more ambitious and exciting racing culture.
Although in Hollywood movies, racing is the most important and essential element, but like the "Fast and Furious" series, the racing, modified cars There are not many movies that are connected with extreme sports and promoted as a culture. Therefore, after the shooting of "Fast and Furious 4" and "Fast and Furious 5", how to shoot this sixth episode, and whether you can continue to show drag racing and car culture in the sixth episode has become the main creator of the film. The most concerned part.
The producer of the film, Neil H. Moretz, said: "In Van Diesel and my mind, this sixth episode exists, but how do we unfold this story? Difficulty. We talked many times and finally decided to take this movie to a bigger and more exciting realm. That is to say, in the new movie, not only faster speeds and better speeds The big scenes also have more exciting stories and fighting scenes. That is to say, in this movie, the racing scenes will be more grand and exciting than the previous movies." In the eyes of the main creator of the film, " "Fast and Furious 5" is just an excessive movie, and the bigger story is yet to come. Moreover, the president of Universal Pictures has put forward higher demands on the film industry. He hopes that the crew can turn this film into a film that can be compared with films like "Italian Mission" and "French Drug Network". Universal’s President Adam said: “I hope that this movie can have pure car culture, bring this culture into pure action movies, and make the culture and spirit represented by this series become later movies. . the example "
to achieve this, the film's creative design for the film a huge story - the need for large-capacity two movies to be fully contained. Diesel, the leading actor and producer, said: "The capacity of the film is too large, so we had to shoot it as a top and bottom film, which means that the sixth and seventh episodes are actually a story. We will adopt The shooting of these two films was done back-to-back. In these two films, there will be more roaring vehicles, and all the character relationships will be sorted out. When we were thinking about and discussing such stories, we found that , A movie simply can’t hold so much content. The script is 110 pages long. So it is imperative to split the movie into two episodes. The racing culture and vehicle modification in the movie will definitely make people feel uncomfortable. It’s refreshing.”
Big scenes, big shots
Since there must be a huge story frame, the filming of the film naturally cannot be ambiguous. In order to be able to shoot a huge scene, the crew traveled a long distance from the United States to the famous Pinewood Studio in the United Kingdom, where the filming began on July 30, 2012. Moreover, the director Lin Yibin wanted to detonate a tank on the street and was banned by ZF, so he had to set up a real scene in the studio and use this artificial setting to shoot this shot. Regarding the shooting of such a big battle, Lin Yibin said: "We never expected that this movie would become so huge, nor did we think that we would use so much manpower and material resources to shoot this movie. Some. The shooting of the scene is very dangerous. Fortunately, we used a lot of stuntmen to work in the film. Apart from some minor injuries, no accidents happened. Although the results and process of the work are very satisfying, the filming of this film is so amazing. People feel very tired.” The
film’s stunts and car chase scenes were shot in Glasgow, Scotland on August 29, 2012. It was shot until September of that year. In order to handle this big scene, the crew used nearly 300 stuntmen and racing technicians in addition to the main actors. For some close-up scenes, the crew used large hydraulic devices and display devices to shoot them. And some aerial shots use airplanes and some special equipment. The highlight of the car chase in the film cannot be shot on the road or in the studio. The crew rented an abandoned Royal Air Force base and built a simple street scene here. It took a full month to complete the filming. After the early stage shooting, the later stage was equally troublesome. In order to be able to edit the film to a satisfactory level, Lin Yubin hired 5 editors to edit the film. Five special effects teams are responsible for the adjustment of the visual effects and colors of the film. The mixing step is the most important part of the entire later stage, because the position, speed, and engine displacement of each car are different, and the roar of the motor is also different. In particular, there are many new sports cars and old-school American muscle cars in this movie, which requires the mixer to show the personality of different vehicles with different sound effects. In order to achieve excellence, the mixer rented a studio the size of two movie theaters, and worked in it alone, just for the final sound effects of the film to be flawless.
