Chapter 845 Harsh Meaning

After more than three weeks of hard work, the entire crew was already running smoothly.

After experiencing such an accident, everyone became more careful, but the tacit understanding did not decrease.

Now that I have overcome the psychological barrier, the subsequent filming suddenly became smoother.

This scene in the subway was the last one that required the use of special effects. It was also the most difficult, complex, and dangerous.

In addition to Fei Xiang and Zeng Chang having to fight on the roof of the slowly moving carriage, in the end the hero was unable to rescue the heroine who was handcuffed to the carriage pillar. He could only hold her tightly and use the principles of collision and mechanics to help The scene where the heroine breaks free from the pillar.

The scene where the two of them hugged each other tightly in the car that swept across the subway platform, and the long shot followed the subway car as it flew out and flew directly to the street outside, is the most essential and addictive scene in the entire film.

But even for such a difficult scene, the crew completed filming within two weeks.

Although Fei Xiang was injured again during this period, he still had a bloody head and a bloody head. After only one day of rest, he was full of energy and devoted himself to the filming again.

Compared to before, when he almost thought he was going to be crippled, Fei Xiang, who was now courageous, looked exactly like a real member of the Flying Tigers, brave and strong, with eyes full of confidence and determination.

This happens to be the temperament Yin Jun needs him to show.

Therefore, in the subsequent scenes, a camera would follow Fei Xiang's face closely every time to capture more close-ups of him.

Anyway, Fei Xiang's handsomeness is appreciated by both the East and the West. I think the audience will be happy if we give such a handsome guy more close-ups.

Just like that, as we entered late April, when the last shot raised the camera angle to freeze the subway car and the cars colliding together, Yin Jun loudly shouted what everyone wanted to hear.

"I announce that "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is officially finished!"

"yeah……"

Even the most staid people couldn't help but cheer when they heard this.

The two months or so of filming was a very "painful" experience for any of them.

In Xiangjiang, even the most demanding Li Xiaolong has never made the crew so "uncomfortable".

Yin Jun is not as abusive as Li Xiaolong. Under normal circumstances, he will tell the truth and tell what is wrong, and then reshoot.

If he is still dissatisfied, he will go into action himself. Whether it is an actor or an actress, he will pick up the roles at his fingertips, and he will definitely be better than the actors whose mistakes he pointed out.

This makes many people feel that Yin Jun, Asia's number one screenwriter, is absolutely obsessed with writing scripts.

These lens languages ​​must have already formed a movie in his mind.

Otherwise, how could it be so clear and skillful? It was as if it had been played out in his mind many times.

The key is that Yin Jun doesn't just work so hard on the set.

Generally, the studio ends around 6 o'clock.

For more than five hours after finishing work, Yin Jun sat in the editing room even if he ate a box lunch, discussing with Yuan Kui, Zhang Yaozong, and Huang Yuehuang about the scenes shot today, what choices should be made, and whether they should be taken. Add more lenses or something.

Then the next morning, Yin Jun usually arrives at the set at around 7 o'clock.

What shots are going to be shot today, whether any preparations have been made, and what other questions there are... Yin Jun will ask them one by one, and then urge them to get them done before shooting starts.

He made Wen Xiaopang very resentful.

You think.

The boss, director, and producer all came to the set early. Why do you, the set manager responsible for overall affairs, have any reason to come late?

So he could only grit his teeth, come to the set early at 7 o'clock, and start a busy day.

For this reason, Wen Xiaopang lost at least 8 pounds.

It's not just him, basically everyone on this set is not thin.

But they couldn't complain.

When you meet such a serious and obsessed director, what do you think you have to complain about?

I couldn't complain, so I had to bite the bullet and follow Yin Jun.

If Yin Jun was not the producer, producer, and director of "Speed", if he was not the boss of Kirin Film Company, if he was not the boss of Kylin TV, if he was not one of the few super-rich people in Hong Kong, this crew would probably have at least One in five people cannot support it.

Making your movie is equivalent to the energy I put into making three or five movies in the past. Who would be happy?

That is to say, they were afraid that Yin Jun would ban them in the future, so both the actors and the production staff had no choice but to do it.

Even so, many people also plan to never collaborate with Yin Jun again after filming "Speed".

Even if he is pretending to be ill, he cannot take on Yin Jun's own crew.

As for the people who scolded Yin Jun as a devil on the set when a group of friends got together to drink after work every day, it wasn't just one or two people, let alone once or twice.

But now, listening to Yin Jun release "Finishing" and thinking about the hardships and trials of the past two months, many people unconsciously began to miss him, and felt a little reluctant in their hearts.

In fact, by now, anyone who is not too stupid or lazy has realized that he has made a lot of improvements after making such a movie.

Take actors for example.

In the past, more Xiangjiang actors performed in their true colors.

That's what my personality and actions are like, and that's how my performance will be.

