Chapter 214: Infernal Affairs, Start Shooting!

Wei Qianxiang saw that Chen Ge was a little distracted, and he was not in a hurry, he smiled slightly, and signaled He Man behind him to be a little restless.

"Infernal Affairs" is a movie that Chen Ge has always wanted to make.

Among commercial films, Chen Ge's favorite movies are only two, one "The True Color of Heroes" and the other "Infernal Affairs", both of which can be called the pinnacle of commercial films, and their respective achievements are extremely dazzling, both at the box office and word of mouth, they are at the top level in their previous lives.

"Infernal Affairs" has been nominated for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Film Song, Best Actor, and even won the Top 100 Film Award in the Top 100 Film Selection a few years later. In that year, "Infernal Affairs" was released in Hong Kong for two weeks, and the box office exceeded 30 million, and finally "Infernal Affairs" became the box office champion of Hong Kong films in 2002 with a box office score of 55.05 million Hong Kong dollars.

Another classic commercial film "The True Color of Heroes" created the classic character Xiao Ma, which made the black trench coat popular for a time and became a phenomenal film. This "True Colors of Heroes" is not only a turning point in Woo's life, but also a milestone in Hong Kong cinema. This is a film that has never been seen before in Hong Kong, and the man in the film has gone through hardships, but never gives up the pursuit of "righteousness, status, and dignity". Wu Yumao is full of pride, and the frustration and revenge that have accumulated for a long time in the film industry are soaked in every movie picture, and the smooth editing like a song is impeccable. Among the classic Xiangjiang films of the year, "The True Color of Heroes" is a dazzling pearl in the dazzling golden age of movies, with a romantic base color between the dark gangster themes, and Wu Yutong's violent aesthetics have created a pinnacle of competition for dominance.

Before "The True Colors of Heroes", that Fa Ge was box office poison, but as soon as "The True Colors of Heroes" came out, Fa Ge became the god of acting a few years later.

The box office of the hero's true colors in the previous life in 86 years was 34.65 million, which directly broke the box office record of Xiangjiang at that time, which is the greatest affirmation of the hero's true colors film.

The reason why Chen Ge chose "Infernal Affairs" instead of "The True Color of Heroes" is not because he thinks "Infernal Affairs" is better, but because he loves the role of Brother Xiao Ma too much, so he hopes that the role of Brother Xiao Ma will be filmed completely by himself, and he doesn't want other people to participate in it.

Chen Ge raised his head and said to Wei Qianxiang, "I agree." ”

Fifty percent of the profits, Chen Ge doesn't care, the important thing is that He Man, a famous director of commercial films, is a character he needs very much.

Wei Qianxiang smiled and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation." ”

······

······

"What?!" Shi Zhimin looked at Chen Ge, "You want to make the next movie?!" ”

Chen Ge said: "Yes, help me arrange it, I am going to the mainland to shoot during this time." ”

"Why don't you discuss this matter with me beforehand." Shi Zhimin asked angrily.

Chen Ge knew that he was at fault in this matter, looking at Shi Zhimin with a haggard face, Chen Ge knew that she was very fortunate that she was busy with her evil and poisonous rotary bed during this time.

Chen Ge stretched out his hand and gently put it on Shi Zhimin's shoulder, "Sister Min, don't worry, what I want to shoot this time is a commercial film, and the box office will definitely be very good." ”

When Chen Ge's hand was on Shi Zhimin's shoulder, Shi Zhimin's body trembled, and finally said: "Okay, I just hope that you will tell me in advance if you have this situation in the future, and this is also the last time I will remind you, because you are walking too fast, really too fast." ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Min."

Shi Zhimin turned his face and said, "No need to say thank you, I'm a little tired, I'll help you with your affairs, I'll go first." ”

"Hmm."

Because Chen Ge has a super memory of his previous life, many preparations before filming don't take that long at all, but there is some trouble in inviting actors, especially the king... Liu Dehua.

After all, Chen Ge's qualifications are too shallow, and he can't help but be a little unaware of the depth of the sky when he invites Liu Dehua, so in the end, the burden of inviting Liu Dehua fell on the assistant director He Man.

He Man asked to read the script of Chen Ge's "Infernal Affairs", but Chen Ge told him that he would write the movie "Infernal Affairs" while filming, He Man just pouted, but did not speak, anyway, the young master asked him to make the movie this time, and the quality of the movie has nothing to do with him.

