A few hours later, hotel lobby.
The other frightened guests had already gone back to their rooms to rest.
Ordinary islanders have long been accustomed to small earthquakes of this magnitude.
This matter to them is the same as the attitude of people in Guangdong Province towards flying cockroaches.
Hate it, but have no choice but to coexist.
However, most of the "Initial D" crew members, especially the leading actors, still stayed in the lobby, waiting quietly.
Soon, a trailer truck parked at the entrance of the hotel.
On top of it is a black GTR with half of its body collapsed.
The location of the collapse is on the left side of the car body. The surface is full of pits and looks very uneven.
And everyone can see that the car was hit from the side and above.
Everyone came to the door and looked at the scrapped filming vehicle, making tut-tsk sounds from time to time.
Zhang Yuan has a big heart. Seeing this, he feels frightened.
“Fortunately, the island country has right-hand drive vehicles. If it were in China...the driver should have become one with the vehicle.”
Not long after the scrapped car was pulled to the hotel, a Nissan van also Stopped in front of the hotel lobby.
The car door opened, and the first person to jump out of the car was director Liu Weiqiang with his head wrapped in gauze and a solemn expression.
Behind him is Mr. Takahashi, the island country’s speeding instructor.
This man’s left arm is in a plaster cast, and the injury is obviously serious.
"Director..." Several actors immediately came forward to greet him.
Most film crews in China implement a director-centered system.
Only those with big beards are rare, similar to the producer-centered system in North America.
Therefore, among Chinese crews, once the director has a problem, the crew will have to shut down, which is one of the most serious crew accidents.
Only a producer-centric company like Big Beard would dare to drive away the director more than half way through the filming like "Dragon Movie" did.
Liu Weiqiang waved his hand and sighed while saying: "I have nothing serious."
"Takahashi-san is more injured, he has a fracture."
Why? What's going on?
Just as Jay Cun and Guan Xi farted in a competition, Zhang Yuan hid aside with a look of disgust.
A small, low-intensity earthquake occurred in Mount Shiina.
In this earthquake, no one was killed and two people were injured... just the two brothers in front of them.
Why were they so unlucky to become the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks in the earthquake?
There are several types of speeding scenes shot by the crew.
As I said before, several cars are prepared for different shootings.
Among the long shots, especially those involving several cars fighting on a mountain road, in fact, half of the shots did not require actors to leave the country in person.
It was all about speeding stunts and driving the car there to film.
After all, even if the actors are dedicated, what’s the use if you don’t know how to drift a car?
Is there any specialization in the art industry?
And the racing scenes in the film are all at night.
So for scenes that do not require actors to appear, the director will take a group of people to the mountains to shoot alone in the evening after the crew has finished work.
Liu Weiqiang may have a temper, but his dedication is genuine.
On the set, the director is more tired than the actors.
They were taking a break to soak in the hot springs, and Director Liu was still drinking in the mountains.
Today I was filming on Mt. Shiina, and there was an earthquake.
An earthquake caused small-scale landslides in some mountains.
Just then, a stone as big as one person slipped from the mountain wall and hit the vehicle driven by Mr. Takahashi who was drifting.
This is reality, not a movie. There is no passionate drama where the person behind is collapsing and the person in front is slamming on the accelerator and running wildly.
If it hits, it hits.
Moreover, the horsepower of these medieval vehicles is not very large, generally around one to two hundred horses. In later generations, a 100,000-class tram will be able to completely defeat them.
Coupled with modifications to suit drifting and facilitate filming, these cars generally drive at speeds of sixty to eighty, and the sense of speed depends entirely on post-production editing and special effects.
It was also due to his slow speed and the fact that Takahashi was a former professional driver. He immediately stabilized the car after being hit.
Otherwise, once it turns over, it will not be as simple as a broken arm.
Takahashi injured his hand, but what about Liu Weiqiang?
He was even more unlucky.
A small piece of the stone that smashed the car broke out and flew onto his forehead.
There was a two centimeter hole and a big swelling.
