The original intention of the coal boss who invested in this TV series may have been to sleep with a few actresses. The hodgepodge production company in Beijing was responsible for the production, followed by a lot of small shareholders, and there were as many as seven or eight producers and supervisors.
It has exceeded double digits, and there are many people harvesting wool.
But even under such a chaotic management model, no one in the crew, from the actors to the behind-the-scenes, was fooled, and they all did their part conscientiously.
He Xin's hairstyle was originally carefully trimmed according to Zhang Zhen's look. This kind of unruly hairstyle should be very suitable for the kind of gangsters on the street.
But the stylist said no, because times were different. When Brother Hao first became successful, it was in the mid-1980s, and there was no such hairstyle. So he changed his hair into a middle-parted hairstyle with some big waves, and also made the outside
One layer is dyed brown maroon.
Then he wore a purple and crimson printed tight-fitting long-sleeved T-shirt, black bell-bottom pants, and a large yellow gold chain hanging around his neck.
Looking at himself in the mirror, He Xin almost didn't dare to recognize him. Is this still him?
The stylist was very satisfied, and praised from the side: "Your body proportions are very good, especially your long legs. Wearing these kind of bell-bottom pants that cover the thighs tightly is perfect. If only more than ten years ago, you would be like this
Walking on the streets of Hong Kong in one piece, the number of heads turning will definitely be high, and those teachers may even close their legs when they see her!"
Bah, what an old gangster!
However, the business quality of this old gangster cannot be said, and he is very strict in controlling the details of styling. For example, Brother Hao often wears a floral shirt with a suit, and the collar of the floral shirt must be turned outside the collar of the suit.
For another example, Brother Hao's men all have bell-bottom trousers, leather shoes, floral shirts or floral T-shirts, while the gangsters from the mainland are either wearing baggy white shirts or blue shabby Chinese tunic suits, and most of their feet are washed.
White yellow military shoes, and occasionally a few pairs of cloth shoes.
Moreover, gangsters in Hong Kong either have a crew cut or have long or permed hair, while those from the mainland have all kinds of rustic hairstyles. It is absolutely impossible to see the various trendy styles in later anti-Japanese dramas, or slim-fitting suits.
When He Xin was observing the scene, especially when Brother Hao appeared, he always felt like traveling through time and space. If Brother Qiang, played by Sun Honglei, is arrogant and a bit gloomy and restrained, then Brother Hao is definitely bold and extroverted, and often
His eyes were so wide that they were almost bulging out of their sockets, and he was as hysterical as a mental patient.
And what's ridiculous is that unknown actors who play gangsters, gangsters, etc. often deliberately imitate his performance, but of course the result is that they are similar in appearance but not in spirit.
He Xin also noticed that Zhao Yanguo's performance seemed to be very rough at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that he actually designed many small movements, such as stroking his hair, suddenly shrugging his shoulders, and slow movements.
Slowly unbuttoning a few buttons, etc., may seem random, but in this way, the character suddenly becomes vivid.
This is enough to show that this former top student of Beijing Film Academy is by no means in vain.
Finally it was He Xin's turn to appear. This is a small bar in Fisherman's Wharf. Because the bar is still open at night, the crew can only borrow the venue during the day for filming.
This scene was about Ayou beating up his girlfriend Ali the day before. Ali ran away from home, and then he went to the bar where Ali worked to find someone.
At this time, the curtains in the bar were lowered and lights were turned on inside to create a night atmosphere.
"Everyone is in place!"
"action!"
Two waiters were busy in the bar, and a bar girl was sitting at the bar wearing heavy makeup and preparing to open the door to pick up customers later.
The lens of the camera that had been set up in the hall was pointed at the corridor at the door, where light from the outside happened to come in, giving it a rather hazy feel.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a slender figure walked in from the door.
"Brother You, you're here!" A waiter who was cleaning the table said hello.
The camera showed the girl who was applying lipstick in front of the small mirror. When she heard the sound, her movements suddenly stopped. She turned to He Xin, who came over and sat down with a gloomy face. She forced a smile and said: "Brother You, why are you here so early today?"
He Xin lowered his eyelids, ignored her, and casually ordered the bartender: "Have a drink xo."
"What?" The bartender didn't hear clearly.
He Xin raised his eyes, stared at the bartender with a fierce look on his face for two seconds, and said word by word: "xo! Don't you understand?"
The bartender was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes, come right away."
The bar girl next to him glanced sideways at him, looking frightened, and quickly packed up his things, preparing to sneak away.
