Chapter 56: Spear and Shield
"Police Story" officially started filming, and Jiang Ran, as the director of the movie, was busy every day.
This movie is different from the previous two films in which Jiang Ran participated, this is an action movie, and there are a lot of action scenes throughout the movie, and Jiang Ran does not have much experience in this regard.
Jackie Chan, as the action director and actor of "Police Story", after the filming of the movie started, the workload and pressure in the crew was greater than Jiang Ran, because Jiang Ran was not very satisfied with the actions he designed.
is also because Jiang Ran was dissatisfied with the action scenes designed by Jackie Chan after the filming of the movie started, so the movie has not been smooth since the start of filming.
may be the reason why Jackie Chan has been filming Republic of China dramas, and the actions he designed are full of old-fashioned flavor in Jiang Ran's opinion, although they are also very exciting, and the fights are also very interesting. But when these actions match the whole movie, it always feels a little bit less flavorful.
On this day, the scene was filming a scene where Chen Jiaju fought with the police officer who pretended to be a robber at Shalena's house when he was protecting Shalena.
Jiang Ran watched Jackie Chan and Feng Ke'an punch and kick in the monitor, and the two played very hard. Jiang Ran shouted helplessly: "CUT!"
Everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Ran, such a simple scene has been reshot six times, and everyone doesn't know if it can be passed this time.
Jiang Ran saw everyone looking at him expectantly, although he was very annoyed, but looking at the tense atmosphere at the shooting scene, Jiang Ran still suppressed the irritability in his heart, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone take a rest first, and we'll do it again later." ”
Saying that, Jiang Ran lived on the other end and shouted to Jackie Chan: "Ah Long, come over and let's discuss, and Ah An, Ah Quan, and Ah Kun will also come together." ”
Jackie Chan's face was very bad, and after the whole movie started, Jiang Ran was not very satisfied with the actions he designed. In today's scene, Jackie Chan thinks it is already very good, but after filming it five times, Jiang Ran is still not satisfied.
"Director Jiang, I think this scene is already very good, why are you not satisfied?" Jackie Chan's words were full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
Jiang Ran's eyes moved away from the monitor, he glanced up at Jackie Chan, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Ah Long, you are a little impatient now, go and be quiet first, and then we will discuss." ”
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he ignored Jackie Chan, who was pale, and continued to play back the scene he had just filmed.
Jackie Chan looked at Jiang Ran's indifferent eyes, listened to the irrefutable words, and the anger that had been accumulating in his heart suddenly came out, and he blushed and wanted to find Jiang Ran's theory.
Fortunately, Feng Ke'an, who was next to him, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly grabbed Jackie Chan and persuaded: "Ah Long, I'm tired after filming so many scenes in a row, let's go over there and take a rest." ”
Jackie Chan hadn't lost his mind yet, and after being pulled by Feng Ke'an, he took a deep breath, calmed down, walked to the side with Feng Ke'an and sat down, with a gloomy face and a silent face.
Since Jackie Chan became famous, when he made movies in Hong Kong, most producers and directors would accommodate him. Therefore, in the case of unsatisfactory shooting, Jiang Ran gave him a face, and Jackie Chan was very unaccustomed to it.
"Aaron, you're too impatient. I also know that this scene has never passed, and you have anger in your heart. But no one in the whole crew is in a hurry, I believe Director Jiang is not feeling well, so I let everyone take a break and calm down their emotions, so that they can discuss things well. ”
Although Feng Kean is not very famous, he has old seniority in the Hong Kong film industry, so he was able to persuade the angry Jackie Chan just now, and continued to appease Jackie Chan on the side.
"Brother An, tell me, just such a scene, repeated filming six times, and he is still not satisfied. If he wants him to say the reason, and he can't say why, isn't this deliberately embarrassing?"
After Jackie Chan sat down, after listening to Feng Ke'an's persuasion, his mood calmed down a lot, but he still said indignantly.
