Chapter 108: Volley Stunt
Mr. Mak is now the owner of a production company, but he was already famous long before he entered the film industry. In the late 70s, during the "Wutai Mountain War", the dramas "Ten Strange Cases", "Silkworm Transformation" and "Big Husband" supervised by Mai Danxiong (the predecessor of ATV) successfully sniped TVB, making him famous.
However, the outside world likes to call him "McManiac", because he is often lawless when filming, when filming the drama "Big Husband", he didn't go to the police station to apply, but filmed the scene of the actor running amok with blood on the street, and even drove the car to the Mong Kok Police Station to shoot a scene where the actor died in the parking lot and honked his horn. At that time, he took a group of people to shoot at the police station for more than half an hour, and the police present couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't know if the group of people had applied. During the filming of "Ten Strange Cases", in order to pursue a realistic effect, he threw a child into the pool to make him struggle, and almost drowned the child...... There are many kinds of bad deeds, but it is precisely this kind of madness that forces the "wireless" to retreat, and the "Li's" in the Mai Danxiong period dominates the world for a while.
In 1981, Li's was acquired by an Australian consortium, at the time of the "new . The "wave" was booming, many TV writers and directors poured into the film industry, and Mai Danxiong also set up his own door and established a production company.
Although the independent production company has recruited a lot of creative and cutting-edge cadres, but the lack of studio studios, and no distribution theaters, can only concentrate on film production, but can not take into account the release and distribution, Mai Danxiong thought twice, and finally chose to cooperate with Golden Harvest, this year's new film "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was completed with the support of Golden Harvest.
In this movie, Mai Danxiong carried out the "madness" to the end, several leading actors rampaged through the streets, and the indiscriminate shooting caused great panic among the citizens. When filming a scene where the car was burned, Mai Danxiong told the actor that he needed to tie him up in the car, and after obtaining the other party's consent, he arranged to pour gasoline and a phone outside, and the whole car burned at once. The actor was scared stupidly without knowing it, and his panicked expression was completely real, and when this scene was filmed, the actor was almost roasted by the fire, and after being released by the staff, he directly raised a knife to chase and cut Mai Danxiong.
Hong Kong entertainment films have always been criticized for their exaggerated scenes and childish and untrue plots, but Mai Danxiong's strength lies in "fake scenes are really done", although the methods are a little crazy, but the attitude of serious filming is commendable.
Lin Youlun's first reaction when he heard Mai Danxiong report his home was to look around to make sure that there was no camera ambush nearby, and then joked: "Fortunately, I'm not an actor, otherwise I would have run away when I saw Mr. Mai." β
"I can't do anything about it, if Mr. Lin invests tens of millions of dollars in making a movie for my company one day, saying that it is a small trick like shooting and flying cars on the street, even if it is an airplane cannon, I can get it." Mai Danxiong looked at Lin Youlun with a smile, others didn't know what to say, but he knew very well that Lin Youlun had invested 30 million in "Legend of the Night".
"In Mr. Mak's style, it is estimated that before the movie was finished, I would have been arrested by the Hong Kong Police Department as a terrorist behind the scenes." Lin Youlun is not entirely joking when he says this, last year Mai Danxiong filmed "Doom Ground Car", the crew filmed and stopped on the highway, and made it for one night, which caused a traffic jam in Hong Kong, and the producer Zhong Zhen was directly taken away by the police.
Mai Danxiong smiled, "Mr. Lin, rest assured, if there is really a day of cooperation, I will definitely be a law-abiding citizen." β
The two said as they walked, and they separated when they arrived at the intersection, and they had the opportunity to talk in detail after making an appointment.
Lin Youlun came to the studio where the crew of "Legend of the Night" was located, but the staff here all knew him, and there was no situation where he was blocked from entering. β¦,
The crew is filming a shot of the heroine flying up and jumping up, shooting a fourth-generation zombie of the Drought Clan while doing somersaults, 64 cameras are placed according to the pre-designed path, and all of them are controlled by the specially designed program of the stunt team during the shooting, Zhong Chuhong has a tightrope hanging from her body, and the stunt coordinator is telling her the essentials of the action, and the people around her are all busy and prepared, and they have no time to care about discovering the arrival of Lin Youlun.
This is Zhong Chuhong's first time filming an action movie, and in order to complete those action scenes in the film, Zhong Chuhong received several weeks of professional training before the film started. Worried that she would be injured during the shooting, Lin Youlun had very strict requirements for the safety and security of stunt shooting, and Wu Yusen basically dared to let Zhong Chuhong go into battle in person under the condition of being foolproof.
