Chapter 117: Hong Jiabao's character design
Huang Bai was really ruthless this time.
Why did you announce the start of filming in your company so hastily?
That's because Huang Bai asked the company to contact three photo studios, and all of them rejected Huang Bai's Myth Entertainment's application to rent a photo space.
There is a small film and television city on the radio road, and it is also one of the busiest.
There are one or two hundred film and television companies in broadcasting, and there are so many TV stations, and it is normal for those crews to come in and out.
If this film and television city does not have a space to rent to Mythical Entertainment, this can also be forgiven, after all, it is too busy to free up a spare space to shoot movies for Mythical Entertainment.
However, in addition, the two large studios in Baihua City, one new and one old, actually said that there was no place to rent for Mythical Entertainment? Even if you want to book a place, you don't agree.
This has to make Huang Bai suspicious, and this is also the black hand behind the film and television city management to say hello, asking them to make it more difficult for their own film production, so that they can't make movies.
Therefore, Huang Bai was ruthless, and directly announced the start of the movie in the company, and Huang Bai wanted to shoot the whole movie in real time!
The original version of Fuxing, although it is indeed a good movie, is mainly funny.
However, there are many unsatisfactory aspects.
For example, some plots are too dragging, some scenes are too noisy and messy, and the pattern of the whole play is not big enough, especially the fight scenes, there is always a bit of a sense of pettiness.
Of course, this is also related to the times, the era that Cork is going to shoot now is the current era, not the eighties and nineties of the last century. Therefore, not only the script needs to be overvised, but also the background and so on also need to be undergone some major changes.
In fact, the movies in this blue sky star world are indeed all-inclusive, and similar movies have existed for a long time, but they did not develop this type of movie to the peak at the beginning, and did not release the huge potential of this type of movie.
It can be said that if Huang Bai is filmed according to the original script, it is estimated that nine times out of ten he will have to hit the street.
These are also the main reasons why Huang Bai spent so many brain cells to adapt the script.
Movies must adapt to the times.
In particular, the way of behavior to be expressed should be in line with the behavior and thoughts of people in the current era.
In general, Huang Bai wants to make the movie a blockbuster, in addition to retaining many details and funny parts of the movie, he also has to make the audience feel like watching a super blockbuster.
Huang Bai will participate in the whole process of shooting, and deal with all the problems in a timely manner during the filming process.
When the film was announced, it was first filmed in one of the company's larger studios, and a little tidbits were randomly filmed, that is, the scenes of these crew actors amusing each other. These, at the end, can be placed in the end credits after the movie is shown, or there is no problem with ignoring these shoots.
In order to shoot this pioneering work of mythological entertainment, Huang Bai spared no expense.
At present, Huang Bai has not asked Huang Shaojun's financial side to give a budget for shooting.
According to Huang Bai, there is no need for any budget, and the company's financial aspects only need to send people to supervise the expenses required to shoot the film and ensure that the money is spent on the movie. No matter how much it costs, make it a priority to ensure that the filming of the film goes smoothly.
If you don't have money, Huang Bai will copy a few more classic songs.
Today's mythological music is indeed a bit like a cash machine for cork, and the money generated by the paid downloads of those songs now goes directly into the company's financial statistics. As long as you ensure that the income needs to be paid to the government, the rest of the money will be deducted from the operation and maintenance costs of the music platform, the salaries and bonuses of the company's employees, the remuneration of artists and singers, the interest expenses that need to be paid to the bank, and the money to be returned to Longxin Equipment every month. Then the rest of the money is basically the company's and cork's. It can be called by Cork at any time.
After the company finished filming some tidbits, the official shooting session was immediately carried out.
If it is the beginning of the original first Fuxing movie.
It was a catch that began, and then it was Hong Jiabao's snitch performance.
And here, it can't be the same anymore.
Not only does the environment need to be changed, but even the equipment that Hong Jiabao needs has been replaced with the most advanced at the moment.
In fact, there are such pictures in too many movies like the snitch climbing rope, so there is no longer anything surprising.
Therefore, Huang Bai wants to build Hong Jiabao into a high-level thief, a thief with a sense of modern technology.
Also, you can't steal for the sake of stealing.
Cork is set up like this.
Hong Jiabao's character is from an orphanage, and he started to be a pickpocket thief with people in society when he was a child. He looks fat and chubby, a little natural, and even gives people a stupid feeling, but he is a wise and foolish and quite shrewd guy, who has learned to lie a lot, likes to deceive people, and is not willing to eat at all. But later, the old director of the orphanage said to him, "Suffering is a blessing, and being kind to others will lead to blessings."
