Chapter 273
Ip Man.
This series of films.
It should be considered a truly nationwide classic work of Ceng Zidan.
Back then, a film Ip Man was released, igniting how many people's patriotic hearts!
That line "I will fight ten".
Now it's even blazing overseas!
Ip Man 1 is especially popular on YouTube.
Many foreigners have seen it.
Wan Zai, Xiangjiang Convention and Exhibition Center.
The recent filming location of Ip Man 4 is here.
As for this place, Brother Cheng Long is also very familiar with it!
In New Police Story, the rooftop scene with Gu Zu was filmed here.
On Douyin it's also quite popular, and there are even memes still spreading.
"Ah Zu, stop, outside are all Cheng Long"
Arrived at the Ip Man 4 crew.
The staff outside respectfully shouted: "Big Brother!"
Relying on Long Shu's face, one can say he can walk around Xiangjiang freely!
Just came in.
Then saw Ye Weixin and Ceng Zidan discussing the filming of the script.
And the cast and crew.
They saw Brother Cheng Long coming.
One by one, they all shouted "Big Brother".
As for Lin Mo.
Many people also recognized him.
"This seems to be Director Lin!"
"Wow, Director Lin is really young!"
"Really handsome!"
"Just recently I went with friends to watch British Showdown!"
"Ah, is that Director Lin Mo?"
"......"
The actors were whispering and discussing.
Although, Lin Mo's fame is now great.
But.
After all, he's only been in the industry a few years, and he's also a director.
So walking down the street, it's not that everyone knows him.
Here.
"Director Ye!"
"Brother Dan!"
Lin Mo smiled and greeted the two.
We had seen each other at last night's dinner.
And today coming here is also because Ceng Zidan said his Ip Man 4 is about to wrap, asking him to come to the crew to help oversee things.
So, Lin Mo came.
"Brother Dan, your drama is filming quite fast, I remember it's only been a few months, it's almost wrapping up!" Cheng Long Ge glanced at the crew and asked casually.
Isn't that right?
During the Spring Festival slot, the film Chasing Dragon co-starring Ceng Zidan and Hua Ge was just released.
Now the second film Ip Man 4 is also about to wrap.
It must be said.
These veteran actors really are quite hardworking.
If it were Lin Mo's fans here.
They'd probably all question him.
Look at others, then look at yourself.
One movie a year, and you still have the nerve...
Cough cough..
"Big Brother, we've been filming this for almost 4 months, actually that's considered slow, you haven't seen Dan Zai and Hua Ge's Chasing Dragon, they finished it in two months!" Ye Weixin smiled and replied.
Ye Weixin, many people might not be familiar with his name.
But his works are well known.
Mong Kok Storm, Kill Break Wolf, Dragon Tiger Gate, Fuse, Ip Man...
Wang Jing.
Normal.
This guy is a well-known quick shooter in the director circle.
Here it means filming movies is comparatively fast.
Don't think the wrong way.
"You guys discuss the script first; later let Director Lin also see what's different about filming here in Xiang Jiang versus the mainland. I'll first take him around!" Then Cheng Long patted Ye Weixin on the shoulder.
Ye Weixin and Ceng Zidan nodded.
Afterwards, Cheng Long brought Lin Mo up to the rooftop.
Mainly Lin Mo wanted to go see the original filming location of New Police Story, also to check it off.
Arrived at the rooftop.
Looking down from above, Lin Mo discovered that it was completely different from what he saw in the movie, and it didn't feel very high.
"Long Shu, how tall is this building?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"Not tall, just fifteen meters!" Cheng Long replied.
15 meters?
Indeed not tall.
After all, nowadays buildings are often tens of meters, even hundreds of meters.
Next.
Cheng Long continued to tell Lin Mo about what happened here when they were filming New Police Story back then.
"Back then, Feng Zai filming the scene where he slid down from here almost had an accident. That kid was really determined, refusing to use a stunt double and insisting on doing it himself!" Cheng Long's elder brother pointed downwards and said.
Hearing this, Lin Mo also roughly knew which shot Cheng Long was referring to.
In New Police Story, the shot where Xie Tingfeng's Zheng Xiaofeng is strangled by a rope and rolls his eyes.
When that scene was shown, many people thought Xie Tingfeng's acting was off the charts.
As it turned out……
It turned out to be a real experience!
No wonder it felt so real!
Then Cheng Long's elder brother laughed and said: "That's how it started; from that film onward, these insurance companies in Xiang Jiang blacklisted Feng Zai, just like me!"
"I've heard of that." Lin Mo also laughed and replied.
Immediately, Cheng Long's elder brother shook his head: "Ah, since Feng Zai's generation, the young actors in Xiang Jiang have been getting worse and worse!"
"Mainly because life nowadays is getting better, everyone's drive has faded. After all, safety first!" Lin Mo nodded and said.
That's the reasoning, though.
But.
Cheng Long's elder brother still hopes Huaguo will produce an actor who dares to strive and fight.
They chatted on the rooftop for a while.
Not long after, Ye Weixin's assistant came up to inform them.
The next scene was about to start shooting.
Cheng Long laughed and patted Lin Mo's shoulder: "Let's go, let's see how the directors in Xiang Jiang film."
En!
They arrived downstairs.
Ye Weixin briefly told the two of them what scene would be shot next.
Then.
At his call of 'action'.
The film officially began shooting.
Lin Mo and Cheng Long stood behind Ye Weixin.
Actually.
Filming here in Xiang Jiang is basically no different from the mainland.
Even...
Lin Mo even felt their filming was a bit behind the mainland.
But, this definitely can't be said in front of people.
All we can say is, it's just so-so.
On the other hand, Ye Weixin's directing skills are quite high.
As expected of a great director.
He indeed has something.
After a scene was finished, Ye Weixin and Lin Mo began discussing filming methods, techniques, and so on.
The two also had a simple exchange.
Meanwhile, online.
Photos of Lin Mo appearing on the Ip Man 4 set also spread online.
They immediately sparked discussion among netizens.
"Huh, which set is this?"
"Is it Ip Man 4? I think I saw Ceng Zidan!"
"By the way, Director Lin didn't have any plans to film a movie before the Spring Festival slot, did he?"
"He only makes one film a year, feels too little!"
"Buddy, be content; with Director Lin's current wealth, being able to make a film each year for us is already good—if it were me, I'd have already retired to enjoy life!"
"That's true; although Director Lin makes only one film a year, the quality is guaranteed!"
