Chapter 474

To be honest, in fact, Lin Xiao first wanted Wang Pengfei to play the role of He Shangsheng.

Because I have worked with Wang Pengfei in "Infernal Affairs" before, it is quite pleasant, and Liu Jianming in "Infernal Affairs" is a young and Dangerous boy wearing a policeman's skin, but in "Dark War", He Shangsheng is A good guy through and through.

At the same time, he is also one of the male protagonists cooperating with Lin Xiao. If Wang Pengfei came to play it, there would definitely be a gimmick.

However, it is a pity that Wang Pengfei still did not believe in Lin Xiao's directing ability in the end.

The rooftop, seeing the rooftop again, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The most classic scene of "Infernal Affairs" before was the rooftop confrontation, and the first scene Lin Xiao chose to start this "Dark War" was also the rooftop.

The first rooftop show was Lin Xiao's one-man show, that is, the scene where the leading actor, Xiao, was on the rooftop, overlooking the city from the edge of the building.

There are no lines in this clip, it's purely about Lin Xiao pretending to be cool and handsome.

The first shot when starting up, of course, is as simple as it is, and as smooth as it is.

For Lin Xiao, of course, there was no problem with this shot, so the first shot after booting up was considered a smooth pass.

Although the first shot does not mean anything, but at least it is a good start for the filming of this film.

The second scene is still a rooftop play, or it can be said to be the whole play, the first confrontation between the two protagonists.

With the sound of the big board falling, the second scene officially started shooting.

Also on the rooftop, what's interesting is that this time he still pointed a gun at others, but he was also pointed at.

The actors for this scene were already in place, and Lin Xiao and the hostages were the first to leave the country.

"You're here? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Xiao was wearing sunglasses, squatting under a thick pillar with a middle-aged man, oh, the middle-aged man was his hostage, and he was pointing a gun at him.

This plot is the first game arranged by the protagonist at the beginning, using the kidnapping incident and hostages to seduce He Shangsheng and play a 72-hour game with him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a racing car." He Shangsheng, played by Liang Shaoqing, raised his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"It's so far away, it's inconvenient to talk, can I get closer?" Liang Shaoqing turned into a negotiator.

He opened his coat and said, "I don't have a weapon on me." After speaking, he walked slowly towards Lin Xiao.

"CUT! Stop, Director Lin, come and take a look."

Lin Xiao went to the camera to review the replay.

"Officer He, you also have a look." Generally speaking, the director rarely asks the leading actor to watch the filming clips by himself, and of course there are exceptions.

Liang Shaoqing came over.

"How is it?" Lin Xiao looked at Liang Shaoqing and asked.

"Um, it feels a little strange, but I can't tell." Liang Shaoqing frowned slightly.

"There is something wrong with your expression. In this scene, you and me, I am confident because I am confident and everything is under control, but you are a negotiator, and your career requires you to maintain confidence. Also, The hostage is in my hands. As a policeman, although you are very smart and have repeatedly solved major cases, there are hostages after all, so you must have a sense of urgency. How to perform, you are an expert, I think it should be fine?" Lin Xiao asked of.

Liang Shaoqing pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I see."

"Okay, let's do it again!"

Although Liang Shaoqing hadn't acted for many years, he was an actor at the actor level after all, so he quickly adjusted to it. In fact, this scene was not too difficult for Liang Shaoqing, but sometimes, it was inevitable that the plot was right. There will be some lack of control over the details, but after figuring out what Lin Xiao wants, he perfectly demonstrated his superb acting skills.

Under the camera, Liang Shaoqing walked forward fearlessly.This is the basic quality that a negotiator needs to possess, being calm in times of crisis.The camera follows behind, and takes a long shot to shoot this section directly.

As Lin Xiao said before, He Shangsheng is very confident in this, because he must be confident, calm, and adaptable, otherwise how can he convince the gangsters?But Lin Xiao is more confident.Because all of this is a well-prepared and carefully arranged round by him, so he is of course confident enough.

"I am Inspector He Shangsheng, how can I help you?"

Lin Xiao squatted next to the middle-aged man, his tone was a little mocking, and he said casually: "Some people want money, cars, planes, or to meet their wives."

"I don't want those things."

"Nothing, I just want to play a 72-hour game with you."

On the first day of filming, the filming went smoothly unexpectedly. Of course, most of the filming on the first day was the scenes of Lin Xiao and Liang Shaoqing.

But on the second day, everything is not so beautiful.

Especially the bank robbery scene, the filming has always been very difficult, because it is a group show. At first, the robbers had problems, then the gangsters had problems, and then the extras had problems.

For example, the scene where He Shangsheng cheated the black police.

The acting was good at first, but in the end, the actor who played the robber's corpse moved a bit when Liang Shaoqing pulled him.

This is a long shot, and he made such a move that the whole shot was useless.

The filming started again, and this time, the actor who played the black policeman had a problem again.
Lin Xiao also got a big head. He finally understood why so many directors are called tyrants on the set. Sometimes, they shoot over and over again, but problems occur frequently, and even the best patience will be worn down. Lose.

I couldn't pass the filming many times, Lin Xiao was irritable, and the actors were also irritable, especially because Lin Xiao is a new director, and there are so many people questioning from the outside world, so it will affect the mentality of the actors to some extent.

I always feel that there is a problem with Lin Xiao's control.

This is the running-in period for the new crew.

For the next three or four consecutive days, Lin Xiao felt that he was more tired than acting in a whole play after directing for a few days.

However, as the running-in period passed, gradually, the filming of the crew gradually improved.

Gradually, everyone also discovered that although Lin Xiao may be directing for the first time, this person really has something, especially in terms of telling dramas, perhaps because he is the screenwriter of the script, so he understands the characters. Far beyond ordinary people.

"Dark War" was filming in an orderly manner, and Lin Xiao once again discovered that being a director is really not something that ordinary people can do.

When I was an actor, I only needed to play my own role well in filming, but I couldn’t do it as a director. After work was over every day, Lin Xiao had to watch the clips shot during the day, and make arrangements for which scenes to shoot tomorrow, and which scenes need to be supplemented Shooting, etc., etc., there are really many miscellaneous things.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao is an investor himself, so no one dares to point fingers in front of him.

However, the disadvantages have also emerged, that is, according to the current shooting progress, the budget of 1 million is not enough.

But for Lin Xiao, these are trivial matters. He lacks everything but money.
