Chapter 1 Shooting
When Baozi has a new drama, he naturally dares not slacken. As an actor with professional ethics, Baozi quickly entered the preliminary preparation stage after receiving the script.
Chen Lin made a suggestion. From the perspective of image, it is best to lose a few pounds of buns. Although the face cannot be lost, it is not difficult to lose weight!
Chen Lin felt relieved and took a plane to Thailand on Christmas Eve on December 24th.
After leaving the airport, under the leadership of Li Xiaoping, he walked towards the place where the crew gathered.
"I said, aren't you stupid? Why are you wearing so many clothes?"
Li Xiaoping wore a short-sleeved shirt and a sun hat, which looked midsummer.
"Nonsense, it's still winter in the capital. What if I wear too little and gets frozen?"
Chen Lin took off the down jacket and held it in his hand, but he was wearing a wool sweater and autumn clothes and pants.
A little bit of sweat appeared on the cheeks and forehead.
Thailand is a tropical country, and it is summer all year round. Even if it is December, the temperature is still around 20 to 30 degrees!
It's hot!
It was Chen Lin's first time to come to Thailand. He was full of curiosity. He lay on the window and looked out. After a long time, he turned his head and said to Li Xiaoping, "I didn't expect that the Thais are really dark!"
Although I have seen it many times in the movie, I was still a little surprised when I saw it with my own eyes.
They are all yellow people, and the appearance is really different!
"That's because it's tropical and it's plenty of sunlight. Besides, it's healthy..."
The two of them were talking nonsense, and the bus arrived at the station for about an hour.
The location of Chen Lin's shooting is on the west side of Bangkok, near Tang Ren Street.
After all, it is impossible to occupy real streets.
...
"I will reiterate that our company has signed a contract with Lin Gengxing for 10 years. Without Tang Ren's written authorization, the agent agency contract signed by Lin Gengxing and any party is invalid!"
"Cai Yinong claimed: 'It is possible to lie alone to this extent. I drank coffee with Lin in Sanlitun in October and invited him to play in Pu 2. He said he was not very interested and then proposed the termination of the contract. I said you would like to think of an explanation for me and explain it to the team. He said that he played in Pu 2 as an exchange for termination!'"
Li Xiaoping, sitting opposite Lin Gengxing, put down the cell phone in her hand and looked at him without any expression.
This is a bar in Bangkok, right next to the hotel where the crew checked in. It belongs to a very high-end type and is relatively quiet.
After returning to the hotel from the set, sometimes Chen Lin and the others would come to gather, just treating it as a leisure time during the intense preparation stage.
"Xiao Shin-hsin? What do you think?"
Chen Lin looked at Huang Lei, Sun Honglei and Wang Xun who were watching on the side with a deep sense, and then asked.
"What can I think? She has treated me like this, so I can only terminate the contract!"
Lin Gengxing is also very distressed.
"Don't you learn from Yuan Hong? Let's leave until the contract is over?"
Chen Lin curled his lips disdainfully.
Propose a very regrettable character.
Yuan Hong, the handsome young man back then!
After performing "The Young Yang Family General", he never received a decent role. Even Tang Ren's own "Sword of Fairy 3" only allowed Yuan Hong to appear for two or three minutes!
Until "Sharp Heart", Tang Ren felt really sorry for this old artist who had been in the industry for nearly 10 years, so he gave him the role of Thirteenth Master, who was also a supporting role!
If you look closely at the film and television works that Yuan Hong has acted in, you will find that he lacks the male lead in a popular drama. He has always been a supporting role. The male lead in a serious drama is generally not popular. Of course, this has a lot to do with the planning of his previous agency Tang Ren. In Tang Ren for so many years, he has not found a male lead and has been a supporting role for many years.
If Lin Gengxing didn’t leave Tang Ren, he would probably play a supporting role professionally!
"There is no way, those people in the theater cannot get into the eyes of you guys..."
Huang Lei spoke.
"That's right, you guys like the students of Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy!"
Sun Honglei also mixed a few sentences.
"You can't say that. Teacher Huang, Sister Lianhua is the one who is on the theater, and Brother Quan is also on the theater!"
Chen Lin took the initiative to talk for a long time.
"Director Chen, do you think if I terminate the contract successfully, can Huayi sign me?"
"Why do you want to go to Huayi? Come to Xin Baoyuan!"
"Brother Honglei, I still want to make a movie."
Lin Gou and Sun Honglei are having a good time. Both of them are men from Northeast China and have many topics in common.
"Huayi will definitely sign you. They wanted to sign Hu Ge at the beginning, but unfortunately Hu Ge was unwilling."
Chen Lin nodded very simply.
Just as he was about to talk, Huang Lei suddenly spoke: "Hey, isn't that Tao Hong?"
Several people followed his gaze and saw a woman sitting diagonally opposite the corner, where she sat a very beautiful woman.
In fact, when he first entered the bar, Chen Lin noticed the woman sitting diagonally opposite him.
But at the beginning, it seemed like a young girl wearing a yellow short skirt. When did she change someone?
"It's true!" Chen Lin was about to get up.
"Sit down, who are you waiting for!"
Li Xiaoping grabbed him and said in a low voice.
"What's the meaning?"
"This is Thailand! Why did Tao Hong appear abroad? I heard that Tao Hong likes to go out and play..."
Li Xiaoping was about to spread some gossip information, but Chen Lin suddenly laughed: "Sister Li, Director Xu seems to be preparing to film "Lost in Thailand". Will you come and see the location?"
“…”
Well, I almost forgot about this.
Sure enough, after a while, Xu Baldou and Huang Bo also came to the bar.
They are all acquaintances, and they will naturally have a better conversation when they meet old friends in a foreign land.
Just bring all these people to the crew of "Veter" to play a role!
Chen Lin could see that these actors had a good relationship. If they could get a script to get all of them together, it would be great!
But in the following time, Chen Lin forgot this matter, because the preliminary preparations for "Chinatown Veteran" have entered the busiest stage, and many work that has been in progress or has been completed need to be reviewed and approved. Some future scene shooting plans cannot be solved by drawing a plotting draft. He needs to lead the heads of many departments for on-site inspections.
There is a very classic plot in "The Veteran" where the dock defeats the enemy.
Needless to say, the movement design of this section is very exciting and exciting, especially Captain Wu drove the police car and followed the thief slowly, and by the way he persuaded the thief to take the police car directly.
This terminal is a bit difficult to deal with, because there are few commercial terminals in Thailand full of vehicles and containers.
In order to solve this problem, Chen Lin led the production team to think of ways, discuss several plans, and finally decided to build a model.
It's also very simple. Just second or rent a few large boxes and place them neatly.
There are really no large-scale shooting scenes in other places.
Chapter completed!