He Man's signboard is really useful in the circle, and news soon came from Liu Dehua's side that he was willing to participate in "Infernal Affairs".

In this way, "East Evil and West Poison" was still in full swing of publicity, and an explosive news bombed out without warning.

Chen Ge will make a new film "Infernal Affairs", He Man is the assistant director of Chen Ge, and Liu Dehua is one of the leading actors.

A king, a famous director of commercial films, and a rookie in the entertainment industry who is riddled with topics, as soon as such news came out, it quickly occupied the headlines and ranked first on the thousand-degree hot search.

The filming of "Infernal Affairs" began abruptly but quickly.

Directed by Chen Ge, starring He Man, deputy director He Man, Chen Ge and Liu Dehua.

Infernal Affairs.

······

······

The filming site of the drama "Infernal Affairs".

The scene being filmed now is the scene where the undercover policeman played by Chen Ge is misunderstood by the real police and pursues him with all his might.

Because it was Wei Qianxiang, a big tyrant, who invested, Chen Ge arranged for five cars to collide in one go, and then Chen Ge rushed out of the flames.

This kind of scene is quite difficult for Chen Ge, who has never filmed an action scene, especially the scene of the flying car, which will be very difficult to film, after all, he is not an action star.

Originally, He Man took into account Chen Ge's ability and deliberately proposed to let a stand-in appear in this scene, but Chen Ge thought for a long time and said: "No need, there will be no shortage of such scenes in the future, let's do it!" ”

He Man hesitated, to be honest, after a period of getting along, He Man only had four words left for Chen Ge's evaluation, he really didn't want Chen Ge to risk his life.

But He Man knew more about Chen Ge's character, and knew that once Chen Ge decided something, the eight horses would not be able to pull it back, so he no longer persuaded him, but he was a little drumming in his heart.

Liu Dehua was also a little worried on the side, at the beginning, Liu Dehua was still unimpressed with Chen Ge who was playing against him, but after filming for a while, Liu Dehua found that Chen Ge was not timid when he was playing against him, and there was no jerky in the emotional scene, Liu Dehua couldn't help but be jealous and admired for Chen Ge's talent.

At the beginning of the shooting, the camera first stretched the road to make the camera feel more intense, and then a car flew out of the cargo box and crashed into an oncoming taxi.

At the intersection, three cameras shot in succession.

Three other cars rushed from three sides of the intersection.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!!

Three successive impacts, flames burst into the sky!

The scorching sensation made both He Man and the photographer feel their cheeks burn.

At this time, Chen Ge stepped on the accelerator in the built-in camera, and rushed out from the other side with a bang, first knocking over a series of railings on the side of the road, and then forcing a truck carrying mineral water buckets to stop.

"Shoot faster and pay attention to the rhythm...... Yes, yes, yes, grasp the sense of the lens! He Man nervously dispatched on the side.

In the camera, the character played by Chen Ge hit the steering wheel, and then saw the car slip, and then rushed to the sea of fire!

The fire was raging, crackling and burning, in order to create such a huge atmosphere, Chen Ge also deliberately asked people to add combustibles such as cotton wool to make the fire stronger.

At this moment, the fire is like a wild dragon, with teeth and claws.

In the sea of fire, Chen Ge gritted his teeth, endured the scorching heat and stuffiness, and stepped on the accelerator sharply.

Bang!

A burning car tire gurgled and rolled far away......

He Man, Liu Dehua and others looked at this picture nervously, and said in their hearts, is it ...... Something went wrong?!

Before they could figure it out, they heard a snort, and Chen Ge's car finally rushed out of the flames.

Call! Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Damn tires, I don't know where they came from, they're scared to death!

Everyone complained.

The effect of filming this scene is absolutely first-class, even Chen Ge himself was amazed when he saw it, I couldn't imagine that I was able to shoot such a hot shot.

The assistant examined Chen Ge's body, and Chen Ge covered his face with a wet towel, and the burning sensation on his face was reduced.

He Man and Andy Lau came over, patted Chen Ge on the shoulder and said, "It seems that Lu Liang is right, you have talent and hard work, not just a pampered star!" ”

remembered that he had argued with Wei Qianxiang about filming, thinking that Chen Ge was too young and immature, and the scene he filmed was definitely a bad movie, He Man felt a little embarrassed when he watched Chen Ge again.

Where did Chen Ge know the hidden reason, seeing He Man praising himself so sincerely, he smiled and said: "If I want to do it, I will definitely do the best!" ”

Those who can say such things will surely achieve great things in the future. He Man thought.

