My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 62 Scouting the scenery, was scouted into a scenery!

New Territories, Yuen Long.

Hong Kong Island is not all metropolitan, such as Yuen Long.

In the eyes of Hong Kong Islanders, this place is really a countryside, with many hills and wastelands, barren mountains and wild ridges, and it belongs to the remote countryside.In the concept of money on Hong Kong Island, Yuen Long is very unpopular.

However, such a geographical environment has caused many Hong Kong Island crews to come here to film.Some costume ghost movies and zombie movies like to come here to shoot.For example, "Ghost Fighting Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" were all filmed here.

Back then, Shaw Brothers and TVB filmed live-action costume dramas, and they often came here to show the "millions of miles" of the motherland.Uncle Shao's business policy is to save as much as possible, which Wu Xiaozu agrees with.

Nowadays, the film industry on Hong Kong Island also likes to come to Yuen Long to shoot scenes from the Mainland.Wu Xiaozu simply arranged the crew here for convenience.

It's cheap, affordable and saves money.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, such as Boss Mai from Xinyi City.

.........

The set of "3000 Million Windfall".

There are slide rails on the Yishan Highway, the camera slowly moved to shoot, and some staff held up the radio microphone.

Executive director Wang Zhong is watching from the curtain in front of the monitor together with director Mecca.

"Awei, what do you think?"

Opening the curtain, Mecca rubbed the sheep's stubble at the chin and asked the air beside him, "Do you need another shot?"

"The filming is very good." The line of sight went straight down, uh... It turned out that Zeng Zhiwei was watching together, and said with a hoarse and broken gong with a smile, "This scene is simple, there is no problem!"

The shooting of "3000 Million Windfall" was very efficient. In two hours, seven or eight sets of shots were shot.

This is also because the crew only has a script outline, and there is no detailed script for the scene. Many lines and bridges need three or four screenwriters to change the words on the spot, and write plane paper to Wang Zhong, otherwise the speed will be faster.

Of course, Zeng Zhiwei, the "Bridge King", also contributed a lot.

In this way, shooting can still be so efficient, the problem is that the results are not bad.This really has to admire these filmmakers.

New Art City is good!At least there is a script.

In the 90s, Wang Jing drove out the script for "Once Upon a Time: The Iron Chicken and the Centipede". He rushed to the scene and waited for the screenwriter, writing and filming.

I was shooting this movie in the morning, and in the afternoon I was going to help Zhou Xingchi shoot the film version of "The Deer and the Ding Ding". That film also didn't have a serious script.In the evening, I have to rush to the scene to supervise another movie, and there is still no script.

After "The Lu Ding Ji" sold out, before the next release, the next "Deer Ding Ji 2" has already started shooting, and this speed is appalling.But these films can still sell well, and they still look good in future generations.

Many Hong Kong filmmakers are directed by directors and screenwriters.They rarely have what is called a professional script.

Most of the directors from the bottom of the studio, it is useless if you give him the script, and you have to have a special person read it to him, because he can't read at all.Not to mention the storyboard.

In the hottest 90s, it was often a few people slapped their heads. OK, just shoot this, then you can find Zhou Runfa, he will find Liu Dehua.I'm looking for an investor!
Ridiculous?
But what is even more tragic is that this method has directly extended to the later generations of the mainland film circle.In the first few years when the mainland movie ticket warehouse exploded in later generations, Wu Xiaozu saw many producers, directors, writers, singers and other messy people who played "building blocks" doing this.

When a writer makes a film, the executive director is solely responsible for the filming.He only needs to be in charge of shooting a few sets of "set photos", it's a real thing!
Li Xiaofeng can sell several hundred million, Wu Xiaofan is almost worth several hundred million, plus a beautiful Sun, well, the heroine comes to Da Mi Mi.

OK, this film can sell at least 10 billion, let's press the calculator together.

Oops, there's money to be made.

So good, file a case!

This scene of reincarnation is exactly the Xiangjiang film circle in the 90s.One can imagine the catastrophic consequences of such a bad situation.Anyway, in the 18 years since Wu Xiaozu's rebirth, many "directors" who played tricks for a while are reaping the consequences.

Today's Xiangjiang film circle is very happy.To them, the script doesn't matter at all.This is a trend in the general environment, and it cannot be changed by individuals alone.

If it does appear that you write a script, the film company boss will pay for it, and then play a gambling agreement with you.Immediately after the movie script you created sold at the box office, and then a group of people who recognized their father waved millions of checks to you to buy the script,

You are crazy, neurotic! ?
……

"What was the sound of the explosion over there just now?" Mecca asked the assistant director while sitting in a chair.

"Mai Sir, I've inquired. He said that Antai Film's new film is scouting and entering the crew. The explosion just now is the blasting director at the wiring test point..." The assistant director next to him answered truthfully.

"Antai? Jiang's family?"

Zeng Zhiwei held his head in his hands, leaned on the chair, pulled his sunglasses with his fingers, and looked at the "peer" who was not far away, "Even the blasting guidance started work, what a big scene?"

"Just take a look if you're interested—" Mecca grinned, his eyes serious.Where is the comical bald detective in the movie?

"Okay, then let's take a look." Zeng Zhiwei stood up with a carp, very energetic.

Antai Pictures was not well-known before, and he only knew that it was the industry of Jiang Zuyi of the Hong Kong Island Theatre Association.

But a month ago, "The Butcher in the Rain" broke [-] million at the box office, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in the circle.He also remembered Antai's name

In 1986, there were no more than 30 films with a box office of over 90.00 million so far, and more than [-]% of them were films of the three major companies or their subsidiaries.

Therefore, it is very eye-catching for other companies to produce a new drama with a box office of ten million yuan.

