"Ah Jing, congratulations. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Amazing, Ah Jing, I have such an achievement when I am a director for the first time. ”

"With a box office of one million in the first three weeks, Ah Jing's luck is too good. ”

In various greetings, Wang Jing responded with his fists in a small trot: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Even if some people's words were sour, he didn't care, ran all the way to the parking lot of the TVB building, found a tissue to wipe his sweat after getting into the car, and then smiled bitterly.

He had a headache at the thought of serving Tycoon Shao just now, and now he had to serve a tycoon who was bigger than Tycoon Shao. Mainly because before, after Shao Tycoon asked him to praise him in the past, he asked him intentionally or unintentionally if he was willing to sign a long-term contract with Shaw Brothers.

even hinted that if Mr. Li was in trouble, Shaw could come forward to solve it.

"It's not that easy. Wang Jing continued to smile bitterly.

As a person who was sent to USC for further study, stuffed into the crew of "Officers and Gentlemen" for internship, and changed scripts several times according to requirements, how could he not know how much money that Mr. Li spent on himself and the world.

What's more, that Mr. Li even had to give three points to Shao Daheng...... No, at least six points of courtesy, how many dares did he Wang Jing have to say not at this time?

But it is difficult to refuse Shao Daheng's request, after all, his own old beans are begging for food in his hands, or ...... Why don't you let Lao Dou go to the stars?

Wang Jing was startled when this thought came up, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it might be possible to try.

At least, offended Shao Daheng, even if Hong Kong is not big, there is still a way for his Wang family to live. But if you offend that Mr. Li, even in Hong Kong, it may not be safe.

But Wang Jing immediately shook his head, his old bean is not the kind of person Zou Wenhuai, his old bean is actually very nostalgic, unless TVB or Ms. Fang is too ruthless, otherwise he will never have the idea of changing jobs.

Shao Daheng also knows this, so even if Ms. Fang is allowed to take power, he will not sit idly by and watch her coerce an old minister like Lao Dou.

Thinking of this, Wang Jing suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand and knocked his head, looking helpless.

These eight characters have not been skimmed, Shao Daheng is just a temptation, and he is not sure what he should do, when he said that he would first complete the things that Mr. Li explained, there was nothing more than that hint, it was because he was too troubled by gains and losses.

At the beginning, he thought that "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" could have a box office of 1 million and make a profit, and then after going to Hollywood to learn two hands, he felt that he might be able to exceed 2 million and look forward to 3 million.

What I didn't expect was that it was only a week after it was released, and it rushed over 3 million! With this trend, it is not a problem to get 6 million after going offline, and if Shao Daheng is willing to extend it a little longer, maybe he can expect 7 million.

Wang Jing, who was originally a little sad, suddenly became excited, and he has been suffering from gains and losses since Mr. Li began to tell him that he was to be in charge of a movie with an investment of at least 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Who doesn't want to make a movie with enough money? But can you take charge of a crew with an investment of 5 million yuan for the first time?

Especially Mr. Li, who invested, demanded that he should be meticulous in shooting according to his ideas, although he didn't seem to care about the money - otherwise he wouldn't have sent Wang Jing to the United States for further study - but if he messed up, his reputation as Wang Jing would be ruined, especially since his debut film was like this, and he would ...... in the future.

That's why he begged Mr. Li to let him first complete "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", which has been turned countless times in his mind, so as to strengthen his courage and see how many catties and taels he has.

Now this result is naturally excellent, and the investment of 800,000 yuan in exchange for 7 or even 8 times the box office is definitely a huge success. Wang Jing's courage not only grew, but also began to look forward to it, after all, the script was completed by him himself, and revised several times according to Mr. Li's requirements, it is indeed a good book.

As long as Mr. Li's request is not too outrageous, he is confident that he will make a movie that will grossing more than 10 million at the box office.

"Let's go, let's go. Wang Jing said to himself, then started the engine, used the parking lot, and headed to the top of Taiping Mountain.

When he came to his destination, he entered the villa with a notice, and after getting out of the car, he followed the maid to the living room, and saw Teresa Teng coming over.

"Hello, Miss Deng. Wang Jing was naturally the first to say hello.

"Are you?" Deng Lijun obviously didn't recognize him.

"I'm Wang Jing, and Mr. Li asked me to come over today. Wang Jing said respectfully.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Wang, Edward is in the garden, you just have to go over, I still have to go beforehand. Deng Lijun smiled slightly and walked out, that style was really charming.

There is only a person like Mr. Li who can easily let Miss Deng be a concubine without a name or a penny, and he is still willing, right? Thinking back to all kinds of rumors about that person, Wang Jing smacked his lips, he had been to Cannes with him, and he had seen more women on the other side.

When he followed the maid to the garden, he saw a young girl, dressed in a lake-green dress, standing on the grass and singing an English song softly, while Mr. Li sat beside him, driving an easel and drawing a charcoal pen.

