Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
So, Li Mingbao got all the things that were not in the original plot, such as those scenes of trading with gringos, Li Mingbao directly came to a helicopter and parked the plane on the top floor tarmac, and then the gringos came down with a few bodyguards in black suits.
Dollar bills don't just have a suitcase, so how much money can they hold? It was directly a cubic meter of boxes, and ten of them came in a row. The transaction is not a box of Hong Kong dollars, but a cashier's note. It must be high-end and high-grade, and the promissory note is still real, which is the kind issued by Li Mingbao and can immediately withdraw money in Standard Chartered Bank.
Tong Guò Li Mingbao's tall transformation, the original instigation of "The True Colors of Heroes", immediately rose to the regional counterfeit money group. And the scene in Taiwan is not a plot where some small policemen block people in broken cars, but directly to the army.
In this way, the film is certainly lofty, and Wu Yusen was also frightened by Li Mingbao's spending model, and at first he didn't think that a gunfight film could cost two or three million Hong Kong dollars. But when Li Mingbao came to design the plot, Wu Yusen was worried about whether two or three million Hong Kong dollars would be enough for Li Mingbao to consume.
You must know that in the scene where the army was invited, although there were not many scenes, there were not many people from the army, less than a hundred people, and there were not many shots, but even so, Li Mingbao spent 600,000 Hong Kong dollars on this scene, and the money to contact those bigwigs in Taiwan has not been counted.
In Wu Yusen's view, Li Mingbao is a typical loser, there is not much time in total, but he spent one-sixth of the shooting cost, if Wu Yusen didn't understand what it means to keep improving, now he finally understands what Li Mingbao said about excellence, to put it bluntly, it is to use money to smash an effect.
But after Li Mingbao's money was spent, the effect was immediate, and the grade of the movie improved a lot. Compared with the plots in Wu Yusen's previous plans, Li Mingbao's arrangement is more in line with the rhythm of the plot.
Therefore, even if Wu Yusen watched Li Mingbao spend money, his heart hurt when he spent it, so he had to look at the camera at this time, out of sight, and not upset. Wu Yusen's stinginess is actually caused by the current environment of filming movies in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is already very small, and making a movie requires more consideration of cost.
The most successful in the Hong Kong film industry is undoubtedly Shao Daheng, and the second most successful is Zou Daheng. These two tycoons, Shao Tycoon is desperate for money, no matter what aspect of the movie, Shao Tycoon is very stuck. Just like those costume props for filming costume dramas, Uncle Six never thought of washing them.
When the previous crew runs out, they lock it in the warehouse and wait for the next crew to use it. Some people love to be clean, so they will wash their dirty costumes. Some people don't like to be clean, the costumes that were soiled by the previous crew, the next crew will use them, continue like this, no one cares if it stinks, if anyone receives such a costume, they will consider themselves unlucky, either wash it themselves, or continue to wear it. The sixth uncle's slamming of the door can be seen.
Although Zou Tycoon is not like the sixth uncle, but in fact, he is not much better, for popular actors, Zou Tycoon naturally attaches great importance to it, and the price he gives is also very high, but for ordinary people, Zou Tycoon is actually like that. If Zou Daheng wants to spend hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for a few minutes of filming like Li Mingbao, he is definitely not in the mood to do this.
The so-called upward and downward effect, the two top bosses above are all such problems, and the people below have been with them for a long time, so they are naturally more or less contaminated with such problems, Wu Yusen is sitting on a cold bench in Golden Harvest, and the amount of filming has never exceeded the boundary of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
So when he first started filming, Wu Yusen didn't know how to spend money. Later, Li Mingbao took over, so that those actors really realized how the money was spent, especially Zhou Run, the dollar bill that lit the cigarette, but the real dollar bill, the cigarette was not worth as much as the dollar bill, which made Zhou Yan a little trance when filming, so he really used the dollar bill to light a cigarette?
And at the end of the movie, after everyone saw Li Mingbao's wealthy filming methods, they all adapted to it, and the progress of filming was naturally much faster. Filming is fast, it is a normal thing for old actors and old actors, and when Shaw Brothers was filming, it was not uncommon for people to be able to sleep while standing while filming TV series.
But for the two newcomer starring, Zhang Guorong and Li Zhixiong, this is simply fatal. Zhang Guorong used to think that practicing singing was a very painful thing, but now after continuous filming, he immediately understands that practicing singing is simply heaven, but fortunately, Zhang Guorong is full of resilience, and with one breath, he persevered.
