Chapter 584 - What is a Profession.

For the Hong Kong Island media, Sun Yi's arrival was too unexpected.

From this inexplicable tide of public opinion, to Sun Yi's press conference to announce the "Hong Kong film" plan of the starry sky, to his arrival in Hong Kong yesterday, he officially announced the start of the film in front of the media today, which is really too fast.

Simply calculated, it didn't even take half a month, which also includes the decision-making of the starry sky, the reaction of public relations, the preparation of the film, the creation of the script and the selection of actors, etc.

Although Hong Kong films were known for their speed in the most prosperous period, they have long since lost such preparation speed and ability, which shows that they have finally seen the power of the starry sky image behind Sun Yi and his connections.

Yinghuang officially participated in the investment of the film, and after only one night, it was reported.

Although Yinghuang Entertainment has always taken the initiative to approach the mainland, it still has a good influence on Hong Kong Island.

In the face of Sun Yi's menacing, the headline on the front page of Hong Kong Island Media's entertainment edition today is a big three words:

"The wolf is coming!"

alludes to Sun Yi's coming to grab food, and on Hong Kong Island, the place where Hong Kong films are emerging, with a pure mainland lineup including mainland directors and mainland actors, to complete an authentic Hong Kong film.

The report also revealed the situation at Sun Yi's start-up press conference.

At the press conference, Sun Yi introduced the name of the movie, called "New World", which is a classic police and bandit-themed movie.

This name is easy to make people think, does the new world imply that the past Hong Kong circle has declined and needs to be opened to a new world?

And what about this opener? Is that Sun Yi?

A reporter directly questioned him on the spot, why did he choose such a theme that has been filmed to the peak of the Hong Kong Island film and television industry and no one can surpass it, is it to challenge the Hong Kong Island film and television industry?

Sun Yi scoffed at this question, because last night's paparazzi, his overall impression of the Hong Kong Island media was not very good, if it weren't for the fear that ordinary fans would not know the truth and be brought to the rhythm indiscriminately, he would not have bothered to hold this start-up press conference.

To this question, he replied like this.

"First of all, it is undeniable that Hong Kong Island has indeed made a lot of classic police and bandit-themed movies, but it is a bit premature to say that it has reached its peak and no one can surpass it.

"As for the challenge you said, I think the benevolent will see the benevolent, the wise will see the wise, I said that I don't mean to challenge, just a tribute to the classic film "Infernal Affairs", I guess you don't approve of it. But, believe it or not, I do think so, I just want to bring Hong Kong Island fans a different and excellent film work from the past. ”

Sun Yi's answer, the starting point is good, but the smell of gunpowder in the wording is indeed stronger, there is no way, because of last night's incident, he is still angry in his heart, if he hadn't reacted half a beat faster at that time and helped Liu Yifei in time, maybe she would have been injured.

That's it, Xiao Nizi was also quite frightened, so Sun Yi couldn't help but be a little emotional when facing a question from a reporter on Hong Kong Island.

But when the words are spoken, there is nothing to regret, at this time, it is time to be tougher.

And his remarks, under the coverage of local media, can be said to have stabbed the hornet's nest of the Hong Kong Island film and television industry.

For those in the Hong Kong circle, those who stay on Hong Kong Island and always insist that "Hong Kong people and Hong Kong films" have to be cut off from the mainland, "Infernal Affairs" can be said to be the last glory of Hong Kong Island films, and it is the proof that they have always talked about it and even advertised that Hong Kong films are not dead.

In their opinion, how could Sun Yi dare to directly benchmark "Infernal Affairs"?

It's just insulting, I can't bear it!

This group of people began to make a lot of nonsense in the media, guiding the direction of public opinion, and even through various analysis angles, demeaning the movies made by Sun Yi before as worthless, and there was no lack of ridicule in his words that he was beyond his power and would definitely kill himself.

Among them are Du Moumou, who has been eating the "stupid and strong" role in "Infernal Affairs" for so many years, and Huang Yingdi, who won awards for restricted movies.

The two of them danced the most when facing the media.

What to say, mainland directors will never be able to make the essence of Hong Kong films, let alone compare with "Infernal Affairs", which is simply self-inflicted.

As for the movies Sun Yi once made, the wide reputation and achievements he has achieved have been selectively ignored by these people, who only think that it is because mainland audiences have never seen the world and can't understand movies.

For the ordinary people on Hong Kong Island, in addition to eating melons, they are also really divided into several camps by the trend of public opinion.

There are those who support him, and they feel that using Sun Yi's achievements to shoot a Hong Kong film is a kind of respect and feedback for Hong Kong Island fans, and they are very grateful to Sun Yi.

