Chapter 110 Bar Night Show(1/2)

Ye Qing's Weibo post aroused some of his fans' interest in "White Night Chase", but whether they can retain people depends on the quality of the film.

So this Weibo post will only have one definite benefit:

That is, the early popularity of "White Night" will definitely be temporarily rising, and the quality of the follow-up itself can keep up, so I believe there will be a good result.

And this is the correct usage of traffic.

Traffic brings early attention, but it is not enough to have this attention. The producer must bring quality works to the future.

Pan Yueming thanked this:

“Thank you thank you…”

This kind of favor is very precious, even more precious than he thought. He also knows that many popular celebrities on the Internet may cost millions of dollars. Ye Qing's open promotional methods are unlikely to buy three to four million.

What's more, people's traffic is real:

Seeing a group of marketing accounts starting to explore why Ye Qing and Pan Yueming cooperated, what has Pan Yueming been doing in recent years, and what is this "White Night Chasing"...

The click-through rate is not low.

As for Ye Qing, it is purely a favor.

So I didn't say much, and I was kind enough to take a break. The next day, "Detective Chinatown" filmed the last scene in China, and then moved to Bangkok, Thailand for filming.

This will be a two-month shooting.

The crew has made a lot of preparations for this and has a lot of difficulties. It includes finding an abandoned hospital for shooting the overall outdoor scene, but the bad thing is that the corridor is a bit short, and there are pillars in the middle and a cement step below.

Many places in Chinatown cannot be filmed, so they have prepared several scenes for switching. Some of them that cannot be filmed and must be filmed, such as the vegetable market, which is completely built by the crew.

It was very difficult to make the paragraph of the bar that was about to start filming in the past. The external producer took the team to the entire bar street to see all the places where the crew could talk about the shooting.

The crew of "Chinatown" has made so much preparations because they will definitely encounter a lot of unexpected situations when filming abroad.

Then, it will not be as easy to communicate and coordinate as in China.

So some people may ask, why do you have to shoot abroad, especially in Thailand?

The answer is actually not difficult to explain.

...

Many people also understand that the story of "Detective Chinatown" was chosen in Thailand to avoid censorship: it was obvious that the police were confused and a little funny, the government was inefficient, and various chaotic and disorderly elements...

If placed in China, it will definitely not be able to pass the review.

This is certain, but this is actually only part of the reason: more importantly, the local religious and cultural background of Thailand is closely linked, as well as the continuous social conflicts in Thailand, many Chinese and overseas Chinese have relatively low shooting costs, etc.

A rough translation is:

Religious culture → some religious elements make sense; social contradictions → Thailand itself is more chaotic; there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese → It is not surprising that they speak Chinese, it is not surprising that there are Chinatowns, and it is not surprising that there are few cultural obstacles; the shooting cost is low → this is indeed low...

Such an analysis is enough to allow Chen Sicheng to choose the location here to shoot.

From August 25 to 26, the crew of "Chinatown" flew to Bangkok in batches for filming.

Ye Qing and the others are from 26.

Thailand is not the peak season for tourism at this moment, so the crew did not meet a lot of Chinese people when they got off the plane. Instead, Ye Qing's fans in Thailand organized the pick-up - this relatively large-scale whereabouts cannot be stopped in this era.

Ye Qing decided to show up directly.

Therefore, the airport is led by Chinese people in Thailand, and a bunch of boys and girls have long been looking forward to it.

You have to say that young foreigners are no worse than those in China. Ye Qing was so excited that he just recorded his face and was very excited. He seemed to have returned to the final scene. The various screams and waving light cards were really enthusiastic.

Fortunately, if we really want to talk about it, the scale is still much worse than that in China.

This is because Ye Qing has several stations here, so he has this momentum. In fact, "Trainer 101" is still popular in Thailand. So Ye Qing signed a simple autograph with these fans and continued to go to the hotel with the crew.

It rained heavily along the way.

Ye Qing played a game before, called "Rumor Detective Extra: Bangkok Heavy Rain". But you really have to come here to experience the real situation in the local area.

It was raining heavily on the way from the airport to the hotel.

He really saw a lot of scattered Buddha statues and sculptures, distributed in various stores along the way. They were almost exactly the same as the Songpa Workshop in the movie, with various Buddha statues placed at will from the shop door to the warehouse.

This is the true belief of the locals.

Full of exotic style.

