Chapter 13 Playing with the Two Heavenly Kings

Cut the pig's head, worship Guan Gong, take photos, dance lions, and everything that can be seen at the opening ceremony of the Xiangjiang River. It can be regarded as seeing the world. But he didn't quite understand, why didn't this White Dragon King know him at the beginning, and turned around and knew that he was Shao Yingxiong? Didn't he see clearly just now?

Later, when the White Dragon King was picked up by the car, he figured out the things in front of him according to his own understanding through the "black mentality". The White Dragon King already has a high enough position in the hearts of the artists in Xiangjiang, but no mainland artists know him. If he shows his face in the mainland media, then his believers might have two more mainland artists. In this way, his prestige will be unique in the circles between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions.

When Shao Ying was speculating on others, Zhang Wan, who had been observing outside for a long time, quietly returned to Shao Yingxiong's side. His mission was to always record all the dynamics of the Xiangjiang crew: "Xiao Shao, I found some very interesting places."

Shao Yingxiong has just finished taking a photo with Liang Chaowei with the knife of cutting a suckling pig, and has not taken a family photo with the crew of "Infernal Affairs" in front of Guan Gong's portrait: "What's wrong?"

"I found out that the crew of Infernal Affairs paid as soon as it started filming."

Shao Yingxiong was stunned and asked, "Ask clearly what's going on?"

"How can I figure it out? I asked your Cantonese translator to inquire."

At this time, Liang Chaowei walked over with a shy smile on his face and said, "I'll explain it to you."

Liang Chaowei's Mandarin is pretty good, at least Shao Yingxiong sounds not difficult. However, Shao Yingxiong understands that Liang Chaowei, a person who is not good at communicating, is willing to come over and say something, probably related to Zhou Qinnan's friendly attitude towards him.

"That's right, the Hong Kong film market has been sluggish in box office due to shoddy production. Well, some people have counted the reasons for the sluggishness. Some people say it was a financial crisis, some people say it was a group of people who made movies developed laziness and forgot innovation when the box office was good." Liang Chaowei looked at Shao Yingxiong and smiled faintly. It seemed that he did not agree with these two statements: "No one can do anything about the financial crisis, but laziness can be solved. So, some people paid money in their own crew, but not much money was paid. From the day the filming starts, each person will have 100 Hong Kong dollars a day. If these workers did not make any mistakes, they did not delay the crew's time, then this hundred dollars would be the bonus of the day; otherwise, if one person makes a mistake, all the bonuses will be recovered."

"This is really a solution," Shao Yingxiong continued: "Once the field workers and the last show get into several crews, they will become smooth. If they slip, the crew will waste no time."

Liang Chaowei patted his shoulder and said, "That's the reason. So, all crews will pay money before they start the filming. The first thing they do every morning is to pay the food. Everyone is full of energy and cautious when they take the money. No one wants to become the sinner of the entire crew. As long as they don't make any mistakes, the time they save for the crew is more than 100 Hong Kong dollars per person."

"Shao Sheng. Yes?"

This time, Shao Yingxiong no longer faced Huang Qiusheng's nervousness, and reached out and said, "Thank you, I really don't know if you don't say it."

When the two of them held hands together, Shao Yingxiong looked at Liang Chaowei. In his eyes, Liang Chaowei was not the top superstar who was so impressed, but just a man who only talked about the key points and didn't like to chat.

"Let's go and take photos." This is not the case. After Liang Chaowei explained, he seemed to have no idea how to talk. In order to avoid embarrassment, he simply pulled Shao Yingxiong to take photos.

Shao Yingxiong once again found that his poor relationship was useless. When he was led by Liang Chaowei to Guan Gong statue and stood with everyone for the media to take photos, he suddenly felt like he was an outsider.

The crew of "Infernal Affairs" is not that no one is talking nonsense or joking, but they all speak Cantonese, which makes Shao Yingxiong unable to interfere at all; even Shao Yingxiong is good at work. Whenever he wants to help the crew with something, he can always see Andy Lau.

Andy Lau said the same as the media said that no matter whether there are or not, the reporters are working hard on the scene. He will help the workers carry the tracks and help the photographers resist the tripod. When the crew is not busy, there is still time to memorize the lines. Even if a fan passes the security guard's cordon, he just smiles and agrees to all the fans' requests, and then do whatever they should do.

Shao Yingxiong also found that the pace of the Xiangjiang crew was very fast, so fast that everyone was trotting all the way.

Let’s talk about the first scene of the crew. After the entire crew completed the opening ceremony, the security guards began to close the streets with the cooperation of the police. The pedestrians who were playing the role rushed to the streets. This scene was filmed by Liang Chaowei’s plan to associate with Huang SIR, leaving a reason for Shaqiang next to the parking stall downstairs, but the scene was about going to massage. This scene was very simple, just a few words, and Liang Chaowei and Du Wenze had basically no stagnation when they played this scene. When, when a few lines were finished, Liu Weiqiang just shouted: “OK!”

