Chapter 227 Killing You, Uncle! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
"Tang An will create the most bizarre bank robbery in history, spanning more than 2000 kilometers, and steal more than 200 million Singapore dollars from the Bank of Singapore to Omen!"

"Magic or spells? Now Now You See Me will show the most shocking theft!"

"The ghostly director Tang An's mind exploded, and he robbed the bank in the air!"

"The highest state of a magician, if he can steal bank money at a distance of more than 2000 kilometers, it will surpass David Copperfield in 1983, in front of a large number of live audiences and 5000 million TV viewers, making the Statue of Liberty in New York Like suddenly disappearing without a trace, even more bizarre than the "Baglas" effect!"

To put it bluntly, a magician is an ancient juggler, who generally uses props or techniques or psychology to make the impossible possible.

The earliest magicians in China are probably alchemists, that is, ancient magic sticks, who make a living by fooling people.

The general way of fooling the common people to make a living, but a more powerful alchemist can fool the emperor.

Calling the wind and calling the rain, turning beans into soldiers, beheading and resurrecting, cutting tongue and spitting fire, resurrection from the dead, etc. have all been clearly recorded in history.

"Taiping Yulan Alchemy Department" wrote: "The king of Huainan was a good alchemist, and all of them saw the art, so he later painted the ground as rivers, the soil as mountains, hissing as cold and heat, and coughing as rain and dew. Wang Yizu and other alchemists all go.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the illusion mastered by alchemists reached the point of perfection.

"Book of the Later Han·Fangshu Biography" records: "There was a storm coming from the west, and Fan Ying said to the scholar: "The CD market is very hot. "

Because it contains water and rinses it westward, it is time for the reporter.The guest came from the capital of Shu and said: "It was a big fire on that day, and there were black clouds rising from the east. After a while, it rained heavily, and the fire was extinguished."

It means that one day when a gust of wind blew from the west, a man named Fan Ying told his disciples that the CD market was on fire.

So he spit out to the west with a mouthful of water, and let people remember the day. After a while, a guest from Bashu said that there was a big fire that day, and black clouds came from the east. was destroyed.

Of course, this is all fake, if it's really so awesome, it won't be long before it becomes a fairy.

The magic that Tang An is filming now is of course fake. On the second day after he came to Omen from the capital, after a launching ceremony was held, the filming officially started.

The entire script has been divided up, and the filming locations involve multiple countries.

Most of the locations that appear in the film are in several countries in Southeast Asia. After several months of hard work by the location team, they have also found the shooting locations.

Basically, they are concentrated in Omen and Singapore. Buildings from various countries can be found here, so there is no need to run around.

The first stop was in Omen, and today we will shoot the four of them performing magic alone, two during the day and two at night.

As the leading actor, Deng Chao's scene was at night, so Liu Ye was filmed first.

The crew contacted a restaurant by the sea, willing to provide a shooting location for free.

However, the group performers playing diners must order enough food, and the money must be paid accordingly.

That's no problem, men and women of all ages were selected from the crew to change into appropriate clothes and sit at a table by the sea.

"This boss is enough!"

Tang An, who was directing the crowd to play with lights and cameras, saw that the waiters in the restaurant were desperately putting food on each table, and there were bottles of wine of unknown brands.

"Director Tang, why don't I go talk to them?" Zhao Lei volunteered.

"Need not."

Tang An shook his head, "There won't be anything too expensive in this kind of seaside restaurant. You can go and tell the boss not to buy so many, and you'll buy it later when the filming starts."

After speaking, Tang An continued to tell the actors about the play.

Being in a foreign country, although Chen Guofu contacted a local film and television company in Aomen, who could provide group performances and group specials, Tang An tried to find guest stars from the crew as much as possible in order to avoid such trouble.

However, the two co-stars in this scene invited two white people, because when the time comes, Liu Ye can't guess the name one by one like Zhao Qian, Sun Li.

After more than half an hour, the filming began.

"Pay attention to all parts, check carefully, this is our first scene, I hope we can get off to a good start!"

"The actors are in place!"

"Scene three, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

Following Tang An's order, after half a year, the crew started working again.

In the restaurant by the sea, the hypnotic magician played by Liu Ye is performing here, and there is a sign with his own face on it in the middle.

It reads in Chinese, English, and Portuguese: World-renowned magician Mike Spofill's solo tour performance
Well, David Copperfield's brother, Mike Spafield.

