People are running for men, and Bai Mengyan is crying at the beginning

After separating from Bai Lu, Xiang Long focused all his energy on filming again.

Everyday life has become a simple two-point and one-line affair between the hotel and the crew.

As Xiang Long got along better with the crew, they were surprised to find that Xiang Long knew so many things!

Needless to say, the acting skills, even the veteran actors in the crew can’t find any fault with Xiang Long’s acting skills.

Even “Yiyiguo” has almost become Xiang Long’s exclusive nickname.

Just because no matter what scene it is, he can pass it all, leaving everyone speechless.

In addition to his acting skills, the second thing that surprised everyone was Xiang Long’s screenwriting ability.

Although everyone is using the second version of the script adapted by Xiang Long himself, everyone is aware of Xiang Long’s screenwriting ability.

But after the filming started, everyone was even more impressed by Xiang Long’s screenwriting ability.

Very simple,

During the actual filming process, it is inevitable that we will encounter various problems and we cannot completely follow the script plan.

It was at this time that everyone suddenly discovered that no matter what kind of plot problems they encountered, as long as they were handed over to Xiang Long, he could easily find suitable modification methods to make the plot smooth again.

The requirements for screenwriters are real and there can be no falsehoods.

During a meal, Yuan Jinlin patted Xiang Long on the shoulder and praised everyone:

Xiang Long’s screenwriting ability is fully worthy of an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

In addition to acting and screenwriting, the most surprising thing is undoubtedly Xiang Long’s directing ability!

…

This incident originated from the second act of the showdown between Xiang Long and Cheng Long.

Because of the adaptation of the script, when his teammate Su died of his injuries, Xiang Long did not choose to send the bomb to the police station like the original version in order to retaliate.

He chose to kidnap Sun Keyi and an innocent child at the same time, and tied bombs to them.

Then, Xiang Long started a live broadcast to inform Cheng Long of the incident and let him decide which one to save in front of everyone in Hong Kong.

If you choose to save Sun Keyi, everyone in Hong Kong will know that he is just a selfish policeman. At the same time, it will also make the entire police force lose face;

Choosing to save the child, if Sun Keyi’s brother died due to a mistake and then failed to save her, Cheng Long might not be able to choose to be with Sun Keyi in his life.

It can be said that this scene is the most essential confrontation in “New Police Story”, which fully demonstrates Xiang Long’s ferocity and Cheng Long’s brave decision.

But it was this extremely crucial rivalry scene that stumped Chen Musheng.

Very simple,

Because according to the entire drama, the duel between Xiang Long and Cheng Long is divided into three times.

The first time was when Xiang Long completely manipulated Cheng Long and his teammates, and Xiang Long had the absolute upper hand.

In the third and final rooftop showdown, Xiang Long was forced to commit suicide, and Cheng Long had the upper hand.

And this time, it is the second time to connect the past and the next.

According to the normal plot sequence, the two people should be evenly matched in this scene.

But because of the plot, Xiang Long still suppressed Cheng Long unilaterally at this time.

This requires Chen Musheng to convey a message to the audience in terms of camera language, that is, although Cheng Long does not seem to have the upper hand, he can still suppress Xiang Long.

It was this shot that put Chen Musheng in trouble. He smoked cigarettes all night and failed to come up with a good shooting method.

Because all viewers know that Cheng Long is not dominant at this time. If Cheng Long is shown to have the advantage through simple and crude camera language, such as giving him highlights while Xiang Long is in a dark corner, etc., then the audience will not understand The secret is that the viewing experience will be greatly compromised.

Chen Musheng had to design a shot that was exquisite and psychologically suggestive. This shot would not destroy the audience’s viewing experience, but also let the audience know that Cheng Long would succeed in the end.

“Oh, it’s so difficult!”

Chen Musheng rubbed his hair and put out the unfinished cigarette butt in the ashtray that was already filled with cigarette butts.

At this time,

Cheng Long and Xiang Long came in from outside. As soon as they entered the room, they were taken a few steps back by the thick smoke inside.

“Ahem!”

Xiang Long coughed twice, waved away the smoke in front of him, entered the room and teased Chen Musheng: “Director Chen, what are you doing, cultivating immortality?”

Chen Musheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Xiang Long’s teasing, and glared at Xiang Long: “It’s not your fault. The plot was designed so well that I was embarrassed to fool it when I was filming.”

“oh?”

Xiang Long came to the table in surprise and saw that the table was covered with various storyboard drawings. With just one glance, Xiang Long understood which scene Chen Musheng was troubled by.

“Is this the second scene between me and Brother Cheng Long?”

Xiang Long asked knowingly.

”

right. ”

Chen Musheng was lying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling blankly, and murmured: “I am almost worried to death, how can you show your disadvantages, and how can you show Cheng Long’s advantages…”

On the side, Cheng Long smiled and said: “There is really no other way, then let me fight with Xiaolong.”

After spending the past few days with Xiang Long, looking at the lively Xiang Long, he seemed to see himself in his youth, full of energy, and always wanted to arrange a fight with Xiang Long for himself.

“How can it be?”

Chen Musheng rolled his eyes at Cheng Long: “This scene must be presented in a literary way, otherwise the balance between the two of you will be broken…”

Just when Cheng Long and Chen Musheng were talking,

Xiang Long sat on Chen Musheng’s chair, casually took two pieces of manuscript paper, and started drawing on them.

The two of them didn’t notice it at first, but after about ten minutes, they realized that Xiang Long, who usually talked a lot, was acting strangely today.

Looking up, the two of them saw Xiang Long writing something on the table.

Chen Musheng thought Xiang Long was going to change the script, so he hurriedly said: “Xiaolong, this scene is already perfect. There is no need to modify the plot. If you give me two more days, I will definitely be able to design the best shot!”

at this time,

Xiang Long just finished drawing, put down the pencil, and raised the manuscript paper in his hand:

“Exactly, Director Chen, can you take a look at the storyboard I drew and see if it can be used?”

“Did you draw the storyboard?”

Chen Musheng and Cheng Long were both stunned: “You can also draw storyboards?”

If Xiang Long understands screenwriting and can explain it by saying that actors need to understand the script and therefore have some experience, then splitting shots is a skill that only a pure director needs.

Actors don’t need to know much at all.

“Well, I liked drawing when I was a kid.”

Xiang Long explained casually, stood up and handed the storyboard to Chen Musheng: “Here, let’s see if it fits?”

Chen Musheng and Cheng Long looked at each other, then put their heads together to watch.

When they saw the split shots drawn by Xiang Long, their first impression was – so exquisite!

In the drawing, although each pattern only has a few strokes, the changes in the expressions of the two characters in the picture are accurately drawn.

Naturally, they didn’t know that Xiang Long had master-level painting skills, and drawing a split-shot script was simply child’s play.

After admiring Xiang Long’s painting skills, the second impression of the two of them was that the lens design is great!

From the first shot to the end of the last shot, Chen Musheng went through it in his mind, and then looked at Xiang Long in shock:

“Tell me, Xiaolong, is there anything else you don’t know?”
