For Li Xuan's blessing, Wu Yusen did not show too much joy. Now he is a little numb to making comedies. No matter how good the box office is, he just treats it as a job.

Looking at the pile of films on the workbench, Wu Yusen asked curiously: "Is this the film that Boss Li himself just finished?" ”

"Well, that's it." Li Xuan's eyes were confused, looking at the film in front of him, and nodded back.

This is his first time as a director in the true sense, and in order to keep improving, he did not hesitate to spend nearly 50 days filming films. Fifty days, although it is only half of the time for Liu Yiwei to shoot "Mr. Zombie", it is already a long time for the overall Hong Kong movie.

"Can I take a look?" Wu Yusen asked cautiously, pointing to a piece of film that had just been cut.

Film editing can be divided into four steps: initial editing, re-editing, fine editing and final comprehensive editing. The first cut is generally based on the storyboard script, the characters' body movements, reactions, dialogues, etc. The double shear is a further correction on the basis of the initial shear; Fine editing, on the other hand, is more detailed and accurate editing, and the picture often has to be scrutinized repeatedly; Comprehensive editing is to add, subtract and adjust on the basis of the overall consideration of the structure and rhythm of the entire film after all the scenes of the whole film are complete and each scene has been basically cut.

The current Li Xuan has just started the first cut, and it hasn't been long since he first cut.

"Yes, no problem." Li Xuan stretched out his right hand and gestured slightly, he also wanted to hear what the future master of violent aesthetics would have to say about this movie.

Wu Yusen picked up the film casually, and began to carefully watch the picture on the film by the light of the back lamp on the workbench. Li Xuan also looked up and vaguely saw the picture on the film, but it was a scene where the foreign 701 members played by the Brandon guy and the black man fought in the drug lord Jin Jiu's lair.

That fight is one of the best fighting scenes in the movie.

Of course, the wonderful part is not that there is any breakthrough in the two-person moves of the fight, but that the whole picture deeply highlights a characteristic of the Black Man - cool!

This scene is also one of Li Xuan's favorite shots. Therefore, he is very much looking forward to what Wu Yusen can give an evaluation.

But......

Wu Yusen looked at it, but his brows furrowed, and the drag speed of the film in his palm was much faster.

"How?" Li Xuan asked a little apprehensively.

Wu Yusen didn't answer immediately, and waited until the film was finished before he said slowly: "The picture is very beautiful, and the fight is also very good, which gives me a hearty feeling." But ......"

Wu Yusen pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "However, don't you think it's too exaggerated?" Like, like ......"

Looking at Wu Yusen, who couldn't talk intermittently, Li Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Like a martial arts movie? ”

"No, it's not like martial arts." Wu Yusen shook his head and vetoed Li Xuan's words, touched his long hair and said: "Like, like ......" Wu Yusen's eyes suddenly widened, and said incredulously: "It's really like a martial arts movie." ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly, he could understand Wu Yusen's confusion now.

At this time, Hong Kong was an era when old-school martial arts movies were gradually declining and fashion films were gradually emerging, and Xu Ke, the future master of new-school martial arts films, was still groping for his own film path.

Wu Yusen studied under the old-school martial arts movie master Zhang Ce, and it was difficult to identify with this novel martial arts movie style for a while. However, no matter how much Wu Yusen denies it, the dripping and changing martial arts style in this movie is difficult to erase.

"Can martial arts movies still be filmed like this?" Wu Yusen muttered to himself.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth curved slightly, and he said teasingly: "Why can't you shoot like this?" If martial arts movies don't innovate, they will die. Li Xuan shook his head as he said and sighed before continuing: "Do you see that in the past few years, there are martial arts films in the top few Hong Kong movie box offices?" You must know that ten years ago, Hong Kong was all the world of martial arts films, and the era of "One-Armed Knife" is gone. ”

Saying this, Li Xuan looked up at Wu Yusen in front of him. This guy, as Zhang Ce's most promising apprentice, didn't he also go to shoot gunfight movies later. It's his good friend Xu Ke who has carried forward martial arts movies again.

"Innovation ......"

Wu Yusen thought for a while, and then put down the film in his hand with a long sigh.

"Boss Li."

"Huh?"

Wu Yusen glanced at Li Xuan carefully, and said slowly: "Can you give me three tickets at the midnight scene of the movie then?" ”

"Three tickets?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and nodded back: "Yes, it's just a gesture." ”

"Thank you."

Wu Yusen thanked him and opened his mouth to say something, but unfortunately in the end he said slowly: "I've bothered Boss Li for so long, I'm sorry, I'll leave first." ”

Li Xuan glanced at Wu Yusen strangely, and then nodded and replied: "Then forgive Li for not being able to send it far, Director Wu walks slowly." ”

"Haha, Boss Li is polite, goodbye!" Wu Yusen laughed heartily, turned around and walked towards the door of the production room.

