My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 427 When the filming was just in time, the video began to be distributed

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Lantau Island, Tai O Town.

On the slide rail, the buttocks of the big-breasted brother sat on the small saddle of the full-size camera track car, and the small seat was tightly covered by the meat.Wearing a coat on his body, it is difficult to conceal the majesty of the two lamps. It really looks like a mountain with peaks on its side, and the two chandeliers are trembling.

The eyes are focused on the camera on the hydraulic head, and the hands are slowly pushed and pulled to control the lens, and the body is turned from time to time.Next to him is a follow-focus teacher who needs to constantly focus on the approaching subjects.

Next to him, Ye Weixin led two field workers, who were sweating profusely, pushing the cart at a constant speed.

Pushing the slide rail is a physically demanding job. In the crew, the field workers of the camera crew are most likely to be scolded when pushing the rail. Every cameraman has his own rhythm, and the pushing and pulling are different.

This is why the general crew chooses a camera director, and the cameraman has several assistants.

The cumbersomeness of the film camera is doomed to be a technical job that requires a lot of work.Unlike later generations, if you press a small gimbal slide under the camera, you can still shoot large-scale movies.

The threshold for photographers is constantly getting lower.But good videographers have become rare.If a videographer is not creative, he is really no different from a salted fish!
In the 80s, there were not many tracks and cranes used by crews on Hong Kong Island. When Uncle Long was filming the crew of "Police Story", he even borrowed a crane platform to shoot.Naturally, there are no electronically controlled railcars or rocker railcars, so it can only rely on manpower.

The day when film became an industry, it was accompanied by the application of rail cars. Now in Hollywood, the technology of rail cars is quite mature.Through the skills of the photographers, it is possible to shoot high-quality pictures with a full sense of space.

During this time period, "007", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "Die Hard" all used electronically controlled railcars.

From here, we can see the industrial gap between Hong Kong films and Hollywood films.This is not something that can be smoothed out by the efforts of one individual.

It has nothing to do with hard work, but with national power.

In "Carmen in Mong Kok", there were not so many scenes that required rail cars. After all, Liu Weijun and Ao Zhijun, two masters in the industry, are here.But... Who made Wu Xiaozu, the drama tyrant, be the producer and the leading actor?

"God of Gamblers I: War Now" involves a lot of commercial elements, and the hand-cranked camera is a joke for such a big production.

Went to North America.

Even if he didn't enter Hollywood, the professional shooting team he hired still made Wu Xiaozu suddenly enlightened.In Wu Xiaozu's heart, this "God of Gamblers" will have a chance to become "Iron Man 1024" of 1 Locomotive Film Company.Although it is impossible to compete with Hollywood in terms of industrial special effects, Hong Kong films are strong in action scenes.

For handheld shooting, it is more suitable for the display of personal style, more flexible and unconstrained.For example, "The Birth of a Prefix", which was rated as the top ten Chinese-language works of the 80s by the latest issue of "Film Biweekly", and "Suspect", the peak level of blue and red tones in this era, are all handheld cameras.

But for a commercial masterpiece, the rocker slide car and the full-size camera slide are absolutely indispensable components.Wu Xiaozu also borrowed "Carmen in Mong Kok" to do some experiments.

It's like Jiang Wen used "Looking for a Gun" to experiment with his own ideas.The last smile, Jiang Wen is so f*cking!

Wu Xiaozu is a businessman, but also a director.

In the previous life, Spielberg was a director in front of the camera, and a complete businessman behind the camera.

As a director, Spielberg filmed "Syndra's List", and for this, he had to compromise with Universal, and this is how he directed "Jurassic Park".

At the same time, he is also a pure businessman.

As a director, he wants to shoot many movies that he wants to shoot, just like Wu Xiaozu chose to shoot "Suspect" and "The Birth of a Prefix".

However, as a businessman, Wu Xiaozu definitely wants to make profits.

It is precisely because Wu Xiaozu knew that literary films are an indispensable part of Chinese films, so Wu Xiaozu "passed the pains" to introduce Deng Guangrong to Hou Xiaochen, so that he could shoot "Love in the Wind and Dust".However, on the businessman's side, you can't know that you are losing money, Wu Xiaozu still jumped into the pit, right?

If Wu Xiaozu had this kind of gene, then he might as well bring Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaochen, Yang Dechang, and Xu Anhua under his banner!How utopian?
In a word, filmmakers are never pure!

People are not one-sided animals, and multi-faceted nature prevents you from setting a person with a simple label.

The world is not black and white, let alone bright.

It's not that Wu Xiaozu looks down on literary films, nor does he look down on commercial films.

However, if you want to become bigger and stronger, and go in the long run, commercial films are undoubtedly more suitable!You can't say that Uncle Long's influence is less than Wang Jiawei's, right?Also...he is annoyed that some people in the cloak of literature and art use their status in film history to make trouble.

The earth shadow people you admire are so literary and self-indulgent, why do you care about these?Excuse me, is this the same as the box office ranking?

on site.

Wang Jiawei folded his arms and looked at Wu Xiaozu with a constipated expression——

"In terms of color, this scene should be warmer. Ah Zhen's vest is red. The hero's shorts are another color. There is a clear distinction between warm and cold.

