"Yu Tian, you really don't tie a safety rope?" Li Xuan held a thin bundle of safety rope in his hand and asked Li Yutian, who was standing by the window.

"No, you don't." Li Yutian waved his hand casually and replied: "This is only the second floor, and I used to skip the fourth floor when I ran for my life, and it's not okay." ”

"Uh......" Li Xuan nodded helplessly: "Okay then." ”

The crew is filming an explosion scene in the dilapidated teacher's dormitory building of a primary school in Yuen Long, in which the security captain played by Lee Yuk Tim is forced to jump out of the window by an enemy grenade, and then hangs on the guardrail outside the window with one hand, and the afterburners of the grenade explosion will erupt from the window, which looks thrilling.

Of course, grenades don't have flames, which requires the help of a special effects artist.

"Old horse, how is the flamethrower familiar?" Li Xuan turned back to a middle-aged man who was standing at the door fiddling with props and asked.

This guy's name is Ma Wenjun, he is a special effects artist of Golden Harvest, and he used to do the gunfight special effects of "Crocodile Tan Heroes". However, the bad news for Li Xuan is that the gunfights and explosion special effects in this era are still very backward.

For example, the explosion effect is that the explosive is wrapped in a layer of cement ash and then detonated. But the special effects that come out like this don't have a fire effect at all.

Another example is being shot, in later generations, a blood bag is buried in the target's body, and the target actor is allowed to detonate it by himself, making the effect of being shot and bloody. However, in this era, Hong Kong did not use blood bags at all. Either the target will fall to the ground with a wound as soon as they are shot, or they will use more bizarre methods, such as burying gunpowder in the target. And then the effect is that as soon as the target is shot, a puff of smoke comes out of the body.

The bullet hit the person, and there was no blood, but a puff of smoke! Li Xuan was embarrassed when he saw it, the gunpowder was buried, and he was reluctant to add a little brown sugar to bees**?

Therefore, Li Xuan put forward high requirements for these special effects scenes in "The King of Killers", and also gave full financial support, and the flamethrower in Ma Wenjun's hand was bought by Li Xuan out of his own pocket.

"No problem, we've been rehearsing for four or five days, and we're very familiar with this thing." Ma Wenjun said without looking back, and continued to fiddle with the flamethrower in his hand.

Don't assume that all explosion effects need to be done with explosives. It's like this scene, just shoot the smoke and fire from the explosion from the window outside. The smoke and dust are handled with a little explosives, and the flames are sprayed directly at the window with a flamethrower, as long as the two can be synchronized, and the dubbing of the explosion is added in post-production.

"That's fine!" Li Xuan nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted, "Fatty, are you ready below?" ”

In less than half a second, the intercom replied.

"I've been ready for a long time, Yuetai's kid is holding the camera, and his neck is almost sore." Wang Jin replied with a grin.

Huang Yuetai was on the ground on the first floor outside, preparing to shoot the scene of jumping out of the window, and Li Xuan didn't need to shoot it himself for a simple shot. But after getting acquainted, Li Xuan knew Huang Yuetai's origin. Huang Yuetai grew up in a film family and grew up on the set since he was a child. His father Huang Jie was a famous Hong Kong cinematographer in the 50s and 60s, and he had made movies such as "The Palm of the Gods" and "Huang Feihong".

"Okay, let's clear the scene and get ready to start filming."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he beckoned the others to go out from the small house, leaving only Ma Wenjun, who controlled the flamethrower, and another young man who controlled the explosives. The two guys were covered tightly, and their masks were double-layered, so it would be uncomfortable to wait for the cement ash that would fill the room with an explosion if it sucked into the lungs.

"Fatty, we're ready." Li Xuan said as he pressed the walkie-talkie.

"Alright, let's get started."

Voices continued to come over the intercom......

"One shot in the 91st scene, action!"

"Smack!"

Hearing a soft sound from the walkie-talkie, Li Xuan, who was controlling the scene upstairs, immediately shouted loudly: "1, 2, 3, explosion!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yutian jumped out of the window.

"Bang-"

There was a muffled sound, and the room was filled with cement ash and flying flames. After less than a second, the field attendant standing outside immediately led people in full gear and carried water inside, extinguishing the embers that had been accidentally ignited.

"Fatty, how's it going?" Seeing that Ma Wenjun and the two were fine, Li Xuan continued to ask into the walkie-talkie.

"That's good, how did you come up with the flamethrower?" Wang Fatzi asked happily on the walkie-talkie.

Since Wang Jin said it is good, it should be passed. Li Xuan has filmed so many heavenly dramas with him, and his progress has not been much, but Wang Jin's vision has been raised.

