Chapter 312: Scholar
In Nam Wai, Sai Kung, Hong Kong, in an old-fashioned two-story brick building.
The rest of the furniture on the second floor has been vacated, leaving only a table to serve as a gaming table. The four cameras were set up in different positions in front of the gaming table, but Li Xuan was preparing to shoot a scene with multiple cameras in order to catch up with the show.
Liu Dehua wore a denim suit and combed his big back, looking ruffian and very handsome. And the person standing next to Liu Dehua to make a cameo appearance as his younger brother is Ye Weixin, who has been working in the company for several months. This guy got his wish to work on the set, and now he is no longer a person who knows anything about movies.
But what is more noteworthy in the crew is the famous 'Dasha' Cheng Kui'an in later generations, who plays the role of a ruffian who opens a small gambling stall in "God of Gamblers". Originally, he is now a member of Li Xiuxian's Li family's class, but Li Xiuxian is now also a free person who runs around to invest in making movies, so Li Xuan directly borrowed Cheng Kui'an.
And unlike Li Xuan's later generations who thought that 'Dasha' was Cheng Kui'an's nickname after he became famous in movies, at this time Li Xuan knew that 'Dasha' was Cheng Kui'an's nickname since he was a child. So Li Xuan didn't bother to change the name of this ruffian, and directly called 'Big Fool Brother', which was very appropriate.
So now when the people in the crew saw Cheng Kui'an, they also screamed stupidly. Cheng Kui'an, who had a vicious face, was not angry, but made a mess with everyone with a grin.
And in the next game where Liu Dehua gambled against others, his opponent Li Xuan was also replaced by Wu Mengda to play tricks. This character, which only has two shots in a movie and doesn't even have a single line, is an easter egg deliberately made by Li Xuan. Specially prepared for the next movie "The Saint of Gambling".
In later generations, he was deeply influenced by American Easter eggs. It's a lot of bad taste.
As for the loan shark boss played by Wu Mengda in the original film. handed over to Yuan Hua to make a cameo, anyway, he played a lot of bad guys, not more than one or two.
Four or five 'gamblers' were sitting there at the gaming table, and Cheng Kui'an, who was not angry and murderous, was standing next to the gaming table, but he was not staring at anyone who was out of the ordinary, but playing against Liu Dehua.
Huang Yuetai, Li Xuan's royal cameraman, is now getting higher and higher, he likes to take apprentices, he has already taught several disciples, and now it can be said that more than half of Xuanyuan's cameramen are taught by him. At this time, he served as the camera director of "God of Gamblers". The final lecture is being given to the four cameramen in control of the camera.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Xuan asked loudly, "Are you ready?" ”
“ok!”
"Alright, director, let's get started."
"The camera is ok too."
“……”
Li Xuan nodded, and said as he sat down: "Everyone is buried in their own positions, ready to start filming!" ”
"God of Gamblers" 18th scene 3 shooting, action!"
"Smack!"
Ye Weixin, who looked a little sick with a little makeup, stood behind Liu Dehua, stared at those small eyes and said, "Eh, boss, we are only a little at eight o'clock." ”
"You're a dead man's head, damn it!" Liu Dehua slapped Ye Weixin's crow's mouth. With a tangled face, he picked up the card in his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Out, out." Out of ......"
"Out, out, out......" Ye Weixin also began to shout next to him.
"Seven-seven-eighty-eight don't want nine, seven-seven-eighty-eight don't want nine......" Liu Dehua looked at the hole cards in his hand, his expression suddenly changed from nervousness to excitement, and Ye Weixin also suddenly laughed next to him.
"Haha-" Liu Dehua turned over the hole cards and threw them on the table, and smiled proudly: "Resist, eight o'clock and it's eight, haha." ”
After this long shot was taken, Li Xuan hurriedly looked at the No. 2 camera position, here is a close-up of Cheng Kuian's upper body. I saw that Cheng Kui'an's face was stunned in the monitor, and he slapped it on the gambling table and shouted: "Kill!" ”
These shots are almost all fixed shots, so the camera doesn't need to move much, and the actors are almost in good positions. According to the next shot, Li Xuan looked at the No. 3 again, this one is a medium shot, and almost the entire gaming table can be photographed.
I saw Liu Dehua stand up and say loudly to Cheng Kuian: "Alas! Eight points to eight points, it is obviously a tie, how can it be a killing? ”
After saying this, the No. 4 camera also started its shot, but it was a close-up shot of Liu Dehua and Cheng Kui'an arguing.
