Chapter 880: Investigation and Investigation
After getting Liu Tianxian, Mr. Xu went to Hong Kong.
Lao Song's "Infernal Affairs" has started filming, "Kung Fu" is going smoothly, and "Hero" is just waiting to be released. Xu Fei received a guest in Hong Kong, a film dealer from Thailand.
The second pan-Asian collaboration, a low-budget action film with a budget of $4 million.
In order to be released in the mainland, he put some thought into it:
Wu Jing plays a veteran who started his own business and opened a restaurant, and his business is booming. His parents died young, and he only had one sister, who was regarded as a treasure.
My sister made friends online, saying that she was traveling to Hong Kong together, but she suddenly disappeared.
Wu Jing entered Hong Kong alone, launched an investigation, and encountered a Hong Kong policeman Donnie Yen. The two did not know each other, but they were both investigating the case and found that it was an international criminal organization.
Involving human trafficking, drugs, organ trafficking, etc., the crime is heinous, and the nest is in Thailand.
My sister is very beautiful and was kidnapped and taken to Thailand, of course Wu Jing has to save her. When the Hong Kong police smashed a stronghold, Donnie Yen's best brother was killed, and the murderer fled.
In order to avenge his brother, he did not hesitate to resign and pass.
Zhang Jin plays a local Thai and a gangster who guards the tower with Tony Jia......
The plot has nothing to say, the beginning is "Hurricane Rescue", then "Slaying the Wolf 2", and finally the ** paragraph that goes straight to the lair becomes "Raid".
It's important to be in the motion design.
How to integrate modern technical concepts to make the audience feel bright. Xu Fei didn't understand, so he handed it over to Wu Zhi to be distressed.
He checks on political elements, such as the identity of the protagonist.
Wu Jing must not be an active soldier or policeman, first, it is legally untenable, and second, some departments are afraid of causing diplomatic influence.
Yes, that's right, you have to pay attention to diplomatic influence when making movies in the mainland.
For example, in "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing also went to Africa to find Long Xiaoyun's murderer after he was expelled from the army. Then, he happened to be involved in the war, and he happened to catch up with the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and it happened that the squadron could not act, so it could only fall on him......
Like Interpol, agents, who go to other people's land and shoot and kill people in a grand manner - Hong Kong films can be available, Hollywood can have them, but the mainland does not exist.
In short, it is the situation of Wu Jing and Donnie Yen, against Zhang Jin and Tony Jia.
Plus a vote of demons and monsters, macho brother is expensive, and he asks for a cool word.
The cost is low, the world, sunshine, and Thailand are invested, distributed overseas, and the main new type of action movies is psychologically stress-free.
Lao Song only felt exquisite, zombies are a matter of principle, but saving his sister can be flexible.
Since then, I have learned a trick: when it comes to more sensitive things in the mainland, let's move the scene out and get it overseas, and Chinese actors will do the same.
For example, there was a drama in later generations, the remake of the Indian movie "Manslaughter".
............
After a short stay in Hong Kong, Xu Fei ran to the United States again.
San Francisco, on the set of "The Incredible Hulk".
There was no filming, but the police were rounding up a couple of giggling young men running around the set. It's all white, and they can't hold their knees to lock their throats, a shuttle bullet......
Li Yu helplessly pinched his waist and waited for the police to deal with it.
Those are college students in the neighborhood, and seeing that there is a crew here, they come to play pranks - they all urinate next to them.
It's easy to catch and take it away, and the crew starts again.
Eric Barna, who plays the role of the Hulk, wears a special tights, wired to the computer, and sits with various movements and expressions. These forms are stored on the computer, and after post-production special effects, they become the Incredible Hulk.
In later generations, this capture technique was very mature, and now it is relatively rough. In the past, it was rougher, and the actor was covered in green makeup and was the Hulk.
After filming for a while, I took a break to eat.
With an investment of $130 million, the film is a large-scale production with extremely rich logistics.
