The actors in the two worlds were different.
Naturally, it was impossible for the movie to be exactly the same.
For example, the role of the female lead of Wolf Warrior 1, Long Xiaoyun. As there were some flashback scenes, this role was still very important. However, Zhang Ye could not find an actress as unique as Yu Nan even after searching all over the entertainment industry. As such, he decided to use Dong Shanshan instead. When Shanshan put on the military uniform, she had a different kind of valiance to her, so Zhang Ye felt that it was very suitable for her.
Another example was the role of the little boss of the African factory. In his previous world, although Wu Jing used the character of the little fresh meat Zhang Han, Wu Jing's first choice for this role was actually Wang Sicong. However, due to various reasons, Wang Sicong did not join the cast, so he had no choice but to find the little fresh meat. But in this world, Zhang Ye had managed to invite the son of the richest man in China. Even if Boss Qian Jr. was not a professional actor, he was still a genuine second-generation rich kid. When he acted in the role, he would definitely be able to do it better than a professional actor. Moreover, he was also known as the National Husband, so his popularity was much higher than the average celebrity's.
Therefore, when it came to hiring actors, it really depended on luck. The right time, the right place, and the right people were all present.
Boss Qian Jr.
Dong Shanshan.
Yao Jiancai.
Jiang Hanwei.
Jacques.
Zhang Ye was very satisfied with the cast.
This was the perfect list of actors in his mind.
…
The next day.
“CUT！”
"Very good, you passed!"
"This group is done. Everyone, get ready. We'll go to the barracks tomorrow!"
They were almost done with the nonsensical scenes and were only left with the action scenes.
However, to film a martial arts film, a lot of training was essential.
In some movies, they could just use a prop gun to shoot a few shots, and then add in a tank for the special effects. However, Zhang Ye did not want to do that. Since he was going to film it, he had to strive for perfection. As such, he was prepared to use real guns and tanks in the movie. Therefore, the requirements for Zhang Ye, the protagonist, were also very high.
So after the shoot, Zhang Ye began to do the lucky draw.
He opened the game ring and activated the Lucky Halo (Ultimate Version). What he needed now was some skills that would be useful to him when he was filming the movie.
With a twitch …
The second draw …
The third time …
[Firearms Shooting Skill Experience Book 212]
[Tank Driving Skill Experience Book 67]
[Fruit of Power 21]
Zhang Ye was amused.
Guns?
Tanks?
All of them were what he wanted, and there were quite a few Experience Books too.
Although he had eaten a lot of the Fruit of Power, it was never too much.
…
The next day.
Early morning.
Some of the crew members were preparing for the trip to Africa.
The other group of actors who had martial arts scenes were brought to a military base by Zhang Ye.
The guard stopped him. "Show me your identification."
Zhang Ye rolled down the car window. "I'm looking for Commander Fang."
The guard recognized Zhang Ye and was a little excited, but he still made a phone call. A minute later, he quickly opened the railings and let the convoy through.
In the military camp.
Training ground.
Commander Fang personally led the team out.
"Fellow Zhang."
"Old Fang, why have you put on weight again?"
"Did I?"
"When I saw you two years ago, you were still very thin. Did you sit in the office?"
"Why can't you spit out ivory from your dog mouth?"
"Haha, has the training ground been arranged for us?"
"It's all arranged. We've also found instructors. They're all special forces soldiers from our military region."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you for the next few days. The main thing is to train them in firearms and movements. Oh right, where are the guns and tanks that I asked for?"
"Guns are fine, but tanks are not."
"Heh, didn't we agree on that?"
"I thought you wanted scrapped tanks. We have all of those, and you guys often ask for them for your movies. But how can I lend you tanks that are still in service? If you think the scrapped tanks are too fake, you can make some special effects. Isn't that what everyone does? Who would use a real tank! "
"Of course, do you think special effects don't cost money? Hurry up and do it! "
"If you want to go up and have some fun, you can get on any of the main battle tanks in my military region. Your status is different and you're not an outsider to begin with. But you can't make a movie. It's classified military information."
