Chapter 523: End
Lin Chen said: "Go back and contact Uncle Da and sign him into Lin Chen's studio." ”
"It's too unlikely. ”
Pan Bin shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, when you asked me to recruit troops, I contacted Uncle Da, but Uncle Da was not ready to return to the entertainment industry, and what happened back then seemed to have hit him hard." “
Today's occasion is not suitable for Lin Chen to do persuasion work.
However, since he was willing to borrow the crew's venue, Lin Chen thought that Uncle Da had not completely lost confidence in the entertainment industry, but he just needed to be properly guided.
For example, Liu Xiaoling's guidance condition is money.
After eating the hot pot, the crew quickly started.
It can be said that the start of filming of "Infernal Affairs 2" also affects the hearts of many people.
In addition to some who continue to be optimistic, there are also some voices who are pessimistic about "Infernal Affairs 2".
"I think the reason why "Infernal Affairs" is attractive is mainly because of the acting skills of Liu Tianwang and Liang Qingda, without these two people, the attraction is definitely not there. ”
"You must know that it is director Lin Chen, a screenwriter genius, a director genius, who has always been imitated and never surpassed!"
"I always feel that Liang Qingda's melancholy eyes are missing, and I feel that something is missing. ”
"Zhou Jiancheng is not much inferior to Liang Qingda, they are still brothers. ”
"Director Lin's movies always have to be supported. ”
……
I have to say that "Infernal Affairs" has indeed changed the model of the genre of disc war films, several men in one scene, there is no hot fight scene, and there is no love history and grievances between men and women and heroines, some are just real contests between men.
It can also be said that it is the success of "Infernal Affairs" that makes Xiangjiang Pictures Company gear up to do a big job.
There are also many filmmakers who are staring at Lin Chen, to see if Lin Chen can make "Infernal Affairs" a series of classic IPs.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is deeply rooted in the humanities, this is the Xiangjiang market after all, even if it is not the heyday of the movie, but the competition is still fierce.
With the success of the first "Infernal Affairs", there is no way to make "Infernal Affairs 2" sit back and relax.
The propaganda work still needs to be started.
Lin Chen asked Zhang Jin, who was in charge of special effects, to edit a shot clip, ready to be used for publicity.
Compared with the publicity points of Liang Qingda and Liu Tianwang in the first part, and the publicity points of the second part, Lin Chen is ready to put it on Ni Yongxiao played by Zhang Hongjing.
After all, the character of Ni Yongxiao has more excavation points.
Filming continues.
At the same time as the filming of "Infernal Affairs 2", Lin Chen also learned from Pan Bin that the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" bought by Universal Pictures was also being filmed.
Universal Pictures naturally went capricious this time, and the leading actors invited Hollywood superstars Leondo and Witt.
"Mr. Lin, it is indeed a wise move for us to exchange copyright for investment this time. ”
Pan Bin said: "With the joining of these two superstars, I estimate that the guaranteed copyright of "Infernal Affairs" should be about 200 million US dollars. ”
Zhang Hao was also a little excited: "In this way, even if we throw away the cost of the box office, we can get at least 20 million." ”
"By the way, Mr. Lin, there is another question for Universal Pictures?"
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chen asked Pan Bin, "How can I help them?"
Pan Bin said: "Mr. Lin, they want you to give "Infernal Affairs" a Mi Guo-style name, the movie is about to be completed, but the name has not yet been decided, they thought that you were the screenwriter, so they naturally wanted to ask you about this question." ”
Then Pan Bin brought over a piece of paper with a few names that Universal Pictures had thought of.
"Undercover", "Anti-Undercover", "Undercover" ......
Several names of Universal Pictures are related to undercover, and even Lin Chen can't help but want to complain when he hears the name undercover.
Rather than being undercover, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming are both walkers.
Walking on a path that does not belong to the two of them, one wants to be a good person, while the other wants to jump out of all circles and have a new life.
"The Departed!"
Lin Chen said: "I think it's called "The Departed"!"
Pan Bin nodded and said, ""The Departed", this name is really good, I will send it to Universal Pictures immediately." “
On the other hand, Zhang Jin's editing work has also been officially done.
I have to say that Zhang Jin's studio has had some negative slacking in the past year.
The recession of Xiangjiang Pictures has left their special effects department with little work to do, and some of them are from the list of chopsticks special effects in the mainland and some special effects in the mainland.
Xiangjiang's chopsticks special effects have been seriously unable to make ends meet.
This round of the Xiangjiang film crisis has caused many special effects companies in Xiangjiang to fall into the clouds, and many special effects personnel have changed careers.
Zhang Jin also proposed to Lin Chen more than once that he wanted to lay off employees. But it was all Lin Chen's otherwise.
