Box office, box office will be the key issue that determines whether a company, or even a region's films are thriving. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the phantom has accumulated the strength for several years, and gradually went from being unknown on the list of the top ten box offices in the world and the North American box office, to always being famous, and now always occupying at least a few positions.

And the next step is to dominate the entire leaderboard. As long as it can dominate the rankings, the Phantom is rightfully the world's largest film company, and Hong Kong films are also legitimately on a par with Hollywood, which has absolute benefits in attracting talent.

After returning to Hong Kong, Xiao Ran arranged some things, only to find that "Toy Story 2" and the improved version of "Battle of the Forbidden City" have achieved very good results in the world, with a global box office of one billion, of course, US dollars. This year's task is so heavy that it definitely keeps the Phantom busy to the point that his bones are cracked, and the schedule alone is enough to kill.

"Titanic" and "The Legend of the Car God" are naturally ranked in the most important summer vacation schedules, and "The Sixth Sense" and "Midnight Bells" are Easter. However, the remaining blockbusters are a headache for the planning department, each of them is a blockbuster and needs a schedule, which one should be given? After a long period of painstaking planning, I finally achieved coordination with the cooperation of the marketing department.

However, what is more painful than the planning department is infinite vision, and most of the films require a lot of special effects. Coupled with the fact that there are other companies' films, it is even more busy and almost collapsed.

Xiao Ran's new work "Reincarnation" can be described as a continuation of "True Colors", at least from some perspectives. This time, he moved his strongest team to create the strongest film.

The art director and costume styling are Zhang Shuping, the editor is the old partner Zhang Yaozong, the soundtrack is Lin Daoyun, the sound design is Xiang Bao, the lighting is Dou Wenbao, the director of photography is Huang Yongheng, and the action director Yuan Baye and the screenwriter You Hai.

Such a lineup is definitely the strongest set of people in the Hong Kong film industry, each of which is the top in all walks of life, except for Xiao Ran, I am afraid that only a few top filmmakers such as Xu Ke are qualified to make this group. In terms of actors, Xiao Ran's choice is Liu Qingyun, this actor has a very large plastic surname, as long as Xiao Ran adjusts a little, he can become the actor.

As always, sponsors and advertisers quickly approached the planning department before filming began, as if the planning department could make them a lot of money. As a result, Wheelock, controlled by Li Ka-shing, sponsored 20 million, and Hutchison sponsored 20 million. Before the film started, the production cost of the film was already met by sponsorship fees, and this does not include advertising costs.

Besides Xiao Ran, who else has such qualifications to make other companies chase after them? In any case, his new film started filming in March, and it started shooting in Hong Kong.

To Xiao Ran's pain, it took a full day just to explain the structure and theme of the film to the behind-the-scenes team. finally started filming, Xiao Ran only felt as if his head was full of ideas and couldn't hold back.

In terms of art and other aspects, this film is actually basically a continuation of the style of "True Colors", so there is no need for Xiao Ran to say more, everyone is very skilled and has started work. However, as soon as the film started, Xiao Ran felt that something was wrong, and Liu Qingyun's acting was not the kind of effect he wanted.

After calling an emergency stop, Xiao Ran closed his eyes and thought hard for a moment, according to his thoughts, the kind of jealous and hateful performance in "Stormtrooper's Streets of Fury" was more appropriate. Because Liu Qingyun plays two roles, the current police role undoubtedly needs such a kind of bearing, at least the kind of fire inside.

It's just that Liu Qingyun's performance is full of anger, but he still feels that something is missing. When he came to Liu Qingyun's side, Xiao Ran walked around him, and suddenly remembered that there was an extra kind of depth, a very terrible sense of depth, which obviously did not meet the needs of the film.

Liu Qingyun's fierce aura is enough, which is a very strong taste cultivated in Xiao Ran's "True Colors". It's just that with that comes a deep taste. Stopping in front of Liu Qingyun, Zhang Shuping's costume styling was very satisfactory, simple and neat enough.

