Chapter 4 It's better to let him shoot
The next day, Lu Yan did not rush to the New Art City Film and Television Company, but rushed directly to the set. In his memory, today is the big day for the start of "The Queen's Secret Order of the Best Partner".
It stands to reason that the director of the first two "Best Partners" is Zeng Zhiwei, so the director of this one should naturally be his own great-uncle. It's a pity that many things in the world are often so unsatisfactory, although the collective creation of the 'Seven Monsters of New Art City' has obvious advantages, it is difficult to last. Even Zeng Zhiwei himself later said that these seven leaders soon had disputes over the issue of more money and less money. And he himself quit the seven-member group and went to Taiwan to film, and was later recruited back by Sammo Hung to help him engage in "Baohe". Therefore, the first two episodes of "Best Partner" were directed by Zeng Zhiwei, and in the third episode, the director was changed to Tsui Hark.
Lu Yan finally understood Zeng Zhiwei's painstaking efforts, in fact, not long after talking with Lu Yan last night, Zeng Zhiwei had already boarded a plane to Taiwan.
But after all, he is a young man, although Lu Yan sighed slightly, his mood fluctuated after all. Today, he is finally going to set foot on the set in the real sense and participate in the filming of the film. And this film is still the "Best Partner" series, and the director is Tsui Hark, the famous 'ghost director' in Hong Kong.
After Lu Yan entered the set in the real sense, he found that it was already full of people.
The director, producer, actors, and a whole bunch of behind-the-scenes production crews have already arrived. You must know that the ritual of 'turning on the machine to worship God' is widely spread in Hong Kong, and most of the people are pious in their hearts.
Just when Lu Yan didn't know where he should stand, a cordial shout "Yan Zai" came from his ears.
When Lu Yan caught a glimpse of the one who shouted to him, his heart began to beat rapidly.
I saw Tsui Hark's face full of red light, and he was walking towards him with a tiger's pace. Although he taught Lu Yan a few words that day, he admired this young man from the bottom of his heart. Both from a professional point of view and from a personal point of view. And when I was young, I also had the impulse of a young man in my heart. From time to time, I think about giving myself a chance, and I will definitely become a great director in Hong Kong.
After thinking about it, Lu Yan still shouted respectfully: "Director". After all, this is the set, not to mention that he doesn't seem to have shouted the title "Uncle Xu" in his memory.
Tsui Hark took a closer look at Lu Yan and found that this posterior boy did not mean to be angry with him, and he liked it even more. He patted Lu Yan's shoulder symbolically and didn't say much. But the encouragement conveyed in his eyes made Lu Yan very useful.
This is the first time he has seen so many celebrities present, such as: Xu Guanjie, Mai Jia, Zhang Aijia and so on. These people don't need to be introduced at all, and who is not familiar with them.
Lu Yan didn't come forward like some people to be familiar, not that he was disdainful. It's just that he hasn't fully adapted to it after all, not to mention that such a move has no effect in his eyes.
"Yan Zai, I thought you wouldn't be here today!" A person next to Lu Yan said with a smile: "What's the matter, who doesn't know that those who do director's work are powder kegs." But I think Director Xu admires you a lot, do a good job. ”
"Thank you!" Lu Yan nodded symbolically, although the person who talked to him was just a miscellaneous person on the set, he would not let him despise him. After all, this period is the golden age of Hong Kong, and I wonder if this celebrity may be a celebrity in the film industry in the future. What's more, the other party is also very kind to himself, and he will not see everyone as a tiger and leopard.
It didn't take long for the ceremony to start worshipping the gods, and Lu Yan did not hesitate to mix back into his circle. Every time Hong Kong starts filming a new film, it will start shooting and worship God, the main meaning is to hope that the gods will bless the filming all the way.
There are only three people who hold a knife to cut the roast pig, and that is the three giants of Xinyi City: Huang Baiming, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian.
If Shi Tian is unfamiliar to many young people in the future, then Huang Baiming is familiar to everyone. As for Mai Jia? The bald guy in the "Best Partner" series, how can everyone forget.
