The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 260 Huang Fusen drowned

The filming of the movie "Ghost Husband" is coming to an end. It will be completed in about a week, and now we have entered the behind-the-scenes production stage.

When filming this movie, Cheng Mo demanded excellence. After all, this is the first movie of "Loulan Film and Television", so it can't get off to a bad start.

Even if it can't be a big fire, it still has to be a small explosion.

So far, the filming has been kept under wraps, most of it in studios, some on real locations, and the actors and staff have signed confidentiality agreements.

According to the current production cost of a movie, a movie is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If it is a large-scale production and it hires star actors, the cost will naturally not come down.

But basically it’s about 50,000 yuan, and a little bit closer to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It’s mainly two parts of the cost, the equipment fee and the actor’s performance fee.

A movie can take up to a few months to shoot, and then be released to the audience very quickly. If it takes half a year from shooting to post-production to release, then it is definitely a big production.

In fact, it usually takes a month or two at most from filming to release, and within this month, actors may not make a movie.

"The Ghost Husband" actually tells a story about people, and the ghosts in it are not ghosts at all. The scary thing is people, not ghosts.

Cheng Mo requested that the film used should be three times the length of the movie, and that one shot could be shot twice or even three times.

No matter how good the actors and production team are, if they encounter a bad script, unless the director has the ability to re-create it, it will be miserable.

After all, I have been fed many classic movies in my past life. Even if I am not professional, I can still tell whether they are good or not.

Generally speaking, the story does not require too many special effects. If it only requires good costumes and actors, and the director is of average or above average level, it can basically produce a good work.

Each film company has strict restrictions on the use of film film, and excessive waste is not allowed. Generally, it exceeds about 30%, which is already quite generous.

In order to save money, many shots were rehearsed many times and then shot to the end. This is not the future. It allows you to shoot "N" countless times. Anyway, the material is stored in the hard disk. As long as the capacity is enough, you can shoot as many times as you like. , it’s nothing more than a waste of time.

Movies are not made to move oneself, but to move the audience, the audience's aesthetic and appreciation level must be taken into consideration.

Movie films in this era were very expensive and could not be produced domestically, so all had to be imported.

Cheng Mo does not interfere in the filming of the film, but the script must be checked, and the post-production is also monitored, and the editing requirements are much higher.

Easy to understand, the plot is smooth and the picture is comfortable.

The premise is that the script cannot be bad.

It is easy to say, but it is not the same thing to do, because in many cases, due to editing and post-production technology, if you want to meet certain requirements, you must shoot several more sets of shots. In this way, the mother The use of tablets will be greatly increased.

Although it seems like a waste to the director, having such a large margin in production also brings a variety of possibilities to the director's creation.

Cheng Mo actually wanted to make a feature film in color, but the domestic technical equipment was not up to it. Not to mention it is not up to now, even ten years from now, domestic technology will not be up to it. For a long time, domestic films will be black and white.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, only black and white films could be shot for a long time. This must be said to be a huge regret for Chinese filmmakers.

However, if Cheng Mo really wants to make color films, he must have talent and technical reserves, and of course, patents. In his busy schedule, Cheng Mo temporarily forgot about the task of "Li Ping" until one morning when he went to work.

Xu Qinghe ran over to him to report that something big had happened.

He thought he didn't know what was really going on, but when he asked, he found out that Huang Fusen drowned in the Grand View Garden Bathhouse yesterday afternoon.

This shocked Cheng Mo. These days, I have seen people who are good swimmers drown, but someone who takes a bath can drown himself.

Some live a long time.

The boss behind the Grand View Garden Bathhouse is now Lu Liankui. Of course, Lu Liankui is not the only shareholder, there are others who have invested in it.

Lu Liankui wanted Cheng Mo to get involved, but Cheng Mo didn't get involved because he had no money and had invested it elsewhere. Otherwise, Chang Yuqing, Zhou Liuwu and others would withdraw from the Zodiac Society Finally, he can also take a small share.

This bathhouse business is inevitably connected with pornography, gambling and drugs. He has no intention of making such side money, as it will dirty his hands.

However, he was a distinguished guest at the Grand View Garden Bath. Going there occasionally to take a bath with Lu Liankui was the highest treatment.

There was a death in the Grand View Garden bathhouse, and it was a detective from the patrol room. Lu Liankui should have known about it for a long time, why didn't he give him the news?
Or is he trying to hide something?
Or it was an accident!
Accident, if Cheng Mo hadn't issued a sanction order to Li Ping, he might still believe it if it was an accident, but now, he definitely doesn't believe it.

Cheng Mo decided to call Lu Liankui and ask.

"Hey, Brother Lu, I heard that someone was killed in the Grand View Garden Bathhouse?" Cheng Mo also went straight to the point. This is not a criminal case. If someone dies normally or accidentally, it will not be reported to the patrol room.

What's more, the Grand View Garden bathhouse where Huang Fusen drowned is the property of the Chinese Inspector General Lu Liankui. He ordered to block the news, did not report it to the patrol room, and handled it himself. This is normal.

But Huang Fusen is the detective of the political unit, and he must give an explanation to the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, whether it is a murder or an accident.

"Hey, brother Cheng, you also know, brother, I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes." Lu Liankui's voice on the other end of the phone was hoarse. It was obvious that Huang Fusen's death in the bathhouse of his Grand View Garden brought him huge trouble.

Huang Fusen was the detective of the political unit. He had been in the limelight recently and had arrested many members of the "Blue Clothes Club". He was retaliated and assassinated by the Blue Clothes Club. It was completely justified, but he died in the bathtub in the high-end bathing area of ​​the Grand View Garden Bath. .

So I described the process of Huang Fusen's drowning to Cheng Mo on the phone.

Around four or five o'clock, Huang Fusen took two of his agents to the Grand View Garden Bath. Huang Fusen naturally went to the high-end bathing area. The high-end bathing area has a single room per person.

Entering the door is a small dressing and resting room, with spring recliners that can be adjusted to any sitting position, leather footrests, coffee tables, tea sets, and telephones. There is an electric bell on the corner of the coffee table. If you need anything, just ring the bell and the lobby service desk will assign it. Someone will come to serve you.

In the back is the bathroom, which is equipped with a white enamel cast iron bathtub, shower equipment, basin, mirror, etc. imported from the UK.

You can also take a mandarin duck bath in the high-end bath area, it depends on the guest's choice.

Huang Fusen was alone that day and didn't even ask for other services. He usually at least wanted a back rub, a pedicure, and a massage.

Then there was drowning. By the time Huang Fusen's men came in, the person had been dead for at least a quarter of an hour.
