Chapter 664: New Technology [One Update]
On the set of Axe Hill Road Golden Harvest, the first scene of "Love and Love" is being filmed.
In front of the camera, Wang Guxian and Lin Youlun sat opposite each other.
"Divorce, huh? You give me a reason for the divorce. Wang Guxian slapped his chopsticks on the table and glared at Lin Youlun.
Lin Youlun leaned back, leaned back on the chair, loosened his shirt and tie, and looked like he was out of the woods.
"Okay, you always wear this purple sweater at home, always wear this purple sweater, I annoy purple the most, do you know? I hate to see purple the color of the blue! ”
The lens of the No. 2 camera was aimed at Wang Guxian, who was supposed to say her lines at this time, but she looked at Lin Youlun's expression at the moment, and suddenly couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
"Cards!" Chen Kexin called a timeout.
Wang Guxian covered his mouth and smiled, waved his hand at Chen Kexin and said, "Director, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I want to laugh when I see him like this." ”
Lin Youlun re-fastened his tie, looked at Wang Guxian and asked, "Am I funny like this?" ”
Chen Kexin shrugged helplessly, and only said to rest for a few minutes, and then resume this beat.
At this time, Lin Youlun's assistant Ajie walked in, attached his mouth to Lin Youlun's ear, and whispered a few words.
Chen Kexin was arranging how to shoot the next scene over there, and Lin Youlun called him aside.
"I have something to do today, let's shoot this scene tomorrow."
Lin Youlun had already greeted Wang Guxian, and after speaking, he took Ajie away directly.
Wu Junru happened to come over to visit the class, and when she came in, she happened to pass by Lin Youlun, and she turned back as she walked. I was wondering in my heart. Today's scene was filmed so quickly?
Wait to see Chen Kexin. Only then did she realize that Lu Dao turned out to be Lin Youlun, who had something to do halfway and wanted to go first.
When there was no one in private, Chen Kexin sighed and complained to Wu Junru: "Now do you know how difficult it is for me to do as a director, right? The actors are not under my control, and it all depends on their mood to play well or badly. ”
"Don't say that, for Mr. Lin's sake, I don't think anyone will deal with this matter casually." Wu Junru comforted Chen Kexin and said.
Chen Kexin shrugged noncommittally and didn't say anything more.

The set of Axe Mountain Road is a slope land backed by a mountain, and not far from Axe Mountain Road is Clear Water Bay Road. From this winding mountain road, you can go directly to the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay, when Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang "reversed" the Shaw Brothers, founded Golden Harvest, applied to the government to build a new studio in this land, and then "guarded" the "door" of the Shaw Brothers.
There is a building called the Glass House on the Golden Harvest Studio, where the offices of Xu Guanwen, Cheng Long, and Hong Jinbao were all located, and now it has been converted into a place to receive visitors, and Cai Yan and Zha Chuanchun are waiting in one of the rooms in it.
Lin Youlun walked into the room, and Cai Yan and Cha Chuanchun both stood up together.
"Mr. Lin. Finally lived up to the trust, we have finished filming the documentary "A Bite of China". ”
Cai Yan finished speaking. Zha Chuanchun rubbed his hands with some regret, "Because the film is too heavy and the storage conditions are a little special, there is no way to bring it directly, but we have already handed over the edited film to Jiayi Cinema." ”
"The two of you have worked hard, and I will serve you wine at night." Lin Youlun, Cai Yan, and Zha Chuanchun shook hands respectively.
The filming and production of "A Bite of China" lasted for two years, according to the script outline given by Lin Youlun, which cost nearly 40 million, and the film crew walked more than 70 filming locations in the mainland.
After sending Cai Yan and Cha Chuanchun away, Lin Youlun immediately gave the new . Huang Licheng of the Chinese news agency's Hong Kong bureau made a phone call and told him the news.
Huang Licheng was also very happy to hear that this documentary was filmed, but Lin Youlun invited him to watch this movie at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Museum, which has not yet officially opened, which made him a little confused.
After answering the phone, Huang Licheng invited Chen Ran and Liu Da to his office.
"A documentary took more than two years to shoot and spent more than 40 million, but only 7 episodes were filmed in the end, this kid won't be playing us, right?" Because "A Bite of China" was specially filmed at the request of the mainland government, Chen Ran did not put anyone in to find out the news, and he, the person in charge of intelligence, knew very little about this documentary.
The production cost of a documentary with a total of less than 7 hours is as high as tens of millions, which is simply unimaginable.
