Chapter 800 Turn On
The director conveys his ideas through the lens.
Different film and television works have different shooting techniques, and sometimes different shooting angles of the same picture will also present different effects.
Famous directors have their own unique styles, such as Jiang Bei.
The first impression of his film and television works is that the audience thinks the pictures are beautiful.
Jiang Bei likes to take pictures most. No matter where he goes, he will take pictures of beautiful pictures and then slowly ponder them.
This hobby of taking pictures is fully reflected in his film and television works.
Tianjing Entertainment Company, Jiang Bei’s office.
There is a special folder in Jiang Bei’s computer, which records all the film and television works of Tan Yue.
At present, Tan Yue’s achievements have far exceeded those of him, an old man in the director circle.
Jiang Bei has taken Tan Yue as his goal. He will watch every film and television work repeatedly and record what he can learn.
‘Dong Dong Dong’.
The office door was knocked.
"Come in."
The person who came was the secretary of President Qin Da, holding a canned thing in his hand: "Director Jiang, this is the coffee that President Qin brought from abroad. He asked me to send it to you for tasting."
Some time ago, Qin Da took several film and television works of the company abroad, hoping to be released abroad.
Tianjing Entertainment Company is already a giant in the domestic entertainment circle. If it wants to develop further, it needs to make some noise in international entertainment.
Although it has been trying, the results achieved are not very satisfactory.
It is difficult for movies and TV series that can be popular in China to make a splash after being released abroad.
Knowing the difficulty, Qin Da is still very patient. One day, he will definitely let foreigners know about Tianjing Entertainment Company.
Jiang Bei took the coffee: "Thank President Qin for me!"
He usually only drinks it occasionally. Like Tan Yue, his favorite drink is tea.
But he likes the taste of this coffee very much. The taste is pure.
Qin Da knows that Jiang Bei likes hand-ground coffee, and he will bring some whenever he encounters good coffee abroad.
After the secretary left, Jiang Bei took out the usual coffee beans, ground them into powder and put them into the coffee machine colander.
After preheating the cup, put on the colander, and turned it on, a cup of fragrant coffee came out.
Jiang Bei brought the cup to the computer, picked up a piece of sugar and threw it into the cup.
Stirring continuously, the aroma of coffee came over, Jiang Bei sniffed carefully: "Not bad."
Jiang Bei likes this hand-ground coffee for another reason, brewing coffee is also a relaxing process.
As the coffee is stirred, the temperature drops, and the sugar slowly melts in the cup, which is a complete visual enjoyment.
After tasting, the cup is put aside, Jiang Bei opens Weibo to see today's hot searches.
"Ah?! Tan Yue is going to make a movie again?"
Three movies in more than a year, Jiang Bei has only seen it more than 20 years ago.
At that time, the movie was in a blowout development trend. Seeing a movie sell well at the box office, one after another would be released.
However, what surprised Jiang Bei even more was still to come. Tan Yue's new movie is another small-category movie - a police and gangster movie.
Ordinary directors would never take great risks to shoot a movie that has been gradually eliminated by the times.
Not to mention the box office results that Tan Yue has achieved now.
If the box office results are not ideal, the impact on his reputation will be immeasurable.
But after all, it is Tan Yue. He can record martial arts action movies and break the highest box office results. What is impossible for police and gangster movies?
Jiangbei is looking forward to Tan Yue's new movie "Infernal Affairs".
Brilliant Entertainment Company.
President's Office, Tan Yue's office.
Zheng Tong sat opposite Tan Yue: "Mr. Tan, the preparations are ready. When will we start shooting?"
The preliminary publicity plan for "Infernal Affairs" has begun, and Zheng Tong has also accelerated the work progress in the past few days to complete the last task.
Tan Yue opened the computer calendar, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's set it on July 20th."
After the movie started, there was no time to deal with the company's related affairs. There was still a lot of work in hand in recent days. Tan Yue couldn't bear to hand it all over to Chen Ziyu alone.
There was no rush for the new movie. It would not be a big deal if the start time of "Infernal Affairs" was postponed for a few days.
Zheng Tong nodded and wrote down the time. He would prepare for the opening ceremony later.
The opening ceremony of Tan Yue's movies has always been simple and does not take too much time.
"What time is the dinner before the start of the filming?"
