Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 611 Special Effects of Air Combat
Ronald hugged Diane sweetly. When he was with Diane, he felt very relaxed. The two hugged each other like this, and fell asleep deeply.
"Om..." Two tomcats flew by, and Ronald clearly felt that he was dreaming again.

An F-5S painted black with an obvious pentagram on the wing appeared in the dream, and then with a buzzing sound, another F-28S, also a fake MiG-5, cut in from an angle outside the camera , The two machines are side by side, giving people a silent sense of oppression.

The pilots of the enemy planes all wore oxygen masks and never showed their faces, giving people a powerful feeling.

"They have four, four... No, five." Iceman and Slider yelled from the F-14, and soon their wingmen Hollywood and Werewolf were shot down by missiles fired by MiGs.

"Let the Lone Ranger go into the air and go to the rescue."

This is the last air battle scene, the original director's editing is really exciting.

"Well..."

Diane was grasped by Ronald's nervous hand, woke up, and seeing how precious Ronald was, she happily kissed him on the face again.

"Huh? Is it dawn?" Ronald felt that last night's sleep was the best night in recent times, but it was a pity that he didn't watch the air combat scenes completely.

But it doesn't matter anymore, Pete Pettigrew came up with a few good maneuvers, combining his dreams with his thoughts, he should be able to achieve a similar effect.

He left Diane in the hotel to prepare for the audition, and went to the naval base by himself.

Looking at Tim Robbins, the actor who played the Lone Ranger's temporary radar officer, who is nearly two meters tall, no matter how he adjusts his body, the cockpit can't be closed.

Ronald sweated, "It's really not possible, let's shoot all his shots on the ground."

Fortunately, Cameron was asked to build the cockpit on the ground in advance, and there were often problems with aerial shooting.Robbins was too tall to sit in.And Barry Tubb's face was pale with fright, and there was no shot available.Not to mention there are people like Val Kilmer who dare not even board a plane.

"I will never make an airplane scene again," Ronald cursed.

Big machinery is very difficult to serve, and often has problems. It can be regarded as the second most difficult means of transportation in movies after trains.

Cameron's model has been approved by the producer, and the real shooting device is being debugged.A huge circular track was erected in a huge studio, and a front-end projection device was placed beside it.

The one-to-one simulation of the F-14A cockpit was mounted on a circular track, and with a slight push by hand, it swayed from side to side like a cradle on the track.

"Very well, both sides can be done at the same time, let Tim Robbins try it first."

Tim Robbins put on his flight suit and oxygen mask, and sat in the special effects cockpit, which was specially enlarged for him to accommodate his giant body.

"Let's take a test shot."

"Are you crazy? Lone Ranger, go back and help the Iceman!"

Robbins is a small actor, and he delivered the lines of the final air battle with a straight face.

"I don't feel right now, I can't enter the battlefield," Tom Cruise assisted him.

The front-end projector took the pictures of the blue sky and the sea in the air and took them to the screen behind the fake cockpit. Another small projector took the reflections of the cockpit on the F-14A Tomcat and reflected them on the glass of the fake cockpit cover. superior.

"Cut!"

"I want to try it too!" Cruise became interested, and sat in the fake cockpit to try the circular track.

"Just say something, I didn't prepare your play today." Ronald said, this time he was trying to test the effect of Cameron's toy.

"Ronald, you will also take the test for a jet pilot's license with me in the future, and we will fly together."

"Then you have to play well. Jet planes are expensive, and I rely on you to help me earn my money."

"Hahaha, bring me my orange juice."

Cruise took off his oxygen mask and took a sip.

"Tower, tower, please clear the scene." Cruise began to talk nonsense about his lines again.

"Cut", Ronald saw that the film of the small plate was almost finished, so he stopped immediately and sent it to be developed.

……

The fake cockpit on the ground works well, and Val Kilmer's scenes can also start shooting.Ronald handed over this part of the characters to the second photography team, let the director of the second team direct, and ran back to the Miramar Air Force Base by himself to grasp the actual part of the shooting.

This part is still the most realistic and shocking image. I boasted in front of Mancuso, the president of Paramount, that I want the audience to see unprecedented spectacle, relying on these scattered air combat shots, how to edit them into a reasonable story.

"Fine, let's keep this distance. I want a shot of the fighter behind me relatively still."

Ronald watched the filming from the ground, picked up the radio to give the order.

An F-14A flew towards the base from the sea. In the low-altitude and high-humidity environment, the vortex formed on the wings pulled out two very beautiful white clouds, enveloping the fighter.

"This shot is worth a million dollars. Good job." Ronald praised the stunt plane with the camera in front of him on the radio.

"Oklahoma..." Pettigrew, the consultant next to him, automatically answered.

"It looks good, everyone will think that this is a sonic cloud that breaks through the sound barrier."

Pettigrew shook his head, these Hollywood people want to look good in everything.

The real sonic cloud is a kind of cloud and fog produced when the plane breaks through the speed of sound, accompanied by a very loud blasting sound.

It's so fast that it's hard to get a good shot in the air.Director Ronald actually used the vortex that would be pulled up by the wings when flying at low speed over the sea in this high-humidity weather, but in the slow vortex, the clouds of water vapor condensed are really beautiful.

