168 Filming (11)
After the lunch break, I was surprised to see the content of the series "Pacific War" I watched back then. The main perspective was through several US soldiers, namely Birmingham, his squad and the officers played by Gene Hackman.
He originally wanted to focus on showing the figure of the Japanese army today, but in the Pacific War, there were few prototype materials that could be lucky enough to survive the post-war period. Moreover, these people were mostly limited to one war and could not connect the entire Pacific War. He had no choice but to choose a few people from different islands to shape it. For example, Takeshi Morihara on Iwo Jima, Lieutenant General Kuribayashi Tadashi on Okinawa, and Manta Kazushima in the future.
Such a shooting method destined to be a strange phenomenon: this drama seems to be a song for Americans' performance in Zhan Zhuo, rather than interpreting this history from the perspective of the Japanese. This perception also made him feel very depressed and wronged: has he become a real Japanese?
There is a lot of work to be done this afternoon, especially part of it that has to be done late into the night and night scenes in Guawu. It is the first time in Iwo Jima. Of course, this part of the work is not urgent, so there is no need to consider so much for the time being.
Ai Fei lit a cigarette and sat at the door of the tent with the camera next to him. Facing the scene inside, he took a deep breath: "Tokugawa, don't walk too fast when you come out later. It is understandable to care about your horse, but it can better express the emotional movements between the characters and the horse. It should be the expression that is reluctant to see the tragic scene in front of you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, Mr. Director, I understand." The character played by Tokugawa in the film is Saigo Ichi. He is also a real equestrian champion in the Olympics. This time he came to Iwo Jima and brought his love to horses. The first is to be reluctant to part ways, the second is to be a habit, and the third is to maintain his own state, he has always had a dream, that is, to wait until the war is over, and to continue to return to the arena and win honors for his motherland again.
Therefore, the garrisons on Iwo Jima often saw him riding his black thoroughbred horse galloping on the streets. He jumped and dodged with various obstacles without hurting anyone, in exchange for cheers from onlookers. What we want to show today is the scene where his horse was blown to death after the bombing of the US plane!
In a word, a sharp air raid sirens sounded on the set, and two soldiers in charge of guards pulled the dual-equipped 10,000 mm anti-aircraft gun. This is a heavy air defense firepower that can be fired at a rapid change of angles. The Japanese came to shoot violently at the US plane that seemed to be attacking: "Tu t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Although it was a completely empty bullet, the effect was almost the same. The sound of the huge gunpowder after being hit was deafening. At this time, the necessary fireworks effect was not brought, otherwise the scene would be more lively! Even so, the situation was enough. Seeing the two young men responsible for operating weapons, their bodies trembled with the vibration of the anti-aircraft gun muzzle. Sweat appeared on their foreheads, but they were not even enough to wipe it for a while, and their bodies adjusted their direction at any time and made shooting actions.
Ai Fei walked over and took pictures of the scene on the helmets of the two people. The scene was too noisy and could not hear the sound of talking at all. He could only rely on movement: "What? Is it OK?"
"Okay, take a break, Ai Fei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Oh, the two of them loosened their shoulders and walked away from the cannon position. Ai Fei did not leave like this. He waved his hands to everyone waiting on the side, leaned on himself, and held the anti-aircraft cannon stand with his shoulders and carried the anti-aircraft cannon stand: "Ah! It's so heavy!"
"What, do you want to try?" Ai Fei didn't say anything, stared straight at the scope. It was the first time he had come into contact with such a device, and he couldn't even aim. After just looking at it for a few seconds, his eyes became cross-eyed: "Well, why are they two?"
Everyone laughed!
After a while of laughter, the shooting continued: "D" trotted through the area where the fire was being exchanged, and took a few steps near the stable. However, the camera suddenly slowed down and followed closely. The man's eyes were filled with tears. As soon as he walked in, the horse would snort and say hello to him, but today, even the horse's figure could not be seen!
No matter how far the road is, it finally comes to an end. Tokugawa slowly walked to the fence of the stable, and tears instantly slid down: "Woooo! What did they do to you?"
