"Brother Zu, it costs 3,000 yuan a day to borrow a broken machine. Is this an exaggeration?"

When Feicheng thought of the camera he rented this morning, he felt a lot of pain in his heart. He couldn't help complaining, "These rental companies are just robbing money. A broken machine is worth more than a group of supporting actors. It costs 3,000 Hong Kong dollars! You can whip it on Bolan Street."

It’s a street! Look at Jade Terrace talking about human rights every day, but in the end people are inferior to machines! Do the justices of the peace not care?"

"Justice of the Peace? Can you go to the morgue and take care of you?" Luo Dong sneered.

"Wow, I have nothing to say if you say this." Feicheng said exaggeratedly.

"3,000 yuan is not expensive. If you don't know anyone, you can't even get it for 5,000 yuan. What really costs money is the film." Qiu Litao fiddled with the camera in front of him skillfully without raising his head. Liu Weiqiang nodded and bent down to hook the camera.

The base and skillful techniques. Liu Weiqiang did a lot of work in renting the camera this time.

"How?" Wu Xiaozu came over and looked at the machine in front of him.

"Media Asia's equipment is pretty good. It's a bit old, but it doesn't affect the shooting," Qiu Litao said.

Liu Wei straightened up and gave a thumbs up, confidently saying: "Don't worry, Brother Zu. It's no problem."

Media Asia is not only a distribution company, but also one of the top equipment rental companies in Hong Kong. Although it has not entered the production field in the past two years, it has also begun to penetrate into the investment and production field. It is expected that as movies become more and more popular, it will also end

Circle money.

"Okay. Pack up and get ready to worship the gods." Wu Xiaozu nodded, very satisfied with his assistant director and cameraman.

Needless to say, cameraman Liu Weiqiang is famous in later generations. One "Infernal Affairs" is enough for him to boast for a lifetime. Not to mention the director's level, in terms of camerawork, he is one of the top cameramen in Hong Kong Island.

Qiu Litao is one of the few filmmakers with a professional background. His camera skills are also very good. But sadly, none of the films he has shot have been nominated for the Academy Awards, and he has never been able to escape the fate of being an evil director.

Not many people in later generations know him, but he is famous for the several cult films and genre films he directed.

"Ebola Virus", "Human Barbecued Pork Buns at the Eight Immortals Hotel", "Taxi Judge". They can be called representatives of Hong Kong's CULT movies.

I believe that many people will stop eating barbecued pork buns after watching "Eight Immortals Hotel".

Including subsequent social and realistic films such as "Waiting for Tung Chee-hwa's Downfall" and "The Young Prostitute", they are also of a very high standard.

Not commercial, not mainstream. Wandering on the fringes of mainstream movies in Hong Kong, this is Qiu Litao, a group of low-cost movies.

…

Not far away, a simple wooden table was placed in the middle of the venue, and the second master Guan stood majestically on the altar with a knife. Small suckling pigs, roast goose, roast duck, melons, fruits, pears, and peaches were placed in front of the second master. The camera was now

He also pushed it over and covered it with red cloth.

Turn on the phone and worship God!

The opening ceremony was originally introduced in Liyuanxing.

It is said that Li Longji, the emperor of Tang Ming Dynasty, was not only good at playing drums, but also knew how to sing with colorful faces. He often invited people to sing operas in the opera garden in the palace. Therefore, the opera industry used his celebrity effect and respected him as the ancestor. Therefore, the opera theater was opened.

We must pay homage to this ancestor every day.

I don’t know when the Hong Kong film industry has also become popular with this ritual of worship. However, filmmakers are not that high-ranking and have dedicated ancestors.

Therefore, the popular idol Guan Erye was chosen to worship. Who let Guan Erye have such broad control? Not only in charge of making money, but also in charge of killing and killing!

The business people in Hong Kong worship him! The gangsters also worship him! The policemen also worship him. I really don’t know which side Mr. Guan should help.

There are several untrue rumors circulating in the film industry about not worshiping gods and supernatural events. For the sake of good luck, Wu Xiaozu cannot avoid the custom.

In later generations, this set of things was also introduced to the mainland as Hong Kong filmmakers went north, and it became popular among countless film crews. It seemed to be a way to prove that this industry has a long history and pays attention to tradition!

In fact, none of the crew imitated Mr. Guan's example of keeping both loyalty and righteousness, and not infringing on his sisters-in-law. Everyone from the director to the on-set staff wished that the sisters-in-law would not seduce them, but would carry the knife to the kang themselves.

The dirtiest place in the world is the entertainment industry.

Burning cannons, twisting incense, offering sacrifices, and worshiping gods, more than a dozen people slowly rolled incense and inserted handfuls of incense into the incense burner in front of Mr. Guan. These things were not handled by Wu Xiaozu, who served as the deputy director of the film.

- Uncle Li, the command is completed.

An "old man" who worked as a handyman on the set and made tea all the way. He knew these processes very well. Wu Xiaozu was very lucky that he found such an experienced veteran in the industry to help through Li Zhaoji's relationship.

The entire crew, not including the actors and working staff, only has a dozen people in total. It is a standard grass-stage crew, and it is considered a compliment to call it a motley crew in the film industry.

How many people are there as a standard behind-the-scenes staff for a production crew?

Based on the current average standard for film shooting in Hong Kong, there are about 50 people.

For a low-budget film with an investment of hundreds of thousands or millions, there are about 30 to 40 people involved. For large-scale productions, there are relatively more people. Taking into account all the crew of "Police Story" filmed by a family class, there are 200 to 300 people.

In comparison, the crew of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" is considered low-cost among low-cost small-production films.

In the previous life, the crew of Lao Mouzi's "Fighting Monsters with Big Sweets" did not count the labor involved in reclamation and landscaping. The entire crew had more than 1,200 people behind the scenes, including more than 100 translators alone.

The phenomenal movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has a total of more than 4,000 shots in the entire movie. At its peak, the crew had more than 1,700 people. The lineup is absolutely huge.

The crew of Wang Gaowei's "The Grandmaster" was divided into more than a dozen groups for cross-regional filming, with nearly a hundred people in each group.

Of course, Hong Kong in 1986 was not so exaggerated, but the production team, director team, lighting team, scenery team, camera team, styling team, costume team, props team, set team, art team, and action team were already relatively standardized.

Okay, including the martial arts masters and apprentices, there are quite a lot of them.

Even the positions of making tea, combing hair, and driver are clearly broken down.

Naturally, Wu Xiaozu was not so generous. He only had the dozen or so clerks in front of him.

In the crew of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", Wu Xiaozu took on the two roles of acting and producing. It's like a rebel who leads a state as a shepherd or a prefect. It's no different from the king or emperor of the peasant uprising, all for the sake of good taste.

After all, it's an independent production, and it doesn't matter whether it's a producer or not.

There are two assistant directors: one is Qiu Litao, who has a solid theoretical background and is talented, and the other is Uncle Li Jiming, who is experienced and diplomatic.

The camera director Liu Weiqiang and the lighting engineer director named Zou Lin are responsible for the lighting and scenery groups.

In addition to the props and make-up people, there are also some temporary employees. The whole thing is pretty simple.

Even though Feicheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao had little experience, they still had to help with odd jobs and serve as apprentices.

Su Liyao and Luo Dong helped in the props team, while Fei Cheng followed Liu Weiqiang as a handyman. Not to mention other guest roles.
