Filming continues, and it has been a few days since Chen Long was injured by the "killer". The plot at this moment is already that the prodigal son of the eldest young master turned back and followed his uncle to learn martial arts in the earthen house.

Long Chen's injuries were almost healed, after all, he didn't hurt his bones. At this moment, the crew is filming the clip of Su Qier being beaten because she didn't drink, and Chen Long is practicing various horizontal bars on the side.

The horizontal bar was very common in later generations, but the age of drunken boxing should belong to the period between ancient and modern times, in this period, steel is very expensive, if it appears in the plot, it is obviously not suitable.

So Xu Zhi asked people to form a horizontal bar style with a sturdy wooden stick. It was used to train Chen Long.

In the original play, Chen Long's training is some traditional methods, but after the tempering of various gods in Douyin in later generations, Xu Zhi insisted that Chen Long walked up the stairs on the horizontal bar. also designed a salmon ladder similar to the later American drama Green Arrow training, which was made of wood, just to allow Chen Long to train and strive to be filmed in the movie.

These two scenes are very visually striking, and the horizontal bar staircase step is in the era of mobile networking, and it has slowly become popular because of the convenience of communication and acceptance. The salmon ladder first appeared on a French television show in 1962, but it was too difficult for even a trained person to do so.

In this era, everyone can only rely on TV or movies to accept video information, because of the relationship between cost and timeliness, except for big news and entertainment programs, other aspects are rarely involved.

Xu Zhi just hopes that these two actions can give Xiangjiang people a visual impact, even if it is not helpful to the plot of Drunken Fist itself, but as long as a wave of people remembers these actions, then a positive message will be conveyed and more people can be attracted to watch.

In fact, the Hollywood blockbusters of later generations are the same, most of the plots are messy.

The most unreasonable place is that one type is a movie that resists aliens, everyone alien can come to Earth, how terrifying this technology is, but the army on Earth can still resist, and there will always be a protagonist who blows up someone's spaceship with a nuclear bomb.

Dare to lover that aliens can come to Earth, and don't know what a nuclear bomb is?

This is similar to a modern army discovering a primitive tribe and then defeating a troop with tanks and planes with a swarm of bows and arrows.

Of course, the Italian army was once defeated by the natives, but it was Italians after all, understandable.

But why are Hollywood movies still able to sweep the world? The answer is simple: visual stimulation.

There are two types of human beings:

One is a visual animal that only pursues visual stimulation, which is called a man.

The other is a sensual animal that only pursues emotional stimulation, which is called a woman.

Later Hollywood conquered the first visual animal in the blockbuster mode, and then occasionally came to some emotional topics to conquer the second, so the global film market almost completely collapsed, and Hollywood dominated the world.

Chen Long himself has extremely strong physical fitness, and at his peak, he was able to shoot a fight scene with Li Xiaolong, which was a real fight. Although he had never been exposed to this kind of training before, he still got started quickly by taking the stairs, and as for the salmon ladder, it was indeed a bit difficult, and he was still practicing it.

Next to the shooting scene:

"Cut", Yuan Heping nodded with satisfaction, raised his hand, and hinted that the cameraman would turn off the camera, and every extra minute of shooting would be green Hong Kong dollars.

When the workers heard this sacred sentence, they immediately eased down from the tense atmosphere.

Yuan Heping said to the assistant beside him: "You arrange for everyone to eat! After that, rest for a while, and continue filming in the afternoon." ”

"Good. After hearing this, the assistant immediately went to make arrangements.

"Ah Long's spirit of training is really one of the few in the entire Xiangjiang film industry!" Yuan Heping came to Xu Zhi's side and said with a smile.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, was Li Xiaolong like this back then?"

Yuan Heping smiled: "Yes, but I haven't participated in the movies he made, I've just heard some peers mention it!"

Xu Zhi asked: "Where is the filming of the movie?"

Yuan Heping replied: "According to your script, almost half of the filming was completed, but according to the schedule, it was basically completed." ”

Xu Zhi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Heping replied with a smile: "Xu Sheng, your script is very detailed, and even the specific departure time is recorded very clearly. However, the movie is played, the shooting is filming, and many movies have a one-minute plot, which may take us more than ten days to shoot, and some scenes that appear for more than ten minutes, we may only need to shoot for two or three days.

Now the big plots in front of me are almost finished, and there are only a few longer fight scenes left, as long as a few people are ready, the queue will be very fast. The only trouble is that the movement that Aaron is practicing now is too difficult. ”

The salmon ladder is indeed an extremely difficult action, Xu Zhi also understood, and asked: "Can you use the Weiya hanging line, you don't need to really hang it, just give Ah Long a little lift?"

Yuan Heping shook his head and said: "No, it is easy to be distorted in this way, and the cost will be much more expensive." And Aaron would certainly not agree to that. ”

In the era when there were no computer special effects, how to deal with shooting distortion was a headache.

The common movements are okay, they can be studied for a long time to form a more mature imitation method. Such as horseback riding, flying, XXOO.

