Chapter 137

Today's filming task is in the wild, on a grassland near Johannesburg.

The lions used in this filming are provided by the South African National Zoo. Before filming, the crew had already built a square wire mesh on the grassland. Later, the lions would be put into the wire mesh, and then the camera would film through the wire mesh.

These lions are in a semi-wild state in the South African National Zoo. The keepers will track them, but most of the time they are allowed to survive on the grassland themselves, and the binding effect they can play is relatively limited.

Especially when the lions were just released, one of the keepers was scratched immediately.

Although these lions had no intention of attacking, they just wanted to play with the keeper, but the claws of large cats were too sharp, and even unintentional contact would be bloody immediately.

The keeper's injury also made the hearts of others in the crew beat drums. Looking at the lions in the wire mesh that were still relatively docile, everyone frowned tightly.

Before filming, Director Wu Jin gave everyone in the crew a reminder: "

Turn off all equipment that may make harsh sounds, especially mobile phones. If you can turn it off, don't adjust it to silent.

Another thing is to remember the escape route. Don't look at the wire mesh so strong. If the lions really go crazy, the wire mesh will definitely not last long. Before the keeper anesthetizes them, run as fast as you can."

It would be better if these words were not said. After saying them, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, but there is no way, this is work. Those who can be called by Wu Jin to film must be first-class industry professionals, and professionalism is the first priority.

Not to mention filming through the wire mesh, even if the wire mesh is removed, you have to go up.

Don't think this is an exaggeration. In the Wolf Warrior 2 crew, the actor who guest-starred as the warship commander played Wu Song in Water Margin when he was young.

In order to pursue truth, in this classic scene of Wu Song fighting a tiger, the crew at that time let this actor fight a real tiger!

Although this tiger was pulled from the circus, raised by the animal trainer for many years, and its teeth and sharp claws were also sawed off, but no matter what, it is also a tiger. If it is put now, which little fresh meat dares to go up personally?

Don't mention what he thinks, his fans will spray the person who made this suggestion to death in the first time.

But the older generation of film people dared to do such things. This is also the reason why every classic movie and TV series in the past was a classic.

Wu Jin also wants to use such professional spirit to polish Wolf Warrior 2, but besides professionalism, he cares about the safety of the crew, so he must do the safety measures in place no matter what.

In addition to the wire mesh, there are several hunters holding anesthesia guns outside, and a fire truck. With a little movement, the fire truck will spray high-pressure water cannons to suppress the lions, ensuring the safety of the personnel on the scene as much as possible.

Of course, these are emergency plans in the worst case. Under normal circumstances, these lions will not go crazy. The crew prepared fresh zebra meat for them. After eating and drinking, they are more willing to turn over and bask in their bellies, and don't want to pay attention to the people outside the wire mesh.

After explaining the precautions, the crew officially started filming.

All the focus of this scene is basically on Miss Luo Quan alone. Wu Jin just sits in the off-road vehicle and watches the play, all played by herself.

The plot connects to the previous one. After the two took the off-road vehicle to leave the slum, they drove on the endless African grassland.

Leng Feng received the task to go to a Chinese-funded factory dozens of kilometers away to pick up Chinese citizens stranded there.

Rachel asked Leng Feng: "Are you going to the Chinese-funded factory? I think we should go to the US Consulate. There are Marine Corps there, which is the safest place in the world."

Rachel's words and expressions revealed her pride as a citizen of the Lighthouse Country and her trust in the US military.

Leng Feng smiled and said: "The Marine Corps is the best special forces in the world."

Rachel nodded in deep agreement.

Leng Feng changed the conversation: "But why didn't they come to pick you up?"

Rachel waved her hand helplessly and leaned her body against the back chair: "I have already notified them."

"People? What is your way of notifying them?"

"I @ their Twitter account."

Leng Feng looked at Rachel, his eyes full of the meaning of watching a joke.

Rachel unconvincedly dialed the phone of the US Consulate, but the answer she got was: Welcome to call the US Consulate, unfortunately, we have closed the consulate............"

"fuck!" Rachel, who was angry and ashamed, directly said a classic American national curse and patted the baffle in front of her.

The innocent mobile phone flew up, making Leng Feng and the little black girl Lisa jump.

Looking at Rachel who covered her face to calm herself down, Leng Feng said lightly: "When I came, the warships of all countries had already withdrawn. When I stood on the pier and looked at the sea, among the countless masts going away, I saw a Stars and Stripes."

Rachel glared at Leng Feng fiercely when she heard this.

"Stop." Saying that, she slammed the baffle of the car and shouted: "Stop!"

