Chapter 650 Completed
From the night when the drug dealer was caught, the crew strengthened security measures. The security company responsible for providing security services to the crew drew a group of personnel from Los Angeles to come here to enrich the security forces. The crew also conducted self-inspections. A series of facts proved that the only collusion with the drug dealer was the personal behavior of the handyman, and it had nothing to do with the rest of the crew.
In addition, the police also had a team stationed in the crew to provide protection for the crew to prevent drug dealers from appearing in revenge.
Everyone knows that Mexico's drug dealers are both bold and ruthless.
The crew filming was still going smoothly. Two days later, the scenes on the US-Mexico border entered the final stage, and the police suddenly announced explosive news.
The police dug up a lot of important information from the two drug dealers they caught that night. The next day, they joined forces with Mexico to destroy an important drug trafficking den.
These are not surprising. After all, drugs are seized every day on the US-Mexico border. What really makes people feel explosive is the way drug trafficking is.
The ways in which Mexican drug trafficking drugs cross the border are varied. These drug dealers dug an authentic tunnel that crossed the border from Tijuana. The entrance to the tunnel is near the air force in Tijuana, Mexico, and the exit is just north of the border wall not far from the crew's shooting location.
Although this tunnel can only accommodate two people passing side by side, it is also a huge project. Unfortunately, it was destroyed after only a few times of use.
Jack, the bearded man, left the crew to communicate with the police. Many people saw the incident that night, and it was definitely not confidential, so the crew was preparing to maximize their interests and hoped to jointly convene a press conference with the police.
All of these will take a while. Now the most important thing for the crew is to shoot action scenes such as racing.
In the wilderness not far from the crew's station, racing racing started again.
However, except for the driving actions taken during the post-production editing, the rest of the scenes were left to the stunt actors to complete.
Bang-Bang-Bang-
In front of the camera, gunshots kept ringing, and several cars were chasing a Mercedes-Benz e63amg, and people kept shooting at the car.
Suddenly, a motorcycle jumped out from behind the pile of soil. The rider on the car had a black helmet and black leather jacket, holding the handlebar with one hand and shooting with the other.
This is Gal Gadot's stand-in stuntman, showing the excellent shooting skills of a gun expert.
After each gunshot, drug dealers who fired the gun died as planned.
On the other side, Daniel Wu's stunt stand-in drove a Dodge out and hit a pickup truck, which immediately overturned.
"Ok!" Justin Lin's signature stop sounded through the loudspeaker, "This one passed."
This shot only takes a few seconds, but has been carefully designed in advance, and the completion of the stunt actors is also very high.
Justin Lin's voice sounded again, "Now transfer to film."
The crew left a small number of people to clean up the scene, and most of them moved to another nearby wasteland with a flat terrain to shoot. Matthew, Paul Walker, Gal Gadot, Daniel Wu, Benicio Del Toro and others had already practiced the moves and were waiting here.
When the director arrived with the filming crew and other departments, the filming began soon.
The first thing to shoot was the stunt scene. Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu took a gun and shot against the drug dealer, dragging most drug dealers, Matthew's stunt stand-in and Paul Walker's stunt stand-in drove directly to the villain.
“It feels so satisfying.”
Standing outside the set, watching the car racing, Paul Walker said enviously, "I should be allowed to take the filming myself."
Matthew shook his head, "The insurance company won't pass that level."
The two have completely different concepts of cars. In his eyes, cars are a tool for generations. No matter how luxurious or awesome the performance, they are still a tool.
But Paul Walker is true love for cars, thinks that cars are partners and friends, and has a kind of obsession with racing from the bottom of his heart.
"My hands were itchy," Paul Walker said again.
“There are many ways to experience speed and passion,” Matthew reminded again, “It doesn’t have to be a very dangerous racing.”
Paul Walker smiled and said nothing.
The filming of the stunt scenes soon ended, and another scene of Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu fighting drug dealers with guns. Matthew and Paul Walker entered the set to prepare for the remaining scenes.
"Fast and Furious 4..." The assistant director put the record in front of the camera lens, "Scene 122, Scene 11, now begins!"
The sound of the board sounded, and the crew immediately entered the shooting state.
The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened, Matthew got off from above, looked at Benicio del Toro who had hit and killed, found Paul Walker's place, ran over, helped the injured Paul Walker up from the ground, let him sit in a car, and checked his injuries.
