In Hong Kong movies in recent years, the starring roles are either Gu Tianyu, Liu Qingyun, Andy Lau, or Zhang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu, and the supporting roles are also those ones: Liao Qizhi, Fang Zhongxin, Jiang Haowen...

It seems that the other actors are dead!

These old guys, there are still fixed bad movies every year that can make some money, such as Chen Baixiang, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2019", "Xinhedong Lion's Roar", Wu Qihua now has about seven or eight films!

It's really not good, you can also act in the Internet and mix some pensions to support yourself...

Liang Liewei, later renamed Liang Jinghui, Lu Xiaoran didn't know him very well, only knew that he was also a supporting role in TVB, it should be a marketing number push, Lu Xiaoran noticed him...

In fact, marketing accounts post this kind of content, whether it is hype or not, it is more nutritious than all kinds of gossip and scandals!

But this guy's Mandarin is really bad...

And there are no special advantages, at most you can only play a supporting role.

In other words, after Chen Baixiang and Wu Qihua joined the group, they were a little cautious at first...

After all, it's been a long time since I've played this kind of drama, and I'm afraid of messing up...

The investment in "Wushuang" is, in their opinion, sky-high...

HK$280 million!

At that time, the investment of 200 million Hong Kong dollars in "Shinjuku Incident" had set a record!

And people like Liang Liewei, Ouyang Zhenhua, Luo Dahua, Li Yaoxiang, including Wu Qihua, have not been exposed to this kind of 'mainstream production' for a long time...

The most important thing is that Lu Xiaoran has been mythologized in Hong Kong media reports: his worth, box office and even his relationship with the government...

The Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles pay special attention to the fan position and coffee position, what A coffee, B coffee, you can often see several variety actors in variety shows showing off who they have worked with, as if they have cooperated with him, and they are also awesome...

It's hard for you to understand what these people think, in Lu Xiaoran's opinion, a movie can become a classic, the role of the protagonist is important, but the supporting role is not important?

After joining the group, they found that... Lu Xiaoran is not the same as she imagined.

It's a normal director.

He is very polite to the actors and staff, and he likes to talk to people...

Recently, I have a habit again, I like to pull Chen Baixiang to talk to him about the Hong Kong film industry back then...

Hong Kong actors, of course, have awesome acting skills, and what is even more rare is that they are very professional, they will not be late or leave early, let alone play big names and do not obey the director's intentions...

It's a pity that the Hong Kong film industry has transformed from the Oriental Hollywood to a Chinese-language film center.

After all, personal struggle is important, but in the end, it is the course of history that plays a decisive role...

Think about the Hong Kong film queen the year before last, it was awarded to Miriam Yeung... Award-winning work "Chunjiao and Zhiming"...

Miriam Yang's acting skills are of course okay, but she won the actress with "Chunjiao and Zhiming", which is really unconvincing!

Of course, take a look at a few nominations: Sammi Cheng "Love at High Altitude", Jiang Ruolin "Hold Love High"...

No wonder you want to say that Hong Kong films are dead!

……

Afternoon shooting continues...

In the past few days, Liang Jiahui has been filming the scene, because he is leaving the crew - to promote "Cold War 2"...

First class on the plane.

Zhou Yanfa looked at Liang Jiahui with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't come!"

"I'm sorry, I just went to see off Ruan Wen, she is going to the United States to develop..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you chase her back when you're done. ”

Fa Ge looked spoiled...

It's really a spoiling expression!

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "No need, I'm here to help you work, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Zhou Yunfa shook his head: "It's because you help me work that I have to worry about it." You may not know that all men who can achieve great things are for women. ”

"My father said that a man who gives up love doesn't do a good job. ”

Liang Jiahui was silent for a while and looked at the other party: "Then who are you for?"

Fa Ge smiled slightly, "I'm one of the very few... A man who doesn't live for a woman. ”

"Click, beautiful!"

Liang Jiahui stood up from his chair: "Director, I'll go first?"

“… Well, "Cold War 2" is a big hit!"

"Thank you..."

Liang Jiahui really wanted to say, 'Whether "Cold War 2" can be a big hit, it depends on whether you Boss Lu gives face...' Thinking about it, Orange seems to be an animated movie released on July 8th...

However, "Comet" has collected more than 40 million in a single day for four consecutive working days, and according to this trend, the next weekend will definitely set a new single-day box office high!

However, this is something that the producer and the promoter should worry about, and it has little to do with Liang Jiahui.

……

Liang Jiahui is gone, how to shoot the scene?

It's easy, stand-ins...

It's not a bunti, it's a stuntman.

What do you want them to do?

Of course, it is to show Li Wen's awesomeness!

Li asked why he was valued by the painter and invited to join the counterfeit banknote production team?

Li Wen is a top counterfeiter: making fake paintings, like real paintings, even the top experts can't tell the real thing;

Simulated new version of the US dollar banknote, 100% perfect copy;

Watermarking is made by pressing the fibers in the paper, which is difficult to do without paper. The watermark of the banknote is a pattern pressed out with a wire roller when the pulp has not yet solidified when the paper is made. When the pulp is solidified, the pattern remains in the middle of the paper and becomes a watermark.

Li Wen first made a watermark, then clamped it with two pieces of paper, and pressed three into one, so that not only can the effect of the banknote watermark be made, but even the anti-counterfeiting line can be added.

These things need to be truly displayed in the movie, how to show them, so that Liang Jiahui can perfectly copy the new version of the US dollar banknote?

According to the script, the new version of the US dollar bill launched by the US government has changed to the Diplessis version of Franklin's portrait, and the magnification is 50%. There are many lines and details, and even if you use the printer with the highest resolution, there will be moiré patterns when printed.

The worst thing is Franklin's collar, which is microprinted with the words "The United States Of America".

How accurate should the TV version be? One thousandth of a millimeter? Is it enough? One ten-thousandth of a millimeter? Not enough, Li asked what he wanted to achieve was the taste of the original dollar, and the most important thing was that there was no moiré pattern.

You let Liang Jiahui really do this...

Impossible!

So, special effects actors are needed...

The most exciting part of "Wushuang" is not the story, but the process of making counterfeit banknotes: the crew really invited a professional master to reproduce the entire banknote printing process from beginning to end according to the process of making fake US bills and the tools and processes involved.

Of course, the printing press used by the crew is a letterpress printing press, not gravure - the gravure printing press will make the ink solidify on the surface of the paper, and it will have the texture of that banknote, but the gravure printing press is strictly controlled all over the world and is not easy to buy...

Even when Lu Xiaoran was shooting, the use of gravure printing press was supervised by staff throughout the whole process...

Probably worried about something...

How to say it, when the counterfeit banknotes appeared in front of the relevant personnel of the crew, a group of people really couldn't help but be happy, including Lu Xiaoran - knowing that it was a counterfeit banknote, but there was still a sense of accomplishment!

Suddenly I kind of understand that Li asked!

He is making counterfeit money with the feelings of an artist.
