Rogue hero: behind-the-scenes production of dawn rising

Snow Mountain Tunnel Broken Bridge Scene Upgrade International Team Helps Create 3D

After the release of Total War of Rogue Heroes, it received a good response. Director Cai Yuexun revealed that he actually had the idea of building a cinema for this series of works as early as the filming of TV series, and the action scale and achievements of the first song also created a "difficult problem" for him to shoot the second song. To this end, in order to upgrade the action special effects, he specially created more difficult scenes such as "Snow Mountain Tunnel" and "Broken Bridge" for Grand Theft Auto Dawn. As for why 3D was filmed, Cai Dao explained: "Grand Theft Auto 2 does have the characteristics of 3D, and many scenes are more suitable for 3D presentation."

In addition, international teams from the United States, Japan and other countries have also realized more possibilities for this film: Jack Gill, a Hollywood action director who won the 20 12 World Special Effects Award for Fast and Furious 5, designed a helicopter chase scene for the film; Ron Yuan, a Chinese-American actor and martial arts expert who has performed in 24 Hours and The Fast and the Furious, has created many exciting and intense action scenes. The French visual effects company BUF, which won the 50th Golden Horse Award for visual effects, produced many special effects scenes of urban destruction, and Japanese art director Akatsuka Yoshihito also brought the combination of modern fashion and technological action to this film.

The new "rascal" and "martial hero" are strangers.

Kenny Lin, who once had a deep friendship with Mark Chao for filming the Dragon King of Di Renjie, replaced Bo Huang as a new gangster in Dawn of Rogue Heroes, and the "spark" between him and Mark Chao became a new attraction in the second film. This time, Wu Hero and two young detectives with different principles and attitudes are played. This time, not only will Harbour City face a new crisis, but they will also face unprecedented difficulties. For them, when justice is not necessarily justice, what kind of faith should they stick to so as not to be destroyed?

According to Mark Chao, Kenny Lin played the role of a criminal policeman from the Eastern District. He is smart, eccentric, unsociable and even a little "antisocial", but his loveliness lies in his narcissism and loveliness. They can be called "no discord, no concord". As a "rogue, a constant hero", it also means that the hero Wu in the last movie was reflected by many viewers as "inhuman, too rigid, like a robot". "Especially, he has little interaction with the actor opposite, so you have to rely on such a powerful actor to catch him, and this time we all hope to adopt a new model, such as choking with him and joking with him.

Mark Chao took the initiative to join the "writers' group", and 90% of the action scenes were played in person.

Speaking of this action scene, Mark Chao said with a smile that he had a speculative mentality and wanted to be lazy and let body double take some dangerous shots. Unexpectedly, director Cai said to him on the set: "You are better than body double, so come on!" As a result, Mark Chao not only personally appeared in more than 90% of the action scenes and blasting scenes, but also once had his hand stabbed by a prop knife. After going to the hospital for stitches and tetanus, he immediately returned to the set to continue filming. In addition, the director also revealed that those who starred in "Wu Hero" for the third time also took the initiative to join the "screenwriter group". "He knows the story as well as I do. This time, he really helped me a lot in the story and even provided me with new concepts, because he knew better what Wu Hero should say and do. "

Back to join "Wu Hero" there is still no emotional drama.

In addition, Zhang Junning, a Taiwanese beauty who once appeared in TV series, and Gulnazar, a beautiful girl aged 2/kloc-0 from mainland China, also joined the film instead of Angelababy in the first song. Zhang Junning revealed that she thought the return was just like a TV series, but she was taken to practice rock climbing on the first day of the cast. Therefore, speaking of this cooperation with director Cai, it is summarized by "expecting but afraid of injury". Gulnazar's performance in Hero 2 was the first time in her life to shoot with a gun, but she repeatedly shouted "fun and exciting". Although there are two beautiful women in the film, Mark Chao said regretfully, "This time, Wu Hero still has no beautiful women, only accompanied him."

Scene shooting: Southern District Police Station

The "seaport city" where the series of "Rogue Heroes" stories took place is actually Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan Province Province. As the shooting place of this series, Kaohsiung, which was famous for its heavy industry a few years ago, is fully transforming into a tourist and cultural city, and the municipal government also encourages the development of the film industry. The Southern District Police Station, where the hero Wu plays, is one of the important scenes in the first film and an important role in the second film. At the end of the second movie, the real building of 1: 1 will be blown to pieces (pictured). The Southern District Police Station is located along the True Love Wharf in Kaohsiung City. The action scenes of Mark Chao and Kenny Lin taking helicopters were taken in the surrounding open space. According to the film, this "ruin" will soon disappear.

Snow mountain tunnel, prop car

In order to further present the large-scale disaster scene of urban destruction, Cai Yuexun's team spent RMB 654.38+06 million to build a film factory on the 5,000-ping open space in Kaohsiung's dream era, and built three scenes in the film, including a tunnel and pilot pit with a length of 70 meters, a broken bridge similar to Macau's Xiwan Bridge, and an EMP building roof built with steel structure according to the true scale of Xueshan Tunnel1:/kloc-0. Many disaster action scenes in Grand Theft Auto 2 were shot here, and then real scenes were combined with special effects. It is reported that this digital special effects studio will be transformed into a miniature cinema and theme park to welcome tourists after shooting.