"My rules here, and that is, kill!" Cheng Kuian said viciously while pointing to his feet.
Liu Dehua argued: "You are robbing!" ”
"Hmph, this alley is mine, the house is also mine, and I also set the rules, I say kill all the killing, if you are verbose, I will throw you downstairs." Cheng Kui'an scolded with a vicious face.
"Fart-" Liu Dehua scolded loudly.
"Click-"
Li Xuan shouted and shouted: "Hua Zai and Dasha's acting skills are good, this is over, everyone is ready to prepare, let's shoot the next one!" ”
What Cheng Kui'an said just now is indeed good, this is indeed his territory, this vicious-looking person is very popular in his hometown. Even this half-dilapidated brick building was borrowed by his uncle on his own initiative, which saved Li Xuan a little trouble.
Next, the crew was divided into two groups, Li Xuan's group continued to shoot the next scene where Daozi took the gambling god to cheat money, while Huang Yuetai ran outside the building with a cameraman to shoot the scene of Daozi being thrown downstairs by gambling thugs. Of course, the person who threw it down was definitely not Liu Dehua, but a dragon and tiger martial artist who fought for his life, in case he injured Liu Dehua, then many of his previous scenes would be filmed in vain.
Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are much better than the previous two, and he has just been trained by Wang Jin for a month, and he is not conventional in acting in comedy, and this injured and mentally handicapped gambling god is naturally not a problem.
The group worked overtime to shoot quickly, for which Li Xuan also called most of the company's resources, and as a result, nearly three-quarters of the scenes were filmed in about two weeks, and the shooting speed was as fast as that of the fast gunner Wang Jin.
However, in mid-November, Li Xuan was in a hurry, so he had to stop the filming of "God of Gamblers" and took a three-day vacation for the whole crew.
Of course, Li Xuan did not attend Shao Renmei's funeral, although Shao Renmei's condolence ceremony was in the past few days, but he had only one side with Shao Renmei, and he was not familiar enough to go to Singapore to mourn.
The main reason is that the 20th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is about to open.
and "The True Color of Heroes", which has been nominated for many Golden Horse Awards, naturally has to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and without Zhou Runfa's "God of Gamblers", it will not be able to be filmed. Li Xuan was also nominated for a Best Film Interlude, and now the directors of "God of Gamblers" are no longer in Hong Kong.
In recent years, Taiwan's democratic atmosphere has become stronger and stronger, and the Golden Horse Awards have begun to quietly resist this year, which can be seen from the postponement of the Golden Horse Awards for more than half a month this year.
In the past, why did most of the Golden Horse Awards be drawn on October 31st? Even if it is postponed or advanced, it is not a few days.
That's because October 31st is Mr. Jiang's birthday, and choosing to draw the lottery on this day also has a certain celebratory meaning in it. Since its birth, the Golden Horse Awards have been a film award with strong political and personal overtones.
This year, the Golden Horse Awards were postponed for half a month.
Although there is a lot of excitement in Taiwan, Li Xuan rarely pays attention to those things, as long as the movie can be released there safely. This time he went to Taiwan, not only to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, but also to meet Cai Songlin, the boss of the scholar, and to have a good relationship.
It's just that Li Xuan didn't expect Cai Songlin to come so quickly.
The crew of "The True Color of Heroes" came to the hotel arranged by the Kaohsiung Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee, and then they dispersed to rest, preparing to participate in the Golden Horse Awards in the evening. As the titular heroine of "The True Color of Heroes", although Zhong Chuhong was not nominated for the Academy Awards, she still came to participate due to Taiwan's influence.
Here, Zhong Chuhong was packing up her and Li Xuan's clothes, and over there, Li Xuan turned on the TV and casually watched Taiwan's TV programs. It's just that he has only been watching for about ten minutes before he hears a knock on the door.
Li Xuan was not very interested in TV programs in this era, so he casually turned off the TV and ran to open the door.
"Mr. Li ......"
As soon as the door opened, Li Xuan saw Li Guoxin from his company standing at the door, and there were two strangers standing behind him. Needless to say, the last one looked like a little brother with a bag, and the one who attracted Li Xuan's attention the most was the elegant man standing in the middle who was a little 'panda-eyed'.
"Haha, Boss Li, it's the first time we met, the contemptible scholar Cai Songlin, please take care of me in the future!" The elegant man stretched out his right hand and smiled. (To be continued......)
