Entertainment 1998

Chapter 677 Chapter 676, Worse than Beasts

In the bedroom of the adobe house, Zhang Guorong and his father-in-law Zhao Laonian sat cross-legged at the two ends of the big kang, smoking silently.

Zhao Laonian lowered his head and said slowly: "Son-in-law, I am sorry for you!"

On the kang, in a photo frame with a broken mirror, was a photo of Zhang Guorong, his wife Guan Xiulin, and his father-in-law Zhao Laonian. Guan Xiulin was very beautiful.

Zhang Guorong did not respond to his father-in-law Zhao Laonian, but just sat on the other side of the earthen kang and smoked silently.

"OK, passed, next shot."

The crew members acted quickly. As soon as Jiang Feng gave the order, everyone took action quickly and moved the shooting location from the west room to the east room.

Well, let's put it this way.

According to the arrangement of the crew, the home of the male protagonist Jin Jiunan and the home of Jin Jiunan's father-in-law are basically in the courtyard behind Jin Dachuan's Dog Shop. The only difference is the houses and the furnishings in the houses.

Since there was no need for large-scale transfers, the crew was able to shoot very quickly. Before 10 a.m., the crew quickly moved from the compound to the live dog market.

Different from the laughter, anger and scolding in previous Hong Kong films, Tony Leung Ka Fai, who plays the role of Mian Zhenghe, is serious for once. Even before going on stage, he still holds the script in his hand.

Well, what's more, in the script, whenever he encountered something unsure, he would follow Jiang Feng around.

"Director, do you think the character I play, Mian Zhenghe, should be fierce or intimidating without getting angry?"

"Director, last night, I watched the Kangxi Dynasty starring Chen Daoming in my room. The part where he scolded his ministers was really exciting. What do you think of me imitating him?"

"Director, you also said that the character of Mian Zhenghe is a bloodthirsty person. In the play, he even single-handedly challenges the entire Hey Society team. If I play the character of Mian Zhenghe in a way that makes him look powerful without being angry, will I not be able to achieve this effect?"

At the beginning, facing Liang Jiahui's questions, Jiang Feng would patiently respond a few words, "Brother Jiahui, regarding your role, I will not make any settings. You just act according to your understanding. After you act it out once, we will see the effect first."

Later on, Jiang Feng, who was leading the young filming team to set up the shooting scene, ignored Liang Jiahui.

Because no matter what advice Jiang Feng gave him, this guy would always raise counter-questions at the first opportunity.

"Director, you'd better let me sit on a dog cage instead of standing in a live dog market. Put a barking vicious dog in the cage...Wouldn't that make me more sturdy?"

"Director, I have four or five young men following me. This is indeed a strong formation, but I think you might as well give me a beautiful woman. She will do nothing but hug my arm and rest her head on my leather jacket.

Well, why is that?

Because this would create a strong contrast: Mian Zhenghe has a vicious dog under his butt and a beautiful woman beside him, but he keeps staring at Zhang Guorong coldly. "

Faced with Liang Jiahui's harassment, Jiang Feng initially wanted to throw him back to the courtyard behind Jin Dachuan's Dog Shop, and then close the door and let the dogs out.

In this way, I believe I will feel at peace immediately.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Feng still resisted the impulse.

After all, the filming of "The Yellow Sea" is different from the first collaboration between the two parties, "Saw". The doctor in "Saw" is relatively simple.

From the beginning to the end, there is only one line.

But the character of Mian Zhenghe is too complicated. He makes killing his profession, and he is not only brutal and has a very high psychological quality, but he is also cold-blooded and ruthless.

It was like a classic shot in the original film: Cui Shengnan curled up in a corner of the room, blood gushing from her head. Mian Zhenghe was only wearing underwear, holding an axe in his left hand, and his body and face were splattered with blood. On the ground, Cui Shengnan's men were lying or crawling in all directions. If someone wanted to struggle to get up, Mian Zhenghe would step forward, press down with his right hand, raise his left hand, and bring it down heavily, and the person would no longer move...

In view of this, Jiang Feng believed deep down that the role of Mian Zhenghe was not created by the "director" but was realized by the actor himself. Therefore, at the live dog market, no matter how much Tony Leung Ka Fai naggled, Jiang Feng ignored him.

Perhaps because Jiang Feng ignored Liang Jiahui, the crew set up the shooting scene in the live dog market very quickly. They entered the scene at 10:10, and the shooting was completed at 11:20 noon.

"Clap clap clap..."

