Chapter Seventy-Six: Attention-grabbing
The bright moon is hanging high, it is late at night, but the surroundings of Tengfei Building are brightly lit and lively. Wang Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the crowd of people downstairs, and smiled at Chen Yongren: "It's the first time I've seen so many people chasing after the movie before it was finished!" ”。
Wang Yu came here to participate in the performance, making a cameo role as an investigator for Taiwan's Security Service. When Chen Yongren heard the former's words, he smiled and said: "Where are these people coming to watch the movie, just to see the excitement!" ”。
Cai Songlin laughed and said: "Feng doesn't care what they do, it's a good thing that they have attention before the movie is released, and it saves Brother Chen from taking the initiative to publicize it yourself!" ”。
Wang Yu also quipped: "I heard that the scene here was amazing last night, and you and the teacher made a big noise!" ”。
"Yes!"; Cai Songlin interjected: "I was having dinner this morning, and my second brother broke into my house in a rage and cried to me that you made a mess of his place and went out...... Good guys, the whole Taipei is full of news about you and Senior Zhang making movies, I heard that tonight's action is only big compared to yesterday, I don't plan to sleep, I must see ......".
Chen Yongren smiled bitterly, "I mentioned to Brother Cai, we will compensate for all the losses of Tengfei Building!" ”。
Cai Songlin pretended to be angry, "Brother Chen's words are too foreign, am I, Cai Songlin, the kind of mercenary person?" I'm here tonight, like the people downstairs, to see the play; Anyway, this building is still being renovated, but it's just a matter of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Brother Chen doesn't need to worry! ”。
"Damn...... I thought you'd be generous enough to say that you don't need to compensate; There's no need to rush...... I'm not in a hurry, since you said you're not in a hurry, you'll drag it out first! Chen Yongren said secretly in his heart.
Chen Yongren did not continue the topic, but instead asked, "How is the matter with Brother Cai?" ”。
Cai Songlin said with a smile: "Brother Chen, don't worry, when it arrives at twelve o'clock, the power will be cut off in this area on time, but it will only be ...... for half a minute."
"Half a minute is enough!"; Chen Yongren looked at his watch and said to the two: "I won't accompany the two brothers, the work is about to start!" ”。
Wang Yu and Cai Songlin went downstairs, and Chen Yongren picked up the walkie-talkie and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to command......
"Senior brother, you start filming Senior Brother Wang Yu first, he just went downstairs to ......."
"Received ......".
"Deputy Director Wang, what's going on with the helicopter?"
"Upstairs across from the Ascendas Building, ready to ......."
"Listen carefully, two hours later, at twelve o'clock, there will be a power outage in this area for half a minute, and you prepare for aerial photography in advance, taking a panoramic view of the blackout process, and a panorama of the explosion six hours later......
It's bustling downstairs right now, and it's a rare opportunity, so if you're ready, take off now, take a few wide-angle top-down shots, and then come to the roof to help me shoot ......."
"Received ......".
"On the top floor, where are the photographers and the lead actors?".
"Director, Brother Hugh and I are both ......," Huang Yuetai's voice came.
"What about the demolition team and the props team?".
"Ready ......".
"I'll go over right away,......" Chen Yongren pressed the elevator.
"Received ......".
……
Chen Yongren was busy working inside the building, and the outside of the building was also very lively, with more crowds gathered than last night, and reporters were the same, and even several Hong Kong media made a special trip to interview the crew, but they didn't expect that from the time they got off the plane until now, they didn't even see Chen Yongren's face, and the answer to ask the rest of the crew was one word - "busy......".
In desperation, they had to honestly stay in the area designated for them by the crew of "Die Hard" to carry out some small-scale "work"; At first, there were a few dishonest people, but they were all thrown out of the cordon, and after throwing a few, the rest of the people were honest.
There is no way, Chen Yongren's face can't be seen, and he can't find someone who can reason; They thought that even if they met Chen Yongren, the latter would probably push it all away, saying that they didn't know.
