Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian boarded a helicopter with several photographers of the film crew and a huge IMAX camera. ← Vertex Fiction, that’s right, helicopters, although it seems that helicopters fly very slowly—at least slower than jets, but who said those two planes are jets?One of the two planes is a Gulfstream twin-propeller business jet, while the large plane is a civilian version of the L-130 transport plane leased from the US military's C100 transport plane.This transport plane is also powered by propellers. After all, it was a transport plane that was developed in 51. Back then, the transport planes were not designed with jet engines, so in fact, these two planes were also propeller-powered. The theoretical maximum speed is actually That is, more than 600 kilometers per hour is not bad.As for helicopters, they can almost reach a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, so it is still very good for the two parties to cooperate with each other.

Why use a helicopter?Mainly because the helicopter can hover!Because it can hover and maneuver in various ways, there are more positions for the camera. You can fly with the plane first, stop and "watch" the plane fly away during the flight. Doesn't this provide more opportunities? Did the camera move?And if you use a business jet, your movement will definitely be restricted!After Jia Hongjian and his helicopters reached the position, they hovered and waited for the two planes to arrive.After waiting for these two planes to fly over from a distance, you can see how difficult it is for the planes that cannot hover. First of all, the requirement for shooting is to require the large transport plane to fly above the head of the small plane. .And in such a "body position", because of the turbulent flow caused by the propeller of the big plane and the airframe, the small plane will start to bump, and it is not easy for this small plane to guarantee a smooth flight!At the same time, it is difficult for a large aircraft to maintain a suitable distance and height from a small aircraft!

And in the process of flying like this, the speed of the two planes must be made more appropriate.It must be in a more suitable position in the lens, so the requirements for cooperation are really high!Seriously, military pilots can do this, because Air Force fighter pilots and tanker pilots need to refuel in the air, and aerial refueling is the same as the "position" we shot here, but civil aircraft pilots need to refuel in the air. It's different!It took a long time for the two planes to find a suitable position.In the end, Jia Hongjian and the others had no choice but to stop the plane, and then urgently asked someone who had been an Air Force pilot to help fly the plane.Finally, after a week, I found them with great difficulty, so I hurriedly sent these people to the plane to shoot such a scene again.

I have to say that the pilots of the U.S. Air Force are different. After the people on the two sides boarded the planes, they didn't communicate much at first, and they even didn't know each other before. Asked for it!Then when the big plane keeps its position.Opening the rear hatch, six ropes were released, and six people slid down along the ropes.To be honest, such a move is really more dangerous than refueling in the air!Although it is said that the U.S. military’s aerial refueling is a hard refueling tube protruding from the bottom of the aircraft and inserted into the back of the small aircraft below, but the aerial refueling of other countries is a hose, and no matter what the refueling method is , at least there is no need to open the warehouse door in the air?The barn door opened in the air.It must affect the aerodynamics of the aircraft to a certain extent, and it must make the aircraft more difficult to control!

And in such a situation.The six old men still have to slide down the rope to the plane below without any support... This is in the air, and the wind around them is blowing at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour!At this time, let alone descending, it is easy to fail to land on the small plane. Just the matter of descending may cause everyone's ropes to get entangled, and the shot will not be beautiful, and the stuntman will be in danger!Fortunately, the ropes were not entangled, but watched six stuntmen follow the ropes to the small plane.That's really worrying.After all, the small plane is really too small. The wingspan of the whole plane is 30 meters, which seems very big, but the problem is that the wings of the small plane are very narrow!Then except for the wings, the rest of the body is in a mess.It seems that the total width of the fuselage is less than 3 meters!That’s just the width of a room in an ordinary family, and a large plane is a hundred meters above a small plane. Under such circumstances, during the flight of the plane, braving the strong wind to carry out the rope drop, who can guarantee that they will be able to Can it land on such a room-wide plane?

And you must know that there are not many flat places on the surface of the aircraft below to step on!Although the aircraft shell is 3 meters wide, most of them are curved!This person can't stand up!One can imagine how difficult this is!When Jia Hongjian watched the stunt performers do this, he was really sweating!As a result, when the stuntmen descended, luckily nothing happened!Although everyone made a lot of effort, they all landed on the plane safely in the end. When they got here, such a scene was basically over.If you shoot later, you have to let the big plane drag the small plane out to shoot.When the time comes to edit the two shots into before and after, plus the shot of the stuntman fixing the small plane with ropes in the studio, this will give the audience the feeling that the stuntman is lowered from the big plane and fixed with ropes The small plane was launched, and then the big plane directly turned the small plane upside down!

