Chapter 432 San Francisco, "God of Gamblers" under the setting sun(1/2)

PS: Please recommend votes, please votes for monthly votes!

San Francisco Bay Area.

An American muscle car with the 1967 Red Ford Mustang GT 500 was parked on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The sunset shines on the sea, through the iron net, and spots fall.

The giant ship emitting black smoke slowly passed under the bridge, black smoke, setting sun, dirty sea water, rusty railings, noisy seagulls, mottled road surfaces - the white air and messy stubble from their mouths.

The edge of the one-piece hat is stained with dirty oil.

The huge camera is hung with a crane, hanging outside the Golden Gate Bridge.

Pan Hengsheng, wearing a coat, operated the camera on the gimbal stabilizer, hanging from the sea, staring at the camera intently.

Huang Yuetai, wrapped in a yellow leather jacket, sat on the rail car. The assistant worker behind him slowly pushed it and walked along the semicircle. A red light flashed in the camera. The picture was recorded with a man's back. He stared at the image tightly, and he dared not relax at all.

A white cameraman was driving Stenikon, and the camera slowly pushed forward. Liu Weiliang next to him was also in the same outfit. The camera caught the changes in light - a black Lincoln with a shiny painted tiles slowly stopped.

Warm headlights, painted black car surface, crystal clear windows, and shiny brown leather shoes.

"Ba"

The door is closed, yes, it is closed.

In a gray slim British style suit, two long legs were standing in front of him. The camera in Qiu Litao's hand slowly swayed up.

On the side, the fixed buried camera position took a backlight silhouette, which appeared and disappeared.

"Oh, shit! This ghost place is really bad..."

The fingers gently slid across the mouth and were dressed in an extremely neat and exquisite Clark Gable-like moustache. On the spotted tie, there was a tie clip with a unique style that looked like a five-color Western dragon. There was a black gem inlaid in the middle, which looked like a black dragon.

A black scarf on the chest is embroidered with metallic edges.

The reason why the preliminary preparations for "Gambling God" exceeded the deadline was to customize many very exquisite props and costumes according to Wu Xiaozu's requirements.

Zhang Shuping and Yu Jiamei are responsible for collecting information. According to Wu Xiaozu's requirements, each character has specially designed costume design, sets, props and character styling.

This work started from the beginning of the "God of Gambling", which took several months.

The art, costume artist and stylist in "Gambling God" have more than 100 art, costume artists and styling personnel, not to mention the tailor workers who are outside the staff.

The person who came was a casual voice and had British complaints.

“There are thousands of people commit suicide every year.”

The sound from the back of the hoodie was low but disapproving.

"Will you be one in a thousandth?"

The man in a gray suit raised his beard slightly. On the side of the camera, he could see that his hair was combed with a meticulous half-length back, and the ring on his fingers was dancing flexibly at his fingertips...

Buzz!

The whistle of the giant wheel and the setting sun made everything not warm, but instead a little bleak.

This set of images uses more than 7 camera positions to capture.

"Click—"

Suddenly, the man in a denim jacket waved his hand and the scene instantly relaxed from the tense atmosphere, as if a oil pan was poured into water, instantly becoming lively.

“Hurry!!”

"Clean the hygiene on the ground quickly! All the equipment is tidy up quickly!"

"Every department is working quickly!"

In an instant, hundreds of people rushed into the shooting scene and became busy. The quiet scene exploded instantly.

Zhou Runfa quickly spit out the ice in his mouth. In order to create the effect of white ha ha, he had no choice but to do this. After all, there is rarely such cold weather in San Francisco throughout the year. However, Wu Xiaozu hopes that this effect can be achieved. Liang Jiahui next to him also quickly changed into an expensive gray suit.

"Director Wu, hurry up, the city hall stipulates that we must finish work before 5 o'clock! Otherwise we will complain! Also, the staff union asks us to fill in some information..."

A man in a suit and tie surrounded Wu Xiaozu like a fly.

"Long Hair!!!" Wu Xiaozu roared with the walkie-talkie.

“Arrival now!”

Qiu Litao was commanding the on-site staff to disassemble the machine at the top of his throat. When he heard Wu Xiaozu's shouting, he ran over panting, "Brother Zu, are you asking me for trouble?"

