As a modern military blockbuster, "Operation Red Sea" naturally cannot lack grand explosion scenes.

In fact, because of their solid foundation and the active cooperation of Morocco, the crew was equipped with a large number of weapons and equipment throughout the whole process, including aircraft, tanks, etc., and every one of them was a real guy.

Lin Chaoxian, who received strong support, naturally went to great lengths to do whatever he wanted.

In fact, the story of "Operation Red Sea" is very simple. It is divided into two lines. One is the 8-member team of Jiaolong as the core, which evacuates foreigners with the purpose of saving people. The other is the female reporter played by Huang Yi as the core, with the purpose of counter-terrorism.

The purpose is to solve the dirty bomb crisis.

In the back, because the enemy also held a Chinese citizen hostage, the two branches at the back converged into one main line, and the task of Jiaolong's 8-man team became increasingly difficult.

The reason why today's scene is the highlight is because it is one of the most "intense" battle scenes in the script. When the protagonist group "Jiaolong Commandos" followed the local special forces escorting civilians to their destination, they were ambushed by the enemy along the way.

, the local special forces suffered all casualties, and only nine of our Jiaolong commandos and female reporters survived, and then launched a desperate counterattack.

Sniper combat and machine gun shooting are all childish. The enemy even mounted mortars.

Of course, it is impossible to actually have mortar shells explode around the actors during filming. The close-up shots are actually replaced by explosion scenes debugged by pyrotechnics technicians.

To put it bluntly, the visual effects of an explosion such as fire and sound are all present, but the most lethal shock wave is minimized.

But even so, the explosion scene is still the most dangerous scene on the set, if not one of them.

It is clear just by looking at the "casualty list" of stuntmen in the past.

Like Big Brother Cheng, he jumped off a building and did a 360-degree somersault and then landed on his butt. At most, he would break his leg or something.

But there are the most stuntmen and even celebrity entertainers who accidentally get involved in explosion scenes.

For example, in the more well-known accident in our reality, when the guy from Kuaiman and Selina from SHE were filming a movie, they were engulfed in a raging fire without any preparation due to the pyrotechnician's mistake.

In the end, the man's burn area reached 35%, most of which was concentrated on his face.

The woman suffered severe burns on more than 50% of her body, nearly 80% of which were third-degree burns, mainly on her back and limbs.

This was almost devastating to both people's acting careers at the time.

Artists and celebrities are so dangerous, and stuntmen who often deal with explosion scenes are even risking their lives.

There are even rumors on some online forums that there is some inside story, such as rumors that all the explosion scenes in the filming have a "death quota".

Of course this is nonsense, but it also reflects how dangerous the explosion scene is.

Lin Chaoxian actually pays great attention to the safety of the actors. In some unnecessary scenes, he always uses professional stuntmen.

Of course, this does not mean that stuntmen have a low life, but that people are just living for a living, right?

However, in today's scene, there were too many close-up shots. It took two full days of filming, but the effect produced by using a double was still not very satisfactory.

Finally, Lin Chaoxian discussed with Ding Zhi and others, and finally decided to let the actors perform in person.

Ding Zhi agreed quite simply, as did Zhang Yi and Huang Yi.

The top three of them all agreed, so the others didn't say much and just did it.

Ding Zhi and others had already put on the equipment of the special forces, which weighed a full 30 kilograms, and their previous physical training was prepared for these details.

Orbital cameras and drones were deployed, and pyrotechnicians and demolition engineers prepared all the rehearsals.

...

...

Aerial perspective.

A convoy of vehicles was traveling through the desert of North Africa with billows of smoke and dust.

This is the Jiaolong commando team taking female reporter Xia Nan, following the local government troops to the provisional government assembly area.

Suddenly, the vehicle in front stopped suddenly.

The camera moved forward, and in the back rows, captain Yang Rui, played by Ding Zhi, frowned and stuck his head out to observe the situation. He was obviously a little confused.

He turned around, looked at the deputy Xu Hong played by Zhang Yi, and jumped out of the car.

"Captain Yang!"

The leader of the government troops in front of him first greeted Yang Fei and told him the reason.

"We received news here that the road ahead is dangerous and we need to change the route here."

"Diversion?"

Yang Rui frowned, obviously something was beyond his expectation.

Because before this, when the superiors gave them the order, they should try their best to rescue Deng Mei, a Chinese citizen who was trapped in the terrorist lair, within three hours. But now they have to take a detour and it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach them within the specified time.

"Zhuang Yu, contact the warship!"

Yang Rui did not think for too long, but quickly made a judgment and passed the information on the changed situation to his superiors.

However, when the signalmen were contacting the warship, a sudden piercing whistling sound attracted the attention of all of them.

"boom!"

Before they could react, a loud noise and explosion were heard not far from them.

Yang Rui's eyes were cracked, and he suddenly turned around. The camera gave him a big close-up here.

"Mortar! Artillery!!!!"

That heart-rending roar seemed to be torn from his lungs. Suddenly, the sense of urgency and crisis reached its peak with his roar!

immediately

"Click!"

Lin Chao, who was behind the monitor, shouted "Ka" first.

One shot completed.

"Dingzi, good! Another pass!"

Lin Chaoxian looked at Ding Zhi with admiration in his eyes.

As a director, he can't help but like Ding Zhi. He lives a good life and is dedicated to his work. He can do martial arts dramas by himself. Even in the literary and drama parts where military themes are always ignored, he can give many surprises.

At this time, he once again felt a little regretful about why he was not cast in the original "Guild Wars".

As for a certain mean-faced man who always worked extremely hard, Lin Chaoxian had already forgotten about it.

"Okay! Next scene! Explosion scene! Ah Liu! How prepared are you?"

"Any time!"

"Dingzi, what about you?"

"I have no problem. After all, a real man never looks at the explosion behind him!"

With everything ready, Ding Zhi and Huang Yi were ready to shoot the next close-up explosion scene.

"The whole world is ready! Fireworks are in place! Countdown to 10 seconds!"

As the loudspeaker counted down, Ding Zhi stood next to Huang Yi, ready at any time.

Huang Yi has taken good care of herself. Even though she is now in her forties, she still looks like a young woman in her early thirties. However, due to her current appearance in the movie, she is not very good-looking at this time.

The more difficult the environment, the deeper the relationship between everyone. During this period of filming, everyone became familiar with each other, and they had fun on set. The relationship between Ding Zhi and Huang Yi can be considered good.

Ding Zhi could slightly feel that the senior actor next to him seemed very nervous.

After all, not to mention the other party, even Ding Zhi was actually a little nervous. After all, in order for the camera to show it perfectly, the two of them were actually relatively close to the explosive point.

This is not something that can be alleviated by experience.

"Sister Yi, I'll take you with you later, and then we'll dance together! Just like in the rehearsal."

"Okay, no problem."

She turned her head sideways, smiled and nodded at Ding Zhi.

Not far away, Lin Chaoxian's countdown continued. Ding Zhi didn't speak anymore. He listened carefully, ready to pull Huang Yi next to him and jump up at any time.

"Five...four...three..."
Chapter completed!
