This actor needs more money

Chapter 267 Finalization

Ding Xiu and others had been filming all night, and they were all very tired. After taking off their makeup, they took the car back to the hotel to sleep.

Wu Jing and Li Zizhong can't do it. They can't use Wang Jiawei for the scene they filmed today. They need to re-transform Wang Jiawei's style into their own style, which takes time to conceive.

Maybe I won't be able to sleep all day today.

But I have to continue shooting at night, so you can imagine how tired I am.

"How about you go to bed first and come over for me in the afternoon." Li Zizhong said to Wu Jing.

He wanted the two of them to take shifts and not spend time here together.

Wu Jing said: "I'd better stay and you go to bed. I'm young and can handle it. The show here tonight can't be done without you."

Li Zizhong thought for a while and realized that this was true. His body was not as strong as Wu Jing's group of young martial arts practitioners. He had already stayed up all night last night and might not be able to bear it until the afternoon.

If this stays up, you may not know what time to wake up at night, which will affect night photography.

"Okay, then I'll go back first and you can rest early."

After packing his things, Li Zizhong got into the crew's car and returned to the hotel.

Wu Jing continued to watch the playback alone in the director's studio, studying how to transform Wang Jiawei's style into his own. As a first-time director, he had a lot to learn, and he didn't want to follow Li Zizhong forever.

In name, he is one of the directors of "Langya", but in fact Li Zizhong does a lot of the work. His reputation as a director is somewhat unworthy of his name.

Learn more and do the next part yourself.

Six p.m.

After eating and drinking, Ding Xiu came to the set. As soon as he arrived, he saw Wu Jing, wearing a thick down jacket, lying on a chair and taking a nap.

Before he could speak, Li Zizhong said: "Let him sleep. He didn't go back this morning and has only rested now."

He didn't expect Wu Jing to be able to endure it so well. He didn't go back all day. After he came over, Wu Jing discussed new shooting methods with him, and they discussed it for several hours.

Half an hour ago, Wu Jing said to wake him up before filming started. After saying this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ding Xiu took back his hand and said to Li Zizhong: "Director Li, how are you going to shoot today?"

"The fight scene is the same as yesterday, except that the slow motion and camera position will be changed. Call all departments and we will discuss the specific moves and some precautions."

Inviting the entire team, Li Zizhong held a meeting and discussed for more than 40 minutes before explaining the plan he and Wu Jing had made.

After the meeting, everyone started to mingle.

At eight o'clock, the crew officially started filming, and Wu Jing was woken up on time.

"Brighter the lights."

"The extras need to pay attention to their positioning and don't run out of the painting."

"Find a good camera angle."

"Let's test the sound effect of the radio."

"Director, no problem."

"Clear the site, remove all irrelevant personnel, and get all departments in place. Three-two-one, let's go!"

Ding Xiu's fighting scene tonight was a little faster than last night. In order to increase the realism, the director asked the extras to wear protective measures under their clothes, so he could fight more freely.

One thing to say, Wang Sunglasses was not around, and the whole group felt relaxed going up and down.

No, it's almost always the same.

It’s not that Wang’s sunglasses are bad, it’s that his ideas are too wild and unconstrained. One second he thought it was good, the next second he was talking about reshooting, and every other moment he had an idea.

A single eye-catching scene can make more than a dozen NG scenes.

Tonight, after Li Zizhong and Wu Jing adapted martial arts to their own styles, the shooting speed was much faster. In addition, due to the overnight practice yesterday, each scene lasted more than ten minutes, and it was very smooth.

By 12 o'clock in the evening, in just four hours, the number of scenes filmed was as much as what Wang Jiawei shot in one night last night.

"Click!"

"Pass!"

"Ready to call it a day."

Li Zizhong only took four hours of filming and stopped filming. Without him, he didn't have enough energy.

Ding Xiu and other actors and extras managed to catch up on their sleep after returning during the day, but the staff were not so relaxed, and everyone was struggling.

Wu Jing hadn't slept for thirty or forty hours, and now his eyes were red, all he could do was drink coffee.

If they continue to endure it, several staff members who are elderly and in poor health may die suddenly on the spot.

In addition to letting everyone take a break, there was another reason for ending work so early. This scene was a bit long. One day was not enough for him and Wu Jing to discuss the complete shooting plan, so they had to work out a little bit first.

After a good sleep tonight, the two of them will continue to work together during the day tomorrow, and continue shooting at eight o'clock at night.

The crew filmed a night fight scene for ten days, and finally finished it despite all the stumbling.

Fortunately, the shooting was in the suburbs. If it were in the city, if I dared to shoot for so many days, I would have been chased away by the traffic police, and even if I wasn't chased away, I would still be complained by the citizens.

That night after filming the scene, the two directors went back and had a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the crew continued filming.

