Justin long justin long This is a special convention created by the series Die Hard Rowen Rowen: john maclean is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then he is forced to get involved in a series of troubles. July 4th. I don't know what year it is. It happened to be the weekend. John mclean, a policeman from new york, was on vacation, but before he could say goodbye to his daughter Lucy, who had already gone to college, he was called away by the phone from the headquarters. He received a task: arrest the hacker Matt Falar and send him to the FBI for trial ... This is an ordinary case, but don't forget John's naturally troublesome constitution. When John first arrived at Matt's apartment, it was as if he had touched some organ, and all kinds of chaos followed.

With Matt's help, John's not-so-clever head finally began to understand why it was around him.

I've been through so much. It turns out that an attack force that comes out of nowhere is eroding the American computer system. Once it succeeds, the whole country will fall into a terrible stagnation. Of course, there must be a mysterious person behind this plan, but the FBI can't determine the specific location of this mysterious person.

Thomas Gabriel is behind this mess. He prepared many institutional obstacles for John, including kidnapping his daughter Lucy. There is only one purpose, that is, to keep the police out of his shocking plan. When it comes to computers and networks, they are the death of John. Although not ignorant, it is close. Fortunately, although he rolled and crawled all the way, John did not forget his task and firmly took Matt with him, so this young hacker boy became the most effective helper around John this time.

Bruce Willis plays a grumpy new york policeman, just like an old acquaintance you haven't thought of for a long time ... He may be old and bald, and his taste in clothes has declined, but he can still bring you infinite surprises. -"Movie Salon"

Real action scenes in movies are more exciting and real than those made by computers. -"Rolling Stone"

This movie may not be as good as the first episode, but it's almost the same. -Toronto Star

After shooting four stories, john mclean's Immortality is more like a joke. In fact, he is a superhero in disguise. Otherwise, how could he survive being run over by five cars? -Philadelphia Daily News

Really can't die?

"For the rest of my life, I just need to shoot Die Hard Rowen Rowen from time to time-believe me, this role is easy for me to play. This series alone can maintain my good life now ... For a long time, I have been interested in making a Bruce Willis-style standard action movie. It can be said that I am tired of it, and I believe that the audience has the same feelings as me. " -This is what Bruce Willis said in 2003, which is absolutely pertinent. Revealing one's full confidence in one's future is also a blatant provocation to the established destiny, which reflects the speaker's natural integrity ... However, less than a year later, Willis' seemingly casual sentence "I am willing to take Free Life or Die Hard Rowen" turned all this into a pile of shit.

Although you saw the signs in 2004, the film finally started shooting in September, and the name "john maclean" is still an absolute golden signboard. During this period, the director ran around and experienced some twists and turns, and a series of true and false names appeared: Franco Slie, antoine fuqua, luc besson ... but all these names together are not like john mctiernan, the director of the first and third episodes of Die Hard Rowen Rowen series. But this old man is so disappointing. In April this year, the FBI asked him to investigate a case of eavesdropping by private detectives in Hollywood. Therefore, McTiernan has been formally accused of perjury, and imprisonment is inevitable ... so the director's position finally falls on Ryan Wiseman, who is relatively inexperienced. He is only 34 years old and married kate beckinsale, a Hollywood beauty. His only work is the legend of two nights.

Then, the rumors of movie subtitles were flying all over the sky: Men in War, 4.0, Restart ... all cleared the way for "living for freedom". This title comes from a famous saying in the government hall of New Hampshire, USA-if you have been to the set of Live Free or Die Hard Rowen, you will know that this title is simply a wishful monopoly of the film company, because of the pendulum. It is an eternal truth that the boss who takes the money is the boss, but it is precisely because of the backing of a big boss like 20th century Fox that Allen Wieseman was able to delete the already filmed flood scene without blinking an eye when the hurricane was in close contact with New Orleans.

The wrong time was in the wrong place.

As we all know, "Die Hard Rowen Rowen" series has been flaunting itself as a "fist to flesh" action movie, refusing to use CG stunts popular in Hollywood now. Coupled with John McClane's sarcastic remarks, it has become an enduring banner in the field of action movies and one of the strongest and cutest heroes in modern pop culture.

The "realism" followed by the film coincides with Bruce Willis's idea, and he seems to have predicted that he will regain john maclean, the iconic role that redefines Hollywood action hero, sooner or later. He said, "What excites me most here is that John is not a superhero. He has no special strength and ability, just an ordinary policeman who can be seen everywhere in the street. Although we have made a lot of efforts in action scenes to make this story more exciting from episode to episode, in my opinion, what really attracts the audience in this series of movies is John's trouble-making ability and his unique sense of humor. "Live Free" or "Die Hard Rowen" has been a hot topic for many years, but it makes sense to make this film only when John has two most important qualities: John really loves his family and country, but he hates those shameless people who attack the weak. Although it has always existed, John's character may become particularly prominent in the fourth episode. "

Bruce Willis also thinks that movies are a process of promotion for him: "I was born a gambler, so I would like to believe that we can continue to write a great story in Live Free or Die Hard Rowen, and I hope it will be as good as the first episode." Mark Bomback is the main author of this play, and this story is co-written by him and David Marconi. Generally speaking, this time it was Thomas and his girlfriend May, two terrorists who used computers to do things. They are all agents of the U.S. government and plan to paralyze the United States by destroying the computer system of the whole country.