The style of the whole drama is the colorful heartbeat, and the blue and red originally symbolize the pure love between Azhen and Azu.But blue and red are not pure blue and red, they have to echo each other..."

"I think it would be better for this scene to be quieter." Wang Jiawei interjected.

"No! This scene can be more lively. The relationship between only two people in the whole play makes the audience feel the most warm.

This kind of warmth and liveliness can also highlight the tragic and tragic after the plot! "Wu Xiaozu vetoed Wang Jiawei's opinion neatly, without leaving any embarrassment.

In later generations, many people said that the difference between Zhang Jiajia and Wang Jiawei was thousands of Zhang Yibai.So now, between Wang Jiawei and Wu Xiaozu, there should be a lot of Liu Weizhen!

"so……"

Wang Jiawei spoke up, and before he finished speaking, Wu Xiaozu pointed the light group not far away with his hand holding the cigarette, "You must pay attention to the lighting. In this pseudo-natural light, you must pay attention to the contrast of hue, saturation, and contrast of warm and cold."

"..."

Wang Jiawei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Are you talking about being a bully?But he is really professional, his logic is clear, and he can't even make an excuse... Then you have to admit that the other party's vision is really unique!

Official shooting.

Qiu Shuzhen was wearing a V-neck vest, a denim short skirt with hips, two big white legs were exposed, and her hair was tied behind her, pure and sexy.

With her little hands behind her back, Ah Zhen kicked forward with her fair calves, bowed her head and pursed her lips, blushing, and whenever she raised her head, she looked lovingly at Azu who was wearing shorts and a vest carrying a wooden box beside her.In these few scenes, both of them can be regarded as out-of-season shooting.

Last night, she went back to the same happiness she had when she was 13 years old. Today, she became more relaxed in her performance and went straight to battle in a vacuum.

Compared with Manshen's figure eight, Qiu Shuzhen's is undoubtedly more rounded.

Small and white rabbit, white and white again, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, so cute!
"What are you laughing at?"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Azu, who was looking at the two wooden boxes of chicken wings over his shoulder, arched Azhen with his shoulders.

"No." Ah Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, pushing her shoulders back.

Under Yu Yang, the two laughed and played with each other like children.

"It's so heavy, your boss told you to carry it alone?"

"Yes."

"Tell him, if he uses you like this again, be careful I'll blow his head off! One chicken wing and one hammer!" Azu carried the wooden box on one shoulder, and wrapped his arms around Azhen with the other hand, hanging down——

"Crazy line..."

"Yeah? Are you calling me crazy?"

This section is a pure background shot, and the two people use small interactive movements to enliven the whole picture.

Ah Zhen playfully hooked his feet back, while Ah Zu fit his character very well. His other hand came out from his waist and went directly to the bottom of the short skirt, making Ah Zhen fisted and hammered him coquettishly.

When young men and women are passionately in love, if the man is not careless, it is really... Either the man is a thief, or the woman is a thief.Otherwise, the two of them won't even be friends who take a bath together...friends!

"It doesn't matter, I don't plan to do it anyway."

"No? Why?"

"I want to go to Kowloon to find a job."

Ah Zhen dodged with a smile, turned around playfully, and looked back at A Zu with pure eyes.

"Okay, it's convenient for me, move in and accompany me." Azu smiled.

Ah Zhen turned around again, his eyes were bright, and he smiled frankly, "Don't say it a second time, I will really take it seriously next time!" Stopped, stared at Azu quietly, his expression calmed down, and said seriously: "I I'm not joking. If I go out, I won't come back." As he spoke, he brushed his hair lightly, and glanced at Azu with a slight smile——

When "Carmen in Mong Kok" was filming, more than a dozen video studios in Hong Kong suddenly cut the ribbon and opened for business.

At the same time, "Rainy Night Butcher", "The Birth of a Prefix" and the recently released "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" all appeared in video rental stores.

Many off-duty white-collar workers have discovered this situation when they stay in the record store.

The hottest thing is the release of these more than a dozen video halls.

Many students wearing school uniforms rushed into the video hall to buy tickets to watch it. "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" is a restricted movie. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to watch it in theaters, but the video hall is not prohibited!
In the past, under the control of theater supervisors, it was difficult for minors to get away with it, but Cai Zhiming directly ignored these and directly violated the regulations!
The sudden appearance of three-level videotapes on the market has directly attracted the attention of many men.

Countless men toss and turn in record stores and video halls. When they finally leave, they choose to review the history of the Tang Dynasty.

In just a few days, the video tape became popular throughout Hong Kong Island, and many video tape owners urged Huanyu International to distribute the goods quickly.

The videotape was sold out for a while!

This is the first time a record store has seen such a scene!
At the same time, the popularity of the video hall also gave many clubs an opportunity.At this time, Hong Kong Island is not like the mainland, and there is not so much difference in theater ticket prices.So not many people would be willing to choose the video hall.

Therefore, the video halls on Hong Kong Island are not as ubiquitous as those in the mainland of later generations.

But the appearance of the third-level movie suddenly broke this tranquility!
Many people suddenly realized that salty wet film is the correct way to open the video room! ! ! !
