Chapter 192: Happy Set (I)
The filming of the next sequel story not only has the full cooperation of all the martial artists in the family class, but also the full support of Golden Harvest, plus Fang Yihua's intention to hand over the command to Wang Zheng alone, except for the stunt action shooting designed by Chen Long, the plot is advancing particularly quickly.
With the appearance of Chen Huimin, who plays the role of the gang boss Ou Xinhu, Lin Wei, the master and pirate of the third ring of the town, and the police officer Ho Ka Jin, the scene shooting came to the highlight, the birthday party of the Hong Kong Governor's daughter Wang Ku Xian.
In order to make the scene closer to the Governor's residence, the crew spared no expense and spent a lot of money to charter the entire European-style Regal Hotel as a place for the Governor's Mansion to hold a birthday party.
The birthday party scene not only gathered all the leading actors in the play, but also many foreign actors played tricks for the protagonists, Wang Zheng liked to see this, and invited the British actor George, who had a collaboration in "Crazy Stone", to play the role of the governor of Hong Kong.
In the Regal Hotel in Dadong, all the actors put on tuxedos, European-style long skirts, or military uniforms, and after many rehearsals, under the "action" of director of photography Pan Hengsheng, the scene officially began to record.
"I'm dressed like this, so don't go. β
Coming to the door of the Regal Hotel, Liu Jialing looked at the Hanfu on her body and looked a little hesitant.
"What are you afraid of, I have clothes for you to change. β
Zhang Manyu pulled Liu Jialing, who was hesitant, into the hotel, and met Mars in a black tuxedo at the door, and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, it's Mr. B!"
"Poof. β
Seeing this scene, Wang Zheng, who was also wearing a blue tuxedo behind the camera, couldn't hold back and chuckled. Pan Hengsheng and Chen Long looked at each other with puzzled expressions, not understanding what was so funny about this.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go on. β
This stalk is not popular in Xiangjiang today, and it is not interesting to laugh alone, so Wang Zheng hurriedly beckoned to continue filming.
Mars led Zhang Liu Ernu into the hotel, handed the invitation to Chenlong, who was guarding the door of the hall, and whispered in his ear: "The invitation, one person." β
Chen Long nodded lightly, smiled at Zhang Manyu, and said, "This invitation is only for you." β
When Zhang Manyu heard this, he hurriedly begged: "My cousin wants to accompany me, is it okay?"
Facing the pitiful Zhang Manyu, Chen Long hurriedly said: "Of course you can, I'll just ask casually." β
"Shanshan!"
"Hi, Shanshan, you're finally here!"
Just when Zhang Liu's second daughter breathed a sigh of relief, the second floor of the hotel sounded the shout of Yingying Yanyan, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Guxian, who played the daughter of the governor of Hong Kong, and several close friends in her boudoir, waving to the two.
Although Wang Guxian is a typical oriental beauty, after wearing a white European-style dress, the aristocratic atmosphere is also on her face.
"Why are you here so late, come upstairs with me to change clothes!"
Seeing Zhang Liu's second daughter, Wang Guxian was very happy, and took the hands of the two and went straight to the second floor.
"Hey. Zhang Manyu, who was about to go upstairs, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Chenlong and the others with an arrogant face: "This gentleman said, my cousin didn't have an invitation, so she won't let her in." β
Seeing that the cousin of his good classmate Zhang Manyu seemed to be snubbed, Wang Guxian asked Xiang Chenlong and the others: "Who are you?"
Chen Long and the others looked embarrassed, and Mars replied respectfully: "We are the police, responsible for tonight's security!"
Seeing that the two were deflated, Zhang Manyu gloated, and Wang Guxian continued to ask, "What's your name?"
Seeing that Miss Qianjin's tone was not good, Mars hurriedly showed Chen Long behind him and introduced: "His name is Ma Rulong." β
Wang Guxian said to Chenlong at this time: "Ma Rulong, I forgot to give my good friend an invitation, is it okay to be accommodating?"
"Absolutely!"
Chen Long looked embarrassed, and nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Thank you!"
After getting the consent, Wang Guxian led Zhang Liu's second daughter straight to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Thank you, Sergeant Ma!"
Liu Jialing smiled back at Chenlong before going upstairs, and it was also the first time she showed a smile in the play, which was really like a smile.
When the three girls disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Chenlong glared fiercely at Mars, who pushed himself as a shield, and the latter looked at his nose and nose and heart, with a look that I couldn't see.
"Ka, Brother Long, your eyes are too ambiguous, do it again, haha. β
As soon as the camera ended, Wang Zheng started Chenlong's joke, except for Wang Guxian's Cantonese dialogue is not very standard, the other parts of this scene are full of joy, if it weren't for many rehearsals, several protagonists may have been unable to help laughing.
Hearing that Wang Zheng was going to come again, Chen Long said with a bitter face: "Ah Zheng, isn't it, my face is going to be numb, come back." β
Although the scene just now was only a few minutes, it had already made the crew toss for a long time, Chen Long had to keep an embarrassing smile throughout the whole process, and he had to cooperate with the three girls not to laugh, and the muscles on his face had already been numb with laughter.
Seeing Chenlong's painful look, Wang Zheng pouted and smiled: "I'm kidding you, that's over, I really don't know how to be blessed, if there are three beauties playing with me, I won't feel tired even if I shoot for a day." β
As soon as Wang Zheng spoke, standing behind him, Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a floor-length skirt with half-exposed breasts and full of sexiness, was not happy, and his jade fingers had already put on the tender meat on his waist, and asked softly: "Zheng, what did you say?"
Without waiting for Chen Long to show a gloating expression, Wang Zheng reacted very quickly and said haha, and loudly greeted Pan Hengsheng, who was fiddling with the camera: "Master Pan, let's discuss the next shooting, I am going to use a long lens to shoot the next scene." β
"After a while, the music starts, and the crane camera starts with a panorama, and then there is a close-up of each protagonist, and it doesn't end until all the dialogue is finished..."
Seeing Wang Zhengzhen and Pan Hengsheng talking about work, Guan Zhilin did not continue to investigate.
It wasn't until Guan Zhilin went to the hairstylist to fiddle with his hair that Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Pan Hengsheng on the opposite side smiled and said, "Director Wang, Miss Guan has already left, do you still need to use a long lens for the next shooting?"
"Of course, I've been designing this lens for a long time. β
Seeing that Wang Zheng was not joking, Pan Hengsheng hesitated: "The difficulty of the long shot is not small, if there is a mistake, the whole process must be reshot." β
Wang Zheng smiled faintly: "If you want to get a high box office, what is the difficulty, you have to meet me a few years earlier, and you will definitely be one of the cameramen chasing sandstorms in the desert." β
Pan Hengsheng smiled bitterly, compared with the deadly filming technique of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", this difficulty is indeed nothing, and he didn't say more, and began to guide the actors to wait for the move.
βactionγ β
After many rehearsals by the actors, the shooting of the long shot officially began, and Wang Zheng also starred in this scene, and the on-site command was temporarily handed over to the camera director Pan Hengsheng.
Wan Tianqing, played by Wang Zheng, was able to attend the birthday party because of Zhen Sanhuan's personal invitation, mainly to steal the diamond necklace in the governor's room and blame Ma Rulong, so that Zhen Sanhuan could return to the helm of Xihuan.
As the Western band in the hotel lobby began to play, all the performers stepped onto the dance floor, and the crane camera slowly descended over the crowd, and the camera first came to the sky above Governor George and his daughter Wang Ku Yin.
"Daddy, are you having fun tonight?"
Under the camera, Wang Ku-yin is wearing a white European-style dress, holding the hand of Governor George on the dance floor, like a white butterfly fluttering.
"Happy, you're so beautiful today, of course I'm happy!"
"Then you don't even look at me. β
Although George was talking to Wang Guxian, his eyes kept staying on Guan Zhilin not far away.
"Where do you live?"
The swingarm camera advances, and the camera comes to Zhang Manyu and Lin Wei, who plays the third ring of the town.
"Gorfo Street. β
"There are a lot of bad people in Xiangjiang, you have to be careful. β
Zhang Manyu said innocently: "There are so few good people in Xiangjiang, it is really a blessing for me to know you." β
Lin Wei smiled and asked, "I wonder if I can invite you out for tea?"
"Sir, did you eat onions just now?"
Zhang Manyu's tone was still so innocent, but what he said was embarrassing.
The crane camera continued to advance, stopping in the sky above Wang Zheng and Guan Zhilin.
Looking at Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a wig in front of him, Wang Zheng tried his best to hold back a smile, and said seriously: "Wait a minute, when you see me leaving the hall, you and Qiu Ling will find a way to go up to the second floor to distract the guards." β
The serious Wang Zheng almost made Guan Zhilin laugh, and with the dance steps, she held back a smile and said, "Don't worry, we will meet the opportunity to act." β
Pan Hengsheng behind the camera saw the "amateur" performance of the two, and hurriedly turned the rocker camera to the sky above Liu Jialing and Dong Bi, who played Uncle Bi, so that he didn't make this long shot.
"As the director of justice, don't you think that the security in Xiangjiang is very bad?"
As an old drama bone, Dong Bi has a lot of aura, and he smiled lightly: "Really, I don't think so!"
Liu Jialing continued to ask, "Then what do you usually do?"
Dong Bi replied with a smile: "Most of the time I drink coffee in the office. β
"If the Xiangjiang police are as conscientious as you say, why do there be robberies every day? β
As a revolutionary party, Liu Jialing obviously does not believe Dong Bi's official tone.
As the rhythm of the music became more soothing, the crowd on the dance floor began to exchange dance partners.
The Governor's office, across from his daughter's room. β
I almost laughed just now, this conversation Wang Zheng was a lot more serious, he nodded to his new dance partner Liu Jialing, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I'll go up from outside, and you will answer me on it in a while." β
After speaking, taking advantage of the fact that everyone on the dance floor was not paying attention, she quietly left the hall and walked outside the hotel, and when Wang Zheng left, Liu Jialing returned to the bedroom on the second floor with Wang Guxian and Zhang Manyu on the grounds that her clothes were torn.
"I usually like to buy things and watch big plays, and when I have free time, I paint at home. β
Hong Kong Governor George got his wish and Guan Zhilin danced, listened to her preferences, and hurriedly said: "Painting, I also like to appreciate painting!"
Seeing that Wang Zheng and Liu Jialing had left one after another, Guan Zhilin said to George: "Why no one exchanges dance partners with us." β
George asked awkwardly, "Don't you like dancing with me?"
Guan Zhilin explained with a smile: "How come, it's just that I want to go to the bathroom." β
After listening to Guan Zhilin's explanation, George smiled and said, "So that's the case, I'll take you there." β
As several protagonists use various methods to ascend to the second floor, the long shot also comes to an end, and finally slowly comes to the door of the hall, giving the door a left and right like a door god Chenlong and Mars, and it ends after a 3-second close-up.
The use of long shots of nearly five minutes before and after is the first shooting technique in the history of Hong Kong film, and the effect will not be seen until the later stage.
