Yang Qiu stood at the door of the studio and waited stupidly, and a few people squatted at the door of the studio and ate hula. Seeing them gobbling up, Yang Qiu, who had just finished lunch, felt a little hungry.

Look at the leftmost wonton noodles with the bottom, that is, the one who adds an extra portion of noodles, as soon as the chopsticks go down, grunt and pick up a big 'tuo' noodles, and take a bite, and the whole 'tuo' noodles will be ......

Oops! No.

Yang Qiu suddenly looked up at the red light above his head, to say that this light had been on for a long time. From the time the group came out to eat noodles, they were almost finished eating, at least for more than five or six minutes, but the light had not been turned off once.

You must know that after a shot is finished and the director shouts 'click', the light will go out, and it will come back on when the next shot starts.

Besides, there are no large-capacity hard drives or digital memory cards for you to use in filmmaking nowadays, and they are all film, that is, film. And the film is about the box, a box of film, you can shoot a maximum of nine minutes of content, and then you have to change the next box.

But now, one shot is six or seven minutes, what is the situation?

Or what kind of director is so good, Yang Qiu frowned, feeling confused, is there a director who uses 'one shot to the end' to show off his skills now?

It shouldn't be.

The more I thought about it, the more Yang Qiu felt like a cat's paw scratching in his heart, and he really wanted to push the door in and see which awesome director was filming. But as soon as his hand was raised, he felt inappropriate, the red light was on, and then he pushed the door in, in case he disturbed the master's shooting, then it is estimated that he would have to become the enemy of his father on the set.

Yang Qiu knows how difficult it is to shoot a long shot with an extremely long span!

Yang Qiu, who was scratching his ears and cheeks here, didn't notice that a few people eating noodles over there had already put down their dishes and chopsticks, and walked over to the studio while holding their mouths and teeth.

The person at the head was also in his thirties, spit on the ground while picking his teeth, walked to the door of the studio, and glanced at Yang Qiu curiously, but he didn't care, thinking that it was an idler who came to see the Western scenery, so he casually pushed open the door of the studio.

"Hey, ...... inside"

As soon as Yang Qiu reacted that there was someone around him, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a hand had been pressed on the door, and he was about to say the words that were left to stop, when he suddenly remembered that they had gone out from here, and somehow, he couldn't speak.

However, the boss who pushed the door still stopped, and looked at Yang Qiu with a puzzled face: "What's the matter?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

"Heh, the idiot-"

Yang Qiu didn't know if he was stupid or not, but the black lines on his face were sure. watched a few mermaids in front of him rush in, looked at the red light overhead, gritted his teeth, and followed in.

Let's even be scolded, but we also want to meet the director who dares to play long shots now!

it!

it!

it!

What about the director?

Yang Qiu looked around, and saw that in the small studio, in addition to a photographer standing next to the camera, there were two people who Yang Qiu didn't know whether they were Shengdan or Jingmo, wearing the same costumes as Peking Opera costumes and lip-syncing on them.

Yes, it's lip-syncing, and the voice in the film player next to the person is shouting happily!

"The moon to the Mid-Autumn equinox is bright, and the willow ...... Silk ......"

Well, this is the second time that the set has closed up, and Yang Qiu was so scared that he didn't dare to go forward as soon as he entered the door. The few people who had just entered the door were probably afraid of affecting the silence, so they had already stopped and did not dare to move forward.

However, what about the director, what about the assistant director, what about the drama affairs, what about the scene notes, what about the radio operator, what about the prop master, what about the seven aunts and eight aunts, and what about the tricks?

Yang Qiu looked confused!

However, before Yang Qiu was completely stunned, something happened that made him even more ruined.

"Click-"

It's not that the director who doesn't know where to go came out, because this is not shouted by the director at all, but by the cameraman who is looking at a box of film that is about to be recorded.

This 'click' was like a magic spell, and the atmosphere in the studio was instantly relaxed. The photographer who shouted checked the machine and looked back at the few people who had just come in: "Director, this box is finished." ”

Director? Yang Qiuer's face was confused.

I saw that the man who had just scolded Yang Qiu for being an idiot nodded, stepped forward and sat on the director's chair, and said nonchalantly: "After filming, change the next box, let's continue." ”

Taking advantage of this effort, the two actors in front of the set quickly touched up their makeup. The first few people who came in also quickly separated, checking the set of inspection, changing the record for the film player, and even the radio microphone next to the player.

Well, that's kind of a movie.

But......

As soon as the photographer put on the new box, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Applejack, come and watch for me, I'm hungry." ”

"I ...... I won't. The man inspecting the set stammered.