In contrast, the hotels that the crew of Chinatown are much more modern. In addition to the traditional Thai costumes that welcome the guests at the door, the rest are basically standard modern hotels. At most, they are decorated with Thai styles, food, and massages.

Lift this massage...

Because the crew directly booked the hotel, crew members can enjoy the massage at will. After the massage is completed, give some tips depending on the situation.

However, Ye Qing did not choose to go at this time, and he did not come here to enjoy a massage:

Let's go to the bar first to check out the spot.

Director Chen said that if the situation is good, you can try shooting, because the time is limited - because the bars in this place are still very popular, the crew will only talk to for a few days. We must hurry up and shoot the scenes of the bar to be considered relaxed.

...

"No, it's still all blue."

"Zhang Yang, add some red and yellow tube lights, and I want some color contrast here."

"Be careful, we only rented one set of equipment, it's expensive. Don't break it!"

It's 8 o'clock now, and there is no music playing in the bar, but the "Chinatown" extras gathered in themselves are enough to fill this space: not to mention that there are girls with various slender waists and long legs, wearing short skirts or shorts, or turbulent waves or flaming red lips...

and several foreigners who play tourists.

It is said that they are also tourists who come here to play.

I heard that I was very interested in making a movie. Chen Sicheng promised that they would have a scene of showing their faces, and then they would be pulled to be an actor.

So most of these girls found in the local area are so hot, and many male extras are not professional. So the guy on the scene was noisy, and the people in the crew of dozens of extras and dozens of people were in the same space, flocking to each other, and they were all confused no matter how they looked.

Ye Qing regretted coming early.

Fortunately, at this time a staff member walked through the crowd and shouted to him: "Brother Qing! Brother Qing! The director is looking for you!"

"Okay, I'll come here!"

Ye Qing also shouted at him and expressed discomfort in the noisy environment here: he was indeed a game otakus in his heart.

Well, when will I get a "Sunny Otaku" or something...

With random thoughts, Ye Qing walked around from the side to the director. Chen Sicheng and others were fiddling with a huge mirror. There was a hole in the middle of the mirror. It seemed that they hid the camera behind the mirror and took photos through this hole. In this way, the audience could only see a small black dot in the mirror opposite.

Camera Du Jie is explaining to the director:

The bar environment will be noisy and noisy at that time, and the audience will not be able to see this shot after it is taken.

"Come on, try this."

However, Chen Sicheng called Ye Qing not to come for the mirror, but to have a new equipment. He called someone over and said, "Lao Lin, come and help Ye Qing try this equipment."

"Here! Sorry, sorry!"

Someone replied there and rushed over quickly.

Ye Qing also took the opportunity to take a look at the equipment, which was a plastic shelf fixed to her waist.

You can imagine it as a fixed selfie stick, connected to the human body. In this way, after being fixed to the human body, the actor can maintain a relatively constant angle with the camera, and the camera can move with the actor's body.

All that changes is the surrounding environment.

This is used to film the scene where Qin Feng went to Bangkok on the first day and was drunk and wandered around the bar street.

It's a good design.

The overall installation process is not complicated. After the inspection, the director said, "Okay, you don't feel uncomfortable, right?"

"No." Ye Qing moved his body twice, very tight, and he was strangling his waist, but it was fine for a short time.

Chen Sicheng took the speaker to shout and glanced outside:

"Okay, do you want to try a shot?"

What he most hopes is that Ye Qing can finish this part as soon as possible, because the longer they stay here, the more uncertain it will be more difficult to deal with. When the news comes out, domestic tourists will definitely flock to you, and there are also merchants who take the opportunity to raise prices/no ones.

But you may have to suffer, so you feel very uncomfortable.

"I'm fine." Ye Qing blinked.

...

The shooting really started from the first day, and the makeup artist quickly put on makeup. He changed his clothes and adjusted his condition, and the group went on the street.

“3,2,1,action!”

In this small blockade of the bar, neon lights shine and music begins to ring.

A group of local bar operators, tourists, and enthusiastic girls became lively as they were rehearsed before. After about ten seconds, Chen Sicheng pushed him out after the initial nervousness passed.

Ye Qing shook forward, looking around.

What the director was thinking of Ye Qing, who was confused and turned left and right, looked around, and the environment in the camera also turned rapidly. With his deep and shallow steps, from confusion to a little happy smile, and the foreign girl he hugged...