The next thing to shoot is a short emotional scene, and it is Chen Ge's old acquaintance - Concubine Liu who is playing with Chen Ge!

Chen Ge has always felt that Concubine Liu is a naughty and mischievous lady, but this time during the filming of "Infernal Affairs", Lu Liang recommended Concubine Liu to himself, and Chen Ge tried to use it before he realized that Concubine Liu's acting skills were not covered, and she looked like an old drama bone.

For example, in this scene, Concubine Liu plays Chen Ge's ex-girlfriend, and the two met by chance on the street, with four pairs of eyes, and then began to exchange lines.

Chen Ge: "I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Concubine Liu: "Well, it's been a long time. ”

Chen Ge: "Are you okay?" ”

Concubine Liu: "Make a living." “

Chen Ge was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry! ”

Concubine Liu: "Why do you want to say I'm sorry?" ”

Chen Ge: "This apology should have been said three years ago, but I ...... at that time No courage. ”

Concubine Liu: "What now?" Don't you think it's too late? ”

Chen Ge: "......"

Silent.

It can be said that this whole scene is basically the two of them acting with their words and expressions.

The man must show inner guilt, and the woman must show that he is strong on the surface and fragile on the inside, which can be said to have high requirements for the acting skills of the actors.

Originally, Chen Ge had already made up his mind to waste negatives a few more times, and he also wanted to shoot this relationship scene well.

Chen Ge has enough confidence in his acting skills, and he now has his own unique understanding of acting, so this kind of emotional drama is not stunned.

What Chen Ge didn't expect was that Concubine Liu had passed this time once!

He Man admired the demon on the side, but not to Concubine Liu, but to Chen Ge.

Because Concubine Liu was born in a professional class after all, He Man knows Concubine Liu's background, but Chen Ge is a wild man who is a halfway monk, and the emotional drama between the two is so well matched!

The shooting was over, and everyone rested.

"Amazing! You did a great job! Chen Ge smelled the fragrance on Concubine Liu's body, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "I really can't see it, hehe, you are quite successful in playing this role!" ”

"That's also if the script is well written, and the director you can direct it well!" Concubine Liu seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness with Chen Ge at the beginning, and said playfully.

Beer, beverages, fresh juices.

Chen Ge, He Man and others drank various things while discussing the plot of the play "Infernal Affairs".

Concubine Liu was busy pouring wine, wiping the table, and wiping sweat, he didn't understand why he had become an errand waiter, serving these guys.

During the discussion, Chen Ge suddenly mentioned the movie topic of "undercover". Liu Dehua and others spoke enthusiastically, and everyone said that this theme will definitely become popular because of "Infernal Affairs", and then Xiangjiang may follow the trend to shoot a series of movies.

Chen Ge nodded, this was also very helpless. In the previous life, the wave of zombie films began because of "Uncle Zombie", the wave of martial arts films began because of "Undefeated in the East", and the wave of nonsense began because of "Love Saint", it can be said that the entire history of the development of Xiangjiang films is a series of film following history. Often when a drama becomes popular, people will squeeze their scalps to move closer to this drama, regardless of whether the audience is tired of it or not, and wants to make money at the box office.

Now, "Infernal Affairs" is still filming, but Liu Dehua and they have already anticipated the situation that will occur in the future, and there is no way to do it.

Pinched a grape and threw it in his mouth, Chen Ge asked the big guy: "Since you guessed that there would be a follow-up, is there any good way to prevent it?" ”

Liu Dehua shook his head, "This can't be prevented, you are not the king of the film industry, you can't control the entire market, even if it is the leader above!" ”

"Yes," He Man said, "the Xiangjiang market is too zìyóu, too economical, and it's useless for you to resist." ”

Chen Ge listened to everyone talking, but the smile on his face grew, and he coughed and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we follow the trend or not, as long as we take this kind of theme to the extreme······ How does the following of others affect us? ”

"Do your best?!" He Man was shocked by Chen Ge's ambitions.

Chen Ge continued: "Just like the "Spy Eagle" of Birch Boy back then, it was the emperor's work, and no one has been able to surpass it until now, and when it comes to works of the same type, the spy eagle must be mentioned. ”

Liu Dehua laughed.

"Spy Eagle" is Liu Dehua's proud work, so he is full of joy at this time. (To be continued.) )
