China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 582 Steal half a day's leisure from floating life!
The book continues from the above:

It is said that when Gao Fei was busy worrying about the entire film and television industry, there was actually not much reaction in the industry.

After all, the earth will continue to rotate regardless of who is away from it.

Although Zhouyi Film and Television is at its peak in the entertainment industry, it does not prevent others from shining their glory.

For example, the low-budget movie "Shark Beach" from Hollywood has attracted the attention of many domestic filmmakers.

I have to say that this broke many people's stereotypes about Hollywood.

In contrast, in recent years, Huayue Films has rarely produced such low-budget high-quality films.

But overall, the domestic film and television industry is still thriving.

Even if it can’t be said to be fast forward, it can still be called an upward spiral!
It is precisely because they are aware of this slow and positive transformation that the superiors are becoming more and more satisfied with Zhouyi Film and Television and the Xiongan Guild.

It's just that Gao Fei didn't pay much attention to it.

Because when he was young, a man who looked like his uncle once said to him:

"You must be yourself!"

……

2016, April 9.

Saturday afternoon, three o'clock.

It is said that after being busy for a long time, Gao Fei, who rarely took a break, didn't go anywhere this weekend and just stayed in No. [-] Courtyard of Houhai.

In the morning, I slept until about eleven o'clock and then woke up naturally.

After getting up, he didn't bother to go out, so he walked around the backyard a few times and it was considered exercise.

Then I had breakfast on time at [-] noon!

I don’t know if I had too much breakfast.

When the afternoon sunlight filtered through the carved red lacquer window grilles, Gao Fei felt a little sleepy again.

The old saying goes well:
Spring is sleepy, summer is tired, autumn takes a nap, and winter is March when I can't wake up.

These are natural laws and cannot be violated by human beings.

Therefore, Gao Fei simply lay down wherever he felt sleepy.

So when Liu Yifei walked briskly across the alley and walked across the hall, it was like entering a deserted place.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a half-naked man lying on the Arhat couch by the window.

There is also a thread-bound book covering his face. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the words "Jin Ping Mei Hardcover Graphic Edition".

Seeing this situation, Liu Yifei couldn't help but rolled her eyes speechlessly.

There are real people here and you don’t want to play with them, but you have to look at pictures?What's wrong!
However, complaints are complaints. Seeing this situation, although Liu Yifei looked disgusted, she still sat aside quietly and did not disturb Gao Fei, but silently read the script alone.

Although she didn't like to go out, she had heard about the recent turmoil in the industry and knew how busy Gao Fei was these days.

It is precisely for this reason that neither Liu Yifei nor Yang Mi nor Liu Shishi came to disturb Gao Fei these days.

So just like that, as the clock ticked away bit by bit.

When Gao Fei woke up, the sky was already filled with sunset.

Looking at the red flaming clouds outside the window, Gao Fei didn't get up in a hurry and just watched silently.

It wasn't until a long while later that I heard a faint voice coming from beside me:
"...Is "Jin Ping Mei" as good as me?"

Goofy: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"When did you come? Why didn't you say anything?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was too lazy to reply to him. She just glanced at the book on his chest angrily and hummed softly:

"Are you dying?"

Seeing her say this, Gao Fei couldn't sit still.

Not bothering to pretend to be idle for a moment, he immediately stretched out his hand to fish it out and pulled Liu Yifei onto the bed amidst her exclamations.

Then, I saw the old man lying on his back, his horse leaping and his whip whipping.

Suddenly the world turned upside down, and they saw phoenixes singing, rabbits leaping, long hair like willows, and silver snakes dancing wildly.

I don’t know how long it took, but the evening glow reflected on a pair of mountain peaks through the window.

Gao Fei had walked back and forth in the quiet path countless times, and he was already so tired that he was foaming at the mouth and oozing fluid like liquid.

No wonder someone in the past wrote a poem:

The trails are sparse and the moss in the clear shade is ancient.

The wind is about to come, but it suddenly looks like rain on the mountain

You really have to practice it yourself before you can understand this truth!
……

For a long time, dusk completely flooded the backyard.

The drama of "water overflowing the golden mountain" on the Arhat's bed is finally coming to an end.

