Chapter 132 Young and Dangerous, a Heroic Romantic Movie
PS: Please recommend tickets and monthly tickets!
Causeway Bay, the shooting site of "Young and Dangerous".

With a big ass face on his face, Hou Suqian touched the Panavision camera with a 35MM French "Ai Zhanneng" lens with affection, and his face was full of envy.

This kind of envy made Liu Weichen stare at him nervously, for fear that Hou Xiaochen's fat hands with round short fingers would touch him randomly!

He is distressed!
Panavision cameras, excluding lenses, cost around HK$170-300 million.However, under normal circumstances, this company only rents and does not sell.The rental fee is also expensive, about 5-8 a week.

Even if the shooting cycle is fast, it will take about two weeks.That is to say, this movie needs between 10 and 15 yuan only for the cost of equipment.

The lens of Ai Zhanneng costs 16000 Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not as exaggerated as the 16 lens of Hollywood "Terminator", it is enough.

A camera with a rental fee of 3000 is naturally different from a camera with a rental fee of 50000.

The picture quality of "Rainy Night Butcher" has some problems in terms of resolution, sharpness and distortion.Wu Xiaozu can't change this.

That's why Wu Xiaozu chose to shoot a movie with "Lin Guoyun" Liang Jiahui as the main focus.

Cheap machines and lenses have small 'image fields' and 'image circles'.

"Rainy Night Butcher" has a lot of dark corners around the edges, which is naturally a shortcoming in the film.

The vignetting is a slight black circle, but Wu Xiaozu skillfully used this kind of black circle at the beginning, which increased the atmosphere of the mirror image.

In visual habits, when the surroundings are darkened, the visual center of the human eye will naturally stay at the center, which is Liang Jiahui.

So "Rainy Night Butcher" has a lot of close-ups, and the atmosphere is very dignified. This is Wu Xiaozu's shortcomings into advantages.Focusing all the audience's attention on Liang Jiahui can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Liang Jiahui's superb acting skills, not only has his own strength, but also Wu Xiaozu's credit.Anyone in the industry can see this.That's why this play has attracted the attention of many people in the industry, who have come to realize his "The Birth of a Prefix".

Director Wu is serious about making movies other than conspiracies and tricks!

In terms of movie lenses, as the saying goes, romantic mirrors are used for magic mirrors, corrupt dramas use British mirrors, and teacher Guanxi uses moral mirrors!This is knowledge point.

What they have in common is high resolution.

This is equally important for the movie big screen and female stars.The difference between Li Zong X and Mr. Chen is not only the technique, but also the lens...

In later generations, many people felt that if Wu had cut a few more catties of Tsui Hark's big head and used a mirror to shoot "The True Colors of a Hero", the effect would have been better.

Then Wu's big head listened to it, and filmed "Red Cliff".Everyone thought that he interpreted "Red Cliff" with violent aesthetics, showing a sense of romance and epic that is not inferior to that of Zhang Qi.

Unexpectedly, the final impression left by this movie is only the anger of "Come on! Come on! Come on!"...

Later, IMAX technology was used to shoot "Taiping Wheel", and the post-production company also spent huge sums of money to select the post-production special effects production teams of "Titanic" and "Avatar".

He wanted to be the Cameron of the Chinese-speaking circle, but accidentally became Anthony...

Don't think that you can make a movie after you are born again. If you are so capable, why don't you take a photo of "The True Colors of a Hero" with your mobile phone?Wu Yusen was also scolded for filming "Manhunt"...

Story is important, technology is equally important!
For example, Wang Zuchen's body and appearance are all top-notch, but the two AOE damage skills of Thousand Magic Tongue Skill and Rabbit Tooth Scrape are the root causes of Director Wu's surrender every time.

Rebirth is nothing special!The most important thing is that the brain does not hit the ground first.

So if you watch movies with low cost, they can especially show the acting skills of actors.

