When it got dark that day, everyone returned to Changhai County. Chen Qi and Tsui Hark were extremely excited. There are some things that are unique to men's spiritual temples: such as driving a good car, picking up a straight and slender stick, hitting it 50 times with a water float, and it turned out that Ultraman really exists, a Hunan accent calls you a little gay... Tinkering with arms also falls into this category. They tried it several times during the day, adjusting it little by little, and the effect got better every time. Everyone was united and tense, serious and lively, saying incomprehensible words such as "Brothers, go to the little devil's side", "Little boy", "Miss Qiu", etc. The air inside and outside the island was filled with joy. "I'm starving! Is there anything to eat?" As soon as Chen Qi returned to the guest house, he called for people everywhere. Gu Weili ran out and said, "Yes! I've prepared it for you." After that, the food was brought out. First there was a large pot of stewed fish, then two plates of pickles, a pot-sticker pancake, and a bottle of white wine. Just smelling it will whet your appetite. “Come and try Northeastern’s sticky pancakes!” Chen Qi picked one up for him.
The yellow cornmeal pancake was thick and chewy after one bite. Tsui Hark tasted it and said, "Making a movie is a good thing. You can travel all over the country and see the world. This pancake goes well with the Northeast." "Actually, Dalian is not very compatible with Northeast China. If you have a chance, go there and have a look at Jilin and Heilongjiang." "I will definitely go, I also want to see Changbai Mountain and Daxinganling!" Tsui Hark nodded and asked, "It's not easy for you to come back. Why don't you go home and take a look?" "Time is too tight, I won't go back. There is nothing going on in the capital." "Don't you want Ashue and the child?" "I think so! But since I have pledged my life to the country, I usually go back before the Spring Festival. Our house is deserted all year round, so we only get lively during the Spring Festival. We can make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala, eh?" When it comes to the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Qi is happy: "Calculating the time, CCTV should prepare for it. I don't know how they will do it this year." The two of them ate and drank, with Gu Weili as company. The old guest house on the island had a different atmosphere. After dinner, I got some hot water to wash myself down. Tsui Hark, like Chen Qi, took an enamel washbasin from Double Happiness and put a towel on his shoulders to soak his feet. He and Shi Nansheng were the first to vote, and the ones who were assimilated the most were probably included in the party application. No nightlife. At around 9 o'clock, Chen Qi was already lying on the bed. He was very uncomfortable and felt damp even after changing the bedding. It was pitch black outside, with only the light on at the door of the guest house. When night fell on the island, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet. According to the plan, they will stay in Dalian for about half a month. The time allotted to Changhai County was one week, and it was getting colder in November, so he wanted to finish filming as soon as possible. … Asking the army for help doesn't mean it's free. At least the explosives, oil, and labor costs used in the filming must be paid. Fortunately, "Black Man" did not borrow too much military equipment, nor did it engage in human sea tactics, otherwise the cost would not be low. He and Tsui Hark designed many wonderful scenes, but they cannot be crammed into one movie, as that would be putting the cart before the horse. For example, although the scene of the paratroopers could be completed, he decided to put it in the sequel.
After running in this way for a few days, we became more and more skilled in cooperating. "Hey - can you hear me?" "Hello--" A Z-9 carrier-based helicopter was parked above the island. Chen Qi was wearing a seat belt and leaned out half of his body to wave downwards. He could vaguely see everyone looking confused. Tsui Hark also raised a middle finger and couldn't help laughing. . "Comrade Chen Qi, do you want to fly around again?" "It's okay, it's okay, just have fun, get down!" "good!" The pilot responded, controlled the helicopter, and landed slowly on the apron of a scientific research ship near the island. To be honest, Chen Qi did not expect that the support from the troops would be so strong, even helicopters would be deployed. This Z-9 carrier-based helicopter was produced by Hafei with the introduction of French patents. The landing test was completed in 1980, but this ship refers to a scientific research ship. The successful landing on a combat ship was only achieved in 1987. This helicopter has many uses, including transportation, patrol, rescue, fish observation, forest protection and fire prevention, and of course aerial photography. The person responsible for the aerial photography was an experienced photographer hired from the Bayi Factory to only shoot one scene. Li Lianjie was actually filming today and was under great pressure. He has done boxing and kicking before, but has never done anything like this. The staff put him in an asbestos suit to prevent accidents, and then put on a black man's costume outside. He felt very tight and muttered: "Isn't it true that an explosion with such a wide range wouldn't hit me?" The pyrotechnics technician from the Bayi Factory glanced at him and said nothing. Seeing that he kept asking questions, he said: "Little comrade, do you know me?" "Uh, I don't know you!" "It doesn't matter if you don't know me. The Golden Rooster Award for Best Fireworks Award for "Wind and Rain Under Zhongshan" was arranged by me!" The old master pointed at himself and said: "I have arranged more explosive sites than you have eaten. Besides, there are comrades in the army who help. Our two families will serve your family. What are you afraid of?" "As long as you run as we tell you, you'll be fine!" the comrades in the army laughed. "Then I'll leave it to you!" Li Lianjie said sarcastically. On the other side, Tsui Hark also asked the photographer: "If we can't shoot it in one take, we will have to re-set the scene, which will consume too much time and energy, and the whole plan will be disrupted." "I understand, I understand, I promise to complete the task!" "Everyone in your place!" Three cameras on the ground and one camera in the air capture this shot from all angles. The twelve buildings had to explode in succession, and the intervals could not be too long or too short, just to present the effect of "flowers blooming one by one" or "mushrooms rising one by one". It was a challenge for everyone.
Li Lianjie stood in position, repeatedly thinking about the route and explosion point he would run in a while, he had to run away from the explosion. "Ready! Ready!" "Buzz buzz buzz!" The helicopter took off again. Tsui Hark also became nervous. He was the first director in Hong Kong to fight such a battle, and shouted: "Countdown! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...action!" "Boom!" With a loud bang, the first building exploded. The ingenious combination of gunpowder, gasoline and building structure made it emit a ball of fire first, and then rose into a huge fireball in an instant. Li Lianjie started running immediately, and heard "boom" and "boom" again! The second building, the third building... all exploded at the right time. The helicopter hovered in the sky, and the photographer's hands were as steady as an old dog, shooting this scene that is rarely seen in modern action movies around the world. Clusters of red flames shot up into the sky, and the ground was covered with red, just like a dozen red flowers blooming in the sea. The three cameras below captured the scene from different angles, and one of them even followed Li Lianjie. This is a completely different style and level of desperation from Cheng Long's action movies. The process from beginning to end took less than half a minute, but every second was meticulously taken. When the explosion stopped, the scene was filled with smoke and the photographer on the helicopter landed. Chen Qi and Tsui Hark couldn't wait to review the effect. His expression was happy and he felt relaxed and happy. "It's really art!" (No more, I'll make it up tomorrow! Thanks to the leader of Tianji Weiwei Miao)
