Chapter 1630

Nearly 20 seat Toyota Koster, carrying several old flying tigers and their relatives, went to the shooting base of Flying Tigers, which is the airstrip restored by the crew.

When the old people came to the red earth with their cars, Li Mu could see that each of them was showing different excitement and excitement.

Although the airport used for shooting is not the original site of that year's reconstruction, because the airstrip was also in such a red land, so for the old people, it looks exactly the same.

What excites them most is actually the dozens of p-40c airplanes parked in the airport. It is said that half of them are real airplanes and half are replica props.

Li Mu can't tell which of these airplanes are real ones and which are props, but these old people have unique insight. They almost swarmed to several of them, went up to touch them, circled them and cried, but there were so few airplanes that looked like no difference.

Ninghao exclaimed in front of Li Mu: "these old men, their eyes are really good. I've been here for so long, they can't tell which is true or which is false. They can see it at a glance."

Li Mu asked with a smile, "you don't know which is true or which is false. How do you know that the old men are right?"

Ning Hao said with a smile, "I can't tell, but remember the number of the fuselage. The singular is the real machine, and the even number is the props."

"All right." Li Mu nodded and walked to sun Xiaozhong, who was stroking the p-40c propeller in front of him with his trembling hand. He pushed the propeller slightly with all his strength and his face was excited and excited.

Li Mu asked him, "Mr. Sun, would you like to take a picture with this plane? How many photos shall I ask the photographer to take for you? "

When sun Xiaozhong heard this, he was excited first, then looked at himself, and found that he was wearing the most common white short sleeved T-shirt today. He was a little embarrassed and said, "it's not suitable for me to take photos with him like this. I'll have a chance to talk about it later. I'll wear it formally then..."

Han Zili, an old man, nodded his head and said in a joking tone, "take a picture with these old guys. How can you dress so casually? You have to dress up in a mountain suit, anyway?"

Han Zili's son couldn't help saying, "Dad, just put on your old pilot's clothes and take a picture with it. It's so memorable."

Han Zili said with a smile, "it's easy for you to say that the Flying Tigers sent me my uniform. I put it on until the end of the Anti Japanese War, and then I changed into the military uniform of the Chinese army. That suit has been kept for a long time, but when I went to Taiwan in 49 years, because the plane luggage was overweight, I was detained."

As soon as Li Mu slapped his head, he said, "our crew will have the replica Flying Tiger uniforms. Let the crew take you to try them on. Hundreds of uniforms will suit you."

"Really?!" The two old men, as well as the other two Chinese old members of the flying tiger team, all looked at Li Mu in surprise.

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

Li Mu called Spielberg and told him his idea in English. He said: "Steven, I'll ask the staff to take some old gentlemen to put on a suitable uniform later and ask the photographer to take some photos for them, which is of great significance to them."

Spielberg nodded without hesitation and said, "then I'll arrange it. Our stunt pilots are still there. Do you want them to fly the plane for some old gentlemen?"

Li Mu asked in surprise, "can you fly at any time? Don't you have to apply to the military region? "

In Li Mu's impression, the airspace of China is managed by the air force, and the flight routes of civil aviation also need the approval of the air force, and the aircrafts of the crew have to be approved by the air force.

"It's common sense to apply a few days in advance before each flight, but our local military region has given us a lot of support, knowing that we need to shoot aerial camera, so it gives us a privilege to report to the military region directly before the plane takes off. As long as the military region nods, it can fly immediately," Spielberg said

Li Mu asked again, "how long does it take for the military region to approve?"

"In a minute or two, we are directly in touch with 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 and has not received the flight request from other airlines, it will immediately give us permission," Spielberg said

With that, Spielberg added: "our p-40c, and our camera helicopter, can basically take off at any time."

Li Mu nodded contentedly and said, "let the pilots of the flight team prepare for it. When the old gentlemen change their uniforms, they will take off to salute them."

