All domestic scenes were filmed, and on March 1st, the entire crew flew to Bangkok, Thailand, on a chartered flight.

The filming location in Thailand was Bangkok's Chinatown, which is the largest Chinese gathering place in Southeast Asia.

The location of the movie has been selected for a long time, and the local government and Chinatown official agencies have shown great enthusiasm for the arrival of the "Detective Chinatown" crew.

Last year, the domestic movie "Thailand" became a hit, which directly promoted the development of the entire Thai tourism industry.

The Prime Minister of Thailand met with Xu Zheng and the crew of "囧囧" at the Prime Minister's Office. He thanked "囧" for promoting Thailand's tourism and expressed that he welcomed more domestic directors to film in Thailand.

Statistics show that after the release of "囧囧", more than 2.5 million domestic tourists visited Thailand during the Spring Festival, an increase of three times compared with the same period last year.

The publicity effect of a successful movie is terrifying.

Now that the popularity of "囧囧" has not passed, local official agencies have given great convenience to the film crew.

No matter what they do, as long as the crew puts it forward, they will find a way to cooperate.

This brings great convenience to film shooting.

After the plane landed, the crew checked into the hotel. Everyone took a day off to get familiar with the environment and climate. The filming in Thailand will officially start tomorrow.

It’s not that the crew doesn’t want everyone to have more rest and shoot the movie in a different place. The entire crew has a large team of hundreds of people, and the funds are burning like crazy every day, so the filming can’t be delayed.

The entire filming of the movie "Detective Chinatown" was actually shot in several fixed locations in Bangkok's Chinatown, plus some road chase scenes.

Script readings have been carried out in China, and each actor has a certain understanding of the role he needs to play.

To be honest, although the movie "Detective Chinatown" is a logical comedy detective movie, it is still a comedy in the final analysis.

The characters of the main characters are very fixed, and as long as they are acted according to the character's style, they won't be too bad.

To put it simply, the whole movie is about the talented stuttering boy "Qin Feng" who failed the police academy and was sent to Thailand by his grandma to find a distant cousin - who is known as "Chinatown's number one detective" but is actually a "wretched" uncle "Tang Ren" to relax. .

After a night of debauchery, Tang Ren became a suspect in a bizarre murder and had to go on the run with Qin Feng. They had to find the "lost gold" in just seven days while avoiding police pursuits, gang pursuits, and gang sieges. ", find out the "real culprit", and "clear their names" themselves.

The story is very simple, but it needs to be funny and logical.

The first scene of the movie's shooting was still the scene of our protagonist Tang Ren.

Qin Feng flew to Bangkok, but Tang Ren, who had agreed to pick him up, was still late. At this time, Tang Ren was playing mahjong.

The crew filmed the first scene of Tang Ren playing mahjong.

The camera showed Bao Qiang's face. At this time, he played Tang Ren, who was wearing a blue plaid casual suit. He had a big gold watch and circles of beads on his wrist. He also had a necklace of Buddhist beads around his neck, and he was holding it in his mouth. Smoking a cigarette and having curly hair.

He was very happy to have just won a poker game and stretched out his hand to collect the money one by one.

While he was counting the cards, the phone rang, and he picked it up and took a look.

At this time, the May friends on both sides spoke, and a middle-aged aunt on one side asked, "Is something wrong?"

On the other side, a middle-aged male voice said, "Don't run away if you win!"

After hearing this, Tang Ren slammed his phone on the table and said, "Run?"

"I have a blue dragon drinking water on my left, a white tiger flicking its tail on my right, sand hidden in my pocket, wealth at home, a tree behind me, and the God of Wealth visiting me.

I will kill you all without leaving a trace. "

After speaking, he took a puff of cigarette and continued fighting.

"Card!"

Bao Qiang's performance was very good, but Gu Wei was still a little dissatisfied. He always felt that there was something lacking here.

Look at the scene just now, and look at Bao Qiang’s attire on set.

"Baoqiang, when you spoke just now, your movements and tone can be more exaggerated, and the last line should be changed to 'I will kill you all, leaving no trace of you naked~'"

Gu Wei stepped forward, looked at it and said to Baoqiang.

Then he pointed to the aunt on the left side of the mahjong table

"After Baoqiang said "naked," you covered your mouth and took a breath of cold air. Then Baoqiang looked at her and said, "Forget it."

"Understood, director." Baoqiang thought for a while and replied.

According to Gu Wei's request, the scene was repeated again. This time Gu Wei felt much better, and Bao Qiang fully understood what Gu Wei meant. After the filming is completed, the old rules will be followed again.

After filming the first scene of protecting one's strength, the crew came to the first scene that appeared in the movie - Sompa's workshop.

Filming a scene where two major supporting actors, Landeng Huang and Kun Tai, appear.

Chen He and Xiao Shang both changed their clothes and put on makeup, and with the extras behind them, they were ready to start shooting.

Gu Wei walked over and took a look at their outfits.

"Make up~" called the make-up artist over.

"Make Xiao Shan's hair and face more shiny.

And the vest he wore underneath, cut off the lower part to expose his belly. "

The makeup artist hurriedly followed the guard's request and made up Xiao Pai again.

Xiao Pan looked at himself and said to Gu Wei with a wry smile, "Director, this costume is too greasy."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "It's good to be greasy. The characteristic of your character is greasy. The greasier you are, the more successful you will be."

At this time, Chen He came up from the side and said, "Director, please teach me. What do you think are the characteristics of my character, Langdon Huang?"

Gu Wei thought for a moment and said, "What a shame, and then you are very unlucky."

"Then how should I show his meanness, director?" Chen He asked.

"Just keep it in and act." After Gu Wei finished speaking, Chen He was speechless.

After giving instructions on how to modify Xiao Pan's makeup, the filming of the scene started.

In Songpa's workshop, Chen He and Xiao Pan led a team of police officers respectively. When they met together, the back-and-forth dialogue between the two people also revealed the relationship between Huang Langdeng and Kuntai, as well as the relationship between the police officers. The position of the team is clearly explained.

Because there was no role for Gu Wei, he sat behind the camera without makeup and watched the performances of Chen He and Xiao Pan.

Maybe because this was their first performance in the play, neither of them was in the condition that Gu Wei wanted.

Gu Wei is not in a hurry. The crew needs to get used to it, and the actors also need to get used to it. Take your time and wait until everyone is in the zone, then the filming of the movie will go quickly.

Just repeating this scene over and over again, after going through it a few times, it was obvious that Chen He and Xiao Pan were a little restless.

"Card!"

"Stop it first, let the actors take a rest."

Gu Wei called Chen He and Xiao Pan, "Don't worry, you two. Let's shoot a few more times. Take your time and find the character's state. Once this state is found, future shots will be easier to shoot."

Gu Wei comforted them both.

After seeing NG so many times, the director not only didn't get angry, but also comforted them both. The mood of the two people also recovered.

After a while, the shooting continued.

The two of them still couldn't get through, but NG wasn't worried at all. Over and over again, everyone's shooting status got better and better.

"Stuck! Passed."

The two words "passed" seemed to be the sound of nature to everyone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zeng Li didn't have any scenes, she was also present with the team.

‘The director’s requirements for the play are really strict. ’ Zeng Li thought when he saw today’s shooting.
