◎Introduction

This is a convention specially created by the "Die Hard" series: John Michael Lane is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, and is forced into a series of troubles.

I don’t know which year it was on July 4th, which happened to be a weekend. Although New York police officer John McClain was on vacation, before he could say goodbye to his daughter Lucy, who was already in college, he received a call from the headquarters. After being called away, he received a mission: arrest the hacker Matt Farrell, and then send him to the FBI for interrogation... This is an ordinary case no matter how you look at it, but don't forget that John is born to attract trouble. physique. John had just arrived at Matt's apartment, and as if something had been triggered, all kinds of chaos ensued.

With Matt's help, John's unclear mind finally began to understand why so many things happened around him. It turns out that an unknown attack force coming from somewhere is eroding the computer system of the United States. Once successful, the entire country will fall into a terrible state of standstill. Of course, there must be a mysterious figure behind this plan, but the FBI is unable to determine the specific location of this mysterious figure.

The mastermind behind this chaos is Thomas Gabriel, who has prepared a lot of obstacles for John, including kidnapping his daughter Lucy. There is only one purpose, which is to prevent the police from intervening in the shocking plan he planned. When it comes to computers and the Internet, they are all John's Achilles' heel. Although he is not completely ignorant, he is still close to them. Fortunately, although he was climbing all the way, John did not forget his mission and kept Matt firmly by his side. Therefore, this young hacker became John's most capable helper this time.

Behind the scenes production:

Is it really impossible to die?

"For the rest of my life, I just have to do a Die Hard movie every now and then - and believe me, this is a very easy role for me to play. Just that." One series and I can maintain my current good living... For a long time, I have had little interest in making a standard Bruce Willis-style action movie. It's safe to say that I am tired of it. Trust the audience I feel the same way." - This is what Bruce Willis said in 2003. It is absolutely on target. It reveals full confidence in his future and is also a blatant provocation to the established destiny. It reflects the speaker's natural righteousness... However, less than a year later, Willis' seemingly casual words, "I would very much like to take on the role of "Die Hard 4", made everything come to an end. Turned into a pile of shit.

Although you could see the signs in 2004, the film finally officially started shooting in September last year. The name "John McClane" is still an absolute gold brand, and during this period the director was in trouble. Zhuanzhuan has gone through some twists and turns, and a series of real and fake names have appeared: Francro Sli, Antoine Fuqua, Luc Besson... But these names together are not as good as " The appearance of John McTiernan, the director of the first and third episodes of the "Die Hard" series, is refreshing. Unfortunately, this old man is so unsatisfactory. In April last year, the FBI asked him to investigate a case involving wiretapping by a Hollywood private detective. As a result, McTiernan had been formally prosecuted for giving false testimony, and it was inevitable that he would be jailed... so the director The position ultimately fell to Len Weissman, who had relatively little experience. He was only 34 years old, married to Hollywood beauty Kate Beckinsale, and his only works were two "Underworld" films.

Following this, rumors about the film's subtitles spread: "Men at War", "4.0", "Reboot"... In the end, they all cleared up for "Living for Freedom" The title comes from a famous saying in the New Hampshire government hall in the United States - if you have been to the set of "Die Hard 4", you will know that this title is simply a wishful monopoly behavior of the film company, because it is placed in front of the monitor The "Restart" logo has been stuck on the back of the director's chair. The one who takes the money is the boss. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times. However, it is precisely because of the support of big bosses like 20th Century Fox. In view of New Orleans being closely contacted by the hurricane, Len Weissman can The scene of the flood that had already been filmed was deleted without blinking an eye.

Wrong place at the wrong time

As we all know, the "Die Hard" series has always flaunted itself with "punch-to-flesh" practical action scenes. The refusal to use it has now become The CG stunts that have become commonplace in Hollywood, coupled with John McClane's sarcastic words, have become an unshakable banner in the field of action movies and one of the strongest and most lovable heroes in modern pop culture.

It just so happens that the "practicalism" followed by the film also coincides with Bruce Willis's ideas, and he seems to have expected that sooner or later he would regain John McClane, a man who once again The iconic character who defined the Hollywood action hero, he said: "What excites me most here is that John is not a superhero. He has no special powers or abilities. He is just an ordinary police officer who can be seen on the street. Although We have also put a lot of effort into the action scenes to make this story more exciting each episode, but in my opinion, what really attracts the audience in this series is John's ability to attract trouble and his unique personality. A sense of humor. Die Hard 4 has been a topic of conversation for years, but it only made sense if John possessed two of the most important qualities: John really loved his Family and country, but he hates the kind of shameless people who prey on the weak. Although it has always existed, in the fourth episode, John's character may become particularly prominent."

Bruce· Willis also believes that the film is also an improvement process for him: "I am a gambler by nature, so I want to believe that we can continue to write a great story in "Die Hard 4". Hopefully it will be as good as the first episode." Mark Bomback is the main writer of the script, and the story is co-created by him and David Marconi. , the rough story is: This time, the people who caused trouble for John McClane were two terrorists who were accustomed to using computers to cause trouble, Thomas and his girlfriend May. They were both agents of the US government and planned to destroy the entire country through computer systems to paralyze America.

