Chapter 204: It's Officially Launched!
Three days later, the entrance of the Mara Hotel in the City of Light was particularly bustling.
The black crowd blocked the water around the entrance of the hotel.
A crowd of fans, as well as reporters from various media, were all blocked at the door, which was extremely noisy.
"Don't mess around, everyone! Don't squeeze!"
The security guards were nervously maintaining order at the scene, and they were already sweating profusely at this time.
While everyone was in a hurry, a business car drove up from a distance and stopped in front of the hotel.
Several bodyguards came down and opened the back door of the car.
Andy Lau wore a black casual suit and sunglasses and walked down from inside.
Suddenly, there was a cheer in the crowd.
In the next half hour, Liang Chaowei, Chen Xi, and Wu Yu arrived in their own cars, causing a burst of shouts from time to time.
After they got out of the car, they were escorted by bodyguards and walked into the hotel one after another.
After a while, Lin Yao and Zhao Guanghua came together and walked towards the hotel.
After everyone saw Lin Yao, who was like a tiger, they all gave way to it.
Lin Yao looked at the crowd of black presses, and couldn't help but sigh to Zhao Guanghua next to him:
"With so many people around, this formation is really big enough!"
"That's it! Today, several of the leading actors have arrived, and many fans have heard that their idols are coming, and some of them are here at six o'clock in the morning!"
"It's rare for so many actors and powerful actors to gather!"
Zhao Guanghua glanced at the emotional fans and said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two walked directly into the hotel conference room.
In the conference room, Andy Lau and a few people were sitting at the table, greeting each other.
"Brother Hua, it's been a long time! How's it going?"
"Well, it's good, I haven't seen you in a while, and I feel like you're handsome again!"
"Haha! Where is Brother Hua handsome!"
After a period of unnutritious greetings, Wu Yu took the lead in mentioning the shooting:
"In this shooting, the director is said to be a criminal police officer in their police system."
"Yes! And he is the screenwriter too."
Chen Xi also nodded and said,
"When they came to me at first, I didn't want to shoot it, after all, I didn't think the promotional video they made in-house was interesting, and the time of my concert was already set."
"But when I saw the script, I was immediately interested and thought it was very interesting."
"Yes, so do I."
Wu Yu immediately said,
"When I heard that I was a police officer who was coming to be a screenwriter and director, I didn't have much hope, so I thought about refusing it."
"But the leader repeatedly asked me to read the script first, and when I read it, I immediately agreed to shoot it."
"Well, so do I."
Liang Chaowei also nodded.
Subsequently, Chen Xi couldn't help but question:
"But when I came back, I muttered, is this script really like they say, was it written by this police officer?"
"It's not like buying a script and framing it first, right?"
Wu Yu couldn't help frowning:
"I also have this concern, if this is the case, he will definitely not be able to direct a layman, the frame is a small matter, the key is to waste such a good script!"
….
After listening to their words, Andy Lau immediately said:
"Don't say that, this police officer has experienced undercover firsthand, and he just wiped out a smuggling gang some time ago."
"Maybe this script is his own experience."
"This"
Liang Chaowei looked at Andy Lau and said:
"Did he create it based on himself?"
"Maybe that's fine."
Andy Lau nodded slightly and said.
As they discussed, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
They hurriedly raised their heads and looked towards the door.
Suddenly, a fierce man with a height of more than two meters, a fierce appearance, and a muscular body, like an ancient demon god, walked in directly.
Lin Yao was wearing a tight-fitting vest, and the Nine Dragons coffin totem tattoos were all over his body, which was particularly terrifying.
Andy Lau and the others stared at Lin Yao tightly, and the whole person was stunned.
They have been filming for so many years, and they have never seen such a fierce actor!
"Everyone, let me introduce, this is Comrade Lin Yao of the Fifth Serious Case Group of the Jiangcheng Criminal Police Team, and he is responsible for the filming task this time."
After Zhao Guanghua came in, he saw that everyone's eyes were stunned and speechless, so he hurriedly introduced with a smile.
