PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket.

"Brother Zu, a broken machine costs 3,000 yuan a day. Can't you be so exaggerated?"

Fei Cheng felt a pain when he thought of the camera he rented this morning, and he couldn't help but complain, "These rental companies are simply grabbing money, and a broken machine is worth more than a group of tricks." 3,000 Hong Kong dollars! You can whip a street on Polan Street! Look at Jade Terrace talking about human rights every day, and in the end, people are cheaper than machines! Don't the justices of the peace care?"

"Justice of the Peace, will you go to the morgue and care about you?" Luo Dong sneered.

"Wow, I don't have anything to say when you say that. Fei Cheng exaggerated.

"3,000 yuan is not expensive. If you don't have acquaintances, you can't take 5,000 yuan. It's the film that really costs money. Qiu Litao fiddled with the camera in front of him familiarly, and did not raise his head. Liu Weiqiang nodded, bent down to hook the base of the camera, and was skillful. This time to rent a camera, Liu Wei made a lot of efforts.

"How?" Wu Xiaozu walked over and looked at the machine in front of him.

"Media Asia's equipment is OK, it's a little old, but it doesn't affect the shooting. Qiu Litao said.

Liu Wei straightened his waist and gave a thumbs up, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Zu." No problem. ”

Media Asia is not only a publisher, but also one of the leading equipment leasing companies on Hong Kong Island. Although it has not set foot in the production field in the past two years, it has also begun to penetrate the investment and production field. I think that as the movie gets hotter and hotter, it will also end up making money.

"Good. Pack up and get ready to go to worship. Wu Xiaozu nodded, very satisfied with his assistant director and cameraman.

Photographer Liu Weiqiang needless to mention, he became famous in later generations. A "Infernal Affairs" is enough for him to blow water for a lifetime. Not to mention the director's level, in terms of camera, he is one of the top cameramen on Hong Kong Island.

Qiu Litao, one of the few filmmakers with a professional background. The camera technology is also very good. But it's very sad that none of the films ever filmed have been nominated for the Academy Awards, and they have never been able to escape the fate of the evil director.

Not many people in later generations knew him, but the few cult films and genre films he directed were famous.

"Ebola Virus", "Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun", "Taxi Judge". It can be called the representative of Xiangjiang CULT films.

I believe that many people are no longer eating barbecued pork buns after watching "Eight Immortals Restaurant".

Including the subsequent social and realistic films such as "Waiting for Tung Chee-hwa's Fall" and "Young Prostitute", they are also quite standard.

Not commercial, not mainstream. Walking on the fringes of mainstream cinema in Hong Kong, this is Qiu Litao, a cluster of low-budget films.

……

Not far away, a simple wooden table was placed in the middle of the venue, and Guan Erye stood majestically on the offering table with a knife. Small - suckling pig, roast goose, roast duck, melons, fruits, pears and peaches are placed in front of the second master. The camera was also pushed over at this point, covering it with a red cloth.

Turn on and worship God!

The opening worship festival was originally passed down from Liyuan Xing.

It is rumored that Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Ming Dynasty beat the drum well, not to mention, but also falsely rumored to be able to sing a small flower face, and often asked people to sing in the pear garden in the palace, so he was played a celebrity effect by the opera company and respected as the ancestor. Therefore, before the opening of the pear orchard, we must worship this ancestor.

I don't know when the Hong Kong film industry has also become popular with this set of worship. However, the filmmakers are not so tall and have special ancestors.

Therefore, the popular idol Guan Erye was chosen to worship. Who let Guan Erye manage the leniency? not only to make a fortune, but also to fight and kill!

Those who do business on Hong Kong Island worship him! Mixed associations also worship him! Poor people worship him. I really don't know which side Guan Er Ye should help.

There are several rumors in the film industry that they do not worship God and have supernatural events. The picture is auspicious, Wu Xiaozu is not exempt from vulgarity.

In later generations, this set of things was also introduced to the mainland with the northward movement of Xiangjiang filmmakers, and it immediately became popular among countless crews. It seems to prove that this is a way to prove that this industry has a long history and pays attention to tradition!

In fact, none of the crew learned that Guan Erye was loyal and righteous, and did not invade his sister-in-law. All the workers from the director to the scene wished that the sisters-in-law would not seduce them, and they would carry knives on the kang by themselves.

The dirtiest place in the world is the entertainment industry.

Lighting cannons, twisting incense, sacrificing and reading, worshipping God, more than a dozen people twisted incense sparsely, and inserted incense one by one into the incense burner in front of Guan Erye. These things were not completed by Wu Xiaozu, but by Uncle Li, who served as the assistant director of the film.

An "old man" who came all the way from the set to do chores and tea. For these processes the door is cleared. Wu Xiaozu was very glad that he had found such an experienced veteran to help him through Li Zhaoji's connections.

The entire crew does not count the actors and the staff of the drama, there are only a dozen people in total, and the standard grass stage team, called the miscellaneous army in the film industry, is considered to be promoted.

How many people are behind the scenes of a crew is the standard?

Based on the average standard of Hong Kong Island film shooting, it is almost 50 people.

Small cost, hundreds of thousands of millions of investment in the film is almost 30 or 40 people, the big production is relatively richer, and the crew of the family class filming "Police Story" is all counted, and there are two or three hundred people.

Comparatively speaking, the crew of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" is considered a low-cost low-cost film.

In the previous life, Lao Mouzi's "Fighting Monsters with Big Sweetness" crew. The labor used for reclamation and landscaping is not calculated, and the entire crew has more than 1,200 behind-the-scenes personnel, including more than 100 translators alone.

The phenomenal movie "Wolf Warrior 2", the whole movie has a total of more than 4,000 shots, and the crew has more than 1,700 staff at its peak. The absolute lineup is huge.

The crew of Wang Gawei's "The Grandmaster" was divided into more than a dozen groups for cross-regional shooting, and each group had nearly 100 people.

Of course, the Xiangjiang in 1986 was naturally not so exaggerated, but the production team, director group, lighting group, set group, camera team, modeling group, costume group, props group, field affairs group, art group, and action group were already relatively standardized, counting martial artists and apprentices, the number of people was also quite large.

Even the positions of tea, combing, and driver are relatively clearly subdivided.

Wu Xiaozu naturally didn't have such arrogance, he only had a dozen guys in front of him.

In the crew of "Butcher on a Rainy Night", Wu Xiaozu led the two positions of acting and producer. It's like rebelling against the state pastor and the Taishou, no different from this king and that emperor of the peasant uprising, it's all for the sake of sound.

After all, it is an independent producer, and it doesn't matter if the producer is a producer or not.

There are two assistant directors: one is Qiu Litao, who has a solid theoretical profession and talent, and the other is Li Jiming, who is experienced and sophisticated.

The camera director Liu Weiqiang and the lighting team lighting director are called Zou Lin, who are responsible for the lighting and scenery.

Counting the props and makeup, in addition, there are some temporary employees. The whole is considered simple.

Even Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao, although they have little experience, they have to help with chores and serve as apprentices.

Su Liyao and Luo Dong helped in the props group, while Fei Cheng followed Liu Weiqiang as a handyman. Not to mention cameo roles.

It was in this humble environment that the crew of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" was established.
