Lantau Island is located in the southwest of Hong Kong. It is the largest island group on Hong Kong Island. The island is covered with grass and shrubs. In the early years, due to inconvenient transportation and being far away from the urban area, few people visited Lantau Island. Later, it was developed by the British Hong Kong government and became a holiday destination for Hong Kong people. , Tian Tan Buddha, Po Lin Temple, Silver Mine Bay, Tai O Water Town, Phoenix Mountain, Dadong Mountain, etc. are all tourist attractions developed in recent years.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was filming in the Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area. The climate in Phoenix Mountain in April is slightly humid than that of Hong Kong Island. Generally speaking, it is more suitable for filming. However, despite this, Zhang Guorong was still very embarrassed.
For two consecutive days, Zhang Guorong's footprints were all over Phoenix Mountain. Whether it was wilderness trails, mountain streams or dense jungles, his brother wore heavy natural clothes and carried heavy wind and rain protection equipment, rolling all the way. Climb, tired, sit down and rest, sleepy, just find a bed and lie down. The three nerd suits that were originally planned to be laid off were announced in just two days, which shows how hard Zhang Guorong worked.
Zhang Guorong is so dedicated, even Zhou Wen feels a little distressed when he sees it, not to mention the four women Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuxian, Zhou Cai'er, and Zhang Manyu. Zhou Wen has suffered a lot of complaints from the four women for this reason. Fortunately, he is proficient in massage. Every time While he was resting, he immediately gave Zhang Guorong a light and dark massage to relieve his fatigue. In less than ten minutes, a lively and energetic Ning Caichen stood up again, carrying his bag and continuing to suffer Zhou Wen's torture.
"Cut! Brother, take a rest where you are!" Zhou Wen said loudly with a loudspeaker, and ran over to give Zhang Guorong a massage, "You really need to exercise. I'm really afraid that you will lie down tired before the movie is finished. The fans will definitely not be able to forgive me."
Zhang Guorong smiled honestly and said: "What are you afraid of? I finally enjoyed the most exquisite massage skills in Hong Kong. I won't let you go so easily. Hehe, others think I am suffering, but in fact, I feel Very comfortable.¡±
"Damn, then don't pretend to be pitiful. I'm almost annoyed by Aunt Hong and the others. Please cooperate." Zhou Wen said with a bitter face.
Zhang Guorong turned a deaf ear, closed his eyes and hummed the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story": "The road of life is like a long road with sweet dreams, and the wind and frost blow on the face"
The voice is open, a bit melancholy but not depressing. In the second half of the song, it even reveals a bit of pride and enjoyment, which is completely divorced from the original beauty and slight sadness of the lyrics. This is a young scholar who is not in harmony with the world. He looks like a romantic young man.
Zhou Wen rolled his eyes in anger and couldn't help but hit harder. Let you be proud, let you enjoy, let you frame me!
So Zhang Guorong's happy and carefree singing suddenly turned into screams.
"The road to the world, be happy oh, happy young man hiss~~ the road is bumpy ah~ the bumps are gone oh, it hurts me to death!"
The strange vibrato and strange lyrics attracted everyone from the crew to watch.
"Brother Wen, what are you doing?" Wang Zuxian was the first to run into the tent and asked curiously.
"It's nothing. Mr. Rong said he broke his butt when he was going down the mountain just now. I'll rub it for him." Zhou Wen explained with a smirk on his face: "I accidentally touched the wound. So he called out, Xiaoxian, please help me." Get me some whiskey or something."
"Oh~" Wang Zuxian did not doubt that he was there, and trotted to find a drink, but Zhang Manyu looked at the two of them with a very, very strange look, then nodded in realization, and whispered to Zhong Chuhong who came after him. Said: "Hong Gu. It seems that your Arvin's taste is not as strong as usual, but"
Zhong Chuhong was furious when he heard this: "What the hell are you talking about, Ayu? Be careful, I will cut off your tongue!"
"Hey, look. Look how much Rong Shao is enjoying" Zhang Manyu still wanted to chew her tongue, but Zhong Chuhong directly covered her mouth and dragged her out. Before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at Zhou Wen and Zhang Guorong. Then Meaning: Look at the good things you have done!
"It's gone, it's gone. Didn't you see me healing Young Master Rong? Don't stand around if you have nothing to do!" Zhou Wen drove away the other onlookers with a straight face, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Young Master Rong, I asked you to heal me." If I add trouble, I will reap the consequences."
"Hey, it's a pity that my reputation has been ruined in one day. Awen, I suddenly have an ominous feeling that after filming this movie, my moral integrity will be compromised. Tell the truth, did you plan to trick me from the beginning!"
"Ci'ao, my conscience, if you don't play tricks on me, why should I play tricks on you!" Zhou Wen chuckled and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be aggrieved. It will be a show between the two of us later, so don't Screwed up."