After handing over the edited video to Lin Chen, Zhang Jin said again: "Mr. Lin, does the chopstick special effect really not consider layoffs? I think it's enough to keep half of the existing talents." ”
Zhang Jinneng took the initiative to propose layoffs, naturally he also wanted to reduce costs for Chopsticks Pictures.
But when it comes to layoffs, Lin Chen disagrees. Zhang's special effects department may soon be using.
And there may be a serious understaffing deficit.
"I don't think there's enough people right now. Not to mention layoffs. “
Lin Chen said: "Now it is not Xiangjiang's special effects talents, and many people are facing unemployment. ”
Lin Chen's words made Zhang Jin confused, but it is a fact that many special effects talents in Xiangjiang are unemployed.
Zhang Jin nodded.
"You go back and recruit me another batch of highly technical ones. “
Lin Chen said: "Remember, as long as the technology is strong, we will recruit as many as possible." ”
Recruiting people at this time is tantamount to picking up leaks.
Although Zhang Jin didn't understand Lin Chen's intentions, he still nodded.
The actors of the crew quickly ran in deeply, and Lin Chen also accelerated the progress of filming.
At the same time, the first short video of "Infernal Affairs 2" appeared on the Hong Kong Film Forum.
In the video, the five bosses are eating hot pot together, and the younger brothers outside are rubbing shoulders. The conversation apparently involved a fire and,
But with the phone calls of Ni Yongxiao played by Zhang Hongjing, these bosses finally gave in.
The video quickly caught Ma Zibo's attention.
As the management of the Xiangjiang Film Forum, with the popularity of "Infernal Affairs", the film forum has slowly become somewhat active.
Since this is about "Infernal Affairs 2" and short videos, Ma Zibo naturally wants to refine it.
"This Guo Haibin's eating appearance is still quite handsome. ”
"Thinking of the funny Jigong played by Zhang Hongjing, coupled with Zhang Hongjing's serious appearance, I really can't stand it. ”
Zhang Xiaolong actually joined "Infernal Affairs 2", I don't know if there are any scenes of fighting. ”
"Speaking of this paragraph alone, I think this is a movie that is not inferior to the first one. ”
……
After two months of filming, "Infernal Affairs" has finally come to an end.
Today's shooting is the final showdown, the shot of Ni Yongxiao's fall.
This is a rivalry directed by Guo Haibin, Wang Xuexue, Li Shan and Zhang Hongjing.
Zhang Hongjing pointed a gun at Han Chen's head.
Huang Kecheng, played by Wang Student, shouted loudly: "Ni Yongxiao put down the gun!"
Han Chen, played by Guo Haibin, said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "He has killed me before, let him kill me again!"
Lin Chen naturally wanted to shoot this kind of serious feeling.
"Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back!"
It can be said that Zhang Hongjing's acting skills are also very potential.
The part with lines is easy to shoot, and the most difficult thing to shoot in this section is the falling shot.
Because Ni Yongxiao inadvertently discovered the bugging device on Chen Yongren's body, he knew the fact that his younger brother was undercover.
But in order to protect his brother, he needs to make an extremely tangled and painful expression.
In the camera, Zhang Hongjing's acting skills are simply violent, not so much that the first part is a work that makes Liang Qingda a god, this one Lin Chen feels that Zhang Hongjing's eternal filial piety is the soul of the soul.
This section was filmed very quickly.
After this section of shooting was completed, there were only a few shots left, and Lin Chen was drawing the last few storyboards.
When the storyboard reached the last shot, Lin Chen was worried about this heroine.
It can be said that there are very few female characters in "Infernal Affairs", but even if there are few, a reasonable female character must be arranged.
Who should be used for this heroine who plays opposite Zhou Jiancheng? Lin Chen was a little difficult, and it was obviously difficult to drive in an ordinary group performance.
When Lin Chen was struggling for this role, he received a call from Feng Xue, Feng Xue came to Xiangjiang, Zhang Yina invited Lin Chen, and everyone sat down together.
This Li Shuai's half-sister has a high talent in acting, and Lin Chen is still deeply impressed by the Guo Xiang she plays.
Feng Xue and Zhang Yina are best friends, but after Zhang Yina became popular, Feng Xue, who played Guo Xiang, was a little tepid.
Feng Xue, who refused Lin Chen's contract, seems to be at the pinnacle of Guo Xiang's character.
You must know that Feng Xue's acting skills are completely explosive to Zhang Yina, and the two are not much different in appearance.
After the "Shooting the Condor" trilogy, Lin Chen didn't seem to have much news about Feng Xue.
Lin Chen was indeed a little curious. Feng Xue's recent situation.
These days of filming are indeed a little tiring, and there are only a few shots left, so Lin Chen is indeed ready to relax.
Go to the meeting alone in the evening.
