Volume 1 Chapter 276 The Battle of ATV

There were a few noises from the walkie-talkie in his hand from time to time, but Lin Xiaozhi didn't pay attention to it, still staring intently at the bright lights ahead

This is a remote station of the Kowloon Metro in Hong Kong, because after eight o'clock, there are almost no people coming and going here, so New Asia negotiated with the Kowloon Metro Company in advance to arrange the filming of a scene in the movie here.

In the shot, Leon, the actor played by Liu Dehua, put on a pair of sunglasses, walked over from the platform neatly and alertly, stopped next to a nearby coin-operated telephone, and dialed a number.

"Much better than before"

Lin Xiaozhi was satisfied, after more than two months of continuous training, Liu Dehua's acting skills have improved a lot compared to before. Although from the perspective of him, who has come over, he is still a little stiff and not smart enough, but he can also express the image of the role that Lin Xiaozhi wants him to play.

A male voice suddenly came out of the intercom, and he quickly picked it up and put it to his lips.

"Hey ......"

"Lin Sheng, the call came, do you want to continue?"

"Well, don't stop, I find that this will be a good feeling."

Staring at Liu Dehua intently, Lin Xiaozhi rubbed his temples, wanting to relieve the fatigue of his body

On the other side of the walkie-talkie was Lan Naicai, who was in another room not far away, directing another group of cameras to shoot.

A few days ago, they had finished filming one of the three most difficult scenes in the entire movie, when Leon and his new team managed to steal information about the "Red Alert scheme" from the CIA. What they are filming today is that the CIA detected who stole their information through a little clue, so they ordered the arrest of Leon's parents, and made a big report on TV, forcing him to show up

Leon saw a TV report in the hotel that when his parents were arrested for being framed for drug trafficking, he was furious and didn't listen to the persuasion of the heroine, and secretly ran out to call the CIA to warn them not to touch his parents, but accidentally bumped into his old boss 'Hagrid, who he thought was dead a long time ago,.

This scene was not difficult to film, and it was not necessary to use two sets of cameras to shoot at the same time. However, in order to be in a hurry, Lin Xiaozhi hopes that this movie can be released in time for this year's summer vacation, so for some insignificant secondary plots, he doesn't mind giving power to Lan Naicai a little to speed up the filming of the movie, anyway, a little incoherence can be completed through editing in the later stage.

Another main reason why Lin Xiaozhi made such a decision is that he is very confident in the actor who is responsible for the starring role in another scene. The portrayal of several CIA characters in the original work is not good enough, and it must be said that Lao Mei also chose to cut the IQ of the supporting characters in order to shape the protagonist into an excellent agent with first-class IQ and means. In the whole movie, the bullish CIA in reality, in the hands of the original director and screenwriter, seems a little incompetent and mediocre.

was first tricked by the methods of the defected Hagrid and others, and then was tricked by the protagonist to steal the information that should have been classified as top secret from the headquarters from a few people.

Xu is because he has watched too many movies, and Lin Xiaozhi is also worried that this kind of plot of setting off the great protagonist by lowering the other party's IQ will be criticized by some fans after the movie is released in the future. So when he overhauled the script before the filming of the movie, he made some changes to the script, such as weakening the presence of the white intelligence officer in the movie, and especially creating a first-class Chinese intelligence officer in terms of IQ and means, and this role that he set as the deputy director of the Asian Department of the CIA, he invited ATV pillar Liu Songren to star

Liu Songren was born in Hong Kong in 1949 and was admitted to the 5th Artist Training Class of Yingsheng TV in Hong Kong in 1971. After graduating the following year, he joined Hong Kong Li's TV station and starred in many dramas. In 1976, he signed a contract to join TVB, performed many TV series, and signed a contract to return to Li's TV in 19RU after filming "Jinghua Spring Dream". After that, he went back and forth to TVB and ATV several times to shoot dramas, and finally was signed with a large amount of money to become the pillar of ATV when Qiu Degen became the owner of ATV, and he is a huge screen superstar in Hong Kong and even the whole of Taiwan.

