Chapter 133: Actress
Three new actresses arrived in the crew, they were with great anticipation, and when they arrived in the crew, they felt great surprise, and then frustration and disappointment.
In comparison, Fujido Xiangcheng is much more adaptable than them, and those who have been professionally trained as bodyguards are much stronger than those who have been professionally trained in sports.
Tsurumai and Asakura are just the level of ordinary high school clubs, although the level of kendo and karate is really good, but it is also relative to ordinary ordinary people, in the eyes of a group of martial arts champions, fighting gold medalists, Muay Thai masters, etc., it is not enough to see at all. That is, Yugari Oshima patiently explained the elements of action movies to them very patiently out of care for his compatriots, otherwise these two performances are like regular middle school competitions.
Huang Yuxin's taekwondo is not much better, the regular sports model is trained without a referee by his side, and he doesn't know what to do after almost a move, although compared to ordinary girls, every move has shown quite strength, but the consistency is too poor, and there is no beauty at all when filmed. These people have to train well under Master Yuan alone, Shen Zhenghui asked Oshima Yugali to train these girls well, Master Yuan has no female apprentices in his hands, and some close-fitting actions can only be done by Oshima Yugali.
Yugali Oshima is quite conscientious and responsible, and after accepting this task, he took the initiative to do it seriously, and also served as a translator for two little Japanese girls, Tsurumai and Asakura. During the official shooting, Tsurumai had to hold a real sharp blade, and Asakura had to wear iron finger gloves. If you don't do the action properly, you are likely to get injured first.
However, even if these two girls work so hard, the scene they end up shooting may be less than three minutes, of course, Huang Yuxin is the same.
However, the three girls didn't have the idea and attitude to complain at all, maybe because they were stunned by the titles of national martial arts champion and free fighting champion as soon as they entered the crew, and they were hit by the superb fighting skills and action ability of these men. In particular, these men can both fight and be tall and handsome. Wu Jin has a baby face again, and he looks as if he is also a high school student.
The atmosphere of the crew became a little strange.
But Shen Zhenghui doesn't care about this.
Fujido Xiangcheng also joined the crew, not so much that she was an actress in the crew, but that she was Shen Zhenghui's secretary. Shen Zhenghui has always told Fujitang Xiangcheng to do whatever he wants. Especially the communication with the actresses. She also works part-time as a translator. Shen Zhenghui, as a director, was reluctant to teach Japanese to two Japanese girls. So Fujido Kazuki took on the role of translator.
Just in terms of combat effectiveness, Fujido Xiangcheng will not obviously lose to a few male actors, but as a woman. The body and the ability to resist hitting are hard injuries, and when Zheng'er starts to fight, it is impossible for her to take advantage. However, this made it convenient for Shen Zhenghui to shoot the scene more excitingly. In the whole film, Shen Zhenghui plays the big boss who bets, and he looks unfathomable from beginning to end, and the heroes and heroines who fight hard and fight to the death in the boxing ring are just tools for these black-hearted big bosses to bet.
The whole story plot is probably like this: Wu Jin plays the national martial arts champion sent by China's big 6 sides to go undercover for the Black Boxing Group, Daniel Wu plays the undercover agent sent by the Hong Kong side to cooperate with Wu Jin, the Japanese side sent undercover is Oshima Yugali, and Billy Zhou plays Oshima Yugali's boss, ostensibly a police officer, but in fact one of the masterminds behind the Black Boxing Group.
Shen Zhenghui plays the mysterious character in the entire script, the big boss who participates in gambling. In the vast majority of scenes, he appears by sitting in his seat and watching the fight, and then buying a ticket to vote for the protagonist to win. Of course, Shen Zhenghui's role in the whole film was hidden, and his true position was not revealed in the end. In front, he seemed to be an NPC attracted by the protagonist's aura, placing heavy bets on the protagonist's body, and using the protagonist's victory to win one handful after another.
And Shen Zhenghui was also listed as a VIP customer inspection object by the Black Boxing Group. The Black Fist gambling group found out the undercover identities of Yugali Oshima and Daniel Wu insider, so they first designed Daniel Wu to face Yugali Oshima. At the same time, he deliberately told Wu Jin the news that Daniel Wu was an undercover agent, so as to test whether he was also an undercover agent.
Daniel Wu was forced to injure Yugari Oshima, and Yugari Oshima was immediately killed by the Black Fist group, but they told Daniel Wu that Yugali Oshima was injured by him and died, which deepened the guilt and mental pressure in Daniel Wu's heart.
Shen Zhenghui pressed Daniel, continued to win big wins, and was absorbed as a VIP customer by the Black Boxing Group. The VIP customers of the Black Fist Group are a group of wealthy people who are very empty and bloodthirsty and seek pleasure from other people's life-and-death fights, and the gambles between VIP customers are bigger and the fights are more bloody.
According to Oshima Yugali's hints before his death, Daniel Wu found out that her boss Billy Zhou was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, so when he was listed as a must-die by the Black Boxing Group to participate in the VIP boxing match, he deliberately challenged Billy Zhou as a manager. Billy Chow sent the Muay Thai king to fight Daniel, claiming that he would have a chance to challenge himself if he won the battle, and Shen Zhenghui bet heavily on Daniel to win.
But the Muay Thai king easily killed Daniel, and Shen Zhenghui continued to press Wu Jin to be able to kill the Muay Thai king.
So one of the two most popular fights in the overall situation, Wu Jin vs. Tony, this fight lasted nearly ten minutes, on a vast occasion, Wu Jin and Tony Jia used their respective styles to try to defeat their opponents, after a tenacious fight, Wu Jin defeated Tony Jia, but he himself was injured Yan zhòng.
At this time, Billy Zhou stood up and revealed Wu Jin's identity as an undercover agent of the Big 6 Public Security and wanted to kill him.
But the VIP customers who gambled on the spot didn't care and continued to bet on Billy Zhou and Wu Jin to fight empty-handed.
Shen Zhenghui even pressed the heavy bet on Wu Jin to win.
Billy Chow had no choice but to play empty-handed.
Well. After another brutal battle, Wu Jin killed Billy.
The boss who sat in the village lost and went crazy on the spot, and asked Tony, the Muay Thai king who had risen again, to kill Wu Jin. The Big 6 side has all the evidence of the crime of the boss who sits in the bank, froze his assets in the Big 6 and reported it to other countries. The other VIP customers left separately, and Shen Zhenghui finally stayed to watch the play.
Tony Jia directly killed his boss, and at this time Shen Zhenghui applauded and praised Tony Jia's acting skills.
Wu Jin was stupid on the spot and was rescued by the public security officers who came to support later.
In this film, Shen Zhenghui deliberately blurs his position, making everyone guess that he may be the guy who wants to eat black and finally control the gambling group, or he may also be the power to secretly help the protagonist. Because at the beginning, when the superiors explained the task to Wu Jin, they said. There are people of their own who will help them secretly.
This fuzzy treatment leaves room for imagination and at the same time facilitates the filming of a sequel. Because in Shen Zhenghui's setting, an independent gambling group is not established, and the actual gambling group is controlled by VIP customers. VIP customers can take turns to act as the banker. As long as the VIP customer saves zài. The whole gambling syndicate will not die. Although Billy Week has a very high status in the gambling group and is one of the important eyeliners of the gambling group, it is in the eyes of VIP customers. His role is nothing more than a dog to beat.
The whole film faithfully expresses the supremacy of capital and the alienation of people under capital, and according to Shen Zhenghui's own ideas, it will be a film that is both good-looking and connotative, mainly depending on whether the actual shooting level can carry this theme.
The three new girls in the crew plus Fujido Xiangcheng, as well as several disciples of the Yuan family class and Gao Fei, the table of these supporting roles, is interspersed with the black fist fight scenes between the supporting characters or between them and the protagonist, which is used to show the scenes and cruelty of the black fist, and most of the supporting characters end up being injured or hung up directly.
In the end, there is an emotional drama, Shen Zhenghui thought about it, and arranged Zhang Zhizhi as Yugali Oshima's sister, so that she and Daniel fell in love for five minutes. Specifically, Daniel felt that he had killed Yugali Oshima, went to her house to confess and met her sister Zhang Zhizhi, and then the two of them appeared together with the message left by Yugali Oshima and realized that Billy was behind it.
