Chapter 65 Pure and beautiful
After a few polite words, Du Sheng knew that time was running out, so he got straight to the point:
"Director Du, I've roughly read the script you asked Director Ju to send.
What is being filmed first now is the hero’s fight against his inner demons, and the chase and fight between the murderer and the police officer who escapes, right?
I have already compiled the detailed design and moves, would you like to review them first?"
Du Qifeng glanced to the side again, and finally a hint of surprise arose in his heart.
The script was just sent out yesterday, and you’ve already come up with the idea now?
Judging from this ridiculously fast speed, even a professional martial arts director like Won Bin is inferior to him.
Of course, there is no point in making things up.
Everything has to be closely integrated with the film's plot, characters, photography, editing, etc.
"Okay, now."
Du Qifeng turned his head and shouted to a gentle middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who was directing the scene arrangement:
"Ah Hui, Xiao Du has designed the fighting scene, come and take a look?"
The middle-aged man is Wei Jiahui, also a director who has made many films.
A few years ago, he and Du Qifeng opened Milkyway Image Company, which was regarded as the beginning of a new era in Hong Kong.
Wei Jiahui looked at Du Sheng, and without too much politeness, he went straight to the point to discuss the details and planning of the action scenes.
There is some careful consideration involved here.
However, who is Du Sheng? He has some matching memories from his previous life, so he can just copy the answers from the book.
Even if I don't remember most of the details, it's not difficult to fill in the gaps with my knowledge and action director skills.
This combination not only makes the film's bizarre detective process more thrilling, but also tightly arranges the fighting scenes with a proper balance of movement and stillness.
It even improved some of the childish moves that were rated low by the audience in the previous life.
For example, the flying skills of the murderer Tianzhu Asan were tried to be close to reality.
"If I hadn't heard from Lao Du that he gave you the script yesterday, I would have almost suspected that you were a borer in our stomach."
After a few minutes, Wei Jiahui, who was usually taciturn, looked at Du Sheng in surprise and expressed his admiration in words.
"It's really good, the idea is tricky, the key is to keep up with our pace!"
Du Qifeng's attitude also changed from previous casualness, and his words were filled with excitement.
He smiled and patted Du Sheng's shoulder, showing some enthusiasm:
"Our crew is in need of capable and creative people like you. Welcome to join us."
At this moment, Du Sheng was no longer dispensable in his eyes, but became a treasure trove full of potential.
As Du's best partner, Wei Jiahui knew very well why Du Qifeng was so happy.
Because Du Sheng's design idea strangely fits the theme of this drama:
[You can’t take anything with you, only your karma! 】
In just one day, the other party not only designed the complex fighting scenes, but also met their thoughts and ideas.
Which director would not be surprised by such a genius?
Du Sheng secretly felt ashamed, after all, he was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors.
But this thought only flashed through my mind.
This is the prophetic advantage.
He smiled and said:
"Are we going to shoot today? Then let someone prepare it?"
Of course Du Qifeng wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and looked at Wei Jiahui:
"As for the Indian guy, let's shoot his chase scene first."
This is a scene that connects the preceding and the following.
The synopsis is that the heroine, who plays the inspector of the serious crime squad, is investigating a homicide case.
When they arrived at the crime scene, the area was in a mess, with a man's body torn apart and lying in a pool of blood. Suddenly, the police dog barked at an iron box.
According to Du Sheng's fighting design that fits the plot, a thriller is used here:
When the police officers opened the iron box, they found a bloody head hidden inside!
The next moment, the head suddenly opened its eyes.
The murderer played by an Indian actually used the skill of shrinking his body to hide his entire body inside an iron box that was less than three feet long and 40cm wide!
Then, the whole person twisted and moved like a spiral, and came out to kill people.
Although he was outnumbered and captured after being hit by tear gas in the end, the murderer used his bone-shrinking skills to break free from the handcuffs and chains and escaped in the police car.
During this period, chases on the road are inevitable.
The murderer also used a technique similar to "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada" to jump onto the wall to avoid bullets, looking like a flying man...
"Everything is ready, let's start shooting!"
With the shout from the stage manager, the actors scattered around quickly arrived at their positions.
Wei Jiahui saw that Du Sheng was a little strange and explained:
"Andy Lau hasn't arrived yet. We originally planned to start filming tomorrow, but he came here today to familiarize himself with the scene."
Du Sheng nodded slightly, understanding it.
After all, Liu Dehua's current popularity is at the top of the list.
Busy for sure.
As all the actors arrived, he also saw Zhang Baizhi, who played the heroine, for the first time.
She is indeed pure and beautiful, standing out from the crowd.
Although she has only been in the industry for a few years, she has risen rapidly in the Hong Kong film and television industry and has become a leader among the younger generation of actresses.
Since entering the entertainment industry, every work she starred in has received good box office praise.
Coupled with her outstanding appearance and temperament, she has become one of the most popular female stars.
For example, just now, ever since Zhang Baizhi showed up, the reporters and media following her have been focusing madly on her.
Although her role is quite ordinary, her good looks are enough to kill everything.
However, facing the reporters who surrounded and questioned her, her expression did not change much, and she did not even respond in a perfunctory manner.
"Bai Zhi, this is the new action director."
Du Qifeng knew that Zhang Baizhi was most likely in a relationship problem, but he would not indulge her and called her over:
"After we finish filming the murderer's chase scene, it will be your turn to chase the murderer. Follow Ah Sheng's instructions for the details."
Out of courtesy, Du Sheng nodded slightly.
Zhang Baizhi just glanced at him, nodded, and took out her mobile phone to play.
"She's in a bad mood today."
Wei Jiahui happened to pass by and whispered to Du Sheng:
"Mrs. Xiang dotes on her very much and treats her like a goddaughter. As long as she doesn't interfere with filming, we usually turn a blind eye."
Du Sheng had no intention of paying attention to it, and of course didn't take it to heart.
And if he guessed correctly, the other party was in a bad mood and should be caught in the "Feng Zhifei love triangle".
Just two days ago, the extremely popular Xie Tingfeng turned over a new leaf and reunited with the "Queen of Singing" Wang Fei.
It would be strange if Zhang Baizhi, who was hit hard, could laugh.
If that incident wasn't still several years away, I probably wouldn't even be in the mood to be perfunctory right now.
"Everyone, take your positions again!"
Du Qifeng gave instructions to the wire crew, while Du Sheng looked at the translation of Indian artist Ali Fazal:
"Have you memorized all the key points of the movements?"
"First, he dodged at high speed to avoid the bullets shot by the police, then he ran up the wall, demonstrated the characteristics of 'eight steps to chase the cicada', and then turned in the air and stabbed back with the long sword in his hand..."
This young Indian man is about eighteen or nineteen years old. He doesn't know Mandarin or Cantonese, and even his English is poor. He has to rely on translation for everything. It is estimated that he relies on foreign resources.
I took two shots before, but both were bumpy.
Such a simple thing had to be reshot. When they thought about working overtime tonight, many people in the crew were getting impatient...
