During the filming of "Infernal Affairs", a martial arts action film was shown in the cinema.
It is the work of a second-rate entertainment company. Before its release, the promotional slogan was extremely loud, hoping to surpass "Kung Fu" and break the domestic box office record.
But the thunder is loud and the rain is small.
With the help of "Kung Fu" as a martial arts action film and the support from relevant policies of the General Administration of Culture, the box office on the first day after its release was pretty good.
However, the online reviews of the movie were completely negative, with all kinds of criticism and box office results plummeting the next day.
Gradually no one cared.
Tan Yue didn't know what was happening in the outside world. All his energy was now focused on the filming of "Infernal Affairs" and he had no time to do anything else.
During the day, I was in charge of filming on the set, and when I returned to the hotel at night, I had to review the filmed content.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
...
...
Saturday, afternoon.
Xiangjiang Film and Television Base.
The crew of "Infernal Affairs".
Chen Yongren, played by Ma Guoliang, lay on a chair with his eyes closed to relax.
All the scenes filmed today were about Chen Yongren's psychological treatment with Li Xin'er. In fact, it was about Chen Yongren finding a solid place to sleep.
After Chen Yongren discovered Liu Jianming's true identity, the only person he could trust was Li Xin'er.
"I said you were a policeman last time? Is that true?"
"It was originally, but I don't know if it is now."
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know, I'm just thinking about it."
Chen Yongren slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the recliner: "There is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I have always felt embarrassed."
"It's true that I've been dreaming about you all day long."
Looking into each other's eyes, Li Xin'er also expressed her true feelings: "Me too."
Li Xin'er held Chen Yongren's hand, and the two hugged each other tightly.
"Stuck." Ma Guoliang separated from the actress.
Tan Yue looked carefully at the footage he had just filmed.
Four shots of this clip have been taken, and Ma Guoliang feels that there should be no problem this time.
After a while, Tan Yue turned around and said, "It's over."
The actress breathed a sigh of relief. These things were all caused by her own mistakes, and she felt very guilty.
Tan Yue glanced at the time, took the loudspeaker and said:
"That's it for today's shooting. We have a day off tomorrow. Let's have a good rest! The night view of Xiangjiang is very nice. You can go and take a look."
The set instantly burst into cheers. After the movie started, the crew never took a break, and everyone was a little tired mentally.
"Great. I've heard that the night view here is beautiful. Let's go and see it tonight."
"let's go together!"
Tan Yue added: "Pay attention to safety."
The set began to pack up the props, and they made appointments in twos and threes to enjoy the night view.
After Tan Yue returned to the hotel, he simply washed up and lay down on the hotel sofa wearing shorts and short sleeves to rest. During this time, he was more tired than anyone on the crew.
"Tzuyu should have already eaten by this time." Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called Chen Ziyu.
The phone rang for two seconds and Chen Ziyu's voice was heard: "Why did the filming end so early today?"
Tan Yue usually calls Chen Ziyu after finishing his work. ….
"We have been filming for a month, and everyone is a little tired from work. I gave them a day off to have a good rest."
"How was the filming?"
"It's going well, everything is going according to the original shooting plan. Is there a lot going on in the company recently?"
Chen Ziyu was lying on the sofa with the mask on: "Same as usual."
"Thanks a lot."
Chen Ziyu handles so many documents every day, Tan Yue
I couldn't help but feel distressed.
"I just sit at my desk for a little longer every day, but you..."
After filming, Tan Yue would call Chen Ziyu from time to time, but he still had work to deal with, so he would hang up the phone after just a few words.
Today, during the break, the two chatted on the phone for nearly an hour. They had not seen each other for more than a month, and they were missing each other in their hearts.
Tan Yue put down the phone, picked up the cup at hand, took a sip, and lay back on the sofa to take a nap before checking the clips shot today.
Soon my eyelids felt a little heavy.