"It's okay!" Paul Walker covered his lower abdomen, "I can't die!"
Matthew looked at it and confirmed that the injury was not too serious, and said, "Suppress it! Don't bleed too much! You'll be fine!"
"I'll ask you something." Paul Walker pressed his lower abdomen with one hand and wiped the blood from his face with the other. "Last time in the car, if you didn't cheat, I would have won, right?"
Matthew was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You're hitting your head very hard."
Paul Walker couldn't help laughing, and then frowned in pain, "Don't make me laugh, it hurts!"
With his fingers stretched out, Matthew stood up, walked to the other side of the front of the car, grabbed the dead Benicio del Toro, and threw him on the front of the car like a chicken.
"Braga!" He stared at Benicio del Toro. "You killed Dominic Toreto. He is my friend and my opponent. I didn't want to kill you, but you want to kill another friend of mine..."
Gal Gadot and Daniel Wu ran over with guns.
Matthew looked at the two men, and Daniel Wu nodded to him without saying anything.
"The drug dealers have returned to Mexico." Gal Gadot put away his pistol and glanced at Paul Walker.
"Why are you here?" Matthew asked.
Gal Gadot replied, "I said I want to see you come back alive." She emphasized, "My motorcycle is ruined, you have to compensate me one."
"No problem." Matthew gave Gal Gadot a long kiss according to the designed scene.
Paul Walker shouted, "You should leave! The police will be here soon! Sean, if you kill Braga, the police will not let you go."
Matthew let go of Gal Gadot and looked at Daniel Wu, "Let's go!"
He said to Paul Walker again, "I did everything, and it was pushed onto my head. If the police give you unfair treatment, I will come back to settle the score with them!"
On the other side of the director, Justin Lin stood up and said loudly, "OK! This one has passed!"
He then announced, "The filming of "Fast and Furious 4" is complete!"
Hearing this, the crew heard a cheer, which also meant that more than half a month of outdoor life could be over and could return to the bustling Los Angeles to enjoy.
Matthew reached out and pulled Paul Walker up from the ground, hugged him hard, and said, "This is an unforgettable collaboration."
He hugged Gal Gadot again, "It's a blessing to work with you."
Then, he turned to the other side of the car and hugged Daniel Wu for a moment, "I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."
Later, Matthew celebrated with Benicio Del Toro, Justin Lin and others one by one.
While the crew celebrated the completion of the filming, David Ellison accompanied the reporter of "The Hollywood Reporter" to the set, and there was another interview next.
When Matthew saw David Ellison, he looked over and said, "Are you willing to come to the crew to see?"
David Ellison said with a smile, "I feel very relieved to have you here." He lowered his voice, "There is no way, the trend of the financial crisis has become more and more obvious recently, and I have encountered some problems here that need to be dealt with."
"Is it okay?" Matthew said with concern, "I need help saying hello to me."
"I won't be polite to you." David Ellison said nothing.
The two said a few words, and the main cast members of the crew came here and prepared to be interviewed in order to warm up the film's promotion.
The first person to be interviewed was Matthew, who is also the person who has attracted the most attention from the entire crew.
"This is a movie that fascinates me. It doesn't have many thrilling action fights like my past works. On the contrary, my action scenes in this movie are the least difficult, and the most dangerous ones are the scenes I sit still and don't move - in the driver's seat that is speeding at high speed."
Facing the reporter's microphone and camera, Matthew talked freely, "Many racing scenes in "Fast and Furious 4" are played by the actors themselves. When it was filmed, it was like the audience saw it. It was indeed full of various unknown dangers. Before each shooting, the entire production team had to carefully evaluate the various risk indexes that might be encountered. This meticulous work attitude touched me, so I mean, it doesn't matter if I sacrificed it!"
Paul Walker was also interviewed.
He said, "It's very exciting to work with Matthew. I've been waiting for the new "Fast and Furious". I really like to continue the character and story of Brian O'Connor because I think "Fast and Furious" is a movie full of characters with their own souls. The story is not finished. The audience who watch the first two movies will feel unsatisfactory, but I think if the audience finishes the latest episode, they will be as excited as me, and we will bring them an unprecedented sense of rushing."
