My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 823 Start of "The Thug in Suits"

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

The "Thug in a Suit" crew composed of hundreds of staff members is starting to worship at the [-] (Shatin) studio, and the roast suckling pig, melon and fruit snacks are instantly shared.

Camera and prop crews moved equipment out of several vans.

"Fuck, what is this, it's so heavy..."

"Damn it, you guys just hit the street lightly, if you get bumped, you won't be able to afford to sell you..."

The old man of the production crew kicked the ass of the young man who was stealing and playing tricks, and said with a sneer: "This set of machines was ordered by Wu Sheng himself from North America and Japan. Each lampshade in it costs several hundred dollars, and many of them are from optical manufacturers. Press box bottom equipment..."

What to do with money?
Wu Xiaozu's answer is to first buy some photography 'toys' that he would not have dared to think of in his previous life to play with - to innovate Hong Kong Island's shooting equipment and post-production equipment.

During the post-production of "The Seven Deadly Sins" in North America, Wu Xiaozu asked Aniston, a sweet girl with brown hair and dyed gold silk, to help with the purchase of photographic equipment and post-production equipment. happy……

I feel that the boss values ​​everything from body to soul to personality, and I do my best to help Wu Xiaozu sort out relevant materials in North America.

This small batch of equipment cost almost more than $800 million.However, the purchaser is E7 Culture, which is known as maintaining the leading position in the industry. Externally, it has world-class camera equipment and post-production equipment. E7 Culture itself also has an equipment rental company.

In the workshop, Tsui Hark hungrily flipped through the equipment catalogue, Alyssa, Panavision, RED, Ai Zhanneng... He was envious of each name, the brand was still the same, but the machines were different from each other... ...it's like buying peripherals for your computer...the bottomless pit.

"I use this latest Panavision, and I need to borrow two machines to shoot "Once Upon a Time." Tsui Hark said.

"no problem."

"I'm busy setting up the scene now, and there are still more than a week left for several interior scenes. I want to try a different action design for this play, and I specially invited Liu Jialiang and Liu Jiarong's Liu Jiaban to be in charge. Martial arts instructor..." Tsui Hark smiled and took a pen to draw on the catalog, and ticked off the camera and the gimbal from time to time.

"Liu family class?"

Liang Zu glanced at Mr. Xu who was wearing sunglasses, "Sir Liu's style seems too realistic? I would recommend Yuan Jiaban to you. I have worked with them on the filming of "Dragon Inn" before. I think they are very good at The use of Wia is very good."

Wu Xiaozu knew that Tsui Hark would directly change Huang Feihong's character design, and even make a Hong Kong martial artist directly into a Hong Kong comic style trick...

In her previous life, this play had both good and bad reputation.

The blockbusters are really blockbusters, but they have also suffered huge criticism.Liu Jiarong, the master of Hongquan, even quit within 10 days after joining the group, and directly complained to his brother Liu Jialiang: Huang Feihong came to fight Hongquan, how could he fly around?Quit it, no dignity!
Unfortunately, he couldn't screw Tsui Hark.

Then, Hongquan master Huang Feihong still changed from a "floor player" to a flying and escaping Foshan Wuyingjiao. Later, this genre traveled across the ocean and passed on in an orderly manner. In the NBA, China and the United States have achieved double blossoming. Many representative figures have emerged, one of whom is called 'Stepping King' Uncle Bao, and the other is called 'Chasing Eggs' Green!
According to later generations, the drama "Huang Feihong" is a big IP + magical drama.

In 1949, Hong Kong director Hu Peng made the first film "Huang Feihong" featuring Guangdong folk legend Huang Feihong as the protagonist.

In the following decades, Huang Feihong became a famous brand of Chinese martial arts movies. The Huang Feihong series starring Guan Dexing has shot nearly 80 episodes...it is a masterpiece.

These days, movie fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have deep memories of "Once Upon a Time".

Then again.

It is precisely because there are too many people in the Huang Feihong series of films, so only magic reform is the only antidote to give "Huang Feihong" a new life. Let me ask, besides Wu Xiaozu, there are people who are more skilled in magic reform than Tsui Hark these days. of it? ?
At the same time, after filming "Dragon Inn", Jet Li also needs such an opportunity to consolidate his status as an action star.

"Liu's class is the inheritance of Zhu Rourong, Huang Feihong's direct disciple~" Tsui Hark said confidently, "I think it should be fine."

Ha ha.

Wu Xiaozu did not continue to persuade.

Tsui Hark is well-known in the circle for his willfulness... Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown director Hu Jinquan away angrily.

"Will your "Swordsman" be released in Spring Festival?" Wu Xiaozu asked casually.

"Of course, January 1, the first day of the Lunar New Year, when you are free to attend the premiere." Tsui Hark joked confidently, "Your "Dragon Inn" during the Chinese New Year last year gave me confidence. In the past six months, martial arts Movies have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, but after I watched them, they were all vulnerable..."

"Do you want me to ask Director Hu to sit down and have a drink? You do it like this...the circle is so big, you can't see it when you look down..." Wu Xiaozu said suddenly.

