With the attention that "Infernal Affairs" is now in Hong Kong, if the opening ceremony is held, it will definitely be crowded with reporters. And now that the movie hasn't been shot yet, no matter how lively the hype is, it's useless. In order to film quietly, Chen Tiandu simply gave up the start-up press conference and started the film secretly.

However, the party that night was still known to reporters and surrounded the Four Seasons Hotel. Led by Chen Tiandu, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Li Ming, Zeng Jiang, Huang Qiusheng, Wu Zhenyu, Chen Huilin, Liu Jialing and others, as well as mainland actors represented by "Daoye" Chen Daoming, Sun Honglei and Huang Bo also did not shoot first, and were dug up by many media.

Filming in Hong Kong, if there is no local producer to guide you, it will be really unaccustomed. Although Chen Tiandu brought a ticket of his own, most of the staff still used local materials. For example, there will be a red envelope on the day of start-up, and there will be a bonus for each person every day after that. Money may not be much, but it is indispensable. This is the habit of Hong Kong filmmakers who have achieved it for so many years, encouraging employees to be motivated, and if someone is lazy and delays the work of the crew, then everyone's bonus will be canceled.

Grigg and the others knew this rule for the first time, and they were surprised when they took the red envelope, but don't say it, this is really a good way.

This drama is very well prepared, everyone thinks that they know enough about the movie, and they don't think that Chen Tiandu brought people from Hollywood with great fanfare, "Filming is not like that, can Hollywood people have three heads and six arms." It's better to use Hong Kong people, it's cheap enough. ”

But on the first day of filming, everyone was shocked.

It was not Chen Tiandu who was in the limelight, but makeup artist Grig Canon.

Chen Tiandu integrated three "Infernal Affairs", and he started filming when he was a teenager. Then he didn't find another young actor to play himself and Andy Lau, so he only relied on makeup skills. In the future time and space that Chen Tiandu knows, Grieg Canon won the Oscar with his amazing makeup special effects technology in "Changing the Old and Returning the Young", which also shocked the entire makeup industry - this is also where Chen Tian's confidence lies in not looking for a young actor.

For Andy Lau, the biggest problem is to be young enough. Chen Tiandu, on the other hand, must be mature enough in makeup when he grows up.

I got up at five o'clock in the morning and started to put on makeup, and it didn't end until nine o'clock, just when everyone arrived, and then there was an exclamation. What is a blockbuster, this is a blockbuster!

"Andy, you are at least twenty years younger, you are really rejuvenated." Li Ming was also quite surprised. Even Li Ming made a joke, Andy Lau was surprised, still didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "Are you kidding, is it so exaggerated." Liang Jiahui also said: "Don't believe it, just find a photo of you at the age of eighteen and take a look at it." ”

Because Grieg didn't let them look in the mirror when he was wearing makeup, and now he can't wait to find a mirror. Andy Lau was dumbfounded, touched his green face, and was stunned, "Is this Hollywood's makeup technology?" ”

Chen Tiandu nodded in agreement on the side: "Even in Hollywood, it is absolutely top-notch." ”

"Thank you, in Chinese terms, it's finally up to the task," Grieg shrugged and pretended to be cool.

Chen Tiandu smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then keep up the good work." I have a hunch that as long as you keep up this technique, our film will win an Oscar for Best Makeup Effect. ”

"Wow~" Grieg was a little wistful, "I hope your prediction comes true." ”

Now everyone finally understands why Chen Tiandu brought a ghost makeup artist over, the whole movie has this god makeup, as long as the audience sees Andy Lau's suddenly younger face, it is already a complete surprise. Not to mention that the age span is more than ten years, if it is all this magical makeup effect, the audience will be worth the ticket price just by looking at the makeup.

Thinking about it, Chen Tiandu also brought his own photographer, as well as the fashion designer Li Bijun, who is also the best in Hong Kong, and the art director is also Hong Kong gold medal Ye Jintian, so the behind-the-scenes lineup is simply jaw-dropping. It seems that this movie is indeed going to make a big deal, and everyone suddenly feels full of energy.

The scenes filmed on the first day are the scenes inside the police academy.

According to the tradition, after worshipping the camera, all the people who should have come came, Lin Jianyue and Han Sanpin also met for the first time, and they shook hands with each other. In the past two years, not to mention the largest investment in Hong Kong and even the whole mainland, but the absolute most sensational movie is finally about to start, and almost all the media in Asia are vying to report it, and the paparazzi in Hong Kong want to get in to get some actual material, but there is no way to get in.

Chen Tiandu held a loudspeaker and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, whether you can get ahead in the Hong Kong police community depends on you this time." All units pay attention, do the final inspection, and prepare to turn on after ten minutes. Brother Hua and Aiman come over for a moment. ”

Andy Lau and photographer Aiman, who were making final preparations, walked over, and Chen Tiandu instructed: "Brother Hua, the camera starts with a close-up of your face for a while, you had better think of a habitual facial expression action, but there is one thing to warn you, don't grin, it will look very awkward." Aiman, the camera zooms out from near to far, from point to surface, enveloping the entire classroom, you know? ”

“I－got－it。” Aiman made an OK gesture, and Andy Lau also nodded, a little in a trance, as if he was considering which habitual facial expression to use, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Chen Tiandu patted him on the shoulder, "Relax, Brother Hua, take out your best state and strive for the camera once." Although he is calling an idol who grew up watching his movies, a top king in Asia, he is still upright and has no sense of disobedience. And after two years of tempering, his directing momentum has become a must, and he has always been the same in his crew.

He didn't care too much about the two of them, and after putting them down, he walked towards the lights, props, recordings and others. "The clock on the wall turned and stopped at the hour of 9:59:50. Aiman, add a camera to shoot the clock on the wall. …… The lights need to be a little brighter, remember, this is a police academy, there must be sunshine, green trees, grass, my lens has to be fresh and bright. …… All the actors immediately took their seats, sat down at their desks, did not move my desk, saw if their desks were aligned, and adjusted themselves. ”

Once he enters the filming state, Chen Tiandu at this time is the soul of the crew and a well-deserved first talker. Usually, even if you drink, fight, chat, and tell meat jokes with him, these impressions must be discarded now, because he is now a director!

Huang Qiusheng, Liang Jiahui and others saw that pointing out the country and making it so natural to call a character like Andy Lau was so natural, they were all in a trance, and they seemed to see two people when they got along recently. Then it suddenly dawned on me that this is in line with reality - a world-renowned new star director.

"The lights are in place!"

"Props in place!"

"Photography in place!"

……

Andy Lau, who was sitting on the desk, made an expression of high and low eyebrows, and pinched his chin with one hand on the desk, Chen Tiandu thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and said: "Brother Hua, don't prop yourself on the table, you are a policeman now, just sit upright and sit upright." The facial expression is not bad, and the high and low eyebrows are as natural as possible. ”

“OK。” Andy Lau lowered his arms and sat up straight.

As soon as he was ready, Kong Yiji looked at Chen Tiandu, Chen Tiandu sat behind the monitor and waved his hand, Kong Yiji held the baffle and pointed it at the camera, shouting: "Ready, Action!" ”

The whole crew suddenly quieted down, everyone watched the performance in the field, and Li Ming, Sun Honglei, Huang Bo and others, who had no role on the sidelines, also watched the scene intently.
