From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 106 Shooting the Lunar New Year Files

In the evening, when the production crew finished work, the big guys got together for a rare meal. Du Qifeng and the field manager went outside to pull a barbecue pit and came back.

"I have two younger brothers who both want to study. How can we do it if we don't make money? You have such a funny mind." Wu Mengwan rolled his eyes at Zhou Runfa.

"Make money? It's not that there are deals that come in faster."

"That's not enough to spend at all. The money will be gone before it gets home. How can it be enough?"

Zhou Runfa ignored Wu Meng's unreasonable look. How could anyone want to make a movie to support his family?

At this time, Wu Mengtu saw Wu Changyun and Yuan Aijia from a distance.

"Come over and eat skewers."

"it is good."

Wu Changyun waved, and Yuan Aijia ran to a seat aside to rest.

"It's a good job."

Wu Changyun looked at the several big bags of ingredients slowly, as well as the "squeaky" smoking pork belly, and suddenly he had an appetite.

"I was talking about you just now." Wu Mengyu changed his tone and brought the topic to Wu Changyun.

"What are you talking about me?"

"Talk about how much money a boss like you makes a year."

Wu Mengyu has a way of pretending to be stupid, after all, Uncle Da.

Wu Changyun calculated carefully, seeing that the few people in front of him were more concerned about this question, so he replied: "The one with the most money earned more than 1000 million."

"More than 1000 million? Is there a mistake? No more filming, no more filming, it's all because of the company." Wu Mengda waved his hand quickly.

"Don't be so anxious, it means you got it?"

"Three and five million." Wu Changyun didn't hide it, because this year is not a good year, and the company that makes the movie will most likely lose money.

There are countless Hong Kong film companies that started their businesses in 75. For Sammo Hung alone, he established four film companies one after another in the late 70s, and all of them aborted without exception.

People who can make movies may not be able to run a company well, and Wu Changyun is not sure about this. As a boss, he must first ensure sufficient funds.

"In fact, after calculating this, everyone may not necessarily get a lot of money." Zhou Runfa made a rough calculation and found that including this group of people and equipment is a huge consumption.

"You don't have to worry too much about this. As long as there are no problems with the Lunar New Year release this time and we can successfully win the top three, we can ensure that we have sufficient funds for our next film."

Wu Changyun wanted to give everyone a reassurance. Unexpectedly, everyone laughed when they heard the words, and some frowned.

The first three are not as simple as Wu Changyun said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about such complicated things." Wu Mengyu said to smooth things over.

However, Du Qifeng took this opportunity to call Wu Changyun aside, and asked him, "Do you know something? You deliberately put Ding Pei in Xu Guanwen's new movie, is it to disrupt them? Or are you planning to smash your own foot?"

"Do I seem that stupid?"

"Don't laugh, you're crazy, and there's a reason to help outsiders?" Du Qifeng took this problem very seriously. When he was in contact with Wu Changyun, Du Qifeng also found that Wu Changyun seemed to have the ability to distinguish a movie's box office. bad ability.

"No, you can't hide from those who should come."

"You! It seems you are real."

This conversation further confirmed Du Qifeng's thoughts, but because of all these reasons, it was just that Wu Changyun had a different vision than ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that it was worthy of him to reprimand Wu Changyun.

"I know you are discerning and sophisticated, but you passed on our actors to others." Du Qifeng was still unwilling to accept it. Although Ding Bi was involved in Bruce Lee, he was a sensitive topic.

But she is undoubtedly also a sexy goddess of the generation, and the most popular thing at the moment is sexy.

Wu Changyun finally fooled Du Qifeng, and he followed the whole scene.

The next day will be filming Zhou Runfa's shootout scene. Various props must be prepared in advance, and local group performances and venues must be coordinated.

Although it is a night scene, Wu Changyun also came to the venue early in the morning. This is a rather old nightclub. Many places in the venue are illuminated, and the overall look is very dark.

It is undoubtedly impossible to shoot in such an environment. As soon as Wu Changyun walked in, there was a damp smell in the air, and the floor under his feet was also gray.

"Buy a carpet to cover it first, what's going on with this place." Wu Changyun said, covering his nose.

Inside, the props team is working on the lighting problem. The solution they tried was to install a set of fill lights above their heads and use strong light to illuminate the entire venue.

The walls of the hallway are white, so this lighting shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Wu Changyun walked into the box. For the convenience of some customers, the lighting here was not satisfactory.

"Tear it down and replace it." Wu Changyun said, pointing to the ceiling.

Including the placement of the vases and the attire of the waiters, in order to make the waiters more ceremonial when serving the fruit plate, the props team specially bought a new silver lace plate.

After all the preparations were done, it was almost night. In fact, it seemed that the staff arrived very early every time, and the time was just enough.

Wu Changyun sat in a cart, which was connected to the slide rails laid on the ground, and the camera was controlled by the cameraman. Wu Changyun only had to watch the monitor screen to ensure that everything was under his control.

There was a "snap" on the slate, and the machine was officially turned on.

The camera advances with Zhou Runfa's appearance, and after the other party enters the nightclub, the whole scene is shot around Zhou Runfa.

It was originally a heroic scene, but Zhou Runfa's handsomeness stood out.

Wu Changyun felt dissatisfied with continuous shooting of both sides.

"The lens is not right, and it is not coherent."

Looking at the footage, Wu Changyun always felt like it was stuck, and it felt like it was pieced together, but what exactly was the problem?

Looking at the shooting location and pictures, Wu Changyun finally discovered the reason.

The field is too bright and it doesn't look good on camera.

Now we are faced with a problem. If we adjust the lighting again, we may have to wait until midnight before we can continue shooting. The actors have been shooting for a whole day, and they will feel a little emotional if they continue like this.

"Stop it."

Wu Changyun stopped the filming, and this day was completely wasted.

Hong Kong films in the 70s lacked the art of shooting, but some directors were very professional in the subject of using light, and Du Qifeng also liked to work hard on using light.

Wu Changyun is not the case, good content is the foundation of everything.

As for the light, Wu Changyun tried to restore the most realistic experience, but this time it looked terrible.

Just when Wu Changyun was about to go back home, he suddenly received a call from Mo Yuxuan, who wanted to invite Wu Changyun to join a private club.
