After solving the trouble of the little fairy, the casting problem of "The Tuner" came to an end.

However, the casting matter was done, but the issue of location selection was not resolved.

Because there is a plot of the black police in the movie, and the image of the police in the film is also negative, if the background of the story is placed in China, Zhang Mu knows that he will definitely not pass the trial with his toes.

So after some modifications by Zhang Mu, the story background of the entire film was transferred to Bangkok, Thailand.

This is also a routine operation, although at the moment he is the first to eat crabs.

However, I have to admit that under the threat of big scissors, our friends in Thailand have indeed borne too much for us, and we will die at every turn, and we are about to catch up with Gotham!

However, although most of the scenes of the story can be solved in Thailand.

However, the area of Thailand is still too small, and some locations still need to be solved by returning to China after all.

Especially the vegetable field in the wilderness at the beginning of the movie, its presence can be said to set the tone for the whole movie.

Therefore, Zhang Mu attaches great importance to this location.

However, the casting director of the crew found several vegetable fields from all over the world, but Zhang Mu always felt that something was missing after watching it.

Although "The Tuner" is a one-step commercial suspense movie, it has a variety of interpretations.

In essence, this is a story of "one wrong step, one wrong step", whether it is a male or female protagonist.

They seem to live in a modern civilized society, but in fact, the order of the entire city is still as barbaric and cold as in the past.

When the law can no longer restrain them, everything can only return to primitive human nature.

And whether it is human nature is inherently good or human nature is inherently evil, this is a question worth thinking about!

From this point of view, this movie is indeed more suitable for Ah San's side.

However, Zhang Mu's request almost drove the director crazy.

In the end, Zhang Mu remembered the scene in "No Man's Land", so he let go of the poor scene selection director.

However, the vegetables in the vegetable field can only be changed to cantaloupe.

Because most of the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew have worked together last time, they have also agreed on the schedule when filming the MV of "Chiling".

So after solving the last problem, the crew finally set off.

……

Although Thailand has not yet introduced a perfect film tax rebate policy like later generations, because many foreign films have come to Bangkok for filming, the local film co-production business in Bangkok has been quite perfect.

And compared with the mixed situation of the co-production companies later, the co-production companies in Bangkok still have at least some strength.

The fees charged by co-auction companies are expensive, but they are not of the same nature as collecting protection fees. A lot of the cumbersome procedures in the filming process are actually run down by them.

It's like this time before "The Tuner" was filmed in Thailand, it was necessary to go to the official Thai Film Bureau for the record.

However, the Thai side's filing requirements are extremely troublesome, not only to provide a script for Chinese, English and Thai, but also to submit a detailed shooting schedule, detailed information of the staff, power of attorney, application form, etc.

So if he hadn't found a co-production company, Zhang Mu would have been annoyed to death just by filing it.

In addition, the co-production company can also coordinate group performances and even invite local actors to make cameos in the crew, but this is limited to film actors.

Because in Thailand, the status of TV drama actors is much higher than that of movie actors.

Zhang Mu was also very surprised when he learned about this situation, but after carefully understanding the reason, he realized that he was still poor.

Because of the backward economy, the coverage rate of cinemas in Thailand is much smaller than that in China. In some remote areas of Thailand, people don't even see cinemas.

They also don't have similar "movies to the countryside" activities like Huaxia, so most Thai people can only see these artists on TV.

And there are only two mainstream TV stations in Thailand, and the TV drama actors are also connected to the TV station, a bit like TVB and ATV in Hong Kong.

Therefore, most Thai dramas have a fixed cast, and those people are acting back and forth.

Of course, after settling down, Zhang Mu began to be busy with the filming of the crew.

Unlike other Chinese crews who came to Thailand to shoot locations, Zhang Mu's main location selection was not limited to Bangkok's Chinatown.

It can even be said that most of his location shooting needs to be carried out outside Chinatown.

In addition, Thailand implements freehold property rights, and the land policy also follows the Anglo-American "Non-concession Law" and "Castle Law", that is, land property rights are sacrosanct.

So this led to the co-production company having to do a lot of communication work before shooting.

After this experience, Zhang Mu completely appreciated the chaos of Bangkok's urban planning.