Feng Ke'an shook his head and said with a smile: "Ah Long, you are also a person who has been in the film industry for many years and has achieved fame. In the Hong Kong film industry, the director is the master of the set. I haven't met a few directors I've worked with over the years who are reasonable, and I've met more directors who scold my mother. ”
When Feng Ke'an said this, he smiled bitterly, perhaps remembering the scene of being scolded.
After Jackie Chan listened to Feng Ke'an's words, he didn't refute it, because Feng Ke'an was talking about the reality in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is normal for actors to be scolded by the director.
Jackie Chan was still thinking about Feng Ke'an's words, so he heard him continue: "Ah Long, you questioned Director Jiang in front of so many people just now, no wonder Director Jiang gave you a face." ”
"Ah Long, you are now a well-known actor in Hong Kong, whether you are in Siyuan or Golden Harvest, the boss of the company praises you, so when you are on the set, the director will let you. ”
"But who is the director of this movie now? Is he the same as the director you worked with? You must know that Jiang Ran is not only the director of the movie, he is also the owner of the production company of the film, although you have a good relationship in private, but in terms of work on the set, he can now be said to be our boss, and everything must be based on him. ”
Jackie Chan has basically calmed down the anger in his heart now, and after thinking about Feng Ke'an's words, it makes a lot of sense, so he said sincerely: "Brother An, thank you today, I was really impatient just now." ”
Feng Ke'an saw that Jackie Chan had recovered, and said with a smile: "Ah Long, what are you polite to me? I'm going to eat with you now." ”
The crew also found out that Jackie Chan and Jiang Ran seemed to be a little unhappy just now, and everyone was secretly paying attention to the development of things. saw that after Jackie Chan talked with Feng Ke'an for a while, the two stood up and walked over to Jiang Ran.
Jackie Chan walked in front of Jiang Ran and saw that Jiang Ran was still looking at the monitor, ignoring his plans.
After Feng Ke'an's persuasion, Jackie Chan has already thought about it now, so he didn't care about Jiang Ran's attitude, and said directly to Jiang Ran sincerely: "Director Jiang, I was too impatient just now, I'm very sorry!"
Jiang Ran only then took his eyes off the monitor, looking at Jackie Chan's sincere appearance, Jiang Ran smiled slightly, and said, "Ah Long, it's good that you can calm down, you don't have to worry about other things." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Ran suddenly raised his voice so that everyone in the crew could hear it, and took the opportunity to encourage the crew's somewhat low morale.
"Our crew has just started to operate and cooperate now, and there will definitely be a run-in process in between, and the work is not smooth at the beginning, and there are some problems, which are normal. Don't worry, let's just work together to solve the problem. ”
"In today's scene, there is a complicated NG, it's not someone's fault, everyone is working hard, it's just that we haven't found that reasonable point yet, maybe we will have a feeling next time, and it may not be necessary to pass it once. Don't worry, let's work together and try to get over as soon as possible. ”
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he called Jackie Chan and several people to the monitor, and showed them the pictures taken in front of him, and then played them a few times.
Jiang Ran asked a few people, "Do you feel that the whole picture is a little incongruous, and it always feels a little fake." When you look at it, is there a kind of house, although you are in a modern urban bungalow, but the picture of the fight is the style of the Republic of China. ”
Jiang Ran has always felt that the fight scenes designed by Jackie Chan and the others are not quite right, but the specific reason has not been found.
When Jackie Chan and the others started watching it, they always felt that it was actually very good, but now after listening to Jiang Ran's words, after Jackie Chan played the picture back again, he suddenly found that it seemed to be a little incongruous.
"It's a bit of an incongruity, but how to solve this problem?" Jackie Chan then watched the replay a few times and said to himself.
Feng Ke'an and a few people have been watching from the side, but they didn't make a sound, and after hearing Jackie Chan's words, Wang Kun suddenly answered next to him.
