Chapter 465 Filming of "Lust, Caution"

The news that Su Chang would star in the Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Man" spread quickly in the domestic entertainment industry, making other domestic artists extremely envious.

Hollywood is the dream paradise for all filmmakers; no actor wouldn't want to develop their career there.

What makes Su Chang qualified to go?
Many people in the entertainment industry are secretly jealous of Su Chang. What kind of luck did she have? First, she was highly praised by Cheng Sheng, and then the TV series "The Great Tang Dynasty" made her a well-known artist in China. She even won the Best Newcomer Award at the Venice Film Festival, and became famous internationally.

Spielberg later personally invited her to star in "Memoirs of a Geisha".

Unfortunately, Su Chang, for some unknown reason, refused.

I thought she was an idiot, but then she landed a big role in a Marvel movie.

This luck is unbelievable.

"Hmph! What a little bitch. If it weren't for Cheng Sheng helping her, how could she have gotten the resources for Hollywood blockbusters?"

On the set of "Lust, Caution," a certain Zhao, filled with jealousy, put his phone aside and angrily cursed.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Are you resisting the upcoming scenes? If you really don't want to film, you can talk to Director Li."

At this moment, Liang Chaowei walked over and said.

Upon seeing Liang Chaowei, Zhao's face revealed a slight smile.

Tony Leung is a top star in the industry, and Zhao wouldn't dare to give him any face.

"It's nothing, I'm just not used to real combat scenes, I'll be fine after a while."

Although she knew there would be scenes involving real sex when she signed the contract for "Lust, Caution," she was willing to accept real sex scenes in order to take the role further.

Moreover, it was a real-life encounter with a movie star like Tony Leung, something many actresses would dream of.

"It's alright. This is my first time filming a real action scene. In the past, when filming scenes like this in Hong Kong, we always used camera tricks. But Director Li has big ambitions. If we do a good job, winning an award is no problem," Leung Chiu-wai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao asked curiously, "Teacher Liang, why did you take on this movie? Didn't Sister Jialing object?"

When Leung Chiu-wai heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He had taken on the role mainly because of his pursuit of art and his need to break through his own limitations.

He has already achieved great success in the entertainment industry, and salary is not the main factor he considers when accepting roles.

He places more emphasis on the artistic value of his works and the improvement of his personal acting skills.

As a film with profound connotations and artistic pursuits, "Lust, Caution" provided him with an excellent opportunity to break through his previous roles and showcase the depth of his acting skills.

He hopes to elevate his acting skills through this art film, portraying the character in a more three-dimensional and realistic way, thereby achieving the ultimate expression of the film.

This unwavering pursuit of art makes him willing to take on challenging roles and scenes.

Therefore, even after reading the script and knowing that it contained explicit scenes, he still agreed to star in "Lust, Caution".

As for whether his wife, Jialing, will be angry!
Initially, the reaction was strong, but he quickly showed maturity and understanding, supporting him in breaking through his limitations.

Seeing that Leung Chiu-wai did not answer, Zhao realized that he had said something wrong. Just as he was about to change the subject, he heard the assistant director call out: "Mr. Leung, Mr. Zhao, get ready to start filming."

Upon hearing this, the two quickly headed to the film set.

Seeing the two approaching, Li An explained the scenes that were going to be filmed next.

The two listened attentively and nodded repeatedly before walking in front of the camera.

This was a sex scene. Li An kicked out all the unrelated people, leaving only the cameraman on set.

"start."

As soon as Li finished speaking.

Zhao and Liang Chaowei immediately got into character.

As filming progressed, the scenes became increasingly explicit, and both actors experienced physical reactions. However, they didn't seem to mind, as they were already immersed in their roles. One actor, Zhao, stretched out his arm, revealing his barely visible armpit hair.

Li An believed that most women of that era retained their armpit hair, so it should not be shaved off.

Liang Chaowei took off his clothes expressionlessly.

Actually, when filming this scene, Lee An considered that he had a wife and asked him if he could find a stand-in to film these scenes.

However, Leung Chiu-wai felt that it was not worth it for him to use a stunt double in a production, so he decided to do it himself.

He longed to participate personally, with the sole goal of better empathizing with the character.

In this drama, Tony Leung plays a character named Mr. Yi, who appears mature and composed on the surface. He presents a mature and composed image in front of outsiders, but reveals his inner vulnerability in front of the female lead, Ms. Zhao. He is the key to driving the development of their relationship.

In order to better portray their characters, the two insisted on not using stunt doubles in any scene they were filming.

This made Li An realize that he had indeed hired the right person.

"Card!"

Li shouted.

Liang Chaowei and Zhao stopped and looked at Li An.

Li An frowned. When filming such explicit scenes, both male and female actors may experience some physiological reactions, which is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

Filming sex scenes is inherently difficult, but to create aesthetically pleasing scenes without resorting to clichéd lustful themes requires even greater skill from the director.

Filming sex scenes requires skill; different angles result in different feelings.

When the two kissed just now, it felt cliché to Li An, so he called for them to stop.

"Let's start over."

"If it doesn't work the first time, we'll shoot it a second time; if it doesn't work the second time, we'll shoot it a third time. We have to make sure it's shot to my satisfaction."

They then filmed for two hours straight, shooting a bed scene countless times, but Li An was still not satisfied.

Problems also frequently arise.

It's either Zhao who has a problem, or Liang Chaowei, and then there's the issue of photography, angles, and the overall composition.

Especially when the two were about to engage in actual combat, Li An hesitated about whether to stop.

This is because they were so immersed in their performances. To put it nicely, it's a testament to the actors' professionalism; to put it bluntly, it's reached the point where they were taking the role too seriously.

Although this makes the film look more realistic, "Lust, Caution" is an art film, not a film about lust.

After so many times, Li An's patience was almost worn out.

"Take a break, we'll film again this afternoon."

Li An threw down the megaphone with a dark expression, finished speaking, and left the room.

Liang Chaowei and Zhao exchanged a glance, and the two quickly put on their clothes.

"Teacher Liang, is Director Li angry?"

After getting dressed, Zhao asked worriedly.

“This isn’t your problem. After all, it’s your first time filming a movie like this, and it’s normal for a real combat scene to take ten or twenty days to film,” Liang Chaowei said calmly.

During the two-hour shoot just now, it wasn't just Zhao who made mistakes; he also made mistakes. Moreover, Director Li was even stricter, so it was impossible to finish filming in one day. We could only rely on time to work it out.

As they left the room, the two suddenly saw several extras huddled together, discussing something. (End of Chapter)
