Chapter 233: Directing "The Saint of Gambling"
Chapter 233 directed "The Saint of Gambling"
Many times, it is very interesting for the outside world to watch the casting lineup of Lu Yan's movies. This situation is caused by Lu Yan's success after filming "The True Color of Heroes" at the beginning. If Lu Yan had chosen Chow Yun-fat for filming "The True Colors of Heroes" and they had not succeeded, then such a situation would not have occurred. But he succeeded, and after creating miracles again and again, his films naturally made the audience look forward to his films.
And this time, whether it is "Mong Kok Carmen" or "The Saint of Gambling", most of the newcomers are used in it. Whether it's an actor or a director.
However, compared with the two movies, the cast of "Mong Kok Carmen" is naturally much stronger than that of "The Saint of Gambling". Because of this, "The Saint of Gambling" naturally does not attract much attention from media reporters. Although this movie was recognized by everyone as the second part of "God of Gamblers" when filming started, in fact, both Lu Yan and Liu Zhenwei denied it.
But the cast in it is not so popular with the outside media. However, all the staff of the crew of "The Saint of Gambling" don't care, because Dongcheng Imaging has always been a paradise for newcomers. It doesn't matter if you're not famous, as long as you work hard, then you will definitely have a chance to get ahead.
So, there is not much interruption from the outside media. "The Saint of Gambling" was filmed very smoothly, and basically except for some more detailed shots, there will not be "Ng" too many times

"Yesterday, my Filipino maid went grocery shopping. I heard a fish seller say that there is a friend called the God of Gamblers" Stephen Chow suddenly pointed to the camera, and said with a strange face: "Don't tell me it's you hahahahahahahaha...... I was shocked."
Stephen Chow suddenly snapped his fingers, and Wu Mengda on the side hurriedly handed over the soaked instant noodles.
"What a joke" Stephen Chow smiled, ate instant noodles and said: "There are people in this world who call themselves the God of Gambling when I don't exist?" Then I tell you to wear contact lenses when gambling cards, and I will use your eyes to gamble. It's called a special feature."
With another snap of his fingers, Wu Mengda took out an ace of spades from his chest and handed it over
Stephen Chow took the ace of spades and said with a serious face: "There is an ace of spades here, as long as I pinch it gently." Immediately turned into a crumpled ace, because I didn't do the work, I just need to conjure a deck of mahjong tiles with one shot, and you will say that I am talking nonsense?? I said you are talking nonsense, what do you see, unconvinced? Let's try to compete, of course, if you give me a million or hundreds of thousands, I won't compare with you, aha. How's it going? Don't you pay for learning skills? My phone number is Hong Kong 3345678 and I will say it again: Hong Kong 3345678 I don't care if you don't look for me, because you don't look for me after 10 o'clock, because I slept ......"
"Cut" Liu Zhenwei had a smile on his face, and haha: "Xingzai, it's very good"
"Poof, that's too funny"
"With such a plot and dialogue, Boss Lu really has ideas."
"Oh, it's really funny."
"Xingzai's expression just now was funny, the key Uncle Da still looks very serious, haha......"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Hehe, it seems to be a good shot."
Hearing this voice, the staff in the room immediately retracted their expressions when they saw the person coming and said, "Boss"
"Yan Zai, why do you have time to come over today" Liu Zhenwei saw that it was Lu Yan, and immediately stepped forward and said: "The shooting is really smooth, Xingzi does have a funny talent for ghosts."
In fact, the staff outside already knew that Lu Yan was coming, but the shooting was being carried out in the room. So Lu Yan nodded at them and went in first.
It was also just the right time, and Lu Yan just happened to see this wonderful scene when he went in.
"Xingzai, it's very good, come on, play well. I believe that after this movie, you will no longer be just an actor. ”
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Zhou Xingchi nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, don't worry."
Although it is still not favored by the outside media, although it still has not been interviewed by any reporters and media. But Stephen Chow has put in a hundred times the effort, and even often stays up all night studying the script of "The Saint of Gambling". And it was during the filming of this movie that Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda began to become good buddies who studied the script together, and they forgot to make friends for the New Year.
