Chapter 242. You're a trick
Although Johnny To's tantrum seemed to be a little violent, after he lost his temper, the whole crew filmed very smoothly. If it goes on like this, this drama can not only be killed in advance, but the budget can also be greatly reduced, and the most important thing is that the crew does not have the interference of those usual troubles, and can spend all their time and energy on artistic creation, which is very beneficial to the improvement of the overall quality of the film.
After more than ten days, Chen Xuanting knew very well in his heart that the fact that "Dark War" could be filmed so quickly was not because he worshiped the blessings of the gods. If you have to say that there is a god, then you can only say that it is really right to invite the "god" of Du Qifeng.
An excellent professional can bring a qualitative leap and improvement to a crew, of course Chen Xuanting knows this truth. But he hadn't imagined that the ascension would be so strong.
Since Johnny To became the chief director of "Dark War", he started his work with a passion and labor intensity that ordinary people could not imagine.
In the words of To Qifeng's later summary meeting of "Dark War", as a qualified director, he should use the domineering spirit of God to block and kill God and Buddha to control his work, and he should use prudence and seriousness, enthusiasm and generosity to deploy his own people and things.
If you do your job before the start of filming, even check every prop button in place, then there will be no embarrassment of the button falling off and the actor making a fool of himself during the shooting; If you touch every prop bullet you need to use before filming to make sure it is not wet with moisture, then there will be no situation like the gunfire shooting point not catching fire; If you can get the actors to simulate the route of the form before filming a car chase scene, the chances of running the wrong track and getting out of control will be greatly reduced...... Similarly, if you can chat and communicate with the actors when you are not filming, then when it comes to filming, there will be no problem of poor communication between the two parties, which affects your comprehension.
In Du Qifeng's view, there is no god in the world, there is no providence, and there is not even any such thing as luck or luck, and good luck is exchanged for meticulous work.
It is naturally easier to say that such a standard of work is done, but if it is really done, especially if it is persisted for a long time, it is simply something that can only be done by supermen.
But the current To Qifeng is undoubtedly such a superman. He seemed to want to snatch back all the time he had wasted in wireless battles and battles, and he worked selflessly.
As the director of this play, there are actually many things that he doesn't need to do himself, and when Chen Xuanting hired him as a director, he also arranged several subordinates for him, hoping that he could worry less.
But Johnny To doesn't seem to need any subordinates to share his worries, almost the whole person is put into the work, in addition to directing and filming, he also personally takes care of various departments such as stationery, art, and recording, which is equivalent to completing the overall work by the way.
Moreover, what touched Chen Xuanting particularly deeply was that Du Qifeng also had a benefit that he couldn't compare to - he could pull his lower face, and he was selfless.
Chen Xuanting has many directors under him, such as John Woo and Wang Jing, who treat their employees including temporarily recruited extras and staff, all of whom belong to the type of kind and kind-eyed gentleman. Especially Wang Jing, he was angry and angry, but in a blink of an eye, the spring breeze was blowing again, and he was always a little unbearable to ask him to reprimand or even expel the people below.
But Du Qifeng is very different, his natural hard temper makes him attach great importance to issues of principle, so he is never afraid of offending people.
As long as the current crew of "Dark War" is the work standard issued by Du Qifeng, this order is better than anyone's words. Here at To Qifeng, no one is in a position to talk about it. At the beginning, there were still people with hippie smiles, thinking that Du Qifeng was the same as Wang Jing, and these wireless directors were so good at talking, so they came to bargain or complain with a sad face. But waiting for this kind of person is always Du Qifeng's cold words: "Don't tell me that you can't do it!" ”
As soon as Du Qifeng arrived in the group, four were expelled in three days, and two people's salaries were cut in half. Even Chen Xuanting couldn't come to intercede. Du Qifeng said to Chen Xuanting, who was smiling: "You said, never interfere with my work!" ”
One sentence made Chen Xuanting speechless.
