Chapter 14: The Grace of the Heavenly King (Part 3)
At 9:00 a.m., when Shao Yingying rushed to the downstairs of the building where he was filming his last scene, he took a special look at the left and right sides, and after watching this one, he smiled, the two sides of this building were exactly the same as the movie shots he had seen on the computer, with one side saying 'Wangpu Rental' and the other side 'Industrial-Commercial-Banking'.
When he arrived on the rooftop, the staff were ready, and the two heavenly kings were looking for a feeling in a corner of the rooftop without any attention, and everything seemed to be in order.
Shao Yingying didn't say anything, and he didn't go to Liang Chaowei to have a relationship with Wei Pan before leaving, but just waited quietly on the side, and at the same time, he glanced at the line book in his hand from time to time.
However, he didn't expect Liu Weiqiang, who had never had much communication with him, to come over at this time, and he smiled very friendly when he came to him.
"Mr. Shao, the last one, right?" Liu Weiqiang asked politely.
After the explanation of the Cantonese translator, Shao Yingying nodded and said, "Thank you Director Liu for taking care of you." β
"In fact, I have always seen Mr. Shao's efforts, including Mr. Shao's direct use of Cantonese to shoot that scene with Andy after Mr. Shao came, which shocked us."
Liu Weiqiang is talking about yesterday, last night when the crew filmed "Infernal Affairs", the case of the fake passport gang was cracked at the beginning, that is, Liu Dehua pretended to be a lawyer to deceive the phone number from the criminal, and the scene where the fake passport production den was determined by the phone number, there were a few dialogues between him and Andy Lau in that scene.
Shao Yingying shook his head and denied his efforts, and then said, "Yes, I'm an actor." β
In fact, that's what he thought. It's understandable that a mainland actor can't communicate in Cantonese when he goes to Xiangjiang to film, but you can't say lines in Cantonese. That's unforgivable. Can you go to Hollywood and continue to speak Chinese? Can't you? On the other hand, he doesn't look down on those actors who come to the mainland to act and speak Cantonese. I remember a time when I was watching a TV series on the computer, a Cantonese actor's lip sync obviously didn't match the dubbing, which was unprofessional. If you don't believe it, let him try it in Hollywood, even if he doesn't know English, he can memorize his lines in a short time.
Liu Weiqiang smiled and didn't continue the topic: "Your performance in the crew is very good, I will tell Wang Zhonglei about this." If there is any hope, I look forward to working together again. β
Shao Yingying was very quiet, neither on the pole, nor shirking: "I hope so." β
He came to Xiangjiang to learn other people's filming techniques and crew operations. Now that these two goals have been achieved, and a wish to be able to show his face on the big screen has been completed, as for whether he can continue to cooperate in the future, Shao Yingying is not looking forward to it. It's not that he hates the Xiangjiang crew, but after all, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is impossible for people to appreciate you on how to appreciate you just based on these scenes, and create a movie specifically for you, so let it be.
Liu Weiqiang is gone. Mai Zhaohui came over to exchange contact information, Shao Yingying treated Mai Zhaohui with a completely different attitude, but the good things that people helped say at the Dragon Knight Charity Dinner, if there were not these few words. Maybe Liu Weiqiang doesn't know who Shao Yingying is.
From the time he came to Xiangjiang to the time he was about to leave Xiangjiang, Shao Yingying only talked to four people in this circle, Huang Qiusheng, Liang Chaowei, Liu Weiqiang, and Mai Zhaohui. In these four conversations, except for chatting a little more with Huang Qiusheng, everyone else was on the same side. Not to mention the inseparability.
A moment later, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, and Shao Yingying were called to Liu Weiqiang's side. Liu Weiqiang and Mak Zhaohui talked about the play, one of them played Chen Yongren and the other played Liu Jianming, explaining the play while comparing and speaking, and even after explaining how to move and how to control the performance, they threw these three aside, and at this moment, that is, when this important scene really began.
When the crew made the last adjustment, Liu Weiqiang asked the three of them to finish the words and go through the scene again, and when the whole crew was completely ready, Liu Weiqiang shouted: "ACTION!! β
At this moment, it is already 10:00 in the morning, and it took an hour to prepare for this scene, which can be seen that Liu Weiqiang attaches great importance to this scene.
