Chapter 66 Shooting
In the blink of an eye, the crew has been filming in Bangkok for a month. The crew got along well in the early stage, and the later filming became smoother and smoother.
As a director and actor, Gu Wei has a lot to do every day.
He is the leading actor, and he has the most scenes to shoot.
As a director, he also has to decide whether each shot is qualified.
It's easy when he's filming other people's scenes, but it's very troublesome when he's filming his own scenes.
This is due to Gu Wei's early work arrangements. He has an excellent and capable producer, an experienced assistant director, and a supervisor who can correct deficiencies.
He doesn’t need to worry about the big or small things of the crew, nor does he need to worry about the arrangement of daily shooting tasks. He only needs to make the final decision.
Even so, Gu Wei was still in a hurry.
He also understood why many actors who changed careers to become directors, even if they succeeded, still turned around and continued to be actors and film movies honestly.
For example, Wu Jing, even though Wolf Warrior 2 was so successful, he did not say that he would continue to direct and shoot more movies. On the contrary, after he became famous, he had more choices, chose a good crew to join, and continued to be an actor honestly.
Directors and actors are two completely different professions. Compared with the latter, the former requires much more energy.
When he was free, Gu Wei also communicated with Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said that Gu Wei is the most relaxed director he has ever seen.
He said that the older generation of directors must be the kind of people who are particularly energetic to be competent.
Because the director needs to do too much work from the start of filming to the completion of a movie. The crew has to worry about all the big and small things. The smaller the crew, the more tired the director is. Sometimes he even has to wear multiple hats.
Some directors are very controlling. He regards his movies as his own children. He has to control how to shoot and design every shot, and will never let others interfere. It is naturally more difficult to do everything in detail.
Directors like Gu Wei who divide all the work among themselves are rare in the industry.
Gu Wei thought, ‘When you see people from all walks of life switching careers to become directors, you won’t think that I am so rare. ’
In the morning, in the hotel room of the crew.
"Sister Li, get up, you have a show today." Gu Wei gently patted Zeng Li, who was sleeping beside him, and asked her to get up.
Since the conversation that night, there has been a strange relationship between the two.
Zeng Li would never admit that she and Gu Wei were boyfriend and girlfriend. She stubbornly believed that they were brother and sister.
But she never resisted Gu Wei, and seemed to enjoy it.
She was very obsessed with Gu Wei's young and strong body.
Of course, Gu Wei was very happy for Zeng Li's welcome. For more than ten nights in a row, Gu Wei finally knew how good his sister was.
Zeng Li was woken up by Gu Wei. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Gu Wei's handsome face with a happy smile on his face.
Two white and tender arms stretched out from the quilt, raised high above the head, and stretched.
"Morning, brother."
The two got up together and went downstairs to have breakfast.
Gu Wei and Zeng Li's hotel rooms were on the same floor and were the best room types in the hotel. The only people on the same floor as them were Chen Zhixi, Wang Baoqiang, Lu Yang and a few directors.
Every time Gu Wei came to see Zeng Li, he would be very careful to see if anyone was there.
He didn't care about being said by others, mainly because of Zeng Li's reputation.
Today we filmed an indoor scene.
The venue is 'Axiang's' home. The main story is that Tang Ren, Qin Feng, a group of robbers, Kuntai, and Huang Langdeng entered Axiang's home respectively, and the drama caused laughter. Variety of effects.
This scene is basically the most important scene in the entire movie for Zeng Li, the heroine of the movie.
Today Zeng Li was wearing a pink tulle skirt, with her snow-white chest exposed, her hair combed high, a pair of golden earrings on her ears, and the fair skin on her face reflected the Seductive red lips. She is not only beautiful but also shows her aura as the most beautiful woman in Tangren Street.
This scene involves several main characters in the movie, but Qin Feng, played by Gu Wei, doesn’t have much of a role. He shows two sides and says one line, and he’s just a show-off. .
This way Gu Wei can concentrate on watching other people's shooting results.
The wanted Tang Ren and Qin Feng came to Axiang's home in the evening.
Axiang opened the door and welcomed them into the house. Before they could say a few words, the trio of robbers also arrived outside Axiang's door.
Axiang, who had misunderstood, let the robbers into the house, and then Kuntai also arrived according to his agreement with Tang Ren.
The whole process was that Axiang kept opening the door to let these groups into the house.
Finally, Langdon Huang arrived with the cake. At this time, the second floor of the house was already full of people.
"Stuck!"
After Gu Wei finished filming the first scene where Tang Ren and Qin Feng entered the room, he came to the monitor.
"Sister Li, don't be too strong in Axiang's aura here. When facing Huang Langdeng, be charming, but don't be tough."
"I understand, director" Zeng Li thought for a while said.
It has been many years since Zeng Li graduated from Chinese Opera, and her acting skills are still guaranteed. After Gu Wei told her what effect she should perform, she took the initiative to adjust her condition.
Do it again, and you can clearly feel that Axiang's aura has softened.
"Stuck! Okay, this is passed."
After filming the entrance scene, we moved to the second floor.
The first thing to shoot was after Langdon Huang and his assistant went upstairs, they searched the entire house, and finally several people who were forced to hide appeared one after another.
This part was shot very smoothly, and there were no problems with the actors' performances. The camera moved with the actors under the command of Director Huang.
Gu Wei watched from behind and was very satisfied with the effect. After everyone finished shooting, he would just go into the closet and shoot another shot.
After today's scene was shot, Gu Wei took the call from his assistant.
"Mr. Gu, Sister Yang is looking for you." The assistant said, handing over the phone.
“Hello?” The voice of manager Yang Liwen came from the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Gu, you asked me to contact the technology company in Beijing before, and I have already contacted their CEO.
However, they still have doubts about our intentions and strength. Do you think you will make an appointment to meet with them after you return to China? "
Gu Wei immediately became energetic after hearing Yang Liwen's words.
"No problem, you can help me build a good relationship. My movie will be completed in about a month. , You told their CEO that I would personally visit them after returning to China. ”
Gu Wei was still in a state of excitement after hanging up the phone.
After returning from the New Year, Gu Wei asked his agent Yang Liwen to help him contact a company in Beijing named [Zi Zi] beat].
After making contact, express your willingness to invest with the other person.
He returned to the capital after the Chinese New Year and has been intensively preparing for "Detective Chinatown". He flew to Bangkok as soon as the movie started filming and had no time to do it by himself.
Although Yang Liwen was very puzzled that Gu Wei wanted to invest in the other party but he didn't even know where the other party was.
But this is a task assigned by the boss, and you must try your best to complete it. You don't need to be too curious as an employee.
