Chapter 6: The Vicious Dog Barkes
With no time to take care of other people's minds for the rest of his life, he is busy choosing locations for the movie! That's right, it's the location, not the set! As a traveler, he really can't accept that in the film he directed, there is a scene similar to a stage play. It's not shameful enough!
In the era of black and white, the set was a very important job and would cost a lot of money. If you save the cost of the set and reshoot all the exteriors, it will not only save a lot of costs, but also an unprecedented gimmick. At least it's a certain place to be in the history of cinema. As the boss who invested in this movie, Yu Sheng felt that Zhang Shankun would be very happy.
You say it takes a lot of time and money to choose a location? Please, that's in the Hereafter! At a time when the plot script of the movie is not taken seriously, and visual impact becomes the first element! Therefore, the scene is not gorgeous, the location is not remote, the actors are afraid of not scandals, and the modeling is not peculiar......
And in this ambush on all sides, as long as there is an exterior scene, it is fine. Anyway, wasn't the grassland of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" filmed on Hong Kong Island? Since the later "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be filmed as a grassland with a lawn, there is no reason why it cannot be filmed in Shanghai.
In other words, there are many parks in the French Concession!
Yu Sheng originally thought that his proposal beyond the times would be opposed by everyone, but he even thought of the explanation of the explanation, but everyone was unanimous in their interest. After inquiring, he realized that there were not many people in the crew, including the small white-collar workers in the photography, editing, props, costumes and other departments who signed contracts with Xinhua Company, who had been to the park. And I don't go there very often, and at most I don't go there a few times.
It's not that the park at this time is as crowded and immobile as it was in later generations. It's that the ticket price is really expensive for small white-collar workers with low income. For parks in the French Concession, tickets must be used up at one time. Otherwise, it will be void the next day! Therefore, most people will buy a regular ticket if they want to enter the park. Each regular coupon is a Silver Ocean, which can be used for one year.
At this time, due to the influx of refugees into the concession, the price of labor in the concession was extremely low, and the price of daily necessities was extremely high. The daily wage of every industrial worker, such as a cotton spinning worker, is only about four corners of silver! And these small white-collar workers of Xinhua Company have an average daily salary of less than Octagon Yinyang!
Excluding the daily expenses for eating, drinking, lazing, and transportation, as well as the monthly rent, water, electricity, and the cost of buying clothes, shoes and socks, lights and fuel, etc., the remaining money is only a few cents per day...... And the money saved up has to be kept for personal contacts, falling in love, playing mahjong, preparing for illness or accidents, how can you have spare money and time to go to any park!
The petty white-collar workers in these crews are supportive, and the refugees who are hired to be extras are even happier. Although they live in Shanghai Tang, the prosperity of Shanghai has nothing to do with them, they are just struggling to survive here. It was a great surprise for them to be able to eat a full meal and see the western scenery of Shanghai.
So after everything was arranged, Yu Sheng greeted the park through Caterres first, and promised not to disrupt the order of the park, and then led a group of people to flock to the park.
In later generations, the original film of "Yue Fei Jingzhong Serving the Country" has long been damaged, and I don't know what the plot is, nor do I know the scene, costumes, actors and other information. So, for the rest of his life, he started with Jin Bing's coming north and his mother-in-law's tattooing, and rewrote the script.
The first scene, the first shot, is the scene of the Jin soldiers invading the Central Plains all over the mountains. The Jin soldiers who had just come out of the mountains and forests were actually not rich, although they could burn, kill and loot, but they didn't know how to build at all. Most of the cultural habits followed the Liao State that they conquered. The culture of the Liao State mostly studied from the Song Dynasty......
Therefore, there is not much difference between the clothing of the Jin soldiers and the people of the Song Dynasty. Except for the strange head shape, the others are relatively similar. So, costume and makeup artists, just need to do some work on the shape of the head. Most of the civilians of the Song Dynasty wore short clothes with small sleeves and narrow bodies, and after the invasion of the Jin soldiers, they were full of refugees, but they were quite similar to the clothes of the refugees, and they did not need much preparation, only slightly modified in the details.
Most of the people in this era, especially those at the bottom, still received traditional Confucian education. It is not necessary to have gone to school to know how to read to be educated, most of the education at the bottom of China is passed on by word of mouth, and it is endless.
When all the refugees knew that it was the proposal of the rest of their lives that allowed them to have a few full meals, it was surprising how orderly and efficient the filming scene was!
There was a feeling that flowed through my heart for the rest of my life. He remembered that when the Chinese civilization in later generations was powerless, some people put forward the argument that Chinese did not even have Thanksgiving and would not be grateful.