After Zhao Guanghua finished speaking, everyone came back to their senses this time and greeted one after another:
"Hello, Officer Lin!"
"You wrote this script, right? It's so exciting!"
Lin Yao looked at them, a smile appeared on his fierce face, and he hurriedly said:
"You don't need to call Officer Lin, you can just call me Xiaolin."
"No, no, I should call you Director Lin."
"Yes, it's going to be called Director Lin!"
After some greetings, Lin Yao and Zhao Guanghua sat opposite them.
Andy Lau looked at Lin Yao, couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed:
"I kind of know why Director Lin was able to create such a wonderful script, you are a person with a story."
"yes!"
Wu Yu stared at Lin Yao and said,
"I usually play a villain enough momentum, but compared with Director Lin, I am not at the same level at all, and I am ashamed!"
"Director Lin, do you want to participate in this promotional film yourself?"
Chen Xi hurriedly asked,
"If you're playing a villain, isn't the protagonist under a lot of pressure?"
"Yes, if you play the villain, I'm afraid I'll be killed, haha!"
Andy Lau said with a smile.
Lin Yao also laughed twice, and then said:
"I'll see if I'm going to show up."
"Alright, let me tell you about our shooting mission."
Then, Lin Yao's face became serious, looked at them and said.
"Okay."
The others nodded.
So Lin Yao spoke:
"We are filming a promotional film about undercover agents this time, and everyone has already read the script, so everyone knows what kind of story it is."
"The trailer is expected to last three and a half hours, and three and a half hours to shoot these contents, it's actually a bit tight."
"I've been refining the script for the past few days."
When Lin Yao said this, everyone had shocked expressions.
….
"Director Lin, wait a minute, do you mean that our promotional video will last for three and a half hours?"
Wu Yu couldn't help but interrupt Lin Yao and asked in disbelief.
Lin Yao looked at him and nodded:
"That's right."
"This"
Several people immediately looked at each other.
They originally thought it was just a promotional video, and at most the feature film had a duration of 20 minutes.
But it turned out to be three and a half hours?!
I don't usually shoot such a long time for theatrical movies!
Lin Yao also saw their thoughts, so he explained:
"Everyone, you have read the script, there are so many stories in it, it would not be possible to show it without such a long duration."
"But. You can streamline it a bit."
Chen Xi immediately said,
"Shooting a film for such a long time,
It's going to take a long time! I've postponed a few concerts, and if I delay like this, I'll be ruined this year."
Lin Yao nodded slightly, he understood their thoughts very well.
Because among them, Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei directly starred in zero pay, while Chen Xi and Wu Yu only asked for a symbolic amount of salary.
If the shoot takes them a long time, they will definitely think about the income.
Without waiting for Lin Yao to speak, Andy Lau took the lead in saying:
"Director Lin, I support the length of time you said."
"Such a good script, if it is shoddy, rushes the schedule, and greatly cuts the script, it will ruin such a good script!"
"Even if you shoot for a whole year, I'll shoot with you! Including the salary, I also keep what I said before, don't pay a penny!"
Speaking of this, Andy Lau pursed his lips and continued,
"To tell you the truth, after I read this script, I was deeply moved, and there are some lines that touched me very much."
"I also understand the difficulty of your undercover police officers, so this can be regarded as a tribute to them!"
After Andy Lau finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Then Wu Yu shook his head directly and said:
"Brother Hua, I can't compare with you. In the past few years, I have almost spent all the money I earned, and I still have a wife and children waiting for me to raise at home."
"Although I asked for some remuneration for this play, it was only symbolic."
"If I don't have income for a year, I can't bear it!"
When Lin Yao heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said:
"I understand your concerns, but rest assured, this film won't be filmed for a year and a half."
"My estimate is to be done in a month and a half."
"A month and a half?!"
After Lin Yao finished speaking, several people present were startled at first, and then couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
Sure enough, it's a layman, and it's too easy to think about making movies!
