Light and shadow player

Chapter 14

Cheng Yu'an originally wanted to start work in a low-key manner, but some people didn't want him to keep a low profile.

I don’t know how the news got leaked. It said that the deputy director of the crew who was expelled by Zhang Jizhong wrote the script in more than a month, attracted investment, built the crew, negotiated the release, and prepared to shoot a feature film. Theatrical movies.

Cheng Yu'an doesn't have any reputation, but this story can't hold back the attraction.

The story of the unknown man fighting the dragon will be wanted to watch at any time.

So a group of reporters came after smelling it.

"The Young Director's Proof Battle! "

"Contradictions between Cheng and Zhang at the beginning, things are far more than that simple"

Someone found Zhang Jizhong who was working on the set of "Dragon Ba Bu", and the bearded man said:

"I don't know Cheng Yu'an, I don't know who he is, please don't disturb the work of the crew.

"But I still want to advise young people today that long stories are not so easy to control. You must learn basic skills and don't aim too high at a young age."

"Don't you like director Cheng Yu'an's works?" The reporter climbed up the pole.

"I didn't mean that, so please don't write nonsense." Zhang Jizhong denied.

The interviewer sneered in his heart, believe me.

Then, the entertainment headline in the media becomes:
"Zhang Jizhong bluntly said that Cheng Yu'an's basic skills are not good enough, and he is not optimistic about his new film"

"Zhang Jizhong criticizes Cheng Yu'an for being too ambitious and persuades him to give up"

At this stage, the paper media still has a bit of integrity, and the online media has begun to let themselves go.

Poor Cheng Yu'an, I just wanted to quietly drag the crew to Hong Kong Island and come back after filming, but the reporter blocked me for the past two days and didn't let me go out.

In desperation, the venue was booked and a press conference was held in the capital.

"Director Cheng, is this filming because of anger with producer Zhang?"

"Director Cheng, what do you want to say about Producer Zhang saying that your basic skills are not good?"

"Director Cheng, can you tell me why you were expelled from the crew?"

All kinds of questions were thrown, but none of them had anything to do with Sniper Booth.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and pressed his hands: "Don't worry, I'll answer them one by one.

"The script of this movie was conceived before I graduated, and it was thought and revised after repeated thinking, so it is definitely not a rash work.

"As for saying that my directing skills are not good, I can understand it. After all, I just graduated and I am still young. I still have a lot to learn. I would like to make a statement here. If my filming is not good, please scold me. , you call Cheng Yu’an a guy who makes bad movies, please don’t say it’s because the film school doesn’t teach well.”

Cheng Yu'an stopped there, and did not respond to why he was expelled from the crew of "Tian Long Ba Bu".

"This is the press conference of "Sniper Phone Booth". Please ask more about the movie."

"Director Cheng, Mr. Andy Lau invested in this movie. How did you know Mr. Andy Lau?"

The biggest and most important marketing point of "Sniper Phone Booth" is Andy Lau's investment.

Otherwise, you expect the little-known actor Liao Fan to sell at the box office?
Or the faceless Wang Zhiwen?
Or Gao Lu and Cheng Lingfeng, who are not famous at all?
The representative of Yingyi Entertainment took over the conversation: "Let me answer this question. Mr. Andy Lau has been paying attention to and willing to help new directors since the 90s. Yingyi Entertainment is a newly established company. Knowing that a new director in mainland China is preparing for such a film, Mr. Andy Lau read the script and was very interested, so he took the initiative to invest a part of it. The matter is actually very simple, not as complicated as everyone thinks."

As a new director, Cheng Yu'an, the reporter didn't want to ask him much, and he was happy to answer a few formulaic questions, such as how does it feel to direct for the first time, what kind of story is this, and then he watched the reporter ask Wang Zhiwen asked a series of questions.

There is no way, Wang Zhiwen is the biggest among several actors.

The press conference ended quickly, and the crew flew to Hong Kong Island in the afternoon.

The trip to Hong Kong Island was nominally led by China Film Group, and the Bank Supervision Agency was in charge of contacting.

The Bank Supervision Organization also specially arranged a small welcome dinner. After all, mainland crews rarely come to Hong Kong Island for filming.

Early the next morning, the crew came to Nathan Road.

The boot worship was brought to the Mainland from Hong Kong Island.

Do as the Romans do, "Sniper Phone Booth" also held a simple opening ceremony.

