Chapter 347: Itinerary
Liu Liwei and Yu Yunkang left, and within a few days after that, Jiang Ran's work assistant Li Dongxian sent news that the film and television company had set up a project to open a new movie adapted from a realistic theme for Yu Yunkang.
After the time entered mid-August, "Jiang Ran and His Wife" has been started for nearly a month, and the crew has now run in to the best state, and the production progress of the film is getting faster and faster.
So far, after a month of shooting, the film has almost completed nearly half of the filming work, and according to this schedule, Jiang Ran is sure that he can complete all the shooting tasks in another month.
"Mr. Jiang, the demolition team is ready!" Du Qifeng walked in front of Jiang Ran and reminded in a low voice.
Jiang Ran had to shoot this time, with many professional thermal weapons and some blasting scenes that seemed very hot in this era.
To be honest, there are not many professionals in the current Hong Kong film and television industry, after all, Hong Kong movies are mainly concentrated in comedy and martial arts action movies, and there are not many gunfight movies and big-scene movies.
At this time, Hong Kong movies can be linked to big scenes are Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung's movies, but they are still used the most in stunt scenes such as flying cars and jumping off buildings, and the lack of really commendable explosion scenes is very rare.
As for shootout movies, in recent years, because of the excellence of "The True Color of Heroes", it has developed in Hong Kong, but it is still not the mainstream in the circle.
After all, in the past few years, in the film market, although a large number of movies have followed the trend because of the outstanding performance of "The True Color of Heroes", because Ranfeng Group controls Chow Yun-fat's films, there are not many gunfight films that have really achieved good results.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the weapons used in these gunfight movies are basically light weapons, so in Hong Kong now, there are very few behind-the-scenes professionals who are really proficient in various light and heavy heat weapons.
Therefore, when Jiang Ran needed to use a large number of cutting-edge thermal weapons and explosives talents in film shooting, he had to look for talents in Hollywood and his company's security team.
"Jianbing, do you have any problems over there? Be careful, today's scene is not small, don't have accidents. After Jiang Ran listened to Du Qifeng's words, he directly found the person in charge of the blasting team.
Shao Jianbing, a mainland veteran, had participated in the Sino-Vietnamese War in previous years — a common trait of all mainland veterans in Jiang Ran's security team, who was good at explosives.
It is precisely because of this that he was pulled into the crew by Jiang Ran and became the leader of the blasting team of the crew, and with the assistance of Hollywood professionals, he established and cultivated professional blasting talents for Ranfeng Group.
Mr. Jiang is relieved. I've checked it three times and there is absolutely no problem. Shao Jianbing confidently patted his chest and assured Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, let's start shooting." ”
Jiang Ran said and came to the back of the monitor, picked up the megaphone and shouted: "Attention units! Now start cleaning up the scene, unrelated personnel leave the scene, all units are in place and get ready, and we will start shooting in five minutes." ”
With Jiang Ran's words, the entire crew was mobilized in an orderly manner, and a few minutes later.
"The demolition team is ready!"
"Photography in place!"
"Recording in place!"
……
After the various crew units were in place, the scene notes were played and the demolition team began to explode, and the villa in front of them poured out huge smoke and fire from the doors and windows of various places in the "boom" explosion.
"Okay! Everyone pack up, let's prepare the next set of shots. Jiang Ran looked at the picture in the monitor and exclaimed with satisfaction.
"Mr. Jiang, there are a few itineraries that I need to confirm with you. Jiang Ran had just turned out from behind the monitor, and Li Dongxian lost no time in coming over and asking for instructions.
Jiang Ran is accustomed to Li Dongxian's frequent appearance in the crew, "What is the itinerary? There should be no major events in the company during this time, right?"
Li Dongxian opened a folder, glanced at it and said: "On the 20th, the movie "Extralegal Affair" jointly produced by McDonald Company and Siyuan Company will be released in our Ranfeng Cinema, Mr. Mai sent an invitation to the company, and I would like to invite you to attend the premiere ceremony. ”
As the most important partner of Ranfeng Group, Mai Dangxiong has set aside a movie schedule for him every year during the hot schedule in order to further envelop and appease the other party.
And this year, at the end of August, Mai Dangxiong's company touched the tail of the summer file, and the movie released was obviously "Extralegal Affair" jointly produced with Siyuan Company.
Jiang Ran looked at Li Dongxian with some surprise and asked, "Siyuan Company, doesn't Wu Siyuan have a good relationship with Jiahe, how can he bring the movie to our theater to be released?"
"I heard that Golden Harvest's own production of "Flower Girl Madness" just collided with their movie, so if Wu Siyuan wants to operate "Extralegal Affair" to be released on Golden Harvest, he needs to wait until the end of September. "Lee Dong-hyun obviously knew about this before.
To be honest, in Hong Kong during this period, several major cinema companies had their own film and television production companies behind them, and in the arrangement of film screening schedules, almost all cinema chains' first choice would be inclined to favor the movies they produced.
Like Ranfeng Group, the behavior of setting aside a special schedule for outside film companies during the hot schedule is very rare in this era, and therefore, now Mai Dangxiong is becoming more and more affectionate to Ranfeng Group.
Jiang Ran nodded clearly, thought about it, and said, "If you reply to Mai Dangxiong, just say that I will attend the premiere of "Extralegal Affairs" on time." ”
"Okay, Mr. Jiang. Li Dongxian nodded and replied.
"In addition, the final of Miss Asia is about to start. ATV is consulting your itinerary and hopes that you can take the time to come over before the official game. Lee Dong-hyun then reported.
Jiang Ran slapped his head when he heard this, and said, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." You can contact ATV and confirm the itinerary as soon as possible. ”
"In addition, I only participate in the finals of Sister Ya. Well, you tell them, I'll only have a maximum of two days on my side. Jiang Ran thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang. Li Dongxian nodded and said.
"Hey, that's right!" Jiang Ran asked again: "How is our Charm Angel Project going now?
"I don't know much about the specifics. Li Dongxian said with some apprehension: "However, I heard that they seem to have started omni-channel distribution now." ”
Jiang Ran just glanced at Li Dongxian, didn't mean to blame him, nodded and ordered: "In this way, you go and inform Yong Yiyi, let her come to my office tomorrow morning, I want to know the progress of the Charm Angel Project." ”
"Okay, I'll let you know right away. Li Dongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.
"Hmm! what else?" Jiang Ran asked casually.
"Every day, there will be a new magazine on the market in a few days, and Mr. Zhao wants to report back to you. Lee Dong-hyun then said one more thing.
Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao, you contact him, and say that I don't have time here for the time being, so he will be gone." You just pay attention to this matter and ask them to give me a specific report after the magazine goes public. ”
"I see, Mr. Jiang. ”
After Li Dongxian left, Jiang Ran continued to shoot in the crew, and it was not until after the end of work that he called Du Qifeng, "Adu, I need to go back to the company tomorrow morning to deal with some things, and you will take care of the crew for the time being tomorrow." ”
"No problem, Mr. Jiang. Du Qifeng nodded and agreed.