…… After filming the street chase in Mong Kok in the morning. The extras who were temporarily recruited were announced to be disbanded, because there were no scenes for them in the afternoon, and they were basically some personal scenes of Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun.
Johnny To's "Dark War" particularly emphasizes a sense of realism, especially when it comes to the confrontation between men, which requires close to the standards of oppressive and tense suspense films, so as to highlight the external environment's foil to the surnames of Andy and Qingyun.
Because of this standard, personal dramas are the most difficult to film. As an actor, your every move and every look must meet the standards in the director's heart.
Big names in the film industry like Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun are not having a good time encountering such problems, after being severely criticized by To Qifeng last time, both of them are a little worried, but they feel that the information revealed in the script is not comprehensive enough, and they are a little worried about whether they can accurately express that feeling.
As director To Qifeng, if he encounters problems that are difficult to communicate, his only way is to look at the position in the camera himself, and then go down to teach them one by one, telling them how far to go.
Not far away, the great director To Qifeng is teaching Andy and Qingyun, two major acting schools, to learn drama. Chen Xuanting couldn't help but feel funny.
Recently, there have been many complaints about Johnny To's violent directing, and even Andy has complained a little.
But before Chen Xuanting finished laughing, he heard Du Qifeng shouting from afar: "Chen Xuanting, in the next play, you will play!" ”
In this shooting, only Johnny To dared to call Chen Xuanting like this.
Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that the next scene was indeed his own cameo. The cameo is a patrol officer who gets on the bus to check, basically has no lines, and it looks very simple.
……… Suddenly, you're all set.
Chen Xuanting took off his blazer, and the Hong Kong tycoon, who was originally imposing, instantly became a traffic policeman of Mass A or Mass B.
Although it is not the first cameo acting, Chen Xuanting is still a little nervous in his heart. Around Andy, they have already painted their makeup, and they are well buried.
The camera starts to spin.
I heard Du Qifeng shouting: "Ike God!" ”
This scene finally started filming.
The bus was stopped and stopped.
Inside the car, Andy saw a traffic police officer walking in front of him. So he sat down next to Guan Zhilindi, looked at her, and said, "I'm sorry." Then she picked up her earbuds and put them on, acting as a couple.
The atmosphere is delicate.
At this time, the traffic policeman played by Chen Xuanting came into play. I saw him walk into the car, his eyes looked around, and the flashlight in his hand kept shining back and forth - but such a small action was not passed by Du Qifeng seven or eight times in a row.
"Boss Chen, what are you doing dangling around with a flashlight? You're now a patrol officer, not a warehouse security guard in the prop room! You must know that what I ask you to do in this scene is not to be handsome, nor to be cool, what I want is a kind of calmness and carefulness of a patrol officer, to put it bluntly, I don't want too much body language, what I want is your eyes, your feelings, understand? Du Qifeng said to Chen Xuanting.
Everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Du Qifeng to not even give Chen Xuanting face. Andy Lau was even more stunned, look, this Du Qifeng is enough to drag, even Ah Ting dares to reprimand.
Thinking about the fact that he and Liu Qingyun were taught by him, he felt very cloudy.
"In short, you remember to me that although you are a trickster, you are also an actor! If you are an actor, you must have acting skills, don't be like a wooden man without any expression! Du Qifeng scolded Chen Xuanting.
Everyone thought that Chen Xuanting was going to erupt more or less this time, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention." ”
People fainted.
This Boss Chen is also too easy to talk to.
After reprimanding Chen Xuanting, Du Qifeng turned to Andy Lau: "And you, Andy, you must enter the play, now you are a wanted thief, and it is a crime with a high IQ, what is a high IQ?" It's that everything has already been planned and psychological warfare with the enemy, so please eliminate all the superfluous body language from the past, I want to be restrained! - Be careful, you don't act for the sake of acting, you have to think of yourself as a real person, understand, you must blend in! ”
What can Andy Lau say, even Chen Xuanting had to obey Lao Du's deployment, and he had to say: "Okay, Director Du, I will do a good job!" Rest assured! Du Qifeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ready to start filming again!" ”
Needless to say, this scene is basically over and over again. Because no one has the guts to make mistakes, let the hot Lao Du criticize him for a while.