Of course, these are not the reasons why Lin Xiaozhi finally chose him. When Liang Jiahui was invited to play the leading role, when he learned that he had taken on a new play, Lin Xiaozhi was originally going to give Liang Jiahui this role that did not have many scenes. But when he went to ATV that day to prepare for the selection of the crew, he accidentally met Liu Songren in the parking lot, and when he saw him for the first time, a movie suddenly flashed in Lin Xiaozhi's head, which was "Tokyo Trial" that Liu Songren had starred in in later generations. The image of Chinese judge Mei Ru portrayed by Liu Songren in this movie left him so impressed that the moment he saw him, Lin Xiaozhi decided that this role would be given to Liu Songren.

He didn't encounter any trouble signing Liu Songren, Lin Baixin is his uncle, the entire ATV is now owned by the Lin family, and Liu Songren's invitation to him only agreed with a little groaning, and he didn't even have a salary problem with him at all. It is true that he is the pillar of ATV, but he rarely appears in movies, and his value is not too high, he has starred in several movies before, and his salary is around 300,000 yuan, which belongs to the kind of salary between the third and second lines in the film industry. However, Lin Xiaozhi was not stingy in these places, and gave a salary of 400,000 yuan as soon as he made a move, and he also hoped to cooperate more in the future. And the salary of 400,000 yuan is obviously much lower than the 600,000 yuan he prepared for Liang Jiahui before.

"Hey, CIA Asia Division, who are you looking for?"

"Don't pretend to me, William Liu. Did you guess I'd be calling? ”

By connecting to a monitor in another shooting room next to him, Lin Xiaozhi can clearly see the conversation over there. Although two sets of cameras were used at the same time, they were edited in post-production, merging several sets of shots shot separately together.

In the monitor, when Liu Songren heard the voice on the other side of the phone, he immediately took the phone away and whispered to a subordinate standing next to him: "Immediately investigate the source of the phone thoroughly"

Then he moved the phone over and said, "So, you saw the TV before?" ”

In the shot, Liu Songren, who was dressed in dark blue thin clothes, had a slight smile on his face, and in the script, Lin Xiaozhi portrayed this 'deputy director of the CIA's Asia Department' into a wise and almost demonic image. At first, when Hagrid and the others were wiped out, it was he who first noticed the oddity and asked his boss that he should not be so hasty to identify the protagonist Leon as a traitor. And with the theft of classified information, he, who was not taken seriously earlier, has finally received the attention of the CIA's top brass and has begun to take over the handling of his agency's agent defection, incident.

"After putting my parents in prison, I guessed that you were definitely the one who could do this, do I want to congratulate you and congratulate you on your promotion?"

Ignoring the sarcasm in the words of the actor Leon played by Liu Dehua, Liu Songren still had a warm smile on his face, "Can I take this as a blessing?" ”

As soon as the camera shifted, behind Liu Songren, several men sitting in front of the computer were exposed, "Sir, it will take thirty seconds"

Looking at the monitor, Lin Xiaozhi's face was a little strange.

“t”

He first shouted a pause to stop Liu Dehua and their side from shooting.

"It's not our problem"

Seeing Liu Dehua turn around and look at him with a tangled expression, Lin Xiaozhi made an OK gesture, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Lan Sheng, just now this group turned to shoot the footage of a few agents working on documents in front of the computer. ”

Feeling that his hair had been neglected a little, he scratched his scalp and looked tangled.

"Although we don't know any technical skills, filming is also to fool the audience. However, in the scene that should have flashed by just now, the scene in which udhaPIar was being used in the computer to pretend was likely to be discovered by some attentive viewers when it was released in Europe and the United States. You tell the photographer that this set of shots flashes by, don't stay on the computer."

New Asia Films doesn't have its own special effects processing team, and not many people even know how to use computers. So in this scene, where the computer is used to remotely track down the origin of the protagonist's phone, they can only pretend to shoot it speciously.

Pretending to be udhaPIar, this proposal was only made by Lan Nai, and he was only stunned when he heard this, and then agreed with a wry smile.

"Okay, really no, in post-processing, I'll find a few friends who are proficient in computers, and let's make up a set of specious shots."

Lin Xiaozhi thought about it and felt that the possibility of using udhaPIar to wear goofs was still too high, so he nodded and agreed to take a set of shots in the later stage.
