I'm not just an action star

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is in theaters.

"Latent 3" started filming.

"Reaper 5" started filming.

"Fast and Furious 2" is in the works.The preparatory work was assisted by the relevant plot personnel of Weiner Films, and Tom was in charge of hosting the work.

Wu Long returned to China to continue filming "Tiansha-Earth Strikes Back".

The film "Sky Fiend-Earth Strikes Back" is a multi-protagonist film.The fighter pilot played by Wu Long is not the only protagonist.

Zhang Zikang, who plays the country's supreme conductor, is one of the protagonists.

The role of David, the original computer engineer, was replaced by Wu Long.Zhao Liying plays a young computer engineer, who is in a relationship with Wu Long in the movie.

In this way, there will be no plot such as the original protagonist going back to find his wife and bringing back the president's wife by the way.There is no original plot of the president's wife, which avoids some troubles brought to the movie for some reasons.

"Heavenly Fiend-Earth Strikes Back" was almost finished filming before Wu Long came to Hao Lai Hu, and Wu Long filmed his own part first.The plot without him will be filmed by Guo Hao, and he will check it when he comes back.

It took nearly two months to complete the production of "Tiansha-Earth Strikes Back".

Guo Hao and Xing Zhongfei will complete the subsequent work of submitting for review and publishing.

Wu Long flew to Miami to start shooting "Fast and Furious 2".

First the literary drama and then the action drama.

With detailed storyboards, I have a completed movie in mind.As long as it is shot according to the original version, Wu Long can finish it quickly.The actors who come here are quite dedicated in their performances. Most of them are online in acting, and they can usually pass one.

When Wu Long was filming, there were no extra shots.There is no need to shoot multiple shots in one group, so that you can choose the right lens for post-production.He already knows what the finished film looks like, knows which lens to use, and will not take extra shots.

This saves him a lot of time and money.

After filming literary dramas, action scenes, that is, car chases and racing scenes.

Racing scenes, first of all those unimportant racing scenes.For example, it is relatively simple for a racing car to win the opponent's car.

Wu Long used a drone to look down and take a shot to the end, and multiple sets of high-definition cameras in the car shot synchronously.

He himself was all real shots, the other three actors were real shots of the faces inside the car, and other gear changes, front and rear shots were all shot by stuntmen.

In other words, it takes two shots.

The first time is that real actors really drive, but it's not so intense, and it doesn't need to drive too fast.The actor changes gears when and what the stuntman says.What kind of expression performance should be done according to the script.

The second time is the real racing of Wu Long and car stuntmen, followed by drones.

From when Tej Parker, the host in charge of racing betting, shouted the beginning, until the four cars were completely finished.

In the first round of competition in the middle, the opponent made small moves, shooting directly and continuously, without stopping in the middle, interspersing or editing shots.

In the second round, Wu Long collided with the opponent and drove away, and finally the opponent gave way.It is also shot in one shot, without stopping in the middle.

This kind of overhead shooting can capture Wu Long's driving position and driving route, all of which are so perfect.Especially the 180-degree U-turn, it is almost like there is a central axis pulling the car to turn around.

All four cars have 180-degree U-turns.It can be seen from this that Wu Long's U-turn is the most perfect, followed by Ross, the car stunt captain of Roman Pierce, the stand-in second protagonist.The other two car stunt performers ranked third and fourth respectively.

If there are only side shots or shots from the inside of the car to the outside of the car, it is difficult to distinguish the pros and cons of the technology.

This kind of overhead shooting in the air can be seen at once.

Wu Long's driving skills are as smooth and natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, pleasing to the eye.

After the filming of this scene, Wu Long plans to use split screen part of the time during the screening.

Half of the picture is an overhead shot to the end, and this picture is always maintained, allowing the audience to see the authenticity and excitement of this racing car.And it was nighttime, which was especially thrilling.

Half of the pictures are shots inside the car, such as the driver changing gears, such as character expressions and performances.For example, when making a 180-degree U-turn, No. 1 in the car said that the angle of view is looking out, that kind of sense of rotation that the scenery outside the car is rapidly rotating around.

After the racing scene was finished, we started filming the opening racing scene of the movie.

The results of the original version were not good. The biggest problem was that it failed to capture that sense of speed.It just doesn't look like the speed of the car is fast enough, and it's not thrilling enough.

The competition between cars is not shown strongly, and more pictures are the expressions of the characters in the car.

But when you watch racing cars, you see speed and cars, not to see your actors sitting in the cab and pretending to drive.

Can the racing fans who watch the racing cars in the real racing track see the expressions of the drivers in the cab?To see is also the thrill of looking out from the first perspective in the cab.

If Wu Long wants to keep the box office from hitting the market, he must change.

