Chapter 69: The Man Who Happened
The original crowd was still a little inexplicable, after all, Lu Yan rarely got distracted during filming. In fact, Lu Yan was not distracted, but he was a little strange how the other party came here.
"Honggu, why are you here?"
Those present, such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung or Cheng Xiaodong, had more or less friendship with Zhong Chuhong. What's more, everyone is from the Shaw Brothers, so they are naturally familiar with each other.
Although Zhong Chuhong came to cheer on the opening day of Dongcheng Film, everyone didn't know that the other party actually had a relationship with Lu Yan. So this will, the eyes that look at Lu Yan are a little weird.
The scandal between Lu Yan and Mi Xue was originally rumored to be known to everyone in Hong Kong, but after this period of getting along with Lu Yan. Everyone found out that this young boss and director often stay up late to work hard, and they never saw Michelle come to visit the class, so they felt that it was indeed a scandal.
But today's arrival of Zhong Chuhong made everyone can't help but guess again.
"I've seen reports about your "True Colors of Heroes" recently, so come and take a look!" Zhong Chuhong's expression was unusually natural, but it was somewhat strange in his heart.
She didn't know why she had a whim and wanted to come and see Lu Yan.
In fact, Lu Yan was also a little embarrassed at this time, after all, how could he forget the original thing so quickly. A pair of eyes lingered on Zhong Chuhong's body, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey! What are you looking at......" Zhong Chuhong couldn't help blushing, and immediately regained his composure and said, "It didn't affect your shooting, right?" ”
"No, it just ended. But the second scene will be filmed soon......"
"Elm Head!" Zhong Chuhong scolded in her heart, and casually picked a place to sit down and said, "That time you secretly went to watch our shooting, and this time I will also see how you are a director!" ”
"Oh!"
It was inconvenient for Lu Yan to say anything to Zhong Chuhong at this time, so he got busy again. He somewhat understands, but the shooting cycle is really tight now. And if you go out with Zhong Chuhong at this time, the so-called scandal will be spread all over the sky again. What's more, if Zhong Chuhong came to visit the class as a friend, wouldn't he be bored.
"Honggu, you and Yan Zai ......"
Zhou Yunfa's words suddenly made Zhong Chuhong retort: "Brother Fa, don't guess." Yan Tsai and I are good friends! And you're filming here, of course I'll come and take a look! ”
"That's right, Fa Ge. I heard you've been nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards! Congratulations yet! ”
Chow Yun-fat saw Zhong Chuhong change the topic, and did not ask. What's more, Lu Yan and Zhong Chuhong really don't look like a couple, otherwise how could Lu Yan be so dedicated to work. Sometimes, there is no night.
……………………………………
It didn't take long for the filming of this scene to be completed.
"Let's go, Brother Xiong, it's time to clean up Brother Fa later. How's it going, haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time? Lu Yan said with a smile, but in fact, the main performer is still the frustrated little brother.
Zhong Chuhong also never expected that the filming here would end so soon, so she left very 'interestingly'.
"I think the plot in the back can be changed, when the pony was beaten by Ah Cheng, ......" Liu Weiqiang felt that some of the descriptions in the script hit the pony as soon as he appeared chic, and he was afraid that it would affect the audience's impression at that time.
Lu Yan refused: "No, what we want is a flesh-and-blood little brother!" And not a tall and complete figure! ”
Hong Kong is known as the "Hollywood of the East". When Hong Kong films were in their heyday, they once dominated Asia and looked at Europe and the United States. However, as far as the development of the film industry is concerned, Hong Kong's production model, professional division of labor and organizational structure are more complete than those of the mainland and Taiwan.
But compared to Hollywood, it still seems to be maneuvering at will, and the degree of industrialization is far from strict and orderly. Especially since the late 70s of the 20th century, Hong Kong's "first-class trendy films" have been surging, and many cutting-edge production companies have sprung up, breaking the monopoly of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.
The "Oriental Hollywood" studio system and style that Shaw Brothers has been operating for many years have gradually declined. Up to now, Hong Kong films have presented a thriving situation of "three kui heralds spring and a hundred flowers bloom". From planning to filming and re-screening to recovering costs, the film industry process shows Hong Kong's unique rapidity, flexibility and improvisation, which not only lays the foundation for Hong Kong films to flourish, but also lays the groundwork for the rapid decline of Hong Kong films......
Lu Yan is still very aware of this situation, so he feels that there are many things to learn from in many places in Xinyi City. One of them is the script.
According to Hollywood's industrial rules, once a movie is started, it needs to be done step by step, and the script and schedule cannot be changed at will. But for Tsui Hark, Johnny To, Mai Dangxiong and others, on the premise of ensuring the on-time delivery of the film, on-site improvisation, filming and modification, sometimes stopping work and sometimes rushing to shoot, is precisely the most normal style and habit in the Hong Kong film era.
And the regulations of the new art city are a feature of learning Hollywood. That is, once the script is out of the 'struggle room', it is not allowed to be modified. This certainly stifles the whimsy of some directors, but it is a good way to make the movie have a perfect procedure.
On the whole, Lu Yan is very recognizant of this set, and what he needs is to perfect the script that his company is going to shoot as much as possible before filming.
Since Lu Yan insisted, Liu Weiqiang didn't say anything more. Although he is somewhat worried, after all, Lu Yan is the boss and director.
"After this movie is over, I have to dig up some all-round talents for the company. Otherwise, it is not good for development! Lu Yan began to have his own measurement and plan for the company in his heart.
In the evening, Chow Yun-fat and others went to participate in the 4th Academy Awards. And Lu Yan's filming on their side also ended very late.
However, until the end, Lu Yan did not receive a call from Tsui Hark. It seems that the 'celebration banquet' is in vain......
In the office of Dongcheng Imaging, Cheng Xiaodong spoke: "Yan Zai, at this shooting speed, we won't be able to catch up with the summer file!" ”
At this time, Lu Yan was also frowning, and the shooting some time ago made him forget to pay attention to the time. Indeed, as Cheng Xiaodong said, if you go on at this shooting speed. Not only can't the summer file catch up, but the capital budget will also start to be tight!
"Yes! Our film must be released in the summer, not to mention the negotiations of the theater. Now I'm afraid it's a one-sided shooting, and the progress is too late to ......"
I used to think that being a director was just about making movies, but I really didn't think about so many things at that time. It seems that I did make a mistake...... Lu Yan sat there and began to think, only to find that he really had a lot of deficiencies in him. If it weren't for the fact that I had a few good helpers, I guess the problem would be even greater.
"It's better to set up a second group and shoot on both sides!" Du Kefeng, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