This time the location was changed, and it was not Ding Xiu, but the second female lead.

When Ma Ye's woman learned that Ma Ye was dead, she sent people to bring back Ma Ye's body. The middle body was taken away by Xiaohe's police station, and Mrs. Ma sent people to attack.

Finally, Abu was found, and Xiaohe was used to threaten him, forcing him to submit.

As the biggest villain of the film, the second female lead does not have many scenes, only a few scenes in total.

"I said, you really save money."

In the morning, Ding Xiu came back from his morning jog and saw Wu Jing and others setting up in the hotel room, preparing to shoot a new plot.

That's right, most of Mrs. Ma's scenes are in the mansion where she is controlled by a telephone remote control.

Wu Jing couldn't find the mansion, and couldn't afford to rent it if he found it. So he had to use a hotel room instead, which cost several thousand yuan.

This room has floor-to-ceiling glass. When you open the curtains, you can see the busy traffic downstairs. As long as it's not too serious, it looks like a mansion.

Li Zizhong rolled his eyes: "Wu Jing originally wanted to requisition your room, but he changed it at my strong request."

The best person in the entire crew room is Ding Xiu. There is no way he is the biggest star, so he naturally enjoys the best treatment.

At first, Wu Jing wanted to save money and came up with the idea of ​​using Ding Xiu's room to shoot. Anyway, it would only take one day and would not affect his sleep at night.

Li Zizhong couldn't stand it anymore (for fear of being beaten by Ding Xiu), and said he was willing to use his own money to open a room for filming, and that's how the current set was created.

"Really?" Ding Xiu's half-closed eyes looked at Wu Jing with a cold light.

Wu Jing's scalp was numb, and he forced a smile and said: "I'm just talking casually, how could you do such a thing? No matter how miserable the crew is, they can't make fun of your comfort, Brother Xiu."

"That's pretty much it." Ding Xiu put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned around to go back to his room to take a shower.

In December, the time came to the end of 2006, and the filming of Langya crew came to an end.

The overall shooting speed is not fast.

I say it’s fast because it only takes two or three months. It’s much faster than those who start out in four or five months and finish it in half a year.

The comparison is with Hong Kong's local movies. Some big guys can shoot a movie in half a month. Finishing the movie in one month is considered a basic operation. If the movie is still being shot after more than two months, it will be shabby if it is spread out.

Langya took pictures for three months, and compared with them, he was considered a slow batch.

In the past few months, Ding Xiu has not noticed that he knows a lot of second- and third-tier artists in Hong Kong.

The second male lead, Fang Lishen, is a popular youngster among the younger generation. He even participated in the Olympics before debuting and is a good swimmer.

Later, he entered the entertainment industry because he was too handsome. He sang, danced, and made movies and TV series. He was very popular. Wu Jing brought him over, probably to win the box office on Hong Kong Island.

In addition to Fong Li-shen, Hong Kong actors also include Lin Feng, who is famous for his golden supporting roles and is very fat. He played the second leader of the Ax Gang in Zhou Xingchi's movie Kung Fu, and he was the one who was blown to the head by a cloud-piercing arrow from Ah Xing.

After debuting for more than 20 years, Lin Xie's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He has worked with major directors and major movie kings and queens.

Dark Flower, King of Power, God of Cookery, Goodbye Alang, Dark War 1, Dark War 2, Gunfire, PTU, Kung Fu, Black and White Jianghu,... After playing supporting roles for decades, Lin Qiao has played too many supporting roles and won too many awards. Second Best Supporting Actor Award.

In order to make this drama catch the Hong Kong fans, Wu Jing also invited Cheng Haonan, Xu Shaoxiong and others to star in friendship, which can be regarded as using up all the favors accumulated in the past few years.

He even made a cameo appearance as a colleague of the heroine, a young police officer.

The kind where you get your lunch box after three minutes of appearance.

I have to say that the supporting roles hired by Wu Jing are all good, and each one is just right.

Ding Xiu has been in the industry for six years and has filmed a lot of movies and worked with many actors.

Many actors have a common problem when they are not popular yet. When playing supporting roles, they always like to highlight themselves and make their supporting roles different, which is commonly known as stealing the scene.

Some people have to overpower the protagonist to feel awesome.

A good drama is one where the actors complement each other. Even if the actor plays a supporting role, you still have to lower your aura. If you make yourself too awesome and overshadow the protagonist, the audience will easily get upset. .

The good thing about the actors Wu Jing hired was that they didn't steal the show, and everyone did what they were supposed to do.

"Brother Xiu, it's the last scene, it will be finished after filming."

At the dock, on the passenger ship, Wu Jing said wearing a sun hat and black sunglasses.

