Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 18 What the hell are you so nervous about, you robber? Watch me!
The opening scene alone took almost 20 takes, which made Jiang Qinqin and Duan Long a little discouraged, but they also had a strong will to win and made positive adjustments each time.

Sun Honglei, who was watching from the side, leaned over to Wu Shixian and asked, "Has our director always been this strict?"

“He’s usually easy to get along with, but you know, work and life are two different things.” Fatty Wu shrugged.

Sun Honglei nodded silently. He didn't want to be cut off again and again later, so he quickly thought of the big thugs and ruthless people he had associated with in the past, and how he should act later.

An hour had passed, and Duan Long and Jiang Qinqin had lost count of how many takes they had done. Just then, Wu Yuchen said, "This take is okay. Keep it up, let's do it again!"

Both of them were relieved to hear this, finally receiving a word of affirmation.

Wu Yuchen then turned on the camera, and with an "action" signal, filming began.

In the afternoon, Wu Yuchen disregarded his image and knelt on one knee on the car, carrying a camera. He aimed the camera at Sun Honglei, who had just rushed onto the car, from a low angle. This shot showed the robber's imposing stature and ferocity from the passenger's perspective, allowing the audience to feel a sense of fear from the low angle.

Sun Honglei, who had previously had several NGs, performed very well. He held up a dagger, brandished it, frowned, and roared fiercely:
"Give me all the money!"
Are you all deaf?
Take them all off!

After saying that, he glared angrily at the passengers, his face contorted with malice as he muttered "Damn it," looking utterly nasty.

Then his henchmen sneered forward, grabbing the loot, and shouted, "Hurry up, all of you hurry up!"

"Pass!"

Wu Yuchen was very satisfied with this take. In fact, Sun Honglei's third performance was already quite good. However, he wanted to shoot two more takes of this scene where the robbers appeared to select the best one. Sure enough, this one was even better.

As expected, Sun Honglei is a natural at playing villains; casting him this time was definitely the right decision!
Then, Wu Yuchen walked to a seat at the back and said to the extra sitting there:
"If he hits you later, but not really in the face, I'll give you an extra 15 dollars. However, if he kicks you hard in the leg, that'll be 20 dollars. How about that?"

The extra's face lit up with joy: "It's alright, kick my legs all you want!"

After agreeing on this, Wu Yuchen went over to Jiang Qinqin and asked, "Are you ready?"

Seeing Jiang Qinqin nod, he shouted, "Alright, everyone take your positions for the next round!"

"action!"

"Brother, this bastard won't pay!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Honglei's brows furrowed: "Who is it? Are you fucking looking for death?!"

Just as he was about to walk over, Jiang Qinqin, who had been looking down and hunching her shoulders, immediately raised her head, forced a smile through her fearful expression, and whispered, "Big brother, no, I won't cause any trouble."

Then she turned to the passengers behind her and shouted, "Hey, you should just pay the money!"

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head again.

Sun Honglei turned his head and glanced at Jiang Qinqin, then walked straight to the middle-aged man who refused to pay, kicked him hard, and then grabbed his hair and punched him twice in the face.

The kick was captured clearly, but the camera was focused on Sun Honglei's profile when he was throwing the punch, so he didn't actually hit the extra in the face.

"Pass!"

Wu Yuchen first went over to the extra and asked, "Are you alright?"

Sun Honglei also pulled the extra aside and apologized, "Brother, I'm so sorry!"

The middle-aged extra smiled憨厚ly: "It's okay, my thighs are all fleshy, I can take a few kicks without any problem."

After saying that, he patted his thigh.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen stopped talking and called out, "Makeup artist!"

The makeup artist rushed over to do the makeup on the extra, mainly to depict the terrible state of his face after being beaten, at least making sure his nose was bleeding.

After the makeup was finished, Sun Honglei stepped forward and grabbed his hair again. "Action!"

The camera focused on the face of the extra, who was bleeding from the nose, bruised and swollen, with a pained expression. He covered his nose and then obediently handed the money to Sun Honglei.

Then Sun Honglei slapped the man across the face again. The camera followed his hand to his upper body, showing Sun Honglei slapping the man while holding a dagger in his other hand, his eyes flashing menacingly as he scanned the crowd, threateningly saying:
"Who else wants to cause trouble? Huh?!"
I'll take care of whoever it is!

As he spoke, he waved the dagger in his hand in the air, and then the camera gave a close-up of the passenger next to him, who obediently lowered his head.

"Pass!"

This scene was filmed several times, and there were two instances where the extras' expressions were simply unacceptable.

Wu Yuchen then looked at the sky outside, which was already showing signs of darkening. He realized he couldn't film any longer, so he raised his hand and clapped his hands, saying, "That's enough for today, let's call it a day!"

Upon hearing this, the entire crew breathed a sigh of relief and then began to busy themselves with packing their things.

The film is 11 minutes long, and we shot about 4 and a half minutes of it today, which is about acceptable.

The next scene is where the robbers take a liking to the female driver's beauty, drag her out and rape her. The character's emotions will be different here than before. We'll film all of this tomorrow so the actors can adjust their emotions and state.

……

The next day, in the roadside bushes.

"Crack!"

This scene was supposed to be a robber raping a female driver. Wu Yuchen wanted to get a close-up shot, but it took many takes.

Wu Yuchen roared at Sun Honglei:
"Hong Lei, you look so fierce, how come you're so soft when it comes to actually doing something?"

Sun Honglei stood up, his face contorted with grievance, and said:
"Director, I've never done this before, I'm nervous..."

"You're nervous? What's there to be nervous about?"
Look at Qinqin, she's not even nervous about being raped!

"What the hell are you so nervous about, you robber!"

Jiang Qinqin lay on the grass, looking up at Wu Yuchen scolding Sun Honglei. When she heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, then quickly put it away. She was going to film the reaction of being raped and struggling in pain, and she couldn't let this affect her performance.

"Make some quick adjustments, come back in 5 minutes!"

Unlike yesterday when the cameras were off at the beginning, now almost all of them are on and filming. Every time they yell "action," they're burning film, so it's no wonder Wu Yuchen is so angry.

Five minutes later, "Click!"

"Sun Honglei, are you even capable?!"

Wu Yuchen shouted angrily, shoved Sun Honglei aside, and then straddled Jiang Qinqin, who was lying on the ground.

"Damn it, you're so big, can't you even pull off a piece of clothing?!"

While yelling at Sun Honglei, Wu Yuchen grabbed Jiang Qinqin's collar with both hands.

Jiang Qinqin's red coat was already open, and Wu Yuchen was pulling on the collar of her inner coat.

Wu Yuchen turned his head and shouted to Sun Honglei, "Just be this cool, just be this arrogant!"

Perhaps he got too engrossed in the task, because his hands unconsciously started to exert force, and then there was a "ripping" sound, and the air instantly fell silent.
