Chapter 637: City Wall Surveying, the culprit(1/2)

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

Tick--

Tick--

In the dim and cramped dilapidated alley, dirty water flowing, a mouse jumped out of the disgusting plastic bag.

On the wall, the exposed dilapidated pipes sprayed with strange smell of water vapor, the rusty iron fence door swayed slowly, and under the rust door diagonally above, blood was flowing down from half of the iron ladder.

A panavision film camera with a black tough wide-angle camera is mounted on the gimbal and tripod, standing on the uneven stone road. One of the feet is also covered with a torn rag to ensure the stability of the machine.

This panavision film camera is worth $130,000, and the weekly rent is more than $8,000-12,000 a week. Because the mounts of all lenses are different from other brands, it is different from the common PL mounts, including the length of the tail of the lens.

Therefore, you can only choose a special lens from Panavision. A standard set of lenses is worth around $450,000 to $650,000, and the rental price is $40,000 per week.

This is also the reason why SLRs are poor for three generations and photography ruins their lives.

The purchase and rental of equipment in 1021 Locomotive last year cost more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Many equipment were imported directly from the United States, Germany or Japan.

This is not common in Hollywood. It is not that Hollywood companies don’t have money to buy, but that they are more convenient and cost-effective to rent!

These equipment must be transported from the United States every time they are rented, and the equipment schedule must be considered.

For this reason... Yilinger-E-E-Si Locomotive also directly spent a huge amount of money to purchase related equipment.

The asset investment of Yilinger-E-Si Lite Locomotive in recent years is much stronger than that of Xinyi City and Debao. It has caught up with the two companies, and only Jiahe is one of the best!

Of course, the top two in the copy and recording equipment of Xinyi City are basically the top two in Hong Kong. This is much worse than the Locomotive of the One-Yin II!

Large production not only refers to the main creators, but also machines and equipment!

A top-notch light bulb may cost dozens of dollars, but these types of equipment are still imported now.

For the sake of effect, you can only buy it!

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

Sometimes, in order to complete the corresponding shooting, you need to contact the equipment manufacturer to customize the deformation camera, which is even more expensive...

This is also the reason why the movies produced by Yilinger-Ersi Locomotive are excellent in viewing effects!

Panavision is also a mainstream equipment supplier in Hollywood.

Now in the film era, it is basically one of several giants.

In a few years, it will transform the Sony Sony's HDW-900 camera into a new device that will become a new benchmark for digital movies.

By then, the loss of equipment will definitely be reduced by at least one fifth, which is definitely a big expense!

Behind the camera, a white ghost with a big nose was gathered together with a bald, medium-sized, middle-aged man with a face, observing the freeze-frame shot.

The dim picture looks very alienating through the sensor, which is different from the current photography style.

There is a saying to describe: Nowadays, Hong Kong Island’s photography style is ten times, and Wu Xiaozu’s movies are exclusively seven times!

Many movies on the market are deeply influenced by Wu Xiaozu's lens theory, light application and editing style.

The reason why it is called the "international ancestor" is not just to shape the golden body at the box office.

A simple box office will not win the favor of film critics, nor will it convince the peers, and of course it will not be hired by HKSC as a lifelong honorary consultant. Wu Xiaozu has made great contributions to the development of Chinese-language film industry and even the advancement of Asian and international films. The innovation of lens language and the innovation of light are all affecting others!

The two people in front of me are the tentative name: the photography director of the movie "Se7en".

The big nose ghost guy in the cat-coat curl is Du Kefeng, and another ordinary bald middle-aged man is Bao Xi, the top Chinese photographer who is as famous as the former in later generations. Needless to say, Wang Jiawei’s imperial photographer.

This time, "The Legend of Ah Fei" and Wang Jiawei hit it off. The latter later "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" shows everything!

This time, Wu Xiaozu did not cooperate with the royal photographers such as Pan Hengsheng, Huang Yuetai, Ao Zhijun, and Huang Zhongbiao. The main reason is the schedule, but more because of the camera style of the movie "Se7en".

"Director Wu asked us to reduce handheld movements, reduce traces of artificial camera operation, reduce unnecessary close-ups, and reduce camera movements that move without motivation..." The ghost man Du Kefeng muttered fluently with Bao Xi next to him.

These requirements are also because Wu Xiaozu did not choose the imperial cameraman.

Different from the past!

Overthrow yourself!

Redefine!

Wu Xiaozu's previous camera theory was very popular for sports cameras. "Two Heroes" and "Gambling God: Go to War Now!" all practiced this theory.

This time, this is a "experiment" from another lens.

That's why Wu Xiaozu needs to invest, because in such an experimental movie, losing money is probably a foregone conclusion!

Two cameramen stood behind the tripod and observed the changes in light.

Although the two of them were unable to do it like Huang Yuetai at this time: "When you see all the scenes and characters, you must immediately come up with three completely different lights and lenses to express them!" This kind of magical operation.

Even the qualifications of the two are incomparable to those of Huang Yuetai.

However, the reason why the two were compared with the Hong Kong camera master Huang Yuetai in later generations was because of their style.

If "Se7en" wants to change, Wu Xiaozu needs such a distinctive and talented cameraman to "correct".

Huang Yuetai, Pan Hengsheng and him know each other very well.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other party would understand what kind of shot he wanted! But... Wu Xiaozu just needs to be unfamiliar, and needs to be run-in with bumps to feed back to himself with a different sense of freshness.

