The gambling ship departing from Hong Kong has not yet sailed into the high seas. Before the gambling game started, most of the gamblers who boarded the ship were recharging their energy, waiting to show their great power later.
It wasn¡¯t until cameras, railcars, wires and other filming equipment were introduced that the few tourists who came purely for boat gambling and sightseeing shouted in surprise: ¡°Look, look, look, we¡¯re going to make a movie!¡±
"Isn't that Wang Zijun?"
"It's true, Wang Zijun is filming a movie on a gambling boat!"
¡°Hurry over and ask for an autograph.¡±
""
Ni Zhen is different from his eloquent father. His literary talent has been inherited by his father Ni Kuang and his aunt Yi Shu, but he is not very good at words. However, since I came to work as Wang Zijun's assistant, I have obviously had many more opportunities to practice in this area.
Before those tourists could approach Wang Zijun, Ni Zhen started the task assigned to him by Wang Zijun. He clapped his hands and shouted: "We are recruiting extras. Friends who want to experience making a movie, please come to me and get an actor card. After the filming is completed, everyone will be paid."
¡°Choose me, choose me, I don¡¯t want a paycheck!¡± A woman in her thirties, wearing gold and silver, raised her hand in response.
¡°I don¡¯t want a paycheck either, I want Master Jun¡¯s autograph!¡± another punter shouted.
The casino suddenly became noisy. Ni Zhen shouted for a long time but could not stop the noise and chaos in front of him. He could only look to Wang Zijun for help.
Wang Zijun smiled and nodded to Tu Zhongxun, who picked up the microphone, jumped on a gambling table and shouted: "Quiet!"
Seeing that few people listened to him, Tu Zhongxun yelled again: "Whoever talks again will not be allowed to act!"
As soon as these words came out, the gamblers near Tu Zhongxun all shut up. Although I don¡¯t know what happened afterwards, it gradually became quiet.
Tu Zhongxun threw the shouting microphone to Ni Zhen and said, "You will do it next!"
Ni Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Take your time one by one and come to me to get your actor card."
"Coax!" A group of people rushed towards Ni Zhen, drowning him in an instant, and the scene became chaotic again.
Wang Zijun shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ni Kuang privately asked Wang Zijun to take the opportunity to exercise Ni Zhen's ability to do things.
After more than half an hour, Ni Zhencai got help from Tu Zhongxun. Tell tricks to extras. In fact, there is nothing to talk about. The dealer should do whatever he wants during the shooting, and the gamblers still gamble. Only after a fight breaks out on site will there be special requirements for individual people.
Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ira Claudia put on their makeup and the three beauties immediately stunned the audience with their looks.
With Wang Zijun's current fame and status, he naturally disdains being like the director of "Charlie's Angels" who frequently gave close-ups of the heroine's buttocks and breasts, deliberately wearing revealing clothes to show the audience.
But when it comes to dressing up, Wang Zijun still put a lot of thought into it and discussed it with costumers, stylists and other professionals for many days. There were seven or eight sets of outfits for the three heroines alone. Cool, sexy, graceful all kinds of styles, to name a few.
The clothes worn by the three heroines now. Lizhi is dressed casually, with white flared trousers swaying, making people involuntarily pay attention to her slender legs. Yang Ziqiong is wearing a denim outfit, which adds a bit of freedom and heroism to her body, while still maintaining her femininity. The most eye-catching. But it was Ila Claudia who was wearing a tight-fitting leather outfit. The shiny black material tightened her body around her, making her look like a queen.
There were many gamblers at the scene who were resting in the room. They came out to watch after hearing that a movie was being filmed here. Now as soon as the three women showed up, many men's eyes suddenly lit up.
¡°There are many rich and famous people among these gamblers, eating ice cream with their eyes at the same time. I was already thinking about how to be attentive and get these women into bed.
Huang Qiusheng's scene on the gambling boat was less than one minute, and his main roles were in Macau and Taiwan. However, in order to seize the opportunity to leave a good impression on the director, he was busy at this time, helping with the stage management. The light stand helped the sound engineer move the microphone for a while, and he was more active than anyone else.
Wu Han, who plays the killer doctor, is currently surrounded by Wang Zijun and Yuan Heping along with Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong, and Ira Claudia.
