"Three days after the start of filming, it was overturned and restarted, and Li Shengyao's new film suffered its first big twist and turn."

"The official start of filming of the new movie is not ideal, and Li Shengyao has turned white overnight."

"The future of "Parasite" is unpredictable, and the movie may be cut in half."

"The blows came one after another, Bai Yu sprained his right foot, and he was expected to rest for half a month, and the crew of "Parasite" had to temporarily adjust the filming plan."

"Scorsese supported Lee Shengyao, but Richard Gere disagreed."

"Richard Gere: "1937" is a gimmick movie, and the box office in the beautiful country is only 20 million, I don't understand what such a movie has to brag about?"

"Li Shengyao has been in a bad mood recently, and his luck is bad, and the White Dragon King said that Director Li needs to change his luck."

"Grand Master Huiguang is willing to do things for Director Li."

"The Maoshan Sect Wuming Daoist is willing to do something for Li Shengyao, borrow luck from the gods, and help "Parasite" change his life."

……

Hong Kong Island is worthy of being the capital of spies, paparazzi, gossip and superstition.

A little bit of wind and grass, and soon the whole city will spread it, and then it can be connected to some feudal superstitions.

Li Shengyao felt that Liang Jiahui and Ding Jiali's performance style did not match "Parasite", so he called all the actors over the next day, first expressing his attitude, saying that it was his own mistake and did not clarify the performance style.

Then he pointed out that "Parasite" needs to be performed, and the emotions can be accurate, and the extra emotions should be given as little as possible.

In the end, he announced that the shooting effect of the previous three days was not good, and he needed to shoot again.

His attitude was sincere, Liang Jiahui and Ding Jiali didn't say anything, expressing their understanding of Li Shengyao's choice.

So "Parasite" was re-filmed.

This is a very normal thing, after all, it is just a three-day play, and it is not ten days and half a month to tear down and start over.

However, the paparazzi are staring at "Parasite", and there has been no big news in the entire world entertainment industry recently, so the paparazzi naturally want to make a big wave to attract attention.

So the gossip magazines on Hong Kong Island told the story with alarmist headlines.

Li Shengyao didn't take this matter to heart.

But probably because of bad luck, there are some unlucky things in the dark.

On the night of the second day when Lee Shengyao announced that he had changed his performance style, Bai Yu went to the hotel gym to exercise and practiced hard for an hour, but when he left, he twisted his foot.

Doctors expect it to take half a month to fully recover.

Bai Yu said that he would be able to act in a week.

There is a part of the "action scene" in the later part of "Parasite", that is, the fight between the male protagonist's family and the former domestic servant couple, which is the later plot.

There is no difficult strenuous exercise in front of him, and Bai Yu will come back after a week, but it is not impossible.

In addition, Lee Shengyao was once again implicated by Hollywood.

Before Martin. Scorsese was not used to superhero movies, and after criticizing superhero movies, he erected Lee Shengyao as a positive example.

Some people approve of it, and some people dislike it.

In a recent interview with reporters, Richard Gere made some remarks, saying that "1937" is nothing more than that, and Lee Shengyao can't afford Scorsese's praise.

Li Shengyao saw the newspaper and felt a little sick to his stomach.

Richard Gere is a hardcore anti-birch person, this dog has a good relationship with the big horn, and several times he went to Balat to find the big horn, and even got a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, which made him even more excited.

Richard Gere was interviewed in Hollywood, and there was absolutely nothing good to say about Huaxia.

When Lee Shengyao was making movies in Pretty China, he didn't meet Richard Gere, but he knew the characteristics of this dog.

For such a person, Li Shengyao is not surprised by what he says.

In general, there has been a lot of news about Lee Shengyao and "Parasite" recently, except for Richard Gere who made him disgusting, and other news reports, he just laughed it off.

There was a lot of news, but it didn't affect him to direct the film, he was still the same as before, serious, focused, and strict.

