"Operation Dragon" is undoubtedly the highlight of this conference. This film is a companion piece to " Operation Red Sea ", and the story focuses on the submarine force. On that day, director Lin Chaoxian appeared with a group of members of the "Dragon Commando", which can be said to be "strong troops and horses". Among them are new team members such as Huang Xuan, Yu Shi, and Han Dongjun, as well as "veterans" who have participated in "Operation Red Sea" such as Du Jiang, Jiang Luxia, Han Dongjun, and Li Chen.
Lin Chaoxian is known for his hard work and "devil" in filming. A large military-themed production like "Operation Dragon" is a huge test of the actor's physical strength and endurance. Jiang Luxia said with a smile: "The Red Sea eats dirt, the dragon fills water, Director Lin takes us to maintain health and skin care." "Recruit" Yu Shize revealed that he secretly worked hard in private, "hoping that every action can meet the director's standards."
"New team member" Huang Xuan Yu Shi made his debut, capturing the spirit of a soldier
Yu Shi, who became famous for his role as Ji Fa in the movie "Fengshen" last year, joined "Operation Dragon" this time to play the role of commando Han Xiao. After leaving the "Fengshen Camp" and entering the "Jiaolong Team", every filming experience for Yu Shi was harder than military training. But he obviously enjoyed it: on the day of the press conference, members of the "Dragon Commando" performed push-ups live, and he did it the most energetically.
Yu Shi said frankly that participating in "Operation Dragon" was a combination of entertainment and work: "I am very interested in the military. This is an opportunity to satisfy my interests through work. I feel very happy." This filming also Yu Shi’s dream of being a soldier was fulfilled: “We play the role of an elite unit of the navy. We have gone through a lot of training in the early stage to try to be as close to the appearance of real soldiers as possible. We train every day, which is actually to exercise our energy and spirit, so that we can reveal the soldiers in our bones. The temperament, even if he is not wearing a military uniform, he still looks like a soldier."
Lin Chaoxian is probably one of the directors who is best at shooting men's movies. From Nick Cheung to Eddie Peng, many actors have been "tortured" to create new looks. "Operation Dragon" is the first collaboration between Yu Shi and Lin Chaoxian. Without the director having to worry about it, he has consciously strengthened himself: "I am not afraid of hardship. We had a simple exchange. Director Lin is a very demanding director and also very pursuing." The ultimate picture. He definitely hopes that I can meet his standards in both character presentation and action scenes. I will work hard in private and see the results in front of the camera. I hope that every step will be approved by the director."
Huang Xuan this time. Plays the role of Meng Chuang, the captain of the "Jiaolong Commando". He described "Operation Dragon" as a "new look" for him: "Every day of shooting refreshes my physical fitness, skills, and performance methods." "Dragon Commando" had concentrated on special training one month before filming. "We trained from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting with running 5 kilometers every day. Other training included physical fitness, muscles, quality, diving, firearms, tactics, etc. ".
Lin Chaoxian: China should have its own submarine movie
"Operation Red Sea", released in 2018, earned a high box office of 3.652 billion yuan and became a successful example of a military-themed blockbuster. What new surprises will "Operation Dragon" bring to the audience after so many years? Lin Chaoxian affirmed at the press conference: "The equipment in "Operation Dragon" is definitely several times more advanced than that in "Operation Red Sea". The weapons in the film are all developed in the direction of future warfare." The "Belt and Equipment" released on the day of the press conference The "Team Departs" trailer shows multiple battle scenes of the Jiaolong Commando, as well as dazzling weapons and equipment within 50 seconds. Lin Chaoxian believes that China should have a submarine movie of its own: "General Manager Yu (Yu Dong) told me that he wanted to shoot "Operation Red Sea 2". I was a little scared because the first one was quite tiring to shoot. But I am driven by a sense of mission. I always feel that I should take pictures."
People say that Lin Chaoxian is the "devil director", but when encountering dangerous situations, he always rushes to the front. Yu Dong broke the news on the spot that there were some difficult scenes that the photographers were afraid of, so Lin Chaoxian went into battle himself. "There is a shot, He tied himself up upside down and went into the water to shoot. There was also a scene shot in the Moroccan desert. The director set up his own machine to shoot it, which was also a very dangerous scene. Yu Dong sighed half-jokingly: "Every time I see him (Lin Chaoxian), I think, if the budget is exceeded, then it will be exceeded." He is so desperate, what else can I do for him? I can only ask for more money from each partner. "

Huang Jiarong believes that Xue Baochai is a woman who was born in the wrong era and has a tragic color: "She is a little girl with a good personality and understands the world."