"Lizhi, when you see Wu Han escaping later, climb over the railing over there. Be careful to flip smoothly and aesthetically. Ira, jump on the gaming table and swing the chandelier to the front to intercept Wu Han. Sir, Ziqiong, shoot the zipline from upstairs and slide down from the air to block the door" Wang Zijun pointed at Yuan Heping and said, "Now let Master Yuan tell you the specific essentials and what you should pay attention to."
Yuan Heping often collaborated with Wang Zijun in the past and knew that he likes to play big scenes with medium and long shots in his fight scenes, which places high demands on the actors and cameramen.?Especially now that four people are still playing together. He didn't say much, and just led a few people to demonstrate, explaining the essentials while demonstrating.
After talking for a long time, Yuan Heping asked several people to prepare separately, then walked up to Wang Zijun and whispered: "Director, is Yang Ziqiong's high-altitude zipline a bit too difficult for her? Or use a stand-in, just in case. It would be difficult to handle if an accident occurs.¡±
Wang Zijun shook his head and said: "Using stand-ins will affect the continuity of the entire set of shots. Besides, the three of them have been training for more than half a year, and their physical fitness is better than that of many female soldiers currently in service. This difficulty is nothing."
Seeing Wang Zijun¡¯s insistence, Yuan Heping could not say anything more. He was only worried about whether the three delicate girls could complete the task.
Lin Bowen asked several bodyguards to pay attention to Wang Zijun's safety, and he ran to pat Huang Qiusheng on the shoulder and said: "You idiot, do you need to move the equipment? Damn it, you are also the third male lead in this drama. , I can handle every situation for you."
"Brother Wen, it's okay." Huang Qiusheng smiled.
"Shame!" Lin Bowen remembered his former self as soon as he saw Huang Qiusheng. Although he had never filmed, he had been with Wang Zijun for several years, and he knew the rules of the crew very well. He gave guidance, "Don't do those useless things. Later, let¡¯s see more about how other actors find their camera positions, how they read the camera, and even how they position themselves to grab the scene within the bottom line of the director not being displeased. You can¡¯t learn the essence of these things in a training class. You are a newcomer. , studying these is the right way.¡±
"Thank you, Brother Wen, for your advice." Huang Qiusheng has an extreme personality. I usually offend many people. The purpose of trying to please the other people in the crew just now was just to seize this rare opportunity to change the family's poverty predicament and prevent my mother and grandmother from working so hard. The thank you to Lin Bowen now comes from the bottom of my heart.
Lin Bowen saw a middle-aged man walking towards him and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this our big star Luo? Why are you on the boat too?"
"In front of Brother Wen. How dare I become a big star? You are joking." The middle-aged man said with a shy face and a smile.
Huang Qiusheng asked: "Brother Wen, who is this?"
"Luo Lie. China Television's big star, he has many fans in Taiwan." Lin Bowen is very familiar with the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan because he often runs errands for Wang Zijun.
Talk about it. Luo Lie is considered the first Chinese action star to break into Hollywood, even earlier than Bruce Lee. The most popular stars in Hong Kong in the 1970s were Bruce Lee and Wang Yu, but Bruce Lee and Wang Yu could only be regarded as juniors in front of Luo Lie.
However, with the gradual decline of Shaw Brothers, Luo Lieh rarely received roles in the mid-1970s. By the 1980s, he simply quit Shaw Brothers and moved to Taiwan. In recent years, Taiwanese movies have been booming, and TV series have also sold well. Luo Lie, who knows some real kung fu, is prospering in China Television.
¡° Such a popular star, yet he humbled himself in front of Lin Bowen. Naturally, it was because Wang Zijun was standing behind Lin Bowen.
Luo Lie has always wanted to hook up with Wang Zijun, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, when he came to the high seas to gamble, he unexpectedly encountered Wang Zijun filming, and he immediately became happy. Ni Zhen was busy there for a long time, and Luo Lie was given confused instructions for a few minutes. Then he knew that Ni Zhen was a newbie who didn't know anything, so he didn't bother to wait and ran over to get close to Lin Bowen.
"Brother Wen, do you need help with Master Jun? I can also act as a substitute for being beaten." Luo Lie said with a casual smile.
