Chapter 456: The filming was just in time, and the video began to be distributed
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
Lantau Island, Tai O Town.
On the slide, the big-breasted brother sits on the small saddle of the full-size camera rail car, and the meat wraps the small seat tightly. Wearing a coat on his body, it is difficult to hide the majesty of the double lights, and the two chandeliers are trembling.
His eyes were focused on the camera on the fluid gimbal, his hands slowly pushed and pulled to control the camera, and he turned his body from time to time. There is also a focus master next to him, who needs to constantly follow the focus of the approaching subject.
Next to him, Ye Weixin led the two field workers who were sweating profusely and pushed the cart at a uniform speed.
Pushing the slide rail is a very physical work, in the crew, the scene worker of the camera crew is most likely to be scolded is when pushing the track, each cameraman has his own rhythm, and the push-pull jam is different.
This is also the reason why the crew generally chooses camera directors, and the cameramen bring their own assistants.
The bulkiness of the film camera dooms the cameraman to be a particularly "live" technical job. Unlike later generations, pressing a gimbal and small slide under the camera can still shoot blockbuster levels.
The bar for videographers is getting lower. But good videographers have become rare. If a videographer is not creative, it is really no different from salted fish!
In the 80s, the Hong Kong Island crew didn't use many tracks and rocker arms, and Uncle Long borrowed a crane platform to shoot when the crew of "Police Story" was filming. Naturally, there are no electronically controlled rail cars or rocker rail cars, so they can only rely on manpower.
The day that cinema became an industry was accompanied by the use of railcars, which are now quite mature in Hollywood. Through the skills of the shooting staff, it is possible to shoot high-quality pictures with a full sense of space.
"007", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "Die Hard" all used electronically controlled rail cars during this time period.
From here, you can see the industrial gap between Hong Kong films and Hollywood films. It's not a single person's efforts that can be erased.
It's not about effort, it's about national strength.
There were not so many scenes in "Mong Kok Carmen" that needed rail cars, after all, Liu Weiqiang and Ao Zhijun were here. But...... Who made the drama bully Wu Xiaozu the producer and actor.
"God of Gambling I.: Fight Now" involves a lot of commercial elements, and the hand-cranked camera is a joke on such a big production.
Went on a trip to North America.
Even if he didn't enter Hollywood, the professional shooting team hired still made Wu Xiaozu stunned. In Wu Xiaozu's heart, this "God of Gamblers" will have a chance to become "Iron Man 1" of 1024 Locomotive Film Company. Although it is impossible to compete with Hollywood in terms of industrial special effects, action scenes are the strong point of Hong Kong films.
In handheld shooting, it is more suitable for the display of personal style, more flexible and imaginative. For example, "The Birth of a Word", which was rated as one of the ten greatest Chinese works in the 80s by the latest issue of "Film Fortnightly", and "Suspect", the peak level of blue and red tones in this era, are all hand-held cameras.
But for a commercial masterpiece, the rocker slide car and the full-size camera slide are absolutely indispensable. Wu Xiaozu also borrowed "Mong Kok Carmen" to do some experiments.
This is like Jiang Wen using "Looking for a Gun" to experiment with his own ideas. The last smile, it's so special Jiang Wen!
Wu Xiaozu is a businessman, but he is also a director.
In the previous life, Spielberg was a director in front of the camera, and an outright businessman behind the camera.
As a director, Spielberg filmed "Sindra's List", and for this, he had to compromise with Universal, which led to "Jurassic Park" that he directed.
At the same time, he is also a pure businessman.
As a director, he watched and shot many of the movies he wanted to shoot, just as Wu Xiaozu chose to shoot "Suspect" and "The Birth of a Word".
However, as a businessman, Wu Xiaozu must be profit-oriented.
It is precisely because Wu Xiaozu knows that literary films are an indispensable part of Chinese films, so Wu Xiaozu "worked tirelessly" to introduce Deng Guangrong to Hou Xiaoyuan, so that he could shoot "Love in the Dust". However, on the side of a businessman, he can't know that he lost money, and Wu Xiaozu still jumped into the pit, right?
If Wu Xiaozu had this kind of gene, then he would simply bring Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaoyuan, Yang Dezhuan, and Xu Anhua under his banner! What a utopia?
In a word, filmmakers are never pure!
People are not one-sided animals, and multi-faceted nature makes it impossible for you to set a person with a simple label.
The world is not black and white, and it is not all light.
Wu Xiaozu doesn't look down on literary films, nor does he look down on commercial films.
However, if you want to become bigger and stronger, and go long-term, commercial movies are undoubtedly more suitable! You can't say that Uncle Long's influence is smaller than Wang Jiawei......'s, right? He is most annoyed by some people in the cloak of literature and art who use the status of film history to make trouble.
The local film people you admire are really so literary and artistic, so self-conscious, why do you care about these? May I ask, is this the same as the box office order?
Scene.
Wang Jiawei crossed his arms and looked at Wu Xiaozu with a constipated face-
"In terms of color, this scene is a little warmer, and Ah Xia's vest is red. The male protagonist's shorts are changed to a different color. The distinction between cold and warm is clear.
The style of the whole play is a colorful heartbeat, and the blue and red symbolize the pure love between Ah Xia and Ah Zu. But blue-red is not simply blue-red, it must echo each other from afar......"
"I think it might be better to be quieter in this scene. Wang Jiawei interjected.
"No! this scene can be lively. There are only two people in the whole play, and the relationship at this time is the most warm for the audience.
This kind of warmth and liveliness can also highlight the tragedy and tragedy after the plot!" Wu Xiaozu neatly vetoed Wang Jiawei's opinion, and did not leave a B face at all.
In later generations, many people said that there was a difference of thousands between Zhang Jiajia and Wang Jiawei. So now, between Wang Jiawei and Wu Xiaozu, there should be a lot of Liu Weiqiao!
"...... like this"
Wang Jiawei opened his voice, and without waiting for his words to fall, Wu Xiaozu lit the light group not far away with his hand holding the cigarette, "You must pay attention to the lighting, this pseudo-natural light, color contrast, saturation contrast, cold and warm contrast should be paid attention to." ”
“……”
Wang Jiawei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
But they are really professional, their logic is clear, and they can't justify themselves...... And then you have to admit that the other party's vision is really unique!
Filming officially began.
Qiu Shuxiao was wearing a V-neck vest, a denim hip-wrapping skirt, two big white legs were exposed, and her hair was tied behind her, pure and sexy.
Ah Xiao held his little hands behind his back, his white calves kicked forward one by one, lowered his head and smiled, his face flushed, and whenever he raised his head, his eyes were full of love to look at Azu who was wearing shorts and vests and carrying a wooden box next to him. In these scenes, the two of them can all be regarded as off-season shooting.
Last night, she went back to the same happiness as when she was 13 years old, and today she is more and more relaxed in her performance, and she goes straight to the vacuum.
Compared with the figure-eight shape of the man god, Qiu Shuxia's is undoubtedly stiffer and rounder.
It's a little white rabbit, it's white and white, it's really loved!
"Laughing?"
Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Azu, who looked at the chicken wings of the two wooden boxes on his shoulder, arched his shoulders and arched Azu.
"No. Ah Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, and her shoulders were pushed back.
Under the afterglow, the two of them laughed and played with each other like children.
"It's so heavy, your boss told you to carry it alone?"
"yes. ”
"You tell him, call you like this again, be careful that I blow his head! A chicken wing hits a hammer!" Azu carried the wooden box on one shoulder, and put his other hand around Ah Xuan, and his hand hung down—
"Crazy line, inner ......"
"What's the point, you're calling me stupid?"
This section is shot in the background, and the two people use small interactive actions to enliven the whole picture.
Ah Xia's playful back hook foot, Azu is very in line with the character, and the other hand is free from the waist, directly under the short skirt, making Ah Xiao clench his fist and hammer him.
When young men and women are in love, men are not hairy, and that is really ...... Either men thieves or female thieves. Otherwise, the two of them will be soaked in ...... Friends, friends who take a bath together are not counted!
"It doesn't matter, I'm not going to do it anyway. ”
"Don't do it?"
"I want to go to Kowloon to find a job. ”
Ah Xiao smiled and dodged, turned around playfully, and looked backwards at Azu, his eyes pure.
"Okay, it's convenient for me, move in with me. Azu laughed.
Ah Yu turned around again, his eyes were bright, and he smiled very honestly, "Don't talk about it a second time, I'll really take it seriously next time!" Stopped, stared at Azu, his expression calmed down, and said seriously: "I'm not joking." I go out and I won't come back. As he spoke, he gently stroked his hair, and glanced at Azu with a slight smile-
When "Mong Kok Carmen" was filmed, more than a dozen video halls in Hong Kong suddenly cut ribbons and opened together.
At the same time, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", "The Birth of a Word" and the recently released "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" all appeared in the video rental store.
Many white-collar workers who have left work have discovered this situation when they stay in record stores.
The most popular is the release of these dozen video halls.
Many students wearing school uniforms rushed into the video hall to buy tickets to watch, "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" is a restricted movie, under the age of 18 are forbidden to enter the theater to watch, but the video hall is not prohibited!
In the past, it was difficult for minors to pass the test by being restricted by theater supervisors, but Cai Zhiming directly ignored these and directly violated the rules!
The sudden appearance of the tertiary video tape on the market has directly attracted the attention of many men.
Countless men in record stores and video halls tossed and turned, and finally chose to review the history of the Tang Dynasty when they finally left.
In just a few days, the videotape became popular all over Hong Kong Island, and many videotape owners urged Huanyu International to quickly distribute the goods.
The tape was a bit sold out for a while!
This is the first time a record store has seen this happen!
At the same time, the popularity of the video hall has also made many clubs see the opportunity. At this time, Hong Kong Island is not like the mainland, and there is not so much difference in cinema ticket prices. So not many people are willing to choose a video hall.
Therefore, video halls on Hong Kong Island are not as ubiquitous as those on the mainland in later generations.
But the emergence of a third-level movie suddenly broke this tranquility!
Many people suddenly realized that salty and wet films are the correct way to open the video hall!!!
