Chapter 802 Science Fiction Blockbuster "Dark Forest"

During the filming of "Infernal Affairs", a martial arts action film was released in the cinema.

It was a work of a second-rate entertainment company. Before the release, the promotional slogan was extremely loud, saying that it would surpass "Kung Fu" and break the highest box office record in China.

But the thunder was loud but the rain was small.

With the help of "Kung Fu" for martial arts action films, and the support of relevant policies of the General Administration of Culture, the box office on the first day after the release was quite good.

However, the online evaluation of this movie was completely collapsed, with all kinds of scolding, and the box office performance plummeted on the second day.

Gradually, no one cared about it.

Tan Yue didn't know what was happening in the outside world. Now all his energy was on the filming of "Infernal Affairs", and he had no time to pay attention to other things.

He hosted the filming on the set during the day, and returned to the hotel at night to check the content that had been filmed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Saturday, afternoon.

Xiangjiang Film and Television Base.

The crew of "Infernal Affairs".

Chen Yongren, played by Ma Guoliang, lay on a chair with his eyes closed.

All the scenes shot today are about Chen Yongren's psychological treatment at Li Xin'er, which is actually about Chen Yongren finding a safe place to sleep.

After Chen Yongren discovered Liu Jianming's true identity, Li Xin'er was the only person he could trust.

"You said you were a policeman last time? Is that true?"

"I was, but I don't know if it is true now."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know, I'm thinking about it."

Chen Yongren slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the recliner: "There is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I have always felt embarrassed."

"It is true that I dream about you all day long."

When their eyes met, Li Xin'er also expressed her thoughts: "Me too."

Li Xin'er held Chen Yongren's hand, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Click." Ma Guoliang separated from the actress.

Tan Yue carefully looked at the clip just shot.

This clip has been shot four times, and Ma Guoliang thinks there should be no problem this time.

After a moment, Tan Yue turned his head and said: "It's passed."

The actress breathed a sigh of relief. These few clips were caused by her own mistakes, and she felt very guilty.

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said with a loudspeaker:

"Let's stop shooting today. Tomorrow is a day off. Everyone should have a good rest! The night view of Hong Kong is very nice. You can go and have a look."

The set cheered instantly. After the filming started, the crew had not rested for a long time, and everyone was a little tired.

"Great, I heard that the night view here is beautiful. Let's go and have a look tonight."

"Let's go together!"

Tan Yue added: "Be careful."

The set began to pack up the props, and twos and threes agreed to enjoy the night view.

After returning to the hotel, Tan Yue simply washed up and lay on the sofa in the hotel in shorts and short sleeves to rest. During this period, he was more tired than anyone in the crew.

"Tzuyu should have eaten by now." Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called Chen Ziyu.

The phone rang for two seconds, and then he heard Chen Ziyu's voice: "Why did the shooting end so early today?"

Tan Yue basically called Chen Ziyu after he finished his work.

"It has been a month since the shooting started. Everyone is a little tired from working. I gave them a day off to have a good rest."

"How is the shooting going?"

"It's going well. Everything is going according to the original shooting plan. Is there a lot of things going on in the company recently?"

Chen Ziyu lay on the sofa with a mask on: "It's the same as usual."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Ziyu is the one who handles so many documents every day. Tan Yue can't help but feel distressed.

"I just sit at my desk for a little longer every day, but you."

After the shooting is over, Tan Yue calls Chen Ziyu from time to time, but there is still work to deal with, so he hangs up the phone after a simple chat.

Today, during the break, the two chatted on the phone for nearly an hour. They haven't seen each other for more than a month, and they miss each other in their hearts.

Tan Yue put down the phone, picked up the cup at hand, took a sip, and lay back on the sofa to take a nap before checking the clips shot today.

It didn't take long before I felt my eyelids were a little heavy.

Tan Yue sat up from the sofa, turned on the computer and started working.

'Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong. ’

Hearing someone ring the doorbell, Tan Yue walked to the door and faintly heard Ma Guoliang's voice.

