Rebirth of the Great Heavenly King

"start!"

Li Chencan said something on the intercom in front of the monitor.

On this side, everyone started to move.

The filming of "Saving Private Ryan" requires a lot of extras. Such extras require five to six hundred people... And during the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" in Europe, these five to six hundred people will

You will have to stay here for about half a month.

At the beginning, Li Chencan and the others planned to find Chinese extras in Europe to play these soldiers - after all, "Saving Private Ryan" in Li Chencan's hands is a movie entirely from the perspective of the Chinese Army. Of course,

It was impossible to find foreigners to act, so we had to use Chinese people to act out the landing battle.

Because the empire allows dual nationality, Chinese people in this world are also spread all over the world, and in a strict sense they are still Chinese.

The unique climate and unique scenery in Europe have also attracted some Chinese to settle down again. Anyway, it only takes more than ten hours to fly from Europe to China, and there is also the Eurasian Continental Bridge railway artery connecting in the middle. This is also

It's not a problem.

But the problem is that it is possible to find Chinese extras in Europe... But so many extras need to be gathered from various countries. Although the process of European integration is accelerating, there is still a distance between countries...

The most important thing is... although "Saving Private Ryan"

It does not require the extras to have too many military skills, but they must have some performance experience and be able to follow the instructions. Many of these Chinese in Europe are quite unorganized, and they must accept it.

With such strict management, many people quit working immediately...

Under such circumstances, Li Chencan and the others simply pulled people over from China. These five or six hundred people...the shipping cost alone was a huge sum, plus all the food, drink, shit, and sleep on the way...it was really a huge sum.

expenses, but there is no way, who makes Li Chencan and the others need these people?

So, under the current circumstances, many things have become a little different.

But for the sake of film quality, Li Chencan decided this way.

At the beginning of filming, many things had to be done by Li Chencan himself... After all, Li Chencan now has the memory of that time and space, as well as the ability to see ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory. And with so much film theoretical knowledge,

So he is relatively good at making movies, but when it came to filming "Saving Private Ryan", he had to do a lot of things himself.

First of all, there is one difference between the original movie and the movie Li Chencan will shoot - the way of war is completely different...

Since he boasted that he wanted to shoot completely real war scenes, he naturally had to restore the fighting style of the Chinese *** Team... But at that time, the Chinese *** Team not only had high individual soldiers, but also had well-equipped equipment and a special fighting style.

Advanced, not the same as the one in "Saving Private Ryan".

Of course, this has little to do with the Normandy landing. After all, the special terrain of Normandy has been determined. There is no way to build skirmish lines here. We can only use human lives to pile up.

But many details have to be based on the Chinese ** team's fighting style... At least the Chinese ** team's fight in this war was much higher quality than the US military in "Saving Private Ryan"

...This requires Li Chencan and several military consultants to work hard on the details, and every scene must be strictly adhered to these details during filming.

Such a huge team of five to six hundred people must follow the details and not make any mistakes... It is really fatal!

When there are too many people, things tend to go wrong. Five or six hundred people set out from China to Europe, and many problems arose during this process. There were all kinds of discord and other nasty things that never stopped... It was not easy, and there were bumps and bumps.

After arriving in Europe, these guys were still able to cause a lot of trouble. But now that it was time to shoot a movie, Li Chencan discovered that it was extremely difficult for these guys to operate when there were more people, and there were a lot of things going on.

For example, this scene in front of me...

Some people always accidentally enter the danger zone...

"Fuck!" Li Chencan couldn't help but uttered a curse word and shouted loudly: "Bring that grandson back to me!"

An extra performer over there accidentally entered the danger zone. The danger zone is where explosives are buried and will be exploded. If something happens... Li Chencan and "Saving Private Ryan" are all over...

Li Chencan experienced this kind of thing. There were safety risks in the crew, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

In his previous life, it was a TV series that was filmed in Tengchong, Yunnan. That day, he happened to go to the crew to do something, and encountered an unforgettable scene. Two pyrotechnicians went over to check the gunpowder, but something unexpected happened... Then,

In just a few seconds, two lives disappeared into this beautiful world.

