Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 232
Let Guo Zhenhua, a rookie, be the protagonist, not to mention himself, the entire crew lacks confidence.

But if Chu Xiangqian's boss also participates, even if the box office is not good, the boss can be photographed as handsome and heroic. From this point of view, the boss will definitely not care too much about the box office.

I even felt that the first film was just because I was unfamiliar with it, so I came up with the idea of ​​continuing to make another film.

At that time, I volunteered to play a supporting role for the boss, so I don't have to worry about too much pressure, and I have a serious job.

As for how much money he made, anyway, after he sold the Lichi Stage to Baifanyu, he got hundreds of thousands, which was enough for himself and his wife-to-be to live a stable and prosperous life for the rest of his life.

"Boss, why don't you play the role of the master of the Eagle Claw Sect?"

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback, while the director and cameraman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, boss, in the script you wrote, it was originally said that the master of the Eagle Claw Sect is the best in the world.

Moreover, you are so handsome, and you showed a gloomy and sinister feeling when you took the photos. The contrast effect must be very good.Custody can attract many little girls to the cinema to watch movies. "

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes, and he knew that the director and the photographer were flattering.

Uncle Hai saw that he was just hesitant, instead of refusing outright, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Boss, this first play is very important, and the pressure is also great.

If you participate, you will not only be able to control it yourself, but also give everyone a peace of mind. "

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Guo Zhenhua and the others, and quickly saw that the big guy's expression was indeed very nervous.

Thinking about it carefully, this character is really brilliant, otherwise Akira Toriyama would not have used it as a manga character in the future.

And in the future, there will be two real kung fu superstars, Uncle Xiaolong and Uncle Long, as role models, so that Chu Xiangqian will know that martial arts action stars can also make a name for themselves abroad.

Of course, there are good stars and bad stars, but after thinking about it, I am the boss, or even the boss of a theater in the future, and the bad side is basically not a problem for me.

The good side is that whoever wants to move himself will have more scruples.

After thinking about this, Chu Xiangqian changed into the prepared costumes without any hesitation, because the previous actors were about the same height as him, and the clothes fit him quite well.

Just let Chu Xiangqian keep a long braid, and he won't do it even if he is killed.

In the end, he simply combed his hair back, unexpectedly, he became even more handsome, and when he was sullen, he naturally exuded an aura of power without anger.

In this way, the master of the Serpentine Sect who played against him will appear even more inconspicuous.

It even made the people present feel that the master of the Serpentine Gate is the villain.

After Chu Xiangqian nodded, Hong Sanbao, who was in charge of action guidance, hurriedly brought Aji and a guide who actually practiced Eagle Claw Boxing to teach Chu Xiangqian Eagle Claw routines.

With Chu Xiangqian's ability and physical fitness, and the fact that he watched the actors practice together yesterday, after only teaching him three times, he was able to fight like a real Snake Fist instructor.

But soon the problem came again. After the filming started, Chu Xiangqian shot too fast. Although he was pressing hard, the actor who played the opposite role felt sore in his arm after only a few rounds, and was busy waving his hands while changing the shooting angle.

He said to Chu Xiangqian, "Boss, I'm just an action actor, and I can't compare with a real kung fu master like you. You should save some hands, lest my arms will be useless after today's filming."

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded embarrassingly, and then said to Hong Sanbao, "Find someone to call and invite a bone-beating master to come and follow the group. If there is any damage during the filming, it can be dealt with immediately. , so as not to leave the root of the disease."

Hong Sanbao was 1 satisfied with his current job, so he hurriedly nodded and asked one of Hong Zhennan's apprentices to find Hong Zhennan.

If he came forward, he would naturally be able to invite a powerful bone-beating master.

As for the money, even if it was five hundred a month, Chu Xiangqian would agree without batting an eye.

Afterwards, the filming went much smoother. It was originally a pre-rehearsed routine, except that Chu Xiangqian was not familiar with the camera, which caused the reshoots.

In terms of action and fighting, there is nothing wrong with it.

Originally expected to take one day, or even several days due to the lack of actors, the filming was completed in less than three hours.

Moreover, the actor who played the opposite role, after hearing Chu Xiangqian's words, tried his best to shoot at full speed, but in Chu Xiangqian's eyes, he was still a slow batch.

From the looks of this scene, it was full of enthusiasm, and it also made people feel that this is the skill that the two masters should have.