This shot has been shot twice in a row, but it has not achieved the effect that Wu Yusen and the special effects team wanted, and Zhong Chuhong had to hang the tightrope again for the third shooting.
"Ready!" Wu Yusen stood in front of the monitor and picked up the microphone, the actor buried his position in front of the camera, and Charlie, the head of the stunt team, also made an OK gesture.

At the sound of an order, Zhong Chuhong's body rose into the air under the traction of the steel wire, leaned back, made a 360-degree volley somersault, and waved his hand at the empty wall when he was head-down.
Zhong Chuhong's figure is really hot, and the tight-fitting leather suit perfectly outlines her figure, her slender waist is bent into an elegant arc in the air, and her amazingly cocked buttocks are becoming more and more prominent.
And her face is also gorgeous and moving, her eyes are full of wildness, and there is a little arrogant and cruel smile on the corner of her mouth when she shoots, not as elegant as usual, but the same style is moving.
Everyone held their breath and could only hear the click of the camera shutters in one piece. Zhong Chuhong completed the somersault, landed smoothly with his legs, and half-squatted with his body, completing a full set of movements without danger.

Wu Yusen shouted, and saw Charlie stand up suddenly, giving himself a thumbs up with excitement on his face, and the rest of the special effects team was there to high-five in celebration, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew that he had succeeded.
Not only who took the lead, but also the staff present involuntarily applauded.
The excited expression was irrepressibly filled with Zhong Chuhong's beautiful face, and her charming eyes flashed with joy and excitement. The slightly closed lips did not hide the white glitter of her broken jade-like teeth, as if there were thousands of affectionate words condensed there.
"Very good show!"
A familiar voice came from behind him, Zhong Chuhong turned his head in surprise, and saw Lin Youlun standing behind him with a smile and holding hands, and an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh my God, why are you here?"
"I'm glad I'm here, otherwise I would have missed out on this amazing show."
Zhong Chuhong threw a charming white eye, "You don't have back pain when you stand and talk, do you know how long I have to train on the tightrope every day in order to be able to make this action?" β
"So, I've brought something to comfort you." Lin Youlun carried the insulated box in his hand.
"I don't believe you'll be so kind." Zhong Chuhong said this, but when he took the thermos box from Lin Youlun's hand, his heart was sweet.
Wu Yusen stood in the distance and coughed twice, and when he saw Lin Youlun and Zhong Chuhong looking at each other, he asked embarrassedly, "I really didn't mean to come here to disturb you." β
Lin Youlun wanted to say in his heart, we have been disturbed by you! Then he just shrugged his shoulders and asked Wu Yusen what was the matter.
John Woo came here to tell Lin Youlun that the stunt concept of "bullet time" had proven to be an initial success after this shooting, and even the stunt team invited from the United States said that it was a great technical breakthrough. β¦,
"After the film is over, I will set up a special effects company, and you will find time to help me ask if any of them are willing to stay, and I will give a better salary than in the United States, and those who have outstanding technical achievements will also be rewarded with shares in the company."
Wu Yusen nodded in agreement and then joked: "When Mr. Lin said this, I was a little tempted to change my career to do stunt research." β
"Your director has done a good job, so don't come to compete with us people for jobs."
The two were talking, when a guy suddenly appeared next to them. This person is a self-acquaintance, and without waiting for Wu Yusen's introduction, he took the first step to shake hands with Lin Youlun, and introduced himself: "My name is Lan Naicai, and Mr. Lin can call me 'mouse'." β
Lan Naicai is a relatively mysterious figure in the Hong Kong film industry, because he launched the film industry relatively early, Lin Youlun's later memories do not have too much information about him, only know that he studied under the famous Japanese photographer, and in the early 90s, he co-directed a series of distinctive style Cult movies with the famous filmmaker Cai Yan, one of which is the representative of Hong Kong's violent and cool film "King Li".
Lan Naicai's directing skills are average, but the level of special effects is the first class in Hong Kong, Lin Youlun has the heart to set up a special effects production company, but Lan Naicai is a rare local talent.
Lan Naicai was born in photography and is very interested in stunt visual effects, this time he entered the crew of "Legend of the Night" through Xu Ke's recommendation, and saw the film's big stunt visual effects, and couldn't help but have a strong interest in the film's producer Lin Youlun.
The two sides hit it off, and Lin Youlun promised that as long as the special effects company was established, he would definitely invite Lan Naicai to join.
