Everyone was exhausted. Some people even sat on the ground after filming the rooftop scene and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was as if I had been through a war and survived a hail of bullets.
Working with Zhou Yang is definitely a very painful thing. Even though Zhou Yang has become less rigid and repressed after that adjustment, his stubbornness towards the camera is still there.
Often a shot must be shot dozens or even hundreds of times before it is considered successful, and it is constantly modified and shot repeatedly. Shooting often starts at three o'clock in the morning and ends at twelve o'clock in the evening.
"I didn't expect that I was also an undercover agent..."
The actor who plays policeman Big B is named Lam Ka-tung. He doesn't have much of a role in the movie. He even thinks that he is just a supporting role.
But when filming the movie, Zhou Yang just focused on him.
Although he is obviously a bit player, Zhou Yang keeps asking him to play the role well.
When Zhou Yang failed to meet Zhou Yang's requirements after repeated NG attempts, his confidence was inevitably hit.
He kept asking Zhou Yang how he wanted to feel. He even knocked on Zhou Yang's office several times and said that his performance was obviously fine, so why did he have to be NG...
However, Zhou Yang's answer was: "It's just that feeling, you know? That feeling!"
The master of the Lin family became numb on the spot. Why don't you just let it go?
It makes people more numb at the back.
After finally finishing filming a short plot of his, when it was sent to the editing room, he suddenly found that all the scenes he had shot according to Zhou Yang's request had been completely edited out by Zhou Yang, and there was no trace left.
Lin Jiadong wanted to hit Zhou Yang on the forehead with a hammer right then and there.
Isn’t this a mental illness that makes me tormented after eating too much?
I thought that when Zhou Yang deleted his own scenes, this guy would calm down a little, but I didn't expect that Zhou Yang not only didn't calm down, but started to intensify.
No matter what he acted or how he acted, he was always refuted by Zhou Yang...
He had some doubts about life, wondering whether he was abnormal or whether Zhou Yang was abnormal.
As time passed, a bit of resentment inevitably arose in my heart, and I even had a faint feeling that I had not recognized my talent...
This feeling was inevitably carried into the movie.
Then, when the filming of the movie was coming to an end and everyone was getting ready, Zhou Yang gave Lin Jiadong a script under his resentful expression.
After seeing the script, he suddenly realized that Zhou Yang actually meant this.
His emotion, which made him feel unappreciated, was vented in the last scene.
"Finally finished filming..."
He lay on the ground mumbling to himself.
After more than ten minutes, the entire "Infernal Affairs" crew began to pack up various equipment.
Then...
He saw Zhou Yang smiling and personally handing out a stack of thick red envelopes to every staff member.
When the message was sent to Lin Jiadong, Zhou Yang showed a somewhat apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, you have been wronged during this time."
"Ah, are you giving out red envelopes again?"
"Give me some ideas, everyone has been working very hard recently, take the red envelope and relax..."
Lin Jiadong was inevitably excited after seeing the company's thick red envelope.
In fact...
The crew of "Infernal Affairs" was the most painful crew he had ever been in, but the one he couldn't bear to leave the most.
It's not Zhou Yang's personal charm.
People who have been tortured to death still care about your personal charm? Lin Jiadong himself is not gay...
What really made Lin Jiadong stay was the "Hongheng" crew.
Damn it!
Has anyone seen the crew giving out red envelopes every now and then?
Moreover, each red envelope costs upwards of one thousand yuan. It is even exaggerated that sometimes when a red envelope is given out in the morning, Zhou Yang seems to have forgotten about it in the afternoon, and another wave of red envelopes rains down in the afternoon.
Lin Jiadong did the math.
During the filming of "Infernal Affairs" for more than two months, he was given about 100,000 red envelopes for a non-important character one after another, let alone the main characters.
He received the red envelope with mixed emotions.
The resentment over the past two months has inexplicably turned into an indescribable emotion.
He looked at Zhou Yang's back.
Under the setting sun, he actually felt that Zhou Yang's back was shining with golden light.
He stood up. I don't know if it was because he was too tired from filming recently or for some other reason. He felt that his knees were a little weak.
The sun sets over the mountains.
The sunset is dense.
The crew members gathered for a brief meal and then went their separate ways.
The movie did not end at the banquet.
Everyone is very busy.
Liu Tianwang accepted a movie "Future Police". I heard that the salary was very exaggerated, almost 30 million yuan. It was also introduced by an acquaintance. The crew also paid more attention to Liu Tianwang and waited until "Infernal Affairs" was completed.
Announcement of startup.
Naturally, Liu Tianwang was moved by this enthusiasm and sincerity, so after the filming was announced, he immediately got on board with the crew of "Future Police".
Song Yiyi also left.
After that day, Song Yiyi didn't drink any more, and she didn't even drink at the crew's gatherings. However, she would laugh and joke with Zhou Yang whenever she had free time on the crew, and it didn't seem to affect her at all.
only……
In the early morning of the day before filming was finalized, she sent a text message to Zhou Yang who was sleeping.