It's just that, when the decisive battle comes, Guo Zhenhua must suffer a lot.

After filming the first fighting scene, the crew had another special show. Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to say that today was filmed, but seeing the 30 people present, none of them showed any dissatisfaction, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In the future, Hong Kong Island films will become popular in Southeast Asia, and occasionally even one or two films will become popular in Europe and the United States.

Of course, no matter where the movie scene is, there's never a shortage of dark sides.

But the movie itself is a circle of fame and fortune. As long as there are disputes between people, many things will never be avoided.

Fortunately, there is surprisingly no female character in this movie, so the crew didn't have a lot of troubles.

After 5 o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the sky had gradually darkened, the production crew finally called it a day.

But the director and behind-the-scenes affairs were not over yet, and Chu Xiangqian wanted to develop the film as soon as possible to see the effects of today's scenes.

After sending the film to the developing company on the set, at around 10 pm, in a small theater, Chu Xiangqian finally saw his first play in his life.

A dozen or so directors, photographers, leading actors, Wu Zhi and others who hadn't returned home felt that the filming was surprisingly good after watching it.

But after a while, the big guy felt the huge pressure again. It was Chu Xiangqian's first scene, and the fighting effect was really good.

So much so that the director, leading actors and others felt that the difficulty of the scene of the decisive battle has suddenly increased several levels.

Hong Sanbao smacked Guo Zhenhua's arm quietly, and said in a low voice, "Aaron, don't be too hard these days. Otherwise, if you don't give you special training, I'm worried that you will NG countless times in the last scene."

Guo Zhenhua's nickname is naturally not A-Long. Chu Xiangqian said in a wicked way that Guo Zhenhua's name is too correct, and he is just a real rookie who has never made a movie.

It's better to take a stage name.

Anyway, Uncle Long's surname was also Fang, and Guo Zhenhua looked exactly like Uncle Long, so he himself thought 'Cheng' and 'Dragon' were a good name.

Naturally, everyone started calling him 'Aaron'.

Guo Zhenhua nodded, "Senior brother, you can arrange it harshly, I can endure hardship."

This is not nonsense. When Guo Zhenhua first came to Hong Kong Island, he was cheated out of his money. He slept on the street and ate pig food, so he understood the difficulties at the bottom.

Moreover, he has learned martial arts before, and he must have suffered a lot to be able to practice to the current level.And self-control is also very good.

Chu Xiangqian personally took away the film and master tapes that had been shot and roughly cut, and then invited everyone to a food stall for supper before getting in the car and leaving with Sanjiangshui.

As soon as he left, a group of people immediately chattered.

The director patted Guo Zhenhua on the shoulder, "Aaron, you have seen with your own eyes how powerful the boss is. As long as you can keep up with the boss' movements, I think this movie will definitely be a hit."

Photography and lighting followed suit. Everyone has been struggling in this circle for many years, and their skills and vision may not be very strong, but they still have the ability to appreciate.

At least in their opinion, the first scene is enough to attract most of the audience.

If Guo Zhenhua, the lead actor in the future, didn't stretch his hips, and when the final battle was filmed, it would be as exciting as the first scene, and it would be difficult for this movie to sell well.

Guo Zhenhua hurriedly reassured, and also told about the special training between himself and Hong Sanbao.

Only then did a group of people feel relieved. This attitude alone was worthy of affirmation and expectation.

The filming continued the next day, and Chu Xiangqian also stole lessons from the director.

The director also guessed what Chu Xiangqian was thinking, but he was the boss, and he didn't teach himself. Some directors were willing to teach, and then took the opportunity to become the director of a new movie.

Besides, Chu Xiangqian definitely wouldn't make romantic films.

And the first futon was shot by the director and photographer.

And that movie was released for a full 10 days. I heard that the box office of 6 films has exceeded 20. This means that nearly 20 people on Hong Kong Island bought movie tickets and went to the theaters to watch them.

After deducting the 10-day rental fee for the cinema, Futon has earned 14 net profit in the past [-] days, just in Hong Kong Island.

In addition to the 6 box office earned in the trial screenings in rural areas such as Tuen Mun, it means that the film has already earned a net profit of 20.

With the blessing of this box office, I believe Boss Baifan Yubai will definitely find himself as the director of the second romantic movie.

