Ho Hongsheng, the gambling king of Macau, may not be as good as being called the underground emperor of Macau. Here, no one dares to say half a bad word about He Hongsheng, because everyone knows it, even if it is secret, it can be known by Old Man He.

Macau, known as the Monte Carlo of the East, is definitely a golden place. Which of the three major associations in Hong Kong is not strong, and with a casual wave of his arms, he can have tens of thousands of subordinates. However, no one dared to touch Ho Hongsheng, and no one dared to do anything unruly to his territory.

Because in Macau, Ho Hung Sang is everything, the sky of the people of Macau. As long as Ho Hongsheng says a word, the entire people of Macao Street will become brave fighters. Anyone who arrives in Macao must follow the rules of Old Man Ho, and no one is an exception. Even later, when the mainland political axe entered Macao, for the sake of stability, he had to place people related to the He family as the chief executive, which shows the status of Old Man He.

In Hong Kong, the crew can not go to the local gangster brother to worship the pier during filming, but when he comes to Macau, he must instruct Yu Jiayu to worship the pier. Xiao Ran didn't want the crew to have problems anytime and anywhere during filming, and he didn't want to die inexplicably.

Of course, Old Man He is not a gangster brother, but his power is definitely far better than that of a gangster brother. As long as he says a word, the two major associations in Macau will have to undergo a purge at any time. It's a pity that after Yu Jiayu came back, he told Xiao Ran that Old Man He was on vacation and didn't see any guests.

Xiao Ran could only dispel the idea of meeting this legendary figure, in fact, the old man Hong in the film "Dark Flower" was based on He Hongsheng. It's a shame that I didn't see it.

The next day, after the worship ceremony, Xiao Ran announced the official start-up. Makeup artists and stylists began to get busy, and an hour later, Fa Ge and Su Renyao both appeared in front of Xiao Ran with makeup.

But what's wrong? Xiao Ran frowned, rubbed his nose and came to Fa Ge. Su Renyao is no problem, his bald head and the tattoo are full of Liu Qingyun's charm.

However, the problem seems to be with Fa Ge. Fa Ge saw Xiao Ran circling around him a few times, and knew that there must be something that didn't suit Xiao Ran's wishes: "Ah Ran, what's the problem?" ”

After a few turns, Xiao Ran finally understood what the problem was! It's Fa Ge who doesn't feel haggard enough. After deciding to start filming this film, Xiao Ran had already asked Fa Ge to start losing weight, and during this time, he has lost as thin as in "The True Color of Heroes".

Whether it's clothing or styling, it's no problem. Xiao Ran had to copy the original version as much as possible for the sake of this, who had instructed Zhang Shuping. However, now I suddenly found that Fa Ge gave people the feeling of justice, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a corrupt policeman, and this is the biggest problem.

"Ah You, go and call Teng Furen and Zhang Shuping!" Xiao Ran frowned and gave an order to You Zhi, the assistant director beside him, before he said to Fa Ge, who was full of doubts: "Brother Fa, your image does not match the character image in my mind. This is a corrupt police officer, ruthless, and you don't look like it. ”

"No, I think that's good!" Fa Ge looked at his own appearance strangely, and he thought it was very good: "However, you are the director, you are in charge!" ”

Teng Furen is a makeup artist and a newcomer promoted by Phantom Company, young and imaginative. Xiao Ran once used this person in "God of Gamblers", and felt that this person's makeup ability was still very strong.

When Teng Furen and Zhang Shuping hurriedly followed You Zhi, Xiao Ran greeted the two of them and motioned for Fa Ge to pose a pose. After seeing Fa Ge's movements, Xiao Ran stared at the two of them: "Do you think there is anything wrong, it doesn't seem to match what I requested." ”

"That's good!" Zhang Shuping and Teng Furen both looked at Xiao Ran in surprise and replied, they really felt that this was quite in line with the effect Xiao Ran wanted.