"I don't want the main battle tanks. Just give me a few retired tanks that can still be driven. I'm not picky. Old Fang, you must get them for me. I have a great use for them!"
"Even if I gave them to you, you wouldn't know how to drive them!"
"Just give them to me first."
During his years at the research institute, Zhang Ye had often interacted with people from the military, and Commander Fang was one of them. The two of them had quite a good relationship, so he spoke very casually. If it were anyone else who came to borrow a gun or a tank to shoot a movie, Commander Fang would definitely ignore them. But Zhang Ye's status was different, so he had to give him face.
When everyone saw this, their hearts skipped a beat.
Zhang Ye was practically invincible in the entire military!
…
Later that morning.
The training officially began.
The instructor brought some people over. "Have you ever used a gun before?"
Jiang Hanwei said, "I've practiced a few times."
Boss Qian Jr. smiled and said, "I've been playing with guns since I was 10 years old at the shooting range."
Jacques said in English, "I have a gun at home."
The other American actors laughed and said, "Guns aren't prohibited in America."
The instructor nodded and said coldly, "Alright, let's give it a try then."
At the shooting range.
Bang, bang, bang.
Bang, bang, bang.
The sound of gunshots rang out incessantly.
"Six-ring."
"Third-ring."
"Third-ring."
"Missed the target."
"Third-ring."
Someone was reporting the results.
The instructor shook his head slightly. "You call that using a gun before? At this level, it's not even a tenth of a normal soldier in our military. "
He picked up a gun.
He turned around.
He fired.
"Ninth-ring!"
"Ninth-ring!"
"Ten-ring!"
"Ninth-ring!"
The few of them were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Quite a few special forces soldiers were watching from the sidelines.
The instructor put down his gun. "And your shooting motions and standing postures, none of you are up to standard. From today onwards, I'll be teaching you how to use a gun, and Instructor Li will be teaching you how to fight. I don't care if you're acting, celebrities, or who introduced you here. Here, everything will be done according to military training standards."
Boss Qian Jr. raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't it enough as long as we know how to use a gun?"
Jiang Hanwei said, "Are we going to be serious?"
The instructor said coldly, "This was requested by Fellow Zhang. If you have any questions, go and look for him."
The training began.
Under the scorching sun, the group of actors were suffering unspeakably.
Zhang Ye and the film crew were watching from the sidelines.
Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile. "Director Zhang, will they be able to take this kind of training?"
Zhang Ye said, "They'll have to take it even if they can't. Some of the scenes have to be realistic. It might be easy to pose a few toy guns for a few scenes, but it's obvious that they're fake. The series of actions such as loading and firing must be done professionally. There will be a lot of gun fighting scenes and martial arts scenes in the later stages of filming, so how can they not practice?"
Little Wang said worriedly, "I'm just afraid that the nation's husband will quit."
Zhang Zuo also said fearfully, "Yeah, he's been pampered since he was young. Even when he goes out, he has to take his dad's private jet. Besides, everyone in the country knows that he has a bad temper. Which celebrity in the entertainment circle hasn't been scolded by him before? If he really gets angry, there's nothing we can do about it. "
Ha Qiqi exclaimed, "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. Boss Qian Jr. doesn't seem to be very polite to anyone else, but it seems like he's only polite to Director Zhang?"
Zhang Ye smiled. "I'm friends with his dad."
Little Wang said, "Ah, so that's how it is."
Boss Qian Jr. was indeed very polite to Zhang Ye. This was because he understood that his family did not care about the other celebrities in the entertainment circle because their family also had businesses in the entertainment circle, an entertainment company, and a cinema chain. As such, he could not give face to anyone. But Zhang Ye was different. Whether it was because of his status as Zhang Ye's wife, his status as a Nobel Prize laureate, or his relationship with his father, he still had to be polite to him. Zhang Ye was the only person who had ever visited their house. His parents would personally open the door and stand outside to welcome him. Moreover, the entire world knew that his father, Qian Haitao, was a fan of Zhang Ye's calligraphy. Zhang Ye's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" was still hanging in his house. Other than his father, no one else in the family was allowed to touch it.