……

In the afternoon, Hong Kong Island suddenly cooled down, and the temperature dropped by three or four degrees compared to the previous day.

The crew of "Parasite" came to the Mid-Levels villa for filming.

Because the white feather twisted his foot, he could only shoot scenes without white feathers.

There is no white feather, there are Liu Dehua, Liu Tao, Song Yi, and Hu Xianxu.

The plot is that Bai Yu introduces his "sister" Song Yi to the rich man's family, and Song Yi works as a painting teacher for the rich man's son.

Li Shengyao is still the same as before, after the actors put on makeup, he will take the actors to their positions.

He was very familiar with the scene and completed it with ease, and then arranged for the actors to rehearse.

Liu Dehua is dressed in a suit, walks with the wind, and is very handsome.

Liu Tao was wearing a lantern gown with a short skirt, looking intellectually beautiful.

Song Yi is in a professional suit, with a small suit on the upper body, a knee-length short skirt on the lower body, and she also ties a ponytail, which looks very capable.

That day, Lee Shengyao proposed to the actors that they should give as little emotion as possible.

Liu Dehua likes this very much, his performance is not as natural and open as Liang Jiahui, and the tension is insufficient.

Slightly closed the act, just right for him.

At this time, he rehearsed very freely, and entered the state earlier than Liu Tao and Song Yi.

Liu Tao and Song Yi are trying to recall Li Shengyao's position just now, while Liu Dehua secretly pays attention to Li Shengyao.

About the recent public opinion on Hong Kong Island, as well as the news from Hollywood.

Liu Dehua has heard of it, and he is a little worried about Li Shengyao's psychological state.

He has worked with Lao Mouzi, Xiao Gangcang, and Han Sanping before, and these mainland directors are more serious on the set.

Li Shengyao is relatively mild-mannered.

Li Shengyao takes a thermos cup to the set every day, except when he leads the way, he talks more, and at other times, Li Shengyao is relatively quiet and observes quietly.

Li Shengyao looks normal today, but Liu Dehua is still a little worried.

He plans to get off work and talk to Li Shengyao, after all, although Li Shengyao is a great director, he is too young and may need enlightenment.

"Director Li, let's eat together after work, I know a place where offal soup is very delicious."

Two hours later, the day's shooting ended.

Li Shengyao and Liu Dehua went to a restaurant called "Chaoshan Beef" on Kowloon Island.

Liu Dehua should be a frequent customer, and he is very familiar with the waiter, so he took Li Shengyao directly to the box on the second floor.

"I'm getting older, and I don't like to eat meat anymore, but the offal and beef in this shop are a must, and the taste is very positive, and every time I can't eat and I don't have much appetite, I like to come here."

This restaurant looks very ordinary, just like a food stall in the mainland.

The boxes on the second floor are relatively small, so you can put a table.

There is a smell of meat wafting in the air, the sound insulation is not very good, and the sound on the first floor can be transmitted to the box, which is full of fireworks.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Then I'll let it go." ”

Soon after, the waiter served the food, and a total of five dishes and one soup were served.

A pot of offal, a pot of beef, a pot of chicken, and two vegetables, as well as a corn rib soup.

Liu Dehua and Li Shengyao didn't drink, and the two of them served soup when they came up.

This pork rib soup is still very hot, and there is a mist floating up.

Liu Dehua saw the smiling Li Shengyao through the fog, and said: "Director Li, although I have a lot of work today, I feel very comfortable, the requirements for acting in your movie are very clear, you don't have to guess, I like this way of acting." ”

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, we will continue to cooperate in the future." ”

Liu Dehua picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, which was very sweet.

He felt that Li Shengyao was very good at talking, so he continued: "Director Li, you don't have to care about the media, they are all grass on the wall, step on them today, blow them tomorrow, don't take their words seriously." ”

Li Shengyao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't actually care about what the media said.

However, the rest of the crew should be similar to Liu Dehua, and they all feel that the media has influenced him.