Leng Feng had no gentlemanly demeanor and stepped on the brake to the end.

Rachel opened the car door with a cold face and left the off-road vehicle.

Up to here, the climax of the whole plot is coming.

Rachel, who walked two steps after getting off the car, found that it was full of lions. This group of lions was eating, and their mouths were full of blood.

Filming to here, the part that tests Miss Luo Quan's acting skills the most is coming. She needs to pretend that there is a lion group in front of her while separated by a wire mesh.

Miss Luo Quan walked to the wire mesh, swinging her hands, and quickly entered the state.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw a group of lions with blood-stained mouths suddenly appear in front of her. A flash of horror flashed in her eyes, her lips trembled lightly unconsciously, and her limbs were stiff like petrification in an instant.

Lisa called her name weakly in the car, while Leng Feng leaned in the car, quietly looking at her.

Rachel, who reacted, decisively turned around, returned to the car with a gentle movement as if not taking away a cloud, and closed the car door.

"The Marine Corps is here to pick you up." Leng Feng said with a smile.

Rachel didn't speak, just used a faint smile to ease the embarrassment and shame in her heart, her eyes kept looking out the window, as if she didn't hear Leng Feng's teasing words.

Finally, Leng Feng stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive forward.

Originally, there was a shot of lions chasing the car here, but this didn't need actors to go up personally. Just pull the long shot and let the zoo keeper do it.

"Perfect!" Several shots were passed once. Wu Jin made a satisfied sound, "Miss Luo Quan. You are really a born actor, just suitable for eating this bowl of rice!"

Miss Luo Quan was modest: "Director praised, this is all everyone's credit."

After the lions were sent back to the car, the hearts of everyone hanging finally let go.

Wu Jin didn't expect that two scenes were filmed in only two days, which was smoother than any previous scene, and this work efficiency was even more agile than those veteran actors before.

If you continue at this progress, their filming task in Africa will be completed soon.

In view of this, in the subsequent filming, Wu Jin did not give the crew employees any holiday, mainly because there were not many shots left.

The Chinese-funded factory is the place where the climax of the Wolf Warrior 2 plot occurs, divided into two parts: interior and exterior. The interior is all filmed in the country, while the exterior will be subdivided into two parts.

One part is the protagonist group fighting with a large group of Red Turban cannon fodder, and the last part is the final battle with the boss.

The former needs a large number of black extras, and the latter will appear with a considerable number of explosion scenes. These are better filmed in the vast terrain of the African film set, so they are all completed in Johannesburg.

As the most exciting part of the whole movie, it basically has nothing to do with Miss Luo Quan, the heroine. She is a thorough vase, and it is not her turn to go to the battlefield.

Originally, the assistant director saw that Miss Luo Quan was so good at skills, and wanted her to go online to the battlefield with Wu Jin. However, considering that her character in the script is a doctor who has no power to bind a chicken, and after adding a woman, many action designs that were designed before have to be modified, and the workload is too large, so Miss Luo Quan failed to add scenes successfully in the end.

It can only be said that the time she entered the crew was too late. If the first heroine Wu Jin found last year was her, it would definitely be enough to complete the script modification in the nearly few months until now.

It can only be said that it is not very coincidental. Miss Luo Quan is destined to be a vase in Wolf Warrior 2.

In the following time, she had no play to film, but she didn't choose to return to Japan to continue school.

Since she applied for a long leave, she must be worthy of the leave note signed by Director Kawamura for her, and spend the whole holiday.

So Miss Luo Quan stayed in South Africa with peace of mind and continued to have a holiday.

Most of the time, she stayed in the hotel room, either brushing Bilibili and YouTube, or thinking about her next plan.

Occasionally, she would go to the filming scene of the crew to see the live situation of Director Wu Jin and them filming.

I have to say, the male actors of Wolf Warrior 2 are really desperate. Director Wu Jin has various high-flying actions. Once when jumping down from a high platform, his hand was entangled by an iron lock, and his whole arm was bright red scars, which made his wife Tian Yu tearful.

Even so, Director Wu Jin continued filming after simply treating the wound.

Teacher Wu Hang is old. When filming a scene of being tied in the air, because he was put down too fast, his waist knocked directly on the ground, which hurt him for a whole day.

But a day later, Teacher Wu Hang also continued to work with a waist injury.

Except for these two, other male actors will also have bumps and bumps, but those who can overcome them basically overcome them, and did not terminate filming because of injury.

With such a work attitude, Miss Luo Quan feels that it is difficult for Wolf Warrior 2 not to explode this time.
