Chapter 227: Everything is ready
In fact, as the box office champion of the summer file, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", there are many script changes, shots, etc., all of which were completed by 'Boy Scouts' such as You Dazhi, You Naihai, and Wu Huo.
It's just that "A Chinese Ghost Story 1" is also too good and too successful, and the aura of Chen Jialuo and Xu Xian's film studio is too strong, and even the best action director Chen Xiaodong is completely covered up, let alone them.
"The Birth of a Word", which is about to start filming now, has become their best battlefield.
Because many media in the outside world are not optimistic about Chen Jialuo's Boy Scouts, but once "The Birth of a Word" is successful, then these Scouts will be transformed into Yulin Army.
In the conference room, everyone was doing the core discussion around "The Birth of a Word".
In terms of the script and actors, they are almost finalized, unless they are changed due to some individual circumstances.
In addition to Zhang Xueyou and Qiu Shuzhen being his own people, Liang Jiahui signed several film contracts, and holding them is also a beneficiary for the Red Flower Club. As for Zhang Meng, although she is the heroine sent by Yongsheng, this drama is a man's play, and there is not much room for her to play.
must bring out your own actors, on the one hand, you can make other artists excited, on the other hand, so as not to come up with a cast with box office appeal, after all, no matter how good a movie is, for good actors, actors with box office appeal, and for newcomers, are completely different things.
There is no doubt about Liang Jiahui's dedication, when he received the script of "The Birth of a Word", he had already begun to 'experience life', and even found the 'old boy' who used to live nearby to learn from him.
After Zhang Xueyou's performances in "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" and "Carmen in Mong Kok" were well received, Zhang Xueyou began to officially quit drinking, recorded songs attentively, studied scripts, and stopped gambling.
As for Qiu Shuzhen, she played very few roles as the second female in "The Birth of a Word", but Chen Jialuo forced her into "Best Friend 2" and "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", and asked Wang Jing to arrange more scenes.
……
"Regarding firearms, have you been connected?" Chen Jialuo looked at Liu Haitang and asked, this matter has been pressing on his heart.
Liu Haitang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have contacted a firearms company, and the price is very fair." ”
Although he is a photographer, he is old and has a wide range of contacts, which is really not a big deal for him.
Don't think that the guns in the movie are fake, in fact, sometimes they are real! And the bullets, of course, are also real.
In fact, gunfight movies also depend on the plot, if it is just inserted in the waist, it is basically a fake gun. But as long as it is to be pulled out, it must be a real gun.
If you want to shoot, you need to load real bullets, but such bullets are a little different from real bullets, called empty cartridges, which will fire when shot, but will not hurt people.
Because of this, it is necessary to pay attention to the bullet after it is ejected when shooting. If the bullet casings run into the person's body, they will burn.
And every gun out of the warehouse, you need to send a special person to take care of it, teach the actor the posture of holding the gun, and check the ammunition of the gun. Every bullet fired must be reported to the Hong Kong government within 24 hours.
Of course, these are actually just formalities, you don't have any major accidents on the set, and the British and Hong Kong governments also turn a blind eye.
As we all know, Bruce Lee's son Li Guohao, later in the filming of the movie, the prop gun used for filming actually shot real bullets, and finally made him die young. A very important reason is that the movie did not hire firearms experts and security officers, and the prop guns changed hands several times, and no one checked whether there were any problems.
It is precisely because of such complicated steps and safety considerations that Chen Jialuo has always regarded firearms as the top priority in the filming of "The Birth of a Word"!
The "Birth of a Word" that he wants to shoot is definitely more grand than the original, and the effect is extremely shocking.
Chen Jialuo wants to shoot not a word-of-mouth film with a niche black and cold literary fan, but a word-of-mouth commercial film with a remarkable style and a memorable scene effect.
"Then Huang Agou's gun is set to be 'Black Star' Type 54, and as for the Holy Father, they will be based on Taiwan's gun ......."
For the pioneering work of the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo is of course very concerned, and strives for precision and perfection in many things in every detail.
Liu Haitang nodded, and then said: "In terms of photography, Lao Du and I invited a few friends to come over to help at that time, otherwise there will be not enough manpower." In terms of salary, it's very easy to talk!"
"No problem, you and Lao Du had better give full play to their coquettish nature and keep them all behind. Chen Jialuo teased.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, especially Duke Feng who cooperated to cover his face and be shy.
This ghost guy is really a living treasure.
However, Chen Jialuo's joke is a joke, and it is true that he wants to keep people. Although the Red Flower Club is not big, it still lacks its own team, and it is too mobile to find people at random, and the talents such as photography and screenwriters who are optimistic are not as good as drama affairs, and it is best to stay and cultivate.
Chen Jialuo turned to ask, "Director Zhang, where are you?"
Zhang Shuping said lightly: "Don't worry! Costume films have been done, are you still afraid that modern films won't be able to handle it." ”
"Director Zhang claims to play all over Taiwan, and there will be no problems with clothing and customs. ”
"Haha......"
Zhang Shuping's nickname 'Zhang Gui' was still called out by Chen Jialuo. In fact, the art director, in a sense, is not enough to shout that.
The entire film team, lighting and choreography, etc., are not qualified to shout any guidance. For example, if a certain lighting engineer is particularly powerful, you can at most be respectful as a 'lamp master', a guide, which is only a director who is qualified to direct.
In addition to the director, who can barely be called the director, it is the action director, which also shows the popularity of Hong Kong action movies, which has endured for a long time.
Ju Jiaoliang said: "This time, in addition to filming in Hong Kong, we also have to fly to Taiwan and Japan to shoot, so the budget should be more leisurely!"
As the coordinator, Ju Jiaoliang has discovered Chen Jialuo's ability to spend money, and the preparation of the movie has already been sprinkled like water. And now Chen Jialuo likes to postpone, overspend, etc., he has also heard about it, and began to take preventive shots in advance.
"Don't worry, it wasn't my own money before, it doesn't matter, but now it's not good, I feel heartache to spend a penny more, it's all my own money!" Chen Jialuo joked.
I didn't want to Ju Jiaoliang and said with a serious look: "That's not it, maybe you think you will spend that part of Yongsheng Company first?"
"Poof!"
"Haha......"
"Brother Luo, Brother Liang is so funny. ”
In the face of their laughter, Chen Jialuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." That's the end of today's meeting! Now that everything is almost ready, I'm ready to start the flight, and you guys have to relax for the past two days, because after these two days, you're going to have to suffer!"
