion of "Wolf Warrior" was a bit childish compared to some of the real things that happened later.

Great powers are the way to go!

However, although this kind of subject matter will definitely be popular, if it does not meet the above requirements, it will definitely not pass the review.

Therefore, no matter how much Wei Yang wanted to film "Rogue Rabbit", one of the five permanent members, he could only film "Good Rabbit", a true, good and beautiful film that conforms to the mainstream publicity. He suppressed all his thoughts about "Operation Mekong" and honestly followed the action film path.

Even so, Wei Yang did not give up completely. The public security department and diplomacy scenes in the movie were more serious and domineering than the original version.

Initially, the director and screenwriter had some objections, but then Wei Yang persuaded them with information and documentaries.

During the stalemate stage of the prototype case, the domestic military announced through the media - [The public security will be responsible for the specific actions in this case, and we can also provide support if necessary].

Translated: Now I'm giving you face, be sure to keep it in your pocket, or else I'll slap you to death.

Compared with the prototype case, even after Wei Yang's changes, the relevant plot is somewhat restrained.

It’s not that Wei Yang didn’t dare to write, but that the public security department and Shanghai Film Studio stopped him. There are some things that can be done, but it’s hard to say clearly. Rabbit is still used to making a fortune in silence...
