Chapter 38 Prerequisites
In the end, Li Yihua decided to invest 1 million in the production of "Nightclub", Fu Baorong did a good job in logistics, and Li Yihua served as the producer, producer, director, and screenwriter of the film.
Due to the tight time, Li Yihua and Fu Baorong were divided into two ways, Fu Baorong was looking for a shooting address, and the scenes of "Nightclub" were basically filmed at night in the supermarket, and they needed to find a good shooting location; Li Yihua went to Baohe Company to ask Sammo Hung to borrow filming equipment.
Walking into Baohe Company and seeing a prosperous scene, Li Yihua knew how shabby his company was, and it seemed that Fu Baorong must enrich the company as soon as possible after going back. Under the leadership of the front desk lady, Li Yihua found Sammo Hung, who was preparing preliminary work for "The Owl and Dumbo".
"Andy is here, how can you have time to come to me, you have nothing to do but wait for the Three Treasures Palace, you must arrive until the opening ceremony of "The Owl and Dumbo". Sammo Hung saw Li Yihua walk in and said unceremoniously.
"It seems that Brother Hong is almost ready, and today I came to ask Brother Hong for help as Brother Hong said." Li Yihua is already quite familiar with Sammo Hung and said directly when they met.
"What's the matter, Brother Hong will definitely help if he can." Sammo Hung has always treated Li Yihua as his brother, and when he saw Li Yihua in difficulty, he said as boldly.
"Brother Hong, you also know the current situation of my company, I want to make a comedy, but now I haven't even purchased the shooting equipment, so I think of Brother Hong, who doesn't know that Brother Hong is the most righteous, and now I came to Brother Hong for help." Li Yihua shrugged, not embarrassed to say his difficulties at all.
"You little mouth, you know to wear a high hat with me. This is no problem, you can get it with Ah Wei right away. Sammo Hung was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he didn't expect Li Yihua to come here, let alone Li Yihua making his own film so quickly.
After Li Yihua and Sammo Hung resigned, they rushed back to the company non-stop. After so many years in my previous life, I finally have the opportunity to make my dream come true. Li Yihua is now full of energy, as soon as he returned to the company and put down the equipment, he did not delay for a moment to find Fu Baorong to watch the movie shooting scene.
In the selection of movie shooting scenes, Li Yihua also considered renting the set, but after understanding, he found that the price of renting the set was high, far exceeding the budget of the movie, and he couldn't shoot the feeling he wanted, so he had no choice but to find the scene by himself. By the time Li Yihua arrived, Fu Baorong had already found a good shooting scene, a supermarket in Kowloon, Li Yihua walked around, and he felt okay, so that he could shoot the real feeling and not detach from life.
"Brother Fu, this place is okay, how did you talk to the boss, has everything been negotiated?" Li Yihua looked around and found that this place was similar to the movie scene, but there were still many places that needed to be changed.
"Andy, this movie is all shot at night, I discussed it with the boss, we only rent the time at night, and they can open as usual during the day, and the transaction will be sold at a price of 10,000 yuan per day." Fu Baorong is very good at doing business, and let him check this movie will definitely not be exceeded, it can be said that Longsheng Pictures has gone into battle for this movie.
"Brother Fu, you are too good, but I need to discuss with the boss and change some places in the supermarket to make the shooting smoother." Li Yihua said what he was worried about.
"Don't worry, I'll get it, the boss has a condition that he can't destroy the supermarket." Fu Baorong paid me what I knew, and he had great foresight to solve the problem.
The more Li Yihua came into contact with Fu Baorong, the more he discovered his talent, if it wasn't for that accident, he would definitely be able to squeeze into the threshold of Hong Kong's rich. For this talent to join his company, Li Yihua has more hope to realize his dream.
The filming scene of the movie was found, and the shooting equipment was also borrowed from Sammo Hung , but the recruitment of props, costumes, lighting, etc. was also mentioned in Cheng, and these jobs were handed over to Fu Baorong, who worked very hard for the company's first shot. But Li Yihua found that Brother Fu's spirit was many times better than before, or he wanted to forget the past scene in his busy state. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the biggest problem in front of Li Yihua now, and the most indispensable one, is that "Nightclub" has not yet selected actors?
The big names are too expensive, and there is no time to shoot this scene with an unfamous director; It is difficult to find actors who are not famous and meet the requirements, who are both cheap and have good acting skills, Li Yihua thinks big. Now there is no acting school in later generations, you can recognize yourself by the way, for his first movie, Li Yihua will never be sloppy. After all, opportunities are not easy to come by, Li Yihua, who came from later generations, understands the importance of opportunities too well, and he has not waited for more than 10 years in order to wait for an opportunity in later generations. If the first movie is not made well, under the condition that the market decides everything, he may immediately go bankrupt, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to make a second film at all. Li Yihua, as a newcomer, even if he is the boss of a company, he can't do anything in the face of reality, even if he has the opportunity to stand up, he doesn't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
In the selection of some roles, Li Yihua has no special requirements, but for the selection of funny roles, Li Yihua still insists on checking by himself, the details are absolutely successful or not, and he can't lead to the failure of a film for a little sloppiness.
Li Yihua really wants to break a penny into two cents now, and everyone who has made movies knows that money is also the standard for the quality of a movie. Li Yihua plans to use the film well, he doesn't want moviegoers to watch movies full of snowflakes, so that they can't make money from movies, and they will smash the company's brand. Li Yihua plans the expenses, the actors and crew are the biggest sum, no wonder the movie in later generations will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a day of stopping. Now there is no one in the company, and all personnel need to find someone to act, which is definitely a big expense. Li Yihua plans to finish the whole film in seven days, and strive to release it before the release of major film companies, so that it is in his own interests. If the shooting goes smoothly and everything goes according to plan, you must fully consider the fact that there is a problem with the shooting.
Li Yihua pondered there for a while, stood up and raised his right hand to make a "cheering" gesture for himself, he came to this world to create miracles, why be afraid, as long as he has a clear heart and makes the movie in his mind, there is no need to think about everything else!
