Glory of Rebirth 1989
Chapter 4
Since he decided to follow the right path, he naturally had something to do. What Lin Yao was most interested in was his career in his previous life. In 1989, Hong Kong's film industry had not yet declined. The film industry was a good means of money laundering, and the forces of all parties were also intricate.
Xiang Jia invested in several films and tasted the sweetness, and intends to start a film company to bleach and launder money.Lin Yao told him his thoughts, Xiang Qiang didn't know that Lin Yao was from a professional class in his previous life, he just thought he wanted to play tickets, and it coincided with the opening of "New Best Partner" in New Art City, he wanted him to bring some brothers to do martial arts. Okay, take a look and learn some tricks to prepare for the future.
Speaking of Hong Kong movies, I have to mention martial arts movies. At this time, action movies are popular. In the shooting of many movies or TV series, it is necessary to take into account the completion of fighting, hoisting, explosion, riding or some difficult movements. When the effect or the actors are safe, there will be special personnel to complete the above work. The people who do these work are called Wu Xing. They are usually the actor's stand-in, or they may directly play a certain role on camera.The Jianghu people have practiced a little bit of boxing, and sometimes they do martial arts in the film crew to earn income to support their families. When someone makes trouble, Wu Xing usually stands up and acts as a guard.Sammo Hung and his younger brothers Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao were engaged in martial arts work back then.
Lin Yao, who was born in Beijing Film Academy, has a deep impression on New Arts City. "New Arts City" is a legend of Hong Kong movies. It consists of Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei and Teddy Robin The seven-person creative team has produced many blockbuster films. It borrowed from 007's "Grand Thief Comedy Series" Best Partner series to break Hong Kong's box office records for three consecutive years. It has been popular for ten years from 1980 to 1990. At its heyday, it was in full swing. The old oligarch Shaw Brothers and Jiahe joined forces to fight against New Art City.The crew to be stationed this time is the last film of the best partner of the new art city ace production.
The night before joining the group, it happened to be the birthday of Mei Yanfang, the rumored girlfriend of Xiang Qiang's brother Xiang Huasheng. cooked.
When Lin Yao arrived at Tyrannosaurus, there were quite a few people in the private room, and Uncle Xiang grabbed Lin Yao's hand, "Yaozai, let me introduce the birthday star to you." After that, he pointed to the bright woman on the sofa who was about to get up, "This is today It’s the birthday queen Mei.” Lin Yao bowed and saluted, “Happy birthday to Queen Mei.”
Mei Yanfang got up, looked Lin Yao up and down, and said to Xiang Qiang: "I heard you said many times that Yaozi is very good at fighting, but who knows that he looks so good. If he entered the performing arts industry at the beginning, he might not be able to fight now." It's been a big hit for a long time." At the same time, he held Lin Yao's other hand and smiled, "Why be so polite, I've been friends with you Xiang Shu for many years, today I'm going to ask you to call me Aunt Mei."
"Aunt Mei~." Lin Yao used his three-inch tongue in the social arena, coaxing Mei Yanfang to smile, and volunteered to be a middleman, leading Lin Yao to know everyone in the arena one by one.
"This bald guy is Mai Jia, who has always been extremely smart. This is director Liu of New Art City, this is Xu Guanjie from the Xu family, and this handsome guy is Cary, you call him Uncle Rong..."
Hearing about Cary, Lin Yao couldn't help but look at his student idol twice more.Cary, whose full name is Zheng Shaorong, is one of the representatives of the Hong Kong film industry and record industry. He has an elegant and perfect appearance and a free and unrestrained life. At the peak of his career, he made a move that was regarded as a blatant challenge to social ethics in the conservative Chinese circle- ---Frankly coming out of the closet and admitting that he is gay, Zheng Shaorong's career has been greatly affected since then, and seven years after coming out of the closet, he suffered from depression and jumped from the tallest building in Hong Kong, leaving fans all over the place with heartbroken blood and tears.Perhaps art is always best when it is lost. After his death, the Chinese media reversed the previous negative evaluation and kept rebroadcasting his classic movies, and gradually made it an annual practice to rebroadcast classics on the anniversary of his death.
Compared with the restrained and elegant man in the commemorative topic of the imperial court after his death.At this time, he didn't seem to be so melancholy after he matured his acting skills and put aside his appearance and devoted himself to disfigurement. He wore a fashionable ducktail hair and wore very tasteful British fashion. With a handsomeness between teenagers and youths.
Zheng Shaorong, who has been paying attention to this side, also stood up and shook hands with Lin Yao, and pointed to Mei Yanfang with a smile, "You are a few years older than Yaozi, so I am sorry to let people call you Aunt Mei, Yaozi ignores her, call me elder brother Well, although I don't mix in the world, I have long admired the reputation of Xinyi'an Red Stick Yaozi."
Lin Yao knew that it was just a polite remark, so he quickly grabbed Zheng Shaorong's unexpectedly strong right hand and replied, "The little names in the world are all supported by brothers, now I have quit the club, and I will only follow the right path with peace of mind, Brother Rong, don't mention it anymore. "
After the greetings, everyone sang, drank and had a good time, and encouraged the birthday star to sing a few songs, and the scene was hot for a while.It's just that Uncle Xiang's expression was not very good, and he kept whispering something to the brothers beside him, but from a distance, he could only hear his tone a bit hurried, Aunt Mei seemed to be persuading him, but before Lin Yao went to ask, he saw Uncle Xiang "crack " smashed a glass on the ground, and the private room fell silent for a moment, and Uncle Xiang's voice became clear and audible, "That rebellious boy, he doesn't know how much he weighs when he is popular, and he doesn't even look at the big names. Look at what you were originally!"
Lin Yao hurriedly picked up the brandy on the table to try to persuade him: "Calm down to Uncle Xiang, anger hurts your liver, no matter who you are rebellious, don't get angry."
Xiang Qiang took it all in one hand, pushed away Mei Yanfang who was still trying to excuse someone, and said to the brothers beside him: "You take a few people and go get him. You don't have to bring them to see me." , Let him kneel at the gate of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and let everyone who passes by have a look, I can make him popular, and I can also make him penniless!"
After the incident just now, affected by the evil spirits of the gangsters, the atmosphere in the private room went down for a while, and everyone was not as happy as before, those who drank did not dare to make noise, and those who sang did not dare to speak loudly, so Mei Yanfang had to come out to play Guo Zheng Shaorong sang a song "Rouge Button" that the two became popular last year to open the scene.
The two sang like the sounds of nature, but Lin Yao paid more attention to Brother Rong. After all, this was the first time he heard a former idol sing live. When Zheng Shaorong became popular, he was still young, and he waited until Lin Yao grew up. , he no longer wantonly swayed the stars on this stage.His voice is different, with a deep bass and a sense of affection, especially when he sings Cantonese songs, he is so affectionate, even if he listens to the tape, he seems to be the person in the song.
Qu Bi, even though everyone present was inside the circle, they couldn't help but thunderous applause, the tense atmosphere eased a little bit, and the new best partner heroine Li Zhi couldn't help booing softly, feeling relieved.Unexpectedly, the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, and after a while, he came back to tell the person who was sent out by force, "Brother, the matter has been settled, and now the kid is kneeling at the door to repent."Everyone was very curious about who would dare to refute Brother Xinyi'an's face, and their eyes could not help but drift outside the door, but because the person involved was here, they did not dare to act rashly.
Xiang Qiang nodded slightly, completely unable to see the angry appearance not long ago, looked up and looked around the faces of the people in the private room, and said with a smile: "Original family ugliness should not be publicized, this is my internal help in Xinyi'an, but since you are so curious, Why don't you come with me to meet this ignorant kid." He took the lead and walked out the door.
Already recalling this story, Lin Yao, who guessed who was kneeling outside the door, shouted in his heart, "I don't want to go, I don't want to go, but I still have to follow behind Xiang Qiang without showing my face.
Xiang Qiangming brought a stool to his subordinates, sat on the chair and looked at the watch, and waited for half an hour before getting up and walking slowly to Liu Hua, squatting down, and patted the other side of the face, "Are you aware of your mistake?"
"...I know I'm wrong" The man kneeling on the ground lowered his head deeply and responded in a low voice.
"If you know you're wrong, get out and celebrate the birthday boy!" Seeing that he still didn't move, Xiang Qiang kicked the man flying a meter away, and the head that had been buried deep was also kicked upside down, exposing it to everyone in front of you.
