Li Kun (Zhao Yazhi) and Ruan Shizhuo (Wan Ziliang) are a sweet couple in the eyes of outsiders, and Li Kun announced that the two are about to get married. One day, two bodies, a man and a woman, were found on Longhu Mountain, and the police confirmed them as Li Kun and Ruan Shizhuo, and suspected that the murderer was a madman (Xu Shaoqiang) who lived in a dilapidated house in the mountains, and detained him.

Li Kun's former friend Lian Zhengming (Zhang Aijia) has many difficult to explain in the current case, so he asked his friend to examine the autopsy report again, and went to Macao to investigate, and finally found out the truth of the case.

The story of the script of "Crazy Robbery" is roughly like this, it was created by Chen Yunwen based on a bizarre double corpse murder case born on Longhu Mountain in 197o, Shen Chong remembered this background, so he was able to find the filming location of that year, which surprised Xu Anhua and Chen Yunwen.

On Friday, February 16, the crew officially started filming.

Shen Chong was not present at the opening ceremony, the magazine was very important to his future plans, so Shen Chong had to do everything himself, manuscript review, art design, typesetting layout, etc., complicated, and he had to interview the reporters and editors who came to apply, he was very busy, and in the first few days of the crew's filming, Shen Chong just went to hang around every day, showing his face, and the main work of the producer was handed over to Zeng Lizhen to do.

It wasn't until three days later that Shen Chong found a day of free time to go to "Crazy Robbery" to fulfill his duties as a producer.

According to the shooting plan, on this day, Xu Anhua was going to shoot some shots of the street near Li Kun's house played by Zhao Yazhi, Shen Chong stood outside the scene, carefully observing the details of Xu Anhua's scene scheduling, and whenever he had any experience, he immediately took out a pen and paper and recorded it for future reference.

Shen Chong has always felt that everyone, whether it is a lawyer, an official, a white-collar worker, a street vendor, a migrant worker on a construction site, or even a robber or a thief, has a movie dream in his heart, dreaming of making a movie of his own, because life is too monotonous and boring.

He is naturally no exception, but he is neither from a professional background nor has any shooting experience, and after a while, when the conditions are ripe, he will definitely go into battle to be a director himself.

"Mr. Shen, I've never seen a producer like you." After Zhang Aijia finished a shot, he walked next to Shen Chong, looked at the small notebook in his hand, and teased: "Take the small notebook, record everyone's watch, and then deduct the salary when you check out?" ”

Sister Zhang laughed. Shen Chong looked at Zhang Aijiajiao's beautiful face and big black and white eyes, smiled, generously spread the book to her, and said: "I'm just very interested in the director's work, and I will record a little experience." ”

"The simplest and most decent set design is the best, everything in the scene should be helpful to the story, if not, it shouldn't be put in...... Real-world scenarios are often too complex, with too many excesses or contradictions, and need to be simplified ......" (Note 1)

Zhang Aijia picked up the small notebook, and after reading a paragraph, she was surprised: "Mr. Shen is so professional, is he studying movies?" ”

"No, I used to study Chinese." Twenty-four or five-year-old Zhang Aijia is radiant, and she is Shen Chong's favorite beauty with intellectual temperament, in front of her, Shen Chong felt that his heart was beating faster and his breathing was not smooth, so he took a step back without a trace, and said: "These are just a little experience of my own blind imagination. ”

"Mr. Shen plans to be a director in the future?"

"yes, who wouldn't want to be a director?" Shen Chong took back the small notebook, slapped his palms, and said, "Sister Zhang also has the intention of being a director, right?" ”

"Of course, I've always wanted to make movies with my own style." Zhang Aijia showed her signature crooked smile and said, "Why don't Mr. Shen give me a chance." ”

"If Sister Zhang has a good script, I can consider investing." Shen Chong agreed. Zhang Aijia is talented, actors, directors, and producers can all achieve the top level, which is worth making friends and cultivating, "It's good to call me Ah Chong, there is no need to be so formal in private." ”

Shen Chong has been silent in front of the crew, maintaining the image of a cold-faced and cool brother, he is too young, his face is still a little nerdy, he is good at being bullied, he is worried that if he is too friendly, he will lose his ability to control the crew, and as the only investor and producer, he does not need to be close to everyone.

So all along, everyone has been called by Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen, and he also responded.

"Mr. Shen......" Zhang Aijia saw Shen Chong shaking his head, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Ah Chong, will you really invest in me to make a movie?" ”

"Of course it's true." Shen Chong took out a business card and said, "Sister Zhang can come to me at any time." ”

Zhang Aijia took the business card and looked at it, it was simple, no decorative patterns, no company name, no personal title, just a piece of hard white paper, printed with two lines of words, one line is the name, and the other line is the phone number.