It's not easy to squeeze in these five minutes, but some things still have to be closed after all. However, this scene is very simple, and the filming location is in Japan, so Zhang Zhizhi only needs to take a week or so to finish filming in Japan. Because of these five minutes, Shen Zhenghui was stunned and saw that the relationship between Yongsheng and himself had inexplicably become a lot closer, and Mrs. Xiang had already called herself her friend.
I don't know if that's a good thing.
After filming a simple scene in Hong Kong, the crew went to Pengcheng again, and it happened that Stephen Zhou's crew was filming the scene of the final game in Yangcheng, and the scene of the "Black Fist" crew in Big 6 was quite simple, Shen Zhenghui took a trip to Stephen Zhou's crew after filming Wu Jin's scene in Big 6, and by the way to see how Miyamoto was doing.
When I arrived at the scene, I observed the way Stephen Zhou filmed, and one word - tired. Miyamoto ran around like a dog, taking the initiative to convey Stephen Chow's request to every actor on the spot, holding a loudspeaker, almost shouting at the top of his voice, the only good thing was that his spoken Cantonese and Mandarin had improved a lot. Stephen Chow's demands were too high, and he asked for a rework and reshoot of any flaws on set. Shen Zhenghui felt that he was simply too good to talk when he was present, and at the same time he shed tears for the actors under Stephen.
But Miyamoto seems to be addicted to abuse, and he looks radiant. According to his own words, this high standard of requirements is the attitude of real filmmaking. It seems that compared to Takeshi Kitano, Stephen Zhou still has some gaps.
Stephen Zhou thought that Shen Zhenghui was here to supervise the progress, but in fact he was not. Shen Zhenghui has considerable confidence in Stephen Zhou's film, and he himself has no interest in pointing fingers. As a film with a profound Zhou style, Shen Zhenghui has no idea of getting involved, but he has given Stephen Zhou a lot of advice in other aspects.
For example, he should find a few more assistant directors and give his requirements to the assistant director to fulfill, otherwise, he himself will be too tired. Even if you have a strong desire to control, it is not this kind of work method, and if you train the assistant director, it will be much easier for you, even if you don't want an assistant director, you can ask the senior actors to help more. This is how Shen Zhenghui himself uses Yugali Oshima and Billy Zhou and others, and all the actors work part-time as martial arts instructors. The martial arts movements of the Japanese sword of the crane dance were all made by Wu Jin and Yuan Xiangren in a consultation.
The director should use guò others to convey his meaning to the actors. It's really not good to go back to yourself. Of course, Shen Zhenghui said a lot, but I don't know how much Stephen Zhou listened to. He himself is a stubborn and not good communicator, and what he can listen to is remembered in his heart.
On the other hand, Stephen Zhou is interested in Shen Zhenghui's action movies, his idol since childhood is Bruce Lee, and he is most proud of his kung fu. Shen Zhenghui showed him the scene of martial arts in the original film when he communicated in the evening. Stephen Chow watched very seriously, almost staring at it.
After reading it, he fell into deep thought, and when Shen Zhenghui asked him if he had any opinions, he said vaguely that it was very good, and then seemed a little absent-minded.
Shen Zhenghui felt as if he had tugged at a certain heartstring in Stephen Zhou's heart. So he talked a lot about his original intentions and the experience of shooting action movies. Stephen Chow listened very carefully. Miyamoto, who sat with him, asked from time to time. In the end, Shen Zhenghui and Miyamoto discussed, but Stephen Zhou sat alone and looked like a thinker.
However, after such a conversation, Stephen Zhou seemed more familiar with Shen Zhenghui when he faced him, and he was able to talk to Shen Zhenghui normally. Shen Zhenghui asked him when the movie would be released.
"It's probably going to be in May next year." Stephen Zhou replied. "It's going to take about a month to shoot on my side. The post-production zuò or something can probably be done before the year. It will take time to talk to the theater company about something. ”
Spirited Away's release in May could still avoid Spirited Away in Japan, but if it were a little later, it would be a good option to postpone it until before the 2oo2 World Cup. These can be talked about until the film is filmed, so Shen Zhenghui didn't say much.