He didn't defend himself and nodded, "Brother Hua, I know." ”

"'Parasite' is great, and as long as we work hard, we will definitely succeed."

Li Shengyao echoed.

"Richard Gere, that white guy ......"

Li Shengyao didn't hear Liu Dehua's words clearly this time, there was some noise downstairs, plus he was a little distracted, he was eating beef offal, this pot of beef offal stewed white radish, very fragrant.

However, Li Shengyao probably understood what Liu Dehua meant.

"Director Li ......"

Liu Dehua saw that Li Shengyao kept nodding his head, and his consciousness was too noisy just now, Li Shengyao may not have heard his words clearly, and he was a little hesitant to say it again.

"Brother Hua, it's okay, you don't have to worry, Richard Gere is a clown, don't bother with him."

Richard Gere has good acting skills, and he has several movies that are very good.

However, this person is anti-birch, and Li Shengyao naturally will not like such an actor.

"Well, just look at it."

"Brother Hua, I never put Richard Gere in my eyes, no matter how much he says, in my eyes, it's a mosquito buzzing."

Li Shengyao's tone was casual, and his eyes were calm and calm.

Liu Dehua saw it in his eyes, his hanging heart relaxed a lot, and he could see that although Li Shengyao was young, he was indeed not affected by the recent public opinion.

Even in the face of Richard Gere, who was directly named, Lee Shengyao did not have too many negative emotions.

In all fairness, Liu Dehua is much more impulsive and reckless at Li Shengyao's age, and he is not as mature as Li Shengyao.

Liu Dehua secretly admired Li Dadao's temperament.

"Director Li, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

"I will find TVB, Wen Wei Po, arrange interviews, explain my mentality to the public, mainly to show the attitude to the cast and crew workers, and everyone will unite as one to make a movie together."

In fact, Lee Shengyao was too lazy to explain, but considering that "Parasite" was produced on Hong Kong Island, and there were actors and field workers from Hong Kong Island, he planned to explain his current state during the interview, so as to give more confidence to friends in the crew, so as not to affect the filming of the film.

When Liu Dehua heard this, he was even more sure that Li Shengyao was very calm at this time, which was completely different from when he was young.

He couldn't help but sigh a little, if he was as calm as Li Shengyao when he was young, maybe he wouldn't have lost tens of millions.

He has always been studious, and when he thinks of his pregnant wife, he hopes that his future child will be as mature as Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, how did you develop this kind of heart?"

……

Li Shengyao and Liu Dehua had dinner together, and the two had a much closer relationship.

The next morning, on the set of "Parasite", Liu Dehua, Liu Tao, Song Yi, and Hu Xianxu continued to work.

Li Shengyao stood next to him and watched quietly.

In addition to these four actors, Liang Jiahui, Ding Jiali, Zhang Xueying, and Bai Yu also came over, and the four of them didn't play, and they still stood by and watched.

White Feather's foot has not yet recovered.

He was very ashamed that he twisted his foot, which caused the crew to adjust the shooting plan, and kept peeking at Li Shengyao at this time.

Seeing that Li Shengyao didn't pay too much attention to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Director, is it okay for me to act like that just now?"

After half an hour of rehearsals, the actors stopped to touch up their makeup and rest.

Hu Xianxu ran to Li Shengyao as soon as possible and asked Li Shengyao about his performance just now.

He was young, he hadn't changed his voice yet, and he hadn't reached the age of growing his body.

"Uncle Director, can I act like this?"

"Uncle Director, I feel like I can play better."

"Uncle Director, I thought about it for a long time last night, and I've been working on it."

In this case, if you are an older person, it will feel very fake.

However, Hu Xianxu is young, although he knows that he is careful, he will not be disgusted.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, and there was no match for Hu Xianxu.

He understood the child's thoughts, and didn't find Hu Xianxu so annoying.

Hu Xianxu was very happy to get Li Shengyao's response, and then ran on the set.

"Oops!"

Hu Xianxu went up the stairs of the villa, stepped into the air, and fell.

