Chapter 816 Going Crazy

Perhaps because Yin Jun changed his attitude and became more cautious, some shots in the afternoon went very smoothly.

In just three hours, after the two got off the car, including all the shots outside the elevator, the filming was completed.

Although today's labor intensity was not high, because it was the first time to shoot, everyone was a little nervous. Yin Jun also announced the end of work early and asked a group of staff to go back and rest early.

But other people can rest, but Yin Jun, Yuan Kui, and editor Zhang Yaozong cannot.

Yin Jun stood in the overall position and was responsible for telling what shots he needed. Yuan Kui and Zhang Yaozong found the passages that Yin Jun wanted to see from the already shot materials and pieced them together.

There were not many shooting tasks today. There was no need to piece together the scattered shots inside the building. Zhang Yaozong just edited a series of shots of Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy arriving by car and neatly parking the car to pick up their equipment.

He has been working as an editor for a long time, and it only took him more than thirty minutes to edit this group of shots, which lasted about one minute.

Taking the device to play it back, Yin Jun compared it with the image in his memory. Not only was there no difference, but because Mercedes-Benz provided a car for the shooting for free, it looked even more beautiful.

Huang Yuehuang is indeed a master. The several sets of shots he shot are very good. No matter the location, scene, dialogue and shooting of the characters, they are all very smooth.

In addition, Zhang Yaozong was very good at grasping the rhythm, and Yuan Kui nodded repeatedly.

"Master Jun, although our shooting is relatively slow, the feel of these shots is far better than other movies!" he praised.

Yin Jun smiled and said: "Don't say that. It was only with the help of experienced people like you that we were able to finish it successfully today. And Lao Zhang, this film was edited well. Starting tomorrow, you have to show your best!"

"No problem!" Zhang Yaozong responded with confidence.

He, like all the cast and crew, is full of pride and mission at this moment.

The crew of "Speed" is known to all the filmmakers in Hong Kong.

Even though it is Yin Jun's first time making a movie by himself, all Hong Kong filmmakers who are ambitious hope to join this crew.

Not to mention Yin Jun's screenwriting ability, which is the best in the world, not to mention Yin Jun's astronomical investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, just saying that Yin Jun's previous movies have never failed is enough to give them enough confidence that this "Life and Death" "Speed" can shine.

Xiangjiang's film model is inherited from the Shanghai-Haihai model of the 1920s. After fifty or sixty years of development, it has already become very mature. Otherwise, it would not have surpassed the films of all Asian countries since the 1980s.

If that dinosaur and that big ship hadn't come out one after another, beating the shit out of film companies all over the world, Xiangjiang movies would have lasted another ten years no matter how bad they were.

Therefore, as long as Yin Jun grasps the overall situation, finds a reliable executive director, and finds better photographers and editors, then his movie will not be bad no matter how bad it is.

Talented people all regard themselves as the saviors of this billion-dollar mega-production, and they all want to join the crew and help Yin Jun complete the great cause of breaking out of Asia... well, at least dominating Asia.

Previously, Yin Jun directed "Police School" directed by Wang Jing, but in fact not many filmmakers in Hong Kong regarded it as a Hong Kong production.

The reason is that most of the important roles in it are played by foreigners. This is a large part of the reason why the film does well at the box office abroad.

But this movie is different now. Although Eddie Murphy is a foreigner, the rest of the protagonists and supporting characters are from Xiangjiang. This is completely a Xiangjiang production. At most, it takes care of foreign audiences.

Since everyone had such thoughts, they came to chat with each other and exchange opinions. Suddenly, they realized, Damn, why does he also have such thoughts?

What were once friends have now become competitors.

Take the editor for example.

Zhang Yaozong and Mai Zishan are known as the two most powerful people among the new generation of editors.

The two of them could still chat a few words on weekdays, but after learning that the other wanted to participate in the film, they gradually reduced their contact and began to prepare for each other.

Finally, when Yin Jun chose Zhang Yaozong, he was so happy that he held a banquet for the guests and was extremely happy.

On the contrary, Mai Zishan felt very uncomfortable and was said to have been depressed for a few days.

what is the reason?

Because now it has been spread outside that whoever can get hired in the technical position of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" will be the first one in Xiangjiang.

Everyone has some doubts about Yin Jun's directing ability, but no one has ever doubted Yin Jun's vision.

From the various actors selected by Yin Jun before, as well as the composer Chen Jinqi, photographer Zhong Zhiwen, director Xu Anhua, etc., which one is not a first-rate talent?

This time, with such a huge investment in the film, can the talents in various positions he personally selected be the best?

Not only Zhang Yaozong, but also the collective participation of the three major photographer teams, there are factors involved. They are not just for money.

Precisely because "Speed ​​of Life" has assembled the best production staff in Hong Kong, the filming that started on the second day was much smoother than the first day.

The second day of shooting was mainly about what happened in the elevator shaft.

There is a plot where the actor and his partner enter the elevator shaft to check and fasten the hook of the tower crane on the ring of the elevator. There is also a hot scene where the actor and his partner find the villain in the freight elevator and have their first confrontation.

But the most important thing is the three scenes in the elevator.

