Chapter 649 "Assassin" Finished (Part [-])

Egypt, Cairo.

Every year in November, this time is the sandstorm season in the desert area of ​​Cairo, Egypt. During this period, the entire desert area will become a place where wind and sandstorms rage.

There is a "huhu" dry wind blowing between the sky and the earth, which makes people's skin numb, and in less than two days, it can dry out and damage people's skin, making it look terribly ugly.As for the weather, it was still extremely hot during the day, but at night the temperature could drop to a few degrees below zero. The taste of ice and fire was not something ordinary people could bear.

Today is November 28th, and it is also the third week that the "Assassin's Creed" filming crew came to Cairo, and today, they will shoot the last set of shots under the scorching sun - the Crusades and the Arab Legion desert war.

"My friends, after working so long and staying in the desert for more than half a month, we will usher in the last moment today." Chen Xiaotang, who is the boss and the leading actor, is standing on a big rock at this moment, expressing his His feelings: "Filming is very hard work. We all tried this a long time ago, but," he looked at everyone and said solemnly: "But we persevered and overcame countless difficulties, and finally reached the end. One step." Chen Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his voice and said: "We will finish the final shooting later, once we succeed, then we can open champagne and light fireworks to celebrate wantonly, and if we don't succeed in one fell swoop, then , we will stay here for at least half a month."

Chen Xiaotang's eyes slowly turned around the crew members standing under the boulder, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "But we don't have that much time, if this last shooting can't be done, then this year's Hollywood Christmas schedule We will miss it in vain, which will not only affect the box office results, but also affect the company's next plan, so we can only succeed, not fail!"

The eloquent declaration caused everyone to shout fiercely: "You can only succeed. You cannot fail!"

"You can only succeed, you cannot fail!"...

Accompanied by everyone's frantic shouts, Chen Xiaotang waved his hand in satisfaction and said, "Okay, now let director Cheng Xiaodong speak to everyone."

Cheng Xiaodong stood on the big rock with a cold face. Everyone thought that he would give a long speech, and then boost everyone's morale like Chen Xiaotang.But he only said one sentence: "I announce. The final scene of "Assassin's Creed" is now filming!"

"The camera is in place!"

"The tape recorder is in place!"

"Blower in place!"

"The blasting team is in place!"

"Aerial photography is ready!"

"The actors are in place!"...

"...Clear the scene and start filming!"

The camera opens, bringing the scene in front of you into the bottom of the mirror.

I saw more than 1000 war horses screaming with their heads held high, and the legion wearing crusader costumes stood majestically in the wind and sand.

Facing them at a distance of 500 meters, more than 1000 camels held their heads high, and the Arab Legion in white robes and veils was shouting to the sky with Persian scimitars in their hands.

Such a large-scale war scene is absolutely thrilling.And the gathering of these people must be thanks to the Arab sheikhs including Sandy.It was their selfless assistance that made such a magnificent scene.In the words of a chief to Chen Xiaotang: "We need people and horses. We need money and money, as long as you speak to the envoy, everything is easy to talk about!"

Not to mention, these Arab chiefs, apart from oil, at least have lofty cultural accomplishments in their heads.And Chen Xiaotang's Arabic poem "All Things Live" has completely captured their hearts.At this time, Chen Xiaotang has been recognized as a new generation of bards sent from heaven, otherwise, how could he sing such beautiful sounds of nature?Otherwise, how could he interpret the beautiful Arabic poetry in that unique way?Only through the guidance of Allah, can such a miracle be created!

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang became extremely noble in the eyes of these Arabs, not to mention that Chen Xiaotang needed an army and a camel for filming.Even if Chen Xiaotang wanted to blow up an oil plant, few people would object.

At this moment, filming is about to begin.

Faced with such a big scene, Fatty Wang Jing as the producer and Cheng Xiaodong as the director were sweating in their palms, it was like cooking.Now that Chen Xiaotang has prepared enough of the best ingredients, it depends on how the two chefs do it.

Director Cheng Xiaodong silently adjusted the camera and lens switching, and directed the actors' next moves with hand gestures.

There is no way, because the shooting distance is too far, and it is simply unrealistic to shout loudly, not to mention that in such a huge army, the only way to "tell the show" to the actors is through gestures and body language.

Besides Sandy, many of the "dragon" actors are filming for the first time, but as a man, especially a brave Arab man, who has never dreamed of holding a machete, riding a horse and whip, and charging into battle on the battlefield?
So at this moment, the big guys are surprisingly cooperating, each and every one of them is like a real warrior, full of murderous aura, heroic spirit, and an exhilarating drive!

