The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 542 is over
"Pay attention to the cables on the ground, be careful!"

"Old Zheng, put on two more headlights, the light is a bit dim."

"Know it."

In the dim warehouse, Li Guang and Li Yaohui led the camera crew to adjust the camera position and made corrections to the lighting with the lighting team.

Lai Yiu-fai is the director of photography of "Infernal Affairs". He is good at gangster-themed movies and was invited by the crew to participate in the filming this time.

In "Happy Together" starring Zhang Guorong and directed by Wang Jiawei, the names of the two male protagonists were taken from the photography assistants of the crew, one of whom was him.

Generally speaking, the on-site preparation work before filming can be divided into five steps.

Positioning, lighting, rehearsal, fine-tuning, and formal shooting will vary from crew to crew.

First, the actors will roughly act out the content of the scene, that is, move around, so as to determine the actors' positions during the performance and the characters' movements.

After that, the photographer can determine the camera position, scenic area and movement trajectory according to the actor's performance area, and then determine the starting and ending frames, as well as the focal length and height of the lens, etc.

The lighting engineer can also determine the light position according to the performance area to arrange the lighting.

After Lu Yuan, Liang Jiahui and a group of extras entered the performance area, the lighting, photography, art and rigging workers all began to cooperate as instructed in advance.

The performance area was quickly demarcated, and the actors left the stage one after another. The labelers put tape on the ground to mark the movements they had just made.

This is a reminder for most actors to avoid walking out of the picture while acting.

Everything was ready, Li Gen waved in the direction of the monitor.

Wen Muye received the signal, raised the little bee, frowned, and said in a trembling voice: "All units, prepare."

"Photography is no problem."

"All lights are ready."

"Good recording."

The script supervisor claps: "One scene, one take, one shot for New World. Action!"

The scene became quiet, and everyone's attention was on the field.

Wen Muye placed his right index finger lightly against his lips, his eyes fixed on the image on the monitor.

The first scene after the crew started filming was the highlight and the key point of the plot turning point.

Ding Qing sent someone to hack into the police system and obtained the undercover information. He learned that there were multiple undercover agents around him, so he called Li Zicheng to the warehouse to watch the show.

When Li Zicheng heard the news, he was greatly troubled, fearing that his hidden identity might have been exposed.

This was the first time Lu Yuan and Liang Jiahui faced off in front of the camera.

One is a mainland Grand Slam winner and a leader of the new era, while the other is known as the actor with a thousand faces.

Everyone watching is looking forward to this rivalry.

In the warehouse, Ding Qing, played by Liang Jiahui, is sitting on a chair with a row of his younger brothers standing behind him.

He stood with his back to the light, with cigarette smoke rising from his hand. In the dim smoke, his face was vaguely visible, making him seem even more unfathomable.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching slowly.

Liang Jiahui was staring at the ground at this moment, feeling a chill in his heart, thinking there was something wrong with the rhythm.

Just hearing the sound, a picture emerged in my mind. The person who came seemed to have no strength in his legs. He kicked his slippers and his heels scraped across the ground, making a scraping sound.

Just through his footsteps, he could reveal the state of a person in a state of panic.

Great!

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Liang Jiahui raised his eyes and saw that Lu Yuan's body was slightly leaning forward, his steps were a little erratic. After looking at him, he quickly adjusted his posture, trying to hide the waves in his heart.

He casually stretched out his hand and waved: "Come here."

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and stood in front of him, his Adam's apple rolling unconsciously.

Liang Jiahui gestured behind him with a playful expression: "Do you want to see what's in the bucket?"

Lu Yuan looked around and walked towards the gasoline barrel with forced calmness. His hand trembled slightly when it touched the lid, and finally he lifted it up with a resigned look.

With a "swish", the barrel lid fell off. He subconsciously took a step back, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.

In the gasoline barrel is the Go teacher played by Colan, who is tortured and covered with bruises. The dark red bloodstains contrast sharply with the pale skin, and he is dying.

Lu Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid, his body stiffened, and in an instant, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Did you know she was a police officer?"

"I do not know."

"I guess you don't know either." Liang Jiahui held the edge of the bucket firmly with both hands, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity.

"No matter how hard we beat this woman, she refused to reveal her accomplice. She's tougher than most men. But it doesn't matter. I know who it is even if she doesn't tell me."

A group actor handed over a pornographic file. Liang Jiahui opened it, took out the file and handed it to Lu Yuan, saying meaningfully: "Come and take a look. This is information that cost a lot to get."

Lu Yuan stared at the familiar words on the white A4 document and looked away as if escaping.

"Actually, I was scared too. Who would have believed that there was a policeman among us?" Liang Jiahui stared into his eyes.

Lu Yuan was uneasy and looked around. The file in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he did not dare to open it.