He was glad for this.
Not that I was lucky that my eyes or other important organs were not injured.
But I was glad that I didn't smash the main camera in front of me... It was an old instinct in the photography industry.
However, being injured is actually a trivial matter.
After all, it’s injured and needs treatment.
Trouble is yet to come.
The next day.
"Fortunately, the beach scene was filmed in advance." Liu Weiqiang said with lingering fear.
After the earthquake, the beach was flooded and now it is a mess, full of garbage.
There are also broken water pipes and gas pipes on the streets, and construction and rescue workers are everywhere.
Island countries are not like China, which can be completed in a few days. If you don’t have to pay the salary for several months, it will not be a big deal for a few months.
Now that the nearby streets are flooded, the scenes in the city will definitely be delayed.
Even more troublesome is Mount Shiina.
After a landslide, the local government sent people to deal with the scene, but only temporarily.
Not only is part of the ground cracking, but there is also concern about secondary landslides.
So some sections of the road are closed.
And after Mr. Takagi was injured, Liu Weiqiang contacted other island countries for speed stunts, but no one was willing to come.
With this little money, what if I lose my life here?
Add money?
It’s not possible to add more money.
This is not China. If you give enough money, workers can do anything.
So, the drama on the mountain will also have to be delayed.
Liu Weiqiang is worried about all this coming and going!
"Well, I want to discuss it with everyone now." Director Liu called the leading actors to his room and sat down to listen to him.
"The filming of the crew may have to be postponed."
"I would like to ask if there are any problems with your schedule."
Huang Qiusheng and Du Wenze shook their heads.
Brother B Zhong Zhentao raised his hand: "I have signed a film contract later."
"Your role is not a big problem, it can be postponed for two or three days."
"That's no problem. "Brother B put down his arm.
"Edison, what about you?"
"I'm okay. The delay should not exceed a month, and I should be able to adjust."
"That's okay."
"I can't do it!"
"I can't do it!"
At this time, two people raised their arms.
Of course it’s Zhang Yuan and Jay Chou.
"I have arranged the concert and have negotiated with the venue and performers in advance. If it is postponed, it will be very troublesome."
"Like Brother B, I have signed with the same crew, and I am Starring, you must rush back, otherwise you will lose money."
Big Beard's contract clearly states that if the filming is delayed, he will be compensated 200,000 yuan a day.
I only pay RMB 8,000 for one episode. If I miss one day, I will have to pay RMB 200,000.
I came two days late and lost all my salary, so I still owe him.
This is the big beard.
"Two hundred thousand..." Liu Weiqiang also had a headache when he heard this number.
Director Liu calculated that if there is a delay of two to three weeks, Zhang Yuan will lose millions.
And Jay Chou is even more powerful. All kinds of compensation are included. If it is not handled well, the loss may be nearly 10 million.
Why do artists say they are rushing to make announcements? They are rushing to make announcements.
If you can’t catch up, you’ll really lose money!
Guan Xi glanced at the two of them, feeling a little uncomfortable.
We are of the same age, and they both came from grassroots backgrounds.
But now I am the only one not rushing for the next announcement. Both of their schedules are surprisingly full.
And they both have women accompanying them, but I don’t!
Brother Guanxi also sticks to his profession.
"Two, how about we discuss it."
Didi didi... At this time, Zhang Yuan's cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. He said hello and went out to answer the phone.
"Well...I'll make a call too." Jay also picked up the phone and walked to the bathroom.
In the corridor outside the door.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the caller ID on his phone, thought for a moment, and picked up the call.
"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan."
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay... ”
Zhang Yuan: ...
The caller was Liu Qianqian, a classmate who was participating in the "training camp" of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Xiangshan, Zhejiang.
If you talk like that, I will ask you to bring chocolates and plums... As soon as Zhang Yuan picked up the answer, he heard Sissi's anxious voice.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine... By the way, why did you call me suddenly and ask me if I was okay."
"I saw the earthquake in the island country." She He breathed a sigh of relief and returned. "Oh..." Zhang Yuan summed up.