The key point is that during this period, Mai Zhaohui should talk about the play where the camera cannot be filmed. Next, Elva Xuan prepared everything before the filming of this scene. As soon as the scene ended, the crew rushed forward, and the machines, equipment and other equipment basically moved to another scene on the same street in the blink of an eye. There was a place similar to a small square. The scene was filmed by Elva Xuan and Liang Chaowei who met by chance on the street.

Hurry, Shao Yingxiong discovered that the people in the Xiangjiang crew were working fast. Although they still talked, the work in their hands never stopped because of their words. Even Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng, who were the most poor at the scene, had been chatting together for a long time. But when Huang Qiusheng was about to die, he entered the roof of the hotel and met Liang Chaowei. When entering the hotel downstairs, people didn't have to adjust their emotions. They changed into suits and restrained their smiles and took the stage to shoot.

Shao Yingxiong finished filming three scenes in a daze, less than an hour!

Of course, no one is a god. It is impossible not to make any mistakes at such a fast pace. When Liang Chaowei was taking a funeral scene in the dark, the photo on the roof of the funeral car fell down in the camera because it was not jailed.

As a result, the entire crew collectively cursed, and the "deathful" and "silly" suddenly resounded throughout the crew, and there was no need for the director to speak at all. Those who made mistakes couldn't raise their heads and apologized to everyone.

In this environment, who dares to make a mistake for the second time?

Shao Yingxiong secretly remembered everything he saw. He really couldn't change the current situation of the entire continent now, but he could at least change his studio crew.

"Shao Sheng."

A farm worker ran over and said to Shao Yingxiong: "It's your turn to you in half an hour. Please prepare for it and take a photo of you following the 'Yellow SIR' downstairs."

Shao Yingxiong nodded, he understood the arrangements of the crew of "Infernal Affairs".

Liu Weiqiang obviously arranged all the simple scenes in one day, and even in order to avoid repeated scenes in the camera, he proved that this is another street by choosing different shooting angles and street parking spaces. Not to mention anything else, who would focus on which street he was filmed on? Even if someone remembers the signboard of the shop, then the next shot will let the signboard pass by two. Who can still remember what the signboard is on each street in Xiangjiang? This is impossible. Even if someone can remember, at worst, they can cut into some buildings on other streets in the later stage, and no one called it true.

Shao Yingxiong took advantage of the time when others were filming to change his suit. The scene he wanted to shoot was a scene of sneakingly following Huang Qiusheng on the street. However, there was no Huang Qiusheng in this scene, as long as the purpose of tracking was taken.

"Next group!" After Liu Weiqiang finished filming the camera, the crew began to wander on the same street and moved quickly.

After the entire crew prepared everything, Shao Yingxiong appeared in a suit.

For this scene, Shao Yingxiong even considered asking some experts from relevant departments in the past. After all, the "Big-B" he played is professional in intelligence. If he acted too amateur when acting, it would be ridiculous. Later, he thought, let's forget it, what is acting? It's not that he showed a very profound tracking skill. This scene has one purpose, so that people can understand that "Big-B" was following "Huang SIR" and then inform Andy Lau. That's fine.

“ACTION!”

Shao Yingxiong stood under a wall pillar, holding the phone in his hand and staring at the front while reporting, saying, "Oh, he is taking the subway to cross the sea."

Cantonese?

Huang Qiusheng was watching the scene next to him, but now he showed a smile of appreciation. He had known this was a storyline scene, but he didn't expect that Shao Yingxiong actually spoke Cantonese.

"Click!"

Liu Weiqiang walked over from the front of the monitor, and said without any expression on his face: "Follow me to read, he used a karaoke to cross the sea with a karaoke dei (four tones) iron."

Shao Yingxiong followed and read it once.

Liu Weiqiang nodded and said, "OK."

"Continue!"

As soon as Liu Weiqiang sat over, Zhuang Wenqiang leaned to the side and said, "Oh, this Yumu is wrong. He actually knows how to learn Cantonese. I thought he was going to dubb him."

Liu Weiqiang looked at Shao Yingxiong with equal relief, but he never praised him, "It's so damn."

The camera came again, and Shao Yingxiong said the lines again according to Liu Weiqiang's correction.

This was even more so in the follow-up scenes on the street. The originally simple scene did not cause any obstacles to the crew based on Shao Yingxiong's acting skills. The only difference was that Shao Yingxiong's lines would be corrected before filming. Who told him that the Cantonese translator was from Guangdong, and the Cantonese spoken by the people from Guangdong still had a slight difference between the Cantonese spoken by the people of Guangdong and Xiangjiang, although the difference was not big.