The camera turned away, and the horse was lying quietly on the ground, but before she could die, her big eyes were open. She was making the last silent confession to the owner who was getting closer and closer! A veterinarian had treated the horse and gave it an injection, so although it looked extremely desolate in the camera, it actually didn't hurt at all. However, the performance was still going to be: "My" Woo-woo". The big man seemed to cry in front of the camera, and even when Ai Fei announced that the camera was over, he still could not restore Li Xuan to normal emotions.
In fact, it was not only Tokugawa, but everyone felt a little frustrated: the war between humans and humans hurt such kind and beautiful creatures? It was really a sin! This situation was not until the horse was injected into the body that the horse returned to its original live game and gradually subsided.
The night gradually descends on Iwo Jima. Under the dim sunset, the smoke that never dissipates from the top of Zhebo Mountain in the distance has been rising for many years, adding a bit of romantic color to this summer dusk. However, the work carried out in this romantic environment is completely related to its own artistic conception: the shooting machine is placed in the cave. In addition to the faint natural light at the entrance of the cave, some special light sources are naturally required to prepare. The cave, which was originally small, became hot in a very short time because of the lights.
Ai Fei walked to De "near the front, the latter was slapping the collar of his shirt and breeze coolly: "De" Jun?"
"Yes? Mr. Director?"
"Wait for a while, your actions will be dangerous. Have Tsukamoto-kun explained to you the location of the blow-out spot?"
"Hi Wei! Please rest assured, I have completely remembered Tokugawa and smiled: "Don't worry, Ai Jun, this kind of shooting is not the first time for me. I know how to do it?"
"That's good.
.For some reason, Ai Fei always felt uneasy tonight, as if something was going to happen. He called Tsukamoto, who was responsible for the fireworks effect, and once again asked about the preparations for the blowing spot. Tsukamoto naturally patted his chest and guaranteed it. In fact, this was not the first time he had worked in this job. Ai Fei's worries were completely unnecessary for him! I couldn't find any reason or excuse to be nervous when I was drying the umbrella, and I was very absent-minded and shook my hands: "Prepare, let's practice on site."
"How to prepare, is there any problem?"
"Ah, no." Yiben originally walked over one step and took charge of the order of the scene on his behalf: "Each department is ready, let's go to the scene again!"
This time, we are going to shoot the artillery position of the commanded by the US Air Force. After the artillery unit in charge of Sigo I was bombed by the US Air Force, he led the team to retreat into the cave and was preparing to contact the US military on the ground. Before he was about to set off, Sigo I was blinded by a bomb that fell to the entrance of the cave. After handing the team to his deputy, he swallowed his gun and committed suicide.
"Displained with military uniforms and walked slowly to the entrance of the cave. The sky became darker and darker. It was just the situation outside, and then it would turn back to lead the team. It looked very simple, but I didn't expect that something would happen: When Xixiang Yi turned around, the explosion spot that was originally placed at the entrance of the cave suddenly exploded! The banging sound did not cause any harm to the actors, but he was very scared: "Ah! What's going on?"
Tokugawa subconsciously stepped inward, intending to avoid the danger behind him, but he was shocked, his feet were unstable, and his body fell on the hard rock! When he raised his head, his lips, nose, and forehead were filled with blood, which looked particularly tragic under the light.
"Ouch!" Ai Fei hurriedly separated everyone and ran over: "How is it? Doctor? Doctor?"
"Hi! Hi!" The crew had arranged the doctor and hurried over at this time, holding Tokugawa's head gently shaking it a few times, then raised his fingers and slid left and right in front of the injured person: "Look at my fingers?"
"Fortunately, there were no concussions or internal injuries. The reaction was normal." It was confirmed that it was just a skin injury, and the doctor bandaged Tokugawa without mentioning it. Besides, Ai Fei put his hands on his hips and looked at Tsukamoto and his assistant sweating. He looked at the reason for the sudden explosion. He cursed in a low voice: "It's so damn!" After a while, Tsukamoto walked over in shame: "Sir."
"Do you know what's going on?"