After Chen Xuanting finished his cameo role, he sat in the nanny car, just breathed a sigh of relief, smoked a cigarette and relaxed, when suddenly someone knocked on the car door.
Chen Xuanting said that he came in, and saw the big-eyed beauty Guan Zhilin looking at him with a smile.
"How are you?" Chen Xuanting said.
"Why can't it be me?" Guan Zhilin got into the nanny car.
"Are you done filming?"
"Yes, everyone has done it all over again, and Director Du is very happy." Guan Zhilin sat down next to Chen Xuanting, and suddenly said, "Give me a cigarette, okay?" ”
"You smoke too?"
"Occasionally."
Chen Xuanting handed her one.
Guan Zhilin lit a cigarette leisurely, then glanced at Chen Xuanting and said, "Not bad, your acting skills." ”
"The first cameo, the acting skills are a little raw!" Chen Xuanting said modestly.
"Gege," Guan Zhilin smiled, "I'm not talking about your cameo acting just now, but a scene with Director Du." ”
"You...... What do you mean? Chen Xuanting looked at her.
"Women are very sensitive, I know you want to surrender your identity like this to improve Director Du's prestige, but it's a little hard for you-" Guan Zhilin glanced at Chen Xuanting softly.
Chen Xuanting coughed: "Don't guess. ”
Guan Zhilin smiled: "Even if I'm wrong, you don't have to be so nervous?" ”
"Am I nervous? Nope! It's just a little hot inside this car. In fact, because there were just the two of them in the car, the bursts of body fragrance coming from Guan Zhilin's body made Chen Xuanting feel a little unnatural, and Guan Zhilin's figure was so good, any man would inevitably be moved when he saw it.
"Are you a little scared of me?"
"Who said that?" Chen Xuanting immediately refuted.
"Then why don't you dare look at me?" Guan Zhilin's tone was full of seductive charm.
Chen Xuanting was depressed, and said in his heart, aren't you just a woman, am I so timid? So he looked at Guan Zhilin and said, "You better go out quickly, otherwise I will make a mistake." ”
"Making mistakes? What's wrong? Guan Zhilin smiled like a flower, pretending not to know.
Chen Xuanting stretched out his arms, "If you continue like this, I will hold you in my arms." After speaking, he looked at Guan Zhilin's pretty face with a smile.
Seeing Chen Xuanting suddenly make this posture of hugging himself, Guan Zhilin's face unconsciously burst into a rich flush, but he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, did he really dare to do this?
Although Guan Zhilin likes Chen Xuanting, after knowing that he is between him and Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen and others, she also knows very well that it is difficult for her and him to have any results, so she will tease him to satisfy her wishes. But suddenly Chen Xuanting became very manly, and when he said that he wanted to hug her, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but be slightly confused for a while. I don't know how to deal with the situation in front of me.
"Ahem, you're not running away? That's the default! ”
Just when Guan Zhilin was hesitating, Chen Xuanting's outstretched arms suddenly pushed towards her waist and hugged the convex and wonderful delicate body into his arms. Two towering jade balls pressed tightly against Chen Xuanting's chest, and the soft and elastic sense of oppression made Chen Xuanting's heart a little crisp in an instant.
Guan Zhilin's lips opened slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a coquettish moan. The fiery feeling passed from Chen Xuanting's body, and Guan Zhilin's delicate body suddenly seemed to burn hot. Almost in the snap of a finger, it softened. His eyes stayed on Chen Xuanting's face, and his voice trembled: "Villain, you ......"
"Hmmm......"
