Chapter 63: Black Fist Strikes
"Black Fist" is still in preparation, "Terracotta Warriors" will start filming first, and Rachel will also go to Shanghai with the crew to shoot the location first, and then transfer to Xi'an Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, Hubei Wudang Mountain, Tibet Province Daxue Mountain and other places, it is estimated that it will take three months to come back, that is to say, Liang Xiaolong will live a single life for three months: "Baby, I really want to go back to China with you." Rachel also had a hint of parting melancholy on her face: "Honey, you should be able to end the shooting early, and you should remember to visit China when the time comes." ”
Rachel is going to China with the crew, Kayla has had enough fun here, and she is about to return to China: "Uncle Xiaolong, you said that you will find me to film in the second half of the year." Liang Xiaolong looked up at the sky: "Did I say this?" Doesn't seem to have one, right? The little girl immediately pounced with her teeth and claws, scratching and biting, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Isn't it okay for uncle to joke with you?" There will definitely be your play in the second half of the year. ”
Sending away this big and small beauties, Liang Xiaolong was also a little lost, living alone is definitely not as interesting as living together. However, Liang Xiaolong's worries were soon diluted by his busy work, and with the stylists and costume designers in place, the film was about to start shooting, among which the costume designers were still from his parents' Phantom Clothing Company. Because of "The Cops and the Thieves", the sales of Phantom clothing have increased a lot, so in order to support his parents' career, Liang Xiaolong continues to use designers from Phantom Clothing Company.
The venues were also connected, and "Black Fist" officially started filming on 2.09.
At the beginning of the film, it is a kung fu street dance performance, but because choreography and line dancing take time, it will be filmed at the end. The black boss Johnson brought a group of his younger brothers to find Gao Gang to go to the big black circle, Gao Gang refused, Liang Xiaolong clearly remembered the dialogue of the original film, which belonged to a very classic Hong Kong-style black. Gang dialogue, obviously not suitable for Hollywood, after all, the two cultures are too different.
Johnson said, "Man, have you ever thought about boxing?" Gao Gang shook his head, a little stunned: "I can only dance, not box." Johnson said: "Man, don't be stupid, what money can you make from hip-hop?" Come with me to a boxing match, 20,000 8 a game, and 18,000 if you lose. Gao Gang still shook his head: "I really don't know how to fight." Johnson said: "I can see from your dance that you have a strong kung fu foundation, so I will raise the price, whether you win or lose, 30,000 US dollars per game." Gao Gang still said: "I can only dance, not fight." Johnson pulled out his business card: "Man, think about finding me." ”
This kind of dialogue that pursues pure profit is obviously more in line with American values and more in line with the style of Hollywood films. Of course, this does not mean that Bruce Leung is catering to the appetite of Americans, but making adjustments as needed, just like "Infernal Affairs", the Hong Kong version of the box office record of domestic spy war films, but if it is released in Hollywood, I am afraid that the box office will not be high, because the lifestyles of the two sides are different, it is difficult for Americans to imagine the life of Hong Kong gangsters, and they cannot understand the psychological activities of the characters in the film.
"Stop!" Liang Xiaolong shouted: "Buffon, you are a black boss, but you don't have to be afraid that others will not know that you are a black boss, your voice can be appropriately softer, but you must express that kind of contempt for the boxer." And Wu Jing, your current character is a sunshine boy who has never seen the world, and he laughs a little silly, as if the person standing in front of you is not a black boss, but a gray wolf who tempts you with candy. "Liang Xiaolong's setting for the role of Gao Gang is a silly and cute hip-hop boy, and he is by no means the kind of peerless master with a super strong aura.
"I'm a stupid boy, I'm a stupid boy." Wu Jing muttered twice, and the resumption of filming was very smooth, of course, this also has something to do with the low acting requirements. followed by Anna's shot, she watched Gao Gang and the black boss talking, looking thoughtful, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end she had some scruples and endured it. This test of acting skills is obviously much higher, especially the change in expression, which cannot be too heavy, otherwise it will become a stage play, and it cannot be too light, otherwise it will not be able to show the inner activities of the characters.
In this regard, the director can only put forward his own requirements, and whether he succeeds or not, it depends on the actor's own understanding. Jessica's expression changed several times, but Liang Xiaolong had already frowned, he had to admit that he relied on Jessica on the Internet in his previous life, her beauty can cover up her acting skills, just like now, her expression has changed several times, Liang Xiaolong only has one feeling, beauty, how it changes is very beautiful, she didn't think that she wanted Gao Gang to fight black boxing in her heart, and she was afraid that Gao Gang would oppose the idea of arguing with herself: "Jesse, remember, you are a very scheming girl now, and your eyes can carry a little yin energy." ”
"This director is really good-natured." Jessica secretly stuck out her tongue, and admired Liang Xiaolong a lot, the second time she worked together, but she never saw him get angry on the set, and it was a miracle to change to another director. In fact, this is due to the fact that he has no pressure, he invests, supervises, and directs by himself, he only wants to shoot the desired effect, unlike other directors, for fear that the actors will waste too much film and time, resulting in insufficient production funds and unable to complete the shooting in time.
