Chapter 346 LL Film Company
"Director, I'm here." Zhong Chuhong took Chen Lang to a stout man sitting behind the monitor.
This stout man should be Sammo Hung, the director, screenwriter and star of "Five Lucky Stars".
"Ah Hong, why did you come so early, your scene will have to wait for a while to shoot." Sammo Hung turned around and said, obviously a little surprised when he saw Chen Lang.
"Director Hong, then I'll be next to me and get ready." Zhong Chuhong smiled, and then pointed at Chen Lang, "This is Chen Lang, he is a little curious about movie shooting, so he came over to take a look." ”
"Hello Director Hong, I'm Chen Lang." Chen Lang was humble and polite.
"The famous Lang Lang, how could I not know it." Sammo Hung was very useful when he saw Chen Lang's respect.
Although Hong Kong's entertainment industry is developing extremely rapidly, and many superstars have huge influence, at the real social level, not to mention the upper class, many ordinary people look down on these so-called "dramas".
And Chen Lang became famous by writing novels, he is considered a literati, and his "social status" is much higher, although Sammo Hung may not care about these, but seeing Chen Lang's attitude, he always feels respect in his heart.
Although Sammo Hung has established Baohe Film Company, it is actually Golden Harvest's satellite company, and now in 1983, Golden Harvest has not yet implemented measures to vigorously support satellite companies, so Baohe has not made much achievements except for the entrepreneurial work "Ghost Fighting" in 1980, which created a precedent for ghost action films.
The Debao company that really made Sammo Hung a top figure in the Hong Kong film industry and the big brother does not exist yet.
However, Sammo Hung has formed the Hong family class, and he and Jackie Chan are already the most famous martial arts action stars in Hong Kong, and the two brothers have not yet separated, plus a Yuan Biao, the action movies filmed are often box office hits, so those who give face are also called big brothers.
"Lang Lang, why are you here?" At this time, Jackie Chan came over and was surprised to see Lang Lang.
"I'm very curious about making movies, so I came over to see how a movie is made." Chen Lang said casually.
"If you are interested in movies, why don't you star in a movie yourself, with your popularity and appearance, I believe that many people are willing to praise you as the leading actor." Jackie Chan patted Chen Lang on the shoulder and said.
"I've already written a script, maybe I'll shoot it in a while, and then I'll be in the movie." Chen Lang smiled.
"Oh, Lang Lang, have you written the script for the movie?" Jackie Chan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then joked with a smile, "Is there a movie that suits me?" ”
"I've watched a lot of your movies, Brother Long, and I have some plots in my mind that are suitable for you, but I'm busy with my first script right now, if you don't dislike it, I'll write it for you after a while." Chen Lang looked at Jackie Chan and promised.
Most of Jackie Chan's movies Chen Lang have watched, and many of them are classics, and the current Jackie Chan has not even left the Hong family class, if he helps Jackie Chan now, then he will definitely be able to get huge rewards in the future.
"That's great, and if the script is good enough, I'll definitely make it." Jackie Chan was also very happy when he heard this.
After all, Chen Lang is the first person in the Hong Kong novel industry now, and his storytelling ability is absolutely first-class, and it should not be a big problem to write a movie script correspondingly, coupled with Chen Lang's great appeal, the movie made should not lose money, and it may even make a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll send it to Brother Long when I'm done writing it in the future." Chen Lang also laughed when he heard this, cooperation is beneficial to both sides, why not do it.
"Okay, don't forget when the time comes, I'll go to filming first." Jackie Chan saw Sammo Hung preparing to continue filming, so he got up and left.
After the crew started filming again, Chen Lang stood aside to observe and learn.
Observe how Sammo Hung lectures to the actors, what kind of lighting is needed in different places, as well as the martial arts action guidance with the characteristics of Hong Kong films, how the photographer shoots to ensure that the camera does not shake, etc.
Chen Lang is most impressed by Sammo Hung's entire huge crew, although the whole filming process is troublesome, but orderly, it can be seen that Sammo Hung has a high prestige in everyone's hearts, and the whole crew is running around him.
Of course, I also saw the laughter scenes that inevitably occur during filming, NG and other situations, Chen Lang stayed in the crew for an afternoon, but he didn't feel the passage of time at all.
During this period, Chen Lang also took the initiative to talk with Cen Jianxun, Wu Yaohan, Yuan Biao and others, and everyone saw that Chen Lang did not like to answer and ignored him, and they all chatted with Chen Lang cordially.
Chen Lang also knew that everyone was busy filming, so after a few simple words, he retreated behind Sammo Hung to steal the teacher, and Sammo Hung didn't say anything about it.
Soon in the afternoon, Zhong Chuhong's scene was filmed, and he had to rush to the crew of "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Chen Lang had to accompany Zhong Chuhong to go there, and then Chen Lang stayed in the crew of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" to pay attention to observation.
During this period, Chen Lang also met Wen Jun, a great talent in the film industry, and Cheng Xiaodong, a famous martial arts instructor and director.
The shooting of a movie is indeed a systematic process, and what is being shot now is likely to be cut out when editing, and then a complete film is presented through the magic of montage.
The movie can be said to be a wonderful dream, and the director is the weaver of this dream, imagining that his movie can resonate with everyone, bring joy and emotion to everyone, Chen Lang feels full of enthusiasm.
In the evening, Chen Lang sent Zhong Chuhong home as a flower messenger, and after the two kissed goodbye, Chen Lang returned home and discussed the establishment of a film company with Chen's father and Chen's mother.
"Since the company has been formed, it is impossible to make a leather bag company, the company must be serious and standardized, the company needs manpower now, but it is still just a start-up, as long as the company's structure is built, and then slowly fill it in, now the main thing is to shoot the first movie, and then recruit talents for the company." Chen Lang couldn't wait.
"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have anything to ask for now, tomorrow I will go with you to register a company, and then hire two or three people to do the show, as for the future, I will wait for your first movie to be filmed." Father Chen looked at Chen Lang's anxious appearance and suggested.
"Okay, we'll register the company tomorrow." Chen Lang immediately nodded.
Early the next morning, Chen's father and Chen Lang came to the relevant departments to prepare to register the company, but they didn't expect that there would be so many people here.
Chen Lang and Chen's father had to wait in a long line.
"Hello Miss, I want to register a film company."
"How much is the registered capital?"
"500,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"What's the name of the studio?"
"Dragon Films."
"I'm sorry, but the name has been taken."
"Tiger Leap Film Company."
"I'm sorry, but the name is also taken."
"That's called Tengfei Film Company."
"I'm sorry, but the name is still taken."
"Wouldn't it be, all occupied?"
"Yes, there are too many people who have registered film companies during this time, and many names have been occupied, so you can only think about it yourself."
"Soaring Films." Continue to be tempted.
"Sorry ......"
"Pengcheng Film Company." Patience.
"Sorry ......"
"It's occupied again, so you can't call it a nameless film company." Erupted.
"Okay, the name is not occupied, and your film company is called No Name Film Company."
"Don't don't, don't, I'm talking about fun, how can my film company call it this name, aren't you cheating on me?"
"Excuse me, please re-queue if you change your name."
…… Crashed.
Chen Lang and Chen's father looked at each other, crying and laughing, there are too many people who have come to start a film company, it seems that there are many people aiming at the film market.
After waiting for a morning, it was finally Chen Lang's turn, and Chen Lang asked with apprehension, "Is the name LL Film Company occupied?" ”