I knew it!I knew it!Seeing the man collapsed in the hall, the villain in Lin Yao's heart already wanted to help his forehead and fall to the ground. Who would have thought that 20 years later, the golden horse actor, the golden statue actor and Asian king Liu Hua would also kneel in front of the public when people give pointers.
Liu Hua really wanted to lift his clothes to cover his face at this moment so that no one would see him. He had rushed three nights in a row and finally had time to rest in the afternoon. He overslept for a while and forgot Mei Yanfang's birthday invitation. Dude is so humiliating.His hands were tucked into his sleeves, clenched into fists, and his nails went deep into the flesh without feeling pain.
When Lin Yaozheng didn't know how to deal with this farce, a group of people poured in from the entrance of the hall. Most of these people were wearing simple vests, showing colorful tattoos all over their bodies. Slightly fat, with thinning hair, his small eyes narrowed slightly, making him look even smaller. These small eyes scanned the situation in the hall, and signaled his subordinates to lift up Liu Hua who was lying on the ground with his eyes, and stretched his arms towards Qiang Qiang. Walking over quickly, he spoke in not-so-standard Cantonese: "It's been a long time since I came to Hong Kong, I didn't expect Xiang Sang to still be so majestic, hahaha."
Xiang Qiang's facial expression has become solemn since the pedestrians appeared, and he also went forward to hug the man, with a friendly face on the surface, but everyone could see from the tense bodies of both sides that this was not the case.This turbulent hug lasted about 5 minutes before they parted. Judging from the man's slightly trembling body, it was obvious that the previous rivalry had fallen short.
With a victorious smile, Xiang Qiang patted the man's shoulder, "Mr. Watanabe doesn't pay attention to the battle for the leadership of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I'm afraid it's not a good intention to come to Hong Kong at this time." After saying that, he beckoned Lin Yao to come over, "Yaozai, come here, This is Mr. Yoshitaka Watanabe, the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and I don’t want to say hello to Mr. Watanabe.” After Lin Yao greeted him, Xiang Qiang pointed to Lin Yao as Yoshitaka Watanabe and introduced, “This is my nephew Yaozai, who made me It's a great Xingyiquan, let him compete with your nephew of Beichen's Yidao style someday."
After chatting for a while, Xiang Qiang asked Mei Yanfang to take them to play by themselves, since the original intention of introducing everyone in New Art City had been achieved, and brought Lin Yao and Watanabe Fang to open another private room. Living on the side of the aisle, Lin Yao wanted to come in together, but was stopped by Watanabe Fang, "I have something important to discuss with your elder brother. There are so many brothers at the door, and you will not be harmed by Uncle Xiang." The boss came into the room for a private talk.They didn't know what to discuss in the private room, and they didn't come out for a long time. Lin Yao had drank some wine and got anxious for a while, so he asked the brothers guarding the door to be more alert, and went to the bathroom.
Walking along the long corridor to the bathroom at the corner, before Lin Yao entered, he heard a hurried male voice shouting, "Shaorong must listen to my explanation, this matter is really not what you saw."
"I don't want to tell you." Another male voice sounded weak, but that special voice still made Lin Yao recognize Zheng Shaorong who was in the same private room as him just now.
"Shaorong, as a key account manager of Standard Chartered Bank, entertainment is inevitable. Ms. Li and I are only in a customer relationship. I will help her when she is drunk, and nothing else."
"Not only this time, but many times you smelled of women's perfume. I didn't say anything. Qi's mother talked to me about your business needing the support of the Li family. You already had the idea of a blind date, and you agreed with it. Love child, I can't give you an aboveboard love affair, I can't give you a continuation of the incense, I have given you many opportunities after so many separations and reunions, but you always revert to your old ways. If you don't take my sincerity seriously, there is nothing in this world People can take your place, thank you for being with me in the past, this time we really should spend some time apart."
"Shaorong, Shaorong, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, okay? We have been together for so many years, we are used to each other's existence, so many times you said you want to break up, and you still come back to me in the end? Even if I get married After getting married and having a child, I still love you, so why don't we continue like this?"
"Mr. Zhang, if you want to live that kind of life, then you can find your own lovely wife and daughter. I will not accompany you. I forced this relationship from the beginning. Now I want to... let go, let go!" Lin Yao Hearing this, I already understand that this is probably another male protagonist, Mr. Zhang, who caused Zheng Shaorong's coming out of the closet in the legends of later generations. Fearing that there might be a physical conflict, he hurriedly pushed the door and entered, and three people were squeezed into the not spacious room. A man, looking very small.The Mr. Zhang in Brother Rong's words was grabbing his arm tightly and dragging him into his arms. The forced person was obviously not happy, his face was flushed with anger, and his body was struggling violently. This posture did not reflect it.
Lin Yao stepped forward to help Zheng Shaorong break free from his arms, and said, "Brother Rong, Mr. Zhang, this is still a public place, it's not good to make too much noise, you two, please calm down."
"Who are you? I'm talking to Shaorong, so there's no room for you to intervene." Mr. Zhang was resentful of being given a chance by an outsider to save his lover. He raised his hand and wanted to push Lin Yao away, but Lin Yao's foot was firm and he refused repeatedly Move, the opponent rushes his head angrily, like a bull fighting for a spouse, he punches and strikes.Lin Yao raised his hand to catch Mr. Zhang's fist, and moved forward along the force, and he staggered and slammed himself into the wall.
"Ade!..." Zheng Shaorong, who was held by Lin Yao, was obviously still quite concerned about this "former" lover, and couldn't help calling out.In fact, Lin Yao didn't use much force, he could see Mr. Zhang stabilized himself, and swallowed the rest of the words, with a trace of remorse on his face, I don't know if it was because he couldn't let go, or something else?
Mr. Zhang stabilized his figure, knowing that he was invincible. A pair of dark eyes looked directly at Zheng Shaorong, with an expression of affection and pain on his face, and said slowly: "Shaorong...give me another chance."
"..." Maybe it was a little soft-hearted, Zheng Shaorong turned his head away so as not to look at him, and then let out the harsh words: "Mr. Zhang, now I just want to say goodbye to you."
Uncomfortable by the weird aura in the room, Lin Yao tried to change the subject: "Aunt Mei's birthday, Brother Rong, as an old friend, it's not easy to leave for a long time, why don't I send Brother Rong back."
Zheng Shaorong looked a little embarrassed, and wanted to use Lin Yao to leave here, so he followed Lin Yao and him to leave the small bathroom, leaving another lovelorn man still calling Shaorong in the bathroom, but it was just calling, maybe he had concerns , not chasing out.
Zheng Shaorong heard the voice of Shaorong, and there was still a trace of hope, he stood at the door of the bathroom and hesitated for a while, seeing that the man hadn't come out, and the hope finally disappeared, with a bit of determination, he held Lin Yao back hands, ran wildly in the corridor, as if to escape from this person, this relationship.
"Thank you." Zheng Shaorong stood in front of the private room door, thanking Lin Yao, with a sullen expression on his face, "I'm sorry, Yaozi, I let you see a joke."
"Brother Rong, you're welcome, I didn't see anything today." Lin Yao approached Zheng Shaorong and straightened his crooked bow tie. "It's life to be sad, and life to be happy. Brother Rong should be happier." After tidying up, he stepped back After looking at it for a while, he said, "Well, Zheng Tianwang is still handsome and unstoppable." Remembering that he had been away from Uncle Xiang for too long, he turned around and wanted to leave.
After walking a certain distance, he turned around and saw Zheng Shaorong was still watching him at the door, Lin Yao opened his mouth and smiled, stretched out his hands and waved, "Actually, the pain passed at that time, and there will be someone else soon, brother Rong's charm is endless." This time, I was almost fascinated." Seeing that Zheng Shaorong was also smiling, he hurried to Xiangqiang's private room.
When Lin Yao returned to Xiang Shu's private room, Watanabe Fang had already left, Xiang Shu was the only one left in the private room to drink by himself, as if he was thinking about something, so he sat down beside Xiang Qiang, with some curiosity. Asked, "I know I shouldn't ask, but the Yamaguchi-gumi boss is coming to Hong Kong at this time, is there something big going on?"
