San Francisco Bay Area.

An American muscle car with a red 1967 Ford Mustang GT 500 is parked on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The setting sun shines on the sea, and through the iron net, the spots are scattered.

Huge ships with black smoke slowly passed under the bridge, black smoke, slanting sun, dirty water, rusty railings, noisy seagulls, smudgled pavement—white breath from the mouth and messy stubble.

The brim of the one-piece hat was stained with dirty grease.

Huge cameras hang from their booms and hang outside the Golden Gate Bridge.

Pan Yusheng, who was wearing an overcoat, operated the camera on the gimbal stabilizer, hanging on the sea, staring intently at the camera.

Huang Yuetai, who was wrapped in a yellow leather jacket, sat on the slide car, and the assistant worker behind him slowly pushed and walked along the semi-circular track, with a red light flashing in the camera, and the picture recorded the back of a man, his eyes stared at the image, not daring to relax a little.

A white videographer steers the Steadicam, the camera slowly pushes forward, and next to Liu Weiqiao is also in the same outfit, the camera catches the change of light - a black Lincoln with a shiny paint finish slowly stops.

Warm headlights, black paint, crystal clear windows, shiny brown leather shoes.

"Smack-"

The door closes, yes, it closes.

A gray slim-fitting British-style suit with two long legs in front of him. The camera in Qiu Litao's hand slowly shook up.

On the side, the fixed and buried camera position shoots a backlit silhouette, looming.

"Oh, shit! this is a really bad place......"

Fingers gently slid over the extremely neat and delicate Clark Gable-like mustache on the mouth, and a tie clip with a unique style like a Western five-colored dragon was pinned to the spotted tie, and the middle was inlaid with black gems, like a black dragon's eye, like a black dragon.

A black silk scarf on the chest is edged with metal gold trim.

The reason why the preliminary preparations for "God of Gamblers" were overstayed was that many very exquisite props and costumes were customized according to Wu Xiaozu's requirements.

Zhang Shuping and Yu Jiayuan, two art directors, were responsible for data collection, and according to Wu Xiaozu's requirements, they specially designed costumes, sets, props and character modeling for each character.

This work began with the first scouting of "God of Gamblers", and it took several months.

There are more than 100 artists, costumers, and stylists in "God of Gamblers", not to mention the non-staff tailors.

The voice was casual and British.

"Thousands of people commit suicide here every year. ”

The voice from the back of the cap was low but disapproving.

"Would you be one in a thousand, then?"

The beard of the man in the gray suit is slightly upturned, and from the side of the camera, you can see that his hair is meticulously combed on his half-long back, and the rings on his fingers dance flexibly on the tips of his fingers......

Airplanes!

The whistle of the giant ship and the slanting sun made everything not warm, but a little bleak.

More than 7 cameras were used to capture this set of images.

"Click-"

Suddenly, the man in the denim jacket waved his hand, and the scene instantly relaxed from the tense atmosphere, like an oil pot into water, and instantly became lively.

"Hurry, hurry!!"

"Hurry up and clean up the sanitation on the ground! All the equipment should be put in order quickly!"

"Hurry up and move all departments!"

In an instant, hundreds of people rushed into the shooting site and got busy, and the picture that was quiet just now exploded instantly.

Zhou Yunfa hurriedly spit out the ice cubes in his mouth, in order to create the effect of white gas, he had no choice but to make this decision, after all, San Francisco rarely has this kind of cold weather throughout the year. However, Wu Xiaozu hopes that this effect can be achieved. Liang Jiahui next to him also hurriedly changed out of his expensive gray suit.

"Director Wu, hurry up, the city hall stipulates that we must call it a day before 5 o'clock! Otherwise, they will complain about us! Also, the people from the actors' union asked us to fill in some information......

A man in a suit and leather shoes gathered around Wu Xiaozu like a fly.

"Long-haired !!," Wu Xiaozu roared with a walkie-talkie.

"Coming soon!"

Qiu Litao was directing the on-site staff to dismantle the machine in full swing at the top of his throat, and when he heard Wu Xiaozu's shout, he ran over panting, "Brother Zu, is there something wrong with me?!"

"Get him for me!"

Wu Xiaozu's face was cold and angry and pointed at the man in the suit who was carrying the briefcase behind his buttocks, "Don't let him bother me again!"

“YESsir!” Qiu Litao hurriedly pulled the man in the suit aside, and began to be accommodating bitterly......

"Fack!"

Wu Xiaozu couldn't help but spit out angrily, "The Yankees are full of trade unions, and there are complaints everywhere! Even if we pay the fine, we still shoot supervisors to supervise our filming! I would like to introduce you to Mak Dangxiong -- he didn't even report for filming on Hong Kong Island, and went on a rampage on the street!"

The staff from the surrounding Hong Kong islands held back a smile and did not dare to speak, and the hired American employees looked at Director Wu inexplicably, shrugged their shoulders, and did not understand what this Chinese was doing.

"Man, this Chinese is cool. A young and handsome old black gestured to his companion.