If the filming is completed in a month and a half, how shoddy will this film be?
"Director Lin, filming is not as simple as you think, and a month and a half is definitely not enough."
Then, Andy Lau looked at Lin Yao and said,
"You don't have to compress the shooting time so much in order to catch up, it's not good to shoot."
"Well, I know in my heart, when the time comes, you will cooperate well, and I am confident."
….
Lin Yao said immediately.
Lin Yao said this with a certain certainty.
Because in his previous life, he watched "Infernal Affairs" more than a dozen times, and he treasured every shot in it.
Besides, there is also the blessing of expert director ability, so as long as they have good actors, it will be completed soon.
"Okay then."
Seeing Lin Yao swearing like this, everyone had no choice but to nod.
Wu Yu and the others have all thought about it, if the battle line drags on too long, they will find a way to get out.
"Director Lin, I haven't done anything in the past few days, and I've been studying the script all the time."
Seeing that the issue of shooting time had been discussed, Andy Lau looked at Lin Yao and said,
"I saw that the character I was going to play called Liu Jianming, and in the later stage, there would be schizophrenia and hallucinations."
"I think it's a challenge for me to perform."
"There may be a few more shots before I can pass it, so I'll tell you in advance."
Lin Yao looked at Andy Liu's serious expression and nodded.
An old actor like him, a powerful actor, has extremely high requirements for himself.
Immediately afterward, they discussed some scripted issues.
After the filming was confirmed, Zhao Guanghua arranged for several of them to rest in the hotel room.
For the rest of the filming, they will all stay in this Mara Hotel.
After their meeting, various media outlets published articles online.
announced the upcoming filming of the promotional film "Infernal Affairs".
Suddenly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and public opinion quickly fermented on the Internet!
"What? gathered several actors and so many powerful actors to shoot an undercover promotional film directed by a police officer?!"
"It is said that the duration of this promotional video will be three and a half hours!"
"Three-and-a-half-hour promotional video, what a joke! Even a movie that was released in the theater didn't last that long!"
"It takes him so long to make a promo video?"
"Alas, I'm probably going to be disappointed, I thought that so many celebrities and bigwigs gathered together, what kind of masterpiece was going to be made, but that's it?"
"I feel the same, this promo is definitely not interesting, it wastes this cast!"
Comments under the relevant information on the Internet are overwhelming.
Zhao Guanghua put these comments in front of the leader and said:
"Leader, now the news that we are going to shoot this promotional video has spread on the Internet, and the popularity is very high, and it is all on the hot search!"
The leader frowned, took a quick look, and then said:
"Originally, I filmed this promotional video and just wanted to broadcast it within our Jiangnan Provincial Police System."
"Now that Xiaolin is doing this, if this is not broadcast on the Internet, these netizens will not want to!"
Zhao Guanghua nodded again and again, and then said:
"Yes, leader. The main reason is that we have brought together so many star actors, and we can't keep a low profile if we want to."
"That's okay, wait until the time comes, shoot it out, and broadcast it directly on the whole network." But you must tell Xiaolin that you must shoot well, and you can't lose face to our Jiangnan Province!"
The leader nodded slightly and said immediately.
"Okay, don't worry, leader, I'll tell him!"
Then, Zhao Guanghua walked out.
Next, he began to prepare the materials needed by the crew.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
After the opening ceremony, the promotional video of "Infernal Affairs" officially started!
Scene I, Act I.
An unused meeting room in the city bureau.
The two cameras were pointed at Brother Chen, who was sitting at the conference table.
Brother Chen is played by Duan Wei, Duan Wei is not tall, and he is slightly fat, but the momentum exuded from his body is very strong.
At this time, he was sitting at the conference table, his face expressionless.
In front of him, there were several boxes of boxed lunches.
In the previous life, when this film was filmed, it was the actor who played Brother Chen who improvised and pushed all the lunch boxes out, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected effect.
So this time, Lin Yao directly arranged his action into the script.
Lin Yao sat in front of the machine, his eyes staring at the screen tightly.