"Hey, you are careless about making friends with unkind people!" Zhang Guorong sighed and patted his butt and stood up. After walking out of the tent, he saw several fire trucks adjusting their positions. The huge fire sprinklers adjusted their angles and heights from time to time. Under Yuan Bochu's command, Aim down at the broken thatched pavilion that was just built.
"No, right?"?" Seeing this, Zhang Guorong's expression suddenly brightened. He caught up with Zhou Wen and said, "You don't want to wait for the rain? "
¡°It¡¯s only April and it¡¯s raining. We have to meet the schedule. Instead of waiting for God¡¯s blessing, we should find a way to get it done. Renting a fire truck is very expensive, so hurry up and touch up your make-up!¡±
Hong Kong¡¯s spring is from March to May, and it is the continuous rainy season from May to August. If it takes at least six days for God to rain, Zhou Wen can¡¯t afford to wait, so he simply rents a few fire trucks to artificially rain.
"Hey! My life is so miserable~~" Zhang Guorong sighed "miserably" and went to touch up his makeup listlessly.
Just kidding, when Zhang Guorong came out of the dressing room, he still had that naive expression on his face. He was able to adjust his mentality and emotions in just a few minutes. It must be said that he was improved compared to "A Better Tomorrow" A lot.
"Young Master Rong, are you ready to get wet?" Zhou Wen also changed his clothes and walked over with a big sword on his shoulder.
"Fuck you, if you keep pushing me, I'll go on strike!" Zhang Guorong retorted.
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Don't get emotional. Look how loyal I am. I will get wet with you later."
In the original work of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", Ning Caichen is a commoner with a "generous nature", while Yan Chixia is a scholar. In the movie, the identities of the two people are interchanged, and Lao Yan becomes a heroic and powerful man. Xia, a head catcher who retired from the world. And a Taoist priest who behaves recklessly.
Why do you say that he is acting recklessly? Because this Taoist priest is weirdly wearing a Japanese bunt worn by Japanese roosters and thick-soled boots worn by nocturnal thieves. He is reciting "Prajna Paramita" and "Diamond Sutra" only by monks, while shouting "Heaven and earth are boundless and the universe is borrowed from the Dharma" while shouting "There is a Buddha in a calm mind"!
Unlike Yan Chixia, played by Wu Ma, who has an inverted and extreme image, Zhou Wen's guest appearance as the Xiahou Swordsman is completely on the other extreme. He is not good, evil, beautiful or ugly, and kills people just on a whim. The first time he met Ning Caichen in a grass pavilion to take shelter from the rain. , which directly frightened little brother Ning Caichen into stunned silence.
"Brother Chu, are you ready?" Zhou Wen raised his voice and shouted to Yuan Echu, carrying a big sword.
"OK! Everything is ready!" Yuan Bochu made an OK gesture.
"Brother Ren, pay attention to the rain spray range when you take the camera later. Make sure that the rainfall in the camera is consistent and don't appear to have blind shots." Zhou Wen gave Yuan Xiangren a few more words.
"Don't worry!" Yuan Xiangren has been in the industry for many years. When he and his brother Yuan Heping formed their own company to shoot movies, they wore many hats, and camera handling was no longer an issue.
"The dragon and tiger martial arts masters have taken their positions." Yuan Bochu carefully inspected the "equipment" of several dragon and tiger martial arts masters. The so-called equipment was nothing more than severed limbs, prop heads, and tomato juice filled with condoms. It mainly creates a very terrifying and bloody scene to highlight the ferocity of the Xiahou swordsman.
ten minutes later. Irrelevant personnel were asked to leave the shooting area, and Zhang Guorong stood outside the camera waiting for the director's command.
"Prepareaction!"
As Zhou Wen shouted orders, several fire truck nozzles were aimed diagonally above Zhang Guorong, and a heavy downpour suddenly fell, drenching Zhang Guorong until he was soaked
It rained suddenly. Ning Caichen opened his umbrella in panic. Unexpectedly, the umbrella was full of holes. Helplessly, he saw the thatched pavilion in the distance and hurriedly ran a few steps to the thatched pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
The whole set of shots was shot very smoothly. In order to highlight the comedy effect, the main camera specially gave several close-ups of the broken umbrella and captured Zhang Guorong's expression. It was not until he ran into the pavilion to settle down that Zhou Wen called cut.
"How does it feel to get wet? Isn't it refreshing?" Zhou Wen asked the staff to give Zhang Guorong a bowl of ginger soup, although the weather is not cold now. However, it is more reliable to drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Zhang Guorong pretended to ignore him and drank ginger soup. Zhou Wen was not angry and asked concernedly: "Do you want to change into wet clothes? Be careful of typhoid fever."
