"Instead of being an actor, he wants to be a movie director?"
There were no oxygen tanks!
Dong Shanshan also laughed.
There were even some scenes that could not be filmed!
Jacques and the others immediately explained the situation to them.
"The crew will be heading this way in a while."
Where were the stunt doubles?
The cargo ship stopped at a predetermined area of the sea. More than 30 African extras were already prepared. Speedboats, lifeboats, diving equipment, cameras, and waterproofing were all ready.
Where were the stunt doubles?
On this day.
Everyone on the ship fell silent. On the first day of filming, they were already on tenterhooks. Perhaps it wasn't until this moment that they truly understood that Zhang Ye's words at the opening ceremony were not just empty words!
"Just wait for the Chinese to make a fool of themselves, hahaha!"
"Right, there are a lot of unfamiliar faces here. I'm not too familiar with any of them."
Everyone on the ship was going crazy!
Ricky nearly jumped up. "NO!"
Dolby said loudly, "Director, you're playing with your life! Even a Hollywood director wouldn't dare to use a one-take scene so easily! Much less at the bottom of the sea! "
Hold your breath!
Dive into the water!
Two!
"Yeah, his international popularity is definitely going to plummet."
India.
The extras started moving!
Dong Shanshan said, "I don't know what a one-take is either."
All of the film crew's cast and crew were present.
No one had ever dared to say something like that at the opening ceremony of any film or TV series in history. This director Zhang Ye was indeed different from others. He dared to say and do anything!
Five times!
"Hollywood didn't invite him?"
Sophia exclaimed, "Hold your breath for three minutes? No one can do that! "
Tong Fu, who was in diving gear, swam over. "You scared me to death!"
"I can laugh at this joke for a year!"
Jacques exclaimed, "A one-take to the end?"
The actors were all in the distance.
"I hereby announce! Wolf Warrior 2 will officially begin filming! "
After a full two minutes and ten seconds, a head suddenly popped up from the surface of the water. He grabbed onto the edge of the speedboat and gasped for air. His expression had changed. The surrounding rescue boats and rescue personnel swarmed over and were all panicking.
Little Wang was so anxious that she was crying. "You're in too much danger! This is too dangerous! "
Everything went according to Zhang Ye's plan, but the problem lay with Zhang Ye himself. He did not manage to hold his breath at the last moment and choked on a mouthful of water. Even for a martial arts master like Zhang Ye, holding his breath for two to three minutes while fighting was still very difficult.
It was Zhang Ye!
Zhang Ye said, "Again!"
"Wilson? Go to hell! "
"I can't see anything!"
Zhang Ye shouted, "Begin!"
Get changed.
The Netherlands.
Some of them were directly invited by Zhang Ye to work with them, like Yao Jiancai, Dong Shanshan, and Jiang Hanwei. Some of them were selected through a large number of auditions, like the female lead, Sophia. And some of them, like the American stunt doubles, were recommended by Jacques. He had been filming in Hollywood for many years and knew a lot of people. When he heard that Zhang Ye had a need for these American action stars, Jacques took the initiative to contact them. He even personally helped Zhang Ye to discuss the remuneration for them. Old Jacques was quite a generous person.
"He's already an international star. Why is he still filming in China?"
"Assault team? Go to hell with your grandpa! "
It wasn't easy to film!
Zhang Ye said loudly, "Another take!"
There was no diving suit!
Zhang Ye reached out and took the camera. "Let me have a look at this one." After flipping through it, he said, "This won't do, the angle isn't right. You have to move a little further back."
One!
"Is this really the director's first time filming a movie?"
"You, take a tumble here. Be careful."
"Hello, seniors. My name is Sophia. My father is American and my mother is Chinese. Everyone here is my senior, so please take care of me in the future."
Jacques asked Dong Shanshan, who was next to him, "What did they say?"
Jiang Hanwei nodded.
Zhang Zuo said loudly, "Change into dry clothes first!"
…
Zhang Ye had already changed into dry clothes. "Unrelated personnel, please step back!"
At this moment, everyone in the film crew saw a blur. They saw a figure suddenly running on the boat with open arms and leaping into the vast ocean!
Three!
Jacques said anxiously, "How is that possible! Even in Hollywood, they would need a stunt double for such a dangerous scene! No actor would jump into the ocean without any protection! "
Jacques suddenly sighed and said, "If you Chinese people make movies like this, Hollywood will be finished in less than a decade."
At sea.
"Does he think that anyone can make a movie?"
America.
When he boarded the cargo ship, everyone gathered around him.
"This won't do!"
Ha Qiqi shouted, "Director Zhang!"
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Their minds were filled with question marks!
"I don't think so. Director Zhang is famous for his fast filming speed. It's not like you guys don't know that."
Yao Jiancai applauded.
Ha Qiqi also said, "If something happens to you, what will happen to the film crew? How are we going to film the movie? How are we going to explain this to Minister Wu! "
"This sequence won't be easy to film."
They boarded the ship.
Ha Qiqi said, "Are you alright?"
Jacques and the other American actors were also panicking. "Where's the stunt double? Where's Zhang Ye's stunt double? "
"Is he trying to compete with Hollywood's box office earnings?"
The advantages were too great!
In the morning.
The so-called "one take to the end" meant that the camera would follow the entire sequence without any cuts. For this scene and this scene, it would be the entire three minutes or so of Zhang Ye's fight with the African actors after he jumped into the water until he surfaced. There was no need to breathe, no cuts, and no switching of the scene. As such, there was no need to go through the process of editing the footage after he jumped into the water and fought with the African actors. This was a very common filming technique in Hollywood. It made the scene look more realistic, more immersive, and even more shocking.
