Chapter 105: Play in person

"Why do you need a substitute? Can't I do it myself? I haven't tried this yet!" Akina Nakamori asked the staff who was installing the Wiya in confusion. She didn't understand why the other party refused to let her try it in person.

Faced with Akina Nakamori's request, the staff understood what she was saying through the translator, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Miss, don't mess with me! It's very dangerous to hang a wire. If you fall down or something in person, I will throw my job."

"It's not so easy to fall down! And why can he do it? I can't. He is heavier than me!" Akina Nakamori pointed at the substitute beside him. Although she was expressing her dissatisfaction, it did not give her the feeling of being domineering and causing anger to lose her temper. Instead, she felt that Akina Nakamori had a bit of a cute and silly smell.

The staff saw Akina Nakamori pointing at the substitute and quickly explained: "This is a substitute that I have practiced. I can stand up after falling down a few meters high and rolling on the ground. Miss, you are so delicate and expensive, so don't bother with such dangerous things. If the director blames me, I really can't bear the responsibility!"

Although these staff members were specially invited by Tsui Hark from Hong Kong, the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts have always been the bottom of the Hong Kong film industry, and many of them even belong to the gray group. When some clubs come to the crew to collect protection fees, they need these Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts to fight, and they also have to act in various dangerous action scenes. They can be said to be doing the hardest and most tiring work, but they are also the most unknown person.

But it is precisely such a group of people who support the kung fu movies in Hong Kong movies, and use their flesh and blood to interpret many classic shots that can only be made in later generations by computer special effects. Some people have been injured and many others have suffered from disabilities, and some have sacrificed their lives for it.

However, although they are very important for a movie, the bottom is the bottom. Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts has never had a high status in the Hong Kong film industry. Even if the rise of Kung Fu movies later, the status of these people did not improve much.

Originally, when they faced actors, they felt that there was a gap in their identities. Now they are facing Akina Nakamori is a big Japanese star, which makes them even more confused about how to deal with it.

If you reject Akina Nakamori and offend her, you may have lost your job this time, but if you don't refuse her and let her do it yourself, if something happens, the one that will be destroyed may be their job. In the face of embarrassment, the staff can only keep being careful with Akina Nakamori, hoping that she can change her mind.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of Chen Yu and Tsui Hark on the side, and they walked over together.

After asking clearly what happened, Chen Yu took the initiative to speak to Akina Nakamori: "Akina, it is very dangerous to hang a wire. These professionals have only enough skills to deal with possible dangers after years of training. Even so, they cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents or that they will not be injured. You have never tried this kind of thing, so it is better not to take this risk."

However, compared to Chen Yu directly persuading Akina Nakamori to change his mind, Tsui Hark asked these staff members: "You are also familiar with this industry. I will ask if you can make her better by herself, will it be dangerous?"

"Director Xu, don't make things difficult for us. Of course, let this lady go on her own, but the problem is that we can't guarantee that there will be no danger! This lady has never been to Wiya, so we can't afford to do anything!" As soon as Tsui Hark spoke, the staff knew what he was going to say and hurriedly refused.

It is not strange for an actor to hang a wire by himself. Sometimes, in order to shoot close-up shots, or the actors are more dedicated, there will be actors to hang a wire by himself, but no one dares to promise that there will be no problem.

For these staff members, being able to work in Japan is obviously a big job. If they do it well, they will naturally make money and become famous, but if they fail, they will ruin their jobs in this industry.

Especially this is still overseas. If it is in Hong Kong, they may still dare to accept it and let Akina Nakamori come on his own, but in Japan, these staff members dare not try it at all.

When Tsui Hark heard what the staff said, he naturally understood the problem they were worried about. After thinking about it, he pulled Chen Yu aside to discuss.

"Mr. Chen, can I let Miss Mingcai go on it by herself? If she wants her to go on it by herself, she can take some close-up shots. The pictures taken at that time are better. If you use a stand-in, you can only take a few swept shots, and you can't take the front. This is much worse!" Tsui Hark still hopes that the actors can go on it by themselves, because the shots taken in this way are obviously much better than using a stand-in or editing.

Of course, Chen Yu could understand what Tsui Hark said. As a director, he must pursue the best shot effect. As for the actors, it is not unusual in this era, especially among Hong Kong filmmakers. At least this generation of Hong Kong filmmakers basically make kung fu films, and the hard bridge and hard horses are not fake at all.

But Akina Nakamori is not a kung fu actor after all, and she has not received training in hanging wires. If she forces her to do so, no one wants to see it if something happens.

But the director's suggestion made Chen Yu hesitate for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "Let me ask Ming Caijiang's agent, there is a certain danger in this matter. I want to ask her what her agent and the firm have opinions."

Tsui Hark nodded in understanding. He is not the kind of director who insists on making a tough move. If there is any danger in such a dangerous shot, if there is permission in advance, there will be no dispute afterwards.

Chen Yu found Akina Nakamori's agent, explained the situation to him, and asked him if he could let Akina Nakamori take such dangerous shots.

When Akina Nakamori's agent heard this, he naturally instinctively wanted to refuse. Akina Nakamori is the most profitable artist in the office now. Even if she wiped a little skin, he would be unable to take it, let alone the scene where he might fall from a high place.

But after thinking about it, he still said that he needed to ask the office for instructions.

After making a phone call and asking Akina Nakamori's own meaning, the agent finally gave a positive answer: "The firm said that Akina San can take photos by himself, but protective measures must be taken and no accidents can occur."
