No matter how it is reported and discussed outside, or what changes it brings to the Hong Kong film industry, Lin Xiaozhi has focused all his energy on this movie since it was launched.

April l, the second day of filming, is also the day when his last movie was officially released in North America, but because of the time difference, Lin Xiaozhi has to wait until the next day even if he wants to know Lu Dao.

Feeling that the hat on his head seemed to block his vision, Lin Xiaozhi pushed the brim of his hat with the guide microphone, looked at the busy crowd not far away through his sunglasses, and asked.

“…… How's the preparation? ”

"Item ......"

"Ready ......"

In the response, a non-standard Cantonese was particularly eye-catching, "The camera is the last to debug, give me two minutes......"

When Lin Xiaozhi heard the voice, there was a short and thin man with short and refined hair not far away, fiddling with several cameras without raising his head. A swarthy face that is different from that of most white Hong Kongers, it is the result of years of being blown by the wind from the Loess Plateau. Although this man looks like an ordinary farmer, unlike most of the grassroots drama workers in the crew, he is a standard high-achieving student who graduated from the photography department of Beijing Film Academy, and he also directed a movie two years ago that made a name for himself in Western society, and he is a standard talent.

This person is Zhang Yimou

"Okay, don't worry, you take your time" Lin Xiaozhi replied casually, he could get the famous director who was known as the first in the mainland in the future to be a photographer for him, he didn't think about it at all before he was reborn, but now he has done it.

And the reason why Zhang Yimou, who is now well-known in the mainland film circle, will give him a handheld photographer, and it is related to his trip to the north a month ago. Because Zhang Yimou is one of the first filmmakers to come to Hong Kong for exchange.

Zhang Yimou, who was born in 50, don't look at people who are in their forties now, he can't stand the talent of others, and he still has the ability to attract women. Sure enough, as soon as he inquired afterwards, he learned that the two were almost lovers. But the problem also came, although Gong Li was not married, but he Zhang Yimou had been married for many years.

Even the new generation of directors who are being vigorously cultivated in the mainland today, but problems have been exposed in their private lives, and Zhang Yimou is under a lot of pressure. After the East Window incident, he went to Hong Kong to avoid the mainland's written criticism, and stayed for more than half a year. can hide from the first day of junior high school, but can't hide from fifteen, at the end of last year, Zhang Yimou still divorced his ex-wife. Affected by the wind commentary, now that the bad influence has not passed, he is not very comfortable in the mainland, which is why after learning that Lin Xiaozhi reached an exchange plan with the mainland, he took the lead in successfully obtaining the first batch of exchange film personnel qualifications through the relationship between the two places.

However, it is not said that Lao Mouzi's photography skills are only higher than many long-established photographers in Hong Kong, and even compared with those gold medal photographers who pay hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn. He is very sensitive to light and color, and the red sorghum shot at a meager cost is very beautiful in its film style and color, and many movies shot by Hong Kong at a cost of tens of millions of dollars are slightly rough compared to one of them

Because of this, at the end of last month, I didn't expect Zhang Yimou to come uninvited, personally come to the door with the mainland's exchange recommendation letter, and when he came to him, he was still selecting a photographer for his new movie, and he didn't think much about it, and directly gave him this position.

Not far away, a team of more than a dozen people was taking advantage of the gap before the start of filming to relieve the tension in their hearts by chatting, except for a few of them, all of them were a combination of high-quality handsome men and beautiful women, so that many people present couldn't stop looking over there. Lin Xiaozhi was no exception, his eyes fell there from time to time, and occasionally showed a smile.

Liu Dehua, Qian Jiale, Leung Jiahui, He Jiajin, Jiang Hua, Li Keqin, Chen Baiqiang, Xu Jinjiang, Wu Yijiang, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu, Tong Ling, Li Saifeng, Yang Lijing, Wan Qiwen, Yuen Yuyi, Weng Hong, Qiu Yueqing, Wu Qili, Shi Qilian...... This luxurious lineup, I believe that even if the "Resident Evil" movie has appeared for more than ten years, when some viewers re-open this movie, they can't help but exclaim when they see the luxurious cast list.

Lau Dehua and Li Keqin, the two little kings in the music world, come from an entertainment company in which he holds a lot of shares, and they are signed artists under the name of Hong Kong ace manager Zhang Guozhong. Liang Jiahui and Xu Jinjiang just signed a contract with Media Asia not long ago, and they and Qian Jiale are now the three most powerful male artists in Media Asia, and Chen Baiqiang, the king of the music world, is also from Media Asia.

Jiang Hua, He Jiajin, Wu Yijiang, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu are ATV's signed artists, ATV now has the most eye-catching star resources in Hong Kong, but with Lin Jianming here, the resources there are almost no different from his. After he became a shareholder of ATV, he easily brought dozens of first, second and third-tier artists from ATV with a phone call.