"On the 18th, Tianling Hotel."
The purpose of the dinner before the start of the filming is to let the actors get to know each other, so Tan Yue directly chose the Tianling Hotel, which is relatively close to the company, as the dinner venue.
The Shunli Shanshui Manor, which was chosen for the celebration banquet of "Kung Fu" last time, was more for fun. It can be held there when the wrap-up banquet of "Infernal Affairs" is held.
After shooting a movie, everyone will be very tired, and it is just right to rest at Shunli Shanshui Manor.
"Okay, Mr. Tan, I'll arrange it." Zheng Tong was about to get up and leave.
Tan Yue said: "You can let Xiao Ye help you organize the dinner."
Arranging a dinner for the crew is not a simple matter. Chen Ye is quite skilled in arranging dinners for the crew, which can save a lot of things.
"Okay." Zheng Tong went out to carry out what Tan Yue had told him to do.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
July 18th.
Tianling Hotel.
Reception room.
"It's been a long time since I've had dinner at this place."
"Yeah, but the Shunli Shanshui Manor I went to last time was pretty good too."
"For me, it doesn't matter where I go. I only go to such high-end places when I have company dinners."
This time, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" still had many old employees. After arriving at the hotel, they started chatting with each other.
At this time, Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang, and Zhang Wenhua arrived at the entrance of Tianling Hotel in the same car.
The hotel waiter was already waiting at the door.
Tan Yue got out of the car and looked towards the gate, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He unconsciously remembered the last time the paparazzi photographed Tzuyu taking him home, so the two chose to announce their relationship online.
Under the leadership of the hotel waiter, the three people came to the reception room.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
Many people came over to say hello.
Tan Yue smiled and nodded in response.
As the three people arrived, the living room gradually became quiet, and the dinner party before the start of "Infernal Affairs" officially began.
Tan Yue took the microphone: "We will have to work hard for everyone in the next period. I hope everyone will work together and make progress together to bring a good movie to the audience who like our movies. Let's have a drink together."
Both drinkers and drinkers raise their glasses together and drink it all in one gulp.
"Everyone is free to do whatever they want next."
On such an occasion, Tan Yue didn't want to waste too much of everyone's time, so the living room became lively again.
The people sitting with Tan Yue were all actors who had important roles in "Infernal Affairs".
Although there are some who are not familiar with it, this is not the purpose of the dinner party.
In order not to affect the subsequent filming, everyone was controlling their drinking, especially Ma Guoliang, who hardly drank much.
…
The next day.
Everyone from the "Infernal Affairs" crew went to the Hong Kong Film and Television Base one after another.
Hong Kong movies can be said to be the pioneers of Chinese-language movies, and the Hong Kong film and television base is one of the top ten film and television bases in China.
The base was first established in the early 1980s, which was the period when Hong Kong films were at their peak.
Although the development of Hong Kong films soon declined, after more than 20 years of development, its scale has continued to expand and it has become a large-scale multi-functional film and television city integrating tourism, film and television shooting, and film and television training.
Hong Kong has developed into one of the production bases for the Chinese world and even East Asian films. For decades, Hong Kong has been one of the film industry bases and one of the film export destinations.
The scenes at the Hong Kong film and television base are just right for "Infernal Affairs."
The filming location was chosen in Hong Kong this time, and many employees on the crew were quite excited.
July 20th.
Hong Kong film and television base.
Whenever there is a new movie launching ceremony, it will be very lively. In addition, Tan Yue's current popularity in the entertainment industry has attracted entertainment media from all over the world to get first-hand information about "Infernal Affairs".
Zheng Tong simply arranged the venue according to Tan Yue's request. A banner read: The filming crew of "Infernal Affairs" is ready to start filming.
During the host's introduction, the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs" began.
First, Tan Yue made some remarks as a director, including his expectations for the film and why he chose a police film.
Later, Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua, the two protagonists of this movie, also said something.
The host controlled the rhythm of the scene and followed the process step by step.
Chicken, fish and some fruits were placed on the table, and everyone offered incense and prayed for blessings.
Take a final photo as a souvenir.
In order to maintain the order of the scene and allow the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs" to be held smoothly, many security personnel were also hired.
The people who came here were blocked outside, and it was very lively.
"So many people are coming!"
