- "Boom!" Violent explosions sounded continuously. Those explosion points looked very powerful in flames and smoke. In fact, they were not very powerful. As long as the actors did not get closer than half a meter during filming, they were all fakes with only visual and auditory effects. .
However, Zhang Laomou and Chen Kaige were dumbfounded because the pyrotechnicians brought by Wang Zijun could actually control the flames of the explosion to a super close distance of 20 centimeters from the human face. This was unprecedented in mainland China at this time. The film studio simply cannot imagine that there is a risk of accident even if the flame is even one meter away from a person.
It has been more than 20 days since Wang Zijun led the team to Tianjin for filming. For the first ten days, the camera was not turned on at all, but a group of staff were trained. For example, in a big scene with hundreds or thousands of people, Wang Zijun and the few makeup artists were not busy at all. However, we can only temporarily recruit and train some people to dress and make up the extras.
In addition, little thought was spent on repairing the city walls, because the city walls of Tianjin had long been demolished by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. During the Anti-Japanese War, they simply relied on the remaining city walls to build fortifications. The war was not intense, and Wang Zijun did not need to repair many walls. , the reconstruction of the Drum Tower took a lot of effort. A lot of scenery was also made at the old train station, which was the key defensive location of the Communist Party of China at that time.
The Battle of Tianjin was actually very low-intensity, but because it was the first battle that the protagonist participated in in the movie, it was heavily discussed. Wang Zijun did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to rebuild local buildings.
"Assault!" role
The commander of the i army is an actor from the Beijing Film Studio. After raising the command knife, his eyes widened with a ferocious and funny expression. It was from "Tunnel Warfare" and "Mine Warfare"
iThe standard image of an officer.
"Ka!" Wang Zijun suddenly stood up angrily and said angrily. "Please, you are playing the role of capturing Tianjin in one day.
The commander of i Army is not a circus clown! that whoever! "Wang Zijun turned around and shouted, "Brother Chen Kai, what did you tell him?"
"Director, my negligence." Brother Chen Kai immediately raised his hand to admit his mistake, and then ran over to talk to the actors
i Japanese soldier¡¯s actor communication.
After Chen Kaige and Zhang Laomou joined the crew, one became a counselor and the other became the leader of the fifth photography team. The two had no complaints and had a great time working together.
After correcting the acting concepts of mainland actors, the filming continued. Takakura Ken's acting skills were fully utilized here. The male protagonist was excellent in various military skills during enlistment training, but after entering the battlefield, he was a complete recruit. If you don't get to the north, you can only rush along with others.
In the end, the male protagonist Uno Hidekazu burst into a house for no apparent reason and found a Chinese couple hiding in a cupboard. The Chinese couple was so frightened that they trembled all over. Uno Hidekazu's first reaction was to bow and apologize.
Just when Uno Hidekazu was bowing, the Chinese man mustered up the courage. Thinking that he and his wife were going to die, he raised a kitchen knife hidden on his body and chopped at Uno Hidekazu.
Uno Hidekazu raised his bayonet almost instinctively and stabbed the Chinese man to death. Blood spurted out and stained his hands, which were bloody. This was the first person he had killed in his life. He was completely stunned.
It wasn't until the Chinese woman saw her husband's tragic death and stabbed the scissors she was planning to use to commit suicide into his body that the severe pain made Uno Hidekazu wake up. Then, like an ordinary person without military training, he followed The woman struggled on the ground and finally strangled the woman to death in panic.
The two actors who played the Chinese couple were both professionals, both full-time actors from the Beijing Film Studio. Because the stables were close to each other, many of the actors for the scenes in Tianjin were borrowed from the Beijing Film Studio. The wages of these people Much higher than extras, 20 yuan a day.
This is a high salary. Jiang Wen's salary for starring in "Red Sorghum" was only a few hundred yuan.
Brother Chen Kai learned a lesson this time. He communicated carefully with two mainland actors before filming. These actors have very deep skills. As long as they understand the director's intention, they can shoot the scene very accurately, far better than those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The star who became a monk and acted halfway is still strong.
The most indispensable thing in the mainland film industry is talent.
"?? Gao Cang? e Tou Yue Han Nai? Completely ignored the wound on his lower abdomen caused by the scissors, wailing like a wild beast, with a confused and painful expression, but with some kind of strange excitement. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you really wouldn't be able to Imagine that an actor can express such complex information through movements and expressions.
This is already his twenty-fourth time taking this set of shots!
After countless reshoots, Ken Takakura finally exploded in acting under intense pressure.