"This is an aerial scissors tactic. Five MiG-28s are chasing the two F-14As in front. The easiest way to catch them is for the Predators to do cross pursuits, just like a pair of big scissors, cutting towards Prey ahead."

Pett Pettigrew does a crossover with two fighter jet models.

"That way there's always an aircraft that can catch the weak spot in front of the prey, and we can lock on and fire."

"Very well, we will shoot according to this."

"Oklahoma moms and dads will love it, especially this cross scissors of multiple planes, looking back from the planes in front, it's like... how do you describe it, like you see four or five planes all It's like spinning around your ass, it's spectacular."

"Very well, it seems that Pete, you can find a job in Hollywood in the future."

"God bless, I'll be fine if I don't get scolded to death by my old colleagues."

At the back of an F-14A, a reconnaissance camera gun was installed, and then modified to add a movie camera and film box.

"I'm counting on you, remember to fly more smoothly." Pettigrew entrusted this mission to Bozo, who had the best flying skills.

"Remember to have a few rolls, the audience loves to watch that."

"Oh!" Pettigrew closed his eyes, what's the request?
The F-14A is a twin-engine heavy fighter. When rolling, the pointing stability of the nose is not as good as that of the single-engine F-5S. Rolling and stability are a great test for the pilot's skills.

"No problem, just look at mine."

Bozo knows that his days of flying fighter jets in the navy are numbered. In the future, he will not have the opportunity to play such tricks when he goes to fly passenger planes or even more boring cargo planes in civil aviation.He readily agreed.

"Bingo!"

Ronald and Pettigrew had nothing to say when they saw the film brought down by Bozo and the effect after printing. Bozo flew so beautifully, and the roll was very stable. With the distortion of the wide-angle lens, four or five frames " "Enemy Plane" spun around and chased after the F-14A Tomcat, a kind of temperament of a world-class hero rushed towards his face.

"Very good, very good, this is the spectacle that the audience wants to see." Ronald proudly thought that this kind of lens should be even more spectacular than the original version.

"Yo, let's stop here today. You can contact the Navy to see when the missile will be officially approved for launch."

Ronald was also thinking about the real shots of the two air-to-air missiles promised by the Navy.

Today, Cameron and Gail will hold a small wedding at the city hall, and only a few close friends of both parties will be invited.

Ronald rushed back to the hotel to attend with Diane.

"Congratulations!" Ronald was both a friend of the man and a friend of the woman. He hugged Cameron and Gail wearing a bridal veil in turn, and presented them with gifts.

"This is a delivery coupon for a Honda Accord. Gail needs to run a lot and needs a safer car." Ronald gave Gail a gift.

The couple gave up most of their income in "Terminator" in order to be able to become directors and producers.And the cost of the special effects device installed for "Top Gun" last time was still used to maintain daily expenses, so Ronald presented a cheap and safe Dongying car for their convenience.

"I don't have a gift?" Cameron came over and hugged Ronald.

"I'm here as the woman's representative, Jim. I'm also sitting on the bride's side at the dinner. Besides, Gail is the one who manages the money in your family." Ronald joked that the husband is the director and the wife is the director. The producer is the division of labor between the two.

"Congratulations," a man with a German accent, and another tall and beautiful girl also came to congratulate.

"Hello, Mr. Schwarzenegger." Ronald shook hands with him.

"Hello, Ronald. This is Bridget."

"This is Diane."

The two introduced their girlfriends to each other.

Brigitte Nielsen is a Danish model who stands a full six feet tall, a perfect match for Schwarzenegger, the Austrian bodybuilding champion.

The two of them met while filming "Queen's Excalibur" before, and they were fighting fiercely.

"Oh, you are really strong, stronger than what you see on TV." Diane couldn't help admiring when he saw the giant, "You are much stronger than Stallone."

"Oh," Schwarzenegger made a muscle-bright pose.

"Any enemy of Stallone is my friend." Schwarzenegger said bluntly, and now he and Stallone are the biggest competitors.

"Then we have a lot of common language." Ronald laughed, and his relationship with Stallone was not good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, by the authority vested in the State of California, in the witness of Mr. Roger Coleman, I declare that James Cameron, and Gail Anne Hurd, are married couple."

The weddings hosted by government officials were relatively simple, and Cameron and Gail became husband and wife immediately.

Ronald and Diane also picked up fireworks and launched them at them.

"In the end Gail's parents still didn't come." Ronald couldn't help but sigh, Gail felt that he would be very lonely.That's why Ronald wanted to come to the wedding and try to be as lively as possible.

"It's time for us to celebrate."

Ronald gave Bud a gesture, and he went to call the rented limousine, and the couple and guests were going to the restaurant for dinner. "

"Thank you," Gail came over and thanked Ronald specifically. Roger Coleman is like his father, and Ronald is like his younger brother. This kind of wedding can also make up for some regrets.

"Hold it." Ronald saw the opportunity and handed Cameron a modified motorcycle delivery coupon. It was the latest Harley motorcycle. The parts that were prone to problems were being replaced in the most famous local modification shop. Into a more durable Dongying goods.

Now many Harley enthusiasts are starting to do this. After all, Harley, which is often lying down, is beautiful, but it is very impractical.

"I just said, you won't forget my share."
