Huang Xuan joined in Yu Shi, why is Action 2 in the Red Sea worth looking forward to？

Special feature of 1905 film network Since the official announcement, it has attracted much attention.

In the past period, the director has filmed a series, as well. In every interview, director Lin Chaoxian said that the volume of Operation Red Sea 2: Operation Killer Whale (hereinafter referred to as "Operation Red Sea 2") will be larger than the previous work, or even three times larger. "When you go to the sea, you will go down to the bottom of the sea."

All this information makes the audience curious about the film, the volume upgrade, whether the main creation will return, what the story will be like, and when it will start.

Finally, in the past month, the film "Red Sea Action 2" was officially launched, and two things were officially announced — —

First of all, the film announced the first round of the starring lineup, namely, the new addition to the "Dragon Commando" and the original players and.

Secondly, Jiang Defu, CEO of Bona Film Group, revealed the shooting progress of "Red Sea Action 2", saying that the film has started in Shoot. "I hope to let everyone see a brand-new and higher-standard industrialized film on the basis of it."

All the information has made everyone’s expectations for "Red Sea Action 2" continue to increase, and at the same time left more curiosity. What new changes will "Red Sea Action 2" bring to the market?

The charm of Operation Red Sea series

Before talking about Operation Red Sea 2, let’s look back at the power of Operation Red Sea six years ago.

At that time, the pattern of Spring Festival stalls still emphasized the atmosphere of family fun, and comedy movies and magic special effects blockbusters still played the leading role. When Operation Red Sea, a military action blockbuster, booked the Spring Festival, it all shocked the audience. After all, the audience familiar with the director Lin Chaoxian’s style knew that the battlefield under his lens was only fierce.

As the "first person to eat crabs", Operation Red Sea didn’t get much favor at the beginning.

Even if the director’s previous work is quite recognized; In the cast, there were some hot topics at that time, but they were always flat in the pre-sale stage. Before it, it was IP sequel, and.

By virtue of its quality, the film "killed" the encirclement and fell all the way, and finally won the box office for several days in a row, successfully breaking the law that family fun movies are king in the Spring Festival. In the following years, films with multiple themes, such as series, TV series and TV series, entered the market one after another, and all of them were recognized by the market.

The value behind the Spring Festival stalls has been further sublimated, allowing more viewers to bring their relatives and friends into the cinema and enjoy a wonderful audio-visual feast.

In addition to the qualitative recognition in the market, many actors in the film are seen by more dimensions.

After Operation Red Sea, Hehe, who had been deeply involved in the small screen, gradually had more possibilities on the big screen; Du Jiang’s value in the film market is reflected; Jiang Luxia’s value as an action actress has also been discovered; Johnny and the combination of attention, the following year, "two".

Director Lin Chaoxian, as well as Jiang Luxia, Du Jiang and other actors, were all recognized or nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Film, Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Director and Hong Kong Film Awards in the following year.

Therefore, in many people’s minds, Operation Red Sea is already the "ceiling" of military action movies.

With the success of the previous work, the outside world is more curious about the impact of the "upgrade" of "Red Sea Action 2" on the market. Operation Red Sea’s response, more from the story itself, as well as realistic scenes, knife knife blood action drama, all reflect Lin Chaoxian’s super scheduling ability.

This also made Lin Chaoxian admit frankly that "Operation Red Sea 2 is under greater pressure", and there were four general ideas about the script going back and forth. Compared with the previous work, which focused on land warfare, Operation Red Sea 2 will add more things. "This time, it is a submarine force, which will go up to the sea and down to the seabed."

Underwater shooting is always a high difficulty factor for the current film industry.

Even in Hollywood, there is an unwritten rule to make movies and stay away from "water". Cameron constantly upgraded the underwater shooting technology for the series shooting, which also caused the film shooting cycle to be postponed. In the early years, the director also made a film on the spot in order to dive into the water. For this reason, the crew conducted intensive training from the director to the actor to learn diving, and finally filmed smoothly in the current.

In addition to the greater challenge of shooting difficulty, the addition of fresh power is bound to make the audience see more surprises.

With the change of the story scene, the "Dragon Commando" has also changed. As new members, Huang Xuan and Yu Shi are full of expectations.

Although Huang Xuan used to be an elegant literati, he contributed a lot to the action drama in the movies, and also let the audience see the possibilities of this actor beyond the literary drama.

As one of the most amazing new actors last year, Yu Shi has completed the transformation from childishness to maturity on the big screen. The content of the follow-up "Training Camp for the Gods" is to let the audience see the efforts behind the actor, and I believe that he will not easily "dismount" in the face of the "torture" of "devil director" Lin Chaoxian.

The next step of film industrialization

As early as the premiere of "Burst Point", director Lin Chaoxian shouted to Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Film, that the film was upgraded and the budget should be increased. Only in the face of the current film market, how to use the industrialized model and use the budget more efficiently is the key.

When talking about The Battle at Lake Changjin’s success, Yu Dong said that the significance of The Battle at Lake Changjin lies not only in pushing the industrialization specifications of China films to a new height, but also in being able to calmly face Hollywood’s big production and big investment. "This is the courage of China filmmakers, and it is also a great confidence in the China film market."

Now, Red Sea Action 2 has entered the Shoot link of the industrialized system.

In recent years, there have been frequent miracles in China blockbusters, especially since The Wandering Earth, and more concepts have been materialized. The director of "Trilogy of Gods" admitted frankly that during the filming, the team didn’t have a lot of industrialization experience, and the whole filming was "learning from overseas producers in the crew", and I hope it can continue in other crews in the future.

Coincidentally, it is to "carve" the film industrialization in the bones. In the process of making The Wandering Earth, he realized that he needed to sort out a set of production standard processes suitable for China characteristics — — Prior to this, industrialization only stayed in the concept of "human flesh industrialization", and the staff only relied on manual filling, and everyone could only work overtime.

In fact, I encountered a similar situation when I filmed Detective Chinatown 2.

Later, in 2020, Guo Fan put forward an updated viewpoint, virtual production. Before shooting the feature film, the sample film is shot in the way of pre-preview. The picture in this mode is close to the real shot, which can provide convenience for the real shot in the later stage.

Follow-up, directed, directed, and other films have continued this model, and in the application, they have continuously innovated the industrialized model.

In addition to the progress at the production level, post-production is also the same.

A Writer’s Odyssey, Wandering Earth 2, and other films have gradually realized that nearly 100% of the special effects are from China.

Yu Dong once said that the localization of special effects technology has been realized, and almost all post-production processes can be completed with the strength of domestic talents. "I remember that when filming The Battle at Lake Changjin, we dispatched more than 86 special effects companies to ensure the smooth completion of filming. This is a mature experience and promotion for us."

In the future, the process of film industrialization in China will continue. Whether it is Action 2 in the Red Sea or other films, only by making good use of this "weapon" on the road of industrialization can we really tell the story of China.