Xiang Qiang picked up the small wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Japanese sake is so tasteless, and you are not an outsider. This time, Watanabe Fang came to Hong Kong just to cooperate with us and get the supply from Southeast Asia. To get more qualifications for myself in the "Yamaichi Rebellion", to compete for the fifth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and at the same time launder part of the club funds he has in our pockets, and you can go to Japan to talk about money laundering on my behalf someday This issue."
3. Cooperation in the first play...
On the second day after the birthday party, everyone in the crew paid homage to various gods to ask for blessings, and the new best partner officially started.The story describes the cultural relics of the terracotta warriors and horses in Xi'an and the Qin Wangjian were exhibited abroad at the end of 1988. Unexpectedly, the cultural relics were stolen on the way to Hong Kong. After the incident, Zheng Shaorong and Li Zhi pretended to be the best partners and snatched the Qin Wangjian. Mai Jia became the person pursued by the Hong Kong police, while the mainland police sent martial arts masters to Hong Kong to recover the lost property.
Director Liu Jialiang intentionally placed martial arts and indoor scenes at the top, so the first scene was filmed in the scene where the mainland master fights with Xu Guanjie in the office to recover cultural relics. The actor Li Yuanba who plays the mainland master looks very similar to Jackie Chan, not only physically His muscles are bulging, and his martial arts skills are also very good. Some people in the crew joked that he might as well be Jackie Chan's stand-in.The king Kong played by Xu Guanjie sat in the office and pretended to discuss business. Li Yuanba, who was wearing a black tunic suit, walked in, grabbed Xu Guanjie and asked if he was related to the theft of the terracotta warriors. Xu Guanjie refused to admit it, and the two staged a martial arts fight.
Because there is not enough space for the indoor play, in order to make the fight more intense, Liu Jialiang set up a wooden half wall of about 1.8 meters beside the desk. The two of them punched and kicked on this half wall very smoothly. However, no one noticed that the wooden board under their feet had been so broken that the retaining springs began to loosen. After Xu Guanjie jumped off, the wooden board fell down without warning, and Li Yuanba, who was still standing on the wooden board, lost his balance. Staying at the vital point, rolling forward with the least damage and falling to the ground, everyone on the set still heard the "click" sound, and hurriedly gathered around to ask Li Yuanba about his injury.
Li Yuanba broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he moved his elbow, and said: "Maybe the upper arm is broken, Director Liu is sorry, I may need to quit this drama."
The director's complexion is not good, and this kind of thing happened in the first scene on the first day of filming, which is not a good omen. Moreover, the production time of the Hong Kong film industry is very short at this time, and it is not uncommon for a drama to be completed in less than a month. For some things, it hurts for a hundred days. For this unimportant small role, it is really not worthwhile to drag down the progress of the crew. Now it is too late to find actors. New Arts City was in charge. As a low-budget film, Liu Jialiang felt that the pears were too big, so he had to find someone from martial arts to fight for him.Martial arts have martial arts skills, and there is no shortage of muscular men. This role does not require much acting skills, as long as it is righteous from beginning to end.It's a pity that the people in the world are more or less ruffian and fierce. If it is suitable to play a club member, what about the Chinese public security....
Liu Jialiang looked at all the martial arts and thought for a long time. It seems that only Lin Yao who is sitting by the side is the most suitable. Lin Yao also intends to play this small role to recall some feelings from his previous life. The two hit it off immediately and reshot the scene just now. Reinforce the wooden wall that caused the accident.Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lin Yao, who has never acted before, has a strong sense of position and camera sense. He only needs to look at the camera position to know what to do next to show the best effect. There is no NG After going through all his scenes at once, it was Xu Guanjie who dragged Lin Yao down a few times.
After filming this one, Lin Yao was a little short of breath. He took the drink from his younger brother Lin Wei and sat next to the director to watch his performance on the monitor. Liu Jialiang seemed very happy, and slapped Lin Yao's back with one hand. up, nearly choking him.
"I used to say that you can play, but today I have seen a good skill. I have been in the industry for many years, and I have never seen a newcomer for the first time. I have never had an NG. It is a pity that you have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years."
Lin Yao gulped down half a bottle of drink, and after his breath calmed down, he said modestly, "Before when I was young, I only thought that being in the rivers and lakes was majestic. When I was older, I realized that majesty can last for a few years. It is better to live in peace. I didn't expect that." Seeing that I can perform so well, I can only say that God rewarded me with another meal."
After chatting for a while, the next scene soon began, which was still Lin Yao's indoor scene.
Losing by force, Xu Guanjie turned around and ran away, because Lin Yao didn't hit women, so he kept his secretary and girlfriend to hold Lin Yao back, in order to delay the time, his girlfriend did everything possible.Holding legs, pulling clothes, etc., Lin Yao's outer pants were pulled down, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin and well-proportioned legs. The funniest thing is that when Lin Yao lifted his pants, his girlfriend saw that the legs could not be hugged and pulled the top Unexpectedly, too much force was applied, and the jacket was torn in half, revealing the four characters on the back: "serve the country with loyalty"
"Cut!" Liu Jialiang was even more excited, "It's another one, Yaozi, do you intend to sign a contract with an agency? I have a friend..."
Lin Yao tore off the costume that had been torn in half, waved his hand to stop Liu Jialiang's words, and let the makeup artist wipe off the paint on his back. Without looking away, I looked up and saw Zheng Shaorong was also looking at him. I smiled back and said, "Actually, I didn't consider becoming an artiste. Uncle Xiang also has several economic companies. I can only thank Director Liu for his kindness."
The filming went smoothly throughout the morning, all the shots of the office scenes had been filmed, and the crew had eaten their boxed lunches before moving on to the next scene.
In this scene, Golden Horse actor Danny Lee Soo-hsien played a cameo role as a Hong Kong client who was caught and shot by a prostitute in the mainland. He was tied to the execution post and shouted: "Please shoot on time, I must be shot to death", but he was still shot. He scratched his right chest, fell down and became annoyed: "What's your number, are you so inaccurate?..." That "number" simply picked up the pistol and went up, bang, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah... New and old The four best partners were put on Chinese tunic suits and heavy wooden shoes, and shot the shots of prisoners cooking in the rain.Liu Jialiang commanded the high-pressure water gun faucet to drench everyone. It was February at this time. Although it was not too cold because of Hong Kong's geographical location, Zheng Shaorong still shivered several times. Putting on dry clothes didn't stop it either.Lin Yao hurriedly ordered Lin Wei to cook some ginger soup with cola and handed it to Zheng Shaorong.
Zheng Shaorong stretched out his hand to take it, feeling the temperature of the hot soup in the palm of his hand, it seemed that the whole person became warmer, and said with a smile, "Counting this time, you have helped me twice, why don't you go to Xuji to drink tea together some other day, thank you very much .”
"It's just a little effort, brother Rong invites you, how dare you refuse." Lin Yao readily agreed, watched Zheng Shaorong and drank the ginger soup before continuing to the next game.
The production team is progressing very quickly, but after more than ten days, there are only a few scenes left to be filmed. Among them is the last scene in the warehouse where they fight to regain the terracotta warriors and horses. The multi-person fight scene was originally directed by the director Good subject matter, but the effect always looks chaotic. If the previous shots set the comedy tone of the new best partner, then this last fight turned the comedy into a farce. Liu Jialiang was not satisfied with many shots , The progress that has been going smoothly has been delayed for a while.Feeling the predicament of the crew, all the leading actors gathered in front of the monitor to watch the previous NG, brainstorming, but they didn't know how to change the current predicament.
Lin Yao didn't want to be the first bird at first, but he had to interject, "Director Liu, I think...maybe we can appropriately reduce the scenes of some people, make the scenes more tense, focus on certain key shots, and develop the fighting scenes in the direction of violent aesthetics." "Aesthetics of violence? Tell me about Yaozai." Although he didn't think a newcomer could offer any useful suggestions, Liu Jialiang politely expressed his curiosity.
"Yes, for example, last year's The True Colors of Heroes, which developed the beauty of gunfights to a dazzling degree, and now Hong Kong fighting movies focus more on real fighting skills, and the aesthetics of violence pays more attention to the sense of form and details, making the fighting appear dance-like. , poetic and performative."