"I received a little news here, saying that this documentary seems to use the most advanced shooting technology in the United States, because the cost is too expensive, Hollywood does not need to make movies, only when making documentaries, and reflects this kind of film, there are high requirements for reaction equipment and screen size, some time ago during the construction of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Museum, Lin Youlun once donated a sum of money to the side, saying that it was to help build a screening hall, I think he was prepared for this documentary." Liu Da opened his mouth and said.
"That kid donated money to the Science and Technology Museum just to screen this documentary, which is also too ......" Chen Ran smacked his lips, and the word "loser" finally couldn't help but say it.
Liu Da took a puff of his cigarette, "It's hard to say, this kid does things one step at a time and three steps, now you think he is just doing this, maybe he will be more useful in the future." ”
Chen Ran still couldn't figure it out, "Then according to you, there is no place to broadcast this documentary in China?" ”
"It will definitely be converted to a normal format, and the focus of this film is not to be broadcast domestically, so you don't need to worry about this." Liu Da explained.
Chen Ran nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, let's go over with Lao Huang to join in the fun, and see what kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd." ”
After this matter was discussed, Chen Ran left first, and Liu Da continued to stay in Huang Licheng's office, looking at his frowning appearance, he knew that he had other things on his mind.
"Lao Huang, what are you worried about?"
"The central government gave us the task of finding Lin Youlun to make a documentary that could improve my country's international image, but what he is filming now is about Chinese food."
Huang Licheng said this, Liu Da had already guessed what he was thinking.
"So you're worried that this documentary won't satisfy the central government?"
Huang Licheng nodded.
Liu Da began to analyze Huang Licheng and said: "From your standpoint, it is normal to look at it like this, but if you change your perspective and stand in Lin Youlun's position, do you think he will have no consideration in this regard, the money he spent on this documentary and the screening room of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Museum is real, do you think he will do that kind of thankless thing?" ”
Huang Licheng lit a cigarette for himself, "What do you mean that there is another mystery in this documentary?" ”
Liu Da shrugged, "I'm just guessing this, won't I know when I go to see it?" ”

The newly completed Hong Kong Science and Technology Museum welcomed its first guests on November 23.
The other rooms of the Science and Technology Museum are still under internal renovation, but the screening hall of the Science and Technology Museum, named after Lin Youlun, has been officially put into use, and in the next three months, the documentary "A Bite of China" will be screened here continuously.
Thomas came early, first visited the entire screening hall under the guidance of the staff, and then met Lin Youlun, and he was even more heartfelt amazed.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to use IMAX technology to make a documentary in China, it's really surprising."
"I wonder what Mr. Thomas thinks of this technique?" Lin Youlun asked a digression.
Thomas shrugged, "The cost of filming and the cost of projection, these two problems must be solved first, and this technology can be truly popularized, you also know that this technology was invented in 67 years, and until now it is only limited to the use of some science and technology museums, in order to truly achieve promotion, there must be other new technologies to promote." ”
Thomas didn't know the future direction of the road, and it was not easy to make such a judgment, and in Lin Youlun's impression, IMAX was able to be promoted in the field of commercial films, largely because of the 3D shooting technology.
Aurora has already started research on 3D shooting in-house, and it will take several years to get results.
Lin Youlun spent a lot of effort to shoot "A Bite of China" with IMAX technology, the purpose is just to introduce this kind of technology first, so that more people can understand, and when the time is ripe in the future, IMAX movies and IMAX theater planning can be launched simultaneously.
The topic of Lin Youlun and Thomas about IMAX techniques has not yet ended, and another guest has arrived, and the discussion between the two has to be ended in a hurry.
For the first screening, Lin Youlun invited mainly some friends from Hong Kong's cultural and media circles, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang from the film industry also received invitations.
In this wave of guests, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang deliberately fell behind in order to stay and talk to Lin Youlun.
"Lin Sheng, I heard that you spent more than 40 million yuan on this documentary, what a big spend!" To say that this documentary really cost 40 million, Zou Wenhuai is a little unconvinced, but the documentary is so publicized, he can only say so.
"I believe that Mr. Zou will understand where the money is spent after watching this documentary, please two of you!" Lin Youlun didn't explain much, but he showed great confidence in his words and deeds.
Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang glanced at each other, originally they came this time completely to take care of Lin Youlun's face, but now they are a little interested in this documentary.
"Then we'll see."
The two nodded at Lin Youlun and walked into the screening hall together. (To be continued......)
