"Thank you for your hard work, do it again!"
Wu Yuan repeated this sentence for the third time, and the streets of the shooting site, which had been destroyed into a mess, became busy again.
A large number of crew members began to repair this severely damaged street.
This is the most complicated and difficult scene in the whole film.
Since coming to Hong Kong Island, the shooting in the past few days has been very smooth. Whether it is the battle between Casillas's dark cultists and the king, or Doctor Strange's heroic arrival at the scene, everything was shot just right.
But today, the crew's shooting finally became difficult.
As we all know, the highlight of "Doctor Strange 1" is the scene where Doctor Strange resists Dormammu's invasion of the earth, and the classic line was born: "Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate."
But before this "negotiation", the most gorgeous scene in the whole film was the scene where Doctor Strange rushed to the Hong Kong Island Sanctuary to stop Casillas from releasing Dormammu.
This is a battle on the streets of Hong Kong Island, which not only involves time stopping and mirror space, but also Doctor Strange uses the Time Stone to reverse time and "repair" the destroyed world.
This scene must be produced with a lot of special effects. At least the time reversal is not something that can be done by simply rewinding.
When shooting on site, it is also very complicated and troublesome. It has to be shot in several stages, destroying, restoring to the original state, and then gradually destroying.
As mentioned before, in order to shoot this scene well, the props department of the crew prepared 350 tons of gravel. This is real stone, not foam board!
Just using up these 350 tons of gravel is a huge workload.
At least it is not a simple three or five days to shoot.
In fact, for this scene, the crew has shot for three days, but only completed three shots, and these three shots did not satisfy Wu Yuan. In fact, at least three or five more shots are needed.
There is no way. Every NG requires a lot of preparation time. After all, the destroyed scenes have to be restored once and then re-shot.
Fortunately, although it was complicated, Wu Yuan was in a good mood.
After all, he felt the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in Hong Kong Island, and the Spring Festival experience in the south was quite novel and special for Wu Yuan, a northerner.
Moreover, the news that the crew was filming in Hong Kong Island had already spread all over the Internet.
Now the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island are spreading the news that the big director Wu Yuan from the mainland came to Hong Kong Island to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster, and there were even many onlookers outside the studio.
This is not the point. The point is that some local actors in Hong Kong Island who got the news came to visit Wu Yuan.
Led by Liu Dehua, or simply led by Liu Dehua, Gu Zai, Liu Qingyun, Ouyang Zhenhua, Huang Zongze and others came to the "Doctor Strange" crew.
Of course, they are all actors, and they know when to visit without disturbing the crew. They all came during the lunch break.
It has to be said that this satisfied Wu Yuan's vanity.
Especially in this crew full of foreigners, a bunch of top actors from Hong Kong Island came to "pay him a visit", which undoubtedly made him pretend in front of the crew.
Wu Yuan was also very happy to see this group of excellent actors from Hong Kong.
Perhaps it is true that birds of a feather flock together. The actors brought by Liu Dehua are all Hong Kong actors that Wu Yuan likes and is willing to socialize with.
They have good acting skills and good reputation. Most importantly, they have good artistic ethics and personalities, which are different from the actors of Zeng Zhiwei's school.
Well. The only one who may have some personal moral defects is Huang Zongze, but he is nothing special, just a playboy.
But Wu Yuan can understand it. With his handsome and handsome appearance, it is really hard not to be fickle and playful.
The most important thing is that Wu Yuan likes Huang Zongze this type of actor.
When he came to visit the set, Wu Yuan also took him to chat.
Huang Zongze, born in 1980, is only two years older than Wu Yuan. He signed a contract with TVB and made his debut in 1999. In 2003, he became famous in Hong Kong as the protagonist of "Triumph in the Skies".
In 2005, Bosco Wong became a big hit in Hong Kong with the costume drama "My Savage Granny".
However, what impressed Wu Yuan the most was a TV series called "Heart of Greed". He, Moses Chan and Linda Chung performed very well in the drama, which left a deep impression on Wu Yuan.
As a post-80s generation, his impression of Hong Kong TV dramas is mainly the actors Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Michelle Yim, Fala Chen, Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong, Roger Kwok and Dicky Cheung.
In his previous life, Wu Yuan had thought more than once that if he became a big director in the future, he would like to invite these actors to act.
For no other reason, it was because these TVB actors were good at acting and cheap, which was really better than the mainland actors in the period after 2014.
Unfortunately, in the previous life in the dream, he had no chance until he woke up, and in this life, Wu Yuan developed too fast and smoothly, and he became international in the blink of an eye, so he didn't need to go to TVB to pick actors.
There is still a little regret, so after meeting Huang Zongze this time, Wu Yuan talked to him about many things about TVB actors, and learned from him that TVB is now on a serious downward trend.
Originally, the salary of TVB actors was very low, and after entering the Internet era, TVB's ratings fell very quickly and seriously, and the capital on hand was becoming less and less. Not only did it produce fewer and fewer TV series, but the salary offered to actors also dropped more and more.
So many TVB actors have gone north to the mainland to seek opportunities. Zhang Weijian and Guo Jinan, who were the first to go to the mainland in the early years, are their role models.
Huang Zongze also began to move to the mainland last year, filming mainland dramas "Detective Yang Jinbang" and "Young Detective Di Renjie" and other movies in Hengdian, and also participated in the recording of the outdoor variety show "2 Days and 1 Night of Star Family" for the first time.
Well, just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is a copy of the Korean "Two Days and One Night" program, and the copyright fee is not paid.
After hearing this, Wu Yuan's heart to poach people started to move again.
Seeing that TVB is now yesterday's dusk, it no longer has the momentum of dominating Hong Kong Island in the past, and its actors have also found their own branches. If they don't poach now, when will they?
Apart from anything else, Guangying Times is now in short supply of a handsome actor. Let alone Guangying Times, this type of actor is very scarce in the entire mainland.
In movies and TV series, handsome male characters are the most likely to appear, because this kind of personality setting is very conspicuous and easy to leave an impression on the audience, which is good for character creation.
So, Wu Yuan invited Huang Zongze to sign a contract on the spot, and even promised to help him solve TVB's breach of contract fee and wanted to bring him to the mainland for development.
This is a high-profile version of Zhu Yawen!
And now he is only in his thirties, which is the golden age for actors. It is very suitable for him to go to the mainland to roll around and put some pressure on mainland male actors! (End of this chapter)
