Chapter 716 [Tang Detective 3] Shooting starts
May 2, Tokyo.
The flight from Beijing landed at Tokyo International Airport, and the crew of [Tang Detective 3] officially arrived.
In fact, the staff of [Wei Ming Xia] came to Tokyo as early as half a year ago and began to select locations, recruit actors, and build shooting locations.
During this period, Gu Wei also took the time to fly over twice to finalize some things.
Like "Tang Detective 2", the third part was shot in Tokyo and undoubtedly chose some of the iconic buildings and venues here as the background of the story.
For example, the world's largest intersection - Shibuya Crossing, the famous business district Shinjuku, the two-dimensional paradise Akihabara, and the iconic Tokyo Tower, etc.
The crew hotel.
Gu Wei and his team arrived at the location and settled in briefly. Then the director team held a small meeting to sort out the recent shooting process.
“Okay, you did a good job, then we will shoot according to the pre-plan for the next two months. If there are any problems in the meantime, we will discuss and decide
How is the build in Shibuya going? "
After listening to the report, Gu Wei asked the deputy director Zhao Liang who was responsible for the overall preparation.
"The main body has been completed, we can go over and shoot at any time"
Shibuya It is a relatively important venue in "Tang Detective 3". There is a scene where the two protagonists are throwing money wildly at the intersection.
But Shibuya in Tokyo is like Times Square in New York, with a lot of people. It is very big, with 3,000 people passing through every minute, and more than 2.5 million people walking around here every day, so it is impossible to compromise for Gu Wei and the others to make a movie.
After discussion, the crew decided to recreate a 1:1 Shibuya in Tochigi Prefecture, some distance away from downtown Tokyo.
"Very good, let's get here first. Let's go back and prepare for the official shooting tomorrow!"
"Okay, director~"
"Understood~"< br>
After the meeting with the director team, Gu Wei did not take a break. He found several main actors and introduced them to everyone. Then he conducted a simple script reading, mainly sorting out the content to be filmed in the early period.
"Baoqiang, this is Ms. Yui Aragaki.
Aragaki is very famous in our country."
Tsumabuki Satoshi worked together in the second film. No introduction is needed. The main actors added in the three films are Yui Aragaki and Tony Jaa.
"Hello, Miss Aragaki, you are really beautiful. No wonder Director Gu asked you to play the heroine in the movie. You are so discerning!" Wang Baoqiang said with a smile on his face, praising him twice in one sentence. personal.
Gu Wei was by his side to help him translate.
In real life, there is no simultaneous translator like the one in "Tang Detective 3" that can communicate without obstacles with just a small earphone, so in addition to the staff and actors, there are also some hired translators on the crew.
After listening to Gu Wei's translation, Aragaki Yui opened her mouth slightly, showing a sweet smile.
"Thank you!
Mr. Wang Baoqiang, nice to meet you.
I have seen the movies you have shot. They are really amazing and your acting skills are great!" She held out her thumb.
"Have the Japanese seen my movie? Is it so famous?" Wang Baoqiang looked at Gu Wei in disbelief.
"Ahem~ Baoqiang, you have to have confidence in yourself. After all, you are a man who can beat the best actor." Gu Wei felt that Yui Aragaki was being polite, but of course he couldn't say that in front of Baoqiang. .
After introducing the two, he greeted Tony Jia, his wife and others, including Satoshi Mu, and everyone exchanged pleasantries and sat down to start reading the script.
The story of [Tang Detective 3] is not complicated. Gu Wei, Wang Baoqiang and Tsumabuki Satoshi can just continue their previous acting styles. They mainly help Tony Jia and Yui Aragaki determine the characters and their roles in the movie. location.
"Gu Sang, do you think my character Anna Kobayashi is a bad person?"
After discussing for a while, Aragaki Yui asked Gu Wei while holding her script.
"What do you think?" Gu Wei did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
Aragaki Yui raised her head slightly and thought for a while.
“I don’t think she is a bad person.
Although the last scene revealed that she was the mastermind behind the entire case, whether it was the dead Sutsavi or the murderer, Ruan Wengang, or Watanabe Sheng, who was wrongly accused at the beginning, are not good people.
Anna Kobayashi’s family was broken up by gangsters when she was young. This can be considered just revenge.”