The lineup of female artists is no exception, Tong Ling, Li Saifeng, and Yang Lijing are three of the four major female stars of Debao in the past (the last one is Yang Ziqiong), after Debao was acquired by Lin Xiaozhi, they also became signed female artists under the name of Media Asia. Qiu Yueqing was originally a signed artist of New Asia, and the other women were all from ATV, all of whom were the champions, runners-up and runners-up in the past three Asian sisters. Including Lin Jianming's little lover Weng Hong, after hearing that he was filming a new movie, he pestered Lin Jianming to be a lobbyist for her in person, and came to him to gild.

The same is true for several other Asian sisters, some are self-recommended by Mao Sui, and some are looking for someone to find a relationship, and Lin Xiaozhi did not refuse to come to these beautiful vases, and almost none of them refused to accept them all. Anyway, they all want to make a name for themselves, not only are they paid low but they are also beautiful, although their acting skills are very bad, it is enough to have that face for the audience and foreigners.

Now that the twentieth century is coming to an end, the world has begun to enter the era of eyeball economy, and even the most clumsy filmmakers will gradually discover that the era of acting is not as good as good looks has arrived. Lin Xiaozhi, who was mixed in the film and television industry before his rebirth, has seen a lot of box office and cleaning up myths with a good figure and a face, not to mention a certain Zhiling sister and a certain fragrant foot in China. The reason why one Korean drama after another produced in South Korea can create a sensation among the younger generation, and the launch of one male and female combination after another has attracted countless otaku and female fans, and the opinion of a poisonous media person in China is very unique: "Which man doesn't want to be the kind of girlfriend in the thigh era, which Huaichun girl doesn't want to be slept with by the professor's handsome boyfriend every day." To put it bluntly, it's selling face, but the stick is more successful than us."

I have to admit that when it comes to creating idols, South Korea's sticks have surpassed their predecessors, Hong Kong and Japan, and can be said to occupy half the sky in Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, and its experience and success must be recognized.

Lim Hyo-ji is also ready to emulate South Korea's stick, and "Resident Evil" must sell well, not only to show off the plot, but also to promote it through all channels. At the same time, he is also ready to strengthen the shaping of stars. He also has his own ambitions, hoping to successfully use this film to bring the company's signed and prospective artists into South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries, so that he can revive the halo of Hong Kong stars that has begun to fade in recent years, reopen the fanatical pursuit of stars, and one day re-enable Hong Kong stars to carry the banner of leading Asian fashion again.

But having said that, the scene in "Resident Evil" is not too big, and there are not many male and female artists who can really get lines, so Lin Xiaozhi, who is hard-hearted, has already prepared to give most of them a collective 'bento'. "Resident Evil" begins with a scene called the "Hive Gas Incident", and many of them will receive the "Love Bento" he prepared for them in the "Gas Incident,......

"Director, it's okay......"

Zhang Yimou quickly completed the debugging of the camera, wiped the lens with a cloth specially prepared to wipe the lens, and then raised his head and shouted, waking up Lin Xiaozhi who was thinking.

“……”

Hearing him mention that the debugging was done, Lin Xiaozhi stood up and moved his muscles a little, and noticed that dozens of eyes around him were focused on him, he looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and raised his eyebrows, only then took off his sunhat and sunglasses, and lifted the microphone: "A new day has started again, and to be honest, I am very dissatisfied with our efficiency yesterday." Although our crew is running in on the first day, there were 47 NGs on the first day, which is too much, and I hope everyone can pay attention to it today. I'm not just talking about getting the big guy to memorize the lines, but if you still have the ambition to become a superstar, it's also important to take time to figure out the role in private. That's all I have to say, and I hope you'll listen......"

Yesterday was the first day of filming of "Resident Evil", but the efficiency did make him very dissatisfied with the fact that he hadn't picked up the lead microphone for more than half a year. There were frequent problems in the filming of the first few simple scenes in the first act, and some of them were indeed due to the problems of the crew's run-in, which he could understand and would not lose his temper about it. But he also noticed that more mistakes did not come from the crew's run-in, but because the actors were difficult to adapt to his high requirements for acting skills. Most of the male and female artists who showed their faces yesterday didn't notice that they couldn't perform the image of a scientific researcher because they performed too casually, which led to a sense of nondescript eccentricity

If the audience is not serious, it will be fine, but if it is released in Europe and the United States, it will not be criticized by many European and American audiences and film critics who are already wearing colored glasses to look at Hong Kong films. It is for this reason that today he has put the words of warning in front of him at the beginning.

"I know it, the director ......"

There was a flurry of untidy answers, but the voice was loud. It can be seen that the movie has just been filmed now, and the excitement in most people's hearts has not faded, and filming during this time period is the most passionate time. If you wait until a few months after the filming is completed, I'm afraid this voice will become weak.

However, Lin Xiaozhi was obviously quite satisfied with this, glanced at the watch time on his wrist, and shook the guide microphone in his hand: "The last minute is ready, the first act of the movie, the fourth scene is ready to start filming......"