Seven or eight people entered the elevator and were trapped.

In one scene, the male protagonist and his partner used a hook to get stuck in an elevator and rescued them in a critical moment.

The last scene was a scene where the protagonist's partner fell into the elevator because the villain fired a gun, and then the up button of the freight elevator was pressed to squeeze the protagonist to death, so the protagonist had to jump into the elevator.

As for the scene where the protagonist and the villain battle wits and courage, and force the villain to give up his plan to use his partner to escape by hitting his partner in the leg, and finally use another plan to fake his death and escape, it is not too out of the ordinary and easier to film.

At most, the explosion shots should have the feeling of a shock wave exploding.

But success doesn't mean it's a one-time pass.

When filming those model scenes carefully designed by Winston, such as the scene where the elevator's steel cable is disconnected and rolled up "whooshing", and inside the elevator shaft, the actually empty elevator is splashing sparks and constantly Huang Yuehuang was very attentive in filming the falling scene. Although he was exhausted and sweating profusely, it was extremely enjoyable.

But when it comes to filming driven by character plots, many problems arise.

For example, when Fei Xiang and the Flying Tigers were inexperienced, there were more NG scenes.

This is nothing, after all, in the beginning, they just wanted to be cool.

But there are two scenes with Zeng Chang. One is in a fake elevator, where he talks crazy to Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy; the other is outside the elevator, where he pretends to die with Eddie Murphy. , it’s a bit difficult.

Eddie Murphy is okay. A black man plays a supporting role, and he doesn't need to be taught to talk trash or curse. What's more, he has dark skin and doesn't show any expressions such as embarrassed blushing, so he can barely keep up.

But Fei Xiang couldn't.

He was completely crushed by Zeng Chang's ferocious and crazy performance. In the whole process, not only was there no heroism or courage at all, but people could see fear in his eyes.

Damn it!

Can this compare to my Keanu Reeves?

Yin Jun looked really angry.

Unexpectedly, Fei Xiang, who had been training for nearly two months, still failed to show his masculinity.

Keanu Reeves starred in "Speed", which was also his first commercial leading role in Hollywood. However, he did not have stage fright to this extent. Instead, he controlled the role very easily and fought against the veteran villain. They are as close as each other...oh, no, they are evenly matched.

"Ka! Take a rest...and try again in ten minutes!"

Looking at Fei Xiang standing on the "elevator", pretending to dodge the "bullets" and trying to listen to Zeng Chang's crazy words, Yin Jun picked up the loudspeaker and helplessly shouted interrupt for the 18th time.

Zeng Chang, who was standing in the iron fake elevator, took a slight breath and didn't go out. He sat on the ground, leaned against the iron wall, closed his eyes and rested.

Eddie Murphy, who was pretending to be half dead, also looked like him. He immediately put down his propped up hand and simply lay down on the ground.

Fei Xiang was even more tired than them. He was staggering and held on to the "cable" so that he almost didn't fall.

Fortunately, the staff climbed up just now and supported him in time.

But it doesn't matter even if he falls down. This fake elevator is on the ground floor. It will be made to look like it is in the air later in the post-production process.

After Fei Xiang sat on the chair, drank some water and rested for a while, Yin Jun walked up to him.

"Why, you are too young to be a man?" Yin Jun looked down at Fei Xiang, "Where have the results of your training in the Flying Tigers in the past few months gone? I told you, I want you to be angry but you can't vent it. The mood, the courage that makes you desperate but have no choice but to jump, the hatred you feel for this gangster!

And you? Why are you giving me that quail look? You are a SWAT officer! You are the ace in the police station! In order to bring this gangster to justice, you do not care about any consequences! How is it possible that you don’t have a strong spirit and are all sissy? I think there are really bullets coming. You have to cry, right? "

Fei Xiang opened his eyes and looked at Yin Jun in disbelief.

He couldn't imagine that Yin Jun, who had always been patient, would actually get angry with him like this.

At the same time, he was also a little angry and embarrassed. How could he curse like this? !

The people on the set were also a little surprised. They all looked over and spoke in a lower voice.

Only Chen Xunqi crossed his arms and smiled nonchalantly.

You idiots, you have never seen Jun Shao get angry in "Wulin Gaiden". Even his favorites Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia were scolded by him several times, let alone other actors.

This handsome young man, although he is gentle and elegant on weekdays, he has a very cruel gene when filming!

Sure enough, seeing Fei Xiang's angry expression, Yin Jun immediately sneered again, "What? Are you angry in your heart? Do you think I'm wrong? That's great! We are all making movies, you can refute me based on your ability! Go ahead! Ah! Play me the role I told you! Let me admire you and let me know that I just scolded the wrong person!... Do you have this ability?"

"have!!"

Fei Xiang stood up suddenly. He was taller than Yin Jun, and now he was looking down at Yin Jun.

Fei Xiang clenched his fists with veins popping out, looking a little ferocious.

Of course he didn't want to hit anyone, he just wanted to prove himself again and show the director that he could definitely succeed.

"Just wait, I will definitely be able to perform well!!"

After saying these words, Fei Xiang jumped to the top of the "elevator" in a few steps.

When he looked back at Yin Jun, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle!
