The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 266 A Dangerous Play
Although "My Uncle" has no big scenes and the action scenes look very simple, there are actually many dangerous scenes.

The plot filmed today is more dangerous.

In this part of the plot, the male protagonist is squeezed out by his boss, who arranges him to go to the safety inspection department and becomes the leader of the third team.

Because their team has a small staff, the actor often needs to go to the construction site to check the quality problems in person.

On this day, the hero and the others were assigned to a construction site to check a signal tower.

The subordinates following the male protagonist have been quite tired these days. At this time, they all seem to have just been castrated. The male protagonist is afraid that they will have an accident, so he puts on his helmet and climbs up to the [-]-degree vertical ground. The iron shelf, you have to go up and check it.

This iron frame is not in disrepair for a long time, but it is really too high. It is more than [-] meters to climb on it.

The male protagonist is carrying an inspection instrument, and his physical and mental state is also very poor at this time. Accidentally, the inspection instrument fell out of his hand, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces.

This is not a good sign.

However, although the hero was very frightened and frightened, he still insisted on completing the task.

It's such a plot. When filming, the actors naturally have to wear safety ropes, but even so, the safety of the actors must be considered.

It doesn't mean that everything will be fine if there is a safety rope. In such a high place, anything can happen.

The crew invited veterans in this field from Hengdian, and they also gave Liang Jiahui thousands of advices, telling him not to worry, just take your time.

And beside Liang Jiahui, there is actually another person, that is the cameraman.

The situation of the cameraman is the same as that of Liang Jiahui. He is even more dangerous than Liang Jiahui. Old Liang still has an iron frame, but the photographer does not, and he has to protect the camera.

Li Shengyao also warned the cameraman for a while.

After preparing for about half an hour, the filming began under the worried eyes of everyone.

Sitting behind the director's monitor, Li Shengyao saw Liang Jiahui climbing up step by step, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Perhaps when writing the script, we should express the actor's situation in a different way.

Or he should arrange a double, which is normal for such a scene.

But even if it is a stand-in, you must pay attention to safety. You can't joke about this kind of thing.

He picked up the thermos, drank several sips of water, and then put down the thermos, but his heart was still hanging.

Li Shengyao planned to do almost everything, this time he didn't pursue artistic effect, just shoot it once.

Leung Ka Wai used to film fight scenes on Hong Kong Island. Hanging wires was a trivial matter, and wearing a safety rope was trivial. However, martial arts movies have not been popular in recent years, and he is getting older. He has not filmed such scenes for a long time play.

He knows the danger of high-altitude scenes, and he also understands that he should stay calm at this time.

Step by step, he firmly grasped the iron frame, and then carefully took out the inspection instrument according to the script, but was unlucky, the iron frame touched by the instrument was thrown out of his hand.

"boom!"

The instrument fell, then split apart, into several pieces of scrap.

Liang Jiahui's body swayed at this moment, like someone who was suddenly frightened.

Li Shengyao breathed a sigh of relief after his outstanding performance.

The performance of this scene was very good, and the photographer also rewarded the chicken legs, which perfectly captured Lao Liang's reaction just now.

Later, Liang Jiahui manually touched a component of the signal tower, requiring him to lean out slightly.

That is to say, one hand is holding the iron frame, the other hand is stretched out, and half of the body is also stretched out.

This performance is even more thrilling.

Not only is there a cameraman next to Lao Liang, but there is also a distant camera below, shooting the scene at this time, to reflect the insignificance and helplessness of the hero at this time.

In the plot, the male protagonist stood on it, and was stunned for a moment, as if he saw himself falling.

The subordinates on the ground yelled and told him to come down almost immediately.

The male protagonist shook his head, thinking of his betrayed wife, of his bad job, of his elder brother and younger brother who had accomplished nothing, he was very disappointed and helpless in this world.

He tried his best, so kind, so hard, but he was still so embarrassed.

He suddenly thought of the heroine, the new female employee, who seemed to have changed slightly because of his care.

There is a gleam of light in the actor's eyes, not all efforts are in vain.

He then took a deep breath, leaned out carefully, and manually checked the device. After touching it, a green light turned on, indicating that the device was still working.

The male protagonist smiled and completed another task, then he carefully got off the iron shelf.

Liang Jiahui completed this performance very well.

He walked down, Li Shengyao took the lead in applauding, and then said with a smile: "One pass."

Liang Jiahui took off his safety helmet, waited for the field worker to help him remove the safety rope, thought for a while and said: "Director, the instrument fell just now, and I seemed to be in a daze for too short a time, is the connection not that good?"

Li Shengyao thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the case. It might be a bit abrupt if it was filmed facing the face on a big screen, but it would not be the case in TV dramas.

He always pursues the details, but this time there is no need, safety trumps everything.

When choosing between actor safety and winning awards, he must choose actor safety, which is his bottom line as a human being.

"That place was indeed a little rushed, but it doesn't matter, the camera was about to switch to the scene of the instrument being torn apart, and then cut to you. The expression changes in your performance are enough, and the audience knows that you are a little absent-minded at that moment."

People with good acting skills can accurately switch between several expressions in just one second.

If the acting skills are not good, it does take longer to show.

Liang Jiahui's performance just now was accurate enough, and Li Shengyao felt that there was no problem.

"Director, you have always been strict, don't accommodate me just because I am old."

Li Shengyao hesitated a little in his heart, should he shoot it again?

He made a decision in an instant, waved his hand, "It's nothing, the effect is really good, you'll know when the finished film comes out."

He then greeted everyone to turn around.

After filming this scene, there is a more dangerous scene where the heroine pushes her grandma down the stairs.

The heroine in the Korean version picks up grandma from the nursing home, and sometimes takes grandma out for a walk at night, so she uses the shopping cart in the supermarket to push grandma out.

Li Shengyao did not change the plot, and the mainland version also has it. After thinking about it, he decided to keep it and be careful when planning to shoot.

The field workers packed up their things, and the actors gathered to chat.

Li Shengyao stood beside him thinking.

Liang Jiahui glanced at Li Shengyao, and a smile appeared on his face.

He knew that the performance just now could actually be better, but for a person of his age, it is indeed dangerous to crawl up and down on an upright iron frame more than 20 meters away, with half of his body sticking out.

If Lee Sung Yew insists, he will continue to act, this is an actor's job, he has a work ethic.

But Li Shengyao passed, he will not ask to be the best.

Work is work and safety is paramount.

Li Shengyao's previous scenes were very detailed. In many cases, he had to go through several times to pass. Just now Li Shengyao went through it once, obviously considering safety issues.

Liang Jiahui is very pleased. Lee Sing Yew pursues quality, but also considers the safety of actors.

This is a very different director.
