And Zheng Xu met a "good friend" who was engaged in this TV show in the United States a few years ago!
This kind of small organization relies on this gray industry to put some small pieces and make hard-earned money.
Now borrowing their channels to remotely play this Korean special version of "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" on their TV in the United States, and Zheng Xu also specially requested that at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Korean men go to work, and most housewives in South Korea are just doing housework and watching TV.
This kind of thing, he is not at ease when he asks others to do it, and only Lao Qin, who is old and serious, can take on the heavy responsibility!
"Okay, I see, I've been staring at this piece for the past few days, is there anything else?"
Lao Qin squinted, his gaze behind his glasses was a little dangerous, he hadn't done this kind of thing for several years, last time...
Last time, it seems that he personally commanded the small gang in the United States to engage in Robert, the American who dared to reach out and ask for black money, according to Zheng Xu's explanation, right?
The goods went out later and unfortunately had a car accident, paralyzed the lower limbs, and couldn't take care of themselves for the past few years.
...................
May 1, 2015.
It's past four o'clock in the afternoon.
In a not-so-big theater in Beijing, three young people who were very tightly covered walked into this theater.
A thin young man on the left glanced at the poster of the movie "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" and said, "Sister Xi, it's okay to look at this crowd." ”
Chen Xi walked into the screening hall with the two of them, the position of the three of them was in the back, and the attendance rate around them was okay, but it was not full, about five or six percent of it was on the top.
To be honest, May Day is not the best schedule for the movie schedule, it seems to be a holiday, but today is the first day of the holiday, there are many cars outside, and many people would rather rest at home than come out.
Or there are people who go out to travel, but those who can really come out to watch movies, in addition to true love fans, can have an attendance rate of five or six percent, which is also very good!
Chen Xi sat in the middle seat, the three of them sat down, glanced at Chen Sicheng with a mask, and glanced at the vacant seat in front of him, Chen Xi nodded and said: "This attendance rate is okay, after all, it is Director Zheng's first commercial movie..."
Pan Yueming, who was sitting on the far right, crossed his arms and didn't speak sullenly, quietly staring at the screen with the advertisement, listening to Chen Sicheng and Chen Xi discuss.
There were still a few minutes before the start of the feature film, Chen Sicheng thought about what Chen Xi told him a few days ago, and still said in disbelief: "Sister Xi, I really can't figure it out, how did they do it?" In less than a month, the later stage of a movie was made? How? ”
Chen Sicheng was puzzled, this speed has exceeded his cognition, as a rookie director, Chen Sicheng has a foundation, whether it is what he saw and heard when he was an actor before, or the experience accumulated during the filming of "Exploration of Chinatown", it all told him.
Under normal circumstances, the time taken for a movie to do post-production is at least half a year to start.
Most of the producers or crews in the circle spend about half a year to a year in the post-production of the film, which is the normal level of the convention.
In addition, the time required for filming is generally three months to half a year, as well as the time required for the preparatory work for the film project, which means that it generally takes a total of one and a half to two years from the establishment of a film to the completion of production and release in theaters.
That's pretty fast.
Some directors strive for excellence, and there are many people who do it for more than a year in the later stage.
There are even some sci-fi special effects films that can be done in the post-production period of two or three years.
And how long did the post-production of Chen Sicheng's "Exploration of Chinatown" take?
They started post-production after filming all the footage of the film last year, and it has now taken seven or eight months to complete all the post-production of the film "Exploration of Chinatown".
This is still done with the guidance of professionals throughout the process.
Who are the Professionals?
Of course it's Chen Xi!
This female producer who was not well-known when she was an actress, but has gradually become famous since joining Flashy Media.
Last year, Chen Xi took the initiative to find Chen Sicheng, invested in sponsoring his new film, and personally served as the producer of "Chinatown Detective"!
The only condition is for Chen Sicheng to give Pan Yueming a role in the movie!
is such a simple condition, in exchange for a professional producer who has a long reputation in the circle in Chen Sicheng's opinion, it is really worth it for Chen Sicheng!
