Chapter 337: One will become famous and thousands of bones will wither
An izakaya in South Korea has now been booked by the crew of "Flash Chase 3". Rong Guang is accompanying a group of Westerners, who are drinking wine. They are reunited after a long absence. Many of them are friends they met in Hollywood.
This time the budget is sufficient, so there is no need to save money on Rongguang. The director's assistant is Billy from Hollywood. He actually performs part of the director's work and is also responsible for a film crew. After all, there will be many Western actors and staff, and they communicate
It is more convenient to get up. There are also speeding stunts, which are also performed by several Hollywood stuntmen.
In addition to these Hollywood stuntmen, Hong Kong's Qian Jiaban was also invited. In terms of action design, Yuan Baye is of course the best, but when it comes to speeding, the Chinese entertainment industry still has to look to Qian Jiaban.
There is nothing we can do about this situation. The mainland is completely blank, and you can't find a direction if you want to train yourself. How many people have a driver's license now? Not to mention speeding.
The founder of Qian Family Class is Qian Jiale. He and his brother Qian Xiaohao are both old faces in Hong Kong movies. They often appear in the film, and everyone who sees them will be familiar. But Qian Jiale is more famous for his martial arts.
Especially speeding cars. What's more interesting is that many of the members are directly recruited from the street, they are the group of speed racing gangs.
"Billy, shooting in South Korea is relatively simple. After completing the first few sets of shots, you rushed to Okinawa in advance. I don't know how the modification of the car will go, so you can report to me at any time."
Although Japan and South Korea are unhappy with each other, they are very honest. A certain brand of cars in this book provided a large amount of sponsorship, and more than a dozen cars were sent for modification. There are also many other Japanese and Korean sponsors.
, just to show a small face in the film.
In order to save costs and also for the special effects of 50 cents, some things are actually quite troublesome.
For example, in China, an abandoned site was also used to build a location, and more than 60 scrapped vehicles were modified for the special effects of collisions, rolls, explosions, etc. in "Lightning Chase 3" and "Speed".
However, Hollywood's regulations are very strict. In order to protect the stunt driver, scrap cars must not be used, and the safety performance must meet the qualified standards!
Come on! There's no one inside, and everything is controlled remotely by a dummy? But the Hollywood union just doesn't allow it. They don't care anyway, they just want one-size-fits-all!
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Those stunt drivers in Hollywood simply did not go to the country and pretended that they did not know. The ordinary driving was left to the Qian family. It was just a fool.
In fact, the same is true for Hollywood production crews. They will also cheat like this. And they can make a payment and the interested parties can share it privately. Anyway, everyone understands it, and this has become a kind of industry rule.
Just like the villa rented at a high price in "Parasite", wouldn't Harvey Weinstein, a man who cares about money, still keep his eyes open and his eyes closed?
"Billy, do you have any questions?" Rong Guang asked with a smile.
Billy is a white man of Latin descent. He was obviously drunk: "Rong, I found that your crew management is better than that of Hollywood. Everything is smooth and I feel very comfortable. The director only needs to concentrate on filming, and the actors only need to focus on filming."
Concentrate on the performance.”
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. The big Hollywood crew is not bad either."
To be honest, the crew positions generally require experience points, the age structure is relatively older, and the ideas are more conservative. Since we have entered the digital age, they are gradually falling behind. They don’t understand computers and the Internet at all, and they are even quite resistant. In addition,
The people in this group are all crew members, and they are somewhat out of touch with society, making it harder for them to accept new things.
On the contrary, China was a blank slate, and it was easier for Rong Guang to establish a modern crew management system.
The big Hollywood crews can indeed do it. Even if the major studios don’t understand it themselves, they have the money to hire people?
Billy complained: "I'm talking about the bad crew! When I make money this time, I'm going to make an independent movie. I'm just afraid of meeting those bad people, because there's my money in it!"
"Haha." Rong Guang was happy, "I have published a paper publicly, and I will send you an English version when the time comes. It is about the management system. It is included in the crew structure. You can control the specific details by yourself!"
"Oh? Thank you so much, Rong!" Billy's eyes lit up, he picked up the wine glass and toasted...
Anyway, this is a public paper, so you might as well be accommodating. Of course, I won't teach you the specific details. It just depends on how much Billy can understand.
…
At the same time, Liu Rongrong was receiving Wei Guoquan and Dong Yiya... they should be considered a young couple, right?
Liu Rongrong greeted with a smile: "You two, please sit down quickly. I have something to do with you today."
Wei Guoquan and Dong Yiya were confused: "Sister Xiaorong, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Wei, let me tell you first. Mr. Guang has seen the finished film and thinks you did a good job. The most important thing now is the pre-publicity. You guys must cooperate well with Bona. Also, try to get 10% for you during the film arrangement.
above."
Wei Guoquan's face lit up: "That's great."
It is definitely a surprise that a semi-documentary can get more than 10% of the film schedule.
In fact, after watching the film, Rong Guang felt his eyes light up. The script itself is good, and Xiao Yanliang, the traitor, is indeed a crooked talent. The performances of several actors are also impeccable, after all, they are famous.
What's even more gratifying is that Wei Guoquan has maintained the good tradition of mainland academics - the shots are beautiful!
Just like Zhang Yimou, the leader of the academic school, looking around the world, as long as it comes to the lens aesthetics of big scenes, he humbles himself as the second best, and no one dares to say that he is the first!
Wei Guoquan and Dong Yiya were happy when Liu Rongrong suddenly asked with a smile: "Xiao Wei, have you considered your future development path?"
"Huh?" Wei Guoquan was surprised.
Liu Rongrong said: "We are all our own people here, and we can talk openly. For a young director like you, even if "Scent of the House" is a hit, he still won't get much fame. You only have two paths to choose: one is to
My own screenwriter is confident. Come up with a wonderful script and make a blockbuster work. In this regard, we can support you, and we will give you three chances according to Zhao Mengzi's practice!"
This path is actually the path to fame for three famous young directors. No matter how the script came about, they did achieve a blockbuster success.
But there is a survivor bias here. Among the young directors of the same generation, only three of them got ahead in the end. There were not hundreds of them, right? At least it was more than a hundred!
These are the ones who found big names and took pictures. There are also those who died halfway. I don’t know how many there were.
Chapter completed!
