230 Movie shooting starts(1/2)
Six hours later, Chu Qianqian left the Hong Kong Island Terminal, hailed a taxi, and immediately took off the sleeveless cashmere sweater he was wearing.
It was already past 10 pm when I got home. I had a night's rest and went to the film company early the next morning.
Seeing the boss back, everyone in the company finally breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao, Aji and others also came out of the training room immediately to see Chu Xiangqian.
"Boss, we have basically practiced the complete fighting routine you told us. How about you see the effect now?"
Chu Xiangqian was eager to come back. In addition to trading Bai Hu, he was naturally also concerned about the preparations for the movie.
Even though Guo Zhenhua and the others only practiced for about 10 days, they are the only ones who would train beforehand when filming a movie these days.
Most of the time, I am still watching the effects while filming, and now I am making corrections. Even the script is written while filming.
And many times, the director has a new idea and changes the script anytime and anywhere.
There are also some movies that have no script at all from the time they are set up.
But even so, Hong Kong Island can still occasionally release a movie that is a hit at the box office.
When Chu Xiangqian saw Guo Zhenhua, he looked very confident and naturally he would not refuse.
We went to the training ground together, and Uncle Hai and Sanjiang Shui had already returned to the company.
One reports on the film's fundraising situation during this period, where the funds were spent, the selection of studios, etc.
Another talked about the construction progress of the market next to the fire station.
When it was almost done, Guo Zhenhua was also ready.
The plot of The Snake is actually not complicated. It tells the story of the Eagle Claw Sect and the Serpentine Sect who have been hostile for generations, and both sides want to completely eradicate the other.
Ah Fu, a handyman in the martial arts school, first learned Snake Boxing under the instruction of Bai Changtian, the elder of the Serpentine Sect. Later, when he saw cats and snakes fighting each other, he was inspired by the wild cats and created his own Snake Sect, defeating the Eagle Claw Sect.
The story of the door owner.
As for the success of Uncle Long's movies, in addition to real fighting and a lot of adventurous action, humor is also one of the secrets of success.
Compared with this era of one-tap, one-step fighting, and humorless plots, Uncle Long's movies are indeed more attractive.
What Chu Xiangqian had to do was very simple, just copy the plot in his memory.
As a side note, the master of Shangguan Sect of Eagle Claw Sect in Snake Diao’s hands was later used as a reference by Dragon Ball.
Tao Baibai in the early stage is 90% similar to the master of the Eagle Claw Sect in the movie.
And the image of dumplings is based on the image of white noodles with two red circles on both sides of the cheeks in Hong Sanbao's "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts".
The old man who plays Drunken Master in The King of Fighters is also the original version of the old man in Uncle Long’s movie Drunken Master.
This character is actually very easy to find. Hong Zhennan’s disciple Aji not only found the old man, but also found the person who played the role of the master of the Eagle Claw Sect.
After more than a dozen fight rehearsals, