The king of all people

Chapter 278 "Infernal Affairs" Completed Perfectly

The filming time in the crew passed quickly.After experiencing successive incidents of wiping guns and casualties in the early days of filming, the crew of the movie "Infernal Affairs" that has attracted much attention from the outside world finally ushered in the closing stage at the end of April.

"Act 133, the second time of the sixth scene, get ready!"

Director Mak Siu-fai's voice sounded on the set, and all the recorders and staff got busy one after another.Today's shooting battle can be said to be the biggest and most energy-consuming one since the filming started.It was necessary to shoot the high (he) scene where Chen Yongren was shot and Liu Jianming regained his heart around the elevator of the office building. The scene layout alone took the crew three days.

Specially hired police officers used a blue and white cordon to enclose a distance of 30 meters near the office building, and even all the personnel on the business floors above the elevator were evacuated.There is no way. Although all the bullets in the crew have been replaced with props, they are still dangerous after multiple superimpositions. It is irresponsible for the personal safety of outsiders not to clear the vicinity.

In addition, in order to present the most exquisite camera effects, the guard characters in this scene are all golden supporting roles personally selected by the two directors. Compared with the special forces who played the police before, their fighting skills may be weaker, but they are more professional. is better.

In the previous life, in the movie "Infernal Affairs", there was an obvious gangbang scene that ruined the overall atmosphere... A secondary actor was too nervous when filming the life and death scene of the elevator, and actually forgot the script when Liu Jianming walked out of the elevator. Pointing at him stupidly with his fingers, he forgot about the gun props on his waist...

This scene has been judged by the audience as the top ten funny moments of Hong Kong film classics for many years.Li Xian glanced at the second director Mai and Liu in surprise. Unexpectedly, they became more cautious after reliving their lives.

This scene is divided into two small clips. The first clip is that Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren walk together into the elevator room where the mystery is hidden. This clip has been filmed once before, but at that time Andy Lau read a line, and it started after sorting it out. made a second recording.

"Hua Zai, I wish us a perfect ending~!" Li Xian and Andy Lau clapped powerfully together.In fact, the two protagonists don't have too many rivalries in the play, and today's closing stage is a rare fight between them.

The light in the fully enclosed elevator is quite different from the natural daylight outside, but it is just right for the upcoming torture scene.The scene control masters of the drama logistics team shot a few dim yellow lights, which added an indescribable sense of mystery to the elevator room.

Preliminary work is all ready...

With the experience of the first NG, the direction of everyone's operation is obviously much clearer.

"Action!" Liu Weiqiang ordered, and the slate fell down.The main camera set up on the pivotal platform began to rotate, gradually focusing on the relationship between Li Xian and Andy Lau...

There was nothing unusual on Li Xian's face, even though there was already a huge wave in his heart.The big brother Hei who instigated him behind the scenes arranged an urgent task for him, but in front of him...while the camera was swinging, his difficult micro-expression of moving his eyes and brows won the unanimous approval of Mai and Liu.

"Sure enough, he is a new film star. This level of strength is really tight..."

On the other hand, Andy Lau's performance was relatively weak.It's not that his acting skills are not as good as Li Xian's. After all, he is already in his 40s, and his performance often feels powerless.Li Xian, who was standing beside him, also noticed this, and felt a little strange in his heart...

In the original version of "Infernal Affairs" in the previous life, Andy Lau played the role of Liu Jianming that he is playing now, and Chen Yongren, the "miserable" character, was played by another actor, Liang Chaowei.

I have to say that Andy Lau seems to be more suitable for the role of Liu Jianming than Chen Yongren, who ended up dying.That kind of forbearance that accumulates energy and bursts out, that kind of unwillingness and helplessness of suffering, all of which are interpreted by him with a strong personal flavor.

Perhaps because of preconceptions, I saw Andy Lau who used to play Liu Jianming is now playing his natural "rival" Chen Yongren... Although the acting is still good, it just lacks such a flavor.Speaking of it, this full sense of disobedience can be traced to the reason why I suddenly "appeared".

……

The iron door of the elevator closed slowly. Due to the small space, the crew specially installed a pinhole camera inside to record the silent footage of the two people walking in the elevator.

About 5 minutes later, the two men finished their negotiations on the roof, and the moment the elevator door opened, Lin Guoping, the gangster played by Lin Jiadong, shot Chen Yongren in the head with a "bang" before the two were unprepared.

Andy Lau slowly fell to the ground with his unbelievable eyes wide open at the moment the ketchup exploded. This scene looked extremely funny in the eyes of other staff members, but from the perspective of Li Xian who was caught in the plot, it was only a few seconds. Zhong, enough to be regarded as one of the most shocking moments since filming for more than two months.

Those are a pair of eyes that would rather die than submit, that is an unbelievable look...

Li Xian was stunned. At this moment, he completely became the undercover Liu Jianming who was assigned to the police station.Seeing the only working "partner" Chen Yongren who knew about the matter fell into the "pool of blood", the whole person fell into a blank.

"Good! Good!" Not only the two directors, but even the staff standing by couldn't help admiring. They shook their bodies, and the expressions on their faces instantly became extremely exciting.This middle-aged and young man is simply showing his acting skills in Chi Guoguo!
He slowly stretched out his hand, touched the face that was gradually losing its color, and finally realized one thing... The person in front of him, the person who was talking to him just now—is dead.

Ah!
A heart-piercing howl erupted from his hard and broad chest. In the next second, amidst Lin Jiadong's insane laughter, Li raised the pistol recklessly, and pressed the trigger button with a snap!
At this time, Mai Zhaohui hurriedly signaled to the police actors who were preparing to continue to dispatch.Fortunately, everyone's efficiency was good. After rushing for a while, they finally didn't miss the superb shooting scene that Li Xian worked so hard to create.

"CUT!" The two directors came out from behind the surveillance cameras, their hands still warm from the rubbing of the camera.If it weren't for the long-term blockade of roads that would cause public protests, they would definitely not be willing to break the wonderful performance of these two people who have brought the script to life.
