Chapter 184: Prison Break (2)

"Andy, you have to pay attention to your expression, as well as the eyes, now Andy is taking advantage of the stormy night to escape from the prison, everything he has done for twenty years is for this opportunity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the only opportunity, if he doesn't succeed, he will completely fail, so he must race against time, calm and nervous, anxious, he looks at the air is waiting for the lightning to pass and knock on the pipe at the same time as the thunder sounds, because this will not be known by the prison guards, Now there is no lightning or thunder in your sky, but you have to imagine that there are lightning and thunder, and that the present clear night is a night of thunderstorms.

Your attention now has to be like Andy in the play to focus all your attention on smashing the pipe, when the thunder has sounded once, you will lift the stone and prepare for the second thunder to smash down, you must pay attention to your expression and eyes, and show an anxious, nervous and calm look. Are you ready, ready to go. ”

Lin Feihong's words made Liu Dehua deeply moved, he nodded deeply, and turned back to signal that Lin Hui could start. Lin Hui didn't have this right, he looked at Lin Feihong, Lin Feihong nodded knowingly, and said 'action' The crew continued to start filming.

After being reminded by Lin Feihong, Andy Lau's expression was in place, and the beads of sweat on his face were also dripping out of nervousness, his movements were more in place, lifting the stone, staring anxiously at the air, smashing it into the pipe after a few seconds, and then lifting the stone again, his nervous and anxious eyes were cast into the air again, and he smashed it down a few seconds later.

After smashing the fourth blow, Andy Lau made another action to hide his face and retreat, and Lin Feihong shouted to stop, which had been designed before, and he did this action four times. Four times is enough, and it has already shown the look of Andy escaping from prison, and the pipe burst when he smashed this last time, and this will add a special effect to splash out of the pipe later, and now just do a move.

"Very good, this time it's much better than just now, the expressions are in place, it's good, call it a day!"

When Lin Feihong finished the last sentence, the tension in the crew suddenly eased a lot, just now everyone was staring at Andy Lau's performance, looking at Lin Feihong's serious and serious face, it is difficult for people who want to make the atmosphere more relaxed. This can pull up the nerves of those active people, and the most active is Wang Baoqiang.

"It's time to say something." Wang Baoqiang ran to Lin Feihong and asked Lin Feihong with a smile.

"What does that mean?" Lin Feihong turned off the screen and stood up, and glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who was smiling in hippie, suspiciously, and definitely didn't have any good intentions when he saw the look of these two goods.

"We're filming so late, shouldn't the big director invite everyone to supper? You say don't you? Wang Baoqiang said half a sentence to Lin Feihong and shouted to the other crew members, it was difficult to think about it now.

Several crew members next to him echoed Wang Baoqiang's response, especially the few people who were more active just now.

Wang Baoqiang was confident that Lin Feihong was determined, he knew that it was difficult for so many people to respond to Lin Feihong's uninvited, so he didn't continue to pursue this question, but asked another question: "Feihong, now you want to shoot Andy escaping in the sewer, do you want to cut the pipe at night now, do you want to notify the residents to turn off the valves first." ”

These two goods just sounded uncomfortable, Lin Feihong ignored him, and turned around to find Leslie Cheung to discuss the next filming matters.

Wang Baoqiang said hello to Andy Lau who came and ran to him and said to Andy Lau: "Andy, you have a scene of climbing the sewer next, the sewer is so dirty and smelly, do you want to find a stand-in." ”

Andy Lau glanced at Wang Baoqiang and said, "Do you want to replace you?" said that he didn't continue to deal with Wang Baoqiang, finding someone to be a stand-in is not something an actor like him does, either don't act, or act by himself, this is Andy Lau's most basic requirement as an actor.

Supper still has to be invited, the location is in the hotel, it is very convenient, you can sleep directly in the hotel after eating supper, do whatever you like, in addition to drinking, and other illegal things, anyway, this hotel was contracted by Qihong Film and Television, and now this hotel is the world of the entire crew.

After a simple supper, Lin Feihong, Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Xu Zhen, Ah Long, A Xing, Li Lianjie, Wang Baoqiang and others gathered in the tea tasting area of the hotel garden to drink tea.

"According to the current filming progress, it is estimated that the filming will be completed in a few days, alas, it is not long to say that it is not long, it is not short to say that it is not short, from June 28th to September 6th, it has been more than two months of filming, this time flies really fast, it seems that I haven't met Wang Rong a few times in these two months, it seems that there are only two at most, I remember the last time I went to see her, her belly was already slightly bulging, and there was a more obvious feeling."

Lin Feihong was drinking tea, but his eyes were floating into the night sky, and the thoughts in his eyes were very strong.