"Qingyun, do you know what's wrong with your performance?" Liu Qingyun shook his head blankly, cooperating with Xiao Ran is the thing that every filmmaker desires the most, because cooperating with him can learn a lot of things, which only depends on how many first-class masters have come out of the team that Xiao Ran used before. At this point, Xiao Ran is definitely not as fast as those master directors.

The reason why I am most afraid of cooperating with Xiao Ran is very simple, because Xiao Ran's requirements are too strict, and he strictly implements the principle of high-quality products, so that the staff always have to spend a lot of brains to do it. As Xiao Ran often said to Shuangyou filmmakers: "There is no perfect film in this world, and there should never be a useless film." We need to learn to show our strengths and cover up our weaknesses. ”

In Xiao Ran's view, it is inevitable that it will be well-made. Failure is allowed, but uselessness is never allowed, any film has its own advantages, as long as the advantages can be used to cover up the shortcomings, it is a successful film.

Perhaps because of the change of history, the phantom of "Stormtrooper's Fury Street" has not yet started filming in a hurry, and "New Love" was released in 94. Now Liu Qingyun really has a very indescribable charm, a very literary and artistic local flavor.

Xiao Ran nodded, the actor didn't know what the problem with his performance was, which was very normal: "The role you play is not a deep person, you need to perform a relatively simple taste." ”

After experiencing "True Colors", Liu Qingyun's acting skills can be said to have reached the Mahayana level, and Xiao Ran's reminder only thought a little to understand. Under his performance, the progress is quite fast.

Under Lan Naicai's skillful makeup, another Liu Qingyun appeared on the set, which was used as a stand-in. Although it is necessary to go through the synthesis of computer special effects in the later stage to create a picture of two Liu Qingyun being together at the same time, it is obviously much easier to have such a stand-in.

After more than ten days, Xiao Ran finally ran into trouble in his thinking. Not because of the theme or structure, but because the action scenes were about to be filmed, he found that he really needed to think about how to control the specific work.

On this day, he gave everyone else a day off, and he was quietly thinking about it at home. The question is not how to connect the literary and artistic atmosphere with the action atmosphere, but how to neutralize them together.

"Dad!" Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Qing jumped into Xiao Ran's arms, holding a few toys and dolls in their hands. Xiao Ran took a closer look, these dolls and toys were actually characters and toys in films such as the Three Heroes of the East and Dragon Heroes.

What's ridiculous is that there is also the image of Lin Qingxia in the puppet series of the Three Heroes of the East. Xiao Qing was holding a drawing board in his hand, and I saw him sliding down Xiao Ran's body, lying on the ground and drawing something on the drawing board. But Xiao Ling'er showed a ridiculous smile, and said in a childish tone: "Dad, you see that there is still a mother in the three heroes of the East!" ”

Lin Qingxia looked at this cute little child with a smile, and smiled helplessly at Xiao Ran: "They all want it, then I have to buy it for them!" Also, Xiao Ling'er said that she would be one of the three heroes of the East when she grew up! ”

"Yes, yes, it's very majestic to be the Three Heroes of the East, and they are all very powerful, they can beat the bad guys!" Xiao Ling'er kissed Xiao Ran before she kept talking, so that Xiao Ran didn't know what to say.

Xiao Ran looked at this daughter in surprise, and then glanced at his son who was engrossed in playing with the drawing board. A wisp of ridiculous thought quickly flashed in his mind, the old saying is that three years old is eighty, that Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Qing are so old, and their interests and performances are completely different. It seems that her son is quite talented in art, and Xiao Ling'er is developing in the direction of a strong woman.

