110. Have more face than the president

At the end of May 1993, the crew of "Forrest Gump" came to the Philippines to film the plot of Forrest Gump participating in the Vietnam War.

In order to make the best filming of the Vietnam War, Tang Shu specially invited two military advisers, and one of them was a retired soldier who participated in the Vietnam War. Tang Shu hoped that under the guidance of these two military advisers, those who played guest roles in the American soldiers could make the roles of the supporting roles in a very good manner.

The assistant director had already found the shooting location in the Philippines for a long time. After Tang Shu and others arrived in the Philippines, they did not delay for a minute and went directly to the shooting location. When the staff were preparing, Tang Shu was wearing cool clothes and scanning the environment of the shooting location.

The dark and thin Filipinos are farming in the surrounding fields, driving buffaloes. They look like a busy farming scene. There are banana trees and palm trees in the distance. The faint mist fills the secret tropical rainforest, as if it is raining. The humid and hot air makes people feel upset. The deep dark and blurred jungle makes people feel inexplicably guilty.

There were rustling sounds from the surrounding shrubs from time to time. The small creatures in the rainforest were moving, and mosquitoes and poisonous snakes were frequent visitors to this area.

Tang Shu wiped his sweat. He absolutely did not like the environment of the tropical rainforest. Although it looked spectacular and wonderful, in fact, if you were born, you would definitely not feel good. According to legend, many creatures in such areas are poisonous! Surviving in the jungle is definitely not that simple. If you ask the American soldiers who participated in the Vietnam War, you will definitely get very affirmative approval.

Turning his head and looking at the camp, where two jungle survival experts specially invited by Tang Shu were explaining if they were preventing mosquito bites and other situations that needed to be paid attention to. Seeing these two jungle survival experts, Tang Shu's uneasiness faded a lot. I hope these two experts will be worth the money. Tang Shu doesn't want to leave some memories of this jungle on his body.

Looking through the script in my hand, filtering the plot in my heart, and after having a plan in my heart, Tang Shu inexplicably remembered the issue of the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was the longest war in the 20th century. It lasted for nearly thirty years from the mid-to-late 1940s to the mid-1970s. During this period, the Vietnamese army and patriotic armed forces defeated two powerful capitalist industrial powers with simple weapons.

That is, France and the United States compare the gap in national strength and technology between the three parties. This war can be said to be a miracle in the history of war. The Vietnamese's spirit of national sacrifice has shown the wonders in the history of war.

The United States and France suffered a defeat in the war, which made Tang Shu in his previous life feel very happy, but this does not mean that Tang Shu has any good feelings for Vietnam. Vietnam is also a country that is not familiar with wolves.

After the end of the Vietnam War, Vietnam forgot who helped them in the Vietnam War. Perhaps it had defeated two capitalist powers one after another, making the Vietnam War proud, and began to provoke China, which directly led to China's counterattack against Vietnam.

The words of the leader at that time can be used to describe the Sino-Vietnam War at that time. "It's time for children to be disobedient!" The Chinese army fought directly outside the capital of the Vietnam War and ended the war happily.

Based on the situation of the Vietnam War, we can draw a conclusion, that is, my Chinese are powerful!

The staff's preparations were completed, and Tang Shu did not delay and started shooting directly. After all, this place was really boring. The shooting location was far away from the city, and there was not even a decent town nearby, without telephones, newspapers, and televisions, and it was even more impossible to have an Internet connection, just like returning to a hundred years ago.

However, Tang Shu soon found a pastime. The plot of the Vietnam War in "Forrest Gump" involves helicopters, so Tang Shu started to learn to operate helicopters during the break. Although Tang Shu was old and couldn't even get a car driver's license, this is the Philippines. As the boss, Tang Shu spoke, so naturally no one objected. At most, he would just let Tang Shu be more careful.

In addition to learning to fly helicopters, Tang Shu often followed two specially hired jungle survival experts to cook some wild animals in the jungle and try out wild barbecue, so that life will be interesting.

There was also an interlude during the filming, which was delayed for two days. In the movie, Forrest Gump's platoon encountered an ambush, and there were heavy casualties. At this time, Forrest Gump's advantage of running fast was brought out and ran out safely. However, Forrest Gump thought that his comrades had not come out yet, so he returned to save people and saved many comrades.

The way Forrest Gump saves people is to hold his comrades and run towards a safe place. In reality, Hanks does not have Forrest Gump's physical fitness. He can still walk as fast as he holds big men. Therefore, when shooting these shots, they are hanging steel wires on the injured soldiers and connecting the brackets in the air. Hanks doesn't need much effort at all.

However, during the shooting, the steel wire suddenly broke. As a result, Hanks, who was not mentally prepared, was directly pressed to the ground by the big man who played his comrade in his arms, causing his arm bruises and rested for two days.

This episode also made Tang Shu be careful, criticizing the prop set, and also gaining lessons. Sometimes it is dangerous to shoot movies, so you must be careful, especially when using props, and check them carefully. Fortunately, this time it is not a big trouble.

There were not many scenes in the Vietnam War, and it did not take very long, which made Tang Shu breathe a sigh of relief. Although he found a pastime, the environment here was still too bad. Since his rebirth and reincarnation, Tang Shu has never suffered such a hardship.

When in Los Angeles, Tang Shu was so enjoyable about his life as a corrupt young master who was wearing capitalist skin. He was serving his maids, and in an international big city like Los Angeles, Tang Shu could easily do whatever he wanted, and also had Tang Shi's meticulous care, which made Tang Shu fall from the five-tale and four-beautiful little model in his previous life, almost the same as the landlord young master in the feudal era!

The rapid depravity and corruption of Tang Book really makes people sigh that this unscrupulous guy seems to have no revolutionary spirit...

Uh, speaking of it, maybe what makes Tang Shu feel uncomfortable is that there is no girl here in the Philippines. When this guy was in Los Angeles, in addition to Tang Shi and Elena being by his side, he also often had a flirt with the extremely obedient little wild cat Angelina, and Scarlett, a little loli, who could tease him. He would chat with Sophie Marceau and Maggieq about the phone and tease him ambiguously.

How comfortable it is to live like that, even talking on the phone is difficult at the filming location in the Philippines.

The plot of the Vietnam War did not play the role of Meg Ryan, who played the heroine, and she still had an advertisement to shoot during this period, so she did not come to the Philippines with the crew. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Tang Shu was depressed.

Well, maybe the God of the West really favors this dirty guy, Tang Shu?! When Tang Shu was depressed, he immediately sent a beautiful woman...

During the last two days of filming the Vietnam War scene, Meg, who had finished shooting the commercial, rushed over from the United States because the Vietnam War scene was also the last part of the film. After the filming of this scene was completed, it was officially completed, so Meg was preparing to celebrate with the crew.

Tang Shu, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic after seeing Meg arrive. Looking at Meg dressed in a cool dress, Tang Shu felt excited. This is the Philippines, 108,000 miles away from the United States. Here, why wouldn't Meg's husband come to visit the set?
