They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 611 Finally spoke!

The filming set at this time was decorated in the style of a bank in Hong Kong Island.

In such a scene, the masked gangster with a gun, the sound of sirens outside, and the hostages lying on the ground and shivering, it is obviously a scene of a bank robbery.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere inside the bank was strangely harmonious.

Huo Mingjie plays the thief leader "Chen", who wears a mask. Although his features cannot be seen clearly, his eyes that are exposed are still bright and deep.

The companion beside him was supporting an old lady who was in her eighties, with white hair and a trembling body.

Hearing that today was the old lady's birthday, "Chen" held a small cake that he had found from somewhere in his left hand, and sincerely congratulated the old lady on her birthday.

Holding the gun in his right hand, he casually fired the muzzle at the group of hostages lying on the ground. The voices of the hostages singing birthday songs immediately became three degrees louder.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The old lady blew out the candle tremblingly, and then "Chen" said in a low and soft voice, soothing:

"I'm sorry for your unhappy birthday, old lady. I'll take you out now, and there should be time to buy a real cake!"

After that, he personally supported the old lady to the bank door and sent her out safely in front of the astonished eyes of the hostages.

Before leaving, he bowed slightly and expressed his apologies to the old lady again.

Such a gentle and gentlemanly attitude does not seem like that of a robber at all.

At this time, almost everyone inside and outside the bank was confused.

But it was this "gentle" attitude that gave everyone peace of mind.

The officers surrounding the place outside felt that the robbers inside had softened their attitude, and it seemed that they could negotiate to avoid casualties.

The hostages inside also felt relieved at this time, thinking that since the criminals did not want to hurt anyone, there was no need to resist...

At this time, "Chen" played by Huo Mingjie looked around, aware of the change in everyone's thoughts, and a smile immediately appeared between his brows.

His facial features were originally hidden by the mask, but just a hint of smile in the corner of his eyes was enough to make people feel inexplicably stunning!

"Chen" turned and left the hall, walking towards the vault inside the bank.

Except for the people in the team, the rest were placed in the hall. The surrounding cameras were also openly blocked.

Without any hesitation, he reached out and took off the mask on his head.

On the camera screen, Huo Mingjie's handsome and perfect facial features suddenly appeared. Even with the previous preparation of his stunning eyebrows and smile, it still made people feel as if their heart stopped and their breathing was stagnant.

Although he was playing a gangster, "Chen" took off his mask and was wearing a shirt and tie, looking gentle and refined.

His handsome and perfect facial features, as well as his calm and gentle temperament, form a sharp contrast with his current identity!
Walking into the bank's vault, most of the safes containing valuables had been broken into.

Jewelry, gold bars, bearer bonds…

These things of incredible value were now piled up casually on the side. One of the gang members was packing them frantically and then throwing them directly down through the tunnel in the vault.

"Chen" walked into the vault, looked at the time, and then said calmly:

"Three minutes left!"

"Boss, but there are still so many safes that haven't been opened!"

Hearing this, "Chen" played by Huo Mingjie took action without saying a word.

Compared to his companions who used mechanical devices they brought in to break the lock violently, "Chen" took direct action and started tinkering with the lock-picking tools he carried with him.

The safe that the bank claimed was the most secure and could not be opened without a key was as unlocked as a lock in his hands.

With a poke and a turn, it was opened in just a few breaths, even faster than his companions who were using mechanical tools to break the lock violently!

Seeing that the agreed time for retreat had come, "Chen" played by Huo Mingjie remained extremely calm and restrained, and immediately stopped and gave the order:
"withdraw!"

The companions took a greedy look at the remaining unopened safes, but finally obeyed "Chen's" orders and reluctantly evacuated from the tunnel.

Before leaving, he used a cabinet to block the entrance of the tunnel, trying to delay time.

Less than ten minutes after they evacuated, officers broke in through the door.

The officer in charge was very experienced. He noticed the brick and stone debris on the ground at a glance and found the entrance to the tunnel.

Looking at the tunnel entrance leading to the sewer, the officer in charge sneered, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to question his subordinates who he had sent out in advance to block the outlet.