"I am leaving."
The text message is very simple, only three words.
It seems that everything is calm, like a silent farewell to an old friend...
Zhou Yang woke up the next day and subconsciously prepared to call Song Yiyi, but found that the phone had been turned off.
"Ms. Song left in the early morning. When she left, she stood downstairs for a long time, as if she was waiting for someone. When I wanted to say a word to you, she emphasized not to disturb your rest.
After all the red envelopes were returned to me, I got in the car and left." Xu Mei looked at the direction Song Yiyi left, thinking of the scenes in the early morning.
"oh."
Zhou Yang nodded, looking at the red envelope, he didn't know why he always felt an indescribable feeling of sadness in his heart.
I don’t know if it was because he left suddenly or because he returned the red envelope.
But that’s probably how life is.
Some people accept it, some people reject it...
Everyone has their own choice, this is normal.
Just when Zhou Yang stopped thinking about it, his cell phone rang.
The content on the phone was called by An Xiao.
……………………
July this year is very hot.
In some areas, the temperature has reached as high as 40 degrees.
But the heat wave couldn't resist the clarion call of Hollywood movies...
"Sevier" finally broke through 650 million under the spotlight. Not only is it faster than everyone expected, it is even very likely to reach the astonishing height of 700 million.
"The Sevier" is still lingering and has amazing potential. At the same time, another movie "Pandaman" not only exceeded 200 million at the box office in just five days!
The box office is only a part of "Pandaman"'s revenue.
Even before "Pandaman" was released, the aggressive Hollywood directors had already established this movie as an absolute brand.
In order to maximize the peripheral copyright benefits of "Pandaman" and firmly control the popularity of the summer movie, the movie that was supposed to be released in February and March was forced to June, leaving absolute space for "The Grandmaster"
Let "The Grandmaster" become the pride of Chinese movies in March and April.
In a sense, this is probably about everyone getting what they need.
Those retired old leaders need final political achievements. The emergence of "The Grandmaster" has proved to them that their directing policy is very correct. Subtly, it has enhanced the confidence of Chinese filmmakers in local films, and will not be a complete disaster.
And those behind "Pandaman" got the summer release.
The panda itself is a national treasure, and the movie "Pandaman" deliberately caters to the Chinese people's aesthetics and so-called "martial arts" sentiments. It happens to be summer time again, when children have very free time...
Everything was a carefully planned chemical reaction.
So, early July.
Like mushrooms after a rain...
Toy stores, clothing patterns, children’s schoolbags, shopping mall mascots, and even ice cream wrappers from ice cream shops,
The silly and cute look of the panda in "Pandaman" is everywhere...
The sales of peripherals for major movies have even exceeded the daily sales of "Superman" and reached a new and astonishing level. The operators behind the scenes are making a fortune.
July 3rd.
"Haha, I am no longer a leader..."
"I am just an ordinary old man now..."
"I finally retire and enjoy life in the future."
"Don't look to me for the next thing, look to those young people..."
"They are very thoughtful, very energetic, and very bold. This is an era full of hope."
"..."
The relevant departments are very lively.
Some directors came in and out in an endless stream, watching the old leaders attending in front of the camera, and then greeted them with smiles.
Some people stepped down, and naturally some people stepped up.
After the old leaders left, several directors couldn't wait to contact the new leaders who came to power...
Zhang Jianguo and Xu Kangnian directly became the favorites of this group of directors. The two were in charge of the two major departments of television and film, and became veritable figures who controlled the power of life and death.
"Xu Chu, why are you still suppressing "I'm Not the God of Medicine"?"
"Secretary An, the stakes in this movie are too great, and the old leaders don't dare to touch it casually. Now we are in this area, and we need to do a good job in guiding the masses. This kind of movie dare not pass the review casually, and the impact will be bad.
We have to be responsible for the masses..."
"Xu Chu, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" must be reviewed and approved. I bear all the responsibilities..."
"Okay, don't worry. Recently, some parents reported that our cartoon "Sheep vs. Gray Wolf" contains elements that may lead to violence. I hope you can follow up and talk to the producer of the animation...
…If it really doesn’t work, just take it off the shelves.”
"This is one of the few excellent domestic animations in China. It can be improved a little..."
"How do you define excellence? We must start from the masses and put children first in everything. We have more than one billion people in this country. If we don't guide it well, big troubles will happen..."
"Chu Xu, it seems that Chu Zhang is in charge of the TV business, right? Isn't it his decision to take it off the shelves?"
"Yes, but isn't the movie version of this animation about to be released? There are too many reports from parents. There are many things, so you have to be careful..."
"..."
An Xiao knocked on Xu Kangnian's door.
I saw Xu Kangnian with a serious face.
When she heard Xu Kangnian's words and a pile of reports on the table, she frowned.
