Rebirth in a Perfect Era

? Nearly twenty-seater Toyota Coaster, carrying several old Flying Tiger members and their relatives, headed to the shooting base of Flying Tigers, which is the airstrip where the crew restored.

When the old people came to the red land with the car, Li Mu could see that each of them showed different excitement and excitement.

Although the airport used for filming was not rebuilt in the same place as that year, because the airstrip was also on such a red land in the past, it seemed to the old people that it was almost the same as that year.

What excites them most is actually the dozen or so P-40C aircraft parked at the airport. It is said that half of them are real machines and half are replicas of props.

Li Mu couldn't tell which of these planes were real and which were props, but these old people had unique eyes. They almost swarmed into several of them and went up to touch, turn around, and cry. But there were so few planes that looked the same.

Ning Hao admired in front of Li Mu: "The eyes of these old men are so good. I have been here for so long. I can't tell which is true or not. They can tell at a glance."

Li Mu smiled and asked, "You don't know which is true and which is false. How do you know that the old men are right?"

Ning Hao laughed: "I can't tell the difference, but remembering the body number, the singular numbers are real machines, and the even numbers are props."

"Okay." Li Mu nodded and walked to the elderly Sun Xiaozhong. At this moment, he was touching the P-40C propeller in front of him with his trembling hands, and turned the propeller slightly, with a look of excitement and excitement.

Li Mu asked him, "Mr. Sun, would you like to take a photo with this plane? I asked the photographer to take some pictures for you?"

The elderly Mr. Sun Xiaozhong was excited when he heard this, then looked at himself, and found that he was wearing the most ordinary white short-sleeved undershirt today, and said a little crazily, "I do n’t think it would be appropriate to take a picture with it like this. Well, I'll be more formal by then ... "

The elderly Han Zili nodded again and again in a joking tone, saying, "Photos with these old guys, how can you wear them so casually, anyway, you have to wear a full-length suit?"

Han Zili ’s son could n’t help but say, “Dad, just put on your former pilot ’s costume and take a photo with it. That ’s so memorable.”

The old man Han Zili said with a smile: "What you said is simple. The Flying Tigers issued my uniform. I wore it until the end of the Anti-Japanese War and changed the uniform of the national army. That suit was kept forever, but when I went to Taiwan in 1949, Was detained because the plane was overweight. "

Li Mu patted his mind and said, "Our crew has a replica of the Flying Tigers uniform. Let the crew of the crew take you to try it on. There are always hundreds of uniforms that are suitable for you."

"Really ?!" The two old men, as well as the two other Chinese veterans of the Flying Tigers, looked at Li Mu in surprise.

Li Mu nodded immediately and said, "I borrowed a military uniform and took a picture yesterday. I told the director and let him arrange it."

Speaking, Li Mu greeted Spielberg and told him his thoughts in English, saying, "Stephen, I will let the staff take a few old gentlemen to put on a suitable uniform and let the photographer come over to them Taking some pictures means a lot to them. "

Spielberg nodded without hesitation. "Then I'll arrange it, our aerobatic pilots are still there. Would you like to let them out to fly the plane to a few old gentlemen?"

Li Mu asked in surprise: "Can fly at any time? Don't you apply to the military area?"

In Li Mu's impression, Huaxia's airspace is managed by the Air Force, and the flight routes of civil aviation also require the approval of the Air Force, and the crew's planes have to be approved by the Air Force.

Spielberg said: "Often speaking, you have to apply a few days in advance of each flight, but our local military district in this movie has given great support. Knowing that we are going to shoot aerial footage, it gave us a privilege. Before the plane takes off, it will report directly to the military region. As long as the military region nods, it can fly immediately. "

Li Mu asked: "How long does it take for military district approval?"

Spielberg said, "In a minute or two, we are directly contacting 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, we have not received other general aviation companies. Request for a flight, we will immediately give us permission. "

Then, Spielberg said, "Our P-40C and our photography helicopter can basically take off at any time."

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let the pilots of the flying team prepare for it. When the old gentlemen change their military uniforms, they will take off to pay tribute to them."

