Chapter 055: Pre-rehearsal test shooting

………

After the crew of "Tang Detective" gathered in southern Thailand, they did not start the film immediately, but relaxed for a few days.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and gave the crew three days to let everyone take a good look at the scenery of Bangkok and try the local flavors.

When the team is big, it is difficult to lead, rather than when filming, the big guy looks at the attractions in the distance absent-mindedly, it is better to do it first and play first.

It wasn't until April 30 that the crew started filming in the three small buildings they rented.

The shooting was planned for three months, from the end of April to the beginning of August.

The first scene is in a small private workshop not far from the crew's residence.

Songpa Workshop!

The first scene of the workshop is a group play with medium-sized scenes.

There are many actors, and there are fights, and if you want to shoot smoothly, you have to run in and rehearse in advance.

The first shot is very simple.

Huang Langden, played by Deng Chao, sits in a van with a group of police officers and is monitoring the Songpa workshop.

The subordinates were lying drowsy in the car, snoring, and Huang Langdon couldn't bear it.

He picked up a yellow paper bag of oil cakes and blew it into a balloon.

Bang!

Several subordinates were awakened, and Huang Langden took them out of the car and went straight to the Songpa workshop.

"Come, let's try to shoot a set of shots first, starting with Brother Chao and Brother Bo."

Seeing that they had almost done the drill, Fang Ziheng picked up the small horn and sat in front of the monitor and shouted.

"No problem, Director!"

"The road, the film, the actors, each in place!"

"The eighth scene, two shots, one time, start!"

It was not necessary to use film for test shooting, and Fang Ziheng did not use the newly bought digital camera, and went directly to the digital camera.

With his order, the long street fell silent.

The van was parked on the side of the road, fifty meters away from the Songpa workshop, and Deng Chao's eyes were empty, staring at the dark workshop diagonally opposite.

Syllable!

The paper balloon was suddenly shot, and the seven-member team of Deng Chao and Huang Bo got out of the car and ran wildly towards the workshop in an offensive formation.

Other police officers on both sides of the road who had been arranged in advance also gathered around the corner of the street.

"Hmm!"

Fang Ziheng glanced at it a few times, shook his head and smiled.

Getting off is too slow.

The ranks are too scattered and there is no police discipline.

The movement of holding a gun is not standard, and many people can't even pull out their guns.

It's too loose!

Fang Ziheng did not interrupt the performance, but gestured to the two camera positions on the third and fourth cameras, and asked the photographer to focus the camera on Deng Chao and Huang Bo.

In this group of shots, they are the protagonists, and everyone else is a supporting role, cooperating with them.

"Click!"

It wasn't until everyone broke into Songpa's workshop and all the shots were filmed that Fang Ziheng shouted to stop and called Deng Chao and Huang An over.

He was not polite, pointed to the monitor and said, "You guys take a look for yourself first, find out what is wrong, and I'll listen to your summary later."

As he spoke, he came to the other side, and Xiao Yang and a large group of people were waiting for him.

In order to film "Detective Chinatown", Fang Ziheng not only asked Wen Muye to be his deputy, but also specially selected three experienced senior brothers from the company to be the assistant directors of this play.

Pre-show, test shooting, and when he starred himself, these four people can be responsible for filming and shouting 'click'!

When he came to Xiao Yang, Fang Ziheng walked around him twice, looked at his joyful outfit and smiled: "How is it, are you nervous?"

"I wasn't nervous, but when you said it, I was really a little panicked." Xiao Yang touched the exposed white belly and said with a bitter face.

"Very good, it's this cheap expression, Xiao Yang, you keep it, when you quarrel with Huang Langden, there are two shots that need to be shown."

Xiao Yang: "........."

I'm complaining, not cheap!

Fang Ziheng didn't look at his bewildered little eyes, turned to the leader of the second group of the photography group and said, "When you can shoot Xiao Yang when you appear, remember to shoot from the bottom to the top, starting from the toes and going all the way to the end."

"Understood, Director!"

After explaining it here, Fang Ziheng watched the rehearsal twice and returned to the gate of the workshop.

At this time, Xiao Yang's acting skills are not very good, but he is very good at grasping the essence of the role and knows how to give full play to his advantages.

'Quintiles' is cheap and greasy, but it is not annoying, but it makes people feel that this character is naturally funny.

In addition, Xiao Yang's figure has not been out of shape, except for being a little less greasy, the other character characteristics are currently okay, and he will not act.

He said that he was nervous, Fang Ziheng didn't believe it, and it was not the first time he had acted, and he had already filmed a short film.

Returning to the director's seat, Fang Ziheng unscrewed the milky white teacup in front of him, and Mei Zizi took a sip of the throat-moistening jasmine tea that Sister Lin prepared for him.

Tea is not unique to him, several leading actors have a share, after all, this drama is very throat-consuming.

Closing the cup, Fang Ziheng looked at Deng Chao and Huang Bo who were muttering and discussing on the side, and said, "The problems have been discovered, do it again?"

"Come on, better come a few more times!"

Deng Chao and Huang Bo rubbed their hands, and the drama addiction was hooked.

The two of them still don't believe it, and they can be stumped at the beginning.

Test shooting continues!

This time, Fang Ziheng didn't let them stop after the performance, and as soon as he found a problem, he shouted 'click' directly and walked over to tell them the play.

has the background of the original drama, coupled with the fact that he personally wrote and refined the plot, he is not familiar with "Detective Chinatown".

Deng Chao and Huang Bo did not disappoint him, after a short period of stuckness, they quickly captured the characteristics of the characters, and the next test shooting went smoothly, and the expressions and movements of the two were in place.

Soon, the plot came to the scene of the confrontation between Huang Langden and Kuntai!

Fang Ziheng walked between the two teams, arranged the positions of the leading actors and group performers, and said loudly: "Brother Chao, Xiao Yang, wait for the tone and attitude of the two of you to gradually exaggerate, from ridicule to anger, from calm dialogue to fierce quarrels, you have to grasp the degree and cooperate with each other well."

"Brother Bo, you have to take a guy in your hand, and when you find that the sound on the other side is too loud and you can't suppress it here, then smash the guy in your hand to the opposite side and cause a fight!"

"Understood!"

The three of them answered, making an OK gesture.

Huang Bo looked left and right, picked up a thumb-thick, one-foot-long steel pipe on the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, knocked it, shook his head and threw it away.

Then, he took out an arm-thick piece of wood from the corner of the workshop, walked over to Xiao Yang, raised his arm and made a few hammer movements.

Xiao Yang looked stunned, and scolded scoldly: "Tony, are you crazy?"

Let you find a light guy, I didn't let you find a material stick or an iron rod, believe it or not, I will teach you to be a man in minutes. ”

"Wow, Kunsir, I'm so scared!"

Huang Bo smiled evilly and walked towards the kitchen of the workshop with the wood.

Fang Ziheng stood under the door of the workshop, ignoring the two of them, but fell into a short period of contemplation.

Wrong...

I remember that Tony threw milk tea in the movie!

He looked at Xiao Yang and found that the other party didn't have a single hair in his hand.

...

I almost forgot!

"Props, go buy some milk tea..."

Fang Ziheng turned around, waved his hand and shouted that the props were working.

However, before he finished speaking, he was dragged by three beautiful figures on the road.

Tree-lined and empty roadside.

Concubine Lin and Liu Qianqian, once separated from the three of them, each wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts, walked towards the workshop with a smile and a smile.

Bai Huahua's long legs almost blinded Fang Ziheng.