This is all about releasing a gas made of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide as special components!
In Confucian culture, the first meaning is filial piety! Father and son! And the fundamental meaning of filial piety is gratitude to parents and elders!
On this basis, it is the construction of the skeleton of Chinese civilization!
Therefore, the most difficult thing for the rest of his life is not the organization of a large number of extras, but the adjustment and selection of camera angles.
Ordinary long shots will shoot the French-style architecture and garden features of Gujiazhai Park. will vividly turn a historical drama of the Song Dynasty into an infinite style farce of the golden soldiers crossing France. So, most lenses can only shoot from above.
Only from the top can the scenery of people and buildings be captured in one shot, and the details of why a tree is pruned in the French style need not be taken too seriously......
For the rest of my life, I deeply understood the concept that time is money and time is cost. In three days, all the exterior scenes that required a large number of extras were filmed in the park. Only a few main actors were left behind, and filming continued. And the day after the rest of his life dismissed the extras, someone came to the door. No greetings and no politeness.
More than a dozen strong men surrounded Yu Sheng and other crew members, and there were actually several huge vicious dogs behind them!
Zhu Honggang, the drama manager in the crew, was transferred by Zhang Shankun from the crew of "Mulan in the Army" in order to solve similar things. In Zhang Shankun's eyes, "Yue Fei Jingzhong Serves the Country" has surpassed "Mulan in the Army" and become his biggest golden job.
Zhu Honggang handed a cigarette to the big man led by him, and took out a match from a matchbox printed with a half-naked girl, nodded and struck a bright match, and lit a cigarette for the big man led by him. smiled: "Brother, your surname? On which road did you eat? Boss Zhang of our company is a disciple of Mr. Huang, can my brother give face? β
Mr. Huang mentioned by Zhu Honggang is Huang Jinrong, who is famous in Shanghai and has an excellent relationship with the French patrol house!
Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin are known as the three tycoons of the Shanghai Youth Gang. In terms of qualifications, Huang Jinrong's qualifications are far older than the other two! In terms of the depth of the roots, the network of relationships is huge and complex, and it is much stronger than the other two.
Regardless of the merits and demerits of this person, but in terms of his origin and achievements, he is a legendary figure for future generations!
Huang Jinrong's background is also extremely low, he worked as an apprentice in a framing shop when he was a teenager, set up a fruit stall on the street, and worked as a catcher in the yamen for a few days.
Later, he tried his best to enter the patrol house of the French Concession. After becoming a detective, he became the only Chinese inspector general of the French Patrol House Police Department! And he has been in this position for more than 20 years, and even after his resignation at the age of 60, the French Concession Patrol House Police Force still hired him as a consultant! The discrimination of Westerners against the Chinese since 1840 does not seem to be reflected in him at all!
After becoming the inspector of the French Patrol House Police Department, Huang Jinrong began to recruit disciples. Among them, there are not only ruffians and hooligans of the three religions, nine streams, five elements and eight acts, but also elites, political dignitaries, celebrities, and people in the literary and artistic circles from all walks of life, and even Chiang Kai-shek has also submitted a letter of worship under his door, which reads, "In front of the stage of Old Master Huang, Jiang Zhiqing, a protΓ©gΓ© of the industry."
According to Huang Jinrong's own explanation, when Sun Yat-sen was revolutionizing in Shanghai, he was guarded by his disciples!
By the time of the "August 13" incident, Huang Jinrong had already retired, but his influence was still huge.
When the big man led by Zhu Honggang heard this, he spit out a smoke ring, and pointed at the rest of the crew and said, "It is precisely because we know that Mr. Zhang is a disciple of Huang's predecessors that we are so polite." Otherwise, you guys would have fed the dogs a long time ago! β
Zhu Honggang was about to speak, Yu Sheng sneered, pointed to a few huge vicious dogs behind more than a dozen big men and said, "These dogs you brought are very unique!" This dog has an iron-green coat, a well-proportioned shape, a slightly long torso, and a strong and stout skeleton. And it has a long tail, triangular eyes, dark brown pupils, and exposed teeth that are sharp and unfrayed, and a much taller stature than a soil dog. I'm afraid it's an improved variety, right? β
"Such a dog, among them is at least the bloodline of the wolfdog and the German Shepherd, and it seems that the bloodline of the Mongolian dog! The bloodlines of these dogs are all crossbred from various types of fierce dogs, and these different fierce dogs across the Eurasian continent are definitely intentionally crossed by someone! What's more, these fierce dogs behind you are fierce but not chaotic, they are definitely trained military dogs! And in Asia, except for Japan, all countries are tired and declining, which country will have the leisure to breed military dogs? When you go out with such a well-bred military dog, don't tell me you're here to walk the dog! β
"You guys were sent by the Japanese, right?"