Looking at Liu Yifei lying on his chest and humming like a pig, Gao Fei didn't bother to put on any more clothes.

So she hugged Liu Yifei and walked into the bathroom together, while ordering a takeaway.

After all, after working for so long, he was indeed hungry.

But Gao Fei's hard work all afternoon was indeed not in vain.

When the two sat at the table again, Liu Yifei's attitude toward Gao Fei was as gentle as water.

And when Gao Fei asked her why she came in the afternoon, it took her a long time to remember.

"Oh~ It's all your fault. I originally wanted to discuss the script with you, but nothing was done."

After saying that, seeing Gao Fei's eyes looking a little strange, Liu Yifei immediately rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly:
"It's not what you think, it's true [discussing the script]!"

Seeing this, Gao Fei smiled and took a sip of water.

Liu Yifei was so angry that her pretty face immediately turned slightly angry, and the beauty was so angry that she had a different charm.

Of course, teasing was teasing, and after a while the two got down to business.

So after a simple dinner, Liu Yifei took out her script full of handwriting.

After hesitating for a moment, she was still a little confused and said:

"This book is a good book with good characters."

"But...why do I feel that there are many places here that are illogical?"

Seeing what Liu Yifei said, Gao Fei did not answer her immediately, but first picked up the biography she wrote and read it.

After a while, he put down the notebook in his hand with a slight nod, and said with a satisfied smile:

"Yes, I understand the characters quite well."

Then Gao Fei answered Liu Yifei's initial question.

"These logical flaws are actually known to me and the director and were just left in intentionally."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yifei seemed to understand, but she was still a little confused.

Gao Fei was not surprised when he saw this, he immediately laughed and said:

"In this way, don't worry about the specific content of the story for the time being, and first look at the problem from the narrative method."

As he said this, Gao Fei turned directly to the beginning of the script and tapped his finger gently.

"First of all, the story unfolds in the form of flashbacks."

"If you analyze the writer's approach separately from the content, it is not difficult to find that most of the storyline is actually revealed slowly through Li Wen's mouth."

"But can you believe what Li asked?"

"You must know that after he is arrested by the police, every word he speaks will be directly related to his safety."

"So these oral confession narratives are bound to have a lot of subjective descriptions." At this point, Gao Fei looked at the handwriting on the script with a look of enjoyment and chuckled:

“Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s false, it’s half true, it’s half false, it’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s false… This is normal.”

"After all, Li Wen is a liar."

"There are loopholes in the liar's story and the logic is a bit blunt. Isn't this a normal incident?"

"You have to know that in the movie, this story was originally made up on the fly when he was being escorted to the police station."

“It’s amazing that you can improvise so well in such a short period of time!”

Hearing this, Liu Yifei suddenly realized.

"That is to say...the rigid logic is the director's deliberate effect?"

"Well, almost, but not quite."

Although the "Warrior" crew is playing a game of "I know you know there's a flaw here".

But the flaws in some places are purely forced.

For example, the ending of the movie.

When Gao Fei and Zhuang Wenqiang first discussed it, they thought it would be best to let Li Wen and Wu Xiuqing leave smoothly.

However, censorship does not allow criminals in movies to safely escape legal sanctions after committing crimes.

Gao Fei had no choice but to arrange a big fireworks at sea.

However, Gao Fei and Zhuang Wenqiang played a "Jiang Wen-style" trick this time.

That is to say, it has a seemingly ordinary ending.

There’s no problem with the lines, there’s no problem with the plot, and it’s a “normal” ending no matter how you look at it.

But in the design of the ending screen, a "little gift" that is enough to adapt the plot is hidden.

In the end, as expected, the review didn't show it up.

This can be regarded as the crew's greatest attempt to achieve a balance between review standards and film expression.

……

The next day, No. 1 Arsenal Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.

Heung Kong Police Building.

After the opening ceremony, Gao Fei and the crew hurried here.

After greeting and thanking several police department leaders, Gao Fei didn't hesitate any longer and started filming.

It is said that Xiangjiang's support for film shooting is still very strong, and official agencies such as the police station can shoot on site.

Generally, as long as the crew can obtain a filming permit issued by the Police Public Relations Division, they can film inside.