Hearing about John Woo, the originator of violent aesthetics who once served in New Arts City, and later went out to set up his own company, the movie Heroes, everyone in New Arts City looked very unhappy. Last year, they competed with Heroes for the box office list, and New Arts City was defeated.They are not willing to admit John Woo and his ideology, but the box office is the last word. At this time, John Woo has not systematically sorted out the essence of his violent aesthetics. He was truly famous and known to the world in 1994 in Hong Kong. After the recession of the movie, he made several blockbusters in Hollywood.
Seeing the director's expression, Lin Yao thought that his purely theoretical suggestion could not be expressed in detail, so he took the memo pad and ballpoint pen in the cutscene recorder's hand, and drew a few sub-shots "For example, when the ancient Qin Emperor sword was chopped down, There are no sundries in the lens, only its sharp edge is highlighted, zoom in and zoom out with slow motion..."
Liu Jialiang thought for a long time, and after discussing with Mai Jia and Xu Guanjie, he finally let go, "You can try it. I didn't expect Yaozai and you to dabble in movies. No wonder you didn't make any mistakes when you moved."
"Uh..." Lin Yao was at a loss for words for a while, and could only use his head to talk rationally, "Where, where, before joining the group, I hugged my feet temporarily and watched a little bit. People in the Jianghu always pay attention to the fight scenes in Jianghu movies. "Lin Yao, who managed to get the topic back, didn't dare to talk anymore, and Liu Jialiang also arranged not to mention it. The final editing effect was quite different from the previous one. The fighting scenes became tense and rhythmic, which saved the film. The film was later criticized by film critics as its biggest failure.
The next scene was at the pier. The crew needed to set up the location and staff, and give the leading actor a half-day break. Zheng Shaorong had made an appointment with Lin Yao to drink tea before, but because he was in a hurry, he couldn't make the trip, so he simply took this break. A car went to Xuji together.
Not long after arriving at Xu Ji, Lin Yao found that Zheng Shaorong was obviously a frequent visitor here, and the waiter had already greeted him when he entered the door, "Zhang Sheng, our teahouse has just imported a batch of high-quality Tieguanyin from Anxi in mainland China. Do you want to try it?"
Zheng Shaorong didn't need the guidance of his attendants at all, he led Lin Yao upstairs to find an empty seat and sat down before saying to the waiter who had been following him all the time, "Serve some old-fashioned refreshments, and make a pot of the Tieguanyin you mentioned just now." Come on, remember to use white porcelain." The waiter responded, and quickly brought tea trays and snacks and retreated, Lin Yao looked at Zheng Shaorong's side face as he poured water to wash the cup and poured tea, mixed the sandalwood ordered by the teahouse, and the bamboo curtain Through the mottled light and shadow, the atmosphere is extremely peaceful and quiet, and there is an unrealistic illusion like going back in time. It seems that the person in front of him has a sense of detachment out of thin air, and the next moment he will be detached and fly away. I want to keep this beauty.Can't help calling softly. "Brother Rong..."
"Huh?" Zheng Shaorong, who was concentrating on performing the tea ceremony, raised his head upon hearing the sound, and handed the teacup to Lin Yao by the way.
"Has Mr. Zhang pestered Brother Rong again recently?" Lin Yao, who couldn't find anything to talk about, took the teacup with both hands, and asked an inappropriate question.
Zheng Shaorong took a cup and sniffed the fragrance of tea lightly, somewhat dispirited, "I have called a few times, because I have been rushing to the set, but I didn't receive it. I only saw the message when I got home."
"What does Brother Rong mean?" Lin Yao was a little uneasy.
Zheng Shaorong gave Lin Yao a strange look before slowly saying, "People in the world only know that my family background is good, but they don't know that my family relationship is weak, and my father's career is going from bad to worse. He sent me to England to learn textiles, hoping to rebuild the family business. It's a pity that I don't like this. The group really didn’t have any interest, so they ran back to Hong Kong to participate in the singing contest and made their debut, because of this, they had a falling out with their father and were cut off from financial aid.”
He paused at this point, "When I was in a lawsuit because of a contract, it was also the time when the economy was the worst. It was really desperate. It's a pity that the young man refused to turn around and admit defeat with the elders. Zhang Sheng is my brother Qi, He borrowed my salary for several months to help me overcome difficulties, eat lunch by myself, and connect me with contacts. At that time, I thought—there is probably no one in this world who treats me so well. I just want to grasp this warmth. But The person who speaks first in a relationship is probably not so important. The initial infatuation, now all that is left is to endure, to endure him being between Miss Li and me. You have seen it before, and I gave him a chance when I walked out of the bathroom , but he was worried about his future and reputation, and I was on the set, but I only heard a phone call for a future visit in the next ten days, and I didn't want to give him any expectations. Good man, it's just that I can't keep it, Miss Li is very lucky." He said that his voice gradually faded at the end, especially the last sentence was almost inaudible, and it was more like self-hypnotic repetition.
Lin Yao just drank tea in silence and listened to him, his heart was slightly sour. He felt that his feelings had gradually changed during these days of contact, but it was difficult to distinguish whether it was love or just idol worship left over from the previous life, so he could only suppress himself.I thought that if I hadn't intervened that night, the final outcome of that quarrel might have been reconciliation. They continued to have such ambiguous entanglements, or returned to the light, or returned to the underground.It wasn't until the leap 14 years later that he was freed.
Before I knew it, two or three hours had passed, and it was Zheng Shaorong who kept talking about the past, everything about him and Zhang Sheng in the past, as if he wanted to pour out all these troubles, and not pretend to be in his heart, so that he could forget quickly in the future.Perhaps because he realized that he had talked too much for too long, Zheng Shaorong smiled embarrassedly at Lin Yao, and said, "I wanted to thank you, so I asked you to come out to drink tea and relax, but I didn't expect you to become a trash can for my worries, so thank you very much." You are willing to listen, and I owe you a favor."
"..." Lin Yao was silent for a while before forcing a smile, "Brother Rong always treats me as a stranger and thank you politely. I'm a little tired today, so I won't be with Brother Rong."
Zheng Shaorong saw that Lin Yao's face was indeed tired, and said, "Yu Tsai has been filming martial arts recently, he really should have a good rest." So they went home separately to prepare for the next day's scenes.
The second day was the last set of shots. After shooting this set, the new best partner will be wrapped up. Lin Yao's first big screen experience will also come to an end. Everyone rushed to the pier early to prepare.
After the old and new best partners helped China Lanbo regain the Qinhuangdao sword, they sent Lanbo back to the mainland with the Hong Kong police. When Lin Yao boarded the ship and waved, Li Zhi, Zheng Shaorong, Xu Guanjie, and Mai Jia were wearing the uniforms of the mainland police. Holding the red treasure book in their hands, they stepped forward and appeared, shouting slogans: "It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich!" Standing in a row, they danced a neat "loyalty dance" in the majestic The marching song sang: "Without money, there is no tomorrow. Look at the money, don't look left and right. New China, please don't force me to go, I don't want to immigrate, go, foreign, foreign country!"...
This one is still very smooth. From the perspective of mainlanders, it is the most hilarious scene in the whole film. It is a pity that Lin Yao couldn't laugh. Looking at the excited crowd because of the filming, he greeted Zheng Shaorong and the crew, pretending to be unwell, and politely declined. After finishing the banquet, he turned and left the set.
The author has something to say: Sure enough, he is still not used to writing about normal people. .
4. Go to Japan...
Sometimes the meaning of happiness is very simple, but Lin Yao doesn't feel happy at all these days. Since the shooting, he hasn't contacted Zheng Shaorong for many days. As for the reason, he can't explain it clearly.Until Xiang Qiang saw that he was troubled by personal affairs, he sent him to Japan to talk about the cooperation with the Yamaguchi-gumi that he had mentioned before, and take a break.
After more than ten hours of flight, Lin Yao arrived in Tokyo. Uncle Xiang had contacted Fangze Watanabe first, and when he got out of the station, he saw a group of big men in black suits standing with their hands behind their backs next to two long white BMWs holding [hongkong, Lin The big wooden sign of Mr. Yao, and the logo of the Yamaguchi group painted on the BMW body, the surrounding passengers dodged the pedestrians one after another, and cast strange glances at Lin Yao who was going straight towards the group of big men in black.
