Hong Kong Island, 23:00 p.m.

Lee Court Restaurant on Mong Kok Laundry Street, diners are boiling, and the tables are full.

Lee Garden Hong Kong was founded by Mr. Chan Shu-kit, the youngest son of Chan Chi-tong, the "King of the South", and since the first Lee Garden in Sham Shui Po in 1973, five Lee Garden restaurants have been opened on Hong Kong Island.

The five Lee Gardens are all top-notch and popular with gourmets across Hong Kong. Cai Yan, an expert who knows how to eat, is full of praise for Li Yuan, and also wrote a special article to praise him.

Wu Xiaozu politely rejected the proposal of the two daughters to sing karaoke, and drove the red rooster from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok Sai Cai Street.

Before leaving, looking at the second daughter who was quite interested, Wu Xiaozu regretfully glanced at the brightly lit clock hotel not far away. Singing karaoke will definitely drink, this situation Wu Xiaozu can endure, worthy of his name as a gentleman!

Huh!

For Wu Xiaozu, flirting with girls is still not as attractive as Hong Kong dollars! Whether the two girls are good or not is not discussed, but he understands what he wants better.

If he can't start the play in time, hundreds of thousands of yuan will really be thrown in, not to mention, he can't afford to pay for the investment in opening a new play.

He was under a lot of pressure. Out of trust, Jiang Zhiqiang went to Wanwan overnight tonight to contact the filming. Before leaving, he threw Wu Xiaozu a cashier's check.

1 million!

Wu Xiaozu always felt that he had cheated himself. knew that Jiang Ershao was playing so big, he would rather lose more than 100,000 yuan. Anyway, Jiang Ershao also said that he paid the bill.

But now it's not going to work, the words are blown out, this movie is not successful, and he estimates that he will become Wu Gonggong.

Women and money, Wu Xiaozu chose the latter. He's a bastard at heart, but he's an extremely striking bastard.

I don't have the money to hook a girl, and when I am a little white dragon, I am cool for a while, and then I am ridden?

Inside the Lee Garden Box.

The wine cups are staggered, and the atmosphere is full.

Wu Xiaozu sincerely and politely picked up his wine glass, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was leaning his shoulders and looking ordinary, "Brother Tai, I'm sorry for you this time." The new drama is on you!"

"What's the matter, Director Wu, you're too polite. ”

Huang Yuetai pressed Wu Xiaozu's arm with his hand, asked him to sit down, waved his hand in a kind tone, pointed to Liu Weiqiao, who was slightly embarrassed to accompany him, and said with a smile, "Ah Qiang is my apprentice, you give him a chance to let him come out, it's too late for me to thank him."

In our line of work, practical experience is more important than theory, and if you don't take the mirror yourself, you will never know how to shoot. This time, he asked me to help, and it is naturally my duty as an elder. ”

Huang Yuetai's speech is very flat, and he speaks very slowly, but he is very clear. The words also reveal the meaning of promoting the younger generations.

If you talk about the most united and grouped filmmakers on Hong Kong Island, you must count the profession of cameraman. The dragon and tiger martial artists are not so united, after all, the martial artists of the Yuan family class, the Hong family class, and the Cheng family class are still distinct and quite estranged.

The first professional association for Hong Kong Island filmmakers is the Hong Kong Island Cinematographers Association (HKSC), which will be launched next year.

Huang Yuetai, who likes to speak with his shoulders slanted and does not look amazing, has served as the president. And he sat for 18 years! until he passed on the throne to his apprentice grandson Liu Weiqiang.

In the photography industry, the taste of inheritance is stronger than that of any profession. The lens requires talent, and it also needs a master to inspire and hone you.

The most basic job of a photographer is to convey the director's creative intent through the lens in his hand.

A good cinematographer is an addition to a director. A good videographer can bring a lot of different visions to the director, so as to burst out more inspiration.

When the king of sunglasses filmed "The New Year of the Cheongsam", two excellent photographers, Christopher Doyle and Li Pingbin, brought him a lot of inspiration with their lenses. A piece of God!

Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung are as mellow as red wine with each other's pretentious, soft, and small tastes. The taste is full of fun, and as soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is particularly greasy.

Christopher Doy and Li Pingbin used their lenses to perfectly create the ambiguity and entanglement of feelings, psychological contradictions and wandering atmosphere. Sublimating feelings through the lens is the foundation of a good photographer.

"Master, I'm sorry for your trouble!"

Huang Yuetai on the side smiled faintly and shook her head lightly to indicate that it didn't matter.

Liu Weiqiao turned his head and solemnly raised his glass, looking at Wu Xiaozu apologetically, "Brother Zu, this time ......"

"No, it's my side that went wrong. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, you also said hello in advance. ”

Wu Xiaozu put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup and wine bottle and poured himself a glass, and said with a smile, "Besides, you also invited me to help the great god Brother Tai, so I took a big advantage......

"Brother Tai, this drama is tight and has a heavy task, and I have been bothering you to accompany me to the New Territories to survey the scene in the past three days. ”

Wu Xiaozu took a few more pieces of paper and handed them to Huang Yuetai, "This is the shooting outline I wrote." You take a look. The film is shot in two parts. The first part is cold and gloomy, full of chaos, and the second part is full of hope!"

"I'll take a look......" Huang Yuetai wiped his greasy hands, took the paper, hung the myopia glasses hanging on his chest on the bridge of his nose, and read them carefully.

Filming outline of "The Birth of a Word":

In the opening scene, a long lens pans in, the camera pans, and the front is arced from left to right.

Close-up, frontal, head-up, fixed. Close-up of Huang Agou's palms and mouth movements. One grid and one grid are stretched back, showing the middle scene of Huang Ah Dog and the fortune teller.

Close-up and pan, out of the room, the light suddenly changed, suddenly there was a sound, people coming and going on the street, shaking, a large wide-angle panoramic shot, panning to the next character......

The first sheet of paper is densely packed with shot setups, and some shots are blank, which requires determining the camera position and depth of field after a location survey to determine the storyboard script.

The second sheet of paper, in the style of a nine-panel comic. The first picture: The man labeled "Liu Qingyun" sits sideways in the picture, stretching out his arms on the table, his palm prints visible, and his brow furrowed. Indicated in fortune telling.

In the second picture, the stall, the fat boy with the label "Li Licheng" squatting there to pick a necklace.

The third picture: The man with "Wu Zhenyu" standing under the bridge, holding a pager in his hand, and a phone booth standing next to it.

The fourth picture: two men, one strong and one thin, standing by the river, carrying a swimming ring in their hands.

The fifth picture: a man kneeling in front of Guan Gong, and a man behind him angrily scolded.

The sixth picture: a huge clock hangs on a building, and faintly, a person on the top of the building stands on the edge of the building, crumbling.

Picture 7: In the gloomy tea restaurant, seven simple figures that are not unrelated are seated in various places, each diagonally facing a round table in the middle. The picture can show a kind of confrontation and hostility.

Picture 8: Looking down on the visual, seven people are gathered around a round table, with seven hands stacked on top of each other.

Picture 9: A T-junction, at the end of the T-shape, seven shadows appear in front of you, from far to near. Recently, a person wrote the name of "Liu Qingyun". Seven men were standing, leaning against a wall, sitting on the edge of the road, or leaning on a street lamp. It is obvious that there is a strong sense of space.

Huang Yuetai looked at it intently, and turned to the next page, which was densely packed with many shots and light elaborations.

"Whew-"

Huang Yuetai silently put away these pieces of paper and looked at Wu Xiaozu with a glittering gaze. For the first time, he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine, "Director Wu, I toast you." I've made so many films, and this is the first time I can understand what I'm talking about without having to look at the camera. I've made for New Wave filmmakers, and I've made for all the big directors. Some of them have a lot of requirements, and some don't even know how to hold the camera......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but give Wu Xiaozu a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

"I'm willing to take this job. As he spoke, he tilted his head and toasted his glass of wine.

