In "My Sassy Girl," the subway station is a very important scene, and many scenes take place here.

The Magic City subway station had naturally been communicated with long ago. Wu Yuchen himself has a great reputation, and with the help of the local snake Shanghai Film Group to contact, a carriage was specially approved for the crew to film.

Learning that Wu Yuchen was filming "My Sassy Girl" on the subway, many people gathered around. Wu Yuchen just happened to pick some people from these enthusiastic passengers to come over and act as background boards for subway passengers.

The first thing filmed was the scene where the male and female leads met by chance on the subway at the beginning, and after the female lead helped the old man ask for a seat, she vomited all over the old man's head.

The crew occupied a carriage at the end of the subway. The photographer and staff went to find an angle to set up the camera position, while Wu Yuchen was communicating with the actor playing the old man in front of him.

"Teacher Guo Da, please bear with me later. This thing might look a bit disgusting, but it's all fresh porridge and some food mixed together, absolutely no strange taste!"

That's right, the person playing the old man is the famous comedy actor Guo Da. Although Guo Da's impression is that of a sketch actor, in reality, he is a proper graduate of the 74th class of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Not only is his acting good and suitable for comedy, but Guo Da himself is bald, which fully meets the requirements of this role.

This time, Guo Da received Wu Yuchen's invitation and rushed over without saying a word. He smiled and waved his hand:

"Haha, Wu Dao, what is this little thing? Our filming conditions in the past were much harder than they are now!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded when he saw Guo Da's attitude. Although it would be fine not to say it, after all, he ran over specifically to play a suffering role, so a few more words of concern are deserved.

First, they filmed Xu Zheng and a group of passengers peeking at Wang Zuxian, the big beauty, swaying in a drunken posture. These were not difficult, and basically passed in two or three takes. Next, it was time for the main event.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Wang Zuxian reached out and brushed away the hair covering her eyes. A beautiful and moving face was revealed in the lens, but unfortunately, her expression was drunken, and her eyes were a bit blurred. She turned her head to look at the old man standing beside her.

Guo Da was dressed meticulously, looking like the kind of old gentleman in the Magic City who is quite particular. He glanced at Wang Zuxian from the corner of his eye and frowned, only feeling a smell of alcohol rushing towards his face, and turned his face away.

Then he looked down at Tong Dawei, who was sitting in his seat with his head hooked, and coughed lightly, but Tong Dawei was indifferent, didn't even lift his head, just chewing gum, looking like he was doing his own thing.

At this time, Tong Dawei was dressed quite flamboyantly, with yellow hair and a pink T-shirt, completely in the style of the first generation of killing Matt, making people see at a glance that he was a rebellious youth. Guo Da sighed helplessly when he saw this.

The camera turned to Wang Zuxian. She brushed up the hair in front of her eyes, frowned in the middle, and made a fierce expression on her face, shouting at Tong Dawei:

"Hey, stand up! Give your seat to the old man!"

Tong Dawei slowly lifted his head, chewing gum and looking at Wang Zuxian who was glaring at him, and then he blew a bubble with the gum in his mouth, deliberately provoking her. Unfortunately, I don't know if he was nervous and used too much force, and spat the gum out of his mouth.

"Cut!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Tong Dawei hurriedly put his hands together to apologize.

"It's okay, come again. Later, when chewing gum, make the amplitude of your cheeks larger, and show your disdain in your eyes."

The crew had just started filming, and Wu Yuchen didn't care, so he asked someone to send him another piece of gum.

After starting again, Tong Dawei slowly lifted his head, blew a bubble at Wang Zuxian, then made a disdainful smile, and slowly lowered his head again, still making a "tsk" sound in his mouth, continuing to chew his gum.

Just at this time, Wang Zuxian slapped Tong Dawei heavily on the back of the head with a slap, and with a pop, he staggered forward, and the gum in his mouth fell onto his pants.

Tong Dawei picked up the gum from his pants and stuffed it back into his mouth, then looked up and glared at Wang Zuxian angrily.

The camera turned up to Wang Zuxian's face standing beside her. She was not afraid at all, her eyes opened wider, she glared back, then puffed up her cheeks, and made a fiercer look from a high position:

"Stinky boy, get up! Do you understand respecting the old and loving the young!"