Leslie Cheung knew that Lin Feihong missed Wang Rong very much, he was busy filming and couldn't get away from meeting Wang Rong, and now they haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and they haven't seen each other for half a month, and it is inevitable to miss him, especially for the newlywed groom who is about to become a father. Since he was released from prison, Lin Feihong and Wang Rong have been together for a few days Lin Feihong began to plan and shoot "Paradise Cinema", and later because he couldn't find the filming location, he began to prepare for the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption", which is currently being filmed, it can be said that he has been busy along the way, and even took the time to watch Wang Rong after 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the next day he had to return to the hotel early to meet with the crew members to start a new day's shooting, and sometimes he had to consider arranging the next day's shooting plan at night, so there was not much time at night.

Maybe that's the life of a director.

There is no way to comfort you by missing this kind of thing, this is Leslie Cheung's idea, Lin Feihong misses his newlywed wife This is a natural thing, this is the natural reaction of flesh and blood people's hearts, outsiders can't interfere, they can only rely on Lin Feihong himself to slowly resolve it, so he didn't say more useless comforting clichés, it's too fake, it's better to shift his attention to other things.

"Feihong, now Andy's prison escape process is just a process of climbing the sewer and not filmed, now do you want to shoot this sewer or replace it with another method?"

Lin Feihong came back to his senses from his thoughts, glanced at Leslie Cheung, and said: "It would be best if you could really shoot it, but I don't think there is any need for that, the audience uses sight and feeling to watch the movie, and there is no sense of smell, they can't smell what kind of smell is in the movie, they can only feel the taste through vision, so we just need to make an appearance, arrange the scene dirty, but it doesn't have to be smelly, as long as it is dirty, the audience will feel the smell, as long as the audience can feel the smell, our goal will be achieved, If the goal can be achieved, why not use it if there is a better way.

If we really use sewer to shoot, then we are probably the stupidest crew in the world, and I am the stupidest director in the world, because no one will really do this kind of thing.

We only need to choose a long pipe diameter as the shooting scene, pour some black dirty water inside, and arrange dirty spots around it, such as a few waste plastic bags, bottles and cans, etc., so that the audience will definitely think that it is a dirty sewer after seeing it. ”

Lin Feihong's words were the most satisfying to Andy Lau's ears, and it was a fortunate thing that he could avoid some unnecessary suffering as a party concerned, so he was the first to agree with Lin Feihong's point of view.

"I think Feihong's idea is very good, the audience can't smell what the scenes in the movie are like, they can only rely on feelings, and the audience watches the movie to see the overall effect of the whole movie, as long as the plot is reasonable and the connection is appropriate, the audience will generally not be disgusted, and they will not know the filming process of a movie, even if they know, know that some shots are made by special effects, but they don't care too much about how this thing is, how fake it, they watch this movie is not cool, do they have any feelings, Whether there is practical meaning, deep meaning, etc., as long as these purposes are achieved, there are some small flaws in the details, fakes, the audience will still accept it, so I think it is better to use other channels instead. ”

"It seems to make a lot of sense, but why do I always think that you are afraid of dirty smell, I think you are afraid that you can't help the dirty smell after communicating with the smelly water pipe." Ah Long moved from the table next to him to Lin Feihong's table and sat down opposite Andy Lau.

Ah Long's words played a certain role, Andy Lau's stubborn temper still couldn't help but suffer such a blow, he shot the case and yelled at Ah Long: "Who said I'm afraid of dirty and smelly, I, Andy Lau, have been engaged in the actor profession with Fei Hong for nearly five years, I have acted in many movies directed by Fei Hong in the past five years, but I have never looked for any stand-in, whether it is a fight scene or other occasions that are difficult to lean over, I carried it down by myself, don't you believe it, ask Fei Hong, see if I came over like this."

Today, if Fei Hong wants me to act in a really dirty and smelly sewer, I will never move an eyebrow, don't tell me to crawl, as long as it doesn't cause any major damage to my body, I will die or something, just ask me to drink. ”

Andy Lau said it with such a righteous anger that Ah Long had to walk away boringly, originally just joking with him, but he didn't expect to be scolded.

"Andy sat down to dissipate his anger, Ah Long is just joking, don't take it seriously, I don't know what kind of actor you are, since you sang on the street and met you, I knew that you would be a good actor in the future, and it turned out that my idea at the time was right, I didn't choose the wrong person, you didn't let me down, from the beginning of the filming of the micro-movies "Plain Life" and "Sure enough, It's You", you are very conscientious to do every role, step by step, and your acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite, I see your performance.

I believe that if I had to ask you to act in a real sewer today, you would not hesitate to get into it, I know your surname, but we really don't have that need to make movies.

You still don't have to fight with Ah Long, everyone is in the same crew, and they usually eat, drink and have fun together, usually the same as brothers, don't hurt the harmony. Aaron, come over and apologize to Andy! ”

Lin Feihong's words still have a certain majesty, Ah Long obediently walked in front of Andy Lau and respectfully prepared to bow and apologize, probably because Lin Feihong's words that everyone is a brother inspired Andy Lau, he didn't let Ah Long bow, just shook hands with him, and smiled at him.

