This director needs to apologize

Chapter 108 Storm Volley
Paul and Sang Ping didn't hear Chen Yiming's soliloquy clearly. Sang Ping asked, "Xiao Chen, what are you talking about? What should I copy?"

Chen Yiming covered it up and said, "I mean we are too greedy. 18 guns is obviously too much. In fact, there is no need to use so many!"

Sang Ping became anxious when he heard this, "Ladu has been pulled over and the position has been set up. Wouldn't it be a pity not to film it? If this scene is filmed, it can become a classic."

Chen Yiming quickly comforted the old comrade, "I know, Teacher Sang. We have walked 99 steps, and I will definitely not back down with this last tremor. Just wait for me to think about it."

But his mind was completely confused, and he couldn't think of a way to shoot better than his predecessors.

At this moment, a group of people came from far away, led by Professor Sha and a middle-aged man wearing field training uniforms. Yang Xiaoguang walked behind Professor Sha, and there were several younger people walking alongside him. of soldiers.

The two groups met at the top of the mound. Professor Sha introduced, "Yi Ming, this is Lieutenant Colonel Yang, the deputy commander of an artillery regiment of the Imperial Military Region, and the leading officer of this artillery drill."

Chen Yiming quickly stretched out his hands and shook hands with Lieutenant Colonel Yang who also reached out.

"You are so sweet, I have worked so hard for you these past few days."

Lieutenant Colonel Yang is a kind person with a very cordial attitude. "It's just a normal thing to do weapons testing in another place. Director Chen, you don't have to be polite."

"It's really hard for the soldiers living in the wild. We brought some condolences, which is disrespectful."

Lieutenant Colonel Yang was quite embarrassed when he heard this. He seemed to feel that he could not reciprocate in return. After thinking about it, he actually said, "Director Chen, how about I make arrangements and let you feel it by firing a few shots.

Don't worry, there are enough blank ammunition. This time, in addition to the test ammunition provided by the ordnance industry, we also pulled several trucks ourselves to train and prepare ammunition. "

This was an unexpected surprise, as there was no need for the crew to buy additional shells.

Lieutenant Colonel Yang immediately led his men to the command post, and Chen Yiming said to Lao Duan and the three of them, "It is a rare opportunity to adapt in advance. Let's retreat to the starting position of this shot and let our ears truly feel the close range bombardment."

So everyone got off the mound and walked south, retreating to a position 1 kilometer away from the artillery position, and waited for the artillery to be fired.

After about 10 minutes, a muffled sound came. Everyone looked up at the sky and could vaguely see the rising smoke.

According to the previous rehearsal, the master and apprentice moved forward to the mound with a distance of 3 meters in tandem. Paul was also very serious, going around and around to simulate shooting, almost without actually carrying a camera.

Starting from the first cannon shot, there must be another cannon shot every 15 seconds.

As the distance gradually got closer, the sound of "Hang, Bang" shelling became sharper and clearer.

The old man in front of him was already lying on the ground, using the cover of the grass to move towards the top of the hill little by little. He deliberately avoided the two sentries at the top and headed towards a sunken saddle.

"Hang", another cannon shot came. After waiting for 10 seconds, Xiao Liu also touched the top of the hill, and then the two of them slowly poked their heads out.

"Hang on", the next gunshot sounded on time after 5 seconds.

Classmate Xiao Liu's raised upper body froze there. Old Duan was also stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and immediately rushed over and pushed Xiao Liu to the ground.

Everyone standing behind the two people was very surprised. Chen Yiming asked directly, "Mumu, were you hit by the immobilization spell just now? If there was a real war, you would have been discovered."

Liu Dongjun turned around, with an extremely excited expression on his face, "Director Chen, is it so enjoyable to have sex?"

Chen Yiming was speechless. Children, please pay attention to your words. You are not yet underage!
When Lao Duan turned around, he was calm and relaxed, but his words still revealed his inner feelings to some extent.

"The formation of close-range shelling is indeed different. The mortars seen at the station are completely different from this big pipe."

Liu Dongjun responded excitedly, "9494, the muzzle flash is so hot, it's too fierce!"

It's not that bad. Chen Yiming took a few steps and stood directly at the top.

A few seconds later, I saw the second row of the gun array approaching the mound. A puff of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the third gun, forming two large lead-gray cotton balls at high speed, mixed with bursts of fire. .

Then he heard a crisp "crack" sound. Without the obstruction of the mountain, the sound directly hit his eardrums, causing him to buzz unpreparedly.

"Holy shit," Chen Yiming was also stunned at that moment, and it took a while before he sighed word by word.

Liu Dongjun also stood up at this time, shouting at Chen Yiming for approval, "That's right, Thai pants are hot, this is called a man's romance."

Lao Duan was just a jerk, "If you go back a little bit, your little brat knows nothing about romance."

Although Paul is a fan of "Shoot Every Day", this was his first time experiencing sex at close range. He was also extremely shocked, and immediately started singing a long series of songs.

"Chen, I can't imagine what a spectacular sight it would be if 18 cannons spit out flames at the same time."

Chen Yiming thought for a moment and then shook his head, "Our lens can restore the muzzle flames, but it cannot reproduce the pressure at close range. This is not what a camera can do.

At that moment, I had some ideas.