For Hollywood's medium and large-scale film and television companies, they have a very high demand for film quality. In the process of filming, only the scenes that must use computer special effects can use special effects. Other shots are shot in real scenes as much as possible, because only the real scenes are the most perfect. Take Tom Cruise's "top gun" for example, the reason why it has become a lot of audiences In the eyes of the classic air combat film, it is largely due to a large number of real fighter lens in the play. If all the computer special effects are used, the scene will definitely be discounted.Therefore, in "Flying Tigers", many of the shots about air combat are taken in real time. The ordinary aerial shot is completed by helicopter. The special shot of chasing and rolling in air combat is in the charge of a stunt plane, which is intended to reproduce the real scene when flying tigers fight with enemies in the air.

For this reason, the crew specially invited a stunt flight performance team from the United States to take aerial shots.

Li Mu suddenly thought of many war films and TV plays of later generations in China. In his impression, all the domestic war films and TV plays he had seen used the special effect of "Wumao" when they were related to the camera lens of the airplane. Even in his mind, the camera lens about the airplane in the war TV series No.1 "my leader and my regiment" was all poor special effect of "Wumao", which was extremely bad for the scenery.

Originally, the expeditionary army had to fly to Myanmar, which was a tragic thing. But on the screen, a plane was on a piece of ragged ground, which made it feel extremely stingy. Moreover, the lens of the plane on the ground can be seen at a glance that the props were made too unwittingly, and the special effect lens after the plane lifted off was even worse Confused, the three-year-old can see that the plane is fake.

It's true that this has something to do with the budget of film and TV series, but why can't the budget lean to the quality? So that in the future, the cost of 200 million yuan, 180 million yuan is the actor's remuneration. As for how to shoot, it doesn't matter. The special effect of five cents can be dealt with casually, so there are a lot of stingy movies and TV plays.

Li Mu thinks that he may not be able to influence the development direction of Chinese film and television plays in the future, or improve the overall requirements of the industry for film quality, but at least he can set an example by first shooting several high-quality films to give a sample to the Chinese film industry.

In the time of wild thinking, several old men changed their suits one by one and came out of a big green tent. Although they were too old, they put on their uniforms and sunglasses. It was very impressive.

Among these old flying tigers, there are Chinese faces and American faces. Just like the old photos of Flying Tigers, the young people who were brave and brave in those days have now become old and old people. However, apart from their bodies, everything is no different.

The uniform is the same as the uniform of that year, the airport is the same as the airport of that year, and the aircraft is also the same as the aircraft of that year.

By this time, the stunt pilots had got into six p-40cs, and the plane started, queuing up to the end of the runway.

The old people didn't expect that just after changing their clothes, the planes had started. They were surprised to ask why.

Li Mu said to the crowd, "the members of the stunt flight team should lift these planes to the sky, salute you, and let you see the scene of this plane flying in the blue sky again."

The old men nodded excitedly, their eyes fixed on the plane, and they were reluctant to blink.

The military region has given the permission for the flight of the flying team, which has a radius of 20 kilometers and a ceiling of 5000 meters. As a result, the six p-40c fighters, one by one, accelerate, lift the wheels and lift off in succession, complete the formation in the air and start the performance flight.

The old people applauded and watched the plane's changing flight over the airport in high spirits. After several low-altitude flights, Li Mu carefully found that every old man had a smile on his face, but also tears.

Sun Xiaozhong said: "looking at these airplanes flying back and forth over the head, all I think of are the scenes when I was driving the same type of fighter in the sky and fighting with the enemy. This kind of feeling is like another world, and it seems to be in front of me."

Six planes flew in the air for half an hour, performing a lot of thrilling and exciting flight postures, and then landed on the runway one after another. After the six planes stopped side by side, Li Mu said to several old people, "let's go and take photos now."

Several old people nodded and came to a p-40c plane to stand. The old people of the two countries helped each other. As they did in those days, they took photos in front of the plane for souvenirs. An old American Flying Tiger member wiped his tears and sighed: "when we took photos, I always liked to climb the wings and the fuselage. Now I can't climb any more."

Sun Xiaozhong patted him on the back and said with a smile, "John, that time has passed. We used to sit in the cabin and drive these guys to the sky by ourselves. Now, there is no such opportunity. It's not our time now."

The old American Flying Tiger named John nodded softly and said, "I'm satisfied to see them again, touch them, listen to their engines and watch them fly in the sky..."
