Chapter 448 Temporary change of roles, meeting by fate(1/2)
PS: Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes!
Near Mong Kok, at the entrance of a damp alley, on-site workers are busy.
Not far away, someone was also filming with a camera, as if another crew was filming in Mong Kok.
In Hong Kong Island in the 1980s and 1990s, there were countless such scenes of meeting on the go. Hong Kong Island is so big in total, and Mong Kok is a must-see for many urban movies. It can be regarded as an iconic cut scene in Hong Kong movies.
Therefore, it is easy for you to see scenes and shadows from one movie in another. There are countless such situations.
Not to mention the scenes, even the props are all reused.
TVB is a master at this.
That's why you can see that Xiang Shaolong's time-traveling clothes were left to Jinlun Dharma King, and then Jinlun Dharma King threw them to Hebi Weng.
Fatty Wang glanced over here and sent someone to inquire. However, when he heard about "Carmen in Mong Kok" and the director Wang Jiawei, he didn't care much. The staff members opposite were even more surprised.
Only two young girls looked here curiously and pointed.
…
The cast of "Carmen in Mongkok".
Wang Jiawei crouched, bent his body, lowered his head and listened attentively to Producer Wu's explanation of the movie shots.
"Carmen in Mongkok" is not so much Wang Jiawei's first attempt as a follow-up and imitation of Wu's style.
The use of red and blue colors in "The Suspect" is definitely at the world's master level, and it was Director Hu's backdoor... bah bah bah! It's a whore, and it has been sent to the Cannes selection team.
This time, Wang Jiawei's film has very well learned the color mapping of "Master" Wu Xiaozu. Cyan blue and magenta are the colors of the clothes of the male and female protagonists in the film. Looking at the storybook of drawings for him in my hand, it is well demonstrated above.
The ratio of the character's "screen occupation" is determined to determine who is the emotional leader in the play.
In the drawing, the actress' lips were specially dyed a little pink, while the male protagonist appeared in a shaded gray tone.
Under the strict supervision of Wu Xiaozu, Wang Jiawei had no choice but to make preparations for the filming of "Carmen in Mongkok".
Wu Xiaozu had the same attitude as the young gangsters of later generations, and he was very disdainful of so-called unscripted filming. Wang Jiawei seemed to have a good idea when making a film, but in fact he didn't have any good ideas.
Therefore, his movies are all fragmented presentations, and this guy actually has no sense of movie logic.
Do you love him? You will understand the film’s beauty of bones, charm and resonant loneliness.
What if you don't love him? It's boring, lacks storytelling, and is difficult to understand.
However, fortunately, he also knew that this movie was his debut and there was no room for mistakes.
Therefore, the tone of the whole movie belongs to the less-than-Wang Jiawei world.
Here Wang Jiawei was listening to Wu Xiaozu’s opinions about the camera position. In the corner of the crew, a young man with thick hair, fine features, and a slender chin was bent over, pretending to be holding the script, but actually looking around, secretly glancing at the big names.
Director Wu.
"Hello? Boy, your eyes are popping out when you stare."
Wan Zixun slapped his twisted buttocks. This time, Zhang Xuexuan was frightened into panic. He was frightened away from the pretense of the script. He almost sat down on the ground, causing Wan Zixun to hold up his hands.
Looking around, it's a bit confusing.
I just slapped your butt, your reaction was too extreme, right? Did you really think I had the remote control that controls the popping candy in my hand???
"Are you okay?"
"No..."
Zhang Xueyan grinned and smelled of alcohol. He rolled his eyes, grabbed the other person's big hand that was slapping his butt, and said humbly, "Brother Wan, let me ask you something... Is it inconvenient for you?"
"Tell me about it -" Wan Zixiang Pangfang smiled with dimples on his face, and his middle-parted head was slightly curled in front of his forehead. He looked a bit like a deer inexplicably... This was the best time the little deer had ever been praised.
"There are rumors that you have accepted director Wu's new film?
Are you familiar with Director Wu?
What kind of person is he?
What does he like?
Is he the tyrant on set like the rumors say?
yes……"
"Stop it!" Wan Zixun's enthusiastic face quickly turned cold, and his dimples shrank in response to the cold, "Boy, what was the question you asked last time?"
"On the set..." Zhang Xueyan recalled.
"The previous sentence..."
"He..." Brother Wuying frowned, counted on his fingers, and tried to ask, "Filming?"
"Up, up, up..."
"Then I want to ask you if it's inconvenient..."
"That's it!" Before he could finish speaking, the fat old man glared, "Watch the shape of my mouth, it's not convenient!"
