In the day-to-day training, Leonardo and Liu Ye were strangers from the beginning, and gradually had a tacit understanding, and even became the best comrade in arms of each other.
At this time, the Japanese army continued to invade the southwest of China, and the flying tigers took off more and more frequently. The scenes of air combat in the film were well depicted. The computer special effects used, even Li Mu, who has been leading the aesthetic standards for more than ten years, still feel lifelike and almost have no fault.
In fact, for a long time, CG special effects were innovated in technical means. For example, in the past, the computer special effects needed to take out every frame a little to make. Later, the computer special effects directly used 3D modeling, with human motion acquisition equipment and green screen, saving time and effort.
Although there is no such excellent technical means in the future, the effect of making special effects with the most original frame by frame is no less than that of those blockbusters in the future.
The reason why many films in later generations have been approved as Wumao special effects is not that they are not good enough, but that they just want to save money.
Titanic in 1998, Lord of the rings in 2001 and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone are all outstanding representatives of today's computer special effects, with high budget support. The level of these special effects, even after more than ten years, can still crush a large number of low-cost films.
Flying Tigers, with an investment of 200 million US dollars and a surprisingly low cost of actors, has invested a large amount of budget in the construction of real scenes and computer special effects. Basically, it adheres to the view that those who can build real scenes do not need special effects. Those who need special effects, regardless of cost, must do their best. Even those who use mapping software to do frame by frame, must also do their visual effects To the extreme.
So the visual effect it presents is almost the top level of the film industry today. The picture alone is enough to call it epic movie. The picture of multiple air battles in a row is absolutely the best of all air war movies so far.
If you want to find out something wrong from it, in Li Mu's opinion, the problem is one: it's not 3D.
There's no way. Now 3D technology hasn't really matured. From shooting to showing and watching, 3D devices haven't been popularized, so this regret can only be made up by remaking 3D version in the future.
In each battle, Liu Ye and Leonardo cooperate more and more. Later, Leonardo became Liu Ye's fixed wingman and the two became the most powerful combination of the whole flying tiger team.
One day, the Japanese air force gathered a large number of warplanes to attack, and all the Flying Tigers launched into the air to meet the enemy.
This is the largest and also the most intense battle the Flying Tigers have faced since they were formed.
The two sides fought in the long air, and the whole sky was filled with the sound of huge guns, engines and the roar of airplanes.
From time to time, a fighter plane fell to the ground or hit a mountain with black smoke, and the explosion was deafening.
All commanders, ground maintenance and doctors and nurses of the flying tigers are worried. They don't know whether these flying tigers can win the war and come back alive.
Anne Hathaway plays a nurse who is nervous and at a loss in the hospital. From time to time, she looks out of the window and asks for information about the war situation. When she hears that there is a plane injured and forced to land, she can't bear to look at it. All she thinks about is Liu Ye. She even secretly crosses her chest, asking God to bless him to come back alive.
At this time, the picture is back in the air.
Leonardo and Liu Ye cooperated with each other to shoot down a Japanese zero type fighter.
At this time, three zero type fighters found that they had a strong fighting capacity, so they formed a formation and killed two people from the side and rear, trying to shoot them down.
Liu Ye used Professor Chennault's roll maneuver to decelerate the plane in an instant and circle behind the enemy's plane, but Leonardo got shot in the left wing during the maneuver.
Then, his left wing exploded, half of the wing was blown up, and the plane also turned around and fell to the ground.
After a while, the ground blew up, and the fire blew up.
Liu Ye thought that Leonardo had died and was furious. At the same time, Liu Ye opened fire on Japanese fighters.
The other flying tigers also came to support them. They shot down several enemy planes together. The Japanese air force saw that the wind was down. It was the end of its tether, so they immediately retreated.
The Flying Tigers fought back the enemy for a long time at a tragic cost. Most of the fighters ran out of fuel and began to return. Liu Ye flew several times in low altitude at the place where Leonardo crashed. Without any trace of Leonardo's survival, he could only return with heartache.
At the airport of the Flying Tigers at this time, we have learned that the enemy is defeated. The officers are relieved, and others are celebrating the victory.
One plane began to land, many of which were injured, smoking, and burning. Some of them even failed to rush out of the runway and burst into flames. The ground personnel sent out emergency rescue, and the whole airport was busy.
Anne Hathaway finished her work, ran to the airport, and stared at the landing plane carefully, but all the planes seemed to have returned to land, and did not see Liu Ye's.Anne Hathaway was so worried, but she still looked up at the sky full of red clouds, hoping to see Liu Ye's fighter.