"Director Lin!"
After seeing Lin Chen, Feng Xue greeted her, compared to Feng Xue's white appearance before, she is now more delicate.
Through chatting, Lin Chen also learned about Feng Xue's recent situation.
After refusing Lin Chen's contract, Feng Xue did set up her own studio.
However, there are not too many achievements in the works, Feng Xue has invested in the filming of several TV series, but the ratings are not satisfactory, and some are even sold to local stations at low prices.
Later, Feng Xue tried to produce variety shows again, but there were still not too many achievements in this variety show.
Feng Xue had no choice but to come to Xiangjiang to relax.
Zhang Yina comforted Feng Xue.
"Everything will turn around! Since you have come to Xiangjiang, you can relax for a few days. ”
Speaking of relaxation, Lin Chen suddenly thought of his role to let Zhang Yina come and visit.
Lin Chen briefly talked about the script.
"I'd love to make a cameo in this scene. “
Zhang Yina said: "But the filming on my side has also entered a critical period, I'll talk to the crew when I go back, I think the crew should be accommodating." “
Indeed, with Lin Chen's status and strength, if he really opens his mouth to 'Uniasia Entertainment'. The crew over there will definitely make concessions.
But this is just a shot, Lin Chen is determined that there is no need for this.
"Isn't Feng Xue here? In terms of acting skills, Feng Xue far surpasses mine. “
Zhang Yina said: "This one shot will make Feng Xue make a cameo." ”
Lin Chen consulted Feng Xue's opinion, and Feng Xue naturally agreed.
Speaking of entertainment programs just now, Lin Chen was a little curious about what kind of entertainment programs Feng Xue's studio held.
Feng Xue originally wanted to hold a singing talent show, but after investing more than 10 million yuan, she found that the water in the talent show was too deep, so she had to give up.
That's when I thought of coming to Xiangjiang to relax.
With Feng Xue's strength, it is indeed more than enough to run a singing talent show. And even if it does, it's one thing whether it can be broadcast in the end.
Compared with the singing talent show, Lin Chen has another idea.
"I think we can make a fitness program for the whole people. ”
Lin Chen said: "Compared with the singing talent show, this show is not difficult. ”
"It's too difficult, it's not as simple as you think, Director Lin!"
Feng Xue waved her hand and said, "I don't have such a good idea for the time being." ”
"I have!"
Lin Chen said: "I can plan this show with full authority, and you are responsible for implementing it." ”
Lin Chen's words made Feng Xue's eyes light up.
I have the impression that Lin Chen seems to have done a good job as a screenwriter and director, and he has some original songs of his own, but these don't seem to be linked to entertainment programs.
However, this still made Feng Xue regain hope.
Of course, Lin Chen didn't want to contribute his ideas in vain.
Lin Chen decided to set up a new joint venture with Feng Xue, and the two sides jointly invested in it, as for the proportion of capital, Lin Chen accounted for 51 percent, and Feng Xue accounted for 49 percent.
Feng Xue readily agreed to Lin Chen's suggestion.
As for the planning of the program, Lin Chen naturally needs to think long-term.
"Infernal Affairs 2" will soon be completed, and Lin Chen is ready to wait for this movie to be completed before starting to produce this national fitness program.
The filming of "Infernal Affairs" continues, and today's shot is the last shot.
This is the story of Liu Jianming and a police officer, Mary.
Mary climbed on the table, and Liu Jianming handed over a towel.
Lin Chen briefly told Zhou Jiancheng and Feng Xue about this rivalry.
Filming soon began.
Zhou Jiancheng, who was wearing a police uniform, appeared in the camera.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"I'm out of love!"
"My name is Mary!Mary!Mary!"
“M A R Y!”
When Feng Xue read these letters, Lin Chen said: "The No. 1 camera gives Zhou Jiancheng's eyes a close-up. ”
I have to say that Zhou Jiancheng also understands it, and his expression, action, and smiling eyes interpret what acting is.
After this period of footage, Lin Chen announced that "Infernal Affairs 2" was officially completed.
After Lin Qing announced the completion of the finale, Du Xiaoming asked beside him: "Director Lin, is there some superfluous action in this last shot?"
If Du Xiaoming didn't understand the last shot, others would probably be even more confused.
"Isn't Liu Jianming's girlfriend in "Infernal Affairs" Mary?"
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Du Xiaoming suddenly realized: "This is a before and after comparison." “
"But the shot just now, why did Zhou Jiancheng show so excitement?"
Lu Wei next to him said: "Because Liu Jianming's favorite Han Chen's girlfriend Mary died, this is the reason why Liu Jianming chased this girl, and this is also the reason why Liu Jianming is excited." “
After listening to Lu Wei's explanation, everyone understood the intention and depth of Lin Chen's lens.
