    After calling stop, allowing Andy Lau to take a breath, Wan Xiaohu pulled Liang Chaowei behind the monitor to watch the replay.  "Weizai, you haven't entered the state yet. Look here, your expression is not keeping upHere, your smile is a bit fake, not sincere and tenseHere, you are not looking at Andy Lau, and you are weak.  This is very bad. Think about it. I¡¯ll talk to the lighting engineer about some issues first.¡± Liang Chaowei didn¡¯t say much and kept it in his mind: ¡°Okay.¡± Wan Xiaohu said to the lighting engineer: ¡°Look, the effect is not good.  , the light is too strong, and there is a reflection arc when it hits the face. When the camera reaches this point, move the reflector back and lower the light source" "Okay, director." "Boss, have a drink of water."  Seeing that Wan Xiaohu was sweating profusely, Xue Kaiqi brought a bottle of mineral water over.  "Let's put it here." Wan Xiaohu didn't look back and continued to watch the playback on the monitor. Then he called the photographer Li Yaohui over and said, "Wait for a while and drag this camera position. Not too long. Just freeze it for one second."  "Okay." By the time everything was explained, ten minutes had passed.  "Attention, all units, get ready." After restarting the performance, Wan Xiaohu picked up the mineral water and drank it.  Three minutes later, he shouted stop again.  It¡¯s another joke. ????????????? Continue to perform, and then continue to shout ¡°stop¡±.  A conversation on the rooftop was filmed until it was almost dark, but it was not finished yet.  "Give me a chance." "How to give you a chance?" "I had no choice before. Now I want to be a good person." "Okay, go tell the judge and see if he will let you be a good person." "That's it.  "You want me to die?" "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman." "Kah, Hua Zai. Wei Zai, let's finish the story tonight and try to shoot better tomorrow.  Lu Jianqing, please call it a day." Wan Xiaohu waved his hand to indicate that today's work is over.  "Still can't pass?" Liu Dehua came over.  Mai Zhaohui shook his head: "This is a big drama. We still need to think about it." Wan Xiaohu nodded: "I just started shooting, and it is inevitable that I will be out of shape. It doesn't matter. We don't have time. I have already prepared the film for three movies.  Okay, I'm not afraid of reshoots, I'm just afraid of your objections." "Everyone's doing it for work, so I don't mind." "That's fine, by the way. I'll treat you to a drink if you are free tonight.  " Liang Chaowei smiled: "I won't go, you guys are playing, I'm going to pick up Carina (Liu Jialing), she is also filming. " " It's not fun, just ask Carina to come with you. " " Forget it.  , Let¡¯s talk about it another day.¡± Liang Chaowei wants to take care of his family.  Wan Xiaohu went to a night market with Mai Zhaohui, Liu Dehua, and Zhuang Wenqiang.  As a way to keep in touch with each other, let's get to know each other's temperament.  In the next few days, the crew worked frantically, but the progress just didn¡¯t move forward.  It was also the first time that Wan Xiaohu felt a lot of pressure on his body. The movie could not produce the effect he expected, and he became more and more anxious.  The actors and staff are increasingly unable to achieve the effect he said.  A rooftop showdown scene was filmed for three days, and I was still reciting the lines over and over again, and then called for a stop.  Wan Xiaohu had already anticipated that filming this movie would definitely make him very nervous.  It was very stressful, but the reality still caught him off guard, and he truly realized that there was a big gap between himself and a mature director.  The previously filmed "Waiting Alone", "The Butterfly Effect", or the popular Asian "My Sassy Girl" are all low-budget and small-scenario films, and the acting skills of the actors or the use of the camera can be so-so.  In the past, he was quite easy to control.  But when it came to "Infernal Affairs", he realized that a good director can't be called a good director only by making one or two popular movies.  Whether he can guide the actors into the play, whether he can fully mobilize the crew, and whether he can control the camera as he pleases are all factors that test whether a director is qualified.  Now Wan Xiaohu is not very qualified, and there is a big lack of confidence in this aspect.  "I used to think that after I became famous after filming "Infernal Affairs", I would go directly to Hollywood and go to Hollywood to make blockbusters. Now it seems that I am too ambitious and I have to practice for at least a few years, otherwise my true colors will be revealed after I go there.  Although I remember the plot of a good movie, I still haven¡¯t been able to produce the same effect!¡± At night, Wan Xiaohu lay in bed and reflected deeply on himself.  He has made several movies, includingThe point is inflated, but he doesn't know that he has no qualifications to inflate at all.  The movie is based on the original version, and it was made at a low cost. It is not even better than the original version. It really has no qualifications for arrogance.  After the media boasted a few words, I got dizzy and thought of myself as a big shot.  But speaking of it, it¡¯s just a joke.  No matter how much he deceives himself and others, Wan Xiaohu still cannot forget that there is not much difference between him and the plagiarists.  God gave him a chance to do it again, and he couldn't just be satisfied with copying these good movies.  It is necessary to learn from all the directors in the past in this process. Which director did not climb up from the lowest level and developed an iron-clad ability.  It seems that many directors make mediocre movies, but when it comes to basic skills, they don't show any shortcomings.  