Zhang Guorong finally couldn't bear it anymore and sighed: "Brother Wen, out of kindness, hurry up and shoot!"
"Ok, as long as you say it's okay, I'll be happy to shoot the scene together!"
Lantau Island is located in the wild mountains and the conditions are extremely difficult. The main actors are either weak or suffering from old injuries. As a director, Zhou Wen was worried that the filming schedule would be affected, so he tried to change his directing style during the filming to try to ensure everyone's mood during the filming. .
¡¡Dividing line¡¡
The heavy rain once again fell on the weak thatched pavilion, just like Ning Caichen who took shelter from the rain in the thatched pavilion. The heavy rain environment set off his thin figure, which always makes people feel sympathy and pity.
As soon as things settled down here, five or six figures running away rushed into the camera, and a bloody fight took place in the little scholar's stunned eyes.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The camera is rolling and stumps flying around, Zhou Wen¡¯s guest appearance as the Xiahou SwordsmanThe sword fell, and the huge human head rolled on the ground. Blood shot up into the sky like a blowout, falling in the rain, on the Xiahou swordsman, and on Ning Caichen's face. He shrank his shoulders unprepared, and He was completely at a loss for an instant, looking at the murderous cheap guest with a face covered in blood and innocent eyes, and his eyes were full of horrifying confusion
The entire set seemed to fall into silence. The rain fell on the big sword held by Xia Hou, washing away the blood along the blade. As the rain slowly flowed away, the scene was extremely bloody. One was murderous without blinking, and the other was ignorant and ignorant. , two extreme people are standing in the thatched pavilion
The shooting was very smooth. Just when Yuan Xiangren was about to shout cut, Zhang Guorong suddenly laughed, laughing forward and back, laughing so heartlessly that the evil spirit that Zhou Wen had finally exaggerated disappeared.
"What kind of plane are you doing! Cut! Cut! Cut!" Zhou Wen shouted to the camera with a depressed look on his face. Yuan Xiangren picked up the microphone and said, "What happened? Didn't I perform well just now? Why did I make you laugh!"
"Who knows which part of Mr. Rong's nerves is uncoordinated?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help but want to laugh when I think of Awen's scary expression just now." Zhang Guorong squatted on the ground and still laughed heartlessly.
Zhou Wen frowned and asked, "Was what I looked like funny just now?"
"It's okay, okay I just suddenly felt funny Hahaha~" Zhang Guorong laughed so hard that he couldn't finish his words.
Zhou Wen considers his acting skills to be quite good, and has starred in two blockbusters in succession. In "The Fighter", he relied entirely on action and rarely showed his acting skills. In "Rivals 2", his acting skills were improved a lot after being trained by Zhou Runfa. Although he is still not as good as a first-line actor. There is still some gap in his acting skills, but he is more than enough to deal with the Xiahou swordsman in front of him who kills without blinking an eye.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Guorong laughed at Zhang Guorong for feeling so good about himself. Zhou Wen was unconvinced and ran to the monitor to re-watch the footage.
I have to say that Zhang Guorong performed very well in this rivalry scene. Several details were displayed very tastefully through facial expressions and subtle body language, achieving what Zhou Wen called "just the right amount of lifelike acting." Especially the close-up of his eyes at the end is a masterstroke, and you can't even notice his acting skills, there is no trace of his acting skills.
¡°Whether it¡¯s the panic of approaching crisis or the bravery of forcing shock, that kind of simple temperament makes Zhou Wen feel inferior.
There is no problem with Zhou Wen's cameo appearance. The killing moves are smooth and smooth. With the blood spurting out and the broken limbs lying on the ground, he looks like a murderer. The black cloth covering half of his face is even more He had a mysterious and strange figure.
"No problem." Zhou Wen touched his chin and muttered to himself, and Yuan Xiangren nodded and said in deep thought: "The camera, movements, close-ups, expressions, and even the lines are all correct. The actions of the several dragon and tiger martial arts masters before they died were also very appropriate. I didn¡¯t feel anything bad at all.¡±
"Feeling of disobedience?" Zhou Wen scratched his head and said subconsciously.
"That's right. It's a very subversive feeling. If it were me, I would probably feel very awkward. Brother Wen, we have a rivalry scene. What should we do? When I think of you looking like a big devil who kills people without batting an eye, I can't. The law comes into play~" Wang Zuxian was worried.
"No way!" Zhou Wen felt a headache when he heard this. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "What should I do? How about someone else?"
"No, absolutely not!" Zhang Guorong objected: "If someone else plays the role of Xiahou Swordsman, I would rather resign. I feel very good now. I really look forward to seeing the filming of Xiaoxian seducing you, hahaha~~"
"" Zhou Wen's head was full of black lines. It turns out that my brother is waiting to see my good show!
