Chapter 226: Crash
As long as the movie is mentioned, it is estimated that 80% of the buddies will immediately think of those blood-pumping and swaying "love action movies".
Ahem, that's a bit far.
I have to admit that this movie was indeed popular for a while in the fifties and sixties, and even many films went abroad and frequently won the Oscars, Cannes, Venice and other three major film awards in the world. At that time, the backward Hong Kong film industry also sent many people across the ocean to this island country to learn film technology, such as Shaw Brothers Pictures.
But in the past sixty or seventy years, the production, distribution, and release of this film have almost been monopolized by a few major film companies. In recent years, these "big studio system" film companies have also begun to enter the same predicament as Shaw Brothers, coupled with the gradual rise of the television industry, which has led to the gradual decline of this film.
However, unlike Shaw Brothers, because the film market is countless times larger than that of Hong Kong, these major film companies have not yet reached the point of surviving. It is estimated that now that someone is promoting the reform of this movie, these movie giants will shine again.
Although the film is in decline, the film market of the film market cannot be ignored.
As early as 13 years ago, in 1968, it became the second largest economy in the capitalist world. Three years earlier, in 1978, it had officially surpassed the Soviet Union to become the world's second-largest economy. As a kind of spiritual enjoyment of human beings, movies are naturally a fruit built on the basis of the economy, which can be seen from the completely different performance of Taiwan's film market in 80 and 81.
The common people have no money, what kind of movie do they watch?
Therefore, it has always occupied the reputation of the world's second largest economy, and at the same time occupies the throne of the world's second largest film market. As for the film company that controls this huge film market, it has also quietly started its own pace of reform in recent years. Some companies, like Golden Harvest, began to use most of their energy to run the cinema chain, while more companies began to learn from the outside world to enrich themselves in order to find breakthroughs.
And Toho is obviously one of those film companies that want to seek a breakthrough.
The film company, which was founded in 1932, started as a theater operator and later began to operate the film industry. Perhaps in response to its name, "Tokyo Takarazuka", the film company has grown to become one of the five major film companies in the company. He has many movie brands under his name, such as Godzilla, Doraemon, Sinking of Saymoto, etc., and Li Xuan still remembers that "Midnight Bell" seems to be a movie produced by Dongbao.
Now that Li Xuan's "Police Story" is a big hit, it is not good that it can be ranked in the top five of this year's box office list, so he is now going to make a film with the original team, and Dongbao naturally has to 'assist' it.
On the first day of Chenglong's return to filming, the three assistant directors sent by Dongbao to assist were stunned by the series of wonderful actions he made to jump the Ferris wheel. Without a safety rope, he descended sharply from the nearly 60-meter-high Ferris wheel, and only Chenglong, a Hong Kong martial arts practitioner who played hard, dared to do this.
When they heard that the crew was going to shoot a flying car scene the next day, those wonderful faces made Li Xuan laugh secretly.
This group of samples is still cool in this era!
Because of the relationship between Toho and the Tokyo Police Agency, Li Xuan and the others successfully sealed a section of the road in the suburbs the next day for filming. And Mitsubishi's sponsorship was also in place, and large cars, small cars, buses, trucks, and trailers were parked in a large area of open space next to the road, and even the drivers were sent over.
"Aaron, are you okay?" Li Xuan looked at Chenglong sitting in the car suspiciously and asked.
"It's fine!" Chenglong waved his hand and said eagerly: "Ah Xian has taught me for a long time, I feel that I can do it, anyway, this scene is not dangerous, let me try it first." ”
"So be it." Li Xuan sighed helplessly, Chenglong, who had just been addicted to playing with his life, now wanted to take it himself when he encountered the notoriety of the gods, and he had to make him suffer a few losses to remember the lesson.
But......
Li Xuan looked at Luo Lixian in the passenger seat again and said, "Ah Xian, you look at Ah Long more, don't make a big mess." ”
“ok!”
Luo Lixian, who was wearing the same shirt as Yuan Dart, nodded in response, he is now Yuan Dart's stand-in. However, in this car chase scene, he is not only the stand-in of Yuan Dart, but also the stand-in of Yuan Hua, and he completed the speeding car tail flicking scene in the camera. Even Li Xuan wanted him to be Chenglong's stand-in, because the most dangerous speeding scene was Chenglong's.
But Chenglong, this girl, has been addicted to playing recently.