When Lin Yao approached, the rear seat door of the BMW suddenly opened, and a young man about 30 years old stepped out from the door and shook hands with him, "Lin Sang came from a long way, welcome, my servant Bianren"
Lin Yao stretched out his hand to hold Du
Xiang Jia invested in several films and tasted the sweetness, and intends to start a film company to bleach and launder money.Lin Yao told him his thoughts, Xiang Qiang didn't know that Lin Yao was from a professional class in his previous life, he just thought he wanted to play tickets, and it coincided with the opening of "New Best Partner" in New Art City, he wanted him to bring some brothers to do martial arts. Okay, take a look and learn some tricks to prepare for the future.
Speaking of Hong Kong movies, I have to mention martial arts movies. At this time, action movies are popular. In the shooting of many movies or TV series, it is necessary to take into account the completion of fighting, hoisting, explosion, riding or some difficult movements. When the effect or the actors are safe, there will be special personnel to complete the above work. The people who do these work are called Wu Xing. They are usually the actor's stand-in, or they may directly play a certain role on camera.The Jianghu people have practiced a little bit of boxing, and sometimes they do martial arts in the film crew to earn income to support their families. When someone makes trouble, Wu Xing usually stands up and acts as a guard.Sammo Hung and his younger brothers Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao were engaged in martial arts work back then.
Lin Yao, who was born in Beijing Film Academy, has a deep impression on New Arts City. "New Arts City" is a legend of Hong Kong movies. It consists of Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Shi Nansheng, Zeng Zhiwei and Teddy Robin The seven-person creative team has produced many blockbuster films. It borrowed from 007's "Grand Thief Comedy Series" Best Partner series to break Hong Kong's box office records for three consecutive years. It has been popular for ten years from 1980 to 1990. At its heyday, it was in full swing. The old oligarch Shaw Brothers and Jiahe joined forces to fight against New Art City.The crew to be stationed this time is the last film of the best partner of the new art city ace production.
The night before joining the group, it happened to be the birthday of Mei Yanfang, the rumored girlfriend of Xiang Qiang's brother Xiang Huasheng. cooked.
When Lin Yao arrived at Tyrannosaurus, there were quite a few people in the private room, and Uncle Xiang grabbed Lin Yao's hand, "Yaozai, let me introduce the birthday star to you." After that, he pointed to the bright woman on the sofa who was about to get up, "This is today It’s the birthday queen Mei.” Lin Yao bowed and saluted, “Happy birthday to Queen Mei.”
Mei Yanfang got up, looked Lin Yao up and down, and said to Xiang Qiang: "I heard you said many times that Yaozi is very good at fighting, but who knows that he looks so good. If he entered the performing arts industry at the beginning, he might not be able to fight now." It's been a big hit for a long time." At the same time, he held Lin Yao's other hand and smiled, "Why be so polite, I've been friends with you Xiang Shu for many years, today I'm going to ask you to call me Aunt Mei."
"Aunt Mei~." Lin Yao used his three-inch tongue in the social arena, coaxing Mei Yanfang to smile, and volunteered to be a middleman, leading Lin Yao to know everyone in the arena one by one.
"This bald guy is Mai Jia, who has always been extremely smart. This is director Liu of New Art City, this is Xu Guanjie from the Xu family, and this handsome guy is Cary, you call him Uncle Rong..."
Hearing about Cary, Lin Yao couldn't help but look at his student idol twice more.Cary, whose full name is Zheng Shaorong, is one of the representatives of the Hong Kong film industry and record industry. He has an elegant and perfect appearance and a free and unrestrained life. At the peak of his career, he made a move that was regarded as a blatant challenge to social ethics in the conservative Chinese circle- ---Frankly coming out of the closet and admitting that he is gay, Zheng Shaorong's career has been greatly affected since then, and seven years after coming out of the closet, he suffered from depression and jumped from the tallest building in Hong Kong, leaving fans all over the place with heartbroken blood and tears.Perhaps art is always best when it is lost. After his death, the Chinese media reversed the previous negative evaluation and kept rebroadcasting his classic movies, and gradually made it an annual practice to rebroadcast classics on the anniversary of his death.
Compared with the restrained and elegant man in the commemorative topic of the imperial court after his death.At this time, he didn't seem to be so melancholy after he matured his acting skills and put aside his appearance and devoted himself to disfigurement. He wore a fashionable ducktail hair and wore very tasteful British fashion. With a handsomeness between teenagers and youths.
Zheng Shaorong, who has been paying attention to this side, also stood up and shook hands with Lin Yao, and pointed to Mei Yanfang with a smile, "You are a few years older than Yaozi, so I am sorry to let people call you Aunt Mei, Yaozi ignores her, call me elder brother Well, although I don't mix in the world, I have long admired the reputation of Xinyi'an Red Stick Yaozi."
Lin Yao knew that it was just a polite remark, so he quickly grabbed Zheng Shaorong's unexpectedly strong right hand and replied, "The little names in the world are all supported by brothers, now I have quit the club, and I will only follow the right path with peace of mind, Brother Rong, don't mention it anymore. "
After the greetings, everyone sang, drank and had a good time, and encouraged the birthday star to sing a few songs, and the scene was hot for a while.It's just that Uncle Xiang's expression was not very good, and he kept whispering something to the brothers beside him, but from a distance, he could only hear his tone a bit hurried, Aunt Mei seemed to be persuading him, but before Lin Yao went to ask, he saw Uncle Xiang "crack " smashed a glass on the ground, and the private room fell silent for a moment, and Uncle Xiang's voice became clear and audible, "That rebellious boy, he doesn't know how much he weighs when he is popular, and he doesn't even look at the big names. Look at what you were originally!"
Lin Yao hurriedly picked up the brandy on the table to try to persuade him: "Calm down to Uncle Xiang, anger hurts your liver, no matter who you are rebellious, don't get angry."
Xiang Qiang took it all in one hand, pushed away Mei Yanfang who was still trying to excuse someone, and said to the brothers beside him: "You take a few people and go get him. You don't have to bring them to see me." , Let him kneel at the gate of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and let everyone who passes by have a look, I can make him popular, and I can also make him penniless!"
After the incident just now, affected by the evil spirits of the gangsters, the atmosphere in the private room went down for a while, and everyone was not as happy as before, those who drank did not dare to make noise, and those who sang did not dare to speak loudly, so Mei Yanfang had to come out to play Guo Zheng Shaorong sang a song "Rouge Button" that the two became popular last year to open the scene.
The two sang like the sounds of nature, but Lin Yao paid more attention to Brother Rong. After all, this was the first time he heard a former idol sing live. When Zheng Shaorong became popular, he was still young, and he waited until Lin Yao grew up. , he no longer wantonly swayed the stars on this stage.His voice is different, with a deep bass and a sense of affection, especially when he sings Cantonese songs, he is so affectionate, even if he listens to the tape, he seems to be the person in the song.
Qu Bi, even though everyone present was inside the circle, they couldn't help but thunderous applause, the tense atmosphere eased a little bit, and the new best partner heroine Li Zhi couldn't help booing softly, feeling relieved.Unexpectedly, the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, and after a while, he came back to tell the person who was sent out by force, "Brother, the matter has been settled, and now the kid is kneeling at the door to repent."Everyone was very curious about who would dare to refute Brother Xinyi'an's face, and their eyes could not help but drift outside the door, but because the person involved was here, they did not dare to act rashly.
Xiang Qiang nodded slightly, completely unable to see the angry appearance not long ago, looked up and looked around the faces of the people in the private room, and said with a smile: "Original family ugliness should not be publicized, this is my internal help in Xinyi'an, but since you are so curious, Why don't you come with me to meet this ignorant kid." He took the lead and walked out the door.
Already recalling this story, Lin Yao, who guessed who was kneeling outside the door, shouted in his heart, "I don't want to go, I don't want to go, but I still have to follow behind Xiang Qiang without showing my face.
Xiang Qiangming brought a stool to his subordinates, sat on the chair and looked at the watch, and waited for half an hour before getting up and walking slowly to Liu Hua, squatting down, and patted the other side of the face, "Are you aware of your mistake?"
"...I know I'm wrong" The man kneeling on the ground lowered his head deeply and responded in a low voice.
"If you know you're wrong, get out and celebrate the birthday boy!" Seeing that he still didn't move, Xiang Qiang kicked the man flying a meter away, and the head that had been buried deep was also kicked upside down, exposing it to everyone in front of you.