Tong Dawei looked up and down at this savage woman who was obviously drunk, chewing gum, with an unconvinced expression.

But looking around, he found that all the passengers were looking at him. He pursed his lips, then sighed helplessly, as if to say that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, picked up his bag and got up, silently cursing "Cè nà!" in his mouth.

He hunched his back, leaned forward, stretched his head, chewing gum, in a little gangster walking posture.

However, before he could take two steps, he heard the savage woman behind him speak again: "Hey!"

Tong Dawei twisted his mouth and turned his head to look at Wang Zuxian.

Only to see Wang Zuxian stretch out her index finger, gesturing up and down at him, as if giving an order, and said domineeringly in a light tone: "In the future, don't wear pink clothes."

After speaking, her wrist drove her index finger to swing gently, letting him go, showing her toughness and domineering spirit.

Tong Dawei took a deep breath again, held it in, and stopped making a sound, turned around, lowered his head, and rubbed the back of his head as he left, fully reflecting what is called a paper tiger.

Wang Zuxian slowly turned her head back, the eyes that were glaring just now slowly closed, and her drunken head leaned on the pillar again.

"Cut! Very good!"

In the scene just now, the female lead Song Mingxi was drunk, savage, and domineering, but even when she was drunk, she didn't forget to respect the old and love the young, letting young people give up their seats to the elderly. There is a truthfulness in her rudeness, and the character was established all at once.

This scene was naturally not filmed in one or two takes. In the middle, Wang Zuxian and Tong Dawei and even the surrounding passengers NG-ed several times, but the final effect was quite satisfactory.

Wu Yuchen asked the assistant director to give Tong Dawei an extra red envelope. After all, he was hit more than once just now, and for the effect, Wang Zuxian didn't hold back her strength. However, although Tong Dawei had no lines and was hit, he was still quite happy. This scene of his could at least show his face for more than a minute in "My Sassy Girl"!

Tong Dawei's scenes ended here, and he stood not far away watching. Next, it was Guo Da's turn to suffer.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Only to see a crew member lying there on the subway crossbar where the camera couldn't see on Guo Da's seat, holding a plastic bottle in his hand. As the clapperboard sound fell, the little brother aimed at the top of Guo Da's head below and poured down the food scraps in the plastic bottle.

With a plop, as the food scraps resembling vomit fell on Guo Da's head, he shuddered all over, his arms unconsciously stood up, his face was first shocked, then became ugly, and he let out an "ah" sound.

All the passengers around also let out exclamations, not expecting such a thing to happen. The tough girl who helped the old man ask for a seat just now vomited all over the old man's head!

Drops of juice kept sliding down his hair. Guo Da's face was full of disgust at this time, his hands trembling as he touched the sides of his hair, clenching his teeth and squeezing his eyes, enduring the nausea to grab his hair, and then slowly lifted it up.

It turned out that this old gentleman was wearing a wig, and fortunately, it was a wig. Xu Zheng also had a look of disgust on his face, and at the same time, he was glad for the old man.

Only to see Guo Da's hands grabbing the wig tightly at this time, driving his arms to tremble constantly, showing the disgust he was enduring and holding back at this moment. He looked at the wig full of vomit, his lips trembling constantly, and a whimpering sound came out of his mouth.

However, just at this time, Wang Zuxian spat out another mouthful, and the bald top of Guo Da's head, which had just been well protected by the wig, was directly defiled. The exclamations of all the passengers around were even louder.

Streams of rice porridge flowed down Guo Da's forehead, his whole face was wet, and nausea, pain, and disgust twisted his facial features into a ball, and his whole body was trembling.

After Wang Zuxian spat it out, her expression relaxed, feeling that her whole body was much more comfortable. She let out a long breath, then turned her head, and reached out towards Xu Zheng with drunken eyes, murmuring: "Dear..."

Then with a "poof" sound, she fell to the ground completely drunk.

The eyes of all the passengers followed Wang Zuxian's "dear" and looked towards Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng was stunned, feeling inexplicable, and then his body unconsciously leaned aside, explaining to the people around him with a smile as if nothing had happened: "This, I'm not."

But the passengers around didn't think so, and said to him one after another: "She called you dear!"

Xu Zheng saw that the passengers misunderstood him, the smile on his face disappeared, and his tone couldn't help but become higher, emphasizing: "I'm really not!"

