The next day, early in the morning, on the mountain city light rail.

Huang Bo covered his chest and almost vomited.

"Fuck, is this going to work? I've already drunk three or four cans. If I drink any more, my stomach will explode."

Bogo complained.

What is being filmed now is the scene where Dao Ge's trio attempts to use a coke scam to extort money on the light rail.

"You said the words wrong, blame me!" Ning Hao also complained.

"Let's do it again."

"I can't stand it. The smell of Coke is too strong." Huang Bo wanted to slow down.

"You are stupid. Why don't you just shake off all the gas in the Coke?" Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"Besides, just take a slap on the can, pour out the Coke and replace it with water."

Zhang Yuan picked up a can, opened it and started drinking it in one gulp. He felt very happy.

Ning Hao: ...

Huang Bo: …

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me drink so much." Huang Bo pushed him angrily.

"Who told you not to use your brain when filming?"

Zhang Yuan complained, and the two of them looked at each other awkwardly, neither daring to refute.

It’s not because of his identity as an investor.

The two knew that Zhang Yuan had no temper, of course, as long as it did not affect his interests.

The reason they didn't refute was because Zhang Yuan really had a way to deal with the problem.

And it's not just about spending money.

The shooting task yesterday morning was the ending shot of the whole film.

Hei Pi, played by Huang Bo, finally escapes from a manhole after being trapped for several days. Covered in dirt, stinking and black, he smashes the glass display case of the bakery and steals the bread inside.

Then he was caught up with by the fat boss riding a scooter onto the overpass.

Ning Hao took a fancy to the Rongqiao Interchange in the mountain city.

Because this overpass has a 720° super loop, the photos taken are both beautiful and have local characteristics.

But your small crew wants to close the road for filming?

Who gave you the courage!

Who cares about you?

Later, Zhang Yuan took the call and chatted with the local traffic management department.

His argument was simple.

"We are Liu Dehua's crew. We want to shoot at the overpass. One hour will be enough."

When people heard it was Andy Lau, they thought that Brother Hua’s movie must be a blockbuster.

The road only needed to be closed for an hour, which gave the crew the time period from five to six in the morning.

It was just then that daylight began to rise.

According to the professional terminology used in filming movies and TV series, this is called "density".

Generally, cameramen will say "the density has increased".

It generally refers to the two periods just after sunrise and about to sunset.

These two time points are called the "Golden Hour" and the "Blues Hour" in Hollywood.

The light at these two times is the softest, the shots taken have the best atmosphere, and it is easy to produce artistic-level shots with a hazy feeling.

After all, movies, photography, and even game graphics are actually the art of light.

Several police motorcycles blocked both ends of the overpass, and Ning Hao quickly started filming.

Huang Bo was covered in black mud, his face was unrecognizable and he was running wildly on the overpass.

The police on both sides stood on tiptoe to watch and murmured.

"This makeup technique is amazing."

"Liu Dehua looks so handsome on TV, but after putting on makeup, he looks unrecognizable..."

When they heard Zhang Yuan say that it was Liu Dehua's crew, they thought that it was Brother Hua who was filming.

In fact, let alone putting on makeup, even without makeup, Huang Bo often doesn't look like a human being... This is what Brother Liu Hua said.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan was not talking nonsense. This was indeed Liu Dehua's crew. After all, he was an investor.

In the end, the traffic police were so frustrated that several of the guys who came with cameras excitedly and wanted to take photos almost cursed at them.

It was Zhang Yuan who was more clever. He gave each of them a set of Baleno fashion, and the situation was finally calmed down.

Free sponsors.

Therefore, Ning Hao and Huang Bo were very impressed by his straightforward and evasive approach.

Moreover, although he was an investor, he never received any special treatment in the crew.

That's why the crew members respect him.

For example, the scene where he finally escaped from the ventilation duct and stood opposite Huang Bo who had just left the manhole.

Huang Bo was covered in stinky mud, and he was also covered in black dust, and his clothes were tattered, but they were not treated any differently.

Neither of them relied on makeup artists to create their tattered and dirty looks.

As usual, Huang Bo smeared mud on his body, while Zhang Yuan found an old furnace in an abandoned factory and smeared a lot of old coal ash on his body.

And this scene is different from the previous one where they made a phone call in the manhole.

Huang Bodezhen climbed out of the sewer.

It turned out to be too smelly and stuffy inside.