As soon as he turned around, He Xin said coldly: "Where are you going?"
"I, I'm going to the bathroom." The little girl hesitated.
"Where's Ali?"
He Xin twirled the cup of
Savor.
"Sister Li?"
The little girl muttered vaguely, her eyes rolled around, and then she immediately showed a sweet smile and said nonsensically: "If you don't ask me, I still want to ask you. Why didn't she come with you?"
He Xin's eyes suddenly opened at this time, his throat slowly moved, and he swallowed half a mouthful of herbal tea. The camera looked at his side, and he could clearly see his face trembling when he gritted his teeth, and the veins on his neck were exposed.
Ye Hongwei sat behind the monitor and nodded secretly. He was worthy of being the best newcomer in Berlin. From entering to sitting down, to asking for drinks at the back, and asking questions, he performed a series of performances. He grasped every detail very well and exceeded his original expectations.
.
And although the actor who was temporarily brought in to play the role of the bar girl had some obvious traces of performance, it was not obtrusive and she basically completed the task.
At this moment, He Xin suddenly became violent, raised the goblet in his hand, threw it on the bar table, and at the same time, he grabbed the bar girl's neck and pulled her over.
Huh?
According to the script, He Xin was supposed to hold the half-broken cup in his hand, point it at the bar girl's face, and then ask Ali about her whereabouts. But he didn't expect that he had smashed it too hard just now, and only the base of the goblet was left in his hand.
A handful.
Now that he was embarrassed, Ye Hongwei could only shout: "Stuck!"
He turned around and ordered the props: "Get a suitable broken cup."
Then he shouted to He Xin: "A Xin, what you did just now should be more explosive and don't hug her neck..."
As he spoke, he demonstrated a hair pulling action and said: "In this way, grab her hair and pull her over. Remember, Ayou is a very cruel person."
"Uh, okay, director."
He Xin responded, turned around and made an apologetic gesture to the actress who played the bar girl.
This young girl was quite dedicated. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Xin. You can come over later."
I smashed several cups with the prop and finally got a suitable broken cup with a piece of broken glass protruding from the base.
"Okay, come again."
He Xin grabbed the little girl's hair, pulled her in front of him, pointed the glass shards from the broken cup at her face, glared and roared: "I asked you where Ali went?
"
The little sister was so frightened that she screamed and begged for mercy: "I don't know, Brother You. I just came here, how do I know where Sister Li has gone?"
"I don't care if you know it or not, I only count to three. If you don't tell me, I will use this broken cup to scratch your little face."
After two days of observation, he roughly understood Ye Hongwei's shooting style, which is vicious, exaggerated, and even a little perverted, which would be better.
This little girl performed well. The hair on the back of her head was pulled tightly by He Xin. She raised her head, looked at the broken cup pointed at her face, and cried: "I really don't know, Brother You!"
"one!"
"Brother You, I'm not sorry for you, don't take it out on me!"
"two!"
"If I want to find you, go to Sister Li, not me!"
"three!"
After He Xin shouted, he raised the broken cup and was about to stab her in the face.
"Ah! I said, I said." The little girl was frightened and said quickly.
"explain!"
Only then did He Xin let her go fiercely.
The little girl was so frightened that after breaking free from the restraints, she looked like she was risking her life and shouted at He Xin: "Why are you bullying others when it's your own business? I don't care, Sister Li is at Brother Hao's place!"
He Xin paused suddenly, and his eyes were as wide as bells, even worse than when Brother Hao's eyes were about to pop out of his sockets when he got mad.
It turns out that Brother Hao, as the younger sister said, and Ayou are both younger brothers under Brother Hao, and we are brothers. Ayou likes to beat women when he has nothing to do, and Ali was beaten away by him last night. And Ahao also likes Ali,
When he saw Ali being beaten, he went to comfort her. After a while, the couple got together and cuckolded Ayou.
This kind of humiliation is unbearable, especially for those who work on the street, and they are particularly concerned about face. He Xin's face began to twist and deform, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his whole body trembled slightly, and he suddenly slapped the bar towards the bar.
The younger sister slapped him.
"Bitch!"
Of course, it couldn't be a real beating. The little girl was also very clever. She felt a cool breeze pass by her face, and she screamed and fell to the ground.
"Card!"
Ye Hongwei shouted, stood up from behind the monitor with a smile on his face, and said: "Not bad, not bad, passed!"
Then he said to He Xin: "A Xin, get ready, let's film the next scene."