The No. [-] camera was given Liu Ye's eyes on the sign, and the camera slowly zoomed out, and Liu Ye and two extras appeared in the camera.

"Now look into my eyes!"

Liu Ye hugged a woman's head, and snapped his fingers two seconds later to let her go.

He took out two 100 Australian dollar bills from his pocket and slowly spread them out.

"Okay, now if you can get this note from me, it's yours."

The money was held in front of him, and the woman on the opposite side wanted to reach out but couldn't do so, her face was full of surprise and confusion.

"Crack!"

Halfway through the filming, Tang An yelled to stop.

Although there was nothing wrong with their performances, Liu Ye had practiced this kind of magic many times, and his expressions and eyes were in place, but Tang An always felt that something was wrong.

Stare carefully at the monitor, leaning back to get a panoramic view.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Tang An realized the problem. The diners here were too strange.

Omen is a tourist city, and most of the seaside should be tourists.

Tang An thought about it and invited a few white and black people from the surrounding crowd, they would be more than willing to help out as a cameo, anyway, they just came to have fun.

After changing a few people, it seems that there will be more coordination.

Tang An shouted with a loudspeaker, "Everyone should be more natural, don't just eat with your head down, you can put your arms on the table or lean on a chair to watch Liu Ye's performance, or occasionally look at the distant on the sea."

Then I spoke to those foreigners in English.

Shooting continues.

"Scene three, one shot, two shots!"

"start!"

"Now I'm going to take a sneak peek at what's going on in your husband's head."

As Liu Ye approached step by step, the white actor repeatedly said "NO" and backed away slowly.

Liu Ye put his right hand on his head, "I'm planning, don't tell me."

“beach, cocktails”

"Hawaii!"

Liu Ye snapped his fingers.

"Listen, it's a business trip!" the man explained.

"In a certain sense, it may be an old thing."

The man's secret was exposed, and he was anxious to take his wife away.

But Liu Ye stopped him, "You're thinking of a woman."

"A! B! C! DH! I! J!"

When he saw the guilty conscience in the man's eyes, Liu Ye determined the initials, and then used the same method to guess the name.

Ask the woman next to you, "Do you know Janet?"

"SS" She couldn't speak with her mouth, she could only make a hissing sound.

"sister?"

"Oh!"

Liu Ye was taken aback, "You're not on a business trip, you're on a business trip for Janet, your wife's sister?"

This magic by observing the micro-expressions went very smoothly, NG 5 times, only [-] times were due to the performance of the actors.

After the filming, Deng Chao was asked to take a back view outside wearing a sweater and a hat.

I have to settle the bill with the boss. After calculating the money, good guy, there are only a dozen small tables in total, and the cost is 1500 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 8000 RMB.

"Then thank you boss!"

"I give you the bag, I give you the bag." The boss said casually in Chaoshan dialect with a smile on his face, holding the money in his hand.

You uncle!

Do Chaoshan people know how to do business like this!

Then moved to the nearby seaside, the crew rented a boat, and filmed the scene of the thief played by Deng Kai.

There is no difficulty, it is still a guest performance by the crew.

And Deng Kai's magic tricks were also very simple, and he had to be exposed deliberately. According to the rules, he was given 1000 baht to the magician who exposed him, but when he gave the money, he took his wallet away without anyone noticing.

Everyone's appearance is different. When shooting, try not to capture the iconic buildings in the background.

The two scenes during the day went well, and at night, as night fell, the scene of Tang Yan escaping from the water tank was to be filmed.

"Is the freshwater pomfret ready?"

Coming to the shooting location that another group of people had arranged, Tang An asked Zhang Yiping.

"It's ready. The eyes of the pomfret are painted with red paint, and the body is also painted with glitter powder." Zhang Yiping replied.

"Well, go get ready, shoot in an hour!"

Tang An nodded, of course it is impossible to use a real piranha, otherwise it will really kill people.

Freshwater pomfret is somewhat similar to piranhas. Although the teeth are sharper than ordinary fish, they are not aggressive, and the teeth are not as protruding as piranhas, but are blocked by thick lips.

In addition, the eyes of piranhas are crimson, and there seems to be a layer of silver powder on the fish, which is shining.

Paint the eyes and glitter powder on the body, enough to make it look real.

However, there are a few close-up shots that need to be shot separately, and some piranhas come over to take pictures of their fierce appearance and sharp teeth.

An hour later, the live extras were in place, and Tang Yan also came out in a sexy black leather jacket.
