Chapter 223: Shooting in South Africa
Africa, South Africa.
At this time, it is almost May Day, and Labor Day is the day when labor should be done, and Li Mu's side is no exception, and the two crews are running slowly.
After several months of filming on the side of "Wolf Warrior", basically all the big scenes were filmed, and only some sporadic small-scale action scenes remained, and Li Mu left them to Wu Jin to handle it himself.
And he himself threw himself into another movie with all his heart, because of Nicholas Tse's matter, this movie without many scenes was not as good as the progress of "Wolf Warrior".
Since it is convenient to take care of the two crews, the filming locations are all placed together, and the distance is no more than a few hundred meters, after all, the actors of the two movies are similar.
Nicholas Tse also played a rich second generation in "Wolf Warrior", and Yu Nan, the heroine of "Wolf Warrior", also had to run at both ends.
In a desert on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa's legislative capital, two films are being filmed at the same time.
Li Mu chose South Africa as the filming location in dozens of African countries because South Africa is relatively stable, but no matter how stable it is, it is relative to the overall environment of Africa.
I think there was a local underworld when they first arrived... In fact, they have gone beyond the scope of the underworld, dozens of people with submachine guns to collect protection money, and some children with AKs, have you ever seen such an underworld!
However, Li Mu has the support of the military for this shooting, and those group performances are all real soldiers, and they also brought some real guys.
As soon as the neighborhood army came forward, as soon as the two sides confronted each other, they were intimidated, and when they saw such a neat and imposing regular army, they immediately surrendered, and no one came to harass them later.
However, when it comes to South Africa, Li Mu is a little speechless, at first he planned to film in the capital of South Africa, but when he inquired about it, there were three capitals in this country, one administrative capital, one legislative capital, and one judicial capital.
In the end, the legislative capital of Cape Town was chosen, which was the only city of the three capitals that Li Mu had ever heard of by name.
......
The studio has already been set up as a courtroom, and the actors who play the judges and the audience have also arrived, just waiting for Li Mu and them to start filming.
"All departments are ready, and the actors are in place!"
โavtion!โ
With Li Mu's order, the scene was suddenly silent, only the sound of the camera running slowly.
Zhou Li, a well-known barrister played by Yu Nan, is asking Lin Tai's driver.
"How many off-road vehicles does Lin Tai's family have?"
"Two!" Playing the driver Sun Wei is Ma Shaohua, who has worked with Li Mu for a long time.
"A BMW X5, a Porsche Cayenne!" Yu Nan asked in the face of Sun Wei's photo of each car in each hand, "Is there any difference in the sound of the engine when these two cars start?"
"As a fifteen-year-old driver, you can judge the brand of a car by the sound of the engine!"
"Click!"
Li Mu frowned behind the monitor and said loudly, "Yu Nan, when you say the next line, turn around in front of the audience first, and your expression should be with a little confidence and everything under control!"
"I'm sorry Director Li, I'm going to prepare!" Yu Nan didn't say anything, said sorry and opened the script and read it.
"All departments prepare, do it again!" Li Mu didn't blame her, she ran at both ends during this time, and it was inevitable that there would be times when she would forget.
......
"You know that the most important person in Lin Tai's life is his daughter, and letting his daughter go to prison is equivalent to killing him, so that you can relieve your hatred of taking your wife!"
The inquiry continued, and Yu Nan said loudly to him, "Is it not!"
Sun Wei seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, pointed in Lin Tai's direction, and shouted excitedly, "Yes, I just want to make him worse than dead!"
The camera gave Lin Tai, Lin Mengmeng, and Tong Tao a close-up one after another.
Pay attention to your eyes, Zhao Liying took back your tears. Lu Yi, you closed your eyes and lowered your head slightly, in addition to anger, you lowered your head to hide your guilt!"
...
Because most of the scenes in this drama are concentrated in the courtroom, it is very rare to shoot all of them in the order of the movie, which has the advantage of allowing the actors to quickly integrate into the Taoist role, not only speeding up the progress, but also everyone's performance is becoming more and more natural, and the number of ng is getting less and less.
However, Li Mu's requirements are getting higher and higher, after all, this movie is to help Lu Yi impact the actor, and the performances of the three protagonists are becoming more and more demanding, and he will stop if he is a little dissatisfied.
"Click!"
"Lu Yi, you are slow, you have to attack before Mr. Ma finishes the last line, and show the anger in your heart!"
"Alright, pick up the props, and have another one!"
With tears in his eyes, Sun Wei confessed his crime, "Yes, I killed Yang Dan!"
"Bastard!"
This time, Lu Yi was just right, and before Sun Wei could finish speaking, he got up angrily and threw the Buddha bead in his hand at him.
However, Li Mu was still not satisfied, "Click!"
"The expression is too much, Sun Wei is here to take the blame, so I have foreseen this scene for a long time, you have to perform a feeling of acting, but you can't let people see through it so easily, and you have to reveal a sense of cunning and hypocrisy!"
"One more!"
......
"Okay, it's over!" It took six shots in a row to meet Li Mu's requirements, and when he was about to announce the next one, someone next to him spoke.
"That's... Director Li, the Buddha beads were not broken!"
Li Mu hurriedly looked over, and the string of Buddhas was still neatly strung together, and they did not fall apart, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
......
โa๏ผโ
As the filming continued, Tong Tao received an anonymous email containing a video clearly showing Lin Tai driving his car into Li Dan and slamming her head into a nail behind the wall.
But the video was automatically deleted after watching, and the most important evidence was lost, Tong Tao had no other way but to try Lin Tai with the radical method.
"You are alone in charge of a company of 2,000 people, with a net worth of more than 2 billion, you can be called a successful man!"
"Click!"
As soon as Nicholas Tse finished speaking a line, he was stopped by Li Mu.
"Nicholas Tse, you are agitating, your tone should be a little arrogant, don't face Lu Yi, leaning sideways and supporting the platform in front of him with one hand. โ
Nicholas Tse started again, "How long have you known the victim Yang Dan?"
Lu Yi clasped his hands together and nodded, looking very calm, "Four years!"
"Do you love her?"
"Love!"
"Does she love you?"
"Love!"
"So what do you think of the scandal and hype that came out of Yang Dan a few days before the case!"
"Dozens of online media outlets reported on this incident at the same time, and there are detailed videos!"
"What the hell are you trying to ask me?" Lin Tai was a little impatient.
Tong Tao said, "What do you think of Yang Dan's scandal?"
Lin Tai did not answer his question and wanted the presiding judge to protest.
The presiding judge reminded Tong Tao to pay attention to his words, but Lin Tai could not refuse to ask.
Tong Tao put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile, "May I ask Boss Lin." Why should you bear the burden of humiliation in the face of such insults?"
"According to what you said, although Pan Jinlian seduced Ximen Qing, it doesn't mean that he betrayed Wu Dalang!"
"Two days before the crime, why did she give herself to a man who had neither money nor power and was married?"
Lin Tai was furious and stretched out his finger to warn Tong Tao not to continue the topic.