Tan Yue opened the door and was stunned when he saw the person outside.

Besides Ma Guoliang, there was another person standing at the door - Zhou Can.

"A Can, why are you here?"

"Mr. Tan!" Zhou Can explained with a smile: "I took advantage of the two-day break to come and visit everyone."

Ma Guoliang on the side said directly: "He came to Hong Kong for fun."

The three people smiled at each other.

With Zhou Can's current fame, there will definitely be scripts looking for him.

However, Zhou Can's performance style has become a school of his own. None of the scripts he received were related to nonsense, so naturally he would not accept them.

Without Tan Yue's new script, Zhou Can spent most of his time improving his acting skills and had nothing else to do.

After staying in the company for a long time, Zhou Can wanted to go out and relax. Thinking of Ma Guoliang filming a movie in Hong Kong, he flew over directly after get off work.

The three people came to Tan Yue's room, and Ma Guoliang poured water on the side.

Tan Yue asked: "Have you decided where to go?"

"I saw the beautiful night view of Hong Kong in Ma Ge's circle of friends some time ago. I want to go there to see it."

When it comes to the night view of Hong Kong, Ma Guoliang praised it directly, which is completely different from his usual taciturn appearance.

After chatting for a while while sipping tea, Tan Yue looked at the time and said, "Last time, I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to appreciate it slowly. How about this, bring Wenhua and we go together."

"Great." Zhou Can said happily. It was also his first time to Hong Kong. He was unfamiliar with the place, so it would be good to have someone to accompany him.

Ma Guoliang nodded in agreement.

Tan Yue stretched lazily: "It's just right to rest tomorrow. After watching the night view, the four of us will have a drink together."

In more than a month since filming, Ma Guoliang has not touched a drop of alcohol. When he heard Tan Yue talking about drinking, he wanted to skip the night view appreciation part directly.

Zhou Can is Ma Guoliang's drinking buddy. Although he is not a heavy drinker, he is also particularly energetic when he hears about drinking.

"Go back and prepare. We'll leave right away. Tell Wenhua." Tan Yue stood up and prepared to change clothes.

Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can left Tan Yue's room and went directly to Zhang Wenhua's room to tell him what the three of them had just discussed.

Zhang Wenhua agreed with a smile. He had planned to rest tomorrow and stay in the hotel to study the script, but now his schedule has changed.

Half an hour later, Tan Yue and his four companions left the hotel in a business car.

Last time, they saw Victoria Harbour directly from the top of Victoria Peak. This time they came directly here.

There were many people at the port. The four people wore masks and carefully admired the scenery on the shore, taking photos from time to time.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the four people returned to the hotel and went directly to the small private room in the hotel restaurant.

On the way back, Tan Yue had arranged his accompanying assistant to ask the hotel to prepare the food.

As soon as he sat down, the hotel waiter came in with the dishes: "Mr. Tan, this is the dinner you ordered."

"Thank you."

Soon the table was filled with various delicacies, including some specialties of Hong Kong.

Tan Yue, Zhang Wenhua and Ma Guoliang had already tasted it, and they ordered it for Zhou Can, who was visiting Hong Kong for the first time.

"Don't be polite, eat something first." Tan Yue hadn't eaten anything since the end of work, and seeing so many delicious foods in front of him made him feel even hungrier.

The situation of the other three people was similar, and almost none of them ate anything.

Zhou Can watched Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua eat very deliciously, and he no longer restrained himself.

After filling his stomach, Tan Yue raised his glass: "I haven't drunk for a long time, let's drink together."

Since Tan Yue had a few drinks at the celebration banquet of "Kung Fu", he has never drunk alcohol again.

Ma Guoliang and the other two raised their glasses.

"Cheers!"

Drink it all in one gulp!

It was not the first time for the four people to have dinner together. After three rounds of drinks, Ma Guoliang, who usually likes to be taciturn, also opened up his chatterbox.

"I think Wenhua's progress in this period of time is too obvious!" Ma Guoliang said with emotion.

