The newcomer directors who follow He Fang find it very interesting, because some of the problems they can't see clearly can always stand at a height to help them analyze the problem, the difference between disadvantages and advantages.

It is very meaningful to analyze these problems of Hong Kong films.

Zhang Mo, as a newcomer to He Fang's side, she thinks it is really interesting to listen to He Fang talk about these things, and following her father, it will always be how to place the camera, how to compose, how to express the color, how to play the lighting, how to pay the props, how to act, how to shape the character, and how to express the theme......

What is different, for many problems is a layer of view, first from the overall analysis of the problem, how to do, and then point out the pros and cons in detail, what he wants, or what the optimal solution is.

Simple, direct, clear and effective, he won't care about what he shouldn't do, like some phenomena of the production team on the set, in other groups the director will point fingers, but he won't care, people can do what they like, as long as it doesn't affect everyone's shooting, this is everyone's style is different.

This kind of communication is really much more meaningful than the exchange of some directors sitting together chatting and bragging, and it is really only after filming one or several scenes with other directors that you will learn something, otherwise you will only learn an external form.

On April 5th, Wang Jing was going back to Hong Kong, and he finished the script and the director's script here, in order to conform to the process of Tuanhuo culture and learn where to shoot the film.

In fact, directors all look down on other directors, and they all feel that they are the best in the world. However, that mainly refers to directors who are not very famous, like Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou, who have any fame, but they are willing to try new things, for fear that they will be old and outdated, so they study hard like a student.

A production team of Tuanhuo Culture also had to follow, and they officially went to Hong Kong to prepare for filming.

Before leaving, he still has an explanation for them.

"Director Wang, this time our production team must have followed our production process in the past, but I know that in our way, the interests of some of you will definitely be touched in Hong Kong, for example, if someone wants to quote 15,000 for a straw hat, then it is possible that our team has decided that there is only a few dollars, and there will be conflicts."

"Therefore, I hope that Director Wang will firstly assist our team to deal with these things, and secondly, to ensure the arrangement of our team members, I understand that some crew members in Hong Kong have a relationship with gangsters, and they are intimidated at every turn, but don't scare the people of our production team."

"Director Wang, this movie is related to the success or failure of our cooperation with Hong Kong, it may not be your own people who are willing to sabotage, nor is it the team you have been cooperating with who wants to sabotage, I am afraid that some people who do not want to see our cooperation succeed will do sabotage."

As for what he said, Wang Jing is not a fool.

"Director He, don't worry, I, Wang Jing, dare not say that I am one of the most important figures in the Hong Kong film and television industry, but it is not so easy to handle, so that I can't even protect the safety of a few producers." Wang Jing assured.

"That's good, I look forward to your success."

"Don't worry, I've been studying here for almost a month, and I've generally understood it, and I'm sure I'll make a movie that satisfies everyone."

"Okay, take care, goodbye, I'll call you when you're available."

……

After sending Wang Jing away, the filming of "The Origin of the White Snake" is about to come to an end, and Zhang Yimou's father and daughter are really real, so they followed the study to the end.

This is really a bit of Zhang Yimou's character, many things must be figured out, and then acted. Including Zhang Yimou's next movie, he doesn't know what to shoot now, so he simply doesn't want to thoroughly understand the latest shooting methods at the moment, and understand how the youngest and most popular director creates.

At this time, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo also got the script and director's script of "Violent Block", and Zhang Mo was very excited to see this script and director's script.

"Wow, that's cool, can you shoot this?" Zhang Mo was a little incredulous.

Zhang Yimou also smiled bitterly, the content of the script is too exciting, and this kind of movie script can make people's adrenaline soar when they see it.

What is "Violent Neighborhood" about? Who fine-tuned this.

He Fang wrote these tags at the front of the script:

Parkour, the action is fast, clean, the rhythm is tight, the gunfight is less hand-to-hand, the emphasis is on hormones, and the dirty deals of the big forces are exposed.

And the synopsis of the story goes like this:

It was revealed that two interest groups in the United States were fighting for the drug business, and the drugs that Wu Jing wanted to recover were the goods of the C letter organization, he was an agent of the C letter, and the force behind the big drug lord Trime Main was a certain political party (implying a certain party of the people).

Wu Jing worked undercover in Detroit's 'Red Brick Special Zone', a crime city in the United States, which is the most inferior neighborhood in Detroit where unemployed workers are driven by the police to live in the dark. In addition, the city's police have also arrested some minor offenders and sent them to the 'Red Brick Special Zone' in order to save trouble.

So in the "Red Brick Special Zone", the brutal and ruthless drug lord Terry Maker has become the core of evil, and he has done all kinds of illegal and criminal activities here.

Wu Jing didn't come in to arrest Trymaine, but to find the lost drug and retrieve it. But Terry Main's repeated acts of violence made Wu Jing want to kill him, but he was forced to give up the task.

On the other hand, Lino, who lives in the forbidden area but hopes to come out and live a new life, is anxious because his girlfriend Lola has been kidnapped by Terry Main.