"Walter?"

"Ahh......h Hey...... I said that his rap was very rhythmic, like Brooklyn cocaine, which was a big hit, and he had a lot of stock, and he was excited to run......"

Listening to this handsome black buddy's spitting, Wu Xiaozu, who understood his black rap slang, instantly darkened his face.

In fact, he estimated that filming in the United States would be subject to difficulties of one kind or another, and he thought that he could overcome them somewhat with his own experience.

But......

When you really get here, you will feel the impact of this side that is different from the oriental culture.

The status of the Chinese here is very low.

You must know that San Francisco is also one of the Chinese communities in the United States. California is a very tolerant place. But discrimination is still pervasive.

The rules and laws that make a film shoot here can really be devastating. Fortunately, there are people here who are professionally responsible for the film business to help deal with these problems.

Filming the Golden Gate Bridge requires a lot of formalities.

There is certainly no problem with such a regulation, and it is true that it should be followed.

But.

When this kind of rule affects your creation all the time, people will inevitably have an angry mentality. Wu Xiaozu, the tyrant on the set, was very irritable.

Of course, you have to say that the various shooting rules here also make every job very professional. This kind of specialization is hard to find on Hong Kong Island and even in Asia as a whole.

American staff are very time-sensitive. It's not that they can't work overtime, but that they really have to have corresponding benefits for overtime. This is unimaginable on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this profession.

The only bad thing is that the money is like water!

In the previous life, after the decline of Hong Kong films, countless Hong Kong film directors actually chose not to go north. Instead, he went to Hollywood and the United States to make a living.

Bleeding from the head.

Uncle Long was interviewed in later generations, and when he came to the United States for the first time to make a film, he was really stunned by their professionalism! Everyone performed their own duties, and the entire crew was like an engineering team that had always been professional, with a clear division of labor.

The impact of this perfect industrial system on people is extremely huge.

Even Wu Xiaozu, a practitioner who has experienced all kinds of experiences in later generations, still has great feelings.

However, if you don't dare to fight hard, you really don't dare to fight hard!

Otherwise, Uncle Shilong's many shots of jumping wild with his life would not have made Lao Mei stunned and pointed to the picture and asked: Oh, buy ga!ho is this!!! what kind of shot?

Uncle Long ??? a question mark face, and said impatiently: What are you talking about? What are you talking about with the two of us? It's over jumping! It's useless to say anything else!

Here, if Wu Xiaozu wants to make the stand-in jump like that, he will be murdered by the actor!

The first time he accepted the film culture here, Wu Xiaozu, who already had his own style, was really uncomfortable.

This contradiction cannot be eliminated by touching the upper and lower lips.

American dramas will probably be filmed in California and Nevada, and there are not many actors involved, and many interior scenes can be filmed back on Hong Kong Island. After all, the consumption of shooting here is really like water!

28 million Hong Kong dollars, and you can't help spending!

The first time he experienced American film culture, Wu Xiaozu did not go to Hollywood.

Looking at Qiu Litao, who was constantly communicating with the supervisor, Wu Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he was ready, it was really hard to venture into Hollywood!

Under the rules here, Wu Xiaozu is just a small director from the East. There is no autonomy at all!

Seeing that the gap is not terrible, what we are most afraid of is that we don't even dare to learn, we have to play closed off the country!

This is indeed worth learning from.

Wu Xiaozu soothed the sullenness in his heart, but was able to objectively appreciate the cultural impact of the East and the West.

Comparatively.

At least for Wu Xiaozu at this time.

He is undoubtedly more suited to the shooting style and atmosphere of Hong Kong Island.

I am also very glad that I can have time to level up in the novice village, at least Hong Kong Island can provide him with a protection period of four or five years, which is rare!

He can now experiment with any genre of film that he is weak in, and add it to his film style. You can continue to learn and fill in your professional shortcomings.

I'm pretty lucky.

At the very least, he can slowly think about his own film style and slowly precipitate his film skills. Slowly appreciate the differences between the best forts in the East and the West, and study the body structure.

Therefore, he can grow to this point in just two or three years.

The low threshold of Hong Kong films allows him to enter it and explore slowly.

Hollywood competition, even with Li Amine's talent, still has to be silent for 6 years and then silently return to Wanwan to complete his first masterpiece "Pusher".

Hollywood is really unfair to the Chinese at this time.

Talent can only be displayed when you have a stepping stone, and without a stage, you still can't realize your talent.

Discrimination?

Scold.

Probably in the United States, Asian skin is indeed a difficult stepping stone to knock on!

Skin is a barrier that Asians can't get rid of.

Don't look at the United States talking about equality and human rights all the time.

If you believe him, you believe in a ghost!

What do I come, I see, I conquer? Wu Xiaozu is not so boring. He was just sure that when he could create benefits, his skin would not be an obstacle!

It's not that you can't talk about dreams in a money society, as long as your dreams are in line with their view of money, it's OK.

Lao Mei is really realistic.

Wu Xiaozu quite likes this kind of reality.
