Chapter 63 Industry Big Guys

PS: Please recommend tickets

Hong Kong Island, 23:00 pm.

Li Yuan Restaurant in Laundry Street, Mong Kok, with a lot of diners and a lot of tables.

Hong Kong Island Liyuan was founded by Mr. Chen Shujie, the youngest son of "South King" Chen Jitang. By 1973, the first Liyuan in Sham Shui Po had been opened in Hong Kong Island.

The five Liyuan tastes top-notch and are popular among the gluttonous diners in Hong Kong. Cai Lan, an expert who knows how to eat, praised Liyuan and wrote special articles to praise it.

Wu Xiaozu declined the proposal of the two girls to sing karaoke and drove a red chicken from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok Laundry Street.

Before leaving, looking at the two girls who were very excited, Wu Xiaozu regretfully glanced at the dazzlingly lit clock hotel not far away. He would definitely drink when singing karaoke. Wu Xiaozu could tolerate this situation and deserved his reputation as a gentleman!

Haha! Coward?

For Wu Xiaozu, it is more attractive to flirt with girls without Hong Kong dollars! I don’t discuss whether the two women have a good impression, but he knows better what he wants.

If the show cannot start in time, he will throw it in more than 100,000 yuan, and he will not be able to afford to invest in the new show.

He was under great pressure. Out of trust, Jiang Zhiqiang rushed to Wanwan overnight to contact the shooting matters. Before leaving, he threw Wu Xiaozu a bank note.

1 million!

Wu Xiaozu always felt that he had cheated on him. If he had known that Jiang Ershao was so big, he would rather pay more than 100,000 yuan. Anyway, Jiang Ershao also told him to pay the bill.

But now it doesn't work, and the words are blown away. If this movie fails, he will probably become Eunuch Wu.

Wu Xiaozu chose the latter for women and money. He was a bastard at heart, but he was an extremely eye-catching bastard.

If you don’t have money to hook a girl, you will be a little white dragon? You will be happy for a while and then be ridden by someone?

Inside the Liyuan box.

The wine cups intertwined and the atmosphere was full of energy.

Wu Xiaozu sincerely and politely picked up the wine glass and toasted the middle-aged man with his shoulders slanted in front of him, "Brother Tai, I'll bother you this time. Please ask you for the new drama!"

"It's okay, Director Wu, you're too polite."

Huang Yuetai pressed Wu Xiaozu's arm and asked him to sit down. He waved his hand in a kind tone, pointed to Liu Weiqing, who was slightly embarrassed, and smiled, "Aqiang is my disciple. You give him a chance to stand up. I'm thankful that it's too late.

In our industry, practical experience is more important than theory. If you don’t hold a mirror by yourself, you will never know how to shoot. This time he found me to help, and I am naturally responsible for being an elder.”

Huang Yuetai's words are very flat and slow, but his organization is very clear. His words also reveal the meaning of supporting his younger generations.

If we talk about the most united and united among Hong Kong filmmakers, we must count the cameraman industry. Dragon and tiger martial artists are not so united. After all, the martial artists of the Yuan family, Hong family, and Cheng family are still clearly distinguished and have a lot of gaps.

The first professional association for Hong Kong filmmakers is the Hong Kong Cinematographers Association (HKSC), which will be established next year.

Huang Yuetai, who likes to speak with his shoulders and is not astonishingly beautiful, served as the president. He sat for 18 years until he passed the throne to his disciple Liu Weiqiang.

In the photography industry, the inheritance taste is stronger than any profession. A lens requires talent, and more importantly, the master needs to inspire and hone you step by step.

The most basic job of a photographer is to convey the director’s creative intentions through the lens in his hands.

An excellent photographer is like a tiger with wings for a director. An excellent photographer can bring a director a lot of different horizons and thus burst out with more inspiration.

When King of Sunglasses filmed "The Cheongsam in the Years", two outstanding photographers, Du Kefeng and Li Pingbin, used the lens to bring him a lot of inspiration. They were a god!