And Li Zhixiong is not so lucky, although he does not appear in many scenes, but his role is very important, so how to make himself perform more well has become the most important topic for Li Zhixiong in the crew.
originally had no acting experience, but being urged by the crew made Li Zhixiong's experience immediately string up. In order to show the ruthlessness under the suppleness, Li Zhixiong has suffered enough, at the beginning Li Zhixiong was not enlightened, in order to let him enter the play smoothly, Wu Yusen even used his hands-on ability to teach Li Zhixiong a lesson, with a realistic lesson, so that Li Zhixiong always understands, how to express this ruthlessness.
The most direct consequence is that director Wu Yusen, when filming Li Zhixiong's scenes, he always felt cold on his body. Later, Li Zhixiong was also included in the play, and filming his role became much simpler. And he has also received a lot of praise from Wu Yusen. But perhaps Wu Yusen pressed Li Zhixiong hard at the beginning, so that Li Zhixiong always didn't like to deal with Wu Yusen.
Wu Yusen was inexplicably lying down, in fact, the culprit was Li Mingbao, who was the producer, because he saw that Li Zhixiong was always not in the play, so he came up with such a bad idea. The result was very good, but Wu Yusen was hated by Li Zhixiong.
Fortunately, Li Zhixiong is only the black-bellied boss in the movie, not the boss in reality, otherwise, Wu Yusen would really be dead.
If you want to say that the best person in this crew, it is still Zhang Guorong, because he plays a hot-blooded policeman, and his age is also very consistent with the current Zhang Guorong, so although filming is quite tiring, Zhang Guorong is half true and half acting, and it is easy to play this role as popular. Compared with the original version, there are still some contrived appearances, this version of Zhang Guorong can definitely get a high score.
After the crew got on the right track, the filming progress was very fast, and it only took a month and a half for the whole drama to be filmed. Among them, we must add the time of filming in Taiwan, and the filming progress in Hong Kong is not at the same level as Hollywood.
In Hong Kong, there is only Wang Jiawei and the director of Hollywood, and Wang Jiawei's movies are also art films, anyway, when Li Mingbao has nothing to do, he always goes to watch the movies of Hong Kong's future famous directors, and other movies Li Mingbao still watches very tasteful, even if it is some films, it can prove that the director's skills are not done for the sake of doing.
But Wang Jiawei's movie, Li Mingbao watched it once and dizzed once, anyway, he always couldn't understand it, and only those fish in the water would be fooled by him, and people like Shao Liushu, if Wang Jiawei did things under him, then basically Wang Jiawei would only have to resign. At this point, Li Mingbao's aesthetics are similar to those of the sixth uncle.
But the world of artists is something that mortals don't understand, so for those art films, except for watching some more exciting shots, Li Mingbao is fast-forwarding. And like Wang Jiawei's movie, Li Mingbao is not interested in fast forward.
After the filming of the movie is over, it is only natural that it will be completed. And after the finish, it's a big meal. In this feast, Li Mingbao is not only about drinking, but also about resolving the grievances between Wu Yusen and Li Zhixiong.
Because Wu Yusen is somewhat innocent, if it wasn't for Li Mingbao's bad idea, Li Zhixiong would definitely not hate Wu Yusen. But now, even after filming, Li Zhixiong didn't give Wu Yusen a good look, in such a situation, how could Li Mingbao bear to let Wu Yusen carry the black pot?
After all, Wu Yusen really put his heart into this scene, although the final editing sample has not yet come out, but looking at those shots, Li Mingbao also knows that the "True Colors of Heroes" he filmed is even better than the original version.
It's not the plot that's outstanding, it's the details that are brilliant. There is a good saying that the details determine success or failure, and it is the same when it comes to movies. Although Hong Kong makes movies here, there are few attention to details.
Even when the sixth uncle was filming a TV series, in order to save money, many times he even carried back. The scenery is all set up. At a glance, you can see that those shots were not shot in such and such a valley or in such and such a cave. Instead, it was made out in the studio of Shaw Brothers and processed in the later stage.
It's enough to fool Hong Kong locals with such a movie, but if you want to fool those gringos, there is basically no drama, so the movies made by Uncle Six have basically never entered the North American market, because those audiences are not easy to fool.
Regarding the grievances between Li Zhixiong and Wu Yusen, after Li Mingbao personally poured a glass of wine for Li Zhixiong to make amends, Li Zhixiong disappeared even if he had a big grievance. You must know that Li Mingbao is a real billionaire, and such a person made himself a little wronged in order to film, and finally made amends in person, such sincerity, what else can Li Zhixiong be dissatisfied with?
With Li Mingbao's explanation, Li Zhixiong soon became friends with Wu Yusen, as long as Li Zhixiong put aside his prejudices, he could see Wu Yusen's ability, before because of hatred, he didn't see it if he saw it, but now that his prejudices are gone, the two sides can naturally chat happily.