There is methane in many sewers, and Huang Bo felt dizzy while holding it in while waiting to start filming. Gradually, he lost strength all over his body.

Zhang Yuan reacted quickly and grabbed him up.

Otherwise, if you really fall down, even if you don’t die, you will have to eat your fill.

Brother Bo naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly. After coming up, he lay flat on the road and relaxed for a long time.

Huang Bo is a very capable person. Just like what Liu Hua, who plays Dao Ge, said, this guy will succeed 100%.

I was just fainted by the smoke, but I gritted my teeth and rested for about ten minutes, then climbed down again, holding my breath to complete the shot.

With such a group of professionals who are dedicated to creation, it would be unfair if this film didn't succeed.

"Are you sure you can come alone?" A day or two later, on the rooftop of the New York New York Building at Jiefangbei.

This building is 228 meters high and was the tallest commercial building in the entire mountain city at that time.

Ning Hao looked at Zhang Yuan with shock on his face.

"I mean I'll do the window shots myself."

"Of course we have to use a professional stand-in to go downstairs. I'm not a lunatic." Zhang Yuan cursed.

This scene is the most dangerous one in the whole film.

The content is that the international thief Mike rappelled from the roof of a high-rise building and entered the office of Mr. Feng, played by Xu Zheng, through the window.

"That's dangerous enough. The office is on the 19th floor." Ning Hao pondered.

"Stop talking nonsense. It saves time if I shoot it myself. The shots can be connected. Otherwise, I have to go back and forth again."

After saying that, he asked the props brother to tie a safety rope for him, and then he climbed out of the window using his hands and feet.

"That's so tall..." Xu Zheng, who was acting in a supporting role, stuck his bald head out of the window and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, awesome..."

Teacher Xu thought to himself, he dared to go into such a dangerous situation alone, no wonder it only took this guy a few years to go from being ignored to becoming famous.

If I were in your place, I might not dare to come.

For the first time, he felt admiration for this junior.

In fact, this kind of high-altitude drama is really dangerous.

We had originally planned to shoot the scene of rappelling from the top of a tall building yesterday.

Hong Kong martial arts director Luo Lixian personally led the team and found a professional stunt double.

Initially, the crew planned to use the office building's window cleaning machine to lower the people to a fixed position before starting filming.

Because when designing this kind of skyscraper, most of them will reserve metal tracks for window cleaning machines on the roof. Window cleaning machines are divided into two types: Spiderman window cleaning machines and hanging baskets.

This building happens to use the same crane that hangs Spider-Man, which is perfect for filming.

However, the building property management said that the air quality has been good recently and the windows had just been cleaned a few months ago. Also, this machine can only be operated by a professional company, so it cannot be used.

This made Ning Hao feel very uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been with Zhang Yuan for too long or if it’s just my nature.

The old guy suddenly slammed the table while eating dinner in the evening.

"Gan!"

"At night I go to the public toilet and scoop some golden juice and pour it on their glass from the roof."

"So they'll have to find someone to clean the windows."

"Then we can borrow other people's window-cleaning machines for filming."

Zhang Yuan was shocked by this wicked idea and he scolded him immediately.

"Shut up!"

"We are having dinner, is it appropriate for you to talk about the public toilet?"

"And can this be done?"

When everyone saw Zhang Yuan speaking, they felt that he had a strong sense of justice.

"You did it too obviously. People can guess it right away. Besides, there are surveillance cameras on the rooftop of the building. I've already checked it!"

Everyone:...

So you don't think this is a bad idea, but you think it's not feasible.

"Yuan, why are you studying the camera on the roof of someone else's building?" Huang Bo grasped the key point of his words: "You don't have the same idea as Haozi, do you?"

"You two are a perfect match."

"How dare you defame someone's innocence like this!" Zhang Yuan swung his arms.

He didn't have such evil thoughts as Ning Hao, but since he had learned too much from Huang Cuzi's faction, he became a little sensitive to cameras.

Every time I go to a place, I can't help but tap all the monitoring locations...

In the end, Ning Hao was stopped. When people have no money, they can think of all kinds of evil ways.

Later, when filming this scene, the rope got tangled. Coupled with the strong winds that blew between the buildings from time to time, the stuntman was thrown all over the place at a height of dozens of meters, which was very dangerous.

After seeing this, Zhang Yuan admired even more actors like Tom Cruise in Hollywood who are big brothers but still take on dangerous roles themselves.

