On a new day, Zhao Donghuai woke up in the hotel, sat on the sofa and poured a cup of tea, thinking about today's shooting plan while drinking.
Last night, I invited Zhang Guorong and Wan Ziliang to dinner, and also invited Guan Jiahui, who was also busy with the meal. Later, I also invited Huang Xingxiu, Chen Baixiang, Tan Yonglin, etc.
There was no accident until the end of the meal.
The atmosphere of everyone's communication was quite pleasant. Director Zhao's "original" songs were one after another, whether they had music and no lyrics, or had lyrics, or the music was adapted, or it had both lyrics and music like Infernal Affairs, or [Main TheMe].
It can basically hit the highlights of musicians such as Ah Wing, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baixiang.
Everyone appreciates and likes his originality. Director Zhao is also a peace-loving and life-loving person, and communication is natural and pleasant.
"As long as everything goes as expected, free musicians are still popular singers. If something unexpected happens, we will have to find someone again."
After finishing a cup of tea, Zhao Donghuai packed up and set off.
There are still a lot of scenes to be filmed today. After the filming was completed in the evening, it was time to go to the hospital to visit the lighting engineer Zhong Ye. A car accident occurred after a good lighting. It was so sudden.
………………
A few days later.
Clear Water Bay Studio, sunny filming building.
There are many people busy inside and outside. Zhao Donghuai is sitting behind the viewfinder in the corner of the big office. He is becoming more and more proficient in the directing business. The scene to be filmed today is before Li Zicheng's finale. A large group of Pan Asia Group directors held a meeting.
Select a new chairman.
Ah Cheng staged The Return of the King.
Picture of climbing to the top of the New Godfather.
Of course, the whole story has not been filmed before. Many of the scenes that have not been filmed are location scenes that need to be filmed outside the Clear Water Bay studio, whether it involves a police station, an airport, or outside a super-large office building, or in an underground parking lot.
Opening film, hospital, home, road racing scenes, etc.
It doesn't mean that you can't find a place to shoot those scenes at the Clear Water Bay Studio, so you can just make do with it. But for Zhao Donghuai, who is gradually striving for excellence and has no shortage of funds for the time being, he still chooses outside.
When the assistant director first scouted locations, he chose more than one shooting location for some big scenes.
Before the shooting started, it was still the same old routine, the actors moved, the lighting engineer measured the light and temperature, the camera crew arranged the camera to establish the track, focus, height and low positions, etc.
After doing this, it’s time to rehearse.
The phone will not be turned on until everything is finished.
This scene requires a lot of supporting actors. The meeting of the Pan-Asia Group should be like the meeting at the headquarters of the big real estate group behind the Galaxy Center that was blackmailed in Police Story 2, with twenty or thirty additional directors.
Behind a group of directors there are about a dozen juniors.
When Li Zicheng returned as king, he opened the door, and two rows of straight black suits filed in. They were also thirty or forty young men.
There are nearly a hundred supporting actors.
But the more people there are, the stronger the momentum will be.
When the first move is over, lighting and photography are also busy.
In the corner of the big office, not far from the director's team, Guan Jiahui glanced at the busy crew who were coming and going in a hurry, and said to Zhang Guorong curiously, "Leslie, isn't there no show for you today?" p>
Ah Wing laughed, "There is no role for me, but I have to get closer to the director so that I can do more songs in the future. The director's creative talent is really..."
Ah Rong came here to sing, and for free he sang a glorious bug about the Autobots landing on the earth under the leadership of Brother Zhu. Not to mention making money, the person who sang "Infernal Affairs" with him was the senior Tan Yonglin.
This made him feel that he was making too much money, so he was embarrassed, so he offered to make a free guest appearance.
He guest-starred as the secretary and lawyer of the new world boss Ding Qing. In the story, he was the one who accompanied or replaced Ding Qing to go to Wanwan to discuss business, asked intelligence officers to investigate the internal personnel of the Pan-Asia Group to dig undercover agents, and hired gunmen from Vietnam. p>
The ending was also when Ding Qing and Li Zhongjiu were fighting each other, and they were hacked to death by their younger brothers.