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Teacher Ma is right. Wenhua's acting skills have improved a lot."

There are many scenes, and Zhang Wenhua basically passed them in one take, meeting Tan Yue's requirements.

Zhang Wenhua raised his glass: "I also want to thank Mr. Tan and Teacher Ma for their teachings. I learned a lot of things that I couldn't learn from acting teachers."

The four of them drank and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already past one in the morning.

At the end, Zhang Wenhua and Zhou Can were helped back to the room.

Although Tan Yue rarely drinks now, he had practiced his drinking capacity with Xu Nuo before, which can be said to be unmatched by ordinary people.

The next day.

A little after eight o'clock.

Tan Yue was awakened by his biological clock, lay on the bed for a while, washed up, sat in front of the computer, and checked the filming clips of yesterday.

According to Chen Ziyu's explanation, compared with Ma Guoliang and the other three, Tan Yue drank less.

Ma Guoliang, who drinks so much, still retained the last bit of sobriety at the end, not to mention Zhou Can and Zhang Wenhua.

Zhou Can usually likes to drink a little, but his alcohol tolerance is relatively small.

Zhang Wenhua rarely drinks alcohol and was the first to fall down.

Now the three of them are still lying in bed and sleeping soundly, and they didn't wake up until noon.

Among them, Zhang Wenhua is in the most serious condition. After waking up, he felt that his whole body was in a state of floating, and his stomach still felt like a churning sea.

After Zhou Can woke up from the alcohol, he had lunch with Ma Guoliang and boarded the plane back to Beijing. They will not see each other again for a few months.

Monday.

"Infernal Affairs" continues to shoot.

On the set, Tan Yue shouted "cut" more times than before.

"Cut, take a break." Tan Yue shouted with a loudspeaker.

Zhang Wenhua bowed to apologize to the staff on the set. He felt guilty because of his poor condition.

The sequelae of the drinking on Saturday night are still affecting Zhang Wenhua.

He didn't drink much alcohol at ordinary times, and his body was still a little uncomfortable after drinking so much at once.

Tan Yue saw the reason and came over to comfort him: "Wenhua, drink some water, take a rest, and find the state of acting last week."

Zhang Wenhua nodded without saying anything. He had no excuse for his bad state. He lowered his head and sat beside the set to adjust himself.

Acting is not a rush. Tan Yue decided to shoot other plots first and wait for Zhang Wenhua to find the state before shooting this part.

Three months later, mid-November.

Hong Kong Film and Television Base.

The shooting of "Infernal Affairs" has reached the later stage.

The studio, this is an underground parking lot rented by the crew.

Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren cooperated to arrest Han Chen.

The assistant director gave Tan Yue an "OK" gesture, indicating that they were ready.

Tan Yue said loudly: "Everyone must pay attention to safety, all departments are ready."

After the script supervisor hit the board, the shooting began.

After the transaction was completed, Han Chen was about to leave, and suddenly several police cars appeared and blocked the way.

The car turned 180 degrees and was about to drive back, and there were also police cars behind.

Along with the sirens, the underground parking lot was full of the sound of "stop, don't move."

"Click." Tan Yue didn't speak, and his attention was all on the monitor in front of him.

Han Chen's car also had a camera, just to take pictures of his nervous look.

After confirming that there was no problem, the next shot was a dangerous shot, and the car crashed into the wall without changing the road.

Although it could be processed through the lens and there were safety measures, Tan Yue went over to confirm that there was no problem before continuing to shoot.

As the Spring Festival is getting closer, some movies aiming at the Spring Festival have begun to warm up.

Major entertainment companies also showed their talents, posting promotional videos of movies on various social media platforms, with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The Spring Festival period can be said to be the golden period for movies. Both adults and children will take a holiday to rest at home, and watching movies is a good choice.

As long as the movie is not too bad in word of mouth, the movie can basically make back its investment and get a good box office performance.

Among the many movies, the most popular one is "Dark Forest".

Many media reported the news that "Dark Forest" was scheduled.
