Chapter 311 Conquering Everyone
After that, the filming work of the crew officially started.
During this period, Sister Mei has been looking for a suitable place to live.
Not long after he officially joined the group, Chen Linfeng bought a single-family villa in downtown London. All the people who came to the UK lived together, which was also a cover for him and Liu Qianqian.
It doesn’t work like this. British paparazzi are the craziest in the world. Living in a hotel, Chen Linfeng feels that it is not very safe. It is more worry-free to have his own place to live.
After all, "Shenxia" is not only filming for one season, but will come back to film in the follow-up, so it is not a waste.
In the past few days on the set, Chen Linfeng had a preliminary understanding of the operating modes of some British dramas.
In terms of serving the Tao, they are more sophisticated than Chen Linfeng in "Star You" and "Please Reply".
In one word, it is stacking materials.
The furnishings in the room are piled high and look messy, but they have a sense of life and are in line with the personality.
Chen Linfeng randomly pulled out a book from the bookcase. They were all professional biology books that fit the protagonist's setting.
In addition, the quality of the group performances was very good, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Others are fine, more of it you get what you pay for. Considering the production cost of an episode of "Sherlock" is over one million pounds (about 10 million RMB), it should have been Higher production level.
"Chen, it's your performance next, are you ready?"
"Of course," Chen Linfeng put on his windbreaker and specifically turned up the collar. He gave Sherlock Some small features of the settings.
Director Steven confirmed again, "Long lines and long shots, okay?"
"Okay."
"Okay, everyone is ready."
In Chen Linfeng Once in position,
“action!”
Martin (Watson) looked confused,
“We have just met and haven’t said a few words, but we are going to look at houses together now?”
“What’s the problem? "
Martin glanced at his friend behind him, and for a moment he didn't know if there was something wrong with the other person or himself.
He continued, "We know nothing about each other, and..."
Martin forgot his words for a moment, so he stretched out his hand to signal, "Sorry, it's my problem."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand and said it was no problem. After all, it was a long shot, and mistakes were inevitable.
This scene is the first meeting between Sherlock and Watson. Originally, the director planned to cut the scene normally to shoot front and back.
It was just Chen Linfeng's suggestion that it would be best to use a long shot with one shot to the end, so that when Sherlock uses deduction to express his prediction of Watson's identity, he will have a sufficient shock effect.
But the long shot tested the actor's level and line skills too much. The director was very hesitant and finally only agreed to try it a few times. If it didn't work, he would switch back to the normal mode.
The two sides start again.
There was a problem from the beginning this time. Martin's expression was wrong and a bit stiff. He probably didn't adjust it properly just now.
Come again.
The next few lines always have small problems of one kind or another. The actor playing Watson's friend next to Martin made two mistakes even though he had no lines.
Until the 8th shot.
Martin didn't have any problems this time and continued the conversation just now.
"We know nothing about each other, I don't know your name, I don't even know where to meet."
Chen Linfeng frowned and thought for a while, it is true,
“I know you are a military doctor and you have just returned from being injured in Afghanistan.
I know you have a very rich brother and he is very worried about you, but you refuse to ask him for help because You can't stand him.
Maybe it was because he was an alcoholic, but more likely because he had recently abandoned his wife. "
Martin was stunned and shocked. His friend chuckled and lowered his head because he knew Sherlock.
Chen Linfeng continued.
" I also know that your counselor believes that your lameness is a physical and mental illness, and I think this judgment is quite correct.
Finally, this kind of understanding should be enough for roommates, what do you think? ”
Martin was speechless for a while, and he couldn't help but ask, "So you investigated me in advance?"
While he was speaking, he looked back at his friend, wondering if he had leaked his situation.
Chen Linfeng said calmly, "This information is all obtained through observation. I call it deductive method."
"Deductive method?"
" Yes.”
Martin couldn't believe it, "You know my situation just by looking at me?"
"It's not just a glance, I observed it very carefully." Chen Linfeng stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes .
“First of all, your hairstyle and posture can tell that you are a soldier.
Secondly, when you entered the door, you mentioned the word 'different from the past' about this hospital now. It means you are a military doctor.
Thirdly, your face is tanned but your wrists are not. It means you have returned from abroad, but you are not sunbathing.
Furthermore, your mobile phone is very expensive, but you still need to find someone to rent it with, which means that the mobile phone should be a gift from someone else.
The female name with the male surname on the mobile phone is now given to others as a gift, probably due to divorce.
There is wear and tear on the charging socket of the mobile phone. It can be speculated that the person charging the phone has shaking hands, probably due to drinking. "
After Chen Linfeng finished speaking at a very fast speed, he turned around to leave.
Before leaving the house, he turned back and said, "Forgot to introduce, my name is Sherlock Holmes. , the address is 221B Baker Street. ”
He blinked and said, "Good afternoon."
Then he disappeared.
Martin once again couldn't help but look back at his friend.
The other party forced a smile and said, "Yes, that's how he behaves."
"Cut!"
"Oho~" All the actors and staff applauded and cheered.
Unexpectedly, Chen Linfeng and Martin only took half a day to complete this long shot.
Originally everyone thought it would take at least two days, and it was normal if it was not completed.
It’s so easy to make mistakes with such a long sequence of lines.
Steven applauded and praised, "Chen, you are so good. This shot is wonderful. I have to say, you are a genius."
