Chapter 032 If I Had a Choice, I'd Still Be Studying Law
The night shoot continued, with one or two hundred axe gang members in suits waiting to appear on set.
Hu Jun tugged at the hem of his clothes and adjusted his top hat, then picked up the prop axe and chuckled softly, "This suit is actually quite nice."
"It feels a bit strange that there are suits in (Shanghai Bund)."
"It's common to see actors in suits wearing them, even in movies like 'A Better Tomorrow,' but what about our Axe Gang, which has hundreds of members?"
One or two hundred fitted black suits were worn by groups of current or former students of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Beijing Film Academy.
It's quite intimidating to have such a large group of people gathered together.
Hu Jun is currently a senior at the Central Academy of Drama. He came here specifically to hang out with the crew after he learned that Kung Fu Hustle was starting filming.
Whether it's playing a minor role without showing your face or doing odd jobs on set, it's all an opportunity to get involved in big-budget Hong Kong film and television productions.
Xu Zheng, whose hair was still quite thick, waved a prop beside Hu Jun and said, "Several hundred people in black suits walking together would be very imposing."
"If this were accompanied by music, it would probably become a classic scene in Hong Kong films."
"Don't we also have the axe dance? The sense of violence and oppression is so strong, the imagery is incredibly vivid."
Xu Zheng is a freshman now. The main reason he can get minor roles is because he is close to the screen.
Even Zhou Jie, who was born in the 1980s or 1980s, could play a character with a name and a surname, Sauce Explosion, which was a hilarious role.
Another man in a suit adjusted his top hat. "I heard these suits were specially designed and made for the film crew."
"That Director Su is really willing to spend money."
This is Guo Tao, Hu Jun's junior from the class of '88 at the Central Academy of Drama. Although Lao Guo is also involved in Beijing's social circles.
But his mother is a graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
None of these extras had read the complete script; it was only the first day of filming.
Seeing the costumes of the extras, you can tell this is a good film crew.
The group didn't have much time to chat before the two assistant directors, Da Pao Hui and Li Lu, quickly arranged for the Axe Gang members in suits to appear one after another.
Those who need to show off their acting skills are the people following Zhang Yaoyang, such as the advisor and the second gang leader.
……
It was a little after 1 a.m. on January 1, 1991.
The (Kung Fu) crew wrapped up their work and around midnight, Da Pao Hui arranged for the production manager to prepare a late-night snack.
There's no need to continue serving food now; Cheng Xiaodong, Li Lu, and the others stayed behind to clean up the mess.
Su Nan took a car back to the mansion he had bought in Shanghai.
Rosamund Kwan didn't come to the film set today because she arrived in Shanghai yesterday and spent the day exploring her mansion until she was completely exhausted.
When he and Ah Hong drove home, Sister Guan greeted them with a radiant smile as she opened the door.
"Brother Nan, the Popov family in Moscow has sent over a set of T-80U design drawings."
"You'll be almost ready to start work by the time they land in Shanghai. Are you meeting them for dinner tomorrow?"
Su Nan exclaimed with delight, "That's great! Before, when it was just the Fedorov family..."
"I have to pay money for good things, including extra money, since Popov joined the company."
"They definitely want to get more supplies."
The T-80U design drawings show that the T-80U is modeled after the Type 99 prototype.
China only began long-term research and development based on the T-72 two years ago, and it is still in its early stages.
Southern Jiangsu is unsure how much of the good stuff the mainland has acquired.
He continued to give gifts to the railway giant, including more high-performance raw materials for the T-80U.
This is a certificate for long-term contracting of a passenger carriage with occasional freight wagons.
Later, when Su Nan took the two to rest, he complained, "Tomorrow's filming schedule is for Director Yuan and Director Cheng to start filming first."
"I have to go to the film set this afternoon."
The Popov family members had all landed in Shanghai and were staying in hotels, so he had to go see them early in the morning.
Sleep? It's 4 a.m., what's the point of sleeping?
After filming began in Shanghai, he didn't always live in this old mansion, even though it had been renovated.
Once you become famous, you're more likely to be besieged by your neighbors.
If Rosamund Kwan were to walk around in broad daylight without wearing a protective mask or sunglasses, she would definitely be mobbed by fans.