"Of course. Now Tan Yue is at the top of the entertainment industry. It's a bit strange that there aren't many people."
"This is the first time I have seen Tan Yue in person. Although he is wearing a hat, it still cannot hide his handsome face."
"I hope to see "Infernal Affairs" in theaters as soon as possible."
Compared with fans, media reporters were let in, and countless cameras were pointed at Tan Yue and others.
After seeing the start-up ceremony ended, many media reporters were already ready to take action. The next step was the interview session. They had many questions to ask Tan Yue.
As for the content of the movie, Tan Yue did not say much.
Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua also simply answered a few questions and left. Otherwise, there would be more questions and they would not be able to answer them all.
After the opening ceremony, Tan Yue and others returned to the hotel to rest before starting filming in the afternoon.
When Tan Yue was reading the script, Chen Ziyu called, "Ah Yue, how was the opening ceremony?"
"It just ended not long ago and everything went pretty smoothly."
"That's good. Although I'm no longer with you, you must remember to get more rest." Chen Ziyu has always been worried about Tan Yue's desperate attitude at work.
Tan Yue smiled and said: "I understand, and so do you. You will need to handle so many documents in the future, so remember to rest."
Compared with making a movie, Tan Yue feels that it is more difficult to lower his head and process documents in the office.
Ma Guoliang, who lives in the room next to Tan Yue, is studying the script carefully.
Since he got the script, he has been holding it every day, carefully analyzing Chen Yongren's inner drama, and trying to grasp the character's state.
Zhang Wenhua on the other side knocked on the door of Ma Guoliang's room and came to learn from this senior.
…
…
After getting first-hand information about the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs", major entertainment media quickly reported on the Internet.
"Entertainment News": Tan Yue's new movie "Infernal Affairs" held a ceremony today at the Hong Kong Film and Television Base."
"Star Entertainment": Following the success of the martial arts action film "Kung Fu", Tan Yue announced the start of another small-scale police and gangster film "Infernal Affairs."
"Beijing Daily: Have small-scale films really lost their market competitiveness? The success of "Kung Fu" tells us that it has not. Can "Infernal Affairs", a police and gangster film, continue to create miracles? Let us wait and see!"
"Movie News": Tan Yue's new movie "Infernal Affairs" was announced to start shooting today. The scene was very lively, and the fans watching were comparable to a fan meeting."
"Movie News": The latest news, "Infernal Affairs" announced the start of shooting! Countless fans are looking forward to Tan Yue continuing to write his box office myth."
Once the reports of major media were released, they quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens.
On Weibo, Tieba, and forums, netizens were excited.
"As expected of Mr. Tan, he's so fast!"
"Oh my god, so excited! Mr. Tan Yue's new movie has finally started filming. I'm waiting for it to be released."
"Mr. Tan Yue has never failed in terms of movie box office. I believe that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" will not be bad!"
"It's been a long time since I saw a decent police and gangster movie. I hope Tan Yue won't fail this time. It'd be best if it's like "Kung Fu."
"Although it's just started filming, I wish "Infernal Affairs" a big box office success in advance!"
"With Mr. Tan Yue's speed in filming movies, I think he won't let us fans wait too long. He guarantees both quality and quantity, hahaha."
"Look forward to seeing this movie as soon as possible."
……
……
Tan Yue didn't see the hot discussion on the Internet. After the crew had lunch at noon, "Infernal Affairs" officially started filming.
Tan Yue was not in a hurry for the first scene. He hoped that every actor could find his own state as soon as possible.
The script supervisor hit the board: "The first scene, the first shot, the first time of "Infernal Affairs", action!"
After worshiping Buddha, Han Chen turned around and looked at the people in front of him and said: "Five years ago, the parking stall outside the Royal Palace Restaurant in Tai Hing Estate, Tuen Mun, opened with great luck! My brothers and I were ambitious, but we didn't expect that it would be raided 13 times a day before opening for half a month, and six brothers died within a year."
Han Chen turned his head, worshiped again, and said loudly: "Buddha bless you!"
"Cut." Tan Yue stopped loudly and said patiently: "Everyone, find the current state of the character again, and be sure to pay attention to the expression on your face. The camera is very close, there can't be any mistakes, adjust it, and we will continue shooting."
As the script supervisor hit the board again, the shooting continued.
