Why make such a film? Xiao Ran is hard to explain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info As a commercial director who doesn't have much of a special surname, he is definitely the most successful. However, there are very few directors who have gone their own way without being trained.

Galaxy Imaging's "Two Can Only Live One" and "The Birth of a Word" both belong to this category, while Adu's "Tasteless Detective" also belongs to the experimental category. They are all groping for their own path, and the Phantom provides a way for these famous directors to hone themselves.

What is the method? It's simple, shoot more! Xiao Ran understands that one of the biggest reasons why Hong Kong directors and filmmakers are more flexible than Hollywood filmmakers is that Hong Kong directors have extremely rich experience, and Hong Kong filmmakers can make several or more films a year, while Hollywood filmmakers cannot. This is an absolutely irresistible advantage, and Hong Kong filmmakers have the opportunity to hone themselves.

Now the emergence of Xiao Ran's variable has made the film production cycle longer, and the advantages and characteristics of Hong Kong filmmakers have gradually been worn out. Xiao Ran didn't want this, so experimental films have become a type that can be used by famous directors to rehearse and hone themselves, and usually experimental films are not large. However, if Xu Ke wanted to take one or two hundred million to test himself, it was not impossible.

A considerable number of these experimental films may not be released, because most of the famous commercial directors have only smashed in this regard. Even if it is released, it is difficult to release it in mainstream theaters, unless it is like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", because of the box office success in literary theaters, it is slowly expanding the theaters that will be released.

To put it simply, experimental films are basically spent on self-training by directors. It's just that before Xiao Ran, there were really few big directors who were willing to make experimental films, because it was all the work of new talents. It was also Xiao Ran who made a start, which caused the trend of self-training.

Just when "Jurassic Park" was being screened locally, when it was just released in Asia and Europe, Xiao Ran's new film was silently launched. The first half is basically a foreshadowing for the second half, but it's easy to shoot. The only difficulty was that Liu Weiqiang had a hard time keeping his portable camera from vibrating while running.

The main problem in the early stages was how to stabilize the camera to simulate the vision of the eye. In the end, two smaller cameras were urgently adjusted, and under the adjustment of the thinking technicians, Liu Weiqiang stabilized the picture lens.

However, what gave Liu Weiqiang a headache was that this kind of work was too tiring. There's no way, whoever makes him good at carrying, whether it's running or whatever, he has to be in charge of the camera himself. There is a running scene where you have to run hundreds of meters, which is very painful.

At first, he ran a little, but the guy was so focused on the camera that he almost didn't hit a lamppost on the side of the road. What came down immediately was even more funny, he had to run while controlling the camera to turn his head back, which also made the crew have to move quickly.

In the early stage, it was Liu Weiqiang's forte, and in the second half, Huang Yongheng was in charge of the camera himself, because in the second half, Xiao Ran needed not a large jump and a manual camera, in a sense, it was closer to stillness in the sense of lens.

The filming of the first half was not smooth sailing, and the performances of the two supporting actors made Xiao Ran very dissatisfied at the beginning. It was a scene of robbing a bank with a gun, and it was also the beginning of the film. The actions of the two of them grabbing the guns did not conform to Xiao Ran's intentions.

Xiao Ran stopped, then entered the performance area, took the prop gun in Liu Qingyun's hand, and instructed the two: "You must not blink when you shoot, your characters are not very hard, but each has each other's styles and characteristics." Qingyun, you have to behave cynically, Zhenyu, you can behave elegantly in addition to neuroticism, just control Zhang Chi's method! ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Ran raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at his eyes, motioning for the two to look into his eyes. Xiao Ran showed a faint mocking smile at this time, as if mocking everything's smile, walked a few steps forward, spread out his hand and slapped the gun on the counter. Those dragon actors screamed and ran like in the script, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his hand to shoot at a person!

Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu glanced at each other, and they were not allowed to blink when they shot, but they had to keep their eyes open? It's peculiar. Of course they didn't know that Xiao Ran's trick was learned from the future Adu's "Big Event", and in that scene, Adu also did not allow Ren Xianqi and other actors to blink. In any case, they obviously saw that Xiao Ran's performance was pointing Liu Qingyun. Liu Qingyun himself is an acting school, and after meditating for a while, he made a gesture to Xiao Ran.

The next one went much smoother, and after getting Xiao Ran's enlightenment, Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu's performances became more and more smooth. However, a long shot arranged by Xiao Ran in this scene was somewhat troublesome.

In fact, there are quite a lot of long shots in the whole film, because it only uses one camera, and it is difficult to take care of other scenes, so many times it has to be rehearsed before it can be shot. Just like the scene in front of us, this scene is a scene where two thieves shoot at the police and escape.

After Xiao Ran and Huang Yongheng studied it, they decided on the position. They simply drew a map of the position, indicating the order and direction of the camera movement to make it easier to shoot. Liu Weiqiang is very distressed, because he is now playing two roles, one is the protagonist and the other is the photographer, which is really painful.

It's already painful to play, but he still has to run and dodge, which is really embarrassing for him. He didn't have much trouble in this scene, he was just a little tired, he had to escape from the bank door, and from here it was the beginning of a long shot, and no actor in the camera was allowed to make a mistake.

After rehearsing a few times, the filming was smashed a few times, and after Xiao Ran scolded a few actors, this scene was successfully filmed. Next, it's run and escape, and the second half. In fact, the second half is much easier to shoot, it is an abandoned spacious empty house, and two male partners are tearing up in it, and all this is recorded by the camera.

The film only took a week to complete. Four of the days were spent in the bank, and when filming the second half, Xiao Ran only spent one day to get it done. I filmed a movie in a week, and I asked you if you were afraid. But Xiao Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Gunfire" was only filmed for two weeks, and even Hollywood, which is known for its long production cycle, did not complete the filming quickly, such as "Million Dollar Baby" It only took 38 days.

When the post-production was completed, Xiao Ran's whole person was relaxed, and he even had a very floating feeling. Xiao Ran knew that it was not pride or pride, it was a very relaxed pleasure, as if the body and mind were hollowed out.

"Interested? Director Xiao Randa's latest masterpiece, don't miss it! Xiao Ran took a few movie tickets and shook them arrogantly in Wei Dongling's face: "Do you want it, a ticket only sells for 10,000 dollars, US dollars!" ”

"You go rob the bank, what kind of movie do you!" Wei Dongling, who was staring at him, reached out to grab it, but was skillfully dodged away by Xiao Ran. The two of them were taught by the same master, and they were both too busy to practice, so they were naturally ordinary.

Xiao Ran glanced at Wei Dongling disdainfully: "Don't think that tickets are really so easy to buy, this film is only on those eight literary theaters." And the tickets on the test screening site have now been fried to more than 700 yuan outside, don't regret it! ”

This is true, people didn't think so, but it can be seen that the producer and director are Xiao Ran, and the ticket immediately became hot. Because the Phantom has talked to other companies for now, it has decided to keep the test screening, but it will only be shown in one theater or one screening hall every day for three days, so as not to turn the test screening into a premiere.

Therefore, the tickets for the test screening are definitely not good now, and even the test tickets for some popular films have been fried by scalpers. The most typical is "Jurassic Park", which has been fried from 20 yuan to more than 800 yuan.

"Okay, if you dare not give it to me, you can wait to send me a Boeing this year!" Wei Dongling immediately burst into laughter, Xiao Ran has monopolized the richest man in China and the richest man in Hong Kong for several years, and he is blackmailed by this kid every year.

Send Boeing planes! It's a shame that this kid can figure it out. Xiao Ran was depressed, thinking that he had only changed to a new car last year, and Wei Dongling knocked out at least five cars before and after. snorted fiercely, Xiao Ran gave in: "You kid is almost 10 billion net worth, and you still blackmail me like this, I really convince you!" ”

"I want to get all the makes and models together!" Wei Dongling's strange words made Xiao Ran shiver, and he made up the car models of the world, this volunteer is really great. It's just that Xiao Ran found out that Wei Dongling hadn't paid for a car by himself for at least two years, and in the past two years, this kid had three more cars at home.

