Chapter 90: Filming Accidents
Hong Chen was on the crew's side, watching the set.
The drama affairs of Hong Kong films are very professional, and they are already familiar with this type of film, where the police cars are parked, where the onlookers are, and where the police are, there are special arrangements.
This is a long shot, the script has already been sent, and the actors are familiar with the script.
Shooting began, and for a moment, the sirens sounded.
The gangsters came out with hostages, constantly saying threatening words, and five or six policemen stood not far from him with guns, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Then, Brother Yuanlong appeared on the stage, pretending to negotiate and suddenly snatched the hostages rescued by the robbers, and was shot in the process of fighting with the robbers.
At the same time, the robber dog jumped over the wall and pulled the ring of a grenade, and finally Brother Yuanlong took the grenade, climbed over the guardrail handsomely, and threw the grenade into the sewer with the lid open, which narrowly resolved the crisis.
This one is finished.
The whole filming process went smoothly, everyone knew what to do, and everyone's expressions and acting skills were in place.
The hideousness of the gangsters, the caution of the police, and the fearless spirit of Brother Yuanlong are all reflected.
"Click!"
The director shouted to stop, and the crowd began to applaud.
Hong Chen also clapped his hands in admiration.
He made a simple comparison in his heart, although it is not good to say this, as far as middle-level actors are concerned, Hong Kong film actors are more dedicated than mainland actors.
But the bottom layer is different, and it's not of an order of magnitude at all.
He worked as a Hengpiao in Hengdian, and Hengpiao is definitely the hardest person in the circle, getting up earlier than chickens, sleeping later than pigs, being scolded every day, and greeting the role with a smile.
The bottom is the real dedication.
As for the upper-level actors, they have their own characteristics and do not compare.
This scene was filmed for more than an hour, which is already very efficient.
"Very good. Chen Mushen was very satisfied, "Everyone rests first, shoots indoor scenes in the afternoon, and there is a key scene in the evening, all get ready." ”
"Good director. ”
"The director is relieved. ”
The actors are all laughing and agreeing.
The scene at night is very important, it is the plot of the first head-on conflict between the villain group led by Hong Chen and the police, and it is also the first scene of Hong Chen's play in this play.
But the next time will be a little boring, after all, this time the crew Hong Chen doesn't know many people, and he is not the kind of person who takes the initiative to join in the fun.
If it were other actors, when they saw Brother Yuanlong, they would probably have gone up and stammered a long time ago, which is a common thing in the crew.
Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi did a good job, they used the company's funds to rent a business car for a few people to rest, and Hong Chen could also study the script with peace of mind.
This time, the villain played by Hong Chen is more complicated, he is a rich second generation, and his father is a high-ranking official in the police station, but he has abused him since he was a child and looks down on him.
So, he had an incomparable dislike for the police in his heart, and found four rich second generations who were also seeking excitement and began to commit crimes.
This character has to play that feeling of paranoia and madness.
Previously, Hong Chen had also used the skill of "script understanding" to watch movies in parallel worlds.
The actor who plays Guan Zu is very handsome, especially the effect that this character shows in the end, giving people a sense of evil spirit.
At the same time, there are still some differences between the performance techniques of Hong Kong films and those in the mainland.
Because to highlight the somewhat perverted spirit, Hong Chen's expression must be slightly exaggerated when performing.
In the evening, night falls.
The scene filmed tonight is very exciting, it is a bank robbery.
In the first scene, the five villains sit on a high-rise building, put a bank clerk in a sack and throw it down, then fasten the rope to the upper floor, and jump down the five people.
The scene of this scene is indeed thrilling.
However, this scene uses special effects.
There are relatively few special effects in Hong Kong films, but they are not unnecessary.
For example, in the later stage, Yuanlong and Xie Feng had a scene falling on the roof, which was really filmed with a crane and Weiya hanging up.
As for this scene, doing a free fall movement from a dozens of floors, to tell the truth, even if the actors dare, the director may not dare to joke with human life.
During the shooting, first the villain five-member group showed a contemptuous and somewhat excited gaze, and then, with a rope hanging behind their backs, a blower blowing their hair and clothes underneath, and when the background changed, it was a jump.
The five members of the villain group forced the bank clerk to open the safe, and in the face of the room full of banknotes, the remaining four rushed in with cheers, very excited.
Only Hong Chen, who didn't seem to be interested in money, pointed a gun at the bank clerk and said, "Is there a phone?"
The bank clerk took out his mobile phone from his arms and said in horror: "Yes, yes." ”
Hong Chen touched his phone with the muzzle of his gun, "Call the police." ”
Hong Chen's words made the bank staff stunned, and the robber asked him to call the police?
"Call the police!" Hong Chen emphasized again, a little impatient.
Although Hong Chen was wearing a mask, his terrifying aura was obvious, and the bank clerk nodded hurriedly, with a little fear on his face.
The director watched from behind, and he was pleased with everyone's performance. And this bank clerk performed very well as a special trick.
In fact, at this moment, the bank clerk is really scared.
Especially when Hong Chen pointed a gun at him and stared at him, he felt as if he had really been kidnapped by a robber who killed people without blinking.
"This mainland actor is a bit powerful. After this scene ended, the actor of the bank clerk acted out a spit and let out a sigh of relief.
As the most powerful villain of this movie, he is full of natural aura, especially to give people the feeling that good people are not his opponents at all.
Fortunately, Hong Chen did it.
After a few scenes, some of the surrounding HK actors have slightly changed their attitude towards Hong Chen.
At least this mainland actor has real material. They thought to themselves.
You must know that mainland actors have big shelves and like to pay attention to pomp, and they must be surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards when they go out, which is nothing new in HK.
This is especially true for young traffic.
Before, some people doubted whether Hong Chen also brought money into the group and came here to gild.
In hindsight, their suspicions were wrong.
After that, it's a more crucial play.
It was the villain group who robbed the bank and did not run, but ran to the road to set up a camp and killed all the policemen who came to support.
This scene is actually filmed in two scenes, one scene is the scene where the villain group shoots and laughs wildly.
Another scene is a scene of police officers in a mess, police cars colliding, and injuries. When the time comes, a splicing will do.
This kind of filming technique is very normal, and the villain group can't really hold a gun, then it's not acting.
However, this scene, judging from the visual effects alone, is very handsome.
On an empty street, Hong Chen stood in the middle of the road holding the bank clerk hostage as a shield, poking out only one head and holding a gun on the bank clerk's shoulder. The other four younger brothers were on both sides of the road, lying on the roof of the car, also driving guns.
The five of them all had excited smiles on their faces, and they looked extremely arrogant.
There was nothing wrong with one of them, but something was wrong with the other.
When a stuntman was performing a crash, he didn't grasp the speed well, hit it a little hard, and the car rolled over several times.
"Rescue team, rescue team, hurry up. The director was in a hurry, and the other actors were also in a hurry, and hurried over to the rescue.
But fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the stuntman, but he has some injuries, especially a broken leg, and I am afraid that he will have to lie in the hospital for a while.
Hong Kong films are like this, in pursuit of effect, sometimes it is easy to get hurt, and injuries are commonplace.
In the previous era, basically actors were performing with their lives, and they were embarrassed to say that they were action actors without a few steel nails on their bodies.
Seeing such a scene, Hong Chen was also very emotional.
The more you pursue reality, the easier it is to be in danger, so there are so many crews who use special effects for everything.
There is a costume drama, even a bonfire on the ground, because I am afraid that the actors will be too hot, only firewood is placed, and then a fire is made with special effects.
It feels like the director is fooling the audience for fools.