Gunma Prefecture is not far from Tokyo, the largest city in the island country, about more than 100 kilometers.
But because it is not far from Tokyo, not many non-natives know about the Gunma area. After all, they always go to Tokyo when visiting.
And the scale of this earthquake was small, so Tokyo should not be affected.
Now is the era of paper media. Information is far less detailed and complex than in the Internet era, and it is impossible to read it casually.
Therefore, she must have been paying attention to the situation in Gunma, so she knew something happened here.
"How was the filming?"
"Not bad." He thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry, I will go back on time."
"Okay... no, I don't care if you come back on time or not." She suddenly said coquettishly.
"Okay, if you don't care, I will be back on time, don't worry."
"Okay, by the way, don't forget to bring me a gift."
Putting down his mobile phone, he took out a cigarette and remembered that smoking was not allowed in the hotel corridor, so he stuffed it back.
“This is a foodie.”
“I came all the way here, no bags, no perfume, I have to bring some food back.”
"This Shiroi Koibito chocolate chip cookie is quite famous."
"But it is a specialty of Hokkaido. I am in Kanto, and it takes several hours to fly."
"Fortunately, Tokyo is not far away, and we have everything we can buy. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble."< br>
He turned around and was about to go in, but was suddenly stunned.
"White Lover...Little Dragon Girl seems to be dressed in white."
Without having time to think about why he had to buy this, he opened the door and entered the house.
As soon as they entered, they found Liu Weiqiang, who had a frown on his face before, now happily holding Jay Chou's arm.
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
"Hey, Zhang Yuan." The director waved when he saw him.
As he approached, Liu Weiqiang spoke excitedly.
“Jay just called the company and he decided to cancel the subsequent concert.”
"We filmed on the set with all our strength until the scene was over."
"And Jay also said something that moved me very much."
Liu Weiqiang sat up straight, "He said that I was in his I will always be with you.”
Indeed, Liu Weiqiang was very moved after hearing this.
The previous prejudice against this forced protagonist, the prejudice against Baodao people, and the complaints about his poor acting skills all disappeared at this moment.
It makes sense for Jay Chou to be successful.
Always do the things at hand well. Not everyone has this sense of responsibility and the courage to bear losses.
This is his first movie, and he really takes it very seriously.
But Liu Weiqiang said this specifically to Zhang Yuan, and the meaning was obvious.
It’s such a troublesome thing for others to cancel the concert, and the losses are greater than yours. After all this, have you...
Zhang Yuan could guess his intention even by picking up his toenails.
Jaylen is the first male and I am the third male. Can it be the same?
I only have so many roles, and it takes so long.
He will take this film not only because the cycle is short and the money is large, but also because the film is useful to him and fits his plan.
Otherwise he would go to all the trouble to travel overseas.
And who is he? He has hired all the bearded men, but he still lacks a Xiangjiang guy like you.
"I'm sorry, director, I can only do it according to the contract, there is really no schedule."
After Zhang Yuan said sincerely, Liu Weiqiang suddenly turned dark.
This mainland guy is so difficult to deal with, and he can’t get enough oil and salt.
Brother B on the side looked at Zhang Yuan with a snicker.
"I am not influenced by external forces and I am quite determined."
"I have my own ideas and can withstand pressure. I am a great talent."
"Director, please tell me first. If there is any part of the scene that cannot be filmed, let's discuss it and see if there are other ways to solve it. "Zhang Yuan is not being aggressive, but looking for a way out based on principles.
"Now that Takahashi-san is injured, we don't know if the mountain is in danger of another landslide."
"No stunt dares to come."
"So no one filmed your character's racing scene."
"In addition to the long shots, there are also some medium shots and close shots that were not filmed."
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, then looked up .
“You dare not do stunts, it’s a matter of stunts.”
“Do our crew in Xiangjiang dare to do this?”
"What's wrong with this?" Liu Weiqiang didn't take it seriously at all.
