"Do you want to set up a second group to shoot? But here except for themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to grasp the essence." Lu Yan sat there with some distress and secretly thought, this may be because his company has no talent in directing.

And if they are not satisfied with what they shoot at that time, it will not only waste time and the energy of the actors and crew, but also waste the film. After all, the current funds are not so abundant.

How to shoot Hong Kong films quickly? First, in a hurry, the stars who lead the starring roles usually have several film appointments, and the schedule is limited, so the crew is working tirelessly to catch up with the shooting.

The second is the flying paper boy, the director only has a story outline before filming, and after the film starts, he can only wait for the screenwriter to pass over the script to be filmed that day. Lu Yan knew that Cheng Xiaodong in his previous life filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Liu Weiqiang filmed "Crazy Boy" had to wait for Tsui Hark and Wen Jun's "Flying Paper Boy".

The third is the second group system, because Hong Kong movement directors are experienced and quite professional. Wang Jing and his ilk often only focus on filming, and the action director is solely responsible for the gunfights, martial arts, chases, and crash scenes. In this way, an ordinary commercial film usually takes only ten days to complete. And a big production such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" will continue to start the "subgroup" (the first group of martial fingers, the second and even the third group of martial fingers) under the "second group" of martial fingers.

It has to be said that the formation of a second group is indeed one of the feasible methods.

Why do Hong Kong films shoot fast? The main reason is the rush schedule. One is to catch up with the schedule of star starring, but this is not the focus for Lu Yan and their crew; is mainly to catch up with the release schedule that has been set by the theater, which is also a typical example of the prosperity of Hong Kong films now.

Hong Kong films are blockbusters, and theaters need a large number of Hong Kong films to fill various schedules, especially the annual Spring Festival stalls, which must be superstars, even Andy Lau and Tony Leung are not qualified, and the so-called "double Monday" will not be formed for a long time.

"Brother Xiaodong, do you have any confidence?"

Lu Yan's sudden voice made Cheng Xiaodong stunned. Immediately, he reacted that this was to make himself the overall responsibility of the second group of shooting.

In this regard, of course, he smiled confidently: "Yan Zai, don't worry! I'm pretty sure how many times we've discussed those gunfight scenes. ”

As a martial arts instructor for many years, Cheng Xiaodong does have his own unique routines. Moreover, Lu Yan's shooting of gunfight scenes is based on the principles of Zhang Che's action movies. In this way, it is really not a problem for Cheng Xiaodong.

And Lu Yan also looked at Cheng Xiaodong's Shaw background, not to mention his superb skills, he said: "In this way, Brother Xiaodong!" When the time comes, Brother Xiaohei, I will go over to help you. Qiangzai, you go find some photography. Brother Xiaodong, you must remember that I deliberately crossed out the script to shoot in slow motion! If the shooting is not good, I will delete it! ”

"Haha...... You can rest assured! I promise to get the look you want. ”

"Okay, that's settled. Everyone went back early to rest, and we tried to finish the shoot as soon as possible. ”

Although Lu Yan handed over part of the gunfight and action shooting to Cheng Xiaodong, some of the main scene shooting and scenes like Xiao Ma going to avenge Song Zihao were retained. In these shots, Lu Yan has many things that cannot be expressed. He needed to take charge of the camera and shoot it himself. Do everything possible to reach the best step.

In "The True Color of Heroes", Lu Yan arranged a lot of echoes before and after. For example, when Song Zihao and Xiao Ma were in the scenery, how bright the red paint on the walls was. Three years later, both of them fell into an embarrassment, and the walls became mottled; The company's employees began to compete and say, "Brother Hao is early!" "Brother Pony is early! After the two lost power, no one cared about them;

In the previous scene in the boss's office, Ah Cheng was still a small follower and didn't even dare to sit, but later in the boss's office, he had already sat in the boss's seat in a grand manner; The echo of the fake body search and fake fight at the beginning between Song Zihao and his younger brother Song Zijie and the later real body search and real fight; Song Zihao, Xiao Ma Ge and Ah Cheng echoed the conversation of the three people in the nightclub twice; Xiao ** provoked Ajie and Ah Cheng provoked Hao and Jie's echo.

In addition, Lu Yan also deliberately arranged two more hidden echoes. When Brother Xiao Ma stood in the middle of the road for the first time, he and Brother Hao were inseparable, high-spirited, and powerful; But when Brother Pony stood in the middle of the road for the second time, Brother Hao had been framed, and he himself was alone. Almost the same composition, but in different situations, is embarrassing.

The second place is the 'way out', this sign Lu Yan deliberately asked the staff to stare at the stone pillar. Both Brother Hao and Pony have a visual connection to these two words. The meaning of these two shots is not difficult for the audience to understand when they see it. The word "way out" that appears when Brother Hao looks at Applejack indicates that Applejack is the "way out" of Brother Hao's predicament in life - once Applejack has the "courage" to accept Brother Hao, Brother Hao who has reformed his evil ways will be able to return to his family and be redeemed. The word "way out" that appeared when Brother Ma was living in the company garage indicates that the company/business is the "way out" of Brother Xiaoma's dilemma - as long as Brother Ma can get back his lost career, he will regain the dignity of the past.

And when it was filming the next day, Lu Yan learned from Chow Yun-fat and others that "Shanghai Night" had suffered Waterloo at the Academy Awards. As for Chow Yun-fat, he failed to get the title of 'actor' as he wished.

"Which director made such a strong movie and beat Director Xu so badly?" Lu Yan was quite curious in his heart, no wonder he didn't wait for the so-called celebration banquet yesterday.

Chow Yun-fat smiled bitterly and said: "Yan Hao's "Like Water"! ”

"Wouldn't it? That movie has a good reputation, but the box office is ......" Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then understood. A blockbuster movie is not necessarily a movie with a soul in the eyes of critics and those reviewers.

"It seems that Director Xu has been defeated by his own people!" Lu Yan is no stranger to the name Yan Hao. As one of the cadres who belong to the new (harmonious) wave like Tsui Hark, he does have good ability!

"Brother Fa, don't be discouraged. Even if you can't get this one, maybe "The True Color of Heroes" can make you win the crown. ”

Lu Yan's comfort made Chow Yun-fat smile and said, "Director, I don't need to be comforted." If you can get the best, forget it if you can't! ”

In fact, which actor doesn't want his acting skills to be affirmed and take off the crown of actor. It's just that Chow Yun-fat, who was called 'box office poison' in the early days, was inevitably a little unconfident in his heart.

"I'm so confident in my films!" After Lu Yan laughed, he began to guide the filming again. He not only wants to build himself with this movie, but also to create these people who are willing to believe in themselves!
