My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 698 "Se7en" begins filming

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
The moonlight hangs high, and the shadows are full of people.

In a corner of the Kowloon Walled City, high-power lights on the construction site are elevated. This is where the crew of "Se7en" is located.

"How do you feel?"

Gu Changwei, with drooping bags under his eyes and a look of insufficient kidney water, squatted on the ground with his foot in the hole, pouted and messing with Zhang Yimou of Panavision.

Seeing Wo Dajin's kick, Gu Changwei was so frightened that he hurried to help him, "Damn it! Don't hit the machine!"

"Thief, beep!"

Startled by a staggering little schemer, he quickly protected the machine without thinking.

"Melon skin, scare me!"

Zhang Yimou was wearing a dark green multifunctional vest and a fisherman hat engraved with the word 'Se7en'. When he looked up, he found that it was Gu Changwei. He was relieved and touched the machine fondly. His face was full of ravines. There was a simple shyness like an old boy on the face, and the mouth was fragrant: "You beep beep beep beep, this machine is so beep beep beep!"

"This machine is said to be very expensive to rent. Counting the lens, it can be paid 4 to 5 dollars a week. It is almost as expensive as a diamond-encrusted beep beep..." Gu Changwei touched the machine obsessively, Zhang Yimou next to him Hastily reached out and knocked off his claws.

"You loose piece, don't touch it~ I just figured it out. It's much better than those things we had in Zhu Xinzhuang when we were in class. Xiying Studio wanted to provide this to me..."

"Then maybe "Red Sorghum" won't be able to produce that kind of effect~" Gu Changwei rolled up the bags under his eyes and joked, "Only the earthen guns and earthen cannons have the original roughness—by the way, what about you and Xiao Gong?" How is it?"

When talking about Gong Li, Zhang Yimou wiped his hands indiscriminately with his green vest.

"A child has no mother, it's a long story."

"I'm not talking about you. Xiao Gong really has a desperate energy. This kind of temperament is a rare muse! I know that many directors appreciate her very much. You too...you say you...can't make a deal Benevolence and righteousness are here, take your time."

Gu Changwei looked at Zhang Yimou's unkind expression, so he swallowed the principle of education and waved his hand, "Let's go, it's on over there. Director Wu is very strict with the crew. I didn't expect you, Zhang, to be condescending." Come on as an art director and cameraman."

"Hey, Lao Chen is still a popular director. Isn't he always serving the people?"

"People in Hong Kong Island don't pay attention to this, they serve the RMB!"

"You don't help Lao Chen take pictures? Come here when you have time..."

"Why don't I come to see you~ How are you and Lao Yang talking about filming a city-themed film? How are you preparing? If you don't have enough investment, you can talk to Director Wu..."

"That's not necessary. I also have investment here. It just so happened that this time I also followed Director Wu to learn the techniques of urban themes... Wait...Old Chen, you are a bastard~" Zhang Yimou realized halfway, and raised his head, Just in time, I saw Gu Changwei standing on his feet, stretching his neck and staring straight at the distance, his face full of obsession.

...

"When Sir Wu was on the set, he didn't have high requirements for life, but he was easily obsessed when he started filming. He was very angry, and he couldn't disturb his thoughts when he was reporting on the company's affairs. Remember to go to the tea at night to get the good pears Soup and other good soup for reducing fire.

I know you two don't speak Cantonese well, that's okay, it doesn't hurt to communicate in English.Listen more, do more, do more and talk less.

Sir Wu likes women with tight mouths.It is a great opportunity for you to be her assistants now.I hope you can have your own play.I will help you contact the script in the company.Having the opportunity will also allow you to increase the chances of performing and exercising..."

Secretary Li, with a hot figure, was wearing a hip-covering skirt and a small suit, and a white shirt with a large chest.The two beautiful legs are covered with light black crystal thin silk, and there is a beautiful temperament of a royal sister in every gesture.

Followed by the sweet and innocent Jiang Wenli holding a small notebook and the bright and sunny Xu Qing, the two girls are fortunate to be exchange students between Beijing Film Academy and 5 Locomotive. The tentative exchange time is [-] months.

The course was delayed for about two months, and then it happened to be summer vacation.There is special approval from Beijing Film Academy on the course.

At this time, Hong Kong films were indeed the center of Chinese films today.

Ever since Wu Xiaozu made the argument between commercial films and art films at the film academy, the leaders of the film academy themselves have actually reflected on this point.

At this time, the works of the fifth-generation directors actually basically refer to the shooting methods of commercial films.

"Red Sorghum" is a typical Hollywood commercial film shooting method.

This opportunity is precious to both women.

Especially being able to serve under Wu Xiaozu's seat, I don't know how many people are envious.Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Zhang Yimou, and Gong Li have all worked with Wu Xiaozu.In particular, Gong Li is not only popular in the mainland, but also attracts many fans in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.

At this time, this kind of outlandish prestige is considered to be a credit to the country!
The opportunity to shoot Hong Kong films is also rare.Many girls gave up "Dream of Red Mansions" directly in order to be close to filmmakers on Hong Kong Island, and Le Yun in order to follow Luo Lie, which gave little Deng Zi a chance.