Chen Xi is a noble person for the current Chen Sicheng!
Relying on Chen Xi alone and one of her assistants, in just one month, Chen Xi helped Chen Sicheng set up a decent crew, whether it was looking for a filming location in Thailand, or all the situations encountered during the local filming, Chen Xi came forward to solve them!
The crew of "Exploration of Chinatown", under the overall coordination of Chen Xi, filmed all the materials in just five months!
In Chen Sicheng's opinion, Chen Xi's professional ability is too strong, and one person can at least top half of the crew.
But this is such an old man, as Chen Xi said in his mouth, she is also an ordinary producer in Flashing Media, at that time she only had shallow contact with these things in the company, with the level of employees in Flashing Media, if Chen Sicheng's current crew is replaced by the team of Flashing Media, the production time can be at least doubled, and the shot material is much higher than the level of their current crew.
In the past, Chen Sicheng was a little skeptical of this statement, thinking that Chen Xi was too modest, but through the post-production time of "Once Upon a Time in South Korea", you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard.
Since the end of last year, at the premiere of Director Jiang's "One Step Away", the host broke out that Zheng Xu was filming a new film project in the Northeast, and the outside world is still very concerned about the progress of Director Zheng's new film, especially this time it is Zheng Xu's first commercial film!
And it was in March at the beginning of this year that they finished filming in the Northeast, and in April, the post-production of the film was already ready!
This speed is too outrageous, and Chen Sicheng listened to the inside story of Chen Xi, after the crew returned to Zhongzhou City, it was not the kind of non-stop start of post-production.
Instead, I rested for a few days first, and then I started working on the later stage of the film when the personnel were rested.
In other words, if you calculate it accurately, the post-production time of this "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" is not even a month!
Even if it's an urban movie, it can't be made so quickly!
For Chen Sicheng, this post-production speed is no longer science fiction, but a bit fantasy!
What kind of staffing does this need to be done so quickly?
The complete script with extremely accurate storyboards, the editors and colorists who know the director's mind very well, the top-notch soundtrack, and even the actors in the movie have to be on standby to dub at any time, plus other bits and pieces, think about each of them, if the connection between any of them goes wrong, it will not take this time to get the post-production done!
And it was under such harsh conditions that it took less than a month for people to make the post-production, which is outrageous!
Such a speed and such a team are beyond his cognition for Chen Sicheng now.
Chen Sicheng, who was still emotional, felt that the surrounding environment suddenly and slowly darkened, and the feature film was about to start!
After a few roll ads were screened, the dragon logo flashed by and the movie began.
A black crow is "soaring" over the sea, and on the bow of a fishing boat below, a middle-aged man with a fire axe stands in his hand.
There was also a bloody stain in the sea next to it, and the bodies of two young men were hugging each other and floating on the sea.
Although the picture is a bit ambiguous, in general, these things can still be seen clearly.
“???”
"Isn't this the end of "Above the Yellow Sea"?"
Chen Sicheng was shocked, this can also be linked?
Or is the story itself an extension of "Above the Yellow Sea"?
He has seen "Above the Yellow Sea", and now, with the beginning of the movie, just this one shot, he has substituted Chen Sicheng into the state of mind when he watched "Above the Yellow Sea" at that time, the country of evil, disgusting, thief, shameless, and sinful.
Seamless!
The crow flew over the fishing boat, all the way north, higher and higher, the distant horizon slowly appeared, and the destination was about to arrive.
The outline of the Korean Peninsula loomed, and several large black and red characters slowly dripped on the screen like thick ink, and finally formed five large characters.
Once Upon a Time in South Korea
!
!
Although the title always feels a little weird, with the top-down view of the terrain of the Korean Peninsula, it doesn't seem very obtrusive now.
Ignoring the speed of post-production, Chen Sicheng began to watch the film with a critical eye.
.......................
The beginning is the plot of the court trial, Bai Ke stands in the defendant's seat, the judge makes the final decision, and the innocent little girl stands in the middle of the aisle, her big eyes are full of tears, and it makes people feel distressed to look at it.