Li Xuan secretly sighed, ran back to the back of the monitor and shouted, "Buried in their respective positions, ready to start filming!" ”
"The 35th scene is a shot, action! Smack—"
As soon as the words fell, Li Xuan saw Cheng Long driving his red Mitsubishi car and rushing towards the camera from the monitor. In front of the car, there are 'backyards' surrounded by wooden fences, flower seedlings and dirt.
"Boom-"
With a soft sound, the bridge car rolled into the dirt and lifted its front wheels lightly, then flew over the fence, and then fell heavily to the ground and continued to drive forward.
"Jump-"
"Click!"
"Whew-"
There was a sound of the car braking suddenly, Chenglong's little red sedan quickly stopped in a 'backyard', and Li Xuan also quickly shouted 'click', but Chenglong didn't jump well for the second time and broke the fence.
"Props group, props group, hurry up and check the props, let's do it again." Li Xuan glanced at Chenglong, who was still shrugging his shoulders in the car, and hurriedly explained to the crew.
"Wow, Jackie is so kawaii!"
"Nani, really."
"It's so cool, I love him to death!"
“……”
Listening to the cheers of the fans coming from behind, Li Xuan felt a headache, can't these Harbin fans be quiet? Watching the props crew take away the fence, Chenglong slowly reversed the car, and Li Xuan couldn't help but look back at the group of fans standing behind the crew.
"Hey, didn't we just talk too loudly, and the director just glared at us." Kashiwahara Fangyu, who was standing in the crowd, whispered.
"Director? Stare at us? Matsuda Seiko glanced at Li Xuan's back suspiciously, and then said to Nahoko Kanehara: "Nahoko, did you see the director glaring at us?" ”
"The director glared at us?" Nahoko Kanehara said with a puzzled expression: "No, I've been watching Jackie just now." ”
“……”
Seiko Matsuda and Yoshinoshi Kashiwahara couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, too lazy to look at this friend who was a serious nymphomaniac.
The crew's next scene of a car jumping over the fence was originally something that Luo Lixian could have done at one time, but Chenglong took four full shots to complete. And Chenglong was still elated after the shooting, which made Li Xuan speechless.
The next few scenes are much simpler, there is nothing going on with Chenglong's red car, it is all Yuan Hua's drag racing shots. Yuan Hua didn't understand this guy and insisted on it, so he directly asked Luo Lixian to help him finish the whole process, and Li Xuan just made up a few shots of Yuan Hua in the car.
The most crucial scene came, Chenglong's red car had to fly over a trailer.
This is one of the most dangerous scenes in the film, because the slightest mistake will cause the car to fall upside down like filming a speeding car scene in a wooden house village. And this time the shot was even more difficult, because the sedan had to land accurately on the straight in front of the trailer after flying past the trailer, and both sides of the straight were full of cars blocking the road.
Li Xuan didn't know how Hong Jingbao and them filmed this scene in the later generations, but Li Xuan did it personally by Chenglong.
"Buried in their respective positions!" Li Xuan carried a loudspeaker and said, "I'm ready to start filming." ”
"The first shot of the 49th scene, action! Smack—"
With Li Xuan's order, all kinds of vehicles on the highway began to move according to the pre-arranged position and speed. Chenglong, who was sitting in the main driver, and Luo Lixian, who was in the co-driver, also drove their red car.
Suddenly, the red car accelerated and rushed straight up the rear door of the trailer on the ground.
In the surveillance in front of Li Xuan, he saw Chenglong's car climb onto the top of the trailer and fly out directly, past the trailer and over a yellow car in front, and directly hit the rear of a black car on the left.
"Bang!"
The red car landed unsteadily, hit another car, flipped over directly, and slid on the ground for more than five meters before hitting another car before stopping.
"Whew-"
There was a sound of sudden braking at the scene, and all the vehicles on the road stopped urgently. Those fans who were still cheering just now were suddenly stunned, obviously not expecting such a terrifying thing to happen to their idol.
"Click, hurry up and save people!"
Li Xuan only had time to shout a click, so he hurriedly gathered a large number of staff and ran towards the overturned car.
(ps: The car chase scene in "Lucky Star Gaozhao" was filmed very interestingly, and Chenglong used a stand-in to drive.) So if you look closely, the drivers of the two cars are often deformed, one with long hair and the other with short hair, and sometimes the yuan dart in the passenger seat even becomes a puppet. (To be continued.) )
