The set of "The Disciples".
Zhang Yuan and Song Jia looked like humans just now, but now after putting on makeup, they look like ghosts.
But before they could finish the work, several people came over from the director's team who were not like humans and not like ghosts.
“Go away!”
“I warn you not to come here!”
Several props and lighting guys were blocking the shooting equipment.
Director Er Dongsheng inquired and rushed to the scene of the commotion.
“What do you guys have to ask?”
Er Dongsheng frowned.
Actually, he roughly guessed the cause of the incident before he arrived at the scene.
Now when I come in front of people and take a look, my thoughts are confirmed.
I saw only three or four young men from Xiangjiang, with yellow hair on their heads and big gold chains... the kind of chains that would float and fade as soon as you take a bath.
Wearing worn-out white sneakers on her feet, a half-smoked cigarette held between her fingertips.
With yellow waxy eyes and dark skin, they all have narrow shoulders and long necks, and they look like Qingyuan chickens.
Looking like this, there is no injustice in dragging them out and shooting them one by one.
So who are these guys?
Hong Kong Island characteristics, young and Dangerous!
“This place is not owned by your family.”
“Why don’t we come for a walk?”
“Just in case we accidentally walk by and knock something down. Something, then I’m sorry.”
The leader, with a greasy face and an arrogant look, raised his chin and said.
"Ha...bah!"
After that, he spat towards the camera.
“What are you doing?”
The cameraman immediately became annoyed, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Er Dongsheng quickly stopped him.
How many years has he been in the film and television industry?
You can't go up at this time. If you really take action, the gangster will become a rogue and blackmail you to death.
Don’t forget that it came back in 1997, and after its return, it vigorously renovated the streets.
But the rogue culture formed in Xiangjiang over the past few decades has not completely dissipated.
Especially blackmail targeting the film and television industry is an old tradition in Hong Kong.
After all, before the handover, many film and television companies were run by gang bosses.
Brother Hua was pointed at the head by a revolver.
Li Lianjie’s agent was shot dead in the street.
Liu Jialing was kidnapped and took nude photos.
Anita Mui was slapped.
Uncle Long was surrounded by fifty "guards with swords" while eating.
These things are all too common.
From little stars to superstars, everyone has suffered at the hands of gangs.
In the early years there were a few people who kept their word.
For example, 14K boss Chen Huimin and Liu Jialing helped find connections to bring people back.
The time Brother Hua was pointed at by a gun, he was the one who went to say hello.
This eldest brother joined a gang in his early years and later served as a prison guard for many years.
His situation was very common in those days, black and white colluded, and black and white took advantage of each other.
However, after returning, this person has become more honest, and most of his voice has disappeared.
A few years later, he was severely beaten by the superiors and was imprisoned for several years.
Because this man not only has several guns at home, but also hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Apart from him, the only person who can be peaceful in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is Simon Yam.
His brother Yam Darong is the current Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Now I am in charge of human resources. After being transferred tomorrow, I will become the director of the Operations Division, responsible for sweeping the streets and handling major cases.
Therefore, no one will cause trouble on the set where Simon Yam is present.
Therefore, no one bothered Johnnie when he was filming a movie like "Underworld" that directly addressed gang issues.
But the crew of "The Disciples" did not have these "talkers" involved. Naturally, some bad guys got wind of the situation and planned to come and make a fortune.
Let alone the Hong Kong crew, what about the white Hollywood crew.
Later, the crew of "Become King Kong" came to Hong Kong for filming and were blackmailed with one million.
Not only were the crew members injured, but director Michael Bay also lost his job.
And even the police officers who came to maintain order were beaten into pieces.
Here in Xiangjiang, big production crews like "Transformers" were beaten as soon as they were beaten, and a few young men went in and squatted for a few days and then came out again.
Is there still king's law? Is there still law?
Hey, not really...
In some places and with some people, the more polite and kind you are to them, the more they will turn on you.
Just clean up and have a good meal.
“What do you want to do?” Er Dongsheng was quite responsible. As a director, he did not hide behind.
"This is the Lin family's crew. I'm warning you not to do anything bad."
He first reported the name of the boss behind it, Uniasia CEO Lin Jianyue.
It's a pity that the old man of the Lin family has just left, and their family's power is no longer what it used to be.
“I don’t care what your family is.” The leader was still unconvinced and angry: “This is our land.”
“If you want to film, you have to pay a management fee.”
The so-called management fee is protection fee, which is what the local people in Xiangjiang call "land fee".
“Hey, seeing as you are a great director, I’ll give you a discount.”
"Five hundred thousand, bring it." This man waved to Er Dongsheng.
Er Dongsheng almost laughed out of anger.
Fifty thousand, why don’t you grab it?
“I tell you, not a cent.”
“I will call the police if you don’t leave!”
"Hey..." These bad guys looked like I was really scared: "We are committed to the rule of law."
"We didn't do anything, what are you doing by calling the police?"
"We charge management fees legally."
"If you don't want to pay it all in one go, then we will follow you for 10,000 yuan a day, okay?"
Bad guy Obviously threatening Er Dao.