But some occasional plots, similar to Jackie Chan's salmon ladder training at the moment, the use of WIA will lead to distortion of movements and expressions, but it is still a matter of money and time, if you are willing to spend time and film, let people slowly explore, and always shoot a suitable video.

But money and time, Xu Zhi didn't have it. What's more, Chen Long definitely didn't agree to cheat.

Xu Zhidao: "But if it goes on like this, it will only delay the filming progress of the movie." ”

Yuan Heping nodded and said: "It's okay for the time being, we can shoot the plot first, and then shoot this scene when everything is finished." ”

Xu Zhi frowned and said, "Then what if Ah Long still can't do it by then?"

Yuan Heping said with a smile: "Then it depends on how Xu Sheng decides, either increase the cost to use the hanging wire, or remove this paragraph, this is just a training process, and it has no big impact on the main plot." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Then let's shoot the later plot first, let Ah Long train first, but after all the plot filming is completed, if he still can't do it, cancel this plot, and we don't have much time." ”

Yuan Heping nodded, it will be summer soon, if it is under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter, ordinary movies can't be released in theaters at all, but Drunken Boxing has already been approved by Zou Wenhuai, the first person in Golden Harvest, and it is certainly not a problem to go to theaters.

Xu Zhi asked: "Have you discussed with the people of Golden Harvest when will the movie be released for us?"

Yuan Heping said: "We have talked to the general manager of Golden Harvest Cinema Line, and he means that it will either be released on July 15th, and there is a vacancy during that time, and Golden Harvest headquarters and several major satellite companies have no plans, but if they miss it, they can only wait after September." ”

Drunken Fist filming is very fast, from June 20th to start shooting, and now it has been almost filmed in ten days, according to Yuan Heping's plan, there are only two or three days left, and then just do a good job of cutting the film.

Cutting the film is very important, whether it is Hollywood or Xiangjiang, this right is very large, some movies, the shooting of thousands of minutes of clips (including a lot of repeated clips), must be determined step by step what kind of plot needs, what should be removed.

This is the nightmare of all supporting characters, many people appear for a few seconds with patience and dedication and even no salary, or have two further sentences of dialogue, but in this last level, it may be directly deleted and everything will be reduced to nothingness.

However, Xu Zhi is not worried about this matter, and the general cutting is very time-consuming, because every decision is important. But Drunken Fist has all the plots set from the beginning of filming, and the shooting is also step by step, even the final cut is the same, and it can be completed quickly.

After calculating the time, Xu Zhidao, who decided that it was okay: "Then make an appointment on July 15th, finish shooting the movie in these days, and then send it for cutting immediately." By the way, don't we need a premiere of our movie?"

Yuan Heping shook his head and said: "No, the general premiere is that the theater chain needs to know the popularity of a movie, and then arrange the film schedule according to the results." Golden Harvest has agreed to give Drunken Fist 8 screens, so there is no need for premieres, but the rules are still the same, add screens if the results are good, reduce the number of screens if the results are bad, or even withdraw the screening. ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Of course, we are very disciplined. ”

It's a pity that there is no premiere, and in this era, the premiere is just a way for theaters to certify whether a movie is good or bad. In later generations, it has already become one of the ways of hype.

The audience for the premiere is basically trusted, anyway, it is all kinds of popularity, and then it will be promoted on TV, regardless of 3721, first trick a group of people to come in on the first day of release.

Zou Wenhuai promised to help in the theater chain, but he didn't promise that it would be released all the time, and other companies also make money, and even the charter fee will not be less, but fortunately, this is something that needs to be paid in the future, and it will be automatically deducted after the box office arrives.

In fact, there are many benefits of having a tiger skin, and newcomers like Xu Zhi who invest in movies will encounter unimaginable problems:

The most difficult thing is to find a theater, it doesn't matter who will bird you if you don't have connections, even if the theater agrees, the first thing is to charter the venue, the older company has a relationship with the capital, this kind of fee is generally deducted at the box office, but the new rookie can't, who knows if your movie will hit the street, the real company has closed down, who will ask for the charter fee?

In these years, there are many people who have invested more than a dozen, hundreds of thousands, and thousands of box office, and the halo of Li Xiaolong's movie success has suppressed all the dark places, but I don't know how many unjust souls there are under the peaks of the Himalayas.

Yuan Heping said: "Okay, there is no big problem in other aspects, I know a master of cutting this piece, I will work with him, and if the cooperation is good, it can be completed in half a day." But this guy in front of him is too strong-tempered, and you have to take care of it. ”

Xu Zhi looked at Chen Long hanging from the wooden pole in front of him, his green muscles burst out, and his whole body was sweating profusely. At this moment, the temperature outside is as high as about 35 degrees, but fortunately, the typhoon is coming, and the wind is still not small. So he said to Yuan Heping: "Ah Long will hand it over to me, I will ask him to give up training first, and finish filming the rest of the plot with you, and also, the typhoon is coming soon, while the weather is okay these days, we must finish filming the follow-up plot." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. Yuan Heping agreed