They really work hard.

Zhang Yuan is not envious at all that he and people like Jackie Chan make so much money.

On this side, as soon as the camera turned on, Zhang Yuan turned over and went straight into the house, then took off his hood and came to the safe.

The purpose of his character is to steal the gems and hand them over to the boss who hired him.

After all, he is very professional and dedicated.

But what he didn't know was that the so-called boss was Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng had just shot and killed the secretary Siyan, played by Wang Xun, with a crossbow arrow because the latter threatened him.

As the camera switched, he lay down in front of the safe, took out a stethoscope and hung it on his ear, while putting the other end on the lock ring of the safe.

"Damn, I thought the movies were all shot randomly, but it turns out it's really possible!"

Zhang Yuan used his fingers to turn the lock ring very slowly and lightly.

When moved into the correct position, the mechanical "click" in the stethoscope will sound slightly different.

Combined with the inheritance of Huang Quezi's school, Zhang Yuan is confident that he can unlock this mechanical safe worth thousands of dollars within ten minutes.

"Hey!"

He lay on the ground opening the box, while Teacher Xu Zheng behind him pointed a crossbow at him.

According to the script, after he shouted, Zhang Yuan should have stood up and confronted him.

But after Teacher Xu shouted, Zhang Yuan didn't respond at all.

Teacher Xu was a little confused. Isn't it written like this in the notebook?

After all, he was a veteran actor, so he responded immediately and picked up the disposable paper cup at hand and threw it at him.

"Oh!" Zhang Yuan shuddered and stood up.

"Stop...hahahaha!" Ning Hao laughed and waved his hands.

"Okay, great."

"Especially just now, Zhang Yuan was free to act and didn't stand up when he called people the first time. This behavior was very funny."

"Teacher Xu Zheng's catch was also very high. It turns out that everyone in our group is an expert."

Zhang Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

He really didn't hear it.

My hands are itching, and I'm addicted to opening the boxes.

Just now, the sense of accomplishment and desire to open the safe was far greater than filming this scene well.

The soul of Huang Cuzi's lineage is burning fiercely in his body.

Zhang Yuan slapped his arm and said, "Why can't I control my hand?"

The next scene is the duel between Zhang Yuan and Xu Zheng.

One shoots a pen and the other throws a throwing knife.

In the end, one died and one was injured.

Ning Hao originally wanted to save money, so he asked the prop guy to make a set of equipment similar to a fishing rod and a hanging line, intending to fly in front of the camera with a prop knife and a pen hanging on it.

It feels a bit like a special effects film.

But after trying several times, the results were very poor.

In the end, I had no choice but to decide to use special effects.

"I just happen to have a friend who knows how to do this." Zhang Yuan said while patting Ning Hao's shoulder.

"Special effects?"

"Correct."

He immediately called Huang Weimin who was still filming in Hengdian.

In addition to being a director, he was also the special effects supervisor for "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

"Okay, it's just one or two shots, only more than ten seconds. If you don't have high requirements for the picture quality, it will probably be a few thousand yuan per second." Although Huang Weimin doesn't have time to do it, he knows a lot of friends.

"According to this calculation, the only computer special effect in the entire film must have cost tens of thousands of dollars."

Ning Hao felt pain in his heart when he heard this.

Not to mention Ning Hao, Zhang Yuan also felt that the price was shocking.

No wonder the movie "The Legend of Zu" which had more than 4000 special effects shots was almost bankrupted by Xiang Hua's wall scam.

But at the same time, it also opened up a new idea for money laundering for him.

This led to the later "Legend of the Gods".

After all, no one knows exactly how much special effects cost, so it is very convenient to do accounting.

"Okay, I'll have the director contact you and ask you to help me."

"OK, we are all family." Director Huang agreed very kindly.

"By the way, the first three episodes of 'My Dear Daughter, My Good Mother' have been almost completed. You said before that you would help find sales channels..." Director Huang asked.

In fact, he was quite anxious. After all, even if Zhang Yuan gave the company operating expenses, it would not be a long-term solution if no one bought the animation.

"Well, send it to me when you're done. I'll contact the TV station after I'm done with this crew."

Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others were listening and looked at each other.

Is he so busy?
Do you still need to go to TV stations to sell cartoons?

Actually they don’t know.

Zhang Yuan went to the TV station to sell cartoons only for a short while. More importantly, he had to work with SMG's boss Li to do something... (End of this chapter)
