Chapter 109: Supervised Shooting
Two days after Golden Harvest's celebration banquet, "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" was finally painted offline, with a total box office of 11 million in 28 days of release, setting a box office record in Hong Kong. At the same time, Golden Harvest also showed its strong ability to distribute in foreign cities, and "Mentor and Brother" began to be released in various places in other cities, sweeping the film industry across Asia with a spark.
Fortunately, the screening of "Mr. Zombie" in Taiwan is nearing the end, and the canvas and the number of screenings have already decreased a lot, but it has not been affected much.
However, Li Xuan, who happened to be on Sunday, couldn't pay so much attention, except for the midnight show of "Mr. Zombie" at night, he had to hurry up now.
He now feels that the most difficult thing about this movie is not the fight scenes of hanging Weiya, but some literary scenes that happened in the library.
Because time is so little! This cheating father's library received Li Xuan's sponsorship fee of 30,000 yuan.
The Kowloon Public Library, located on Waterloo Road, Kowloon, has been established for nearly 15 years and is a library open to all Hong Kong people. It is open very long every day, from 8 am to 11 pm Monday to Saturday and from 10 am to 7 pm on Sunday holidays.
When the crew asked the librarian to borrow the venue for filming, they were told that filming was possible, but it should not affect the normal order of readers' reading and the library. In other words, it's okay to film, and come back when the library closes.
As soon as these words came out, I didn't want to come to film at work, so I could only catch up with the few hours vacated in the morning and evening on Sundays......
Li Xuan didn't think much about literature and drama at that time, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. As a result, when it came to filming, I found that these four or five hours, the filming time was really not enough.
As soon as 8 o'clock in the morning of Sunday, their entire crew rushed into the library and began to work and film.
Xiao Shushu was sitting in front of the office desk with toilet paper and "crying".
"Fangfang, it's not the first time you've fallen out of love, don't be sad! Haha...... "With flat-bottomed black-framed eyes and an orchid finger, the ** brother said a word very sissy, and before he finished speaking, he laughed first.
At this time, not only Xiao Shu burst out laughing, but other people around the crew also laughed.
"Click! **Brother, stop laughing, time is in a hurry. Zeng Zhiwei, who was working as a director, also quickly stood up and said with a smile.
βsorryοΌ sorryοΌ Not next time, it's all to blame on the boss, who gave me such a motherly role. Brother hurriedly stretched out his hand and apologized with a smile.
"Haha, but I think this character is very good." Zeng Zhiwei laughed and teased, and said directly: "Okay! Then let's do it again, and we will each bury our ......."
Li Xuan was standing behind Zeng Zhiwei watching him film. With Li Xuan's detailed storyboard script, coupled with Zeng Zhiwei's own directing skills, these simple literary dramas can be handed over without Li Xuan's own hard work.
Besides, didn't Li Xuan agree to Xiang Huaqiang and let Zeng Zhiwei study hard. However, in the future, the seven monsters of the new art city will become six monsters, and I don't know what changes it will bring to the prosperous Hong Kong film market.
"Dahua, have you made any adjustments to the wireless recently?" Li Xuan watched Zeng Zhiwei filming, and asked casually to Ren Dahua, who was also asked by him to cut his hair short.
At this time, Hong Kong's culturally avant-garde fashion was long hair, narrow shirts, high collars, flared pants, and sometimes even high heels.
And for some star actors in the entertainment industry, they prefer to wear it like this. Ren Dahua had long hair before, which made Li Xuan look weird. And the Wu Yusen I saw at the last celebration banquet was the standard avant-garde dress, if it weren't for this guy and Xu Ke chatting together for a long time, plus a little bit of the appearance outline of the later generations, Li Xuan wouldn't have recognized it at all.
"No, it's still the same, nothing has changed." Ren Dahua replied casually.
"Oh......"
Li Xuan nodded thoughtfully.
Ren Dahua is not only a movie actor of Li Xuan's company, but also a signed artist of TVB, and also starred in a fashion TV series in TVB in January. Now there are many cross-border artists like this in wireless, such as Zhou Yanfa, who is both an artist of wireless and an actor of Xieli Film Company, but he has now been publicly called "box office poison" by Xieli's senior management, and Xieli Company's films would rather lend other actors than let Zhou Yanfa act.
