Chapter 252 Chapter 251 Saw Completes Filming

Yan Danchen is here!
After filming with the crew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for three months, her face, which used to be a bit chubby, has now become much thinner. Of course, she has also become prettier.

Turning his head to look at Yan Danchen, then at Xu Jinglei who was getting angry, Jiang Feng sighed.

It was Xu Jinglei’s first time directing and she was still inexperienced. Because of the live sound recording, when Yan Danchen screamed, her friends had already tried to cover it up, but she still stopped the filming.

"Director, you are this!"

The person who gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up was Liang Jiahui.

Others might not have seen Jiang Feng's performance clearly, but Liang Jiahui, who was acting opposite him, saw it clearly.

Apart from anything else, Jiang Feng's reaction was really quick. As soon as there was a scream at the shooting scene, he covered his mouth with his hands...

Seeing Liang Jiahui praising Jiang Feng, Xu Jinglei was a little confused.

Did I do something wrong? Or did I not know the right time to call for a stop? Or maybe Yan Danchen's scream was actually arranged by Jiang Feng, because this kid never follows the usual path.

I didn't understand, so I wanted to ask, this is a good opportunity to learn how to be a director. But before Xu Jinglei opened her mouth, she saw Jiang Feng raised his hand.

"Director Xu..."

"Ok?"

“Shall we start filming?

We will try to finish filming Saw today."

“Oh…Okay!”

Xu Jinglei agreed involuntarily, and nodded to Chen Kun beside her with the walkie-talkie in her hand.

Chen Kun understood and immediately raised the clapperboard in his hand.

"Action!"

The dead body was lying on the ground with its head blown open, holding a revolver in its left hand and a tape recorder in its right hand.

"vomit…"

Seeing the dead body on the ground, Jiang Feng immediately vomited.

As he was vomiting, he suddenly went crazy and kept dragging the chain on his feet, trying to break free. But no matter how hard he tried, the chain on the other end that was locked on the heating pipe remained motionless.

"Woooooooo..."

Jiang Feng was somewhat mentally broken.

"Calm down, you must calm down!"

At this time, Liang Jiahui, who was wearing a blue shirt opposite him, tried to comfort him.

"OK, passed, next scene."

With the experience from the previous two times, Xu Jinglei had a very good grasp of the timing of calling a halt this time. She called a halt just when Jiang Feng's emotions reached their peak.

The reason for this is, firstly, to ease the actors' emotions, for fear that the actors who are too immersed in the role will really do some extreme actions; secondly, to have a buffer, so that no matter whether the next performance is a progressive emotion or a downward emotion, you can start again from this time.

As expected, just as Xu Jinglei called for a stop, she saw Jiang Feng, Liang Jiahui and Zhang Guorong, who had just been lying on the ground, all giving her a thumbs up.

"Director Xu, there is progress!"

"Thank you, Brother Hui!"

"Director Xu, your timing for calling a halt was really good this time!"

"Thank you brother!"

"Director Xu, in one word, awesome!"

"That's awesome. You know, I'm a pretty good learner."

Unlike Liang Jiahui and Zhang Guorong, when Xu Jinglei was praised by Jiang Feng, she did not express her gratitude at the first time. Instead, she shook her long hair a little proudly, and then took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

"Are you sure we can finish the filming today?" Seeing that Jiang Feng was sitting on the floor, Xu Jinglei didn't mind the dirt, handed him the mineral water, and sat down next to him.

Anyway, this shabby-looking abandoned bathhouse has floor heating underneath, and sitting on the floor tiles is quite comfortable, otherwise even the superstar Zhang Guorong would not lie on the floor for an hour.

"more or less."

Jiang Feng looked at his watch, estimated the time, and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Jiang Feng, it doesn't matter if we can't finish filming Saw today. After all, you have already communicated with China Film Group. The filming time for this movie is 10 days, and only 8 days have passed."

“As soon as possible!

President Han came to me yesterday and said that we should finish filming our movie one day earlier if possible, because the crew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is waiting to use this studio. "When talking about this, Jiang Feng pointed to Yan Danchen who was standing outside the shooting site and said:
"Director Xu, didn't you see it?
Yan Danchen, who plays Yu Jiaolong, has already arrived in Beijing in advance."

"Oh, I thought Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon had already been filmed."

“Not yet. President Han told me on the phone that there are about twenty or so shots in this movie that need to be shot on location.

Well, and by then, film and television superstars Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, and internationally renowned director Li An will all come to Beijing, and he hopes that I can come and study with my classmates."

After talking about this, Jiang Feng drank two sips of water and stood up directly from the floor.

"Director Xu, time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's start shooting now."

At this time, Jiang Feng turned his head and looked at the periphery of the shooting scene.

"Classmates of the 1996 Acting Department, let's make an agreement in advance. The following scenes will be full of bloody scenes. If anyone screams or makes inappropriate noises, then he or she will pay for our dinner tonight. It doesn't need to be too much, 100 yuan will be enough."

"it is good!"

"no problem."

"Don't worry, Director,"

.........

In order to get out of Studio 4, and of course, to finish the filming as soon as possible, Jiang Feng really tried his best.

On December 12, the crew of "Saw" entered the shooting at 4 o'clock in the morning and continued shooting until 7 o'clock in the evening, and the camera never stopped.

If photographer Gu Changwei is tired, Liu Jie, who works as an assistant photographer in the crew, will take over.

At the beginning, the girls in the 96 undergraduate class of the Performance Department were the first to give up. At 6 o'clock in the evening, they returned to school one after another. When they returned, everyone was a little unhappy.

It was agreed that the crew would have a wrap-up banquet tonight. Given the current situation, it seemed impossible to finish the filming of the movie, let alone have dinner together.

The boys in the class waited a little longer, they waited until 9 o'clock in the evening, because this was the time when the hotel chefs went off work.

In the capital's hotels of all sizes, if there is no special need, the chefs in each store will go off work at this time. Even if there are still guests in the store, they will only symbolically leave a few chefs on duty, because a real chef will not stay to serve them.

When acting in the crew, Tony Leung Ka Fai basically acted alone.

The more people around him watching the crew filming, the more excited he becomes, and the better his performance will be.

Now, when Liang Jiahui saw that all the young men and women had left, he suddenly lost interest. He raised his hand and was about to say to Jiang Feng, "Why don't we shoot again tomorrow?"

The movie is almost over anyway.

But before he could finish his words, Leung Ka Fai saw Chen Kun holding up the clapperboard in his hand.

"Action!"

Liang Jiahui sat on the ground.

He took off his blue shirt, tied one sleeve tightly around his left leg, bit the other sleeve tightly with his teeth, picked up the handsaw from the ground, and placed it at the ankle of his left leg, with a determined look in his eyes.

“Ah, no…”

Jiang Feng seemed to guess what he wanted to do.