Lin Bowen didn't know what Luo Lie was thinking. In the past few years, he had blocked many such people. He said with a serious face: "Mr. Luo should stop doing this kind of thing. Otherwise, people will say that Mr. Wang bullied his seniors." "
"No, no, no, I don't know how many people are rushing to do things for Master Jun." Luo Lie said.
Lin Bowen said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Wang later, but I can't guarantee whether you will be used."
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Wen. I won't bother you for now." Luo Lie saw Lin Bowen's expression was impatient and immediately left.
After Luo Lie left, Huang Qiusheng said: "This man is very old and very thick-skinned."
Lin Bowen explained: "Recently, China Television has a martial arts boy named Liu Dekai who is very popular, pushing Luo Lie's old face to the side. He can't survive in China Television, and he can't find a place to stay in Hong Kong, so he He came to get close to me, probably because he wanted to join the Wang family. Don't tell me that he is thick-skinned. In order to support his family, there are many celebrities who are more mean than him."
Anthony Wong nodded repeatedly. He had just entered the industry and had not even graduated from Jiashi¡¯s artist training class. He was selected by Wang Zijun to make a film out of nowhere. He was really envious of a bunch of classmates. The things Lin Bowen talked about in the circle were quite useful to him.
The crew is finally ready, and all the gamblers and gambling boat staff have begun to "act in their true colors". Wu HanThe doctor acted hurriedly through the crowd, Lizhi put her hand on the railing, and flew into the gambling pool with a graceful leaping movement.
Wang Zijun did not call out, and Lizhi¡¯s actions did not end. At the same time, Yang Ziqiong and Ira Claudia also began to perform thrillingly.
Any director would shoot the actions of several people separately. However, Wang Zijun was crazy enough and used eight cameras to shoot at the same time. The actions of the three heroines were all completed to the end.
As long as he doesn¡¯t make any mistakes in key actions, Wang Zijun will not reshoot. He will simply cut out the mistakes or just reshoot them at the end. The long-shot fights in such big scenes will look very smooth and pleasing to the audience.
Of course, the shot of Yang Ziqiong shooting a crossbow and then flying through the air on a flying rope will naturally not be repeated. The crossbow was fired, and the rope was tied to the metal grating on the ceiling. This shot was repeated more than ten times. Finally, the technicians were asked to check whether the rope was securely fastened, and then Yang Ziqiong was relieved to start performing.
For this set of shots, it took more than two hours to prepare.
At this time, the gambling boat has entered the high seas, but the gambling hall used for filming has not officially opened for gambling. Those real gambling addicts had already gone to other cabins, but there were still twenty or thirty passengers staying here to cooperate with the filming. If the extras are not enough, Ye Han can always ask the crew on the ship to fill in, including the cleaners who clean the house.
These series of fighting scenes are the top priority on the gambling boat, so Wang Zijun chose to shoot them first, trying to get the casino out as soon as possible, so as not to delay the normal business of the gambling boat.
"Bang!" Yang Ziqiong slid down while hanging on the rope. The originally planned action was to do a somersault and land in front of the door, blocking Wu Han's path. Unexpectedly, the somersault was done, but when it landed, it was on its back.
¡°Ah!¡± Some of the guest extras who were passengers couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed. Yang Ziqiong just fell from a height of more than one meter. His back hit the floor firmly.
"Click!" Wang Zijun stood up, and the rest of the crew had already rushed over to check.
"Are you okay?" Wang Zijun asked nervously. He didn't want to stop filming on the gambling boat as soon as it started. Delaying progress is still a trivial matter. If someone has a problem, it will be troublesome.
"It's okay!" Yang Ziqiong smiled with difficulty. When she just landed, she felt that all her internal organs were knocked out of place. After being helped up, she took a few seconds to slow down before she could speak.
"Do you want to find a substitute?" Wang Zijun asked.
"No need." Yang Ziqiong gritted her teeth and said.
Wang Zijun said: "Okay, go ahead and start reshooting from where you just hung the zipline!"
Yang Ziqiong immediately ran back to prepare. Yuan Heping advised: "Director, she is a woman, and she has been practicing for more than half a year. She cannot risk her life like Cheng Long, or something will happen."
