Tsui Hark and Huang Baiming didn't break up unhappily, but the dispute was not put on hold. In the end, Huang Baiming naturally couldn't resist Tsui Hark, and the three producers finally decided to add some funds.
After the start of the film and worship, "The Secret of the Empress of the Best Partner" was naturally put into filming immediately.
Fortunately, Lu Yan himself is also from this profession, and it is not wrong to integrate his memory. It's just that he has been busy with his head for the past few days, as if he is not a scene reporter, but an assistant director.
In fact, the scene notes seem to be no different from miscellaneous work, but the weight it plays behind the scenes cannot be ignored. For a job in the filming stage, it also refers to the full-time person who is responsible for this work. The main task is to record the details and data of each shot shot on the spot: shot number, shooting method, shot length, actors' movements and dialogues, sound effects, sets, props, costumes, makeup and other details and data in detail and accurately.
Since a film is divided into several scenes and hundreds of shots for shooting, and the shooting cannot be carried out in the order of shots, the recording made by the scene notes helps to connect the various shots of the film, and provides accurate data and information for the director to continue shooting, reshooting, editing, dubbing, and printing. The most important task of the scene reporter is to assist the director in planning the shots reasonably to prevent mistakes such as goofs and overstepping the axis. Once the film is complete, these recordings can also be used to produce the finished script.
Now Lu Yan, who goes in and out of the set every day, must have three treasures: a slate board, a slate sheet, and a script.
The clapperboard is self-evident, and it is not surprising to everyone in the later generations when the Internet is developed. This thing needs to be used for the board when each lens is opened, and the number of episodes, scenes, and lenses that the camera will shoot is recorded on the board. Then it was filmed by a camera.
"Yan Zai, bring me today's scene note." During the break, Tsui Hark leaned back in his chair wearing sunglasses and said.
Lu Yan is now familiar with the record of the field record, so he handed it over without much thought. Writing this stuff has a certain format. Write the number of episodes, the number of scenes, the number of shots, and the number of pieces first. Then write down the content of the shooting. Finally, record the timecode. And make a record of the number of items that the director is satisfied with.
Since Tsui Hark was wearing sunglasses, Lu Yan couldn't see anything.
After a while, Tsui Hark handed back the scene note sheet and said, "Yes, but one of them can be deleted." ”
I can't hear compliments, I can't hear dissatisfaction.
After Tsui Hark handed back the scene note, he stood up and shouted, "It's almost over, the retake just now." ”
To make a scene note, you should always be by the director's side and record what the director said in time. So Lu Yan didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly drew a horizontal line on the one that Xu Hark was pointing to and immediately followed.
Hong Kong in 1984 did not make Lu Yan feel so difficult to integrate, but began to get in touch with his favorite industry in a real sense and became more and more active. After each day of shooting, he will start to read and study a lot. Absorbing everything he needed to combine his own memories made him more and more aware of Hong Kong films of this period.
For the new (harmonious) wave of films and the new art city, Lu Yan is deeply involved. One is the film movement, and the other is his current owner. Lu Yan naturally paid special attention to it, and began to slowly appreciate those inner things.
After the Hong Kong ** Chao Chao Film Movement, a series of major changes have taken place in the Southeast Asian film market, on which Hong Kong Reading Productions depends: Singapore began to invest mainly in Hong Kong TV series, Thailand struggled with Hong Kong films due to the impact of the world economic crisis and restrictions on import quotas, and the Vietnamese market was lost due to political reasons.
As a result, Hong Kong's reading power production has fallen into a trough, and films with strong artistic and ideological surnames and weak commercial surnames have lost the soil for survival. Hong Kong films have entered a historical period of more commercialization and fierce market competition. In such a harsh ecological environment, one of the most important topic selection strategies adopted by New Arts City is to closely track the popular themes in the world film industry in order to ensure box office profits. From the release of the first 007 movie in 1962 to 1981, 12 007 movies have been produced and are popular all over the world. Since 1981, Xinyicheng has paroded 007 movies and launched the "Best Partner" series.
The adaptation and remake of a popular theme in the world film industry is not a simple transfer of the space where the story takes place to Hong Kong, and then the characters in the film are replaced by Hong Kong people. Taking "Best Partner" as an example, the series did not stop at a simple imitation of 007 films, but rewrote it locally from the spiritual core. The protagonist of the 007 movie, James Bond, is a deified hero, but one of the protagonists of "Best Partner" is a comical-looking bald guy who speaks a foul-mouthed dialect (in the version released in Hong Kong, he speaks Taishanese; In the version released in Taiwan and other places, he speaks Shandong). He and the other protagonist, King Kong, are witty and slippery, but they are by no means brave and fearless heroes.
In short, "Best Partner" deconstructs the heroism, romanticism and elitism of 007 films with a philosophy of pragmatism, opportunism, utilitarianism and hedonism, showing strong local cultural characteristics of Hong Kong, and initially showing the postmodernist tendency of Hong Kong films to subvert all authority during this period. This tendency was reinforced in the films of Wang Jing and Stephen Chow, and became one of the prominent cultural characteristics of Hong Kong films around the 90s.
The "Best Partner" series was a huge success in the market. Subsequently, the localization adaptation and remake of popular themes and blockbuster films in the world film industry has become one of the common topic selection strategies of New Arts City. Take "Ah Lang's Story" as an example, the film was inspired by a Korean movie called "My Most Beloved Person". In the process of remaking, New Arts City paid special attention to the compatibility of the film with Hong Kong and even Asian audiences in terms of values and aesthetic tastes. This can be called an effective "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine in Hong Kong films.
When he was in class at the beginning, Lu Yan also listened to the tutor analyze this kind of 'take-it-or-leave-it'. However, he didn't know much at that time, and now his understanding of Hong Kong movies has deepened a little.
"Ah Yan, compare if there are any discrepancies!" After Tsui Hark finished speaking to Lu Yan beside him, he shouted, "Open the mic!" ”
What Tsui Hark asked Lu Yan to compare was the script in his hand with the actors, and the script in Lu Yan's hand could be distinguished from the script obtained by the actors. This script is a record of the scene, and the director's requirements for the picture, such as how to storyboard, camera separation, etc.; and details and the like, such as: what clothes the actor wears in this scene, what shoes need to be connected with which scene, etc.
After Lu Yan carefully compared, he nodded and said, "Director, it's time to open the camera." ”
Now he is no longer the hairy boy when he first entered the set. Whether it is in temperament or words, he is calm and steady.
This scene is filmed of the bald guy played by Mai Jia being misunderstood by his wife He Dongshi played by Zhang Aijia, but the most difficult thing to deal with is the appeasement of the little bald guy. This little thing is just over a year old, so it's hard to coax. Fortunately, this little guy is very easy to laugh at, and his mother is also on the scene, so it is not difficult to find a way to do those simple actions.
This little guy's name is Wang Jiaming, and he is very popular with everyone. Mai Jia, in particular, can be said to be as precious as his own son.
Lu Yan also remembers this little guy vividly, so he especially likes to tease him.
"Attention departments, everyone is in place......" Tsui Hark shouted after talking to the little bald man's mother for a few words, "action ......"