Xiao Ran shook his head, this was definitely not the image he wanted. Staring at Fa Ge's bright eyes, he suddenly had an idea. Fa Ge's eyes are too right, and this needs a little change. Then there is the issue of makeup, and he thinks that a little more decadent feeling is needed.

"Can you make his eyes a little cloudy, and let him have a little more scumbag, so that it looks pretty much the same!" Xiao Ran gave an order to the two, and then watched Fa Ge follow.

Half an hour later, when Fa Ge came out of the dressing room, Xiao Ran still felt that something was wrong. Seeing Fa Ge and Teng Zhang walking towards him, Xiao Ran seemed to have caught some inspiration, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, don't move!" ”

The three of Fa Ge were suddenly startled and stopped their pace. Xiao Ran immediately grabbed the aura, it was Fa Ge's pace that was too big. The pace is too big, and with the already very powerful Fa Ge, it will be more straightforward. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran smiled with joy: "Brother Fa, try to keep your pace as small as possible!" ”

Zhou Yunfa seemed to understand Xiao Ran's meaning a little, and made his pace of walking a little smaller. But Xiao Ran was still not satisfied, and it wasn't until he adjusted it a few times that he shouted: "That's right, it's such a pace, but the speed of walking is a little faster, I think that's about the same!" ”

Fa Ge quickly showed what Xiao Ran wanted, walked up to Xiao Ran and asked with a smile: "You should be satisfied this time, right?" Everyone is waiting for you, so there's no need to take it so seriously! ”

Xiao Ran shook his head, making a movie is supposed to be serious to shoot well, if you don't even pay attention to such details, the actor's performance will look out of place. In any case, the image of Fa Ge now is completely in line with the effect Xiao Ran wants.

Shout out to the staff around you, and you will be busy in no time. Xiao Ran looked at the sky, saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and knew that it was about to start, so he hurriedly found Huang Yongheng, the director of photography.

It's not that Xiao Ran doesn't want to use Duke style, but Huang Yongheng is still good at films like this in front of him. Huang Yongheng said a few words to a few photographers, and then came to Xiao Ran's side and asked, "Brother Ran, what's the problem?" ”

"Questions? No. Xiao Ran laughed, where are there so many problems: "I think you should pay attention to capturing the light source in some lenses, causing strong contrast." Also, tell the gaffer to set up the lights. In this film, lighting is very important! ”

The first scene was the scene in the hotel, Zhang Shuping instructed his subordinates to arrange it in the hotel for a long time, and then negotiate with Huang Yongheng. Xiao Ran stayed at the position of the camera, slowly moving the camera. Zhang Shuping is indeed a top master, combing all aspects of space and other aspects with a great sense of hierarchy.

They were quickly busy, and Xiao Ran glanced at Su Renyao and Fa Ge: "Are you ready?" This is a live radio, but you have to do a good job! ”

Live recording is a very clean and neat recording method, and the current Hong Kong film industry is all using the method of post-dubbing. Because the live recording will slow down the shooting progress a lot, and the post-dubbing can save some time.

In the case of changing to post-dubbing, the actor doesn't even need to say his lines, just need to lip sync. Even said that everything else was okay at the scene, just like Du Qifeng filming a scene where Wu Zhenyu beat Huang Qiusheng in "Gunfire", because that day was Huang Qiusheng's birth, and Wu Zhenyu said fiercely while slapping Huang Qiusheng: "Happy!" And after the film was released, it was not visible at all.

“action！” After confirming that all units were ready, Xiao Ran took the loudspeaker and shouted, and when he saw that the camera began to move, he approached and looked at the situation in the performance area.

