Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 364 Fang Long: I'm good at risking my life
Two days later, the crew of "Taken" was filming at the location.

Fang Long led his men to practice a new routine.

Slightly different from previous Van Loon-style comedies.

In the new routine, Fang Long moves swiftly and decisively, using surrounding objects to cause damage as much as possible.

The onlookers around applauded.

"Director Chen, how are you doing?"

After Van Loon finished his routine, he looked at the director expectantly.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and felt that Fang Long's approach was quite good.

It looks very sharp, and when performing the moves, there is hardly any big and sweeping movement like in many Hong Kong movies.

Not much different from my own thoughts.

He gave a thumbs up.

“That’s a job well done.”

Fang Long showed a look of delight, feeling that he was still as good as ever.

"but……"

The smile on Fang Long's face disappeared instantly.

Chen Linfeng thought for a moment and said, "Some places still need to be adjusted. I envision that some actions will use special effects to emphasize the sense of impact. The special effects company has been found. Brother, you need to coordinate with them when the time comes."

He told Fang Long his original idea in detail.

It continues and strengthens the style of utilizing peripheral objects and props in Van Loon's previous films.

In some action movies, special effects are used to enhance the sense of impact.

In the end, it became the action style of the new version of "Taken".

"That's it,"

Fang Long breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was nothing wrong with the movements he designed.

"We're just shooting an action movie. Do we need to insert special effects in between?"

Chen Linfeng sighed, "Hollywood has already introduced super powers and flying. If we just stick to the traditional action movie routine, it will be difficult to attract people's attention."

"That's what you said."

Fang Long seemed to be thinking about something and said he would go back and study it further.

Chen Linfeng is relatively confident in Fang Long's application of new technologies.

Just look at his past movies and you’ll know that he always comes up with something new.

After the two finished chatting, the shooting scene was almost set up.

Chen Linfeng stood in front of the monitor, watching the villain searching around the house.

"Click,"

Chen Linfeng called for a stop, then shouted with a gloomy face, "Where is the momentum I want? Are you just going to play the role of kidnappers?!"

He looked at assistant director Lawrence with an angry expression, "What kind of actor did you find for me? How come he doesn't look fierce at all?"

Lawrence wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'm sorry, Director. I will ask them to adjust their status immediately and ensure that there will be no more problems."

Chen Linfeng just looked at him quietly.

It was not until the other person was about to sweat again that he said "hmm" softly.

Lawrence rushed to the actors as if he had been pardoned.

Then there were shouting and scolding.

The staff around didn't dare to make a sound and just did their jobs carefully.

Chen Linfeng sat in the director's chair without saying a word.

Liu Qianqian was sitting a little further away and did not come over to chat with him like previous crews did.

Originally, Chen Linfeng's directing style was relatively gentle.

It can be seen from his subordinates Cao Yu and Cheng Er that they are used to joking in front of him.

Chen Linfeng originally planned to continue his previous style, but after he had a group of foreign subordinates.

He found that a gentle attitude could not calm these people down, even though they knew that Chen Linfeng had a high status and would show some respect to him.

But it is easy to drift away at any time.

Then bad habits like losing things, being late and leaving early emerged.

You have to scold and reprimand people in order to make them more obedient.

What a congenitally lowly holy body.

There was no other way, Chen Linfeng could only change his style and become a Hollywood-style irritable director to control them.

For this reason, Liu Qianqian reduced her communication with him on the set, let alone joking with him.

It is to avoid undermining the director's dignity.

Fang Long has become a little anxious recently, which may be related to this.

After all, he had never seriously worked with Chen Linfeng before, and he almost thought that this was Chen's directing style.

However, although it was very troublesome to do so, Chen Linfeng kept pretending and couldn't quite get used to it.

But it is not in vain that the efforts can be made to make those employees from Hollywood and those newly recruited from Paris work well.

I have to say that after doing this, these people's efficiency has really become higher.

Is it because when filming in France, they must have a foreign tyrant so that they will be more obedient?
So when I go to Damao's house to film, do I have to play the role of a kind father?
Chen Linfeng was thinking wildly in his mind.

At this moment, Lawrence's reply interrupted his thoughts.

"Director, I've already talked to them, it should be fine."

Chen Linfeng frowned, "Didn't you just say that there would be no problems? Why did you change to "should" now?

What else does the other party have to say when he sees it?

He waved his hand to interrupt, and said impatiently, "Okay, let's see the effect first."

Lawrence shut up in embarrassment, feeling bitter in his heart.

Why do I feel like the pressure is increasing? I even think I lost two extra hairs recently.

"Attention all units..."

Chen Linfeng continued to stare at the monitor and found that the effect was indeed much better after the adjustment.

Actually, the previous one can be used barely, but this one is much better.

It seems that this guy still has potential and can be pushed a little more.

The shot of the gang searching the room is finished.

