Chapter 25: Into the Crew

"Gunshots" ...... Just look at the title and know that it is a gunfight movie.

Wu Huai didn't get the complete script, only an outline of more than 5,000 words.

He watched it back and forth four or five times, and he also got a general idea of the main line of this script.

The story takes place in Wangmen, when the day changes, the regime has no psychology, and the situation is chaotic.

Yang Zheng, a young man from a rural mountain village, is ambitious and vows to get ahead.

In a gang fight, Yang Zheng saved Duan Qingzhou, the son of the Qingmen Gang's storyteller, and the two became acquainted.

Wangmen, which seems to be gentle and calm, is actually like an undercurrent surging under the frozen river, deceitful and deceitful, and there are many confrontations.

Duan Qingzhou's father died in a gang fight, and Duan Qingzhou was elected to the top position and took charge of Qingmen.

Duan Qingzhou invited Yang Zheng to serve as a white paper fan, and under Yang Zheng's advice, Duan Qingzhou devoured and encroached, and his territory continued to grow.

As his power grew stronger and stronger, Duan Qingzhou seemed to be carried away by the victory, and even moved the idea of washing ~ robbing silver ~ the head office.

Yang Zheng's repeated persuasions were fruitless, and he couldn't bear his friend's destruction, so he secretly called the police, trying to force Duan Qingzhou to stop.

But he didn't want the police to start a fierce shootout with Duan Qingzhou and others, Duan Qingzhou and others were all killed, and all the underground forces in Wangmen were destroyed by the blow of Mu La, and none of them were spared.

Under extreme remorse and pain, Yang Zheng left Wangmen, left the girl he liked, and went away.

It wasn't until a chance ten years later that Yang Zheng returned to Wangmen and found that everything back then was carefully planned by Duan Qingzhou.

Duan Qingzhou had already reached an agreement with the higher-ups to take this opportunity to get rid of all underground forces.

And he himself broke out of his shell and embezzled a huge amount of money from the gang, so that he could change his face and become a celebrity in the upper class, and take the woman Yang Zheng likes for himself......

Yang Zheng, who found all this, was cold in his heart, it turned out that everything stemmed from Duan Qingzhou's betrayal, in order to avenge his dead brother, Yang Zheng picked up the gun again, and the gun went off......

This is another story about bonds and betrayal, and the plot is a bit new and not so cliché.

Wu Huai pondered for a moment, and then looked at the character script again.

Xu Yemo, the role given to Wu Huai by the crew, was one of the gangsters who died in the gunfight between the police and bandits.

Interestingly, this character did not die unjustly, but willingly died......

In the play, Xu Yemo and his sister smuggled ~ to Mong Kok, and the two were helpless and struggling to survive.

His sister was seriously ill, Xu Yemo stole money and wanted to treat his sister, but he was caught and beaten violently, and happened to be met by Duan Qingzhou.

Duan Qingzhou took a fancy to Xu Yemo, who had a tough personality and ruthlessness, took in their brother and sister, and paid for his sister's medical treatment.

Although his sister eventually died of a serious illness, Xu Yemo remembered his kindness and became a sharp knife in his hand.

In that gunfight between the police and bandits, the gang inadvertently discovered that Duan Qingzhou was in and out of the gang, and wanted to destroy the gang, and the gang was angry and wanted to kill Duan Qingzhou first.

Even if he became a victim, Xu Yemo still stood firmly on Duan Qingzhou's side, and he used his life to buy Duan Qingzhou time to escape, which eventually led to the destruction of Qingmen......

As Chen Chengquan said, this character's character is ruthless, tenacious, and indifferent, but he knows how to repay his kindness.

He didn't have much of a view of right and wrong, and he didn't care who was right and who was wrong, he only followed Duan Qingzhou's orders.

Just as his brother and sister said when they were taken in by Duan Qingzhou: If you are willing to save my sister, I am willing to die for you.

In the end, he fulfilled his promise and died for Duan Qingzhou......

Regardless of his view of right and wrong for the time being, his quality of knowing gratitude and repaying his kindness is indeed very attractive.

Especially in the shootout between the police and bandits, at the end, he held a gun in front of Duan Qingzhou and said indifferently, "He needs us to die...... Then everyone has to die!', there is indeed a sense of tragedy.

Although there are not many shots of Xu Yemo's role, the plasticity is still very strong.

After Wu Huai weighed the pros and cons, he sent a message to Chen Chengquan, expressing his willingness to try this role.

Chen Chengquan helped him contact the crew, and the two parties made an appointment to go to Hengcheng on Saturday to meet each other.

Because the studio needed someone to be in charge, Wu Huai rushed to Hengcheng alone, and it was Cheng Dezhi, the assistant director of the crew, who met with him.

After a simple audition for Wu Huai, Cheng Dezhi brought him very bad news: Xu Yemo's role was reduced.

The smuggling, theft, and memories of meeting Duan Qingzhou before the story have all been deleted, and only the perseverance and death in the gunfight between the police and bandits are retained.

Hearing the news, Wu Huai frowned, in fact, he could understand the decision made by the crew, after all, Xu Yemo's past is not the main plot, and it will take too much manpower and material resources to reshoot some scenes with many personnel, and there are many inconveniences in going back and forth.

But if this is the case, it means that Xu Yemo's role will be even thinner......

Xu Yemo's character design itself is supported by the past memories and plots, but now that they have been deleted, it is much more difficult for the performance.

If you are not careful, this character will become a character who only knows foolishness and loyalty, and has no thoughts of his own......

"Because all the details of this character were deleted, all the shots would be concentrated in the bank, and we only needed a week to complete all the footage...... "Cheng Dezhi said with a smile.

This is good news, no matter whether this movie succeeds or fails, it will not delay Wu Huai too much.

Wu Huai pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the salary?"

"I discussed with the director of production, because the filming cycle only takes one week, so the salary will give you 100,000 after tax...... What do you think?" Cheng Dezhi said.

Cheng Dezhi did not give Wu Huai much choice, either accept or refuse, this is the situation of an ordinary actor when facing the crew.

Wu Huai thought for a moment and nodded in response.

First of all, the filming of this character was not long, and it did not delay him too much.

The second is that there are so few works and roles that he can get his hands on at the moment, and he needs to enrich his acting resume as soon as possible...... Prepare for what's next!

After signing the contract, Wu Huai stayed in the hotel arranged by the crew and waited for the filming notice of the scene.

The next day, there was no scene of Wu Huai, but he still came to the set.

Everyone in the crew was a little puzzled by Wu Huai's arrival, and when they learned that he was taking over the role of Xu Yemo, everyone suddenly realized.

Most people were indifferent to his arrival and ignored him, but there were also a few supporting actors who looked at him whispering and had strange eyes.

Wu Huai didn't need to listen to it to guess their choreography, either they mocked their previous acting skills and wanted to see their own jokes, or they secretly hated themselves for taking away their opportunities and wanted to secretly make a stumbling block!

Wu Huai has long been accustomed to these and does not care about them.

Taking advantage of the free time for filming, Wu Huai came to the director Huang Xiaolou and said hello: "Director Huang, I'm Wu Huai who plays Xu Yemo, and I'm here to report to you." ”

Huang Xiaolou glanced at Wu Huai, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay for you, I can trust the actors introduced by Xiaoquan, think about the roles more carefully, and get into the state as soon as possible, the crew's time is very tight." ”

"Okay, I got it. Wu Huai nodded in response, a little surprised that Huang Xiaolou was such a gentle person, it was very good.

But soon, Wu Huai discovered that moderation is not an advantage for a director......
