Chapter 6 Film Films, 400,000
"Do you really want to open the film?"
Not only was Fei Cheng surprised, but the other two goods were also staring.
Movie.
Film films.
That's right, cinema at this time was completely different from later generations of digital filmmaking.
In the future, you can hold a 5D Mark 2 SLR and complete all shooting tasks except high-speed shooting. Even after the emergence of 5DMark4, you can directly connect to your mobile phone and use your mobile phone as a monitor, and it doesn't matter what lens you take. Shooting movie posters is clearer than a digital camera.
But now it's different.
The threshold for film is too high! How high? How high is it? How high is it!
Equipment limitations, film restrictions, and complex technology are all extremely demanding in this industry, and the industry selects people!
Therefore, for ordinary people, the work of making movies is really a very high-level means of making a living, a real technical job.
Many people think that being born again can make a movie?
In fact, this is as nonsense as rebirth, writing scripts, selling money, and engaging in a gambling agreement.
The words of the charter wife scolding the tailor in "Kung Fu" are just right for these people:
A rabbit for one day, a rabbit for life. Sleeve white shorts can't hide the red panties you wear inside, white and red!
Film cameras are huge, extremely complex to operate, and cumbersome to use.
How to cut each shot, how to bury the camera, how to deal with the scene, and how to deal with the shot according to the environment, script, character psychology, and lighting. These belong to the craft of taking money to eat.
In the film era, a camera assistant could do it.
In the photography department of the film academy in later generations, the basic skills training was first changed for a few months.
The film box is 1000 feet, and the camera is 400 feet, and it takes 35 seconds to blindly change the film in the dark, import another 400 feet, quickly spray the shot, and then come on action.
Of course, the film cannot see the light, and it will be scrapped as soon as it is exposed.
How many feet of film is there in a movie?
According to the 90 minutes of a movie, that is, 5400 seconds, the camera is 24 frames per second. The movies are all in 35mm copies, about 2000-3000 or so, and a plate can be shot for 4 minutes.
Not counting the cost of processing and copying, this is about 45,000-65,000, and the waste rate is very bullish, down to the lowest 3:1, about 150,000-200,000.
If you waste a plate, you say that the director and the cameraman will not come up is a kick.
Want to eat a boxed lunch? Eat - you have to eat cold.
The fast shooting speed of Hong Kong Island films in this era is not only due to some factors that later generations said. Film is too expensive to waste.
In the previous life, the little fresh meat's acting skills were not up to par? OK! Cut out?OK!Read 12345?OK!Anyway, take a few more shots, anyway, digital shooting. As long as there is time, the director doesn't matter.
Not at this time, the director will not reshoot. If you don't shoot well, you will be scolded. Liu Dehua filmed three dramas, was scolded more than a dozen times a day, and cried with his agent. The next time I filmed, I didn't dare to move because of the pain in my body and bruises on my arms, and I didn't dare to move until the director called the card.
In the Hong Kong Island film industry at this time, the film ratio can reach 1:5, which is a super big production of conscience. For example, Li Hanxiang went to the mainland to make a film, and he was shocked by the China Film Studio, which was a big investment and a big cast in the T-M-D cliff! A group of China Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, and Qingying Studio all came to visit.
The first is to learn how to shoot by a great director, and the second is to see the grand scene of local tyrants using film.
It's true!
So, at this time, if you are asked to shoot for ten months, you can't shoot, there is not so much film. Of course, if you call Wang Jiawei, that's a different matter.
The king of sunglasses shoots a film than pit investors to death, which is really a pit death.
How long did he shoot a "East Evil and West Poison"? three and a half years!
Not to mention the death and life of the actors, the investors almost jumped off the building, so they hired someone to hack this one to death. If it weren't for Liu Zhenwei's friends to support him, the king of sunglasses might have become an iron crutch king.
For a movie, the film money will cost tens of millions, and it can only be said that Wang Jiawei is not making a film, but is really a bundle of burning money to play art.
Just because making a movie at this time is not as simple as a digital movie, Wu Xiaozu's words are indeed a bit shocking and worldly.
"Questions?"
"Nope. Luo Dong blinked.
"I have. Fei Cheng raised his hand and scratched his head, "Which of us knows how to make films?"
"Is it hard to make a film?"
