Chapter 127 There are only broken cars, no overturned drivers
Early in the morning, Tang An drove out in a car rented by the crew.
Take a spin!
It's not a new car, it's relatively well run-in.
For example, car keys are easy to put in.
Pull it out, put it in, pull it out, put it in again, repeat it many times, and there is no jerky feeling at all.
Twist gently to start!
However, this is Tang An's first time driving, and he still needs time to adapt to the car, such as gearbox, brakes, chassis components, etc.
For a manual transmission car, when it first goes on the road, it is necessary to change gears several times, avoid using a high gear to forcibly increase the speed, and keep the speed at the engine's good power output. This will help the vehicle and the driver adapt to each other faster.
The car drove smoothly all the way without any big ups and downs, because when accelerating at full throttle, the working pressure of the car's engine will increase, causing the engine to be easily damaged.
The car can't stand it!
However, after driving for a while, I became familiar with the vehicle and the people, so I turned directly onto the main road.
Suddenly I stepped on the accelerator, and the car was a little unaccustomed to it. It suddenly rushed forward and almost escaped.
However, the good thing about a well-run-in car is that it adapts quickly and quickly caught up with Tang An's pace.
Xiangjiang is a small place, and the roads are full of twists and turns, often with difficult turns.
However, Tang An did not slow down and still maintained this speed.
After all, it is not a new car. The roar of the engine is getting louder and louder. The water tank may have been too full before, and it gradually drained all over the floor while walking.
From time to time, I have to cross viaducts and undersea tunnels, but the headlights are not big enough and my vision is somewhat affected.
After exiting the tunnel, the sea and sky were vast, and there was nothing in front of him. Feeling the joy of racing, Tang An stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and sweated a lot.
He opened the four windows and the sunroof and felt the howling wind, which was so satisfying that Tang An couldn't help but scream.
After circling for more than an hour, we are still 1000 meters away from the hotel, the final sprint!
The car has been somewhat overloaded after such a long period of vigorous operation.
The car body was shaking constantly, the wheels of the two rear wheels were kneeling on the ground and were a little worn, and the front ones were also struggling to support themselves.
The engine vibration became louder and louder, and he felt it more and more clearly while sitting in the car.
Looking over, the water tank had been spilled all over the floor, mixed with some unknown liquid.
It was shaking more and more, and the parts of the car were almost falling apart. The fixing clips of the two front headlights seemed to be a little loose, and the headlights began to shake irregularly up, down, left, and right.
It's really going to fall apart!
Tang An secretly yelled, there are always only broken cars, not old drivers who overturned!
In the last 100 meters, Tang An held on to the steering wheel tightly!
Unfortunately, the shaking was too severe, so I could only lean forward and use my body to resist.
In the final sprint, the accelerator was almost stepped on.
With a "boom", the car arrived at the door of the hotel, let out a whimper, and shook violently on the spot.
All four wheels were trembling and seemed to be unable to hold up.
The car was swaying this way and that, as if it was about to fall down at any moment, but luckily Tang An was holding on to it.
The engine has stabilized, but you can still feel it shaking when you touch it.
The headlight's clip has been completely loosened. It's shaking up and down, and it looks like it's about to fall off.
After such a high-load exercise, the water inside the water tank was either consumed or overflowed, and it was already half empty. Even if the car had stopped, water still overflowed and formed a stream on the ground.
And under the sudden sudden braking, Tang An slammed forward due to inertia, and the car fit together without any gap, almost knocking down the already shaky car.
Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and was able to hold the car steady.
I stayed there for more than ten minutes to calm down my mood and let the car calm down!
After getting out of the car exhausted, Tang An's hands and feet were so weak that he could hardly stand.
Fortunately, Li Binbin suddenly appeared from the side and supported him, "Tang An, what's wrong? You can't stand driving?"
Tang An helped her stand up, supporting her waist with one hand, panting heavily, waving his hands and saying, "It's okay, this car is a bit unfamiliar. Next time I can drive on the highway for seven days and seven nights, it will be fine, but I'm afraid
The car broke down!"
"I've only heard of drivers who overturned their cars, but I've never heard of drivers who can break down their cars!" Li Binbin joked.
"That's because you haven't seen how powerful I am!"
Tang An looked at Li Binbin in tight sportswear, with a big man on his forehead, panting, and asked with a smile, "By the way, where have you been? Why are you covered in sweat!"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just exercised nearby and ran for an hour!" Li Binbin wiped his sweat, his face was red, and he looked very tired.
"What a coincidence, I drove for an hour and you ran for an hour!" Tang An said with a smile.
"But I feel more energetic after running for an hour. You can't even stand still, as if you've been up all night for several days!" Li Binbin chuckled.
"Forget it, let's go, have a meal, get off the car and take you for a ride, let you experience the driving skills of an experienced driver, I promise you will enjoy it!" Tang An waved his hand, stood up with strength, and walked towards the hotel.
After more than an hour, I was really tired!
After eating, we continued shooting for another day.
There are actually not many scenes after that, most of them are short shots.
Moreover, Xiangjiang is not inland, so if the relationship is good, you can go and shoot wherever you want.
Bernard didn't do it as a last resort, and Tang An didn't want to bother him again. If he went there once, he would be owed a favor.
Anyway, there is still time, and the filming can be completed before the end of December anyway.
Kowloon, Central, New Territories...
In the next half month, they traveled to almost all places in Xiangjiang.
During this period, the mainland film market was also booming.
"The Promise", released on the 15th, has been breaking records since the first day, with a first-day box office record of 21.15 million, a four-day box office record of 74.52 million in the first weekend, and the fastest record of breaking 100 million in 6 days...
A series of records are vulnerable to "The Promise". All the movies this year combined do not have as much weight as "The Promise".
It is said that on the first day of the release, ticket scalpers appeared in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, and the ticket prices quadrupled!
Brother Chen Kai was once again blown to the sky. However, this was also one of the biggest stains in his life.
Although it won the annual box office championship and became the only movie with a box office of over 100 million this year!
The higher the praise and the higher the expectations, the more miserably the failure will be.
However, with Chen Kai's reputation, there are still a lot of investors coming to the door waving checks.
On December 23, Zhang Ziming, whom he hadn't seen for a week, took the initiative to visit.
"Mr. Zhang, what brought you here?"
"Of course it's the cold wind. I didn't expect it to be so cold in the winter in Xiangjiang!" Zhang Ziming entered the room and laughed.
"I would like to thank Mr. Zhang for his help with the previous matter. I didn't expect to be targeted by others for no reason!" Tang An said gratefully.
"The entertainment industry is like this. Someone may be thinking about you anytime, anywhere, some you know and some you don't. Gradually, Director Tang got used to it!" Zhang Ziming said with a smile.
"This is what the saying goes, the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable!"
"Yes, the hardest thing to guess is always the human heart!"
"But our director, Yu, is very optimistic about Director Tang. He told me many times before coming here that he must do his best to help with anything!" Zhang Ziming said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Dong Yu. I will definitely pay you a visit when I return to the capital!"
"What's the matter with Mr. Zhang's visit today?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. "Dragon and Tiger Gate" is wrapping up tonight, and there's a dinner party that Tang An is interested in!" Zhang Ziming said the reason for his visit.
""Dragon and Tiger Gate"? This..." Tang An was a little confused. The two sides were not happy, so what were they doing at this time?
Zhang Ziming knew Tang An's worries, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Tang, I'm just going to join in the fun. Ye Weixin wants to apologize to you, and there will be many Hong Kong famous models and TVB actresses there, if Director Tang is interested..."