"Gods from all walks of life bless the filming of "Sniper Phone Booth" smoothly."

Cheng Yu'an, as the director, stood in the middle and respectfully burned incense.

The start-up ceremony was completed, and the crew officially began to operate.

"All departments are preparing, let's take a trial shot, Action!"

Liao Fan, who played the leading role Zhao Junyi, walked on the street in a suit, followed by his assistant.

Zhao Junyi's identity is the manager of an entertainment company, he can speak plainly with a bad mouth, and live with a dead mouth.

"No problem, I'll find Hua Tsai for you when the time comes. Which Hua Tsai? It's not Andy Lau or Ma Dehua."

"Tell the advertising department, if he doesn't do it, people will do it. Very popular? Is he more popular than Li Ming!"

"OK! Next week I will arrange for you to be interviewed on TV, and you will be popular!"

"Peachy news is a fart, come out to mess around, either you fuck me or I fuck you! If she wants to jump off a building, let her jump, and if she doesn't want to die, then get out and film."

Zhao Junyi made two or three phone calls back and forth, and the president didn't seem busy.

Zhao Junyi turned his head and lectured his assistant: "See, those who work in our business rely on their mouths. With this little money, you can buy two sets of good clothes. Buddha depends on gold clothes, and people rely on clothes."

The little assistant nodded and bowed, saying yes again and again.

"Work hard, brat. I'll introduce Brother Fa to you when I have a chance."

Zhao Junyi adhered to the principle of letting go of whether he knew him or not, but the name mentioned must be a big name, and he was tasked with fooling the assistant.

"Crack!" Cheng Yu'an yelled from behind the monitor, and looked at the replay again, very satisfied: "Very good, Liao Fan, you can play a little more and bring out your old flair. Let's make a formal one."

Liao Fan laughed and scolded in the audience: "Fuck you!"

The crew filmed in an orderly manner.

The scenes and characters of "Sniping the Phone Booth" are simple, and the shooting in the original time and space took only 12 days, and the scene in the phone booth took 10 days.

Cheng Yu'an's new driver is on the road, but he is sure to finish filming within 15 days.

Filming continues.

Zhao Junyi got into the phone booth, took off the ring on his hand, and started calling his little lover.

The pizza delivery man was played by Lin Xue, who knocked on the door of the phone booth and said to deliver pizza to him.

"Have you ever heard of someone eating pizza in a phone booth, I didn't order it."

The pizza delivery man was still entangled and refused to leave: "But this is where the address is written."

Zhao Junyi couldn't bear it anymore: "You want a tip, right? It's 100 yuan. Get lost."

"You'd better be nice to me."

"What can you do with me, huh? My phone calls are worth millions. There are so many people waiting for me to start work and eat, and I have no time to talk to you."

Lin Xue's eyes were full of grievance and anger, and finally she left helplessly.

Zhao Junyi then called his lover: "Lingling, do you believe that a lunatic just wanted to deliver pizza to me? Who would order pizza in a phone booth?"

"Why do you call me at the same phone booth at the same time every day." Cheng Lingfeng pretended to be a little sweet on purpose.

"Crack! It's over! Come here, Lingfeng." Cheng Yu'an shouted.

No one else knows what the aunt and nephew said together.

Although the actors are very young, they are really good. Cheng Yu'an can't find any major faults. He is only responsible for calling action and click.

"Sniping the Phone Booth" is a daytime drama, and when night falls, the crew's day's work is over.

In the hotel room, the main creators gathered together to summarize today's shooting problems and plan the shooting plan for the next day.

Cheng Lingfeng, as an investor, also attended the meeting. She said curiously:
"I heard that the underworld on Hong Kong Island is rampant, will we run into trouble?"

Lin Bingkun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the law and order on Hong Kong Island is very good now, and there will be no associations who don't have good eyesight to make troubles."

Cheng Yu'an flipped through the cast list and said with a smile, "Even if we were there, we wouldn't be afraid. Take a look at this."

Cheng Yu'an pointed to a name on the cast list.

Ren Dahua.

"With him here, no society on Hong Kong Island would dare to trouble us."

Of course Lin Bingkun understood, he laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Lingfeng was puzzled.

"You can find out who Brother Ren is from."

　I'm a bit stuck, go to bed early tonight, and adjust it tomorrow!