Jiang Feng clapped his hands and said nothing. He just pointed towards the middle of the shooting scene. Liang Jiahui, who was wearing a green military coat, walked over and sat down on a dog cage.

There was a dog in the cage, and it immediately started barking non-stop.

Jiang Feng also had a solution. He gave a look to Li Long, who was holding a briefcase in his hand, and Li Long immediately put Jin Dachuan's machete next to the dog cage.

Strangely enough, although there was no blood on the machete that had killed thousands of dogs, it immediately intimidated the vicious dog. It was barking happily just now, but was instantly frightened and lay obediently in the cage.

Liang Jiahui sat down.

The vicious dog became obedient.

Kong Wei, the former monitor of the 1996 undergraduate class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, walked over with a smile on her face and put her arms around Liang Jiahui's waist.

"Director, do you think it's okay for me and Brother Jiahui to do this?"

"can!"

Jiang Feng smiled and raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Action!"

Yanji City, dog market.

Dogs were locked in cages everywhere, and there were barking sounds and people everywhere. Two mixed-breed huskies of different fur colors were being led to fight and bite each other. Dogs were bought and sold everywhere, and there were tricycles transporting dogs everywhere.

Liang Jiahui was wearing a military coat and sitting on a dog cage. He spat on the ground, then took a handful of melon seeds from Kong Wei's hand and cracked them in his mouth.

"OK, very good, Liu Mu, Huang Bo, Brother Zong, the three of you will enter now."

In the middle of this long shot, Jiang Feng did not call for a stop. Instead, he picked up the walkie-talkie and told Zhang Guorong, Liu Mu and others to enter the shooting scene from the side.

After hearing the command, these guys did not hesitate and got into the role in an instant.

The debt collector Liu Mu strode over, followed by Zhang Guorong who was shrinking his head.

"Hey, Lao Mian!"

Hearing someone calling him, Liang Jiahui straightened up and looked, and immediately saw Zhang Guorong's stubborn look and the ferocious Liu Mu.

Seeing Liu Mu approaching, Liang Jiahui spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth.

"Hello, Lao Mian!"

When he came in front of Liang Jiahui, Liu Mu pointed at Zhang Guorong behind him and introduced him to him.

"Lao Mian, this person..."

However, as soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by Leung Ka Fai.

"Got it, go do your thing!"

"Uh…"

Liu Mu was chased away before he could get the money. He didn't know what to do. But at this moment, Kong Wei, who was smiling brightly, slapped him in the face.

"I told you to go back and wait, but you didn't hear me or what?"

"Crack!"

At this point in the filming, Jiang Feng suddenly called for a stop.

In fact, according to Jiang Feng's original idea, this long shot was shot from beginning to end, but there was no way, Kong Wei improvised and slapped Liu Mu.

However, Liu Mu's acting experience was obviously insufficient, and he just stood there stupidly on the set.

Wow..., it was right at the beginning.

Because as a debt collector, Liu Mu never thought that Mian Zhenghe's woman would dare to hit him.

But if you get dazed again later, that’s not right.

After all, debt collectors have a certain status in society. I endured the beatings of gangsters, but I didn't expect a woman to dare to beat me. Jiang Feng called a stop, and before he started to talk about the play, Liu Mu, who had come to his senses, raised his right arm and shook it in the air.

"Director, I'm sorry, it took me too long to react. Let's continue filming."

"okay!"

Jiang Feng, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, hesitated for a moment and chose to trust his classmate.

"Action!"

"Snapped!"

After being slapped by the woman, Liu Mu's face was full of anger. He clenched his fist and was about to attack, but after looking at Liang Jiahui's gloomy face, he thought for a moment and slapped Zhang Guorong in the face.

In fact, when Liu Mu raised his hand to slap, Liang Jiahui stood up and wanted to stop him, but he was too fast and failed to stop him.

When the slap landed on Zhang Guorong's face, Liu Mu turned and left. Looking at his back, Liang Jiahui said to himself:
"This bunch of scum!"

Zhang Guorong looked at him, and Liang Jiahui looked at him and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Zhang Guorong said nothing.

Liang Jiahui stretched out his hand: "My last name is Mian, hello!"

"OK, passed."

After shooting this shot, Jiang Feng, who was very satisfied, shouted "Stop". The next scene was about to change. Even if he wanted to lengthen this shot, there was no content.

Just as Jiang Feng shouted "passed", Liu Mu, who had just left the filming site not long ago, ran back, ran in front of Zhang Guorong, and knelt on the ground.