As for the director's fee, one is to take the dead salary, and the other is to see if the boss is generous.

If you make money, the bonus you get is sometimes several times your salary.

Of course, there are also bosses who are very stingy and only willing to pay wages.

Once you clamor for a salary increase, you will be kicked out immediately.

As for dividends, I still wash up and go to sleep, and I have everything in my dream.

At first, Chu Xiangqian didn't understand why so many people wanted to enter this industry under this system.

But after following the group for a day, I found that the current and future Hong Kong films are just assembly-line works.

The director, actors and behind-the-scenes all regarded themselves as laborers, wishing that a 10-day film would be finished in 5 days.It's better to find another crew to work.

The meaning of perfunctory is very common, and they are basically half-hearted monks.

The acting skills and directing ability all depended on being honed little by little on the set. Even Chu Xiangqian, the boss, would not be willing to charge a high price for such an employee.

It is even more impossible to charge a high price.

By the time the actors have honed their acting skills, most of them are already over 30 and can no longer play the leading role.

Actresses are even worse.

After all, the income in this industry is much higher than that of the bottom of society.

Otherwise, everyone is not a fool, and they are not willing to enter this industry.

This also forces well-known actors to invest in filming by themselves.

But if you really get ahead, there is no one in a hundred, and most of them are due to grandma's family.

Even Uncle Long in the real world has been famous for decades, but during this period, there have been troughs, which almost ruined his acting career.
-
Not long after the shooting, Chu Xiangqian heard noises coming from outside the shooting location, and was about to curse, when he saw the old guy Baifanyu barging in with a laugh.

"Xiao Chu, you didn't tell my uncle when you came back. If Deng Fei didn't call me and said he wanted to treat you to dinner, I wouldn't even know you were back."

Chu Xiangqian reluctantly signaled the director to rest for a while, greeted Baifanyu, and said with a smile, "Uncle, aren't you busy making this movie?
Besides, I heard that you recently fell in love with a little girl, I'd better not bother you. "

Baifanyu's face froze, and if someone else dared to tease him like this, he would let him know what 'why the flowers are so red'.

But facing Chu Qianqian, Baifanyu could only rely on his collaborators and the advantages of being several times older to communicate with him.

Of course, it's more because Baifanyu saw Qiantu in the romantic movie, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Chu Xiangqian on his own initiative.

Bai Fanyu dragged Chu Qianqian to the side, "I asked someone to check the box office at Ah San's side, and I heard that in the past ten days or so, the ghost gang can get at least 5 pounds."

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that 5 pounds would be 80 Hong Kong dollars.

Damn, is this kind of movie so easy to sell?
And it's still ten or so days. If it's released for one or two months, Charles and the ghosts will get a share, which is more than their monthly fees.

And it doesn't require any cost or effort.

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

Baifanyu is not stupid, although he is jealous of Ah San's profits, he will not regret it.

But now he is anxious to send the film to the island countries, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

Chu Xiangqian felt for a moment that the final box office of this futon might be higher than that of his own film Snake-shaped Tricky Hand.

Once this is the case, I may be the one who opened Pandora's box.

In the future, there will definitely be more capital and film companies in Southeast Asia, island countries, and South Korea.

But this is also a good thing for Chu Xiangqian. With this futon to open up the hair style channel, it will be much easier to get the snake-shaped hair style.

"Okay, Uncle, it's a good thing that you want to release it in South Korea, island countries and Southeast Asia, and I think you'd better show it near the camp where the gringos are.

Newspapers in other island countries and South Korea reported that Americans like to watch this movie, and locals in the two places will definitely follow suit and go to the cinema. "

Bai Fanyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I knew I would ask you first, and I would definitely be able to give me a good idea."

After talking about the business, Baifanyu immediately asked with a smile, "Go back, you must have solved the problem of supply, how about helping Uncle get another tiger?"

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that what the old guy wanted was a tiger whip.

"Even if you ask me for 10 tigers now, I can send them to you the next day. But Uncle, you are not young, you should take it easy."

Baifanyu said indifferently, "You don't know, a master helped me look at it, and said that my new concubine would definitely give birth to a son for me.

If I don't work hard, I will be powerless in the future, and I don't have a son. Isn't it wasted to earn so much money? "

Chu Xiangqian frowned after listening, "Uncle, I won't talk about Qianmen's tricks, you should have known it earlier, right?"
