Early the next morning, Xu Jing woke up after only two hours of sleep. According to the practice of the past, Xu Jing first exercised. In fact, in the two months in the United States, in order to get closer to the character in shape, Xu Jing's exercise intensity was much higher than before, and now Xu Jing looks stronger and has a much wider skeleton.

After returning home for breakfast, Zhao Xiaojun and others came to his living room, today is the day to turn on the machine, and everyone can't help but be a little excited.

"Lao Zhao, you contact all the crew members first, we will have a start-up meal at the Lido Hotel at noon, and start the movie in the afternoon. Xu Jing said to Zhao Xiaojun.

"Good. Zhao Xiaojun replied.

"By the way, I asked you to rent two more portable cameras, not to take them to the set, but to the hotel first. Xu Jing suddenly remembered something.

"Okay, we'll arrange it later, but what are we going to do with the camera? We're not on the TV. Zhao Xiaojun asked

Xu Jing roughly told everyone about the role of behind-the-scenes filming. At this time, it is not without the habit of shooting behind-the-scenes footage, but it is very rare, and it is usually recorded by camera photography, and over time, very little information can be preserved. And Xu Jing hopes that every movie shot by his film company can preserve behind-the-scenes footage.

One is to let everyone better understand the production process of the film, which can be used as learning materials in the future, the second is to make it into materials that may be used in publicity in the future, and the other is to record everyone's common experience in the form of a film, and these behind-the-scenes footage will be the most precious memories in the future.

The start-up dinner was arranged in a medium-sized banquet hall of the Lido Hotel, and Xu Jing took everyone to the hotel first, waiting for other temporary personnel and actors recruited by the crew.

When it was close to half past eleven, some of the crew members were basically there, only a few actors and photographers were missing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Producer Zhao, I'm late, I didn't expect such a traffic jam. A voice in Hong Kong-style Cantonese came from the door, but it was Wu Zhenyu who strode in.

"It's okay, it's still early at twelve o'clock, let me introduce to you, this is our director and starring actors, Xu Jing and Zhou Xiaoxun. Zhao Xiaojun introduced on the side. Zhou Xiaoxun has taken a month's vacation to make a movie.

"Hello, Director Xu, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard to cooperate with Director Xu, and ask Director Xu for more advice. Wu Zhenyu shook hands with Xu Jing very politely, and then turned to Zhou Xiaoxun, who was standing next to Xu Jing, and said, "Miss Zhou, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." ”

It seems that Wu Zhenyu has also done his homework, and he is very polite to Zhou Xiaoxun. Although Wu Zhenyu filmed some wireless dramas in the early years, but at this time he wanted to turn his focus to movies, he was still just a newcomer in the film industry, and only played a small role in "Pretty Girl 3: Midnight Beauty" in 86, Wu Zhenyu cherished it very much for this time to get an important role in a movie.

"Hello, Mr. Wu, I hope we have a happy cooperation, let's take a seat. "Xu Jing is not good at communicating, and he has always been straightforward in communicating with Zhao Xiaojun and others.

"Oh, you are Director Xu who has never seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, and I finally saw you today. A rather familiar voice sounded, and two people came in at the door, one tall and one short, but it was Zeng Zhiwei and Bao Dexi, it seemed that the two were old acquaintances.

"Hello, Mr. Zeng and Mr. Bao, I'm very sorry, I went to the United States a few days ago, I hope you will forgive me. Xu Jing's voice was not loud, without much emotion, which made people sound quite distant.

"It's okay, but I didn't expect you to be a director at such a young age, it's really amazing. Zeng Zhiwei didn't care about Xu Jing's polite words, he was a self-cooked man who could play and go crazy. Although Xu Jing looks twenty-five or sixteen years old at this time, he is indeed very young for Zeng Zhiwei and Bao Dexi.

"Mr. Zeng has a good reputation, the opening ceremony only started in the afternoon, here we sit down and talk about the specific matters. Xu Jing still said in that tone, neither arrogant nor flattering. Although Bao Dexi is a photographer, he was also a person who directed a movie a few years ago, and both of them are seniors for Xu Jing.

"This is the storyboard and storyboard script that I rushed out a few days ago, because in the United States, there is no way to prepare it for you in advance, so I can only show it to you now. Xu Jing said after guiding the two of them to sit down at the main creator's table, and then handed out a thick pile of drawing paper.