There are also those who oppose it, just like those people in the circle of "Hong Kong people and Hong Kong films", they have always felt that they are superior to others and refuse to put down their hypocritical cards.

What's more, in fact, they are watching the excitement, and they are very curious about what kind of movie Sun Yi can make.

In the face of all kinds of remarks from the Hong Kong Island media, Sun Yi didn't fight back at all this time, he didn't even look at it, he never thought of fighting with these landlords.

He is not stupid, on other people's territory, scolding others, isn't that reducing himself to the same level as being a fool, and being stupid together.

There is no point in doing so.

Everything still depends on the movie, and when the movie is finished, we will look at the faces of these people when the time comes.

Sun Yi directly closed the crew, and even the hotel where the entire crew stayed was changed to near the set, and at the same time hired a security company to be responsible for the security of the entire set, just to avoid the interference of ubiquitous media reporters and paparazzi from all walks of life, so that he could concentrate on filming.

However, sometimes it backfires, and the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make some small mistakes.

The staff who came with Sun Yi are all capable personnel within the starry sky, but most of them are also filming on Hong Kong Island for the first time.

On the first day of filming, Sun Yi planned to start a group drama first, so that the two male protagonists could find their feelings.

Logically speaking, group scenes are generally difficult scenes, and its difficulty lies not in the acting skills, but in the scheduling of group performances.

Sun Yi also knows this truth, but he has no other choice, the two male protagonists in the film are the high-level of the underworld group, how can they do without a younger brother.

And the two also need to run in with these so-called little brothers, so that they can enter the state early and perform the feeling of "big brother".

The assistant director in charge of the recruitment of group performances is a good brother of Lao Li, the name is unknown, anyway, everyone calls him Ah Fei, I heard that he once worked as an assistant director for casting under Du Qifeng, and his ability seems to be fine, and his Mandarin also has a certain level, at least better than Lao Li.

"Ah Fei, how are the preparations for the group performance, can 100 people be in place today?"

"Peace of mind, Director Sun, it's already in place, and they're all waiting outside, ready to start filming at any time."

Hearing that the group performance had been prepared, Sun Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, what Brother Li said was right, this Ah Fei was very open in the circle of group performances, and in less than a day of preparation, 100 people were directly in place.

Don't think it's very simple, this is not the kind of person in Hengdian that can be pulled casually, Sun Yi's requirements are to have at least 2 or more movies, have relevant group performance experience, and don't just put on a piece of clothing and act.

Originally, according to the filming plan, the first scene of the film should be filmed today, which is the scene where Li Zicheng interrogates the traitor who betrayed the interests of the group in the dock warehouse, and then directly seals the box with cement and reclaims the people, but the weather has changed today, and it is gloomy early in the morning, which has already begun to rain sporadically.

If this scene is filmed in the rain, it is not shocking enough, and there is no feeling of killing people in broad daylight. So Sun Yi made up his mind temporarily and prepared to change a set of shots, take advantage of the rainy day, and add a scene that was not in the original book.

After explaining to the photographer Lao Li, Sun Yi first came to the group performance to take a look, ready to see everyone's mental outlook, but it didn't matter if he saw it, the whole person was a little confused.

That's not what I'm looking for.

Ah Fei on the side thought that Sun Yi was shocked by the spirit of the group performance, and he had some choice but to shout at the crowd.

"This is our Director Sun, call someone."

"Director!"

Hundreds of people shouted out in unison as if they had rehearsed, which was indeed very imposing.

Before Sun Yi could speak, Ah Fei spoke again.

"From now on, you are members of the Golden Gate Group, and then call it."

"Big guy!"

Yes, it feels obviously different, a fierce Jianghu air is blowing in the face, but this flower shirt, jeans, and "club members" with gold chains and dyed hair of different colors are gathered together, no matter how you look at it, they all look like a group of "rotten boys".

"Ah Fei, didn't they change their clothes?"

"Change of clothes? I asked them to prepare it themselves, aren't they club members in the film, most of these people have acted, and that's how they dress. ”

Sun Yi grinded his teeth, and sometimes, the subjective initiative of his subordinates is too strong, which is not a good thing.

Ah Fei still uses the previous way of local filming, buckle the rope, in line with the principle of saving what can be saved, let these group actors prepare their own costumes, anyway, the club members, there are all kinds of clothes, there is no need for the crew to prepare it.

Sun Yi called Sister An, who was in charge of makeup and props.

With such a large crew, there are still staff on both sides who need to coordinate, Sister An is already busy and her feet are not touching the ground, but after seeing these group performances, she was also stunned, she knew Sun Yi's request, and asked Ah Fei:

"Didn't I tell you to change your costumes, the crew has prepared them, and they are all complete."