To take pictures of this kind of small plane with its head down, the real picture is that the small plane is on the ground and the front and rear of the fuselage are fixed to the big plane by ropes, but the ropes at the tail of the fuselage are intentionally attached to the big plane when it takes off. Make it longer and looser, so that when dragging, it can ensure that the whole aircraft is pulled forward. This small aircraft is like a target drone being towed, and then flies When it reaches the designated airspace, the big plane will tighten the rope at the tail of the small plane, so that the small plane will be in such a state of head down and tail up.But just achieving such a state is not enough, because if it is only in such a state, the wings of the plane will not break!That's right, because of the low speed, in fact, the scene in the third part of "Batman" in history where the plane was dragged and its wings broke was almost impossible!what is it now?Jia Hongjian also knew that the shot was very powerful, and Nolan also wrote in his notes that he would finish such a shot!

What else can I do, fake it!Movies have been an art of deception from the very beginning, it is to make fakes so that people think it is real!It's like all kinds of car bomb explosions in Hollywood, which exploded into a huge fireball. In fact, a real car bomb explosion is not a ball of fire at all!There are fireballs, but they are so short that ordinary people can't see them at all. What ordinary people can see is a spherical gray smoke that explodes after a bang!Then there is the sky full of auto parts!It is simply impossible for a car to retain a basic frame and catch fire after it explodes!Unless the bomb is not filled with explosives but gasoline!That's right, in fact, all kinds of car explosions in Hollywood are the effect of gasoline explosions, all kinds of flames are beautiful, and all kinds of spherical flames!After the car exploded, the tires flew off, and then the frame was burning with the bottom up... These things are all fake. In fact, after such a burning car is extinguished, as long as you don’t mind the burnt smell inside , then just fill up the gasoline and drive away on the spot!In fact, only the various interiors were burnt!If the fire is extinguished in time, even the steering wheel will not melt!

Also, when the rpg rockets fired by the rpg gangsters shot by Hollywood hit the car, they were all kinds of huge fireballs, but in fact they were all fake!The real rpg rocket hit the car, that is, there was a small cloud of dust on the side of the hit point, and then a jet of molten metal appeared on the back of the car-yes, the rocket was the result of hitting the tank For armor-like targets, the armor of the car is directly pierced by the metal jet, okay?How could it explode?Even if the engine is turned on, the car just jolts and then stops, that's all!It's impossible to talk about a huge explosion or something!That's purely for visual effects!

It’s like some kind of fighting movie, all kinds of people fell on the coffee table and the dining table, and then the coffee table was broken, and the wooden dining table was also broken, this is all nonsense!The coffee table and the dining table were sawn in advance and were almost broken, and then they could only be broken if people fell on them!Otherwise, wouldn't the actor believe nothing if he fell on the coffee table and the table?But that's too real, so it's not shocking, and there is no visual effect, so the movie is fake!Similarly, the scene in Jia Hongjian's film where the airplane wings are torn off by "wind force" is also a fake.The way to cheat is to break off the wings of the plane in advance, and then install a circle of explosive bolts to connect with the fuselage, and then when the scene is about to come, when the plane is pulled from the head to the tail, remote control The exploding bolt explodes, and the plane's wings just fall off!

At this time, the explosive bolts are used because the magnitude of the explosion is too small, so there is basically no flame-this kind of explosive bolts is equipped with a little explosive inside the ordinary bolts, and then the bolts are deliberately left with stress grooves, so As long as the explosive explodes, the bolt can break according to the reserved stress groove, and the broken mouth is still very smooth, just like the one cut out!In this way, the shooting effect at a slightly further distance is quite good!After listening to a few bang bang bang bang bangs, the two wings fell off the plane with some fragments. As long as the sound is eliminated in the later stage and replaced with a theoretical sound of metal tearing, the audience will never hear it What's the problem! (To be continued..)