"Miserable!" the photographer tilted his mouth and scolded, "Will it be switched?"

"Uh...... Yes. ”

"Scream! What else do you want!"

“……”

The photographer scolded and scolded, walked to the door, walked to Yang Qiu's side and glanced at him curiously as usual, but maybe he was really hungry, and after a glance, he trotted all the way out of the studio.

Yang Qiu looked at the strange configuration in the studio, suddenly remembered some rumors, and then slapped his forehead suddenly, and ran out before the next shot started.

I'm afraid that I have met someone who made the 'Seven Days Fresh' movie. However, this group of people really played 'one shot to the end'.

The so-called 'Seven Days Fresh' movie is a movie that only took seven days from preparation to release.

Seven days! What is this concept?

That is, excluding the editing, removing the copy, removing the contact with the theater, and removing the actors' preparation, leaving you with the time to shoot the movie, which is only three days at most. At this point in time, there are still people who can compress to the limit, and they can finish filming in one day.

Three days, for the regular crew, the time for the actors to memorize their lines is estimated to be insufficient.

How do these people do it?

Simple!

In recent years, there are many people who like to watch Peking Opera and Cantonese opera, especially in the Xiangjiang area, which is especially popular due to its language. After hundreds of years of development, many Cantonese operas have been performed on stage for many years.

In the past, due to the limitations of technology, Cantonese opera was sold on vinyl records at most, but as soon as sound films came out, some people moved Cantonese opera from the theater stage to the film stage.

You can move it, you can make the Cantonese opera content a little film, and convert a few more close-ups of distant and close-up panoramic views, which is also more exciting.

Don't forget, as mentioned earlier, it is extremely difficult for a Cantonese film to sell well in the first year of the year, so the investment in most Cantonese films is pitiful.

Like Chinese movies, the investment basically starts at 100,000; but Cantonese movies, 34,000, can not be more.

As soon as the money is less, the funds are tight, the film and personnel will be less, and you want to play with the lens, except for the film, no one will play with you. Therefore, these Cantonese films are often filmed in one shot to the end, anyway, they just sing a big show, shoot in front of the stage, and play so many tricks to do something. Now, it's great to save money and effort!

This is the so-called 'one shot to the end'.

But when they do this, they suddenly find that - hey!

How so?

Because now that World War II has just ended, the whole world is in ruins. The enthusiasm for entertainment that had been suppressed by the war for decades was suddenly unleashed, and as a result, the world's cinemas were repaired one after another. There are many movie theaters in this one, and you must at least have some stock of films in your library.

As a result, the owner of the cinema went to the film library to take a look, no, many films were made in the pre-war silent film era, how to take them out to attract the audience.

Buy, buy, buy!

Therefore, these so-called 'seven-day fresh' they filmed, as long as they don't really can't bear to look at it, or repeat it with others, and there is still a bit to watch, they can barely keep their capital, once they are taken to the cinema, the big boss likes it the most, and with a stroke of the pen, you can get a buyout fee of 50,000 yuan.

50,000 minus 40,000! Ha, net 10,000!

Who doesn't do it?

So in the past few years, some people often have an idea and have a good idea, so they ask the boss to pull investment to set up a 'piece' film company to make a movie, and as soon as the film is sold after filming, the company is disbanded, and the next idea is continued, and so on and so on.

Can the film be made in this way?

Therefore, many Cantonese films made in recent years have been called Cantonese fragments, and what can I do if this film is broken.

This is famous along with the "Seven Days Fresh" movie, which is the director of "Wonton Noodles", as mentioned above, I will not say more about the words.

said that Yang Qiu watched the Western scenery once, but he was a little angry and funny, and inexplicably remembered the later Xiangjiang movies, the so-called 'golden decade' after the rapid decline.

But now others are soft-spoken, nothing is nothing, and they can't say anything. Besides, capital pursues profits, and no one can stop him, and he will not go to the mantis arm to block the car.

Do you see those Hong Kong entertainment books, are there protagonists who want to save the Hong Kong movies after 'ten years'?

But think about it, there may be, but most Hong Kong entertainment books haven't written about it yet, or eunuchs, or river crabs.

Thinking about it all the way, Yang Qiu arrived at Beidi Street next door to Hou Wang Temple.

If Youqiao is a small fence courtyard, then the Nanyang studio is a big house, and the wall of the studio alone is nearly three meters, blocking the eyes of all kinds of exploration outside.

It's still Shaw Brothers rich!

Thinking so, he chatted with the doorman casually, chatted twice, and walked to the studio in Nanyang with his feet raised.

This time, the red light didn't turn on, and when he pushed the door, he didn't think about it, and Yang Qiu took another look at the Western scene.
