Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 42: Start shooting

   All preparations have been completed, and "Happy Ghost" has finally started.

   Of course, there is one more thing before starting up, and that is worshiping God.

   On October 20, 1979, the opening ceremony of "Happy Ghost" was held at the Qingshuiwan studio.

   Including the people behind the scenes, there are only a dozen people in the core of the entire crew, and there are a lot of onlookers next to it.

   Li Zhiwen and the crew moved the table together, and then placed suckling pigs, roast geese, and fruits. After the arrangement was completed, Li Zhiwen brought all the crew members to the incense and worshipped God, speaking some auspicious words in his mouth.

   "All gods bless "Happy Ghost" at the box office."

   "All gods bless the filming of "Happy Ghost"."

  ......

   After Li Zhiwen paid his respects, Zhang Guorong, Huang Tingyao, Li Lizhen, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and others also put on incense and prayed one by one.

   Their worship ceremony was held on the Clearwater Bay studio, because the scene of the ruined temple in the opening scene was shot here, and the drama on the beach can be filmed on the beach near Clearwater Bay. Li Zhiwen's rental equipment is in the Clear Water Bay studio. You can shoot here before going to Tiu Keng Ling Middle School, saving a lot of time and money.

After the people worshipped the gods one by one, they began to divide the food on the God of Cookery stage to show good luck, but everyone looked a little uneasy. The new director, new actor, and new crew were all new from beginning to end. It is conceivable that everyone is under pressure. How big.

   Zhao Yazhi was originally going to join the "Happy Ghost" crew to participate in worship with Li Zhiwen, but because of Huang Hanwei's entanglement, he missed the time for worship.

   Zhao Yazhi took advantage of Li Zhiwen's command of the field workers to build the scene of the ruined temple, stepped forward and asked, "Awen, is there anything else I can help?"

   "I didn't see my sister before, I thought you weren't coming." Li Zhiwen smiled and said: "Basically everything is done, sister, you just wait to see it into a movie."

   Zhao Yazhi laughed and said, "Well then, don't make comedy films into horror films."

   Li Zhiwen said, "The name is Happy Ghost, and it is happy and scary to keep."

   "You brag!" Zhao Yazhi said, "Awen, do you have enough money? If the budget is not enough, I still have 300,000 deposits..."

   Zhao Yazhi sounds very popular, but she is just a long-term actor of TVB. Everyone knows that TVB is stingy, and she usually gets a fixed salary for filming TV series.

   It can be said that this 300,000 is all Zhao Yazhi’s savings, which makes Li Zhiwen very moved. If it were not for the set, Li Zhiwen might want to hold her in his arms.

   "Just collect your money honestly, what I have is money, but every movie has to have a budget, otherwise it will not be appropriate to spend too much." Li Zhiwen said happily.

   "Director, where is this door better?" A field worker suddenly asked, finally replacing Li Zhiwen's soul.

Li Zhiwen asked the two field workers to stand by the door with their hands on the broken door, and then kicked in. The broken door fell to the ground with a "bang", and laughed: "It's more natural to fall like this, and get some dust up there. Get some spider webs in the corner of the idol..."

   After the scene was set up, Li Zhiwen commanded the placement of the camera and lighting equipment. Then Zhang Guorong, dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms, walked in step by step and hung a rope from the beam to commit suicide.

   The white light flickered in the broken temple, but the lighting engineer was imitating the lightning.

   "Boom!"

   The sound engineer and the other person shook the cardboards of various thicknesses, and thunder immediately rang out in the room.

   "Crack!"

   Li Zhiwen shouted, with a smile on his face. The current situation of the crew makes him very satisfied, and everyone works with enthusiasm.

  The scene was changed to Hong Kong in 1979. Several men and women from a high school entered the ruined temple from the rain and took away the ropes with the ghosts of talents.

What is about to be filmed is the scenes of these students in the ruined temple. Female No. 1, Female No. 2 and Female No. 3 are performed by Li Lizhen, Wen Bixia, and Li Saifeng, respectively. Since Li Saifeng’s contract was only five years old. Years, so Yan Ruyu, who played the least role in the scene, was played by him.