"Take him for me!"

Wu Xiaozu pointed at the man in a suit holding a briefcase in front of him, muttering to him, "Don't let him bother me anymore!"

"YESsir!" Qiu Litao quickly pulled the man in the suit aside and began to adapt to it with great sincerity...

"Fake!"

Wu Xiaozu was so angry that he couldn't help but spit out, "The Americans are full of unions and complaints everywhere! It doesn't count if they pay the fine, but the supervisor also supervises us to shoot! I'm telling you about Mai Dangxiong - he didn't even report the filming in Hong Kong Island, and rushed straight on the street!"

The staff from the surrounding Hong Kong islands were laughing and dared not speak, while the American employees hired looked at Director Wu for no reason and shrugged, not understanding what this Chinese was doing.

"Man, this Chinese is cool." A young and handsome old man gestured to his companion.

"Water?"

"Yayayayayayayaya...hehe...I said his rap is as rhythmic as Brooklyn cocaine. His inventory is so excited that he wants to run..."

Listening to this handsome black buddy squirting, Wu Xiaozu, who understood his black rap slang, turned black in an instant.

In fact, he estimated that he would suffer from one or another of the difficulties he would come to the United States to shoot, and he thought he could overcome it with his own experience.

But……

Only when you really get here will you feel the impact here that is different from Eastern culture.

Chinese people have a very low status here.

You should know that San Francisco is also one of the places of Chinese people in the United States. California is a very inclusive place. However, discrimination is still everywhere.

The rules for filming here and the laws to be followed can really make people collapse. Fortunately, there are people who are arranged here to help deal with these issues.

The shooting of the Kinmen Bridge requires a lot of procedures.

There is definitely no problem with this regulation, and it should even be followed.

but.

When this rule affects your creations all the time, people will inevitably have an angry mentality. Wu Xiaozu, the tyrant on the set, is very irritable.

Of course, you have to say that the shooting rules here also make every job very professional. This kind of major is difficult to find in Hong Kong and even Asia.

American staff have very strict requirements on time. They don’t say that they can’t work overtime, but that they really need corresponding benefits if they work overtime. This is unimaginable in Hong Kong.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this kind of profession.

The only bad thing is spending money like flowing water!

In his previous life, after the decline of Hong Kong films, countless Hong Kong film directors actually chose not to go north. Instead, they went to Hollywood and the United States to make a living.

Head bleeding.

Uncle Long was interviewed in his later generations. When he came to the United States for his first filming, he was really shocked by their profession! Everyone performed their own duties, and the entire crew was like a professional engineering team with clear division of labor.

This perfect industrial system has a huge impact on people.

Even Wu Xiaozu, a practitioner who has experienced various experiences in his later generations, still has great feelings.

However, if you dare not fight to the death, you really don’t dare to fight to the death!

Otherwise, many of Uncle Shilong's shots of having sex with the Wild Di in Life would not make the American point at the screen in a daze and ask: Oh Maiga! Who is this!!! What a shot?

Uncle Long said impatiently: What are you talking about? Are you talking about us? Just jump to the end! Saying something else is useless!

If Wu Xiaozu wanted to jump like this, he would be murdered by the actor!

Wu Xiaozu, who has accepted the film culture here for the first time, is really uncomfortable with it.

This contradiction cannot be eliminated by touching the upper lip and the lower lip.

American dramas will probably be filmed in California and Nevada. There are not many actors involved. Many interior scenes can be returned to Hong Kong Island to build scenery. After all, the consumption of shooting here is really like flowing water!

28 million Hong Kong dollars, no ban on spending!

Wu Xiaozu did not go to Hollywood for the first time to experience American film culture.

Seeing Qiu Litao, who was saliva flying and communicating with the supervisor, Wu Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really hard to enter Hollywood before he is ready!

Under the rules here, Wu Xiaozu is just a young director from the East. He has no autonomy at all!

It is not scary to see the gap. What we fear the most is that we don’t even dare to learn and insist on playing in seclusion!

Japan is indeed worth learning about this.

Wu Xiaozu sootheed the depression in his heart, but instead objectively appreciated the cultural impact of the East and the West.

In comparison.

At least for Wu Xiaozu at this time.