"Ah Chong, your business card is really concise enough." Zhang Aijia flicked the business card with her green fingers, and said with a smile: "The company and the title are not written, be careful to take it out and be looked down upon, and treat it as a jobless vagrant." ”

"Business card, it's not an ID card, you have to fill in all the information, as long as you can contact someone." Shen Chong said indifferently: "I've only heard of people relying on clothes, but I haven't heard of people relying on business cards." ”

Zhang Aijia was teased by Shen Chong's pursed lips and snickered - she didn't dare to laugh loudly, it was easy to be picked up by the recording equipment - the clean and bright smile made Shen Chong feel refreshed.

"That's right, Sister Zhang." After chatting a few words, Shen Chong remembered something and said, "Can you help me contact some Taiwanese filmmakers?" ”

"What, you want to invest in making movies in Taiwan?"

"I don't have that idea yet, I should go in the future." Shen Chong flipped the small notebook to the back, tore off a piece of paper, wrote a few lines, handed it to Zhang Aijia, and explained: "I am preparing a film magazine, there is a lack of high-quality manuscripts, and there is a strong cultural atmosphere in Taiwan, so I want Sister Zhang to help contact and see if anyone is willing to contribute to my magazine." This is the address of the magazine. ”

"You still run a magazine?" Zhang Aijia was surprised, she took the note, read it once, took out her wallet, put the note in place, and then tilted her head sideways and asked, "What's the name of the magazine?" ”

"First Film Review." A group of scumbag editors didn't know how to name it, and in the end, Shen Chong plagiarized the idea of a later financial magazine and came up with the name, "It's this month's magazine, and it's still in preparation, mainly collecting some movie reviews with humanistic temperament." ”

"First Film Review...... It's a weird name. ”

"I think it's weird too." Shen Chong smiled and said seriously: "I originally wanted to name the magazine "Shen's Film Review", but I was afraid that readers would say that I was too arrogant, so I changed the name, and I wanted to do the best, I hope to make it the world's No. 1 film magazine." ”

Zhang Aijia stared at Shen Chong with a pair of wonderful eyes, and finally couldn't decide whether he was joking or serious.

At this moment, the drama manager ran over and informed Zhang Aijia that she was about to start filming her scene.

"I'll get you in touch and take a look." Zhang Aijia pinched the business card, waved her hand, and then trotted away.

Shen Chong looked at her back, and his heart was entangled.

There are two beauties in "Crazy Robbery" - Zhao Yazhi and Zhang Aijia, both of whom are actors that Shen Chong likes very much.

In the previous life, Shen Chong's first spring dream was dedicated to the White Lady, Zhao Yazhi can be described as a real dream lover, now at this time, she is only twenty-four or five years old, it is the most vivid time for women, using Jin Yong's words to describe Yin Susu, that is, "Qingli is incomprehensible", which is very tempting to Shen Chong.

However, after the crew had contact with Zhao Yazhi a few times, Shen Chong quickly controlled his mind and cut off his ambition to conquer and own her, for a very simple reason - Zhao Yazhi is married and has a child who is more than two years old. (Note 2)

In "oo7: Casino Royale", oo7 and Vesper have this conversation:

"You're not going to give me any trouble, are you? Mr. Bond. ”

"No, don't worry, you're not my type."

"Smart?"

"Single (sing1e)."

oo7 doesn't like single women, and Shen Chong doesn't like to get entangled with married women, especially those with children, who are too troublesome, and secondly, he is a bit of a moral cleanliness and extremely hates the destruction of other people's families.

In his previous life, Shen Chong had a crush on a female classmate in junior high school, and he never forgot it for a long time, and more than ten years later, he overheard her news, so he drove thousands of miles to find her, and then he was disillusioned - the innocent little Lori of the year was replaced by a child of more than 2oo pounds, the goddess is gone, and the good memories are gone......

This encounter of destroying the three views made Shen Chong feel that the goddess was a fantasy creature, but it could not be played with from a distance, just like a soap bubble in the sun, colorful and mysterious, but if you puncture that layer of membrane, "pop"! There was nothing left, nothing but emptiness.

Therefore, Shen Chong deliberately kept a distance from Zhao Yazhi and was careful to be on guard, for fear that he would be confused by the fantasy of his previous life and the beauty in front of him, and the goddess who crossed the thunder pool and dragged her family with her mouth could not afford to hurt her......

But for Zhang Aijia, Shen Chong was very moved.