Tan Yue sat up from the sofa, turned on the computer and started working.
'Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong. ,
Hearing someone ringing the doorbell, Tan Yue walked to the door and faintly heard Ma Guoliang's voice.
Tan Yue opened the door and was startled when he saw the people outside.
Besides Ma Guoliang, there was another person standing at the door - Zhou Can.
"Achan, why are you here?"
"Mr. Tan!" Zhou Can explained with a smile: "I'll take advantage of the two days of rest and come over to visit you."
Ma Guoliang on the side said directly: "He came to visit Xiangjiang."
The three people looked at each other and smiled.
With Zhou Can's current reputation, he will definitely be approached for scripts.
However, Zhou Can's acting style has become his own. None of the scripts he received were nonsensical, so naturally he wouldn't accept them.
Without Tan Yue's new script, Zhou Can spent most of his time improving his acting skills and nothing else.
After staying in the company for a long time, Zhou Can wanted to go out and relax. Thinking that Ma Guoliang was filming a movie in Hong Kong, he flew over directly after get off work.
The three people came to Tan Yue's room, and Ma Guoliang was pouring water.
Tan Yue asked: "Have you decided where to go?"
"Some time ago, I saw the night view of Hong Kong taken by Ma Ge on WeChat Moments. It was so beautiful. I wanted to go there and have a look."
Speaking of the night view of Xiangjiang, Ma Guoliang praised it directly, completely different from his usual taciturn demeanor.
After chatting for a while while sipping tea, Tan Yue looked at the time and said: "Last time, I was pressed for time and I didn't have time to appreciate it slowly. Let's take Wenhua with us."
"That's great." Zhou Can said happily. It was also his first time to come to Xiangjiang and he was not familiar with the place. It would be nice to have someone to accompany him.
Ma Guoliang nodded in agreement.
Tan Yue stretched out and said, "I have a day off tomorrow. After we come back from watching the night view, the four of us will have a drink."
In more than a month since filming, Ma Guoliang has not touched any alcohol. When he heard Tan Yue talk about drinking, he wanted to skip the night view scene.
Zhou Can is Ma Guoliang's drinking buddy. Although he is not a heavy drinker, he is particularly energetic when he hears drinking.
"Go back and get ready. We'll leave immediately. You can tell Wenhua." Tan Yue stood up and prepared to change his clothes. ….
Ma Guoliang and Zhou Can left Tan Yue's room and went directly to Zhang Wenhua's room, where they explained what the three of them had just discussed.
Zhang Wenhua smiled and agreed. He had planned to take a rest tomorrow and stay in the hotel to study the script, but now his schedule has changed.
Half an hour later, Tan Yue and four others left the hotel in a commercial vehicle.
Last time they saw Victoria Harbor directly from Victoria Peak, this time they came directly here.
There were a lot of people at the port. Four people wearing masks carefully admired the scenery on the shore and took photos from time to time.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the four of them returned to the hotel and went directly to the small private room of the hotel restaurant.
On the way back, Tan Yue had arranged for his accompanying assistant to have the hotel prepare meals.
As soon as we sat down, the hotel waiter came in with dishes: "Mr. Tan, this is the dinner you ordered."
"thank you all."
Soon the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, including some of Xiangjiang’s specialties.
Tan Yue, Zhang Wen
Hua and Ma Guoliang had already tasted it, mainly ordering it specially for Zhou Can, who was visiting Xiangjiang for the first time.
"You're welcome, let's eat something first." Tan Yue hasn't eaten anything since the end of work, and his hunger is even stronger when he sees so many delicious foods in front of him.
The other three people were in a similar situation, almost all of them had nothing to eat.
Zhou Can watched Ma Guoliang and Zhang Wenhua enjoying the delicious food and no longer restrained himself.
After filling his stomach, Tan Yue raised his glass: "I haven't had a drink for a long time, let's drink together."
Since Tan Yue had a few drinks at the celebration banquet of "Kung Fu", he has never drank again.
