The filming of the pastoral scenery of Epen Town lasted four days and ended, which greatly exceeded the expectations of director Liu Weiqiang. He originally planned to spend a week here to get used to the running-in between the actors of the two countries.
However, Long Fan¡¯s outstanding performance was not inferior to that of the superstars, which greatly shortened the progress. The expected gap between him and the foreign actors did not appear, as if the actors had a unique language and could communicate freely.
Long Fan even took advantage of the break to learn a few useful Korean sentences from the two Korean actors, so that he could use his lines in the future.
The next filming location is Haarlem, a small town one hour's drive from Amsterdam, where the most central scene in the film is about to take place in a square called Grotemarktm.
The misunderstood detective, the forgotten killer, and the painter simply looking for a beautiful first love will all show their status and life here.
¡
Windmills, yachts, mansard roofs When these scenes with Dutch characteristics appeared, Long Fan, who was sitting in the car admiring the scenery through the window, felt like he had truly arrived in the country of tulips.
"Has Mr. Long Fan traveled to Europe before?" The Chinese driver in charge seemed to notice Long Fan's novelty of the scenery outside and asked with a smile.
Long Fan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's the first time."
??Actually, let alone coming to Europe, this trip was also the first time Long Fan left China. He had never had such a shooting opportunity before.
However, the feeling of shooting abroad is indeed very different from that at home. Not only are there some changes in the shooting methods, but it also allows Long Fan to see more shooting techniques and advanced tools, which is an eye-opener.
Led by the first car, Long Fan quickly arrived at the center of this small town. Get off the bus at the edge of the Grotemarkt and follow the crew towards the inside of a building.
This is a five-story old-fashioned house. It seems that the owner wanted to maintain its unique style, but it was simply renovated and turned into a nostalgic Plaza Hotel.
Old houses in the Netherlands are famous for saving space. The whole building is as tall and narrow as the Dutch. The internal stairs are the steepest and narrowest in the world.
Fortunately, the old house chosen by the crew this time can barely accommodate two people walking side by side, so it won¡¯t even be unable to withstand the filming equipment.
"Okay, I wish you a smooth shooting." After briefly explaining some things. The owner of the house. A blond Dutch man said hello politely and turned to leave.
I heard that the crew came all the way from Asia to film the film, and they are quite famous production members. In addition to the landlord only charging a nominal amount of rent, officials from the local tourism department and security department also gave the crew the green light, almost as long as the crew requested it. We will help provide venues and human resources at any time, including reviewing the props and guns involved in filming and issuing certificates in the shortest possible time.
Not long after arriving here, Long Fan¡¯s exclusive prop was carried up by two people, a rectangular black leather suitcase.
As soon as the suitcase was opened, it attracted the attention of everyone in the room - a black sniper rifle full of metal texture and a silencer was clearly visible.
¡°Cool~¡± the Dutch staff standing aside couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
"This gun is a shooting gun modified from the SL9SD model sniper rifle of the German HK company. Except for the different internal structure, other parameters are exactly the same." The prop master stood aside and explained to Long Fan, "The total length of the gun body is 1150 mm. With the silencer included, it weighs a total of 4.6 kilograms.¡±
"Can you try it?" Even if he wasn't a gun fan, Long Fan couldn't help but want to pick it up and experience the feeling of holding a gun when faced with such a handsome and sharp sniper rifle.
"Of course, he is yours from now on." The prop master joked, and then reminded, "Remember it's best not to touch it with sweat. And don't pour other liquids on it. Even though it's a prop gun, But it¡¯s also expensive and the customization process is cumbersome.¡±
Long Fan nodded. "Understood."
Then, under the envious gazes of everyone, Long Fan wiped his hands, carefully picked up the powerful gun from the box, and held it in front of his chest, making an aiming gesture.
In addition, a revolver prop used for assassination was also given, which is also Long Fan's "standard equipment" in this drama.
Due to previous restrictions, Long Fan was not well prepared for shooting, so he could only receive professional shooting training here.
"This is Nico. A former member of the Dutch Emergency Special Forces BBE, he is now responsible for firearms instruction for some films and TV shows. He will teach you how to control these two guns." With that, the deputy director turned around and led the newly arrived center. A young man, a European man with a sharp eyebrow.?.
"My name is Nico. I'm glad to meet you. I will provide you with suggestions and training on gun use throughout the process." After shaking hands with Long Fan solemnly, the temporary instructor continued, "I saw your The script, I have a general understanding of the scenes where you use guns in the film, there isn¡¯t a lot of gun-toting action, and I¡¯d like to start our training as early as possible if you have time.¡±
Hearing this, Long Fan couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. After all, he is a resolute soldier who does what he says.