On that day, Li Chencan and many people felt that they had gone through the most difficult day in their lives. It was also the day when Li Chencan doubted movies and TV series the most - in order to shoot movies and TV series, we actually had to sacrifice human lives...

This feeling bothered Li Chencan for a long time, and he even had to find a psychiatrist to get rid of it.

Therefore, Li Chencan's nerves are the most sensitive to dangerous scenes in this kind of movies, especially war movies, so this swear word is completely unavoidable.

The filming progress here is extremely slow. After all, it is still in the running-in period. However, if we continue at this pace and finish filming the scenes here in half a month, it seems to be a bit of a problem.

In fact, Li Chencan also has some problems himself - the original version of "Saving Private Ryan" was shot with a 2D camera, using a very amazing way to show the same effect as a documentary... That is of course good,

However, if Li Chencan wants to use an imax3d camera to show the effect of a documentary, it will be really difficult.

If you use a shaky lens, such as "District 9" to show a documentary effect... This is a 3D movie. If you shake it two or three times, you will be stunned. So how to master such a lens effect?

Important issues that trouble Li Chencan.

At the same time, the crew also had some conflicts with local residents...

"It's amazing to be a superpower! It's amazing that you are Chinese! The Chinese can be unreasonable! How can the Chinese bully the French casually?" An old French lady pointed at Li Chencan's nose and cursed, insisting on saying something about Li Chencan

They were noisy and made trouble every day, so they had no choice but to let her see Li Chencan, but she cursed her in French.

Li Chencan's nose became angry after hearing the translation.

The progress of their filming these days is extremely slow, which has long made Li Chencan very unhappy. He can only sleep for four to five hours or even two or three hours every night, which makes Li Chencan collapse. He has always had a temper, and now he is still

Being scolded like that by an old lady.

"Can you still hear? Can you still hear the voices of our crew?" Li Chencan shouted immediately.

In his previous life, if Li Chencan heard someone scolding him, "The superpower is amazing, the Chinese are amazing," he would definitely feel a sense of accomplishment, just like many people want others to scold him for being rich... But in such a moment

, Li Chencan was really depressed.

The translator was sweating profusely and quickly translated: "He said he was sorry and would resolve it as soon as possible."

"...But from what I see in his mood, he doesn't seem to be saying that, sir."

"Hey, can you still work hard? Translate for me. How do you translate what I say?" Li Chencan heard the clues...

...Just after we settled the matter here, news came from over there that a fight broke out among the extras, and one of them had his nose bone broken.

Li Chencan pinched the T-shaped area between his eyebrows and the end of his nose with his fingers, and said painfully: "Take them all back to China, let them take the train back, and they have standing tickets - no standing tickets? No.

Standing tickets must also create out-of-standing tickets!”

There are so many trivial things like this, big things and small things...

In the previous "Infernal Affairs", although the scene was big enough, so many extras were used, and it still had to last for such a long time. "Saving Private Ryan" was the first time that Li Chencan regulated those extras in his previous life.

They are quite good at it... But in this life, damn it, all kinds of laws, the Actors Guild have managed these people so well, and often they can’t even beat or scold them, they’ve really spoiled them into bitches.

Of course, this is a sign of progress, but now in Li Chencan's eyes, he really feels better.

Fortunately, Li Chencan has so many years of shooting experience, and these trivial matters were gradually handled smoothly. And as the initial shooting stage passed, the filming progress of the movie advanced a lot, and the crew's adjustment was also better.

Okay, so the shooting progress is slowly catching up...

However, after the filming progress caught up, the crew also began to face some financial problems.

The financial consumption here still exceeded Li Chencan's expectations. The filming of the movie cost too much money, and it also exceeded the initial budget.

A lot of funds from Li Chencan's personal studio have basically been invested here. Of course, there is still some money in the studio's account, but it must be kept for use...

"Infernal Affairs" has finally been released in North America. It has received a total of 114 million US dollars at the box office, of which about 150 million can be distributed to the account of Li Chencan's personal studio. These will come over time...

Therefore, the consumption of funds does not mean that we cannot come up with these, but the consumption rate is beyond expectations, and the next shooting will be more difficult. (To be continued...)
