Except for the first day of arrival, everyone took a short break and walked around nearby.
By the second day, everyone was in work mode.
After getting up early and having breakfast, Jiang Yuan sat with Wang Shuxi and others and started reading the script.
He Jing also joined in and began to read the narration part of the script.
The reading will mainly consist of the description of the movie scenes in the script and the dialogue between the characters.
Jiang Yuan and others are each responsible for the lines they play. Compared to formal filming, the reading session is more emotional to a certain extent and tests the actors' sense of belief.
It does feel a little awkward at first.
But when everyone began to immerse themselves in the story, the process of reading the script began to become smoother.
Because there are a lot of comedy plots, everyone sometimes enjoys themselves while reading it, but it is not very interesting.
The script meeting didn't take long. In less than half a day, everyone completed sorting out the complete storyline.
After understanding the complete script, Wang Shuxi and others began to feel more confident about the entire novel.
In the afternoon, while everyone was still very impressed with the plot of the story, He Jing also took Jiang Yuan and others to the already arranged filming location to have a look.
Having just finished reading the script in the morning, and seeing the shooting scene that was completely arranged according to the script in the afternoon, everyone suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, as if the illusion had been reflected in reality, and the sense of immersion was very strong.
Walking around the filming location, coupled with the makeup and other tasks were all integrated together, giving Jiang Yuan and others an immersive feeling of acting out the script before the filming of the movie officially started.
After the simple startup ceremony, Jiang Yuan and others immediately started filming the first scene.
Before filming started, Jiang Yuan and others also "transformed" into characters in the movie with the help of stylists.
The initial plot of "Detective Chinatown" begins with Qin Feng failing the Criminal Police Academy.
For some of the opening scenes, He Jing planned to wait until he returned to China to shoot them.
According to previous information, because Qin Feng failed the exam, her mother-in-law helped buy a ticket to Thailand and asked Qin Feng to go to Thailand to find his cousin Tang Ren to relax.
The first scene was filmed with Tang Ren as the main character.
"One shot for the first time, action!"
He Jing shouted with high spirits. It had been a long time since he was directing on the spot. Especially for a film that had been prepared for such a long time, he was very excited.
Similarly, the scenes shown on the monitor are also quite exciting.
The first shooting scene was chosen in a small bar with a very local style.
The extras wearing all kinds of fancy shirts have already taken their places, and the protagonist of this scene, Tang Ren, Wang Shuxi, has already assumed a slovenly image that fits the role very well.
"Time has passed and will never come back, the past can only be recalled..."
Wang Shuxi took the microphone and sang a song, occupying the main stage.
The singing voice is a bit unpleasant, but this is exactly what we want, and during the performance, Wang Shuxi also appropriately showed the unpleasant but unconscious sense of enjoyment.
Among the people passing by, Kuntai, played by Li Haoyuan, had already put on a very happy and greasy look and gave Tang Ren a high-five.
Wang Shuxi continued to move in the feasting scene, and this shot was also shot using a one-shot technique.
When Wang Shuxi walked to the corner of the bar and faced the camera, the phone rang.
Wang Shuxi also answered the phone at this time and said a line that better showed his identity as a detective.
"Very good!" After finishing the one-shot shooting, He Jing said to the intercom with satisfaction.
However, even though I felt that this paragraph had better expressed the desired feeling, I still called Wang Shuxi and others over to watch the replay.
I continued to pick and choose this clip, looking for some parts that I was not so satisfied with.
After studying it carefully for a while, He Jing said hello, and everyone was ready to have another one.
This can be regarded as He Jing's consistent style. Even if he is basically satisfied with the shot, he will habitually take another shot, just in case.
Because the opening ceremony was held during the day, several scenes shot were also at night.
After the bar scene was shot, He Jing and others immediately moved to a street in front of the bar.
Several shooting locations are arranged relatively close to each other, making it easy to catch up.
On the long street outside the bar, another police detective Huang Landeng, played by Chang Kun, was waiting in a vehicle with a group of boys.
At the same time, we aimed at the destination this time, which happened to be one of the core locations of the film, the location of the Sompa Workshop where the crime occurred.
After Huang Langdeng and others entered the workshop, they also found the deceased Songpa.
Then came the shooting of some regular police scenes. Although they were just fleeting scenes in the movie, the scheduling on the scene seemed quite complicated.
Although there was no role for Jiang Yuan on this day, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi were sitting next to He Jing and watching the monitor.
Ye Xuanqi wanted to see everyone's performance and make progress.
Jiang Yuan was paying attention to He Jing's work, and He Jing happened to notice this, "Are you interested in directing?"
Hearing He Jing's question, Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation, "I have a small project and I want to see if I can try it myself."
What Jiang Yuan was talking about was the agreement he had made with Shang Yan'er before. When he was working on the script, Jiang Yuan thought about it and found that he couldn't find any suitable director.
He Jing must have just finished "Detective Chinatown" by then, and he has to work on the post-production, so he probably won't have time.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Yuan thought about it and decided to do it by himself.
So this time when He Jing was directing the play, Jiang Yuan also paid a little attention.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, He Jing did not continue to ask what the project was.
After the filming of "Detective Chinatown" started, He Jing was still very focused. He basically focused on this movie without any extra energy.
So during the subsequent directing process, I would share my experiences with Jiang Yuan from time to time, which was considered to be on-the-spot teaching.
The night's scene ended with the scene between Landeng Huang and Kun Tai, which was also the most exciting part of the scene tonight.
While showing the relationship between the two people relatively well, it also presented a comedy scene.
Jiang Yuan and He Jing watched their performance in front of the monitor, and they kept nodding and sighing. Sure enough, they must be professional comedians.