The blower started whirring——
In fact, even without a blower, the strong wind in the desert alone is majestic enough.

The horse neighs, the sword blares!
White robes are flying, camels are galloping!
The wind and sand blow up, and the desert has gold and iron horses, and a cruel war begins.

The camera kept switching, and with the sound of explosions, the whole earth began to shake violently. Then, the castle that had already been built collapsed instantly behind the camel army, billowing dust and smoke, filling the world.

The sounds of screams, shouts, fighting, and explosions interweave into a torrent, pouring into people's eardrums.

The 15-minute war scene was silently included in the film by the camera.

Looking at the camera again, the original thousands of troops have become a small wave of defeated soldiers. Whether it is the Crusaders or the Arab Legion, both sides have suffered huge losses. On the ground, "blood" flows into rivers, people, horses, and camels" "Corpse" fell into one piece, banners and swords were randomly inserted in the desert, and the wind and smoke billowed, heralding the cruelty and end of the war.

The assassin "Altaïr" played by Chen Xiaotang, facing the master played by Longger, asked loudly: "Look at these innocent lives, is this what you want?"

Longger laughed wildly: "For the pieces of the Garden of Eden, everything can be killed, including you!"

Chen Xiaotang narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "You, can you?"

Longger: "Don't forget, all your skills are taught by me, now, I want your life!"

Long Geer clamped his legs and charged towards Chen Xiaotang.Close-up, his eyes are blood red.Relying on his indestructible black armor, he wanted to trample Chen Xiaotang under his horse.

Seeing that the horse's head in iron armor was about to knock Chen Xiaotang to the ground.

Chen Xiaotang suddenly turned into a white rainbow and shot it!

Chen Xiaotang stood in the desert with his back to Longer.

Longer sat on the horse, and the horse neighed and pawed on the spot.

In a close-up shot, Longer made a "Yiwu" sound from his throat: "How is it possible?!"

Suddenly blood spurted from the neck and fell off the horse!
Chen Xiaotang put the hood back on, and gradually disappeared in the desert with a limp in the wind and sand.The only thing that remains unchanged is the yellow sand all over the sky and the whistling wind that has been blowing for thousands of years.

"Okay, now I announce that "Assassin's Creed" is officially finished!" When the character played by Chen Xiaotang walked out of sight, the director Cheng Xiaodong shouted loudly: "Friends, let's cheer together, let's revel!"

When he called out, all the crew members put down their work one after another, turned off the blower and the tape recorder, and the helicopter used for aerial photography also landed, except for the staff of the photography crew who were still busy loading the film. Outside the box, other people kept cheering, hugging, jumping and shouting, and the whole camp fell into a hysterical frenzy.

"We have been busy for almost a whole month, costing as much as 500 million US dollars, and dispatched a total of more than 2000 people. My friends, today, we finally succeeded!" Cheng Xiaodong couldn't suppress his excitement, trembling all over his body.Hey, it's a total of 500 million U.S. dollars, which is almost [-] million Hong Kong dollars!If so much money is used to shoot ordinary Hong Kong movies, then a dozen or so movies can be made, but it costs so much money for just one movie, which is simply a waste of money!I didn't feel it at the time, but now that I'm free, I feel numb just thinking about it. Can you keep him from shaking with excitement?
"Fortunately, we didn't waste so much money, so much time and manpower. Now we have succeeded. After suffering so much, we finally succeeded!" Cheng Xiaodong's complexion was not very good-looking, a little dark. Except for a few people, the entire crew has been tanned a lot during this period. If they stay longer, everyone will definitely not be much better than the locals.

However, the current crew members don't mind this, because they are about to see the harvest and see the praise and pursuit of the fruits of their labor from all over the world. Filmmakers are also artists. When they meet the basic material conditions , the pursuit of fame is no weaker than those famous calligraphers, painters and writers, so they are very happy and excited now, only excited about the upcoming sensation.

"A Tang is back!" Fatty Wang Jing suddenly shouted.

Not far away, Chen Xiaotang, who played the role of Assassin Altai in the wind and sand, was limping towards this side.

He is not acting. The fact is that when he was filming the scene where he swooped and assassinated Jean-Claude Van Damme just now, his foot was twisted when he landed, and it still hurts like hell.

Suddenly, with a stagger, Chen Xiaotang almost squatted on the ground.

"A Tang, are you alright?" The fat man ran over to support him.

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly, "Unexpectedly, I twisted my foot in the last scene!"

The fat man chuckled, "This is a good sign!"

"How to say?"

"Limp, hit the box office!"

"It's really you!" Chen Xiaotang laughed.

The whole crew seemed extremely happy in such an atmosphere!
