Full-time actor

Chapter 663 [89] Trembling in the sky!
"Chen Yu successfully climbed to the top of the world's tallest building - Taipei 101!"

"Chen Yu's new film "Operation Spy" challenges the limits and climbs the world's tallest building!"

"Conquer! Chen Yu climbed to the top of the 101-meter skyscraper in the north of the island with his bare hands!"

……

Just one day later, many media outlets not only in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, but also in Japan and South Korea published the news that Chen Yu climbed to the top floor of Taipei 101.

Just yesterday, after several attempts, Chen Yu, together with Aaron Robert, climbed to the top of the Taipei 101 building with bare hands, and even took several selfies at the summit.

Of course, Chen Yu has corresponding security measures, including two secure safety ropes.

Unlike Aaron, this guy is unarmed and has no protection.

Moreover, starting from the morning, it only took half a day to climb directly to the roof of the 508-meter building, which seemed extremely easy.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling.

There was no way. One was a professional and had climbed it once. In Aaron's words, it was a tall building that he had conquered once, and the second time would become very easy.

Chen Yu is trying it for the first time and is an amateur player.

In fact, for a beginner, such an achievement is already considered very talented, otherwise Aaron would not have encouraged Chen Yu to move towards a professional career for no reason.

Of course, Chen Yu had no interest in this. He climbed the stairs just to... make a movie.

"Are you ready, chan?"

Director Brad Bird looked at Chen Yu.

What they are going to shoot next is, of course, the most thrilling segment in "Invisible Spy".

Outside the Taipei 101 building, the protagonist Chen Long, played by Chen Yu, needs to climb to the computer room on the 99th floor to carry out his mission.

Because the computer room cannot be entered from the inside, and there are surveillance and infrared, this is the only way.

"Try it, huh~~~"

To be honest, Chen Yu was not nervous at all, but felt very excited instead.

And this time, for the sake of this part of the plot, the director team also brought in a big guy - an IMAX film camera, which will be aimed at Chen Yu throughout the entire process.

"Ok, come on, let's see who is the most courageous actor in the world!"

“What a thrilling scene he will film!”

"gogogo!"

Everyone in the crew got to work, and many people were obviously looking forward to the next part.

Chen Yu began to put on filming equipment and various protective devices.

"..."

Liu Yifei, who was standing by, bit her lip, looking distressed, with worry all over her face.

Everyone else in the crew, including Chen Yu himself, was only thinking about how to make the filming look good and exciting. Only she was actually worried that Chen Yu might have an accident.

This is outside a building that is several hundred meters high, and there are only two very thin safety ropes tied around it. If something happens, they may not be able to hold people back.

At least, Liu Yifei would think so.

But she knew that now was not the time to comfort or distract Chen Yu. He was already worried about gains and losses before the filming even started. This would disrupt the morale of the army before a battle.

So Liu Yifei was surprisingly silent, and her face became more and more embarrassed.

If you want to make a name for yourself in Hollywood, you either have to work hard or accept some so-called unspoken rules and cater to the circle.

Chen Yu didn't want to do that, so he could only fight for his own path like Cheng Long did.

Soon, everyone was in place.

"Ok, Bird, the position is fixed!"

"Same here!"

"It's time to start!"

The photography team, the stunt team, the director team... After everyone checked several times, Bird looked at the fully armed Chen Yu, and Chen Yu nodded at him.

He wore a pair of windproof glasses and carried two ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber ropes on his back. These ropes were stronger and thinner than the Kevlar ropes currently used in China.

This is the most high-tech safety rope in the world, with the highest specific strength and specific modulus fiber.

It is more than ten times that of steel wire with the same cross-section, its specific modulus is second only to special grade carbon fiber, and it has outstanding impact resistance and cut resistance.

And it has a strong ability to absorb energy.

This type of rope is currently generally used in national defense and aviation, and is rarely used in high-altitude photography.

Because the price is high and the cost is expensive.

"action!"

Brad Bird gestured to Chen Yu, and the filming officially began.

This part is a bit like a documentary, and we can just edit it when the time comes.

According to the plot, Chen Yu began to wear high-tech suction gloves.

In fact, this pair of gloves is completely useless and has no adsorption capacity. Special effects have to be used in later stages to highlight the high-tech nature of this pair of gloves.

But in fact, it is just a pair of ordinary gloves with exaggerated shape.

