Chapter 633: Finishing and Returning to China
South Africa.
The filming location of "Wolf Warrior 2" crew.
The roaring sound of the engine was heard, and the sound was extremely loud, attracting the attention of all the members in the play.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them with blank faces, not knowing what was happening, and thinking to themselves: Why are there still tanks coming in?
When they saw Tan Yue coming out and greeting the person in charge of the team, everyone realized that it was the tank that was going to be used in the plot.
The shooting scene instantly became lively.
"Damn it, these are not real guys."
"This is the first time I've seen something like this with my own eyes."
"Director Tan, this is so awesome. You can borrow such things abroad."
"Hey, I thought I could use models before, but I actually did it for real."
"With just these tanks, I think there will be no problem with the movie's box office. I haven't heard of any domestic movie that uses real tanks in filming."
At this moment, several tanks have been parked at the photography venue, and a cordon has been set up around them, with several people guarding them.
Being able to borrow these tanks locally was thanks to Ye Wen's continuous help in setting up connections.
As soon as Tan Yue called, Ye Wen agreed.
Ye Wen was very shocked when she heard that. Others used models to make movies, and later relied on special effects to complete them. The best thing was just to modify it and put a tank shell on the outside of the tractor, but when it came to Tan Yue, Just fuck the real guy.
Although it took a lot of effort, I still managed to borrow it.
Zhang Shengli was gearing up. When he read the script, there was a scene about driving a tank. He thought it would be done with special effects. After all, tanks are not something that anyone can use if they want. Now it seems that he really underestimated Tan Yue. ability.
Thinking about driving a real tank, Zhang Shengli felt an irresistible urge. This could be regarded as fulfilling his dream of becoming a soldier, and it was also something to be proud of.
While the crew was filming other scenes, Zhang Shengli began to become familiar with the driving mode of the tank under the guidance of professionals.
It didn't take long for this experienced driver to master the driving skills.
The most exciting part of the whole drama is driving a tank to drift. In order to present this segment with the best visual effect in front of the audience, Zhang Shengli practiced over and over again and finally mastered the drifting technique.
It was shown on the scene, causing the whole crew to scream.
Just seeing this kind of scene on the spot is a bit exciting. After post-processing, the visual effects will definitely be even more shocking.
Everyone thought that the audience would see this segment on the big screen in the cinema, with excited smiles on their faces and full of expectations in their hearts.
China.
The weather is getting warmer and the bare branches have grown back into leaves and of course the very annoying cottonwood catkins.
It's already May 8th.
The crew of "Arms 2".
Everyone was quietly waiting for Wu Macro to watch the clips he had just shot. At this moment, there was a hint of nervousness on their faces, but more of them were excited.
Wu Hong took the loudspeaker and said hoarsely: ""Arms 2" is officially finished!"
Although there were some problems in the early stage of filming, after getting on track, the subsequent filming went quite smoothly, almost in line with Wu Hong's estimated completion time.
Wu Hong is now very satisfied that "Arms 2" can be released in the summer.
Everyone cheered.
"The filming is finally finished. I must take a good rest after I go back."
"Ah, I feel relaxed all over at this moment, and the fatigue on my body is gone immediately."
"I've had waist pain and back pain in the past few months. Even if I don't have kidney deficiency, I have to find a shop for a good massage when I go back."
"Take me one and I'll go too. I haven't had a good time to relax in half a year."
Qin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair on the set, as if all the energy in his body had been drained away.
This is the most tiring movie he has ever taken on, not only physically but also mentally.
In order to make the actors in the play look more like soldiers, before filming, Wu Hong would ask them to run a few laps every day to strengthen their physical fitness.
As for psychologically, in the past half year, he had been living on tenterhooks every day on the set, fearing that he would be scolded if he was not careful.
Now there is finally relief.
As soon as Qin Feng sat down and enjoyed a moment of comfort, he was pulled to take a photo.
After a period of excitement, Wu Hong said: "Tonight, we will hold a closing banquet, and everyone must come over then."
Cheers came from the scene again. Not only will there be delicious food at the closing banquet, but there may also be red envelopes. For a drama like this from a great director, red envelopes are indispensable.
Because they saw Wu Hong's "tyrant" side on the set, everyone was a little hesitant to take photos with him. However, when they saw someone taking photos, Wu Hong always smiled and cooperated, and everyone relaxed and rushed forward. Go take a photo.
Qin Feng, who was on the side, saw that Wu Hong's current state was similar to the scene when the two met in the company. He felt confused and wondered in his heart: Could it be that Wu Hong has a dual personality?
At this time, Wu Hong came over and wanted to speak softly, but he couldn't make a sound. He coughed lightly and said with a little difficulty: "Xiao Feng, you have worked hard during this time."
Qin Feng said quickly: "Everywhere, it's all for our movie. All the hard work is worth it."
The two were then pulled to take photos.
The next day.
The news of the completion of "Arms 2" has attracted major media to report, and it quickly spread in the entertainment circle.

"Arms 2 is finally finished. Please hurry up and release it. I can't wait to watch it."
"There hasn't been a single exciting movie since the Chinese New Year. I hope that Arms 2 can speed up and meet us fans as soon as possible."
"I miss the scene of watching Arms 1. I wonder if the second part will be just as exciting?"
"In which month will Arms 2 be released?"
"I just noticed that all the male actors had short hair at the wrap-up party, especially Qin Feng. I didn't expect him to look so energetic with this hairstyle. I'm looking forward to his performance in this movie."
With the help of marketing accounts, the news of the wrap-up of Arms 2 quickly became a hot search on Weibo.
This kind of popular movie almost causes heated discussions online every time it releases a piece of news.
This is also what Qin Da and Wu Hong are happy to see.
