Huayu is free to do as you like

As time goes by, the crew's filming is getting better, the actors are getting into the mood faster, and other staff members are also cooperating with each other tacitly.

The crew members from China have won the respect of the local New York filmmakers with their hard-working attitude and professional skills.

Everyone worked together to make the movie a success.

Regarding this situation, the happiest person is Gu Wei, the director and boss.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the weekend. According to the shooting plan, today’s shooting location was New York’s landmark building “Times Square”.

There is a chase scene in the movie, where Gu Wei, Wang Baoqiang, and Xiao Pan drive a carriage through Times Square.

But in fact, real horses are not allowed to run in Times Square.

So the crew used the gold-dollar tactic. In a capitalist country, as long as the money is in place, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

If not, you’re not spending enough money.

Gu Wei spent a generous $2 million to have the New York City Police Department specially arrange police cars and seal off the entire road to coordinate filming.

But even so, the relevant local staff told them that they could only finish filming the real horse racing scene before nine o'clock in the morning.

Moreover, film shooting is only allowed in Times Square on Saturdays or Sundays. If the scene is not completed today, it will have to wait until next week.

This waste of time and money is unacceptable to the crew.

It was still dark, and all the crew members and actors involved came to the scene. In order to film this scene today, the local staff hired more than 300 people.

Now we don’t have to worry about expensive labor fees and overtime pay. The real cost of this event is the venue fee.

With the machines set up and everyone ready, just waiting for the light to be right, we can officially start shooting.

Time is tight, and every extra minute of delay here will cause funds to be burned like crazy.

Last night's meeting made everyone familiar with today's shooting process. However, when actually conducting such a large-scale shooting, everyone was still worried about something going wrong in their own process.

Another difficulty in filming this scene is that the streets in New York only have one-way streets, which requires the carriage to go far away and turn back, resulting in a very limited number of carriage runs.

According to calculations, the crew only has three shooting opportunities before 9 o'clock. If the final shooting effect is not good, they will have to wait until next week to reshoot this section.

Not to mention the time delay, the US$2 million was wasted.

More and more people are gathering around Times Square. It is the most prosperous area in New York and welcomes tourists from all over the world every day.

The lighting was just right, and as the assistant director yelled "action" from the loudspeaker, the script began and the expensive carriage chase scene began.

The trio of detectives ran and stumbled onto a white carriage.

There are not many lines in the entire scene here, only a few lines. It is completely a change of camera, and they are filmed from various angles as they drive through Times Square.

Once. Twice

Gu Wei stood behind the monitor, frowning as he looked at the footage that had just been taken.

He always felt like something was missing.

The director's dissatisfaction also made the crew and actors feel a little anxious.

The local government personnel who came to assist them were already checking their watches frequently, and the time was getting closer and closer to 9 o'clock.

There was only enough time left for them to take one last take.

There are more and more people around Times Square, and the crowd is getting denser.

It is human nature to like to watch the excitement, and foreigners are no exception.

Seeing such a large-scale filming by the crew, the police blocked the road, followed by police cars, various camera machines, staff, and more and more onlookers.

Two young white girls in cool clothes stood on the edge of the crowd on the street, looking in the direction of the crew.

One of them has blond hair and the other has brown hair. Each of them is carrying a backpack. They wear light-colored thin shirts on their upper bodies, denim shorts on their lower bodies, two long and toned legs, and a pair of white sneakers.

Apparently he was visiting New York.

"Mary, what kind of movie are they making?"

The little girl with blond hair asked curiously.

"I don't know, looking at such a big battle, maybe they are filming a [Marvel] movie about superheroes!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the two Spider-Man's movements of shooting out webs.

"Come on, let's take a closer look!"

The blonde girl said, grabbing her friend and walking in the direction of the set.

Gu Wei stood up from the monitor and looked around.

The frown on his face relaxed, and he knew what was wrong before!

In order to have more time to take pictures, they came too early. There were too few people in Times Square in the first two times.

The atmosphere of a big scene can't be seen in the camera.

Of course, these people can be made with special effects later, but now there is still another chance to shoot, and the flow of people in Times Square is increasing. Gu Wei does not want to waste it, and plans to shoot it perfectly one last time.

"Everyone, get ready, let's do it one last time!"

After explaining a few words to several assistant directors and shouting from a loudspeaker, Gu Wei returned to the carriage in the middle.

"Director, do we need to make any adjustments to our play?"

Wang Baoqiang asked worriedly.

The camera failed him twice in a row, and he was very anxious.

Everyone in the crew knows that filming now involves burning real money, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest.

Xiao Pan, who was following him closely, had the same expression, waiting for Gu Wei's answer.

"It's okay, stay strong.