Next it was Liu Qianqian's turn.

The daughter she played saw the gangsters kidnapping her friend from the window on the other side.

She was so scared that she quickly told her father what happened and then began to cry in fear.

Because those people are searching here.

Liu Qianqian performed very well in this scene. After all, she is an old actress, so this kind of role is not difficult for her.

Next, Liu Qianqian hid under the bed according to her father's instructions.

This scene actually only had some fleeting shots.

The main perspective is from Emily Ken.

Fang Long was on the phone, comforting his daughter to be quiet.

Then I told my daughter that she definitely couldn’t run away.

The important thing now is to put the phone on the ground.

Then the moment you are caught, you have to loudly state the other person's height, appearance, physical features, etc.

Finally, he made his daughter believe that he would definitely save her.

The main perspective of this scene is Fang Long's performance, so Liu Qianqian only needed to shoot some small shots.

The sequel to this plot is that the villain picked up the phone which was still in use.

The male protagonist made harsh remarks to the other party.

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you want. If you want a ransom, I can tell you that I don't have any.

All I have are some special tricks, tricks I have learned in my long career, which are enough to become nightmares for people like you.

If you release my daughter now, the matter will be settled.

I will not seek you nor pursue you.

But if you don't let go.

I will find you...

Then I will kill you!"

The part of the original work where people make threats here is the most exciting part of the film, and the effect is very good.

Chen Linfeng copied it basically as it was.

Still in this room, after the scene where Liu Qianqian was kidnapped, it was Fang Long's turn to appear.

In the film, the protagonist has to fly from the United States to France, and then track down this room to look for clues.

The plot in between took place over several days, and the actual filming was done right after each other.

Logically, this scene should go from outside into the building, then from the rooftop to the windowsill, and finally into the room to search.

But the scenes outside were difficult to shoot, so Chen Linfeng disrupted the order again and shot the interior scenes first.

All I can say is that this is how movie shooting works, the time and sequence are all messed up.

Fang Long doesn't have many scenes in the room, he just observes and collects useful information.

The protagonist flashes back in her mind the process of her daughter talking to her on the phone and then being kidnapped.

He reproduced the movements one by one using his own movements, and even lay down under the bed to repeat the process.

These contents are not difficult to shoot.

Soon it was time for the infiltration scene outside.

And here is one of the changes.

The protagonist of the original work was quite skillful in entering the gate, but was clumsy in climbing up and down.

And this is exactly Fang Long’s specialty.

Chen Linfeng completely handed over the dominant power to Fang Long and his Long Family Clan.

Afterwards, he watched as Fang Long, wearing only simple protective equipment, descended to the third floor from the rooftop, relying on the floor structure and without the use of any tools.

Simply exaggerated.

Although this building was specially selected and even temporarily modified, it was just to make it easier for Van Long to operate.

But just watching him play like this is thrilling.

If you think about Fang Long’s past experience, this is still child’s play.

No wonder the insurance company blacklisted him.

Cao Yu opened his mouth and said, "This is really a life-threatening thing."

These words clearly expressed Chen Linfeng's thoughts.

Cao Yu was also shocked.

As Chen Linfeng was not very skilled as a photographer, he handed the filming of this scene over to the Long Clan.

Cao Yu was originally feeling somewhat unhappy.

I thought to myself, I’m already a two-time gold medalist as a photographer, so why is it that at the last minute the control over the shooting is still taken away from me?

Then I got the two golds for nothing.

Ok……

Although Director Chen won the two gold medals, I also got a share of the honor.

But now I see what others have done, the jib is almost out of its element.

Moreover, the photographer followed Fang Long up and down as if he was risking his life.

He really needs to learn one.

After two days of filming, Fang Long finally entered the room through the window.

"Brother is still awesome, he doesn't look old at all."

Chen Linfeng led the applause.

The rest of the crew, including people from Hollywood, were impressed and applauded.

Such an international superstar dares to do this, he really deserves respect.

The Long family team demonstrated their professionalism in this.

And won the respect of everyone.

Liu Xixi's hands turned red from clapping. She felt like she had witnessed what Xiaofeng had talked about, a real-life example of the older generation of actors who were so dedicated that they did not avoid risks.

After filming this scene, the scenes in Paris were basically finished, and the rest needed to be shot indoors in Emily Ken.

Liu Qianqian also has to return to China for the time being.

On the one hand, she doesn’t have many subsequent scenes, so she has more free time.

In addition, she will also attend the Magnolia Awards ceremony on behalf of Chen Linfeng.

Before the Magnolia Award, it was an international award in the Shenhai region.

It always tends to be international, or in other words, it almost never gives awards to domestic audiences.

Therefore, its influence was very low at one time.

But after the revision in 05, it gradually became more domestic-oriented.

Today, it has basically returned as one of the three major domestic TV dramas.
