Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 769 - Chaos
"Remember, wait until he pounces before rushing out of cover. Don't move at the same time, otherwise you won't be able to stand out."

Director Knight held down his wide-brimmed jungle hat with one hand and leaned over to shout at Chen Yu, who was half-kneeling behind the front wheel of the jeep.

Because there were three helicopters hovering low over the set, it was difficult for everyone to communicate with each other.

"I think we should let the demolition master lead them again."

Chen Yu poked his head out to look at the muddy jungle road ahead.

To be honest, he couldn't remember all twelve explosion locations, and the markers were not obvious enough.

"The explosive charge is enough to turn the stones into darts. If they hit the eyes, it will most likely cause blindness." Chen Yu had doubts about the blaster.

Because the extras were so into the show that they really treated this place as a Vietnam battlefield, they all rushed out in a swarm during the first few rehearsals, directly drowning the male lead Chen Yu in the team.

Director Knight and the tactical consultant were really at a loss for words.

Next time when we recruit extras, we must not only look for military fans!

This group of Australian military fans as well as Chinese and Korean student military fans are indeed very professional.

However, nearly 60 percent of their tactical actions did not match the time context.

At that time, the US military's training system for tropical jungles and rainforests was still in the process of being perfected.

When Chen Yu received professional guidance before officially joining the team, it was only to familiarize himself with firearms and learn basic tactical commands, gestures, and movements.

Plus understand and drive old standard armored transport vehicles, inland patrol boats and other vehicles.

Originally, Director Knight had arranged for Chen Yu to learn about the communications equipment used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. However, that crap was easy to operate but difficult to maintain.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military's standard individual (command) communications equipment, signal, electronic intelligence and other transceiver equipment were produced and assembled in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and West Germany respectively.

The U.S. military's front-line combat units like equipment assembled in South Korea because the details are excellent, especially the level of the stitching, which makes it more comfortable to carry and less likely to break.

Intelligence units prefer West German products because intelligence analysts who sit in offices do not have to go out on field missions, so they want more beautiful desk ornaments.

The crew of "The Mystery of the Sea" is currently using Japanese products.

Japanese OEM products are just like the Japanese people, they are stingy and will save as much as possible.

The crew of "The Mystery of the Sea" only used it as a prop, but four of them were scrapped in less than two weeks.

The props team of "The Mystery of the Sea" only complained that the Japanese products were so damn bad because they cut corners, but the military fans and extras were all heartbroken and secretly cursed the crew for being bastards and not knowing how to cherish them.

The Australian Army gave the crew all authentic retired items with the unit numbers printed on them!
To be more precise, these Japanese-made products have all experienced the brutal Vietnam War.

This resume is extremely attractive to military fans all over the world.

The military fans who are invited to perform as extras for the TV series "The Mystery of the Storm" usually don't ask for any remuneration, but just want to take a prop before leaving, such as clothes, water bottles, backpacks, helmets, etc.

The crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" is very generous and open.

Anyway, those things are the Australian Army's stockpile waiting to be destroyed.

The crew of "The Mystery of Storm Riders" was not only willing to give it to the military fans and extras, but also attached signatures of Chen Yu and others.

As a result, the military fans and extras tried every means to erase the signatures after getting them.

Chen Yu wiped the sweat from his temples and repeatedly emphasized that he must run according to the route after turning on the machine! This is not a water bomb training ground, the explosive equivalent is already very close to the limit value.

The relevant departments in Australia and New Zealand are much more relaxed than those in the United States in restricting the amount of explosives used in film and television productions.

Therefore, in the past decade, many Hollywood blockbusters have set up studios in the two countries.

The tactical consultant of the crew of "The Mystery of Troubled Times" was really afraid that these military fans would rush out again once the filming started.

Or maybe you have some idea of ​​a roundabout way of attacking the enemy.

Director Knight asked through the intercom if everyone was ready. The tactical consultant and Chen Yu looked at each other with a hint of hesitation before answering. They could only hope that the military fans would be more restrained.

"Bang! Bang!" After two consecutive explosions, Chen Yu was about to stand up and rush out of the shelter when he was knocked down by the extras behind him.

"Stop, stop." Director Knight shouted loudly, but the military fans had already regarded themselves as soldiers and rushed forward towards the target point without listening to the director's command at all.

Chen Yu simply retreated behind the front wheels of the jeep to avoid being mercilessly trampled.

The tactical advisor who played the platoon leader soon squeezed to Chen Yu's left side, and the two of them huddled together, covering their helmets with their hands.

Now all they could do was wait for the passion of the military fans to fade away. Chen Yu turned slightly to signal the blasting team not to press the switch.

Chen Yu was not afraid of hurting anyone, he just didn't want to remember the explosion point again.

Twenty-five minutes later, the military fans returned victorious after breaking through the North Vietnamese guerrillas' defensive positions and forcing them to retreat.

Tactical advisor Chen Yu leaned against the broken jeep and applauded them.

The military fans who were in the extras realized belatedly that they were on a film set.

Director Knight did not blame the military fans who had just gotten carried away, but simply asked them to obey orders next time.

Chen Yu dusted himself off and asked everyone to return to their respective posts.

"I emphasize again that you must follow the route. A lot of ruthless people just stepped directly on the explosion point."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he stepped back a little to let the tactical advisor talk to everyone.

After all, the tactical advisor plays the role of a platoon leader.

After the second start, the military fans in the extras were very restrained and did not rush out, but the more than 60 people looked at Chen Yu and the tactical consultant, making them look confused.

Director Knight and other staff members burst into laughter.

But a minute later, no one looked happy.

Because the blasting team pressed the switch, a large amount of dust, branches, leaves, mud and water instantly rose on both sides of the rainforest dirt road.

This is a situation caused by the blasting team's mistakes.

Chen Yu pursed her lips and glanced at the splashing mud rain, then turned to look at Director Knight, who was filming with his mobile phone. Perhaps this is the romance that belongs only to artists.

Director Knight decided to come back at the same time tomorrow morning to finish this set of shots.

Now that he was finishing work, the mud rain just now seemed to have given him some inspiration.

Director Knight wanted to change the protagonist's experiences during his military service. When he first arrived in Vietnam, he resisted and was disgusted by the atrocities, then he watched the atrocities and finally took the initiative to participate in the atrocities.

It wasn't just because of seeing the mutilated bodies of his comrades.

Director Knight feels that his change of mind should be attributed to the fact that human nature is evil, and that the U.S. government and the U.S. military allowed or even secretly encouraged the soldiers to unleash the monsters in their hearts.

The monster can devour North Vietnamese guerrillas, regular troops, and ordinary people, and can also eat the hosts it parasitizes on.

Director Knight believes that this expression is more literary.

But it also requires a high level of performance skills from Chen Yu.

So Director Knight immediately sent a message to Chen Yu, asking him to use his break time to rewatch "Apocalypse Now".

It would be best to try to understand Walter Coates's psychology.

Chen Yu, who originally planned to watch a rugby game, had to return to the hotel. He reviewed "Apocalypse Now" as required in the morning and went to the airport to pick up Emma Roberts in the afternoon.

This young lady had just said goodbye to Norse mythology and plunged headfirst into the Vietnam War.
