Chapter 654: Although I don't know how to drive a tank, I know how to repair a tank
Upon hearing that Lin Yu didn't need a stunt double,
Wu Jing and Li Chen's expressions changed instantly.
Xu Ke, Chen Kaige, and several other directors also hurriedly interrupted Lin Yu's words.
"What are you talking about! Lin Yu, are you serious?"
"This can't be said casually; you have to know that this scene will be covered with explosion points, and you still have to crawl under a speeding tank; the degree of danger doesn't need to be said."
"You personally going on stage is absolutely not okay, Lin Yu; you are acting in this kind of war film for the first time, your experience with explosion points is not sufficient, let alone these action details. Although your movements in *Running Man* are flexible, this isn't playing a game; it doesn't tolerate the slightest mistake."
"Let's not be stubborn; this kind of thing doesn't need to be fought for."
"Quick, quick, quick, change the clothes for the stunt double."
Everyone persuaded Lin Yu not to be impulsive and act on emotion.
Several action directors and tank soldiers who hadn't seen Lin Yu before rolled their eyes.
Pretending what? Has this little fresh meat ever seen a tank?
This thing weighing hundreds of tons, are you kidding me!
Not a professional, yet wanting to do such dangerous actions—really thinking he is omnipotent? Too ridiculous.
"Director, I just want to say one sentence."
"The audience buys tickets to watch the movie, not to watch a stunt double!"
After hearing Lin Yu's resounding words, everyone was stunned.
This sentence directly tore open the fig leaf of the current Chinese film industry in the entertainment industry, which is pampered and spoiled.
"Good! You guys make good safety measures for Lin Yu, especially knee pads and elbow pads, be careful."
"Drive the tank slowly; if there is any problem, stop immediately."
Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian arranged in an orderly manner.
Both could feel Lin Yu's dedicated love for this job and his serious and responsible attitude toward the profession of an actor, which was somewhat moving.
At that moment, it was as if they saw the most glorious period of Hong Kong films, where actors were fighting with their lives.
The figures of "desperate Sanlang" like Big Brother Cheng Long, Xie Tingfeng, Gu Tianle, and others were reproduced in Lin Yu.
On the scene, they originally wanted to have a rehearsal.
But an accident occurred.
The tank wouldn't start!
"No."
The tank soldier started it for a long time in the inner cabin, only to find that this hunk of iron was motionless.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
Upon hearing this,
The three directors suddenly changed their expressions.
The crew specifically found a battlefield tank from that year. It definitely counts as an old antique.
Originally, they thought as long as it could start, it would be fine; anyway, it was going to be blown up later.
But they didn't expect a problem to appear in the first shot. Of course, this couldn't be blamed on this old antique; the weather recently was around minus 30 degrees, plus this old tank hadn't been started for nearly 40 years, so a malfunction was inevitable.
However, the loss was huge. For this set of shots, more than 500 extras were arranged.
Counting the cost of purchasing the tank.
The pay of various celebrity artists.
If this scene wasn't finished and needed to be reshot, counting everything up, it would cost at least a million.
"Master, don't you have a tool bag? Help me study it."
Lin Chaoxian pointed to the tank in front of him and said politely to the veteran.
"Brother, this, how would I know this?"
The tank soldier sighed and said.
"Sigh!"
Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian looked at the snowflakes drifting in the air, and their hearts were also filled with sorrow.
This film itself was a bit over budget; if this scene wasn't shot, it would mean spending another day looking for a tank from that year. This back-and-forth would probably result in immeasurable losses.
"Damn! Wasn't it fine yesterday?"
Lin Chaoxian couldn't take it, stepped forward, and kicked the tank's track hard.
Many actors on the scene could very well understand the annoyance in the director's heart.
Many scenes before were like this, either because of the actors or because of the props, they stalled.
The huge expenditure of hundreds or thousands of people in the entire crew was like a huge machine; as long as it was turned on, the gears had to turn day and night without rest.
Every minute and every second was burning money!
"Director Xu, don't get angry." ===== CHAPTER 655 =====
