Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

In the warehouse where everything has been arranged, small searchlights are lighting up in the depths, and the lighting engineer is lighting up.

The guy in a suit and ties with his hair crossed crossed his legs and sat with his back to the searchlight. Behind him, to his left and right, and in front of him were all the young men in suits and ties who were ready.

Chen Baixiang sat in a chair and was tied up with five flowers, silent and silent, waiting to act.

The operator grabbed a piece of film in a secret bag, put it into the film box with a little trembling skillfully, left a loop, and loaded the film into the camera for testing.

Johnnie To and Sir Du are using the viewfinder to check the landscape and lighting in the shot.

Cheng Xiaodong and Sir Cheng re-examined the artificial scenery on the scene, such as the opening scene of forcing a confession, the scene of pouring props and cement, and Ah Cheng standing outside the warehouse taking cigarettes and posing.

While he was posing, on the other side, the boys were taking the cement buckets to the elevator, pulling them out of the warehouse and putting them on the ship. Then in the sea breeze at night, the freighter started to sail, riding the wind and waves... All of them were in suits or white shirts, black Boys with ties walked on the deck and pushed cement buckets into the sea.

The scene of the cement bucket being lowered into the sea and hitting the water surface must be shot with an underwater camera to make it more visual and impactful.

When filming, it would only be a bucket filled with heavy objects, but what is shown in the post-production cuts is the forced confession, filling of cement, entering the bucket, loading the bucket on the boat, rolling the bucket and throwing it into the sea, with water splashes filling the air.

Ah Cheng, played by Zhou Runfa, is cold and cold-blooded throughout the whole process, showing the coolness, fierceness and cruelty of the ruthless brother in his little emotions.

If you want to portray the feeling of disregarding human life, trampling on the law and the world, the smaller the gestures and the "big eyes", the more shocking the performance will be.

For a good actor, explosiveness is crucial.

In The King of Comedy, Yin Tianchou rehearses the script with his arms around Du Juan'er, crying and reciting his lines while having big snot dripping on Du Juan'er's face. It is an explosive force, but not many people can act well with nonsensical aura.

The Hong Kong film and television industry has tried many times to cultivate a successor to Xing Zai, but has been unable to do so.

In the original Infernal Affairs, Liang Chaowei, the undercover agent, saw that everything was bright and he was about to usher in a new life, but he was shot in the head by A Dong. Even without the soundtrack, the explosive power of his eyes was very good.

That's the eye scene that's close to a static explosion.

Zhao Donghuai grabbed the big speaker and walked to Fa Zai, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, and said with a smile, "Afa, you have been preparing for a month or two. The smaller the range of your body movements for the explosive power of the opening scene, the better. , the dynamic burst is also very expressive.”

“But it’s better to make it more appealing and vivid in recent years.”

When an actor plays an angry scene, throwing a cup or smashing a TV are all dynamic outbursts. The audience can easily feel your anger from these actions and know that you are losing your temper. However, this kind of outburst is far inferior to ordinary walking and sitting quietly. , showing a look that wants to kill someone with a knife, which is more profound and intense.

Ah Fa immediately put away Erlang's legs and stood up, sneered, "Director...director...I..."

Zhao Donghuai frowned, "You are the eldest brother, a eldest brother who is ruthless and unscrupulous in accomplishing his goals. Even your boss, Uncle Pei, was afraid that you were too ruthless, so he arranged for your confidants and wife to be undercover agents to monitor you. "

"It's not okay for you to panic."

Zhou Runfa, "..."

For those who don’t know, they think the director is telling the story with all his heart? ?

Zhao Donghuai said again, "Come on, come on. I invested five million in the first scene of the new play. It's real money. Although it's not that difficult to make money, don't let it get stuck when you start it. Too many entries are unlucky."

After speaking, he patted Ah Fa on the shoulder and went to tell Guan Lijie, Zhou Xingxing, Liu Qingyun and others.

He only has one request: you are the little guys who are part-timers, but you must also be handsome when standing and cool when walking, clean up the society's insiders, and fight for the acquittal of the big dragon head, so that you can perform with a capable, ruthless and fierce flavor.