Soon after, Zhang Ye boarded the ship again.
Yao Jiancai said dumbfoundedly, "What do you mean?"
Everyone was listening in from below.
The first time!
…
But the second time was still a failure.
Zhang Ye thought nothing of it. "It'll be fine."
Then Zhang Ye said loudly:
"Come on up quickly!"
"Are you serious?"
Jacques facepalmed.
On the Web.
Ten times!
Wolf Warrior 2 officially started filming.
"We'll probably have to continue filming for half a month."
Immediately, there was a wave of applause from below!
Zhang Ye smiled. "It's fine."
There weren't even any diving goggles!
"A foreign film? Go to hell! "
Canada.
"What are we going to film?"
Two minutes.
"I don't agree either!"
Sophia shouted, "Director!"
An hour.
The filming ceremony ended.
"Idiot, he's going to fail this time!"
Russia.
"That's true."
"Remember to maintain a 20-meter distance with the speedboat."
"My name is Ricky, a Hollywood stunt double."
"Where are they?"
"This must be the first time everyone is seeing each other, right? Why don't we introduce ourselves? "
The next moment, amid everyone's exclamations, Zhang Ye jumped into the sea again with a splash!
He jumped in just like that?
"Director Zhang!"
Zhang Ye blew away the seawater on his face. "Let's do another one!"
A rope!
But just as they were about to start filming, an argument broke out over there.
There were too many benefits!
There were also introductions in English.
Zhang Ye directed the set.
For other film crews, the filming ceremonies were just for show. They wouldn't really start filming the same day. At most, they would just shoot a few scenes for show. Those important scenes and big scenes would require a lot of preparation beforehand. But Zhang Ye wasn't like that. He was really going to start filming and even chose to hold the ceremony near the filming location. After giving his speech, Zhang Ye led all of the film crew's actors onto the boat. Everyone would be tagging along for the shoot today. Although a lot of them did not have any scenes to film today and were just idling around, Zhang Ye still requested for everyone to tag along. This was so that he could get the crew to work together as quickly as possible. He also wanted them to familiarize themselves with the filming atmosphere and his style of directing so that they could get into the groove as soon as possible.
"It's a China movie. I heard that it's also a military movie, hur hur."
He was serious!
"Hurry up and save them! Hurry up! "
"There's international news breaking."
Jacques said, "Besides, you're holding your breath during the intense fight. You're playing with your life! Zhang, this isn't a joke! No one can film like this! "
He was putting his life on the line!
The speedboat drove to the preset location!
"Lifeguards, it's been hard on you. Please take care of them."
"Why did the director jump off the boat!" The female lead, Sophia, was also panicking!
Dong Shanshan translated for the American actors, "What do they mean by 'one take to the end.'"
The sea breeze was gentle, and the breeze was not strong.
The netizens from all over the world were treating this as a joke.
Some introduced it in Chinese.
Zhang Ye waved it off and shouted, "Tong Fu!"
Yao Jiancai was dumbfounded. "Where is he? Where is he? "
Yao Jiancai was stunned. "So this is' one take to the end '?"
But Zhang Ye looked at them. "Are you guys the director or am I the director? Should I listen to you or listen to me? "Then he said decisively," Get ready. Let's try this one out first! Everyone, get into position! "
Zhang Zuo did not know what to say. "And why does he have to do one take to the end!"
The netizens from all over the world were in heated discussion.
"He failed to get into Hollywood, so of course he has to film it himself. This Chinese guy is really unyielding. He's really going to become a director himself!"
Dong Shanshan exclaimed, "Zhang 'er!"
"Absolutely not!"
But when the Americans heard that, they were scared out of their wits!
Jacques gave him a thumbs up.
"You, come up when you're done filming underwater."
"Isn't that so?"
"Hollywood? To hell with your grandpa! "
The weather was pretty good.
"Director Zhang, you're crazy!"
Ha Qiqi said with a sullen expression, "He said that he won't be using a stunt double!"
The preparations took the entire morning.
"Then the Chinese guy is going to make a movie?"
"My name is Dolby, and I'm also a Hollywood stunt double."
Zhang Ye stood there and looked at everyone as he gave a speech. "Today, there will be no incense burner, no red cloth, and no sacrifices to the heavens. Let's not talk about the rituals that the film industry uses to offer sacrifices to the heavens. I don't believe in that either. I've always believed that man can conquer nature. A movie is made by people, not given to them by the heavens. That's why I believe in man, and I believe in all of you. I know that a lot of people in the outside world are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. They're waiting for us to fail so that they can stomp on and spit on our faces. Not many people in the world care about us, nor do they care about Chinese movies. They never address Chinese celebrities by their names, but as that Chinese person. They also never refer to a Chinese movie by its name, but as that Chinese movie. This is the arrogance and prejudice that the world has against China. A Chinese person? A Chinese movie? That's fine, I like that term. I'm a Chinese person, and I'm going to make a Chinese movie for them to see! "
When he arrived at the set, Zhang Ye's demeanor immediately changed. It was as though he had been injected with adrenaline. He started taking care of everything, big and small.
But the only flaw was that it was also fatal!
Action!
One minute.
"But what kind of influence can a Chinese movie have?"
His figure disappeared!
Two hours.
The cameras started rolling!
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were getting anxious.
A fight!
A lot of people were getting pumped up!
A lot of people did not understand what this term meant.
Jiang Hanwei immediately rushed forward. "What's going on! Where's the stunt double? "
Thump!
The movie started shooting on the same day.