Fei Cheng and Su Liyao are like garlic. Luo Dong also looked at Wu Xiaozu, with a confused face, and a cold face with a look on my face Although I don't study much, don't lie to me.
"Of course! You see Zhou Yanfa snapping with a gun, so advanced. Now he is the most beautiful, even more popular than Xu Guanjie. ”
"The True Color of Heroes" kicked off the real golden prelude to Hong Kong films. had to serve the white pigeon Wu and create a Feng (zhuang) god (bi) masterpiece.
"It's a huge cost to make a film, and it seems that we don't have any money. Su Liyao reminded embarrassedly, "In addition to the 2,000 yuan spent in the store, I also have a big golden calf and a big bull, a total of 1,500 yuan ......" (the big golden bull is 1,000 face value, and the big cow is 500 face value.) )
"All my belongings are here—" Luo Dong took his wallet and opened it, almost six hundred yuan.
Seeing that both of them took out their family backgrounds, the eyes of Fei Cheng on the side began to dodge. In addition to helping in the store, he also drives taxis from time to time to earn extra money.
But—
It's hard to put into words.
couldn't withstand the eyes of the three people, and the fat turned over his pockets with twists.
Clank, a few coins fall out.
Honey-juice embarrassment! Not to mention an embarrassing word, this is simply embarrassing.
"Why aren't you poor to death?" Luo Dong glanced at Fei Cheng, turned his head and said to Wu Xiaozu: "Brother Zu, if you need money urgently, I can go and get some." ”
Wu Xiaozu waved his hand and pointed at Fei Cheng, "Go and help me carry the bag." ”
I opened the bag, a few changes of clothes, a gold watch, and then took out a Standard Chartered bank passbook and an HSBC cashier's check.
The three of them were stunned.
Flipping open the deposit slip and promissory note, the amount on it is dazzling.
270,000 certificates of deposit and 150,000 promissory notes.
"Now that the British government in Hong Kong has become a welfare home, there is money to be made in prison?" Fei Cheng stared at Wu Xiaozu with incredible eyes, "Big man, do you want to exaggerate like this? You show off your wealth like this, which makes me very shameless." ”
Luo Dong and Su Liyao were also shocked.
Wu Xiaozu smiled and pointed his finger at his head, "I've told you a long time ago, and now I'm talking about eating brains." After speaking, he explained with a smile.
"I helped the sirs to apply for benefits from the police and the welfare department when I was in prison, and the relationship was very good. Let Ah sir, who is off duty, help carry some cigarettes, posters, food and some mild contraband. You know, in that place, cigarettes are food. If you can get the goods, you already have to make money.
Usually, in order to cope with the inspection, I ask them to keep cigarettes and some contraband here, which is not only safe here, but also gives a little interest.
Then I turn these items around at a high interest rate to those who need them, and it is easy to earn some living expenses.
It's nothing more than giving some to the sirs, and eating alone won't work inside.
You must know that although the Causeway Bay Correctional Camp does not hold felons, the rich guys will be locked up here, they are not short of money, but they are short of all illegal items. If you want to enjoy these things safely and comfortably, you will inevitably pay a high price to find me to dredge. Even if it is the most ordinary commodity, a cigarette is worth 20 Hong Kong dollars, do you still think it is a lot of money?"
The three of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"Wow, big man, this is better than loan sharking. Fei Cheng shouted excitedly.
"I'm more used to calling it the prison bank. Wu Xiaozu shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be like the wind, often accompanying me.
The greatest advantage of future generations is the way of doing things and the vision from a high level.
This business is not imitated by no one in prison, but there is no need for Wu Xiaozu to make friends with these sirs to come forward, Wu Xiaozu will kill those old boys in a few moves.
There's a word in the line called a run. Not very clever, but very effective.
Not to mention that the sirs took great care of Wu Xiaozu because he helped them apply for benefits. Others want to play, and they are sure to be made miserable. How many joints, how many people take money, you dare to stretch out your hands indiscriminately?
cut off the financial path of the sirs, like the wife and daughter of an adulterer.
So when he first entered the ancestral hall, Wu Xiaozu's first thought was to have a good relationship with the sirs.
Because, no matter how much you know how to eat your brain, you can't compare to someone with a cover!