However, on the other end of the intercom, the subordinates guarding the sewer outlet sent back a reply that no trace of the criminals was found.

The leading officer's expression suddenly changed...

The literal translation of the name of this movie is "Thieves League", so there is naturally a gang of thieves in it, and the robbery is too unprofessional.

The previous robbery was just to attract attention.

The real method is actually theft!

Digging tunnels to rob a bank feels a bit like the mainland movie "Hot Pot Heroes" a few years later.

But in fact, the prototype of this incident comes from the bank robbery in Rio de Janeiro in 06.

An amateur team consisting of freelance artists, repairmen and thieves planned a perfect case.

On the surface, they pretended to rob, but in fact they dug a tunnel directly to the inside of the bank. While taking hostages to attract outside attention, the team continued to move valuables in the bank.

Then he took advantage of the convenience of the sewers and drilled out from a sewer well somewhere in the city, successfully escaping the police search...

The real prototype is that if one of the team members had not been reported by his wife for cheating on his wife, this amateur team might not have been caught.

By the way, the robber himself later served as the screenwriter and turned this story into a script for a movie!
Because toy guns were used throughout the process and no hostages were injured or killed.

In addition, no one can tell how much the valuables they stole are worth (due to factors such as balance of accounts and anonymous safe deposits being unclaimed), so the sentences for these people were not severe...

Huo Mingjie came here this time, and there were several screenwriters in his entourage. The change of the script in this section was their credit!

Some stars bring screenwriters into the crew just to add more scenes for themselves and completely ignore the work itself. Although Huo Mingjie's behavior is similar, his essence is still for the quality of the film itself.

Compared to the low-brow behavior of robbing a gold shop in the original version, the revised plot did not waste too many shots, but established the character image of "Chen".

Since the movie claims to be about the top thieves teams from China and South Korea gathering together to take action, if one of the sides is too low-class, it will still lower the status of both sides!
-
The scene just filmed was very fast-paced. Only Huo Mingjie, as the undisputed protagonist in the scene, seemed to be so comfortable with it that he didn't even make a single mistake.

Although he is just a thief, his calmness and elegance are still too amazing.

Naturally, there were people in South Korea who were not very convinced that Huo Mingjie, a Chinese, could be the leading actor in the movie.

But no matter how unconvinced they were in their hearts, after seeing Huo Mingjie's acting skills with their own eyes, they could only shut up.

I can't compare with others in background, and I can't compare with others in ability, so what else can I do but lie down and admit defeat?

Huo Mingjie never cared about what these people thought. After all, even if he didn't rely on his acting skills, these people would only dare to be dissatisfied in their hearts.

Compared to others, Cui Dongxun, as a director, feels obviously different!
In order to show the authenticity, the extras in this scene are all Chinese people hired by the crew, not professional actors. Logically speaking, these extras are bound to have problems.

But during the filming just now, the director could even sense the powerful aura emanating from Huo Mingjie, which dominated the filming process at all times.

Under the guidance of Huo Mingjie's aura, everyone involved in the filming was completely immersed in their roles.

He did not simply suppress the performance, but introduced the actors into the play at a higher level, making all the actors present follow his rhythm unconsciously!

Hiss, Mr. Huo's acting skills are really horrible...

And it wasn't just Huo Mingjie's acting skills, his efficiency was beyond the expectations of the Koreans.

The filming was originally scheduled for a day, but after including the time for makeup preparation and reshooting two scenes, it only took half a day.

The filming schedule in South Korea was quite tight. Since they had saved half a day, it was unlikely that they would just let Huo Mingjie go back.

Someone from South Korea came to discuss the matter, and after getting Huo Mingjie's consent, they decisively changed the scene and continued filming the subsequent scenes!
Huo Mingjie's salary this time was really high, which was more than 40 million RMB. In China, only Cheng Long and Li Lianjie could surpass him in salary.

So much money was spent and the script was even changed for Huo Mingjie, so naturally he would concentrate on filming and not complain about anything.

Besides, it would be nice to finish shooting early.