“Yes, because of the wet weather, the battery pack is short-circuited,”
"Weather? Are you saying that this accident was caused by the weather?" Ai Fei was furious: "What is the salary I gave you for? Ah! Is it necessary to protect the safety of the cast and crew in addition to completing the screen effects I need? It is not difficult for you to think of a more reasonable explanation? Do you and your people just press the buttons to create a shiny effect? All the others are handed over to the heavens? It's better, but the weather is bad, causing a short circuit accident. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
Tsukamoto was slapped by him and sweated heavily, and kept bowing to apologize: "I'm sorry, sir. This is all my negligence, please forgive me!"
"Of course this is your negligence!" Ai Fei didn't know why he got such a big temper, and even cursed his swear words: "This is just a small-scale bombing site placement at the entrance of the cave. What if it is in a scene with a larger number of people? What if more people were injured because of your so-called weather? Do you think your apology alone can make up for it?"
"coffee…"
"Go and let your people, from battery packs to detonators, to presses, and then to everyone. Is there any clothes that may cause static electricity on their bodies? I don't want to hear any inappropriate sounds anymore! Go quickly!"
"Ah, yes!" Tsukamoto bowed in a panic and ran away quickly. He could still hear his roar from afar: "Did you guys hear what the director said? Hurry up and do a detailed inspection for me? It's all you, you are causing me trouble!"
Here, Ai Fei walked to De, who was bandaging the wound, "Look closer: "How is he?"
"I'm nothing. Ai Jun." Tokugawa raised his head, so that the blood in his nose stopped flowing out, but it was difficult to resist the pain from his lips. God knows that one of his front teeth was broken! "Please wait, I'll do it in a while.
"Let's forget it? You'll take a break tonight, and after all you have done, we'll continue shooting tomorrow."
"Sir", please wait!" Tokugawa stopped him again: "Why not just do that? Isn't it just enough to save time on makeup?"
"Uh," Ai Fei was moved: "Are you sure you can?"
"Yes, sir. I'm sure." Ah, yes!"
Ai Fei burst out laughing: "Okay, I'll bandage it in a while, and we'll officially start!"
It was officially started, but there would be no more explosion scenes. Instead, it was directly filmed the scene after Saigo Yi was injured. Survivors of the artillery troops who had been dispersed were gathered in the cave. The only common point was the pity and unbearable expression when looking at the commander. Saigo Yi was a commander who was loved by soldiers. This was confirmed by Ai Fei's original search for information through a diary and interview with a few very limited parties: "Sigo Jun?"
"Help me up!" The only gauze on Tokugawa's face for performance was the piece covered with his eyes. The others were all used in real use. With the support of the adjutant, the man stood up: "Qimizu-kun?"
"Yes!" Kiyomizu was his adjutant. He raised his chest next to him and replied loudly.
"The army can only be handed over to you. Remember to take them out and go back to your Lieutenant General!"
"Sir?"
"Don't interrupt me! Listen?" Saigo Ichi roared irritably: "You must bring everyone" safely to the Lieutenant General. He will give you the next instructions. Remember, if you see him alive, no one will be allowed to die before this! Do you understand?"
"Qimizu, I'm talking to you, are you mute?"
"Ah, hey! I understand! Sir!"
Sigoichi's head turned around in the cave. Although his eyes were blindfolded and he could not see anything at all, the corners of his mouth and the rapidly inciting nose still clearly showed the owner's mental state. In the camera's camera, Tokugawa's right hand was slowly raised and a standard military salute was greeted! "Gentlemen, I'm honored to be able to work with you!"
"Your Excellency!" Adjutant Shimizu's face was full of tears. Of course, he knew what Saigo said meant: "You, we can bring you with you."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Saigo Yi rudely interrupted the adjutant: "Qingmizu, leave your weapon to me!"
Xixiang sat alone in the darkness. He slowly put the rifle at his hand, then took off his shoes, and inserted the trigger with his big thumb on his right foot: "Click!"
"The man took off the gauze covered with his eyes and stood up: "How is it okay?"
