Chapter 19: Bad Luck
Li Xiuping agreed to Gao Gaoshan's request, and the next morning, he sent a text message to Jiang Shuying, to the effect that he was a new director, had seen Jiang Shuying's previous works, admired her very much, and hoped to cooperate.
Until the evening, Jiang Shuying did not reply to Li Xiuping's message, and Li Xiuping didn't care, although he very much hoped that Jiang Shuying could play "Crime in the Heart", but he also understood that he, an unknown director, had no attraction to Jiang Shuying, so the possibility of this thing being successful was very small, and Li Xiuping looked at it with the mentality that it was a good thing to be successful, and it was okay if it couldn't be done.
However, Li Xiuping doesn't care whether Jiang Shuying can play or not, but he can't keep letting the role of "Chen Xi" drag on, so he decided to send a message to Jiang Shuying for five consecutive days, one a day, five days later, no matter whether Jiang Shuying agrees or not, Li Xiuping will no longer send messages to Jiang Shuying, if Jiang Shuying returns to China, let her play, if Jiang Shuying does not return to China, then find another actress to play, anyway, there are all types of actresses in HD.
On the third day, Li Xiuping sent another message to Jiang Shuying, to the effect that he was filming a crime suspense reasoning drama, and there was a character in it that was very in line with Jiang Shuying's temperament and image, Li Xiuping expected Jiang Shuying to play this role, hoping that she could think about it, but this time Jiang Shuying still did not reply to the message.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Li Xiuping sent another text message to Jiang Shuying, to the effect that now the domestic flowers are rising in a blowout, the sooner they return to China, the sooner they film, the better the timing of the rise, but Jiang Shuying still did not reply to the message.
Li Xiuping didn't care about Jiang Shuying's reaction, he was in a good mood today, Li Yifeng finally overcame his mental obstacles the day before yesterday and faced the camera bravely and confidently, although acting is still jerky, but he is at least improving. As for Wang Longzheng, Li Xiuping is even more satisfied, Wang Longzheng's acting is very natural, he has a strong driving role on the set, and the supporting actors follow him to act, and the effect is very good, so the filming progress is getting faster and faster like a rocket taking off, and it will soon reach the climax of the first case.
There is going to be an action scene this morning, Tai Wei played by Wang Longzheng is chasing down the first perverted strong @ traitor in this play, for this scene, Li Xiuping has thought about it for a long time and prepared a lot, and the martial arts instructor of the crew has also put forward a lot of opinions, Li Xiuping hopes to shoot the fast-paced feeling of "Spy Shadow", which will make the audience's eyes shine.
In addition, he negotiated with the village committee of the filming location a week ago, and finally sponsored 20,000 yuan to the primary school in the village, which won the support of the village committee.
"Road closures" are to reduce the occurrence of accidents, and many directors like to place them in the normal downtown area when filming action scenes or chase scenes, so as to capture the unknown changes in the expressions of passers-by, which is more realistic. If Li Xiuping has money and time, he also hopes to shoot more realistically, but he has no time and no money, so he can only invite group actors to play passers-by, so as to reduce the occurrence of accidents as much as possible and save money and time.
Since the passers-by were fake, Li Xiuping thought of some other ways to enhance the realism of the shooting. For example, Li Xiuping and the martial arts instructor placed some obstacles on the way Tai Wei pursued, including clothes drying in mid-air, bicycles placed in alleys, and roadside stalls around the corner, all of which would be used by criminals. In addition, Tai Wei has to dodge some unexpected dangers, such as a sudden car, a young mother pushing a stroller, and a misunderstood patrolman. In short, this scene should not only be filmed with feeling, but also highlight Tai Wei's bravery and kindness, although he is short-tempered and unhygienic, he loves to be majestic, but he can desperately pursue criminals, and he will also help vulnerable young mothers along the way, he is a real hot-blooded policeman.
The first time he filmed a real action scene, Li Xiuping was very excited, he got up earlier today than before, and after a hasty breakfast, he rushed to a small village called "Xinjian Village" on the outskirts of HD City, and then repeatedly deduced the steps of shooting with the photographer's martial arts instructor.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Longzheng and other crew members rushed to Xinjian Village, and then the martial arts instructor led Wang Longzheng and the actor who played the criminal to rehearse the chase process, rehearsed three times, when the sun rose high, the sun shone, the breeze blew, and the birds sang, Li Xiuping finally decided to shoot officially.
"Lao Wang, play well, strive for a pass. β
Although the "road closure" is coordinated by the village committee, it can't be closed for a few hours, after all, the villagers still have to live, and the people don't get any benefits, so why should they take a detour?
"Got it. Wang Longzheng glanced at Li Xiuping and said lightly.
