Chapter 6 Film Film, 400,000
"Do we really want to start filming?"
Not only Feicheng was surprised, but the other two guys were also stunned.
Movie.
Film film.
Yes, movies at this time were completely different from digital movie shooting in later generations.
In the future, you will be able to complete all shooting tasks except high-speed shooting with a 5D Mark 2 SLR. Even after the emergence of 5D Mark 4, you can directly connect to a mobile phone and use the mobile phone as a monitor. It does not matter what lens you use. Movie posters are clearer than digital cameras.
.
But it's different now.
The threshold for film movies is too high! How high? How many floors high!
Equipment limitations, film limitations, and complex technologies all make this industry extremely demanding, and the industry is very demanding when it comes to talent selection!
Therefore, for ordinary people, filmmaking is really a very high-level way of making a living and a real technical job.
Many people think that they can make movies after being reborn?
In fact, this is as nonsense as rebirth writing scripts and selling money to make a gambling agreement.
The words of the charter woman scolding the tailor in "Kung Fu" are just right for these people:
Once you're a rabbit, you'll always be a rabbit. Even a pair of white shorts can't cover up the red panties you're wearing underneath, they're white and rosy!
Film cameras are huge, extremely complex to operate, and cumbersome to use.
How to cut each shot, how to bury the camera, how to handle the scene, and how to handle the shots according to the environment, script, character psychology, and lighting. These are skills that are paid to make a living.
In the film age, a camera assistant was very skilled.
In the Photography Department of the Later Film Academy, the basic skills training began with a few months of film changes.
The film box is 1000 feet per box, and the one on the camera is 400 feet per box. You need to blindly change the film in the dark within the specified 35 seconds, introduce another 400 feet, quickly spray the lens, and then come on action (start shooting)
).
Of course, film cannot be exposed to light, and it will be destroyed once exposed.
How many feet of film are there in a movie?
A movie is 90 minutes, which is 5400 seconds, and the camera is 24 frames per second. Movies are all copied in 35mm, which is about 2000-3000. One copy, with the beginning and end removed, can be shot for 4 minutes.
Not counting processing and copying costs, this is about 45,000-65,000. The waste film rate is very good, reduced to the lowest 3:1, which is about 150,000-200,000.
If you give up a game, you can ask whether the director and cameraman will come forward and give it a try.
Want to eat a box lunch? You can eat shit even if it’s cold.
The filming speed of Hong Kong Island films in this era was not only due to some factors mentioned by later generations. One of the reasons was that film was too expensive and could not be wasted.
In the previous life, the acting skills of the young freshmen were not up to par? OK! It just takes a little more effort. Cutting out pictures? OK! Read 12345? OK! Anyway, just shoot a few more scenes. Anyway, it is digital shooting. As long as there is time, the director does not matter.
Not at this time, the director will not reshoot. If the filming is not good, he will be scolded. During the filming of three movies, Andy Lau was scolded more than ten times a day, and he hugged his manager and cried. The next time he filmed, his whole body ached and his arms were bruised.
Qing didn't dare to move until the director called for a stop.
In the Hong Kong film industry at this time, if the film ratio reaches 1:5, it is considered a conscientious super-large production. For example, Li Hanxiang went to the mainland to shoot a film, which shocked the China Film Studio. This T-M-D had a huge investment and a big cast! A group of China Film Studio, Beijing
Everyone from the Film Studio and the Green Film Studio came over to visit.
The first is to learn how other great directors shoot, and the second is to see how rich people use film.
This is real!
So, if I ask you to shoot for ten months, you won't be able to shoot. There won't be that much film. Of course, if your name is Wang Jiawei, that's a different matter.
The King of Sunglasses is really cheating investors when he shoots a movie.
How long did it take him to film "Ashes of Time"? Three and a half years!
The actor was tortured to the point of death, and the investor almost jumped off the building, so he hired someone to kill this flamboyant man. If friends like Liu Zhenwei hadn't supported him, the sunglasses king might have become the iron crutch king.
A movie costs tens of millions on film. It can only be said that Wang Jiawei is not making a movie, he is really just burning bundles of money to make art.
Just because making movies at this time is not as simple as digital movies, Wu Xiaozu's words are indeed a bit shocking.
"Is there a problem?"
"No." Luo Dong blinked.
"I do." Feicheng raised his hand and scratched his head, "Which one of us knows how to film?"
"Is it difficult to make a film?"
