Chapter 70: The Story of Chasing Girls
At the filming scene of chasing girls, Xu Ziming still truthfully recited the lines in advance in accordance with the agreement with Huang Baiming.
In the past few days, the plot of Luo Baidu, who was a student in the United States and was driven back to Hong Kong by Luo's mother because of fooling around with a ghost sister, has been filmed.
Xu Ziming's acting skills are not bad, and they are not as exaggerated as those played by Shi Tian in the original time and space, but this kind of unruly character is a big challenge for Xu Ziming. However, Xu Ziming deliberately gave up the original predetermined curly image directly, with his own temperament, even if he doesn't wear makeup, it is very similar.
What he didn't expect was that in the plot filmed by the crew at Hong Kong International Airport today, Mecca and Hong Jinbao could still be called the leading actors, starring ghosts.
Hong Jinbao starred in his true colors, holding a sign that said Director Mecca to pick up the airport at the airport, and Mecca played a director who didn't even get a copy of the appearance scene, Hong Jinbao shouted: "Hey, old Mai ......" Mecca was suddenly stunned by Hong Jinbao's shouting while carrying the leather bag, and pointed with his head slightly excited: "Sanmao!"
Mecca walked quickly towards Hong Jinbao, and then the two hugged each other, and Mecca asked, "Why do you have to pick up the plane yourself." ”
Hong Jinbao said indifferently: "We are best friends." ”
Mecca was in a good mood and laughed, and Hong Jinbao asked again: Just finished filming?"
"Chasing girls," Mecca replied easily.
"Click", at the signal of the assistant director, the scene reporter shouted loudly, and the photographer also stopped to record.
The plot of Mecca was watched by the assistant director, and there was no Mecca in the next plot, so he could naturally do his job as a director with peace of mind.
Mecca took the water handed over by the worker's eyes, moistened her throat, and walked towards Xu Ziming: "Mr. Xu, the next scene is between you and Gao Laoquan played by Wang Jin, both with beautiful girls." The bald man in Mecca smiled wickedly.
Xu Ziming was a little surprised, "Why is Wang Jin playing the role of Gao and this role, isn't it Zeng Zhiwei that you agreed before?"
Mecca saw that Xu Ziming was a little puzzled and explained, "That's the case, Zeng Zhiwei's role in Xu Ke's movie still has a lot of scenes, you also know Xu Ke's temper, the pursuit of quality in filming, and the refusal to let go of people, so he temporarily became Wang Jin, and Mr. Xu and Wang Jin's partner should be Mr. Xu, you will be satisfied." ”
Speaking of partnering, he does think it's a good way to partner with Wang Jin.
Wang Jin plays the role of "Gao Laoquan", why did he only tell himself about this decision now, why didn't Huang Baiming tell him? Xu Ziming was a little dizzy.
The scene reporter walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, the character you played is about to start filming." ”
The next shot is to shoot Xu Ziming meeting his cousin Gao Lao played by Wang Jin at the airport and picking up the airport, Gao Lao Quan laughed at his cousin for not being able to catch up with the girl abroad, of course Luo Baidu was not convinced, in order to convince his cousin of his pickling skills, and then on the way back to his cousin's home, Luo Baidu played by Xu Ziming successfully accosted strange girls one after another, winning Gao Lao Quan's admiration.
In many scenes, Xu Ziming's performance is not particularly natural, although he did not play it in one go, but Wang Jin was very impressed, "Ah Ming, you act very similarly, but this is diametrically opposed to you in reality." After filming for a few days, Wang Jin was a little tired like a pug, but he was fortunate to be able to feast his eyes, and his heart was worth it.
"Oh, you think so too. Xu Ziming also thinks so, Luo Baidu, the prodigal son in love, and Xu Ziming in reality are not one person at all, but two people who are strangers.
Huang Baiming let himself star in this play, but he didn't want to challenge himself, Xu Ziming thought evilly in his heart.
"Pretty girl, it's a pretty girl. Wang Jin was too deep into the play, and excitedly pointed to the beautiful woman who was gradually walking in with himself and Xu Ziming in a high-minded tone.
Xu Ziming knocked Wang Jin's brain angrily, and said calmly: "Look at your unproductive appearance." ”
Then walk to the beautiful woman in front of you together.
Wang Jin glanced at Xu Ziming dissatisfied, and after seeing the person who came, he smiled honestly: "Miss Lin Xiaoxia, hello." ”
The beauty is Zhang Tianai, who played the role of Lin Xiaoxia in "Chasing Girls", regardless of the difference between this Zhang Tianai and the Zhang Tianai of later generations, one is a well-known figure in the Hong Kong fashion industry, and the other is a mainland film and television star in the future.
Zhang Tianai smiled and joked: "The partnership between Mr. Wang and Mr. Xu's cousin and cousin is really good. Immediately, she glanced sideways at Xu Ziming again, "Mr. Xu's image has changed a little too much, but he plays it very well." ”
"Well, it's a very different character from my own, but it's just a character, don't take it seriously. Xu Ziming said
Zhang Tianai was just idle, and her understanding of Xu Ziming was shallow, but her next scene was filmed with Xu Ziming, so she was exploring the news in advance, afraid that Xu Ziming would take advantage of her, but it seemed that she had misunderstood herself.
.............
.............
In order to better play the role of the high-ranking guy and this role, after filming a scene between him and Zhang Aijia, Wang Jin worked hard, and after the crew transferred the filming location to the designated location, Mecca, as the director, began to mobilize.
This scene is a scene where Gao Laoquan is filmed, and he thinks that the female clerk of the literary bookstore likes him, so he asks his cousin Luo Baidu to support himself, and the scene can be said to be the laughing point of the whole play.
