Chapter 204: Playing with Bombs at the Age of Ten
At the beginning of April, the preparations for "Police Story" had been completed, and Cheng Longye, who had gone to the United States for a trick, had returned to Hong Kong, and immediately led all the members of the family class to join the crew.
On April 11, 1981, "Police Story" was officially launched.
The start-up ceremony held by the crew on a wasteland next to the Chaguoling wooden house area was also very lively. Not only Li Xuan's Xuanhe was almost the entire company collectively dispatched, but even Jiahe sent dozens of people to help. In addition, the people of the Cheng family class and the kamikaze stunt team were all present, and it was spectacular for hundreds of people to worship the gods together.
After the entire crew finished worshipping God, Li Xuan looked at the crowd around him and frowned.
Among these people were not only the aborigines of the wooden house villages, but also several Lands Department officials and some police officers sent by the Hong Kong government to help with the road closure, and of course, an ambulance called by the crew. With so many chaotic people mixed together, the bustling noise made the scene even more cluttered.
"Uncle Qiang, Uncle Qiang, are you there?" Li Xuan shouted by pressing the button on the walkie-talkie.
"Huh-" A murmur flashed over the walkie-talkie, and then a voice came out: "What's the matter?" Director"
"Uncle Qiang, you clear out the irrelevant people around you and let them do whatever they want."

Hearing that the walkie-talkie was quiet, Li Xuan continued without hesitation: "Director Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3, according to the tasks assigned before, lead their group of people to start shooting their own shots. Remember, you must shoot according to the content of the storyboard script, whoever dares to shoot indiscriminately will open it, and the investment of 10 million is not for you to play. Hurry up and act, I don't want to shoot here for two days! β

"Yes, Director."
ββ¦β¦β
There are nearly forty people in this scene in the wooden house area, and the behind-the-scenes personnel are more than twice as many, and the mighty more than 100 people can't be controlled by Li Xuan's overall planning ability alone. Don't you see that Li Xuan doesn't use the loudspeaker to shout, and uses a walkie-talkie that is more suitable for remote command.
So this time, Li Xuan not only found Lin Linggu as an assistant director, but also found two little-known directors from Jiahe to help. Even the photographers were staffed by six people, each with one photographer and one assistant photographer.
Watching the crew members gathered together slowly divide into several waves, Lin Linggu also took a bunch of people and all kinds of equipment to the road on the wooden house village, and Li Xuan also followed closely behind.
"Director Li, did you really invest 10 million in this play?" Chen Yiyan was wearing a heavy canvas suit, holding a motorcycle helmet and ran to Li Xuan's side and asked.
"How can it be, it's just a nice thing to say." Li Xuan smiled and replied softly: "Excluding the salaries of a few leading actors, it is less than six million, and the clothes and cars of the actors in it are all sponsored." β
"Then if you calculate it, it's not 10 million, but 9 million."
"What, are you still afraid that I will lose money?" Li Xuan said as he walked: "With the golden sign of Chenglong, I can earn it back even if I invest 20 million, but I don't think there is any need to invest so much." β
"Haha, that's it." Chen Yiyan said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was still wondering which company was so generous to send us a car to hit it, but I didn't expect it to be Mitsubishi, when will you go to them for sponsorship?" β
Li Xuan frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "This is not my sponsorship, it is a cooperation agreement signed by Chenglong when he went to the United States to film "Cannonball Speed". β
In later Chenglong's movies, basically most of the speeding scenes were used by Mitsubishi Motors, and the partnership between them began with "Cannonball Speed", in which Chenglong's car was a Mitsubishi sedan. And this time Li Xuan started the play, Mitsubishi was even more generous, not only providing more than ten cars for the crew to use casually, but also those heavy trucks and buses and other large vehicles were also provided by Mitsubishi.
"Can you really destroy a car casually?" Chen Yiyan doesn't care what Mitsubishi is or not Mitsubishi, but he is very interested in destroying cars.