Liang Chaowei and Maggie Cheung were so pretentious, gentle, and had a small taste that was as mellow as red wine. The taste was full of fun, and when the golden wind and jade dew met, it became particularly greasy.

Du Kefeng and Li Pingbin used their lenses to perfectly create an atmosphere of emotional ambiguity and entanglement, psychological contradictions and hesitation. To sublimate the feelings through the lenses, this is the foundation of an excellent photographer.

"Master, I've caused you trouble!"

Huang Yuetai, who was beside him, smiled faintly and shook his head slightly to say that it was okay.

Liu Weiyi turned his head and raised his cup solemnly, looking at Wu Xiaozu apologetically, "Brother Zu, this time..."

"It's nothing, it's just that I've made a mistake. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, you said hello in advance."

Wu Xiaozu put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup and the bottle and poured a glass of it, and said with a smile, "Besides, you also invited me to help Brother Tai, the great god. I will take a big advantage..."

"Brother Tai, this drama is time-consuming and heavy. I'll have to accompany me to the New Territories to survey the scenery in these three days."

Wu Xiaozu took a few more pieces of paper and handed it to Huang Yuetai, "This is the shooting outline I wrote. Take a look. The footage of this movie is divided into two parts. The first part is cold and dark, full of chaos, and the latter part is full of hope!"

"I'll take a look..." Huang Yuetai wiped her greasy hands, took the paper, hung the myopia mirror hanging on her chest on the bridge of her nose, and read it carefully.

Outline of "The Birth of a Word":

The opening scene is a long shot shaking in, the lens is translated, and the front face is from left to right, forming an arc shape.

Close-up, front, straight-up, fixed. Close-up of yellow A-dog's palms, close-up of mouth moving. Each grid is stretched back, showing the medium scene of yellow A-dog and fortune teller.

Close-up shot and shaking. When you walk out of the room, the light suddenly changes, and a sound suddenly appears. People come and go on the street, shaking, and a large wide-angle panoramic lens, shaking flat to the next character...

The first piece of paper is densely packed with shot lens settings, and some lenses are blank. This requires the camera position and depth of field to determine the storyboard script after the viewing is surveyed.

The second piece of paper, nine-frame comic style. The first picture: The man with the label "Liu Qingyun" sat sideways in the picture, stretched out his arms on the table, his palm lines were visible, and his eyebrows were frowning. It showed that he was telling fortunes.

The second picture is in the street stall, with a fat man with the label "Li Licheng" squatting there and picking up the necklace.

The third picture: The man who wrote "Wu Zhenyu" was standing under the bridge, holding a pager in his hand, and a telephone booth stood next to him.

The fourth picture: Two men, one strong and one thin, stood by the river, holding a swimming ring in their hands.

The fifth picture: A man kneels in front of Guan Gong, and a man behind him angrily scolds him.

The sixth picture: A huge clock hanging on a building, vaguely standing on the edge of the building, shaking.

The seventh picture: a dark tea restaurant, seven simple human figures that were not drawn without any relevance, and they sat in various places with a sense of space, each of them facing a round table in the middle. The picture shows a sense of confrontation and hostility.

Picture eight: Looking down, seven people gathered on the round table, with seven hands stacked together.

The ninth picture: A T-shaped intersection, at the end of the T-shaped, and seven shadows appear in front of you from far to near. Recently, a person wrote the name "Liu Qingyun". The seven people either stood, leaned against the wall, sat along the roadside, or stood on the street lights. It was obvious that they pulled out a strong sense of space.

Huang Yuetai was so immersed in his eyes. Looking at the next page, it was densely packed with explanations of many shots and lights.

"call--"

Huang Yuetai silently put away these pieces of paper and looked at Wu Xiaozu with a flickering eyes. The first time he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine, "Director Wu, I'll give you a glass. I've made so many movies, and this is the first time I can understand what to say without looking at the camera. I've made it for the New Wave filmmakers and also for all major directors. Some of them have many requirements, and some don't even understand how to watch the camera..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but give Wu Xiaozu a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

"I'm willing to take this job." He said that, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

"Brother Tai, you're polite. I'm forced to go to Liangshan." Wu Xiaozu accompanied him with a cup.

