Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 231

Six hours later, Chu Xiangqian left the terminal on Hong Kong Island, hailed a taxi, and immediately took off the sleeveless cashmere sweater he was wearing underneath.

It was past 10 pm when I got home, I had a rest for the night, and went to the film company early the next day.

Seeing the boss come back, everyone in the company finally breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao, Aji and others also came out of the training room immediately to see Chu Xiangqian.

"Boss, we have basically completed the complete rehearsal of the fighting routine you explained. Why don't you see the effect now?"

Chu Xiangqian was in a hurry to come back. Apart from trading the white tiger, he was also concerned about the film preparations.

Don't look at Guo Zhenhua and the others who only practiced for 10 or so days, but this year's pre-training for filming is already the only one.

Most of them are still watching the effect while shooting, and then making corrections now, even the script is written while shooting.

And many times, the director has a new idea and changes the script anytime and anywhere.

There are also some movies that have no script at all since the project was approved.

But even so, Hong Kong Island can occasionally release a box office hit movie.

Chu Xiangqian looked very confident when he saw Guo Zhenhua, so naturally he would not refuse.

We went to the training ground together, and Uncle Hai and San Jiangshui have already returned to the company.

One reports on the film's fundraising situation during this period, where the funds were spent, and the selection of studios and other things.

The other talked about the construction progress of the market next to the fire station.

When the talk is almost over, Guo Zhenhua is also ready.

The plot of the snake-shaped tricky hand is actually not complicated. It tells the story of Pai Yingclawmen and the snake-shaped gate who have been hostile for generations, and both sides want to eradicate each other completely.

Under the teaching of Bai Changtian, the elder of the Serpentine Gate, Ah Fu, a handyman in the martial arts school, first learned the snake-shaped boxing, and then when watching cats and snakes fighting each other, he was inspired by wild cats and created his own snake-shaped tricks, defeating the Eagle Claw Gate. The doorman's story.

As for the success of Uncle Long's movies, in addition to real fights and a lot of risky actions, being humorous and funny is also one of the secrets of success.

Compared with this era, with every move, every style, every fight, and the plot without a sense of humor, Uncle Long's movies are indeed more attractive.

What Chu Xiangqian had to do was very simple, just copy the plot from memory.

To make a digression, the official master of the Eagle Claw Gate in Snake-shaped Diao's hand was later borrowed by Dragon Ball.

Tao Baibai in the early stage is [-]% similar to the master of the Eagle Claw Sect in the movie.

There is also the image of dumplings, which is borrowed from the image of the white face with two red circles on both sides of the cheeks in Hong Sanbao's "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts".

The old man playing Drunken Fist in King of Fighters is also the original version of the old man in Uncle Long's movie Drunken Fist.

This character is actually very easy to find. Tell Hong Zhennan's apprentice, A Ji, not only to find the old man, but also to find the person who played the role of the master of the Eagle Claw Sect.

After more than a dozen fighting drills, Chu Xiangqian was basically sure that it would be no problem to start filming.

Calling the director and the people behind the scenes together, Chu waved his palm forward and said, "Since the practice is almost the same, the opening ceremony will be held tomorrow."

Many people had been waiting for filming to support their families, and immediately cheered when they heard this.

After discussing the details of the filming with the director and others, Chu Xiangqian took the whole crew to have a meal with backbone, and the morale immediately rose again.

The next morning, San Jiangshui was waiting outside the dry goods store, and Chu Xiangqian casually threw the car keys to him.

Sitting on the back seat of the car, he asked, "Whose site is the outfield we chose, and how much is the fee?"

Sanjiangshui said with a smile while driving, "Boss, I have already said hello to Lian Sheng's people. The fee is 1. If someone makes trouble, they will be responsible for it.

And Deng Fei, the leader of "He Liansheng", approached me twice and said that he wanted to invite you to dinner, so the place is for the backbone. "

Chu Xiangqian sneered, Deng Fei didn't want to go early because he had no profit. Before he returned to the capital last time, he heard Duan Hongchun, who had the backbone, say that Deng Fei wanted to negotiate with other clubs when he had the backbone.

That guy wanted to take advantage of the prestige he had just killed Laihao to stand up for him.

"Tell him, I don't hang out with clubs, and I don't participate in 'He Lian Sheng' and other clubs."

San Jiangshui nodded regretfully and agreed, if the younger brother is willing to raise the flag, hundreds of people can be gathered within a few days of keeping it.

With a few more majestic battles, not only can he easily occupy Yau Ma Tei, but his subordinates can also expand to thousands, or even more than two thousand, in a short period of time.