Although this play aroused great interest of Bruce Willis, he still had some reservations. It was not until director Lun Wieseman decided to direct the film that he put on a T-shirt representing justice again. Willis has seen the latest work "Legend of the Night 2: Evolution" directed by Wiseman, and he was deeply impressed by the special visual shock in the film: "I was completely fascinated. I think Wieseman can bring fresh elements, so that "Free Life" or "Die Hard Rowen" can be done, and he really did it. "

Aaron Wieseman's ability to direct Free Life or Die Hard Rowen is regarded as the fulfillment of a prophecy: when he was a high school student, he and some friends made a "movie" inspired by Rowen Die Hard Rowen. Wieseman recalled himself at that time: "I love this series of movies, but what interests me most is john mclean's flawed personality. He is an ordinary person and will always be pushed to a dangerous situation. He is very unhappy about this, but there is nothing he can do. " Wiseman combined characters and stories to become Free Life or Die Hard Rowen. The most important thing for him is how to truly restore john mclean. On this basis, Wieseman, Bruce Willis and Mark Bomback made some additional additions to this role. Wieseman said: "John began to face new challenges, and I want to take this role to another level: how will he react when his daughter's life is threatened?"? What influence will family and love bring to him? For John, this may be the ultimate task, because as an old-school policeman, he must face the latest technical problems. "

Bruce Willis also understands that the story of the new episode must not ignore the passage of time: "We can't assume that john maclean is still the same person in the first episode. Obviously, he is old. His daughter Lucy, the little girl in the first episode, is now a college student, and John is inevitably more cynical. Most importantly, John never regarded himself as a hero. "

Clean up the mess on the set

To the south of Hollywood, there is a huge well-ventilated warehouse in San Pedro, about 40 kilometers away. This is the 26th scene of Live Free or Die Hard Rowen. The film crew will shoot here for half a month and appear in the film for about 10 minutes ... It is set as the secret base of terrorists Thomas and May, filled with computer monitors, dozens of guns and ammunition, loyal followers and a car.

Next to the monitor of the TV, there is a leprechaun toy, which is a Christmas gift from Aaron Wieseman's wife kate beckinsale. It has a built-in recording device, which can record some short words and play them out with the voice of the demon. Wiseman secretly recorded a sentence that Bruce Willis often said on the set. Just press the button under the devil's feet, and he will cry out in protest: "Wiseman, let's do it again." Just listening to this tone can tell how "no position" Wiseman has in front of Willis, who is 18 years older than himself, but this is exactly what he wants-to create an open-minded and happy environment on the set. Indeed, most American men of Wiseman's age grew up with the loneliness of john maclean. He knows every Taiwanese sentence and every scene in the movie ... so when Wieseman first saw the script, there were almost 30 pages describing such a scene: John walked into the FBI building and said, "Look, what can I do for you?" He said at the time, "This is not john maclean. The real john mclean doesn't want to stay here. He is not a hero who is willing to save others, but he always becomes the only one who can do it. "

It's bragging to say that Aaron wiesmann has no pressure. After all, the series Die Hard Rowen Rowen has reached an unparalleled height in the field of action movies. Moreover, john maclean has "rested" for 12 years since he finished his task last time. During this period, most viewers were brainwashed by new action idols like ethan hawke or jason bourne. If they want to accept john maclean again, who will buy it unless they make some real efforts? For Wieseman, this is a long and difficult process. Fortunately, he has a lot of money to spend. As long as the money is well spent and the stories and characters are accurately positioned, it is not impossible to "regenerate" the classics.

Hot action scenes exposed in advance

Scene 1: A car flies from the air to john maclean and Matt Falaer. They only had a few seconds to escape before it hit a moving car and bounced off them.

Scene 2: John's police car flies like a missile to a helicopter in the air.

Scene 3: John and Thomas Gabriel's girlfriend, computer hacker Mei, broke out in a rickety car that plunged vertically into the elevator, including a straight fist and a kick.

Scene 4: Another computer hacker under Thomas, Rand, played by the famous French action star Siri Raffaeli, passes through a building and lands on the external exhaust port of an air conditioner. Then he jumped into the fire escape, went down the rope to another fire escape, and then ran to the third fire escape as usual ... these were not taken by NG at one go.

Scene 5: In a car chase scene on an expressway, an F-35 plane first chased after it, then started a firefight, and finally destroyed a huge trailer driven by john maclean. Earlier, Living Free or Die Hard Rowen also used the subtitle "Tears of the Sun". This rumor originated from Bruce Willis, because he once said, "As long as the title of the fourth episode is Tears of the Sun, which I shot in 2003, I will unconditionally take over this film."

The title of this French film has been translated into Living Free or Die Hard Rowen: Back to Hell.

Jessica simpson auditioned for the role of Lucy, john mclean's daughter, but her temperament obviously didn't meet the director Ryan Wiseman's vision of this role.

Larry Rippenkroeger, Bruce Willis's stuntman, accidentally fell 25 feet while filming. The injury is very serious. His face was broken and his wrist was broken, so the filming had to stop. Willis not only paid the hotel fee for his parents who came to visit Rebin Roig, but also went to the hospital to accompany him many times. At that time, Rebecca Roig was still making body double for james caan in TV series. When he heard the news of his injury, Kane came from Las Vegas and stayed in the hospital for nearly two hours. After Kane left, Rebecca Rogge told her parents that his wound was cracked with laughter because Kane told him a very funny joke. ...

Justin Ting Pollack auditioned for the role of john maclean's son.

Bruce Willis's lines in the trailer: "All you have to do is pick up a child from New Jersey and send him to DC. What are the difficulties? " It is a tribute to "Bravery 16 Block" starring Willis.