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
“Indeed, from the performance of our movie, Kobayashi Anna must not be a complete bad person.
Because she did not receive the punishment she deserved.
However, human nature is complicated. I have discussed good and evil, human nature and animal nature in the first two parts of "Tang Detective".
Although Anna Kobayashi is not a complete bad person, she is not a good person either.
She planned to kill Su Tsavi, tempted Ruan Wengang to kill, and framed Watanabe Sheng. It seemed like a just revenge, but the result was that all the two principals of the Southeast Asian Chamber of Commerce disappeared, and she eventually took over the rights of the chamber of commerce.
Generally speaking, Anna Kobayashi is an extremely smart woman with a desire for power. "
"So she is the villain in the movie?
But in the end, the villain was not punished and instead completed a perfect crime. Will the audience be dissatisfied? ”
The victory of good over evil is an eternal theme in movies. No matter how rugged and difficult the process is, the result usually does not change.
According to the setting of the guardian, [Tang Detective 3]’s final BOSS Kobayashi Anna got everything she wanted and escaped the sanction of the law, which became the victory of the villain.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
“No.
I’m just telling you what the core of Anna Kobayashi’s character is like, but throughout the movie until the final showdown between Qin Feng and her, you have to treat her as Play the role of a good person, a beautiful character who always stands on the side of justice
When watching the movie, the audience will also think that she is in the good guy camp, and even regard her as a partner of Qin Feng and Tang Ren.
Only after the last two people talked and Qin Feng expressed his reasoning, the identity of Anna Kobayashi was truly revealed.
The flipping at this time is the effect I hope the movie can achieve.
Moreover, although Anna Kobayashi was the mastermind behind everything, she did not commit any crime legally.
It was Sutsavi who planned to blame Watanabe, and Ruan Wengang who killed Sutsavi.
One of them framed others for money and interests, and the other committed serious murders for power and status.
Kobayashi Anna was in the middle to add fuel to the flames, but it was these two people who ultimately made the decision.
In other words, everything they do is caused by their own greed.
The last death, a surrender, is also the best result.
The effect of the movie I need to see is that after the audience knows that Anna Kobayashi is the mastermind behind the scenes, they will not hate her, but will only be amazed by the plot and her methods.
In the end, she told Qin Feng about her childhood experiences, which was also a kind of whitewashing of the character."
Aragaki Yui nodded slowly after listening to Gu Wei's words.
"I probably understand. That means that except for the last scene, I will always act as a good person." "That's right.
This character is a very smart and beautiful character. The setting is white and black, but most of the time in the beginning, he behaves like White Lotus, and then in the end he and the equally smart Qin Only by talking to the wind can one reveal his true nature."
When Gu Wei designed this character, he referred to "Sino" from the first film and "Song Yi" from the second film. He felt that this kind of Kobayashi Anna has more depth than the original character who killed someone to avenge her father, and the third film The department also needs a character with high intelligence to be established.
The script reading went smoothly on the first day. As the director, Gu Wei helped everyone sort out the roles they would play, and everyone had some idea of how they would behave after filming started.
The next day, the crew held a simple opening ceremony and officially started filming.
There are always problems of one kind or another when starting a new drama, and there is always a running-in period. The crew of "Tang Detective 3" comes from China and Japan, and the actors include actors from China, Japan, and Thailand. It was no less difficult than filming [Tang Detective 2] in New York.
According to the planned shooting plan, just after starting the filming, the crew went from simple to complex, shooting some relatively simple shots first.
"Today, I invited the master to redeem the dead President Sutsavi.
Over the years, I have always regarded him as my father." Outside the water house on the lake, Yui Aragaki was wearing a light green dress. Windbreaker had a sad look on his face.
"Miss Xiaolin, don't be sad.
If you want to cry, just cry in my broad chest." Baoqiang, who was wearing a plaid gown, had a vulgar look on his face. He always looked at beautiful women. Can't walk.
"In order to find the murderer of Mr. Suchawi as soon as possible, can I ask you what happened that night?" Gu Wei stood aside and asked in a serious tone.
The secret room murder case aroused his interest, and he felt that as Sutsavi's closest secretary, a senior executive of the Southeast Asian Chamber of Commerce, and one of the people at the scene that night, Anna Kobayashi might be able to provide some clues.
