Yuen Long, New Territories.

Hong Kong Island is not all metropolises, such as Yuen Long.

In the eyes of Hong Kong Island people, this is really the countryside, with many hills and wastelands, barren mountains and mountains, and it belongs to the poor countryside. In the concept of money on Hong Kong Island, Yuen Long is very unpopular.

However, such a geographical environment has caused many Hong Kong Island crews to come here for filming. Some costume ghost films and zombie films like to come here to film. For example, "Ghost Fight" and "Mr. Zombie" were all filmed here.

Back then, Shaw Brothers and TVB filmed live-action costume dramas, and they often came here to show the "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains" of the motherland. Uncle Shao's business policy is to save if you can, which Wu Xiaozu agrees with.

Nowadays, the Hong Kong Island film industry also likes to come to Yuen Long to shoot mainland scenes. Wu Xiaozu simply tried to make it convenient and arranged the crew here.

It's cheap, it's affordable, and it saves money.

There are many people who think the same way as him, such as Boss Mai in Xinyi City.

………

The set of "Windfall of 30 Million".

There are slides on the mountain road, the camera slowly moves to shoot, and some staff members hold radio microphones.

Executive director Wang Jongzheng and director Mecca are watching from the curtain in front of the monitor.

"Ah Wei, what do you think?" opened, the curtain. Mecca rubbed the stubble on her chin and asked the air beside her, "Do you need another one?"

"It's a good shot. "The line of sight is down, uh...... It turned out that Zeng Zhiwei was also watching together, and said with a smile in his hoarse voice, "This scene is simple, no problem!"

The filming of "Windfall of 30 Million" was very efficient, two hours, and seven or eight sets of shots were taken. In many cases, there is no detailed storyboard script at all, and it is just three or four screenwriters who change words on the spot and write airplane paper to Mecca. Zeng Zhiwei, the "bridge king", also contributed a lot.

In this way, the shooting can still be so efficient, but the problem is that the shooting effect is not bad. This really has to admire these filmmakers.

Wang Jing filmed the script of "Huang Feihong: Iron Fighting Centipede" in the 90s, and he rushed out overnight, and the screenwriter waited next to him on the spot, writing and filming at the same time.

filmed this movie in the morning, and in the afternoon, I had to help Zhou Xingchi shoot the movie version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which also had no serious script. In the evening, I had to rush to the scene to supervise another movie, and there was still no script.

After the big sale of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", before the next "Deer and Ding Ji 2" was released, the next part of "The Story of Deer and Ding 2" has already started filming, which is appalling. But these films can still be a big hit, and they still feel good when they are watched in future generations.

Many Hong Kong filmmakers are directors and screenwriters, writing and directing themselves. They rarely have any so-called professional scripts.

Most directors from the bottom of the set, it is useless for you to give him the script, and you have to have a special person to read it to him, because he is illiterate. Not to mention storyboards.

In the hottest 90s, it was often a few people who patted their heads. OK, just shoot this, okay, you can find Zhou Yanfa, and he will find Liu Dehua. I'm going to find an investor!

Is it ridiculous?

But what is even more tragic is that this method has directly continued to the mainland film industry in later generations. In the first few years of the explosion of the box office warehouse of mainland films in later generations, Wu Xiaozu saw a lot of producers, directors, writers, singers and other messy people who played "building block patchwork" doing this.

When a writer makes a film, the executive director is completely responsible for the shooting. He only needs to be responsible for shooting a few sets of "crew photos", it's true!

Li Xiaofeng can sell for hundreds of millions, Wu Xiaofan is almost worth hundreds of millions, plus Sun Meimei, okay, the heroine is looking for Da Mi Mi.

OK, this film can sell at least 1 billion, let's press the calculator together.

Oops, there's a lot to be gained.

So good, file a case!

This scene is the reincarnation of the Xiangjiang film circle in the 90s. One can imagine the catastrophic consequences of such a bad situation. Anyway, in the 18 years since Wu Xiaozu was reborn, many clever "directors" are reaping the consequences.

Today's Xiangjiang film industry is having a lot of fun. For them, the script doesn't matter at all. This is a trend in the general environment, and it is not something that can be changed by one person alone.

If you do write a script, the owner of the film company will pay for it and then play a gambling agreement with you. Then the movie script you created was a big hit at the box office, and then a group of people came to you with a million checks like their fathers to buy the script.

You're having a plague, are you nervous!?

……

"What was the explosion over there?" asked Mecca as she sat in her chair and turned to the assistant director.

"Mai sir, inquired. He said that there was a new film from Antai Film Company scouting and joining the crew. The explosion just now was the blasting guide at the wiring test explosion point......" The assistant director next to him answered truthfully.

"Antai?Jiang family?"

Zeng Zhiwei held his head in his hands, leaned back on the chair, pulled his sunglasses with his fingers, and looked at the "peers" not far away, "Even the blasting guidance has started, a big scene?"

"If you're interested, take a look—" Mecca grinned, her eyes serious. Where is the funny bald detective in the movie?

"Okay, let's take a look. Zeng Zhiwei stood up with a carp, very energetic.

Antai Pictures was not famous before, and he only knew that this was the industry of Jiang Zuyi of the Hong Kong Island Cinema Association.

But a month ago, a "Butcher on a Rainy Night" broke 10 million at the box office, which immediately attracted the attention of many insiders. He also remembered Antayne's name

In 1986, there were no more than 30 films with a box office of more than 10 million so far, of which more than 90% were the three major films or their subsidiaries.

Therefore, it is very eye-catching for other companies to produce a new drama with a box office of 10 million.