He thinks it makes sense, so he is also used to his usual dull appearance, he is quite low-key, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, even if he is taken advantage of, he doesn't care too much, which has repeatedly allowed him to avoid some dangers.
With the advent of the Internet age, surveillance is everywhere, so it's hard to get mixed up with petty theft. These thieves and pickpockets are either caught, or they change their careers to do other things to make a living, or they adapt to the times and become real and more professional thieves.
Hong Jiabao has adapted to the times and has become a more professional thief.
These, Huang Bai needs to use the form of fast shots to briefly and quickly introduce Hong Jiabao's character.
The main thing is that some of Hong Jiabao's stealing techniques and skills are superb. However, with the progress of the times, like Hong Jiabao, thieves with amazing stealing skills have been caught.
Then, it is how Hong Jiabao trains himself, how to learn, how to know how to avoid surveillance, and how to steal what he wants to steal without knowing it.
What is stolen here is no longer a little money, but some jewelry and other more valuable things.
Through such rendering, the character played by Hong Jiabao is more plump. At first glance, people feel that this fat man is a character, and there is a feeling of being tall. In this way, when there are funny scenes in the back and in life, it will be more able to form a contrasting funny effect.
The old director of the orphanage is dead, and the orphanage will be demolished, and the children of the orphanage do not know where to go.
The title deed of the orphanage was sold by the vice president who had long wanted to seize it, and he ran away with the money.
There is a lot to say about the above, but there will not be too many real shots, and they can be explained in a short time.
The real movie begins.
At night, in order to keep the orphanage, Hong Jiabao went to the developer to steal the title deed back.
Most of the shots show how Hung Jiabao did his best to blend into the high-rise company where the developer worked, and used some advanced equipment through various personal exciting actions.
Here, Hong Jiabao's close-fitting and tight-fitting thief's night clothes covering his head and face are indispensable.
Of course, close-fitting night clothes, worn on other thieves, especially female thieves, will give people a neat and good-looking feeling, but when worn on the chubby Hong Jiabao, it can make people feel funny and make people laugh.
Then, finally, after a series of tense and exciting, but a little funny actions, he finally succeeded in stealing the title deed of the orphanage from the developer.
However, it was this time that something went wrong.
It turned out that the boss's office, which seemed to be empty, was full of people.
These people are actually looking at the movements of the teapot decorated by Hong Jiabao strangely.
Here, it can be regarded as a joke that Huang Bai came up with, and those people watched the teapot sneaking around and stealing the documents. But no one made a sound, hiding in the dark and snickering.
It turned out that this night was the birthday of the boss of the real estate developer, and his woman asked the boss to come to the company in order to surprise the boss, and then asked the people of the company to hide and wait for the boss's arrival.
But the shape of the teapot is really similar to their boss. Therefore, those people who saw it secretly thought that the teapot was their boss. This design can add a lot of laughter.
Just when the teapot got the title deed of the orphanage, the lights came on, and the woman jumped out and called "Hong Jiabao", and then hugged the teapot to wish a happy birthday and offered a kiss.
The coincidental homonym name made Hong Jiabao stunned.
Then he actually responded enthusiastically and took advantage of it (here, Huang Bai simply asked Hong Jiabao's girlfriend to star).
But in the end, Hung Jiabao was still found to be not the developer boss.
Here are some of the fighting actions of Hong Jiabao after being discovered by the security personnel of the building, and then there is the thrilling and handsome action of jumping from a high-rise building and landing on a high-altitude rope line.
Huang Bai thinks that this is better than escaping with a steel rope.
However, following the camera, the originally handsome escape action happened to fall on a police car parked downstairs and was caught.
Huang Bai needed to shoot in real life, so he simply found a high-rise building and rented an office from one of the companies to shoot these shots.
And found a stunt company and asked them to design this high-altitude rappelling action.
With many safety measures, Hung Jiabao decided not to use a stand-in, and he personally completed this high-altitude rappelling shot.
In order to better shoot the best effect, Huang Bai used a stealth camera to film the entire high-altitude rappelling process, and when necessary, some shots could be edited and cut into the movie.
Such a beginning really has a sense of déjà vu of a blockbuster, which can give the audience a visual impact.
It was at the beginning of this movie that Huang Bai let the filming take three days to shoot.
Huang Bai is not the director, but he is the one who directs the filming of the entire film.
For the cinematography and every actor, Huang Bai requires the best shot.
For this reason, I am not afraid to repeat the shot.
If you don't lift it once, then twice, three, ten times! And even more.
The reason why Zhou Xingxing's movies never get tired of watching is because of the strict requirements when shooting.
There are scripts and jokes, but in the end, the actors need to act well and express what should be expressed.