The male number one happy ghost Lin Xiucai was played by Zhang Guorong, and the male number two who chased Wen Bixia was played by Huang Tingyao. Although this film does not need to consider acting skills, after all, Huang Tingyao’s first filming, being the male number two is already very good. Great progress has been made. After all, Leslie Cheung still has a lot of fans who can increase the box office. Several other male and female students were recommended by Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin is responsible for the annual celebration activities of Tiujingling Middle School. He is very clear about which students are suitable for acting and saves Li Zhiwen a lot of effort in choosing actors.

   Right now is a group show of five men and five women. In fact, there are more lines from Li Zhiwen, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen, and the others just do actions and expressions.

   After Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen got the script a few days ago, they both practiced rehearsing and performed very well in private. However, it may be the reason for the nervousness of the camera, and the performance at the beginning was not good. Later, after Li Zhiwen encouraged him, it gradually improved. On the contrary, Wen Bixia, because when he got the script, he didn't study hard and was very nervous. He was afraid that Li Zhiwen would scold her, and the more nervous she would be, the worse her performance.

   Li Zhiwen knows that you can't scold people at this time. After all, Wen Bixia is a newcomer. The more you scold her, the more nervous she gets.

Calling Wen Bixia aside, Li Zhiwen comforted and encouraged: "Don't be too nervous, just as you usually rehearse. You are actually great and have the potential to be an actor." Then, Li Zhiwen tempted him to profit. Said, "In your spare time, think about what your previous home was like. Only when you have done the trick, can you live the life you want..."

   After Li Zhiwen calmed down for a while, she finally let her relax and the filming was on track.

  Looking at it carefully, the acting skills of the three are very blunt, inferior to many extras on the Clearwater Bay studio. However, "Happy Ghost" is a commercial comedy with no nutrition. It sells laughter and young beautiful girls. As long as the acting is decent, it's fine.

   With the setting and makeup time, the scene of the ruined temple took only three hours to shoot, which is very fast. According to this progress, the whole scene will be completed for at most half a month.

  Don't think about making a movie for a few months~www.wuxiaspot.com~It is a super blockbuster, and Hong Kong movies have always been known for their speed. Many films of Wang Jing's later generations were shot in a dozen days.

   After filming the scene of the ruined temple, all the crew set off to the beach near Clear Water Bay to continue filming the scene of students camping on the beach, taking advantage of the darkness to shoot a few more groups, and there are night scenes in the evening.

It’s already October. Although the temperature in Hong Kong during the day is high, it is still more than 10 degrees at night. Coupled with the sea breeze from the beach, the weather is cold and whistling, but all the actors in the crew are wearing half sleeves because they are shooting It's a summer play.

  Especially Li Lizhen and other girls, they must wear swimsuits. Their beautiful figure by the beach is also a selling point that attracts everyone to watch movies.

Several girls in swimsuits were blown by the cool breeze. The cold bumps on their bodies were all up, but they had to run and play on the beach, even playing in the water, getting wet all over, and pretending to be happy. .

   After taking a set of shots, Li Zhiwen stopped for a few minutes to let several girls put on coats to warm up.

   In the evening, the daytime scenes were all filmed, Li Zhiwen quickly asked the clerk to bring up the lunch, and after eating, he needed to continue filming the evening scenes.

   But Huang Tingyao doesn’t know how to use the guitar. He can only use a stand-in to pat his whole body. The one who plays the guitar asks another person to sing:

  "I am stepping on the same pace

   is to cooperate with your arrival

   when hesitated

please follow me

  ......"

   The song "Follow Me" is an episode of "Hit the Wrong Car", and it hasn't come out yet, so the song naturally became Li Zhiwen's original sing.

   While playing and singing, the filming of "Happy Ghost" in the ruins of the temple and the beach is over. Tomorrow, I will move to the filming of Tiu Keng Ling.
