"Horn, Mimi, wind, fire, thunder and lightning......"

Zhiqiu Yiye played by Zhang Xueyou is disgraced in casting, but just because of this lame spell casting process, he was about to vomit when he filmed, and he didn't forget to make up for the scene after resting, to see if he could get a few signature point actions.

Qiu Shuzhen smiled and handed over a bottle of water and said, "Brother Xueyou, rest for a while, I'll play against you later." ”

Zhang Xueyou nodded and said, "Okay." ”

From the first time he saw God when he participated in the boot worship, Zhang Xueyou's mental outlook has improved a lot now. Although there are still reports that he will go to the bar to get drunk after resting, at least he has learned to restrain himself.

Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Xueyou are actually no strangers, and Luo Meiwei, the ex-girlfriend of the God of Songs, is also one of the TVB Kowloon girls with her, and she is a good friend who is relatively close. Therefore, she and Zhang Xueyou have been in contact before.

Regarding Luo Meiwei and Zhang Xueyou, as far as Qiu Shuzhen knows, it was her good friend who officially announced their breakup because she couldn't bear the other party's sinking and alcoholism.

It may be the persuasion and enlightenment of Leslie Cheung, Wang Guxian and others during this time, Zhang Xueyou gradually walked out of the confused stage, always studied the script attentively, and occasionally hummed a song alone on the side, which is said to be a new song he wants to record.

"Shuzhen, have you been in contact with Meiwei recently?"

Hearing Zhang Xueyou's sudden question, Qiu Shuzhen nodded instinctively.

Looking at Zhang Xueyou's expectant eyes, Qiu Shuzhen pondered and said, "Brother Xueyou, in fact, if you can regain your strength, I believe Meiwei will return to you." ”

"Hopefully!" Zhang Xueyou's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, but it was quickly hidden.

……

"We're ready to start, Alin, go and inform Miss Wang. ”

As soon as the break was over, the set on Lantau Island began to get busy again. Today's shots of these groups, Chen Jialuo was all handed over to Wu Huo and You Naihai.

One is the assistant director in charge of the scene, and the other is the executive director in charge of shooting.

As for Chen Jialuo, he was discussing with Chen Xiaodong in the temporary conference room at this time the most important thing in the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series of movies - special effects.

The special effects of the first part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were all handed over to Xu Wei's new visual effects team, and this time was naturally no exception, and Chen Jialuo specially arranged for Xu Chang and other young people to 'steal teachers' in the past.

For the Xiangjiang fantasy movies of this period, the ones that can really play special effects and play visual impact are Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest. It is said that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a romance film dressed in costume ghost films, but many viewers applauded the special effects in the play.

"Xiaodong, there are a lot more special effects in this part than before, you and Xinzhi must try to give me a good thing! I saw the renderings of that giant corpse, and it was a little bit worse than I imagined, maybe my sketch was not very good, and I specially asked someone to redo it yesterday. ”

In the conference room, Chen Jialuo handed the sketch of the giant corpse to Chen Xiaodong again.

"Okay, I'll figure it out with them then. Chen Xiaodong nodded and said: "The special effects task this time is a bit heavy, in fact, when we filmed the first part last time, there were many lens elements that could be used." When I first made MAO films, many of the special effects shots were cut out later......"

"It's not that I don't approve of waste utilization, it's really a new year, let's keep this special effect and play, sooner or later, it will be over. ”

Chen Jialuo rejected the proposal, saying: "Make all new ones, and use the best technology." It's really not good, I'll find a way to go to Hollywood to borrow some people, otherwise our special effects technology will never improve, and it will be easily eliminated. ”

Chen Xiaodong has such an idea, and Chen Jialuo does not blame him, because this is the common idea of most filmmakers in Xiangjiang, just like movies follow the trend, they are used to it.

For example, after "The True Color of Heroes" became popular at the beginning, followers flocked to it, setting off a huge wave of "hero films", most of them committed suicide after a series of dazzling guns like "Five Tigers Break Apart", which was more than cool, insufficient in connotation, superficial, and ruined the reputation of "hero films".

When it comes to following the trend, the most successful and the most successful waste utilization is Yongsheng Film Company.

The reason is that "The True Colors of Heroes" is still a big success, which provoked the Xiang brothers to find the Mai brothers to follow the trend and start filming gangster hero films, and played the star cards of Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua, Wan Qiliang, Li Xiuxian, Yang Yu, Ke Junxiong, Liu Jialing, and Wang Xiaofeng.

After determining the performance lineup, Mai Danxiong immediately recalled the playwright Wen Jun, who had already flown solo, to meet Xiang Huasheng. The poor editor was forced by the Xiang brothers to write the script within 4 days, so Yongsheng and Mai Danxiong quickly rushed out of the movie "Heroes" and released it, with a box office of nearly 19 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a good result.

Originally, this matter had come to an end, but Yongsheng felt that there were still a lot of unused materials for "Heroes and Heroes", which was enough to cut out another one. In order to ensure another profit, Yongsheng and Mai Donald decided to add an important character as a new selling point in the prequel "Jianghu Love".

As a result, they found the popular singer Tan Yonglin to play the role of "Mai Hero", and it took only 4 days to make up for the scene. At the end of May, less than 3 months after the painting of "Heroes and Heroes", the prequel "Jianghu Love" was released, and the box office reached 21 million. In fact, this method is just a recycling of waste materials, but it can make the film company make another profit, which can be called an excellent embodiment of the flexibility of Hong Kong film production.

However, the case of "Jianghu Love" is inevitably criticized as "opportunistic", and the quality of the whole set of movies is not excellent, just borrowing the advantages of Dongfeng and the lineup.

They can play like this because they have no scruples, and they won't lose anything if they fail anyway, but Chen Jialuo can't play like this, the status of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not comparable to ordinary movies, and the expectations in the hearts of fans do not allow him to relax in quality.

And about special effects, it has always been a pain for filmmakers across the Taiwan Strait. At this time, the more you do not pursue progress and change, then you will naturally be left behind and beaten in the future.

Chen Jialuo doesn't have any great ideas, but at least in his movies, the special effects must keep up with the pace of the times, rather than how long they can last with the level that Xu Qian stole from his teacher.

Chen Xiaodong saw that Chen Jialuo said this, he could only shake his head and smile: "I may have to quarrel with you before, you can save the budget, you don't save the budget, the special effects are very expensive." But if I look at it from another angle, it's no wonder that you can shoot something good and climb to ......the sky in one step."

"Hey, I'm embarrassed to praise me like that. Chen Jialuo waved his hand and said: "Anyway, we are engaged in movies, except for the movie itself, special effects, props and everything must keep up with the times, and there are innovations, just like your action design, it can't be set in stone, it seems that Shaw Brothers will all be hard bridges and hard horses~"

"Don't worry, if the new visual team doesn't meet your requirements, we'll contact Hollywood. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaodong rarely showed a thief smile and said: "Hollywood's special effects team, Brother Mi is familiar, anyway, if you contact it yourself, the capital cost will increase, do you want to find him sooner or later." ”
