Chapter 83 Eye-Opening (3/4)
"Click!"
Shen Changlin shouted stop with satisfaction...
Chang Wei came over and said, "Director, is this all you need for the role?"
“That’s enough in the easter egg!”
"When will the second part be filmed?"
"The script has been completed. If nothing else happens, the filming of "Revenge" will start after it is released in August next year."
Well, the revenge scene in "The Treasure Hunt" was arranged by Shen Changlin in the second part...
He felt that a gangster film should not only tell the story of stealing, but also include emotional scenes and revenge.
Too scattered!
"Treasure Hunting Alliance" has two teams, China and South Korea. The two teams are divided into several small groups. Everyone in the small groups has their own small calculations. Various cooperation and struggles between the small groups...
It’s already quite interesting!
The revenge line can be left at the end, but it should not be overwhelming.
Moreover, for a commercial film, 110 minutes is enough!
Simon Yam and Chang Wei make cameo appearances, and then leave.
Then, "The Treasure Hunt" transitioned to Huairou's studio...
A big-budget movie with an investment of over 100 million, such as "The Treasure Hunt", must have several big scenes to stimulate the audience's attention.
These big scenes are often where money is burned.
It is also a place where the director’s coordination ability is tested.
In fact, commercial films, especially those with big productions and big casts, are more difficult to shoot than independent, low-budget films.
A good literary and artistic film director only needs to take care of his own heart. At most, he can use his own literary and artistic emotions to resonate with moviegoers.
What about large-scale commercial films?
Shot scheduling, aerial photography, post-production CG...
It’s far more difficult than an independent film…
However, at this stage, most expensive scenes can be synthesized in post-production, and there is no need to build various scenes like in "War and Peace".
——The Soviet version of "War and Peace" cost as much as 560 million US dollars, making it the most expensive film in film history. The filming of the film received strong assistance from the Soviet military. In the history of world film, this film used the most extras. One of the videos.
The largest set was a large set with an area of 100,000 square meters built for filming the Moscow fire. Other giant outdoor locations include: the Kremlin, downtown Moscow, Russian military camps, gardens of Russian nobles, etc.
Of course, it was all burned in the end!
Many sets can be built in the studio, and they can be replaced with Bangkok later...
Of course, before you leave, you still have to keep the appointments you have to keep - you are filming on someone else's property and have turned them down several times. Is that cool?
…
Many people know King He Gambling and wonder why he is a guest.
Because the people who open casinos get customers from all over the world, in addition to gambling, they can also do other businesses. For example, they need to transport some cigars and other high-profit items to South America. If He Gambling King connects with them, he can become a serious business!
There was even a time when a prince from a small country came to gamble. In the end, he was connected by the gambling king, and he met the senior officials directly. In the past, he built high-speed infrastructure for his country and did tens of billions of business.
This is called special talent!
Washing rice flower is different...
He only makes money.
The location is Lakeside Mandarin Oriental Hotel No.1.
I thought it was a yacht!
Because of rumors in the world, many wealthy people from the mainland come to Macau. They receive rice-washed receptions and one-stop services, including women, houses, cars, yachts, parties...
Indulge in money, live in debauchery, live in extravagance...
It seems that Shen Changlin hasn't gotten on the line yet.
Went directly upstairs to the outdoor restaurant, where a man was already sitting there.
He originally thought that Xi Mihua would set the meeting place at the Grand Lisboa Hotel - he had always wanted to go and see it.
There is a spectacular Jinshan statue in the Grand Lisboa lobby. In addition, there are imitations of horse heads from the Old Summer Palace, gold carvings, jade carvings, ivory carvings and other rare treasures...
I wanted to check in but never had time!
After all, he came to Macau specifically for photography, not tourism.
Ximeihua... is very dark, does look a bit like Gu Tianzhu, very masculine...
But there were two young models sitting next to him.
"Mr. Shen!"
“…Boss Zhou!”
"I've always wanted to see Mr. Shen with my own eyes. I've seen all of your movies!"
As he spoke, he motioned to the young model next to him to sit over...
"No need...I'm not used to that!"
"Habits have to be cultivated..."
"Director Shen, don't be shy..."
Shen Changlin was speechless: "I'm not shy...I really don't have this habit!"
After emphasizing another sentence, Xi Mihua signaled the young model to step back...
Although this place is huge, there is no guarantee that there will be no surveillance. It would be very embarrassing if something ugly was captured!
…
“It was only in 1989 that Macao had its first feature film produced and produced by Macao residents, “The Night Robbers at the Princess’s Tomb,” and in 1996 another film reflecting Macao’s local culture, “The Temptation of Big Braid,” was filmed… Macao Film The industry cannot develop!”
"..."The Night Robbery of the Princess's Tomb" I know this play..."
But Shen Changlin really didn’t know that this was produced by Macau people!
It seems that Xi Mihua has really put in a lot of effort!
Well, no need to work on it because...just these two movies...
"For a film to be born and produce social effects, it must meet four conditions, namely script, talent, funding and distribution venue. The local market of Macao does not have these conditions, so I cooperated with Hong Kong people... However, the mainland market That’s the foundation!”
Shen Changlin changed the topic: "Actually, Macau can have an awards ceremony... Today's Academy Awards are stuck in their own ways, and the Golden Horse Awards are a bit petty. If Macau can take advantage of this situation to create a film festival, I think this will be a good opportunity for Chinese films. "
"Film festival?"
"right…"
Ximihua was stunned for a moment, then said: "We already have the Golden Lotus Award!"
"That's a joke!"
The Golden Lotus Award is indeed a joke. The Best Film was awarded to "About Us" and "Magic", and the Best Film Producer was awarded to Shi Jianxiang. By the way, Liu Qianqian also won the Golden Lotus Award for Best Actress. !
Shen Changlin talked a lot about the benefits of holding a film festival, taking Cannes as an example...
How did Cannes, a small French city, become famous all over the world?
It’s not just the Cannes International Film Festival!
Ximihua was a little impatient and simply confessed: "I...actually don't have much interest in making movies. I..."
We don’t have the courage to suppress bandits, but we do have the courage to make money by suppressing bandits, and it’s very big!
Shen Changlin kept smiling and listened to Ximihua talk about his close friends, many of whom he had heard of, such as the second generation rich, the third generation rich, and even the third generation power...
Showing your connections probably means flexing your muscles.
Seeing that Shen Changlin was listening with great interest, he added: "I know you are worried about me using your movies to launder money... Don't worry, this method of money laundering in movies is too low!"
Shen Changlin said nothing, thinking, 'I mainly don't want to have anything to do with you'...
Chapter completed!