Before the words came out, Guan Zhilin's delicate lips were blocked by Chen Xuanting, and she only had time to let out a long and leisurely sound. At the beginning, Guan Zhilin was looking forward to the kind of light kiss like a dragonfly, but now she was so fierce on Chen Xuanting's lips that even that heart seemed to have turned into a pool of spring water. The delicate body only struggled slightly, and Guan Zhilin was completely intoxicated by Chen Xuanting's gentle attack, and she couldn't stop it.
Long.
The four glued lips were reluctantly separated, Guan Zhilin gasped and collapsed in Chen Xuanting's arms, half-squinting at the pair of autumn-like eyes, looking at the man in front of her with a somewhat complicated mood - this man who had taken advantage of her excessively many times, but despite this, she never really hated him and annoyed him...... In the future, I can only be friends with him, and I can't hug each other as intimately and comfortably as this anymore? Thinking of this, Guan Zhilin's determination a moment ago involuntarily loosened, she was reluctant to leave this warm embrace, and she was even more unwilling to be just an ordinary friend with him...... Guan Zhilin's heart was soft, and all kinds of thoughts were chaotic, but Chen Xuanting's mind was much purer, he didn't think about anything in his heart, just simply enjoyed the faint fragrance that came to his nose and tasted the slippery and soft ** taste in his arms.
Quietly, Chen Xuanting's palm slid down on Guan Zhilin's plump buttocks, and the wonderful feeling of elasticity and smoothness floated into his heart, making Chen Xuanting feel immortal, and his fingers couldn't help but slowly knead on the round buttocks...... "Villain, what are you going to do with me?" ”
Guan Zhilin leaned his head on Chen Xuanting's sturdy chest and muttered a question, with a hint of resentment in his tone.
Chen Xuanting was immersed in that wonderful touch, and he didn't understand the meaning of Guan Zhilin's words for a while, and asked unconsciously: "What to do?" ”
Seeing Chen Xuanting's absent-minded face, Guan Zhilin's heart suddenly became inexplicably annoyed, and she reached out and pinched Chen Xuanting's belly a few times. Chen Xuanting was in pain, and the charm in his brain instantly dissipated a lot, and the palms that were caressing Guan Zhilin's round buttocks also paused, and he looked at her in amazement.
At this time, Guan Zhilin suddenly put on a posture of asking him to be responsible, Chen Xuanting didn't feel a little headache, and secretly sighed in his heart, there is really no free lunch in the world, and women can't touch it in vain.
Guan Zhilin saw that Chen Xuanting was silent, so he suddenly smiled and said: "I'm teasing you, and I won't let you be responsible, in my eyes, you are just a hairy boy!" You're not my thing! ”
Chen Xuanting breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him look like this, Guan Zhilin inevitably felt a sour in his heart, and forced a smile and said, "Tonight is my birth, can you come to my house-"
Facing Guan Zhilin's invitation, Chen Xuanting hesitated slightly, "I may not be able to go, there are still many things I need to do." ”
Guan Zhilin let out a soft "oh", looking a little lonely.
Chen Xuanting couldn't bear to look at her.
"Okay, I'll go out first, or I'll be misunderstood." Guan Zhilin hurriedly got out of the nanny car.
Chen Xuanting wanted to call her to stop, but he opened his mouth and didn't shout.
After a while, Andy Lau got into the nanny car and asked Chen Xuanting: "What were Guan Zhilin and you doing in there just now?" Her face is so red? ”
Chen Xuanting said with a weak heart: "What can I do?" We're just talking, what do you think? ”
Andy Lau smiled wryly: "If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do!" You kid, Yan Fu is not shallow, but don't play car shock on the set, the impact will be very bad! ”
"Shock your head, your mind has been poisoned by Wang Fatman!" The fat man Wang Xuanting said was the big pervert Wang Jing.
Andy Lau smiled: "Even if I guess wrong, you don't have to react so much, right?" ”
Chen Xuanting: "Pick, you are misunderstood like this, can you not react much?!" ”