Ah Fei was also a little wronged, he went to the clothing room to see it, no, there were only a lot of sets of high-end suits, but this body shouldn't be the starring role, when he saw it at the time, he was still a little embarrassed, thinking that this crew, so generous, prepared a suit for the leading actor, and actually got hundreds of sets.

He felt that it was probably a kitten made by his subordinates, and it was used to report the account, this kind of thing, he had seen too much, but he was a temporary member of the bureau, in line with the attitude of one more thing, not as little as one thing, so he didn't make a noise, now that he thinks about it, it seems that he misunderstood.

"Miss An, you, you mean that those whole suits are prepared for group performances?"

"Of course, this is all Director Sun's request, a uniform uniform, and a badge."

When Ah Fei heard this, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he took a general look at those suits, they were all Coach's brand suits, although this brand ranked relatively low in the ranks of luxury goods, think about it, this is for the group to wear.

Are you using luxury goods?

Ah Fei was once again shocked by the arrogance of the starry sky.

In fact, Sun Yi didn't spend any money on these suits at all, he has Liu Yifei, as the image spokesperson of Coach in Greater China, if there is no sponsorship support, there is no need to renew the endorsement contract.

After all, now Coach can't keep up with the ranking of her daughter-in-law, but Liu Yifei is more emotional, and she has a special emotion for the first luxury brand to endorse her, so she has been renewing her contract until now.

Of course, although it is said to be sponsorship, there is still a reimbursement in the production cost, after all, this film still has Yinghuang's investment.

Sun Yi asked people to quickly bring all the suits, and what he wanted to shoot this time was different from the various community members in traditional Hong Kong films.

The Golden Gate Group in the movie has bid farewell to the initial stage of the underworld and has become a large group with half-black and half-white tentacles that have penetrated into various industries in society.

The underworld in Hong Kong films has been like this since the eighties and nineties, and now it has been 10 years, and more than 20 years have passed, and it is still like this.

What Sun Yi wants is this kind of cross-class dimensionality reduction attack.

After a while, a stack of suits with exquisite packaging was moved by the staff, Sun Yi clapped his hands and said to the group performers at the scene:

"Okay, everyone, you may be relatively new to me, I am also the first time to come to Hong Kong Island to make a movie, how other Hong Kong Island directors shoot, what is the habit, I don't know, but from today on, I hope you will adapt to my model."

"We are working together for the first time, I hope we can finish the shooting happily, please change your clothes according to the requirements, these suits will be treated as a benefit after the shooting, and they will be given directly to everyone."

I'm in my mouth!

Hearing Sun Yi say send, Ah Fei almost dropped his jaw in shock, although this coach is not a top brand, but such a suit is thousands of Hong Kong dollars larger, which is about the same as the salary of these group performances, and even he has to consider buying it if he wants to, Sun Yi actually said that he will give it away.

Are the legs already this thick?

Ah Fei came up with the idea of whether he could follow Sun Yi after the end of this film for the first time in his heart.

It's too generous.

As the casting assistant director, Ah Fei is in such a state of mind, not to mention these group performances at the bottom, who look at Sun Yi one by one with the same eyes as looking at his old bean, and can't wait to worship a deed directly.

In Sun Yi's view, he is a newcomer, filming on Hong Kong Island for the first time, and most of the media and public opinion are not friendly enough to him, and he can't bring another group performance from the mainland, so it is particularly important to win over these low-level actors on Hong Kong Island.

What other way to win over is better than giving money and sending things directly, not to mention, it is also beneficial and not costly.

After the group performers finished changing their costumes, Sun Yi called Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen and told everyone that these two are your eldest brothers in the film.

"Hello big guy!"

All the group performers are in their twenties, with a brand suit, tie, and a group brooch of uniform specifications pinned to their chests, bowing and saluting to the two of them in unison, and the spirit of slaughter and fierceness is blowing in their faces.

Xu was because Sun Yi had given out benefits in advance, and everyone's shouts were a little more prosperous than when they saw him before, and the entire crew put down the work at hand and looked at this side curiously.

And Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi, who stood in front of everyone and accepted worship, felt a tremble all over their bodies, as if a stream of hot blood emanated from the back of their backs and went straight to the sky along their spines.

No wonder men have a dream of rivers and lakes, they all want to be big brothers, this kind of feeling of responding to all calls and gathering from the scenery is really fascinating.

For actors, this is an experience that they can't feel when they are alone at home, no matter how hard they work and ponder.

At this moment, the two subconsciously entered the role.

Zhang Songwen half-squinted his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

And Zhang Yi put his hands in his pockets, buried his head slightly, his face was not sad or happy, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Sun Yi snapped his fingers secretly.

That's the taste~
