Superstars start as villains

Chapter 162 Untitled.

[Fuse] The opening press conference, the scene has long been surrounded by reporters and photographers. Xiangjiang has not invested in such a big police action movie for a long time. Fans have been looking forward to it since the news broke. Recently, Zhou Xing Joining, the enthusiasm is high, so naturally there is no need to worry about the media's pursuit.

"Director Ye, I heard that Zhen Bullet was originally scheduled to be the male lead in this movie, why did he change it to Zhou Xing? Is it a compromise to the market?" The reporter is never interested in the movie itself, but gossip.

Ye Weixin's face darkened in an instant: "I don't know where you heard the news. Since the preparation of this drama, Mr. Huang Baiming and I have been communicating with Ah Xing all the time, and finally invited him."

"But Zhen Zibao said a few days ago that you discussed the script with him before." The reporter never let go of this explosive point.

Ye Wei cursed secretly in confidence, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm: "I and Bullet are friends, isn't it normal for friends to discuss scripts?"

"Then, Director Ye, you have such a good personal relationship with Bullet, why didn't you invite him to star in this movie? After all, you have cooperated many times before, and Bullet should be the best action star in Xiangjiang right now? Zhou Xing was chosen for the mainland Market?" I have to say that Xiangjiang reporters are not usually difficult to deal with, they will dig traps for you in different ways, as long as one word is wrong, there will be big news.

Ye Weixin really wanted to complain: I know you still ask, but everyone understands that the reason why Zhou Xing is invited is because of his box office appeal in the two places. Commercial films, isn’t it just to make money?

It's a pity that these words can't come out of his mouth, otherwise, these reporters might write some outrageous reports, accusing him of not giving Xiangjiang actors a chance, that's all light.

The reporters at the subsequent press conferences also found fault with Zhou Xing, but Zhou Xing can be regarded as a seasoned veteran, and he has never been caught.

After the press conference, it is customary to hold a ceremony to worship the gods. After everyone finished offering incense, when the staff lifted the incense table, the entire incense table was overturned.

"This is not a good sign. I'm afraid there will be difficulties during filming." Ye Weixin was full of worry, not only him, but everyone else was the same. Xiangjiang's large and small production crews were all embracing this kind of thing, It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not.

But until now, we can only bite the bullet and shoot. For this reason, the crew specially invited a Taoist priest to do the dojo.

"Fuse, first act, first shot, action."

On the beach, Gu Zai was topless and sitting on the ground, while Zhou Xing was also topless, doing stretching exercises, which was considered a benefit for fans.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Gu Zai impatiently threw a bottle of sunscreen oil to Zhou Xing: "Don't do this kind of action in public, hey, put on some sunscreen oil!"

Zhou Xing took advantage of the situation and threw the anti-sun oil and sand back.

"Hey, why don't you do this, revenge?"

At this time, Fat Cat was walking over with a Labrador: "We'll talk about it when I get here, or you'll have to quarrel every time."

Zhou Xing waved at the labrador, and the dog thought there was something to eat, so it ran over.

Gu Zai complained unhappily: "Tell him not to pretend to be cool all the time, arrest people as long as he leads a team, always fight with people, I know you are very good at fighting."

"Every time something happens, you come to me. If you come to me, you want me to save you. If something serious happens, you rely on me. What do you want me to do?" Zhou Xing patted the dog's head.

"Hey, you muscular man is still noisy, you take off your clothes all day long, stick your butt out, you hurt my hand last time, the doctor said there will be sequelae." Gu Zai pointed at Zhou Xing and cursed.

Zhou Xing let go of the dog and stood up: "The last time you poured the whole bottle of wine over, if I didn't do it, everyone would know that we have a problem, okay? You fight back, do you remember?"

"Nonsense, you slap me, if I don't fight back, how can I come out and mess around?"

"Come out to play? You are a policeman, come out to play."

"Should I give you a horn so you can shout out loud? Stupid."

At this time, Sha Mao finally came forward to be a peacemaker: "We are all colleagues, so you shouldn't be so hard on yourself."

After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Zai: "You too, knowing that he is a firecracker, you still want to light him, why do you do that?"

Gu Zai spread his hands: "Oh, when you want me to work, you should put it nicely. He knows how to pose all day long. How long do you want me to be an undercover agent?"

"Don't talk about the past, just say, who is your boss now?"

"Oh, are you playing this trick again?"

"Which one? The police force has a system."

Fat Cat sighed and said, "Okay, stop arguing, you don't need to cooperate in the future, the report from the Complaints Division has come out, and you will report to the police band next Monday."

"Isn't it? Do you do such a thing?"

"You said that the police force has a system."

"Crack! This one is over." The reason why Ye Weixin shot this in the first scene is naturally because this part of the plot is relatively easy and suitable for running-in.

For Zhou Xing, Gu Zai, and Sha Mao, this kind of plot is not difficult at all.

After a few shots, the first day of filming was over. After the work was over, Ye Weixin specially sent a talisman to Zhou Xing, saying that it was from the Taoist priest who made the dojo for the crew.

