China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 435: "Nujiang River" starts filming, this guy doesn't look like an actor

A month later, "Wolf Warrior" concluded with a box office of over 600 million yuan.

For a movie with an investment of only 70 million yuan, this result made Li Yuying, the largest behind-the-scenes investor, numb.

This is the joy of making money while lying down.

Wu Jing, who wrote, directed and acted in the film, also won big. Not only did he become popular again, he also gained the identity of a successful director.

Some people advised Wu Jing to strike while the iron is hot and hurry up to produce the sequel to "Wolf Warrior".

Wu Jing has been working with Li Yu for some time.

He saw clearly how vicious Li Yu's vision was.

Li Yu told him that now was not the best time to shoot a sequel and he should wait another two years.

Wu Jing didn't even ask Li Yu why he had to wait for two years.

He only knew that Li Yu would never cheat him.

He had seen with his own eyes how accurate Li Yu's predictions were.

In addition, he also has his own little reasons for wanting to wait two years before filming the sequel.

He served as the assistant director and action director of "Operation Nujiang River" and wanted to catch up with Li Yu on the professional knowledge of directing.

He also knew that "Operation Nujiang" was very similar to "Wolf Warrior" in genre.

For example, Li Yu's "Operation Nujiang" can expand the market for this type of film and make more audiences interested in this type of film.

It's good for his "Wolf Warrior 2".

He has big ambitions and plans to do something big.

As for If You Are the One 3, which wanted to crush Wolf Warrior, it had a box office of over million. It won a little bit at the box office but lost a lot in terms of audience reputation.

Li Yu didn't care much about these, and he didn't want to make fun of Feng Xiaogang who couldn't even beat Wu Jing.

Because to him, Xiao Gangpao is no longer his opponent, he has a more ambitious goal.

In early November, Li Yu flew to Siam with a professional filming team and actors who had been trained for more than a month to shoot.

This is Li Yu's first work in which the overseas scenes are more important than the domestic scenes, and it is also Li Yu's first time to shoot a film abroad for a long time.

In addition to Hualiu Company's professional team and actor team, there was also a special team to protect the safety of Li Yu and his team during the filming. It can be said that it was very impressive.

The scene filmed that day was a scene in which Huang Xiaoming, playing an intelligence agent, captured the henchmen of the local flour boss and forced them to confess.

Since we want to restore the truth, we should of course carry it through to the end.

It is impossible for an undercover intelligence agent in the Black Triangle, who rose from a nobody in such an environment filled with blood and violence, to have a fair face.

Huang Xiaoming got into the Beijing Film Academy with his good looks, but in this movie, his looks are totally unimportant.

Li Yu asked him to sunbathe a month in advance to make the skin on his face and arms darker.

The Black Triangle is a tropical area. It is reasonable that people who have lived here for many years must be darker.

In addition to the skin, Li Yu also let him grow a little beard and used tattoo stickers on his neck.

His outfit didn't need to be particularly unique, just an ordinary black polo shirt, gold earrings on his right ear and a gold necklace on his left hand, which looked both tacky and ostentatious.

The local tyrants here have basically no culture, and this is their aesthetic.

Li Yu did not arrange a plot in which the intelligence agent played by Huang Xiaoming single-handedly captures a villain's subordinate and interrogates him.

That way, chase scenes and action scenes can be shot in a thrilling and exciting way.

However, upon closer inspection, there are flaws. It was too deliberate to capture the villain for no reason and make one of the villain's men disappear.

Li Yu plans to shoot in more depth. The intelligence agent in his script has been completely integrated into the local society and is a local tyrant with some power in the local area.

Without strength, you won't be able to obtain important information on your own.

He designed a plan to make a gangster who participated in the murder of Chinese crew members owe a gambling debt.

There were several other companions who were not involved in the gambling with this thug.

This plot arrangement is more reasonable.

If you just read the text, this little plot is quite long.

In fact, in the movie, the scene where the henchman gambles and gets into debt only has one shot of him gambling in a casino, which may only last for a few seconds.

After that, Huang Xiaoming's younger brother used a voiceover to introduce what they were doing to the audience and the show ended. Movies are not TV series. It is a very difficult technical job to tell a story clearly to the audience with pictures and lines in one or two hours, and it is even more difficult to tell the story in an exciting way.

Every shot and every frame of a good movie is meaningful.

After filming the casino scene, a local kid from Black Triangle ran up to the camera and said in the local language, “Boss, it’s done.”

"Do it."

Huang Xiaoming, who did not show up, responded.

"Crack!"

This shot is over.

But one must be kept.

In the next scene, the intelligence agent played by Huang Xiaoming officially appeared on camera.

This scene was filmed in a very dilapidated house.

Those thugs who owed gambling debts were caught by Huang Xiaoming's men.

Huang Xiaoming, wearing a polo shirt and looking rustic and flamboyant, appeared in front of them: "You lost the bet on my territory and you want to leave without paying?"

One of them gave his family name: "Our eldest brother is Nuo Ka."

There is a reason why I would say such lines.

Nok Ka attacked the Chinese crew members. He has not been caught yet. He is currently the most ruthless person here that no one dares to offend.

His younger brothers will definitely use his name to settle the matter.

The character played by Huang Xiaoming smiled contemptuously and made a gesture, and the younger brother beside him drew his gun and shot, hitting the man's leg.

"what are you doing?"

The three remaining people on the opposite side panicked as they watched their companion kneeling on the ground and wailing in pain.

Without giving them time to react, the guy turned the gun and shot each of the other three without blinking, as if this kind of life was his daily routine.

"I don't care about Nuokamika, you have to lie down on my territory."

Huang Xiaoming's sinister eyes swept across the four frightened faces of them.

This scene only took about a minute in the movie, and Huang Xiaoming didn't move his hands at all.

A character who is cruel, sinister and ruthless is established.

If a Chinese wants to make it in a place like the Black Triangle, he has to be more ruthless than the local bullies.

This scene only lasts one minute in the movie, and the crew of dozens of people spent a whole day shooting it.

Because there is more than one camera position, director Li Yu pays special attention to details, and starting over is commonplace.

Li Yu is not afraid of wasting time at all, because his movie may not bring much other things, but it will definitely make enough money.

The total investment for this "Operation Nujiang River" is 2.5 million yuan, which provides sufficient budget for Li Yu to pursue perfection.

"Director, how was my performance today? Can you let me see the replay?"

Huang Xiaoming put a lot of effort into playing this role well, and even got himself tanned and made himself look ugly.

He really wanted to know what the results were.

Generally speaking, directors don’t show actors playback.

However, Huang Xiaoming is an exception because he has a good relationship with the director and is a relatively big-name actor.

Li Yu satisfied his curiosity and let him watch the replay on the monitor.

"Fuck!"

Huang Xiaoming watched several unedited scenes and was shocked by himself on the monitor.

He looked so ugly on the monitor screen, far from the domineering CEO he loved the most, but his temperament and image were really amazing.

This guy doesn't look like he's acting.

If the person in the picture wasn't facing his face, he would have doubted whether this guy had really been in the Black Triangle.
