Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

Chapter 160, "Blood Maze," filming wrapped! (3 updates, please subscribe)

The sex scenes all looked pretty good, and seemed quite enjoyable.

However, actually filming it was a rather tiring and arduous task.

Zhang Shuai'an had no experience filming bed scenes before and thought it would be quite simple, but he encountered difficulties right from the start.

They're just filming a movie; it's not like they're actually fighting a real battle with guns.

So he asked Monica to get some tissues and tape.

Lin Qingxia was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw this, she covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you laughing at!"

Zhang Shuai'an said, somewhat speechless, "Isn't it because I was afraid of offending you!"

"I don't care," Lin Qingxia smiled calmly, even giving Zhang Shuai'an a flirty wink. "As long as you're open-minded, I don't think I'll lose anything."

Of course he couldn't let loose; he was filming a crime thriller, not Tokyo Hot!

After taking several more shots, Zhang Shuai'an finally found a little bit of a pattern.

The two of them didn't need to be completely naked; only their upper bodies needed to be exposed, while their lower bodies were covered by the bed sheet.

Lin Qingxia only needed breast petals, since Zhang Shuai'an's back covered her most of the time.

When it's her turn to be on top, the camera will only appear behind her or outside the door to film her side and back, so there is no risk of her being exposed.

The filming was done through the gap in the doorway to simulate a detective's voyeuristic perspective.

Because everyone lacked experience in filming bed scenes, this scene took seven nights to film, and Zhang Shuai'an managed to accumulate nearly two thousand star points before it finally ended.

Because of the skin-to-skin contact, Zhang Shuai'an upgraded the temporary buff [Ice Skin and Snow Skin] into a permanent passive buff.

【A beautiful face and elegant figure】.

The effect of 【Ice Skin and Snow Skin】is simply to generate some coldness in the body, thereby maintaining the vitality of the skin and ensuring that the body is always at a comfortable temperature.

The current [Clear Skin and Jade Bone] not only retains this ability to slightly regulate body temperature, but also keeps the skin fresh and jade-like, and has an anti-aging effect. This effect can also be appropriately transferred to a partner of the opposite sex.

Brigitte Lin truly deserves her title as one of the pinnacle goddesses of Hong Kong entertainment, capable of continuously providing benefits and enhancing and elevating one's own abilities.

If he can maintain a long-lasting relationship with her, it will be of great benefit to him.

Zhang Shuai'an genuinely wanted to make a good film, so he focused on the camera work and set design, without any other random ideas.

Having experienced the ordeal and lessons learned from the first sex scene, the subsequent two scenes went much more smoothly.

Brigitte Lin and Chang Shuai-an also developed a tacit understanding.

Basically, as long as Zhang Shuai'an gently pats her buttocks, she knows how to move to make it easier for the camera to take pictures, while also avoiding any accidental exposure.

Brigitte Lin also found it quite amazing. She originally thought that filming a bed scene would be a very awkward thing, but she didn't expect it to become a rather interesting experience as it went on.

Of course, it was really tiring, even more tiring than actually doing it.

Filming had to be stopped after a short while, then the camera positions had to be rearranged, and they also needed to touch up their makeup.

For a moment or two, Brigitte Lin almost told Chang Shuai-an that they should just go for it.

This idea naturally only existed in her mind, and she quickly suppressed it herself.

After another week of filming, all the intimate scenes, including the bed scene, were completed.

After developing the photos of the sex scene, the crew went back and reshot some scenes between Madian (Tobin Bell) and the private detective.

By the ninth week of filming, most of the scenes had already been shot.

This is thanks to Zhang Shuai'an's strict control over the film's progress, as well as Leah Winchester's precise budgeting and skillful scheduling.

In the final scene of "Blood Simple," Zhang Shuai'an chose the scene where Ma Di is buried alive.

The landscape architect had already found a location: an abandoned farm on a highway outside California.

Leah Winchester had already reported these matters to the relevant authorities, so there was no need to worry about any accidents occurring during filming.

During the day, Zhang Shuai'an rented several RVs and took everyone to the suburbs.

"The soil here is a bit hard, and there's a lot of sand and gravel. It'll probably be quite difficult to dig, and it won't look very nice."

Tobin Bell personally surveyed the wasteland and then pointed in a direction: "Why don't we choose that direction? Potatoes used to grow there, but now it's abandoned. However, we can loosen the soil first and then do some vertical camouflage. It will be easier to dig it up later, and the scene will be more beautiful."

"Okay." Zhang Shuai'an nodded and said to Monica, "Monica, go back and tell everyone to come over with shovels to help loosen the soil."

Before long, the entire crew of dozens of people arrived carrying shovels to help loosen the soil.

Judging from this scene, someone who didn't know better would think someone had come to reclaim land.

At night.

Everything is ready, filming begins.

On the national highway, two vehicles were driving. The one in front was a pickup truck, and James Cameron was carrying a Steadicam camera in the back, filming Zhang Shuai'an's vehicle.

Although Zhang Shuai'an hasn't gotten his driver's license yet, he's still a skilled driver.

Chung Chih-wen, on the other hand, sat in the passenger seat with another camera, filming Zhang Shuai-an's profile.

At this point in the story, Ray (Zhang Shuai'an) discovers that his boss, Madian (Tobin Bell), is dead. He mistakenly believes that Elsa killed him, so he takes his boss's body to the outskirts of town to dig a hole and bury it.

He parked his car on the side of the road, then picked up a shovel and went down to the wasteland by the roadside.

Chung Chih-wen followed along, and these shots, with a touch of subjectivity, depicted Lei Li's (Zhang Shuai-an) panic, fear, and a hint of excitement.

After digging a shallow pit, Zhang Shuai'an threw down the shovel and went back to his car, only to find that the body in the back seat was gone.

In Chung Chih-wen's close-up shot, Chang Shuai-an's micro-expressions are brilliant, layered, and extremely expressive.

Then, Zhang Shuai'an saw something moving in the corner of the taillights. He went over to take a look and was shocked to find that his boss, Madian (Tobin Bell), was still alive!

Tobin Bell was covered in blood, crawling on the ground, groaning in pain, his will to survive extremely strong.

Zhang Shi'an was both shocked and terrified, and at the same time somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, James Cameron drove up slowly in a rented truck in the distance, his headlights illuminating Zhang Shuai'an from afar.

In a panic, Zhang Shuai'an grabbed Tobin Bell's body and forcibly dragged him into the car, avoiding the truck's search.

After the truck passed, Zhang Shuai'an laboriously dragged Tobin Bell slowly into the ditch by the roadside.

Disposing of corpses turned into burying people alive.

Lei Li (Zhang Shuai'an) was under immense psychological pressure, and he became increasingly aggressive.

Tobin Bell struggled to raise his revolver and aimed it at Zhang Shuai'an.

A look of fear and surprise flashed in Zhang Shuai'an's eyes. He subconsciously turned around and looked at his car.

When he came out of the office, Lei Li (Zhang Shuai'an) picked up the revolver and casually tossed it onto the back seat, where it was picked up by Madian (Tobin Bell), who had just woken up.

In the desolate wilderness, under a dark and windy sky.

A dark gun muzzle was pointed at Lei Li (Zhang Shuai'an).

Zhang Shuai'an's body trembled slightly. He was naturally afraid of dying, but a glimmer of hope remained in his heart.

There are only three bullets in this revolver.

Madian was shot.

He accidentally kicked it, and it went off.

So, there's only one bullet left inside.

But who can guarantee that the next shot won't go off?

Madian (Tobin Bell) pulled the trigger with difficulty, and then a soft "click" echoed in the quiet night.

Blank shot!

A strange light flashed in Zhang Shuai'an's eyes, and he immediately reached out to snatch the gun.

Tobin Bell immediately fired two shots, which were just two soft "pop" sounds.

Zhang Shuai'an seized the revolver and silently began burying it in the ground.

Tobin Bell let out a desperate cry, but was quickly buried by the mud.

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

"Click!"

Not long after Zhang Shuai'an turned and walked away, he immediately shouted, "Stop! Quickly rescue Bell!"

Several people rushed forward and dug Tobin Bell out of the mud.

"Cough cough cough! Ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

After Tobin Bell emerged, he coughed violently a few times, then vomited several times, laughing and complaining, "So this is what it feels like to be buried alive. Even the mud doesn't taste good."

After the staff who had been waiting in the distance had all gathered around, Zhang Shuai'an announced loudly, "Alright, I hereby announce that *Blood Maze*..."

Filming has officially wrapped!

A round of applause erupted.

-

"Everyone, go home and rest for a day. Tomorrow night I'll be hosting a wrap party at the best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles. Everyone must come, and families are welcome. It's a party where we drink until we drop!"

"good!"

"Fantastic!"

"Long live the director!"
