Chapter 136: Crazy Boy, a movie romanticized by heroes
PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
Causeway Bay, the filming site of "Crazy Boy".
Hou lost money against the big ass face, and touched the Panavison camera with a 35mm French "love Zhanneng" lens hanging in his hand with affection, and his face was full of envy.
This envy made Liu Weiqiang on the side stare at him nervously, for fear that Hou Xiaoyuan would touch his fat hand with round short fingers!
He was distressed!
Panavision camera, without lens, about HK$1.7 million to 3 million. However, in general, this company only rents and does not sell. The rental cost is also expensive, about 5-80,000 yuan a week.
Even if the shooting cycle is fast, it will take about two weeks. In other words, this movie only counts the cost of equipment, and it will cost between 10-150,000.
The lens of Ai Zhanneng, 16,000 Hong Kong dollars, although it is not as exaggerated as the 160,000 shots of Hollywood's "Terminator", it is enough.
A camera with a rental fee of 3,000 is not the same as a camera with a rental fee of 50,000.
The picture quality of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" has some problems in terms of resolution, sharpness and deformity. Wu Xiaozu can't change this.
Therefore, Wu Xiaozu chose to shoot a movie with the main focus of "Lin Guoyun" Liang Gallium-hui.
Cheap machines and lenses have small 'image fields' and 'image circles'.
There are many dark corners around the edges of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", which is naturally a shortcoming in the movie.
The vignetting angle is a slight black circle, but Wu Xiaozu cleverly used this black circle at the beginning, which increased the atmosphere of the mirror image.
In the visual habits, when the surroundings are darkened, the visual center of the human eye naturally stays in the center, that is, Liang Jiahui.
So there are a lot of close-ups in "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", and the atmosphere is also very dignified, which is Wu Xiaozu turning his shortcomings into advantages. Focusing all the audience's attention on Liang Jiahui can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Liang Jiahui showed divine acting skills, not only his own strength, but also Wu Xiaozu's credit. This can be seen by people in the industry. Therefore, this drama will attract the attention of many people in the industry, so that he came up with his "The Birth of a Word".
In addition to intrigues and tricks, Director Wu is serious about making movies!
In terms of movie lenses, as the saying goes, romance chooses a magic mirror, rotten dramas use a British mirror, and Guanxi teacher uses a German mirror!
What they all have in common is high resolution.
This is equally important for the big screen and female stars. The difference between Li Zongx and Mr. Chen is not only the technique, but also the lens......
In later generations, many people felt that if Wu's head had cut Xu Yi's flesh a few catties more at that time and chose to use the magic mirror to shoot "The True Color of Heroes", the effect would have been better.
Then Wu listened to it and filmed "Red Cliff". Everyone thinks that he uses violent aesthetics to interpret "Red Cliff", showing a romantic epic sense that is not inferior to Zhang Qi.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the impression left by this movie on everyone was only the commotion of "come on, come on, come on!......
Later, he began to use IMAX technology to shoot "Taiping Wheel", and the post-production company also spent a lot of money to select the post-production team of "Titanic" and "Avatar".
He wanted to be the Cameron of the Chinese-speaking world, but accidentally became Anthony......
Don't think that you can make a film when you are reborn, can you not see you using your mobile phone to shoot "The True Color of Heroes"? Wu Yusen was also scolded for filming "Pursuit......
The story is important, and so is the technology!
For example, Wang Zuamaranth has a first-class figure and appearance, but the two AOE damage skills of Thousand Phantom Tongue Technique and Rabbit Tooth Scraping are the root cause of Director Wu's surrender every time.
It's not a big deal to be born again! It's important that your brain doesn't hit the ground first.
So when you look at small-budget movies, they can especially show the acting skills of actors.
Because of the small cost of the image quality slag itself, the resolution at the edge of the picture drops quickly, and the pixels around are flattened, and the director no longer focuses on the actors, so he really waits to hit the street......
This is also the reason why comedy and horror films are popular with small budgets.
"Crazy Boy" can't be filmed at a small cost.
The biggest limitation of framing in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai is that in addition to the large flow of people and the difficulty of shooting, the most important thing is that the lighting is complex and unstable. At this time, shoot with 3,000 Hong Kong dollars leased equipment and eat jujube pills.
Wu Xiaozu picks and chooses, but he is very serious when making movies.
He knows himself!
knows what is the capital that he can talk and laugh with Xiang Sheng.
In addition to being handsome, it is natural that you can make money by making movies!

"Hero romanticization?"
Liu Weiqiao and Qiu Litao frowned and looked at Wu Xiaozu, not understanding the meaning of his mouth.
Gangster movies romanticize At this moment, Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" has just touched the signs. The bridge scene in "The Birth of a Word" can be regarded as a synthesis of the use of violent aesthetics. But the whole movie can be said to be dramatic, but the characters are definitely not romanticized as heroes!
In later generations, the films shot by the two directors on Hong Kong Island were very heroic romanticized, the one who filmed modern dramas was called Du Qifeng, and the one who filmed costume dramas was called Xu Yu.
"That's right!"
Wu Xiaozu took the transcript and explained, ""Crazy Boy" itself depicts brotherhood and hot-blooded youth, whether it is Chen Haonan or Pheasant, they are romanticized heroes......
The romanticization of the film mirror can highlight this kind of personal heroism that is different from Zhang Qi's style. Hou Xiaoran interjected lightly beside him.
Yoh?
Qiu Litao and Liu Weiqiao looked at each other, and they both felt that they had underestimated this Wanwan dumpling! Hou Xiaoyuan is well-known at the film festival at the moment, but in the commercial film circle on Hong Kong Island, it is not very effective......
Around 2000, Xiao Gangcang, the only commercial director in the mainland who sold money, was not taken into account by the eighteenth-rate directors on Hong Kong Island, let alone Hou Xiaoyuan in 86?
I forgot to mention that there was a director in the Chinese-speaking circle in later generations who was extremely poetic and romanticized in his works, and that person was called Hou Yuan...... Hou Xiaoyuan!
Wu Xiaozu will not be so extreme, and he will not choose to take a damn long shot for romanticization.
The reason why he romanticized it can't be "star-making"!
This romanticized film style full of brotherhood and passionate youth is very suitable for bringing out stars. That's right, star!
Wu Xiaozu's customs are vulgar and elegant. Vulgar, but also so elegant! For example, brushing your teeth with Lao Wang. How many girls are willing to swallow toothpaste?
Lao Wang was accustomed to Wu Xiaozu's elegant appeasement...... This is the Ya of Yamai Butterfly!

Filming scene.

After Luo Dong's two movies, he also has some thoughts about the identity of the movie actor. After playing the starring role this time, he also made up his mind to enter the entertainment industry.
However, the name Luo Dong is a bit "notorious" in Causeway Bay, so Wu Xiaozu gave him a stage name with a wave of his hand: Luo Yijian.
Liu Furong, Fang Shilong (Chen Gangsheng), Zhang Fazong...... At this time, it was popular in the Hong Kong Island entertainment circle to change its name.
"Brother Zu...... What is the origin of Luo Yijian's name?" asked Shao Damei suspiciously.
"It symbolizes that while Adong recognizes himself, it is very easy to do things, and he can get better and better in the entertainment industry!" Wu Xiaozu explained with a deep smile.
Sister Shao's head was pounded with garlic, and she looked satisfied.
Therefore, it is logical that Dong Ge instantly transformed into Luo Yijian.
Looking at the happy scene, Wu Xiaozu touched his nose.
