CHAPTER XXXI
Together with the shooting calculation, it was only three days before and after, and the total 34-minute film was cut by the editor Wang Kun found, and after the 34-minute picture was cut, there were only seven minutes left, and 27 minutes of the picture was subtracted, and when Wang Kun came back with the edited short film and said that it was only seven minutes long, Chen Dong almost carried the prop short knife to kill the editor:
"Hit the street! I fought with Ah Jun for 34 minutes, and I cut out 10 minutes? I knew that I would only play for 7 minutes, saving time and effort! The 34-minute scene took four hours to finish filming!"
Huo Dongjun is not as excited as Chen Dong, he has been working with Wang Kun for a while, and he already knows the process of the movie, basically a movie is shot for a few hundred minutes, and the final editing is ninety minutes, not to mention that the so-called hundreds of minutes is not a camera, but the sum of several camera films, the picture of Huo Dongjun and Chen Dong fighting, Huo Dongjun himself only designed a total of fifteen minutes, where can Chen Dong's mouth fight for thirty-four minutes.
Wang Kun sat in the box of Liu Kee Restaurant and said to Huo Dongjun: "I have already called Xiao Xiangsheng, but he knows that the film has been dealt with, and he asked me to send it to Yuen Long." ”
"Is there a movie theater in Yuen Long?" asked Chen Dong.
"There are small screening rooms in the villa, and that's the difference between the rich and the poor, the poor line up to go to the theater, and the rich people can watch movies at home. Wang Kun said.
......
Xiang Watson sat in the basement screening room of the villa, looking at the picture on the big screen, it was just a piece of film, the company logo, the introduction of the actors, and so on, and even the sound was not processed.
The opening scene is Huo Dongjun appearing at the mouth of the alley with a travel bag, the camera moves with Huo Dongjun's footsteps, turning from the front to the back, at the end of the alley, Chen Dong holds the knife flower and stands in place.
Huo Dongjun threw away his travel bag, took out his baton and threw it away, Chen Dong on the opposite side threw off the scabbard, and the blade shone and rushed towards Huo Dongjun.
In the blink of an eye, the two hit each other.
is different from the previous kung fu films, when the two fight, the opening dialogue, cut into the close-up, and then use traditional kung fu, zama, punch, and block to fight, the whole film shows that the two of them don't say a word, the action is sharp and tough, and the moment they fight, people feel the hardness that comes to their faces, and people tense their nerves from the beginning of the fight.
And the choice of weapons in the hands of the two is also ingenious, ASP telescopic batons and sheathed short knives, the confrontation of modern fighting weapons and traditional blades, a large number of modern fighting actions have been added to the actions of the two, and there is a little bit of traditional martial arts between the hands and feet.
From the first second of Huo Dongjun and Chen Dong fighting on the big screen, Xiang Watson involuntarily sat up straight.
Seven minutes flashed by, when Huo Dongjun countered Chen Dong's short knife, disemboweled Chen Dong, picked up his travel bag and the short knife, and disappeared into the alley.
Chen Dong took a breath and whispered to Huo Dongjun, "Hey, how beautiful did we fight at that time?" ”
"The credit of the cinematographer, plus the editor's post-editing of the footage, is why the picture is beautiful now. Huo Dongjun said to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong rubbed his chin and said: "The most important thing is that we are beautiful enough, otherwise it will be like a piece of stool, and no matter how good the photographer is, he will not be able to shoot it." ”
Huo Dongjun was speechless by Chen Dong's words, and the symptoms of this guy's arrogance and blowing water tended to worsen.
Xiang Huasheng exhaled heavily, and said to Wang Kun beside him: "The fight is so exciting, it makes people breathless, until the end, I don't know if the side will live." ”
The maid next to him turned on the light in the screening room, which was a sand seat, and Xiang Watson did not leave, but sat directly in the screening room to talk to Wang Kun.
"This fight scene is the ** of this play?"
"No, ** is a play between Ma Jun and Wang Bao. Wang Kun said to Xiang Watson.
"This kind of life-fighting scene is completely different from Jackie Chan's life-fighting scene, 100,000 yuan, you can shoot a seven-minute fight scene that people can't help but applaud, and then 1 million can shoot for 70 minutes?" Xiang Watson picked up a cigar from the low table in front of him and handed it to Wang Kun jokingly.
"I'll take the money out, if the funds are in place, when will this drama be filmed and released?"
Wang Kun respectfully took the cigar and thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "The fastest time to finish filming in a month, Zhong has to start work day and night, counting the later stage, it will take nearly a month and a half." ”
Xiang Watson turned his head to look at Huo Dongjun and Chen Dong behind him: "Come over and sit in the front row, eat cigars, and play beautifully enough, but the expression is not rich enough and the acting skills are poor, but the fighting actions make up for this problem." ”
Huo Dongjun sat beside Wang Kun and said: "We are just doing martial arts and designing movements, this time we are just taking pictures of Xiang Sheng." ”
"Three million. Xiang Watson lit a cigar and said, "Three million to start this play, Ah Kun, what do you think?"
Three million is a lot for Wang Kun, a martial artist who has only been an action director before, after all, it is the first time to direct, and it already makes him excited to have someone pay for it: "Thank you Xiangsheng, thank you Xiangsheng." ”
"You have the strength, this film is so beautiful, take it outside to find investment, I think there will be people willing to invest. Xiang Watson said: "Go to my company tomorrow to get a check, shoot quickly, you can rush to release it before the Mid-Autumn Festival in the later part of the summer file." ”
"Don't disturb you to rest, let's say goodbye first. Seeing Xiang Watson leaning back on the sand, Wang Kun and Huo Dongjun and Chen Dong got up to say goodbye.
