Chapter 27

The actors about to appear on camera were also nervously memorizing lines

or slowly exploring their sense of position in the lens.

Only Su Chen was spinning around idly.

After the Perfect Best Actor skill was upgraded to advanced,

Su Chen had super strong line memory,

having long since memorized the lines of the entire script.

Before the day's scenes started filming,

Su Chen only needed to review them twice,

and the lines for these scenes could be remembered fluently.

This is just the basic quality of a good actor.

Those traffic-driven little fresh meats and digital ladies,

let alone memorizing lines in advance,

they haven't even read the script,

chattering numbers on the set,

just letting the post-production dub it.

And the weirdo like baby is even more terrifying,

not even coming to the set, and using cutouts for the whole process!

This money is earned comfortably.

At this time, Xin Xin Zhilei came over.

She cast a flirtatious glance at Su Chen.

"Filming is about to start, Director Wang's play has huge pressure!"

"Are you nervous?"

After asking this, she suddenly lowered her voice.

"If you're nervous... come find me to chat about the script at night?"

"I'll help you make up your homework and relax."

Su Chen is familiar with this "make up homework"!

It's in many movie plots,

but it's not very serious.

Su Chen tidied up his suit.

"It's just acting, not twisting a Yangge dance, no need to be nervous."

Xin Xin Zhilei looked at him with a strange gaze.

"Is this considered having a well-thought-out plan, or just breaking the jar because it's already broken?"

"Don't forget, you are the man who conquered Director Wang with acting skills."

"I'm still waiting to appreciate your heaven-defying performance!"

Su Chen chuckled: "I'll perform an up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right for you, is that okay?"

"Go to hell!"

"Scene 5, Take 1, Action!"

With the clapperboard hitting,

*Blossoms Shanghai* officially started filming.

The filming of a movie

is not done in the order of the script from beginning to end.

Many factors such as venue, weather, and actor schedules must be considered.

It's convenient to film whichever scene first.

Therefore, every scene will be marked,

and spliced during post-production after filming is finished.

As a director of art films,

Wong Kar-wai's level in lens, light, shadow, and color tone is top-notch.

At the same time, infatuated men and resentful women are the eternal themes of Wong Kar-wai's works.

*Blossoms Shanghai* mainly tells the story of business wars in the 90s,

but the core is still the entanglement between Bao Zong and several women.

Inside the restaurant private room,

Bao Zong, played by Su Chen,

is having a face-to-face talk with Li Li, the female boss played by Xin Xin Zhilei.

Su Chen poured a glass of red wine gracefully,

slowly raised the glass, and smiled.

He had the style of a successful man.

Just a simple set of actions and expressions

clearly displayed Bao Zong's maturity, stability, humor, and kindness.

After the Best Actor skill was upgraded to full level,

Su Chen could enter the role in one second,

and could also exit the role in one second after the director shouted cut, returning to reality.

There was no sloppiness,

and there were basically no errors such as laughing on set, forgetting lines, or not finding the lens.

Xin Xin Zhilei was dressed very enchantingly and fashionably.

Her face was very imposing,

and it was a standard high-level face suitable for movies.

Playing that kind of female boss or big sister was very stylish,

not a bit worse than Gao Xiaoye in *The Knockout*.

Su Chen waited for her to say her lines,

but what he got was Xin Xin Zhilei breaking her character in one second and laughing out loud.

Actors laughing on set is too common.

It is said that during the Earth Spirit Bead segment of *Chinese Paladin 3*,

the leads laughed for a whole day until they were numb.

Actors playing opposite each other are too unfamiliar and don't click,

which greatly affects the filming effect.

But if they are too familiar, it is easy to laugh frequently.

Xin Xin Zhilei is Su Chen's newly made girlfriend.

Su Chen's acting is of course no problem,

but when Xin Xin Zhilei looks at him,

her mind is full of the images from that night.

How could she not break character?

