Chapter 288: Coveting the Japanese Music Scene
What is special effects, mainly using special photography and special synthesis of film and television dramas, are all special effects. Of course, this definition can never be defined by Xu Ziming, but on the contrary, it is defined by a well-known encyclopedia in later generations.
After inspecting the layout of the set, after sharing the content of the special effects with Lin Zhengying, Xu Ziming asked Liu Guanwei to personally arrange the good people and discuss the next arrangements with the Tsuburaya team.
Although the Tsuburaya tokusatsu team is good at monster tokusattsu, with the help of suitable real props, they can also easily solve the effects achieved by those special effects.
The Tsuburaya special effects team was busy on the set for about a day, and gradually knew the general plot direction of "Zombie Supreme" and what kind of artistic conception it needed to embody.
In fact, due to the difference in culture and language, even if someone who understands Japanese is on the side, it is not possible to vividly convert the photographic terms of the two countries between them, so there are some minor problems in the whole communication process.
Lin Zhengying put the peachwood sword on one side and said to the short man who knew Japanese: "You go and ask how their special effects team made the opening scene of the movie more secretive and full of special effects." ”
The short man quickly told Lin Zhengying's request to Nagashima Yu, and soon relayed Nagashima Yu's words to Lin Zhengying's ear, and the short man explained: "This Japanese man said that when filming the first scene of the opening, Mr. Lin, when you appear, you can symbolically use some unique things to portray. The best photographic angle can also be taken to reflect the ...... , their special effects team said they could reshoot the first act. ”
Lin Zhengying nodded, and when everyone saw Lin Zhengying, the first brother of the psychedelic film, nodding, they were all very conscious, and they came out one after another. The Japanese tokusatsu team took over the camera equipment and began to reshoot according to their shooting angles and plans.
As a director, Liu Guanwei has been savoring the unique charm of this on the sidelines.
The special effects skills of the Tsuburaya team were too clever, and as a result, it was enough to reshoot once, and Liu Guanwei and Lin Zhengying carefully stared at the reshot shots, and only felt that it would be perfect with a slight modification in the later stage.
The filming of the whole plot progressed in an orderly manner, and soon the plot of the female ghost was filmed, the beautiful female ghost incarnated by Wang Xiaofeng, the two apprentices played by Xu Guanying and Qian Xiaohao turned their brains in circles, and it was funny to fix the four judges who took care of the lonely souls and wild ghosts with talismans, so that they made a big mistake.
In the face of the disciple who made a mistake, in the plot of the original time and space, Uncle Nine just hated iron and scolded a few words. However, there are many variables in this time and space, and the ninth uncle played by Lin Zhengying has undoubtedly added some moderate plots to the play, not to blame the disciples at the moment, but to beat the two disciples as a warning.
"It hurts, it hurts, master, the disciple will definitely not be in the future. Xu Guanying and Qian Xiaohao touched their buttocks that had been kissed several times by the peach stick, moaning in pain many times, and their expressions of pain were intriguing.
"Hey, you two, how could I teach you such an untalented disciple as a teacher. Lin Zhengying's brows were deeply furrowed, like an angry and helpless Taoist priest.
"Click, this scene is perfect, it's over, A-Ying, A-Hao, you two are too realistic. Liu Guanwei excitedly stood up from the director's chair.
Lin Zhengying's strict requirements made the whole plot go particularly smoothly, especially the expressions of the characters, everyone basically grasped it very well, and it can be said that this shooting was the most relaxing for Liu Guanwei.
The scene reporter handed each a glass of water to Lin Zhengying and Liu Guanwei, Liu Guanwei took a sip of water and said: "The filming in the morning is almost over, everyone takes a break to drink saliva, don't get tired, continue in the afternoon." ”
The director has spoken, why should a group of people be embarrassed by themselves and not rest, Liu Guanwei has nothing to do and pulls Lin Zhengying to continue to discuss the special effects with the Tsuburaya special effects team.
Xu Guanying and Qian Xiaohao touched their buttocks that were beaten because of filming, and they were bitter in their hearts.
"You said that this ninth uncle is really, just acting in a play, is it necessary to be so serious?" Qian Xiaohao saw that Lin Zhengying had just walked not far, and began to complain.
Xu Guanying: "Hey... Hey" sighed a few times, and said helplessly: "Who called this plot such a sin, it has to be played realistically, and the audience can enjoy watching it." ”
Qian Xiaohao said again: "Anyway, if we act so well, will we increase the salary?" ”
Xu Guanying said speechlessly: "Do you really dare to think that we signed a contract with the Oriental Film Company, and only when the movie we made is very popular, it is possible for the salary to rise sharply for a few days." ”
Qian Xiaohao said proudly: "Our psychedelic film production department shoots so seriously, I think other production departments are definitely not as good as ours." ”
Xu Guanying said happily: "If we can win the first place this quarter, we will all follow suit." ”
The two of you said a word, Wang Xiaofeng, who had just taken off his costume and changed back into formal clothes, walked over excitedly, smiled at the two and asked, "Your acting skills are really good." ”
When Xu Guanying, who was drinking water, heard this, she immediately choked on the water and said disdainfully: "Your ass is really beaten, believe it or not, you will have a realistic expression of pain." ”
Wang Xiaofeng sarcastically said: "It's not that you two unscrupulous disciples, who are too obsessed with women, provoked the ninth uncle to be angry." ”
Qian Xiaohao touched his head and said speechlessly: "This is also the fault that you, a female ghost, are too tempting and provoked." You look like a red face and a bad person, which mortal man can not be moved when he sees such a beautiful female ghost. ”
Wang Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "Are you scolding me or praising me?" ”
Qian Xiaohao suddenly stopped talking, to be honest, Wang Xiaofeng is indeed very attractive, especially the appearance of the female ghost is even more charming.
