When You Are a Director, How Do You Become a Full-Fledged Superstar

The streets of Hong Kong City are full of traffic.

Watch shop.

Don't worry, one second is not bad.

Crack! Stop!

Holding up the director's manual in his hand, Chen Mo stopped the camera.

Chen Mo has shot this scene eight times.

However, it has never been able to achieve the desired feeling in Chen Mo's heart.

Lin Sheng, your eyes are wrong...

Looking at the famous Hong Kong actor, Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

Your... eyes don't have expectations, there's no such feeling.

Lin Sheng, who plays a watch repairer, is one of the most famous first-line actors in Hong Kong. Chen Mo invited him through Liang Wenyuan.

However, this Lin Sheng gave Chen Mo a very bad feeling in this scene.

In his eyes, there is no expectation of the return of Hong Kong City.

This kind of thing, if there is, there is no rain, Chen Mo can't see it in his eyes.

Director Chen...

Guo Kun, who was on the camera, thought for a while and called out Chen Mo.

Chen Mo turned his head to look at Guo Kun.

Director Chen, Mr. Lin was born abroad and only returned to Hong Kong when he was in his 20s.

Born abroad?

No wonder.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, this was a negligence.

Because the current Chen Mo has only the blessing of the second-level director experience package, the first-line famous actors who participated in this film are all found through Liang Wenyuan.

I didn't know that Lin Sheng was born abroad.

Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I think it will be difficult for us to cooperate in this drama.

It's not that Lin Sheng didn't know about Chen Mo's request, but he really couldn't help it.

Despite his superb acting skills, he is one of the most famous first-line actors in Hong Kong City. He has made no less than ten classic movies and won many awards.

However, the more this was the case, the more Lin Sheng knew about his shortcomings in this regard.

When he got the script for this movie, Lin Sheng knew that it was a patriotic movie, and, based on his judgment on Xia Guo's current movie industry, this movie would definitely be appreciated by the audience.

So, he himself really wanted to be involved in this movie.

This is very beneficial for him to open up the mainland market.

This is because, compared with the mainland, the development of Hong Kong City this year is no longer very obvious, and the most direct impact of the economic recession is the decline of literary and artistic works.

The mainland is the most dynamic market in the future.

However, Lin Sheng has never had a good opportunity to enter the mainland market. He wanted to take this opportunity to find a breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, this young director Chen Mo has such high requirements, but he will not let go of the shortcomings in his eyes.

Director Chen, this is my problem.

Lin Sheng smiled and continued:

Just, as you know, although my ancestors all lived in the mainland, and my parents are also mainlanders, I grew up abroad after all...

Chen Mo nodded and said:

Mr. Lin, I understand how you feel. Regarding this aspect, I suggest that if you have time, you should go to the mainland for a walk. Take a look at the famous mountains and rivers. I think it will be of some help to you.

The filming of the comeback was generally smooth.

Except for the replacement of the first-line actor Lin Sheng, other shootings went smoothly.

In terms of the layout of the scene, Boulder Entertainment did provide a good resource.

The return to the handover scene is a one-to-one copy of the handover scene at that time.

The size of the venue is exactly the same, even the height of the flagpole is not different.

What surprised Chen Mo even more was that the flag-raiser was the one who raised the national flag of Xia at the handover ceremony that year.

Although it has been many years, the flag-raiser of that year has reached middle age, but fortunately, the body has not gained weight. After makeup, there is no obvious difference compared with that year.

It can't be worse for a second!

This is the bottom line of our negotiations!

Crack! Okay, next shot.

After six days of filming, 80% of the shots coming back to this chapter have been shot, and today is the last two scenes.

One is the negotiation between the two parties and the other is the handover ceremony.

In the negotiation scene, Chen Mo, based on the original plot, referred to a lot of the world, the video materials about the negotiation before the return of Hong Kong City that year.

In this part, Chen Mo's main idea is to highlight the tension of negotiations on the basis of respecting history.

Of course, the actual negotiations are also very tense.

In order to raise the national flag of Xia Guo on time at 0 minutes and 0 seconds, the two sides had a long tug-of-war negotiation.

In the end, under the repeated efforts and firm stance of the negotiators of the Xia Kingdom, the negotiation result of letting the other party lower the flag at 23:59:58 was finally discussed.

Your expression is wrong, be firm!

Chen Mo stopped filming, walked to the negotiating table, looked at the actor, the foreign negotiator on the opposite side, and said:

Be like this, be firm, firm, and never let up!

You have to treat this negotiating table as a battlefield, a battlefield without gunpowder smoke, arguing, killing people without blood!

At the negotiation site, Chen Mo restored everything on a one-to-one basis.

Even the placement of a water glass is correct.

This scene is one of the two most important scenes in the entire return chapter.

Therefore, Chen Mo put it at the end, and after everyone was familiar with it and had experience, he started shooting.

36 shots, Chen Mo spent a whole day to shoot.

Okay, everyone rest for two hours. Later, we will directly start the filming of the handover ceremony!

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, it was just getting dark, and Chen Mo finally ended the shooting of the negotiation session.

Brother Mo, everything is ready, absolutely foolproof.

Wang Sanlong had dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard, but his eyes were full of light and ran to Chen Mo.

Oh? It's all ready, let's go and see!

Chen Mo heard the words, put down what he was doing, and walked outside with Wang Sanlong.

The biggest project of the return shooting set is the one-to-one restoration of the handover ceremony scene.

Jushi Entertainment has a very good partner company in this regard. When Chen Mo came to Hong Kong City, 60% of it had been completed.

In the middle, Wang Sanlong basically participated in the whole process.

Chen Mo's request for Wang Sanlong is one, that all the scene layouts should be as good as the influence data of the handover ceremony that year.

After that, it's the rehearsal.

In 30 minutes and 25 steps, Wang Sanlong has organized relevant actors to conduct 36 rehearsals.

Mexico, don't worry, all the staff, 36 rehearsals, and the details of the year are not bad.

Speaking of this, Wang Sanlong was beaming.

Including the 23 seconds that the prince delayed, the other party's national anthem suddenly accelerated, resulting in a 12-second blank window, which is not bad!

Brother Mo, not only that, according to what you explained, everyone's expressions are imitated and approached according to the expressions in the video at that time, no difference!

Chen Mo nodded. In this scene, the pursuit is to restore the original handover ceremony.

There can be no deviation.

...

Two hours later, the final scene begins.

This time, Chen Mo's camera method was recording and broadcasting, and a total of 12 camera groups were arranged.

In addition to the main camera led by Guo Kun, Chen Mo also arranged 11 aerial and directional cameras, striving for the most comprehensive and accurate restoration of the handover ceremony.

Details! Brothers, the most important thing is the details!

Chen Mo held a loudspeaker and shouted in the field.

Among you, 89 people participated in the handover ceremony. The position you are standing now is the position you were standing in then!

This scene is not a scene, but to restore the grand occasion of the year, all of you are starring!

Remember, this is not acting, but to show the grand occasion of that year in front of the people of the whole country!

I hope that you can show the same passion as you did back then and complete this shoot with a responsible attitude towards history!

After 30 minutes!

Crack!

Watching the red flag fluttering in the wind in the night sky and the hunting sound, Chen Mo shouted the last click.

Me and my motherland, let's finish!