Waiting for Wang Kun and the others to leave, Xiang Watson said out loud: "Sister Xian, help me put the flowers just now again." ”
......
After leaving the Yuen Long villa, the three of them got into the car, and Wang Kun beat his fist excitedly: "Three million!"
Huo Dongjun said beside him: "With these three million, if you earn tens of millions of dollars for Yongsheng, you can sit firmly in the position of director." ”
Wang Kun grinned and said, "You must be able to pass." ”
This problem is not Wang Kun's blowing water, even if the Hong Kong box office only collects three or four million, plus Yongsheng's income from selling overseas, it can also break 10 million, think about General Pictures' bad films that cost one or two million to sell overseas bluffs, and one can make millions to know, this is an era when Hong Kong movies are not worried about selling, in the early eighties, Golden Harvest's Cheng Long's "Cannonball Speed" put aside the cost, and the myth of a net income of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars stimulated all film companies to sell movies overseas.
"After seeing Xiang Sheng tomorrow, first, apply for the approval of the procedures of the Public Relations Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force as soon as possible, second, call those brothers in your martial arts hall to come and help start work, each with a salary of 200 yuan a day, and other money is counted separately, third, you continue to draw those stickmen to design actions, and fourth, I will find a way to find someone to stagger the schedule to start work. Wang Kun said excitedly his thoughts: "Strive to officially start shooting after a week of preparation, shoot in three weeks, and complete the post-production in a week!"
"I think the most important thing is that you can get the camera assistant named Qiang Zai first, and let him help you do the camera, this short film is eye-catching enough. Huo Dongjun said next to him.
Wang Kun moved the car and returned to Hong Kong Island the same way, exchanging actor questions with Huo Dongjun while driving, Chen Dong lay on the back seat and fell asleep, not caring at all, anyway, no matter what other corners. Hue. It's the side, Ajie's candidate is him, beautiful enough, enough to fight, and most importantly, he is Wang Kun's person.
"I think Chen Guozhong can let Dillon play him, he has started very little recently, but he has acting skills, at least he has been popular. Wang Kun said to Huo Dongjun.
"Wang Bao can let Zeng Jiang act, and action scenes can be arranged with stand-ins to fight, I have talked about it before. Huo Dongjun said.
"The most important one, Ma Jun. Wang Kun took a breath and said: "I've thought about Gao Fei, Liang Jiaren, and Lu Feng, but now that I've watched your fights, I feel that the fighting scenes that these people filmed before are really ugly, and it's exaggerated to be the protagonist." ”
"Liu Jiahui. Huo Dongjun suddenly thought of a name.
Liu Jiahui is Liu Jialiang's star who Liu Jiaban once praised before, when there was a sentence in the martial arts that Liu Jiaban was a man watching Liu Jiahui, and a woman watching Hui Yinghong, before the Shaw Brothers cut production in 85 years, Liu Jiahui was a star who was not far behind Hong Jiabao at this time, "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms", "Shaolin Shed Master", "Martial Arts Hall" and other Liu Jialiang's blockbuster movies The male number one who can't be beaten, but because of the decline of traditional kung fu films, Liu Jialiang is too paranoid and stubborn and does not seek change, with the Shaw Brothers production reduction and shutdown, Liu Jiahui gradually disappeared from the screen.
"Hey, isn't it too cheap for them? I praised the stars of other teams in the first play of my own team?" Wang Kun shook his head and refused.
"Isn't it good for Ah Jun to pretend to be Ma Jun?" Chen Dong straightened up in the back seat and stretched.
"Ah Jun is qualified to play Ma Jun, have you ever seen an inspector under the age of twenty?" Wang Kun shouted, and suddenly he was stunned for a moment: "It's better to be like this, Chen Dong plays Ma Jun, Ah Jun, you play Ah Jie, Chen Dong is in his twenties, it should be okay to be older." ”
"I don't know how to act. Huo Dongjun was not optimistic about Wang Kun's suggestion.
"I haven't studied directing, and now it's not the same way to start a play? Everyone has their first time, so I decided to try the next play, I don't know how many artists in Xiangsheng's film company have signed a contract, do you consider leaving a place for them?"
"Zhang Meng, you put Wang Bao's little wife in that corner. Hue. It's good to leave it to her, anyway, there are few scenes, just show one. Huo Dongjun remembered that "Magic Jade" was filmed by Xiang Watson to praise Zhang Meng, and said loudly.
"I've been to Xiangsheng Company tomorrow, I'll go to the crew to start work, you two help me do my best to do my best, Zhong You, the actors I'm looking for are in place and remember to teach them some movements, not all the action scenes are stand-ins, the picture will be ugly. Wang Kun advised: "That's right, that guy Meng Hai, I don't know if I'm interested in making a cameo recently." Hue. , that guy is enough to fight, it's better to pretend to be the clown who killed the undercover agent in the play and call to harass him. ”
While speaking, Wang Kun grabbed the phone and dialed the number of Meng Hai of the Hong family: "Hey, Xiaohai, I'm Ah Kun, tell you to get up for supper? ”
Meng Hai, who was working on the work, hung up the phone and motioned for his martial artists to continue to work, and a martial artist asked beside him, "Brother Hai, what's the side?"
"Wang Kun, that guy actually directed the tube as a director, and asked me to make a cameo role in the past. "Lust ......" Meng Hai said indifferently, he didn't know how many of this kind of cameos a year.
But the eyes of a martial artist next to him lit up, Wang Kun from Cheng's class actually became a director?