Although this script aroused great interest from Bruce Willis, he still had reservations. It was not until director Len Weisman confirmed to direct the film that he felt comfortable wearing the suit that represents justice again. T-shirt. Willis has already watched Weisman's latest film "Underworld 2: Evolution" and was impressed by the special visual power of the film: "I was completely attracted. I think Weisman can "Bringing fresh elements to "Die Hard 4", and he really did it"

Len Weisman regarded being the director of "Die Hard 4" as a success. A prophecy fulfilled: When he was a high school student, he and a few friends made a "Die Hard"-inspired "movie." Weisman recalled himself at that time: "I loved this series of movies, but what interested me the most was the flawed personality of John McClane, an ordinary guy who was always pushed into dangerous situations. Man, he was not happy about it, but there was nothing he could do about it." Weisman integrated the characters and the story into "Die Hard 4". The most important thing for him is how to be real. Restore John McClane. On this basis, Weisman, Bruce Willis, and Mark Bomback also made some additional additions to this role. Weisman said: "John began to face new challenges, and I also wanted to This character is taken to another level: How will he react when his daughter's life is threatened? What impact will family and love have on him? For John, this may be the ultimate mission, because being an old school As a police officer, he has to face the problems of the latest technology.

"

Bruce Willis also understands that the story of the new episode must not ignore the passage of time: "We cannot assume that John McClane is still the same person as the one in the first episode. Obviously As he ages, his daughter Lucy, the little girl from the first film, is now a college student, and John inevitably becomes more cynical. The most important thing is that John never saw himself as a hero. ”

Picking up items on the set

About 40 kilometers south of Hollywood, there is a huge, well-ventilated warehouse in San Pedro, which is the location of the filming location for "Die Hard 4". The crew will shoot 26 scenes here for half a month, and it will appear in the film for about 10 minutes... This place is set up as a secret base for the terrorists Thomas and May, full of computer surveillance weapons, dozens of firearms and ammunition, loyal followers, and a huge truck whose interior has been transformed into Thomas's mobile command center.

A stick is attached to the monitor on the set. The little leprechaun toy, which was a Christmas gift from Len Weisman's wife Kate Beckinsale, has a built-in recording device that can record some short words and play them back with the leprechaun's voice. One of Bruce Willis' most common words on the set was secretly recorded. As long as you press the button at the leprechaun's feet, it will scream in protest: "Weissman, let's do it again." "Just hearing this tone, you can tell how "no status" Weisman has in front of Willis, who is 18 years older than him, but this is exactly what he wants - to create an open-minded and happy environment on the set. . Indeed, most American men of Weisman's age grew up with John McClane's lonely temperament. He knows every Taiwanese sentence and every scene in the film... So in Weisman's first When I saw the script once, about 30 pages in, there was a scene described: John walked into the FBI building and said, "Look, is there anything I can do to help? He said at the time: "This is not John McClane. The real John McClane does not 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." "

To say that Len Weisman has no pressure is to brag. After all, the "Die Hard" series has reached a height that no one can match in the field of action movies. And it is far from the last time After completing the mission, John McClane "rested" for 12 years. During this time, most of the audience has been brainwashed by new action idols like Ethan Hawke or Jason Bourne, trying to make them accept John again. ·McLean, if you don’t put in some real effort, who will buy it? It’s a long and arduous process for Weisman. Fortunately, he has a lot of funds in his hands to spend, as long as the money is spent properly. , coupled with the accurate positioning of the story and characters, it is not impossible to "rebirth" the classic.

Early exposure of hot action scenes

Scene 1: A car emerges from the scene. The ball flew towards John McClane and Matt Farrell, who had just seconds to escape before it hit the moving car and bounced back onto them.

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

Scene 3: A fight breaks out between John and Thomas Gabriel's girlfriend, computer hacker May. A brutal close-quarters hand-to-hand battle, the ground is full of people, the ground is full of people, the ground is full of people, the ground is full of people, and the ground is full of people.

Scene 4: Thomas's men Another computer hacker, Rand - played by the famous French action star Cyril Raffaelli - crosses a building and lands on the external exhaust of an air conditioner, then he jumps towards He climbed the fire escape, followed the rope down to another fire escape, and then ran to the third fire escape in the same way... These were all shot in one go without NG. No one has dared to try this in previous films. .

Scene 5: In a car chase scene on the highway, a Harrier aircraft first chased and then started a fight, eventually destroying a huge trailer driven by John McClane. .

Highlights:

·Earlier, "Die Hard 4" also used the subtitle "Tears of the Sun". The source of this rumor was Bruce Willis. Si, because he once said this: "As long as the title of the fourth episode of the film uses "Tears of the Sun" that I filmed in 2003, I will accept the film unconditionally."

·French version The title of the film has been translated as "Die Hard 4: Back to Hell".

It was so serious that the bones in his face were broken and both wrists were fractured, so the filming had to be stopped. Willis not only paid for the hotel room for Ribbenkreiger's parents who came to visit him, but also went to the hospital in person to accompany him many times. At that time, Ribbenkreiger was also acting as a stand-in for James Caan in the TV series. When he heard about his injury, Caine rushed over from Las Vegas and stayed in the hospital for nearly 2 hours. time. After Kane left, Ribbenkreiger told his parents that the joke Kane told him was so funny that his wound split again...

·Justin Timber Lake auditioned for the role of John McClane's son.

· Bruce Willis’ line in the trailer: “All you have to do is pick up a kid from New Jersey and drop him off in D.C. What’s so hard about that? "It is a tribute to Willis's "16" starring last year.
