Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 180 Restraint
In Li Qiutang's design, a fixed long shot would be used here, and Jackie Chan would keep walking down.

The shoot was quite successful.

"Okay, it's passed." Li Qiutang said, "Brother has finished filming."

But Jackie Chan had already walked very far away and he didn't hear any sound from the set.

"Where is Big Brother?"

"If you don't call him, he will have already walked to Pengcheng!"

The stagehands quickly used a loudspeaker to shout down the mountain: "Brother Jackie Chan, it's ok! Come back!"

After shouting three times, Jackie Chan at the foot of the mountain finally reacted and walked back up the mountain.

"I'm wondering why you didn't say "cut". The camera can hardly capture me."

Li Qiutang invited Jackie Chan to watch the replay together. Although Jackie Chan is not good at literary drama, he is definitely not bad, especially as he gets older, his literary drama becomes more and more exquisite.

Apart from the faint smile facing the camera, in which only his back was captured in the long shot, he always maintained the state of an old man.

Go down step by step.

"Very good." Li Qiutang praised.

But Jackie Chan expressed his concerns: "This shot is completely an art film. Will it have an impact on your movie?"

"No, this is an Easter egg. It has no direct connection with the main plot of the film. It doesn't matter if the audience doesn't watch this shot." Li Qiutang completely understood Jackie Chan's concerns, so he put this shot in the easter egg at the end of the film. He would never dare to shoot it like this in the main film.

However, the contrast of warm and cold light in the feature film, the ups and downs representing the social classes, the lines dividing the gap between the rich and the poor, and Yang Peng running in the rain and seeing all kinds of people at the beginning, these techniques are all techniques used in art films.

Li Qiutang attempts to find his own balance between literature and art and business.

After watching his own shots, Jackie Chan went to remove his makeup and the crew called it a day.

While packing up, Li Qiutang's assistant director said he was wasting Jackie Chan.

"If you invite him to make a cameo, you should use him properly. You don't give him a single line and most of the time you only shoot his back. But he's Jackie Chan."

"You can't abuse it," Li Qiutang explained. "You can't give him too many roles just because he's a superstar. You have to be restrained no matter which actor you're filming. Although you should make the best use of everything, you can't really use it up.

"They've taken the time and energy to come and star in your drama for free, and you're still going to make things difficult for them?"

After packing up, Jackie Chan did not leave with the crew. He drove directly to the airport, saying that a movie was being prepared abroad and he wanted to go and see it.

Before leaving, he told Li Qiutang that the crew could use his villa in Repulse Bay at will, and he had already informed the property management that they would not interfere with the crew's filming. If the crew encountered any problems while filming in Hong Kong, they could tell the Cheng family team and his brothers would help the crew solve it.

The Cheng family team is the co-production team of "In Time" in Hong Kong, and of course they have to solve problems for the crew. One of the brothers of the Cheng family boasted that as long as the crew did not kill or set fire, they could handle anything that happened in Hong Kong.

He looks like a gangster big brother.

We finished work early today. Many people in the crew were visiting Hong Kong for the first time and had some money in their pockets, so many of them went shopping.

Li Qiutang didn't stop him, but just said, "It's not easy for you to come here, buy some things for your family. Some things in Hong Kong are cheaper than in the mainland, you can buy some."

Even Liu Yifei went shopping with her assistant.

Li Qiutang stayed in the hotel to meet with the Cheng family team and her own team to discuss tomorrow's filming.

Beep. Li Qiutang's phone rang. He quickly glanced at it and saw a text message from Liu Yifei: "Wait for me in the evening."

Okay, I'll leave the door open for you.

"It's okay, just continue." Li Qiutang motioned to his colleague to continue.

"I suggest that we shoot the literary scenes first and put the action scenes on hold. We still have some formalities to go through." "Why are there still some formalities that haven't been completed?" "In Time" has been filming for three months, and the Cheng family team had long been informed of the crew's needs.

"You want to shoot at IFC and Central, handsome boy." The Cheng family brother said, "The procedures are more complicated, but it's not a big problem, I will definitely get it done for you.

"Don't worry, I won't charge you if you can't handle it."

The meeting lasted until midnight. Before the meeting ended, Li Qiutang accepted a filming plan: "Is it possible to get a Ferrari or Lamborghini in such a short time?"

"Where is this? Hong Kong! Just tell me where you want to park the car." The Cheng family Stunt Team brothers patted their chests and assured Li Qiutang that as long as Li Qiutang could name the car, they could get it for the crew.

"Okay, let's get a cool Lamborghini to the set in a week, and we'll add a car racing scene." Li Qiutang knew very little about supercars.

After a while, Li Qiutang went back to her room to rest. Just after taking a shower, the doorbell rang. Li Qiutang opened the door and Liu Yifei rushed in.

"I was telling you not to come. It's so late."

"How could that be?" Liu Yifei took out a box as soon as she came in. "Here, this is for you."

"What is this?" Li Qiutang knew the stuff was not cheap just by looking at the box. He didn't even recognize the letters on the box.

"Open it and take a look."

It's a watch.

Liu Yifei said: "I wanted to give you a Rolex, but they had to match the goods. I was too lazy to bother with them, so I bought a Jaeger-LeCoultre."

"It's very expensive, right?" Although both of them were not short of money, Li Qiutang was still reluctant to accept gifts that were too expensive.

"You're already worth 2 million, so don't worry about these things." Liu Yifei interrupted Li Qiutang to accept the watch. "Put it on and let me see. It will definitely look good."

Except when working on the crew, Li Qiutang has no habit of wearing a watch. On the crew, he wears a cheap and durable small Casio watch.

Li Qiutang usually wouldn't even look at this kind of formal watch.

Liu Yifei said, "You will definitely have to attend many formal occasions in the future, and it will look good if you wear a formal watch like this. I don't want you to be like other directors, slovenly."

"I'm fine. I'm not unkempt." You know what, this watch is pretty nice.

"Go shave your beard." Liu Yifei patted Li Qiutang on the shoulder. "It hurt me yesterday."

"I forgot, haha, I forgot." Li Qiutang smiled and went into the bathroom to shave.

"Hey, how are you going to explain to your assistant that you bought a men's watch?" Liu Yifei took the assistant out.

"I just said I bought it for my dad." Liu Yifei lied without blinking, "I bought her a pair of shoes, she won't think too much about it."

Li Qiutang gave her a meaningful look, and Liu Yifei blushed: "How can I say otherwise? I said I would give it to the director as a bribe?"

"It's not impossible." A voice came from the bathroom.

Li Qiutang came out after shaving, and then he hugged the girl and moved his mouth upwards: "Let's see if it still hurts."

"Oh, you're so annoying and unruly." While cursing, she put her arms around Li Qiutang's neck.

"Only by being unruly can you catch up with the Fairy Lady." He said as he was about to take action.

But Liu Yifei slapped his hand away and said, "My relatives are here, so please don't bother me tonight, or I'll feel sick."

Li Qiutang then let her go, and she obediently leaned on Li Qiutang's arms and slept, and the two of them didn't speak a word all night.