"Brother Tai is polite, I was also forced to go to Liangshan. Wu Xiaozu accompanied a cup,

"You said that you were forced to go to Liangshan...... Huang Yuetai teased, "I was made to Liangshan by you?" Speaking of this, he glanced at his apprentice Liu Weiqiang, and everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"If you earn me, you will join the gang, I think your mountain has a better future than Liangshan. Huang Yuetai laughed and joked.

"Brother Tai, don't worry, your old man is like Lu Junyi, even if you go up the mountain, you are the second in command. The fat man on the side poured a full bottle of wine diligently, and flattered, "Brother Tai, look at your filming, can you let me learn from you......

Fat Cheng rubbed his hands together, "Ah...... Brother Qiang said that you are the master of our industry, and you are also my grandfather, I think you, the ancestor, should pass on my hands more-"

"Ahem..."

Huang Yuetai was choked by the wine and coughed dryly, his eyes swept to the helpless face of Liu Weiqiao next to him, and he couldn't help but smile, "Okay, if you like to learn from me, then learn well." If you don't understand something, ask Cuong. ”

"Thank you, Master Zu! Thank you, Brother Qiang!" Fei Chengtian shamelessly blended into the team.

This made Liu Weiqiao next to him almost collapse. One didn't pay attention, he actually had a cheap fat apprentice?

……

The play "The Birth of a Word" has too strong personal style. Wu Xiaozu will never be crazy enough to be as willful as Wei Jiahui and make a movie with such a good theme into an experimental work, right?

Wei Jiahua is extremely good at telling stories, but when he is a director, he really likes to be out of line. does not deny the brilliance of the movie "The Birth of a Word".

In terms of structure, theme and connotation, comparing movies of the same genre, whether it is the pioneering work "Song of Opportunity" in 87, or the most famous "Lola Don't Cry, Stand Up and Masturbate", "The Birth of a Word" will kill them in seconds.

But the shortcomings of this film are just as obvious:

Slag quality sound effects, shaking to the point of vomiting, inverted shots during fights...... A litany of shortcomings can be cited. But the reason why a classic is a classic is that it is destined to have a little light enough to cover these shortcomings.

A good story is the foundation of a movie.

Wei Jiahua is very evil, and when he met Pan Hengsheng, who was coaxed by the stream of ideology, the two of them bent a good story, broke it, broke it, crumpled it, and put it into a lot of strong styles to convey this story obscurely.

As a result, those who read it will not be able to put it down. Those who don't like it will directly scold the street.

Wu Xiaozu is not Wei Jiahui, so there is no need to copy his shooting method.

It is destined to be a Wu Xiaozu style "The Birth of a Word". Even if it was a gimmick, in 1986, it was enough to kill the New Wave group.

Looking at Huang Yuetai, who was wilting and gnawing on pig's trotters, sipping a little wine, and eating very fragrantly, the corners of Wu Xiaozu's mouth curled.

What is Huang Yuetai's film style? Many filmmakers may not be able to give an accurate answer. Because his own photographic style is eclectic and unobtrusive.

Whatever the director wants, he will give you, ever-changing, and each one is not weaker than others.

This is indeed a great god!

With this big name in the film industry, Wu Xiaozu has a lot of confidence.

Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are the most loving. Only Liu Weiqiao's master Ao Zhijun is missing, and the master is all there, will the master be far away?

Each director in later generations had his own royal cameraman.

The king of sunglasses used the royal camera Du Kefeng, Du Qifeng's favorite general Zheng Zhaoqiang, Xu Ke's Cai Chonghui and Huang Zhongbiao, Chen Musheng's beloved Pan Yaoming and so on.

This is all a fate that has been run in step by step, and it is hard to find. The director chooses the cinematographer, and in the same way, the cinematographer chooses the director.

In the future, when it comes to Wu Xiaozu's royal photographer, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren serve left and right, hiss, this feeling, beautiful!

Unconsciously his big-breasted brother also mixed into the team of photographers.

Wu Xiaozu felt that he walked with the wind-
