Speaking of this, the beautiful waitress of the café came to remind us that it was time to get off work, and we realized that the café was empty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I saw that Producer Lin still had a lot to say, so I went to the hotel room with him. The suite he lived in was on the top floor of the Great Wall Hotel, and at that time, there were not many high-rise buildings in the East Third Ring Road, and there was even more peace in front of him. Standing in front of the large glass window of the room, overlooking the faintly lit and deep Beijing architecture, there is also an indescribable sense of heaviness in my heart.

Producer Lin poured me a glass of Scotch single malt whisky, sat next to me, and said slowly, "Mr. Chang, my friends in Beijing have introduced you to me many times, saying that you are the Admiral of Jiumen in Beijing, you know, Hong Kong is a small place, Beijing is different, the history is rich, the culture is brilliant, and I know you today, I think the people of Beijing are also very unusual." ”

I smiled at him, "Mr. Lin, there is an old Chinese saying that if you have friends from afar, you don't have to say it. You came to Beijing and are my friends, and your business is naturally my business, so you don't have to be polite at all. There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, saying that if you are frightened, you will be in great trouble... If you think you are the world, if you can send it to the world. Mr. Lin, what you are worried about is not your own body, but the major events of the world, so if you have anything to ask, you can just say it. ”

Producer Lin laughed twice, "Mr. Chang is worthy of being the Admiral of the Nine Gates, he can see through it, he can see it through." As he spoke, he took a thick envelope and stuffed it into my hand. He took a sip of his wine and continued to talk to me.

Producer Lin was busy going to Hong Kong to find the actor again, but fortunately, the heroine didn't give any advice and was willing to return with him first, and the actor was decided, and then he would go back to Beijing to shoot together. But Producer Lin knows that this woman named Cheng Manlin is very unusual, a year ago she was still setting up a stall in Yau Ma Tei, and within a year, she first entered the top ten of Hong Kong sisters, and then signed a contract with a film company, and now she has become the heroine, and there is no one behind her, so it is impossible to have this opportunity. And the person behind it should be very unusual, even the boss of Producer Lin has to be careful, for fear of making a mistake. She was so empathetic that producer Lin was relieved.

Regarding the change of filming venue, Producer Lin thought about it for a long time, and still talked to the representatives of mainland film studios. Unexpectedly, the production director and executive director sent by the factory are all masters who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, and patted their chests and told Producer Lin that there is no need to be afraid of any ghosts and foxes on the ground in Beijing, and our photography, lighting, art, costumes, drama management, and group performances are forty or fifty people, all of whom are strong guys in their twenties and thirties, and they are very angry, and the factory is specially equipped with four security officers, and the ghosts and gods have to hide, what are you afraid of? It's filmed here, and then tossed, the crew doesn't know how many people will go in and out.

Producer Lin thought about it, after all, the rent has been paid, and it may not be so suitable to find a place again, and there is an extra fee, and it is no problem to invite more than a dozen local masters for this money, so let's just pat it first.

According to the rules of the Hong Kong film company, when the film is officially started, the master must be invited to do a magic thing to bless the crew with a safe shooting, and also worship the local ghosts and gods for convenience, but the film studio resolutely refuses to do it, mainly because the superior leaders want to participate, for fear that the impact will not be good.

After the start-up, according to everyone's previous agreement, Producer Lin took the heroine back to Hong Kong first, signed a new actor, and then returned to shoot the rivalry and group scenes of the two protagonists. The executive director led the team to shoot the other parts first, and Lin Producer's assistant Drive Wang stayed behind to cooperate with Director He.

After that, every day, Lin Producer's assistant would report the progress of the work by phone.

It was spring when the shooting started, everything was recovering, the weather was fine, and the progress of the location shooting was very fast, and the work was completed in less than ten days. After that, it's time to shoot the scene inside the building. Since most of them were night plays, the crew chartered a guest house next to the Red Mansion and stationed there. When the props and stage artists cleaned up the small building, the crew found that although the small building was a little old, the room was spacious and bright, well-equipped, and the environment was quiet, which was much better than squeezing in a guest house. So Director He, the director team, the filming team and the main actors moved into the Red House for the convenience of work, and the others still lived in the guest house.

In order to facilitate communication with Director He, the drive king also moved in. But the crew thought his name was troublesome, and they all called him a big stomach. On the first day that the Big Stomach King moved in, he found something abnormal. There is no bathroom mirror, but there are traces of the original mirror on the wall, and the mirror is gone. The props group said that there were two bathrooms that originally had mirrors, but the mirrors were too long, all the flowers were polished, and only a figure could be reflected, and there were three bathrooms without mirrors at all.

