Chapter 516: An Unexpected Visitor
Morning, Bangkok street ......
Well, strictly speaking, there weren't usually so many people on this street.
Although Li Mo's movie is called "Detective Chinatown", as we all know, Bangkok's Chinatown is one of the most prosperous areas in the entire city, and it is a must-visit place for tourists from all over the world to come to Bangkok, so no matter how preferential the local government treats foreign film and television crews, it is absolutely impossible for Li Mo to toss on this street in broad daylight.
In order to fit the theme of 'Chinatown', Li Mo adopted the method of asking the crew to shoot many empty shots and local street scene photos in Chinatown in advance, and then based on the photos taken, he applied to the Bangkok Metropolitan Government for a street of similar length to Chinatown, but far less prosperous, and then according to the photos taken, through segmented sets, this place became 'Chinatown'......
Of course, this 'change' is only the external decoration of some street scenes, which is not only rough, but also reveals the stuff as long as the camera is careless, but compared with the full set of the entire real Chinatown, although this method is more troublesome, it undoubtedly costs much less money.
…… The only problem is that the crew's cinematographer has receded a lot in just two or three days.
According to the original shooting plan, today was supposed to shoot the scene where Tang Ren made a mess of the Chinatown market in order to avoid the police and made the police chasing him embarrassed, but because Wang Baoqiang's condition was obviously not good, it was temporarily changed to the scene of Huang Landon playing Cheng He chasing Tang Ren.
Of course, no matter how Li Mo moves around, this scene is still a group play.
Except for Cheng He, who came from China, the actors who played the Bangkok police were all extras from the local area.
Because the film industry in the Kingdom of Thailand is really not very developed, even if the assistant director of the crew prepared in advance and searched all kinds of ways in Bangkok, at least half of the people who appeared on the set in the end were novices who had no acting experience.
Regarding this situation, in addition to recognizing the work of the assistant directors, the only thing Li Mo can do is to remind them: "Everyone must take care of the actors they have found, even if they can't make any great expressions, it doesn't matter, the focus of our meeting must be on Cheng He." ”
Extras, group shows......
The combination of these two factors is already the most difficult.
"Everyone, cheer up, the first scene of "Tang Detective", action!"
In the monitor, Li Mo was staring at Cheng He alone.
As for the other people who served as the background board for him, Li Mo was all handed over to the assistant directors to be responsible.
Anyway, the audit standards have been given to them, as long as it is not a fatal problem, Li Mo can accept it.
There's no way, there are too many shots in this group scene, if he even has to stare at the role of the extras himself, let alone the National Day file in 2014, it would be thankful to be able to catch up with the National Day file in 2015.
The camera is aimed at Cheng He, who is running.
Cheng He's face was full of panting, puffing......
"Click!"
"Hehe, there's something wrong with your expression!"
It was less than ten seconds after the camera was turned on, and before the extras acting as the background board even started to move, Li Mo had already shouted to stop.
Cheng He's face was naturally a little unpleasant.
He also saw that Li Mo arranged his role in the first scene today, and he was used to boil the crew.
But what could he do?
Li Mo is not only his boss, but also his benefactor now.
If it weren't for Li Moxue's charcoal and helping him solve his worries, he wouldn't know where he would be pitting......
beckoned, Li Mo called Cheng He to his side, pointed to the picture in the monitor just now and began to point out the problem just now.
"Hehe, the degree of change in the expression on your face can be a little bigger, although our play is called "Detective Chinatown", but each character has its own role, although you play Huang Langdon has a certain talent, but most of the time, it still exists as a funny character. ”
"But, anyway, I'm playing a local policeman in Bangkok, wouldn't it be a bit bad to be a fool on the street?"
Cheng He still seems to be a little unable to turn around.
"You can rest assured of this," Li Mo patted Cheng He on the shoulder and pointed to the local actors around him, "Before these people came to the crew, they all knew what the filming location was today, you see, didn't they all have no objections?"
"Uh......"
Cheng He looked left and right, and was speechless for an instant.
The local group performers around him didn't seem to take himself so embarrassed by the police at all......
…… Even those in local police uniforms didn't seem to think that the police couldn't catch two prisoners seriously with so many people on the street.
It seems that only the army can be relied on, and the idea that the police are just a lump of flying is really ingrained in the minds of the locals......
"That'...... Okay, I'll give it a try. ”
After restarting, Cheng He's facial expression was really exaggerated.
The kind of facial expression mobilization from anxiety to euphoria, from euphoria to ecstasy, and then from ecstasy to astonishment is a must......
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Mo always feels that this guy has stubbornly played some aspects of 'Huang Langden' into 'Zeng Xiaoxian'......
However, it seems that this way is also quite good.
After watching Cheng He's performance just now, Li Mo nodded.
"Okay, this shot is over!"
I was going to use Cheng He to run in with the crew, but I didn't expect this guy to really have a set of comedy scenes, even if it has been so long, he still finds the feeling very quickly, and judging from the current situation of the crew, it seems that the preparations of several assistant directors are still in place......
"Very well, the crews returned to their positions and began to prepare for the next one. ”
…… As the first day of filming, the progress of the crew of "Detective Chinatown" this morning is actually not slow, but even so, as of noon, the filming progress in the morning is still delayed to a certain extent until noon.
But Li Mo didn't care about this.
Being able to set the tone and general style of the actors when performing on the first day is already a lot of progress.
Besides, even though the staff of Molong Media are very efficient, the local actors in Bangkok don't know if the professional level is not enough or the local ethnicity is like that......
However, Li Mo planned a two-month filming time for this drama, and there are not too many scenes like this large-scale use of local group performances in the future, so even according to the worst-case estimate, Li Mo is confident that the filming will be completed in about 50 days.
…… Cheng Sicheng, who was in the original time and space, seemed to have only spent fifty-seven days filming this drama, and Li Mo felt that he could not be worse than him.
After an hour's rest after lunch and a few more NGs, the 'Chinatown Arrest' scene filmed on the built set finally came to an end.
Just as Li Mo was about to inform the crew of the special show, Feng Wen suddenly walked over.
"Brother Mo, Sister Xiao Di and Brother Fa are here. ”
"Little Di, how did she know we were here?"
Looking at Feng Wen's cramped expression, Li Mo didn't know that Feng Wen, this kid, had become a 'traitor'......
Forget it, it's not a secret thing to be filming here, just say it.
"That's it, Brother Fa?"
With this name in his mouth, Li Mo's face became more and more surprised, "It shouldn't be Zhou Runfa, right?"
Feng Wen nodded.
It's weird, how did they get together?
