Volume 2 Chapter 28

What can I say about luck?

It can't be seen or touched, but it just exists.

Let's take the simplest example: gambling, work, and life.

Of course, I mean that their "self-nature" is the same, not "completely" the same.

Just like we are all human beings, the "self-nature" of this person is the same, but there are objective differences in appearance, body shape, and other aspects.

So we ask: "Why do some people have bad luck throughout their lives?"

This is like asking: Why are some people not born beautiful? He is not beautiful because his parents have bad genes.

Zhou Haowen used to complain about his bad luck, but after rebirth, he felt luck was important.

For example, now, because the shooting requires the use of carriages, there are also real-life shootings.

Originally, Zhou Haowen planned to find a green cloth to simulate the carriage in Huairou Film and Television City for shooting, but because the content of the shooting "Shanghai Trip" is all related to high-speed trains. 1

So, the Yanjing High-speed Railway Group took the initiative to contact Zhou Haowen and said that they could provide a train.

This made Zhou Haowen confused. Thinking carefully, it could be related to the magic of luck.

Luck value +10.

The train departs from Suzhou, goes to Nanjing first, finds that the virus in Nanjing is out of control, and then goes to Shanghai.

This movie is no longer "Train to Busan" but "Travel to Shanghai." When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Regarding the story's setting in the movie, from the virus leak to the blockade of the news by all parties, the virus finally got out of control.

Ultimately, the movie will be divided by the Yangtze River, the virus will spread completely in the south, and only the north will be temporarily safe.

Of course, the content of this movie is not the end of the world, nor is it a doomsday survival crisis.

It is a group of ordinary people struggling in a life-and-death crisis!

In this regard, Korean movies are very good, seeing the big from the small and seeing human nature from the ordinary.

On December 2, the crew went to the Yanjing Railway Station.

"Travel to Shanghai" officially started shooting.

"Boom, boom..." With a humming sound, the train officially started. This is the shooting scene of "Shanghai Trip."

The train runs on the railway, and the zombies happen to appear on the train, which forms a closed space.

Many movies choose this closed environment to enhance the confrontation and intensify the conflict.

It is precisely because of the high-speed operation of the high-speed rail that people cannot leave it, making the conflict with the zombies more intense.

Of course, it is impossible to keep the train running uninterruptedly during filming. This is unrealistic.

Not to mention that the major railway networks in China are extremely busy. Even if Wang Jianlin personally takes action, it is impossible to cause a suspension of operation.

Moreover, there will always be NGs when shooting on the spot. It is not necessarily a good thing that the train keeps passing by.

The scene of the high-speed rail running naturally needs to be shot, but there is also post-synthesis!

What is being filmed now is the shot of the high-speed rail just leaving Suzhou City.

In desperation, Qin Hao took his child on the high-speed rail. He faced the pressure of work and was exhausted to the extreme.

So, he told his daughter not to run around and planned to take a good rest on the subway.

The role of the daughter is naturally Wang Shengdi. Now, she is the scheduled heroine in Zhou Haowen's movies and TV series.

It has been a while since Pu Pu ate Zhou Haowen's big cock last time.

This time, Xie Zhijing left her daughter to Zhou Haowen to take care of. She is an elementary school teacher and is naturally very busy near the end of the semester.

Wang Shengdi missed her mother and tried every means to see her.

As soon as the train started, Yiran saw a strange scene, but unfortunately, no one believed it.

In addition to Qin Hao and his daughter, retired special forces soldier Wu Jing and his pregnant wife, Tong Liya, were looking for a seat on the slowly moving train.

In another carriage, the Soochow University school football team was preparing to travel to Nanjing for a friendly match.

But after stepping on the train, everyone was surprised to find that the school football team's cheerleader was also present.

The two captains are the football captain, Liu Haoran, and the cheerleader, Di Lieba.

The two's affair was no secret within the football team, and for a moment, everyone was making a fuss.

No one knew the crisis had already broken out on the lively yet extremely warm and peaceful train.

When the train started, Suzhou Station was already a little chaotic, and no one cared at the time, thinking there was an accident.

Was it a thief or a liar?

People come and go in a place like a train station, and the flow is very large, so naturally, there are these people.

So, no one cared, not only the passengers on the high-speed rail but also the train staff.

Before the train started, when the attendant was not paying attention, a figure stumbled into the high-speed rail.

This person seemed in pain, curled alone in a corner, and no one noticed.

It was not until the attendant conducted a routine inspection that the strange person in the corner was discovered.