When the crowd heard this, they immediately ran over.

Hu Xianxu covered his right ankle, his eyes were red.

"What's wrong? Twisted your foot? ”

Bai Yu twisted his foot, if Hu Xianxu followed and twisted his foot, then he had to adjust the shooting plan.

"No, it just hurts a little."

A field worker lifted Hu Xianxu's pants and touched Hu Xianxu's ankle.

"There was no redness and swelling, no fever, no injury, it should have been hit, it was a hard injury, it's fine."

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Xianxu's mother immediately took him to sit down and reprimanded her son in a low voice.

His mother said for a moment, then stepped aside.

The actors continue to rehearse, and today is a lot better than yesterday.

Both Song Yi and Liu Tao are more natural.

Hu Xianxu's acting talent is good, his role is not difficult, and he is slowly getting used to the requirements of movie acting, but he doesn't have to worry about him.

After another half hour, it was time to rest again.

Hu Xianxu, this kid, came to Li Shengyao again, asked this and that, and after getting Li Shengyao's approval, he was very excited.

"Bang!"

Hu Xianxu ran around on the set and bumped into Zhang Xueying, who had been standing on the side.

Zhang Xueying was only fourteen years old, and she was unstable in the lower plate, so she knocked Hu Xianxu down and sat on the ground with her buttocks, but fortunately she fell and was not injured.

Hu Xianxu knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to look up at people, he lowered his head and came to Li Shengyao with a weak heart, "Uncle Director, I'm sorry." ”

The crowd stood aside, and did not speak.

Everyone is a little disgusted with bear children.

Li Shengyao's set has actually been relatively quiet, because Hu Xianxu is a lot noisy.

Hu Xianxu wrestled just now, and now Zhang Xueying is wrestling, her luck is a little worse, and she has broken to her feet, so the crew has to adjust the filming time again.

Bai Yu stood beside him and couldn't help but be a little worried about Li Shengyao's temper.

After all, Hu Xianxu didn't twist his foot like this, and he really twisted his foot.

He worries that Lee Shengyao will be affected by the recent public opinion.

The other actors thought about criticizing Hu Xianxu at first, but later thought of the recent public opinion on Hong Kong Island, and they were also worried that Lee Shengyao would be angry.

The actors obviously underestimated Lee Shengyao's patience, and he smiled, "Don't apologize to me, apologize to Zhang Xueying first." ”

Hu Xianxu immediately apologized to Zhang Xueying, and then returned to Li Shengyao with a bitter face.

Li Shengyao unscrewed the thermos cup and took a sip of water, "Remember the lesson?"

"Remembered."

"Okay, today I will punish you for picking up all the garbage on the first and second floors, and then throw it into the trash can outside, and if you continue to run around like this in the future, then double the punishment and clean up all the garbage on the street outside."

This villa is quite large, not to mention that there are almost 100 people in the film crew gathered here now, and there is a lot of garbage, and it is not easy to pick up the garbage on the first and second floors.

Hu Xianxu then carried a plastic bag to pick up garbage.

When everyone saw this, they were a little surprised, and when they came back to their senses, they trusted Director Li even more.

A patient director is always better to get along with than a grumpy director.

Lee Shengyao didn't know what other people were thinking, he was thinking about the follow-up shooting.

Just now, Hu Xianxu wrestled, and then knocked down Zhang Xueying, which gave him a wake-up call.

"Parasite" doesn't have any big scenes, but there is one scene to pay attention to safety, and that is the male protagonist and his son and daughter running wildly on a rainy night.

He remembered that the location the assistant director was looking for was not good, the road was too flat, and the rainy night was too slippery.

It was necessary to find a new place.

In addition, in winter, when it is cold, rain, and the flood in the actor's house, warm water must be used to prevent the actor from getting sick and catching a cold.

He then called Zhang Mo and said what he wanted.

Zhang Mo's eyes widened, "Director, do you really want to make warm water?" ”

"yes, plan early."