"Come here!" A sharp drink came, it was Guo Da who was vomited all over.

"I, I, this..."

Xu Zheng kept opening his mouth, wanting to explain again, but he found that everyone around him was convinced that he was the boyfriend of the drunken girl, and his face was bitter and helpless.

"You still dare to laugh! Give it to me!" Speaking of this, Guo Da gritted his teeth, and his tone was so excited that it was an octave higher, like an old eunuch. The passengers around wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

And when Xu Zheng used his jacket to wipe Guo Da's bald head, wiped the wig, and carefully put the wig on for him honestly later, Guo Da's disgusting and extremely angry appearance formed a sharp contrast with the meticulous and particular image in front, and the comedy effect was simply full!

"Cut, very good! Hurry up and help Teacher Guo clean up!"

The staff hurriedly brought a basin of water forward, and Wu Yuchen also took a bottle of mineral water to help clean Guo Da.

"Teacher Guo, I'm really sorry for you! This scene is very important, and it has been filmed back and forth for so long."

"Eh, it's okay, it's okay! Isn't this what an actor should do? It doesn't break the skin or get hurt, it's not worth mentioning!" Guo Da replied with a smile.

The filming just now was naturally not completed in one go. Just Xu Zheng showing a look of nausea and disgust, and having to grasp that honest posture of his own, NG-ed many times back and forth.

And during this process, Guo Da was always wearing the dirty things on his head and body, and was very professional.

Although it wasn't real vomit and didn't have a smelly taste, the instant noodles that fell down were also food scraps, and the white porridge was really spat out from Wang Zuxian's mouth.

Fortunately, this process of spitting on his head was done in one take, otherwise, if it came a few more times, even the best actor would not be able to stand it in his heart. It must be said that most of the actors in this era are really willing to pay for acting. If it were those little fresh meat traffic stars twenty years later, they would never act in this even if they were beaten to death, it would definitely be a stunt double without a doubt.

After Wu Yuchen finished watching the playback, the assistant director came over and asked: "Wu Dao, are we still filming today?"

The goal today was to complete these two main scenes. Wu Yuchen saw that it was completely dark outside, thought for a moment and said:

"Let's go out for a meal first, and then everyone work hard, take advantage of the night, and film the night scenes at the subway station."

The subway station is not very convenient, and the carriage cannot be used at any time, so concentrate on filming all the subway scenes in the shortest possible time. Tomorrow, we will film a funny segment where the male and female leads bet on flicking foreheads on the subway, and it will be almost done after filming.

In addition to the male and female leads, "My Sassy Girl" also has some small supporting roles with few scenes but highlights. Guo Da's old man is just one of them. Since Wu Yuchen is filming in the Magic City this time, he should use people from the Shanghai Film Studio or the Shanghai Theatre Academy as much as possible.

For example, the role of the escaped prisoner is played by Liao Fan from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Because his girlfriend had a dispute with someone while eating, he stabbed someone and went to prison. As a result, he learned in prison that his girlfriend and his good brother had gotten together, so he escaped from prison to kill this pair of dog men and women who betrayed him, and then was influenced by the female lead Wang Zuxian. Actually, it's about the same as the deserter being cuckolded in the original version. In reality, meeting this kind of person is naturally a dangerous person, but in a comedy film, this role is also a funny role.

Then there is the female lead Song Mingxi's father who loves to drink. Wu Yuchen called Li Youbin to play him; Song Mingxi's mother was invited to be Pan Hong; Qian Niu's mother was invited to be Xi Meijuan; and the funny small hotel owner was invited to be Teacher "Ji Gong" You Benchang. These people are all from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. The roles have few scenes and can basically be considered guest appearances, but they can let the audience recognize who it is at a glance.

These people are worthy of being old drama bones, with very rich filming experience, and the filming was very smooth, all done in half a day. It is because Wu Yuchen's face is really big enough now, otherwise, it would be really difficult to gather them together.

The filming of the "My Sassy Girl" crew is proceeding in an orderly manner. On the contrary, the local media in the Magic City will report on the relevant news of the filming from time to time, such as today on Subway Line 1, a few days later at Jiaotong University, and a week later at an amusement park, etc.

And just when Wu Yuchen was filming here, two people he didn't expect rushed to the crew.