"By the way, Brother Xuan, why are you asking this?" Ren Dahua asked curiously.
"Ah, it's not why, it's just a little curious about whether there will be any reforms after the sixth uncle takes charge of wireless." Li Xuan immediately opened the topic and asked, "Dahua, I heard that you and Zhou Yanfa are classmates?" β
"Hmm!" Ren Dahua nodded and replied: "We are all classmates in the third wireless artist training class. But Ah Fa ......" Ren Dahua suddenly stopped, shrugged his shoulders and continued: "But Ah Fa TV series is well filmed, but in the movie industry, it is too unlucky." β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan also shook his head silently.
Zhou Yunfa, the unlucky guy, just helped Wang Tianlin finish filming "The Stupid Detective of the Stupid Girl", and after this movie is released, the hat of "box office poison" on his head is estimated to be much heavier.
"By the way, since you and Zhou Yanfa are classmates." Li Xuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Then you should be very familiar with Wu Mengda." β
"That guy, tsk......" Ren Dahua shook his head: "Our classmates are afraid of him, so Ah Fa sometimes helps him." β
"What's wrong with him?" Li Xuan said "knowingly".
"It's not that I spend all day drinking, I still love gambling, and I heard that I owe more than 300,000 gambling debts outside." Ren Dahua shook his head regretfully: "His acting skills are the best in our class, it's a pity." When I filmed "Fengyun" with him in January, the whole crew was borrowed by him, and I was afraid of borrowing it or not. β
"You high-level or something, you don't care?"
"What else can I do? Gamblers don't care. Ren Dahua spread his hands: "However, I heard that the above is going to hide him directly." β
Only then did Li Xuan reply in surprise: "Haven't you hid it yet?" β
"I don't know." Ren Dahua said directly: "It's impossible to say this matter clearly, but Wu Mengda's guy hasn't received the play for two months." β
It seems that Wu Mengda has been hidden in the snow, but it has only been two months, and the time is still too short, Li Xuan still remembers that Wu Mengda seems to have been directly hidden in the snow for a year or two. Looking at Zhou Xingchi, who was playing tricks in the library, Li Xuan frowned, and in two or three months, he would take the time to contact Wu Mengda and see if he could dig people up.
This golden pair is a powerful tool for making money. But the only bad thing is that the current Zhou Xingchi is still too tender.
The two-hour shooting time in the morning passed in a flash, and the library scene was definitely not finished, so I had to wait until 7 p.m. to come back to shoot. However, Zeng Zhiwei was still in charge of the shooting at night, but Li Xuan would not come over to supervise the filming, because he still had to go to the midnight scene of "Mr. Zombie".
This film, which was first released in Taiwan and was a big hit, did not cause much heated discussion in Hong Kong. In recent years, although there are not many films that can exceed 10 million Taiwan dollars at the box office in Taiwan, there are also a lot, is this Chu Yuan's nickname "Chu Million" for nothing?
The movie hasn't started yet, and the bustling audience has filled the theater nearly ninety percent.
Liu Xiwei, who was sitting in the back row of the theater, said happily to Li Xuan: "Ah Xuan, it seems that the Hong Kong box office of the movie will definitely be very good." β
That's when you didn't know that "Shanghai Tang" would start broadcasting tomorrow!
Li Xuan was bored for a while, but he couldn't say this clearly, so he had to smile helplessly, "Hehe, hope." By the way, how's your injury? β
"It's okay, it's almost good." Liu Xiwei waved his hand and replied indifferently: "Thank you Ah Xuan this time!" β
"Thank me?"
"yes." Liu Xiwei nodded and continued: "Ah Xuan doesn't know yet, Brother Sanmao is already ready to invest in me to make the next movie." β
"Forehead ......"
Li Xuan suddenly had a strange premonition, so he asked curiously, "Won't it be another zombie movie?" β
"Well, it's a zombie movie." Liu Yiwei nodded seriously and replied.
As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan was in a trance for a while, and a bunch of zombie films in later generations were basically filmed by Lin Zhengying's group, and they were filmed out of control.
Now Li Xuan can foresee that in the next few years, it is estimated that Lin Daochang will be able to be seen on the screen.
Does this count as following the trend? (To be continued.) )