If it is done well, it will be a great achievement and the big leader will be happy. Ding Qing (Wan Ziliang), who appears to be ranked third, is actually the biggest competitor for the next leader, the better.

Hello, big brother, your future is bright.

Immerse yourself in it, and the purpose of doing things is to get a promotion and a salary increase, win wealth and beauty, and reach the pinnacle of life!

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Even if you are playing a chicken or a dog, you still have to create a flavor.

After a while, after rehearsing without turning on the camera, Zhao Donghuai sat behind the optical viewfinder, glanced left and right, and gestured to the scene staff.

The scene manager decisively took the drawing board and said, "Shot No. 1 in the first scene, first time, Aikesh!"

"Snapped!"

Accompanied by the sounds of Aikesh and the clapboard, the actors who were originally stationary came to life one after another, and the cameras on the track also came to life.

Chen Baixiang, the opera spirit, possessed him and screamed. This scream was the scream of someone who had been tied up and his mouth sealed... He had eight points of the charm of the previous performance and teaching by Mr. Hong Scorpion. Old Chen is a good actor.

The camera only focused on Chen Baixiang a second after the scream.

What follows is a close-up of the actor showing his face. In the close-up, Mr. Chen is screaming and struggling in various ways, looking miserable in a special costume. We are not worried that he will have the comedy atmosphere of being beaten by Wu Sangui in Xing Zai's version of The Deer and the Cauldron.

During the struggle, an over-the-shoulder shot shifted from Chen Baixiang's face to his shoulders, and then to the second actor, a close-up of Zhou Xingxing in a white shirt, black tie, hair parted three-quarters, and combed back.

At this moment, the relationship, location, identity and other backgrounds of each other can be determined through the language of the camera. In the future, the audience will know after looking at the camera that Chen Baixiang was kidnapped and abused, and Xingzi was the perpetrator.

Xingzai impatiently flicked his fingernails with one hand, while giving Chen Baixiang a cold look, turned around, and the camera also moved with Xingzai's line of sight. In the distance was the Erlang Legfa brother sitting under the searchlight, with his back to the light and his face blurred.

On the left and right, there are eight people in black suits or white shirts, standing straight or with slightly slanted legs. Their faces are all blurred under the searchlight. Wu Zhenyu is standing sideways, and his younger brother is taking out a cigarette.

When Lao Wu came, Xingzi stepped back with a hammer.

Wu Zhenyu stood in front of Chen Baixiang, whose face was full of blood and swelling, and slapped him. Then he knelt down to take out a cigarette and calmly lit it, "Director Cui,..."

At this moment, one of the two small searchlights behind Afa and others suddenly went out!

Wu Zhenyu is still reciting his lines and continues.

Zhao Donghuai grabbed the big speaker fiercely, "Click!!"

Does turning off the lights have a big impact? The two small searchlights can clearly reflect each person's body shape and standing posture, but the face is a bit blurry in the black shadow. When one light is extinguished, most of them are black.

What about the overall picture effect presented in the camera? Nowadays it's all film, and you can only see it when it's developed later.

But I also want to know what kind of sudden deviation in the style of painting it will be.

With two lamps lighting like this, what Zhao Donghuai wants is a cold and dark temperament, and one...

For lighting, each scene must measure the light brightness, color temperature, etc., and then the art director plans the style and temperament of the film, which are slowly discussed.

A group of actors who were concentrating and concentrating all relaxed one after another and broke away from their state. Then?

Zhao Donghuai stared at the lighting team, a lighting engineer also commonly known as the lighting master, and two assistants. He stared at them for two minutes.

When the atmosphere became more and more depressing, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, right? Many people call you Master Zhong, the old lighting engineer of Shaw Brothers..."

"I've said it before. If you have any opinions, you can raise them. I'm a reasonable person."

Deng Ye Zhong pointed around excitedly, wanting to explain, but the more anxious he became, the less sure he knew what to say.

It's all a misunderstanding, and it must be an oversight.

Even if he wanted to test something and find an opportunity to steal money, this would not be the time to do it. It's not just him doing things, it's easiest to test and break through by directly using props.