"Let's take a look quickly." Liang Jiahui urged.

Lu Yuan then tremblingly opened the page and saw that the first page was not a photo of himself, but of Ke Lan and Liu Yijun. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The guy next to him who treats us like trash is Inspector Jiang." Liang Jiahui talked to himself, his tone full of sarcasm.

At the same time, he picked up a shovel and seemingly casually placed his hand on the shoulder of Li Zicheng's deputy Shi Wu.

The sound of the shovel scraping across the ground echoed in the warehouse, and the two men finally stopped in front of Lu Yuan.

Liang Jiahui casually unbuttoned his coat, then threw it to let it fall at Shi Wu's feet.

When the other party bent down to pick it up, his eyes suddenly became fierce. He held the shovel and swung it violently, hitting the other party's head hard.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The force of the blows one after another was terrifying.

Lu Yuan realized something was wrong and frantically looked through the files in his hand.

It turned out that the deputy was an undercover agent like himself. Perhaps he was the person sent by Superintendent Jiang to supervise him.

At this moment, Liang Jiahui's cruelty was completely exposed, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blue veins on his forehead were throbbing as his eyes opened wide.

He grabbed Shi Wu's hair roughly, faced Lu Yuan, and slashed at the other's neck with the cold knife.

The people around were stunned.

Before this, Liang Jiahui had been suppressing his emotions, movements, and steps, like a lunatic. But at this moment, he suddenly exploded with a hideous face and full of tension.

He is a real desperado who will do anything to achieve his goal.

Lu Yuan's mind was wandering in the sky, as if he didn't notice anything at all.

Liang Jiahui called out to the postgraduate entrance examination duo and another extra who were standing there stupidly: "Deal with that woman, and then get rid of this guy together with her. Be quick and tidy."

"Okay." The three responded.

"Bang." Liang Jiahui threw the knife away and pushed Lu Yuan who was still in a daze: "Let's go."

After saying that, he took a step and walked out of the warehouse.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Perhaps he was worried about exposing himself, but also couldn't bear to see his Go teacher suffer any more.

He turned around abruptly, pulled out a pistol from the waist of the postgraduate entrance examination duo, and pointed it directly at Kelan.

The two men's eyes met, Kelan nodded slightly with an extremely subtle movement, Lu Yuan's jaw bulged for a moment, he narrowed his eyes, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out one after another, echoing in the closed warehouse.

The camera zoomed in and when he fired the gun, Lu Yuan's feet were unstable and he even staggered slightly. His whole body swayed with the weak recoil of the pistol, like a grasshopper dropped on a beam by a rope, so weak.

The scene returned to silence again.

After a moment, Wen Muye's voice suddenly rang out: "Okay, I'll save one!"

Everyone stared at the figure standing in front of the gasoline barrel. His shoulders were drooping and he seemed to be still immersed in the play with a complicated expression.

For the first scene after filming, I know you two wanted to set an example for everyone, but isn’t this standard too high?

We can't do it.

"When you were shaking a few times when you were shooting just now, it was like you lost your soul. Can you do it?" Liu Yijun stared at Lu Yuan and asked to the side.

"I'm not sure if it was a subconscious move or if it was planned in advance. If I were to act it out, it probably wouldn't be that natural." Wang Yanhui shook his head: "What about you?"

"Uh," Liu Yijun muttered to himself. His current skills were terrible, but he refused to give in and said, "Me too."

Nanjing, the set of "So Young".

"Yang Zishan is just a blockhead. She turned a lady from a wealthy family into a maid. She has no acting skills at all and has no emotions at all."

In the crew's rest area, Zhao Wei sat on a small stool, speaking harshly and complaining endlessly.

"And Zheng Kai, he acted like a sissy when filming a kissing scene, he was really good at pretending."

"."

Liu Shishi held the cell phone in her pocket and heard Zhao Wei cursing in her ears.

From her current perspective, the actors selected by Zhao Wei generally have poor professional abilities. The male actors can only act cool and handsome, while the female actors are dull and there is no drama in their eyes.

Worse than her.

There was a big show yesterday.

Zheng Kai and his "rival" Zhao Youting had a fierce fight in the boys' dormitory. Zhao Wei asked him to act out the feeling of anger after the emotional outburst.

After taking a few shots, Zheng Kai was already hoarse and sweating, but he still didn't meet the requirements.

Finally, during the crew's adjustment period, Zhao Wei unexpectedly slapped him in the face, which made Zheng Kai burst into tears, and he finally expressed his emotions.

"Shi Shi, thanks to you yesterday, otherwise I don’t know what to do." Zhao Wei expressed his gratitude.

That’s right, Miss Liu proposed the method of slapping Zheng Kai in the face to arouse his emotions.

