Entertainment 1998

Chapter 584 Chapter 583, shocking change

In order to promote Shancheng, Shancheng has provided great help to the crew since the filming of the movie "Nobody".

Especially today, when Jiang Feng, Xu Jinglei, Dawei, Sun Honglei, Zhao Laonian and their group had just arrived at Chaotianmen Wharf, the Shancheng police had already set up a cordon here, and there were more than 300 police officers on the scene to maintain order.

Outside the cordon were people watching the excitement; inside the cordon, an area of ​​more than 4 square meters, was the filming site, and the people at the filming site were all extras.

Dawei represented the crew to negotiate with the police. According to the Shancheng police, there were more than 5000 ordinary people at the filming site alone.

Among them are real vendors, real barbecue stall owners, real tourists from other places, and of course, more are enthusiastic people from nearby streets...

Seeing so many extras, Dawei was really scratching his head.

According to the budget before filming, the last few scenes would have been grand with 2000 extras, but now there are 5000 people. If calculated based on a salary of 200 yuan per person, the total cost of these scenes alone would have exceeded one million.

"Director, what should we do?"

"It's okay, go ahead and shoot!"

Jiang Feng smiled and signaled Dawei to lead the crew to rehearse the scenes with more than 5000 extras.

What lines to say? How to walk in front of the camera? Don't look up at the camera when shooting from the air? What reaction should you make when you hear a gunshot? All of these require the crew to teach and rehearse.

Otherwise, when the official shooting starts, the scene will likely become a mess.

The person who led the Shancheng police team was named Lu, and seemed to be from the propaganda department. He was a kind person. When he saw Jiang Feng, he smiled and took out 6 CDs.

"Director Jiang Feng, my daughter is in her third year of high school and her favorite singer is you. When she knew that I was bringing a team here to help you film tonight, she insisted that I bring her treasured CD to you for your signature."

"Third year of high school... then, studying should be very intense.

What's your daughter's name?" Jiang Feng signed the CD while chatting with the policeman.

"Lü Yi, capital One." The policeman laughed cheerfully.

"Lü Yi!"

Jiang Feng repeated the sentence and wrote a blessing on the top CD.

【I wish Lü Yi success in the college entrance examination and a bright future! Jiang Feng, December 2001, 12. 】

"thanks, thanks."

Everyone likes auspicious words. When the police saw that Jiang Feng had written a blessing, they immediately expressed their gratitude with a smile.

However, Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

Lu Yi, this name seems a little familiar.

...

It took a little while. The crew came at 4pm, and the extras' segment rehearsal lasted until 6:pm.

As there were too many extras in the crew, Jiang Feng, who had originally planned to arrange dinner for everyone, temporarily cancelled this segment.

However, the dinner was cancelled, and both the extras and the police who were maintaining order on the scene were very happy, because the crew would convert the dinner into money and distribute it to everyone, together with a midnight snack, for 40 yuan per person.

In 2001, the living standard in China was not high, and the standard of 40 yuan for two meals per person was already very good.

In fact, according to Jiang Feng's idea, the food allowance was 50 yuan per person, but since the extras were paid 200 yuan each, if they were added together it would be 10 yuan, which was not a very auspicious number, so it was reduced by yuan.

The extras and the police didn't eat, so as crew members and actors, they naturally felt embarrassed to eat. Well, whoever was particularly hungry would eat some snacks such as hand-pulled pancakes, cold noodles, braised meat, etc. made by the extras on the set to fill their stomachs.

At 6:15 in the evening, Jiang Feng, who was holding a pancake in his hand, saw that the shooting scene was almost ready, so he raised the pancake in his hand.

"Action!"

In a corner of Chaotianmen Square, someone held a memorial service. The place was filled with wreaths and various funeral items. Several people were walking around holding paper pictures of the Black and White Impermanence, and a band was playing music.

An emcee held a microphone and shouted: "Boss Gao Minggao of Wei Lan Shui Yue, borrowed money to build a building, a hero, owed money and didn't pay it back, a coward..."

At this time, on a pedestrian bridge, Chen Kun was taking pictures frantically with his camera.

Huang Xiaoming, who was at the other end of the overpass, picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Attention, teams! Bo Zai's signal has reached Xishan Bridge. Keep your eyes open."

…“OK, passed, next set of shots.”

"Action!"

On the pedestrian bridge on the other side, Li Lianhua was standing there waiting with several police officers.

Policewoman Tang Wei noticed her nervousness and said, "Relax a little!"

Under the overpass, there was an old man dressed as the God of Wealth handing out flyers. He turned his head and glanced at the police on the bridge.

People were coming and going. Wang Likun, who was wearing a school uniform, was walking across the bridge. When the God of Wealth saw her, he immediately chased after her.

Wang Likun disappeared into the crowd.

As the God of Wealth was walking, he bumped into Guo Xiaodong who was about to go up the bridge.

Guo Xiaodong bent down to pick up the flyers for him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"OK, passed, next shot."

"Action!"

……

Since the shots are narrating the storyline and are relatively linear, the actors and extras do not need to have much acting skills. They only need to use body language to express the tense atmosphere of the scene.

In addition, they were offered high salaries, so the common people who served as extras were very happy and willing to cooperate with the filming crew.

Therefore, Jiang Feng started filming at a relatively fast speed. By 4:00 in the morning, at the brightly lit Chaotianmen Wharf, only the last scene was left to be shot.

"director…"

"Ok?"

"Are you sleepy?"

When the crew members were quickly setting up the shooting scene in an ambulance, Zhao Laonian walked over with a smile and handed over a cigarette.

"Thank you! I'm not sleepy yet."

Jiang Feng smiled and rejected his kindness.

"It's better not to smoke. Like me, I've been smoking for such a long time that now I can't quit even if I want to." Zhao Laonian shook his head and smiled bitterly, put the cigarette to his lips and lit it.

It seemed that he wanted to quickly smoke a cigarette to wake himself up while the crew was setting up the shooting scene.

"director…"

"Ok?"

"You've been busy tonight, and perhaps you don't know that several girls in our crew have received invitations from the Shancheng police, saying that they should not leave until the filming of the movie is completed. They are invited to travel here and visit the local security facilities and so on. Girls like Tang Wei, Wang Likun, and Dong Xuan have all agreed just now." Zhao Laonian spoke casually, as if he was just making up a story to avoid being embarrassed.

But when Jiang Feng heard this, he immediately frowned, took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Li Xing.

[Xiao Xing, don't say anything and don't ask anything. The plan has changed. We won't stay in Shancheng anymore, and the wrap party won't be held in Shancheng. You should immediately book the earliest flight back to Beijing for the crew.

Assuming that there are not enough tickets to return to Beijing, you must also ensure that all the girls in the crew are sent away, including your sister Li Lianhua. 〕

[Got it, Brother Feng.]

Li Xing has a strong execution ability. Seeing that Jiang Feng's text message was written seriously, he replied with one sentence and went to work.

At this time, Dawei raised the clapperboard in the ambulance.

"Action!"

Wang Likun suddenly ran into the ambulance and handed Zhao Laonian a book while crying. It was a biology textbook with her name written on the cover.

The father and daughter just looked at each other, and suddenly hugged each other tightly.

Several nurses rushed into the ambulance to perform on-site first aid, while special police and other police officers were handling follow-up matters at the scene.

Outside the ambulance, Liu Mu was pressed to the ground, but his head was still looking at the sky stubbornly.