"You said you were forced to go to Liangshan..." Huang Yuetai teased, "Is it your plan to go to Liangshan?" Speaking of this, he looked at his disciple Liu Weiqiang, and everyone laughed at the dining table.

"If you earn money, just join the gang. I think your mountain is more promising than Liangshan." Huang Yuetai smiled and joked.

"Brother Tai, don't worry, you are like Lu Junyi, even if you go up the mountain, it's the second place." Fei Cheng, who was standing beside him, poured wine with all his heart and said charmingly, "Brother Tai, can you let me learn by your side when you are filming..."

Fei Cheng rubbed his hands in a slight manner, "Ah... Brother Qiang said you are the master of our industry and my ancestor. I think you, the ancestor, should pass on me more hands--"

"Ahem..."

Huang Yuetai choked and coughed dryly by the wine. Her eyes swept to Liu Weiliang's face next to her helpless, and she couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you like to learn with me, then learn well. If you don't understand anything, ask Aqiang."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Brother Qiang!" Fei Cheng shamelessly sneaked into the other party's team.

This made Liu Weiliang next to him almost get a diarrhea. If he didn't pay attention, he actually had a cheap fat apprentice?

...

The drama "The Birth of a Character" has a strong personal style. Wu Xiaozu would never be as crazy as Wei's family, and he willfully make a movie of such a good theme into an experimental work, right?

Wei Jiahui is extremely awesome in telling stories, but when he is a director, he really likes to be out of line. He does not deny the excellence of the movie "Birth of a Character".

In terms of structure, theme and meaning, compared with similar movies, whether it is the creation of "Song of Opportunity" in 1987, or the most famous "Don't Cry, Stand Up and Rub", or "Birth of a Word" that instantly kills them.

But the disadvantages of this movie are also obvious:

The quality and sound effects of the slag picture, the scene that is shaken to vomit, the inverted shot during the fight... a series of shortcomings can be shown. But the reason why classics are classics is that they are destined to have a little light enough to cover up these shortcomings.

Good stories are the basis of the movie.

Wei Jiahui was very evil. When he met Pan Hengsheng, who was so sensible about his thoughts and consciousness, the two of them bent a good story, folded it, crushed it, and put it into many strong styles to convey the story obscurely.

This causes people who understand it to love it, and people who don’t like it will directly swear their arms and scold the streets.

Wu Xiaozu was not Wei’s family, so there was no need to copy his shooting method.

This is a movie called "The Birth of a Word" in Wu Xiaozu's style. Even if it is a gimmick, it was enough to kill the New Wave group in 1986.

Looking at Huang Yuetai, who was eating very deliciously while eating pig's trotters, Wu Xiaozu's mouth curled up.

What is Huang Yuetai's film style? Many filmmakers may not be able to give an accurate answer. Because his photography style is unconventional and does not show its pros and cons.

The director will give you whatever he wants, and he will change everything, and each one is not weaker than others.

This is indeed a great god!

With this big shot in the movie industry, Wu Xiaozu became much more confident.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are the most loving. Only Liu Weiliang’s master Ao Zhijun, who has masters, can the master be far away?

Each director in later generations had his own royal cameraman.

Du Kefeng, the royal cameraman of King of Sunglasses; Zhu Qifeng's favorite general Zheng Zhaoqiang; Xu Ke's commander Cai Chonghui and Huang Chongbiao; Chen Musheng's favorite Pan Yaoming, etc.

These are fates that are step by step, and they are hard to come by. The director chooses a photographer, and the photographer also chooses a director.

Later, when we mention Wu Xiaozu's imperial photographer, the three generations of grandparents served their left and right, hiss, this feeling is beautiful!

Unconsciously, my big-breasted brother also sneaked into the photographer's team.

Wu Xiaozu felt that he was always in the wind when he walked—