When Xu Ziming first read the script, he felt that this part of the plot was really written enough, the female clerk was played by Huang Zaoshi, her name is Shrimp Girl, she looks honest and cute, and the "character" of Gao Laoquan played by Wang Jin is vividly swayed by Wang Jin, and the cooperation between the two is really a perfect match.
Huang Zaoshi debuted very early, her first film at the age of seventeen was "The Peerless Double Pride" in 79, together with Wei Xue, Huang Yuanshen, and Huang Xinxiu.
In 1980, she starred in the Shaw Brothers movie version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
In the mid-90s, she stopped filming and was an artist who faded out of the entertainment industry earlier.
After more than ten days, he was busy filming mainly the scenes of Xu Ziming and Liu Lanxi played by Yahua, when Xu Ziming with the help of the kamikaze stunt team, Luo Baidu played by Luo Baidu chased all the way, and finally found Yahua wearing a wedding dress at this time in the palace of marriage, the moment he held Kia Hua's hand, the whole drama was completed.
"Okay, it's finished, "Chasing Girls" is officially finished!" Mecca picked up the microphone and shouted excitedly, and the photographers, production assistants, and scene reporters all understood and began to call it a day.
"Mr. Xu, the filming is over. Liu Lanxi, with the help of the crew, had already changed the heavy wedding dress, walked up to Xu Ziming, and kindly reminded him.
Xu Ziming seemed to be still in the scene just now, but he quickly came to his senses, "Miss Liu, after filming this "Chasing Girls", I will go back to Taiwan." ”
In the past few days of filming in the crew, Xu Ziming has some understanding of Liu Lanxi, the actor of Yahua, and knows that she was recommended by Qiong Yao to come to Hong Kong for development, but at present, she is still interested in Taiwan's literary film market.
When it comes to Liu Lanxi, many people may not understand, but everyone should know very well the female ghost of the eccentric elf in "Evil and Evil". Xu Ziming doesn't like horror movies very much, and he watches relatively little, in Xu Ziming's current written scripts, most of them are the original wonderful scripts of Xinyicheng after 82 years, like the "Uncle Zombie" series, Xu Ziming has only seen a little, and he doesn't dare to read it deeply.
But among the few films, I have watched Liu Lanxi's "Evil Again" partially.
Liu Lanxi nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Xu, my development in Hong Kong is also unremarkable, and I have also experienced ups and downs in Taiwan, but during these years in Hong Kong, although I have gained a lot, I can't see a way out." I also have a contract with Ms. Qiong Yao's company, and if Hong Kong is not satisfactory, it is inevitable to go back. ”
Liu Lanxi's face was full of disappointment, starring in the movie "Chasing Girls", which made her feel the joy of cooperating with Xu Ziming, but she didn't think that this film could make any waves in Hong Kong.
When it comes to Taiwanese actresses, there are only a handful of actresses who impress themselves, such as Lin Qingxia, Hu Huizhong, Lin Fengjiao, this is Liu Lanxi in front of him, and a few Xu Ziming can't remember their names.
This kind of sadness made Xu Ziming helplessly reminded him of the experience of running around when he was looking for a job, and the experience of traveling south gave him a big blow, but it also allowed him to meet the noble people in his life.
In Hong Kong, there are no scenic spots, and those interesting views can make a great change in people's mood.
But Xu Ziming deeply remembers that there is such a writer, he wrote in the book "Hong Kong, Hong Kong": What is more wonderful is the night, the lights of Hong Kong at night. Every day when dusk comes, the lights come together with the twilight.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, it looks like a scattered star, and it looks like a floating five-colored cloud - it is reflected by a neon light tube, and on this side of Hong Kong Island, the stars and clouds are from west to east, which are Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and North Point...... A ribbon spreads over. On the Kowloon side, stars and clouds from south to north are Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Sham Shui Po...... It's another ribbon spreading.
During the day, the top of the mountain is already a quiet world, and at night, it is even more quiet at night, in the quiet high place, look down at the floating colorful galaxy, condensed, and seem to flow from time to time.
The mountain described by Luo Fu is called Taiping Mountain, and Xu Ziming firmly believes that in this mountain, Liu Lanxi's mood may have changed.
"I'll take you somewhere, maybe somewhere you go, it's not too late for you to make a decision on whether to develop in Hong Kong or go back to Taiwan. Xu Ziming still decided to take Liu Lanxi to see the unusual existence of Hong Kong.
"Where are you going?" The beauty's eyes moved slightly, the dress at this time was really simple but beautiful, natural but like carving, Xu Ziming felt that Liu Lanxi was really beautiful, so beautiful that it was a mess, no wonder Luo Baidu in the play would choose Yahua.
Xu Ziming didn't make a sound, and pulled Liu Lanxi into the car. Liu Lanxi is a little wooden, probably in many plots in the play, there are also many such actions, and all of a sudden Xu Ziming is used to pulling like this.
After the two of them got into the car, Xu Ziming said to Pan Weiguo, who was driving: "Taiping Mountain." ”
There is a saying called "Victoria Peak Wangluo", which is a saying that Hong Kong people like to say, naturally in Cantonese. "Luo" means "to come down", "to fall" means to go down, and "to fall" is to come.
Victoria Peak is a mountain on Hong Kong Island overlooking the lively downtown Central.
Climbing this mountain, Xu Ziming couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the tycoons with hundreds of millions of words talked about in Taiping Mountain, the kind of strength that can affect the development of Xiangjiang with a shock.
"After coming to Hong Kong for so long, it is the first time I have discovered that Hong Kong's night scenery is so beautiful. Liu Lanxi climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, and she carefully looked at it, and the night beauty of the Xiangjiang River was in full view.