"Director, what's wrong?" Zhang Yuan, who had finished his makeup, stepped forward.
“It’s okay.”
Er Dongsheng just wanted him to stay away.
Mainly because I am afraid of hurting the actors.
But these guys are quitting it now.
The leader pointed his finger far away.
“Hey!”
“Which road are you on?”
“How dare you grab food on our territory!”
Zhang Yuan: ……
Are you treating me as a colleague?
He composed himself and replied.
“Actually, I am an actor.”
“You’re a liar, you look like a fan at first sight.”
“Tell me, who is the boss? ”
Zhang Yuanlan couldn't explain it, so he turned around helplessly.
"Director...you handle it?"
"You go and prepare, it's okay, I'll handle it here."
He hid aside.
We are in a different place, and the king of hell is easy to mess with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with.
Don't cause trouble, otherwise the other party will take out a knife to chop you, which will be a big loss.
"Hehehe..." Returning to the makeup artist, Song Jia was covering her mouth and laughing softly.
“What are you enjoying?”
“Those young and Dangerous guys regard you as their peers.”
“They are blind.”
"No, no, no, it means that your appearance shaping has been very successful." Teacher Song praised: "It has been recognized by people in the 'industry'."
Okay... Zhang Yuan could only nod.
"SIR, let's eat a pineapple bun here. It's not illegal."
Two policemen arrived shortly after, and the bad guys showed an attitude of being like dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water. .
After a while of wrangling, those people dispersed angrily.
But before leaving, he glared back arrogantly.
"Okay, okay, let's start work quickly." Er Dongsheng turned around and clapped his hands to get everyone to move.
"Hurry up, a lot of time has been wasted."
He and Song Jia hurriedly came to the camera to rehearse their moves.
There are not many words in this scene, and the content is quite simple.
Ah Fen, played by Song Jia, took the initiative to come to the drug rehabilitation center to receive free drug treatment.
After meeting Azu, who plays undercover policeman Ali, she felt that a ray of light appeared in her life.
This ray of light gave her hope of quitting drug addiction.
The appearance of Zhang Yuan will completely extinguish this slender and nascent hope!
According to Er Dongsheng’s explanation last night.
When he designed the character A Fen, he referred to a large amount of information.
Because many fans try drugs just because they want to help their boyfriends detoxify, but they also fall into it.
In the end, he was even manipulated into selling meat and became a money-making tool for Fan Zai.
It is true that there are many silly girls who always have a spirit of "sacrifice" and "dedication".
This kind of mentality is not only easy to be exploited by fans, but also easily exploited by scumbags.
So...no Holy Mother.
No Holy Mother.
No Holy Mother!
The Holy Mother is seeking death. After seeing the mountain of shit, what she has to do is not to think about how to clean it up, but to hide away quickly.
Because there are professionals to clean up the garbage.
The drug provided by the detoxification center to relieve the symptoms of heroin is called methadone.
This stuff has some therapeutic benefits for any opioid addiction.
But!
Methadone itself can be addictive!
In the final analysis, it is actually fighting poison with poison, using a less toxic and less effective D product to alleviate the severe drug D withdrawal reaction.
And this method is actually useless.
Because according to official data, the relapse rate of those pink boys and girls within three months after leaving drug rehabilitation centers is as high as over 80%.
The relapse rate within one year is as high as 95%!
The remaining 5% may not mean that they will stop smoking.
Most of them have either not found this person, or they have gone to other places, making it difficult to count.
Taken together, the number of patients who can truly quit D may not even be 0.1%.
It’s like eating Huaiyang cuisine after eating Chongqing spicy Jianghu cuisine for two weeks.
Can you still taste it?
Because the memory of the tongue and taste has been overwritten by the stimulating experience of heavy flavors, no matter how you eat dishes with lighter flavors, they will feel tasteless and not exciting enough.
Also like the Yellow Saint Clothes.
After being "developed" by Zhang Yuan, no one feels excited now...
What if this exciting feeling is amplified 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times?
Sucking D is like this, the brain's perception and nerve center can never go back.
In front of the camera, Song Jia took a small cup of bright blue liquid from the window.
Methadone, a controlled drug, usually has coloring added as a reminder.
It's either bright blue or bright orange, very eye-catching.
Of course, the crew couldn't really use methadone, they used blueberry-flavored Gatorade.
Song Jia picked up the cup with trembling arms and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wife..."
At this moment, Zhang Yuan appeared.
Gently stretched out his head behind her and whispered in her ear.
“Ah!” Song Jia was so frightened that she froze, then turned around to look at him in horror, her pupils shaking at the same time.
“Card!”
“Zhang Yuan performed very well.” Er Dongsheng thought of the day of the audition.
Then and now, this kid is quick to play and can't find any faults.
"Song Jia should be a little more restrained and not so exaggerated."
After shooting several times in a row, the two tried three or four different acting methods.
Director Er thought it was almost done and asked them to come to the monitor to watch the replay.
“You will follow this rhythm later.”
"You run, you chase, all the way to the door."
"After I get stuck, I will go outside to take another shot."