Chu Xiangqian knew very well in his heart that those who joined the society seemed to make money like flowing water, but the ceiling was very low.

In addition, the younger brother has to feed, and the monthly fees, venue fees, etc. are basically used on the younger brother.

If you want to make more money, you must engage in deceitful and smoky decapitation businesses such as cheating, bullying the market, pornography, gambling and drugs.

On the set, Chu Xiangqian fulfilled his wish to see the Cao Dahua who will lose hundreds of millions of his fortune in the future.

Now Boss Cao can be said to be proud of his spring breeze. Not only did he become famous early in his filming, but his business is also booming.

Even studios, a business that only movie tycoons can afford to lose in the eyes of people of this era, are built as soon as they are built.

Chu Xiangqian wanted to win the money and property that Boss Cao lost to the Macau Hotel from the gambling table, but found that this guy was not addicted to gambling yet.

What really made him decline step by step was that after Boss Cao took over the role of a gambler two years later, in order to express the truth of the characters in the plot, he played this character well.

Boss Cao has only been to Macau for the first time.

But I didn't expect that when I first went, I won money nine times out of ten.

From the perspective of the world in the future, it must be that the casino is raising fish.

Sure enough, Boss Cao went to Macau more and more times, and gradually changed from winning nine out of ten bets to losing nine out of ten bets.And the bigger the bet, the bigger the bet.

According to what the gambling king himself said, you win if you don't gamble, and you can see the tricks in it.
-
At this time, due to the second expansion of the Diamond Hill studio, the capital consumption was a bit high, and the crews stationed there were not too many, which attracted the big boss Cao Dahua to come here in person.

Of course, Chu Qiangqian just killed Li Hao a few days ago, and the police force is still cracking down on Yizitou forces. Even Rose, a woman who almost swallowed Yizitou, died in the mouth of Yizitou for no reason. .

So much so that the two sides almost lost their brains these days.

Hearing that the film Chu Xiangqian invested in was chosen to be filmed on the Diamond Hill studio, Boss Cao thought for a while, and still felt that it was reasonable to make friends in person.

At the same time, he also tried to see whether Chu Xiangqian was going the right way or going the wrong way.

Chu Xiangqian is not a good person. When he saw Boss Cao, his first thought was his Palace Theater, a whole commercial street, and the Diamond Mountain studio at his feet.

Rather than being won by others, it is naturally better to make yourself cheaper.

Of course, it would be a fool to drag someone to the gambling table as soon as they meet.

After some chatting, Chu Xiangqian wanted to bring up the topic of gambling movies, but he didn't want to wait for him to speak, and he didn't know where Boss Cao knew that when he had played with Lei Luo, Zhu Youzai and others Can kill the Quartet every time.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it carefully, and soon realized that someone might have already missed him.

As for who spread the news about his proficiency in gambling, he could guess if he thought about it, it was probably Lan Gang's big mouth, or Yan Tong's old boy.

Lan Gang's nickname is Headless, which means that he likes to joke and has no control over his mouth.

And Yan Tong has always been on good terms with the community bosses in Chengzhai and Yau Tsim Mong, so it's normal for him to mention these big bosses.

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Cao Sheng, the so-called ten bets and nine cheats, you'd better stay away from the gambling table."

Cao Dahua could hear Chu Xiangqian's kindness. After all, he was almost 50 at this time, and he had been on the set for 30 to [-] years. He had never seen any characters.

But people are like this. When the spring breeze is proud, they often don't listen to people's advice.

And the more proud you are, the more conceited you are.

"Don't worry, Chu Sheng, I have never played poker with anyone in my life. I will ask you for advice just because I heard a good story from a friend.

The biggest hobby of my life is acting.If you want to play a living character, you must at least know the psychology of the character.I also ask Chu Sheng to enlighten me. "

Chu Xiangqian was sure now, someone really cared about Cao Dahua's family property.

That so-called friend has an impure heart.

Boss Cao himself said that he has never played poker with anyone in his life.Seeing that Boss Cao didn't take the bait, he took advantage of his playful character and used movies to seduce him.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian decided not only not to teach him how to gamble, but also to persuade him more.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian is not really being a good person, but doing the opposite.

The more someone persuades someone, the more he refuses to listen.

"Boss Cao, to put it bluntly, in Qianmen's eyes, a person like you is the perfect fat sheep. Besides, there are so many characters on screen, why do you have to be a 'gambler'?"

Cao Dahua was taken aback for a moment, and faintly became unhappy.