Jiang Yuan had mentioned before that it would be best to design an accent and so on. Li Haoyuan and others had already demonstrated that hilarious Thai accent when filming officially started.
"Okay, we're done tonight!" After the filming, He Jing also greeted the scene.
The scenes shot that night were actually not that many, but the time spent was much longer than expected.
The main reason is that we have just started shooting, and the on-site scheduling is not so smooth. In addition, He Jing's control of details in this part is much more detailed than before.
On the second day of filming, Jiang Yuan filmed his first scene and once again returned to the airport he had just visited two days ago.
What was filmed was the scene where Qin Feng had just arrived at the airport.
When Jiang Yuanmao prepared his new look and appeared in front of the camera, He Jing suddenly had a feeling of light up in front of the monitor.
As everyone stared at the monitor, they had a sense of déjà vu as the picture suddenly became brighter.
Among the crowd at the airport, Jiang Yuan appeared in a denim windbreaker. Her hairstyle was specially adjusted, with bangs covering her forehead, which was quite different from her recent event style.
In the camera, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Tang Ren's number, but he never got through, so he showed a helpless expression.
The filming of this scene was not difficult for Jiang Yuan, and it was demonstrated very well.
However, during the filming process, it caused quite a commotion at the airport.
Many passers-by recognized Jiang Yuan and gathered around the crew to watch.
After all, Jiang Yuan had just arrived a few days ago. Some fans noticed this kind of formation at the airport and couldn't help but take a second look.
Not to mention that there were also some tourists from China at the scene, making Jiang Yuan even more recognizable.
After this scene was shot, the next scene where Tang Ren forgot to pick up Qin Feng and belatedly rushed to the airport to meet him was immediately shot.
Different from being in the crowd just now, in order to highlight that it was getting late, I also found an open location to shoot.
This is also the first rivalry scene between Jiang Yuan and Wang Shuxi.
However, throughout the whole process, Jiang Yuan didn't have any lines, and Wang Shuxi mostly acted.
After holding a mugshot and confirming Qin Feng's identity, Tang Ren rushed forward to express his welcome in a slightly grandiose manner, and by the way explained why he arrived at the airport so late.
Although he missed the time because he was playing mahjong, Tang Ren said that it was because he was too busy with his detective work that he did not come to the scene in the first place.
In this scene, Jiang Yuan didn't have many opportunities to perform, and the only line he had was just to show the character Qin Feng's stuttering characteristics.
When playing opposite Wang Shuxi, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, feeling that the other person's acting skills were indeed very good.
In just two days, Wang Shuxi's performance in front of the camera gave him a sense of déjà vu that he was integrated with this character.
There is a huge contrast between his gestures and his usual performance.
Soon after the filming ended, Jiang Yuan and others immediately changed scenes and continued filming other scenes.
After the filming of this scene was completed, it was a public place after all, and it was difficult to completely avoid the crowd of onlookers for filming. This was how the first wave of Reuters pictures of the film was born.
The looks of Jiang Yuan and Wang Shuxi were exposed on the Internet. As the first wave of Reuters, it attracted the attention and discussion of many fans.
Jiang Yuan's style is quite good. Apart from her hairstyle, it is not much different from her daily makeup.
But Wang Shuxi’s appearance is so revealing that it’s hard not to attract attention.
After all, at the previous launch conference, Wang Shuxi introduced himself as a detective in a serious manner.
Everyone subconsciously imagined in a more handsome direction.
But now that Reuters has revealed, Wang Shuxi’s slightly sloppy appearance is not very related to the word handsome.
The huge contrast aroused everyone's curiosity, and some netizens also left comments saying that they finally understood why this was a comedy.
However, this is basically the biggest leak of the movie. After all, the filming location is abroad, and no one would disturb me during normal filming.
The next period of shooting will basically be done in a multi-line simultaneous operation mode.
The time required for filming was listed for each scene and was carried out in an orderly manner according to the schedule.
Immersed in the filming of the movie, everyone is basically working hard every day to better visualize the storyline in the script.
And every time you complete a scene, if it happens to be a scene that you are satisfied with or that has made some progress, you will also feel an extra sense of accomplishment.
While enjoying your work, you don't feel the passage of time.
Before I knew it, a week had passed.
After a week of running in, everyone began to become familiar with each other, and the entire crew completed the filming tasks in an orderly manner.
While Jiang Yuan was focusing on film shooting, what Jiang Yuan, Zhang Qing and others did not expect was that some job offers would come to him even from abroad.
Some Southeast Asian talent show and variety shows are also trying to invite Jiang Yuan to appear in a program and serve as a flight instructor.
However, even when Jiang Yuan didn't have a role, he would follow He Jing and stare at the monitor to enrich his directing skills, so he declined these invitations.
After all, it is like a girl group survival variety show owned by the studio, and the latest recording Jiang Yuan only participated in in the form of a video.
In addition, regarding the results of the release of "The Return of the Great Sage".
After the movie's box office revenue exceeded 1.5 billion, its momentum began to wane.
After officially breaking through the 2 billion box office mark, the box office growth has not been that impressive.
This is somewhat related to the market.
Released at the beginning of the summer season, "The Return of the Great Sage" is already one of the many movies that has taken the market by storm.
However, not many of the films released subsequently were able to carry the box office. Basically, they only achieved relatively high box office numbers in the first week, and their durability was not very strong.
This has also led to a downward trend in the film market to a certain extent.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, it's a bit of a pity, and he always feels that his achievements can be improved further.
Fortunately, the movie release cycle is not over yet, the film schedule and daily box office growth are quite stable, and there is still room for growth.
I was immersed in the filming of "Detective Chinatown", and more than half a month passed without my realizing it, and the highlights of the movie's plot have been filmed.
