On the day of my entry, I carried the wanted criminal report with one hand!

Chapter 205 Official start!
Three days later, the entrance of the Mara Hotel in Guangcheng was extremely bustling.

The dark crowd blocked the water around the hotel entrance.

A crowd of fans, as well as reporters from various media, were all blocking the door, making it extremely noisy.

"Everyone, don't mess! Don't squeeze!"

The security guards nervously maintained the order at the scene, and they were already sweating profusely from exhaustion.

While the crowd was making noise, a commercial vehicle drove over from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Several bodyguards came down and opened the back door of the car.

Andy Lau walked out from inside wearing a black casual suit and sunglasses.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

In the next half an hour, Liang Chaowei, Chen Xi, and Wu Yu arrived in their cars one after another, causing shouts from time to time.

After they got out of the car, they walked into the hotel under the escort of bodyguards.

After a while, Lin Yao and Zhao Guanghua came together and walked into the hotel.

After everyone saw Lin Yao who was like a tiger, they gave way one after another.

Looking at the dark crowd, Lin Yao couldn't help sighing to Zhao Guanghua next to him:

"Surrounded by so many people, this formation is really big enough!"

"That's right! Several of the leading actors have arrived today. Many fans heard that their idols are coming, and some of them are here at six o'clock in the morning!"

"It's rare to see so many film stars and powerful actors gathered together!"

Zhao Guanghua glanced at the emotional fans and said with a smile.

Afterwards, the two walked directly into the hotel conference room.

In the conference room, Liu Dehua and the others were sitting at the table, exchanging greetings.

"Brother Hua, long time no see! How are you doing recently?"

"Well, it's good, I haven't seen you for a while, I think you are handsome again!"

"Haha! Where is Brother Hua handsome!"

After a while of unnutritious pleasantries, Wu Yu was the first to mention the shooting:

"For this filming, the director is said to be a criminal policeman in their police system."

"Yeah! And he is also the screenwriter."

Chen Xi also nodded and said,

"When they came to me at first, I didn't want to come to shoot. After all, I didn't think the promotional videos they made in-house were very interesting, and the time for my concert was already set."

"But after I saw the script, I suddenly became interested and found it very interesting."

"Yes, me too."

Wu Yu immediately said,

"When I heard that a police officer was going to be the screenwriter and director, I didn't have any hope, so I thought about rejecting it."

"But the leader repeatedly asked me to read the script first. After reading it, I immediately agreed to shoot."

"Well, me too."

Liang Chaowei also nodded.

Afterwards, Chen Xi couldn't help raising doubts:
"But after I came back, I muttered, this script is really like what they said, was it written by this policeman?"

"Isn't it because I bought a script, let's frame it first and then talk about it?"

Wu Yu couldn't help frowning:
"I also have this concern. If this is the case, he will definitely not be able to direct as a layman. The frame is a small matter for us. The key is to waste such a good script!"

After hearing what they said, Andy Lau immediately said:

"Don't say that, this police officer has personally experienced undercover. He just wiped out a smuggling gang some time ago."

"This script may be his personal experience."

"This"

Liang Chaowei looked at Andy Lau and said:
"Did he create it based on himself?"

"That might not be the case."

Liu Dehua nodded slightly and said.

While they were discussing, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

They quickly raised their heads and looked towards the door.

Immediately, a man with a height of more than two meters, a fierce appearance, and a muscular body, like an ancient demon god, walked in directly.

Lin Yao was wearing a tight-fitting vest, and the Nine Dragons coffin totem tattoo was all over his body, which was particularly terrifying.

Liu Dehua and the others stared closely at Lin Yao, completely dumbfounded.

They have been filming for so many years, and they have never seen such a fierce actor!
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Lin Yao from the Fifth Serious Case Team of the Jiangcheng Criminal Police Team. He is in charge of this shooting mission."

After Zhao Guanghua came in, he saw that everyone was stunned and speechless, so he quickly introduced with a smile.