Leslie Cheung's ability is big, I don't know who he contacts, I don't know where I got an abandoned pipe that can be enough for Andy Lau's nearly two bodies to pass through, three meters long, three meters is enough, just shoot how Andy escaped, Andy Lau just needs to climb a few steps in it.

During the day, I continued to shoot other scenes in the prison, filming how Andy withdrew money, how Warden Norton committed suicide, and how Haley was arrestedIt's tedious, time-consuming, but it has to be done. During this time, the filming was a bit like a child playing at home, moving from here to there, and then moving from there to another place after a while.

In the afternoon, the crew is basically rested, because there is still a lot of work to be done in the evening, prison break!

When night falls, the crew enters the life of the night cat again, this time the process of filming Andy's escape from the underground pipeline is also a relatively simple process, a few seconds of footage, and the rest is explained by Aaron's narration, these steps of the process have actually traveled more than 500 meters, just make a look, just like Andy digging a tunnel, the process is not written and described slightly, just like knocking on a pipe, not a few clicks to knock the pipe apart, a few times represents a difficult process.

The pipe is directly flat on the ground, and there is a little decoration inside, black water, garbage bags, bottles and cans, etc., and now Andy first looks at the situation of the pipe left and right, and now a pipe can only be seen once at the head and tail, and then add some special effects to combine it with Andy really sticking his head into the pipe to check left and right. This process is relatively simple, Lin Hui only needs to shoot Andy Lau's head from the beginning and then the pipe, and then shoot the same again from the end.

The process of Andy moving in the pipe is not so simple, it requires a certain amount of manpower, at least enough people need to fix the pipe, the pipe cannot be moved, otherwise it will be a goof. Although a small pothole was dug so that the pipe would not roll, this was only when there was no external force in the pipe, and if Andy Lau was in it, he would definitely roll with the pipe without moving.

Almost all the staff went up, the people on both sides were about the same, lined up on both sides of the pipe, some used their feet to resist the pipe, and some used their hands, Andy Liu climbed in from the tail and tried several times, very stable!

"Okay, now everyone pay attention, ready to start filming, Lin Hui, you have to pay attention to switching lenses, just aim at Andy, and try not to shoot the shots behind him, so that there will be less editing work in the future. Andy, you still have to show nervousness, excitement, and anxiety, so you have to be fast. ”

"Understood."

"Understood."

"Okay, action!"

In the shot, Andy Lau crawled forward step by step with his arms and feet, as anxious and excited as escaping from a hole in a prison cell.

When Andy Lau got closer and closer, Lin Hui, who was lying outside the pipe, adjusted the lens to maintain a close-up, and when Andy Lau was very close to him and it was difficult to adjust again, Andy Lau's head became bigger and bigger.

“cut! It's okay, it's just a waste of film to go any further. ”

The three-meter-long pipeline was over in less than a minute, and the last link left was to find a river to replace the final destination of the stinky water in the sewer pipe.

The river had already been found, and Leslie Cheung and several staff members were already there waiting for the arrival of Lin Feihong and others.

To Leslie Cheung, he is at ease, he has cleaned up a place near the bank by the river, and is waiting for Lin Feihong and others to come.

Now what we want to shoot is Andy sliding out of the sewer pipe into the river, but this is a clean river without pipes, if the pipe just now is transported to the river and then placed on the river, then this manpower is very large, but the people in the crew are all powerless, and even when they topped the pipe just now, their hands and feet are sore, so let them lift a large pipe weighing nearly 1,000 catties? It's better to kill them.

The three-meter-long pipe is not ordinarily heavy, so I had to buy a black plastic pipe instead, and at night, the black plastic pipe looks no different from the real pipe. This approach seems to be very fake, but it is also the smartest approach, the entertainment industry is very fake, 'acting' itself is a kind of fake, the movie is originally a certain distance from reality, and it is common to work in the dark, especially those Hollywood blockbusters, where special effects shots are used everywhere, and the actor just does an action, which is even more fake, and now he uses at least one physical object instead, rather than relying on computer fiction, and computer fictional special effects are called fake.

I put the large plastic pipe on the shore and tried it, it was just right, and it was long enough to stick out from the shore. This time someone needed to carry the pipe, because one end of the pipe was facing an edge on the shore, as if it had been inserted. The pipe itself will not stick to the wall, and can only be supported by external force, so someone needs to squat in the water to support the plastic pipe.

These people who carry plastic pipes must be completely black, and they can't appear in the camera, four people were selected from the crew to dress up in black, and Andy Lau got into the plastic pipe, and was carried to the shore with the help of everyone, supported by four 'black people'.

Lin Hui is also ready, everything is ready, let Lin Hui align the pipeline to debug and see the effect, yes, there are no four 'blacks' in sight, only one pipe inserted into the soil, Lin Feihong nodded with satisfaction and shouted:

“action!” (To be continued.) )