The victim's family members who were attending the hearing rushed to the front desk, but the South Korean judge ignored it and left the scene.
With the weird tone and dialogue, Chen Sicheng understood that this was the criminal who did not get the punishment he deserved, and he was sentenced to ten years after killing seven people.
As soon as the camera turned, it was the little girl's reminiscences, and the policeman's father took a taxi home to celebrate her birthday.
The two killers staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, and Huang Xiaoming's image suddenly appeared in the picture.
!
!
Chen Sicheng's eyes widened, this was the first time he had seen Huang Xiaoming have such a screen image, it was so greasy, and it was even a little ruined.
But with the current greasy version of Huang Xiaoming's image, this killer gives people a weird feeling.
There is no killer image like usual people, dressed in black, with a cold face, armed with a firearm or something.
It's a little rustic dress, a small boning knife, rub it.
Before Chen Sicheng could react, the first deceased appeared less than three minutes before the start of the feature film!
It was so sudden that he didn't have any time to react.
...................
Chen Sicheng, who looked confused, watched the plot slowly progress, growing up slowly from the little girl, to the appearance of Wang Shuangbao, and Chen Yao who followed her, that is, the little girl who grew up.
Look at the actors on the screen, whether it is dressed or the tone of the dialogue, there are some weird actors.
Chen Sicheng slowly came back to his senses, from the beginning of the movie feature film to the present, he has always thought that this is a domestic movie, but seeing now, his mentality has slowly transitioned to the mentality that this is a Korean movie.
Even the language can be understood, giving people the feeling that "I can understand Korean, not that the actors in the film are speaking Chinese." ”
It's a very incongruous, weird, but very natural phenomenon.
Chen Sicheng, who was a little arrogant, was stunned for a long time before he felt the gap between himself and the famous director for the first time.
Through this ingenious arrangement, people can substitute the audience into the story, without the audience forcing themselves to concentrate.
After changing his mentality, Chen Sicheng peeked at Chen Xi and Pan Yueming, who were sitting next to him and watching the movie quietly, and saw that they both focused their attention on the screen with serious faces, and turned their heads to continue watching.
But this time it's different, just now he came to watch the film with a review of the film, and now he has become an ordinary audience to watch it, and he has a little bit of learning mentality.
.......................
As Chen Yao begged her stepfather, then the two talked about it, and then Chen Yao suddenly turned black, and when she turned her head, she suffocated the stepfather played by Bado.
The whole theater was extremely quiet, the sound of drinking drinks was gone, and the sound of eating popcorn was gone.
The sound of bricks hitting flesh echoed in the dim space.
In the picture, Chen Yao's eyes seemed to have crossed the dimension, just staring at all the audiences present in the theater.
The sound of slapping bricks was like smashing on themselves.
Just such a shot that is neither bloody nor disobedient is simply more terrifying than most horror movies in the past!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
From the beginning to the present, the whole story is exciting, but this film gives Chen Sicheng a feeling that he is full of goosebumps.
In the past, some commercial films gave the audience the feeling of pure visual stimulation, but this "Once Upon a Time in South Korea" has been screened until now, but it has given him a deep sensory stimulation, to put it bluntly, he looked at Chen Yao on the screen, and felt a little numb.
Chen Sicheng even felt that when they made this movie, Chen Yao shouldn't have really killed someone, right?
It doesn't feel like acting at all!
After thinking about it again and again, the film is still playing, as Chen Yao got rid of her stepfather, Chen Yao, who thought that her mother's life would be better, saw the scene of her mother's suicide played by Guo Zhenni.
Chen Sicheng looked at the picture, Chen Yao stood in front of her mother's corpse with a helpless expression, surrounded by neighbors pointing fingers and foul language at her.
It's a bit of a pity for the few innocent good people in the film so far.
But as the regret in his heart just emerged, Chen Sicheng was suddenly stunned.
Another layer of goosebumps on the body!
He suddenly thought of a question, if the mother played by Guo Zhenni is really an innocent and good person, then why does Chen Yao have to sit on the roof of the opposite building every time to secretly watch her?