This racing scene is roughly divided into five parts, that is, five shootings.There are also drones tracking overhead shots, and multiple high-definition cameras in the car to capture shots from multiple angles.

"Sura Wushen"

In addition, camera positions on both sides of the sports car were specially installed for shooting, and a camera car was used for tracking and shooting.

Engage in such a complicated, without green screen shooting, is the pursuit of realism.

The first shot was to get shots of the sides of the sports car.

For this shooting, all car stuntmen drove the race, and the drone tracking and overhead shots were only played as end-credits scenes, because there are camera positions on both sides of the sports car, it is impossible to put it in the official movie.

For this part of the shooting, it was impossible to start shooting.Because the start has to be side by side, and the sports cars on both sides are installed, it is impossible to drive the starting cars in a row, and it is easy to bump into each other.

The filming is the stage after the distance is pulled out, so, after the sequence is arranged in advance, the filming starts.

In the plot arrangement, the female driver and the hat brother competed for each other in the first two cars, and Wu Long and the bearded brother competed for the first two cars.

After the first corner, Brother Beard grabbed No.1 and Wu Long was second.

Behind is the hat brother who takes the lead and ranks third, and the female driver is at the end.

After shooting this part, the camera positions on both sides of the sports car were removed, and the actors began to shoot.All the drivers and actors who have a specific shot have participated in Rose's basic training in car stunts before shooting.The main purpose is to let the actors face the camera to capture the background during the official shooting, so that the audience can feel real.

After the second part is filmed, the third part will be filmed.

This part is car stuntmen racing according to the plot.Extreme speed is not required, but a sense of speed and speed is required, which is faster than ordinary driving.

There are a total of three camera cars in the back.Sometimes all three camera cars are at the end side by side, sometimes two camera cars are at the end and one is on the side of the car.Sometimes, two camera cars chased on both sides of the car, and one camera car chased at the end.

In the fourth part of the shooting, there is no camera car to follow and only drones to follow and shoot.

Still the same route, the same racing according to the script.

The fifth part is the leap across the bridge.

In this part of the plot, the hat brother was afraid and did not make a leap.The female driver made the leap, but a stand-in made by a female car stuntman completed the leap.

Of course, it is not really a direct leap and a hard landing.That's definitely not possible, it's easy to have an accident.Even if there are no accidents, the vibration during landing is enough to cause problems for the driver due to excessive impact force.

During the actual shooting, there will be a cushion on the landing end, and the computer will be used to synthesize the landing screen in the later stage.

The female drivers are better to shoot, so they should be taken separately.When shooting on the ground, drive the car on a slant that is not too high, and after flying up, you can shoot the shot on the ground.

The most difficult thing is that Wu Long has to overtake the previous car in the flying air.

In advance, Wu Long and Rose's car stunt team built a ramp of the same length and slope to test how fast the jump will be, where it will land, and what height and angle it will be in the air.

All these tests were filmed by cameras and recorded into the computer.

Then jump out at a faster speed, calculate the height and angle in the air, and where the landing point is.

After multiple sets of data tests, select two with a large difference, and merge the data in the computer to play synchronously.

In this way, two groups of vehicles that were not in the same time and space originally appeared in the same time and space in the computer at the same time.

Through such experiments, two sets of data were obtained.

When to start accelerating, what speed should the two cars maintain one after the other.At what point and at what speed, precise control is required.

In fact, the safer and safer method is that the two vehicles are not in the same lane.In this way, there is no need to worry about the collision of two vehicles.

But in this way, it seems less exciting and thrilling.

If it's not exciting or thrilling, how can the audience buy it?How to highlight the advantages of Wu Long's movies?

Thinking of Wu Long's previous life, the once brilliant martial arts action movies on Hong Kong Island conquered movie fans all over the world with the selling point of jumping from a building.

Even the stuntmen in Hollywood, seeing the action scenes of Hong Kong Island Dragon and Tiger Warriors, lamented that it was not making a movie, it was risking their lives.

When the director calls out to jump, the dragon and tiger warriors will jump boldly.Even if it is the third floor, if there is no sponge pad underneath, you have to jump directly.

At that time, many of the leading actors in action movies on Hong Kong Island were dragon and tiger martial artists.When you don't need a stand-in, you can dance as you say.

These dragon and tiger warriors, it is common for them to lose their limbs.Shooting a dangerous action scene, ambulances are waiting to save people.

Whoever is timid and does not want to do it, leave, and there will be a lot of people rushing to do it.

So, why were martial arts and action movies so good at that time?

Because it's a real shot, many of them don't even hang on to Wia.

In addition to experimenting with flying in the air, we also need to experiment with falling.After all, there are real people in it, so hard landings must be avoided.At the same time, the seats in the car have also been specially modified to increase the cushioning performance.

Lift the car first, and Wu Long sits in it.Test how high is safe and what kind of cushion is best.