Looking at the back that was still slightly emaciated at this time, Li Xuan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Director Wu......"

"Huh?"

Wu Yusen, who was standing at the door, looked back at Li Xuan suspiciously.

Li Xuan picked up the scissors on the workbench and pulled them out at random, before he smiled slowly: "Director Wu, if you leave Golden Harvest one day and don't want to make comedies, you can come to me to try." ”

“……”

Wu Yusen opened his mouth wide, looked at Li Xuan with a surprised expression, and only replied dryly after half a sound: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks."

Li Xuan looked at the back of Wu Yusen walking out of the door and replied lightly.

Visit?

The two of them are on the same side, and they are not familiar with each other, so what is there to visit. Li Xuan had already guessed Wu Yusen's approximate purpose when Wu Yusen asked him if he also participated in the filming of "The King of Killers".

This guy wants to be the second Liu Yiwei.

Fortunately, Wu Yusen didn't say it in the end, otherwise if Li Xuan refused this time, the two of them would have a bad face in the future.

Wu Yusen and Liu Xiwei are different, Liu Xiwei's identity is just a videographer in Golden Harvest, and the contract he signed at the beginning was not a director's long contract. After "Mr. Zombie" became famous this time, Liu Yiwei was signed by Golden Harvest as a director and began to direct the follow-up film "Zombie Taoist" produced by Hong Jingbao.

At that time, Li Xuan invested in a small videographer for Golden Harvest to make a movie, not only did he not owe favors, but it was said that he was cultivating talents for Golden Harvest.

And now Wu Yusen is different, he was originally a famous director signed by Golden Harvest, and the comedy he made is a box office guarantee. If Li Xuan invests in him to make a movie at this time, regardless of whether Jiahe agrees to lend talents or not, it seems that the investment alone makes people feel that Li Xuan is digging the foot of the wall.

What's more, if Jiahe really agreed to borrow, wouldn't Li Xuan owe Jiahe a big favor at that time.

This kind of thing that costs money and owes favors, Li Xuan is too lazy to do. Anyway, Wu Yusen's "The True Colors of Heroes" didn't come out so quickly, Li Xuan was not in a hurry at all, and when it was a last resort, Li Xuan might go into battle in person.

In the next few days, Li Xuan was very busy, and almost all of them were spent in the editing room of the post-production room. In the previous "Curse", most of them were long shots, which were very well cut. This time "Black Man" is different, maybe the protagonist has to change two or three shots when he says a word, which is completely testing Li Xuan's editing ability.

After working in the editing room for a week, Li Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, locked the film in the safe, and prepared to go out for a walk, and by the way, he went to the crew of "The King of Killers" to explore the class.

There are many low-rent housing buildings in Shek Kip Mei in Kowloon, which were specially built by the Hong Kong British political axe to solve the housing problem of the poor, and the protagonist of "The Emperor of Killers" "lived in seclusion" here.

When Li Xuan arrived, the crew was preparing to shoot a shootout scene in the building, and Ma Wenjun, who had been promoted to a professional special effects artist, was installing explosive blood packs on some dragon suits. Zhong Chuhong, Xiang Huaqiang and Yuan Hua played against each other in a long corridor, and Yongsheng's gold medal producer Ding Pei watched with interest.

"Ha-" Ren Dahua, who was leaning on the staircase, yawned loudly.

Li Xuan saw it interesting, so he walked up and asked with a smile: "Dahua, don't you have your role now?" ”

"Well, it's no fun." Ren Dahua replied casually, and replied listlessly: "My role is at the end, and when they are almost done, I will rush over to save the scene, ha-"

Ren Dahua said and yawned again.

"What, I haven't had a good rest these days?" Li Xuan looked at Ren Dahua and asked with concern.

Ren Dahua's face was painted with a light layer of makeup at this time, but it was not easy to see his face. However, this yawn is endless, and anyone can see that this guy shouldn't have had a good night's sleep in the past few days.

"Hmm." Ren Dahua nodded helplessly and continued: "Every day, the TV crew and the movie crew run on both sides, and the time is a bit insufficient. ”

"Well, let's do it, I'll wait and tell Brother Qiang to try to concentrate your scenes together." Li Xuan patted Ren Dahua's shoulder and said with relief,

"Thank you, Brother Xuan."

Ren Dahua nodded in thanks, but pressed his eyebrows vigorously with his right hand, it seemed that he was really tired.

"No thanks, no matter how I say it, I'm also your boss, keep ......"

"Haha, Ah Xuan is here!"

Before Li Xuan's words could speak, he was interrupted by a voice from the staircase. Looking at the dozen or so young people who came up from downstairs, Li Xuan asked with a smile, "Yu Tian, what are you doing?" It's still holding a stick, so it's not going to be a group fight. ”

"It was so much fun just now!" Li Yutian raised an iron rod in his right hand and said loudly: "We went to smash a small film company that was disobedient. ”

"Forehead ......" (To be continued.) )