What's more, he and Wu Mengda both understand that the reason why they can play the leading role in "The Saint of Gambling" is obviously the credit of Lu Yan, and it is the strong support of this Boss Lu that gives them this opportunity
Lu Yan knew that Stephen Chow was originally called "Xingzai". As soon as this film came out, it was called "Star Master" in just a few days. At the same time, Xingpai's acting skills were called "nonsensical" and were widely known for a while. Although this work is by no means the best work of "Star Master" if you look at it later, it is still very appreciative as a famous work that opened a generation of trends.
The special function gambling film is a "creative" play after "God of Gamblers". Gambling cards, buying dice, and betting on horses, the film tries to play the best way to play a special function in the lives of ordinary citizens. Making a fortune by gambling and making a fortune by gambling is the dream of the citizen class without financial capital, and the emergence of special functions is indeed more practical than myths such as the God of Wealth from heaven. And what Lu Yan conceived is one of the main reasons why this movie can attract audiences. If the early stage is full of funny elements, then the plot of the final casino showdown is the most anticipated stage for the audience at the beginning.
Seeing Stephen Chow's performance just now, Lu Yan nodded very affirmatively. Under the guidance of Liu Zhenwei, Stephen Chow's acting skills have indeed been released. Although Stephen Chow has always been running tricks, he has accumulated a lot of experience for him. In particular, the characteristics of the little people are very precise. And I have observed the performances of many actors and learned a lot of things.

", why are you smiling so happily?"
Hearing the question, Wu Mengda, who was resting, laughed and said, "It's so fun to play against Xingzai, the dialogue is so fun, let's think about adding some body movements to it." ”
"Oh? Then I'll take a good look at your performance today" Lu Yanhe replied, Lu Yan was very clear about Wu Mengda and Stephen Chow's style. These two guys often study the script and even change it. The body movements and tone of voice are deliberately added to the explanation of the lines......
"Yan Zai, you should take a good look." Liu Weiqiang, who was in charge of the filming of "The Saint of Gambling", came over and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, deliberately widened his eyes and said: "I bought a mansion secretly, and I didn't reveal any rumors." In those days, we were squatted by a group of reporters every day. By the way, what's going on with Fat Wang? ”
"He, this guy is obviously the producer of "The Saint of Gambling", so he simply sells dog meat on the head of a sheep. I always come here once in a while, and most of the time I say I'm busy writing a new script, and I don't know what the situation is. Liu Zhenwei smiled, but there was nothing uncomfortable in his heart. What Lu Yan said at the beginning was to hand over the leadership of filming to Liu Zhenwei. Wang Jing herself rarely came over to give some opinions.
As he spoke, Liu Zhenwei looked at Lu Yan and said, "But then again, Yan Zai." I've been watching the news these days, and I heard that you've made up your mind not to make movies this year? Is our company going to be officially established as a film company? ”
"Well, yes" Lu Yan nodded, noncommittal: "Otherwise, how can we compete with Xinyicheng and Jiahe in the film market?"
"Then you didn't come here today to tell us the good news, did you?"
Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "Just kidding, I'm here to visit the class." By the way, let's see how you guys are doing."
"So we can't afford to make mistakes today. Hehe" Liu Zhenwei smiled and suddenly shouted: "Everyone is ready to bury the other departments, all ready." Xingzai, you bury your position quickly...... Boss Lu is coming over today, we have to let him take a good look."
"Hehe" Everyone else laughed and laughed, everyone had worked with Lu Yan so much. But laughing and laughing, everyone still remembers Lu Yan's strict requirements during filming. Even if it is like Chow Yun-fat who became popular after "The True Color of Heroes", when he starred in "God of Gamblers", Lu Yan scolded him for a slight mistake.