Fa Ge led a group of men to open the door and walked into the restaurant, glanced at it, and walked straight to one of the tables...... At this moment, Xiao Ran shouted: "cut! ”

All units stopped, and Xiao Ran beckoned to Su Renyao at the other table. Su Renyao was a rather manly man, he obviously knew what he had done wrong, and he cowered in front of Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "Asu, what were you doing just now?" I said, don't be nervous, your character's last name is to act as if nothing happens to you, you know? ”

The first starring role is always a bit of stage fright, and Xiao Ran fully understands this. Therefore, he didn't blame Su Renyao much and appeased him for a while. Xiao Ran shouted again, but after a while, he shouted again to stop.

This time, not only Su Renyao had a problem, but even Fa Ge's performance was a little wrong. Xiao Ran ignored Fa Ge for the time being, just came to Su Renyao's table and waved him away. Then, Xiao Ran motioned for Fa Ge to continue the performance there, while he himself buried his head there and continued to drink his soup, which seemed extremely abrupt among a group of customers.

At the end of the demonstration, Xiao Ran asked Su Renyao: "Do you understand?" Try it out for yourself now! ”

In front of Fa Ge, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh, it seems that such violent movies are indeed very rare in this era, and I can't complain that even Fa Ge has not fully grasped the essence of it.

Smiling slightly at the actor, Xiao Ran took the prop wine bottle in Fa Ge's hand, and didn't look at Fa Ge: "Fa Ge, see clearly." ”

The wine bottle smashed into the actor's hand one by one, but Xiao Ran's face changed for a moment, which was completely a taste of not treating people as sincere. Zhou Yan was stunned because his eyes were straight, is this kind of performance too cold?

Seeing Fa Ge's expression, Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing and handed him the wine bottle: "That's right, it's just like this, can you start?" ”

Fa Ge smiled indifferently: "I suddenly felt that you are really a genius, you can come up with such a cold performance method!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled, but didn't say anything. In these years, the performances of the actors are relatively very orthodox, and it is almost impossible to see the very personal performance methods like in the future. In fact, when filming this film, Xiao Ran never thought that this film would be a blockbuster.

Because of the passionate faction like Wu Yusen, which is popular now, not such a calm faction. Looking at all the villains in this era, I dare not say that they are all the same, but they are all fierce and vicious. As everyone knows, this kind of ferocity that doesn't show anything is what really frightens people.

Xiao Ran is not sure that this film will be a blockbuster, because this is contrary to the trend of the times. The problem is that he is trying to guide with this, or it is better to spend money to pave such a way for Hong Kong films. He did this willingly, but with Fa Ge starring, no matter how bad the box office is, it is difficult to fall below 10 million.

In fact, the shooting was very boring, and gradually half a month passed, because the actors and crew were not very able to adapt to this unique and advanced style, and the progress was quite slow. However, fortunately, everyone gradually got used to this style, and the speed gradually increased.

During this day, Xiao Ran called all the main creators to invite them to dinner. In a private room in a hotel, almost every unit leader of the crew came. Xiao Ran raised the cup filled with water and toasted everyone: "The progress has been very slow in the past half a month, I hope that after eating this meal, it can be faster, but it is still the quality first!" ”

Xiao Ran doesn't drink, this is known to everyone in the circle, but I don't think there is anything disrespectful. Between talking and laughing, a lot of time has passed. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Xiao Ran gently knocked on the table twice, and the noisy sound gradually subsided.

Glancing at the people who were looking at him, Xiao Ran smiled slightly. At this time, he wants to give some attention to some departments that are not very important, instill some concepts in them, and let them spread it. After collecting his own thoughts, Xiao Ran said with a smile: "Actually, everyone here is a very important ...... of the crew."

"Take the gaffer!" Xiao Ran's eyes fell on the gaffer Dou Wenbao, and he couldn't help but make the guy a little scrambling: "Everyone thinks that the gaffer is useless, just just turn on the lights casually." Now filming this scene, I think Ah Dou now knows that it is not so easy to do lighting! ”

Although Dou Wenbao was a little embarrassed at first, he was very proud that Xiao Ran took himself as a model, not because of anything else, but because during this period of time, he did feel more like an artist than a gaffer, and this feeling was undoubtedly very pleasant.
