Causeway Bay, the filming location of "Young and Dangerous".

Hou Qianqian put his big butt face on his face and touched the Panavision camera with a 35mm French "Ai Zhanneng" lens in his hand emotionally, his face full of envy.

This kind of envy made Liu Weihao on the side stare at him nervously, fearing that Hou Xiaoran would touch him randomly with his round, short-fingered hands!

He feels bad!

A Panavision camera, excluding the lens, costs about HKD 1.7-3 million. However, under normal circumstances, this company only rents it and does not sell it. The rental fee is not cheap, about HKD 50,000-80,000 per week.

Even if the shooting cycle is fast, it will still take about two weeks. In other words, this movie only counts equipment costs, which will cost between 100,000 and 150,000.

Ai Zhanneng's lens costs 16,000 Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not as exaggerated as the 160,000 Hong Kong dollars for the lens of Hollywood's "Terminator", it is enough.

A camera that costs 3,000 to rent is not the same as a camera that costs 50,000 to rent.

The picture quality of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" has some problems in terms of resolution, sharpness and distortion. Wu Xiaozu cannot change this.

That's why Wu Xiaozu chose to make a movie with "Lin Guoyun" Liang Gaohui as the main focus.

Cheap machines and lenses have smaller ‘image fields’ and ‘image circles’.

There are many dark corners at the edges of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", which is naturally a shortcoming in the film.

Vignetting is a slight black circle, but Wu Xiaozu cleverly used this black circle at the beginning, which actually increased the atmosphere of the mirror image.

In visual habits, when the surroundings are darkened, the visual center of the human eye will naturally stay in the center, which is Liang Gaohui.

Therefore, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" has many close-ups and a solemn atmosphere. This is why Wu Xiaozu turned his shortcomings into advantages. Focusing all the audience's attention on Liang Gaohui can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Leung Gai-fai showed great acting skills, which is not only due to his own strength, but also to Wu Xiaozu's contribution. Everyone in the industry can see this. Therefore, this drama has attracted the attention of many people in the industry, and they have come to think of his "One Word"

The Birth of the Head".

Director Wu, apart from his intrigues, is serious about making movies!

In terms of movie lenses, as the saying goes, romance should be the lens of law, drama should be the lens of English, and teacher Edison should be the lens of morality! This is a knowledge point.

What they have in common is high resolution.

This is equally important for the big screen and female stars. The difference between Li Zongx and Teacher Chen is not only the technology, but also the lens...

In later generations, many people felt that if Wu Datou had cut off Tsui Hark a few more pounds and chosen to use a magic mirror to shoot "A Better Tomorrow", the effect would have been better.

Then Wu Datou listened and made a movie called "Red Cliff". Everyone thought that he used violent aesthetics to interpret "Red Cliff", showing a romantic epic feeling that is not inferior to Zhang Cai.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the only impression this movie left on everyone was the arrogance of "Come on! Come on! Come on!"...

Later, IMAX technology began to be used to shoot "The Wheel", and the post-production company also spent huge sums of money to select the post-production special effects production team of "Titanic" and "Avatar".

He wanted to be the Cameron of the Chinese-speaking world, but accidentally became Anthony...

Don't think that you can make movies after you are reborn. If you are so capable, why would you use your mobile phone to make a movie based on "A Better Tomorrow"? Wu Yusen was also scolded for filming "The Manhunt"...

Story is important, technology is equally important!

For example, Wang Zulan has a first-class figure and appearance, but the two AOE damage skills of Qianhuan Tongue Technique and Rabbit Tooth Scratching are the root cause of Director Wu's surrender every time.

Rebirth is nothing special! The most important thing is that your brain is not on the ground first.

So if you look at generally low-budget movies, they can especially showcase the acting skills of the actors.

Because of the low cost, the picture quality is poor, the resolution of the edges of the picture drops very quickly, and the surrounding pixels are squashed. If the director does not focus on the actors, he will really be waiting for a hit...

This is why comedies and horror films are so popular among low-budget films.

"Young and Dangerous" cannot be a low-budget film.

The biggest limitation of filming in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai is that apart from the large flow of people making it difficult to shoot and the simultaneous sound being difficult to receive, the most important thing is that the light is complex and unstable. At this time, I used equipment rented for 3,000 Hong Kong dollars to shoot, and I took jujube pills.

Wu Xiaozu is very picky, but he is very serious about making movies.

He recognizes himself!

Knowing what is the capital of being able to chat and laugh with Xiang Sheng.

Apart from being handsome, of course you can make money by making movies!

…

“Romanticizing heroes?”

Liu Wei and Qiu Litao looked at Wu Xiaozu with frowns, not understanding the meaning of what he said.

The romanticization of gangster movies has just started to appear in Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow". The bridge scene in "The Birth of a Prefix" is considered a master of the use of violent aesthetics. But the whole movie can be said to be dramatic, but the characters are absolutely

No romanticizing of heroes!

In later generations, the films produced by two Hong Kong directors were extremely romanticized. The one who shot modern dramas was To Qifeng, and the one who shot costume dramas was named Tsui Hark.

"That's right!"

Wu Xiaozu took the storyboard and explained, ""Young and Dangerous" itself describes brotherhood and passionate youth. Whether it is Chen Haonan or Pheasant, they are both romanticized heroes..."

"The romanticization of the movie mirror can better highlight this kind of personal heroism that is different from the retreat style." Hou Xiaoran interjected lightly from the side.

Huh?

Qiu Litao and Liu Weiwei looked at each other in confusion, feeling that they had underestimated this bumpkin from Wanwan! Hou Xiaoran is now a little famous in the film festival, but in the commercial film circle of Hong Kong Island, it doesn't work very well...

Around 2000, Xiaogangpao, the only commercial director in the Mainland who was selling money, was not looked down upon by Hong Kong's top 18 directors, let alone Hou Hsiao-yang in 1986?

I forgot to mention that there was a director in later generations of Chinese-speaking circles who extremely poeticized and romanticized his works. That person was named Hou Qian...Hou Xiaoran!

Wu Xiaozu would not be so extreme, nor would he choose to use a damn long lens for the sake of romanticization.

The reason why he romanticizes it is to "make stars"!

This romantic movie style full of brotherhood and passionate youth is very suitable for bringing out stars. Yes, stars!

Wu Xiaozu's customs were both vulgar and elegant. The customs should also be as elegant as the vulgar ones! For example, brushing teeth with Lao Wang. How many girls are willing to swallow toothpaste?

Lao Wang got used to it under Wu Xiaozu's elegant comfort... This is the elegance of Yamaidi!

…

shooting scene.

Roy Jian——

After Luo Dong made two movies, he also had some thoughts about his identity as a movie actor. After taking on the starring role this time, he also made up his mind to enter the entertainment industry.

However, the name Luo Dong was somewhat "notorious" in Causeway Bay, so Wu Xiaozu gave him a stage name: Roy Kin.

Liu Furong, Fang Shilong (Chen Gangsheng), Zhang Fazhong... At this time, it was popular to change names in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"Brother Zu...where did Roy Jian's name come from?" Sister Shao asked in confusion.

"As the saying goes, with the power of Yi, he can walk and fly! It means that when A Dong understands himself, it is very easy to do things, and he can get better and better in the entertainment industry!" Wu Xiaozu explained with a secretive smile.

Sister Shao was stunned and looked satisfied.

Therefore, it is logical that Brother Dong instantly transformed into Roy Jian.
Chapter completed!
