Shaw Brothers, Clear Water Bay Studios.
"Azu, let me tell you, the person I introduce will definitely be of your liking. You can ask around here to see who has the guts not to give me some thin noodles."
The fat guy with a pitted face and a fierce look was blowing water on the strong, handsome man next to him, and spitting stars were flying everywhere.
"From the director to the tea, I take care of everything. Just feel free to do whatever my boss tells you. Not to mention the assistant director, even if you are looking for a big director, it will be no problem. I am familiar with many of Shaw Brothers' big directors."
"Since Shaw Brothers has reduced its film production, this area has become the base for film shooting in Hong Kong. Look over there, Debao Company is opening a film. Wow, that's Xian Sheng, Sammo Hung and Chaozhou guy Shum Jianxun have no authority in Debao .”
Looking over, Debao Pictures is filming.
Xian Qiran.
A typical person who is unknown outside the circle and scared to death within the circle. Now he is the helmsman of Debao Film Company and a confidant of Pan Disheng of Debao Film Company.
"Wow! Did you see that, that's the crew of Eryou Company? Do you know Xiao Zai Wei? He is the director, and he should be helping Chen You film this time.
When he was in Xinyi City, Ai Zaiwei was still Ma Zai, but now he sits on Pingzhi and smokes cigars.
A few days ago, I opened bottles of champagne costing several thousand yuan a bottle at the Monopoly Restaurant, poured it on women to get wet, and had sex every night. The champagne couldn't quench the fire of desire. It's inhumane, sorry!"
The short boy in his mouth is none other than Eric Tsang.
He said that others were inhumane, but his eyes were filled with envy.
The entertainment industry has always been such a mess, but 30 years later, a group of guys have transformed and become role models in the industry. They speak nonsense about morality and character with the audience and the younger generations, which makes people laugh out loud.
Your classic car has run out of energy, and you start talking about abiding by the rules and not driving fast. When you are racing, you pedal harder than anyone else.
Wu Xiaozu didn't know whether Li Zhaoji was able to protect himself in this area as he said.
But he does have a wide network of contacts and is very clear about the goings-on in the film industry.
Along the way, he kept gossiping with Wu Xiaozu about the petty ill intentions of some insiders.
Gossip about a certain cheating girl, a certain Hong Kong girl staying in a hotel overnight to meet her boyfriend, a certain lady suppressing newcomers to eat young people, a certain Du keeping a pretty boy, a certain Hong Kong girl sleeping with a senior executive but being chased by her original partner in Central and beaten...
When Wu Xiaozu walked on the set, he felt like he was visiting a kiln.
In the fat man's vicious speculation, all the actresses had an affair with the director, with the lighting engineer, with the cameraman, with the leading actor, and with the lunch box seller.
In short, Fat Guy Ji only dares to practice bravery with the directors and stars on the set 100 meters apart!
His talking skills are more distorted than his face. He is more twitching than when he listens to cross talk, and he has more buttons than when he listens to the king of pits.
Absolute talent!
In the whole morning, Wu Xiaozu witnessed what is called the golden age of Hong Kong movies.
At the Clearwater Bay studio, there were dozens of crews of all sizes, and the men's restrooms had to queue up, which was scary.
In order to organize the filming as soon as possible, Wu Xiaozu not only promised to give Fat Guy Ji a job, but also gave him a big gold bull (1,000 yuan) as "tea money", which immediately made him look like a chrysanthemum and work hard.
Therefore, the favors of big men are all false, and big cows are obviously easier to use than big men.
…
"Fat gay!"
"Silly Qiang?"
Liu Weiqiang, who has a three-quarter-parted haircut and glasses, is dark and thin, happily greeted Fat Guy Ji.
"Brother Ji, do you have the time to come to the set and have fun?"
Liu Weiru joked loudly to his old friend, "I heard that you recently went to the gospel church. Are you going to be a priest because you are out of work?"
"Damn! Who's trying to embarrass me? Will I lose my job? Do you know who this handsome guy next to me is?" Li Zhaoji looked unhappy.