"Yay? Aren't you a movie-making kid? Such a play on dogs? In the last life, it belonged to dogs! The big man at the head of the group stared at each other, obviously looking for the target. Before they were introduced to each other, they already knew the identity of the rest of their lives.
"I'm sorry, in my last life, I was not only a dog, but also had a dog!" Yu Sheng's answer was very calm, it is impossible to understand such a profound thing as this kind of goods that work for the Japanese.
The rest of his life is a rich second generation in later generations, and he naturally raised a few purebred fierce dogs. Naturally, he knows the ins and outs of Wolf Qing. Wolf green is native to China, and later generations only exist in China. But at the time of Japan's invasion of China, this dog was used by the Japanese army.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has learned from Europe and the United States. In the first zero year, Belgium began to systematically use shepherd dogs as military and police dogs. Countries in Europe and the United States have followed suit. Canines have an excellent sense of smell and fighting talent, as well as a natural proximity to humans, which makes military dogs and police dogs repeatedly miraculous. Especially in the First World War.
The Japanese realized the power of excellent dog breeds at the military level, and in 1921, they sent two cadets to Germany to study police dogs. Introduce the descendants of the purebred German Shepherd Hector, protect the native dog breed, and start breeding your own crossbred dog breed - Japanese wolf green!
One of the two trainees is Dong Hanliang, a Chinese studying in Japan, who has the ambition to serve the country although he is in Japan. It's just that after completing his studies, he returned to China, but he was not taken seriously by the authorities.
It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that he used his bench dog bred in a short period of time based on the Chinese pastoral dog to defeat the purebred German herd and the hybrid wolf green dog introduced by Japan. Become the originator of police dog science in China!
It's just that the wolf green dog crossed by the Japanese, in addition to its scary appearance, is actually not as good as the original German shepherd. Many old people who survived the Anti-Japanese War recalled that the Japanese wolf green said that in fact, it was just a new color of the German pastor......
Yes, Yu Sheng saw at a glance the ins and outs of the vicious dogs behind these dozen men.
It's just that on the other hand, the attitude of the Chinese people towards traditional Chinese dog breeds is really chilling. Since the 80s, foreign dog breeds have become popular in China, and the price of a slightly purebred puppy is sky-high. The traditional Chinese excellent dog breeds, such as the excellent branch dog breeds of the Chinese pastoral dog and the purebred Chinese fine dog, were either abandoned on the streets casually, or slaughtered for meat with the opening of dog meat restaurants in various places. So much so that it is on the verge of extinction, which is really heartbreaking.
Therefore, the request made by the strong man at the head was very much in line with the appetite of the rest of his life: "Boy, don't say so much!" Today, a few masters came over with this wolf green, just to teach you a lesson and have a dog race with you! β
"Oh? Since you're going to race the dogs, there's always some betting, right? "Try to be silent for the rest of your life, it's not right to be happy at this time......
"It's very simple, I heard that Boss Zhang's funds for your kid to make a movie are only eight thousand silver oceans! If your kid loses, hand over the eight thousand silver oceans to the master! Don't play your broken songs everywhere, you don't have to make that movie! β
"What if you lose? Do you want to pay me 8,000 silver oceans? Also, in addition to these 8,000 silver oceans, is it allowed to allow others to bet on winning or losing? "The opportunity to make a fortune should not be missed.
"Yes! Against this Japanese wolf, you kid don't want to win! Of course, you kid can't find a professional Gree dog in the dog run! Only find native dogs from China, and my people will follow! Of course, you can bet on the periphery! How much do you kid want to bet? β
"It's very simple, I still have a thousand silver oceans and a gold bar, if I lose, of course, it will all go to a few big brothers to drink tea, if I win, please ask a few people to come up with so much! Moreover, I also have to ask Bastian of the French patrol house to testify as a witness, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke? β
"Yes! I don't believe you kid can win! However, only give the brat an hour of your time. If you can't find a dog when the time comes, please don't come to someone, I'll smash your machines! The big man pointed to the camera and the film with his hand.
Yu Sheng didn't care about the arrogant attitude of the gang of traitors in front of him, he knew that he had won the jackpot this time!

I'm sorry, it's late to update, but writing history is such a thing as a thing that requires too much information, too much time, and too much brain cells...... If a brain cell could be exchanged for a collection, I guess I would be able to collect more than 10,000 today...... For the sake of brain cells, let's give a collection!
