Chapter 66 The Secret of Props
Yang Ye looked at the newspaper on the dining table and felt his head hurt.
He was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so he drove to the company depressedly.
Hu Yinmeng had tidied his desk and made tea for him.
This made Yang Ye feel better.
It’s comfortable to have Zong Yougui taking care of you at home and Hu Yinmeng taking care of you at work!
"Yinyin, you have been very diligent recently."
"This is my job!" Hu Yinmeng said, and then said: "Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Company, has already Arrived in Hong Kong."
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me first?"
"I called your home at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, so I made arrangements first. They were jet lagged while staying in a hotel.”
Yang Ye said oh, after finishing the press conference yesterday, he went on a date with Zhao Yazhi.
In Hong Kong, people have to ask people to check the date of everything. As a result, although there was a press conference yesterday, today is the official launch day.
It’s simply baffling, but even though Yang Ye doesn’t believe this, he can only do as the Romans do.
Yang Ye asked: "Which hotel should I stay in?"
"Peninsula Hotel."
"That's good, let's go!"
Yang Ye took Hu Yinmeng downstairs and said to Du Qifeng, who came to the company early: "A Feng, you drive the company car and follow me. "
The group arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, and Yang Ye quickly met Xie. He was in his thirties, with a high nose and deep eyes, and long gray-brown hair. He was dressed like a rocker. .
"Mr. Robert, welcome to Hong Kong."
"Hello, Nick, I watched your movie, you are better than Bruce Lee."
< br>
"Mr. Robert, thank you. I happen to have a few friends here. Let's have breakfast together!"
In the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, Yang Ye made a speech to several Japanese and Americans. introduce.
“This is Mr. Robert Shea from New Line Cinema in the United States. He is here to visit the filming of our new film.”
“This is Mr. Toshiro Mifune, the famous actor. He is the winner of the Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival twice.”
Robert Shea, a double Best Actor in Venice, was in awe, and the two shook hands solemnly and exchanged greetings.
Robert Shea complimented: "I have watched "Rashomon" starring you. It is really an immortal masterpiece."
Then Yang Ye introduced Yamaguchi Momoe and three others to Robert Shea. , everyone sat down to enjoy the delicious Cantonese morning tea.
“Oh, God, this shrimp dumpling is so delicious! I think I’m in love with Hong Kong.” Robert Shea said exaggeratedly.
In fact, everyone’s favorite food is the food from their hometown that they grew up eating. Robert Shea’s exaggeration is just a show.
After breakfast, the group drove to the set. Xia Meng had already asked people to prepare sacrifices. Yang Ye took the entire crew to worship the gods and burn incense together, praying to the second master for a smooth filming. profit.
The Japanese people respect the second master very much and worship him very devoutly. This made the crew very satisfied and felt that these little nips were very good.
Afterwards, Yang Ye personally unveiled the red cloth of the camera, and "Fist of Heroes" officially started filming.
What we are going to shoot today is the scene at the beginning of the movie where a group of Black Dragon Society samurai go to Kyoto University to cause trouble. Toshiro Mifune and Momoe Yamaguchi will be present.
Chiba Shinichi and Sanada Hiroyuki came over to watch how Hong Kong films are shot when they had nothing to do.
For the original first scene of the movie, Yang Ye had already rented equipment and went to Kyoto University to film it when he was in Japan, and now he was directly filming the fight scene in the classroom.
After Yang Ye and others put on makeup and changed into costumes, the lighting and camera positions of the venue were all adjusted in place.
Yang Ye called several dragon and tiger martial arts masters over and discussed the positioning issue again before filming started. Then he said to Yamaguchi Momoe: "Momoe-chan, after you finish your performance, you must hide in a corner with a few extras as soon as possible. The first is to make room for us to fight, and the second is to avoid Danger. Do you understand?"
Momohui Yamaguchi nodded, Yang Ye clapped his hands and said: "OK, all departments are in their positions, and the filming has officially started!"
After the personnel were in place, the scene recorder Johnnie To used the clapper board and shouted: "The second scene of the first scene of "Fist of Heroes", the first shooting. Exon!"