I'll stay in hotels when I'm supposed to, but now I'm just experiencing what it's like to stay in a hotel.
Sister Guan excitedly said, "Let's go, let's fight a few more times. I don't believe that a 29-year-old woman like me can't suppress a big boy like you."
Ah Hong rolled her eyes at Rosamund Kwan without saying a word.
Who exactly is it that's always all smiles and begging for mercy with a droopy mouth?
Ah Hong admitted that she had a lot to learn in terms of being a flirt, and that catching up with Sister Guan was a long way off.
……
On the afternoon of the 1st, after Su Nan took the drunken members of the Moscow Popov family back to their hotel, he then took a car to the film set.
To Su Nan's surprise, when she arrived at the film set, she found that Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong were also there.
Outside the filming location, Ah Rong and Ah Hong were surrounded by a large number of fans asking for autographs.
It's been 91 years, even though Ah Wing's character in A Better Tomorrow wasn't likable.
However, both parts of A Chinese Ghost Story I and II were pirated and spread throughout mainland China, and his status as a big singer also attracted a lot of fans.
Cherie Chung was a role model for the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s, with no one more popular than her.
When Su Nan got off the bus, the two people were still surrounded and couldn't move.
When Ah Hong and Da Pao Hui ran over to greet them, Chen Hong explained with a smile, "Brother Rong and Sister Hong have come to visit the set."
"They said they were unaware of the audition process for (Remote Control) because they couldn't participate in it in time."
"One of them was dealing with (Days of Being Wild) and then flew to France to film (Once a Thief)."
"The other main character is known for his 'Across the World' skills. He's here to apologize and could also make a cameo appearance in kung fu."
Su Nan was speechless. What was there to apologize for? She had missed an interview because of scheduling conflicts.
Isn't this just an ordinary, everyday thing?
Da Pao Hui gave Su Nan an awkward laugh and said, "Brother Nan, your nickname is getting more and more famous."
"Mr. Ma from Oriental Daily News proactively said that when we have time to do the publicity, he can fully cooperate and give us ten consecutive days of GG."
Some things are known to few people when they first happen, but it's been almost 60 days since the lame horse was bombed on November 3rd.
Despite the tacit agreement among all the media outlets in Hong Kong's Ho Wan area, no one mentioned this news.
But the messy gossip that was supposed to fly just kept spreading step by step.
(Remote Control) is tentatively scheduled for mid-November with Leung Ka-fai and Joey Wong. They will sign a letter of intent, and if they are not used by the time they are hired, they will pay some compensation as an apology.
Stephen Chow was unaware that he was learning from the crew during the filming of "God of Gamblers".
When Ah Xing came to the mainland at the end of December, he apologized repeatedly, saying that he had not tried his best in the competition (for the remote control).
I'm especially sorry to have disappointed Brother Nan.
Ah Xing also said he could make up for it by casually playing a cameo role after turning on the remote control.
Su Nan felt helpless. It wasn't his fault; it was the various gang thugs who had bullied him too much.
Just like he said to Hung Kam Po back then.
If Hui Koon-man and Cheung Kwok-wing had all gone to audition back then, they would have been just as shocked as Joey Wong.
Then isn't Ah Nan just like that scumbag who shot Andy Lau? No, he isn't!
A moment later, Su Nan saw Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong walking towards him inside the film set.
He stepped forward with a smile and greeted them, "Brother Rong, Sister Hong, whatever gossip you've heard..."
"Don't overthink it. If I had a choice, I'd be studying law at HKU right now."
"Right now, I just hope to make money smoothly from international trade and make some movies."
Ah Rong and Chung Chu-hung, who had been all smiles, were stunned.
The two then quickly shook hands and greeted each other.
So, in Shixiawei Nan Ge's eyes, Ma Sheng getting hit by an RPG is just a trivial matter of gossip? That's too fierce.
However, it is true that if given a choice, the other party would study law at the University of Hong Kong.
For a moment, they didn't know how to exchange pleasantries.
Su Nan then inquired about (Once a Thief), noting that the film's production hadn't been very fast.
But February 14th is Lunar New Year's Eve, so there shouldn't be any problem with making a push for the Lunar New Year film season.
