"Director Song heard that this movie is about the evacuation operation. It is also the first joint production between you and the Foreign Affairs Bureau. I would like to ask, is this time any different from the previous official movies?" Phoenix A media reporter from .com took the lead in asking a very tricky question.
Song Hao immediately replied: "This evacuation movie is actually no different. Like "Operation Red Sea", it is also adapted from real events."
Hearing this, everyone was very excited.
Because there are not many typical evacuation operations, and there are only a few examples that truly demonstrate national strength.
At this time, a reporter from CCTV asked: "Then I would like to ask Director Song, will it still be filmed abroad like "Operation Red Sea" this time?"
Song Hao nodded: "The reason why "Operation Red Sea" has achieved such high box office results is mainly because it was shot in real locations instead of being set up in a film and television city. So this time it is also real."
"Will there be equipment like warships and tanks on display this time?"
Song Hao continued to answer: "Of course, and it is more advanced than "Operation Red Sea"."
A reporter from Sina.com asked: "Director Song, you said these were real guns and live ammunition. Wouldn't that be dangerous at the scene?"
Hear this.
Song Hao asked back: "Do you think they don't know there will be danger? But these actors still choose to take on this drama, which proves that they want to break through themselves. Of course, I will do my best to protect the safety of the actors. Absolutely We won’t let any surprises happen to them.”
This guarantee also received applause from everyone present.
They also believe that Song Hao not only has the ability to make good movies, but also has the ability to take good care of his own actors.
What Song Hao said at the launch conference was quickly posted online.
The topic of the filming of "Wolf Warrior" also quickly became a hot topic.
When everyone learned that Song Hao would use more military weapons in the movie "Wolf Warrior", they were very excited for a while.
"When I watched "Operation Red Sea", I was already looking forward to it. I thought there should be more weapons unveiled this time."
"Do you think there will be an aircraft carrier by then?"
"Hahahaha, if the aircraft carrier can capture Director Song for a few seconds, I think it will be worth the price of admission."
"Yes, if the aircraft carrier can be photographed in the movie, this movie ticket will definitely be worth it."
"We are just looking forward to whether Director Song will bring the aircraft carrier over."
"Anyway, after years of verification, it is almost impossible for the movies directed by Song to be bad."
"Besides, this is a realistic theme that Director Song is most familiar with. The main theme is full of themes. How could Director Song make a bad movie?"
"I really want to join Director Song's crew."
With the conclusion of the "Wolf Warrior" launch conference, the crew was officially established.
The cast and crew are still the same as before.
They have been accompanying Song Hao for four years.
During these four years, some crew members had to come to participate even if they gave birth to babies.
They don't want to miss out on a big production because of something they have done.
After all, as long as someone takes his place, Song Hao may not be able to remember him when he makes a movie next time.
The first scene is a fight scene in the water.
In order to be able to shoot the most realistic feeling.
Wu Jing and the villains had to soak in the water for several hours.
Just for this three-minute underwater shot.
For this reason, Song Hao specially chose a blue water area, which looked more intuitive.
During the filming process, the cameraman also had to soak in the water for a long time.
But in this way, Song Hao would not be able to communicate with the cameraman in time.
In order to get the effect you want.
Song Hao also put on a diving suit, took over the camera, and acted as a temporary cameraman.
Jason Statham standing on the beach, since most of his plots are abroad, according to the time, it does not need to be filmed with the crew so early.
But he still came early, just to watch Song Hao filming.
As a result, when he saw how dedicated Song Hao was, he recorded the video and then sent it to Elizabeth Olsen.
He also sent a voice message: [Hey, Elizabeth, guess what the man you like is doing in the water now? He actually stole the cameraman's job and filmed it in the water. He was so crazy. 】
It didn't take long for Elizabeth Olsen to reply: [Take some photos of him and send them to me. Why did he ask you to make a movie but not me? 】
Jason Statham: [Because this is a fighting war movie, it’s not suitable for you. Don’t worry, I will recommend it to you when one day he wants to make other types of movies. 】
Elizabeth Olsen: [You don’t need to recommend me, I will tell him myself. 】
Jason Statham: [Hahahaha, then tell him and conquer him with your long legs. 】
Obviously, Jason Statham doesn't know what happened between Elizabeth and Song Hao, and he is even teasing about it.