"Okay, this shot is like this..."< br>
Er Dongsheng was about to say that the mirror passed, but Zhang Yuan shook his head.
“I think it’s a little bit worse.”
Director Er felt that there was not enough time, and was afraid of delaying the afternoon play, so he wanted to rush to the next one.
“I think it’s okay, I’ve achieved my goal.”
“I think it can be better.” Zhang Yuan refused to give up.
I wasted so much effort to lose weight and ruined my image by wearing this makeup.
Of course you have to be 100% satisfied.
Er Dongsheng scratched his head.
Who is the director?
Zhang Yuan was too lazy to continue arguing with him and spoke directly.
“When I called Afen from behind just now, I think there is a detail that can be adjusted.”
“Now I filmed Afen drinking Mishadone and being scared by me.”
"I think it would be better to change it to the scene where she was scared by me just when she wanted to drink."
"The drug addiction medicine in her hand fell to the ground."
"Another single shot of a paper cup containing medicine falling, Slow motion of throwing objects all over the floor."
"This gives a hint of the shot."
"It implies that as long as her husband appears, it will be impossible for Ah Fen to complete the precepts."
After hearing this, Er Dongsheng raised his eyebrows.
Yes!
He thought Zhang Yuan was dissatisfied with his performance.
I want to be more dramatic.
It’s normal for young actors to want to express themselves.
If it were normal, he would give it a chance.
But those bad guys just wasted a lot of his time, so he refused because of the shooting plan.
But I didn’t expect that what people mentioned was not my performance, but my action and lens design... Isn’t this all my director’s job?
It is true that many veteran actors will help new directors plan filming.
But Er Dongsheng thought, I am an old director and he is a young actor, why is he still directing me.
The key point is that what he said makes sense!
And I even thought about the storyboard.
The addition of the energy of spilling cups can indeed better reflect the sense of fate he wants.
The fate here is Ah Fen, a fan girl, no matter how pitiful, helpless or innocent she is.
But as long as you are exposed to Grade D, you will definitely die.
This is what Er Dongsheng wants to express.
"Well... OK, let's do it again." Director Er nodded in agreement after thinking urgently.
【Received thanks from Er Dongsheng, +1 for diving basics! 】
Look, a famous director is a famous director, and he still knows what to do... Zhang Yuan glanced at the attributes.
I thought I heard that this guy is pretty good. He can do skydiving, diving, and racing. He always loves to do extreme sports.
Song Jia was nearby and did not dare to say anything.
You are even younger than me, and you dared to choke with the director on the first scene of filming.
Anyway, I don’t have the guts.
Teacher Song has long felt that Zhang Yuan is different.
But this is the first time I feel it so intuitively on the set.
"Such a serious and persistent look is quite handsome." Song Jia muttered in her heart.
"Otherwise he can be the boss at a young age."
"The ability is indeed much stronger than the average person."
After they took a few more shots , and soon it was lunch time.
Azu has already arrived here. Although their scenes have not been finished, they can only put down the filming of Azu first.
Because all the extras are here, you have to pay even if you don’t use them.
The rest of their scenes this time will have to be resumed tomorrow.
When he had some free time, Zhang Yuan took Song Jia to the side to dialogue with each other.
Director Er will shoot Azu’s content as planned.
After an afternoon passed, Er Dongsheng felt a little boring.
Azu’s performance was quite satisfactory, with no obvious shortcomings.
But it cannot bring the kind of strong feedback that Zhang Yuan gave.
Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing goods.
Worked all the way until the end of the afternoon...
"Wow, it's been a busy day, it's hard work!"
A flowy voice floated over.
The bad guys are here again this morning!
And more people came this time.
There were only three or four people in the morning, but now there were at least ten people, maybe twenty people.
"Would you like us to help you keep the equipment?"
These bad guys knew that the shooting equipment was expensive, so they used this threat.
"What are you going to do?" Director Er's tone was more serious this time.
Because he saw the pipe wrenches, steel rods and other objects clearly visible in the opponent's hands.
“What about this?” Huang Mao, the leader, smiled, revealing a mouth of jagged and rotten teeth.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, we are plumbers ourselves."
"It makes sense to carry some maintenance tools with you."
Like this, in the Imperial Capital and Jinmen area, it is called playing tricks. .
Rogues everywhere are actually the same.
But everything is the same, and the ones here are obviously more lawless.
Looking at this posture, it is obvious that he does not intend to return empty-handed.
Zhang Yuan stood up and pulled Song Jia to the side.
"If something goes wrong soon, run away quickly. The most important thing is to protect yourself."
He said with care.
"Hey." Song Jia replied with a frown.
But I also thought that this young boss is quite good at taking care of people.
You still want to protect me at this time.
Song Jia had never encountered this kind of thing before, so she felt a little panicked.
But seeing Zhang Yuan standing in front of him, he felt a lot of peace of mind.
However, both sides were anxious, cursing, and moving, and the stall was about to explode.
A short, medium-sized middle-aged man walking in all directions shouted from not far away, calming everyone present... (End of Chapter)
