Chapter 479: If you’re racing a car, you’re a tank. Can you predict the weather?
"Director, this movie was so exciting. It was so exciting. I thought I was really fighting on the battlefield!"
After filming a scene, Xu Hong jumped out of the tank cockpit with a look of excitement on his face.
How honest he is when driving in China, he doesn't even dare to rush the yellow light at the intersection.
But here you can not only drive tanks, but also race cars and fire guns unscrupulously.
All it took was replacing the shells in the magazine with live ammunition.
Tong Li, Shitou, Zhuang Yu and others also got off the off-road vehicle with excitement on their faces.
"It's really exciting to film with Director Su. This immersive and strong sense of being on the scene makes it hard for me to believe that this is not a war."
Contrary to their excitement, Su Qin acted very calmly.
"We are in Somalia and have personally experienced being hijacked by armed men. Isn't this a real war?"
"Now you know why I leave a few live ammunition for each person, right? Do you know why I put a few real artillery shells in the magazine of the tank?"
"Once we encounter danger again, all of us must have the ability to quickly enter the actual combat state. Only by destroying the enemy at the moment of discovery can we try to avoid the situation from escalating."
Since the last time we were besieged by armed men, the entire crew was almost wiped out.
Bazaka applied to him several times to send heavy troops to perform protection work around the crew.
While Su Qin accepted his application, he also prepared a large number of real bullets and shells for the crew.
In order to distinguish live ammunition from blank ammunition at a glance, they also specially changed the color of the live ammunition to avoid unnecessary casualties caused by misuse of live ammunition during filming.
It is no exaggeration to say that the process of filming this movie gave everyone on the crew a considerable degree of practical ability.
Everyone in the crew believes that these skills that cannot be learned at home are far more valuable than the money earned this time abroad.
After a night's rest, they continued filming new scenes.
Zhuang Yu fought against the militants in the sheepfold and used his last breath to connect to the satellite communication equipment before he died.
Shitou and Tong Li were forced into a small house by the rebels and attacked repeatedly. Shitou was beaten on the face and neck.
These touching scenes had already been filmed in advance by Wang Ping when Su Qin returned to China to announce the launch of Changjin Lake.
Although Wang Ping's shooting skills are not even a bit worse than Su Qin's, with the support of Su Qin's unique editing technology, the quality can be sufficiently guaranteed.
What they want to shoot now is a classic among classics - a tank chase in the desert.
Three M60A3 main battle tanks chased a T-72B main battle tank. The four tanks raced through the desert at speeds of forty to fifty kilometers per hour, kicking up sand and dust all over the sky. The scene was spectacular.
In particular, the T-72B has a relatively light body and strong maneuverability. It will perform various extreme super maneuvers in the film. The script description alone is enough to shock the crew and crew to the point where they can't close their mouths.
In order to film this scene well, Su Qin also gave them additional detailed explanations.
“The T-72B has a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, thicker reactive armor, larger-caliber artillery, and can crush opponents crazily with its 840-horsepower diesel engine.
However, the top speed of the M60A3 is only 48 kilometers per hour, so in a chase battle between three and one, it is inevitable that the distance between the two sides will become wider and wider. "
"Then in order to make up for this unreasonable bug, we need the T-72B to be shot by the rebels. Once the cooling system is broken, the tank will no longer dare to race at full speed, and it will not be able to run far."
"In addition, we need to set up these four tanks to be equipped with composite reactive armor, and neither side has armor-piercing projectiles, so that the T-72B can withstand a few shots without stopping after one shot."
"At the same time, it also avoids an overly strong halo of the protagonist, such as a mentally retarded plot where the T-72B cannot be killed no matter how hard it is hit, while the rebels' M60A3 is destroyed with one shot."
"In addition, we will arrange a variety of shooting equipment such as off-road vehicles, drones, and action cameras to shoot from multiple angles to give the audience various immersive tank racing dramas from different perspectives."
Everyone was listening to his analysis attentively, and their expectations for this scene were getting higher and higher.
If it can be completed according to Su Qin's shooting plan, then they will definitely create a classic.
"Alright, let each team make preparations and we'll start shooting right away."
"Assistant Director Wang, please pay special attention. Later, you will focus on the automatic loading shots of the T-72B tank and the manual loading shots of the M60A3 tank."
"This is one of the important differences between the two tanks, and it is also an important reason why the Jiaolong Commando can win with two-person combat. This kind of detail must not be missed."
After he gave the instructions, Wang Ping still had questions in his mind.
"But Director Su, there is a sandstorm in the film. Should we wait until the sandstorm comes to start filming or use computers for post-production?"
Su Qin looked at the sky and said confidently: "If the filming progress goes well, a sandstorm will hit when we are racing, and what we will shoot at that time will be the most realistic film effect."
"Site management, prepare eye masks and headscarves for everyone, and be sure to prepare for personal protection. Don't let any more casualties or disappearances occur."
Wang Ping and the field manager were both confused.
The weather is so nice now, and you suddenly say there will be a sandstorm later?
Do you really think you are the god who controls the weather?
Twenty minutes later, the tank racing drama took place.
"Tank A, go to the left and attack them!"
The rebels were indeed not idiots, and they actually wanted to kill them through tactical encirclement.
Yang Ruibi has more combat experience than them and has stronger on-the-spot command capabilities.
"Xu Hong, go 20 degrees to the left, quick! Quick!"
Xu Hong decisively steered the tank to turn left.
As a result, as soon as the car body turned around, the enemy tank's shells flew over.
boom! ! !
The heavy reactive armor on the T-72B tank withstood the shot, but there was no damage inside or outside the tank.
Yang Rui then controlled the turret and fired back at the opponent.
But as Su Qin said in advance, ordinary high-explosive bombs hitting the thick reactive armor will not be able to destroy the opponent at all.
It is this non-brainful shooting technique of killing the enemy with one shot that adds more realism and tension to this scene.
"Xu Hong, their reactive armor is too dense."
"Turn sharply left and we'll hit their tracks."
From an aerial perspective, the tank operated by Xu Hong turned sharply and formed a perfect drift arc.
Yang Rui also took this opportunity to quickly adjust the muzzle and aim at the tracks of the rebel tank.
boom! ! !
Another shot was fired, and the track of the rebel tank broke with the sound.
The M40A60 tank, which was originally chasing at a speed of more than 3 kilometers per hour, suddenly became a turtle lying on its back and could no longer pursue it.
However, a subsequent shell from the rebel tank hit the side reactive armor of the T-72B, causing the ears of Yang Rui and Xu Hong inside the vehicle to roar.
What's even more terrible is that this shelling caused irreversible damage to the vehicle's hardware.
"Captain, the cooling system is damaged and the car won't be able to drive for long."
But in order to escape the pursuit of two tanks, they now have to flee forward.
Fortunately, at this time, the sandstorm predicted by Su Qin finally came.
Xu Hong: "Captain, there is a sandstorm ahead."
Yang Rui: Speed up and rush in!