This kind of thing is not an isolated case.

At this time, no one thinks that we will surpass the economic prosperity of Hong Kong Island, let alone the United States.The top talents in countless universities squeezed their heads to study abroad... squandered the biggest opportunity that could change life circumstances and class composition, and chose to wash dishes on the other side of the ocean.

So it will take two years for a classic TV series "People from the Imperial Capital in New York" to appear.

Changes in the world are really impermanent!

"Thank you Nina~" Carrier Xu thanked with a smile.

"My work will focus on the company's business, and I will selectively hand over some personal matters to you. Come on, Sir Wu is a person who likes to give newbies a lot." Li Zhi smiled slightly.

Now, she has been promoted to the secretary of the chairman of the [-] Group, and has been promoted to a senior manager of the company.The focus of work is no longer handling personal affairs for Wu Xiaozu.On the contrary, she needs to focus more on the company's affairs and operations.

She is also setting up her own secretariat to help her handle the work, with more than 6 people.The work of each company requires the secretariat to handle and communicate in a division of labor.

If it wasn't because Xu Qing and Jiang Wenli were personally arranged by Wu Xiaozu to his secretariat, she would definitely not attach such importance to it.

With her current status below Wu Xiaozu's, she can't be discussed as a mere secretary!

This taste is much better than being a star!

To be a celebrity and serve a group of people, to be a secretary you only need to serve one person well!Of course, a stick of one model is easy to serve!

╮(╯▽╰)╭!
As for whether the two girls would replace her... She wasn't worried about that.Although Wu Xiaozu has a widow's disease, his mind is probably more cold-blooded than anyone else.Take a closer look at the most recent stake analysis.

He didn't split the shares just because of who slept with him.Even far inferior to the company's executives.

She also knows that if she maintains such a status.You can't win the so-called favor simply by beep beep beep.This man is too sensible.

His nominal girlfriend, Wang Zuchen, doesn't even have a single stake!

Obviously, in his heart, business is business!
She even vaguely guessed that Wu Xiaozu seemed to be avoiding the form of a mom-and-pop store.Therefore, she basically gave up her delusional idea of ​​seizing the position of the Eastern Palace.

She didn't know if Wang Zuzhen could see clearly...

……

The crew turned on the machine and worshiped God, and a series of series was familiar.

The staff set up the shooting scene step by step, and the lighting team slowly set up the light source under the supervision of the whole crew.

No matter how fast they are, they will be urged to slow down by other departments!There is no way, the lighting team is so sad.

Especially the fact that most of the scenes in this drama are cloudy and rainy.This required a lot of lighting design.

In a dark, damp and cramped room, the props group was also fiddling with enthusiasm.

Wu Xiaozu and the photography team stood in the house, discussing the placement of the camera positions and the difficulties of shooting.

In the faintly visible light, the walls of the living room were stained and stained, and the porch was dark and dilapidated.

Paint and plaster peeled off rain-soaked walls and ceilings, spilling over dirty tiled floors,
The word "Gluttony" stands on the doorway, and this room is where "Gluttony" was filmed.The Seven Sins, each place has a symbolic ceremony, which requires different environments to shoot.

"Now on the actor's side, we have found a special type of actor to play the dead body, but because you have strict requirements for the environment, the actor's side may need to pay more. At the same time, the makeup artist is also doing makeup for him, including the wire on the ankle. The skin and flesh turned purple and swollen... As for the cockroaches you want, they are being photographed and collected. The Department of Health also sends people to deal with them at any time." Mai Zhaohui said.

The scene of gluttony is brutal and disgusting.

In other words, the style of "Se7en" itself is very cruel, and each of them needs to show the evil of people, so as to set off the atmosphere of the whole play.

"Get it done as soon as possible." Wu Xiaozu hummed softly, squatted down to look at the colors in Du Kefeng's lens, and frowned, "The light is too flat and there is no sense of hierarchy. The light source in this room will be very dark, so I'm afraid it won't work."

The camera is looking up at the table in front of it, and a prop group is placing a plate full of pasta, with a lot of tomato sauce squeezed on it.

"The red color of ketchup is the color I specially choose. The representative color of the gluttony of the Seven Sins is red. This does not need to be seen by the audience, but it must be expressed implicitly. However, too obvious light sources will destroy the red color. The overall tone, it is difficult to express the dark feeling I want to see." Wu Xiaozu explained to everyone.

Each of the seven crimes has a so-called "supporting color".Wu Xiaozu didn't want to show this color to the audience directly.So vulgar!

Maybe this color will be hidden within a frame, so that the flash will make many people's brains seem to react, but it will not affect the overall viewing effect.At the same time, the requirements for the viewfinder of the camera are also higher.

In later generations, the easter eggs that Nolan buried in "Memento" are really amazing.

The flash of a human face turned the story upside down.Of course, not seeing it will not affect the viewing effect.

This is not necessary in terms of color, but it takes a lot of effort to adjust the aperture of the camera.
