Chapter 804 Ready to Go (Part 1)

"You don't need to worry about this. Whether it can work or not, the first factor is the quality of our movie." Yin Jun looked at them and smiled, "So the most important thing is to make the movie good."

"yes!"

The two of them nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Mr. Jun, we will do our best to assist you."

Whether to make money or not is a decision-making issue for the boss, but it is also a matter of the ability of their subordinates.

If they can do their best to help Yin Jun make a good movie, then the box office of the movie will definitely be much better. On the contrary, if they give up on themselves, they will suffer even more losses.

Moreover, both of them know that Yin Jun's net worth exceeds 4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if he loses tens of millions, it will not be a big deal for him, and their work will not be further affected.

On the contrary, if because of this loss, Yin Jun wakes up and stops making big productions, and just makes his previous comedies and dramas, it will definitely be a good thing for Qilin Films.

"As for the photographer, Brother Wen has been watching the filming of "Prison." Director Lin is very strict. I'm afraid he won't be able to get away." Next, Wen Jun reported another story "So I found several other capable photographers with free time for you. One is called Huang Yuehuang, who is 25 years old this year. His father Huang Jie was a very famous photographer in the 1950s and 1960s. This guy was more than ten years old. I have been playing with video cameras since I was 2 years old, and I have a lot of experience.

The other one is Gu Guohua, 26 years old. He has been following ATV's McDonald's Bear for five years. In the past two years, he has directed all the McDonald's Bear TV series. You also know that McDonald's TV series style is very sharp. I watched several of his TV series and found that the shooting style was very suitable for our hot action scenes.

The third photographer is Ao Zijun, who is a representative of Xingchao film photography. His lens language is very delicate and clean. However, his style is more flamboyant and tends to be literary, so I'm afraid he doesn't have a good grasp of the rhythm of such a hot action movie. In my opinion, the first two people should be more suitable. "

Yin Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Wen Xiaopang is indeed one of the most discerning and outstanding filmmakers in Hong Kong.

Although I have only been involved in the film industry for a few years, and it has been less than a year since I officially entered this high-level film industry, my grasp of the current Hong Kong film industry is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Look at the people he recommended!

Nine-time winner of the Hong Kong Film Awards and the founder of Hong Kong photographers - Huang Yuehuang.

Three-time Academy Award winner, Ao Zijun is the master of classics like Young and Dangerous.

The first person in Hong Kong to be famous for his sharp shots, tracking shots and panning shots are no less impressive than Liu Weiqiang. Gu Guohua shocked the whole of Hong Kong with the movie "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers"!

Among the three, Huang Yuehuang claims that he can make any kind of film, and there will definitely be no problem filming "Speed".

Although Ao Zijun has profound skills, his personality traits are not suitable for such an intense and compact situation.

Although the remaining Gu Guohua is the least famous among the three, his shooting style is exactly what "Speed" needs most!

Take "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" as an example. This movie with a strong McDonald's style almost won the annual box office championship in Hong Kong. Of course, McDonald's played the biggest role in this, but Gu Guohua's shooting skills are Indispensable contribution.

Especially the final scene of the Kowloon Walled City battle is completely beyond the Hong Kong action and shootout films. It is full of tense and exciting rhythm, and gives people a hearty feeling when watching the movie. This is the ancient country. Hua used his own unique skills to take pictures that no one else can do.

In Yin Jun's mind, before the 1990s, the only thing that could compare with this drama was the opening and closing scenes of Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Chow Yun-fat's "Hot Detective". The shootout in the tea house and the decisive battle in the hospital were equally stunning, and they were completely the work of these two movie kings. Peak performance.

Oh, by the way, Huang Yongheng, who shot these two scenes, is now working as a photography assistant with Huang Yuehuang, and has not officially made his debut yet.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Jun raised his head and said, "Let's do this. Find all three of them."

"What?" Wen Jun was surprised, "Are you asking three of them for the interview? Or are you using all three?"

"Use all three." Yin Jun said with a smile, "I have a lot of ideas for this movie. One camera crew is definitely not enough, so let's use a few more! Let each of their teams be responsible for a set of shots, and shoot like this Come down and the effect will be better!"

Wen Xiaopang wanted to ask if this was too wasteful.

Three crews represent three teams, which means that the expenditure on photography has tripled at once, and the effect is not necessarily better than one crew.

But when the words came to his lips, Wen Jun still didn't dare to say them out.

Yin Jun is the boss of the company, the director and producer of "Speed", and the number one talented screenwriter in Hong Kong.

With such a famous name, he, a layman, came to point out to Yin Jun and said, Boss, you are too wasteful. Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?

In contrast, Yuan Kui nodded secretly.

Yuan Kui actually has a lot of research on some European and American movies, otherwise he would not be outstanding and go to Hollywood to be a director in the future. Although he is only second-rate, he is definitely the pride of Hong Kong filmmakers.

In Hollywood, this kind of simultaneous shooting with multiple crews is nothing new. However, in Hong Kong, due to cost factors and differences in production sophistication, there is no such multi-crew shooting at all.