Of course, understanding the camera styles of the two in their past lives is also the reason why Wu Xiaozu chose them!

For Du Kefeng and Bao Xi, being able to cooperate with Wu Xiaozu this time is undoubtedly the most important lesson in their camera career! Wu Xiaozu has made too many behind-the-scenes staff famous.

Videographers completed sublimation and transformation from him.

He is a film director who understands the camera and the story! This is rare...

When the two of them were "killing" the scene, not far away, on the roof of the tube building, Wu Xiaozu was leading someone to step on the roof with his feet to measure it~

"Huizai, mark it here, you need to pay attention to it. There will be a lot of rain scenes here, and you need to design it to facilitate watering... At the same time, you need to choose the shed that is old enough... Don't make it old, just need the real awning that has been used for a long time, disassemble it and install it..."

Wu Xiaozu squatted on the eaves, holding a cigarette in his mouth, waved his hand at Mai Zhaohui beside him, and called Ye Wei to purse. Luo Zhilang and the others took the photo and went back to reconsider the plot design according to the scene. At the same time, let You Hai change the script according to the scene changes at any time.

These are all areas that need to be considered and involved in landscape surveying, and are also important preparations in the early stage of the film.

In this drama, Mai Zhaohui, You Feihai, Ye Weimin and Luo Zhilang are the newcomers promoted by Wu Xiaozu.

Luo Lixian went to help Wu Baige film "Two Heroes II: Bloody Two Heroes", in which he served as a special stunt director and deputy director. Ye Weimin was sent to the crew of "A Comic to the World" to serve as an assistant director for Liu Zhenwei, and Lin Chaoxian helped Liu Weiqi prepare "Young and Dangerous 4".

Promoting newcomers is also a matter of Director Wu.

"Brother Zu——"

Mai Zhaohui pointed to the second young master Jiang who was jumping downstairs and hiding from the puddle. It was a pity that the young master Jiang's windbreaker was hanging down on the ground...

"This is a bad place~"

Jiang Ershao cursed in annoyance, pulling his clothes, looking unlucky, "You know you're here to look for the scenery again! I found that you have a special liking for the Jiulong City Village... I'm really afraid that you will have no place to film the scene after the demolition is completed..."

Wu Xiaozu really has a special liking for the Jiulong Village.

"The Birth of a Character" is filmed here, and there is also a shadow here in "Two Heroes", not to mention "Suspect", which is an important shooting venue. This time, Wu Xiaozu was surveying the scene here again in "Se7en".

"The city wall condenses the shadow of Hong Kong Island, and here, every shot is very interesting."

Wu Xiaozu threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it with his feet, knocked it on the sole of the shoe, and walked down from the stone bench next to him...

Hong Kong Island and mountain cities are all cities that are very suitable for display with lenses. They are not flat, but have a sense of three-dimensionality and fireworks. After stripping away life, you will find that there seems to be changes under the lens every moment... It is very wonderful.

He waved his hand to signal the rest of the people to continue to survey the scenery according to the plan. Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Ershao, who were wearing clothes and disgusted faces, walked into the dog meat stall next to him.

"Brother Zu——"

The stall owner wearing a towel and a sweatshirt nodded and greeted Wu Xiaozu. Wu Xiaozu did not worship the pier here without vain, and he did not stingy in the offerings for worshiping Buddha in the mountains.

So he is quite suitable here.

Of course, the preservation measures should be taken are also very strict, and the surrounding bodyguards have been fulfilling their duties. This kind of place is like a slum in India.

"What's the point today?" Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile.

"Brother Zu, don't worry, the newly sent black dog today..." the stall owner said quickly, "Make sure it's fresh!"

Wu Xiaozu nodded, threw his chin, casually stretched out a dirty chair and sat down freely, picked out two flush chopsticks from the chopstick cage, "Put a few plates of side dishes first~ a pot of glutinous rice wine."

"Okay~" The stall owner started to work enthusiastically, and his wife and children next to him were also busy.

Wu Xiaozu handed the chopsticks to Jiang Ershao.

“…”

Jiang Zhiqiang stretched out his handkerchief and pinched the chopsticks and rubbed it hard, wiped the table and chairs, and then sat down with confidence, raised his eyebrows, "Azu, I don't eat dog meat."

"This thing replenishes the middle and replenishes qi, warms the kidneys and helps yang, and is specialized in treating physical weakness caused by deficiency of liver and kidney essence and blood, weak legs, premature decline, dizziness in the head, decreased vision, frequent urination at night, cold limbs, etc...." Wu Xiaozu said.

"……… ̄□ ̄||……” Jiang Ershao held his windbreaker stiffly and kept it in for a long time without saying a word.

Wu Xiaozu did not continue to expose Jiang Ershao. At this time, the stall owner asked his youngest son to bring the wine. He smiled and took the glutinous rice wine sent by the stall owner's youngest son, touched the child's head, poured two bowls, and said, "This time, come here for the "Queen of Prada"?"

The thick pottery bowl was filled with thick turbid wine, and the second son Jiang was reluctant to move... He raised his head but found that Wu Xiaozu naturally drank a bowl.

"The rice wine brewed by home is not very good, it's quite sweet." Wu Xiaozu glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang and said with a double word: "Since you come, you can rest assured."

"Do you really think this is OK?"
