Chapter 305 Awesome Casting

Gu Wei remembered that it was less than a year before Baoqiang's accident, and he didn't know if he was a little alert now.

It's just that before something like this happens, it's hard for outsiders to say anything, otherwise they won't be human inside and out, and they won't even be friends.

Gu Wei could only occasionally give a few side tips.

After all, Bao Qiang is definitely one of the stars in the entertainment industry who really says they are clean and have no problems at all.

A pillow person in life and the closest partner in work. Together, they can't dig out any dirty information.

If it were those celebrities who came later, without the help of their agents, an employee in the company would immediately be ruined if they reported the matter with their real name.

In official matters, Gu Wei is frank and considers himself no worse than Bao Qiang, but in terms of his private life, he cannot compare.

He can't be devoted, but he admires Bao Qiang who is responsible for his feelings and family, but it's a pity that he trusted someone else.

The next day, all Hollywood union personnel were in place.

It was different from when I went to Thailand. At that time, all the crew members were brought from China. The team was very large and only a few extras were recruited locally.

But it is not possible to do this when filming in the United States. First of all, not all staff members can get visas. For example, photographer Du Jie, his mechanical team leader and lighting engineer have not passed the visas, so they can only get visas through the labor union in New York. Hire local staff to cooperate.

In addition, the film union here also requires that the crew must not be less than 30% local.

There are many newly recruited staff members in various groups.

There's just one problem. There aren't many people in the crew of "Tang Detective 2" who can communicate fluently in English.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of cooperation between newcomers and old people, director Sophie found these union members who can basically speak Chinese, and the majority of them are Chinese.

Of course, with an additional skill, wages will also increase.

Gu Wei let everyone get acquainted with each other before getting ready to start the official shooting.

Today is the first day of shooting. There are very few shooting tasks in the morning. We have just arrived in a new place, and the colleagues around us are also new. The main thing is to sharpen the lens.

The entire crew is like a machine. Some of the parts are new. If you want the machine to run smoothly, you must first let it start working and let the new parts and old parts fully run in.

Sometimes it is necessary to add some lubricating oil. In fact, the size and shape of the new parts are wrong and they need to be replaced in time.

In the dressing room, Gu Wei changed into the clothes in the drama, put on makeup, and walked behind Nazha.

Her current outfit is the same as the original "KIKO", with playful and elegant long straight twin tails and blue-green hair color.

Wearing a sports-style loose-fitting top, shorts, and a pair of straight long legs that are white and slender.

Wear earrings, necklaces, bracelets and many other trendy accessories. In the movie, these are all detachable and reconfigurable black technology equipment.

"very good!"

Gu Wei praised.

Nazha's appearance is simply inferior to the original version of Shang Yuxian. As long as her performance is not bad, her version of KIKO will definitely attract unlimited fans.

"Nazha, do you remember what I said about your character?"

"A ghostly spirit, cheerful and lively, confident and sassy!"

"What's most important?"

Naza thought for a while and said tentatively:

"cool?"

"Yes, I told you, your role must be very cool!

Two-dimensional girl, dazzling and cool!

I believe you can do it! "

Gu Wei patted Nazha, who had not finished putting on makeup, to give her confidence.

In fact, he did feel that Nazha was capable of playing this role well.

The role of "Ding Jianguo" played by Naza from the original time and space in Da Peng's "Sewing Machine Band" is very good, and her character traits are somewhat similar to "KIKO".

Since she can play "Ding Jianguo" well, Gu Wei believes that she will have no problem playing "KIKO".

After a while, all the actors put on makeup and prepared in the corresponding positions as required.

The first scene begins.

According to the predetermined shooting plan, every time we are in a shooting location, we must shoot all the scenes that happen in the movie, so the shooting sequence will be quite confusing.

Luckily the first scene they shot was also the beginning of the movie.

Uncle Qi offers a reward of 5 million to catch the murderer of his grandson, and all the detectives gather together.

As two doormen in black opened the door.

"Qin Feng" played by Gu Wei and "Tang Ren" played by Wang Baoqiang walked into the hall.