When the big stomach twists the faucet, he finds that there is no water, and the faucet will make a low roar, like the sound made from the depths of the throat of a person who has not had water to drink for several days, very regular, and the ups and downs of the tone, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to. The key is that every time from turning on the faucet to the water coming out, the time is different, it seems to be deliberately scaring you, always when you are unprepared, the water gushes out, bluffing the big stomach king easily.

The big stomach king likes to drink some coffee, so he brought an electric kettle in, but he didn't expect that the kettle often didn't turn on, and the button jumped up, and when he made coffee, he found that it was warm water. The big stomach king didn't have a rut, just like everyone, he made a kettle and went to the water room to turn on the water.

The crew is equipped with European-style furniture in the room, and it is deliberately old, and the curtains are also very heavy, and the room is empty and dark. Big Stomach King is a rare big man in Hong Kong, weighing nearly 200 pounds, lying on the iron frame bed, always feeling when the bed will collapse, when he is half asleep, he will also feel that the bed is shaking from side to side, as if floating in the air. When he opened his eyes suddenly, the bed was not moving, but the ceiling was one of those diamond-shaped wooden latticework, and it felt like it was not only spinning, but also falling rapidly, of course, it was just a terrible hallucination.

But in the eyes of the big stomach, the other people who lived in the Red Mansion didn't seem to have any trouble with this and enjoyed it. Director He simply hired a cook, and even three meals a day were solved in the Red Mansion.

Of course, what really opened the eyes of the big stomach king was Director He's style. In addition to the four actors in the film studio, the female No. 3, the maid, and six or seven celebrities of the Republic of China all need to be recruited separately, Director He doesn't know what means he used, and there are actually thirty or forty people competing for these roles. The interview was preliminary, and there were sixteen shortlisted candidates. Director He organized a dance party for three consecutive nights, which was called a simulated movie scene to choose roles.

On the first day, the big stomach king still didn't understand the mystery, and made serious preparations to attend, wanting to give advice to He Dao's staff and staff, and at the beginning of the ball, he realized that what he was thinking was purely superfluous. A few candidates who didn't understand the situation wore heavy makeup, some wore exaggerated European-style dresses, and some wore high-slit cheongsams.

And more people understood the number of roads, and they surrounded Director He and the production director, and for a while, the warblers sang and laughed, and the spring was rippling. At that moment, the big stomach king really had an illusion, could it be that Beijing in the Republic of China was so red, fat, green and thin, singing and dancing?

Originally, the big stomach king was not a decent gentleman, but he lived in the Red Mansion for a few days, and he always felt that what happened here was weird everywhere, and he didn't pay much attention to those things that were acting on the spot.

I took a glass of red wine, sat in the corner of the restaurant, listened to the intoxicating tunes of old Shanghai played on the stereo, and watched all kinds of people in the crew dance ballroom dances with the girls who applied for the draft. Director He's dancing skills are really not very good, but he is quite open, hugging left and right for a while, seeking up and down for a while, busy and happy, the production director is relatively introverted, and his gestures are a little elegant, but a pair of swollen eyes behind his eyes expose his heart, patrolling left and right, and there is no certainty.

The big stomach king looked a little boring, chatted with the artists of the crew, drank two glasses of red wine, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep. Suddenly, he noticed a strange place. The ceiling in the living room of the small building is very high, and a group of huge chandeliers hang down, it is estimated that for the hazy atmosphere, the lights are only turned on a few times, and the light in the living room is dim. And a few colored lights were lit on all sides, and the ground was projected with a halo of colorful lights. Originally, the people dancing on the dance floor had a long projection, but the big stomach king saw two shadows that did not belong to anyone, and they were also mixed with the shadows of everyone, shuttling on the wooden floor of the dance floor.

The big stomach king rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully, these two shadows should be the shadows of two women in long skirts, the skirts are very large, and they move very elegantly. But the Big Stomach King couldn't find the two women on the dance floor, and a chill ran from his back to his heart. The big stomach king poured another glass of red wine, drank it in one gulp, and continued to observe with wide eyes.

After two more songs, the two shadows stopped in front of the bar opposite, and from the shape of the shadows, it seemed that the two women were facing each other, talking about something. After a while, another shadow slipped over and stopped next to the two shadows, followed by a second, then a third.