On the rooftop, Liu Dehua, who walked into the camera step by step, appeared in the sun, and the sun was so sunny that he had to squint to see everything in front of him, but this did not delay the filming.
βOKοΌβ
After Liu Dehua appeared on the stage, he performed the act of looking for Liang Chaowei's figure on the rooftop, and the sight of turning around several times to look for it explained to the audience what his first purpose was, and at this moment, the scene ended.
Why is it over?
Why not shoot the whole scene with one long shot?
The reason is very simple, just because there is no place on the roof of this building to hide, if Liang Chao is standing on the rooftop, Liu Dehua does not need to look for it at all, so that the scene behind Chen Yongren suddenly appears behind Liu Jianming and holds him up with a gun will become a joke.
Shao Yingying saw that no one in the entire crew moved at the end of the first shot, and everyone waited for Liang Chaowei to enter, and at this moment, filming started again without any break in between.
βACTIONοΌβ
The photographer squatted behind Liu Dehua, and Liang Chaowei pressed a gun against his waist for a second......
βOKοΌβ
The multi-directional photography method of connecting all the shots in the same scene with the position of the actor but through various scattered lenses is not uncommon in today's film industry, which can also be done in the mainland, but in the comparison between the two, the overall effect and the rhythmic picture shot by the photographer have to be different, who has made commercial films in Hong Kong have long become a mature industry, and the mainland has not had much time to develop.
After another shot passed, the next step was to shoot the main scene.
Christopher Du changed his position and began to shoot Liang Chaowei's body search shot of Andy Lau, as for the later scenes of pulling out guns and handcuffs in the movie, they were all added later, at least Shao Yingying did not find it in this scene.
When Liang Chaowei unloaded the bullets from Liu Jianming's pistol in a black leather coat with messy hair, Liu Dehua turned around and smiled evilly, the kind of shot that laughed in a joyless atmosphere that could instantly tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy from the folds on his face.
"Pretty good at it." Liu Dehua said this in a way that his body did not turn but only turned his head.
Liang Chaowei didn't give any emotion and said: "I have been in the police academy. β
Seeing Liu Dehua's hand, the back of his hand was handcuffed towards Wei. Liu Dehua looked ahead nonchalantly and said, "You undercover agents are really interesting, you always meet on the rooftop." β
"I don't seem to have you. I see the light. (I'm not like you, I see the light)"
Shao Yingying had a very strange feeling when he saw this. That is, Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau didn't play very hard, and the expressions on their faces were even more subtle, but now they are wrapped in a very strange emotion at the same time, and it just makes you unable to see the restraint, it seems that these two people are like this, they should be like this, and it is completely wrong to change the form of expression. This is much more difficult than squeezing the expression with a lot of effort, at least not everyone can make people feel emotions with a single look, but these two. Totally do.
This is a perception of the play, a feeling that the natural flow of emotions does not have to be acted, and it is already full of drama.
This feeling is wonderful for actors, they can't play without a good opponent, they can't act without a good script, and they can't even play the emotions that were wrong at that time.
When Shao Yingying saw this kind of performance, he realized that his acting skills are still far away, not to mention Liang Chaowei, who can be done in literary and commercial films, even if he has always been known for his hard work, when it comes to acting, Liu Dehua, who will be put behind Liang Chaowei and Liang Jiahui by many fans, needs at least ten years of skill to reach the current state of others.
"What do I want?" Liang Chaowei let the wind blow from the rooftop ruffled his hair. A face clearly showed that he didn't care under the camera, but at this moment, Shao Yingying could see that he would not give up if he didn't send Liu Jianming to the judicial organ completely, because his gaze was too ruthless, and he didn't care about any direction at all except Liu Dehua's eyes.
"You may not bring anything I want."
Liu Dehua was a little cautious. The ease on his face disappeared, and it was completely manifested in the subtleties, at least in Shao Yingying's opinion. Liu Dehua's change in this scene did not change much in his expression. However, the atmosphere has completely changed.
Liang Chaowei smiled. There was nothing in the smile, and it was almost like hearing a joke: "So what is it now?" Come up and bask in the sun? β
Hold your breath a little. Liu Dehua once again performed a low-voiced begging attitude through different tones: "Give me a chance." β
"How do you give it a chance?"