When Wu Xiaozu wasn't paying attention, he leaned close to Liu Wei and whispered: "Shaqiang, do you have any schedules recently?"
Pointing to Wu Xiaozu who was following him, he said, "This Mr. Wu is about to start filming and is in need of a cameraman, so why don't you come and help." He added and emphasized: "He is very generous."
Liu Wei was startled and looked at the tall and handsome Wu Xiaozu. Seeing Liu Wei looking over, Wu Xiaozu handed over a cigarette with great interest.
"I happen to be shooting a movie recently. Are you interested in taking the shot and becoming a photographer?"
Wu Xiaozu smiled brightly. Seeing Liu Weiqiang, he felt happy.
Unexpectedly, after wandering around for a whole morning, I found nothing, but before leaving, I encountered a big fish. It was quite an exciting feeling of unexpected surprise.
Ahem, please forgive a filmmaker for his eagerness to try and co-opt a big shot in the industry when he meets them for the first time, especially when they were young.
This feeling is like personally teaching Rebus to speak English; personally feeling the powerful upper lip; personally taking out the chewing gum from Tangtang's mouth when she was acting! Then inserting a pair of dentures into her backhand.
In short, this is a cool joke that only those who understand it will understand.
Just imagine, in the first movie, the cinematographer is Liu Weihao. That feeling... is it like an encyclopedia of déjà vu?
Liu Wei asked cautiously, "When does Wu Sheng plan to start filming?"
He is not a great figure in the film industry in the future. At this time in Hong Kong, there are as many great figures in the photography industry as there are crucian carp crossing the river, and each of them has the ability to carry the weight.
Winner of the first Academy Awards, industry master Huang Yuetai; Xinyi City's gold medal cameraman Huang won the bid; Xu Ke's current cameraman Huang Yongheng; cameraman Pan Hengsheng, master iron hand Zhong Zhiwen; Mai Dangxiong'ai
Jiang Gu Guohua, Tang Baosan; Zhang Yao, the special photography group appointed by Long Ge; Liu Weirong's master Ao Zhijun; and Lin Yadu, Li Cuiming, Li Ziheng, Bao Dexi, Chen Leyi, Shao Yuanzhi...
If you look at these big names in the industry as celebrities, they would be considered top-tier or even top-tier. If you look at nightclubs, they would be top-notch.
In comparison, Liu Weihao, who has a dark face, thin eyes and protruding eyes, and Wade-style cheeks, is just a young and insignificant newcomer who has just started training. Wu Xiaozu did not think about it. He said that he was pink, but he seemed to be not as senior as others.
…
Wu Xiaozu thought for a while, "It should be filmed at the end of August. I don't know, Ah Qiang, do you have a schedule?"
"Yes!" Liu Weiyi hurriedly agreed, but was a little nervous, "Are you sure I will take charge of the camera?"
Liu Weiru has been in the industry for many years. He was just a part-time worker in the camera crew at first. From a part-time worker in the mobile team to a film operator, a photography apprentice, and a camera assistant, he recently had the opportunity to bid farewell to his role as a camera assistant and start working as a second camera operator and second camera operator.
Guidance and other duties.
It has been his wish for many years to be able to take charge of photography independently.
"Don't worry, what I say always counts." Wu Xiaozu pointed to the fat guy Ji on the side, "Brother Ji is the planner. In a few days, I will hand over the script and storyboard to you, and then I will go with you to scout the location.
, draw a storyboard, is this okay?" Wu Xiaozu's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
His words made Li Zhaoji on the side look happy, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest. His little eyes were particularly bright.
Liu Weiqiang nodded quickly: "OK OK!"
"When the time comes that I need some photography equipment, I'll ask you to list the details."
"No problem. If I can't rent any equipment I need, I can ask my master for help." Liu Weiqiang nodded hurriedly.
Wu Xiaozu was even more satisfied.
Master Ao Zhijun, master Huang Yuetai, their connections are incredible.
You select a newbie with great potential, and then you discover that there are a group of senior technical experts behind this newbie.
Chapter completed!