Wang Lung is wearing a white vest with a denim jacket on his upper body, light blue jeans on his lower body, and black Gaobang military boots on his feet. Wang Longzheng is very satisfied with his own clothes, not satisfied with the stylist making his face oily, and his hair is the same as a chicken nest, but Tai Wei's character is like this, and he can't help it, but for Li Xiuping, Wang Longzheng still doesn't have a good face, he feels that after filming this drama, maybe he will really miss out on idols in the future, Li Xiuping is responsible.
Li Xiuping knew Wang Longzheng's thoughts, so he naturally didn't care, smiled and made a gesture to several cameramen, and then looked at the scene.
The scene note jumped out, "The first shot in the eighth scene." β
Li Xiuping then shouted, "Begin." β
The actor who played the criminal then ran up, and Wang Longzheng followed in hot pursuit, "criminal" Very cunning, at first it was to drill into a crowded place, and then saw that he couldn't get rid of Tai Wei, so he rushed into the labyrinthine alley, but Tai Wei as the captain of the criminal police, his physical fitness was off the charts, and the criminal still couldn't get rid of it, so he angrily pushed down the bicycle on the side of the road, the tricycle of the small vendor, and finally he found that he still couldn't get rid of Tai Wei, so he grabbed the stroller in frenzy, he pushed the stroller to the middle of the road, Tai Wei hurriedly rescued the baby, at this time the young mother screamed loudly, the patrol police came to misunderstand Tai Wei, Tai Wei didn't have time to explain, pushed away the patrol police, continued the pursuit, this time he finally caught the criminalγ
The first time he filmed the criminal, he stopped before he finished the scheduled route, he ran too hard, he actually fell, and the second time he filmed the criminal, he ran quickly and steadily, but he did not show the panic of escaping, Li Xiuping was not satisfied, he told the actor who played the criminal, he must look back more, surprised and frightened eyes.
In the third shooting, the criminal and Wang Lung were running very well, and his expression was in place, he ran down the two sides very smoothly, just when Li Xiuping was about to clench his fists and shout, Wang Lung who was running was crooked and fell to the ground.
Li Xiuping and the martial arts instructor hurriedly ran over, but saw Wang Lung holding his right foot and gritting his teeth to inhale cold air, the martial arts instructor took off Wang Longzheng's military boots, and found that Wang Longzheng's right ankle was swollen, "My foot is broken, I have to rest for at least a week." β
Li Xiuping smiled bitterly and shook his head, and arranged for someone to send Wang Longzheng to the hospital for a check-up.
Wang Longzheng can't shoot anymore, all the scenes about Tai Wei will not be filmed until a week later, Li Xiuping has to announce that the scene in the morning is over, and it will be filmed again in the afternoon.
Li Xiuping instructed his assistant to clean up the mess, and he quickly found a quiet place to modify the next shooting plan.
In this way, the crew of "Crime in the Heart" began to shoot Fang Mu, but Li Yifeng is not Tai Wei after all, he NG three or four times more times than Wang Longzheng, and the other supporting actors are not driven by Wang Longzheng, and their performances are also in a state of flux, so the filming speed slowed down again.
On the second day of Wang Longzheng's foot, Li Xiuping sent a message to Jiang Shuying on the fourth day, Li Xiuping tragically found that he had a fever, fatigue, headache, and didn't want to move anything, MMP, in order to save money, Li Xiuping did not recruit an assistant director, so the crew could not shoot without him, and Li Xiuping had to announce that he would rest today.
Li Xiuping took the medicine, and he felt better the next day and was going to continue shooting, but a camera broke down during the morning shooting, and he was going to shoot the exterior in the afternoon, but the weather forecast said that the weather was sunny, no wind and no rain, but it suddenly rained heavily during the shooting, and the crew stopped filming again.
Li Xiuping's high fever was not completely cured, this rain recurred at night, and the next day the whole person wilted again, and the crew had to take another day off.
"Brother Li, what's wrong, what is Jiang Shuying's attitude?"
"Mr. Gao, she doesn't pay attention to me at all, and I can't help it," Li Xiuping said.
"Brother Li, are you sick?"
"Well, I have a fever. β
"That's right, Brother Li, then you can have a good rest. β
"Good. β
"Brother Li, if you can fight for Jiang Shuying, you still have to fight for it, her father said that if she is willing to come back, she will immediately invest in your filming of "Crime in the Heart", at least two million. β
Li Xiuping thought that HD Mountain was going to hang up the phone, but he didn't expect such a sentence, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and his mind was lively. Li Xiuping originally planned to complete the filming part of "Crime in the Heart" in two months, but the shooting efficiency of these few days is low, and he is likely to not be able to shoot well in two months, and every extra day will be an extra-budgetary expense, not only time, but also money, Li Xiuping lacks the most money. Jiang Shuying's family is willing to invest, that's really a send-off! So Li Xiuping thought about it and replied, "I'll do my best." β