"Well......, the car is driven with you, but it's best to get it right the first time." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said helplessly: "Even if there is enough car for you to destroy, but one more filming will be more dangerous, I don't want you to have an accident before the filming is over." By the way, will you be able to resist this set of clothes when the time comes? β
"Bang Bang-"
Chen Yiyan patted the clothes on his body and said a little proudly: "Don't worry, as long as the driver drives on the road, it's absolutely fine." The large items in these houses are gone, and the wooden stakes and iron shelves are also facing downward, and they can't stop the car and can't hit the dead. Moreover, my clothes are custom-made, and there are two layers of steel plates sandwiched in them, so it must be fine. β
"That's good!"
Li Xuan and Chen Yiyan boarded the road above the wooden house village while talking, and the staff of the director's team were setting up equipment to prepare for filming, and Lin Linggu, the assistant director, was fully responsible. Since the entire crew of this scene is divided into three director groups, it is inconvenient for Li Xuan, the chief director, to meddle casually, just supervise the filming on the side.
At this moment, Lin Linggu was holding the script and talking to a group of people in the family class and villain actors, and Lin Qingxia was also among them. The villain **oss Zhu Tao in the original movie was played by Chu Yuan, but at this time, Chu Yuan was still his director at Shaw Brothers, and it was impossible to invite him out to film as an actor. Li Xuan directly pulled Yuan Qi from his own company to play the villain, anyway, he and Chenglong are brothers, so it is better to cooperate.
It's just that Zhu Tao doesn't have martial arts at all in this play, but wastes Yuan Qiu's good work.
"Master! Master! β
Li Xuan and Chen Yiyan just stood next to Lin Linggu and watched for a while, and a young boy about 20 years old ran to Chen Yiyan's side panting and shouted, this guy was not wearing the same special clothes as Chen Yiyan.
Chen Yiyan glanced at the 'Eight Rings' in front of him and asked softly, "Ah Xian, is the explosion point done?" β
"Alright." Hou Shengzi nodded, looked at the clothes on Chen Yiyan's body and asked, "Master, can I drive, do you know that my flying skills are also ......?"
"Bastard boy!"
Before Hou Shengzai's words were finished, he was interrupted by Chen Yiyan slapping him the back of the head, and then Li Xuan saw Chen Yiyan and said with a cold face: "You can't run this way, and you still want to fly." The explosion point is ready, so have you checked it? β
"Uh." Hou Shengzi blushed, paused and said cowardly: "I haven't checked yet, but Master, you have to trust my skills......"
"Smack-"
Chen Yiyan interrupted Hou Shengzi's words with another slap, and said viciously: "Bastard thing, then don't go and check it a few more times." This is a wooden house village, in case something goes wrong with your explosion point, do you want to burn it down and leave those people homeless? β
This guy was patted on the head by his master twice in a row, and he probably felt very unhappy, so he lowered his head and muttered: "It's small, what's the difference between hitting it and burning it out." β
"What did you say?" Chen Yiyan raised his eyebrows and shouted.
"Aha, nothing." Hou Shengzi laughed dryly when he heard this, pointed to the wooden house village and said, "Then master, I'll go and check those explosion points again, and you and the director will continue to talk." β
Hou Shengzi didn't wait for Chen Yiyan to react this time, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left Li Xuan and the two of them and ran back to the wooden house village, and after two or three turns, they disappeared into the jagged buildings of the wooden house village.
The kamikaze stunt team is a stunt team that combines explosives and flying cars, anyway, the crew has already invited them to fly cars, so Li Xuan simply didn't ask his old friend Ma Wenjun to help, and directly handed over the explosion to the kamikaze stunt team.
Now it seems that this offspring is the explosive stuntman of the kamikaze stunt team.
It's just that......
"Yi Yan, you exploders are so young!" Li Xuan sighed as he looked at the direction in which Hou Shengzi disappeared.
"Haha." Chen Yiyan let out a long laugh and said proudly: "Don't look down on him when he's young, this kid has been playing with bombs since he was ten years old." β
"......" (To be continued.) )