While joking, Zhang Guorong suddenly said, "Isn't there a drama today? Why are you here?"
Guan Jiahui couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "You think I want to come? It's such a hot day... It's not like my dad is urging me to get familiar with the life of the crew as soon as possible. I will always have to eat in the future."
This is the first time her dream of being rich has been shattered, and she really needs to have sex after her divorce.
Speaking of this, Guan Jiahui suddenly glanced at Zhao Donghuai behind the viewfinder and whispered, "Leslie, what do you think of the director as a person?"
Even if you have to make a living after getting divorced, you should seriously consider becoming an actor and star and make money by filming. She is not a member of the crew, and Guan Shan is just a supporting role. There is really not much reason to stay here often.
Guan Shan had a wide network of contacts, which allowed her to re-adapt to the atmosphere of the crew, learn acting, and she had many recommendations. Two years later, she directly became the heroine of the third part of the Lucky Star series, ousting even Hu Huizhong.
Guan Jiahui doesn't want to come, but Guan Shan can't help it. She is willing to come, even when Guan Shan is away. She still thinks that this crew... It doesn't matter if the director is young and good-looking.
There are many handsome boys among male celebrities in Hong Kong.
The key is to have money!
A production crew with an investment of five million, which is not much in this era, is fully owned by the director. From behind the scenes to the star extras, everything is rented by Shaw Brothers, and it can still hold the place.
What is this? The second generation of rich people or the second generation of movie stars? Anyway, Wang Jing and the like are far from this kind of pomp.
In addition, Zhao Donghuai can also make music creations that both Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong appreciate and even admire.
When a young man is good-looking, has a good figure, has money to show off, and is very talented, his attractiveness index will skyrocket.
Unfortunately, she has not established any friendship with Zhao Donghuai since the first time she arrived. She only left a phone number and said hello when she met.
Under her words, Zhang Guorong looked at Guan Jiahui, then at Director Zhao, and said with a smile, "Director Zhao is really a talented and handsome person."
He also noticed that Guan Jiahui might have some thoughts, but he would not get involved in this matter. She had only been divorced for a few months... What if it was his misunderstanding? That would be super embarrassing.
Maybe Guan Liangnu wants to build a good relationship and find roles for Director Zhao's new drama in the future?
At this time, the lighting, camera and other work were basically completed. When Cheng Xiaodong and Sir Cheng were instructing the actors to rehearse, all the surrounding sounds quickly disappeared, and most people looked at both sides of the long table in the large office.
During the rehearsal, more than 30 directors were waiting for candidates for the new chairman to run for office. Originally, the only candidate was the second boss Zhang Shouji, and everyone thought that Lao Zhang was destined to take over.
While waiting, a young man came over and told the person in charge of the ceremony that Lao Zhang was not coming and had withdrawn, leaving Li Zicheng as the only candidate.
The person in charge's face changed several times, he quickly explained, and then led everyone to look at the office door.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The young men in suits and ties, with their hair combed meticulously, including Zhou Xingxing, Guan Lijie, Ouyang Zhenhua, and Tao Dayu, walked forward, divided into two long snakes, and filed in.
Two rows of boys in suits in their 30s and 40s, about a dozen of whom just walked out.
Many people also had a feeling of excitement while looking at it. After looking through the viewfinder, Zhao Donghuai grabbed the speaker and said, "Click! Let's do it again!"
If you don’t go well in rehearsals, it will only be a waste of film if you open the camera later.
Many people looked at Director Zhao, but a group of guys in suits reacted quickly and turned around, planning to leave again.
Zhao Donghuai grabbed the speaker and said, "There is no need to rehearse the dialogue scene for the board of directors. Let them go through it a few times. It feels too bad."
Ah Cheng became the only candidate. As soon as the door opened, two rows of young people gathered. Dozens of directors knelt down and worshiped like subordinates. It was the most domineering scene in the whole film.
Combined with [Arrest]’s fast-paced and explosive drum beats, the audience can watch their adrenaline surge.
But Xingzi, Heavy Rain and others left badly.
Depressed? Urgent? Chilling? Cold? What about the domineering and wolfish temperament of bringing the new king to the throne? What about the feeling of walking on the catwalk?