After Wulong tested safety many times, he could shoot.

One thing about Wu Long's filming reassured Rose and his stuntmen, that is, Wu Long would ask an ambulance to be on the shooting scene just in case.

Ross has worked with Wu Long many times and knows that Wu Long's play has never had any accidents.However, Wu Long is still so serious and responsible every time, which makes his colleagues admire him very much.

Before the shooting started, Wu Long and Ross fist bumped.Wu Long secretly said to Ross:

"Don't worry, Rose, it will work."

Ross, who got into the car, watched the countdown of the staff in front of him.Into the state unconsciously.Of course he didn't know that he was influenced by Wu Long.

boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

The staff counted down and started waving.

Ross' car accelerated ahead, heading towards the upturned bridge.Wu Long's car was chasing after him, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Ross stared ahead, out of the corner of his eye the dashboard showed the speed as required.This feeling is no problem, from the reverse of the surrounding scenery, the roar of the car engine, all match this speed.

Experienced drivers can judge their own speed through these, without looking at the dashboard at all.

call!

Ross' car flew off the bridge.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow passed over his head.He saw the chassis of Wulong's car through the front windshield, and the camera behind him also captured this scene from his perspective.

At the top, the drone tracked and looked down to shoot, and took this wonderful picture.Unfortunately, the ground is not the other end of the bridge, but a large buffer covered with blue screen.

Peng!

The two cars fell into the buffer in no particular order.

"Is something wrong?"

"Is it okay?"

The staff rushed up.

"fine!"

"very good!"

The responses of Wu Long and Ross came from the car.

With the help of the staff, Wu Long and Ross got out of the car and clapped hands in celebration.

"success!"

"victory!"

Whoa!

Everyone applauds and celebrates.

Next, we shot the landing of the two cars.

Two cars, Wu Long's car in front and Ross's car in the back, were hoisted by a crane one meter above the ground.

Release at the same time and land at the same time.

There is no one on it, but if there are people, it will cause problems.

When the two vehicles landed, the ignition device was triggered and a small spark was ignited.

Falling from a high place will definitely cause sparks.There is no need to neglect the details, and there is no need for post-production special effects. It can be made directly on the spot, which is more realistic.

Then, Wu Long and Ross got into the car, sparks were emitted from the bottom of the car, and they accelerated to drive forward.

According to the plot, Ross' car got out of control and rushed to the side of the road.Wu Long's car drove safely to the finish line.

After the racing scene was finished, everyone took a day off to relax their tension before continuing to film the next racing scene.

Wu Long was in a hurry to cut out some scenes of this wonderful leaping across the bridge scene, and put them on the Internet to warm up and drain.

This "Fast and Furious 2", Wu Long will use the form of publicity while filming.

This is the same as when I was filming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.From time to time, some filming tidbits are released to warm up on the Internet to attract the attention of movie fans.Let the fans' sense of anticipation slowly accumulate and increase from the beginning of filming.

It also lets movie fans know that this "Fast and Furious 2" will be a real racing car shoot, not a green screen shoot.This makes people feel more thrilling.

As soon as the half-minute shooting highlights were released, it attracted countless movie fans to watch.

In the video, the shooting scene flashes quickly, so that fans can quickly understand the scene environment from a few flash shots.

Several flash shots showing the modified equipment of the two modified sports cars.When ordinary people saw it, they immediately exclaimed.It seems very professional and noble.

The dignified expressions of Wu Long and Ross flashed again.On the desktop are all kinds of incomprehensible data, and on the computer screen are the side view of the bridge with huge height difference, coordinates and scales.

A few shots flashed, and two modified sports cars drove quickly towards the raised bridge.From different angles, flashing continuously, and began to sprint.

The next shot is not the shot of the whole sprint, but the side shot.

In the flashing picture, two cars have appeared in the air.One is below and one is above.They are actually on the same vertical line!

The camera flashes again, this time to the other end of the bridge, facing the car head-on.

You can see the high cross section of the bridge and two sports cars flying under the night.

One is on the top and one is on the bottom.

The two sports cars are actually on the same vertical line!

In other words, two sports cars are on the same lane, just at different heights!

If it is not flying, if it is not in the air, the two cars in the same lane will definitely collide!

So thrilling, so exciting!

"Fack! Can you shoot like this?"

"Shet, how did this come about?"

"Watt? Isn't this from P?"

"This is a moving picture, p what p?"

"Shooting sideshows on the spot, do those who talk about P have any brains?"

"Brother Long is too bold, what if they collide in the air?"

"Others are driving on the road, but Brother Long is flying in the sky. Why is there such a big difference in the distance between people?"

"Is it possible that it's because of the car?"

"I seriously doubt that it's because of the car. It must be an advertisement from the car company!"