These Xiangjiang guys really dare to do anything. Many things are known to Hollywood, and people feel scared.
You Chinese people are desperate for your life... the white masters said in horror.
Just like the scene where Uncle Long jumped off the building in "Who Am I".
Although there was a stand-in, most of it was done by himself, and it was still a real shot.
If you let stuntmen do real shots in Hollywood, the Screen Actors Guild will sue you to death.
"Okay, let me figure out a way to handle the speeding stunts." Zhang Yuan replied seriously.
"Are you...are you sure?" Liu Weiqiang asked doubtfully.
"Sure." He remained firm: "If you are worried, just take a look at the effect when shooting at night."
He has such a wide network, does he know people in the island country?
In the evening, after a simple cleaning, the debris was removed from Mount Shiina.
The crew is fully present as usual.
Not only that, there are two more people than usual today.
Chen Xiaochun and Liu Genghong!
Ji Ge and the fitness coach didn’t know whether it was unlucky or lucky, but they came to the set just after the earthquake.
After what happened in the morning, Liu Weiqiang had some objections to Zhang Yuanting and felt very unhappy.
In addition, this kid's performance ability made him feel uncomfortable before.
The reason for the discomfort is not that I am not bad, but that I am better than my peers in Xiangjiang.
So, he pulled Chen Xiaochun and muttered.
"Xiaochun, there is a mainlander in the crew, do you know?"
"I've heard of it." Brother Ji smiled and nodded.
Liu Weiqiang explained the matter in general, and Zhang Yuan was a bit unreasonable.
"Xiaochun, we all acted in "Young and Dangerous", let's not lose our place!" Liu Weiqiang encouraged him.
They are indeed very familiar and considered good friends.
Although Chen Xiaochun is not from Xiangjiang, he is from Guangdong Province and is considered to be in the same circle. Naturally, he helps relatives but not others.
"When we act later, we must overpower him."
"Be more energetic!"
"Let's see what he does!"
Brother Xiaochun adjusted himself Hair cover, chest puffed out, full of momentum.
“Okay, well done.”
While they were talking, they could hear the sound of tires rubbing against each other not far away.
Within ten seconds, two lights broke through the light fog at night and shined in front of the director team.
Squeak...
As the red line formed by two red taillights crossed in front of them, a black GTRR32 next to the camera drifted with inertia and passed in front of everyone.
“Hey, it’s so fast!” Brother Xiaochun said in surprise.
"Mr. Takahashi is already able to drive?" Liu Weiqiang asked in surprise.
The same is true for drifting. In fact, everyone’s actions and habits are different.
For example, the skills of the Xiangjiang Speedster stuntman in the crew are completely different from those of Takahashi-san from the island country.
There are many types of drift, inertial drift, break drift, pendulum drift...
Although Liu Weiqiang is not a professional racing driver, he can see it after watching it for a long time.
The set of flowing movements just now were obviously Takahashi-san's skills.
“Tsk, but the level is much worse than before.”
“The car is not that stable, and the operation is not that extreme.” Director Liu sighed.
"However, he has a broken bone now and only has one hand. It is not easy to be able to open like this."
"Holy shit!" Thinking of this, Liu Weiqiang suddenly reacted Come over.
"The solution Zhang Yuan is talking about is not to force Takahashi-san to continue working."
"It would be terrible if the island country's performance union sued us!"
Liu Weiqiang's heart trembled.
At this time, a figure slowly walked to the director, holding a drink in one hand.
"Liu Sang, good evening." This man said hello to Liu Weiqiang in Chinese with a strong Taijun flavor.
"Oh, good evening, Takahashi-san." Liu Weiqiang also turned around and said hello to speedster Katsuda Takahashi.
“What are you talking about?”
“We are talking about you, even if you are injured, you can still drift, it is really amazing... Oh, that’s not right!”
Liu Wei Qiang suddenly turned his head and looked at Takahashi-san who looked innocent.
This guy even twisted his neck because he was spinning too fast.
"No...you are here."
"Who was in the car that just drove by?" (End of Chapter)