Yin Jun's persistence just proves that he is very ambitious for "Speed" and has given it deep consideration - Yuan Kui, who has read and studied the script, knows that action scenes are the key to the success of this movie. The key is, how to shoot action scenes, the element of the photographer is very important.

The emergence of multi-crew shooting undoubtedly adds an extra layer of insurance to exciting action scenes.

In fact, neither of them knew that Yin Jun learned from Old Monster Xu.

Back when Mr. Xu was filming the sensational "Once Upon a Time in the World", six or seven crews were used to shoot it, and all of them were well-known people.

Huang Yuehuang, Zhong Zhiwen, Huang Zhongbiao and other famous photographers are all there.

It is precisely because of their efforts that the unrestrained and fierce kung fu in "Once Upon a Time" can be displayed so vividly and make people excited to watch it. Jet Li has thus established his status as a super-star in commercial blockbusters.

"Speed" is far more important than "Once Upon a Time".

If it weren't for the fact that many important photographers hadn't appeared in 1981, Yin Jun would have used six or seven crews to shoot without hesitation.

Among the three great photography masters in Hong Kong, except for Huang Yuehuang, "Chinese with skin disease" Du Feng is currently studying in Baodao, and Oscar winner Bao Dexi is studying in the United States and cannot come over.

As for those rising stars, it is even less important to use them seriously.

Photography is a matter of firstly talent and secondly, long-term practice with machines before you can develop good skills.

The three photography masters above all have more than three to five years of work experience and are very talented people themselves, so Yin Jun chose them.

As for whether they are willing to come, Yin Jun is not worried at all.

When people in Xiangjiang do work, the first factor is money, and the second factor is reputation.

Yin Jun can pay them enough, and "Speed" is a movie with an investment of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. No matter who is involved in it, they have great qualifications. How can they worry that they will not come?

Wen Jun also understood this truth and nodded immediately, saying that he would coordinate the schedules of their three crews.

After seeing what he had said, Yuan Kui raised his own question again, "Master Jun, although the editing is post-production, I think we should find good people in advance and let them shoot with the crew and come every day. Collecting and organizing materials will be more helpful for our shooting.”

Yin Jun nodded slightly, "Who do you think is better?"

"Mai Zishan and Zhang Yaozong are both very good people." Yuan Kui said, "It's just that when it comes to editing, there's no way to use several editors at the same time. You still have to work with them based on the needs of "Speed ​​of Life" and their own characteristics. It’s better to make the decision.”

He was afraid that Yin Jun would directly say "the two of them will edit together" for the sake of a big production, so he directly mentioned it first.

However, there is no need for him to emphasize this, Yin Jun naturally understands it.

Moreover, the two candidates Yuan Kui mentioned happened to be Yin Jun's second choice.

When Yin Jun watched "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" for the first time, he didn't quite understand the meaning, but just for this movie, it was very experienced.

With this film alone, McDonald's is enough to become Hong Kong's most internationally visionary film master.

But the team behind the scenes is also very important.

As mentioned earlier, the cinematography was done by Gu Guohua, and the editor was Zhang Yaozong. The integration and prominence of rhythm, picture, atmosphere and other aspects depended heavily on Zhang Yaozong's careful editing.

The second wheat meal is more famous than Zhang Yaozong.

The stunning scenes in "Once Upon a Time" and the thrilling 45-minute shootout at the beginning and 45 minutes in another Yin Jun's favorite "Hot Detective" were also carefully edited by Mai Zishan.

Among the four major editors in Hong Kong, these two are the best at making action films. No matter who they are, they will not disgrace "Speed".

But if you look at it combined with the plot and rhythm of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", Yin Jun has already developed a tendency.

Zhang Yaozong.

Mai Zishan's ability is outstanding, but he is different from Zhang Yaozong in handling the details of action scenes.

Maizishan is better at films with a bright and sunny style, as well as tight action and psychological emotions, and his style of expression is more free and easy.

Zhang Yaozong's attention is more focused on the action scenes themselves, and he is especially good at movies with intense gun fights, and is well-known for his reputation.

Zhang Yaozong's brother Zhang Yaozong is basically Cheng Long's royal photographer and one of the super photographers in Hong Kong. Because of this factor, he himself has collaborated many times with action superstars such as Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

"Police Story", "Food Truck", "Lucky Star Series", "Eagle Project", "Crime Unit", "Red Zone", "Royal Senior Sister", "A Good Man", "Who Am I" …

As long as the three classic action movies made by Cheng Long in Hollywood were all edited by Zhang Yaozong, Yin Jun should trust him and expect him to edit movies that suit the appetite of most audiences around the world.

"Speed" is originally such a movie that emphasizes action and thrills. It is not a literary film, so of course it needs a style like Zhang Yaozong's!

If a movie is understood by local people, it is not considered a hero.

Only when most movie fans around the world understand it can it be considered a real success!

In the "history" of his previous life, Cheng Long became the number one superstar in China just because he achieved this step.

none of them! !