Who can be seen...... Wu Yulin, executive director, is also very busy, and has no time to take care of a group of them; Zhang Che, forget it, the old-timers are highly respected, and they can't afford to mess with them.
There was also a lot of noise outside the cordon......
"Didn't you say there was a good show? I've been waiting for two hours, why haven't I seen it? ”。
"You don't understand this, the movie is composed of many shots, and people may already be filming now, but we are too far away to see it!"
"Can't see? So what are you doing here? ”。
"Wait to see a good show!".
"Can't you see it?"
"What I can't see are small scenes, and I'm waiting to see the big scenes......."
"Is there really anything else tonight?"
"100 percent, you didn't see that the fire truck and the ambulance were parked over there; It's just to prevent accidents from happening, and there is no big scene ...... fire trucks won't come."
The man observed for a while, and sure enough, he saw several emergency vehicles, turned his head and exclaimed: "Brother is really well-informed, and his analysis is clear and thorough!" ”。
"I won the prize, mainly because my neighbor is from the fire brigade, and he told me about the ...... of this matter."
"Uh...... Hey...... There was a helicopter flying ......".
……
On the top floor of the Tengfei Building, Chen Yongren checked the preparations and began the filming work.
Of course, the scene where the protagonist jumps off the building is not to ask Li Xiuxian to wait until the explosion to really jump off the building before starting to shoot, but to shoot many sets of separate shots, which can become a coherent picture through post-editing and synthesis.
The person who jumped off the building was not Li Xiuxian himself, but a very professional stunt double, what Li Xiuxian needed to do was to complete the frontal shot, and other aspects needed to be completed by a stunt double.
After calling a helicopter, Wang Jing sat in it with a camera in his arms, and waved to Chen Yongren excitedly; Chen Yongren ignored it......
"Prepare to shoot ......".
First of all, it was a close-up shot of Lee Xiuxian pulling the fire hose, and there was no difficulty, and NG passed smoothly.
Then there is the jump, not at the edge of the building, but on a higher platform on the top floor of the building, and then when it really explodes, the stand-in will perform a "solitaire" and really jump.
Li Xiuxian has already completely entered the state under the guidance of Chen Yongren and Wu Yulin in the past month, as a "lonely hero", the whole movie is basically "him" at home, not only for the character's personality in place, but also for the action style in the whole movie, and the cooperation with Chen Yongren is becoming more and more tacit.
In front of the camera, Li Xiuxian stood on a high platform, and after a simple monologue, he jumped off the stage, Chen Yongren pinched the right time and pressed the switch of the explosion point device in his hand, there is only one explosion point, specially prepared for the protagonist to jump off the building, and the real explosion needs to be completed separately.
This shot did not pass, not a problem of people, but a problem of the explosion device, and the fire of the explosion was not perfectly reflected in the lens; There is no way to control this, and the effect of the explosion point device cannot be fully grasped, so you can only try a few more times.
The crowd downstairs has been paying attention to the movement of the building, and someone has noticed the movement on the top floor of the building, but what they saw was only a small fire that had been extinguished two or three times, and they couldn't help but be disappointed......
"Damn...... Don't tell me that the so-called big scene is for me to watch people light a few matches? ”。
"A little patient, we didn't know last night, it was late at night, and I waited here for nearly two hours to see that kind ......of situation, I heard that the movie was very stuck, and it is estimated that tonight is almost that point, and now it is just a small fight."
"It only exploded at one o'clock last night?".
"I started waiting at one o'clock, and it exploded at almost three o'clock!".
"Damn...... Doesn't that mean there are four or five hours left? ”。
"Perhaps......".
"Then why are you here so early?".
"I'm worried that if these filmmakers don't follow the routine, if they suddenly decide to shoot in advance, won't I be able to see it?"
"Is it different when the movie comes out?"
"Of course it's different, anyone can watch the movie when it comes out, but now only a few people can watch ......."
"What's the difference?".
"This can be used to brag about ......".
The people around the "......" were collectively speechless, although they also had the same purpose......