The staff were all prepared with all their hearts, and Stephen Chow and the others were even more apprehensive. This is the first time Lu Yan has come to see everyone's performance, and Stephen Chow naturally hopes to perform well in front of this big boss Lu. And in addition to being the boss, Lu Yan is also a big director, although it is already very good to be able to star in Dongcheng Images' movies, but it would be even better if he could star in Director Lu's movies

"Junru, it's time for you to play Brother Da, ......cooperate well" Liu Zhenwei commanded the actors in place, and smiled with Lu Yan beside him: "Yan Zai, do you feel that your hands are itchy After "Rouge Buckle", you shouldn't have touched the machine for a long time, right, stand in front of the guide tube and show your hand?" ”
was said by Liu Zhenwei, Lu Yan was really eager to try. He didn't say much, just nodded and shouted: "Come on, hurry up"
Hearing this familiar shout, everyone was stunned at first. Immediately became more enthusiastic, and it was a rare opportunity for Director Lu to come as a guest director. Everyone knows that Boss Lu admitted in the newspaper that he will not shoot any new films this year
I saw that the heads of departments all made the 'OK' gesture until the actors said yes. Lu Yan looked at it and immediately shouted, "A"
"Huh?"
Seeing Stephen Chow and them start to perform, Lu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. Oh, I didn't expect Liu Zhenwei to really get Wu Junru, the 'female Stephen Chow'.
Together with Carina Lau, Deng Cuiwen, Lan Jieying, and Zeng Huaqian, she was listed as a new generation to succeed Hua Dan. Helplessly, her appearance is mediocre, she has not been able to get on the throne, and she is still on the verge of hiding in the snow. didn't want to, but unexpectedly received Liu Zhenwei's invitation, so she readily agreed. Although Liu Zhenwei is only a fledgling director, the name of Dongcheng Imaging cannot be questioned.
You must know that at this time, the movie always wants to be shot in a short time, and it is always in a hurry, and the props and plot are not as good as later. So at this time, it is very good to "sell people", and once the actor becomes popular, he will be robbed and robbed. And Lu Yan's Dongcheng image wants to put a lot of effort into many details of the filming preparations. On the contrary, in terms of actors, they insist on using potential actors.
So once they can be selected, then at least they are malleable in the eyes of these directors of Dongcheng Images.
In the early years, the development of TV stations was blocked, and when Wu Junru entered the film industry, he happened to encounter the comedy trend set off by Xinyi City. Born in a well-off family and spoiled like a barbaric princess since she was a child, she prefers to play the grassroots, and the comedy road of the individual and the times coincides in this way. played the rude policewoman in "The Best Friend", a scene of picking her nose, which made her completely let go of herself after embarrassing crying, and the comedy career of "laughing aunt" Wu Junru came.
What she never expected was that good luck would come so quickly, and Liu Zhenwei contacted her for the first time. And today, it is the first scene in which she participated in the filming of "The Saint of Gambling".
And in this first scene, I met Lu Yan to direct and shoot in person.
"Junru, don't be nervous. When it's time for you to play, do as you just played. The field reporter quickly talked to Wu Junru on the sidelines, signaling the other party not to be nervous.
Stephen Chow and the others are all a little apprehensive in their hearts, but they have already become a little inertial after filming for so long.
"That Junru, hurry up" Looking at the progress of the shooting, Lu Yan suddenly shouted.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Cut is very good, it seems that your acting skills have been sharpened by Director Liu......"
Hearing Lu Yan's shout, the other staff members applauded. I didn't expect that "The Saint of Gambling" would have the opportunity to be directed by Director Lu Da once, which is certainly something worth celebrating.
"Zhen viagra, I came over today to tell you something. The night after tomorrow, I had a holiday, and I moved in. Haha" After speaking, Lu Yan patted Liu Weiqiang and Zhou Xingchi on the shoulders and said: "It's okay if people arrive, and the ceremony won't be used." When the time comes, they will all be dressed up handsomely, and there will be reporters to take pictures."
"Congratulations, Yanzai, it won't really be a wedding room prepared, right?"
"Boss Lu, it's definitely time to arrive."
"And the reporter, that day, I really should have dressed up a little more handsome."
