After the launch conference, Tang An took people to the Huairou Film and Television Base that afternoon and started filming.
The shooting is planned for two and a half months, lasting until mid-January, and there are only about 10 days left before the Chinese New Year.
The first shot went very smoothly, and it only took three shots to pass, which was a good start for future shoots.
The crew had been working together for two months, and most of the staff had not changed, which saved time for running in.
"Scene 8, two shots, one shot, start!"
After making some adjustments, continue shooting.
Tang An sat in front of the monitor and watched their performance.
Li Binbin was pressed on the chair and looked around in panic at the seven or eight big men in black. Each thigh was as thick as her waist.
"Um!"
Zhang Li, the number one henchman who played the role of the drug lord Mr. Zhang, frowned and handed one piece to another.
Li Binbin took the handkerchief with a horrified expression and looked at him in confusion.
Tang An made a gesture to No. 2, who immediately pointed the camera at Zhang Li.
A very obvious villain's face appeared on the monitor.
Tang An nodded secretly. Among these actors, Zhang Li was probably the only one who made him worry the most. He was acting completely in character, and his face hardly required any expression.
Then, Zhang Hanyu, dressed in a silver suit, came out of the next room. He had just handled a few corpses, and his hands were covered in blood, which was all over his body and face.
He glanced at the nervous Li Binbin and took off the transparent eye mask on his head.
Zhang Li immediately took a bottle of white wine from the cabinet next to him and washed Zhang Hanyu's hands.
The photographer gave a two-second close-up shot until most of the blood on his hands was washed away.
Zhang Hanyu took another pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the boy next to him.
With a slicked back hair, glasses, and a face that doesn't look bad at first glance, it's very visually impactful.
Looking at the exposed legs of the corpse and the blood all over Zhang Hanyu's body, and remembering that her boyfriend was shot dead by these people outside the hotel in full view, Li Binbin became increasingly panicked.
"Who are you..."
"I don't know anything..."
"Can you speak Mandarin?"
"Please, let me go."
When Li Binbin saw him washing his hands and not paying attention to himself, he was so anxious that he almost cried, with a hint of strangulation in his voice.
Zhang Hanyu wiped his hands and threw the towel aside, "Let's talk!"
"She is the only one at the front desk, and we got rid of the other kid!" Zhang Li replied.
"What about her?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've met this woman. She said her name is Lucy!"
Li Binbin quickly begged, "Yes, my name is Lucy, and I am just a box deliverer. If you lose your keys, don't chop my hands, okay? You can chop the chain!"
"Click!"
After finishing a shot, Tang An called out and called up the shot just now to watch it again and again.
"Binbin, please pay attention to the micro-expressions on your face. Your body should be slightly trembling, and you should not show that kind of panic when you read the lines!"
After pointing out Li Binbin's problem, Tang An looked at Zhang Li again.
"Don't keep your head so straight, lower it a little, especially when you're looking at the camera!"
"Don't you realize that raising your head and lowering your head have two completely different effects? When you raise your head, you look like an honest farmer, but when you lower your head, you look like a killer!"
"Ha ha......"
Before the filming started, Tang An said that Zhang Li was "a farmer with his head up, a killer with his head down." Hearing him comment like this again, some people looked at Zhang Li's face and couldn't help laughing.
Tang An heard the laughter, raised his eyebrows, looked towards the source of the sound, and shouted loudly, "Isn't it funny!"
The scene suddenly fell into silence. An old friend of the crew who had worked with Tang An was naturally too nervous to take a breath at this time.
The newcomers also heard something from them, and no matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything at this time.
Several actors were even more aggressive and did not dare to say anything. After all, actors are naturally at a disadvantage when facing the director.
"Although today is the first day of shooting, I hope everyone will be in high spirits!"
Tang An looked around and said slowly, "The shooting time is only two and a half months. If it can't be completed on time, don't even think about it this year. I will prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for you at the base!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The expected shooting time was only more than 10 days before the Chinese New Year. It would be a disaster if they were delayed and returned home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
How important is the Chinese New Year?
Although some people cannot go home for the New Year all year round, as long as there is a slight possibility, they will not give up the opportunity to reunite with their families, whether it is taking a train, squeezing a bus, or even riding a motorcycle thousands of miles across the province.
Otherwise, why would the Spring Festival travel be so busy?
Seeing everyone's increasingly serious expressions, Tang An nodded secretly.
These people just need to tap from time to time, otherwise they will start to relax after being nervous for a few days.
Then, Tang An continued to say to Zhang Hanyu, "Killing a few people is just a common occurrence for a big drug lord. Put away the cruelty on your face, you are not fighting now, act as if nothing has happened and you are in control of everything.
His expression showed a hint of coldness in his eyes."
Continuing shooting, this shot failed 4 more times before it passed.
It's enough to act ruthless and tense. The most important thing for Zhang Hanyu is to show that chilling feeling.
The big drug lord kills people like crazy. Even if he is sitting there calmly, he can make people feel a chill. He is not trying to scare people by pretending to be vicious.
Zhang Hanyu did not disappoint Tang An. The subsequent shooting went smoothly, and his expressions and movements were also well executed.
And the most important heroine, Li Binbin, also performed unexpectedly well, and she seemed to have worked hard.
Next, Li Binbin explained to Zhang Hanyu that he was innocent and knew nothing.
Finally, Zhang Hanyu gave her a password and asked her to open the safe.
"Everyone is standing, one person with an anti-explosion shield, standing in a row!"
The executive director led the props team to distribute explosion-proof shields to several extras.
This prop shield is a complete 1:1 imitation. The shield is mostly convex arc-shaped or cambered rectangular. The support plate is fixedly connected to the back of the shield through connectors. The support plate is equipped with buckles and grips.
.
However, the material is not like the polycarbonate, PC material, fiberglass and other materials used by the military and police, they are completely plastic.
Li Binbin put the safe on the table with a dead look on his face, tears slowly forming in the corners of his eyes because of fear.
Zhang Hanyu and Zhang Li retreated to the door of the room and leaned against the wall twice.
At that moment, Zhang Li suddenly moved to the side.
Zhang Hanyu, on the other hand, was leisurely leaning against the wall and smoking a cigar, with no fluctuation in his expression and spitting out eye circles from time to time.
Everything is fine, there are no bombs as expected, there are only 4 transparent packaging bags in the box, and there are blue powdery objects inside.
"Okay, pass!"
"Everyone should tidy up. After dinner, everyone can go back to their respective rooms to rest!"
I shot 4 shots in one afternoon. The first day of shooting went pretty smoothly.