Seeing Xiao Ran's fierce eyes, Wei Dong changed the topic whimsically: "Let's talk about business, Huang Qun called just now to congratulate our "Jurassic Park" on its great success!" Listening to his tone, it seems that many people above have seen it, I think this pressure is heavy enough! ”

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes, and Huang Qun's meaning seemed to be obvious. The above are very skeptical that mainland films can make such films, at least there should be such voices within them. That's fine, I have to tell them that without Hong Kong movies, mainland movies are nothing.

"Also, the Phantom Cinema in Shenzhen has been completed, and they asked us if we wanted to cut the ribbon." Wei Dongling said as he took out a piece of wine from the wine cabinet and poured it into the glass, then took a goblet and handed it to Xiao Ran with pure water, saying, "I'm thinking about whether to build a movie city in the area near Yanjing, so that maybe I can give a good hint to the above to some extent." ”

Xiao Ran unconsciously shook the liquid in the cup like Wei Dongling, Shenzhen Film City is just a continuation of Hong Kong films, and the establishment of a film city in the north faintly hints at their determination to support domestic films.

"I can't cut the ribbon, let Lan Hua from the distribution department go over and have a meaning!" Xiao Ran glared at Wei Dongling, he had to ask him about things like cutting ribbons, which was simply teasing him: "As for the film city in the north, one can be built." It must be complete enough, but also big enough, to make a comprehensive film and television center, and in the future, it can also be made into a tourist attraction! ”

"I think so too, and one more thing, I think it's better to just put the equipment of the theater in place at one time!" Wei Dongling obviously has other ideas about investing in mainland theaters: "If you follow slowly like you, I'm afraid that the market will be occupied by other companies." Once the surname is in place, then the first impression can be formed, which is very important! ”

Xiao Ran nodded and agreed after a little thought, and suddenly, he remembered one thing: "How is the real estate in the mainland doing?" Have you got the report for local real estate? ”

It is only natural to enter the real estate industry in the mainland. However, Xiao Ran is concerned about Hong Kong's real estate report, and since Patten came to power, he has painstakingly planned to indirectly promote the real estate boom with various political axes. Real estate in 1989 rose by 0.7 times in 1993, and if it weren't for Phantom's efforts to suppress the expansion of land prices, this would have more than doubled.

Wei Dongling flipped through the table, found a stack of materials and threw it at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran browsed it and was taken aback by the data on it. The above is in very obvious font to show the results of the survey: if the current upward momentum is maintained, Hong Kong real estate will reach its peak in three years!

What's after the peak? The peak is naturally followed by decline, just as the historical Hong Kong films reached their peak in 1993 and fell sharply in the second year. Wei Dongling sighed, Xiao Ran hadn't explained to him what Hong Kong Yingzheng wanted to do, so that he would be very clear about the difficulties of the phantom.

If the Phantom wants to deliberately curb the real estate fever by itself, it is destined to lose money. The only way was the method that Xiao Ran had already discussed with Wei Dongling - to transfer this craze to other places.

Where is the right place? Naturally, it was the mainland, because it didn't happen in '89. Hong Kong people are not as afraid of the mainland as they imagined, it is the Phantom who invested several huge sums of money in the mainland before and after, and soon returned to the mainland, which indirectly restrained the rise of local real estate.

"The trickiest thing is ......" Wei Dongling smiled bitterly, the following thing is really not easy to do: "The Hong Kong British political axe is about to raise salaries in an all-round way, inflation!" We can't fight it! ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh loudly, if the financial turmoil was still coming, then he could only wait. He can't interfere with the political axe's salary increase, and at most he can only hire some famous economists to publicize how bad this is in famous financial and financial magazines.