In a Xiali car that was not as good as a Mazda, "Zhou Chaoxian" sat in the back seat and asked the man beside him:

"Director Yu, we don't know them, will we make a wasted trip?"

Yu Liwei smiled and said: "I heard Jia Zhangke, who is my friend, say that Wu Yuchen is very supportive of the film industry and has invested a lot of money in some films one after another. Besides, we were passing by anyway, so we came to pull some investment by the way. If it succeeds, our crew will be more well-off. Brother Thirteen, you are not only the male lead but also a film investor, so you must be more active~ And with you present, Wu Yuchen might invest for your sake!"

Yu Liwei is the photographer of "Xiao Wu," and can also be said to be Jia Zhangke's designated director, but he himself also has a director's dream. This time, it was to film his first personal feature film "All Tomorrow's Parties."

And the Brother Thirteen he spoke of is none other than the thousand-faced film emperor Liang Jiahui, because he took 13 films in one year, he had a nickname called "Liang Thirteen."

Liang Jiahui was very interested after seeing the script of "All Tomorrow's Parties." Not only did he agree to be the male lead, but he also invested some money himself to be the producer. This time, he followed Yu Liwei to the mainland to pick actors. After all, the mainland actors' salaries are low and their acting skills are good, which is very suitable for acting in art films.

Liang Jiahui shook his head: "He is an international big director, even Hollywood walks sideways for him. I don't have such a big face."

"Man proposes, God disposes. Trying it won't lose a piece of meat~" Yu Liwei laughed.

Wu Yuchen looked at Zhou Chaoxian in front of him and really wanted to ask if he came by Mercedes-Benz or Mazda. You know, the film "Black Gold" was just released half a year ago.

"Wu Dao, nice to meet you!"

Wu Yuchen also shook hands with the two: "Director Yu, hello, Mr. Liang, hello!"

Liang Jiahui smiled and said: "Wu Dao, you can just call me Tony."

His Mandarin is actually quite good. Although there is an accent, it is already fluent.

And on the side, Wang Zuxian smiled and said to Liang Jiahui: "Wow, Brother Tony, are you here to see me?"

"Xiao Xian, you are still so beautiful!" Liang Jiahui and Wang Zuxian are old acquaintances. The two have collaborated more than once and even played husband and wife in "A Better Tomorrow."

"Roar, looking at you like this, you are not here to see me~" Wang Zuxian joked with him.

Liang Jiahui laughed and made a haha, and then he and Yu Liwei stated their intentions to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment after listening: "How about this, give me the script first, and we'll talk after I finish reading it. But right now, I have a role here. Can Tony help to make a guest appearance?"

Liang Jiahui was surprised when he heard this: "Wu Dao, I have no preparation at all, will it be not very good..."

Liang Jiahui didn't expect that he hadn't gotten a result from pulling investment, but instead, he was being targeted.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it's a very simple scene. With your strength, Tony, it will definitely be no problem! It can be done in half an hour."

Wang Zuxian also probably guessed what Wu Yuchen wanted him to act, and also said: "Brother Tony, since you are here, you can't leave without acting a scene with me~"

Liang Jiahui heard the two say this, so he agreed: "This... okay, Wu Dao, what role do I play?"

Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "Sister Xiao Xian's blind date partner. A successful person who makes the male lead feel inferior. Later, when you go on a blind date, you have to put on a mature and confident demeanor."

This Liang Jiahui who delivered himself to the door is really not to be used in vain. Both his age and image are just right, and he has a Hong Kong accent, which is just right to introduce as a successful person who returned from Hong Kong Island, which is very in line with the impression that everyone mentions Hong Kong Island people as rich people in this era.

As soon as Liang Jiahui heard this, he understood what he was going to play, and asked with a smile:

"Then did I succeed in this blind date as a rich man?"

"Brother Tony, what are you thinking? A guest extra, still want to succeed in a blind date with me?" Wang Zuxian joked.

Liang Jiahui spread his hands and said: "I am a rich man, money is everything!"

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Tony, this is a romance film, not reality. Money cannot defeat true love!"

Liang Jiahui deliberately shook his head and sighed: "So it's a stepping stone to set off other people's love? I, this rich man, am really miserable~"

Several people couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard this.
