Volume 2 32: "Pingyuan Street" Boot (1)
A month later, "Pingyuan Street" was launched, this time it was just a simple worship ceremony, selected at the gate of a hotel on Pingyuan Street, only more than 100 people such as the main creator and investor participated, and the media was not invited, and there were some local residents watching next to them, most of them were holding their mobile phones to take pictures, Chen Ruifeng and the main supporting actors stood in the back three rows, Chen Xue and Hua Ge were waiting next to them.
Director Lin of this drama is very famous in the action movie circle, many of his masterpieces are mostly police and gangster films, and he has won the Best Director of the Film Awards many times, and he is comfortable with the control of explosions, gunfights, car chases, etc., and the team is also an experienced film team that has followed him for many years, and the requirements for actors are also very strict, and the other main actors have been trained for more than three months in the early stage, and Chen Ruifeng was the last to be selected, so he joined the group at the latest, only one month of training.
The male protagonist is a well-known tough guy actor in the circle, a martial arts athlete, a famous work "Boxer", became famous in a fight, and has been acting in action scenes since then, and is a man with resolute eyes. The heroine is a newcomer, filming for the first time, I heard that she was selected from the Military Art Art Troupe, and has a deep foundation in dance.
The story of "Pingyuan Street" is simple, taking place in the border town of Pingyuan Town, where investigators Shi Yiyi and Wang Ping'an of the Armed Police Border Anti-Drug Special Operations Company disguised themselves as a couple to look for Si Chengye, the captain of the special combat team who was kidnapped by Ma Decai, the third-in-command of the big drug lord Lin Hongyi Group. The story was written by Director Lin based on real events and conceived for three years. Chen Ruifeng plays the male No. 2 Shi Tong, 23 years old, an intermediate non-commissioned officer, specialty: shooting, grappling and fighting, personality: overconfident and stubborn...... These are his summaries after reading the script.
After today's ceremony, the camera was turned on directly and the car chase scene was filmed - Shi Yitong and Wang Ping'an drove away the surveillance vehicle sent by Ma Decai, and this scene had to be filmed today. Compared with the hot car chase scenes of Lin Dao's previous police and gangster films, due to the restrictions of the local scene, the Toyota originally driven by Shi Yitong and Wang Ping'an was changed to Jiangling Bread, and the scene could not be popular. Director Lin, assistant director, and Wu Zhi (action director) drove and moved respectively, and the actors changed their costumes and wore protective equipment.
Chen Ruifeng's makeup and hair today: mustache, face full of black powder, wearing a pair of tawny contact lenses, sloppy to stinky long hair, gray shirt and black trousers, a pair of rotten leather shoes on his feet, a live bum. Standing in front of Chen Xue, she didn't dare to call her name for a long time, for fear of admitting her mistake, until she spoke.
"Brother Feng...... "Chen Xue doesn't know what to say." Be careful. "Looking at Chen Ruifeng, who was 'swollen' around, she was deeply worried, before the start of filming, she went to the Internet to watch a few scenes of Director Lin, and the hot car chase scenes in them made her heart tremble. When the audience experiences the thrill, the actor has to fight for his life, and she can't stand other actors, let alone her own family.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry, the crew's protection measures will definitely not be a problem, haven't you searched for Director Lin on the Internet? There was a problem in the morning news. Chen Feng comforted Chen Xue, her face was a little better, but her brows were not soothed, he had to wink at Brother Hua. Chen Xue, don't worry, the crew bought a huge amount of insurance for Brother Feng, it's okay!! Chen Xue gave him a wry smile, and Chen Ruifeng gave him a cold look.
"All departments prepare, test shooting!"
Director Lin, assistant director and Wu Zhi drove back, and as soon as they got out of the car, they recruited actors, Wu Ti and others to go over.
"Xiaoyu, put your heart in your stomach." Chen Ruifeng comforted Chen Xue again before going to the play, and patted her on the shoulder before leaving.
"It's okay, Director Lin's team is very professional, and they have also filmed dozens of action movies, and the protection measures for the actors must be in place." Chen Xue looked at Brother Hua's sincere and serious eyes, which made her feel better.
“action!”
Director Lin sat down behind the monitor, took out the walkie-talkie, and shouted to start.
The van rushed into the camera and didn't go far, and then a small car chased after it, and the car kept honking its horn to signal the van to stop on the side of the road, but the van did not stop, and from time to time overtook on the road mixed with people and vehicles, trying to get rid of the car.
There is only one main street in Pingyuan Town, built on a small hill, with fields near and mountains in the distance, with a population of 20,000 and a mixture of Han and Hui ethnic groups. The main street is lined with shops, banks, hotels, health clinics, farmers' markets, restaurants, and more, followed by residential buildings. Every morning, there are the most people who buy groceries and go to work, and in the afternoon, after school and after work, half of the adult men wear small white hats and women wear headscarves.
The van suddenly turned and drove into a small road, and melodious singing could be heard in the distance, and a large dome (mosque) came into view, where the crowd was gathering. The van sped up and rushed over, stopped outside the temple gate, and a man and a woman (Shi Yiyi, Wang Ping'an) ran out of the car and ran inside along the temple wall, undressing, taking off their hoods, and beards as they ran.
"Cards!"
Director Lin shook his head, his face expressionless, and called Chen Ruifeng and the others back. When the people arrived, they began to talk to them! Chen Xue watched the director gesture and foam, Chen Ruifeng listened very seriously, at this time he was holding a coat and a hood in his hands, sweat was flowing on his forehead, and the places where the sweat flowed left traces, and his black face seemed to have been scratched by fingernails.
Today, in order to shoot this car chase scene, the crew invited most of the residents in the town to do a group performance, and the assistant director was responsible for telling them the play.
"Brother Hua, what do you say Brother Feng is doing today?" Chen Xue recalled the filming of the TV series half a year ago, and Chen Ruifeng was scolded miserably that day. "In good shape!" Is it? Chen Xue asked in her heart, because the director's sudden serious expression made her a little afraid. Brother Hua was still not at ease when he saw her, so he had to shake his head.
Brother Hua saw the producer and producer come out together, said hello to Chen Xue, and went to find the producer and producer to brush up on their existence.
Chen Xue saw Chen Ruifeng and the actress get into the car again, this time the photographer was hung outside the car door and stepped on the heel of the roller skate, which made her stunned, but when the car drove up the slope, Director Lin shouted the card, and the van slowly drove back. Director Lin and the actor talked for a while, and the makeup artist made up the makeup for the actor and continued to shoot the same shot, so the same shot went back and forth for more than 20 times, and a morning passed.
Chen Ruifeng came back, drank a sip of water, and then went to film the scene from the slope to the entrance of the mosque, but he didn't even have time to eat.
The weather was hot and the temperature was high, Chen Xue was afraid that Chen Ruifeng would suffer from heat stroke, so she turned out the candy in her bag, opened all the water cups, and went to the pharmacy to buy Zhengqi liquid, and when Director Lin shouted, he rushed over and drank both the water and Zhengqi liquid. "What's in this water in Xiaoyu?" After drinking the two things, the strange taste in Chen Ruifeng's mouth was indescribably uncomfortable. "There is sugar in the water, I am afraid that if you sweat too much, it will cause low blood sugar, and the positive qi liquid is to relieve the heat."
"Xiaoyu, the assistant's work is getting easier and easier!"
