Chapter 268: Filming Begins!
On November 11, Singles' Day, the opening ceremony of "Eavesdropping" was held in Hong Kong.
Because the film involves the most "secret" Intelligence Bureau (CIB) in the Hong Kong police system, the main creators are tight-lipped about the content of the film. It's just that the characteristics of the respective characters are introduced.
Zhuang Wenqiang took the lead in praising the actors, meaning that Shen Lian and Gu Tianle are both out-and-out handsome guys, Liu Qingyun does not evaluate his face, and his acting skills are definitely good.
Er Dongsheng humorously said that it is definitely not easy to configure such a lineup, the movie is mainly a group play, but this wave of actors has not acted in a group play for a long time, and most of them are the lives of the leading actors.
When the reporter asked how the cast was decided, Er Dongsheng said that the first person to be persuaded was Liu Qingyun, Er Dongsheng said that his role is the clue and soul of the whole film, but after reading the script, Liu Qingyun has a lot of questions. Then I just talked to him desperately. Knowing that Liu Qingyun had a good relationship with Gu Tianle, he sued him, and Gu Tianle had already agreed to act, so these two people were decided.
Shen Lian and Er Dongsheng have cooperated for the third time, and Er Dongsheng said that Shen Lian is easier to talk about, and it will be decided when he comes out for dinner, and there is still a lot of room for this role to play.
Today is the first day of filming, and the first shot will start at nightfall.
In the glory days of Hong Kong movies in the past, some directors even didn't write storyboards at all, and they didn't have any scripts, just planned what they would shoot the next day. Now this kind of thing is basically eliminated, but the temporal rhythm of Hong Kong film shooting is relatively good, and the first scene after the start of filming is the tense and fruitful eavesdropping battle at the beginning of the filming - Liang Junyi played by Liu Qingyun, Yang Zhen played by Louis Koo, and Lin Yixiang played by Shen Lian came to the building to install eavesdropping equipment, and Luo Yaoming played by Li Zixiong returned halfway, so one side was in the light and the other was in the dark, and a secret contest was launched.
This shot requires a full sense of rhythm, to express the tense and meticulous atmosphere, and also to show the tip of the iceberg of those bizarre and powerful eavesdropping equipment. In the whole movie of "Eavesdropping", the opening paragraph is a more commercial film atmosphere, which makes people feel a sense of tension and oppression that is connected to the blood of the characters in the play.
"Prepare for shooting!" The two who directed this film are Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, Zhuang Wenqiang is better at screenwriting, but his achievements in directing may not be as good as Mak Zhaohui, so the two are golden partners who can complement each other. Now, the main person in charge of this story is Mak Zhaohui, and Zhuang Wenqiang is in charge of some specific things on the side.
The filming venue was quickly busy, and after Mak Zhaohui gave instructions to prepare for filming, everyone began to prepare for their duties, and the three leading actors were also nervously making final preparations.
The various departments responsible for the filming of this film can be regarded as the old team of Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, and many steps have a certain tacit understanding.
The first shot was filmed quickly, and there was no NG, which was a good start for the crew. Without making too many stops, the shooting of the second shot soon began.
Several actors played well, and after staying up for hours all night, they finally finished filming the footage written on the schedule.
It was already twelve o'clock in the evening after the completion of today's plan, and everyone returned to their respective quarters, because they were all tired, so the group quickly fell asleep.
At nine o'clock the next morning, everyone came to the roof of the building and began to shoot a scene of the day, which was a scene of Liu Qingyun, Shen Lian, and Gu Tianle showing their deep brotherhood on the roof.
Shen Lian, who was dressed in chic and handsome, took the lead in the camera and took out a prop cigarette. Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle also entered the country one after another. They each smoked cigarettes.
"Borrow a fire." Liu Qingyun said meaningfully to Gu Tianle. In the previous action, he saw Yang Zhen played by Louis Koo take a lighter.
Pretending to be very innocent, Louis Koo handed over his lighter.
"Not this." was slightly dissatisfied with the other party's deliberate concealment, Liu Qingyun undoubtedly showed the character's unfamiliar character: "It's that." The one you took across from Fenghua. ”
Although there are no lines, Shen Lian's expression at this time is still in place. There was already a bit of gunpowder between Yang Zhen and Liang Junyi at this time. Shen Lian, who played the younger brother, looked a little worried.
“CUT。 Pass. "This scene was NG twice and then officially passed guò for the third time.
After taking a sip of water and calming down a bit, the group returned to their places.
"What, dare to admit it?"
Facing one of the bosses, Yang Zhen directly took out the lighter from his trouser pocket and directly opened the mystery of the lighter. There is also a bugging device inside the lighter, "The lighter surnamed Luo did it. It's been bugged. I'd like to take it to an electronics expert to look it up. Look at what channel is used, maybe there are clues. ”
"yes, you can also check his receiving station. Look at who's playing tricks," Shen Lian agreed.
"Do you know how big the atmospheric waves are? By the time you find out, the judge will have already closed the case. Gu Tianle suddenly raised his voice, and he gave a completely negative answer to this little brother's unreliable mention.
“CUT。 Gu Zai, Shen Lian, both of you have a bit of a problem just now. Mak Zhaohui called Shen Lian and Gu Tianle to the monitor and began to point out the problems of the two.
In fact, Shen Lian doesn't know the bottom line of CIB's way of doing things, but simply based on the lines, so the handling of the tone is not sure enough. And Louis Koo also has his own problems.
The scenes on the rooftop were filmed for a whole day, and when it got dark, the trio moved on to the interior. started to play against Chen Weiting, Lu Shiyun, Lin Jiahua, Fang Zhongxin and others, it can be described as very hard, and there is no way that the production cycle of Hong Kong films is so extreme. And because Shen Lian has the publicity task of "Witness" next, his shooting task is arranged very tightly.
"Xiaoxiang, what is he doing in Fenghua?" Mary, played by Lu Shiyun, asked.
"Check the equipment." Eating a bite of pizza, he replied nonchalantly. The clerks of the Commercial Crime Bureau are indeed a bit of a straw bag, and the people of the CIB essentially look down on each other's abilities in their hearts.
"Check what?"
"Generally speaking, bugging devices emit electrical noise. Electrical noise is an electronic signal that can be detected. However, we have jammers on our machines. Even if the other party counters eavesdropping, they won't find out. However, the jammer itself will emit noise, and these noises will affect the reception of the instrument's information in turn. Shen Lian said a lot of professional terms, and he had memorized this paragraph for a long time.
“CUT。 Pass. Mai Zhaohui didn't say much, and motioned for Shen Lian and Lu Shiyun to take a little rest.