Before this, only New Kunlun and Yindu Institution's "North and South Shaolin" had won 1810 million box office.But that's because it's a companion piece to the phenomenal masterpiece "Shaolin Temple," and no other company's film can make it into the top [-].

A "Rainy Night Butcher" suddenly appeared, and it broke [-] million directly, becoming a dark horse in the off-season at the box office.It's so black that even Xu Laogua's "Knife Horse Dan", a hit that is destined to be in the top ten of the year, did not stop it, which is interesting.

……

The scene of "The Birth of a Word" was scouted, and many staff members, including the camera team, lighting team, set team, and prop team, were busy on the scene.

Since the crew is located here, eating, drinking, sleeping, and even transportation all need to be coordinated in the early stage.As a coordinator, Zu Liyao and others are scheduling the allocation.At the same time, Wu Xiaozu and Huang Yuetai walked on the set for re-investigation.

"Sir Wu, the bridge has a good extension, and the surrounding vision is also very good. Put a big rocker arm. The effect of shooting blasting scenes and action scenes will be very good. The sense of space is full, and the characters can fit the station well. ."

Huang Yuetai led Wu Xiaozu to the bridge, turned over and jumped into the ditch, pointing to the clear river not far away, "I shot the explosion action scene in the afternoon, and the sun was just shining on the water. The reflected scene should be beautiful.

Taking a long-range shot here, adding a filter, and combining with the light, photographing people standing clearly on the bridge will reveal the kind of mutual loneliness and distrust.The shadows projected by these pillars naturally separate the characters..." As he spoke, he put his hands upside down to frame a simple human-hand viewfinder.

"Wu sir, three cameras. One here, one on the bridge. One on the big rocker arm. It's too extravagant..." Huang Yuetai sighed.

There are no big stars in the crew, and the cameras are bigger than the stars.

Luxurious is like eating instant noodles with shark fin, bird's nest premium abalone and geoduck as ingredients.There is a sense of pride in the poor B.

Wu Xiaozu can only experience this luxury.No way, when the contract was signed, Jiang Ershao ordered three sets with a wave of his hand.Afterwards, I asked Wu Xiaozu if he had enough...

Wu Da's "The True Color of Heroes" has a total of two cameras. You can imagine how wonderful the crew of "Preface" is.

Wu Xiaozu crouched down, raised the camera, and imitated the camera to push and pull the lens through the aperture of the camera to try out the imaging effect.

The circle scene is well lit, and the refraction-water wave is reflected in the lens.

Taken obliquely, the bridge is indeed as Huang Yuetai said, and the shadows are very cleverly divided.

"Let Zou Lin adjust the light source and try adding a few lights."

Wu Xiaozu thought about it and added to Fei Cheng and another field manager behind him, "The environment here is empty, and the radio and noise protection should be able to guarantee the effect. If the noise protection jacket is not enough, buy a few more sets... Don't save money like you bought a pressurized valve last time..."

"Good boss."

Fei Cheng said in a big way, "You can feel at ease when I do things."

The crew member also nodded and kept jotting down various points.

Also keep in mind some of the "non-compliant" scenes nearby, and as a field clerk, avoid these places when shooting.For example, when shooting a mainland scene, a billboard in traditional Chinese characters suddenly pops up, and the drama will be played in an instant.

Huang Yuetai couldn't help laughing when he saw Wu Sir lying on the dirt road without any scruples, holding the camera to survey the scene.I haven't seen such a real young director for many years.

"boom--"

There was a small explosion, and when I looked up, there were 6 or 7 young people trying to explode and fire not far away.

He casually patted the soil on his body, "Brother Tai, go take a look?" Wu Xiaozu asked for questions.

The two walked towards the explosion together.

"The wiring cloth is longer, and each car must be bundled with explosion points..."

A young and powerful man instructed the on-site pyrotechnicians to carefully arrange the explosion points.There are trucks unloading scrapped cars at the scene.These scrapped cars are bought at iron prices.One set ranges from 1000-2000, and together it is 3 yuan.

"Is this burst point sharp enough?" Fei Cheng asked curiously, stretching his neck.

The man with the stubborn inch did not turn his head and said, "Do you think 007 was shot? We have to report the amount of explosives used for filming on Hong Kong Island to the police station. I managed to win these powders. I want to bomb it. Fly, you need special skills!"

"Ali, what you said is so good, I don't even know how to applaud you." He saw Deputy Director Li Jiming walking over with a smile, and joked, "Do you want the director to add chicken legs to you when you speak so hard? …”

"Uncle Li, you've worked hard."

Wu Xiaozu greeted with a smile, and turned his head to look at the stern young man who talked about the explosion special effects, "Call me?"

"Brother Zu, my name is Luo Lishang, and Uncle Li introduced me to start work."

"Luo Lishang..." Wu Xiaozu smacked his mouth and shook hands with the other party, "This drama is so rushed, it's hard for you."

Then, he turned to look at the assistant director Li Jiming, Uncle Li, "Remember to put enough food for the lunch boxes for the guys."

"You paid enough wages, of course everyone is willing to work hard." Uncle Li smiled, "Axian, the blasting guide, can play with flying, blasting, and fire. In "Police Story", he also worked as a speeding car stuntman. A very hardworking young boy."

Looking up, he saw that Luo Lixian was observing the scrapped cars that had been unloaded, pointing at the installation of blasting devices.

There are not many action scenes in the movie "Prefix", but the shooting scenes and explosion scenes are worth adding.

In the previous life, Wei Jiahui made the scenes of blasting and gun battles very simple in order to show a unique sense of reality.Wu Xiaozu didn't have to do this.He is backed by the investment from Du Cannon, and he is inhumane, and it doesn't matter how he plays.

Of course Wu Xiaozu is different!
He was poor with a B, and just wanted to get money to hook up women.