You think, what would happen if we kept hearing the sound but not seeing the form to the end, suppressing the muzzle flashes of more than a dozen rounds until the last moment amid the approaching sound of artillery? "

Sang Ping closed his eyes and deduced for a long time before slowly nodding his head, "It's very innovative, but the actual effect still needs to be tested."

Paul reacted quickly after listening to Xiangrui's translation, "Chen, you gave me a great inspiration. I thought about how to shoot that shot. I had to dig a deep hole to make the angle of view as low as possible to capture more muzzle blast."

The single-shot shelling stopped after two rounds. Lieutenant Colonel Yang did not come over, presumably because he was busy with the test.

The crew returned to the starting point of the scene and redesigned the movement and camera movements based on the ideas just now.Paul's thoughts were now flowing, and he had new ideas.

"Chen, there is a way to make the audience ignore the height of the mound."

Chen Yiming blurted out, "View from above!"

After Xiangrui translated, Paul smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Are you really addicted to hanging on the river these days?"

"Chen, to be honest, it's not very comfortable hanging up there, but when I think about the beauty of the camera, it doesn't matter."

Chen Yiming walked back and forth several times, inspecting the environment on the reverse slope of the mound in detail, and silently evaluated whether he could hang Wia.

This area is full of dwarf trees as thick as a calf, which will definitely not be able to support the steel cable. If you want to lift the wire, you will have to drive additional piles.

The distance between the trees is not that far apart. It might be feasible to borrow trees to drive piles. The details will have to be discussed with Lu Ping and the others.

Putting this matter aside for now, Chen Yiming led a group of people all the way west along the reverse slope of the mound.

As the height continued to decrease, the vegetation gradually became sparse, and the two masters and apprentices who were crawling forward could no longer hide themselves.

Chen Yiming called Yang Xiaoguang to say a few words and asked him to tell Lieutenant Colonel Yang.

The current location of everyone is at the end of the mound, which is almost a low ridge. Lying on the ground, you can even hear the voices of the gunners behind the ridge.

Paul repeatedly adjusted his position nearby, looking for a position that could accommodate more artillery at once.

Chen Yiming asked Professor Sha, "Teacher Sha, I see that the distance between the artillery on the position seems to be 30 to [-] meters. Can it be closer so that the artillery group can be closer together?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Sha shook his head repeatedly, "Xiao Chen, I understand what you are thinking. In fact, when we built the position, we also thought that the current distance is already the minimum safe distance for firing blank ammunition.

If you get any closer, the muzzle storms will influence each other and the soldiers operating the cannon will be in danger. "

Chen Yiming immediately shut up. Shooting with live ammunition was already an unreasonable requirement. To allow the soldiers to take risks again was to push the envelope. He still had some AC points.

Right here, "Boom, boom, boom", a dense burst of gunfire sound almost merged into one and came simultaneously, and clouds of smoke erupted in the air and merged into one at an extremely fast speed, turning into a huge umbrella canopy.

Lieutenant Colonel Yang showed off his generosity, firing a salvo of 18 artillery pieces, which was as powerful as the earth shattering.

Paul was shaking with excitement. He lay on his back under the ridge, his hands forming a rectangular shape and swinging back and forth, mumbling something in his mouth while shaking.

Chen Yiming turned up the volume and asked Xiangrui, "What is he talking about?"

Xiangrui shouted at the top of his lungs, "What did you say?"

Well, everyone's ears were blown away, so there's no need to ask anymore.

After an interval of 30 seconds, there was another salvo.

This time, he was mentally prepared. Chen Yiming covered his ears and lay down next to Paul, looking up at the distant gun barrels.

Seen from this angle, the artillery group 200 meters away looks like fallen cornstalks.

However, when the artillery was fired, the black-red fireball that suddenly erupted instantly turned the world upside down, making people feel as if they were at the bottom of hell.

Paul shouted excitedly, "LOWER, LOWER". No need for auspicious translation, Chen Yiming also knew that he wanted a lower perspective.

When the shelling stopped, everyone stood on the ridge and watched the soldiers running around and busy in the artillery position.

I have to say that doing art does require a little stimulation from time to time, otherwise there will be no inspiration.

After an hour of on-site shooting, everyone had some unusual feelings.

Not only Chen Yiming and the two photographers, but also Duan Yining and Liu Dongjun crawled around on the ground and gained a lot of insights.

As Lao Duan said, when planning his movements at the beginning, he habitually walked in the direction of holding his breath for fear of alarming the enemy.

Now that I have entered the environment of the artillery launch, I realize that I took it too much for granted at the beginning. As long as the enemy is not directly facing the deafening movement, it is difficult to detect it no matter how hard the enemy tries.

Chen Yiming also roughly determined tomorrow's "construction" plan with the photography team and props team.

First, set up steel cables on the reverse slope of the mound, modify the suspension plate, and make preparations for lifting the wire.

Next, dig a hole at the end of the ridge to create a low camera position for the high-facing scene.

Third, dense grass must be planted in the southwest of the artillery position to create a rational retreat for the master and apprentice in front of the enemy.

The installation and debugging of the equipment will take at least 2 to 3 days, and time must be reserved for on-site rehearsals. This scene will be filmed before the end of March.

This means that the project progress will be significantly behind the production schedule!