Liang Chaowei didn't ask a question when he said this, his eyes were always fixed on Liu Dehua, and there was no need to say that he had to be nailed to death; This sentence is like a kind of banter, a game before cat and mouse.
"I didn't have a choice, I want to be a good person now." Liu Dehua still retains a glimmer of hope.
In the close-up, Liang Chaowei nodded slightly and said, "Okay, tell the judge, see if he lets you be a good person." β
"That's going to kill me."
Liang Chaowei said mockingly: "I'm sorry, I'm a bad person." β
"Who knows?" The words of a line immediately pulled back the scales that had been completely tilted to Liang Chaowei's side, and the two superstars used a performance form without too many expressions to move everyone who filmed this scene all the time. Who doesn't know that Liang Chaowei's biggest wish in addition to catching the black = police is to restore his identity, but this sentence can wipe out everything about Chen Yongren.
These lines are classics in Shao Yingying's opinion, and almost every one of these lines can be used as an ending sentence, as long as any sentence is erased from the end, the ending will change.
Liang Chaowei raised his gun a little fiercely in an instant, Shao Yingying swore that if he hadn't seen this movie, he really didn't know what the ending would be, because since the moment the two superstars stepped onto the rooftop, the balance has been swinging left and right for a long time, and in the end, who can win has become a complete suspense.
"Cards!"
"Shao Yingying, enter."
That's right, the camera is over again, because this scene can't be a long shot.
Shao Yingying walked out of front of the monitor and climbed all the way to the top of the rooftop, and when the director's 'ACTION' sounded again, he rushed out without hesitation.
"Don't move, send !!!"
Shao Yingying held the gun high, and in front of him was the shot of Liang Chaowei changing his position and pointing the gun at Liu Dehua and circling behind him.
"PUT DOWN THE GUN AND LET LIU SIR GO."
Shao Yingying did not show Lin Jiadong's hesitation in the original movie, he stood on the rooftop very calmly.
Since there is a big -B confession in the later scene that he has helped Liu Jianming destroy the evidence, then at this time, big -B should not be hesitant, he has already made up his mind to continue to follow Liu Jianming, how can there be a flicker in his eyes, how can the hand holding the gun still tremble?
"Your head is Han Chen's undercover agent." Liang Chaowei broke the news directly to the unknown Shao Yingying, which proved that it was impossible for him to let Liu Jianming go, and it was impossible for Huang SIR to die: "The evidence is in my hands, and I will only talk about it when I return to the museum." β
Shao Yingying looked at the other party for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Put down the gun, put down the gun immediately!" β
He showed his confined teeth by raising his lips to speak, it was ruthless, and he had already made up his mind to kill Chen Yongren's ruthlessness!
Liang Chaowei was still explaining: "I called the police. β
"Why should I believe you?" Shao Yingying showed not disbelief at all, but kept aiming at the direction where Chen Yongren might show his head in the crosshairs, and at this second, he believed that any viewer could see what he was going to do from the connected shots.
"You don't have to trust me." Liang Chaowei grabbed Liu Dehua with one hand, and hit Liu Dehua's neck with a gun in the other, and the two immediately moved forward.
Shao Yingying did not retreat, not a single step back.
Liu Weiqiang didn't expect Shao Yingying's expressiveness to be so strong, although in terms of acting skills, there is still a gap between him and the two superstars that can be seen at a glance, and he can't even use intonation and micro-expressions to show the character's heart, but this understanding of the plot before and after can connect the previous and the next The performance mode has a unique charm. From now on, Liu Weiqiang has more or less a good impression of Shao Yingying, very simple, and likes the way he acts, but this is Shao Yingying's last scene, maybe fate stops here.
βOKοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
When Liu Weiqiang shouted out the end of this shot, Shao Yingying had completely finished all his tasks in Xiangjiang, but no one said goodbye to him, everyone hurried past him to prepare for the next shot, only Liang Chaowei glanced at him with a smile.
That's right, Huang Qiusheng, who can say two sentences, is not there, Liang Chaowei is not good at words, he and Andy Lau have not yet made friends, Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang have to film the next scene, so be it, so be it......
Goodbye, Xiangjiang. (To be continued......)
