Chapter 478 Idol
"How's the blower preparation going?"

"over!"

"Where is the rain stick? I put a big rain stick here."

"Here I am. Here I am."

"Is the fire truck full of water? Check again."

Early in the morning, the sky was dim and there was a lot of noise at the broken part of the viaduct.

The crew members are busy setting up the scene for the rainy night scene, preparing for the upcoming filming.

Today, three key scenes were arranged on the viaduct.

One was that Zhao Junyi accidentally knocked out his boss, Mr. Gu, in an attempt to create the illusion of an accidental death in a car accident, and hid it from Lu Ming, asking him to help drive and follow.

On a rainy night, when the two men came to an overpass and were about to implement their plan, Lu Ming learned the truth of the matter and stepped forward decisively to stop them.

The second game was Lu Shiyi’s growth line. At that time, Lu Ming did not choose to stop him and watched him fall.

The third scene is when Gu Xiaojiao’s father wakes up in the early morning and expresses his gratitude to Lu Ming, who was born in 91.

In order to speed up the progress, the crew decided to shoot the night scenes in the early morning and do the color adjustment in later stage.

Because this set doesn't have many scenes, they will move to another shooting location immediately after shooting all the shots for this scene.

It is already August, and the film "The Golden Robbery" has been completed.

While Ning Hao was busy editing, as the producer, he took time out to visit the crew of "Out of Time and Space".

By the way, make a cameo appearance.

Generally, those who can become directors have quite good acting skills, such as Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang and others.

Just because of their image or interest, they basically don't work as full-time actors, but they are generally addicted to acting and often play small roles. Although the roles are not large, they always have their highlights.

For example, Liu Zhenwei, the director of "A Chinese Odyssey", once made a guest appearance as Patriarch Bodhi, which has become a classic.

Feng Xiaogang also made a cameo appearance as the boss of the Crocodile Gang in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", which left a deep impression on the audience.

Ning Hao probably wanted to be on par with them and leave behind some classic roles on the big screen, so he made guest appearances frequently.

Not only does he appear in movies he directed himself, he also takes the initiative to go to other crews to fight for roles.

This time in "Out of Time", he will play the role of Gu Xiaojiao's father.

Lu Yuan disagreed at first. He thought this guy had a face full of flesh and looked like a gangster, which didn't fit the character setting. He looked wrong in every way.

But Ning Hao has his own explanation.

"This role is meant for me. According to the setting in your script, Gu Jianlin could have run a construction company in 91. Those who could make it in that era were definitely tough guys. What's wrong with my looks? In my opinion, it's a perfect match."

Ning Hao leaned against the guardrail, holding it with one hand and holding a cigarette with the other.

With the big gold chain around his neck, in the hazy night, he looks like a gangster from a Hong Kong movie.

Lu Yuan glanced at the busy staff, thought to himself, and felt that what Ning Hao said made sense.

In the early years, many gangsters chose to go into business. With the opportunities given by the times, even street vendors selling roasted chestnuts could gradually expand the scale of their business.

He pondered for a moment, as if remembering something, and asked curiously, "No, who is Gu Jianlin?"

"Gu Xiaojiao's father, that is, Mr. Gu, was named by me. What's the problem?"

Ning Hao gave him a knowing look and said, "Lu Shiyi and Gu Jianlin, these two names are so suitable."

Lu Yuan understood his Ning-style bad taste in an instant and explained, "Lu Shiyi is the homonym of one billion."

"So that's how it is." Ning Hao threw the cigarette butt away, it fell to the ground, sparks flying everywhere.

Qin Hao happened to pass by, stamped out his cigarette, and interrupted, "Director Ning, why not name it Gu Jiayin?"

"This is not a good name." Ning Hao shook his head in a pretentious manner.

"how to say."

Lu Yuan and Qin Hao listened attentively at the same time.

“Print more, what to print, printing money, who can print it, the higher-ups, why are they printing it, it’s gone, why is it gone.”

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't beat around the bush. What a mess." Lu Yuan waved his hands, his head aching after listening to this.

"Hey." Ning Hao laughed. It was just nonsense in the first place.

Qin Hao pulled up his trouser legs and squatted down beside the two of them. Then, he took out an old-fashioned Walkman from his pocket. It had a black body, slender lines, and was very angular. It could play tapes. The brand was Aihua.

In the script, Lu Ming is from 1991.

What was it like in 91?
Steaming copper teapots, swaying large floor fans, children huddled in front of black and white TVs, women wearing sun hats, men with pagers on their waists, hair salons all over the streets, tycoons holding up big brothers and shouting "hello, hello, hello", avant-garde young people with colorful hair, and conservative middle-aged people ballroom dancing.

In order to decorate Lu Ming's room in 91, the props team looked up a lot of information and spent a lot of effort.

The Walkman in Qin Hao's hand was a popular item of that era. He fell in love with it at first sight and asked for it from the props team, saying that he would keep it for his collection.

"That year we were confused, and the days passed by in ignorance."

"What song?" Lu Yuan listened for a long while. He really didn't understand this thing.

Ning Hao had some impression of it and answered, "The Last Day of 19."

Qin Hao was surprised and pressed his finger on the next song.

"Spring Mud." Ning Hao hummed along to the rhythm and said with certainty, "Yi Neng actually wrote this for Yu Chengqing."

Qin Hao was even more surprised and played a few more songs.

Ning Hao got all of them right several times, lowered his head and asked: "These songs are all related to Yi Nengjing, why, is she your idol?"

"Of course not. He is definitely a childhood idol."

Qin Hao's eyes began to shine, and he said, "When our family got our first record player, the first record we bought was "The Last Day of 19."

Lu Yuan looked at Qin Hao and always felt that there was something strange in this guy's eyes when he mentioned Yi Nengjing.

Before I could think about it, the staff waved to me from a distance.

"Director, we can begin."

"Okay." He clapped his hands, and the three of them walked into the venue.

The scene has been set up.

At the broken part of the viaduct, two red and white traffic cones were placed as a warning. About five meters away, two black cars were parked one in front and one behind.

At this time, it was not yet completely dawn and the car lights were on.

The asphalt road was wet and the accumulated water reflected the faint light. There were two fire trucks parked on the right side and several blowers.

A fire truck's water pump can usually only spray continuously for about four minutes, so at least two or more are needed, with one working while the other transports water.

As for the blower, it is to simulate the feeling of heavy rain, and the strong wind can blow the rain into pieces.

Sometimes, in order to enhance the "rain and fog" effect, some white smoke is put behind the blower to create a misty atmosphere.

In this scene, Ning Hao only needs to lie down and act.

After the three of them entered the set, this guy rolled quickly into the trunk.

"Ouch, shit, I hit my head." He curled up and shouted.

"What's that smell in this car?"

"Don't make any noise, just lie down."

"I am the producer after all. Mr. Lu, can you please change to a better car? Or drive my car over here."

"boom!"

Lu Yuan closed the trunk.

Behind the surveillance camera, Wen Jiuqiansui ascended the throne again, arrogant and giving orders.

"Move forward a little bit, Q and wait for me to Q you in."

"log."

"Here I come, Director Wen."

"Mobile phones are muted and the scene is quiet."

"3, 2, 1."

"start!"
