Chapter 846 [24-hour War Frog Obstacle Competition]
In early August, all the scenes on the island were filmed.
The island mainly has literary dramas, and the shooting is relatively fast, and action scenes must be filmed on the set of Los Angeles.
The content of the movie is about a few people finding the other party’s secret base in the desert and fighting the final battle. The shooting will not be really in the desert, but the studio. They will wait until the end to go to the desert to take pictures, and take some shots to finish the film, and watch the post-production editing.
The crew rested for four days on holiday and waited for several important villains who had not shown up to join the group.
The weather is getting hotter and everyone is tired, especially the ordinary staff do not have such good physiques and poor accommodation treatment. They have suffered a lot of injuries on the island.
Producer Dave Reed continued to promote movies, photos and videos, and used basic techniques. He was not satisfied and felt that there was something missing.
At this time, Albert Swan, an outsider who was watching the filming, opened up his brains and made suggestions.
"Since it's a movie related to the military camp, why not participate in a special forces training? I think it will attract the media and it is a good gimmick."
"Good idea." Gabriel of the action technology team immediately said a project. "Participate in the 24-hour Frog Obstacle Competition, which is a training program for the US Navy SEALs. Outsiders can sign up to participate. There are many people who know. I have participated before, and the location is in Los Angeles."
Tatum smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we all want to go, just go the king, he will definitely be able to finish it."
Hemsworth also shook his head, and it sounded like a very fatal thing. He didn't have to do such a thing, right?
Black actor Chadwick Boseman immediately made a statement. "I'm willing to participate."
His eyes were firm. He was willing to use various methods to get out. If he could pass the test, more people would know him. At least, he proved that he was a hard-working actor.
Dave asked with a smile: "This activity is voluntary, no one will force you to participate. Gabriel, how difficult is it?"
"It's very difficult, but it's still OK to complete it just by completing it. The contestants' completion rate is about one-tenth." Gabriel replied.
The two leading actors looked at each other and understood each other's meaning and had the same idea.
Hemsworth said helplessly: "I'm willing to sign up."
Tatum continued, “I’ll go too.”
If two people participate and they don’t go and are exposed by the media, it may affect their future career. Even if they cannot complete it, they will still try it out.
Wang Jun raised his hand and said, "Why no one asked me if I would like to go?"
Swan smiled and said, "Do you still have to ask? No one asked you to participate in the triathlon. I know you will definitely like this."
Wang Jun nodded and smiled, "You are right, I do like it."
Swan and him haven't known each other for a long time and are already very good friends. They can talk about each other very well, and he is like a worm in Wang Jun's belly.
After briefly understanding the situation, the four of them immediately formed a group to register. The crew announced the news. As soon as the news came out, it attracted a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Some fans wanted to participate with celebrities, but after checking the information about the competition, they retreated.
This is a 24-hour extreme obstacle course designed by the US Navy SEALs. The purpose is to abuse the contestants in different ways. Most of them can only withdraw from the competition.
The content includes 58 kilometers of long-distance running, 8 kilometers of swimming and 25 obstacle crossings, which can be completed by less than one-tenth of people.
Wang Jun was under great pressure after seeing this. Those who could complete this project were superman. They must be determined, focused and physically strong. If a person who does not exercise regularly, it is dangerous to suddenly overdraw his physical strength like this.
The location of the exercise is in Los Angeles, so Swan realized that the attention was not high, mainly for triathlon and marathon enthusiasts.
As Wang Jun and others signed up, the number of participants in the new phase surged, reaching a record high of 1,143.
In addition to the four of them, Stephen Amel, who played the villain in the crew, also signed up. He has not officially joined the group and made a request. When the producer announced the participating actors, he also mentioned him to increase the exposure.
His wish came true. The Los Angeles Entertainment Media not only reported the news that the five of them participated in the competition, but also placed their photos, occupying the entire page.
"Four Hollywood actors and Wang Jun challenged the special forces training together to make good movies. They are too dedicated."
"The horrible training challenge, during the 24-hour competition, they can only take a nap between 2:00 and 6:00 a.m., and they are exercising at other times, hoping not to get tired."
"It's not surprising that Wang Jun participated. He is still the Iron Triple Record Holder of Alcatraz Island. Isn't it too risky for the others to go with him?"
The day before the game started, Los Angeles Sports Station conducted an exclusive interview with them.
"Wang, how did you think of participating in this kind of competition?"
"I like to challenge the limits. I have been to Alcatraz. I want to change my tricks this time. I'm making an action movie recently. I want to know what the real special forces will do, and it feels more like the performance."
The reporter asked: "Why are you so hard in the entertainment industry as a star?"
"I was a player during the season, and now I am an actor. This is work, and I have to work hard to do it well."
Tatum said: "I participated in it because I wanted to be a better actor. Wang Jun just worked so hard on part-time jobs. We can't fall behind him too far."
Hemsworth smiled and said, "We are not as good as Wang Jun's action scenes. He is an amazing man. I have learned some Chai Nizi Kung Fu from him recently. Although I was tired during this period, I was also very happy."
The reporter asked: "The contestants have all had systematic training. Do you have the confidence to complete the competition? Will it be too risky?"
Tatum said: "We have been practicing hard for more than a month, and the training in the movie is not just about scheduling. I am confident that I can complete this competition."
Amel and Boseman didn't talk much during the interview, so they were very happy to be able to appear on the camera, and both expressed their confidence in completing the training.
Five people participated in the Navy SEAL training and became the hottest topic on the Internet. Some people were waiting to see the results, and some people asked why Wang Jun didn’t ask James to play together?
The next day, everyone gathered in the morning, and the location was in the suburbs, with not many spectators, but the contestants encouraged each other. Several media sent reporters to follow Wang Jun, and even helicopters were dispatched to dig out scoops.
It doesn’t matter if the project is not popular. As long as big-name stars participate, there will be people paying attention. Just like Jordan plays baseball, there are live broadcasts in the low-level leagues, even if Jordan plays badly, there will still be people watching it.
At the beginning, it was an extra-long marathon, with cars leading the way ahead, and the event organizer arranged it, and the registration fee required to participate. The top few people don’t have much bonus, so you can earn it if you do this.
Before the run started, Wang Jun said to several people: "I am planning to compete for rankings. Don't follow me, your physical strength will be exhausted soon. This is not my arrogant, Thor, I don't know if you have heard from the captain that he ran a marathon with me."
"No, but we won't show off. If we can accomplish it, we will win." Hemsworth smiled.
The others nodded, they all knew that Wang Jun had won the Long-distance Run and the Iron Triple Championship.
The four of them all had a very relaxed expression, just like they were here to play. It is hard to say whether they could still show such expressions after half a day.
With a gunshot, the game began!