Ma Guoliang and the other three raised their glasses.
"cheers!"
Drink it all in one gulp!
This was not the first time that the four of them had dinner together. After three drinks, Ma Guoliang, who usually likes to be taciturn, also started to talk.
"I think Wenhua's progress during this period has been too obvious!" Ma Guoliang said with emotion.
Tan Yue nodded and said, "Teacher Ma is right, Wenhua's acting skills have improved a lot."
There were many scenes, and Zhang Wenhua basically did them all over again to meet Tan Yue's requirements.
Zhang Wenhua raised his cup and said, "I would also like to thank Mr. Tan and Teacher Ma for their teachings, which allowed me to learn many things that I couldn't learn from acting teachers."
The four of them were drinking and chatting, and before they knew it, it was already past one in the morning.
At the end, Zhang Wenhua and Zhou Can were helped back to the room.
Although Tan Yue seldom drinks alcohol now, he and Xu Nuo have developed a drinking capacity in the past, which can be said to be unmatched by ordinary people.
...
The next day.
It's about eight o'clock.
Tan Yue was woken up by his biological clock and lay on the bed for a while. After washing, he sat in front of the computer and checked yesterday's footage.
According to Chen Ziyu, compared to Ma Guoliang and the other three, Tan Yue drank less.
A drinker like Ma Guoliang still retained the last trace of sobriety in the end, not to mention Zhou Can and Zhang Wenhua.
Zhou Can usually likes to drink, but his alcohol capacity is relatively small.
Zhang Wenhua rarely drinks alcohol and is the first to fall down.
Now the three of them were still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, and they didn't wake up until noon.
Among them, Zhang Wenhua was in the most serious condition. After waking up, he felt that his whole body was in a state of trance, and he still had a turbulent feeling in his stomach. ….
After Zhou Can sobered up, he had lunch with Ma Guoliang and immediately boarded the plane back to the capital. It would be several months before we met again.
...
...
on Monday.
"Infernal Affairs" continues filming.
On the set, Tan Yue yelled 'stuck' more often than before.
"Ka, take a rest." Tan Yue shouted with a loudspeaker.
Zhang Wenhua bowed and apologized to the staff on the set. He felt very guilty because of his poor condition.
The aftereffects of Saturday night's drinking are still affecting Zhang Wenhua.
I haven't had much alcohol in my life. After drinking so much at once, my body is still a little uncomfortable.
Tan Yue saw the reason and came over to comfort him: "Wen Hua, drink some water, take a rest, and get back to the state of last week's acting."
Zhang Wenhua nodded and said nothing. He had no excuse for his poor condition. He lowered his head and sat next to the set, adjusting himself.
Acting is not something to be rushed. Tan Yue decided to shoot other plots first and wait for Zhang Wenhua to find his condition before shooting this segment.
...
...
Three months later, mid-November.
Xiangjiang Film and Television Base.
The filming of "Infernal Affairs" is in its later stages.
The studio is an underground parking lot rented by the crew.
Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren cooperated to arrest Han Chen.
The assistant director gave Tan Yue an 'ok' gesture, indicating that preparations were complete.
Tan Yue said loudly: "Everyone must pay attention to safety and all departments are prepared."
After the scene notes were recorded, filming began.
After the transaction was completed, Han Chen was about to leave. The year before last, several police cars suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
The car made a 180-degree turn and was about to drive back when there was a police car behind it.
Along with the sound of sirens, the underground parking lot was filled with the sound of 'stop, don't move.'
"Stuck." Tan Yue said nothing, focusing entirely on the monitor in front of him.
Han Chen also had a camera in his car, just to capture his nervousness.
After confirming that there was no problem, the next step was a dangerous scene, where the car hit the wall without choosing the right path.
Although it could be processed through the lens and there were safety measures, Tan Yue went over to confirm that there were no problems before continuing to shoot.
