Jiang Ran's meeting with Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong went well, although the two had some doubts about Jiang Ran's directing ability at the beginning, but after Jiang Ran came up with a thick storyboard script, the two completely believed what Jiang Ran said, Ranfeng Film Company would make complete preliminary preparations for filming and Jiang Ran already had the filming picture of the movie in his mind.

"Ah Fa and Ah Hong are very happy that you can join the crew of "Nightclub", believe me, you will not regret this decision. Jiang Ran said happily to the two after the two agreed to join the crew.

After the conversation just now, Zhong Chuhong was already familiar with Jiang Ran, and after hearing Jiang Ran's words, he said with a pitiful face: "Ah Ran, in the future, Ah Fa Ke and I will start work under you, if the performance is not good, you can't yell at us." ”

Looking at Zhong Chuhong's beautiful face, coupled with the big watery eyes staring at him flashing back and forth, Jiang Ran only felt that his liver trembled, and male hormones were secreted very quickly, "This is a goblin who is fascinated by death, no wonder he was later rated as the top ten sexy actresses by Hong Kong and Taiwan media." Jiang Ran thought in his heart, but said with a smile: "Ah Hong, you are laughing, how can I yell at people casually with such a good temper, not to mention Ah Hong, you are so charming that the man is willing to yell at you?"

"Ah Ran, this is what you said yourself, don't regret it! Producer Liu and Ah Fa, you have to testify to me. After Zhong Chuhong listened to Jiang Ran's words, he immediately said with a smug face, Chow Yun-fat and Liu Liwei.

After Jiang Ran got Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong, he met with Yuan Hua, Yuan Fang, Hu Feng, Liu Zhaoming and Qin Huang respectively, and confirmed the contract schedule with several people, so far the cast of the movie "Nightclub" is basically complete.

On September 18, 1981, Hong Kong's Kowloon Jiang Ran's first film "Nightclub" was holding a kick-off ceremony. ”

After the start-up ceremony, Jiang Ran gathered all the crew together, looked at Chen Baixiang, Chow Yun-fat, Zhong Chuhong in the cast, and Zhong Zhiwen and Zhang Shuping, who were behind the scenes, and said in high spirits: "Okay, our "Nightclub" movie crew will officially start filming today. First of all, welcome everyone to join this crew, and hope that in the future filming process, we can sincerely cooperate and happily complete the filming of the movie. In addition, I hope that during the filming process, if there are any questions that can be raised to me, I will solve them according to the actual situation, but I also hope that you will know that the screenwriter and director of this film are me, I hope everyone respects my final decision, of course, you can come to me after the filming is over, and if you can convince me, I will respect your opinion. ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the crew members around him, and without waiting for them to react, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, if it's okay, everyone will start doing things, and we will start preparing for filming." ”

After all the crew members dispersed, Tsui Hark walked up to Jiang Ran and said, "Ah Ran, yes, it's very director-like." ”

"Brother Xu, I want to thank you for coming to my town today. Jiang Ran said to Tsui Hark with a smile on his face.

"Do you still need me to give you a town? The movie is made by yourself, who dares to disagree. ”

Jiang Ran is really grateful to Tsui Hark, although as Tsui Hark said, the movie was filmed by Jiang Ran, and theoretically no one can prick him, but you can't do anything about it during the filming process. Now on the first day of the filming, Tsui Hark came to stand for Jiang Ran, which shows that Jiang Ran has connections in the film industry, if the crew is passive and slacking off, with Tsui Hark's current status as a 10-million-level director in Hong Kong, as long as they say a word, they may have a lot fewer job opportunities.

Jiang Ran's first scene filmed today is Zhu Liao's appearance in the supermarket, which is different from Zhu Liao's appearance in the original movie, and now Jiang Ran decided to design a tribute to Bruce Lee after discussing with the editor, and Zhu Liao will appear in Bruce Lee's classic costumes and actions.

"Director Jiang, all aspects are ready. A young man in his twenties came to Jiang Ran and reported that this was the scene record of the crew.

Jiang Ran stood behind the monitor and asked loudly, "Are the groups ready?"

"The props team is ready. ”

"The lights are ready. ”

"The camera crew is ready. ”

"The actors are in place. ”

Hearing that the crew was ready, Jiang Ran shouted loudly: "Let's start!"

"The first scene of "Nightclub", the first shot, the first article, start!"

In the sound of the "click" of the scene, the camera was aimed at the door of the supermarket, Yuan Hua was wearing a yellow and black one-piece sportswear, with a pair of brown toad glasses on his face, and jumped into the supermarket, and after coming to Chow Yun-fat, he kicked sideways, and then shook his index finger at Chow Yun-fat, and said: "You can't do it, this appearance can only be a salesperson." Then he pointed at himself with his thumb, then pushed his nose, and continued to say to Chow Yun-fat: "And buddy is going to be hot." ”

Zhong Chuhong looked at Chow Yun-fat strangely, Chow Yun-fat lowered his head and said, "This is a friend of mine." ”

Jiang Ran looked at Yuan Hua, who jumped out of the monitor with a little funny, Chow Yun-fat, who was restrained and helpless, showing a shy look, and Zhong Chuhong, who was looking at Yuan Hua with a blank and strange look on his face, shouted with satisfaction: "Stop! This performance is good, keep it up, let's do it again." ”

After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he beckoned the crew to rearrange the scene, and then shouted to several actors: "Ah Fa, Ah Hong, you guys come over for a while." ”

Several cast and crew members came to Jiang Ran and greeted: "Director Jiang!"

Jiang Ran pointed to the picture taken in the monitor just now and said to Chow Yun-fat first: "Ah Fa, wait a minute, before you talk to Ah Hong, you must have a smirk, and you must have the nervousness and embarrassment of Brother Chu when facing the object of secret thoughts, and you have to expose the braces in your mouth." He turned his head and instructed Zhong Chuhong again: "Ah Hong, wait a minute, you have to show your surprise and incomprehension when you see Zhu Liao's dress and behavior, and look a little idiot." ”

After the scene lighting photography is ready again, "The first scene of "Nightclub", the first shot, the second one, start!"

"Stop! This is over, get ready for the next one. "This time, the shooting effect completely achieved the effect that Jiang Ran wanted.

"Ah Ran, well done, the crew is running, the actors' guidance and the shooting effect are very good. Tsui Hark had been watching from the side just now, and when he saw that Jiang Ran had arranged the shooting in an orderly manner, he sighed.

"Brother Xu, don't be polite, just praise people, you have to point out to me if there is anything that needs to be improved. Jiang Ran said to Tsui Hark with a sincere face, in terms of film shooting, Tsui Hark can be said to be Jiang Ran's teacher.

"Ah Ran, I'm not polite, you dispatched this scene really well. ”

Jiang Ran patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, "Hey, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when you said that, you don't know how nervous I was just now." ”

"Ha-ha, Aran, are you so nervous?" Tsui Hark laughed and teased Jiang Ran.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's the first time I'm in charge of the director's tube, what's so strange about being nervous, I don't believe you'll be nervous when directing a movie for the first time?" Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and said with disdain for Tsui Hark's ridicule.

On the first day of filming of "Nightclub", Tsui Hark has been helping Jiang Ran to check the scene at the scene, and saw that although Jiang Ran was a little rusty in controlling the crew, he was not flustered, everything was in order, and he did not come back to the crew after being relieved, after all, he still had a mess to do.

As the filming progressed, Jiang Ran became more and more comfortable with the director's work, and the crew became more and more smooth after passing the run-in in the early stage, and the filming progress was also accelerated.
