In the office of the crew of "Prison Storm", Wu Huo said: "Brother Luo, at this shooting speed, we won't be able to catch up with the Christmas schedule!"

At this time, Chen Jialuo was also frowning, and the shooting some time ago made him forget to pay attention to the time. Indeed, as Wu Huo said, if you go on at this shooting speed. Not only can't the prime time of Christmas, but the budget of 10 million will also start to be tight!

"I've been dizzy recently by my brother, and now it's not just a matter of shooting, but I also have to take time to edit and produce after shooting!"

If you can't catch up with the schedule and delay the date, this kind of thing is a compulsory course for directors. You think that being a director just needs to make a movie with your heart? That's a big mistake. Especially a powerful director like Chen Jialuo needs to make overall arrangements for all matters before the release of the whole movie.

Either way, the Christmas release time is not to be missed. The schedule is unattainable for many movies, even if Chen Jialuo has a guarantee of "A Chinese Ghost Story", this time the Christmas movie schedule of Lei Zhen Cinema is also won by Xu You for him.

"Otherwise, let's open another group, and shoot on both sides at the same time. Liu Haitang, who was sitting on the side, suddenly felt blessed, and his eyes lit up.

Now Chen Jialuo has handed over the filming authority of many directors to Wu Huo, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is taking this offspring. Since Chen Jialuo himself is relieved of Wu Huo, then he will open another group to shoot, and the filming progress can be accelerated.

"Do you want to set up a second group to shoot? But I'm afraid that they won't be able to grasp the essence except for themselves." Chen Jialuo sat there with some distress and secretly thought, although he was optimistic about Wu Huo, most of the shots handed over to the other party were transitional shots.

And if Wu Huo is not satisfied with what he directs and shoots at that time, it will not only waste time and the energy of the actors and staff, but also waste film. After all, the current funds are not so abundant.

It's no longer a question of trust or distrust, it's about the quality of the whole film. At the beginning, the premise that Chen Jialuo gave Wu Huo the right to direct the filming was that he himself was staring at the sidelines, and he could raise questions from time to time.

Once filmed in groups, Chen Jialuo naturally didn't have the energy to help Wu Huo check again.

First, in a hurry, the stars who lead the starring roles usually have several film appointments, and the schedule is limited, so the crew members work tirelessly to catch up with the shooting.

Whether it is an actor or a director in Xiangjiang, most of them are notoriously desperate Saburo. Every day, from morning to dark, sleeping on the set, you may squint for a few hours and then get up to shoot again. As for the staff, that's not to mention.

The second is the flying paper boy, the director only has a story outline before filming, and after the film starts, he can only wait for the screenwriter to pass over the script to be filmed that day. Chen Jialuo knew that Cheng Xiaodong in his previous life filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Liu Weiqiang filmed "Crazy Boy" had to wait for Tsui Hark and Wen Jun's "Flying Paper Boy".

To put it bluntly, the convenience of the 'puppet director' lies here, as long as they wait for the "flying paper boy", they don't need to go through too many brains at all, as long as they shoot the meaning conveyed by the 'emperors', it's over. As for the effect, it depends on the level of each person's business.

The third is the second group system, because Xiangjiang has rich experience and is quite professional in action guidance. Wang Jing and his ilk often only focus on filming, and the action director is solely responsible for the gunfights, martial arts, chases, and crash scenes. In this way, an ordinary commercial film usually takes only ten days to complete.

And a big production such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" will continue to start the "subgroup" (the first group of martial fingers, the second and even the third group of martial fingers) under the "second group" of martial fingers.

The sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", which ended filming not long ago, can also be regarded as a product of the grouping system by mistake. Xu You took Zhang Baorong to start filming in Xiangjiang, and Wu Zhisen took Zhou to the United States to shoot, and they were all extremely challenging to write scripts while filming, which was really torturous.

It has to be said that the formation of a second group is indeed one of the feasible methods.

Why do Hong Kong films have to be shot fast? The main reason is that they are in a hurry. The first is to catch up with the schedule of star starring, but this is not the key point for Chen Jialuo and his crew, the main thing is to catch up with the release schedule that has been set by Lei Zhen Cinema, which is also a typical example of the prosperity of Hong Kong films now.

Hong Kong films are blockbusters, and theaters need a large number of Hong Kong films to fill various schedules, especially several important schedules every year, such as summer files, Christmas, etc., in important schedules, superstars must be in charge, even the current Liu Tianwang and Liang Yingdi are not qualified, and the so-called "double Monday" will not be formed for a long time.

Chen Jialuo, who had made a decision in his heart, looked over and said, "Ah Huo, do you have any confidence?"

Chen Jialuo's sudden voice made Wu Huo stunned. Immediately, he reacted that this was to make himself the overall responsibility of the second group of shooting.

In this regard, Wu Huo tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and nodded affirmatively: "Brother Luo, you can rest assured! We have discussed the later scenes, and I am confident that we can shoot these scenes well." ”

It stands to reason that the general responsibility for the second group of filming is not Wu Huo's turn, don't look at him as an assistant director, but really speaking, Liu Haitang, the chief director of photography, is not worse than him. As for qualifications, that's more than enough.

Everyone thinks that Chen Jialuo is to promote Wu Huo, but in fact, although Wu Huo is young, he has participated in the filming of the movie for a long time. His family is poor, so he came to the studio early to work, and he has paid a lot from the most ordinary miscellaneous to the current assistant director.

More importantly, Chen Jialuo saw the potential in Wu Huo.

"That's it, Ah Huo, I'll let Begonia follow you to shoot, if there is any problem, you can discuss it with him. You remember to shoot in slow motion where I crossed the line in the script, and you had to shoot it carefully, understand?"

Wu Huo nodded seriously and said, "Understand Brother Luo...... Rest assured, I'll make sure you get the results you want. ”

"Okay, that's settled. Everyone went back early to rest, and we tried to finish the shoot as soon as possible. ”

Fortunately, it is a film like "Prison Storm", and the filming locations can be said to be put together. Whenever there is any problem, or Chen Jialuo has any new ideas, he can immediately run to communicate with Wu Huo.

If it weren't for other movies, if it needed to be carried out at both ends, Chen Jialuo might not be at ease with Wu Huo. After all, this movie is a real stepping stone for him. If the success of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is behind Xu You's shadow, then if "Prison Storm" is successful, Chen Jialuo will become a real commercial film director.

Only under the premise of selling out can Chen Jialuo accumulate his own original capital.
