Ataya walked into the room with an apologetic expression on his face: "Director, I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a part of worship. I heard from them just now, so I came here quickly to find you."
Ataya's Chinese is pretty good, but she always says "sorry" as "sorry".
Su Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a process. If there is something special here, we will do as the Romans do."
"exactly."
Ataya said: "If you offend the Buddha's mother, Daheitian will bring bad things to the village."
Su Chen: "??"
But soon, he reacted.
It doesn't matter what the Great Black Buddha Mother should be. There are many niche beliefs in Southeast Asia. Sometimes, almost a small village is a belief.
As long as you don't touch the mold, it's better to go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.
Although Su Chen doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, this movie is about killing people and hiding corpses. If something happens in the village, the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake.
If Ataya didn't remind them, tomorrow everyone would put the pig's head on the red cloth and burn incense openly, and then they might have to fight with the surrounding villagers.
However, this gave Su Chen another idea.
It seems that there is another movie called "The Wailing", which is also very interesting. If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can try it.
Of course, Su Chen was also wondering if he wanted to catch Huang Zhengmin alone.
What if in ten years, Huang Zhengmin and Su Chen occasionally meet and shake hands at the film festival and say: "Hi, Su Chen, I feel that I have been living in your shadow."
At that time, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
After confirming with Ataya that the opening ceremony will not be held tomorrow, Ataya left.
Liu Hansheng smiled wryly: "After all, we are filming abroad. If we don't find these translators, the crew will get involved with other people. I'm afraid we don't know what's going on."
Su Chen smiled and said, "How nice."
"In the past, Cheng Long and the others went to Africa to film a movie. There were many scenes of this kind of learning. It is said that a chief would exchange the diamond in his hand for Cheng Long's electronic watch."
"Anyway, in the filming industry, you can meet everything."
"Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, many times, he can't explain certain things clearly, especially in Thailand. It's best for us not to touch these bad things."
……
On the second day, Su Chen actually skipped the opening ceremony and replaced it with a speech.
As long as it doesn't involve religious matters, the villagers are very happy. There are seven NO.80 people in such a crew, and it is lively, eating, lodging, and shopping, all of which are money.
Regardless of beliefs, making money is the first thing in front of you. This is a rule recognized by the whole world.
The shooting in the past few days were all scattered fragments.
Help everyone adapt to the local environment, because they are all Chinese, and when they first arrive in a strange village in Thailand, it is difficult to have the sense of freedom that they have lived here since they were young, whether it is speech or behavior.
So even though the time for the crew was very tight, Su Chen still patiently familiarized everyone with the environment and adjusted their status.
After about two weeks, everyone was getting better and better.
The progress of filming is also gradually accelerating.
This is Su Chen's second film as director.
The previous script of "When a Man is in Love" was relatively simple, and since it was a love scene, it was less difficult.
But this time, firstly, he was in a foreign country, where he was not familiar with, and secondly, because Su Chen had a large role in the scene, he had to consider how to act and the possibility of each scene in post-editing.
He also has to take care of various matters of the crew, so he is also adjusting his state.
The third episode of the domestic extreme challenge was released, and the extreme men's gang became more and more popular. The audience even divided them into groups based on their IQ.
There are limit three fines and limit three fools.
But because of the addition of Su Chen and Xiao Yang, there is an extra Xiao Yang in the Limit Three Idiots.
And there is one more Su Chen in Sanjing.
However, no one knew that Su Chen, who they regarded as extremely clever, was trying hard to adapt to the environment in this foreign country, and was preparing to make another movie that would explode domestic public opinion!
Of course, some unimportant clips were picked during the day to shoot, and at night, because work ends early every day, there is nowhere for everyone to go in this remote area.
So I held a script meeting in the hotel to get familiar with the plot.
The meeting room where many actors are located was temporarily requisitioned from the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel for meetings.
"Male lead, Li Weijie."
"Policewoman: Raven."
"Sister Tan Zhuo: Ayu."
"Li Xiaoqin, you are mediocre. You are familiar with your lines these days. I think sister Chen Chong, you are a little more easy-going. You should be a strong mother in the movie. You should be stronger."
Su Chen holds meetings with the actors every day.
He is now the director.
I am also slowly getting used to understanding this new identity.
In fact, every director has his own unique style.
Directors are similar to generals in ancient times. Each has his own way of managing the crew, his style of marching and fighting, and his habits.
In order to build a good relationship with the people in the crew, some directors eat the same boxed lunch as everyone else, but wait for the whole crew to finish eating before eating.
In this way, the people below will think, wow, the director has already achieved this level, we have to work hard too.
But some directors must be the first to eat, and they are still alone, just to distinguish themselves from the rest of the crew and establish their own authority.
The people below will think that this is the director. Look, the food they eat is all a la carte. It's awesome. He is on the same level as us. The director dare not listen to what he says.
