Chapter 1422 The Charm of "Wu"

There is not much innovation, no new shooting techniques, and no sharp plot settings.

In the movie "Wu", you will see quite a lot of familiar scenes, which were once considered classic or memorable plots. Under the direction of Chen Hao, it is presented in a more modern way, bringing you richer visual shock.

When Jackie Chan jumped between two buildings, the distance of a few meters was not the key, but the high altitude and dangerous degree made the audience feel excited.

Today, everyone has long felt that there is nothing surprising about such scenes. After watching too many, many movies are using them. Even if the protective measures are complete and not too difficult, the effect of the pictures is the same. The audience has also had a certain degree of visual fatigue after watching too many. When it comes to Chen Hao, he increased the distance between the buildings, and there is really no protective facility. When shooting, everyone's heart was in their throat. It is no wonder that no insurance company is willing to accept his insurance policy. With his fame and influence and the amount of insurance, if something really happens, it will definitely make the insurance company cry.

Don't underestimate the distance of one or two meters. The difficulty increases exponentially. If you really want to make a leap in the air, in order to prevent Chen Hao from doing it again, the camera positions have to be adjusted to ensure that there is no mistake, and the scene must be shot from as many angles as possible.

For a full seven days, the special effects team of the crew arrived here in advance to prepare. When shooting "Wu", three groups of action designers and special effects teams took turns to take action. Sometimes a fourth group had to be temporarily formed. With so many dangerous actions, they didn't want to reshoot because of insufficient preparation. Mr. Chen demanded excellence. If he was not satisfied with any mistake, he would reshoot. The risk factor of one time and the risk factor of two times, everyone needs to bear greater psychological pressure.

From Mr. Chen's willingness to really shoot the scene of himself being beaten, everyone knows how determined he is. At that time, he asked you to play against a Muay Thai master. He really used all his strength to hit, and the opponent was a little afraid. As a result, after several attempts, he found that he really couldn't hit at all, so he tried his best in every attack.

There are some traces of Chen Hao's performance in the opening scene. His strong physical fitness makes his ability to withstand blows reach a very high level. Except for the real blood spraying from his mouth and nose, the rest of the whole process is indeed a bit of performance. He is very sure that no one can see his performance. Even the crew members on the scene will not think it is a performance, because they have seen with their own eyes that a Muay Thai master kicks a wooden stake and breaks it. That strength cannot be faked. That is Mr. Chen. If it were someone else, he might be seriously injured in one go. It is not uncommon to say that one kick can kill someone.

If you can be so cruel to yourself, what about others? What about the things that are about to be completed?

After seeing this scene, no one in the entire crew would have a fluke mentality. They all took a 100% serious attitude in their respective positions and worked hard to complete every job that belonged to them.

When the screws are of guaranteed quality, the whole crew becomes very transparent. There is no reason to say that the work is not done well enough. When arranging the work, they will ask you if you can do it. If you can do it, there is no reason to report the imperfect completion.

A film that does not seem to be so outstanding in all aspects, and is barely above the passing line in terms of technology and plot, but this movie has touched everyone. Even if you are not moved, you will be deeply attracted by the pictures. This is a movie that can make you secrete adrenaline and make you excited from time to time.

On the scene, people who clenched their fists from time to time to show that they are very excited cannot be counted by number and number of times. Anyway, they have all had similar actions. The difference is how many times you do this action.

From the thrilling actions in the big scenes to the real fist-to-flesh fighting techniques and martial arts action displays, it is not just Chen Hao. There are too many behind-the-scenes heroes in this film. They are all real. In other crews, injuries due to filming are considered a small accident, and the actors themselves may be a little unhappy, but in the crew of "Wu", no one is not injured. Before, everyone thought that Chen Hao might always win as the protagonist, and there was a little bitterness in their hearts, but when they saw him being beaten badly, this little bitterness turned into sincere admiration.

Turning back to their own scenes, who would not fight hard? The crew alone had several surgeons and traumatologists, and there was no way to fix the actors for many scenes. A large number of people from the entire crew followed. Sometimes Zhang San was filming a scene, and the fight was not filmed well, but Zhang San was slightly injured. Those who could persist were fine, but if it was on the face, then Li Si had to take over the filming, and wait until Zhang San's injury healed, and then find another role for you.