"That's great!" Wang Zijun couldn't help but applaud. Not only him, but also the Chinese actors who had watched Takakura Kenji countless times also applauded
It's just that Gao Cang's face is pale. In order to perform perfectly, he forced himself into the heart of the male protagonist. He was so deeply involved in the scene that it took a while and a half after the filming. My son actually couldn't get out, so I had to be confused when shooting other scenes later.
"That's it for today!"Wang Zijun said, and quickly called in several psychiatrists and asked them to provide psychological counseling to some actors filming today.
Ken Takakura¡¯s pain has just begun.
Soon, the crew moved all the way from Tianjin to Shanghai, and the evils of war displayed became more and more profound.
It has just begun, these
The Japanese soldiers were still very normal. The young people often joked together and performed various shows in their free time. Even after capturing the city, they would sincerely entertain Chinese children.
However, as they experienced life and death in war after war, these soldiers completely lost their personality and thoughts, blindly followed the command of their officers, and existed as human war machines. They began to despise death, forget about humanity, and only saw victory in their eyes. War and the destruction of enemies.
Not just Gao Cang? After taking a break during the Spring Festival and only filming for more than half a month, Wang Zijun had to stop again. Let everyone go back to spend time with their families. If you want to relax, he will also subsidize some money for everyone to travel.
It wasn¡¯t until April 1989 that the crew of ¡°Holy War¡± finally arrived in Nanjing and began filming the final and most painful part of the film.
During this period, for more than half a year, Wang Zijun basically stayed on the set. When he felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, he returned to Taipei, hid in the gentle nest of his wives to recuperate, and came out to shoot again in a few days.
He is a director, and the psychological pressure he endures is no less than that of Ken Takakura, because he and his deputies came up with all the bloody and ugly scenes. Sometimes he feels sick to the point of vomiting when drawing the shots. And he has all kinds of Nan at hand. Photos of the Beijing Massacre, because these things can bring him creative inspiration. Some people feel sick after seeing a few of these photos, but Wang Zijun had to study every day for two or three months to perfect them. The ground becomes the camera frame again.
Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Liu Dekai, Nicolas Cage and Huang Qiusheng joined the cast one after another. Jiang Wen played a soldier defending Nanjing, Gong Li played a prostitute, Liu Dekai played a young man, and Nicolas Cage is an American reporter, Huang Qiusheng plays a Chinese reporter who accompanies Nicolas Cage to Nanjing for interviews, and Sun Yue, a veteran actor from Wang Films, plays a man who was
The civilians who were tortured and killed by the i army.
The filming lasted until January 1990, which lasted for 16 months, nearly a year and a half.
In the past two years, Wang Zijun did not attend any events, and it seemed that the media had forgotten about him later. If "Gongxin Daily" had not serialized his novel "Heroes" from time to time, people would probably have spread rumors about Wang Zijun's death. .
During the past two years, filming has been intermittently, and Chen Kaige and Zhang Laomou have each filmed a work of their own. Their films have all failed, and Wang Zijun's "Holy War" has not yet been completed.
When the last shot was completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the two consecutive years of suffering were finally over.
Others' work was finished, but it was still early for Wang Zijun. He invited John Williams to score the film. This master is the composer of the "Star Wars" series, "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List" and other films. The soundtrack composer, Wang Zijun, invited John Williams to collaborate with Taiwanese composers Weng Qingxi, Zhou Lanping and others.
Because there is not only Western music in the movie, Wang Zijun also wanted to add some Chinese music into it.
During the post-production, "Holy War" began to use a large amount of computer technology combined with traditional special effects. After nearly three months, the post-production was finally completed.
The director's cut lasted for five hours. The final commercial drama? After watching it, Bai Muyang was speechless for a long time. He really didn't know what to do. The film ultimately cost 7,800 yuan. Can a $10,000-dollar super-hit movie do well at the box office?
Nearly 80 million U.S. dollars? The filming and production period lasted for another two years. At one point, the Wang family was unable to make ends meet and almost went bankrupt. Well, It was only after Wang Zijun used his personal money to lend it to the company to make up for the loopholes that he was able to overcome the difficulty.
If this movie hits the streets, Bai Muyang, the president of Wang¡¯s Pictures, would be tempted to jump off the building.
After two years of silence, the outside world finally got news about Wang Zijun again, and Wang's Pictures began to promote "Holy War".
At the end of April, the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival announced the shortlist for each section of the film industry, and Wang Zijun and "Holy War" were among the list. After receiving the list, entertainment reporters from various countries, even those who did not plan to go to Cannes, all voted for it. For a while, Flights to France are super popular.
Wang Zijun has revealed the news that this may be his last movie, which can't help but make people excited.
