Chapter 805 Ready to Go (Part 2)

"Are you in good contact with the Hong Kong government, the airport, the MTR Corporation and the police?"

After the two of them took a sip of tea and rested for a while, Yin Jun began to ask his questions.

"Basically there is no problem." Wen Jun said quickly, "That is to say, there are concerns at the airport about whether our shooting like this will have an impact on the airport. But we also have acquaintances here, and we have actively communicated and told In fact, their filming at the airport would not have anything to do with the plane explosion, but the bus would be there for real-life filming, so they agreed, but asked to send someone to follow.

The subway is a bit simpler. We just shot some shots of their operations. We mostly made models and built our own stages, which didn't have much to do with them. On the contrary, Jun Shao, your movie will have a lot of their subway logos, which is also a publicity for the Xiangjiang Metro Company, which of course they want.

As for the final Hong Kong government and police force, they have also agreed to vigorously assist you. After all, the Kirin Group has given them so many donations. The call to the Flying Tigers has also been approved, and they will actively cooperate with us in directing the filming. In fact, as early as two months ago, Fei Xiang and Eddie Murphy had already entered the Flying Tigers for training and suffered a lot. of suffering. "

He talked about the male protagonist and the supporting role, and Yin Jun asked casually, "So, what are the results of their training?"

"Both of them have good attitudes, but they have no experience at all before, so injuries are inevitable." Wen Jun said, "I went to see them several times. They had no temperament at the beginning, but now they have changed." He has a very military feel. Although he cannot fully become a qualified member of the Flying Tigers, his performance is definitely similar and makes people feel that there is nothing picky about him."

"That's good."

Yin Jun smiled.

When people in Hong Kong make movies, they rarely make various speculations about a certain profession. They basically rely on the individual acting skills of the actors.

Therefore, capable stars naturally act vividly and gain both fame and fortune, but actors without talent act very out of place and have no sense of immersion at all.

This is also true for Andy Lau. In the past 15 years of acting in movies, he had no acting skills at all. He relied on his handsome face to act cool. That is, as he got older, he worked hard to improve his acting skills, and he later became the best actor.

In this regard, Yin Jun admires the Sunglasses King very much.

The King of Sunglasses has never known what efficiency means when making movies, and he also likes to be filmed in whatever role he likes the most. He just blends in with the role. It is best if you are him (her).

Liang Chaowei was forced to become a melancholy boy by him in this way, and he almost couldn't get out many times.

Zhang Manyu's character in "In the Mood for Love", you see her wearing dozens of sets of cheongsam, she is very beautiful, right?

But in order to wear these cheongsams and get the feeling of wearing them, she kept trying and figuring them out in front of the mirror all day long. The preparation lasted for several months, and she almost threw up.

Then there is also the fact that Zhang Zhen also learned Bajiquan at an expert level because of the role of Bajiquan in "The Grandmaster".

These are the reasons why even if you don’t understand Sunglasses King’s movies, you will always find beauty in them.

The same is true for many performers in Europe and the United States.

It is not uncommon to experience a required role for several months.

Yin Jun doesn't ask for how long it takes for every actor to actually experience the movie he makes, but at least you have to look the part.

The reason why Xiangjiang movies were so popular and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people during the golden decade of 1985-94 was not because their actors were so dedicated, but because many actors performed in their true colors!

For example, those who perform in the club are from the club themselves. Do you think they will perform well?

Another example is Li Xiuxian, who is a professional imitator of police officers, so the police officer he plays is just like a real police officer!

And in this era, Xiangjiang movies are basically realistic. Whether they are movies based on police movies, Independent Commission Against Corruption, lame heroes and other related terms, there are many prototypes, which will give people the same sense of reality.

Once they break away from the glory of Xiangjiang movies during this period and turn to the time when they need to rely on scripts and acting skills, they will not be able to do it. The shortcomings of no lines, no acting skills, and no control will be infinitely magnified. This naturally caused a big decline in Xiangjiang movies, and finally led to a lonely road of no return.

Fortunately, Yin Jun returned to 1978, not 1988.

In that era when Xiangjiang movies had taken shape and were irresistible, no matter how prestigious Yin Jun was, he could not resist the desire of filmmakers like them for money and stop them from making those bad movies.

In 1978, and even now in 1981, Hong Kong movies have just started, and a group of superstars have not yet grown up. Even Chow Yun-fat, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao have not completely come to the fore, let alone the younger generation Liu Dehua and Liang Chao. Wei et al.