Liu Shishi waved his hands and said, "I just happened to remember that he also used a similar method to mobilize Li Yuchun's emotions when he was filming "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate."

"Huh!" Zhao Wei sighed, "Being a director is so tiring. If I keep doing this, I'll be going into menopause."

Liu Shishi blinked. That was right. Her impression of Xiaoyanzi was still stuck in the period of “My Fair Princess”: heartless and carefree.

It was only after I joined the crew that I discovered that he had a very bad temper. He would take off his headphones and throw them on the table at any time, shout "stop" loudly, and start scolding the actors, regardless of whether they were men or women, or who they were.

"Was it the same when Junior Brother Lu was filming 'Out of Time'?" Zhao Wei was curious.

Female directors actually have gender advantages on the set. For example, if the staff are unwilling to cooperate, she can just act coquettishly to get the job done, but she is not very willing to do so.

"Well," Liu Shishi recalled, "During the entire shoot, he only got angry once."

"Huh!" Zhao Wei blew her bangs in frustration: "It's true that people are better than you."

Liu Shishi didn't comment. She couldn't just be so stupid as to say that you can't do it.

Compared with Gouwu, Zhao Wei's preparation was far inferior, the filming team was very average, and she herself did not have the ability to control the situation. She looked loud and got angry at anyone she caught, but in fact, this was often a manifestation of incompetence.

While filming "Time Raiders", although Lu Yuan was also tired, he was more concerned about the details of the filming and was definitely not worried about the problems of the crew itself.

This is not the case with "So Young". Since the start of filming, many mistakes have occurred at the crew level.

For example, when the crew started filming in Pudong, enthusiastic citizens gathered around to watch. When the staff saw that the filming was delayed, they actually cursed the people of Nanjing for their low quality, which aroused public anger and finally the police had to come out to mediate.

The school’s precious trees were destroyed, and the school asked the crew for compensation. What’s even more outrageous is that a crew member accidentally skipped work because he misremembered the time, and was detained for fear of being scolded so he called the police.

It can be said that the management of the entire crew was a mess.

She used to think it was easy for an actor to become a director, but now looking at Zhao Wei, she realized that it was just that the dog was more capable.

Zhao Wei looked at the set and said with a headache: "Shi Shi, ask your family how to train actors like Yang Zishan who have no acting skills."

Liu Shishi pursed her lips, turning the phone over and over in her hands, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"this and that"

"Ok?"

She hesitated for a long time: "I'll contact him later."

Zhao Wei nodded, got up and went to the studio.

After she walked away, Liu Shishi looked at his phone and fell into silence.

It's so annoying, what excuse can I make?

She bit her lip, frowned, and wrote a string of words with her fingers. Finally, she deleted them, leaving only two words.

"Are you there?"

For a long while, no one responded.

"elder brother."

"husband."

"..."

"You ignored me." Liu Shishi was furious and said helplessly, "You bastard, you bastard!!"

Assistant Wang Li glanced at it, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Zheng Qian to tip her off.

When I looked over again, I saw her puffing up her cheeks, sniffing her nose, and taking a photo aggrievedly, and posting it on WeChat Moments: "I look like a dog that is ignored."

Lu Yuan: "Try to curse me again and I'll take care of you when I get back."

Ms. Li said: "Who are you going to punish, Mr. Lu? You deserve a beating, don't you?"

Lu Minghua: "Shi Shi, cut him."

Lu Yuan: “???”

"It's over. I forgot to block uncle and aunt." Liu Shishi screamed. The sky was falling. This time, she was really going to be severely punished by that bastard.

Wang Li: "."

There is a lot of pressure on domestic films in April.

The public's attention is almost entirely focused on "Titanic 3D" which will be released on April rd.

This is the first blockbuster movie entering April.

Although it has been released for 15 years, its influence remains as strong as ever.

Especially the remastered 3D version, which is full of gimmicks, and Leonardo and Kate Winslet are now international superstars.

Domestic films released in April, such as "Ordinary Man", "The Golden Robbery" and "Killing", have been promoted non-stop across the country, working harder than ever before.

"it is good."

"Pass."

The crew of "New World".

Lu Yuan finished a scene, took the cup of water handed to him by Zheng Qian, and said to Han Jianv, "I say, you should go back to class."

This girl is one of the screenwriters. Even though she has nothing to do after the filming started, she followed along happily and couldn't be chased away.

The Han family girl shook her head and said, "Wait a few more days."

"Still waiting, that's what you said when you turned it on."

"Ah, senior brother, what did you say? You want me to go find Li Weng? Okay, I'll go right away." The girl from the Han family turned around and left.

Lu Yuan shrugged helplessly.

After a while, she came back and said, "Brother, someone is visiting us."