There is a food truck on the set, you can order food, and there will be a booth for outdoor shooting, and there are snacks, drinks, barbecue, and ice cream. Of course, there are also different levels, and each has its own dining venue.
Li Yu beckoned Xu Fei to come over and sit at a table.
"You've been on in March, why are you still nervous?"
"It's been delayed again and again, and now it's expected to be completed in October. ”
"Isn't that going to take 8 months?"
"Alas......"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Actually, I regret taking this drama a little, the physical pressure is okay, and I am quite nervous." ”
Oh, yes!
You're swooping this piece!
Of course, Xu Fei has watched "The Incredible Hulk", and he can't say it's rotten, it's boring. The audience is rushing to watch superheroes, and as a result, you talk about human nature......
Li Yu has no commercial film cells, and the delicate emotions between people are his master.
"I'm sorry, I'm too busy to spend time with you. ”
"It doesn't matter, I'm here to investigate, just to see the top special effects level and production process in Hollywood. ”
Well?
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I want to try to make blockbusters. ”
"What type?"
"Science fiction, war, fairytale, fantasy...... It hasn't been determined yet, and the current intention of science fiction is relatively large. ”
"Then you have to prepare as early as possible, the preliminary work is very tedious. ”
"yes, so I'll take a look. ”
Li Yu admires this very much, and he has read all the five-year plans he has made, including "Virus". The intention is obvious, to create a mature film industry system, and to grow from actual combat.
Xu Fei visited the class as a mainland filmmaker and the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Li Yu helped introduce the special effects of "The Incredible Hulk", Industrial Light and Magic.
After the Hulk transformed, it was completely made by special effects, not a real person.
Technically, this is the most advanced and expensive in Hollywood.
The staff of Industrial Light & Magic were very enthusiastic and talked about it simply: there are more than 100 layers of skin alone, skin color, blood vessels, scars, sludge, sweat, spots, hair balabala, and each element is expressed in at least ten levels in order to make the hulk lifelike balabala......
Xu Fei doesn't know much either, so he remembers the hard standard: there are 183 people, serving the special effects!
130 million, nearly half of the budget is spent on special effects.
The secondary technology is not so expensive, and the cost of "The Matrix 1" is just over $60 million. Of course, the second part soared to 150 million.
Although the cost of all aspects in China is lower than that of Hollywood, the special effects fee is worth every penny, and the total cost is still high.
With today's box office volume in the mainland, it can pay for death.
Therefore, Xu Fei is extremely cautious, and the risk must be reduced to ensure quality.
............
"Oh, Mr. Xu!"
"Oh, Fat Jerry!"
"If you may, I hope you don't add adjectives. ”
Bidding farewell to Li Eucalyptus, Xu Fei came to the cactus company.
Jerry was red-faced, his heart was wide and his body was fatter, and he gave him a bear hug: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss the magic of the East." ”
"Didn't I give you a book of prophecy?"
"What do you say about "The Mist" and "Prada"? is far from enough, seeing your real existence, I will be completely down-to-earth. ”
Xu Fei talked to him for a while, and said with a smile: "This time there is nothing serious, and there is nothing to do." I need a list of services and quotes from all the special effects companies in Hollywood, and I want to visit them one by one. ”
“OK!”
"And the cost of all special effects movies in the past two years, just make the cost public, I don't ask you to be agents. ”
"That's fine. ”
"How's Virus?"
"As expected, $2 million was a success. ”
Okay.
Xu Fei nestled on the sofa, peeled off a candy - apparently Jerry's snack - and asked, "Is there any news that I will be interested in, you know what it is." ”
"As always, the trend brought by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is very popular in Chinese kung fu. Zhou Yunfa filmed a "Bulletproof Warrior Monk", which will be released next year. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xu Fei nodded, bad movie.
"I heard that Disney is also going to mix it up, combining Western fairy tales with Chinese kung fu, what is it called "Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks". ”
Burst!
Teacher Xu glared, what kind of ghost animal title is this?
It's easy to associate when you listen to it.