Only when the movie is popular will the box office not be disappointing.
The popularity of Arms 2 on the Internet is getting higher and higher.
May 17.
The weather in Africa has not changed much. It is still sunny and breezy.
The crew of Wolf Warrior 2.
Tan Yue, surrounded by Zhang Shengli, Xin Zhi and others, explained carefully: "When Teacher Zhang raises the national flag, your eyes must be firm. The camera will give you a close-up of your faces. You must show the strength of the country on your faces. Let the audience feel proud to be born in our country when they see this scene."
Everyone nodded and discussed how to act this part.
Tan Yue left to organize the placement of props on the scene, and let them find the feeling by themselves.
Today is the last scene of Wolf Warrior 2, and it can be finished after filming.
Half an hour later, Tan Yue, who was in front of the monitor, took the walkie-talkie and said: "All departments are ready. Let's try shooting the last scene first."
There was a roar from several cars on the road, and several cameras on the scene kept changing their positions with the position of the car.
"Okay, click." Tan Yue came to the front of everyone and continued: "Teacher Zhang performed very well, but the eyes of others were not good enough. The car went back and we did it again."
The car went back to its original position, and everyone took a deep breath and adjusted their state.
"Start!"
Everyone looked at the army in front of them in panic, and Leng Feng said firmly: "Brother, give me the national flag."
Leng Feng was injured, and with the help of everyone, he climbed to the front of the car with some difficulty and hung the national flag high on his arm.
Knocked on the front of the car: "Drive."
The camera kept adjusting, giving close-ups of everyone, and Tan Yue looked at the several monitors in front of him without blinking.
Until the vehicle entered the camp, Tan Yue shouted loudly: "Click."
After shouting, Tan Yue replayed it and watched it twice in a row. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and smiled: "It's passed, we're done."
After the start of "Wolf Warrior 2", the shooting progress has been quite smooth. The fact that it can be finished so quickly is inseparable from the efforts of every member of the crew.
When the vehicle entered the camp, everyone was cheering, and when they heard Tan Yue shouting that it was finished, the shooting scene became even more lively.
"It's finished, we can finally go home."
"It was not easy to shoot this movie. This is the first time I've stayed abroad for such a long time."
"I must have a big meal when I get home. I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time."
"The environment here is pretty good, but I think home is better."
During the four months abroad, no one in the crew went home. They were busy every day. At the moment when the film was finished, everyone missed home.
The Africans around the shooting site of the "Wolf Warrior 2" crew were very enthusiastic. After this period of getting along, the friendship between everyone became deeper.
Many foreign actors came to Tan Yue and took photos with him.
"Tan, I've had a great time with you during this period. I wonder if I'll have a chance to see you again in the future."
Tan Yue smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I'll call you next time I come, and remember to buy me a drink. When you come to our place, remember to call me, and I'll buy you a drink."
"Keep in touch, you're the first foreign friend I know."
Tan Yue raised his arm, bumped his fist and said: "I'm also very happy to meet you, keep in touch."
The actress who plays Nesa in the play, the mother of Leng Feng's godson, is also a relatively fat person. She hugged Tan Yue with a bear hug and said excitedly: "If you come here to film in the future, I will still be your actor."
Tan Yue steadied his feet and almost fell down, saying, "No problem."
At Tan Yue's suggestion, all the actors and behind-the-scenes staff of the "Wolf Warrior 2" crew stood together for a group photo.
Tan Yue stood in the crowd and shouted, "After returning to China, we will hold a wrap-up party at the Beijing Tianling Hotel. Everyone who has nothing to do should go there."
"Okay"
The photographer pressed the shutter and took the last group photo of the "Wolf Warrior 2" crew abroad.
The staff at the shooting site gradually left.
After the last vehicle carrying the shooting equipment slowly left, Tan Yue watched the site built in front of him being dismantled bit by bit. He was very reluctant to leave after being busy in this place for several months.
Tan Yue sighed in his heart, "Maybe there will be few opportunities to come here in the future."
After returning to the hotel, everyone was already packing up.
They will take a special plane back to China early tomorrow morning.
Seeing that they are about to go home, they can't suppress their excitement.
Tan Yue put things in the suitcase while talking on the phone with Chen Ziyu.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
All the crew members of "Wolf Warrior 2" gathered downstairs. After a while, several buses left the hotel one after another.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, everyone remembered how excited they were when they first came here a few months ago.
Now thinking about the days of filming here, I still feel a little reluctant.
"I feel a little reluctant to leave this place suddenly. I am afraid that I will never have the chance to come again in the future."
"You are right. The scenery here is quite good, but the place is a little far away. Without a small long vacation, it is not fun to come here."
"When you are free, it is still worth a visit here. The scenery is good and the locals are enthusiastic. There are still many places to see."
"I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see my big brother in Africa in the future."
The crew members sitting in the car felt a little sad.
Tan Yue was also sitting on the bus at this time, listening to everyone's discussion.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the airport.
After Tan Yue boarded the plane, he actually met the chief steward from last time. Unexpectedly, the company still chartered the same plane as last time. He smiled and said, "Mr. Tan, I am very happy to serve you again."
Tan Yue also responded with a smile.
Hearing the captain's voice, everyone was excited thinking about seeing their families soon.
Chen Ziyu's figure appeared in Tan Yue's mind. Although the two talked on the phone every day, he still missed her very much.
Chen Ziyu was processing documents in the office. When she saw the message from Tan Yue that he had boarded the plane, she could no longer concentrate on her work. Her mind was full of Tan Yue.
The more you look at the time, the slower it feels.
Chen Ziyu would look at the time every time he looked at the documents, and it seemed as if time had stopped.
At 8 o'clock in the morning South African time, the special plane chartered by the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2" took off and embarked on the journey back to China.