At the same time, Tom Hanks also went to the other side of the airport. He also looked at the sky anxiously and looked around, waiting for Liu Ye and Leonardo's plane to come back.
Seeing the sky getting late, he nervously said to his aide, "our two best pilots haven't come back yet. God bless them not to have any accidents."
At this time, someone heard the roar of the plane, everyone was looking tight, following the prestige, only saw a plane in the cloud, Liu Ye returned.
However, only Liu Ye returned.
When Liu Ye's plane landed on the runway, Tom Hanks and a group of officers strode towards him, and Anne Hathaway ran to Liu Ye from another direction.
Anne Hathaway is closer. When she first ran to Liu Ye, Liu Ye's expression flashed a little bit of heart, but Anne Hathaway didn't stop at all and rushed into his arms.
Liu Ye suddenly didn't know what to do, the whole person was nervous, his hands were too cramped to place, and his face was dull and dull.
At this time, Tom Hanks also arrived. Seeing this picture, he felt his nose awkwardly, and then asked Liu Ye where Leonardo was.
Liu Ye looks gloomy and tells Tom Hanks the whole process of Leonardo's crash in detail.
Tom Hanks was stunned, his expression full of sadness, instinctively recalled the scene when he had bet against the rebellious Leonardo at the flight club.
At this time, Liu Ye said, "I searched in low altitude, and I could not find any sign of survival in my visual range, nor any parachute opened."
Tom Hanks asked, "is the crash in Japan?"
Liu Ye nodded.
Tom Hanks looked a little desperate.
As early as he taught the pilot lessons, he told the Flying Tigers that if they were forced to land or parachute, they should avoid the Japanese occupied area as much as possible. At the first time of landing, they must go to the local people for help rather than the local government, because no one is sure whether the local government has surrendered to the enemy.
The pilots in the Japanese occupied area have nine lives to die. That's because the ground forces in the Japanese occupied area are very sensitive to the pilots of the Flying Tigers. Their superiors have already given strict orders: once a plane of the flying tigers is forced to land or crash in the occupied area, it is necessary to find the remains of the plane and the pilots. No matter whether the pilot is dead or alive, even if it is burned into a skeleton, he must be able to spell it out Come alone, otherwise, even if you dig the whole occupied area for three feet, you must find the flying tiger pilot and put him to death.
So when Tom Hanks learned that Leonardo's plane had crashed in the Japanese occupied area, he immediately decided that Leonardo would not be able to come back alive.
Thinking that it was Leonardo's handsome and unruly smile, he murmured: "I brought the child into this war. If it wasn't for me, he would have lived his own life in Texas safely, but now, he left himself in a strange country on the other side of the earth, and I can't even send his remains back to his parents..."
Liu Ye instinctively said, "I'm sorry..."
Tom Hanks wiped away tears from his eyes, shook his head and said, "it's not your fault. You've done your best."
With that, he took a look at Anne Hathaway, who was holding Liu Ye tightly, and said: "if the Japanese don't come tomorrow, you should stop training, have a good rest, and don't let the girls down on your feelings."
Then, Tom Hanks turned around and left. Liu Ye, who didn't understand the customs, pushed Anne Hathaway away subconsciously and said, "Mr. Chennault, I don't want to miss any training opportunities!"
Tom Hanks looked back at him, saw Anne Hathaway running away with tears in her eyes, and said, "what's in your mind? Can't you see that she likes you? "
Liu Ye was a little shy, but he said firmly: "I swore that I would not drive away the Japanese, nor think of my children and daughters!"
"Ah..." Tom Hanks sighed and turned away.
……
The picture then goes back to the scene of air combat.
When Leonardo crashed, there was a Japanese army patrol far away. One of the Japanese soldiers pointed to the plane spinning and falling in the distance and said loudly: "that plane Should it be from the flying tigers
The Japanese soldier beside nodded and said, "although it's a little far away, it looks like it should be."
The captain like man said, "look, the position should be in our occupied area. Hurry up!"
Then, the Japanese soldiers immediately ran in the direction of the crash.
At the same time, on a small hillside, several Chinese farmers were also watching the plane. One of the older men said, "it's the Flying Tigers that dropped down! Two or three, come with me and see if the pilots of the flying tigers are still alive! ""Uncle Tian, the Japanese and the two devils have said it many times. Who dares to rescue and hide the flying tiger pilots? The whole family will kill their heads!" said the young man, who was called the second child
The old man scolded: "people flying tigers fight in the sky, but they are not afraid to fall down. Why are you so timid? I'll go myself if you don't! "
After that, the old man knocked his cigarette bag on the stone, slipped it into his waist and ran down the hillside.
The two young people took a look at each other and rushed to catch up