But in Yin Jun's crew, whether you are a protagonist or a supporting role, as long as you fail to meet his requirements, he will come over and teach you step by step. Whether it is eyes, movements, or various methods to express inner emotions, he is careful The explanations and personal demonstrations will be given so that you can see clearly.

After studying like this a few times, everyone will naturally master it, and then they will naturally improve if they continue to practice this way.

Wait.

Isn’t this an action-packed blockbuster?

Why do you still pay attention to details like a literary film?

Isn't it changing to x?

of course not!

Action movies don't just rely on hot scenes and selling muscles.

The details inside are also very important.

Without the details and the wonderful performances of the actors, even Michael Bay's film would be just popcorn.

Also take fried clams as an example.

Although his "Transformers" series has grossed billions of dollars at the global box office, how many people think that "Transformers" is better than his debut film, "Jedi Men"?

Could it be that "Jedi Men" is so good because of the two policemen's desperate fight against gangsters?

Certainly not!

What makes it so good lies more in the wonderful performances of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Their mutual acting skills make the film unexpectedly exciting.

Even in "Speed", Keanu Reeves, who was at the peak of his appearance, performed outstandingly in several key scenes. Sandra, the future Oscar-winning actress, also fulfilled her role very well. mission, and the excellent background of the villain... and other factors, this is what makes a good-looking action movie.

Therefore, hot action movies and good-looking hot action movies are two different things.

The various hot scenes are just the outside, the real attraction lies in the story and the actors' performances.

This is also the most important reason why many Hollywood special effects blockbusters have stopped selling well in China after 2016.

The Hollywood giants were stunned.

What happened?

How come Hollywood blockbusters, which were so invincible in conquering cities and territories in the past few years, failed in China?

Of course they will not understand that the audience living in a country with a long history of 5,000 years, after adapting to a certain thing, begins to pursue higher-level needs.

Pure beauties, handsome girls, and pure hot and thrilling special effects will naturally make you bored after watching them for a long time.

If the content is messy, it will cause the audience to give up directly due to the low reputation.

For example, the bomb-hit "Transformers 5" failed like this, didn't it? ——Well, although the results are also very good, compared with the previous results, they have really regressed a lot.

Not to mention Hollywood, Star Master, who is admired by countless audiences in mainland China, also suffered a huge failure after "The Mermaid" and in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"?

It was ambitious to hit a box office of at least 3 billion, but in the end it almost failed to reach even half of it.

This shows that after experiencing the initial spiritual hunger, mainland audiences will continue to have tastes, have their own choices, and have more ideas of their own, instead of seeing Hollywood blockbusters and Hong Kong. Just rush in and watch a big movie by a superstar.

Today's Xiangjiang movie fans are of course still in the same state as mainland audiences before 2016.

Basically, as long as it is a quality work, it can attract them to enter the cinema.

Even movies that make money can make a lot of money as long as a star is involved.

Because after Xiangjiang, there are still "silly" movie fans like Baodao, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand taking over.

If Yin Jun is willing, he can write a few movies at will, and then make a sequel every other year, until his return in 1997, and the box office will be pretty good.

But Yin Jun will never be like this.

It's just a script he wrote for others.

The movie he made was not only because of his own dreams, but also because he wanted to set a benchmark for Hong Kong movies.

He wants movie fans to see what a seriously made movie is.

As long as movie fans get used to the good movies produced by Yin Jun, do you think those crudely edited movies will still have the same market as in their previous lives?

This is just like "Jurassic Park" entering Hong Kong. As soon as the big dinosaur arrived, Hong Kong's bad movies started to wail, and the market immediately shrank significantly.

The reason is that simple.

I've already had a full banquet, and you bring a bowl of messy food over and coax me to eat it. Is this possible?

We are still in the initial stages of Hong Kong cinema.

Yin Jun wants to set standards and make Xiangjiang movies more sincere masterpieces that people can watch comfortably.

Only in this way can the brand of Xiangjiang Film be truly established, instead of being like the one in the previous life that once it became famous, it would swarm in all kinds of movies and never give up until it ruined the market.

Fortunately, there are only a few companies making films in Xiangjiang now. If it had been the 1990s, almost hundreds of film companies would have made films together, and funds from Baodao, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan would have all poured in. The demons were dancing wildly, and even Yin Jun couldn't suppress them at all.

Everything should be standardized at the beginning.

This is the reason why Yin Jun gave good scripts to Jiahe and New Art City.

Only when they taste the sweetness will they follow Yin Jun and be willing to make better films.

Because of the leading role of these giant companies and their influence on audiences in Hong Kong and even Asia, those small film companies will restrain their minds and make movies seriously.

At least tell the story well.

Right?

How can you make a good movie if you can't even tell a story?

Well, this is not just for Hong Kong and Hollywood movies, but also for mainland movies after 2016.