"Let's take another look. If it doesn't work, use a substitute." Wang Zijun said.
Yuan Heping hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing more.
Lizhi and Ila Claudia both stopped and looked at Yang Ziqiong reshooting, thankful that they had just done it once.
This time Yang Ziqiong did it perfectly, letting go of the rope in the air and rolling to the ground. Wu Han, who was waiting on the side, took the opportunity to rush forward, but Yang Ziqiong did a spinning kick before he could even stand upright.
"Ka! Very good, very perfect!" Wang Zijun stood up and applauded.
Many gambling boat staff and passengers also clapped. Yang Ziqiong¡¯s action just now was indeed not bad, which was an eye-opener for these people.
Although Wang Zijun emphasizes continuity, filming is still filming. Some places still need to be edited.
¡°For example, for Yang Ziqiong¡¯s actions after landing just now, the camera had to be stopped and some preparations made before continuing to shoot.
With Wia tied to her body, Ila Claudia jumped onto the gaming table for a brief run, then suddenly jumped high into the air. This leap was more than one meter high. His hands hung directly on the chandelier, and then he swung out with the help of the chandelier, kicking Wu Han who was shaking with Yang Ziqiong in mid-air.
With these movements, even a professional martial artist would find it difficult to sit up, let alone a woman like Ila Claudia. After filming more than 20 times, not only Ila was sore and weak, but even the people behind the scenes who controlled Wia were so tired that they were sweating profusely.
And if Ila Claudia¡¯s legs were tightly wrapped in leather pants, if she took off her pants now, she would definitely see bruises and broken skin.
Wu Han¡¯s weapon is a scalpel, which can be used as both a dagger and a throwing knife. There are dozens of them in his suit.
For Wu Han, who has not undergone any countless training, it is more painful to shoot than the three women. He has to repeat a few moves ten or twenty times.
That¡¯s not all. Wu Han couldn¡¯t do some difficult moves at all.
"Stop! Let's eat first." It took a whole afternoon to shoot the few minutes of footage on the screen, so Wang Zijun could only stop first.
After thinking about it, Wang Zijun said to Yuan Heping: "It seems that Wu Han had to use a substitute for those actions."
Lin Bowen came over and said, "Brother Jun, Luo Lie is over there. I think he is about the same size as Wu Han."
"Luo Lie?" Wang Zijun followed Lin Bowen's finger and saw Luo Lie chatting with a woman who looked to be in her forties next to a gambling table.
Lin Bowen leaned into Wang Zijun's ear and whispered for a while. Wang Zijun nodded and said: "Then use him. When you go back, remember to let the company's action movies use him."
"Okay." Lin Bowen was ordered, and he walked over slowly and said, "Mr. Luo, I'd like to ask you to play a part for Wu Han later."
Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Okay, just give me your instructions regarding Mr. Wang's affairs. Thank you, Brother Wen, for your support."
Naturally, Luo Lie would not be as excited as those newbies who have just entered the industry, because he got a stand-in, but because Wang Zijun asked him to be a stand-in voluntarily this time, and he would definitely take him with him later.
Lin Bowen ignored Luo Lie's flattery and returned to the restaurant to eat.
The passengers in the gambling hall were not interested in spending an afternoon taking pictures with Wang Zijun. Once the curiosity wore off in the first two or three hours, they all left to go gambling. Only a few passengers who were very interested in filming or were fans of certain people stayed.
Now, as soon as the crew starts eating, the place is immediately deserted.
The middle-aged woman next to Luo Lie looked at Lin Bowen who was leaving suspiciously, and asked: "Mr. Luo, who is that young man? Why is he not polite at all?"
"Auntie, that person is just a small character, but his boss has a big influence." Luo Lie said with a smile, "Auntie, let's go to dinner too."
"If anyone else were present, they would definitely laugh until their stomachs hurt. Luo Lie, a veteran action star in his forties, actually called a woman who was not two years older than him his aunt.
"His boss is Wang Zijun who is filming movies? I know him. There are TV series about him in mainland China. He is just an actor." The woman whom Luo Lie called his aunt asked, "Mr. Luo, is Wang Zijun as famous as you?" ah?"
Luo Lie smiled awkwardly and said, "We are all the same. Wang Zijun is also somewhat famous in the United States."