After a short stay in Pengcheng and Yangcheng (Shen Zhenghui didn't even go back to his home), the crew immediately flew to Japan to shoot some scenes. Zhang Zhizhi came out of Hong Kong to meet the crew in Japan.
Zhang Zhizhi's appearance in this week's time is very professional. She didn't take the opportunity to be very close to Shen Zhenghui, and she didn't play a big name, so she was very proud. She gets along very well with the people in the crew, and she even worked hard to learn Japanese for a while just to be able to communicate with several young Japanese actresses, this famous actress promoted by Stephen Chow, and can even be regarded as one of the outstanding actresses in Hong Kong's post-8o generation, as the most promising actress who continues to succeed Hong Kong's jade girl status, her performance is very low-key.
Even Fujitang Xiangcheng was surprised, and said to Shen Zhenghui in private, "I thought she wouldn't get along well with her with such a background." ”
"You also have a great background!"
"Nonsense, what is my background?"
"Don't you know the president?"
Fujitang Xiangcheng immediately understood that Shen Zhenghui was sneering at himself.
Of course, Zhang Zhizhi is not the first time to come to Tokyo, and she has also stayed in Tokyo for a short time when she made a cameo in "Tokyo Raiders" before. When I arrived in Japan, Yugari Oshima, who had not returned to Japan for a long time, took the girls shopping with great interest, Fujido Xiangcheng was sent by Shen Zhenghui as a landlord to entertain them well, the little girls' scenes were relatively small, and Zhang Zhizhi's scenes were filmed in only three days, and she just continued to use the rest of the time as a vacation.
Daniel's role in Japan was also filmed, and the tall, handsome, and calm actor was dragged by a group of girls to go shopping together, especially Tsurumai and Asakura, who almost unabashedly expressed their intentions like high school students, leaving the somewhat shy Daniel to parry. Zhang Zhizhi has a rather lively posture of watching from the sidelines. Yugali Oshima and they are also happy to see this kind of thing, Huang Yuxin is still quite melancholy, she has very few roles in the play, she was beaten to death after a few minutes of appearance, and then she never appeared again, after the filming of the scene in Japan, she will go back to Taiwan to continue to star in idol dramas, this girl is reluctant to give up the opportunity to perform on the big screen.
The girls' scenes are of a relatively high standard, whether it is Zhang Zhizhi and Daniel Wu's literary drama or a group of little girls' martial arts, filming the little girls' shorter action scenes first is considered to warm up for Yuan Xiangren and their action directors, Shen Zhenghui put the two most important fight scenes at the back to shoot, also out of the consideration of excellence. During this time, it was surprising that a paparazzi from Hong Kong chased them to Japan, probably targeting Zhang Zhizhi, and by the way, Daniel Wu also took the opportunity to become popular. Because of the intimate confrontation with Zhang Zhizhi, it began to spread in Hong Kong for a while that the news that Daniel Wu and Zhang Zhizhi fell in love while filming in Japan. The bigwigs naturally smiled indifferently when they saw it, but the citizens in the market were tired of this kind of gossip, so they took this opportunity to get another opportunity to promote Shen Zhenghui's new film.
Because the casino of the VIP customers set by Shen Zhenghui was on a ship on the high seas, the final scene was filmed on a rented boat, and at this time, the scenes of the other supporting roles were over, leaving only a few protagonists and supporting roles in the final scene.
So when Shen Zhenghui saw Mitsumi Fukuda on the rented boat, he was extremely surprised.
"Why are you here? Are you done with your business? ”
"Of course, the results of the phase." Mitsumi Fukuda stood on a high place and looked down on the crew members who were preparing and the male and female protagonists who were on the boat, and they would stay on this ship until the filming of the scene on the ship was finished, at least for three days, "I didn't see Zhang Zhizhi, is she already gone?" ”
"I left the day before yesterday, and the scene was already filmed." Shen Zhenghui replied.
"Ah, what a pity!" The corners of Mitsumi Fukuda's mouth pulled out a amplitude. (To be continued!)
