After the celebration banquet, the news that Wang Zheng was about to start filming a new drama was put in the newspaper by the Xiangjiang media, but the expectations of major newspapers and weekly magazines for this drama were not high.

China Entertainment Weekly: "Best Director Wang Zheng, United Down-and-Out Director Wu Yusen, Shaw Brothers Unambitious Xiaosheng Dillon, Box Office Poison Zhou Runfa, New Actors Lan Jieying and Li Zixiong starring in the Shaw Brothers new drama is about to start filming, the star lineup in the film is only Zhang Guorong, such a starring lineup is really not in line with director Wang Zheng's current status, I don't know what Shaw Brothers thinks, what the final quality of the film is, there is no way to know." ”

After reading the script and cast, Shao Tycoon also had some questions, and suggested that Wang Zheng replace Dillon with Wan Ziliang, a popular student of Shaw Brothers, now Wan Ziliang is a popular artist in Shaw Brothers Pictures, and the tycoon's suggestion is also for the sake of the movie, but Wang Zheng refused, Dillon is an indispensable actor in "The True Color of Heroes", no one can replace him, out of trust in Wang Zheng, the tycoon did not force it in the end.

With Shao Tycoon's nod and agreement, the opening ceremony of "The True Color of Heroes" was finally held in Shaw Cinema in Clear Water Bay, and dozens of paparazzi from newspapers and magazines came on the day of the event.

"Director Wang, let Fa Ge, who is known as a box office poison, star in this new drama, will you worry about the final box office results of this drama?"

The reporter's straightforward question made Zhou Yanfa's face very ugly, and it was not good to have a seizure at the moment of the opening ceremony press conference, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart, and Wang Zheng beside him smiled slightly at the reporter who asked the question: "This reporter friend should go back to make up for his film knowledge, who said that the dismal box office of a movie is the reason for the actors? The box office results are not ideal, that is the reason for the movie itself, what does it have to do with the actors? I am very optimistic about Fa Ge's acting skills, and I have never worried about the box office." ”

The paparazzi were taught a lesson by Wang Zheng, and they deliberately distorted the facts: "Then according to Director Wang's meaning, the dismal box office of the movie starring Fa Ge is the reason for the director and screenwriter?"

Wang Zheng replied lightly: "This is your personal understanding, I have never said such a thing, if this reporter continues to distort the facts, I don't mind asking the security guard to ask you out." ”

Seeing Wang Zheng's warning, the paparazzi gave up, with this episode, the questions of the reporters were much softer, and occasionally some sharp questions were asked to Wu Yusen and Dillon, but they were also blocked by Wang Zheng to avoid the embarrassment of several people, which made several people a lot easier.

Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is like this, when the reputation is strong, a group of paparazzi worship the master, and when it comes to downfall, the paparazzi will deliberately provoke the artist to get negative news, several people see these very thoroughly, after the reporter interviewed, he returned to the set and waited for the start of work, and he just wanted to work hard to shoot this drama to prove himself, so that these paparazzi could experience what it means to look down on people.

When Wang Zheng returned to the set, he saw that Wu Yusen, Dillon, and Zhou Yunfa were ready, and they knew that they were all holding their breath in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to prove that they were not box office poison, outdated actors and down-and-out directors, Wang Zheng didn't talk nonsense, after the worship ceremony, when he was about to shoot the start-up ceremony as a feature film, Wu Yusen had something to discuss.

"Ah Zheng, this is Pan Hengsheng, the cameraman who came out with me from Xinyi City, Ah Sheng has been with me for several years, he is a good movie cameraman, he will be one of the camera directors of our play, and I will have to rely on you to help me in the future!"

Wu Yusen introduced the person next to him to Wang Zheng, who looked at this person a few times when he heard this, the man in his thirties was not tall, Wang Zheng had no impression, and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Pan Hengsheng, Pan Hengsheng..."

When Wang Zheng beckoned everyone to prepare to turn on the camera, he muttered the name of the cameraman in his mouth, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly turned back to the new cameraman who followed behind him and said, "Pan Hengsheng, your name is Pan Hengsheng?"

Wu Yusen and Pan Hengsheng, who were following behind Wang Zheng, were startled by Wang Zheng's sudden turn, Pan Hengsheng didn't know why Wang Zheng asked his name repeatedly, Nuo Nuo replied: "My name is Pan Hengsheng, Director Wang, do you know me?"

At this time, Wang Zheng had calmed down, and replied with a haha: "I don't know, it's just that you have the same name as me at the same table in elementary school, so I asked." ”

"Well, that's a coincidence. ”

Pan Hengsheng did not doubt it, and picked up the camera and prepared to start filming the first shot of "The True Color of Heroes".

Wang Zheng was very pleasantly surprised at this time, but he didn't expect Pan Hengsheng, one of the top camera directors in Xiangjiang, to join his crew, and he couldn't remember his name when he first heard his name, just because Pan Hengsheng was too low-key after becoming famous in his previous life, so that many people didn't know him, Wang Zheng also knew that there was such a camera director because he had watched "Journey to the West" many times, and the movies he shot were really much more famous than himself.

Later classic films such as "Sword and Horse", "The True Color of Heroes", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Across the Seas", "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu" and other classic films are all from the hands of this unattractive cameraman.

According to the trajectory of later generations, Pan Hengsheng would go to Treasure Island with Wu Yusen, and finally joined the film studio opened by Xu Ke with Wu Yusen, and did not become famous until he participated in the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" in 86.

Wang Zheng didn't expect him to come to Shaw Brothers with Wu Yusen, it was really unexpected, with Pan Hengsheng joining, Wang Zheng has greater confidence in the drama "The True Color of Heroes".

In a large warehouse in the Shaw Brothers studio, the first shot of the movie is being prepared, the props team has spent a lot of effort to meet Wang Zheng's requirements, a computer in the warehouse is surrounded by a lot of people, computer engineers are editing the picture Wang Zheng needs, in the computer screen, a 100 dollar number is slowly converted into numbered numbers by rendering technology, which is quite magical in 84 years when the computer is still a strange thing, Shaw Brothers specially invited the most superb computer engineers, but fortunately it is 84 years, if in the morning a few years, such technology has not yet appeared。

In order to shoot this set of shots, the props team rented several large inkjet printers to make dollars, although they could not print out dollars, but the production process used to shoot dollars was still very suitable, in order to get closer to the facts, the props team also specially visited the banknote factory in Hong Kong.

With all the props ready, the first shot officially begins.

Dillon and Zhou Yanfa came in windbreakers and sunglasses.

In later countries such as Xiangjiang, Baodao, and Bangguo, because of the style of Dillon and Zhou Yanfa in "The True Color of Heroes", the windbreakers and sunglasses in these regions were sold out of stock, which shows how classic this dress was at that time.

The whole shot is filming the production process of US dollars, and the two leading actors do not have many scenes, among which the scene of Xiao Ma burning US dollars and lighting cigarettes was reshot by Wang Zheng several times, until Wu Yusen and Pan Hengsheng both felt good, Wang Zheng was satisfied, it is really too classic this shot and needs to be carefully considered.
