Chapter 1,423 The Responsibility of the Stunt Team Captain

【The apricot curtain separates melancholy,

There is nothing left behind the curtain.

I don’t see you every year,

Yunzhong Jinshu is busy. --The apricot curtain is in sight]

Although Bizarro did not say that he gave up absolutely in the end, he did not agree directly at this time. That is to say, this is a market situation that cannot be decided by him as a captain, so he needs to discuss this matter with his team members. There is a certain feasibility.

In fact, this is just a shirk. If Bizarro decisively agrees to such a matter, then Rob Cohen will definitely support him. This time, Bizarro Racing will definitely become the main team. , but now looking at such a situation, Rob Cohen was a little unhappy. He called Morgan over and said: "Morgan, take a look for yourself. This is the top Italian stunt team you found for me. It is world-class." Is it your level? To have such courage and want to do stunts is just a joke. I think such a thing is not embarrassing enough. "

Obviously, this also expresses the director's strong dissatisfaction with the Bizarro team. This is tantamount to saying that the chain was dropped at a critical moment. Whoever it was, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, so in this situation On one issue, Rob Cohen must have come to Morgan to scold him. I asked you to take the crew's money and find a stunt team, but you found me a guy like this. The key is to let me off the hook in front of this guy Ye Ming. This makes me very unhappy. .

Anyway, this is what Rob Cohen expressed in his tone at this time. Morgan actually didn't expect that Bizarro was bragging in front of him. He wanted to say that their team was the top stunt team in the world. He had also seen the medical performance of Bizarro team, which was indeed quite exciting. Therefore, , will support Bizarro Racing in front of the director.

In fact, Morgan was also very unjust. How could he have thought that Bizarro Racing actually said that he would lose his car at a critical moment? This shot of leaping from the car park to the road is the most thrilling shot in the whole movie, and the risk factor is the highest. But if this car stunt is not dangerous, then what kind of car stunt is it called at this time? Ah, this thing is driving on the road, why would I pay your stunt team to do it?

Therefore, Morgan said helplessly on such a matter: "I'm sorry, director, I didn't think well. I didn't expect that the Bizarro Racing Team would give in at the critical moment. If I had known that this would happen." , I will never sign them, otherwise, we might as well get rid of them. After all, they are saying that they violated the contract and shied away from the first stunt scene. According to the contract, they still have to pay us liquidated damages?"

Rob Cohen snorted and said disdainfully: "Liquidated damages, do you think our crew is short of money now? As long as it is needed for filming, I still don't care about this little money. The key is that at this time, Bizza Luo didn't give face, this was in front of Ye Ming, and the convoy in the port city recommended by Ye Ming.

If neither team can complete this shot, it's okay to say that after all, everyone can't play it. The eldest brother, let alone the second brother, should not laugh at anyone. But now the Bizarro Racing Team has almost said that it will give up this lens. And what is the name of the team in the port city that Ye Ming recommended? "

When Chinese people hear Western names, they find it difficult to remember them. However, Westerners actually say that when they hear our Chinese names, it is not so easy to remember them either. Morgan immediately looked at his notebook, and then said: "It's called the Ke Shouliang team, and the captain is named Ke Shouliang. This is the same naming method as David Bizarro's team. Stunt teams are basically not named after cars. , it is named after the captain, the soul of the team. Generally speaking, the captain's skills are considered to be the best in the team, otherwise it would be impossible to lead the team." Rob Cohen nodded. Said: "Ke Shouliang Racing Team, well, if Ke Shouliang Racing Team really accepts this challenge, even if it doesn't complete it, then we will be very embarrassed.

If it is said to be completed, then in a situation like this, there is no need to say that it is embarrassing at all, but that there is no one left. "

This may be a bit exaggerated, but in fact, this is almost what Rob Cohen thought. Although the actual situation is different from what Rob Cohen said, it is almost the same.

At this moment, Bizarro actually looked at Ke Shouliang's team with a provocative look. In fact, it's not that their team can't complete this shot, but the safety factor of this shot is simply too poor. Therefore, in this situation, In one case, the risk that the stunt team needs to take is very large.

This matter definitely means that it cannot be fooled by just giving more money. Moreover, the crew will not pay more. The crew and the team have signed a contract. If the director takes the initiative to give a red envelope to a problem like this, then this is the director's intention and is not a breach of contract. But if the stunt team takes the initiative to ask for more money before filming this dangerous scene Action, on such an issue, the Fast and Furious crew will definitely be sued to bankruptcy. Precisely because they did not have the guts to complete this shot, therefore, regarding such a problem, the Bizarro Racing Team did not want the Hong Kong City team to complete this shot. At this moment, the model also saw Bizarro's thoughts. He glanced at Ke Shouliang and said, "Boss, do you think those Chinese colleagues have the courage to complete this shot?" At this time, Ke Shouliang had not expressed his position yet. Well, so when it comes to such an issue, even the Bizarro Racing Team is always paying attention to the Ke Shouliang Racing Team.