Looking at the men and women in different costumes in front of him, "Qin Feng" knew that he had been deceived by "Tang Ren".

"Are these people here for the wedding?"

"Yes, they are all relatives and friends of Axiang. Let's have a lot of fun together tomorrow!"

Wang Baoqiang, who has curly hair and big teeth, took off the sunglasses on his face.

He was wearing a leopard-print fur, dressed like a nouveau riche, and said exaggeratedly.

Gu Wei's eyes were roaming around the whole place.

"who's that person?"

He looked at Nazha, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, dressed in two-dimensional clothes and concentrating on playing with the laptop on the table in front of her.

"Axiang's cousin~"

"Where is this strong man?"

"Axiang's ex-boyfriend, as you know, before she got good with me, she had a very strong taste!"

Wang Baoqiang explained naturally.

"Where is that person?"

Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and pointed at Satoshi Tsumabuki sitting in front of the bar in the distance.

Seeing them looking over, Satoshi Tsumabuki, who was wearing a red suit and holding a red fan, raised his wine glass to them.

"Axiang's cousin."

"Japanese?"

Gu Wei questioned.

"Mixed Chinese and Japanese~"

"What about her?"

In front of them was an old lady wearing a white suit and reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in her hand.

"Axiang's mother-in-law~"

[Sun Tzu's Art of War] was put down to reveal a black man's face.

Both Gu and Wei's eyes widened.

Gu Wei stretched out his hand and pointed at her:

"she"

Wang Baoqiang quickly explained

“I got a tan in Sanya~”

This section was filmed back and forth several times. Although the plot is simple, the main personnel of the detective competition all showed their faces.

Later, Gu Wei exposed Wang Baoqiang's deceitful face and guessed the identity of everyone present through his own analysis.

This sequence is probably one of the easier to film in the entire movie.

The whole process was in this hall, but the camera kept changing to capture the characteristics of everyone present.

Over and over again, although it was a bit boring, neither the staff nor the actors complained.

Everyone is not a newcomer, a new crew has started filming, and everyone knows how the director sharpens the lens.

After filming a few more times, Gu Wei ran behind the monitor to replay the scene and discussed it with the assistant directors around him.

"Okay, this is over, let's take a rest."

The actors in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and began to move freely.

"Baoqiang, please do your best. Let's film the scene where the heroine outside the door appears."

"Okay, director."

Wang Baoqiang is definitely a dedicated actor when it comes to filming. He never complains or feels tired when working. Gu Wei felt this when he was filming "Tang Detective 1".

The two of them and the crew went outside, which was actually outside the hall door, separated by a wall.

Liu Yifei, who has put on makeup, is also ready.

Outside the door, Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang were arguing.

"Old Qin, how can you bear to leave me alone?

I'm your uncle! "

Wang Baoqiang's eyes widened, and he sprayed spit foam onto Gu Wei's face.

"Explicit!"

Gu Wei stammered.

He stretched out his hand and pushed it aside, and was about to move forward, but found that he couldn't move his legs.

"Blood is thicker than water!"

Looking down, he saw Wang Baoqiang hugging his thigh like a koala.

"Old Qin!

Do you know what Axiang means to me? "

Wang Baoqiang cried and said, the folds on his face coming together like a shriveled and wrinkled orange.

"I am willing to dedicate my life's energy and blood!

I will never fall in love with any woman again in my life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chinese New York detective "Chen Ying" played by Liu Yifei stepped up step by step from the bottom of the steps on high heels.

She was wearing a women's suit with an open upper body and a white shirt underneath. She had shoulder-length hair and a dashing appearance.

At this moment, Gu Wei felt that his casting for this version of "Tang Detective 2" was simply too successful.

The actor Liu Chengyu of the original version of "Chen Ying" is of Chinese and Italian descent, and his appearance can only be described as an average beauty in the eyes of domestic audiences.

There is no way to compare with Axiang in the first part.

But Liu Yifei is different. Some people have questioned Liu Yifei's acting skills, but no one has ever doubted her appearance.

Pure natural top beauty.

