As superstar characters, Fa Ge and Hua Zai have limited time, so Li He was the first to start filming their scenes and end their cameos as soon as possible.Ren Dahua ended the last project and officially reported on the crew.The crew has already arrived, quietly waiting for the start-up ceremony.According to the custom on Hong Kong Island, it is necessary to worship God and incense to Guan Gong when the machine is turned on, and later this custom spread to the mainland, and the ceremony of worshipping God on the machine has also become a custom.But Li He is a staunch materialist, and a character who has been dead for thousands of years will bless the film with a smooth future?
Li He doesn't believe it, this is not an urban fantasy novel, and it has no superpowers.In addition, a press conference is usually held before the start-up, and fans will know that there is such a film that has started filming through publicity, who the director is, what the starring actors are, what story is roughly told, the specific release time, etc., will be promoted at the start-up press conference.However, Li He had no such plan at all, and after gathering everyone to take a group photo, he began the filming of the first scene.Those crew members who worked with Li He on the last project can say that they know Li He's temperament to some extent, but the crew members on Hong Kong Island have a lot of discussions."
Director, is there something missing?"
A props master of the crew asked Li Hedao, and a mouthful of Gangpu sounded uncomfortable."
You still speak Cantonese!
Can I understand, what's going on?
Let's talk as we go. ”Li He rubbed his ears and walked to the director's studio.The prop master followed behind Li He and said: "We still have the opening ceremony to worship the gods, and without this link, the brothers always feel uncertain in their hearts. ”Li He stopped, looked at the prop master and said, "I don't believe in immortals, I only believe in horse gods and grace gods, so there is no need to waste time doing another worship ceremony." ”"But.........
But........, But the brothers didn't have a boot ceremony, I'm afraid they won't be able to do their work well, so I think I still have to ......."
The prop master was interrupted by Li He before he finished speaking."
I don't want you to think, I want me to think, that's all, hurry up and get ready!"
The prop master left stupidly, and Huang Xiaoming, who came to Li He on the side, always felt inexplicably familiar when he heard that sentence, so he didn't think much about it, followed Li He into the director's studio and discussed the role with Li He.When the prop master returned to the set, a large circle of people immediately gathered around him, asking about the situation in a mess, and when he heard that Li He would not prepare to start the worship ceremony, a few bold people couldn't help but curse in a low voice.Fortunately, the prop master seems to be the boss of this group of people, and he stopped the behavior of those people in time, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.You must know that the film industry on Hong Kong Island is now sluggish, and there are only a handful of film projects that start every year, and many people have no food.Now this job is only grabbed after fighting for the head.The whole family is counting on this salary to support you, if a director who doesn't pay attention to offend you, people will fire you, and there will be no place to cry.It must not be said that the director or the ordinary staff of the crew is important, if you don't do the god worship ceremony, you won't do it, anyway, as long as the money is not less, these Hong Kong Islanders have compromised with reality.In fact, there is still a strong atmosphere of old boys in the Hong Kong Island film industry, and if the boss is done, the younger brother will naturally be obedient.This stems from the problems left over from history, the glorious period of Hong Kong films in the eighties and nineties was also the most rampant time for gangsters on Hong Kong Island, when gangsters controlled many film companies and theaters, and they were powerful in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.It is said that Hua Zai was once filmed with a gun by the gangsters, and the crew of the eldest brother Cheng Long was harassed by the old boy every day, so that the eldest brother went out with seven or eight bodyguards.After the return, the gang gradually disappeared, and the situation improved, but the righteousness of the rivers and lakes remained.Here, Li He looked at the script, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand, waiting for the executive director to say that it was ready.Wang Hejun, who served as the producer, came over."
Director, isn't the launch conference held?"
In Huaxia, the director is always the core of the crew, and even the producer will call the director in order to show respect for the director."
Hold what?
Doesn't the audience know the cast?
”Li He said."
Ugh!
But ......," Wang Hejun said, but did not continue."
There is nothing but, this film is not a commercial route, the previous commercial film model is not applicable, and I hope that the Penguin Pictures publicity department will focus on the awards season."
Li He said.Although "The Seven Deadly Sins" achieved a good global box office of $300 million in the previous life, Li He is not sure whether the Chinese version of "The Seven Deadly Sins" can still achieve such good results.A young overly director, the first film of his career was a huge success, and then the second big investment hit the street, I'm afraid that is the story of Hurt Zhongyong.Li He hopes that "The Seven Deadly Sins" can keep its capital and then reap a wave of awards, so that his current floating reputation can be stabilized.Here, Wang Hejun went to arrange publicity matters, not only "The Seven Deadly Sins", but also "The Genius Gunman", DreamWorks has two goals, one is the best new director, the other is the best screenplay, and other awards are expected.Film awards are a very systematic work, and some things are even advanced to the beginning of the film's project.The awards season requires public relations, and although Penguin Pictures is a company that has not been established for a few years, thanks to the public relations team of the parent company, Penguin Pictures' public relations strength should not be underestimated.In the commercial society of North America, every Oscar season is the most active time for Weinstein Pictures, and its public relations strength can even affect the Oscar selection.And Huaxia, a humane society, not to mention, Andy and Fa Ge have long promised to help, and Wang Xuanqing from the mainland also promised to go to sit with an old friend and give Li He a few beautiful words."
Director, get ready......" voice came over the intercom."
Got it......"
Li He returned, and then beckoned to Tang Qianqian: "Qianqian, go to the set." ”"Okay, come ...... right away" Tang Qianqian sent out the edited copy and followed Li He with him.A group photo was released on the official blog of DreamWorks Studio with a text to celebrate the start of filming of director Li He's new film, and the stars standing in front of him were shining.Fa Ge, Andy also took a group photo together despite their cameo appearances, as well as Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jingchu, Ren Dahua and several other leading actors.As soon as Weibo was posted, it quickly attracted attention, with more than 10,000 likes and more than 1,000 comments in a short period of time, and then quickly appeared on the hot search.Not to mention Huang Xiaoming, who is popular, as well as Fa Ge, Andy and others who have many fans, Li He's popularity alone remains high.Although it is strange that a director has so many fans, "Seven Deadly Sins" has indeed attracted the attention of many fans.Today's first scene was filmed in the scene of Hua Zai, which is the part where the prosecutor was interviewed.A famous lawyer has just died, and the old detective Abu is still investigating the case of gluttony death, so the case is taken over by the newly arrived detective Tang Ren."
Are you all ready?"
Li He decided to take charge of the camera himself for the first time."
Ready, director......" everyone replied in unison."
OK, please come here."
Li He instructed the executive director.Andy soon came to the filming location, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, meticulous hair, with a little majesty between his eyebrows, and at first glance he was a high-powered government official.This is all thanks to the makeup team on this Hong Kong Island, which is worthy of being a veteran of the industry for many years, and immediately caught the feeling that Li He wanted."
Andy OK no?"
Li Hyuk asked Andy, and Andy motioned to wait for him for five minutes.Li He nodded in understanding, and shouted with a megaphone: "The actor is ready, Lao Hu will talk to the group again about the main points." ”"Okay, director, I'll go ...... right away" Executive director Lao Hu hurriedly called a group performance to tell the main points of this scene.After Andy signaled that he could start, Li He shouted: "OK, all departments are in place, and the field notes are ready." ”"It's coming, it's coming!"
Zheng Nengsong held up in front of the camera to make patterns.
“OK，areyouready?”
“Action……”
