"Tang An will make the most bizarre bank robbery in history, spanning more than 2,000 kilometers, and stealing more than S$2 million from a Singapore bank to Ao Men in the air!"

"Is it magic or spell?

"The ghost director Tang An's brain exploded and robbed the bank in the air!"

"If the highest level of magic, if he can steal money from a bank more than 2,000 kilometers away, it will surpass David Copperfield's 1983 appearance of the Statue of Liberty in New York in front of a large audience and 50 million television viewers, even more bizarre than the "Baglas" effect!"

......

To put it bluntly, magicians are ancient jugglers, who generally use props or techniques or psychology to make the impossible possible.

The earliest magician in China is probably a monk, that is, an ancient god stick, who made a living by fooling people.

In the general way, the common people can eat together, and the awesome Fang Shi can fool the emperor.

Calling for wind and rain, sprinkling beans into soldiers, cutting off heads and resurrecting, spitting fire with broken tongues, resurrection from the dead, etc., have been clearly recorded in history.

"Taiping Yulan Fangshu Department" wrote: "Huainan Wang is a good monk, all with a view of the arts, and then painted the land for the rivers, the soil for the mountains, the shhhing for the cold and heat, the cough for the rain and dew, the king and the monks went together."

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the illusion mastered by the monks reached the point of perfection.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Fangshu" recorded: "There was a storm from the west, and Fan Ying said to the scholar: "Cheng-the city is very hot. ”

Because of the water in the west, it is the time of the reporter. After the guest, there was a fire from Shudu, and the clouds were extinguished.

It means that one day there was a gust of wind blowing in the west, and a man named Fan Ying told his disciple that a fire had broken out in Chengdu.

So he spit out a mouthful of water to the west, and let people remember the good days, and after a while, a guest from Bashu said that there was a fire that day, and black clouds drifted from the east, and it didn't take long for it to rain heavily, and the fire was extinguished.

Of course, this is all fake, and if it's really so awesome, it won't become an immortal early.

Of course, the magic that Tang An is shooting now is also fake, and the day after he came to Aomen from the capital, a start-up ceremony was held, and the shooting officially began.

The entire script has been divided, and the filming locations involve multiple countries.

Most of the locations in the film are in several countries in Southeast Asia, and after several months of hard work by the location team, they also found a good shooting location.

Basically, they are concentrated in the two areas of Omen and Singapore, and buildings from various countries can be found here, so there is no need to run around.

The first stop was at Aomen, and today we will shoot the four of them performing magic alone, two during the day and two at night.

As the leading actor, Deng Chao filmed Liu Ye's scene first at night.

The crew contacted a restaurant by the sea and was willing to provide the filming location free of charge.

But the crew playing the role of diners in a group must order enough food and pay for it.

There was no problem with this, men and women of all ages were selected in the crew to change into suitable clothes and sit at the table by the sea.

"This boss is also enough to deduct!"

Tang An, who was directing everyone to fiddle with the lights and cameras, saw that the waiters in the restaurant were desperately putting food on each table, and there were bottles of wine of unknown brand.

"Director Tang, why don't I go and talk to them?" Zhao Lei took the initiative to ask.

"No, I don't. ”

Tang An shook his head, "This kind of seaside restaurant won't have anything too expensive, you go and tell the boss not to do so much first, and then go back to it when the filming starts." ”

After finishing speaking, Tang An continued to talk to the actors.

is in a foreign country, although Chen Guozhang contacted a local film and television company in Aomen, which can provide group performances and group specials, Tang An tried his best to find people from the crew to make cameos in order to be less troublesome.

However, the two group performers in this scene still invited two white people, because when Liu Ye guessed the name, he couldn't guess Zhao Qian, Sun and Li one by one.

More than half an hour later, the shooting began.

"Pay attention to all parts, check it carefully, this is our first scene, I hope it gets off to a good start!"

"The actors are in place!"

"The third scene, one shot, one time!"

"Let's go!"

With Tang An's order, after half a year, the crew re-entered the work.

In the restaurant by the sea, the hypnotic magician played by Liu Ye is performing here, and there is a sign with his own portrait in the middle.

It is written in Chinese, English and Portuguese: The world-famous magician Mike Sponfield solo tour.......

Well, David Copperfield's brother, Mike Sponfield.

The No. 1 camera was given to Liu Ye's eyes on the sign, and the camera slowly zoomed out, and Liu Ye and the two group performers appeared in the camera.