Because of the small cost itself, the image quality is sloppy, the resolution at the edge of the screen drops rapidly, and the surrounding pixels are all squished. If the director doesn’t focus on the actors, then he will really wait for the street...

This is why comedies and horror films are so popular with small costs.

"Young and Dangerous" cannot be filmed on a small budget.

The biggest limitation of framing in Causeway Bay and Wanchai is that apart from the heavy traffic and the difficulty of shooting, the most important thing is the complex and unstable light.At this time, I used the rental equipment of 3000 Hong Kong dollars to shoot, and took jujube pills.

Wu Xiaozu is picky, but he is very serious about making movies.

He recognizes himself!

Knowing what is the capital of being able to chat and laugh with Xiang Sheng.

In addition to being handsome, it is natural that making movies can make money!

...

"Romanticize the hero?"

Liu Weifan and Qiu Litao frowned and looked at Wu Xiaozu, not understanding the meaning of what he said.

At the moment when gangster movies are romanticized, Wu Yusen's "The True Colors of a Hero" has just touched the beginning. The bridge scene in "The Birth of a Prefix" can be regarded as a master of the aesthetics of violence.But the whole movie can be said to be dramatized, but the characters are absolutely not romanticized by heroes!

The films made by the two Hong Kong directors of later generations are very heroic and romantic. Du Qifeng, who made modern dramas, and Tsui Hark, who made costume dramas.

"That's right!"

Wu Xiaozu took the storyboard and explained, ""Young and Dangerous" itself describes brotherhood and passionate youth. Whether it is Chen Haonan or Pheasant, they are all romantic heroes..."

"The romanticization of the mirror image in the movie can better highlight this kind of individual heroism that is different from Zhang Xi's style." Hou Xiaochen interjected lightly from the side.

yo?

Qiu Litao and Liu Weiyu looked at each other, feeling that they had underestimated this local bumpkin!Hou Xiaochen is quite famous in the film festival at the moment, but in the commercial film circle of Hong Kong Island, it doesn't work well...

Around 2000, Xiaogangpao, the only commercial director in the mainland who sold money, was not regarded by the 86th-rate directors on Hong Kong Island, let alone Hou Xiaochen in [-]?
I forgot to mention that there is a director in the later Chinese-speaking circle who made his works extremely poetic and romantic, and that person is called Hou Pei...Hou Xiaochen!

Wu Xiaozu will not be so extreme, and he will not choose to take a damn long shot for romanticization.

The reason why he is romanticized is that he is "star-making"!
This kind of romantic movie style full of brotherhood and passionate youth is very suitable for promoting stars.That's right, star!

Wu Xiaozu's customs are vulgar and elegant.Vulgar, but also vulgar so elegant!For example, brushing your teeth with Lao Wang.How many girls are willing to swallow toothpaste?

Lao Wang got used to it under Wu Xiaozu's elegant comfort... This is the elegance of Yamaidie!

shooting scene.

Roy Jian——

After Luo Dong's two films, he also had some thoughts about the identity of the film actor.After taking the leading role this time, I also made up my mind to enter the entertainment industry.

However, the name Luo Dong is somewhat "notorious" in Causeway Bay, so Wu Xiaozu waved his big hand and gave him a stage name: Luo Yijian.

Liu Furong, Fang Shilong (Chen Gangsheng), Zhang Fazong... At this time, it is popular to change names in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong Island.

"Brother Zu... What is the origin of Luo Yijian's name?" Sister Shao asked suspiciously.

"It's the so-called strength of Yi who can walk and fly! It symbolizes that when Ah Dong recognizes himself, it is very easy to do things, and he can get better and better in the entertainment industry!" Wu Xiaozu explained with a secretive smile.

Sister Shao's head was pounding like garlic, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Therefore, it is logical for Dong Ge to transform into Luo Yijian in an instant.

Looking at the happy scene, Wu Xiaozu touched his nose.

　Almost missed it... Drive back with your life to code...