For the large and medium-sized film and television companies in Hollywood, they have very high requirements for film quality. In the process of filming, special effects must be used only in scenes with computer special effects. Other lenses are shot with real-life shooting as much as possible. Because only the real scene is the most perfect. Take, for example, Tom Cruise's "TopGun". It has become a classic of air combat movies in the eyes of many audiences, largely due to the large number of real fighter shots in the show. All computer effects are used, and that scene will definitely be greatly discounted.

Therefore, in "Flying Tigers", many of the shots on air combat are real shots. The ordinary aerial shots are completed by helicopters, and the special shots of chasing and tumbling in the air combat are performed by an aerobatic aircraft. The real scene of the Tigers fighting against the enemy in the air.

To this end, the crew specially invited an aerobatic flight performance team from the United States to take charge of shooting aerial footage.

Li Mu suddenly remembered many war movies and TV series in the later generations of China. In his impression, all the domestic war movies and TV series he had seen were affected by the effects of the plane, and even used the war TV series NO in his mind. The plane shots in "My Head and My Head" in 1 are all clumsy five-mao special effects, which is extremely ugly.

Originally, the Expeditionary Force was going to Myanmar by plane, which was a very tragic thing. But on the screen, an airplane was on a raging dirt ground, and it felt extremely stingy, and the plane was on the ground. The camera can be seen at a glance that the production of the props is too careless, and the special effects lens after the plane is awful is a mess, and the three-year-old child can see that the plane is fake.

Admittedly, this has something to do with the budget of film and television dramas, but why can't the budget lean towards quality? As for the subsequent TV series, the cost of 200 million and 180 million is the actor's pay. As for how to shoot, it doesn't matter. The penny special effects can be dealt with randomly, so there are many cut-out TV shows.

Li Mu feels that he may not be able to influence the development direction of Huaxia film and television dramas in the future, and may not raise the industry's overall requirements for film quality, but at least he can set an example and first make a few high-quality movies for the Huaxia film industry. Make a sample.

In a whim, several elderly men changed their fitted flying tiger uniforms one after another and came out of a large green tent. Although they were all old, they all changed into pilot uniforms and put on pilot sunglasses. That feels really imposing.

These old flying tiger players have Huaxia faces and American faces. They are the same as the old photos of the Flying Tigers. However, the young people who were bright and beautiful now have become old and elderly. However, Except for their bodies, everything still looks the same.

The uniform is still the same as the year, the airport is still the same as the airport, and the aircraft is still the same as the aircraft.

At this time, the aerobatic pilots had drilled into six P-40Cs, the aircraft was launched, and they lined up to the end of the runway.

The old people didn't expect that these planes had already started just after changing clothes, and they were surprised to ask why.

Li Mu said to everyone: "The members of the aerobatic team will take these planes to the sky, pay tribute to you, and allow you to see the plane soaring into the blue sky again."

The old people nodded excitedly, staring closely at the plane, unable to blink.

The military region has given the flight team permission to fly. The radius of 20 kilometers and the ceiling of 5,000 meters are fully open. So the six P-40C fighters accelerated, lifted, and launched one by one, completing the formation in the air. , Began the performance flight.

While the old people applauded, they watched the plane flying fancy over the airport in high spirits. After several low-altitude plane passes, Li Mu carefully found that every old man had a smile on his face, but there were also tears.

The elderly Sun Xiaozhong said: "Watching these planes shuttle back and forth overhead ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ All the thoughts in my mind were that I was flying the same fighter aircraft in the sky and fighting with the enemy in the sky. This feeling is like a lifetime , As if in sight. "

Six planes flew in the air for half an hour, performed many thrilling flight postures, and then landed on the runway. After the six planes were parked side by side, Li Mu said to several elderly people: "We can go now Take a picture. "

Several old people nodded and came to stand in front of a P-40C aircraft. The old people of the two countries supported each other. As in the past, they took pictures in front of the plane to take a picture. "When I used to take pictures, I always liked to climb the wings and the fuselage. Now I can't climb anymore."

The elderly Sun Xiaozhong patted his back and laughed: "John, that time has passed. Before, we were still sitting in the cabin and drove these guys into the sky. Now, there is no more opportunity for this. It is not us anymore. Time. "

The American Flying Tigers named John nodded slightly and said, "I can meet them again, touch them, listen to their engines, and watch them fly in the sky. I'm satisfied ..."