Taking the past few days as an example, Wan Xiaohu felt that Mai Zhaohui was better than him in basic skills.  Although Wan Xiaohu can use pretentious comparisons and the success of his three movies to scare others.  But as time goes by, you still have to expose yourself and make others look down on you.  "No, I can't go on like this! Just paying attention to details and attitude is not enough. I must constantly enrich myself and work harder! It's really a joke. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the reborn person?" Watching in the Dark  Looking at the ceiling, Wan Xiaohu became furious.  I was admitted to Nortel with the third-highest grade in my professional course back then. I also had four years of basic studies, and then worked hard in the society for a long time. Although I was not good at it, I could only make commercials and music videos, but I never left.  Director position.  Now he has made three movies.  There¡¯s no reason why we can¡¯t make a good movie about ¡°Infernal Affairs¡±.  What happened to the big cast, what happened to the big production, they are still making movies, and they are still telling stories!  I, Wan Xiaohu, don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t take good pictures.  I¡¯ve all been here before, so I¡¯m afraid of a ball!     Nothing is unachievable.  Wan Xiaohu is a caring person.  ¡­ ¡­ The three-day filming of the rooftop showdown was not completed, and the crew originally thought it would continue like this.  However, the next day I received a notice that the crew was on holiday.  "Hua Zai, we won't be filming today. Maybe our preparations haven't been done yet. I plan to film a small scene first to warm up. When I have time, I will make up for the rooftop showdown."  Wan Xiaohu called Liu Dehua to explain.  "It depends on what you mean, Xiaohu." "Weizai, we won't be filming todayyes, we have three days off" After making the call, Wan Xiaohu rubbed his face and called Mai Zhaohui and others.  All on holiday.  "Director, if you take a day off, the crew will pay a lot of money." Mai Zhaohui was a little reluctant.  "It's okay, I don't care about money. We haven't been in a good state recently. Let's stabilize it first." Wan Xiaohu is an investor, and all the copyrights are in his hands.  ¡°That¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll go and revise the script first.¡± Hang up the phone.  Wan Xiaohu was in the hotel, comparing the script.  While watching various Hong Kong film videos, I did research and took notes.  Try to study the script as thoroughly as possible, release all the skills you have gained over more than ten years, and conquer this script.  At the same time, I kept replaying movies in my mind, and played "Infernal Affairs", which I had watched in the previous track, over and over again in my mind.  As a directing student, Wan Xiaohu doesn¡¯t look like ordinary people when watching movies.  See it and forget about it.  ¡°He has memorized movies, analyzed the minutes and seconds, how to move the camera, and how to light the scenes, and then memorized them in his mind.  Especially good movies.  Those are dozens and hundreds of repeated observations. If you can't do this, you can't be a directing student at all, and you can't be a director at all.  The next day, Wan Xiaohu was watching the video tape when the phone in his room rang.  "Hello, Tiger, this is Su Ya." The phone has long-distance service, and calls can also be made from the mainland, Su Ya's voice came.  "What's going on?" "Have you decided to sell the rights to "My Sassy Girl"? Madonna sent someone over to negotiate. The price has been set, a remake and adaptation fee of US$3.5 million. If you are sure you want to sell it, I will sign a contract with them.  "Yes." "Sell." Wan Xiaohu didn't hesitate at all.  "Okay, I'll sign the contract in a moment Well, by the way, how's your filming going?" "Everything went well." Wan Xiaohu reported good news but not bad news.  "Yeah." "Is everything okay? I'll just hang up if it's okay. There are too many things." "Hey" Before Su Ya's words came through, Wan Xiaohu hung up the phone, and then continued to watch the video tape, "Infernal Affairs"  The pressure was so heavy on his heart that he couldn't even think of chatting.In the evening, Zeng Zhiwei called again.  "Hey, Xiaohu, I heard that your recent filming is not going very well, right? Come out, come out and I'll take you to a nightclub to have some fun. Uncle Zeng is someone who has been there, so just relax and the rest of the scene will be easier to film. Uncle Zeng used to be a director.  , This is how to relieve yourself." Wan Xiaohu sweated: "Uncle Zeng, I really don't like going to nightclubs, and I'm not in the mood at all now. I'm stubborn and won't solve the script well and overcome the pressure.  I'm so worried. Uncle Zeng, if you come to film another day, I'll treat you to a drink." "Well, we agreed to go have a drink together another day." After hanging up the phone, Xue Kaiqi called again.  "Boss, what are your arrangements for tomorrow?" "You go to the video store tomorrow and buy a few discs for me. I'll tell you the names and you can remember them, "Dark War", "The Wire", "Dragon"  , "Dragon on the Edge", "Black Gold", "Dragon"" The three-day holiday went by in a flash.  Early in the morning on the fourth day, Wan Xiaohu got up from the bed full of discs, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and shaved his beard.  Put on clean clothes, leave the room with a pile of notes.  The first ray of sunshine in the morning spilled into the walkway from the window and shone on Wan Xiaohu's face.  It is different from the dejection of the past few days.  This time, there seemed to be infinite pride.  "Infernal Affairs", this is the beginning!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