After laughing on set five or six times,

Xin Xin Zhilei finally stabilized her emotions and slowly entered the state.

She raised her head proudly and spoke lightly with a domineering air.

"Bao Zong doesn't like eating catfish?"

"Then Bao Zong can't go to Shenzhen."

Bao Zong drank the red wine in one gulp,

frowned slightly, and smiled: "I haven't heard that people in Shenzhen love eating catfish either."

Li Li said in a low voice: "Foreigners like to add a catfish when raising salmon, do you know why?"

"Because catfish are aggressive, and salmon have to swim desperately to avoid them, which is why they get fat."

Bao Zong toasted her again.

"So, Miss Li Li is the catfish on Huanghe Road?"

Li Li said ambitiously: "If my goal was just to open a restaurant and be famous on the Shanghai Bund, there would be no need to disturb Bao Zong."

As soon as this was said, the atmosphere instantly solidified.

"So your goal isn't to open a restaurant?"

Li Li snorted coldly: "Bao Zong isn't just doing foreign trade either."

"Who among the old guests on Huanghe Road doesn't know your record from two years ago?"

Bao Zong lowered his head and said: "Others only look at the results, only I learn the lessons."

Li Li took the initiative to raise her glass.

"Therefore, the capital market is the real battlefield!"

This time Bao Zong didn't clink glasses with her,

just eating his food by himself.

"The stock market has risks, Miss Li Li..."

This was to persuade her not to easily get involved in the stock market.

This is heaven, but also purgatory!

"Is Bao Zong worried that I will become the second Golden Phoenix?"

Bao Zong put down his chopsticks, looked straight at her, and replied coldly.

"I don't know Golden Phoenix."

This dialogue escalated the tense atmosphere again.

Their eyes met, and their gazes clashed invisibly!

Both couldn't help but think of the previous festival.

From Bao Zong's kind face,

Li Li also read sharpness, decisiveness, and dominance.

She had no choice but to lower her head.

"We're even, I still owe you 300,000."

Following that was the scene of Bao Zong sending Li Li home.

This lens, lasting more than ten seconds,

fully demonstrated Wong Kar-wai's top-tier camera movement.

The lens moved from the road, high heels, and Li Li's back,

to a close-up of Bao Zong's tall figure and handsome facial features,

as well as the neon lights occasionally blending into the street,

creating a very stylish atmosphere.

This was just preliminary filming.

By the time it reached post-production,

blending various lights, shadows, and color tones,

the filter sense of the era would be even stronger.

"Good! Cut! Very well done."

After shouting stop, Wong Kar-wai watched it several times repeatedly,

confirming that there were no problems with these two long shots,

and prepared to enter the next take.

Wong Kar-wai strives for perfection in movies,

often filming a shot a hundred or eighty times,

sometimes even for a shot of a few seconds,

the whole crew would not hesitate to travel thousands of miles,

tossing for several months, and burning money crazily.

In TV series, Wong Kar-wai would definitely lower the standard slightly,

otherwise, even if this play had an investment of 500 million,

I'm afraid it would be used up before half of it was filmed.

But even if the standard is lowered,

it only dropped from the height of 8848 meters of Mount Everest to 6000.

The requirements were still very harsh.

It's hard to believe that these two long shots could be done in one take and passed perfectly,

which is not Wong Kar-wai's style.

It was mainly because Su Chen's acting was too perfect,

and even if you picked bones in an egg, you couldn't find any flaws.

Xin Xin Zhilei, as a powerful actress,

had sufficient preparation.

After laughing on set several times,

she also quickly integrated into the role.

Driven by Su Chen, the two cooperated tacitly, and the filming efficiency was extremely high.

For a time,

Wong Kar-wai seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

So plays can be filmed like this?

Instead of spending months cutting out a shot of a few seconds!

He experienced the happiness of the Old Master filming the big rotten movie *Full River Red*.

Wong Kar-wai was instantly like he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Quickly start the next take..."