And at the small round table not far from him, two little girls sat there, writing something with sad faces.

Wang Jing didn't want to alarm Mr. Li, so he sent the servant away early, and was about to stop when he got closer. But I didn't expect that one of the younger girls who was writing something in front of the round table looked up and saw him, and immediately turned her head and shouted, "Young master, someone is here." ”

"Oh?" Li Xu, who was painting, immediately stopped, "Ah Jing is here." ”

"Mr. Li, you're busy with you, don't worry about me," Wang Jing immediately nodded and said, "Anyway, you're going to finish painting." ”

"That's not necessary, it's not bad. Li Xu waved his hand and greeted the girl who had stopped singing in English: "Okay, Sally, let's stop here, let the maid make a pot of tea, and ask Nina to bring the folder in my study." ”

Then he turned to look at the two little girls: "Don't be distracted, I'll check your homework myself later." ”

The little girls reluctantly pursed their lips together and continued to bury themselves in their homework.

"Mr. Li is really laid-back. After making one side with Li Xu, Wang Jing said with compliment and envy.

Although I don't know what these girls do, their relationship with him can be understood on their knees.

"It's good that I don't have to go to class and can spend my time and energy elsewhere. Li Xu said a few words simply, and waited for Sally to bring the teapot before he said: "By the way, congratulations on the big sale of your "Ten Thousand Fights", I made a small profit." ”

"Thank you Mr. Li for your support, if you hadn't told Uncle Shao and Sixth Uncle Shao, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to practice first. Wang Jing said with a smile.

"Did Sir Shao seal your red envelope? Li Xu asked casually.

Wang Jing's smile froze suddenly, but he immediately said: "The movie hasn't been offline yet, don't worry about this." ”

Li Xu smiled and didn't continue the topic, just at this time, the female secretary who was notified took the folder over: "Boss, what you want." ”

"Thanks, Nina, go down. Li Xu nodded, opened the folder, and handed it to Wang Jing.

glanced at the hot figure of the beautiful female secret, although it was not the first time he had seen it, Wang Jing was still envious, Mr. Li really has a hand in accepting women, and he can always find this kind of superlative.

Then he quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at the document with a deep sense of surprise.

There are forty pages in total, and the drawings are all storyboards, and they are very careful, with descriptions next to them, one frame at a time, like reading a comic.

Not only that, but these drawings are also colored, although they are only simple and lack a sense of layering, but they are enough for a director to understand the color tone of the picture and the direction of the lighting.

Wang Jing involuntarily took a breath, this storyboard is so detailed, there is no need for the director to think about anything, just shoot directly according to this.

"Five shots on a piece of paper, two hundred shots on forty pages, it took me some time. Li Xu spoke again, "You can take a closer look at the script, and then draw a ten-minute sub-scene by yourself, and then we will continue to discuss." ”

"But...... But Mr. Li, these 200 scenes only explain the identity of the actor, what he has done, and the encounter with the heroine, which is only ten minutes. Wang Jing couldn't help but say.

"I know it's going to be around 1,200 to 1,500 shots. Li Xu smiled slightly.

Wang Jing immediately took a hiss, and his hands trembled, not knowing whether he was excited or afraid.

Generally speaking, the number of shots in a 90-minute movie is about 1,500, however, this is the standard after the 90s, and before that, the number of shots in a 90-minute movie was between 600 and 1,000 - the first "Star Wars" was an exception, after all, it was a special effects film, there were about 2,089 shots, and "Jaws" was much less, only 1,067 shots

In short, the average Hollywood shot length in this era is about 5 to 8 seconds.

In the thirties and forties, the average shot length of Hollywood movies was about 10 seconds, and "Madame Bovary" in 1933 even had 22 seconds! After 2000, the average shot length of Hollywood movies dropped to 4 seconds, the most obvious example, the first part of "Spy Shadow" only had 1800 shots, but by the second part it jumped directly to 3410!

Therefore, fans who are accustomed to the faster and tighter rhythm after the millennium, and then go to watch movies from the sixties and seventies, they will always have the feeling that they can't watch it.

Of course, this is for general movies, literary movies are just played, Hou Xiaoxian's "City of Sadness" is 157 minutes on the set, but there are only more than 200 shots, which can be calculated as the average duration.

In general, the number of shots required for a film represents the human and material resources invested in it.

Li Xu said that it is expected that there will be 1200 to 1500 shots, the meaning of which is not clear to other directors, Wang Fatzi, who was stuffed into the Hollywood crew for internship, will it not be clear? !

"Don't worry," Li Xu spoke again, "You have at least 2 months to prepare, and then 2 months to shoot." You've been in Hollywood and know how they work, and I'm not asking you to copy exactly how they work, and I'm not asking you to make them with the same quality as them, and having seven is enough, and I thought, that's fine, right?"
