Chapter 659 Men Have Bottom Lines
Chapter 659 Men Have Bottom Lines
But this also fully shows that Brother Long is impatient.
A movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars went to Citigroup to shoot, and all the actors who appeared on the scene were foreigners.
The team was filmed in October and started in November. It has been in full swing for a month now.
The huge amount of filming funds spent every day like flowing water will put the pressure on most filmmakers.
Except for a very few big hearts who wear sunglasses and waste investors' money, even Brother Long will panic.
After all, he came from a poor background and never let go of napkins. The last time he filmed Operation Flying Eagle, he took a new approach to filming around the world, but because of the high cost, he quietly returned to filming the lower-cost Police Story series.
We must know that no matter how good the box office of "Operation Eagle" is, the urban consumer market of HK with a population of several million cannot support a movie with an investment of tens of millions and over [-] million.
The mainland market is huge, but it has not let go of it. It is all pirated and the video halls cannot receive money.
He is already regarded as a very ambitious Hong Kong and Taiwan movie star, hoping to break out of this slap-point place.
In his last life, he went to Hollywood in his 40s to open up the situation by accident. This time, Jing Xiaoqiang rallied and rushed out again.
What the hell are you having so much fun in the coke basin!
Not anger, but jealousy!
Look at the crew here, with four girls, two of them are so young...
At first glance, Sudou Saki is indeed as petite as Li Ji.
But it was indeed useful for Jing Xiaoqiang to bring them here.
He saw Jean Renault at a glance, with drooping eyelids of reticence, and immediately signaled Sudeng to take Du Ruolan and Li Ji over to talk.
The killer's script has been written, very detailed.
Any student majoring in film and television drama can memorize the plot and dialogue of "The Killer Is Not So Cold" with relish, and majors in acting, script, and choreography can even write a large thesis in their respective fields.
It's that classic.
Show the script to Renault first.
In fact, Jing Xiaoqiang knew very well that the talented screenwriter and director of this movie were all in one, and they didn't care at all when they made this movie. They made a relatively simple movie just to raise money.
Even the script and the dialogue were completed within a month and then shot quickly.
It's as if he accidentally planted willows and willows into shades. He has made countless classic films in his life, but the most talked about and known to the world is this commercial film that was launched in a hurry just to make quick money.
Sudeng's English pronunciation is more funny in North America, but Du Ruolan is more standard. Li Ji just stands there as a pendant and doesn't know why.
Pan Yunyan happily took a group photo of Jing Xiaoqiang and Brother Long, and then ran over to take pictures of the sisters dealing with Wai Guoren.
Then Jing Xiaoqiang leaned behind the monitor to watch the video tape captured by the live camera.
Digital video cameras will not enter the market for more than ten years, and all the films used in filming cannot be viewed on the spot.
Except for a very small number of directors and cameramen who are very confident and awesome, most of them will use ordinary small video cameras to take a rough picture simultaneously.
Jing Xiaoqiang instantly forgot about the killer over there, and completely immersed himself in the picture.
The shooting angle may not be completely synchronized with the film camera, but the feeling of fighting, action, dialogue, etc. can be seen.
Jing Xiaoqiang frowned quickly.
Pulling the outdoor pine wood director's chair and sitting next to him, Brother Long immediately felt frightened and uneasy.
After he became famous, he took selfies and self-directed. Even if he hired a director, it was a cooperative relationship. Everyone discussed and collided with each other to create more sparks.
But the dominance is still in his hands, and he will never let others influence his style.
This is becoming a boss, a mentality created by successful movies with high box office.
He will not easily trust other people's instructions.
But Jing Xiaoqiang is special.
He wrote the outline of the script and even the English dialogue, which is full of Hollywood flavor, which is a completely different cultural expression.
Brother Long, who has already failed once in Hollywood, is trying his best to adapt to Citi's style.
In fact, this movie is very routine. The glamorous secret agent mission transaction is thrilling and exciting. Because the traitor failed, all his companions were killed, and the protagonist was hunted down by all parties. Helping others, and finally turning the tide and winning in the game in the game and in the set.
It is definitely two different things for the same set of scripts to be filmed by different people.
In North American theaters where new movies are released every day, the same story can hit the street, and some people can tell it into a classic.
If you write a script and you are sure to be popular, that is layman obscenity.
A movie is a comprehensive industrial artwork. The director, screenwriter, photographer, starring role, and even extras, every detail is in place to create success.
And even if it succeeds, it may be well-received or not.
There is a lot of metaphysics.
In HK, Brother Long is already 100% confident.
But North America panicked and didn't dare to say anything, watching Jing Xiaoqiang's brows getting deeper and deeper quietly.
He glanced at the picture on the monitor and was satisfied.
The director was also there, sitting on the other side, and his expression was a little bewildered.