"Now look me in the eye!"

Liu Ye hugged a woman's head, and after two seconds, snapped his fingers to let her go.

Pull out two Australian dollars in the denomination of 100 from your pocket and spread them out slowly.

"Well, now if you can get this bill from me, it's yours. ”

The money was held in front of him, and the woman opposite wanted to stretch out her hand but couldn't, her face was full of surprise and puzzlement.

"Click!"

Halfway through the shooting, Tang An shouted to stop.

Although there was nothing wrong with their performances, Liu Ye had practiced this kind of magic trick many times, and his expressions and eyes were in place, but Tang An always felt that something was wrong.

Keep an eye on the monitor and lean back for a panoramic view.

After staring for a few seconds, Tang An realized that the problem was too strange.

Aomen is a tourist city, and the seaside should be overwhelmingly full of tourists.

Tang An thought about inviting a few whites and blacks from the crowd of onlookers around him, and they were willing to help make a cameo, anyway, they were here to play.

After a few people came out, it looked like it was much more coordinated.

Tang An shouted with a loudspeaker, "Everyone should be natural, don't just eat with your head down, you can prop your arms on the table or lean on the chair to watch Liu Ye perform here, or occasionally look at the sea in the distance." ”

Then I spoke to the foreigners in English.

Filming continues.

"The third scene, one shot, two times!"

"Let's go!"

"Now I'm going to take a peek at what's going on in your husband's head. ”

Liu Ye approached step by step, and the white actor said "NO" again and again, and slowly retreated.

Liu Ye pressed his right hand on his head, "I'm imagining, don't tell me." ”

"Beach, cocktail ....."

"Hawaii!"

Liu Ye snapped his fingers.

"Listen, it's a business trip!" the man explained.

"In a sense, it may be an old thing. ”

The man was exposed to the secret in his heart and was in a hurry to take his wife away.

However, Liu Ye stopped him, "You're thinking about a woman." ”

“A! B! C!D... H！I！J！”

When he saw the emptiness in the man's eyes, Liu Ye determined the initials, and then guessed the name in the same way.

Ask the woman next to you, "Do you know Janet?"

“S... S...... "Her mouth can't speak, she can only hiss.

“sister？”

“oh!”

Liu Ye was taken aback, "You're not traveling for business, you're traveling for Janette, your wife's sister?"

......

This magic trick by observing micro-expressions went well, NG 5 times, and only two were because of the actors' performances.

After the shooting, Deng Chao was asked to wear a sweatshirt and a hat to take a picture of his back outside.

I also have to settle the bill for the boss, as soon as I count the money, good guy, there are a dozen small tables in total, and I will ask for 1,500 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 8,000 yuan.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Give it to the sac, give it to the sac. The boss held the money in his hand and said casually in Chaoshan dialect with a smile on his face.

Hello uncle!

Are Chaoshan people so good at doing business?

then moved to the nearby beach, and the crew rented a boat to shoot the scene of the thief played by Deng Kai.

It's not difficult, it's still a cameo appearance by the crew.

And Deng Kai's magic trick is also very simple, and he has to deliberately let people debunk it, according to the rules, he gave 1,000 baht to the magician who debunked him, but when he gave the money, he took his wallet away unknowingly.

Everyone's location is different, and the background of the shoot is as small as possible to capture iconic buildings.

The two scenes during the day went well, and at nightfall, the scene where Tang Yan escaped from the water tank was filmed.

"Are the freshwater pomfrets ready?"

Coming to the filming location that had been arranged by another group of people, Tang An asked Zhang Yiping.

"It's ready, the pomfret eyes are painted with red paint, and the body is painted with glitter. Zhang Yiping replied.

"Well, let's get ready, shoot in an hour!"

Tang An nodded, of course it is impossible to use a real piranha, then it will really kill people if it is not done.

Freshwater pomfret bears some resemblance to piranhas, although their teeth are sharper than those of ordinary fish, but they are not aggressive, and their teeth are not as prominent as piranhas, but are blocked by thick lips.

In addition, the eyes of piranhas are red, and there seems to be a layer of silver powder on the fish's body, which is shiny.

The eyes are painted with paint and the body is smeared with glitter, which is enough to make it look like a fake.

However, there are a few close-ups that still have to be shot separately, get some piranhas to come over and film their fierce appearance and sharp teeth.

An hour later, the group performance on the scene was in place, and Tang Yan also changed into a sexy black leather coat and came out.