It is much more reasonable that her appearance as "Chen Ying" fascinated Wang Baoqiang.

Moreover, with her many years of experience in living in the United States, her identity as a swordsman, and her combination of beauty and heroism, it couldn't be easier to play a Chinese detective.

Liu Yifei walked past Gu Wei and glanced at the two of them.

Behind him, Wang Baoqiang stood up like a pug, looking like a pig.

Looking at her back, he shrunk his tongue and murmured:

"Axiang~"

"Sister Yifei, when you come to me and Baoqiang, you'd better have some micro-expressions on your face.

‘Chen Ying’ doesn’t agree with Uncle Qi looking for these detectives.

In her opinion, the so-called detectives are clowns, and ultimately they still have to rely on the police.

Seeing "Tang Ren" and "Qin Feng" playing tricks further confirmed this idea.

So when you see the two of us, you have to feel some contempt and impatience. "

Gu Wei looked at the footage he had just taken and called Liu Yifei to talk to her.

"Yeah~ I understand, be sure to pay attention next time."

Liu Yifei thought about it and knew how to act.

"Director, what about me?"

Wang Baoqiang also came over and asked.

"Baoqiang, your acting is very mean and fits the character very well. Just keep it up."

Gu Wei said with a smile.

Liu Yifei also covered her mouth and laughed.

Before 5 pm, all the shooting tasks for the first day were completed.

Gu Wei and several assistant directors were surprised.

I originally thought that the filming progress on the first day would be slow due to the running-in, but I didn’t expect that everyone was very serious.

In addition, I did enough preliminary work and took into account some possible problems. As a result, the shooting progress was unexpectedly fast.

In the evening, after dinner, Gu Wei called everyone together for a meeting as usual.

This time, in addition to being familiar with tomorrow's shooting plan and eliminating possible problems, there is another review of today.

After a day of shooting, everyone was somewhat tired.

But everyone also understands the importance of this work. If we hadn't been so well prepared for yesterday's meeting, today's daytime shooting wouldn't have been so smooth.

After insisting on finishing the meeting, it was already completely dark. Everyone went back to rest with their tired bodies and reserve energy for tomorrow's shooting.

In the hotel corridor, a guest room door slowly opened.

Nazha walked out of the door wearing a light yellow pajamas with her two big white legs exposed.

She looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor. She took two quick steps to the door of Gu Wei's room and pressed the doorbell.

This floor houses the main crew members and several leading actors.

The room is also the best suite in the hotel.

Gu Wei's room was diagonally across from Naza, very close.

Soon, the door was opened, and Gu Wei stood inside wearing a bathrobe.

Her hair looked a little wet, obviously she had just taken a shower.

He was not surprised to see Naza at the door.

"Come in quickly~"

He leaned over, let the other person in, and closed the door.

"You've been filming all day and you're so tired. Why don't you take a good rest and why don't you come here to see me?"

After Nazha entered the room with a happy face, she turned around and rushed towards Gu Wei.

She hooked her hands around his neck, clamped her legs around his waist, and hung her whole body on him like a koala.

"I'm abroad and I can't sleep alone~"

Gu Wei touched her head and said dotingly:

"It's fine with me, but I have to sleep well. I have to get up early tomorrow to film, so I can't delay the business~"

"Yeah~ I will definitely obey you!"

Naza nodded her little head like a chicken eating rice.

"Have you taken a shower?"

"Not yet~"

He looked at the other person's big watery eyes and sighed.

"Let me wash it again"

After saying that, she carried Naza and walked toward the bathroom.

This night, both of them had a good rest.

After taking a bath, Nazha still couldn't control herself, but after being spanked twice by Gu Wei as a warning, she had no choice but to sleep.

Gu Wei is not Liu Xiahui, but he understands the priorities of things.

Nazha will have a scene tomorrow morning, and she is already very tired today. Gu Wei will be fine if he plays a sport with her, and will be active tomorrow morning, but Nazha may have to stay in bed.

It's not worth the gain if you force yourself to be in poor condition and delay the shooting progress.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why rush.
