Chapter 86 Special effects talents

He did what he thought of, and Qiao Feng called back to Hong Kong based on the memory in his mind and asked Wang Jing to help find someone.

Qiao Feng had two candidates, but the first one was hated and simply rejected. Lan Naicai later knew that there were not many people, but this guy was a very talented person. He started out as a small worker, later promoted to photography assistant, and then ranked among photographers, nicknamed "Rat".

His photography skills are very high. Although he has not won the Best Photography Awards like Du Kefeng and Huang Yuetai to prove himself, his level should be no different. When he was a photographer, he worked with famous directors Sun Zhong, Chu Yuan, Wang Zhong and others. During that time, he was also the best photographer on Shaw Brothers' set.

Qiao Feng knew that his name was because of a very bloody film, Li Wang, the one that Fan Shaohuang played the leading role.

Lan Nai was born in photography, so he must have a deep understanding of special effects technology. It can be seen from the science fiction and magical films he filmed Yuan Zhenxia, ​​Wesley, Tian Ye, and Li Wang. Especially Li Wang’s special effects may look very copycat and 50 cents in later generations, but in Hong Kong at that time, it made people feel very real and stimulating. The bloody effects of cutting flesh and stinging tendons, shattering belly and brain-spreading the ground. The timid ones can scare you and make people with insufficient patience vomit.

It was precisely that Qiao Feng thought of poaching him to form a special effects department or even a special effects company for him. But who knew that Qiao Feng had offered conditions to write a script for him to be a director, and Lan Naicai was not moved. He said that he was already a director and did not need Qiao Feng to help him.

Someone actually rejected Qiao Feng's script. Not to mention Wang Jing who helped contact him, Qiao Feng was shocked himself. This guy was ill in his mind.

The forced melon is not sweet. Since they don’t want Qiao Feng, they won’t force it. Who made Lan Naicai a weirdo? Before Qiao Feng, Shao Brothers, Xu Ke, and Hong Jinbao invited him to be directors, and he refused without exception. It was not until the 80 years that Qiao Feng traveled over, Lan Nai didn’t know why he had a good look at Lee Xiuxian and began to co-direct the movie with him one-way route, and then he entered the ranks of directors.

Lan Naicai failed to recruit him successfully, but fortunately Qiao Feng still has a second choice.

The second candidate, Qiao Feng called according to the number given by Wang Jing and said straight to the point: "I am Qiao Feng. I am now in the United States. I am planning to establish a special effects company. Here, there are top Hollywood special effects companies and special effects personnel who are investing in the movies I invest in to make special effects. Do you want to join my company? Have the opportunity to follow them to observe and learn."

The opening method this time was very correct and the correct reaction. After Qiao Feng explained it clearly, the other party hesitated and expressed his willingness at the moment. What surprised Qiao Feng even more was that the second number not only agreed to join his company, but also said that his subordinates had a team and asked Qiao Feng if he wanted to recruit more.

When Qiao Feng heard this, he was so happy that he would not do the good thing of buying one and getting a few free things. So a few days later, Target No. 2 took his dozen of his subordinates to the United States.

Chen Jiashang is the second target set by Qiao Feng. Many people are familiar with this name. They are famous Hong Kong directors, who have filmed many famous commercial films and special effects blockbusters such as Weilong, the top martial arts champion Su Qier, the heroes of the martial arts, and the painted skins after the new century, the Four Famous Captains, and many other famous commercial films and special effects blockbusters.

But the great director was only twenty-three years old at this time, and he was still a young man. He didn't have the iconic beard on his lips, and he was even less than three years older than the film industry.

But don't underestimate his youth, and don't think that this person has no experience. Yes, at this time, Chen Jiashang has six years left before he first directed the show, but Qiao Feng didn't ask him to be a director.

What Qiao Feng wants is to be able to do special effects and have special effects experience. Chen Jiashang meets this condition, and even meets it more than Lan Naicai. Because Chen Jiashang has been doing one thing since he entered the film industry and was admitted to Shaw Brothers as an employee, that is, to do special effects.

In 1980, Chen Jiashang dropped out of school from Canada and returned to Hong Kong. He did not work in a family construction company, but went to work at Shaw Brothers. At that time, Shaw Brothers hired three positions: lighting assistant, photography assistant, and production assistant.

Chen Jiashang felt that he could not do any photography without experience, so he applied for a production assistant. Because of his study abroad experience, he was a producer who knew English and stood out from the interview for a production assistant who chose one of 500 and was personally selected by Fang Yihua to Shaw Brothers.

However, less than two months after joining Shaw Brothers, he was selected as the head of the model production team by Zhang Guoming, the director of the Shaw Brothers science fiction blockbuster that imitated Star Wars.

Interstellar blunt, this film was played by Chung Chuhong, who signed Shaw Brothers in the original time and space, but Chung Chuhong became famous in advance in this time and space, and did not sign Shaw Brothers, so Shaw Brothers used another unknown actress.

The film investment is said to be the best of all Shaw Brothers movies, investing more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for Shaw Brothers to shoot more than a dozen or twenty ordinary movies. It has been planned to shoot in 1981 until this year. It took more than a year for this shoddy and co-produced science fiction film destined to be redeemed and finally finished filming not long ago.

For more than a year, Chen Jiashang has been the special effects director of this crew. At first, he made model props by himself, and later he started to bring people because some things need to be coordinated. By the time the movie was finished, Chen Jiashang had already gone out, including special effects, makeup, props, animation, optical special effects and other departments, all of which were young.

Then, all the special effects talents trained by Shaw Brothers with more than 10 million investment and a bad movie were taken over by Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng gave me much better treatment than Shaw Brothers. Young people like Shaw Brothers earn only more than 2,000 yuan a month, and Chen Jia, who gets the most, only 5,000 yuan. This is still the head of the special effects team. They make models day and night, and work overtime every day, and there is no overtime pay.

As for Qiao Feng, not only allowed them to go to the United States to observe and learn with the best special effects personnel (stealing the teacher), but also gave them a minimum salary of 10,000 yuan. What is the bonus? Chen Jiashang didn't say much about it just by looking at the topic, and all these people agreed.

"Jiashang, I'll leave this special effects to you. You can take them to learn from the Americans. I'll tell them you are helping, but don't really just do it. Just watch and learn more. If you don't understand, you must be ashamed to ask. If you are good at communicating with English, you will be more troublesome." After picking up someone from the airport, Qiao Feng asked Chen Jia to take a car with him. After getting on the bus for two minutes, Qiao Feng began to remind Chen Jia to go.

"Okay Mr. Qiao." Chen Jia nodded.

"Do it well, I like you the most. You can help me take these people well. If you want to be a director in the future, I will write a script for you." Qiao Feng threw out another bait.