As the saying goes, the finance minister is cowardly, a wooden and shy otaku magician, if he wins 5oo, he is likely to make a confession to the goddess, or buy a double fly service or something...... Shen Chong is not a magician, and the prize he won is far from being comparable to 5oo, so he has no intention of living a monogamous ascetic life from the beginning of the crossing.

Regardless of Zhang Aijia's charm and talent, just talking about her family, Shen Chong is quite concerned, her maternal grandfather was the director of Taiwan's Information Bureau, or the national policy adviser of the "Presidential Office", and her mother is a socialite, and the family has a lot of influence in Taiwan.

Zhang Aijia is currently unmarried, and from the observation of the past few days, she does not have a boyfriend yet, but if she does not act quickly, she will soon get married to the head of the Hong Kong bureau of the Associated Press, who is 16 years older than her......

It's a bit tricky...... Shen Chong is not a love saint, nor does he have a charm aura, so he really doesn't know where to start.

Let it be, it's really not good, just be a good friend, appreciate a woman, and you don't necessarily have to get into bed to achieve a positive result.

Shen Chong comforted himself, then walked over and began to observe Zhong Zhiwen's control of the camera.

Hong Kong's current film industry is very weak, and the concept of making movies is still very backward, focusing only on how to tell a story, and not paying much attention to other details.

For example, the script only requires the story to be told well, and as for the character building, the dialogue is concise, and there is no requirement at all.

When shooting, prop making, costume design, photographic lenses, and recording equipment can be saved, and they can be improvised as much as possible, so as to reduce costs and improve the degree of shooting.

The online novels of later generations are in the same vein as Hong Kong movies, and the characters, environmental descriptions, good or bad writing, etc., are all not required, just for the story to be interesting and updated quickly......

Shen Chong can't do anything about it for the time being, the overall movie environment is not good, and it can't be changed with money, for example, "Crazy Robbery" was originally mono, Shen Chong insisted on using binaural recording, as for stereo sound...... Not to mention that it can't be rented, even if you rent the equipment to record stereo, it's useless, and there is currently no cinema in Hong Kong that can show stereo sound.

So he only asked Zeng Lizhen to rent the best equipment as much as possible to provide Xu Anhua with good shooting conditions.

In 1979, the Hong Kong film industry did not have the concept of so-called "art direction", and the costumes, props, actors' styling design, the overall color, light and shadow of the film all depended on the director's feelings.

I can't care about anything else, this can be managed, some time ago at a meeting in the magazine club, from the editor's chat, Shen Chong got Zhang Shuping's information - he was once Tang Shuxuan's assistant director.

If you can find this great god, you naturally can't let it go, Shen Chong made a special trip and personally invited him to come to the crew of "Crazy Robbery" as an art director.

In today's shooting plan, there is no shot of Zhao Yazhi, so Zhang Shuping took her Li's TV station and asked a makeup artist to design a look for her - Li's TV station was worried about internal and external troubles, and the work was insufficient, and almost all the employees below took private jobs.

I don't know if it's because of Shen Chong, the big boss, who is called supervision, today's shooting is unusually smooth, around five o'clock, as soon as the sky darkened, the crew completed the content of the photography plan, after Xu Anhua announced the end of work, everyone packed up their things, said hello to Shen Chong, and then dispersed.

Shen Chong and Xu Anhua drove by Zeng Lizhen and took a thick stack of filmed films to the Hong Kong printing company to print work samples.

Because film shooting, you can't see the shooting effect immediately like digital, so generally after the shooting, you have to go to the processing workshop to develop it on the same day, so that the positive film printed every day is called a working sample, which is the main material for future editing, and the purpose of the processing on the day is to make a reference for the director, check the shooting effect, and decide whether it needs to be reshot.

For films like "Crazy Robbery" shot on 35mm film, in order to save costs, after each day, the photographer will circle the shots that were successfully shot, and only need to develop these lenses, and those NG shots will be discarded.

However, sometimes the ng shots have a great enlightening effect on the director, and this movie has a special meaning for Shen Chong, so he decided to develop all the shots and spend more than 5o more than 5o for this......

Shen Chong followed Xu Anhua to the printing company, firstly to see the samples, and secondly, curiosity, the printing workshop is about the most mysterious place in the hearts of movie lovers.

When Shen Chong returned to his residence after finishing his work, it was already the middle of the night, and he only felt that his back was sore and his legs were weak, and it was really hard to play movies, even harder than playing online games all night......

On the door of the house, there was a note pasted with a message written by Li Kaiyuan: There is a package sent from the United States, I will help you collect it, and I will come to pick it up tomorrow.

Shen Chong touched his nose and laughed silently - this is good news.