Noon.
The actors were sweating profusely and were about to collapse.
Only then did Zhang Ye come out from under the pergola. "Let's take a break."
The instructor nodded. "Let's take a break!"
Jiang Hanwei gulped down two bottles of water.
Boss Qian Jr. collapsed into a chair and did not get up.
Zhang Ye said, "It's been hard on all of you. Everyone, hang in there. Tomorrow, the film crew will be heading to Africa to film and won't be back for some time. You guys can practice here for now. When I get back, I'll start filming the domestic scenes. I also hope that when I get back, I'll be able to see everyone's changes and results."
Jiang Hanwei was getting on in years, so he couldn't take it anymore. "How many days will you be gone for?"
Zhang Ye said, "If it's quick, it'll be 10 days to half a month. If it's slow, it'll probably be a month."
Boss Qian Jr. was starting to lose his temper. "Say, Director, you keep telling us to practice this and that. You're the lead, so why aren't you practicing?"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "I don't need to practice."
Boss Qian Jr. was dumbfounded. "Why don't you need to practice?"
The instructor and special forces soldiers beside him looked at him.
Jacques looked at him.
Jiang Hanwei blinked.
That's right.
Why don't you need to practice?
Zhang Ye shrugged and did not say anything. He walked unhurriedly to the shooting range and looked down. Then he casually picked up a gun, reloaded it, raised his hand, and took aim.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The soldier reporting the target said in a daze.
"10th ring!"
"10th ring!"
"10th ring!"
"10th ring!"
A total of seven shots!
All of them were 10th ring!
Boss Qian Jr. nearly fell off his chair!
Jiang Hanwei was dumbfounded!
Jacques was dumbfounded!
Ha Qiqi was dumbfounded!
The instructor was dumbfounded!
The special forces soldiers were dumbfounded!
Commander Fang, who was watching from afar, was also dumbfounded!
The entire training ground fell silent!
After putting down the gun, Zhang Ye slowly walked back and spread his hands. "I already said that I don't need to practice."
Boss Qian Jr. exclaimed, "Fuck! You're awesome! "
In the distance, the loud sound of a tank suddenly came from afar.
Three or four old tanks that had already been decommissioned slowly drove over. The sound attracted everyone's attention. Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, and many others were seeing real tanks for the first time. They were all a little shocked and finally understood why Zhang Ye insisted on using real tanks. A real tank and a tank that had special effects added to it would definitely be different.
The tanks stopped.
The pilots climbed out of the tank.
Several of them saluted. "Reporting, Commander. Mission accomplished!"
Commander Fang said, "Good. Then he looked at Zhang Ye." Will this do? "
Zhang Ye beamed with joy. "If you had such a good toy, you should have brought it out earlier! And even pushed it against me! "
Commander Fang said in a speechless manner, "Even if I brought it out, you guys wouldn't know how to drive it."
But who would have thought that at the next moment, Zhang Ye would go up and lovingly touch the tank. Then, with a leap, he got into the tank's cockpit. Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, a few seconds later, the tank actually moved. The tank circled around the training ground for a few dozen meters before suddenly drifting and coming to a steady stop.
Zhang Ye opened the tank's lid and got out. "Not bad, this is it!"
Everyone was thrown into disarray!
Commander Fang's jaw dropped!
Boss Qian Jr. was stunned!
Ha Qiqi vomited blood!
The instructor and many of the special forces soldiers were also dumbfounded by what they saw!
What the fuck!
You know how to drive a tank?
You can even fucking drift!?
Then they thought of Zhang Ye's marksmanship!
Then they recalled that Zhang Ye seemed to have flown a commercial airliner before!
This group of special forces soldiers even suspected that if Zhang Ye were to be given an aircraft carrier right now, this fellow would still be able to drive it and fly it away!
What kind of guy is this!
Are you the special forces soldier or are we the special forces soldiers?!