Feicheng and Su Liyao were confused. Luo Dong also looked at Wu Xiaozu with a confused look on his face, and a stern look on his face that said, "Although I haven't studied much, please don't lie to me."
"Of course! Look at how Zhou Runfa shoots with a gun, he's so high-end. The most beautiful one now is him, even more popular than Xu Guanjie."
"A Better Tomorrow" marked the beginning of the real golden age of Hong Kong movies. I had no choice but to obey Bai Ge Wu and create a masterpiece that is a masterpiece of Zhuang (bi).
"The filming cost a lot of money. It seems that we don't have any money either." Su Liyao reminded awkwardly, "In addition to the 2,000 yuan spent in the store, I also have a big golden bull and a big bull, a total of 1,500 yuan..." (The big golden bull has a face value of 1,000,
Daniel has a face value of 500.)
"All my belongings are here -" Luo Dong took his wallet, opened it and poured out almost six hundred yuan.
Seeing both of them taking out their belongings, Feicheng's eyes began to dodge. In addition to helping in the store, he also drove a taxi from time to time to make extra money.
but--
It’s hard to describe in one word.
Unable to resist the gazes of the three men, Feicheng nervously opened his pockets.
Ding dong, a few coins fell out.
Honey-juice is embarrassing! There is more than one word to describe it, this is simply embarrassing.
"Why don't you die of poverty?" Luo Dong gave Wu Xiaozu a hard look, and turned to Wu Xiaozu: "Brother Zu, if you need money urgently, I can go and get some."
Wu Xiaozu waved his hand and pointed at Feicheng, "Go and help me carry my bag."
Opening the bag, he found a few changes of clothes and a gold watch, then took out a Standard Chartered bank passbook and an HSBC cashier's check.
The three of them were stunned.
Opening the deposit certificate and cashier's check, the amount on them was dazzling.
The certificate of deposit is 270,000 and the promissory note is 150,000.
"Now that the British Hong Kong government has turned into a welfare institution, even if you are in jail, you can make money?" Fei Cheng stared at Wu Xiaozu in disbelief, "Boss, do you want to be so exaggerated? You show off your wealth like this, which makes me lose face."
Luo Dong and Su Liyao were also shocked.
Wu Xiaozu smiled and nodded his head with his finger, "I have told you a long time ago that now we are all talking about brain-eating." After speaking, he explained with a smile.
"While in prison, I helped the sires apply for benefits from the police station and the Welfare Department, and we got along very well. I asked the off-duty sirs to help carry some cigarettes, posters, food and some light contraband. You know
Yes, in that place, cigarettes are the only food. If you can get the goods, you can already make a lot of money.
In order to cope with patrol inspections, I usually ask them to store cigarettes and some contraband at my place. Not only is it safe here, but I also give you a little interest.
Then I turn over these items to people in need at high interest rates. I can easily earn some living expenses by going back and forth.
It's just a matter of giving some to the Sirs. It won't work if you eat alone.
You must know that although the Causeway Bay Correctional Institution does not imprison serious criminals, rich people will be imprisoned here. They are not short of money, but they are short of all illegal items. If you want to enjoy these things in peace and comfort, you will inevitably have to pay a high price to find them.
Let me know. Even if it is the most common product, a cigarette is worth 20 Hong Kong dollars. Do you still think this is a lot of money?"
The three of them looked at each other in disbelief.
"Wow! Boss, this is simply more profitable than a loan shark." Feicheng shouted excitedly.
"I'm more accustomed to calling it a prison bank." Wu Xiaozu shrugged, pretending to be as cool as the wind and always with me.
The biggest advantage of future generations is their approach and vision of building things from a high position.
This business was not imitated by anyone in the prison, but it didn't require the help of the gentlemen with whom Wu Xiaozu had made good friends. Wu Xiaozu could outwit those young and Dangerous colleagues to death in a matter of seconds with just a few moves.
There is a word in the industry called run. It is not very clever, but it is very effective.
Not to mention that the sirs took good care of Wu Xiaozu because he helped them apply for welfare. If others want to play, they will definitely be punished badly. How many joints and how many people are taking money? How dare you reach out randomly?
Cutting off our wealth is like an adulterer's wife and daughter.
So when he first entered the ancestral hall, Wu Xiaozu's first thought was to establish a good relationship with the sirs.
Because no matter how well you know how to eat your brain, nothing can compare to having someone cover you!