As a result, Wu Heng and Lino, who have common enemies but come from different worlds and different backgrounds, finally decide to join forces to deal with the evil Trimaine......

When Wu Jing finds the lost drugs, Lino tells him about a startling situation. Someone is going to legalize drugs in the near future, because this sneaky profit will no longer satisfy them.

……

"Oh, Hefang's script is always ...... I think some film critics will probably scold him to death after watching this movie, and they will chop him into meat sauce. Zhang Mo said with a smile.

Zhang Yimou was thinking about something else, and when he heard Zhang Mo's words, he asked rhetorically: "Then will what he said be true in the United States?" ”

"Of course it's true, the reality is even more cruel than this, the Detroit gangs are nothing, and the New York gangs are called murderous." Zhang Mo said it casually.

"Then his shooting is basically a fact......" After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"Almost, hey, his storyboard is really like reading a comic...... level"

……

Zhang Yimou's father and daughter are studying "Violent Block", but He Fang is making up for the lack of these days, and they are busy at night, turning the axis continuously, one time Fan Bingbing, one moment Pan Zhilin, and one moment Yanran.

It's really going to be enjoyable, who called him popular?

On April 15th, "The Origin of the White Snake" was officially completed, and the biggest difficulty in this movie is CG, let's say it's difficult, except for CG, it's really not difficult.

The main reason why it took more than two months is that the connection between CG and real shooting needs to be difficult, and it will be constantly adjusted, which is time-consuming.

There is also performance, many of which are non-physical and require the imagination of the actors.

Especially the dog next to Xu Xuan, there was no dog at all during the shooting, but a toy wrapped in green cloth, and then led by a person to feel that it would walk and jump.

Including the two little monster dwarves in the fox Baoqing Fang, they are also made of two toys, which requires Pan Zhilin to keep catching the performance.

And, of course, how do you make the lighting on the spot look the same as the light in the CG animation? After all, some light has to be hit on people's faces, and the light on people's faces can't match the light in CG, right?

There are many such details in the matter, which is not easier and more troublesome than live shooting.

Fortunately, everyone has experience in filming, so it only took more than two months to get it done, and it is possible to change to a new inexperienced crew for another two months.

When the movie was finished, everyone seemed to be relieved and as if their lives had ended again, with an inexplicable sense of complexity.

At the finale banquet that night, everyone could finally let go of eating and drinking, and of course, everyone had to go their own way. But the strange thing is that these people don't have too many parting emotions now, probably because everyone's crew is mixing more and more times, and He Fang is also using these people more and more easily, so the team is relatively fixed.

So they weren't in a hurry at all, because maybe they would get together again next time they would make a movie.

At the end of the banquet, everyone should go, if you want to rest, you should go to rest, and you should pack your luggage.

Only a few people who were not in a hurry were still eating and drinking.

Like where is he not in a hurry, his home is in Changsha, what is the difference between him going back early and going back later?

Also, Zhang Yimou is not in a hurry, he has no new film plan, why is he in a hurry, isn't this drinking and bragging with anyone.

"Director He, I asked you a very sensitive topic. Why are Americans not afraid of people making these black movies of theirs, but we should be afraid of some movies that are not good for us? ”

He Fang was stunned for a moment, this question is indeed sensitive, he thought for a while, and took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Director Zhang, let's talk about this question, let me say so. With so many films showing its social problems every year, will the audience find America dark? So if we show some problematic movies, do you think we are dark? ”

If you say that the United States is not dark, then why are movies and even news breaking the news? It shows that it is really dark.

But the strange thing is that when the audience sees these movies, they will feel that this is the enlightenment of the United States, and the courage to expose itself shows that it is very confident and has the ability to correct mistakes. Therefore, there is no need for the official to say anything about them, and the audience has helped them whitewash.

We just don't show dark movies, some people think we are dark, and if we let such movies come out, it will make people feel that it is even darker here.

Zhang Yimou thought for a moment, then slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

But for the same problem, others think that Americans make movies and say that this phenomenon is fine, but they think that it is a sign of American self-confidence. And in our case, that is a big thing, that is, the whole system, the whole culture, the whole race has a big problem, we have to kneel and learn from the United States, begging them to save us. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that the same thing is treated in two countries and are treated in diametrically opposite directions? What is this original sin? The original sin is that we are not strong enough. Not being strong is sin, and in a word, 'if you fall behind, you will be beaten'. ”

As soon as He Fang said this, everyone present suddenly realized that it was such a truth, everyone used to think that we were too strict, and now He Fang explained that this is indeed not to be underestimated.

"So when do you think we'll be like the United States?"

"Of course, we have more than a dozen aircraft carriers cruising on the sea all year round, the world's most advanced fighter aircraft are developed by us, our movies and culture have become global pursuits, and our economy is the first in the world. At that time, we are just farting people, and foreigners think that this fart is really fragrant, because it is released by Chinese, it must be high-end. ”

"Haha......" Everyone laughed at the scene, Zhang Yimou also laughed, and he also figured out some joints.