“Do you need to say more? It’s Watanabe Masaru!”
“So sure?”
“There was no one else in the room that night. We rushed in immediately after shouting."
"Click!" the assistant director's voice came from the loudspeaker.
Gu Wei walked to the camera and looked at the footage carefully.
"Yui-chan, come and see" He called Aragaki Yui over and replayed the scene just now.
“As I told you yesterday, in more than 90% of the scenes, you don’t want to have any murderers or masterminds behind the scenes.
You have to think, you are Su Chawei's closest secretary is very sad now that his boss has been killed. He thinks Watanabe Katsu is the murderer, but he will cooperate with all investigations because you also want to know the final truth and want the truth to be revealed
So. , the mood here should be a little sad, but the tone should not be too harsh”
"And be strong. You don't need to be too exaggerated in your words and actions. It's better to go too far than to go too far. Tang Ren's character style has been fixed. Although he likes beauties, he is not a pervert. He can't bore the audience."
Gu Wei finished speaking, Yui Aragaki and Wang Baoqiang each thought for a moment, and after a while everyone re-filmed the scene just now.
After the first few days of difficulty, the filming of [Tang Detective 3] is slowly getting back on track.
Since the first film was shot in Thailand, the crew of "Tang Detective" has already had rich experience in filming abroad.
The requirements for shooting in Tokyo are stricter than those in Thailand, but are more relaxed than those in New York.
The cost of "Tang Detective 3" has been upgraded compared to the second part. The production cost was as high as 100 million US dollars, so the crew was very generous with their money.
When money is not an issue, the filming of the movie will be very smooth, because most things can be solved directly with money.
In the evening, the crew hotel.
At the end of the day's shooting, Gu Wei had a meeting with the director team, sorted out the shooting tasks for the next day, and then returned to his room.
After washing up, he was preparing to work for a while. Being a director is different from being an actor. There are too many things to worry about, so Gu Wei has made the "Tang Detective" series of movies since his debut. He is currently in his third film. department.
To be an actor, all you have to do is act well. As long as the schedule is right, you can do three or four dramas a year. If you are like Yang Mi and Shuangzi, you can do more than ten dramas a year.
But being a director is different.
One film a year is considered a very prolific director.
Because there are so many things to worry about for a movie from preparation, casting, location selection to shooting, post-production and release.
For someone like Guo Fan, it is very normal for a movie to take three or four years to be made.
As soon as I sat down and opened my laptop, I received a message on my phone.
Gu Wei opened the line and saw a message from Yui Aragaki.
"Gu Sang, I have something to ask you about filming. Can I come and see you?"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Of course, I'll be waiting for you in the room"< br>
After a while, Yui Aragaki came to Gu Wei's room wearing a small white dress with suspenders and holding the script.
There was no one around, so she jumped on Gu Wei.
“Don’t you miss me?”
“Of course not, the crew has just started filming. I am a director and have too many things to do every day. I am already full of work and have no time to think about anything else.” Gu Wei held Aragaki Yui's perky buttocks and looked at her big moist eyes and explained.
"I know being a director is very busy, and I understand your hard work, but I really miss you.
Gu Sang wants to compensate me" Yui Aragaki's voice was coquettish. .
"Whatever you want, as long as I can do it"
"Gu Sang owes me a hot spring trip." Yui Aragaki said with a roll of his eyes.
Obviously, the last hot spring trip left a very good impression on her.
“No problem.
But this is not really a request, right? Do you want to change it?”
"No, I want this, and you have to make it up to me tonight."
"I'm willing to help."
As he spoke, Gu Wei had already carried Aragaki-chan to the bedroom, wearing a white dress. It slides down smoothly, revealing the beautiful scenery below.
Slender waist, slender legs, a firm chest, fair and smooth skin, the whole person is like a gift from God.
"Director Gu, is this an unspoken rule?" Yui Aragaki asked with a smile while lying on the bed.
"As the heroine, is Ms. Yui willing to be unspoken by me as the director?" Gu Wei pressed Aragaki Yui under him. Their noses were facing each other, and they could feel the hot breath exhaled by both parties.
Aragaki Yui swallowed, and the close touch had already made her face and body turn red.
"If it's Gu Sang, I can't refuse it."
"Then let me test your artistic attainments, Yui-chan."
Teasing. After saying this, Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