I knew it!I knew it!Seeing the man collapsed in the hall, the villain in Lin Yao's heart already wanted to help his forehead and fall to the ground. Who would have thought that 20 years later, the golden horse actor, the golden statue actor and Asian king Liu Hua would also kneel in front of the public when people give pointers.
Liu Hua really wanted to lift his clothes to cover his face at this moment so that no one would see him. He had rushed three nights in a row and finally had time to rest in the afternoon. He overslept for a while and forgot Mei Yanfang's birthday invitation. Dude is so humiliating.His hands were tucked into his sleeves, clenched into fists, and his nails went deep into the flesh without feeling pain.
When Lin Yaozheng didn't know how to deal with this farce, a group of people poured in from the entrance of the hall. Most of these people were wearing simple vests, showing colorful tattoos all over their bodies. Slightly fat, with thinning hair, his small eyes narrowed slightly, making him look even smaller. These small eyes scanned the situation in the hall, and signaled his subordinates to lift up Liu Hua who was lying on the ground with his eyes, and stretched his arms towards Qiang Qiang. Walking over quickly, he spoke in not-so-standard Cantonese: "It's been a long time since I came to Hong Kong, I didn't expect Xiang Sang to still be so majestic, hahaha."
Xiang Qiang's facial expression has become solemn since the pedestrians appeared, and he also went forward to hug the man, with a friendly face on the surface, but everyone could see from the tense bodies of both sides that this was not the case.This turbulent hug lasted about 5 minutes before they parted. Judging from the man's slightly trembling body, it was obvious that the previous rivalry had fallen short.
With a victorious smile, Xiang Qiang patted the man's shoulder, "Mr. Watanabe doesn't pay attention to the battle for the leadership of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I'm afraid it's not a good intention to come to Hong Kong at this time." After saying that, he beckoned Lin Yao to come over, "Yaozai, come here, This is Mr. Yoshitaka Watanabe, the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and I don’t want to say hello to Mr. Watanabe.” After Lin Yao greeted him, Xiang Qiang pointed to Lin Yao as Yoshitaka Watanabe and introduced, “This is my nephew Yaozai, who made me It's a great Xingyiquan, let him compete with your nephew of Beichen's Yidao style someday."
After chatting for a while, Xiang Qiang asked Mei Yanfang to take them to play by themselves, since the original intention of introducing everyone in New Art City had been achieved, and brought Lin Yao and Watanabe Fang to open another private room. Living on the side of the aisle, Lin Yao wanted to come in together, but was stopped by Watanabe Fang, "I have something important to discuss with your elder brother. There are so many brothers at the door, and you will not be harmed by Uncle Xiang." The boss came into the room for a private talk.They didn't know what to discuss in the private room, and they didn't come out for a long time. Lin Yao had drank some wine and got anxious for a while, so he asked the brothers guarding the door to be more alert, and went to the bathroom.
Walking along the long corridor to the bathroom at the corner, before Lin Yao entered, he heard a hurried male voice shouting, "Shaorong must listen to my explanation, this matter is really not what you saw."
"I don't want to tell you." Another male voice sounded weak, but that special voice still made Lin Yao recognize Zheng Shaorong who was in the same private room as him just now.
"Shaorong, as a key account manager of Standard Chartered Bank, entertainment is inevitable. Ms. Li and I are only in a customer relationship. I will help her when she is drunk, and nothing else."
"Not only this time, but many times you smelled of women's perfume. I didn't say anything. Qi's mother talked to me about your business needing the support of the Li family. You already had the idea of a blind date, and you agreed with it. Love child, I can't give you an aboveboard love affair, I can't give you a continuation of the incense, I have given you many opportunities after so many separations and reunions, but you always revert to your old ways. If you don't take my sincerity seriously, there is nothing in this world People can take your place, thank you for being with me in the past, this time we really should spend some time apart."
"Shaorong, Shaorong, I was wrong, please forgive me this time, okay? We have been together for so many years, we are used to each other's existence, so many times you said you want to break up, and you still come back to me in the end? Even if I get married After getting married and having a child, I still love you, so why don't we continue like this?"
"Mr. Zhang, if you want to live that kind of life, then you can find your own lovely wife and daughter. I will not accompany you. I forced this relationship from the beginning. Now I want to... let go, let go!" Lin Yao Hearing this, I already understand that this is probably another male protagonist, Mr. Zhang, who caused Zheng Shaorong's coming out of the closet in the legends of later generations. Fearing that there might be a physical conflict, he hurriedly pushed the door and entered, and three people were squeezed into the not spacious room. A man, looking very small.The Mr. Zhang in Brother Rong's words was grabbing his arm tightly and dragging him into his arms. The forced person was obviously not happy, his face was flushed with anger, and his body was struggling violently. This posture did not reflect it.
Lin Yao stepped forward to help Zheng Shaorong break free from his arms, and said, "Brother Rong, Mr. Zhang, this is still a public place, it's not good to make too much noise, you two, please calm down."
"Who are you? I'm talking to Shaorong, so there's no room for you to intervene." Mr. Zhang was resentful of being given a chance by an outsider to save his lover. He raised his hand and wanted to push Lin Yao away, but Lin Yao's foot was firm and he refused repeatedly Move, the opponent rushes his head angrily, like a bull fighting for a spouse, he punches and strikes.Lin Yao raised his hand to catch Mr. Zhang's fist, and moved forward along the force, and he staggered and slammed himself into the wall.
"Ade!..." Zheng Shaorong, who was held by Lin Yao, was obviously still quite concerned about this "former" lover, and couldn't help calling out.In fact, Lin Yao didn't use much force, he could see Mr. Zhang stabilized himself, and swallowed the rest of the words, with a trace of remorse on his face, I don't know if it was because he couldn't let go, or something else?
Mr. Zhang stabilized his figure, knowing that he was invincible. A pair of dark eyes looked directly at Zheng Shaorong, with an expression of affection and pain on his face, and said slowly: "Shaorong...give me another chance."
"..." Maybe it was a little soft-hearted, Zheng Shaorong turned his head away so as not to look at him, and then let out the harsh words: "Mr. Zhang, now I just want to say goodbye to you."
Uncomfortable by the weird aura in the room, Lin Yao tried to change the subject: "Aunt Mei's birthday, Brother Rong, as an old friend, it's not easy to leave for a long time, why don't I send Brother Rong back."
Zheng Shaorong looked a little embarrassed, and wanted to use Lin Yao to leave here, so he followed Lin Yao and him to leave the small bathroom, leaving another lovelorn man still calling Shaorong in the bathroom, but it was just calling, maybe he had concerns , not chasing out.
Zheng Shaorong heard the voice of Shaorong, and there was still a trace of hope, he stood at the door of the bathroom and hesitated for a while, seeing that the man hadn't come out, and the hope finally disappeared, with a bit of determination, he held Lin Yao back hands, ran wildly in the corridor, as if to escape from this person, this relationship.
"Thank you." Zheng Shaorong stood in front of the private room door, thanking Lin Yao, with a sullen expression on his face, "I'm sorry, Yaozi, I let you see a joke."
"Brother Rong, you're welcome, I didn't see anything today." Lin Yao approached Zheng Shaorong and straightened his crooked bow tie. "It's life to be sad, and life to be happy. Brother Rong should be happier." After tidying up, he stepped back After looking at it for a while, he said, "Well, Zheng Tianwang is still handsome and unstoppable." Remembering that he had been away from Uncle Xiang for too long, he turned around and wanted to leave.
After walking a certain distance, he turned around and saw Zheng Shaorong was still watching him at the door, Lin Yao opened his mouth and smiled, stretched out his hands and waved, "Actually, the pain passed at that time, and there will be someone else soon, brother Rong's charm is endless." This time, I was almost fascinated." Seeing that Zheng Shaorong was also smiling, he hurried to Xiangqiang's private room.
When Lin Yao returned to Xiang Shu's private room, Watanabe Fang had already left, Xiang Shu was the only one left in the private room to drink by himself, as if he was thinking about something, so he sat down beside Xiang Qiang, with some curiosity. Asked, "I know I shouldn't ask, but the Yamaguchi-gumi boss is coming to Hong Kong at this time, is there something big going on?"