In order to make the impression of Gao Gang's silly boy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liang Xiaolong also added some special portrayals in the early stage. The second scene is all about showing this silly word, and when he gets home, he can make a mess of his little room, and Anna comes over to help him clean up, complaining, "Oh my God, how did I find such a sloppy and lazy boyfriend as yours." Gao Gang smiled: "My mother said, I am a fool and a fool." Anna shook her head, it was really helpless to find such a silly boy who people loved and hated: "Let's go, go to dinner, there is a new restaurant nearby, I have got a coupon, just take you to try it." Gao Gang smiled again: "It's still a fool to have a mouth." ”
"Alright, fools, that's all for today." Liang Xiaolong began to ask the drama staff to pack up things: "Wu Jing, Jesse, I invite you to dinner." The three of them were very sad, Liang Xiaolong and Wu Jingjing didn't have time to take the driver's license test, and Jessica couldn't take the test because she was not old enough, so the three of them could only take a taxi to the restaurant, Jessica couldn't help complaining: "Xiaolong, you are a big boss, and you should buy a car." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "I don't have a driver's license." Jessica laughed, "You're stupid, you just need to spend some money." Liang Xiaolong suddenly realized: "Yes, money can make ghosts grind, just a driver's license is not easy to catch, Ming'er will ask Carl to help me get a license." ”
The three of them didn't order much, they finished eating in a hurry, Wu Jing and Jessica still had to go to rehearse the dance, Liang Xiaolong was afraid that it would be unsafe for them to go home too late, so he simply asked the company to send a car over to be responsible for delivering them home safely. When he returned home, Liang Xiaolong began to consult information about the War of Resistance, for the filming of films on the theme of the War of Resistance, it was by no means a momentary brain fever, I don't know how many stories happened in the eight years of the War of Resistance, those stories are cast by us Chinese with blood and tears, are all manifestations of our Chinese wisdom and courage, as long as they are well edited, they can definitely shoot a large number of classic films.
Moreover, this also contains his promise to his grandfather and his grandfather's expectations, so no matter what, he will shoot a film about the Anti-Japanese War next year, and it must be a film with a large investment.
Of course, it would be too difficult, or impossible, for Liang Xiaolong to edit and organize it on his own. But Liang Xiaolong has his own unique advantages, he has seen a lot of anti-Japanese war films in his previous life, and he has also seen a lot of war-themed films, so he only needs to intercept the classic scenes, and then combine the situation during the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it is not difficult to sort out a good script. However, before that, he had to constantly search for information and organize information, and if it could not be combined with China's national conditions at that time, it could only be regarded as a fictional film, which was not convincing.
"Black Fist" has very few scenes during the day, whether it is a literary drama or a fighting scene, most of them take place at night, which is more in line with the time and environment in which the underground black fist happens, so Liang Xiaolong did not deliberately change anything. And Wu Jing and Jessica's line dance time will also change from night to day.
In the evening, Anna began to prepare her agitation plan, and seemed to have a happy meal with Gao Gang, but there was always a hint of worry flashing between her eyebrows, and Gao Gang, a completely silly boy, was unaware. It wasn't until she finished eating that Anna finally started her plan, the waiter took the restaurant, Gao Gang paid, Anna took out the coupon, and the waiter said, "I'm sorry, I can't get a discount." A hint of cunning flashed in Anna's eyes, but her face was anxious: "This coupon was issued by your restaurant, why can't it be discounted?" ”
The waiter said: "It is clear on the coupon that if you want to use the coupon, you must take it out before ordering." Anna took the coupon, and sure enough, there was a line of words, but this line of words was very small: "Such a small word, who will pay attention to it, no, you must give us a discount, otherwise I will complain that your restaurant is cheating customers." Anna began to sprinkle in the restaurant, the waiter couldn't resist, the manager came out, but no one wanted to let the two sides of the mang, and the restaurant manager's prediction was also extremely mean, attracting other customers to frequently cast contemptuous eyes, as if to say: "If you don't have money, don't learn to eat a big meal, and charge a lot of money." ”
Gao Gang is a stupid boy, but he is not a fool, he can't stand that kind of strong contempt, so he hurriedly finished paying, pulled Anna Shanren, and walked out of the restaurant: "Honey, don't care too much about this, money is a thing, life does not bring death, and if you are too attached to money, it will only increase your troubles." Anna sighed softly, "I am an orphan." Gao Gang stood still: "I know that the rest of the hip-hop team are also orphans, and they are from the same orphanage as you." Anna sighed softly: "Yes, orphans, helpless, and without education, I can only take everyone to form a hip-hop dance team and support myself by participating in some performances." But up to now, we don't have a rehearsal hall of our own, we live in a small house of a few square meters, and we don't have money, can we do it? ”
Anna added: "Money is not everything, but people cannot live without money. Gao Gang, when we get married in the future, do you still want to squeeze into a small house of a few square meters? When you have a child, do you want your child to be crammed into a small house? Do you want our children to be like us, unable to afford new clothes, drinks, or college? With that, Anna crouched down, held her head, and began to cry with a whimper.
"Stop!" Liang Xiaolong shouted, "Jesse, you are so fake, at least a few tears." Jessica couldn't help but smile bitterly and said apologetically, "Little Dragon, I can't cry." Liang Xiaolong said: "Brew your emotions, have you ever been bullied when you were a child, think about these episodes, you should be able to cry." Jessica said: "Because I am a mixed-race child, I was ugly when I was a child, I was often bullied, and I was used to being bullied. "Liang Xiaolong is speechless, and he is still used to being bullied? This girl is too stupid and cute, right?
