A few days later, the filming moved to a dilapidated residential building.

The crew found that the foreign actors were all in place at the moment, and after a while, Cheng Long would hand a note written in Albanian to one of the foreign actors, and the foreign actors would read "Good luck" in English. Cheng Long confirmed that this person was the man who talked to him when his daughter was arrested.

At this moment, the machine has been arranged, five foreign actors are eating and chatting around a round table, Li Mu is in the room to explain the shooting steps and action points to the foreign actors, and the action director Li Zhongzhi is in the next room. After a while, after a fight broke out here, the gang in the next room would rush over and join the attack on Cheng Long when they heard the movement.

"After a while, Uncle Long successfully deceived you with a fake identity, in order to calm things, you will take the initiative to hand over part of the proceeds, and Uncle Long will finally inadvertently ask you to help translate an Albanian sentence, after you pronounce the sentence 'Good luck', Uncle Long said, 'Don't you remember me?' We were on the phone two days ago and I told you I would find you. ’”

"When Uncle Long said this, everyone sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and you should put on a posture of being ready to stand up and attack Uncle Long at any time."

"You reached out to pull out your gun, Uncle Long slammed your head on the plate, and then the people behind stepped forward to attack Uncle Long, and Uncle Long kicked him down."

Li Mu turned around and walked to the other actor: "And you, you have to slam the table up, how hard you use it, the person on the other side will be knocked down, and Uncle Long held a dinner knife in his hand in time before the table was lifted." ”

"At this time, you stepped forward, and Uncle Long slammed the knife into your chest with a knife in his hand."

"And you." Li Mu looked at the other person, "Rushing forward from this direction in a while, Uncle Long first slashed your arm with a knife, then hugged you from behind, and then plunged the knife into your chest like this." ”

"That's when you come in." Li Mu looked at the last person, "You just got up from behind the overturned table, and just about to step forward, Uncle Long held the hand of the body that was impaled in the chest, and then shot you in the chest with his gun. After the chest explodes, you fall in that direction. ”

At the same time, Li Zhongzhi in the next room was also giving a lecture to foreign actors.

"After a while, I got the order, everyone ran to the next room as fast as possible, you are all extremely vicious gangsters, ruthless, don't take other people's lives seriously, and don't take your own lives seriously. When you rush into the next door, you see dead bodies all over the place, but not a single living person standing, and you're all a little confused. ”

"Then Brother Cheng Long shot you to death in a row, and you didn't see Brother Cheng Long hiding under a corpse before you died."

After the play, all the actors rehearsed first, and the blood bags tied to the actors' bodies did not explode during the rehearsal, and the tables in the room were not lifted, the purpose was to let the actors get familiar with the plot to be filmed and the actors' positions in advance.

After three rehearsals, both the director Chen Musheng and the protagonist Cheng Long felt that the effect was almost there, so the crew officially started filming.

……

Because of the full preparation in advance, the filming process went smoothly, Cheng Long sweated all over his body after the filming of this scene, but his spirit was very excited, he killed more than a dozen enemies alone in this scene, and the whole process seemed quite reasonable.

"Jianxin, Mu Sheng, Li Mu, Zhongzhi, everyone is here." Cheng Long took the towel and wiped his sweat.

After everyone gathered around, Cheng Long said: "This scene is very enjoyable, it is different from the previous filming, in the past, I would punch the wall, the iron plate, and other things that were very hard and hard, and then scream in pain." ”

"The audience will laugh when they see me deflated, but I found that the audience doesn't seem to like watching these things much in recent years, and this time it was played cleanly, a bit like "Spy", this is a new attempt for me, and I think the audience will like it."

Chen Musheng said: "In the past, Brother Cheng Long used to make full use of all the items around him when filming, regardless of whether it was a ladder, a chair, a bamboo pole, or a bicycle, there were all kinds of things, one would drill through here, and the other would drill through there, causing the audience to say that no one could beat Cheng Long in the furniture city." This time, Big Brother tried a new style, clean and neat, without dragging the mud, which is a subversion for the audience, a new experience, and I also think the audience will like it. ”

Li Zhongzhi said: "The previous style of play was not bad, Brother Cheng Long can be popular, and he can have today's achievements, these tricky ways of playing are indispensable, but now it is indeed time to change, the previous style of play, the audience has seen too much." ”

Cheng Long nodded and said: "This part of the fight is very enjoyable, and I am optimistic that the audience will like it, but the process is still short, and many people have been killed, but the time is too short, and the audience has not yet enjoyed it." My idea is to arrange another group of accomplices on the first floor, and when the protagonist grabs the leader and leaves, this group of people will attack the protagonist from behind by surprise, and the protagonist will take another two or three minutes to eliminate all these people. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "This group of people was also going to rush up at first, but halfway through the rush, they found that there was no movement upstairs, so they set up an ambush under the order of the military advisor, and hit the protagonist by surprise. When the audience sees this group of people in ambush, and the protagonist doesn't know it, the audience will worry about the protagonist, and the audience's emotions will be mobilized. ”

"Uncle Long......" Li Mu hesitated to speak.

Cheng Long saw it and immediately said: "Li Mu, you can say whatever you want, everyone is for the movie to be good." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "I think it's good to shoot so many fight scenes, so there's no need to add more." ”

"Why?" Cheng Longdao.

Li Mu pondered the words and sentences, and said after a while: "In recent years, Uncle Long's movies have become more and more patterned, and the audience doesn't like to watch things that are too moderate, and Uncle Long's later movie model is that the fight scenes are too dense and ignore the inner portrayal of the characters. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them was blindsided.