"Regardless of spirit or not, please rest assured."

Zhou Xing secretly smiled, but thanked him for his kindness.

However, during the filming of the first fight scene, Brother Shan played by Lin Guobin was injured. Speaking of which, the difficulty of that fight scene was actually not that great, and it was the scene at the Xiangjiang Stadium.

Tony, played by Wrinkle Zhaolong, throws a chair over, and it just happens to hit Brother Shan on the head. At that time, he probably was a little confused, and fell directly to the ground, and a nail was exposed on the broken table on the ground. Plunging into the arm, the scene was chaotic for a while.

"It's really unlucky." Ye Weixin was depressed and helpless, who could be blamed for something like this?Strange props group or actors?

Ye Weixin even planned to finish filming all the actors' literary dramas first, and then start filming martial arts dramas, but was rejected by the producer. After all, the transition efficiency is low, and it is a waste of money. The producer must control the crew and spend money. of every penny.

In the next half a month, the filming did not go smoothly, especially in martial arts scenes, where injuries almost became a common occurrence. Whether it was the leading role or martial arts, there was basically no failure.

"All departments have cleaned up the messy things on the scene. If something goes wrong, get the fuck out of me!" Ye Weixin has been a little angry recently, and the crew is progressing very slowly. If this continues, it is estimated that 1000 million dollars will not be able to complete the project. During the filming, Huang Baiming even called him specifically.

This scene is a scene in which Ma Jun, played by Zhou Xing, encounters a killer in the hospital and is chased by him all the way. This scene was designed by Zhou Xing after he saw a foreign parkour video and discussed it with Xiong Xinxin.

The killer turned over and jumped off the railing, and ran all the way, Zhou Xing chased after him. Not long after, a barbed wire fence appeared in front of him. The killer jumped over the barbed wire fence with both hands, and Zhou Xing kicked directly on the right wall. Then he stepped on the barbed wire and jumped over the relay, and then a scene of sliding down the hillside was also completed smoothly.

Originally, Ye Weixin planned to use a long shot for this shot, and then arranged for a stand-in, but Zhou Xing felt that it was completely unnecessary, and the difficulty was not as high as imagined.

Ye Weixin in front of the monitor also heaved a sigh of relief, after going through this one time and again, nothing unexpected happened at last.

"Where did you find the tricks? All young people? Where is this place? Food stalls! Do you think it's a nightclub? Old people and children? Middle-aged couples? It looks like a fake shot, tell me how to shoot?" Ye Wei Xin scolded the assistant director in charge of the extras until bloody.

The assistant director is also suffering. Xiangjiang has few people in this line of work, and the income is low and not guaranteed.

After finally waiting for the assistant director to arrange all the extras, I finally took a breath, and I couldn't help but start to miss the mainland. Any crew recruiting people is always rushing to do it. It's not like the current situation, and they are still asking people to come. .

"Fuse, Act 32, Shot 189, action."

The killer broke into the food stall and threw the tableware at Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing avoided it, and the extras screamed and fled in all directions.

Seeing Zhou Xing in hot pursuit, the killer lifted the table and was about to smash it at Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing kicked sideways, the table fell apart, and the killer was kicked and fell to the ground.

"Crack, this one is over, let's go straight to the next one."

Xiangjiang movies pay attention to efficiency, and they are often shot consecutively. The shouting is just to let the scene recorder mark it out, which is convenient for post-editing.

In the next shot, the killer holds a child upside down in his hand as a hostage, threatening Ma Jun, played by Zhou Xing, to put down his pistol, and the two confront each other.

"Throw the gun over here!"

Zhou Xing raised his gun to aim at the killer's head, but he blocked it with the child's legs: "Put the child down, you won't be able to run away."

"Do you want her to die?" The killer kicked the child's mother away while continuing to threaten.

"Camera No. [-] captures a close-up of Zhou Xing." Ye Weixin.

Camera No. [-] moved forward. At this time, Zhou Xing was squatting halfway, with pistols in both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the front. There was a trace of anger and hesitation in his eyes.

"Okay, I put down the gun, you put down the child."

Zhou Xing suddenly separated his hands and raised them at the same time, but the pistol was thrown aside.

However, at this moment, the killer threw the child out. Of course, this was done in two shots. The child who was thrown out was naturally caught by the staff, and then fell to the ground after putting on makeup.

The camera once again gave Zhou Xing a close-up. At this time, he was looking sideways at the direction where the girl was thrown.

In the monitor, the expression on Zhou Xing's face changed from incredible, to bewildered, to sad, to angry, and then rushed towards the killer with red eyes. The whole process only took a few seconds, but Ye Weixin was able to rely on these few seconds The camera, seeing his entire emotional change.

If there is no comparison, there is no harm. After taking so many films with Zhen Zi, he always only had two expressions: stern and angry.

This made Ye Weixin feel very comfortable. As a director, who would not want to film with actors with superb acting skills?