"Hey..." Xu Ke rubbed his teeth, and he also felt that this matter was a bit out of place.

But no way.

He is also the owner of a film company, and he always has to consider the market and commercial elements of the film~~ If he really follows Director Hu's way of grinding... it may not be possible to finish the filming in two or three years.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance, but your play—"

Tsui Hark raised his chin, "Ah Qiang is going to show his strength. I read the script of the movie, and the style is very sharp. Did you draw it?" He looked at Wu Xiaozu firmly.

"I provided ideas and some sketches." Wu Xiaozu smiled without explaining, and looked at the crew not far away.

"Thug in a Suit" has a very strong lineup, not only the actors, but also the industry leaders from the camera to the small workers.Liu Weizhen also invited many people to help by relying on his contacts in the circle over the past few years.

"Is this the confirmation of next year's summer vacation?" Tsui Hark muttered.

Obviously, it is difficult to maximize the benefits of this lineup if it is not placed in the summer file.

"I hear you're working on a movie sketch?"

"It's hard to say, a debt of favor."

Wu Xiaozu shook his head and smiled, seeing Tsui Hark still ticking off, he interrupted quickly: "Does your new visual effects studio have any idea of ​​accepting investment?"

"Point? Do you want to invest money?" Tsui Hark regained his energy.

"How much can you sell it for?"

"..."

Tsui Hark looked directly at Wu Xiaozu speechlessly, and I eagerly set up my own special effects company, you can just invest in it, and you really want to take the blame... Get out.

"Special effects are very expensive, and I am also supporting a special effects team now..."

Tsui Hark thought for a while and said: "If you are interested, I can introduce Zhu Jiaxin to you. He has established a Xiantao Digital and just needs funds. As for my new vision, don't even think about it... I I'm planning to make a comeback in two years... I've filmed half of the story of "New Shushan Swordsman"..."

That's right, then Golden Harvest, which lost money, directly stopped the sequel.

Tsui Hark has a special liking for the world of "Shushan", just like those authors who recently wrote unlimited streams have a relationship with Uncle Jiu every time... More than ten years later, Tsui Hark invested 9000 million yuan to produce a movie "Legend of Shushan", a big loss...

However, although the word-of-mouth box office was bad at the time, the special effects were indeed remarkable.

Zhu Jiaxin~
This person is also a person who is not well-known outside the circle, but a big player in the industry. He can be regarded as a pioneer in computer animation, film digital special effects and post-production in Asia.This is much better than Chao Ting who is in charge of color correction and compositing...

By the way, his younger brother's name is Zhu Jiading, the advertising talent who wrote the classic advertising copy for Tietra, "I don't care about forever, I only care about what I once owned."Of course, his more famous identity is Honggu's husband.

So you can also call Zhu Jiaxin Zhong Chuhong's uncle (bai) son.

"I do have people talking to him." Wu Xiaozu smiled, "But I don't dislike your new vision."

Xiantao Digital was one of the few powerful special effects companies in Hong Kong at that time, and later participated in films such as "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu"... After that, Chinese films began to use Korean special effects companies.Mr. Xu himself is also the major shareholder of Goryeo Special Effects Company.

"..."

Tsui Hark felt Wu Xiaozu's deep malice towards him.

Can you do whatever you want with money? ?

"See if your studio is short of money. If not, I'll let someone poach it... If not, you can ask for a price..." Wu Zuo is not short of money. Xiaozu looked at it with a smile on his face Tsui Hark, issued his own banknote ability.

Hey!
Money can really do whatever it wants!

I'm cooperating with you in filming, and you want to buy my company? It's like, my girlfriend was slept by someone for no reason... Then I called the police and said I don't care... Do you want to shout: there is no Wang Fa? ?

This sad feeling is Tsui Hark's psychological dynamic at this time.

"Grandpa-"

Liu Weiwen and the Korean directors Jiang Digui and Guo Zairong walked in. The cameraman Ao Zhijun and master Huang Yuetai also walked this way.

With Ao Zhijun and Huang Yuetai helping him control the camera lens, Wu Xiaozu felt relieved, both of them are very experienced in commercial productions.The two Goryeo bangs have also experienced several dramas and are qualified for related work.

This configuration is no longer weak.

Wu Xiaozu greeted everyone with a smile, "Turn on?"

"I want you to help lift the red cloth." Liu Weijun nodded.

Wu Xiaozu himself also serves as the producer and supervisor of this drama.In fact, in the film system of Locomotive [-], the producer, producer-centered system and director-centered system have always been in a symbiotic relationship.

Can't tell which is good and which is bad.

However, neither can the director be allowed to shoot randomly, nor can he directly restrain the director's creative passion like the former New Art City.

This is difficult to balance.

Fortunately, now is the peak period of everyone's creation, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

At the scene of the crew, with Wu Xiaozu's announcement, "Suit Thug", a big-budget crime action movie, was officially launched

　Do you have any recommendations for good urban life novels? ?