Xiang Qiang picked up the small wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Japanese sake is so tasteless, and you are not an outsider. This time, Watanabe Fang came to Hong Kong just to cooperate with us and get the supply from Southeast Asia. To get more qualifications for myself in the "Yamaichi Rebellion", to compete for the fifth generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and at the same time launder part of the club funds he has in our pockets, and you can go to Japan to talk about money laundering on my behalf someday This issue."
3. Cooperation in the first play...
On the second day after the birthday party, everyone in the crew paid homage to various gods to ask for blessings, and the new best partner officially started.The story describes the cultural relics of the terracotta warriors and horses in Xi'an and the Qin Wangjian were exhibited abroad at the end of 1988. Unexpectedly, the cultural relics were stolen on the way to Hong Kong. After the incident, Zheng Shaorong and Li Zhi pretended to be the best partners and snatched the Qin Wangjian. Mai Jia became the person pursued by the Hong Kong police, while the mainland police sent martial arts masters to Hong Kong to recover the lost property.
Director Liu Jialiang intentionally placed martial arts and indoor scenes at the top, so the first scene was filmed in the scene where the mainland master fights with Xu Guanjie in the office to recover cultural relics. The actor Li Yuanba who plays the mainland master looks very similar to Jackie Chan, not only physically His muscles are bulging, and his martial arts skills are also very good. Some people in the crew joked that he might as well be Jackie Chan's stand-in.The king Kong played by Xu Guanjie sat in the office and pretended to discuss business. Li Yuanba, who was wearing a black tunic suit, walked in, grabbed Xu Guanjie and asked if he was related to the theft of the terracotta warriors. Xu Guanjie refused to admit it, and the two staged a martial arts fight.
Because there is not enough space for the indoor play, in order to make the fight more intense, Liu Jialiang set up a wooden half wall of about 1.8 meters beside the desk. The two of them punched and kicked on this half wall very smoothly. However, no one noticed that the wooden board under their feet had been so broken that the retaining springs began to loosen. After Xu Guanjie jumped off, the wooden board fell down without warning, and Li Yuanba, who was still standing on the wooden board, lost his balance. Staying at the vital point, rolling forward with the least damage and falling to the ground, everyone on the set still heard the "click" sound, and hurriedly gathered around to ask Li Yuanba about his injury.
Li Yuanba broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he moved his elbow, and said: "Maybe the upper arm is broken, Director Liu is sorry, I may need to quit this drama."
The director's complexion is not good, and this kind of thing happened in the first scene on the first day of filming, which is not a good omen. Moreover, the production time of the Hong Kong film industry is very short at this time, and it is not uncommon for a drama to be completed in less than a month. For some things, it hurts for a hundred days. For this unimportant small role, it is really not worthwhile to drag down the progress of the crew. Now it is too late to find actors. New Arts City was in charge. As a low-budget film, Liu Jialiang felt that the pears were too big, so he had to find someone from martial arts to fight for him.Martial arts have martial arts skills, and there is no shortage of muscular men. This role does not require much acting skills, as long as it is righteous from beginning to end.It's a pity that the people in the world are more or less ruffian and fierce. If it is suitable to play a club member, what about the Chinese public security....
Liu Jialiang looked at all the martial arts and thought for a long time. It seems that only Lin Yao who is sitting by the side is the most suitable. Lin Yao also intends to play this small role to recall some feelings from his previous life. The two hit it off immediately and reshot the scene just now. Reinforce the wooden wall that caused the accident.Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lin Yao, who has never acted before, has a strong sense of position and camera sense. He only needs to look at the camera position to know what to do next to show the best effect. There is no NG After going through all his scenes at once, it was Xu Guanjie who dragged Lin Yao down a few times.
After filming this one, Lin Yao was a little short of breath. He took the drink from his younger brother Lin Wei and sat next to the director to watch his performance on the monitor. Liu Jialiang seemed very happy, and slapped Lin Yao's back with one hand. up, nearly choking him.
"I used to say that you can play, but today I have seen a good skill. I have been in the industry for many years, and I have never seen a newcomer for the first time. I have never had an NG. It is a pity that you have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years."
Lin Yao gulped down half a bottle of drink, and after his breath calmed down, he said modestly, "Before when I was young, I only thought that being in the rivers and lakes was majestic. When I was older, I realized that majesty can last for a few years. It is better to live in peace. I didn't expect that." Seeing that I can perform so well, I can only say that God rewarded me with another meal."
After chatting for a while, the next scene soon began, which was still Lin Yao's indoor scene.
Losing by force, Xu Guanjie turned around and ran away, because Lin Yao didn't hit women, so he kept his secretary and girlfriend to hold Lin Yao back, in order to delay the time, his girlfriend did everything possible.Holding legs, pulling clothes, etc., Lin Yao's outer pants were pulled down, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin and well-proportioned legs. The funniest thing is that when Lin Yao lifted his pants, his girlfriend saw that the legs could not be hugged and pulled the top Unexpectedly, too much force was applied, and the jacket was torn in half, revealing the four characters on the back: "serve the country with loyalty"
"Cut!" Liu Jialiang was even more excited, "It's another one, Yaozi, do you intend to sign a contract with an agency? I have a friend..."
Lin Yao tore off the costume that had been torn in half, waved his hand to stop Liu Jialiang's words, and let the makeup artist wipe off the paint on his back. Without looking away, I looked up and saw Zheng Shaorong was also looking at him. I smiled back and said, "Actually, I didn't consider becoming an artiste. Uncle Xiang also has several economic companies. I can only thank Director Liu for his kindness."
The filming went smoothly throughout the morning, all the shots of the office scenes had been filmed, and the crew had eaten their boxed lunches before moving on to the next scene.
In this scene, Golden Horse actor Danny Lee Soo-hsien played a cameo role as a Hong Kong client who was caught and shot by a prostitute in the mainland. He was tied to the execution post and shouted: "Please shoot on time, I must be shot to death", but he was still shot. He scratched his right chest, fell down and became annoyed: "What's your number, are you so inaccurate?..." That "number" simply picked up the pistol and went up, bang, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah... New and old The four best partners were put on Chinese tunic suits and heavy wooden shoes, and shot the shots of prisoners cooking in the rain.Liu Jialiang commanded the high-pressure water gun faucet to drench everyone. It was February at this time. Although it was not too cold because of Hong Kong's geographical location, Zheng Shaorong still shivered several times. Putting on dry clothes didn't stop it either.Lin Yao hurriedly ordered Lin Wei to cook some ginger soup with cola and handed it to Zheng Shaorong.
Zheng Shaorong stretched out his hand to take it, feeling the temperature of the hot soup in the palm of his hand, it seemed that the whole person became warmer, and said with a smile, "Counting this time, you have helped me twice, why don't you go to Xuji to drink tea together some other day, thank you very much .”
"It's just a little effort, brother Rong invites you, how dare you refuse." Lin Yao readily agreed, watched Zheng Shaorong and drank the ginger soup before continuing to the next game.
The production team is progressing very quickly, but after more than ten days, there are only a few scenes left to be filmed. Among them is the last scene in the warehouse where they fight to regain the terracotta warriors and horses. The multi-person fight scene was originally directed by the director Good subject matter, but the effect always looks chaotic. If the previous shots set the comedy tone of the new best partner, then this last fight turned the comedy into a farce. Liu Jialiang was not satisfied with many shots , The progress that has been going smoothly has been delayed for a while.Feeling the predicament of the crew, all the leading actors gathered in front of the monitor to watch the previous NG, brainstorming, but they didn't know how to change the current predicament.
Lin Yao didn't want to be the first bird at first, but he had to interject, "Director Liu, I think...maybe we can appropriately reduce the scenes of some people, make the scenes more tense, focus on certain key shots, and develop the fighting scenes in the direction of violent aesthetics." "Aesthetics of violence? Tell me about Yaozai." Although he didn't think a newcomer could offer any useful suggestions, Liu Jialiang politely expressed his curiosity.
"Yes, for example, last year's The True Colors of Heroes, which developed the beauty of gunfights to a dazzling degree, and now Hong Kong fighting movies focus more on real fighting skills, and the aesthetics of violence pays more attention to the sense of form and details, making the fighting appear dance-like. , poetic and performative."