After Zhao Guanghua finished speaking, everyone came to their senses this time and greeted one after another:
"Officer Lin, hello!"

"You wrote this script, right? It's really wonderful!"

Lin Yao looked at them, with a smile on his ferocious face, and said hastily:
"You don't need to call me Police Officer Lin, just call me Xiao Lin."

"No, no, I should call you Director Lin."

"Yes, it must be called Director Lin!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Yao and Zhao Guanghua sat across from them.

Liu Dehua looked at Lin Yao, couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed:

"I know why you, Director Lin, are able to create such a wonderful script. You are someone with a story."

"Yes!"

Wu Yu stared at Lin Yao and said,

"I'm usually imposing enough to play a villain, but compared with Director Lin, I'm not at the same level at all, I feel ashamed!"

"Director Lin, do you want to participate in this promotional film?"

Chen Xi hurriedly asked,

"If you play the villain, isn't the protagonist under a lot of pressure?"

"Yeah, if you play the villain, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death, haha!"

Liu Dehua said with a smile.

Lin Yao also laughed twice, and then said:
"Whether I'm going to play or not depends on the situation."

"Okay, let me tell you about our shooting mission."

Afterwards, Lin Yao turned serious, looked at them and said.

"it is good."

The others nodded.

So Lin Yao said:

"What we are shooting this time is a promotional film about undercover agents. Everyone has already read the script, and everyone knows what kind of story it is."

"The estimated duration of this promotional film is three and a half hours. It is actually a bit compact to film these contents in three and a half hours."

"In the past few days, I have optimized the script."

When Lin Yao said this, everyone was shocked.

"Director Lin, wait a minute, what do you mean, our promotional film will last for three and a half hours?"

Wu Yu couldn't help interrupting Lin Yao and asked in disbelief.

Lin Yao looked at him and nodded:

"Yes."

"This"

Several people immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

They originally thought it was just a promotional video, at most 10 minutes for the feature film would be good.

But it turned out to be three and a half hours? !
The usual theater movies don’t take so long!
Lin Yao also saw their thoughts, so he explained:
"Everyone, you have already read the script. There are so many stories in it. If there is no such a long film length, it cannot be shown."

"But...can you simplify it?"

Chen Xi immediately said,

"It will take a long time to shoot a film that lasts so long! I have pushed a few concerts to come here. If this delay continues, my year will be wasted."

Lin Yao nodded slightly, he understood their thoughts very well.

Because among the few of them, Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei starred with zero salary, while Chen Xi and Wu Yu only asked for a symbolic salary.

If the filming takes them a long time, they will definitely consider the income issue.

Before Lin Yao could speak, Andy Lau took the lead in saying:

"Director Lin, I support the duration you mentioned."

"Such a good script, if it is crudely produced, rushed to the schedule, and the script is greatly deleted, it will ruin such a good script!"

"Even if you shoot for a whole year, I will shoot with you! Including the salary, I will stick to what I said before, not a penny!"

Speaking of this, Andy Lau pursed his lips and continued,

"To tell you the truth, after I read this script, I was deeply touched, and some lines touched me very much."

"I also understand the difficulty of your undercover police officers, so this can be regarded as a tribute to them!"

After Andy Lau finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment.

Then Wu Yu directly shook his head and said:

"Brother Hua, I can't compare with you. The money I earned in the past few years is almost spent, and I still have a wife and children waiting for me to raise at home."

"Although I asked for some remuneration for this movie, it was only a symbolic one."

"If I have no income for a year, I can't bear it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao immediately waved his hands and said:

"I understand your concerns, but don't worry, this film will not be filmed for a year or so."

"My estimate is that it will be done in one and a half months."

"A month and a half?!"

After Lin Yao finished speaking, the people present were surprised at first, and then couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.

Sure enough, as a layman, it is too simple to think about shooting movies!
If the filming was completed in one and a half months, how shoddy is the film?
"Director Lin, filming is not as easy as you think. One and a half months is definitely not enough."

