There are also a few behind-the-scenes films in which Lin Chaoxian participated in the work relationship. Unlike many directors who sit behind monitors and point fingers, Lin Chaoxian is the kind of director who will participate in the work of various departments. According to Teacher Han Yu's words, "The director is a director who likes to move very much." Choosing the most realistic guns and ammunition, demonstrating actions to actors, riding a motorcycle with a photographer to take pictures, etc., etc., he really couldn't be idle at the scene. And these participation, in addition to his special knowledge, is more of a love for movies.
It is precisely because of this love that he wants to be the ultimate in every scene. He just likes gunfights, car chases, explosions, and action, especially "Operation Mekong", where he is able to create and reasonably try all kinds of action scenes in the world. How could the director let go of such a rare opportunity? ? Therefore, every action scene in "Operation Mekong" is very enjoyable. As a result of all the efforts to show, the first rough cut version was already 4 hours long. The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat. In the end, it will be reduced to 2 hours, which will definitely sacrifice some action scenes and plot foreshadowing. Sadly for the storytelling.
The shooting of "Operation Mekong" was more like a march.
From the sultry heat in Southeast Asia, to the continuous changing scenes of forests, caves, and thieves' areas, to helicopters, racing cars, speedboats, close combat, and then to the actors' real-life 40-pound body armor. Camping, fighting, evacuating, camping, daring, evacuating... Nearly half a year of marching life has been a test of willpower for the actors and staff. Presumably they are now climbing 10 floors without breathing. .
In the face of such arduous shooting, not everyone can bear it.
So, not surprisingly, Peng Yuyan appeared again. "Fighting", "Breaking the Wind" and "Operation Mekong", none of them are easy. Why did the director choose Eddie Peng again? He couldn't help laughing and said, "Eddie is the first thing that comes to mind for such a tough movie!" Lin Chaoxian's movie is famous for his hard work, and there are not many actors who are willing to follow him. Especially now, the trend in the film market is to make all kinds of quick money. It's still so hard to shoot for 6 months. It's better to shoot two sets of romance. It's not that the fast filming is not good. "Zhiming and Chunjiao" only has 15 shooting days, but it is still an interesting and thoughtful film. It's just that the market has become more and more impetuous, and there are fewer and fewer actors who are willing to put in energy and physical strength. Action scenes are often injured, and many actors will say what is broken and what is green, to prove that they have paid for the role, but when we asked Eddie Peng, he always said that he was not injured, and those flesh wounds were not counted in his opinion. thing. Therefore, I have always felt that Eddie Peng's work attitude is particularly good.
Teacher Han Yu, who is used to filming male dramas. Ask him how hard it was to film this play? He said it was hard work, then thought about it, smiled and said it was hard work. The director said that the film literally trained Zhang Hanyu to be an action actor. And my personal favorite in this play is Han Yu's lines. As soon as she says it, it smells like a stubborn drug captain.
It's been two days since it was released, and it's very gratifying that the public praise is good. After all, the audience can feel whether it is filmed with care and whether it is played with care. Hope the box office is a success!

ps, I said that the director likes to participate in all positions, in fact, he also plays soy sauce in the movie. There was a melee in the mall, and there was a pick-up car at the door, and the driver was director Lin Chaoxian. Students who haven't seen it can pay attention to it if they are interested.

pps, because some bean friends asked me for the 4-hour version Questions, I will reply here uniformly~ (2016/10/16)
In the editing process of the movie, generally, according to the script, all the shooting materials will be cut into a rough cut version, which is the 4-hour version mentioned in my article. Then cut the content according to the duration and rhythm. The 2-hour final version that everyone is watching now is the version that has been cut many times and the director believes that it is the most suitable for viewing habits (the movie duration generally accepted by the audience is 90-120min).
So I mentioned in the article that cutting from 4 hours to 2 hours has a lot of action scenes and plots foreshadowing. Of course it's a pity~ During the editing process, everyone kept thinking about how to keep the integrity of the material to the greatest extent possible? Some people thought about releasing the next episode, and some people thought about deleting a large action scene. But the director finally decided on the current version~ It's really a very difficult decision~
I have seen the 4-hour version, but out of professional ethics, I can't share the video materials. Please forgive me~
I know everyone If you want to see the complete material like this, the director will definitely be very happy! ! Let's look forward to the next work of director Lin Chaoxian~