"Come on, come on, Yan Zai, this is for you." A staff member smiled and handed Lu Yan a piece of offering, and quipped: "You are Director Xu's right-hand man, and you will definitely be a great director in the future." ”
After working with Lu Yan for the past two years, none of these old fritters know the ambition of this young boy. What's more, Zeng Zhiwei, who was still in the New Arts City, and the current director Tsui Hark, all favor him.
Lu Yan was not polite, and took it with a smile: "Sooner or later, one day, I will become a famous director." When the time comes, I will definitely ask you to come and help. ”
There is a joke in this sentence, but it is not an encouragement to myself in my heart. For these workers, it is a commitment. They just eat together. If you keep up with the generous director, they will naturally be happy.
Everything, pay a smile. Everyone, enjoy yourself as usual.
It's a pity that some people are happy, and naturally some people are difficult.
No, not long after turning on the camera to worship God, Director Xu Da over there argued with Huang Baiming.
The director and producer are really on the tip of the needle. Seeing this situation, Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In Hong Kong, whether in the film industry or the television industry, the producer is a pivotal figure. The role of producer, as one person said, "He usually represents the producer or the production company, and he is responsible for the overall budget of the film crew's expenditures and the preparation of the specific shooting schedule of the film, supervises the director's artistic creation and expenditure on behalf of the producer, and also assists the director in arranging specific affairs." In the film crew, the producer and the director are often a pair of contradictions, they are often-for-tat, each holding their own opinions, not giving in to each other, and only after the film is filmed, they shake hands and make peace. ”
"Old Monster Xu, I didn't say you. Today is the big day of 'turning on the machine and worshipping God', you have to fight with me for this ......" Huang Baiming's face was quite helpless, but as a producer, he did not agree with Tsui Hark's opinion.
Hearing the words 'Old Monster Xu', Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh.
On the other hand, although Tsui Hark did not wear sunglasses as he was accustomed to when filming, his expression was still very solemn. He didn't give in at a step: "Anyway, since I am asked to be the director of this film, then I should allocate it according to the budget I said." How much did it cost just for the 'big kashi'? You tell me how to shoot it? ”
The term 'big cast' is not unfamiliar to Lu Yan, who has already fused his memory. In the broad sense, casts (a transliteration of cast, originally meaning cast) also include directors and other production crew. New Arts City has reused many great directors such as John Woo, Liu Jialiang, Tsui Hark, Leung Puzhi, Weng Weiquan, Lin Lingdong, Yu Rentai, Cheng Xiaodong, To Qifeng, Gu Jiahui, Luo Dayou and other outstanding musicians, and many other talents. Da Kushi has improved the quality and box office appeal of the film.
When filming "Best Partner", he spent a huge amount of 2 million Hong Kong dollars to invite Xu Guanjie, the emperor superstar in the film and music industry at that time, to star (at that time, in Hong Kong, 1 million Hong Kong dollars could already make a movie), and launched the star-making project, and all aspects of the film were designed around Xu Guanjie. Then, "Difficult Brothers" is a "big pile of performances", consisting of Shi Tian, Wu Yaohan, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Zixiang, Teddy Robin, Zhang Aijia, Mai Jia, Alan Tam, Tsui Hark, Zeng Zhiwei to form an all-star lineup.
And this time, the filming of "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" also invited Hollywood superstars Sean Connery and Richard Gere, who played James Bond, to perform!
"The budget can only be increased, not subtracted. That's all I have to say......" Tsui Hark said this sentence resolutely, his eyes staring at Huang Baiming tightly.
Huang Baiming can be said to be forced to cry and laugh, and he is naturally very familiar with Xu Laowei's shooting style. Suddenly, he said to Tsui Hark inexplicably: "I knew that it was better to let Ah Yan shoot!" ”
"Poof!" Lu Yan was drinking water, and when he heard this, he immediately spit it out. The rest of the staff also burst into laughter, and everyone knew it was just a joke.
[Let's pass it on now, try to knock out a chapter before 12 o'clock.] By the way, ask for a recommendation ticket.,It's been a long time since I've been rusty.。 I hope you will encourage and support you, and I will continue to work hard for waste materials. 】
