85 Chapter 85: Its all learning (seeking recommended collection) (1/2)

On July 15, the weather was fine.

As the center of the Hollywood film industry, California almost always welcomes various film and television drama crews to shoot here, and now it has ushered in a new crew.

In the next half month, Lehman will be on the set up location, which has now become a camp for the army, and will start shooting ”Furious”.

There were dozens of tents on the muddy dirt roads, full of traces of wheels and slightly weeds, surrounded by fences and wire.

When it came to the scene inside, there were even more voices.

Hundreds of people are busy around, some are setting up cameras; some are setting up lights to confirm the brightness and color of the light; some are helping to unload props...

Five or six large trucks entered and exited, and there were more than 10 military vehicles and more than a dozen commercial vehicles parked on the open space next to the camp.

Standing in the shadow of an awning, Lehmann listened to the information reported by various departments while arranging filming affairs.

”Director, the tank is here, what do you think of the arrangement?” a crew member ran and said.

”I gonna go see.”

When he said this, the actors standing or sitting beside him were also very excited, including Heath Ledger, who all followed Lehman.

”Hi, Lieutenant Colonel, thank you very much.”

Against the sun, Lehman, who was standing at the entrance of the camp, pointed to the transportation vehicles, ”Can you bring all the tanks in?”

”Of course, just tell me where to put it.”

Lieutenant Colonel Logan, the liaison officer sent by the Pentagon to the crew responsible for all military technical support matters, nodded and said, ”How to arrange?”

”Four vehicles came in and put them on the open space at the southeast corner of the camp, and the remaining M4A3E8 model should be placed at the door.”

Because of funding issues, only 8 tanks could be driven. Five tanks belonged to the Allies and three Germans. The rest were either scraps that could not be opened and repaired, or they were props and models.

Of course, only five vehicles are needed for the current scene shooting, and the transporter has already been delivered.

Driven by the M4HST artillery tractor, it stops according to the position.

Suddenly, many of the crew of the crew put aside their work and came to watch the excitement.

This thing is majesty and a man's romance.

”Director.” A member of the props team holding a bottle of spray paint stood beside the tank parked at the entrance of the camp, and shouted to Lehmann not far away: ”I'm going to start spraying.”

”Oh.” Lehman walked over, patted his shoulder, pointed to the flat position of the inclined abdomen on the right side of the tank, and said with a smile: ”Fury these letters are sprayed on this one, remember to be more coherent and not to overlap. .”

The staff smiled and pressed the spray paint. In one go, a dark black English word ”Fury” appeared on the tank. He then said: ”Okay, wait for the spray paint to dry a little bit, paint it, and make it old. , The effect can be achieved by handling it.”

This M4A3E8 Sherman tank is naturally the one driven by the protagonist group, and ”fury” also corresponds to the title ”Fury”.

Similarly, the remaining 4 tanks have models M4A4, M4105HVSS, M4A1E4, and the M4 variant (thickened armor and equipped with artillery suspension system) that the platoon commander took.

In fact, these are the series of Sherman tanks, but at that time, new tanks were produced every year. Fortunately, the models of the five tanks were different.

As for weapons and equipment, let alone, they were all mainstream at the time.

M101 howitzer, submachine gun Thomson M1A1, M1 carbine, and M1 Garland, the most difficult rifle during World War II, M18 Hellcat armored vehicle, German MP44 assault rifle, M3 half-track trailer, M2 type 60 mortar, MG42 general machine gun , Colt M1917 revolver and various anti-tank rocket launchers.

For the authenticity of the shooting, the most precious and valuable Tiger tank was also invited out of the mountain.

From a historical perspective, there are only six tigers in the world, stored in six different museums in the United States, Britain, France, and Russia.

Lehman directly took the Tiger tank trophies seized during World War II and used the daily rental cost of up to 450,000 U.S. dollars to sell the only German Tiger tank that can operate (this number 131 belongs to the Tiger). The Type I tank, which has been repaired and maintained by the Barvington Tank Museum in the UK for so many years), was loaned out for field shooting.

Of course, this tank is not here yet. After all, the rental fee is so high that it will be released only when it is needed.

For this reason, the filming of related locations was moved to the UK specifically for the convenience of transportation.

This is really an old antique, compared to the amount of money, it is more expensive than Nicholas Cage's starring.

However, it's all worth it.