The weather in coastal cities is good, but it is already snowing heavily in Peiping at this time, but here a short-sleeved shirt and a light jacket will do.

The passenger ship was full, and Ding Xiu sat in the last row with a bowling bag in his hand without getting up, and gave an OK gesture to Wu Jing.

Today is the last scene. There is no martial arts, no long lines, and only a few scenes. It is very simple and can be done with just a few lines.

"The actors are ready, and the scene management stabilizes the mood of the group."

"Grandma in front, please be quiet and stop chatting. Please cooperate."

"Don't let anyone's children run around."

"Uncle, can you hold your big cock?"

The ship is either a high-end ship or an ordinary ship with a shed. It is used for ordinary people to travel between the island and the city, which is very convenient.

Considering the cost issue, Wu Jing did not use professional extras for this scene. Anyway, there were so many people coming and going every day, so he just shot it with one machine.

"Hello!"

"Fei Rong."

"boss."

"Where are the people?"

"I'm watching, I can't run away."

At the front of the ship, Fei Rong, played by Lin Yu, was on the phone with Mrs. Ma. On this trip, he was responsible for keeping an eye on Abu and reporting the situation at any time.

Because there are many people and they are afraid of being discovered, he is the only one who follows them.

Thinking of Abu's terror, the timid Fei Rong became a little scared, fearing that he would kill him and silence him if he was discovered.

"Brother Xiu, get up."

"Murderous, pay attention to your eyes, make the other person feel scared."

Behind the camera, Wu Jing waved to Ding Xiu, indicating that he could get up.

Carrying the bowling bag, Ding Xiu strolled to Fei Rong, staring ahead without looking at anyone.

Fei Rong, who was on the phone and still reporting the situation to his boss, noticed the figure next to him out of the corner of his eye and glanced curiously.

Just this glance almost made him pee. Ding Xiu casually put the bowling bag on his lap and tilted his head to look at him.

"We can't let her escape anymore. How long until the ship arrives?"

Mrs. Ma's voice came from the phone. Fei Rong swallowed and did not dare to move.

At this moment, Ding Xiu's eyes were still very cold. Being stared at by him felt like being stared at by a hungry wolf.

Lin Nie couldn't help but think of Ding Xiu's legend. A few months ago, the eight sects issued a challenge to him, but they were all defeated. It is said that dozens of people were hospitalized in that battle, and Wing Chun master Liang Lu was hacked dozens of times.

As Ding Xiu became famous, his past was dug out.

A watermelon knife chased dozens of gangsters, defeated the Sanda boxing champion with one move, beat Zhao Wenzhuo violently, Zhen Zidan looked at him and took a detour, filed a police report, etc. There were too many news.

If you didn't know that this kid was a celebrity, just looking at him, you would have thought he was a gangster.

Unfortunately, Lin Nie happened to be filming in the mainland a few months ago and had never seen Ding Xiu's martial arts competition in person. When he heard about it afterwards, he thought it was just bragging.

It wasn't until he joined the cast and saw Ding Xiu's martial arts scene that he realized how outrageous it was.

When he glared at me today, my heart couldn't help but twitch.

I heard that this guy doesn’t like to see Hong Kong actors.

Don't hit him, right?

"As expected of a veteran actor, he is amazing."

Behind the camera, Wu Jing admired Lin Xie's acting skills in a low voice. He was able to act so realistically even when he was scared. Most people couldn't do it. These were all due to his temperament.

The script doesn't teach you how to act. There may be a few words in brackets after a line, such as fear, excitement, and panic.

As for how to perform fear, excitement, and panic, it depends on the actor's skills.

"Huh?" Ding Xiu waved to Lin Yue, motioning for him to bring the phone over.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yue handed over the phone. On the phone, Mrs. Ma's voice was still asking repeatedly.

"How long does it take to arrive? I ask you how long it takes to arrive."

"Speak, Feirong!"

"We'll be there in half an hour!" Ding Xiu answered Mrs. Ma's words by holding the phone close to his ear.

"I want you to return my husband's head to me and give you one day before you leave Hong Kong Island."

With a disdainful smile, Ding Xiu hung up the phone, stuffed the phone into Lin Chong's breast pocket, and then sat on the edge with his legs crossed.

Lin Nie looked at the bowling bag on his lap and guessed something. He didn't dare to move. His thighs and hands were trembling.

On the contrary, Ding Xiu, who was diagonally across from him, was very calm: "You haven't slept all night, you must be tired. Do you think you will be alive tomorrow?"

"I ask myself every day, will I be alive tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, everything will be over soon."

"Click!"

"Pass!"

"The entire Wolf Fang crew is finished filming!"

After Ding Xiu finished speaking his last line, director Wu Jing shouted, and the staff took out the salute they had prepared long ago.

Zhao Liying also gave Ding Xiu flowers.