Since the instructor made the request, Long Fan had no reason to refuse. After saying goodbye to the other staff except the translator, he immediately started one-on-one shooting training with the instructor who stayed behind.
There are still two or three days before the shootout is scheduled. Although it is not enough time, it is enough for Long Fan to learn the basics of holding a gun and shooting.
Although it was a model gun, the instructor from the special forces in front of him was not careless at all. Just like a German, he explained to Long Fan the detailed data structure layout of the gun, as if he regarded the model gun in front of him as a real one. Gun to treat.
"When the time comes, you will shoot outward through this position, stand here and try." After teaching Long Fan the most basic way to hold a gun, the European instructor motioned Long Fan to stand in front of the window and start aiming training.
In the play, in order to show the superb shooting skills of the killer Pu Yi, the actor was required to give up the gun holder and hold the barrel of the gun with his arm to shoot.
Despite systematic training, Long Fan's physical fitness is now different from usual. However, lifting a gun body weighing nearly five kilograms in the air without support still makes Long Fan feel more and more strenuous.
Standing in front of the window, Long Fan aimed the gun at the square based on the content of the script he had seen before, while staring at the scope as if he was ready to shoot at any time.
"The movements are a bit too stiff. It seems that you still need a lot of contact." After confirming that the posture was OK, the instructor put forward higher requirements for Long Fan, "You need to continue to practice lifting like this until it is time to shoot. You can put the gun in place naturally."
"Okay, I will try my best." Long Fan put down the muzzle of the gun and panted slightly, "But this thing is really heavy"
"ßÑ"
Before Long Fan could finish speaking, the quaint wooden door was kicked open from the outside. Two Dutch policemen with pistols rushed in quickly, aiming their guns in Long Fan's direction and shouting, "Police, put down." All the weapons in your hands!"
This move also startled Long Fan in the room. He almost reflexively raised the prop gun in his hand and aimed at the opponent.
However, the instructor next to him moved more quickly. After shouting "no", he reached out to press down the barrel of the gun that was almost raised in Long Fan's hand. At the same time, he said to the policeman, "This is a prop gun. There must be some misunderstanding!" "
¡°First put down the weapon in your hand!¡± the policeman on the other side insisted unmoved.
The translator on the side raised his hands and said softly, "Put down the things in your hands first, it's a bit troublesome."
"Ok, ok" After hearing the translator's words, Long Fan leaned over and carefully put the gun back into the box, and then said to the translator, "Didn't you tell them that we were here to film?"
The translator shrugged, "I told you, but maybe something went wrong."
Afterwards, two policemen came over and checked the three of them. After confirming that Long Fan and others had no weapons on them, they breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you do?"
¡°This is a crew from Asia, Mr. Police Officer, it has been registered with the security department before.¡± The special forces instructor who was extremely calm from beginning to end explained, and then took out a certificate from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
One of the police officers wondered, "We do understand that there will be a crew filming here recently, but the notice says that filming will not start until two days later. Is it you?"
"Officer, our Asian friend has never been exposed to firearms. I am here to help him train." The instructor said a little helplessly, "You can contact your superior to ask. This house also belongs to the crew for the time being."
The two policemen looked at each other, and then there was a burst of Ula Ula's words from the communicator. Apparently they had contacted the main force before rushing into the door.
At this time, the response from the headquarters was, "These people are members of the crew, not terrorists. Please tell the reporter that there is no need to panic."
"Okay." Now it was the turn of the two Dutch policemen to feel embarrassed. They explained while putting away their guns, "Just now some unsuspecting tourists said that they accidentally saw a terrorist in this house pointing a gun at the square, so they After reporting the crime, the two of us happened to be patrolling nearby and were arranged to come over and take a look. I¡¯m sorry we were impulsive.¡±
"It doesn't matter to us, it's just that you have to deal with the house when the trouble comes."What about this door" Long Fan, who was quite speechless, pointed behind the two policemen.
The originally good wooden door had its upper fasteners kicked off, and now it was hanging on the door frame at an angle, like a prisoner struggling to his death. This shows that the policeman who kicked the door was quite strong.
"This we will find someone to repair it as soon as possible I'm sorry for disturbing your work. I hope it won't affect your good impression of this town." After apologizing again and again, the two policemen exited the room and prepared to go find the reporter and explain. It¡¯s time.
After the police left, Long Fan asked the instructor, "If I hadn't put down the gun, would they really have fired just now?"
The instructor looked at Long Fan, "I'm sure I will."
Long Fan suddenly felt a little scared. If he accidentally pointed the gun at the opponent just now, he might be dead now. It seems that he will really obey the crew's arrangements when playing with guns in the future. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