With a little doubt, a few people took over the scripts and storyboards, and after reading them for a few seconds, they were stunned, where had they ever seen such a thing? This is Xiangjiang! Xiangjiang usually only has an outline for film scripts, and even many times the scripts are written while shooting.

More than ten years later, "Journey to the West", which has been regarded as a classic by countless people, was written while filming, integrating several story outlines, making up for the east and adding the improvised play of the actors to achieve a classic. Interestingly, in the film, Tang Seng originally just rushed over to save the scene, but who knew that he would become one of the leading actors while patting.

Earlier, when Wu Zhenyu and others got their respective scripts, they were already very surprised by Xu Jing, and they were surprised that the first movie script of the director, who had never seen it, could be written in such detail. And now I get this storyboard and storyboard, even Zeng Zhiwei, a senior who has been in the industry for more than ten years, has never seen this kind of thing.

Bao Dexi had seen it, he had studied systematically in Hollywood in the early years, but the storyboards and storyboards he had seen in Hollywood were far less detailed. They don't know that the storyboard and storyboard made by Xu Jing were actually studied by people when the Hollywood film industry had reached a very high height after decades of development, and it can be said that this is a movie textbook-level storyboard that is ahead of the times.

On the one hand, thinking that the storyboard script is even clearly written about how to capture the shot and how many seconds it takes, it will definitely be much easier to shoot, and it can even be said that people who know a little bit about shooting skills will not shoot too badly. On the other hand, he felt that this job was too ineffective for him, and he was completely like a marionette in the hands of the director.

In fact, he underestimated Xu Jing's ambitions, and regarded Xu Jing as an ordinary Xiangjiang director, ordinary Xiangjiang directors are also very anxious to make movies, and the requirements for picture capture and composition are not so high.

And the requirements for picture capture and composition of the film "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" are still the object of research by countless filmmakers even decades later, and they are completely textbook-level. This is also one of the reasons why the box office of this movie in the original time and space is average, but the reputation is super high, especially in the industry and film critics.

The movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", as Luc Besson's attack on Hollywood, was jokingly called a work that exhausted all the talents of Luc Besson's life.

Since then, this work has been imitated and borrowed by countless filmmakers, influencing many works. In the 90s, Zhou Xingchi filmed a "Night of the Soul", in which the male and female protagonists were completely copied from the style of "This Killer is Not Too Cold".

Although surprised, Bao Dexi and others were only surprised by the meticulousness of the storyboard script and storyboard, the film was not made, and no one dared to say whether the film made in this way was good or not, and the finished film was the standard for testing the quality of a movie.

Between several people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke.

"You can see if there is anything you don't understand or what you think needs to be changed, and we can discuss the feasible plan. Xu Jing saw that everyone didn't speak, so he spoke.

"Director, you've done it to this extent, there's nothing more to say, just start filming in the afternoon. After a moment of silence, Baldejoy replied.

"Okay, then we'll shoot according to this plan. Let's eat first, and start the machine in the afternoon after eating. Xu Jing looked at the others again, and when he saw that no one responded, he clapped.

In the Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film is launched, there must be a start-up ceremony, that is, to choose a good day and an auspicious day to engage in a worship ceremony. Generally speaking, at the opening ceremony, the table used for worship is covered with red velvet cloth, and the table is dedicated to Emperor Guan, flanked by incense burners and roast suckling pig and delicious fruits. Usually, the camera is covered with a red cloth, and then the main creator of the crew worships God in turn, and finally lifts the red cloth of the machine to announce the start-up.

The worship ceremony has a long history, not the beginning of Hong Kong and Taiwan, burning incense and worshiping God was the earliest rule from the old opera garden, and before the performance, the ancestor burned incense and kowtowed to the ancestor backstage. Ask the ancestor to appreciate the food, the attitude should be pious, and burning incense is also to seek peace of mind.

This custom has been retained in Hong Kong and Taiwan, from the theater garden to the film factory, and it has been slowly followed. It is common to see feng shui and worship gods in Xiangjiang, so it is no exception in the entertainment industry. However, the times are different, and it is not only the ancestor of Liyuan who worships God, but also Guan Erye, the God of Wealth and other general and vague gods. There was also an additional camera covered with a red cloth.

Some more elaborate crews will light firecrackers on the spot, which means "instant hit", and more elaborate crews will also place barley on the spot, meaning "big sell". In short, they are all blessings for peace and auspiciousness during the filming, box office or ratings Changhong.