The professor wearing glasses stood in front of the podium with a pointer. Said: "Now let me explain the relationship between the fuel tank and the internal combustion engine..."
Chen Zhen sat in his seat and took notes seriously. Yamada Mitsuko deserted the class and turned around to talk to Yang Ye. At this time, the Black Dragon Society warrior broke into the classroom, pointed at Chen Zhen and shouted: "Chinese pig, get out!"
The professor stepped forward and asked: "Why are you fooling around here? ?”
Bushido: “Riben’s school is not for pigs to study.”
The professor said angrily: “Get out of here.”
Then the professor was bullied and his glasses were stepped on and broken.
Yamada Mitsuko stood up and said bravely: "What do you mean by this? Do you know how to bully people here?"
"Who are you, dare to talk to me like this?"
"Don't think that I'm afraid of you, I just don't take you seriously, Mitsuko Yamada."
The samurai stretched out his hand to hit Mitsuko, but Chen Zhen stood up. Photon hid behind Chen Zhen and made faces at several warriors.
Bushido: "I don't care who you are now, disappear immediately. I'll count to three, one, two..."
Chen Zhen stepped forward and punched this guy, instantly knocking him out. He's three your mother's size. .
A wonderful fight ensued. Chen Zhen used his tendon-splitting hand to remove all the limb joints of the warriors.
This fight scene has been choreographed many times by Yang Ye and the Longhu martial artists in advance, and now it is just officially shot.
It was like a performance, so the whole process went smoothly and was shot successfully in one take, leaving Robert Shea stunned.
Then Fumio Funakoshi, played by Toshiro Mifune, appeared.
This old guy's acting skills are already superb. His scenes with Yamaguchi Momoe and Yang Ye are all the same.
After the assistant director and photographer both signaled OK to Yang Ye, Yang Ye clapped his hands happily and said: "OK, passed, everyone performed very well."
Everyone immediately applauded.
Toshiro Mifune said: "Yang Sang, you really opened our eyes. I have never seen such a smooth film shooting process."
Robert Shea stepped forward and said: "Even in Hollywood, I have never seen it."
Yang Ye explained: "We Chinese like to get lucky when we do things. In order to avoid problems on the first day, We rehearsed for a long time in advance, so this scene played so smoothly. Of course, Mr. Mifune and Ms. Momoe’s acting skills were also very good, so this filming was able to pass smoothly.”
Momitoe Yamaguchi was a little bit. Worried: "Jun Ye, they hit their heads against the glass of the window. Isn't it dangerous?"
Yang Ye smiled and shouted towards the prop: "Bring me a piece of glass."< br>
Soon the prop brought over a small piece of glass, Yang Ye broke off a little, put it in his mouth and ate it, leaving Yamaguchi Momoe dumbfounded.
Yang Ye gave Yamaguchi Momoe a piece and said, "Try it too, it's crunchy and crunchy."
Yamaguchi Momoe took a dubious bite, her eyebrows suddenly stretched: "Sweet?"
"Well, this is glass made of sugar, so they won't be in danger, don't worry. And the wood on those windows was sawed off in advance."
Momoe Yamaguchi She had been making literary films before, so she had never been exposed to these, and it suddenly dawned on her.
Yang Ye asked the props to bring a stool over again and explained: "Look, this stool is completely sawed off, but I tied it up with some fishing wire."
< br>
When Yang Ye was talking, Hu Yinmeng was also translating to Robert Shea in English. Yang Ye was also speaking to Robert Shea.
Yang Ye took another bottle of talcum powder, sprinkled it on the stool, and continued: "Sprinkle this talcum powder on it, and when the stool is kicked to pieces, it will have an explosion effect, which is very beautiful. Artai, come here and cooperate."
Yuantai agreed, came over and played a few tricks with Yang Ye, and kicked the stool in Yang Ye's hand into pieces, causing dust to fly.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Isn't it beautiful?"
"Wow! What a wonderful design!" Yamaguchi Momoe admired and clapped.
Robert Shea also suddenly realized it and praised: "Hong Kong filmmakers are so smart."
After the filming of this scene, people were left to clean up the aftermath, and others began to change scenes.
Yang Ye and Robert Shea sat down and officially started negotiations.