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

Uh…

Looking at this sudden scene, Zhang Guorong was stunned, then he squatted down and lifted Liu Mu up from the ground with force.

"Brother, don't be like this. As actors, we get slapped or kicked during the performance. These are all very normal."

"Yes, brother!

But I didn’t tell you beforehand.”

"Haha..., Kong Wei didn't tell you before slapping you?" Zhang Guorong comforted him with a smile.

However, just as he finished speaking, Kong Wei came over and said:

"Well, brother, Liu Mu deserves to be beaten, but it's wrong for him to beat you, so I should kneel down for you."

Should fight...

What do you mean?
Jiang Feng, who was discussing with photographer Liu Jie and lighting technician Shi Guanghui how to shoot the next scene, was a little confused when he heard Kong Wei's voice.

He wanted to ask, but at this time, Shi Guanghui, Liu Jie, and the makeup artist Mark leaned over and said with a mean look on their faces: "Brother Feng, let me tell you a secret. Last night, Liu Mu did something worse than an animal."

Worse than beasts...

Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Feng's eyes widened instantly. Could it be that the crew arranged for the two of them to live in a standard room, and it had an effect that night?

“Brother Feng, you want to do the splits.

It is true that Liu Mu and Kong Wei slept in the same room last night, but they slept in separate beds from beginning to end."

Damn..., this guy Liu Mu is worse than a beast!

As soon as Mark finished speaking, Jiang Feng gave such an evaluation in his heart.

...............

In order not to delay the business at the dog meat market, the crew of "Yellow Sea" continued filming inside the market until 2 pm.

Didn’t have lunch!

The filming started at 7 o'clock in the morning and lasted until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone understood this because the crew had a contract with the market. The daily turnover of the dog market is about 48. Calculated based on 10 hours, a delay of one hour would be 48000.

Therefore, everyone can only work hard.

Fortunately, at 2:10 pm, Jiang Feng's filming team withdrew from the dog meat market on time.

When they evacuated, there was already a huge crowd of people outside the dog meat market.

Producer Li Xing estimated that there are probably more than 1 of these people, because the eight large pots set up by the crew outside the dog meat market have served out 14000 bowls of dog meat soup since the start of filming in the morning, with 40 live dogs in the pots alone.

Due to the long time span, there must have been people among these people who drank dog meat soup repeatedly, so the scale should be around 1 people.

There were 1 people there, and they lined up from the dog meat market all the way to the town government.

When the convoy of the "Yellow Sea" crew appeared, these people applauded and cheered.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Jiang Feng! Jiang Feng!"

"Zhao Laonian, I love you!"

"Zhang Guorong, look here, look here, I am your loyal fan."

"Liang Jiahui, did you see that? I'm squatting on a tree branch and giving you a heart with my hands."

Lots of people.

The streets were crowded with people.

So, after coming out of the dog meat market, Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz S600, lowered the window and kept waving to everyone.

He waved for a long time, almost 10 minutes before stopping.

Zhao Laonian, who was also waving to the local people through the window, was obviously a little reluctant to leave. He waited until there was no one on the roadside before he rolled up the window, leaned back on the back seat, turned his head and looked at Jiang Feng beside him before saying:
"Jiang Feng, you did a good job today. You taught me a trick. I even thought about it before coming here. If the 50 security guards I found in the local society are not enough, I will say hello to the leaders of the city here.

Let them send a squadron over to help maintain order for our crew.

But I didn't expect you to use local ingredients and pay for everyone to drink dog meat soup here."

"Haha, huh..."

Jiang Feng was also a little proud.

In my previous life, my favorite writer was an entertainment author named Want to Drink Cold Water but Be Afraid of Saiya. I read both of his entertainment novels from beginning to end, and some of the weird things in them were simply outrageous.

Among them, one of them is to invite onlookers near the filming location to have a meal.

Because we are all human beings, if you put yourself in their shoes, if you invite them to dinner, they will immediately give you favors. Well, you can even say that anyone who has eaten your food will become a spontaneous promoter of your movie.

Even if the movie is not very good, they will still try their best to promote it.

But just when Jiang Feng wanted to chat with Zhao Laonian about "wanting to drink cold water but afraid of getting something stuck in your teeth" and other fancy things in his novel, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a text message from Wang Fei.

[A Feng, Dao Lang's album "The First Snow of 2002" has sold over 1 million copies after more than a month of sales.

But he also offended his peers because of this. Now, Lao Na, Yang Kun, Wang Feng, Sun Nan, Chen Ming and others are criticizing him on the Internet. 】