Shooting in this way, the efficiency was maximized, and it took more than four months to shoot, which is almost the same as the shooting time of "The Three-Body Problem" and "Galaxy 2" combined.

Bruce Lee's punches used to require slow-motion playback to see his punches clearly. Now Chen Hao has also reproduced such classic scenes. With the current better shooting technology and post-production technology, it is not monotonous to just slow down the punches, and some pictures from different angles will be mixed in, presenting a better effect.

The 108-minute feature film gives all viewers the feeling of being done in one go. From the beginning to the end, the whole person is in an extremely excited state, full of expectations for the next second of the film. At this time, the simplicity of the plot becomes the biggest advantage. There is no need to make a lot of gorgeous things. There is only a main line and a group of supporting roles. The details are simply presented. The whole movie is still based on the main line. The story is told very clearly. The appearance of each supporting role is also explained clearly. Although it is not justice defeating evil in the traditional sense in the end, it is not deliberately complicated to show off skills.

Only when the story is simple can people focus all their attention on the picture and distinguish the main from the secondary. At the end of the film, some people have a very clear impression: "The best part of this film is undoubtedly that everything is real. In addition, the entire arrangement is invincible. There is no big action scene or action martial arts scene that does not conform to the characteristics of the plot. All of them appear where they should appear, rather than overriding the plot for the sake of showing these scenes or simply compiling a little side story that does not conform to the main plot."

When the film ended and the ending credits appeared, the lights were not on. At the end credits were all the people who contributed to this film. Chen Hao also repeated the Easter egg method that Jackie Chan liked at the beginning, showing the behind-the-scenes clips that were worth keeping during the filming at the end credits for everyone to see, and also telling you that when you see the extremely exciting scenes, all the cast and crew paid a lot for the scenes that may only last for two or three seconds.

I don't know who took the lead, but soon the whole audience stood up and watched the end of the film standing up. In the documentary of the end credits of "Wu", the most common ones were not actors, but doctors in white coats. Except for Chen Hao who had some big moves, almost none of the actors who appeared in the behind-the-scenes were intact. Almost all of them were injured. Chen Hao was also like this. Not only was he beaten in the opening, but there were also some hard bruises on his body during some big special effects moves. There were also scenes where he was so tired from filming that he asked a medical masseur to massage him. He knew what was going on with him. I could maintain my condition. For the progress and efficiency of filming, I would definitely be the most efficient to cooperate with others.

The filming lasted for more than 40 hours. He was not resting on the road during the journey, but was styling and putting on makeup in the RV. In other words, except for the time for eating and taking a shower and putting on makeup, he almost never stopped filming for more than 40 hours, and filmed more than a dozen scenes. For many crews, a scene in "Wu" may take several days to prepare for filming, and there may be problems in the middle, and N cameras may have to reshoot.

To be able to shoot more than a dozen scenes in a row, more than 200 staff members were mobilized, and the actors who acted with him were replaced several times. Everyone was in good shape. Chen Hao was even less likely to take a break. He seemed to be pursuing his victory. He shot one scene after another and was very excited. In those more than 40 hours, he was able to shoot several scenes in a row in one take.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to do such an action scene. After the more than 40 hours of shooting, Xiao Di, who came to visit the set, couldn't bear it anymore. The crew members stared with red eyes, and their appearance looked ferocious no matter how you looked at them. This was the scene that had just been shot. The actors were all in good shape, and the effect of the shooting was also very good. It was only two scenes that were shot N times.

The wife of the king did not get angry. At that time, the little look in her eyes could not stand anyone she saw. It seemed that she was very sorry for not taking a good look at Mr. Chen and letting him shoot so hard.

It was only after Chen Hao coaxed Xiao Di and promised to take a break after filming one more scene that the matter was considered settled. There were only a few scenes at the end of the film. After the film was released, many actors in the play were interviewed. Every actor who accepted a long interview would put this matter first when talking about the profound things of the crew. That kind of hard work was not about risking one's life or rushing the progress. It was a very awesome state that everyone found after running in for a period of time. It was very rare and the filming was also very exciting. Everyone wanted to finish all the scenes on that day to ensure the best effect.

The last behind-the-scenes shot at the end of the film was the shot of Chen Hao being knocked down and vomiting blood at the beginning of the whole film. After a cut, the doctor immediately surrounded him to treat his injuries.

The picture was cut off at this second, the end credits appeared, and the lights on the scene lit up...