Of course, most of the time, the Public Relations Division provides idle or less busy police stations.

After all, if there were no restrictions on the output of Hong Kong films at that time, I am afraid that the police station would eventually become a free movie and TV city.

Therefore, it is still relatively difficult to apply for an office space like the Xiangjiang Police Headquarters.

Even if it’s difficult to apply, you still have to apply. No police station in Xiangjiang is more grand than the Police Building!
"Haha~ This is my first time wearing this kind of silver bracelet!"

After putting on makeup, Gao Fei looked at himself in prison uniform in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately he filed the report.

Otherwise, if reporters were to take photos of her dressed like this at the police headquarters, who knows what kind of rumors would spread!

Maybe he will be like Huang Bo, sitting at home while a prison falls from the sky.

He obviously didn't do anything, but he ended up being jailed! O(∩_∩)O haha~
……

"February 2, two years ago. Seven guards at the Canadian National Bank were killed on the Canadian Highway."

"In June of the same year, the Golden Triangle Marin guerrillas suffered 6 deaths and 82 injuries."

"On September 9 last year, a few hours after the arson and murder incident in the Tuen Mun dyeing factory, Canadian Mounted Police Officer Li Yongzhe and art dealer Lovin were killed in the Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel."

In the interrogation room, Gao Fei was seen sitting on a chair in despair and fear, surrounded by a group of police officers.

Across the table, a neutral police officer who could not easily define gender looked at him coldly and continued to say indifferently:
"These murders are all related to an international counterfeiting syndicate."

"The members included Macau natives Wu Xin and Lin Lihua; Vietnamese overseas Chinese Shen Sihai and Wang Bo... all of them were killed, and only two of them survived!"

"You are one of them...the other is your boss, the painter!"

After getting straight to the point and explaining the information the police had, the interrogation officially began.

After all, there has to be an entry point for flashbacks.

And such an interrogation-style review is naturally the most appropriate opportunity.

……

"click~"

Behind the monitor, as Gao Fei finished his last line, Zhuang Wenqiang immediately spoke with satisfaction.

There was no "protection" after that. After thanking the police, he immediately left with the crew.

But after leaving, Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile as she recalled the scene in the nanny's car.

Seeing this, Gao Fei, who was sitting aside to rest, looked at her in surprise.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some chatting I heard in the police station just now."

Liu Yifei didn't show off, and immediately shared with Gao Fei with a smile:

"You know, after we finished filming just now, a policeman said that we were too good at talking and talking like we were guessing riddles."

"He said that if everything was to be the same as in the movie, they would not be able to continue doing it."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel happy.

Indeed, according to the difficulty index in Hong Kong movies, the working mode of the Hong Kong police should be hellish.

But then again, the lines played by Gao Fei and Liu Yifei in the interrogation room just now were really brain-burning.

It seems that Liu Yifei is persuading Gao Fei to tell him about the painter, but in fact every line of dialogue has subtext.

For example, the two reached a tacit understanding in the interrogation room directly in front of the police.

---------

Li asked:

You know it puts both of us in danger
(Betray Nguyen Van, she will kill us).

Wu Xiuqing:
Then you should also know that there will be no danger if I leave now... You won't tell me?I'm leaving!
(If you stay here any longer, we will both be in greater danger).

Li asked:

Why is that?
(what do you want to do?)

Wu Xiuqing:
The person I love most was killed by a painter. I have the right to know, right?
(I can’t survive if you die anyway. You can protect her if you want, but I won’t!)
Li asked:

...You have the right!

(Don’t be impulsive, let me do it!)
------------

Regarding this interrogation scene, in fact, it cannot be acted based on the lines on the surface.

So before filming this scene, Gao Fei rehearsed several times with Liu Yifei.

The purpose is to allow her to separate her lines from the characters' emotions and try to be as consistent as possible.

Because in this scene, the eye contact between Li Wen and Wu Xiuqing is the most critical.

When it comes to eye scenes, it is generally recognized in the industry as difficult to act and film.

Fortunately, Gao Fei and Liu Yifei know each other privately and can communicate at any time.

Otherwise, a different pair of actors may not be able to have the same understanding and tacit understanding as the two of them!