He really couldn't stay in South Korea for too long. After all, even high-level welcoming banquets were held here and pickled vegetables were needed for meetings. Huo Mingjie was afraid that he would become hungry and thin!

Huo Mingjie, who had already finished filming for today, packed up his things and followed the crew to move to another location to continue filming.

After all, it was the first time that they witnessed Huo Mingjie's shooting efficiency. The crew was not even prepared at first. They could only rehearse hurriedly during Huo Mingjie's lunch break, and then contact other actors to add temporary notices.

Before the afternoon shooting, Huo Mingjie had already finished his makeup, and the co-star who was notified at the last minute arrived late.

Kim Tae-hee, who rushed over in a hurry, just arrived at the crew and saw Huo Mingjie sitting next to her, ready to start filming.

Good upbringing and the rules of South Korea made the girl walk up to Huo Mingjie and apologize first.

At the welcoming banquet before, a group of executives from SB Company surrounded him and apologized. Anyway, everyone knew that "Mia Niyo" meant apology.

Huo Mingjie looked up at her, then smiled and said:
"It's okay. The crew is still preparing. And the last-minute change in the shooting schedule must have caused you some trouble. No need to apologize."

Huo Mingjie doesn't speak the Korean language, and the girl on the other side doesn't speak Mandarin, so the only way they can communicate at this time is English.

At the welcoming party, someone mentioned that she was a top student from some university, so her English should be no problem...

But she never expected that after hearing Huo Mingjie's extremely fluent and standard English, the girl's face suddenly froze, she nodded, and then after a long time she uttered a simple "thank you".

She had acted in a Korean TV series before, in which she gave a speech in English, so many people thought that she was good at English.

But in fact, she only learned dumb English, and was even ridiculed by the public for her accent before...

Facing Huo Mingjie at this moment, she could understand what was said, but she was too embarrassed to speak in response. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, and even her ears turned red.

I thought that since they couldn't speak the same language, I was just going through the motions, but I didn't expect Huo Mingjie to actually chat with her in English...

Huo Mingjie was a shrewd man. Seeing that she kept silent and looked a little embarrassed, he made some guesses.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably choose to end the topic because of language problems.

But previous experience has taught Huo Mingjie that language is not an obstacle to communication between people!

"Sit down and rest for a while. It may take a while for the crew to get ready for filming." Huo Mingjie pointed to the chair next to him and continued in English.

Kim Tae-hee couldn't refuse directly, and she was in a dilemma. She could only smile shyly, thank him again in a low voice, and then sat on the chair next to Huo Mingjie and waited.

At this time, Huo Mingjie looked at Jin Tae-hee, whose ears were red but whose face was still dignified. Suddenly, his eyebrows moved and he could not help but continue to ask:
"By the way, do you believe in God?"

Faced with Huo Mingjie's fluent and standard English, the girl inevitably felt a little inferior and was even more embarrassed to speak.

So at this moment she could only temporarily add the settings of "silent" and "trivial with words" to herself, and nodded to Huo Mingjie to express her acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but ask:

"I've read the script. Your role this time is set to be a liar, which is very different from the rules you are supposed to follow."

“So I’m a little curious, when you play this kind of role, do you feel a little bit resistant?”

Just like the sect she believed in, lying and swearing were not allowed, intimate contact before marriage was prohibited, and there were many other taboos.

What a coincidence, it is exactly the opposite of the role she plays this time!

Her role in the movie is a member of a Korean thief team who is responsible for fraud. Then, according to the script, she interacted with "Chen" played by Huo Mingjie for a period of time, and they developed feelings for each other and had a relationship...

It was obvious that Huo Mingjie's question could not be answered by just nodding or shaking his head.

But this is a matter of faith and cannot be avoided.

Jin Taixi slightly became serious, and considered the words in her mind for a while, then looked at Huo Mingjie and answered with the most standard accent possible:
"I'm an actor. No matter what role I play, it's just a job. It doesn't conflict with my beliefs, so I don't mind!"

Well, the accent is not very good, but I can understand it.

Seeing this, Huo Mingjie smiled at her gently, nodded and said:
"I understand."

Well, as long as you start talking, you can communicate normally from now on!
