However, the difficulty of filming this underwater scene was beyond Li Yi's imagination.
It can be said that even in the previous filming of "Changjin Lake", no scene had as many NGs as this one.
Although the shooting environment of "Wolf Warrior" is much better than that of "Changjin Lake" in terms of environment, after all, it was not shot in ice and snow.
When shooting at the Maritime Training Center, the actors and photographers had to soak in the water for more than 10 hours every day. In order to rush for time, Wu Qianjun and the staff ate directly in the water to replenish energy. The photographer was so tired that he fell asleep leaning on the edge of the pool.
It’s not that you can’t come up, but once you come up, it will take a lot of time to prepare for reshooting.
Of course, Li Yi is actually okay. He is the director after all, and this kind of scene does not require him to demonstrate, and this is after sufficient preparations have been made before shooting.
Many movies, the shooting effect is one thing, it seems to only take a few minutes, but when actually shooting, it is really not as interesting as shown, but it seems very boring.
Especially when a scene is shot repeatedly, like the scene of jumping into the sea, in order to ensure the effect, Wu Qianjun jumped into the water nearly 30 times. In that scene, he jumped from the deck. Although the scene in the sea was only shot for a few seconds, this scene was not easy to shoot at all. Wu Qianjun dived 26 times in a row in order to cooperate with the photographer in the shot of entering the water.
At that time, because the scene was shot on the open sea, the ocean current flow rate that day was 15 meters per second. As a result, Wu Qianjun was instantly swept away by the ocean current after entering the water. In the end, he had to rely on the crew's speedboat to intercept him. Come down.
Even Li Yi joked that this scene was no less thrilling outside the scene than inside it!
And because you are fighting underwater, it is actually very difficult to shoot it all at once. After all, you have to hold your breath underwater and perform prescribed actions. It is impossible to shoot for too long at once. So, basically Each shot actually doesn't last long.
Wu Qianjun did not disappoint Li Yi. In fact, the most difficult part of this scene was that in order to ensure the effect during filming, neither the actors nor the staff were able to wear respirators during the filming. In order to ensure safety , Li Yi specially hired a whole team of lifeguards.
"Every department is in its place!"
"The actors are in place!"
"Photography in place!"
"The lights are in place!"
"..."
"The rescue team is in place!"
"Prepare the timer!"
"The eighteenth scene of "Wolf Warrior", the second scene, the thirteenth scene! A!" followed by the sound of the slapping sound.
This scene was filmed for the thirteenth time.
Li Yi sat in front of the monitor and looked at the monitor. Of course, it was impossible for him to accompany the actors and staff into the water.
After all, that's not his job.
Therefore, he could only watch through the monitor.
Five thousand troops entered the water, and Li Yi couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Looking at the scene, under the water, Wu Qianjun's movements are still free and easy, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, you know, three minutes on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
It seems like a simple action, but it can only be done after countless trainings. ….
After all, doing actions underwater and on the water are completely different things.
And you should know that the reason why Wu Qianjun can move freely under the water without causing him to float up is actually because he is equipped with a four kilogram lead weight, which makes his dive faster.
Under such circumstances, it is really not that difficult to do the prescribed work of fighting and dodging.
But that’s how filming is, you can’t survive without going crazy.
This one was shot much more smoothly than before.
"Stuck! Hurry, lifeguard!" Suddenly, Li Yi saw on the monitor that Wu Qianjun's body suddenly lost control and continued to sink, and even his mouth began to soak with water. Li Yi suddenly shouted nervously.
Fortunately, the lifeguards are all professional and well prepared. In fact,
When Li Yi shouted, a lifeguard who had been waiting for a long time came to Wu Qianjun's side, put a respirator on his face, and then dragged him ashore.
Although everyone seems to be used to the filming in the past few days, such dangerous situations still make people feel uneasy. Even though they have experienced it once earlier when shooting offshore, this dangerous scene still made the atmosphere on the scene almost tense to the point of freezing. .
After all, Wu Qianjun almost had an accident just now, and he was underwater and had to hold his breath for filming. Once he was discouraged, it was really not a small problem.
Li Yi quickly walked to Wu Qianjun who was dragged ashore. Although Wu Qianjun choked a few times, he was not seriously injured because the rescue was timely. Li Yi was relieved.
"If it doesn't work, don't force it. Let's take the photo several times more!" Li Yi frowned.
In fact, this scene does not need to be so troublesome. Although the effect may not be as good as the splicing in one shot, the scene just now was really thrilling!
"Director Li, if that's the case, the effect won't be that good. It's okay for me. It's just that the lead weight is too heavy, and I may not have adjusted it properly. That's why the situation just happened. I'll take a rest and come back again, and there's After gaining this experience, there will definitely be no problem in the future.”
Wu Qianjun shook his head.
For Li Yi, this may be just one of his many movies. Whether this movie is good or perfect, for Li Yi, the impact will not be that big.
But for Wu Qianjun, he naturally knows what this drama means to him.
He was willing to work hard for this rare opportunity. After all, in the past, he never had such a chance even if he worked hard.
"Are you sure there's no problem?" If possible, Li Yi naturally hopes to take better shots. After all, the effect will definitely be better.
Among those classics, no, let’s not talk about classics, but among those excellent movies, which one is not outrageous in its attention to detail?
But manpower is sometimes scarce, and it is impossible for Li Yi to force Wu Qianjun to perform as hard as he wants.
There is no need. For Li Yi, "Wolf Warrior" is just an ordinary movie and has not risen to that level.
However, Li Yi finally understood why many directors have such bad tempers on the set and often curse.
He is actually fine, or he actually doesn't feel that kind of pressure. After all, he has the final say in his movies, and no one would dare to point fingers.
But that's not the case for other directors. Every day of filming for a movie like this costs an extra day of money. The number of crew members is so high, plus venue rental, etc., it's not a small amount of money.
Once stuck, pressure will follow. Many times, some directors are not really bad-tempered, but are completely forced.
There are too many issues that they need to consider, which is why there are often many shots that the director could obviously shoot better, but in the end they are just passable. Without him, making a movie is inherently expensive. You want to achieve the effect. , you need to pay the price!
Of course, such a scene will definitely be a publicity highlight. .
The world is black