Seeing Zhang Xuexuan's silent expression, Wan Zixi sighed, put his arms around the other person's neck, tilted his head like an elder brother and said, "Boy, the most important thing about being an actor is to shoot the scene well, not to think about how to flatter the director. . No matter how good you are in flattering your acting, or your acting is terrible, no one will hire you."
Zhang Xueyan's expression was slightly awkward, and he forced out a stiff smile, which was extremely fake.
"You also know that Director Wu is very sharp. Director Wang strongly recommended you to act this time, which is a great opportunity. Boy, you are the best flattery if you seize this opportunity."
Wan Zixun finally patted his shoulder and said, "Drink less."
The most popular news in the entertainment industry recently, apart from "Pepsi Superstar Concert", is the fact that Zhang Xuezhen, a rising star, has lost thousands of copies of his new album. The comparison between the two is even more obvious.
At this time, Zhang Xuequan had begun to show signs of alcoholism.
He himself never thought that Wang Jiawei would ask him to film a film, and it would be a film produced by 1024 Locomotive Film Company.
"Every unit, please pay attention and go through the show." A field worker came over to say hello.
Zhang Xueyan quickly patted his face with ice water, raised his head, and was startled.
…
Wu Xiaozu was originally quite satisfied with the actors, especially the combination of Luo Dong and Wang Zulan, which was a box office guarantee. This was one of the main reasons why he was willing to give Wang Jiawei, a money-loser, a show.
But I didn’t expect that I would be tricked by Wang Jiawei——
"Say it again."
Wu Xiaozu's face was calm, his eyes were indifferent as he looked at Wang Jiawei, who was dumbfounded and unrecovered in front of him. His voice gradually became darker, "Didn't I ask you to outline the shooting plan and then hand it over to the company to contact the actors? Tell me now. I have not confirmed the filming schedule with A Dong and Xiao Xian at all...I!"
If the person in front of him was not Wang Jiawei, Wu Xiaozu would have really kicked him to death.
Such a stupid mistake...
No way, Wang Jiawei is such a weirdo. In his previous life, when he was filming "Carmen in Mongkok", he forgot to tell Andy Lau to arrange the schedule. Fortunately, Andy Lau was at a low point at that time and had no scenes to film.
When filming "Carmen in Mong Kok", he, the director, didn't even understand the focal length. As a cameraman, Ao Zhijun and Liu Weiwei told him step by step how to blur the background. At that time, Liu Weizhen saw that people like Wang Jiawei can make movies, and he felt that A sense of confidence.
Later, this kind of blur lens was used by Wang Jiawei to this day, and it even became his signature style - a large aperture blurred background and the rule of thirds composition.
This shot sounds very classy.
In fact... in later generations, all the photos posted by some girls on WeChat Moments have this kind of retouching effect, commonly known as "sugar water tablets".
His scene management was also thanks to the assistant director Jiang Yuecheng, who is the gay blind man in "Westward Journey".
Even the use of colors that he was praised for later was actually regular: "red and green", "red and black", "red and yellow", "yellow and green", "blue and yellow", "green and
"Black", "Green and Magenta", etc. This level is ten small steel cannons behind not only compared with Lao Mouzi, but also compared with Kai Ge.
So, you should know what Wang Jiawei’s technical level was in his early days as a director, right?
This guy is the village beauty in the director's field, the koi fish in the film industry, and can be called the son of destiny!
He is a real amateur who knows nothing about making movies, and then inexplicably becomes an internationally renowned film master...
You have to know that after seeing his film "Ashes of Time" in Venice, Auntie Lin, who is also an art degenerate, her first reaction was that she didn't understand it, and her second reaction was that it didn't look good.
Then she fell into a state of doubting life, and asked the reporter who was interviewing her blankly: "Why doesn't everyone talk without eye contact? It seems that everyone is talking to the air.
Whose little eyes are not looking at the teacher?
Who loves whom?
Who is better with whom?
Who is who?
Wait...who am I?"
You know, that was a young literary woman writing poems with her butt pointed out on the bed! She was so reckless, let alone other ordinary people??
It is estimated that Wang Jiawei himself seems to understand.
The number of actors and superstars he has deceived is enough to circle the earth. Wu Xiaozu is naive. He thought he was an exception - after all, he has been supervising every conceivable difficult problem since the project was established.
But who would have thought that Wang Jiawei couldn't even do this kind of thing like "telling classmates to come to class tomorrow"!
Looking at "The teacher's kindness is as great as the sky, the heart of the fist is as big as the sea" and looking at his own king, "I don't understand anything, it's all up to you" Jiawei, Wu Xiaozu has a feeling that when he goes on a date with KKP, he cries and wants to finish the sex.
have no choice.