Soon, the underwater fighting scene finally ended.
During this period, Song Hao continued to direct the villain's extras.
This also moved these foreign extras.
Logically speaking, the bigger the director, the less he cares about the acting skills of these extras.
Sometimes I don't even talk to them.
Generally, the assistant director or assistant director is responsible for the guidance.
When they learned that Song Hao was the top director in Chinese films, they were even more awe-struck and praised him one after another: "Mr. Song Hao is really the best director I have ever seen."
"Yes, I feel the same way. He is willing to teach each of us how to shoot better."
"I was very moved by that."
After they finished filming this scene, they all went ashore.
At this time Liu Shuangshi came over immediately with a towel.
This time Liu Shuangshi will play the role of Richard, a doctor assisting Africa.
She is one of the few female characters in the entire movie who has a relatively high appearance rate.
He is characterized by calmness and superb medical skills.
The main plot is to try to cover Dr. Chen when mercenaries are hunting for infectious disease expert Dr. Chen.
After Dr. Chen unfortunately died, he was entrusted by Dr. Chen to escort others to evacuate with Leng Feng.
Although these plots will not be filmed until the middle and later stages.
But Liu Shuangshi came to the crew early to follow.
On the one hand, he wanted to help Song Hao, and on the other hand, he also wanted to learn more.
After all, there are many superstars in this movie, and it is also a movie about evacuation of overseas Chinese, so there must be no sloppy acting.
Song Hao took the towel from Liu Shuangshi and said with a smile: "Thank you Shuangshi."
Liu Shuangshi blushed slightly and whispered, "You don't have to say thank you to me."
Song Hao smiled and said nothing.
Wu Jing saw this scene from the side and couldn't help but joke: "I am the one who has been in the water for the longest time. Why doesn't anyone give me a towel?"
The crew members were trotting behind: "Teacher Wu Jing, I'm behind you, don't run away."
Wu Jing looked back and saw the staff chasing him with towels.
"So my towel is here, your short legs are not good enough." Wu Jing said happily.
Soon as the plot was being filmed, the scenes of Wu Jing's memories were also filmed.
When they returned home carrying the urns of their comrades, something happened.
Wu Jing was so angry that he kicked the demolition team leader away.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Jing resigned from his membership and left.
The next scene is the scene on the beach.
A large crowd reveled.
These are all extras hired by Song Hao.
And he asked the photographer to focus on the several huge beer glasses on the table.
These are the real deal beers.
The next end is the scene of Leng Feng drinking with foreigners.
Song Hao and Wu Jing said: "We must really drink."
Wu Jing, however, didn't take it seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'll just drink this beer as if it's cold."
"Okay, let's begin!"
"Attention all units!"
"start!"
At this time, Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, happily picked up the beer cup and said to the foreigner: "Let's start!"
For a moment, both of them picked up a large glass of beer and started drinking it.
I have to say that Wu Jing is really good at playing such a messy character.
He drank and provoked.
Song Hao saw the scene on the monitor and complained: "There is really no other person besides him who can play such a role."
At this time, Liu Shuangshi snickered from the side and said: "Yes, I think there is another person who can act more arrogant than him."
Song Hao asked with some confusion: "Who is it?"
Liu Shuangshi pointed at Song Hao himself and said with a smile: "You, you are quite domineering sometimes."
Only then did Song Hao react.
Since both sides were in good condition during this section, Song Hao did not shout, but continued to let them perform.
that's all.
They drank three drinks each, and finally the foreigner collapsed.
A black kid next to him kept shouting: "Godfather, Godfather!"
As if to cheer Wu Jing up.
During this period, Song Hao used the intercom to talk to Wu Jing: "Brother Jing, you have to start remembering at this time, because you think of your girlfriend. Your girlfriend's life or death is uncertain now. You don't know where she is. You are worried and you are hesitant." , your eyes are filled with tears."
After listening to what Song Hao said, Wu Jing wiped away his tears and said, "Damn it, I'm almost crying as you talk."
After the filming of this scene was completed, all the crew members moved abroad.
