Directed by Ganlu and starring Han Dongjun, Xu Lu, Ding Ye and Dong Chunhui, the racing-themed TV series "Speed Youth" is in the hot shot, and the story of Lu Jie, a Chinese teenager who grew up in the United States, broke through the obstacle and bravely chased the dream of racing. A few days ago, the film handed over the "winter vacation homework", and Han Dongjun, who wears a racing suit and holds a helmet in the short film, is like a hot-blooded teenager who walked out of the comic, and he showed off his driving skills as soon as he appeared.
All kinds of drag racing scenes are cool and exciting, and Lu Jie's scene of running from the fire of the racing car explosion is also comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster. Not only is it a cinematic racing scene, but the character relationship between Lu Jie and the good buddies is also climactic and conflicting. Although it is only a short period of four minutes, this "winter vacation homework" combines stunts and blood, and is highly praised by netizens.
In fact, these shocking scenes revealed by the "winter vacation homework" are only the tip of the iceberg, which benefit from the fact that the film side invited the "very expensive and costly" Hong Kong "stunt master" Luo Lixian, crashing, exploding, overturning, falling off a cliff, burning people These stunt pictures are all filmed, and the excellent technical team and the arrogance of burning money make the stunts and pictures of "Fast Youth" comparable to "Mission Impossible 3" and "Transformers 4", full of sincerity.
Stunt master Luo Lixian touched the drama for the first time
The level of technology is comparable to that of Hollywood

The stunt action director of "Speed Youth" invited Luo Lixian this time, the famous director began to enter the industry in 1985, participated in countless blockbuster shooting in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, cooperated with Wu Yusen, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Yang Ziqiong and other circles of big winners, and participated in the world-class level of "Mission Impossible 3", "Transformers 4", "Raid 2" action guidance. With more than 30 years of stuntman and coaching experience, Luo Lixian's achievements are also listed in a long list of glories: he has directed the high-rise chase scene in "The Burning Heart of the Sun", the escape car chase scene of the hero and heroine in "One Step Away", and in "Plan B", he detonated 5 cars at the same time and flew into the sky, rotated 4 360 degrees and landed...
In the past few years, Luo Lixian has been active in the film field, this time the film party invited him to guide "Speed Youth", the stunt master who has been in the film field for decades was finally impressed by the ambition and sincerity of "Speed Youth", unexpectedly turned to TV series, Ciwen Film and Television is not at all costs to invite the master to join, in order to achieve impeccable visual effects, the film side is really fighting this time.
Luo Lixian, who touched the drama for the first time, is very confident about "Fast Youth", but at the same time, he is under great pressure. The amount of special effects required for the TV series is too large, and it is almost driven crazy by the drama side. Three months after the film is shot, the car scene may be more than twenty minutes, but the stunt car scene required for the TV series may be two hours. There are so many tricks in the short time of the movie, but this time shooting a TV series, it has been asked by the filmmakers to come up with new things and new tricks, and the pressure of Luo Lixian can be imagined.
In order to meet the high standards of the filmmakers, Luo Lixian not only used decades of professional knowledge to innovate, but also specially brought a lot of elite soldiers. The team he brought to "Speed Youth" this time is the most mature stunt team in the industry, with six or seven types of work in the twenty or thirty people, including logistics, car modification, driver, blasting, maintenance, etc., and everyone will have more than two skills. This not only improves overall efficiency, but also reduces costs.
"Black Technology" real shooting driving down a cliff
The car burned for two hours and could still drive
With the top masters sitting in the seat, the "Speed Youth" is full of confidence and lack of technology and experience, and the stunts such as crashing, exploding, overturning, falling off a cliff, and burning people are all filmed in real time. One of the scenes where the car flies off the cliff and the last one that flies out is popped up with similar equipment, which is bigger than a pickup truck, and when the car pops out, it looks like there are two bazookas in the back.
This scene has been filmed from the Spring Festival to the present, because it is completely live shooting, the whole scene is decomposed into multiple steps and actions to take apart and shoot: the part of driving, the part of crashing, the part of parking on the cliff, the part of flying out... In order to capture these difficult actions that are completed in an instant, Luo Lixian specially used high-precision instruments that can simulate the angle of a person driving and turn over
When you come down, where the first point will be, where the final landing point will be, you can calculate well, put the camera in the accurate position in advance, and any link must be perfectly coordinated.
There is also a scene where the roof of the car is on fire, which also shows the master's skill, Luo Lixian only let the car cover burst open, other places are intact, after the car is burned and exploded, it can continue to fire. The real shooting requirements for technology and precision are very harsh, "Speed Youth" after the crash overturning can be up to 360 degrees of 5 turns; vehicle explosion layered buried explosion point can be fried out of the sense of layering; after the crash vehicle scrapped people can be completely fine; people one meter away from the car are blown away, with Wea hoisting away, but also to ensure safety. These dazzling scenes are completely incomparable to computer synthesis stunts.
Most of the 200 million investments are burned to stunts
"Not bad money" for the effect film party
"Speed Youth" invested 200 million yuan, actors Han Dongjun, Xu Lu, Ding Ye, etc. are not considered sky-high actors, most of the money is burned to the special effects of real shooting, vehicles, props, explosions, crashes, overturns, cliffs... Everywhere you go, you have to spend money. On the set, there were six different types of arm-and-arm car, which was simply different in the shooting scene of domestic dramas. The car is equipped with a mechanical arm and camera equipment, one is a motorcycle with a car, one is a follow-up car on the highway, and the other is an off-road car, all tied to different lenses.
The most expensive follow-up car on the scene is a follow-up car with a "Russian arm", which can be close to high-speed vehicles. It is said that there are only eight "Russian arms" in China, because the Russian arm is too heavy, the old version is used to shoot advertisements, this time in order to shoot TV series, the crew remodeled the entire car system must be shock absorption system, tires, engines are all replaced, so that the car to achieve the speed of the car, and such a new model in the country currently only two.
The special effects of the movie "The Great Wall" are particularly eye-catching, the rich Zhang Yimou spent 100 million yuan, spent three weeks to shoot the special effects screen, this time Luo Lixian for the special effects of "Fast Youth" to spend three months, Luo Lixian confidently said that with the strong support of the film side, the stunt team used all the things that are in line with the world, in the equipment, talent and capital investment, "Speed Youth" has reached the film level, not to lose any of the top Hollywood blockbusters, when broadcast will definitely surprise the audience.