After thinking about it, he put Xiao Ling'er down on the ground, and then told them not to disturb him, so that he could think about something. Lin Qingxia came to him and sat down, and said softly: "Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry, we don't have to do what we like immediately!" ”

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the look in Lin Qingxia's eyes, she knew that she had guessed wrong, and explained with a smile: "No, I'm not thinking about solving the affairs of those opponents, Ah Dong and I have a complete plan." I was thinking about the shooting of a new film, and I ran into a little trouble! ”

Xiao Ran knew very well that in his current position, it would be impossible to completely get rid of his career, unless he was willing to sell his hard work. Therefore, the retirement he refers to can only be regarded as semi-retirement, modern technology is so advanced, there are ways to control their careers remotely, so they don't need to spend any energy, and there is no difference from retirement.

Gently holding Lin Qingxia's hand, he carefully looked at the face that still fascinated him, and crow's feet had faintly appeared between his eyebrows. Seeing all this, Xiao Ran felt even more sorry, if it wasn't for his insistence on achieving his ideals, maybe they would have been playing all over the world now, or maybe they had bought a small house in a beautiful place and enjoyed the tranquility of being far away from the world.

"Qingxia, don't worry, I said that if I can solve all problems this year, I will definitely be able to." Xiao Ran's tone was very tender, staring straight at his beloved wife and slowly saying, "As long as I want to do it, then I will definitely succeed!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lin Qingxia showed a little smile in her eyes, and laughed kindly: "You are the richest man in Xiao, what else can't you do!" ”

On the same day, Xiao Ran figured it out, referring to the movie. He figured out that since he wanted to blend together, he must take a risk and take a little risk in the way he handled it, which was inevitable.

Now that the train of thought is smooth, it is much easier to shoot. But soon there was something that made Xiao Ran embarrassed, which was a chase scene in the middle of the film. Because of the textbook chase scene in "Spy Change", many films attach importance to the chase scene, Xiao Ran doesn't want to repeat himself, let alone imitate others, which is extremely painful.

How can we make this chase scene new? Under the producer's hard search, he soon found a suitable racing lane. It is a highway and in the middle part of this road happens to have a road that leads to the railway.

Xiao Ran quickly captured that inspiration, and he wanted to divide the chase into two parts, the first part was a chase on the highway, and the second was a chase on the road to the railroad tracks. The railroad tracks were easy to conceive, so Xiao Ran asked the special effects supervisor and got the answer that it was completely capable of handling the special effects of cars and trains speeding at high speed.

The key is the highway, and Xiao Ran wants to use the reverse driving method. Driving in the opposite direction on a highway where there is a lot of traffic accentuates the sense of speed and the sense of crisis that passes by all the time.

However, this is definitely not an easy task. For this drama, the German company Volkswagen provided two hundred cars, of all models. After thinking about it fiercely, Xiao Ran first asked the special effects department to rehearse it on the computer, and then get all kinds of precise data before actually shooting.

The rehearsal of this scene alone took at least a week, just when filming actually began. Xiao Ran asked Huang Yongheng to get dozens of cameras, and he wanted to take the roles in all directions, so as to make this scene more and more exciting.

With Xiao Ran's shout, the last shot of this scene started. I saw the driver of the flying car special effects team driving the car quickly in the traffic, looking at this huge scene, Xiao Ran stared intently, and saw that everything was fine, so he shouted: "cut!" ”

At this moment, the car in front of the speeding team crashed into another car uncontrollably. I only heard a loud bang, and all the staff froze! Xiao Ran was also completely stunned.

No one thought that something like this would happen at the end of the filming of one of the most dangerous scenes. After staying for less than three seconds, Xiao Ran and all the staff rushed forward and dragged the injured person out of the car, and the producer called the fire brigade and the hospital in a panic.

By the time the doctors arrived, the crew of the speeding team had stopped breathing, while the other victim had suffered only minor injuries. Looking at the corpse, Xiao Ran only felt extremely bitter. It's not that he hasn't been injured during filming, and three flying car staff members were injured during the filming of "Spy Change". However, he didn't expect that someone would die!