The attendant thought the passenger was sick and called for help immediately. She then chose to save people.

However, she did not expect an extremely hideous and terrifying face.

"Ah!" The attendant was so frightened that she lost her voice. Her eyes were dull as if she were completely frightened.

"Ka!" However, a very abrupt sound rang out, and someone shouted with a loudspeaker.

"The action is too exaggerated. Now, in your eyes, she is just a patient, not a zombie. Collect a little. Get ready, do it again!"

"Okay, director!" Zhou Haowen spoke, and this place was naturally not in the movie but the shooting site.

Looking closely, the attendant looked a little familiar. Wasn't it Liu Shishi?

That's right, Liu Shishi came here to visit the set. Who did she visit? Of course, it was Tong Liya.

This made Tong Liya very angry.

Of course, she knew that Liu Shishi didn't come to visit her to see her. Only Yaya knew Sima Zhao's intention.

But she had to keep this secret for Liu Shishi.

Just after Liu Shishi came, Zhou Haowen asked her to play a cameo as a flight attendant.

He is a character with a small role but shows his face throughout the film. 1

It's a pity that this character died early and tragically.

As for Liu Shishi, the actor opposite is the guest actor in "Shanghai Trip" and the actor who plays the zombie.

Why do many zombie movies fail?

The first and most important point is that the image of the zombie is not well created.

Many movies with zombie titles have very shabby makeup and, at most, a few strokes.

This is still a zombie that must show its face, like the group actors in the back, who put on long hair and covered their faces.

Zhou Haowen can't be so casual when making a movie, especially when creating zombies.

He is unafraid of horror movies, so he doesn't need to make the zombies very scary like in "Resident Evil."

Of course, horror is the basis, and the hideous and crazy face is the biggest feature of zombies.

Add special effects, such as a 180-degree head turn or anti-joint movement, to show zombies' specialness.

At first glance, it's a bit scary, but if you look closely, it's not too disgusting.

Zhou Haowen has worked hard to create a good image of zombies. When writing the script, he also drew the final makeup photos of the zombies.

In the end, the image was finalized with the help of makeup and some special props.

Zhou Haowen even felt that there should be no suspense about the best makeup at the next Golden Rooster Awards.

For nothing else, Zhou Haowen spent a lot of money to hire fifty makeup artists for the crew.

And these zombie actors are not the kind of actors who earn 100 yuan a day in Hengdian. They are all students of Yanjing Dance Academy.

The movements of the zombies in the film are exaggerated, anti-joint movements.

Several professional dance teachers, including modern dancers, were found to design movements for the zombies.

Although Liu Shishi's acting skills have not yet reached perfection, it is just a guest appearance, so there is no need to be so particular.

She passed the second shooting, but unfortunately, she also received a box lunch because of it.

In general, Liu Shishi's acting skills are more suitable for TV series, and it is a bit difficult for movies.

Moreover, over the years, the status of TV series has become increasingly high; after all, it can attract the greatest attention.

Liu Shishi and Zhou Haowen exchanged a look, greeted everyone, and went back to remove their makeup.

The hidden eyes naturally could not escape Tong Liya, who always paid attention to the two.

She was a little jealous.

As for Zhou Haowen, he was a little distracted, but he still had some concentration.

"Okay, get ready and shoot the next scene!" Zhou Haowen said, and the assistant director immediately took action, arranged props, and communicated with the actors.

The next scene was not easy to shoot. I didn't see the male lead walking around and occasionally taking a deep breath.

Yes, Qin Hao was a little nervous. Although it was not his first time filming, he was still nervous.

After all, this was Zhou Haowen's first movie, and he didn't want to mess it up.

Moreover, since the launch of the Secret Corner, his attention has continued to rise, and he is actually under a lot of pressure.

Douyin, Kuaishou, and news pages are clips about climbing the secret corner.

Many scenic spots have posted notices prohibiting Zhang Dongsheng from climbing mountains.

The Internet has even exploded with questions like 'Climbing together?' 'Do I still have a chance?'

It has to be said that Qin Hao brought the character of Zhang Dongsheng to life, so he is under a lot of pressure now.

The male protagonist in the film went through several changes. He was originally selfish, but he changed because of his daughter.

The main scene is on the high-speed rail, and there is nothing to change about the big environment.

So the scene was set up quickly, and everything was ready in just half an hour.

Zhou Haowen sat behind the monitor and made the final arrangements with the actors.

The shooting officially began when Qin Hao, Wu Jing, and Tong Liya appeared on the monitor camera.