"Of course, it's to compliment you on your beauty. Xu Guanying also became a little clever.
............
By combining their special effects skills with those of Hong Kong photographers, Tsuburaya's tokusatsu team is bound to produce a product that is much more sophisticated than a single photograph.
Compared with the previous life, "Zombie Supreme" in this time and space has made a qualitative leap in both the plot and other aspects, and more importantly, the Tsuburaya special effects team has been engaged in the filming of the "Ultraman" series, and has a very high degree of psychological control over children, making the shooting angle of "Zombie Supreme" more comedic, without too much frightening.
In the following days, the Tsuburaya special effects team is still assisting in the shooting, but the Japanese Tsuburaya Company has been urging on the phone about Xu Ziming's financial support, hoping to get Xu Ziming's actual action.
Tsuburaya is short of funds this time, and there are no sponsors in Japan willing to pay for the production of a costly TV series like "Ultraman", so Xu Ziming is his only trusted partner now.
In the office of the Oriental Film Company, Xu Ziming looked at the recent financial situation of the Round Valley Company, and his brows were furrowed.
"Mr. Nagashima, the funding problem on the part of Tsuburaya is about how much money is needed to maintain normal operation. Xu Ziming closed the file and asked.
Nagashima sat down and said with a frank face: "At present, it is very difficult to obtain funds, and at least two billion yen of liquidity is needed to enable the work of all parties in Tsuburaya to carry out normally. ”
Xu Ziming was a little surprised when he heard it, if the two billion yen was placed before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement", it would not be a problem for Xu Ziming.
However, since Japan signed the Plaza Accord with the United States last year, the yen has appreciated sharply, and the value of the yen has increased by 2 billion yen, which means that it was only 200 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning, and it is now nearly 400 million Hong Kong dollars.
HK$400 million is not a small amount, but it is the sum of the net profits of Hui Ziming's Kowloon Motor Bus and Chung Wah Bus in a year.
Although Xu Ziming is rich now, he can't be too capricious.
"Mr. Nagashima, two billion yen is too much, and the current situation of Tsuburaya is complicated, and if I spend so much effort without any return and effect, I am really unwilling. ”
Nagashima Yu hesitated for a while and asked, "Is Xu Jun worried that the harvest is not ideal like going to Tsuburaya for the first time?" In fact, when I came, President Tsuburaya had already said that it would be okay if Xu Jun wanted shares of Tsuburaya Company, as long as it was not too excessive. ”
"Of course I want a stake in Tsuburaya, but that's not my focus. Xu Ziming said bluntly.
"What is the point of Xu Jun?"
"I want to use Tsuburaya's connections and reputation to make Hong Kong records a big hit in the Japanese music scene. "In Japan in the 80s, although the film market was not as good as Hong Kong, the music scene was far stronger than the Hong Kong music scene.
For example, in the Japanese music scene during this period, there were countless battles for beauty, and any Japanese singer brought it out was a singer who would become famous in the future.
Tsuburaya Company has asked for itself this time, and Xu Ziming will definitely strengthen the cooperation between the two sides and let Tsuburaya Company serve as a Japanese agent record company, which is a starting point for Xu Ziming to open the market of the Japanese music scene, nothing more.
Hui continued, "The Japanese music scene is arguably the most prosperous place in Asia, and most of the popular songs in Hong Kong every year are reworked from Japanese songs. I would like to leverage Tsuburaya's fame in Japan to co-create a record label that specializes in distributing Hong Kong records. ”
Feitu Records' current market is still only in Hong Kong, Nanyang and other places, and in the Japanese music scene, only a few people such as Tan Yonglin and Teresa Teng have a place.
If Feitu Records can sell well in Japan, a vast music scene, each album of Feitu Records will sell hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
The matter of Feitu Records should not have been bothered by Xu Ziming so much, but didn't Ye Zhiming look forward to such a day for a long time?
Nagashima Yu smiled: "No problem, I think Mr. President will agree to Xu Jun's idea." ”
In Nagashima's view, Xu Ziming's conditions are normal, compared to those companies in Japan that are eyeing Tsuburaya Company, it is considered very good, although Tsuburaya Company is now in financial crisis, but Tsuburaya's reputation is indeed very large.
Xu Ziming saw that the other party was not dragging his feet, and said: "There are so many funds at once, there are too many funds, I need to divide it twice." When Mr. Nagashima returns to Japan this time, he can take 500 million yen first, and I will personally bring the remaining 1.5 billion or so to Japan after a while. ”
"Okay, Xu Jun, thank you very much. "Nagashima is sincerely grateful.
After Chang Daoyou left the office, Wang Jiaojiao, as Xu Ziming's secretary, handed over a document, "Mr. Xu, this is the list of all the artists of the Oriental Star Agency. ”
Although the Oriental Star Brokerage Company has been created, Xu Ziming is still considering the suitable person in charge.
"Give this list of artists to Ma Chengkun and let his "Oriental Daily" report it. ”
After what happened last time, Wang Jiaojiao didn't dare to ask more.
Xu Ziming is now a little inflated, at this moment he wants to show off the huge size of his Oriental Film Company, so many well-known artists in Hong Kong are under his own, this news will definitely shock and scare other film companies in Hong Kong.
