Chapter 755
On September 9th, when major companies were still considering next year's summer schedule, Tang An didn't care about these matters, and officially started filming "Operation Red Sea".

Another press conference was held at the port. Many reporters followed and invited naval officers and soldiers to participate.

The actors also changed into navy uniforms, and walked out of the queue, square formation and so on.

The filming officially started. The first scene was at sea, where the sniper Luo Xing was shot and sent back to the warship.

Let the landing craft and helicopter go through the script first, and the camera determines the next position.

After repeated adjustments, the first shot was officially shot.

Tang An stood up, looked at the prepared crowd, and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"The first day of filming started today, and everyone cheered up."

"No. 11 games, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

With one order, the crew started running in an orderly manner.

Tang An sat back in front of the monitor and looked at the two sets of shots on the screen, one was an aerial shot, and the other was a relatively close-up close-up.

Teammates were injured, and the whole team, including the always calm captain, was full of worry.

The landing craft drove to the maximum horsepower, and a long mark was drawn on the sea level, with water splashing on both sides.

Through the close-up shots, we can see the worried expressions on the faces of Zhang Yi, Du Jiang, Peng Yichang and others.

But within two seconds, Tang An yelled loudly to stop.

On the first day, when we just started shooting, we didn't reach our best condition.

"Zhang Yi, you guys lean forward a little bit later, and keep your eyes fixed on the front. You must show a feeling of anxiety and urgency. You must use force to hold the landing craft with your hands, and you must grasp it with force."

"Think about it now that it's not someone else who is injured, but your parents, wives and children. In addition, you all have camouflage oil on your face. Pay more attention to the drama in your eyes."

Tang An reminded them several times with the walkie-talkie, let them brew for 5 minutes, and then took the second shot.

The second pass was not bad, much better than before, and passed in front of the small monitor.

However, the big screen is much larger than this monitor. Even if four or five people are in the same frame, the facial expressions are still clearly visible, and every little flaw will be magnified, allowing the audience to see clearly.

After taking two consecutive shots, Tang An stared at the expressions and movements of each of them one by one before he was satisfied.

In the second scene, the helicopter brought the injured Luo Xing back. The helicopter flew according to the predetermined route.

It's all simple short shots, and everything is going well.

Then came the scene where Zhang Yi and others landed. Everyone had to move very quickly when disembarking the landing craft, but they couldn't be too unified. After all, everyone was very anxious at this time.

A shot of running in the water was shot six times, and the first three times the running action did not match the background, or it was not suitable after slow-motion.

After a few simple shots, I chose a few easier shots to finish shooting first, including the scenes of the captain and political commissar inside the warship.

The captain is played by Zhang Haifeng, the military advisor and former captain of the Jiaolong Brigade, and the political commissar is Wang Qiang, the chief producer sent by the maritime administration.

In the afternoon, Tang An and the actors waited for a "cannon battle" performance on the Kunmin.

In the cabin, Tang An looked expectantly at the sky through the glass.

Half an hour later, several drones for aerial photography in various aspects arrived at the predetermined position, and the warship's command cabin was also ready.

Helicopter takes off once is money, and drones can be used for aerial photography. After all, this movie requires a lot of money.

After each group was ready, Tang An yelled "Start" again into the intercom scene!
There is nothing to say about the execution ability of soldiers, which is much stronger than any crew in the world.

Almost instantly, a few shells on the opposite shore dragged a long flame, leaving a wisp of white smoke in the blue sky, roaring towards the Kunmin.

The warship could not sail to the Red Sea, so this shot had to be cut into two short shots, one was fired, and the other flew towards the warship in mid-air.

The speed of the shells gave people little time to react, and then, the secondary guns on the Kunmin turned around.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

All shells from all directions were shot down one by one by the Kunmin's secondary guns in less than a second.

Tang An stopped staring at the monitor at this moment, stood up and looked out, the shell that was hit exploded in mid-air, and the fragments quickly fell into the sea with flames.

It's like a grand firework show, although it's not night, it's still dazzling.

Even scenes bigger than this have been filmed in "Edge of Tomorrow", but seeing them here is still shocking.

However, live ammunition must not be used. Even if live ammunition is used in military exercises, it will be in a deserted place.

And now it's near the port, if something goes wrong and the shell hits the land and lands in the city, it's over.

Even if the coastal defense forces intercepted the shells, it would be a very serious matter.

However, empty shells can also present real smoke, fire, and explosion sounds, which can be completely fake on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, the 130mm main gun also fired, but we could only take shots of the cannon firing, and we had to go to Africa to shoot the shot.

"Okay, let's go!"

After the filming, Tang An did not forget to shout out, and also expressed his gratitude to the captain of the Kunmin.

Then he told several actors, "Okay, you guys will follow Captain Zhang to rehearse the tactics, positions, movements, and gestures of tomorrow's shot in the afternoon. Don't miss the schedule. We only have 20 days in Zhanjiang."

On the Zhanjiang side, there are mainly chases with pirates and some gunfights on the freighter.

Although it can be split into short shots, it should not be too much. Too many short shots will easily make the audience's eyes tired, and the whole is not coherent.

So they have to go through the plot several times from beginning to end, and "fight" this as a real battle.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to handle when shooting, and a three-to-four-second shot may consume a whole day.

The actors all went to practice, and Tang An was not idle, and brought the crew back to the shore to film the scene of evacuating overseas Chinese.

Hundreds of ensemble performers are already in place, including yellow, black, and white, and they are also dressed in various styles.

A huge warship was parked on the shore, surrounded by a navy that had pulled up a barrier, and heavily armed soldiers were guarding all around.

Hundreds of citizens from various countries waited anxiously on the shore, and naval soldiers were maintaining order and making them line up.

A naval officer came down from the warship and shouted at the anxious citizens of various countries with a loudspeaker.

"Compatriots of Huaguo, we are the navy of the People's Neighborhood Army of Huaguo. Zhongyang Junwei ordered us to protect you back home!"

The familiar uniform of the neighborhood army, the friendly Chinese characters and the five-star red flag on the warship, and the full-fledged voice made everyone feel at ease.

Surviving after the catastrophe, they couldn't help cheering loudly. Even citizens of other countries, at this time, there is no distinction of nationality or nationality. No matter which country the citizens are, they all cheered loudly.

After experiencing life and death many times, some people shed tears of excitement, which were all recorded by the camera one by one.

Then I took some close-up shots one after another.

A Marine comforts a crying little girl.

Soldiers helped the wounded compatriots onto the ship.

Feed the hungry masses with fresh meals and quick water.
Military and civilian families, these shots are specially requested by the maritime administration.
