Chapter 51: The Ambition to Continue Filming and Special Effects
"Brother Sen, Eighth Master, Brother Heizi, Brother Cai, look at the next action in this scene
How about this design. Makujo just explained the action stunt design he had in mind to a few people
After that, he looked up at a few people and asked with a smile.
"Well, that's good"
"Yes"
"It might have been better if the blast was getting bigger."
Several people nodded and praised the suggestion that Makujo had just made. Makujo is not at the time of shooting
From time to time, he proposed some novel shooting techniques, action design, and stunt use, all of which made several people look at them
A light up. It's not just Makujo who learned from these seniors, they also learned from Makujo
There are a lot of people, and several people are more and more appreciative of the shogunate.
Although there are no high-tech special effects in Hong Kong movies now, the use of some traditional special effects is very good, such as Wia, explosives, flying cars, makeup, etc., which are all very important stunts.
In Hong Kong, when it comes to high-tech special effects, it was directed and filmed by Xu Ke at the invitation of Golden Harvest in 83
"The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" is the only one, at that time, Golden Harvest invested a lot of money and invited the United States
Hollywood's "Star Wars" stunt team to support the stunt shots. The film is visually available throughout the film
The effects are outstanding, the art design and actors are extraordinary, and some of the action scenes are brilliant
It's dazzling and breathtaking.
Although the special effects in the movie shocked the Hong Kong film industry at that time, it was a pity that it was the drama
In terms of plot, it is too messy because there are too many characters and clues, and many of the content plots are not explained
Clearly, plus the stunts at this time are not so perfect, so Golden Harvest is on this film
The investment did not achieve the expected return, and in the end it should be said that it lost a lot.
Stunts are super expensive at all times, and they don't exist in Hong Kong
With such high technology, if you need it, you have to go to Hollywood in the United States. It's expensive and cumbersome
It has discouraged many film companies, and there are also lessons from Golden Harvest, and everyone is even more
I don't want to go to the meeting.
The bosses of large and small film companies are pure businessmen, and businessmen seek profits, and as long as they are small
Invest millions, thousands of dollars, and make good movies that can make them a lot of money, and there are others
A few people will take the big risk of discounting their capital to touch this high-tech special effect with a large investment and high risk.
If the final result of Jiahe's "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" at that time was a box office hit, let
If Golden Harvest makes a lot of money, maybe some people will try it, if that's the case
It's a different story.
For this movie, whether it is the plot, scenes, action, stunts and so on, Makujo is very attentive
, although this drama doesn't need to find those high-tech special effects to produce, but the action stunt director
Makujo still invited experts in this area in the circle. Anyway, the shogunate is famous in Hong Kong
Yuan Baye - Yuan Heping, Flying Car Stunt Superman - Ke Shouliang, Photography Special Effects Geek - Lan Naicai,
Several people were invited.
Speaking of Yuan Heping, he and Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others all studied under famous Hong Kong dramas
Drama master Mr. Yu Zhan. In today's Hong Kong martial arts circle, Cheng Long established his Cheng family class
, Hong Jinbao established his Hongjia class, and Yuan Heping also formed his Yuanjia class. It can be said that it is fragrant
The elites of the Hong Kong martial arts industry are basically in these three.
Yuan Heping himself is not only an excellent martial arts instructor but also an excellent director
He followed his father in the entertainment industry as a child, began to serve as a martial arts instructor in 1970, and became famous in 1978
The promotion of filmmaker Mr. Wu Siyuan began to direct films independently, and he himself is in the Hong Kong entertainment industry
and the influence is quite not low, and the Yuan family class he formed is the same in Hong Kong martial arts action movies
It occupies a high position. However, the results created by Yuan Heping and his Yuan family class are not ideal
, whether it is "Heavenly Master Collides with Evil" and "Yin Yang Warrior" and other psychedelic kung fu films that were filmed before
It is a return to the original Republic of China action comedy "Laughing Tai Chi", and the final box office impact is not strong
Meaning. Some time ago, he collaborated with his apprentice Zhen Zidan in the fashion action blockbuster "Love".
The release result of "Rival" is still not good, and the apprentice Zhen Zidan also suffered some blows and temporarily left
I drove Hong Kong back to the United States.
Mucheng knows that the achievements and status of this Yuan Baye in later generations are super high, and Hong Kong is ninety
Those classic action movies after the era, as well as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, Hollywood
The big production "The Matrix" is all the action direction made by this master, and they all won awards, but
It is said that the impact is very great, and the achievement is very high.
Ke Shouliang should be familiar to everyone, the famous "Little Black" Taiwan's famous actor, song
Hands, stuntman. In particular, his flying car stunt is quite good, and in the next 97 years, he will directly come to fly over the Yellow River, and is known as "Asia's first flyer". He is bold and dedicated, and he is a well-known good gentleman in the circle.
Lan Nai Cai may not be very well known to many people, he is a director, editor, and photographer, special
is a master in Hong Kong in terms of photography, and the "King of Force", which he shot in 92 years, is still a banned film in the mainland. He studied under the Japanese master of photography Helan Mountain, and has been involved in cinematography for many years, and has a lot of new ideas and understanding of photography, and the production and application of film special effects are also top in Hong Kong.
Makujo invited them not only for the needs of the present work, but also for the long-term consideration of the future.
He hopes that these talents can join his brilliant company, so that the brilliant can be like a tiger.
Fly higher, fly farther.
Although the current glory has not started long, Makujo believes that it will flourish even more under his leadership. Therefore, Makujo has always attached great importance to talents, and it can be said that he is thirsty for talents.
In addition, Makujo has always wanted to have his own film special effects company, which is very necessary for the company's future development. If Makucheng can run a good film special effects company, it will not only be his own company that will profit, but also the entire TV and film companies in Hong Kong. However, this is a long and expensive task, and it cannot be accomplished in a moment.
He has also been paying attention to Hong Kong's talents in this area, hoping to set up his own special effects company as soon as possible. It's a pity that there is little success at present, and Makujo is still thinking about whether to go over there and directly dig him up and bring him back for good development.
Although there is a big gap between the current Hong Kong special effects and Hollywood, as long as you start to catch up now, it is still possible to reach or surpass the other party's level.
Everyone knows that 'Rome was not built in a day', and it took countless years, countless manpower, and material resources to work together to achieve that achievement. Hong Kong special effects are the same as it, although it is difficult to start from scratch now, and the investment is high, but as long as you persevere, there will always be a day of harvest. If we don't do anything, we will never succeed, and the gap between us will grow wider and wider, even to the point where it is unattainable.
Think about the future of Hong Kong because it started too late, although it has been working hard for more than 10 years, but unfortunately the gap with the other party is still huge, if you don't wake up one step behind, it will be backward step by step. Such consequences are not what Makujo wants to see, so he wants to make a change, start chasing now, shorten the distance, and surpass the other party. It's not empty words, he's always worked on it, it's just that others don't know it.