Even if you are in a bustling commercial district, you will often come across some wasteland that is inexplicably separated by barbed wire.

Or maybe one second you're walking among tall buildings, but the next you're walking between a bunch of wooden houses and tin houses.

Whether it's the style of the building or the time it was built, the span will be far greater than you can imagine.

The real center of Bangkok is actually spread outward with the Grand Palace as a dot. The first circle is the temples and official buildings, the second is the commercial area, the third is the residential area, and the poor can only live in the outermost area.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu found a co-production company, so after a few days of coordination, he finally won the filming permits in all places.

So the crew of "Tuner" was able to start up smoothly.

……

Bangkok's Chinatown

Nov. 15, 9 a.m.

After lifting the red cloth covering the camera, Zhang Mudang shouted even with a megaphone:

"I'm announcing that 'The Tuner' is officially on!"

As soon as his words fell, the crew immediately applauded, after all, no one dared not to give face to the director.

Half an hour later, outside the Sycamore apartment.

"First Scene, One Shot, One Time"

“action!”

As soon as the words of the on-the-spot fell, in the old and cluttered apartment.

Zhang Mu, who had already finished his makeup, immediately sat in front of a dilapidated piano and played Schumann's "The Poet's Love" proficiently.

Suddenly, the melodious music flowed slowly like the Rhine.

I saw that as Zhang Mu's slender and white fingers kept jumping on the keys, the music was dancing briskly in the room like a fairy.

A moment later, when he played to the most intense place in "The Poet's Love", Zhang Mu stopped with a frown, and then couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Click!"

In front of the monitor, looking at Zhang Mu's easy performance, the assistant director Ning Hao's face couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

And Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ning Hao's voice, and immediately got up and came to the monitor to watch the playback.

After a while, Zhang Mu also nodded slowly.

Although Ning Hao is not famous now, his control over the camera is still very strong.

This is also the reason why Zhang Mu did not hesitate to buy his broken advertising company, and also invited him to be an assistant director.

Because of Ning Hao's control, he can be much easier when acting.

After winning the first good start, the staff up and down the crew couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zeng Li, who had been watching in front of the monitor, couldn't help but turn around Zhang Mu with surprised eyes at this moment.

Obviously, she didn't expect Zhang Mu to be able to play the piano well and have such good acting skills.

As for other people's thoughts, they are actually similar to Zeng Li.

When they learned that the actor of "The Tuner" was Zhang Mu, they all thought that the reason why he wanted to be the protagonist himself was to satisfy the regrets of doing the group performance at the beginning.

Originally, before starting the shooting, they all had the intention of watching the excitement, but they didn't expect that after a shot, they would become lively.

Even a Beijing actor like Jiang Wu, who rarely goes to Hengdian, can't help but doubt his life at the moment.

Can you really hone your acting skills so much as a group performer?

Or is it ...... Is it just Hengdian like this?

Thinking of the acting skills of the Hengdian group performance, it may have reached this point, Jiang Wu even suddenly felt a sense of anxiety about being unemployed.

However, if Zhang Mu knew Jiang Wu's thoughts, he would definitely smile bitterly.

After all, his acting skills have nothing to do with Hengdian, they are purely grinded out in his previous life.

In his previous life, the reason why Zhang Mu was able to become an assistant director in major crews was because he had unique skills in his hands that ordinary people could not match.

In the past 20 years that the crew has been fighting, Zhang Mu has stopped learning almost all the time, and there is almost no behind-the-scenes work that he can't do, although he is not proficient.

Even the acting knowledge he learned in school was also learned and used by Zhang Muhuo, and he played a role in the crew when he had nothing to do.

Over time, whether it is behind-the-scenes work or actors' performances, as long as something goes wrong, he can save the scene at any time.

Therefore, the people of Hengdian gave the nickname - "Deputy Director of the Rescue".

If it weren't for Zhang Mu's appearance in his previous life, he would have been able to rely on his identity as an actor to find a way out, so as to save the country with a curve.

Now, although Zhang Mu looks at the same level as Liu Huohua, he can only be regarded as a handsome, but he is already much stronger than in his previous life.

Thinking of the years that had passed, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

However, he still remembered that he was still filming, so he quickly collected his thoughts and moved on to the next shot......
