Chapter 432 Filming of "Ford v Ferrari 7" (1/2)



In the story, the female lead is kidnapped by the villain, and the male lead ultimately chooses to give up participating in the competition to rescue his wife and daughter, and fights the villains inside the castle.

It was at this moment that the supporting character Shan Cheng suddenly turned against the female lead and rescued her on a motorcycle.

They ran around the castle, leaving their pursuers far behind. In the end, Shan Cheng gave the motorcycle to the female lead and escaped through the back door of the castle. He and another of the male lead's good brothers returned to the castle and joined the male lead at the top of the castle to fight against the villains together.

In this storyline, there are two places that terrify Liu Rulan the most.

One is a fight on the top of the castle, and the other is riding a bicycle inside the castle.

Needless to say, the former is risking its life with just a rope, making people's hearts race just watching it; the latter is no better.

Although the motorcycle route in this scene was planned in advance, and many places were props, and they wouldn't actually drive around recklessly, there was one scene where they actually drove the motorcycle from the second floor of the lobby down to the first floor in one go, scraping off the surrounding props along the way, and shaking off all the gangsters chasing them.

In other words, director Tannis planned to film the entire sequence in one continuous take.

This means that Xiao He really has to drive a motorcycle down the stairs of a priceless antique castle, with the wealthy young actress Li Ya following behind, and complete the filming with the help of a large number of extras.

The thought of something going wrong and knocking over things that shouldn't be bumped into made Liu Rulan want to close her eyes.

Having lived here recently, Liu Rulan knows very well how many things in this castle are genuine, and many of them are not just decorations inside the building, but also the building itself, such as this staircase, and even this staircase handrail, which have extremely high maintenance costs.

The motorcycle looked light, but it was actually heavy. If Liu Rulan placed it on the stairs of such an old castle, she seriously suspected that even a slight bump would cause great damage to the stairs.

Who will pay for this? The production crew will definitely pay, but what if Xiao He accidentally crashes his car into the stair railing or the wall next to it during filming? Who will pay for the repairs then?

Where is my insurance company?

I need to review the contract again in detail.

So on this day, before filming the scene of riding motorcycles inside the castle, Liu Rulan had a very serious discussion with Jemmis again to confirm the situation.

Although Xiao He didn't think he would make a mistake, he wouldn't say anything to refute her when working with Sister Liu.

It's not surprising that Liu Rulan is cautious. There have been countless lawsuits between actors and production crews later on. If the situation isn't clearly defined in advance, and disputes arise later, it will only make things difficult for everyone.

Moreover, it's a major international production team.

Fortunately, the production crew was very cooperative and treated Xiao He with great care. After talking with Liu Rulan, they signed a new contract, and finally, they were able to start filming with peace of mind.

Xiao He changed his clothes and stood at the end of the corridor waiting for the other crew members to make adjustments.

According to the logic of the original plot, they rode motorcycles from the open-air balcony on the other side, crashed through the corridor glass, landed steadily in the spacious corridor on this side, dodged other gang members in the corridor, turned the corner of the corridor, and sped down the central staircase to the ground floor.

The window glass, clearly of considerable value, was obviously not meant to be shattered. The glass rubble had already been set up, and the motorcycle was securely wedged onto a makeshift ramp track. One end of the track faced out of the window, and the other end faced into the corridor, mimicking the motorcycle's "flying" into the corridor in a diving motion, facilitating plot transitions after camera shots.

Xiao He was wearing a black bodysuit with a collar and a bulletproof tactical vest, paired with tactical work pants and high-top motorcycle boots that would never go wrong. His hair was not cut much, but styled in the Mohawk style that is very popular abroad, which was very different from his style in China, and could be considered a breakthrough in his appearance.