Chen Linfeng looked very calm, "Isn't this natural? I am Sherlock Holmes." "Yes, you are the best candidate for Sherlock." Martin gave a thumbs up.
As a person who has experienced it, he understands how difficult it is to have long shots and long lines.
You know, he has been preparing for a long time since he learned about the shooting plan for this section and changed it to a long shot.
However, even so, several mistakes were made.
Everyone else around them had expressions of admiration on their faces, feeling that this show seemed a bit interesting, and maybe it could really make some noise.
As a forensic doctor, Liu Qianqian appeared earlier than Watson, and she also watched the whole scene.
Even though I had known that Xiaofeng’s acting skills were very high, I never expected that it would reach this level.
She clapped her hands happily, her palms turning red.
Using her acting skills to impress others, isn't this her ideal in life?
Chen Linfeng actually knew that he was cheating a bit. After all, memorizing lines was no problem for him at all.
As for such long and continuous lines, it is easy for actors to make mistakes, and the most important thing is that they cannot guarantee that they will not forget them at all.
If you have distracting thoughts while performing, you will naturally make mistakes easily.
Speaking of which, he strongly suggested that the director include such a scene, and it was out of necessity.
The atmosphere on the set was not good at the beginning, especially some of the staff, who seemed not to be very attentive.
I'm not very convinced of him as the protagonist.
There was even one manager who always told him and Liu Qianqian the last news.
Every time I meet him, my attitude is very bad.
This is intentional.
Outside public opinion has been controversial about Chen Linfeng, a Chinese, playing the leading role.
People on the set will also be affected.
If this atmosphere continues, the production quality of "Sherlock" may be dragged down.
That’s why Chen Linfeng came here just once, just to let everyone know that he, the protagonist, has real skills.
With this premise, the rest of the crew will not become blind in the follow-up. He only thinks that becoming the protagonist is a completely wrong decision, which will affect his work.
Of course, Chen Linfeng's character of retribution will definitely not let go of those who neglect him.
After filming this scene, that afternoon, he asked Suvit to have dinner together.
The matter of housekeeping was mentioned at the dinner table, and we requested that this person be replaced.
I dare not underestimate the person who is the producer, author of the original work, and starring in the show, and he shows it so straightforwardly.
This must be a hopeless type with racial thoughts in his head. If he keeps it, he might cause trouble.
Suvit already knew about today’s filming process. Chen, as the leading actor, performed well and was recognized and praised by everyone, and the news reached her ears.
Even if it didn't happen today, if the other party raised this issue, she would help solve it.
Suvit agreed decisively.
The next day, the scene manager was asked to leave the crew and replaced by another one.
You are not a fool, of course you know why.
This Chen is really an abnormal Asian. If it were another Asian, he would be more likely to swallow his anger.
After all, yesterday afternoon, the field management was already releasing goodwill, and others thought they understood the matter.
Just kidding, in China, who doesn’t know that Xiao Chen is petty.
I have offended Xiao Chen and want to reconcile easily, but it is not that easy.
After this incident, everyone has a deeper understanding of this seemingly friendly writer and actor.
When everyone faced Chen, they had a sense of service and showed the gentlemanly style of the British Empire.
However, the sudden changes did not include several main actors.
They have a higher level, have more channels for obtaining information, and know much more about Chen Linfeng than the average person.
The agent behind the scenes has long warned that he should maintain a good relationship with Chen.
Otherwise, why do you think they were so friendly and even specially invited Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian to drink together.
The euphemistic name is to cultivate feelings between important characters in advance, but in fact no one is stupid.
British actors who want to go further often head towards Hollywood.
As a well-known screenwriter in Hollywood, Chen Linfeng might use this relationship someday, so of course he had to show his friendship
From the beginning, they had made up their minds. .
As for the lower-level ordinary actors and behind-the-scenes staff, they may not necessarily know that Chen Linfeng's reputation is well known to everyone, at least by the big writers.
It’s just that they have no intention of developing into Hollywood, so naturally they don’t care.
You have to have real skill in your hands to restrain them.
Now that the show can be filmed well, it will save them a few steps and make them less busy. For them, it is a more immediate benefit.
But no matter what, Chen Linfeng has had a lot of contact with several of the main actors, and is considered to be familiar with them, and he has some understanding of them.
Martin Freeman may seem honest on the surface, but in fact, he occasionally swears and makes some cold jokes.
According to him, this is the orthodox British gentleman style.
In fact, the one who is more conventionally gentlemanly is Mark Gatiss. Although he is a crook, he has to be said to have the air of an old British gentleman.
In fact, maybe this is a real British gentleman, after all, the country is corrupt.
Andrew Scott, as a villain, has some eccentric acting skills, but he is really good at evolving his character.
Privately, I like to joke more, and I feel like a pretty good person.
But Chen Linfeng always behaved very politely, so it was better for everyone to keep a certain distance.
In addition, Una Stubbs, who plays Mrs. Hudson, is more difficult to comment on. She is quite kind, but she likes to tell Chen Linfeng some religious stories.
I guess I know that there are many atheists in China.
After Chen Linfeng hit a wall, he turned to Liu Qianqian again.
Sissi would not be able to deal with such an old lady. For a while, she often complained to Chen Linfeng.
During this time in the UK, Chen Linfeng was not only focusing on the crew of "Shenxia", but also following up on the later stages of "Police Incident".
By the beginning of August, the version submitted for review was ready and sent to it in advance, waiting for review.