After getting off the plane, the first thing everyone felt about Africa was the heat.
It's just too hot.
The local people welcomed Song Hao and the others very much, and even the police came to maintain the safety of the crew.
Later, Song Hao learned that the Foreign Affairs Bureau had communicated with the local departments.
They also welcome Song Hao to come and film with them.
In order for Song Hao to finish filming safely, a small team of police officers was specially selected to follow him.
Song Hao first thanked you: "Thank you very much, but I feel it is too much trouble. You have so much to do."
The leading police captain said: "You are our friends, this is what we should do, and this is not as safe as your country. We are not as safe as you."
Hearing this, Song Hao said nothing more, but once again thanked the police officers who came to protect them on behalf of the crew.
For this filming, Song Hao did not choose to stay in a local hotel.
Because the security at these hotels was not very good, they all went to the embassy.
The embassy also arranged their accommodation early to provide them with sufficient convenience.
During the subsequent preparations of the crew, they found that the local people were too friendly to the Chinese people.
As soon as they heard that you were from China, they all gave a thumbs up.
Jason Statham was also shocked by this phenomenon.
When he returned to his residence, he even said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that China has such a big influence now."
Song Hao nodded: "Now China has become strong, and many people recognize us. This is also our confidence."
Wu Jing also responded: "You know, we were bullied a hundred years ago. It's different now. No one dares to bully us now."
for the rest of the time.
Song Hao filmed for a full month.
This month's filming was all about big scenes.
The bombardment of artillery shells and the strafing of live ammunition.
Explosions, machine gunfire.
Every day is full of them.
During this period, Song Hao emphasized safety several times every day.
I was just worried that one oversight would kill the entire crew.
It was also the first time for Liu Shuangshi to experience such a shooting environment, and she also grew up rapidly.
During the more than a month of filming, she studied seriously.
As long as there is something you don't understand, feel free to ask Song Hao.
This also allowed the two of them to spend more and more time together.
And he would secretly do some petty theft while no one was paying attention.
This also made Liu Shuangshi feel happy.
One month's time.
Song Hao basically finished filming the entire post-production drama.
Especially the last fight scene between Wu Jing and Jason Statham.
It made everyone present feel excited after seeing it.
Jason Statham even frankly complained: "Wu Jing was so desperate that he actually asked me to slap him in the face. Usually in Hollywood, a superstar like him needs a substitute, but he will take the initiative himself." Do."
But Wu Jing said: "There is no way I won't get injured while filming a martial arts drama. Fortunately, I don't rely on my face to survive, but my life."
It was also in this drama that Jason Statham and Wu Jing became good friends.
The two also admired each other.
Wu Jing also laughed and scolded Jason Statham, and even splashed blood plasma directly on his face, causing him to fall immediately during the action scene.
"He actually asked me to choke him and feel the real explosion." On the way back home, Wu Jing joked with Song Hao: "If you hadn't been watching next to me, I feel that after the fight between us, we would have stopped. Don’t stop.”
Song Hao laughed: "You two are more serious than the other. If we really get into a fight, I won't care about you."
Jason Statham seemed to notice that the two of them mentioned him, so he gave a thumbs up and said in the Chinese he just learned not long ago: "Awesome~~"
Soon, Jason Statham said goodbye to Song Hao and others.
He looked at everyone and said: "When it comes time to promote the movie, I will come right away as long as you give me a call."
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely ask you to work as a coolie." Song Hao laughed.
Jason Statham returned to North America and immediately posted on Twitter about his filming experience during this period.
"I met a mad director and a mad opponent. The mad director bombed a certain area for a month. After shooting less than half of the scene and consuming 200 million worth of weapons and equipment, the mad opponent started filming. The scenes are life-threatening, and every punch must be a real punch. I have filmed many action movies, but no action movie requires this kind of filming. I was completely convinced!"
Foreign netizens are asking which crazy director and crazy opponent it is.
Jason Statham replied: "Song Hao and Wu Jing."
Only then did foreign netizens know that Jason Statham and Song Hao had collaborated.
And according to Jason Statham, Song Hao should make a blockbuster similar to "Operation Red Sea"! !
For a time, the overseas fans were in high spirits! !
Asking for a monthly ticket!