Hearing about John Woo, the originator of violent aesthetics who once served in New Arts City, and later went out to set up his own company, the movie Heroes, everyone in New Arts City looked very unhappy. Last year, they competed with Heroes for the box office list, and New Arts City was defeated.They are not willing to admit John Woo and his ideology, but the box office is the last word. At this time, John Woo has not systematically sorted out the essence of his violent aesthetics. He was truly famous and known to the world in 1994 in Hong Kong. After the recession of the movie, he made several blockbusters in Hollywood.
Seeing the director's expression, Lin Yao thought that his purely theoretical suggestion could not be expressed in detail, so he took the memo pad and ballpoint pen in the cutscene recorder's hand, and drew a few sub-shots "For example, when the ancient Qin Emperor sword was chopped down, There are no sundries in the lens, only its sharp edge is highlighted, zoom in and zoom out with slow motion..."
Liu Jialiang thought for a long time, and after discussing with Mai Jia and Xu Guanjie, he finally let go, "You can try it. I didn't expect Yaozai and you to dabble in movies. No wonder you didn't make any mistakes when you moved."
"Uh..." Lin Yao was at a loss for words for a while, and could only use his head to talk rationally, "Where, where, before joining the group, I hugged my feet temporarily and watched a little bit. People in the Jianghu always pay attention to the fight scenes in Jianghu movies. "Lin Yao, who managed to get the topic back, didn't dare to talk anymore, and Liu Jialiang also arranged not to mention it. The final editing effect was quite different from the previous one. The fighting scenes became tense and rhythmic, which saved the film. The film was later criticized by film critics as its biggest failure.
The next scene was at the pier. The crew needed to set up the location and staff, and give the leading actor a half-day break. Zheng Shaorong had made an appointment with Lin Yao to drink tea before, but because he was in a hurry, he couldn't make the trip, so he simply took this break. A car went to Xuji together.
Not long after arriving at Xu Ji, Lin Yao found that Zheng Shaorong was obviously a frequent visitor here, and the waiter had already greeted him when he entered the door, "Zhang Sheng, our teahouse has just imported a batch of high-quality Tieguanyin from Anxi in mainland China. Do you want to try it?"
Zheng Shaorong didn't need the guidance of his attendants at all, he led Lin Yao upstairs to find an empty seat and sat down before saying to the waiter who had been following him all the time, "Serve some old-fashioned refreshments, and make a pot of the Tieguanyin you mentioned just now." Come on, remember to use white porcelain." The waiter responded, and quickly brought tea trays and snacks and retreated, Lin Yao looked at Zheng Shaorong's side face as he poured water to wash the cup and poured tea, mixed the sandalwood ordered by the teahouse, and the bamboo curtain Through the mottled light and shadow, the atmosphere is extremely peaceful and quiet, and there is an unrealistic illusion like going back in time. It seems that the person in front of him has a sense of detachment out of thin air, and the next moment he will be detached and fly away. I want to keep this beauty.Can't help calling softly. "Brother Rong..."
"Huh?" Zheng Shaorong, who was concentrating on performing the tea ceremony, raised his head upon hearing the sound, and handed the teacup to Lin Yao by the way.
"Has Mr. Zhang pestered Brother Rong again recently?" Lin Yao, who couldn't find anything to talk about, took the teacup with both hands, and asked an inappropriate question.
Zheng Shaorong took a cup and sniffed the fragrance of tea lightly, somewhat dispirited, "I have called a few times, because I have been rushing to the set, but I didn't receive it. I only saw the message when I got home."
"What does Brother Rong mean?" Lin Yao was a little uneasy.
Zheng Shaorong gave Lin Yao a strange look before slowly saying, "People in the world only know that my family background is good, but they don't know that my family relationship is weak, and my father's career is going from bad to worse. He sent me to England to learn textiles, hoping to rebuild the family business. It's a pity that I don't like this. The group really didn’t have any interest, so they ran back to Hong Kong to participate in the singing contest and made their debut, because of this, they had a falling out with their father and were cut off from financial aid.”
He paused at this point, "When I was in a lawsuit because of a contract, it was also the time when the economy was the worst. It was really desperate. It's a pity that the young man refused to turn around and admit defeat with the elders. Zhang Sheng is my brother Qi, He borrowed my salary for several months to help me overcome difficulties, eat lunch by myself, and connect me with contacts. At that time, I thought—there is probably no one in this world who treats me so well. I just want to grasp this warmth. But The person who speaks first in a relationship is probably not so important. The initial infatuation, now all that is left is to endure, to endure him being between Miss Li and me. You have seen it before, and I gave him a chance when I walked out of the bathroom , but he was worried about his future and reputation, and I was on the set, but I only heard a phone call for a future visit in the next ten days, and I didn't want to give him any expectations. Good man, it's just that I can't keep it, Miss Li is very lucky." He said that his voice gradually faded at the end, especially the last sentence was almost inaudible, and it was more like self-hypnotic repetition.
Lin Yao just drank tea in silence and listened to him, his heart was slightly sour. He felt that his feelings had gradually changed during these days of contact, but it was difficult to distinguish whether it was love or just idol worship left over from the previous life, so he could only suppress himself.I thought that if I hadn't intervened that night, the final outcome of that quarrel might have been reconciliation. They continued to have such ambiguous entanglements, or returned to the light, or returned to the underground.It wasn't until the leap 14 years later that he was freed.
Before I knew it, two or three hours had passed, and it was Zheng Shaorong who kept talking about the past, everything about him and Zhang Sheng in the past, as if he wanted to pour out all these troubles, and not pretend to be in his heart, so that he could forget quickly in the future.Perhaps because he realized that he had talked too much for too long, Zheng Shaorong smiled embarrassedly at Lin Yao, and said, "I wanted to thank you, so I asked you to come out to drink tea and relax, but I didn't expect you to become a trash can for my worries, so thank you very much." You are willing to listen, and I owe you a favor."
"..." Lin Yao was silent for a while before forcing a smile, "Brother Rong always treats me as a stranger and thank you politely. I'm a little tired today, so I won't be with Brother Rong."
Zheng Shaorong saw that Lin Yao's face was indeed tired, and said, "Yu Tsai has been filming martial arts recently, he really should have a good rest." So they went home separately to prepare for the next day's scenes.
The second day was the last set of shots. After shooting this set, the new best partner will be wrapped up. Lin Yao's first big screen experience will also come to an end. Everyone rushed to the pier early to prepare.
After the old and new best partners helped China Lanbo regain the Qinhuangdao sword, they sent Lanbo back to the mainland with the Hong Kong police. When Lin Yao boarded the ship and waved, Li Zhi, Zheng Shaorong, Xu Guanjie, and Mai Jia were wearing the uniforms of the mainland police. Holding the red treasure book in their hands, they stepped forward and appeared, shouting slogans: "It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich! It's right to get rich!" Standing in a row, they danced a neat "loyalty dance" in the majestic The marching song sang: "Without money, there is no tomorrow. Look at the money, don't look left and right. New China, please don't force me to go, I don't want to immigrate, go, foreign, foreign country!"...
This one is still very smooth. From the perspective of mainlanders, it is the most hilarious scene in the whole film. It is a pity that Lin Yao couldn't laugh. Looking at the excited crowd because of the filming, he greeted Zheng Shaorong and the crew, pretending to be unwell, and politely declined. After finishing the banquet, he turned and left the set.
The author has something to say: Sure enough, he is still not used to writing about normal people. .
4. Go to Japan...
Sometimes the meaning of happiness is very simple, but Lin Yao doesn't feel happy at all these days. Since the shooting, he hasn't contacted Zheng Shaorong for many days. As for the reason, he can't explain it clearly.Until Xiang Qiang saw that he was troubled by personal affairs, he sent him to Japan to talk about the cooperation with the Yamaguchi-gumi that he had mentioned before, and take a break.
After more than ten hours of flight, Lin Yao arrived in Tokyo. Uncle Xiang had contacted Fangze Watanabe first, and when he got out of the station, he saw a group of big men in black suits standing with their hands behind their backs next to two long white BMWs holding [hongkong, Lin The big wooden sign of Mr. Yao, and the logo of the Yamaguchi group painted on the BMW body, the surrounding passengers dodged the pedestrians one after another, and cast strange glances at Lin Yao who was going straight towards the group of big men in black.
When Lin Yao approached, the rear seat door of the BMW suddenly opened, and a young man about 30 years old stepped out from the door and shook hands with him, "Lin Sang came from a long way, welcome, my servant Bianren"
Lin Yao stretched out his hand to hold Du