But it’s just a meal, and different directors have different ways of playing it.
This is what Jiang Wen taught Su Chen before.
When talking about different directors and actors, this also depends on the situation.
Some actors are crazy, you have to scold him on the set, let him know that he is under the control of the director at all times, and the director has the final say on the play, not the actors can do whatever they want.
Some actors are more restrained. During the filming process, the director will praise. The harder the praise, the more confident these actors will be, and the better the effect of the scenes they will perform.
Cao Baoping often used scolding.
Jiang Wen, on the other hand, often boasted.
Poet Chen followed suit, with big actors boasting and small actors scolding.
Training actors also has their own means.
There are two completely different styles, and Su Chen's style is the script.
This set was originally passed on from abroad, and this form is generally not practiced in China, but Su Chen felt that it was necessary, and the entire crew had to do it.
Because the script will help the actors understand each other and increase the sense of engagement.
"Tomorrow we will have the most important scene."
The meeting lasted almost two hours, Su Chen glanced at the time.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening.
There was strong wind and heavy rain outside the hotel window, and the tropical leaves were relatively wide, and they were fanned up and down, making the thieves scary.
"Actors and teachers, please rest early. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange more scenes here. Let's get used to it slowly."
Xiao Yang coughed.
Su Chen asked, "Which scenes are there tomorrow?"
Xiao Yang flipped through the notice sheet: "Tomorrow is the interrogation scene at the police station. Basically, the main actors are all there. The main reason is that Mr. Chen Chong has more roles in the scene. Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Chong is a very gentle person in private, and he is more talkative and joking.
I get along well with everyone in the crew, but when it comes to acting, I can become ruthless, and I am a good actor.
"It should be. When the time comes, if there is something wrong, Director Su, please trouble us to make sure a few more times."
Su Chen smiled and said, "No problem, Sister Chen Chong, see you at the police station tomorrow."
……
Early the next morning.
Bassong and Ataya have already negotiated with the police station.
Of course, the police station does not allow borrowing for filming, so about ten days ago, the crew had already started setting up the scene nearby.
The police station can provide some props and some costumes.
The lens is adjusted.
Su Chen communicated with the cameraman for the last time.
"Because of this scene, all the characters are very turbulent inside, whether it's the female police chief Lawen, or Ayu, or me, so we must use handheld shooting."
"There can be some slight shaking during shooting."
"Because what you have to pay attention to is that slight shaking during shooting can give the audience a sense of tension and excitement."
The cameraman has cooperated since the last movie "When a Man is in Love", so the communication is relatively smooth.
He immediately turned his head and said to his assistant: "Change the lens, the focus should not be too thin."
"The Steadicam has also been removed, so don't use the track for now. Director, we can try shooting first, because this scene is a big one, so if I hold it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it physically. Others are fine."
Because once you want to hold it, it means that the cameraman must hold the camera all the way.
And the camera for shooting movies is not like a dv machine for making documentaries. The lens alone is very heavy. It can be held for an hour, but it is really terrible to hold it for a day.
"Okay, no, this scene can be filmed for two days, and it gives me a sense of breathing in the camera."
Su Chen was wearing a brown shirt. His hair was a little white on both sides, and his skin was not that shiny, even a little greasy.
"Come on, let's go through it again and turn it on."
……
The curtains were drawn, and a faint light shone in the police office from the gap.
The camera moves forward slowly.
No one spoke in the police station, and the atmosphere was very depressing, just like the lights in the police station. It was a bit gloomy. The overall layout and color tone alone made people feel a little breathless.
Chen Chong's expression was tense, and her eyes showed fierceness and restraint.
"Where is my son?"
Opposite Chen Chong, Su Chen held hands with actress Tan Zhuo. They are family members and husband and wife.
There are two daughters by my side.
When the happiness of this family was in crisis, Su Chen, as a father, could only stand in front.
Tan Zhuo's hands were trembling slightly.
And Su Chen squeezed her hand, slowly exerting force.
"do not know."
Su Chen replied calmly: "On the night of the second, we were really not at home during those two days."
"What happened on the night of the second?"
Chen Chong stared intently into Su Chen's eyes. As a mother, she could feel the strangeness of this family. They were definitely related to the disappearance of her son.
As a policeman, she can use high pressure to collapse Su Chen's psychological defense.
Today's meeting was Chen Chong's worst time as a female police chief, but it also meant that this was her toughest time.
Chen Chong knew that if he couldn't get any information out of this family today.
Then maybe the truth about the disappearance of his son will never be known.
This is the moment when all boats are desperate and high-pressure threats are needed at all costs.
The rational analysis of the case as a sheriff and the confusion as a mother after her son disappeared, these two completely different emotions collided and intertwined in Chen Chong's body!
Make her a little crazy.