So Yin Jun still has the opportunity to teach the Xiangjiang entertainment industry and let them go on the right path, instead of being so eager for quick success and squeezing out the potential of Xiangjiang movies and then disbanding in a swarm.

Another point worth mentioning is that it was only after Xiangjiang Movies was ruined by this group of people that they left Xiangjiang and the entertainment industry. It was not because of their departure that Xiangjiang Movies ended.

The causal relationship here must not be reversed.

When Yin Jun made "Speed ​​of Life and Death", he first set a benchmark for everyone and let them know what a truly thoughtful movie is.

Not only this one, but all future films produced by Kirin Films will definitely have good preparation plans. No matter the actors or directors, costumes, special effects, etc., they must be ready before filming can begin.

This is actually the process of making a big production in Hollywood.

It usually takes a year or two to make a big-budget movie in Hollywood. In fact, the time is almost spent from beginning to end - the preparation in the front and the post-production.

The actual filming time is usually two or three months, and rarely more than half a year.

Preparation and post-production are a little better, but when filming, every day, every minute, there are hundreds or thousands of people counting wages, which is a big burden for any film company. , so they tried their best to keep the shooting time as short as possible.

"As for the heroine..." Wen Jun glanced at Yin Jun quietly and said: "Miss Zhong has already figured out the script very well. She has also studied the script with Fei Xiang... But don't worry, there are crews around. The staff is here. Fei Xiang knows the rules and doesn’t have any extra thoughts."

Everyone knows that Zhong Chuhong and Yin Jun have a close relationship.

Back then, Yin Jun almost took on the He family, the first family in Xiangjiang, for Zhong Chuhong. This incident caused quite a stir.

If Yin Jun hadn't been strong enough, I'm afraid he would have been pressed down by the He family.

Although everyone can now see that Zhong Chuhong and Yin Jun are having an argument, no one dares to harass Zhong Chuhong even so. The crew members all treat her like another boss lady.

In fact, Fei Xiang was still a little confused at the beginning.

Because he was from Baodao and had just returned from the United States. He was recruited by Yin Jun just after he entered the entertainment industry. He didn't know anything about the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang.

Since Yin Jun selected Fei Xiang to play the leading role, and it was a big production worth 100 million Hong Kong dollars, he felt a little carried away. When he saw the beautiful girl Zhong Chuhong starring as the heroine in the film, he naturally had other thoughts.

After all, Fei Xiang's father is American, so he naturally prides himself on being romantic and affectionate.

But he was so thoughtful. Before he even had time to invite Zhong Chuhong to dinner, Wen Jun pulled him over and said a few words. After he came back, he didn't dare to show any frivolous expression at all. He was naturally respectful to Zhong Chuhong. add.

This is also nonsense.

No one who knows that Zhong Chuhong is the boss's woman would dare to harass her anymore, let alone Fei Xiang, who is nothing.

It was Wen Jun who scolded him, and he finally understood why when he first received the script, all the intimate scenes were shot with stand-ins or out of position; why Zhong Chuhong was so respected and even awed by the crew.

Fei Xiang was a smart man and could tell the truth immediately. Naturally, Wen Jun didn't care too much and didn't mention it to Yin Jun, so as not to offend Yin Jun. The chosen actor had to be replaced.

As everyone knows, even if Yin Jun knew about this, he would not replace Fei Xiang because of this, after all, he did nothing.

Therefore, Wen Jun specially explained something, but Yin Jun smiled and didn't care, "In that case, let's prepare for the official launch on Thursday, February 26th!"

"yes!"

Wen Jun and Yuan Kui both had smiles on their faces.

After preparing for so long and spending so much money, they were finally able to officially start shooting, which gave them a feeling that they were about to succeed.

Yin Jun is a hands-off shopkeeper. As long as he gives the necessary instructions, he doesn't care about anything else.

In addition to coordinating the crew's preliminary preparations, various special effects preparations, etc., they also have many other chores.

For example, Yin Jun said that the camera used for this shooting must be the most advanced one, so Wen Jun sent three groups of people to Japan to buy it, and finally selected the latest camera from Sony.

When Yin Jun took it back, he took a look at it and discussed it with Zhong Zhiwen. He immediately waved his hand and asked him to buy 11 more units in one go.

Wen Jun really couldn't laugh or cry at that time. With the spare ones, two or three cameras are enough for a movie. Aren't these 12 cameras of yours a waste?

But only now did Wen Jun understand that Yin Jun had already planned to shoot with multiple crews at the same time.

Being able to design such detailed details before filming a movie, Yin Jun's title as a genius boy is indeed well-deserved!