After more than ten minutes, Jing Xiaoqiang paused and took off the monitor earphones: "Two big questions, first, can you be more serious, and don't be confused, sneering, or dazed at every turn, the protagonist of this agent should be shrewd and powerful, one in a million Absolutely control the situation, just like Chu Liuxiang and Shen Lang in Gu Long's movies, no matter what kind of setbacks and traps he encounters, he can turn the corner, let the audience form this absolute sense of expectation and trust..."
This is indeed a difference. Brother Long's previous roles were mostly street people. Even policemen and secret agents can be seen everywhere on the streets, and it is easy for the audience to substitute.
But this movie must show the absolute elite!
To be precise, Brother Long is not as handsome as the original Brother Cruise, he is full of coolness, and he still has a playful smile in the scenes he has filmed.
Dissolve the thrilling depression without a trace!
Brother Long didn't argue: "Continue..."
Jing Xiaoqiang discussed the second point: "The fighting is too long. I know that acrobatic fighting is your signature, but the proportion of this process should be compressed. The audience is not watching you fight for several minutes in a row, but you have to solve a fight within tens of seconds. , especially your kind of furniture city fight, it's too long and the rhythm is not bright enough!"
Brother Long also frowned, and Jing Xiaoqiang felt resistance: "On these two points, I have basically settled the North American theater circuit. The film distributor will come to visit the set in a few days to exchange ideas. If you change it or not, most of them will be able to do it." Through reaching an agreement, but whether it can be accepted by North American audiences, it is up to you to make a choice."
This is still a 50-year-old man doing things. He doesn't force him to do things, but he puts all his interests on the table.
Brother Long was helpless: "The last time I worked with Hollywood, I hated their dictatorship. This is the style I have formed now. Without my own style, what will the audience see?"
Jing Xiaoqiang didn't just ask questions, but also came up with solutions: "You have your own style, I don't interfere in the shooting process, it doesn't even matter if you don't change it, but I hope you have this string in your mind. I have repeatedly emphasized to you that the sense of technology and the sense of thrill and excitement are the elements of a modern and international new action film. All your characteristics can be integrated into it, so pay attention to emphasizing these two points at all times..."
"But now it's downplayed. Too many fights are too long, and the sense of technology is downplayed. I designed so many small details such as chewing gum bombs, ball pen syringes, etc., all to highlight the sense of technology. As a result, once you have more fighting scenes Just dilute the theme, I didn't say no, reduce, compress the essence!"
Brother Long muttered: "If it's missing, how can I smell like me?"
Jing Xiaoqiang earnestly said: "What is your biggest selling point? All kinds of stunts are thrilling and exciting! This is our solution, compress the fight, the expression is chic and calm, the kind that is not in a hurry when the landslides and landslides are in front of you, and then use special effects Prominent... Speaking of which, the solution to your few stunts has also come out. I have reached an agreement with Sunny Films to set up a computer post-production company worth 4000 million US dollars, so you don't have to do the hard work yourself. desperately."
Brother Long was completely stunned: "How about computer post-production stunts?"
There have been instances of computers being involved in color grading and such, but special effects are definitely still rare.
Jing Xiaoqiang immediately explained on the spot.
The movie's biggest stunt is the final scene on a high-speed bullet train, which has Raynor flying a helicopter to pick up the villain...
In fact, they have already played a similar helicopter train scene in "Super Cop". When they saw the script, Brother Long and they first thought that it was a bit repetitive, which was nothing new and challenging.
But after watching the development of the plot later, I couldn't help but lie.
In "Super Cop", Brother Long hangs on the rope ladder of the helicopter, and the villain drags the rope ladder in the helicopter to hit the billboard. He is stunned to hit a gap with a real person hanging on the billboard tens of meters high.
Even if there is a stand-in, Brother Long hangs himself at a height of dozens or hundreds of meters, hanging under the helicopter and floating!
Just thinking about it makes one's liver tremble.
But in fact, with all the effort, the picture is still not exciting enough.
The high-priced shots that are repeatedly presented from different angles are actually a bit petty.
It's like buying a Mercedes-Benz and having to get out of different doors.
Here is the scene where the high-speed train rushes into the tunnel, and the helicopter flies into the tunnel with all its might, and the propeller will explode and kill him even if the propeller is slightly scratched. Renault even uses the paddle blades to beat and cut the male lead...
It is a typical case that if you don't work, you will die. The villains all die because of talking too much and playing too much.
But the audience likes to watch this kind of close feeling.
Jing Xiaoqiang sketched it in the notebook: "Make a fake car head, you lie on it, fix a helicopter at this angle and turn the paddles slightly, the background is all green curtains, and the surrounding high-speed dynamics are made in the computer. As for The feeling that you are being blown by high-speed strong winds must be blown by industrial fans."
Brother Long's expression became more and more serious: "You...you are smashing my signboard! In our Long's class, all the stunts are real swords and guns, not fake ones."
This is his bottom line, stronger than that of a man.