It's not your fault, you performed very well both times just now. "

Gu Wei patted his shoulder cheerfully.

"Of course the same goes for Xiao Shan, who performed well just now.

Just wait until it works normally. "

"That……"

Wang Baoqiang was a little confused. Since the actor acted correctly, why was the shot substandard?

"There are some problems with the picture, but believe me, we will definitely succeed in the last pass."

Gu Wei didn't explain much and said to Bao Qiang confidently.

Wang Baoqiang was also infected by his confidence. He looked into Gu Wei's eyes and nodded heavily without saying anything else.

The final take begins.

As the three people boarded the white carriage, Wang Baoqiang shouted "Drive~"

The white horse took the three people in the car speeding down the road of Times Square.

There was a police car chase behind them, sirens blaring, and the dense crowd of onlookers all around looked at them, many of them holding up their mobile phones to take pictures.

The three people were on the carriage, laughing and shouting, as if they were not running away, but a big star going on a trip.

The last shot was completed just before nine o'clock.

Gu Wei looked at the camera again, and everyone was nervously waiting for his results.

"OK, everyone performed well. It's perfect this time. Get ready for the transition!"

After reading it, Gu Wei picked up the speaker and said.

"yeah!"

“Awesome~”

"."

The crew cheered, and the tight threads in everyone's hearts finally relaxed.

Gu Wei looked at everyone with a smile and told Xiao Cui beside him to prepare to move the equipment.

Then he discussed the next scene with Wang Baoqiang and others.

Not long after, I suddenly heard noises coming from outside.

Gu Wei frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

Soon, a staff member ran over.

"Director, someone came to visit the crew!"

"Visiting class?"

Gu Wei looked puzzled. He was filming in China, so it was not surprising that someone from the crew visited him.

But this is on the other side of the ocean, in an unfamiliar place, and there are no friends coming here.

He looked at Liu Yifei beside him.

"Sister Yifei, are you your friend?"

Speaking of which, Liu Yifei is the only one in the crew who has lived in the United States for many years, so some friends may come to visit the cast.

"I don't know, no one told me~"

Liu Yifei also looked baffled.

“Director, I’m here to see you, she’s a Hollywood female star!

There are many fans surrounding me outside. "

said the young man who came to report the news.

When Gu Wei heard what he said, he realized who it was.

"Go and ask the staff to let him in."

he ordered.

Among the Hollywood female stars who know him here in the United States, there is only one Austrian girl.

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei curiously.

"Do you still know Hollywood female stars?"

"Um~ If I guessed correctly, it should be Elizabeth Olsen, whom I met at London Fashion Week before.

I don't know why she came here without notifying me at all. "

Gu Wei shrugged, with an expression on his face that said he didn't know anything.

"Olson?

She must be the actress who played Wanda the Scarlet Witch in "Avengers 2" which was released some time ago! "

Liu Yifei muttered the name and quickly thought of who it was.

With the popularity of Marvel movies around the world, actors playing roles such as Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, and Thor have also become popular around the world.

As the Scarlet Witch is a popular new character in Avengers 2, Olsen’s popularity is definitely not low now.

Gu Wei nodded.

"Haha~ I didn't expect Director Gu to have an interaction with such a popular Hollywood flower. Sure enough, he is so handsome that beauties will like him~"

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a half-smile, and said something sinister.

"Just ordinary friends~"

Gu Wei didn't care and simply said something.

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl from far away, wearing a black slim-fitting short skirt, a pair of high heels, and her blond hair shawl, walked over with sexy steps and a smile on her face.

As soon as he arrived in front of Gu Wei, he opened his arms and gave him a warm hug.

Liu Yifei, who was watching from the side, curled her lips.

"Gu, it is indeed you.

I never thought we would meet again in New York.

I've been away from London for more than two months, have you missed me? "

Aomei made no secret of her joy at seeing Gu Wei again.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at his extremely handsome face, and the moments when Gu Wei gave her a wonderful experience flashed through her mind.

"Ahem~Elizabeth, why are you in New York?

And you happen to come to visit my crew? "

After taking a look at Liu Yifei's inquiring face next to him, Gu Wei changed the subject.

"I have an agent who came over to shoot. I just passed by and saw your massive road closure for filming, so I asked my assistant to ask the surrounding staff.

When I learned that the director of the film crew was named Gu Wei and he was Chinese, I guessed that it might be you.

Now it seems my guess was accurate.

The world is so big, maybe God allows us to meet here again by chance~"

Aomei pursed her lips and smiled, staring at Gu Wei with a pair of charming eyes.

"Well, I'm glad to meet you again in a foreign country."

Gu Wei replied with a smile.

"Ahem~"

Liu Yifei coughed twice, attracting Aomei's attention.

