In the 80s, Hong Kong could be said to be open to a hundred schools, and movies of any theme emerged in endlessly. Among them, the most influential is the police film, which has created the glorious decade of this genre, and shootouts are indispensable in police and gangster films. The variety of shootouts not only satisfies the excitement of the audience, but also prospers the firearms props market.

Before the release of "The True Color of Heroes", there was no professional props company in Hong Kong to rent firearms. If a company needs to use firearms to make a movie, it is rented through acquaintances and networks.

There is a gunfight film in "Chainsaw", a very fierce gunfight, which is also the highlight of this film. Under the rigorous technology of later generations, injuries in shooting shootouts still occur in ten places. And for now, Li Yihua is most worried about the shooting of the shootout.

After Li Yihua learned about the current firearms in Hong Kong, the guns are all real guns, and the gunsmiths find ways to buy real guns from all over the world and then modify them. The modified gun can only shoot empty cartridges, no cartridge shells, and basically no harm to the human body, which is very suitable for props.

Although it is a modified gun, there is gunpowder in it, coupled with air pressure and other problems, it is easy to cause damage to the human body when shooting at close range, so it is necessary to have a professional instructor to guide and protect it. The actors use guns with empty cartridge casings, and more gunpowder is put in the guns than guns used in real wars, because this is the only way to get a better look. And the more gunpowder is put in, the recoil of the gun is greater, and it is easy for actors to be injured, especially actresses, who are easily pushed down by recoil.

"Andy, this time you are famous again, in just half a year, the entertainment version has made headlines three times." Fu Baorong took a newspaper and slapped it directly on Li Yihua's table.

"I already have one here." Li Yihua also took out a newspaper from the drawer and threw it on the top of the table, but he didn't expect that just a date with Wang Zhuxian could make headlines, which can be regarded as the third news after he became famous.

"Look at it, such a big photo, the kiss is so realistic, it's so clear, I don't know where the person who took the picture was hiding at the time, and you didn't notice anyone." Fu Baorong pointed to the photo on the newspaper and said.

"Paparazzi are really everywhere." Li Yihua sighed slightly, it was very late at that time, there were not many people on the street at all, I didn't expect that this could be photographed by reporters, and the reporters were also supernatural.

"What should I do, the last time it subsided, and this time it was secretly filmed again, do you want to explain it to the media and announce your relationship?" I was embarrassed to ask too much about Li Yihua's private life, but Fu Baorong asked relationally.

"What else can I do, leave him alone." Li Yihua smiled faintly and said, like this kind of news, reporters still want you to respond quickly, the bigger the trouble, the better, but you don't make a sound, the speed of news that happens as fast as the entertainment industry will soon be covered by other news.

"Brother Fu, do the personnel recruited by our company have talents in firearms, "Chainsaw" has some shootout shooting, and we need talents in this area, just in case there is any accident."

"Firearms?" Fu Baorong paced back and forth a few times, thought for a while, clapped his hands and smiled, "There are really talents in this area, some time ago, there was a man named Lin Lingdong who came to apply for a director, and the film he planned to shoot was a shootout film." ”

"Who? Lin Zhengdong? Li Yihua stopped with his hand drinking tea, it was a famous name in later generations, Lin Zhengdong made many kinds of movies, but he was the best at action movies. The shootout film is also good, but the light can be covered by John Woo.

Lin Zhengdong, born in 1955, is a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong, and was born in Hong Kong. After graduating from St. Peter's High School in 1973, he enrolled in TVB's actor training course, and then went to York University in Canada to study film. In 1987, he won the Best Director Award at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Dragon and Tiger". Since then, he has directed a series of "Fengyun" films. In 1996, he went to the United States to direct "100% Danger". According to the past history, he should be filming in Xinyicheng now, but how can he come to Longsheng Pictures now? Maybe that's the butterfly effect

"Director, I think this scene should continue in slow motion! It looks more explosive that way. Seeing Li Yihua walk in, Du Kefeng stepped forward to communicate.

Li Yihua thought about it carefully, and combined with the later "The Matrix", it used this method to achieve unexpected results. Out of trust in Christopher Doyle, as well as the success of later films, he nodded.

"Let's put down the work at hand first, and introduce a new member of the crew, Lin Lingdong, I hope everyone will have a good time working together."

When Lin Zhengdong heard Li Yihua's introductions one by one, he hurriedly bowed to everyone and greeted everyone. From the moment he entered the door, he found that the director Li Yihua was different from the director he had met, and the current director in Hong Kong would never allow others to interfere in the filming matters, and just now, the photographer was very casual to give opinions, and it can be seen from here that such things often happen.

"Adong, look at the footage that was shot before, I always feel that something is missing, you look at what is missing, how should I shoot in the future?" Li Yihua looked at the camera and asked casually, not feeling anything wrong with doing so at all.

Lin Zhengdong stood there and thought about it, and then said: "Use it together, and when the police enter the corridor, you must move slowly." Returns to its usual speed when it starts firing. The main thing is to be able to bring impact, and the shock effect is good. Try 96 frames, and try to be as delicate as possible! ”

The so-called upscaling shooting, also known as "slow motion" and "slow motion", is to adjust the normal 1 second 24 frames of the motion picture film to 1 second greater than 24 frames, and then play it at a normal speed, you will get a slower than usual action. In the design of action movies, this stunt is commonly used to show the grace and stretch of the fighter's movements, as well as the details of the offensive and defensive techniques, and is known as a "close-up of time", which is the hallmark of the so-called violent aesthetics.

"Ninety-six, well, ninety-six!"

"Kefeng, hurry up and set a seat!" Li Yihua motioned to Du Kefeng and others, he hoped to end the shooting quickly.

In fact, Wu Mengda and Wu Zhenyu have found their feelings after this period of filming. He was no longer held as fixed and deliberately as he used to, so the shooting was very successful and smooth.

Whether it's the indifferent smile on his face at the beginning, or the perseverance on his face after holding a gun, and the feeling of tight beating after running.

"Da Ge, Zhen Woo, you guys are amazing!"

No matter which shot it is, there is no ng at once. This is not only Li Yihua's appreciation, but also everyone else is laughing.