The Bizarro team snorted and said uncomfortably: "Who knows, but I think that according to the stunt level in Hong Kong City, they wanted to complete this stunt shot under such a situation. That is quite not easy. Therefore, I think the director will modify some other car hoisting scenes because of this. If this is the case, it is still an opportunity for our Bizarro team. Although it offends the director now, But I have to be responsible for everyone's lives. Unless it was me, I would have to shake my head and refuse such a stunt shot."

This approach will leave some very bad effects on the director. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Bizarro is not willing to do it like this. After all, this approach is very harmful to a stunt team. , it is very easy to damage your reputation.

Bizarro Racing is currently on the rise in its career. If word spreads about this temporary refusal to fulfill the contract, then who will be willing to approach Bizarro Racing to make movies in the future?

But this time, it is indeed very dangerous. At a height of three floors, it is simply like dancing on the tip of the god of death. If you are not careful, there will really be a car crash and death. situation.

In fact, what Bizarro hopes most now is that the people in Ke Shouliang's team also see that this shot is relatively dangerous and refuse to complete the shot. In this case, everyone is on the same starting line, even if the director is unhappy. Hu, there is nothing to say at a time like this.

But it is a pity that ideals are full, and reality is indeed very skinny. Regarding such an issue, things have developed in a direction that Bizarro does not want to see.

In fact, when he arrived at the scene, the first thing Ke Shouliang did was to walk around the scene. This is one of his habits. When shooting any stunt shot, even if it is said that the shot was not completed by him personally, but by his own team members. Completed, but as the captain, Ke Shouliang was very conscientious at a time like this to check on the situation at the scene.

In fact, this means knowing what to do. At this time, you are responsible for yourself and your team members. He could already tell that at this time, the scene was indeed quite thrilling, but now that it was at this height and on the main road, it goes without saying that it was dangerous. ,

If he is to do it, basically speaking, even if he does it himself, there is a certain chance of failure. And in a situation like this, if it fails, the result is almost a car crash and death.

After all, at such a high level, if there is an accident, no matter how adequate the preparations are, the chance of survival will be lost in such a problem.

The Bizarro Racing Team rejected this shot, and Ke Shou felt happy for a moment in his conscience. It was his opportunity. This was definitely his opportunity.

The stunt team fights not only for hardware, but also for courage. This scene was well prepared in advance. In order to avoid the impact of wind speed, the crew even said that they built temporary wind deflectors on the left and right.

I have to say that when Hollywood does stunt shots like this, professionals are professionals. Once the Hollywood film industry is launched, the powerful force generated at such a time will be It definitely surprises people from other countries.

For example, if a scene like this is shot in a port city, then in such a matter, it is necessary to rely on the own experience of the stunt team members to figure out the impact of wind speed and other factors on the filming. .

As for building a windshield nearby, such a thing is impossible. If we build a wind deflector, wouldn't it cost a lot of money? In Hong Kong City, even Cheng Long's movies have to be shot on a tight budget, let alone other movies.

But in Hollywood, when shooting stunts like this, it goes without saying that insurance is required. All workers, including temporarily hired workers, must be insured on site.

And speaking of this kind of windshield, it must be there. Otherwise, even if the actors don't say anything, the Screen Actors Guild will definitely ask the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to the crew afterwards, saying that the crew wasted no time on human life. Anyway, there must be a lawsuit. Gotta fight.

Therefore, at this time, Ke Shou actually had an idea in his conscience. He walked over and said to his team members: "This shot is quite dangerous. This kind of shot, although it is said I have also taken pictures, but the height is not this high. Therefore, the risk may exceed our expectations.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, I will take this shot myself, and there will be another person, the car behind me, Hammer, you can follow me, but you have to wait twenty seconds after I fly out before catching up. "

Twenty seconds is actually a buffer period. This is to give the hammer an experience. Ke Shouliang flew out first to experience the shot. If it is completed well, then at this time, the hammer will fly out again. , in terms of security, it will be greatly improved.

If something goes wrong, twenty seconds is basically enough time for Hammer to respond.

You must know that similar shots like this are basically completed in a few seconds. The success or failure actually depends on these few seconds. In Ke Shouliang's team, the ones with the best skills and the most experience are actually Ke Shouliang and Tie Shui.

Why are these two people the captain and second boss? In fact, it means that when the team encounters any difficulties, the captain and deputy captain have to take the lead. At critical times, it still depends on the ability of the captain and deputy captain. This is what makes the stunt team different from other film professions.

For example, for actors, maybe the protagonist is not necessarily the one with the best acting skills in the entire crew. But if we talk about an industry like a stunt team, then the captain is the most skilled person in the team, and the vice-captain is almost the second most skilled person.

There may still be some changes in the vice-captain, but if it is the captain, then in such a thing or above, it is certain that the technology must be the best in the team, no matter which country it is in, It's all like this. For example, in the Bizarro Racing Team, the most skilled person in their team is David Bizarro. In the Ke Shouliang Racing Team, the most skilled person is the captain Ke Shouliang.

Moreover, the one who really has the decision-making power, in almost all cases, is the captain alone. If you are not convinced, there are only two results. Challenge the captain. If the challenge succeeds, you can become the captain. If you fail, then leave. people.

The second way is to leave directly. It is impossible for the team to have a member who does not obey the captain's instructions. (To be continued)