"Is this your girlfriend, Gu?"

Olson turned to look at Liu Yifei and asked with some confusion.

"No, let me introduce you. This is Liu Yifei, the heroine in my movie, and she is also a very good friend of mine."

Gu Wei said.

Liu Yifei also smiled and shook hands with Aomei.

"Hello~"

"Hello, you are really beautiful. No wonder you can be the heroine in a movie."

Aomei looked at Liu Yifei and said.

"Thanks!

You are also very beautiful, and I really like your role as Wanda in [Avengers 2]. "

Liu Yifei responded politely.

Gu Wei lowered his hand and looked at his watch.

"Sorry, Elizabeth, you know, I am a director now.

My crew still needs me to work, and you know the cost of shooting in New York. I am very busy with shooting tasks right now, and I may not have time to accompany you to renew our relationship. "

Gu Wei said with some regret.

"Of course I know, and I understand, the talented Eastern Prince.

I just came here to make sure it was you who was filming here, and now I know.

I've finished my work here in New York, and I'm going back to Los Angeles tomorrow.

Can I invite you to dinner tonight? "

Olsen looked at Gu Wei with naked desire in his eyes.

Gu Wei thought about today's shooting plan. There were no night scenes, but there would be plenty of time at night.

"No problem, I'll contact you after I finish shooting."

"I'm waiting for your call~"

After receiving Gu Wei's affirmative answer, the smile on Aomei's face became even brighter.

She took a step forward and raised her hand to straighten the collar of Detective Gu Wei's windbreaker.

"Your outfit looks like a student who has not yet graduated, but there is no doubt that you are still very handsome!"

Then he glanced at Liu Yifei beside him and whispered.

"It seems that there are always beautiful women around you~"

After speaking, he smiled and turned to leave.

"Tsk, tsk, you, an ordinary friend, are really enthusiastic!"

Liu Yifei said while looking at Olson's charming back.

"No way, this may be a cultural difference. Westerners are more open-minded by nature, so it's okay to be more enthusiastic when meeting in a different place!"

Gu Wei said nonsense.

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Yifei to refute, he walked aside and started directing the staff to work.

Let’s talk about things in the evening. Nothing else is as important as work now.

"Thankfully, I was so moved two days ago that I beautified you a lot in my heart, you scumbag!"

Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei's figure and whispered angrily.

"Sister Yifei, did anyone come to see the director just now?

I heard someone talking about how many foreign fans were surrounding the crew. "

There was no scene for Nazha's scene this morning. Like Liu Yifei, she would only appear in the next scene.

It's just that Liu Yifei came to the crew early, she just arrived.

There was no other way. Usually when there was nothing to do in the morning the next day, she would ask for exercise in the evening.

She went out for a shopping spree two days ago, which made her very excited. She had been completely obedient to Gu Wei for the past two nights.

If you sweat a lot at night, you won't be able to get up early during the day.

Liu Yifei glanced at her.

"Just now a Hollywood female star came to see Gu Wei.

It's his friend. "

"Oh, that's how it is."

Naza nodded.

"Elizabeth Olsen, Hollywood's new starlet, plays the Scarlet Witch."

Liu Yifei saw no reaction from her and continued.

"So awesome, the director even knows such an international star!"

Of course Naza knew who Olson was, she exclaimed.

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Liu Yifei looked at Naza suspiciously.

"What am I worried about? Sister Yifei, don't be joking.

I have nothing to do with the director! "

Naza said with an innocent look.

"You are not his"

Liu Yifei wanted to say something, but looked at Naza's blank expression and felt a little discouraged.

"Forget it, I'm the one minding my own business. Be prepared. There will be a scene between us later."

It is not a secret that Nazha is Gu Wei's ex-girlfriend. Many people in the Beiying circle know it, including Liu Yifei.

As for the current relationship between the two, she could feel it from some clues after filming together for so many days.

It's just that she and Gu Wei have always been good friends. Gu Wei has never shown any out-of-bounds feelings towards her. Naturally, the other person's personal emotions have nothing to do with her.

However, due to being attracted by Gu Wei's excellent conditions in all aspects and the influence of his mother at home, Liu Yifei had a slight affection for Gu Wei in her heart.

This good feeling reached its peak that night when Gu Wei took her to watch the stars for a walk, and turned into a heartbeat.

It's just that within a few days, after she once again saw the true nature of Gu Wei's scumbag, her little heartbeat was overwhelmed by her heart.

"Foreigners don't matter, you, the real Bai Yueguang, is what I'm worried about."

After Liu Yifei left, Nazha, who had been a little dull just now, regained her vitality, looked at her back and murmured.

A fantasy masterpiece not to be missed!
