Chapter 1630 (2/2)
”In a minute or two, we are directly in touch with the air force's air traffic control. Our area is not on the civil aviation route, so as long as the military determines that it has no activity in our area and has not received the flight request from other airlines, it will immediately give us permission,” Spielberg said
With that, Spielberg added: ”our p-40c, and our camera helicopter, can basically take off at any time.”
Li Mu nodded contentedly and said, ”let the pilots of the flight team prepare for it. When the old gentlemen change their uniforms, they will take off to salute them.”
For Hollywood's medium and large-scale film and television companies, they have a very high demand for film quality. In the process of filming, only the scenes that must use computer special effects can use special effects. Other shots are shot in real scenes as much as possible, because only the real scenes are the most perfect. Take Tom Cruise's ”top gun” for example, the reason why it has become a lot of audiences In the eyes of the classic air combat film, it is largely due to a large number of real fighter lens in the play. If all the computer special effects are used, the scene will definitely be discounted.Therefore, in ”Flying Tigers”, many of the shots about air combat are taken in real time. The ordinary aerial shot is completed by helicopter. The special shot of chasing and rolling in air combat is in the charge of a stunt plane, which is intended to reproduce the real scene when flying tigers fight with enemies in the air.
For this reason, the crew specially invited a stunt flight performance team from the United States to take aerial shots.
Li Mu suddenly thought of many war films and TV plays of later generations in China. In his impression, all the domestic war films and TV plays he had seen used the special effect of ”Wumao” when they were related to the camera lens of the airplane. Even in his mind, the camera lens about the airplane in the war TV series No.1 ”my leader and my regiment” was all poor special effect of ”Wumao”, which was extremely bad for the scenery.
Originally, the expeditionary army had to fly to Myanmar, which was a tragic thing. But on the screen, a plane was on a piece of ragged ground, which made it feel extremely stingy. Moreover, the lens of the plane on the ground can be seen at a glance that the props were made too unwittingly, and the special effect lens after the plane lifted off was even worse Confused, the three-year-old can see that the plane is fake.
It's true that this has something to do with the budget of film and TV series, but why can't the budget lean to the quality? So that in the future, the cost of 200 million yuan, 180 million yuan is the actor's remuneration. As for how to shoot, it doesn't matter. The special effect of five cents can be dealt with casually, so there are a lot of stingy movies and TV plays.
Li Mu thinks that he may not be able to influence the development direction of Chinese film and television plays in the future, or improve the overall requirements of the industry for film quality, but at least he can set an example by first shooting several high-quality films to give a sample to the Chinese film industry.
In the time of wild thinking, several old men changed their suits one by one and came out of a big green tent. Although they were too old, they put on their uniforms and sunglasses. It was very impressive.
Among these old flying tigers, there are Chinese faces and American faces. Just like the old photos of Flying Tigers, the young people who were brave and brave in those days have now become old and old people. However, apart from their bodies, everything is no different.
The uniform is the same as the uniform of that year, the airport is the same as the airport of that year, and the aircraft is also the same as the aircraft of that year.
By this time, the stunt pilots had got into six p-40cs, and the plane started, queuing up to the end of the runway.
The old people didn't expect that just after changing their clothes, the planes had started. They were surprised to ask why.
Li Mu said to the crowd, ”the members of the stunt flight team should lift these planes to the sky, salute you, and let you see the scene of this plane flying in the blue sky again.”
The old men nodded excitedly, their eyes fixed on the plane, and they were reluctant to blink.
The military region has given the permission for the flight of the flying team, which has a radius of 20 kilometers and a ceiling of 5000 meters. As a result, the six p-40c fighters, one by one, accelerate, lift the wheels and lift off in succession, complete the formation in the air and start the performance flight.
The old people applauded and watched the plane's changing flight over the airport in high spirits. After several low-altitude flights, Li Mu carefully found that every old man had a smile on his face, but also tears.
Sun Xiaozhong said: ”looking at these airplanes flying back and forth over the head, all I think of are the scenes when I was driving the same type of fighter in the sky and fighting with the enemy. This kind of feeling is like another world, and it seems to be in front of me.”
Six planes flew in the air for half an hour, performing a lot of thrilling and exciting flight postures, and then landed on the runway one after another. After the six planes stopped side by side, Li Mu said to several old people, ”let's go and take photos now.”
Several old people nodded and came to a p-40c plane to stand. The old people of the two countries helped each other. As they did in those days, they took photos in front of the plane for souvenirs. An old American Flying Tiger member wiped his tears and sighed: ”when we took photos, I always liked to climb the wings and the fuselage. Now I can't climb any more.”
Sun Xiaozhong patted him on the back and said with a smile, ”John, that time has passed. We used to sit in the cabin and drive these guys to the sky by ourselves. Now, there is no such opportunity. It's not our time now.”
The old American Flying Tiger named John nodded softly and said, ”I'm satisfied to see them again, touch them, listen to their engines and watch them fly in the sky...”