"Do you still need to think about it?" Li Xuan said disdainfully: "Many foreign people use this trick well. ”

"Damn! Praise you and you're still gasping! Wang Jin said unevenly over there.

"Okay, don't talk about it." Li Xuan looked at Yuan Hua, who had been watching the excitement outside the door, and said, "Hurry up, take a few more shots of the fire in the room, and this scene will be over." ”

"Okay, Yuetai, let's go to ......"

Li Xuan turned off the walkie-talkie and walked towards Yuan Hua.

"Ah Hua, how have you thought about it for so long? Are you interested in coming out and venturing? Li Xuan walked up to Yuan Hua and asked.

"Eh......, Brother Xuan, give me another ......" Yuan Hua still looked hesitant.

Li Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, why is this guy so much like a half-otaku, he doesn't want to come out if he stays at Shaw Brothers to get some dead wages.

How could Li Xuan know that Yuan Hua had been in the Shaw Mansion for ten years in history. It wasn't until the mid-80s that Shaw Brothers stopped production and withdrew from the film industry that he came out to follow Hong Jingbao to make a living.

"That's it, Ah Hua, you come out and do it with me, and I'll give you double the treatment of Shaw Brothers. Of course, if you are filming, the actor's salary will not be less than you. Li Xuan nodded and said. This Yuan Hua can be an actor, but he is not a good martial artist, and it is cost-effective to give double the salary.

In the face of Li Xuan's strong solicitation, Yuan Hua was actually very moved.

Although the current Shaw Brothers has begun to decline, there are still a lot of talents, and there is no shortage of actors and martial artists. Yuan Hua's kung fu in the Yuan family class ranked first, but he went to the Shaw Brothers and didn't get out of the way for five years. And Hong Jingbao's Hong family class is not to mention, it is simply full of talents, if it is a good mix, he followed Hong Jingbao five years ago. Just like now, he gets a dead salary in the Shaw Family, which is better than the average Dragon and Tiger martial artist in the Hong family's class.

Yuan Hua hesitated in his heart, thinking about the gains and losses.

Li Xuan's side is a newly opened company, although he is talking about pulling himself to be an actor, but he does not have his own martial arts people. Just like this filming of "The King of Killers", Wu Zhi is himself and Li Yutian, who knows Muay Thai, a double-faced talent like himself, must have been reused in the past.

Do you want to break through? But what if this film company is so small and suddenly closes down? You must know that there are many film companies that have closed down in Hong Kong every year.

Yuan Hua, who had a seizure in his home, began to be entangled in his heart again.

Seeing that Yuan Hua hesitated for so long, Li Xuan, who had guessed a clue, did not hesitate. If someone else can smash someone with money, he doesn't believe that he can't smash it.

took out the check from his pocket, Li Xuan filled in a string of numbers and handed it to Yuan Hua.

"Two, twenty-four thousand? Brother Xuan, what are you ......" Yuan Hua asked in surprise.

"Your basic salary for five years, I paid in advance. What do you think? What are the concerns? Li Xuan patted Yuan Hua's shoulder and said.

Five years of 240,000 yuan is not much, only 4,000 yuan a month, which happens to be the salary paid by some film companies to some second-tier starlets. For example, when Chenglong used to be in Luowei Film Company, his basic salary was 3,000. Li Xuan's intention to give this money was for An Yuanhua's heart.

"W-How can this work? This is too much, Brother Xuan, take it back! Yuan Hua was taken aback by this "huge amount" and hurriedly handed it back.

Li Xuan didn't answer, looked at Yuan Hua and said, "What, Ah Hua doesn't want to come to my company to help?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Hua hurriedly explained: "No, no, I'll come, I'll come, but this money ......."

Just waiting for this sentence, Li Xuan pushed Yuan Hua's hand back, and said firmly: "Since you come, you will accept it, the boss has paid the salary, how can there be any reason for employees to return the money." And, I think you're worth the price! ”

"But, but ......" Yuan Hua was still hesitating.

"That's it!"

Li Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly took the check in his hand and stuffed it into Yuan Hua's pocket.

"Wow, Ah Hua, you've made a fortune!" There was a sudden exclamation next to him, but it was Huang Yuetai's voice.

Looking at Huang Yuetai, who was carrying the camera, Li Xuan asked, "Is the fat man coming up?" ”

"No, the director is still behind." Huang Yuetai looked at Yuan Hua, and suddenly turned to Li Xuan and said, "Brother Xuan, can I come to your company?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan glanced at Huang Yuetai curiously, why do you still buy one get one free today? (To be continued.) )