Is this a public criticism of Cheng Long's film? What is Cheng Long's identity in the film industry, and what is your identity? How many works have you had? How much box office has it won? How many fans recognize you? What qualifications do you have to say that Cheng Long's films are too patterned?

Song Ke's face was a little worried.

She knows how she came to be in this role, she has been eliminated, but Li Mu suddenly asked her to play a person who was on the verge of dying, and she was recognized by the director and producer.

So she is grateful to Li Mu, and now seeing that Li Mu is so emotionally unintelligent and directly criticizes Cheng Long's movie, she said that if this makes Cheng Long unhappy, it will make people feel that it is difficult to get along with and become famous, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the circle in the future.

Some people in Cheng Jiaban became excited at this time, everyone was somewhat unaccustomed to Li Mu, but they were assistant directors and screenwriters, and there was Xiying behind them, holding the final cutting power in their hands. Although everyone is unhappy, there is nothing they can do about him, but this time he directly criticized Brother Cheng Long, if this spreads, how bad will this person's reputation in the entertainment industry be? Who would dare to cooperate with him? ”

Producer Huang Jianxin and director Chen Musheng have no intention of speaking for the time being, and Liu Xiaowu, the editor who basically didn't speak in the crew in the past, said at this time: "My nephew is a character who is bigger than the sky, you can say whatever you want, don't take it to heart, but some of his opinions on the movie are even praised by Director Yan Yiyun, you might as well listen to what he has to say later." ”

Cheng Long nodded at this time and said, "Li Mu, you can say whatever you think, I also want to hear the most authentic opinion of ordinary audiences on my movie." ”

Li Mu nodded.

"Uncle Long's movies in his early years still attached great importance to the inner shaping of the characters, Ma Rulong in "Plan A" was cynical but dared to think and dare to do; Chen Jiaju in "Police Story" did not hesitate to collide with his boss for the sake of justice, and hung desperately on the bus; Guo Zhenhua in "Miracle" became the boss in a daze, but he always had a simplicity and kindness in his heart, and the entire gang was mobilized in order to help the old woman who sold flowers. ”

"These characters are very charismatic, the audience will be moved by these characters, coupled with the wonderful fight design, it has become a classic in the minds of countless audiences."

"However, in recent years, Uncle Long's movies have become more and more weak in the shaping of characters, and have been replaced by more and more exciting action scenes one after another."

"From "Police Story 3" to "Red Fan Zone" to "Police Story 4", the action scenes are getting bigger and bigger, and the box office records are getting higher and higher, but the audience's excitement threshold is also getting higher and higher."

"It is undeniable that this set of character stories tends to be simple and the action scenes tend to be dense The mode has made Uncle Long a great success, but this model is destined to be unsustainable."

"The first is that Uncle Long is getting older and older, and his physical fitness must be declining compared to when he was young."

"Second, the audience can be excited to see Uncle Long jump from the second floor today, and Uncle Long will jump to the fifth floor tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he will jump from the 21-story skyscraper in Rotterdam."

"What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Do you want to jump from the edge of space at a height of 40,000 meters? The human body can even exceed the speed of sound when landing in free fall, and it takes four to five minutes from jumping to landing, and it would be even more exciting if two people could jump at the same time and arrange a fight in the middle. ”

"Theoretically, this is completely feasible, maybe someone will accomplish this feat in the future, but this person should not be Uncle Long, and there is no need for Uncle Long to continue to fight like this, and fans may not really want to see Uncle Long working so hard when he is getting older, sometimes Uncle Long running the stairs like a normal person may have unexpected effects."

"On the one hand, there is a downhill path of physical fitness, and on the other hand, the audience threshold is infinitely raised, which is destined to the previous model of simple characters and action-intensive cannot last long."

"The action design of "Hurricane Rescue" is the selling point, but the plot's portrayal of the protagonist's heart is the core."

"Uncle Long's movie, it's time to return to shaping the hearts of the characters, and this "Hurricane Rescue" is Uncle Long's transformation. So I think the action scenes in this movie are enough and there is no need to add more. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, the audience was silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Cheng Long's face.

And Cheng Long said after a moment of silence: "What Li Mu said is not unreasonable. In fact, after the North American box office of "Around the World in 80 Days" was not satisfactory, a bunch of media attacked me as box office poison, and I said I didn't care at that time, but I also analyzed the problems of my movie in my heart, but I didn't think about it so deeply. After listening to what Li Mu said today, I was a little inspired, the movie will be made as planned, Li Mu understands movies. ”

The entire crew around was a little confused.

Especially some of the members of the Cheng family's class, their faces are full of incredible.

What's the situation?

Brother Cheng Long is such a strong person, this matter is over?

Li Mu is blatantly attacking Cheng Long's big brother movie, and the eldest brother just admits it?

Director Chen Musheng nodded secretly in his heart, many of Li Mu's words went to his heart, Chen Musheng's movies still attach importance to the inner portrayal of the characters, and the portrayal of the inner life of the characters in "Who Am I" directed by Cheng Long is very good, and it is also a rare masterpiece in Cheng Long's later films.

On the contrary, director Tang Jili went further and further on the action-dense and character-simple route.

"Li Mu, a young man, may have poor EQ, but his vision is definitely not bad, this is very similar to Zhou Xingzhi, I don't know if there will be Zhou Xingzhi's achievements in the future." Chen Musheng commented in his heart.