Prior to this, only "North and South Shaolin" of New Kunlun and Yindu Institutions had won a box office of 18.1 million. But that's because it's a sister to the phenomenal masterpiece "Shaolin Temple", and no other company's films can enter the top 30.

suddenly appeared a "Butcher on a Rainy Night", and directly broke 10 million, becoming a dark horse in the off-season of the box office. is so black that it didn't even stop Xu Laowei's "Dao Ma Dan", which is destined to be in the top ten of the year, which is interesting.

……

At the scene of "The Birth of a Word", many staff members such as the camera crew, lighting team, set team, and props team were busy at the scene.

Since the crew is located here, eating, drinking, sleeping, and even transportation all need to be coordinated in the early stage. As the coordinator, Su Liyao and others are scheduling and assigning. At the same time, Wu Xiaozu and Huang Yuetai walked on the set for re-inspection.

"Sir Wu, the bridge is very extensible and the surrounding view is also amazing. Place the upper swingarm. Shooting blast scenes and action scenes will work well here. The sense of space is full, and the characters can fit the position well. ”

Huang Yuetai led Wu Xiaozu to the bridge, turned over and jumped into the ditch, pointing to the clear river not far away, "In the afternoon, I shot the explosion action scene, and the sun was just shining on the water. The refraction ~ should be beautiful.

This long-range shot, with filters and light, will show the loneliness and distrust of each other when shooting the people standing clearly on the bridge. The shadows cast by these pillars naturally divide the figures......" he said, putting his hands upside down to frame a simple hand-viewfinder.

"Wu sir, three cameras. Put one here, and place a stand on the bridge. Hang one on the big swingarm. It's too extravagant......" Huang Yuetai sighed.

There are no big stars in the crew, and the cameras are bigger than the stars.

Extravagantly like eating instant noodles, with shark fin, bird's nest and geoduck as toppings. There is a sense of pride in poor B.

Wu Xiaozu can only experience this luxury. There was no way, when the contract was signed, Jiang Ershao ordered three with a wave of his hand. Afterwards, he asked Wu Xiaozu if it was enough......

There are only two cameras in "The True Color of Heroes" with Wu Tou, and you can imagine how strange the crew of "Zitou" is.

Wu Xiaozu squatted down, raised the camera, and imitated the camera pushing and pulling lens through the aperture of the camera to try the imaging effect.

There is plenty of light in the circle, and the refraction-out water waves are reflected in the lens.

Shooting obliquely, the bridge is indeed as Huang Yuetai said, and the shadows are cleverly divided.

"Let Zou Lin adjust the light source and try to add a few lights. ”

Wu Xiaozu thought for a while and added to Fei Cheng and another field attendant behind him, "The environment here is empty, and the radio and noise prevention should be able to ensure the effect." If the noise-proof sheath is not enough, buy a few more sets...... Don't save money like you did last time you bought a pressure valve...... ”

"Okay big guy. ”

Fat Cheng said with a big bag, "You can rest assured that I will do things." ”

The crew member also nodded, jot down various points constantly.

Also keep in mind some of the "non-compliant" scenes in the vicinity, which you should avoid when filming as a set of duties. For example, when filming a mainland scene, a traditional Chinese billboard suddenly pops up, and it will be an instant drama.

Huang Yuetai couldn't help but smile when he watched this Wu sir lying on the dirt road without any scruples, holding a camera to survey the scene. It's been many years since I've seen such a more serious director of the posterity.

"Bang-"

There was a small explosion, and when I looked up, there were 6 or 7 young people not far away testing the explosion point and the fire.

patted the soil on his body casually, "Brother Tai, go and take a look?" Wu Xiaozu asked.

Together, the two walked towards the sound of the explosion.

"The wiring cloth is longer, and each car must be tied up with a burst ......"

A young and powerful man commanded the pyrotechnics at the scene to carefully arrange the explosion point. Trucks are unloading scrapped cars at the scene. These scrapped cars were bought at the price of iron. A set ranges from 1000 to 2000, and it is 3 or 10,000 yuan together.

"Is this explosive point sharp enough?" asked Fei Cheng curiously, stretching his neck.

The man with the inch-inching man didn't turn his head and said, "Do you think you are filming 007? The police station must report the amount of explosives used in the filming of the movie on Hong Kong Island, and I still managed to get these ashes down." If you want to blow it up, you need special skills!"

"Ali, you said it so well, I don't even want to applaud you. I saw the assistant director Li Jiming and Uncle Li coming over with a smile and teasing, "Giving a speech so hard, do you want the director to add chicken legs to you......

"Uncle Li, it's hard work. ”

Wu Xiaozu greeted with a smile, and turned his head to look at the young man who was talking about the explosion special effects, "Nickname?"

"Brother Zu, my name is Luo Liyuan, and Uncle Li introduced me to start work. ”

"Luo Liamaran......" Wu Xiaozu smacked a sentence in his mouth and shook hands with the other party, "This drama is in such a hurry, you have worked hard." ”

Then, he turned his head to look at the assistant director Li Jiming and Uncle Li on the side, "Remember to put enough lunch materials for the guys." ”

"Your salary is enough, of course everyone is willing to work hard. Uncle Li said with a smile, "Ah Xian, the blasting guide, can fly, explode, and fire all kinds of fun." In "Police Story", he also worked as a flying car stuntman. A very hard-working offspring. “

Looking up, I saw Luo Lixian observing around the unloaded scrapped car, pointing and installing the blasting device.

There are not many action scenes in the movie "Zitou", but the gunfights and explosion scenes are worth adding.

In his previous life, in order to show a unique sense of realism, the explosions and gunfights were very simple. Wu Xiaozu doesn't have to be like this. He has the investment pulled by Du Cannon to support him in the back, and the trench is inhumane, so it doesn't matter how he plays.

Of course Wu Xiaozu is different!

He is poor and just wants to hook a woman with money.