Afterwards, Andy Lau looked at Lin Yao and said,

"You don't need to compress the shooting time so much in order to catch up with the schedule. It's not good to shoot like this."

"Well, I know what's going on in my heart. I'm confident that you will cooperate well by then."

Lin Yao said immediately.

Lin Yao said so with certainty.

Because he watched "Infernal Affairs" at least a dozen times in his previous life, and he knows every scene in it very well.

What's more, there is still the blessing of an expert director, so as long as their actors are good, the filming will be completed soon.

"OK then."

Seeing Lin Yao's swearing, everyone had no choice but to nod.

Wu Yu and the others had already thought about it. If the battle line dragged on for too long, they would find a way to get out.

"Director Lin, I haven't done anything for the past few days. I've been studying the script."

Seeing that the issue of shooting time has been discussed, Andy Lau looked at Lin Yao and said,

"I saw that the character I was going to play, named Liu Jianming, would suffer from schizophrenia and hallucinations in the later stage."

"I think this is a challenge for my performance."

"It may take a few more pictures to pass by then, let me tell you in advance."

Lin Yao looked at Andy Lau's serious expression and nodded.

An old actor like him, a capable actor, has extremely high demands on himself.

Immediately afterwards, they discussed some script issues.

After confirming the shooting, Zhao Guanghua arranged them to rest in a hotel room.

During the next filming process, they will all live in this Mara Hotel.

After their meeting ended, various media published articles on the Internet one after another.

Announced the upcoming shooting of the promotional film "Infernal Affairs".

Immediately, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and public opinion quickly fermented on the Internet!
"What? It's an undercover promotional film directed by a policeman who brought together several film stars and so many powerful actors?!"

"It is said that the length of this promotional video will be three and a half hours!"

"Three and a half hours of promotional video, what a joke! Even the movies released in cinemas don't take that long!"

"It takes him so long for a promotional video?"

"Sigh, I'm going to be disappointed. I thought that so many celebrities gathered together to make some kind of masterpiece, but this is the result?"

"I feel the same way. This promotional film must be meaningless. It's a waste of the cast!"

Comments on related information on the Internet were overwhelmingly posted.

Zhao Guanghua put these comments in front of the leader and said:

"Leader, now the news that we are going to shoot this promotional film has been spread on the Internet, and it is very popular, and it is all on the top searches!"

The leader frowned, scanned it quickly, and then said:

"Originally, I shot this promotional video just to play it in the police system of our Jiangnan Province."

"Now that Xiao Lin is doing this, if this is not broadcast on the Internet, these netizens will not be willing!"

Zhao Guanghua nodded again and again, and then said:

"Yes, leader. The main reason is that we have gathered so many star actors and actresses here, and we can't keep a low profile even if we want to."

"That's fine. When the time comes, it will be filmed, and it will be broadcast directly on the entire network. But you must tell Xiao Lin, you must make a good film, and don't lose face to our Jiangnan Province!"

The leader nodded slightly and said immediately.

"Okay, don't worry, leader, I will tell him!"

Afterwards, Zhao Guanghua walked out.

Next, he began to prepare the materials needed by the crew.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

After the opening ceremony, the promotional video of "Infernal Affairs" officially started shooting!
Scene One, Act One.

An idle meeting room of the Municipal Bureau.

Two cameras aimed at Brother Chen who was sitting at the conference table.

Brother Chen is played by Duan Wei. Duan Wei is not tall and a little fat, but he exudes a lot of momentum.

At this moment, he was sitting at the conference table with a blank expression on his face.

In front of him, there were several boxes of lunch.

When this film was filmed in the previous life, the actor who played Brother Chen pushed out all the boxed lunches on a whim, but unexpectedly got an unexpected effect.

So this time Lin Yao directly arranged his action into the script.

Lin Yao sat in front of the machine, staring at the screen tightly.
