"Click——" A beach somewhere in Sicily. The Italian director, who was filming on location, shouted angrily to stop.
The soldiers of the Italian Coastal Division who were "performing hard" in the trenches were laughing and playing with each other, laughing and joking with no filming discipline at all.
Then the Italian words amplified many times by the military loudspeaker came out like bullets: "Damn idiots, a bunch of brainless idiots! You can't even hold back your laughter! At least when the camera passes over your face, You have to be serious! Forget about the camera, the staff, and even me! Remember, you are brave warriors! You will die on the battlefield in the next second!!"
"Don't laugh, don't laugh. Listen to the director, it will be over soon..." The camera crew with reflectors reminded a group of stragglers in the trenches.
The shooting of the interior scenes by the second shooting team is also 100% realistic.
With a "pop-" sound, the clapperboard fell.
"Pa—" The torture whip also fell heavily.
"Ah——" the prisoners of war screamed immediately.
Under the camera, the Nazi eagle dogs vigorously beat the prisoners who had just arrived on the death train. The scenes of skin and flesh being torn apart and blood flying everywhere were faithfully recorded. Because it was so real, the entire crew vomited on the first day. After three consecutive days of filming, the entire crew fell ill. As a last resort, the Nazi army photographers could only be used to assist in shooting instead of these weak Venetians. Similar incidents emerge one after another. It is said that in the middle and late stages of filming, except for directors who strive for perfection, most of the filming positions have been replaced by military photographers. In order to ensure the progress of the filming, it is said that at the suggestion of the military photographer who took the photo, the coalition headquarters even dispatched law enforcement teams-field military police to each studio.
The Field Gendarmerie was also Germany's military police. When these military police officers are on duty, the most eye-catching thing is the crescent-shaped metal plate they wear on their chests. They play a dual role in the army: they are both a well-disciplined military police group and a well-trained military organization with formal establishment.
The German military police first appeared in 1810. At that time, most of the military police were selected from veterans with superior combat effectiveness. During the war, the gendarmerie developed and grew into a well-organized military police group. They had superior law enforcement powers against soldiers and civilians who violated disciplines. Due to their special status, they have greater command power over soldiers at the same and lower levels, which caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers. Coupled with the iconic hangtag, the field military police were also called "chain dogs."
The field military police operate together with the National Defense Forces and are mainly responsible for maintaining security behind the battlefield. The important occupation of the field military police is to maintain military discipline, so they are responsible for arresting deserters, like a battlefield supervision team. Of course, everything has pros and cons. If the "chain dog" who was the most powerful among German soldiers unfortunately became a prisoner of the Soviet army, his fate would be even worse than that of ordinary soldiers, and he would usually be shot on the spot without trial. At the end of World War II, as the German army lost on the battlefield, the field military police were gradually squeezed out and suppressed, and eventually disappeared from people's sight.
However, in Sicily in 1943, the field military police were definitely a group of "mad dogs" that terrified the German and Italian forces.
The result is that the attack is fatal. It is said that on the first day the military police entered the field, they shot several pushy "veteran greasers" one after another. Discipline on the set was remarkable.
Not only the large-scale anti-landing combat scenes, the filming is becoming more and more stylish. Even the partial close-ups of the Italian Coast Division cast members are becoming more and more camera-like. The special effects makeup team also pioneered many special effects makeup during the filming process.
For example, when the camera is filming a human body being "shot", two layers of pig skin will be attached to the actor's body, with small firecrackers and chicken blood bags buried in the second layer. After the gunpowder fuse was ignited, the firecrackers crackled and exploded, and the actors screamed and twisted, and the scene of chicken blood splattering under the camera was extremely realistic. There was even blood that collapsed directly onto the lens. This accident was saved by the director who had an idea. It has become a classic picture in film history.
Also because of the ultimate pursuit of realism. Senior makeup artists often take extreme measures. Even with two layers of pigskin on the front and back, the actors who were shot during the performance were often injured all over their bodies. He also received commendations and awards for this. etc. I worked my butt off without even getting a piece of the "Iron Cross (Medal)", so why don't I wear it with a pigskin on my back?
Where can I go to reason?
A group of veterans are crazy.
As long as it involves punches, sticks, bullets, cannons, disembowelling, amputating limbs, and other similar stunts, the Italian Coast Division is enthusiastic about signing up. Even if you can't get an Iron Cross, you can still enjoy a feast of wine and meat to improve your food.
With subjective initiative, it is inspired step by step. The extras took the initiative to join the show. In particular, the Italian Coast Division officer who played the officer used all his time to polish his lines and hone his acting skills. He even brought himself into the character of the play. As the saying goes, "Life is like a play, play yourself well." The best performance is to perform yourself.
As long as the director doesn't call to stop, the performance will continue.
Even in the middle and late stages, the intensity of filming the landing battle in the big scene far exceeded the level of war exercises. A pseudo-war scene that is almost 100% realistic.
certainly. As the previous screenwriter promised, this is by no means a pure war movie. It's the Third Reich's version of "Gone with the Wind."
"Troubled Times" is only part of the scene, no matter how realistic it is. The "beauties" scene is the top priority.
Speaking of which, a large-scale landing battle performance does not consume a lot of money. The reason is simple, it costs absolutely nothing to perform as a group portrait. Even all the consumption during the filming process came from military rations, and even the studio security and filming discipline were not borne by the film crew. If you want people, give people, if you want money, give money. With an order from the head of state, the Third Reich, which has occupied most of Europe, is concentrating all its efforts to continuously deliver resources to Sicily.
Good guy. The Allied forces, which occupied the entire North Africa and faced Sicily across the Mediterranean, were all stunned. Are you telling me this is a movie?
Or under the guise of making a movie, training an army of elite soldiers?
If it was really a movie, could it be said that the group of Nazis who led the entire Third Reich were all crazy?
So facing the beaches of Sicily where artillery was rumbling all day long, the Allies secretly sent death squads to sneak in at the risk of death. They even sent elite spies out in full force to try every means possible to dig out the unknown secrets behind the scenes.
The various studios were filled with undercurrents and crowds of people.
As the filming continues to progress, the adventure team headed by war girl Danielle is also emerging in different positions. Become an indispensable and respected professional woman.
Agreed time to meet.
The female reporter who had joined the adventure team brought back a top-secret file with a stern look on her face.
"What is supposed to come will come."
Danielle, the war girl, hurriedly opened it and saw a photo of a man's anatomy at the top of the file: "Who is he?"
"William Martin, Staff Officer of the British Joint Planning Command, Royal Navy Captain, Acting Major, code number 09560." The female reporter revealed the identity of the deceased.
"Ah...'Meat Mince Plan'." War Girl Danielle immediately thought of it.