I just want to play a brilliant 'gambler', but I don't really go to Macau to gamble.Besides, Chu Xiangqian, a 20-year-old boy, has no right to doubt his concentration?

The more he thought about it, the more Boss Cao felt that Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to teach him a thousand skills.

I even worry that what I have learned will affect him.

"Since Chu Sheng is not free, I will bother you."

Chu Xiangqian looked at the back of Boss Cao, who was walking a little anxiously and obviously unhappy, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Then he called Sanjiangshui over, "Do you still have contact with the Macau hotel waiter you paid for last time?"

San Jiangshui nodded hurriedly, and heard Chu Xiangqian continue, "Don't be afraid to spend money, just keep an eye on Boss Cao. As soon as he goes to Macau, let me know immediately."

After Sanjiangshui agreed, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Boss, there is no need to find someone from the Macau Hotel, just keep an eye on the ferry."

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he understood that people looking for hotels were indeed at greater risk.

On the contrary, sending someone to work at the ferry company was an unknowing arrangement.

"You can handle this matter, I will pay you an extra 100 yuan a month."

Sanjiangshui smiled, "It's easy to handle. Among the people I know, there are some people who want to work safely. There are people vying for the double salary custodian."

After finishing speaking, San Jiangshui thought for a while, "How about I let my cousin go?"

Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently, "Remember, people must be reliable."

"Don't worry," San Jiangshui assured, patting his chest, "My cousin has only been here for three years, and his wife and children are five. He is also very honest and won't talk nonsense.

Besides, we are not kidnapping Boss Cao, as long as he does not have an accident, we will say afterwards that we like Boss Cao's drama.

The company failed to invite him several times, so he thought about how to get in touch with him. "

Chu Xiangqian nodded reassuringly.

Randomly ordered 2000 yuan and handed it to Sanjiangshui, "Tell me if you don't have enough money."

Sanjiangshui was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, actually three to five hundred yuan is enough for me to find a relationship and send my cousin to the ferry company as a ticket inspector."

Seeing that this guy was so sincere, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help laughing.

Meeting up with the director, the opening ceremony began soon after.

Before the start-up on Hong Kong Island, it is always necessary to ask a master who is familiar with Feng Shui to determine the start-up time, and it is accurate to the time and minute.

Then we need to determine the location of going up to worship God.

As for who to worship, there is no clear rule.Finally, the red cloth of the machine was lifted and the machine was turned on.

The first match was very simple, just shoot Guo Zhenhua's very proficient snake boxing.

And this plot is a set of punches that Uncle Long punched when the subtitles of the Serpentine Tricky Hand movie were broadcast.

After shooting three times, the director felt that there was no problem, and turned his head to look at the boss, Chu Xiangqian, who had been staring at him all the time.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and nodded.

The worst thing about film movies these days is that the cameraman is all up to the photographer, and the director doesn't know whether the film he shoots is completely in line with his expectations when he is on the set.

In many cases, when the filming starts, the actors are working hard on acting, the lighting and cameramen are also working hard, but the director has time to read the script of the next scene.

Even an unscrupulous director can sit in the director's seat and eat a bowl of noodles.

This has led to the high status of the gold medal photographer, and the director often has to beg him.

And some directors who were born as photographers are even better than those who are purely professional directors.

As for actors, especially actresses, they are the first to curry favor with photographers.

Lest the other party play tricks and make himself ugly.

Therefore, many directors will develop part of the film overnight to watch during the shooting.

If the director and the cameraman cooperate with each other tacitly, there will be the saying of a royal photographer.

Chu Xiangqian nodded, and the 54-second title was considered finished.

The next step is naturally to shoot the first act first, which reflects the benefits of the Diamond Hill studio.

It is far away from the city center, but close to the mountains and the sea. The future East District Undersea Tunnel will be built from stones collected from a quarry not far from the set.

On the hill that had been selected in advance, the crew sat in two chins and quickly made a special show, but what everyone didn't expect was that when the actor who played the role of the master of the Eagle Claw Gate was playing and practicing with the actor of the Serpentine Gate, I accidentally stepped on a small stone and sprained my ankle.

Damn it, Chu Xiangqian scolded directly angrily. While having the actor sent to the hospital, he pointed at the scene manager and the location director and scolded him for several minutes.

Uncle Hai quietly pulled Guo Zhenhua, the former boss, and said in a low voice, "Ah Hua, the boss is better at skills and more handsome. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the company, you'd better persuade the boss to play this role."

Guo Zhenhua was taken aback for a moment, secretly thinking that Uncle Hai was right.

If the boss likes filming, why should I worry that there will be no films to film in the future?