The glass on the exterior wall of the floor they filmed had been removed, revealing a huge gap. If you took a step outside, you would fall directly to the bottom of the building. It was completely empty.

Wow!
The wind was blowing high in the sky outside. Chen Yu gritted his teeth and walked out step by step.

Several staff members were pulling the ropes, fearing for any unexpected events.

Chen Yu placed one hand on the glass steps of the outer wall next to him, and then with the help of others, he finally lay on the glass outside and secured himself with his feet.

At the same time, the safety rope was pulled straight, making a creaking sound.

At this moment, Chen Yu's mind was blank.

Whenever he looked down, he knew that it was a hundred meters high, and he was standing alone on the outer wall of the 101 building without any support.

Just seeing this scene, Liu Yifei's legs began to tremble.

Really, this is completely different from Chen Yu climbing up from the bottom of the building.

This is a high-altitude fixed position, climbing upwards, and the key is to perform additional stunts, which is an extremely difficult test for the actors.

Even though Chen Yu had simulated it many times, he was still extremely cautious during the actual filming.

"Huchi~~Huchi~~"

Chen Yu was adjusting his breathing rhythm.

There is no room for NGs in what we are going to shoot next, it would be best if we can get it right in one take!

Because the more NGs there are, the greater the psychological test and pressure on the actors, and it also means the higher the danger.

"That's it!"

Chen Yu encouraged himself, and then imagined the contents of the script and the scene in his previous life where Tom Cruise filmed this scene in "Mission Impossible 4". He separated one hand from the outer glass of the building and pretended to try to absorb the performance of the high-tech gloves.

At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the 99th floor in the sky, confirming the final distance there.

"Camera, push forward!"

"Chan is starting to get into the swing of things!"

Everyone knows that Chen Yu has begun to get into the role and has officially entered into the identity of Chen Long's agent.

Just now he was Chen Yu, and now he is the leading male role of “The Man from Shanghai” - Chen Long!
Snapped!
After checking his suction gloves, Chen Yu slammed the glass on the wall above.

Zi~~
He seemed to be fixed in place and shook a little. This was obviously to highlight the high-tech nature of the suction gloves, which sucked him to the outer wall.

But in fact, there are staff members below to support him.

One step... two steps... Chen Yu climbed very steadily.

The staff also began to loosen the pads, allowing Chen Yu to truly climb the outer wall alone.

This was all thanks to Aaron's training, and he had a lot of experience in performing extreme work outside the wall.

Snapped!Snapped!
Chen Yu seemed to be relying on gloves to move up floor by floor, but in fact, it was his feet and hands that were exerting force, and the safety rope hanging above was pulling him to the 99th floor.

Sudden--

After climbing two floors, Chen Yu turned around and looked towards the treasure island not far away.

A high-definition portable camera fixed above his head captured the scene very clearly.

Higher up is an IMAX camera lens assembly.

What is written in the script here is... we encountered a typhoon!
When Chen Long was climbing up to the 101th floor of Formosa 99, a typhoon and tsunami swept through Formosa, accompanied by slight earthquakes on the ground. This caused the 101 building to shake, and there were also strong winds blowing wildly in the sky. Of course, all of this needed to be accomplished through special effects.

But Chen Yu had to act all of this out.

"Hurry up!"

He had to speed up and climb up, and Chen Yu's expression became visibly tense.

The speed of hands and feet also increases at the same time.

The pulling of the safety rope also became faster.

slam-la-

In the distance, a drone with a high-definition DV strapped to it was also filming the entire exterior scene of Chen Yu climbing the building.

Just at this moment, when Chen Yu's right hand was slapping the glass on the outer wall of the building, his hand suddenly slipped.

In fact, many people, including Liu Yifei and Bird, had been staring at the surveillance cameras since Chen Yu climbed to the outer wall, fearing that Chen Yu might encounter something.

This slip of the hand also made Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out a cry.

She really thought that Chen Yu had encountered something, but when she came to her senses she realized that she was overly nervous.

Of course Liu Yifei has read the script, and there is actually this part in it, the detail of the gloves running out of battery and malfunctioning.

Bird beside him hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, this is required by the plot... this is required by the plot!"

Zizzi~~
Chen Yu tried to tap the wall a few more times with his right hand. The glove issued three alarms and the color changed from green to red.

"what--"

Chen Yu screamed, and the next second his right hand dropped down, just like a person really falling.

Wow!
This thrilling scene scared many people, including Bird and Liu Yifei, even though they knew Chen Yu was acting.

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and dared not look at all.

Chen Yu had one hand hanging there alone, gasping for breath.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s acting or real... because no one can tell the difference, only Chen Yu himself knows.

"Drink!"

He raised his right hand slightly and tried to climb up again, but the alarm sound from the glove made him use his teeth to take off the glove on his right hand and then threw it away.

In this way, with one hand wearing a glove and the other hand empty, he continued to move towards the 99th floor.

pat!

Unexpectedly, the glove he threw out was directly attached to the glass wall next to it.

Chen Yu finally crawled to the glass and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the gloves.

"Hahaha!"

Several people watching the monitor couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, there are ropes stuck to the gloves, and they are manually controlled.

However, this humorous plot adds a bit of fun and relief to the tense atmosphere... and the effect is obviously very good.

This was the script written by Chen Yu himself, and Bird was indeed quite satisfied with this detail.

He had anticipated that the audience would laugh at this scene after the movie was officially released.

The key point is that the glove did not stay on the glass for long. It was blown away by the wind and bounced to the glass below, where it was stuck... It was blown away again, and stuck again, and finally turned into a black shadow and fell from the sky.

This is a very montage-like shooting technique, with a lot of things highlighted.

There was the thrill of heights, the difficulty of climbing, the rising typhoon... but in the end, Chen Yu still climbed to the 99th floor.

After confirming that the floor was correct, Chen Yu raised his left hand wearing a suction glove and pressed it against the glass. He looked inside the floor and said, "We've reached the target floor!"

"Ok!"

"Take a break, the most thrilling and difficult part is still to come!"

"be prepared!"

Bird was talking to Chen Yu on the walkie-talkie, and Chen Yu was wearing a headset. There was also a scene of intercom in the plot.

"it is good!"

Chen Yu took a few quick breaths, and a few minutes later, the filming continued.

He was leaning one foot against the steel frame of the exterior wall of the 101 building, holding a cutting laser knife in his hand, trying to cut the exterior glass of the 99th floor, looking very professional.

But halfway through the cutting, the laser suddenly flashed, and Chen Yu subconsciously turned his head to avoid it.

"Wow!"

He fell directly towards the Taipei 101 building with a laser gun on his head.

"..."

Everyone in the audience felt collectively suffocated at this moment.

Although everyone knew that this was a plot in a movie, they were still caught off guard when they actually saw Chen Yu's sudden action.

My heart is already in knots.

Fortunately, the staff in charge of the safety rope put in a lot of effort to pull the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber rope.

Chen Yu's life and property depend on these two ropes.

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and her face turned pale.

Really, she didn't dare to watch this video at all. Her heartbeat quickened and she covered her chest, feeling like she couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, high technology is still reliable.

Although Chen Yu fell from a high altitude, he did not forget that he was filming and pretended to raise the suction gloves in his hands.

Snapped!
He subconsciously pressed himself against the exterior glass, and at that moment the safety rope was pulled!

boom!
Chen Yu's cheek and chest came into close contact with the exterior glass.

"Fuck!"

He gasped in pain, his entire chest burning.

He once again stuck to the outer wall of the Taipei 101 building.

"Chan, are you okay?"

Director Bird was shouting, and Chen Yu slowed down, stabilized his body, and then shouted: "It's okay, it's safe!"

boom--

At this moment, the entire crew cheered.

This section, the most difficult one, was finally filmed.

Next, Chen Yu kicked the cut arc glass directly on the outer wall and rolled it into the corridor on the 99th floor.

This is actually relatively simpler.

Because there was a safety rope pulling him, Chen Yu only needed to pretend.

Sure enough, 5 minutes later, Chen Yu crashed into the 99th floor and rolled to the ground.

clap clap clap!
The crowd kept clapping and cheering, and some were even whistling for the clip that Chen Yu had just filmed.

One pass.

Perfect play and performance.

Under such thrilling and difficult circumstances, Chen Yu was able to perform so brilliantly. Not only the entire crew, but also director Bird and several leading actors were completely impressed by him.

Everyone looked at Chen Yu with extreme surprise.

Abroad, you have to earn your own reputation.

Chen Yu conquered the crew and these Hollywood stars with his actions.

"awesome!"

“I really don’t have words to describe it!”

“It’s hard to imagine that you could shoot a scene like this in one take!”

Bird had confirmed it several times in front of the monitor before he looked up at Chen Yu in surprise!
