Chapter 789 Finished, return to Beijing(1/2)
Mid-December.
Over the past month, as the filming of "Infernal Affairs" has reached the final stage, the tacit understanding between the actors has become stronger and stronger, and the filming progress has been much faster than expected.
"Infernal Affairs" is a tense and depressing movie style, but it was more cheerful on the shooting scene.
Tan Yue is naturally extremely strict when it comes to movies, but he often jokes with the crew during breaks in filming.
Tan Yue believes that the best working condition is a combination of work and rest. Keeping a straight face all day long is indeed a deterrent to the staff, but no employee likes such a working atmosphere.
"Infernal Affairs" has many veteran employees who have filmed many film and television works with Tan Yue. They also know when to work seriously and when to take a break and joke around.
The most boring person in the play is Ma Guoliang, who usually doesn't like to talk. In addition, due to the needs of Chen Yongren's role, he often stays away from crowded places and stays alone.
At this time, Ma Guoliang was lying motionless in the elevator.
Today is the last scene of "Infernal Affairs".
"Infernal Affairs" has two versions, Mandarin and Cantonese, and the endings of the two versions are completely different.
In the Cantonese version, Liu Jianming killed the only big guy who still knew his identity in the elevator, forged evidence on the scene, so that he could escape and continue his career, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for the second and third parts.
Foreshadowing.
Tan Yue thought about it and decided to use the Mandarin ending.
Liu Jianming came out of the movie, his identity was exposed and he was arrested, and then gave Chen Yongren a close-up.
"Stuck." Tan Yue shouted loudly, and many people in the entire set held their breath, waiting for the final result.
Tan Yue looked at the monitor, playing the picture frame by frame, not missing any detail. Not long after, he picked up the speaker and loudly said: "I declare that "Infernal Affairs" has officially been completed!"
The quiet studio instantly exploded into a boil.
Five months of shooting, from summer to winter, was extremely difficult for everyone.
"It's finished!"
"I finally have time to have a good rest. I'm going to lie down for two days when I get home."
"I want to stay in Xiangjiang for a few more days. It will be very cold when I return to the capital."
"I haven't had enough fun yet. I haven't been home for five months. Don't you miss home?"
Ma Guoliang, who was lying in the elevator, stood up and touched the realistic bullet hole on his forehead, not feeling too happy in his heart.
The staff quickly came over and wiped the 'bloodstains' on the two actors.
Ma Guoliang stood blankly, not yet out of the role, still thinking about the life of the character Chen Yongren.
After being undercover for more than ten years, all his superiors were killed, and Han Chen's organization was taken away. He originally thought that he would be avenged, but he didn't expect that the murderer was someone else.
Tan Yue gestured for everyone to be quiet: "We will hold the closing banquet at Shunli Shanshui Manor this time. We will notify everyone when the time is set!"
"Mr. Tan is grand."
"Shunli Shanshui Manor! I heard from people who went there last time that there are a lot of fun things to do."
"Of course, last time I went there, the food, entertainment, and scenery were all good!"
There was another round of cheers on the set.
Tan Yue arranged for the staff to put away cameras and other equipment, and noticed something unusual about Ma Guoliang.
"Teacher Ma, are you okay?" Tan Yue handed him a bottle of drink.
The 'bloodstains' on Ma Guoliang's body have been cleaned up, and the surrounding staff have left for the time being.
He took the water and sighed: "It's okay, I just suddenly feel a little empty."
"Actually, I was worried when I first asked you to take this role." Tan Yue told Ma Guoliang what he had first thought of.
The best aspect of being an actor is experiencing different lives.
For an actor like Ma Guoliang who easily falls into a role, it takes some time to get out of the role.
"It will be fine in a few days." A helpless smile appeared on Ma Guoliang's face.
Tan Yue nodded and left. It was up to him to step out of the role.
After the group photo was taken for "Infernal Affairs", the assistant director directed the scene to pack away the props.
The accompanying assistant ran over: "Mr. Tan, the media reporters have arrived."
"Let them go directly to our conference room, I will be there right away." During the filming, Tan Yue did not accept an interview from a media reporter. Now that "Infernal Affairs" is finished, several media outlets have been selected.
After confirming that there were no problems at the scene, Tan Yue came to the conference room.
There were more than ten people in the conference room, journalists from five well-known media outlets in Hong Kong.
Photographers and reporters immediately surrounded him.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Sit down and let's talk slowly."
Arrange these people for interviews in the conference room to avoid chaotic scenes.
After the reporters sat down, Tan Yue sat across from the five reporters: "Let's get started."
"Director Tan, did you agree to this interview because "Infernal Affairs" has been completed?"
"That's right." Tan Yue didn't hide anything. There will definitely be paparazzi taking photos when he returns to the capital, and the outside world can also guess the completion of "Infernal Affairs".
"What kind of box office do you think "Infernal Affairs" will receive? What kind of expectations do you have?"
"I don't know what kind of box office results this movie will have in the end. As for my expectations, the higher the better."
All five reporters smiled.
""Infernal Affairs" is a police film. Do you think there is a lot of pressure on the box office?"
"Of course there will be pressure. If a police movie is showing in the cinema now, will you go and watch it?"
A reporter smiled and replied: "If it is Director Tan's movie, I will definitely watch it!"
The interview ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
...
...
Hotel entrance.
The accompanying assistant said: "Mr. Tan, everyone on the crew has already boarded the bus."
"Let's go too."
A commercial vehicle left the hotel and headed to the airport. Along with Tan Yue were Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua.
After a day of resting in the hotel, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" embarked on the journey back to Beijing.
Tan Yue looked at the scenery outside the window and was very emotional for a moment.
I spent five months in Xiangjiang. I was busy from day to night almost every day. Apart from seeing a few night scenes, I had never really seen the city. I thought that when I had free time, I would take Chen Ziyu out for fun.
Ma Guoliang closed his eyes slightly and lay on his back on the car seat. His condition was much better.
The vehicle arrived at the airport quickly. The plane back to the capital was chartered by Bright Entertainment Company, and other employees had already boarded the plane.
Passage, board the plane.
Half an hour later, the plane took off for Beijing.
After five months of filming, everyone was very tired. The plane was extremely quiet, and almost everyone was lying down with their eyes closed to relax. It made people feel that they were not the same group of people as when they came here.
More than three hours later, the stewardess's voice came over the plane's PA.
The group of people who were lifeless just now seemed to have been given a shot of blood, and their sleepiness was gone.
The plane is about to land.
"Wow! I'm finally back."
"My dog has been fostered at a friend's house. I wonder if he still recognizes me as his owner?"
"No matter how nice it is outside, it's still comfortable to go home."
After the plane landed, there was a lot of discussion. After getting off the plane, we quickly ran towards the exit, returning home as quickly as possible.
The bus prepared by Bright Entertainment Company is already waiting outside.
After the crew of "Infernal Affairs" came out of the exit, they saw people holding signs at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ziyu said with a smile: "Hurry up and get in the car."
Chen Ziyu said hello while raising her feet and looking towards the exit of the plane.
Finally, Tan Yue's figure appeared at the exit of the plane, and Chen Ziyu couldn't suppress the smile on her face even more, waving her hands.
Tan Yue responded immediately with a wave of his hand.
Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua greeted Chen Ziyu and left directly.
"Let's go! The car is outside."
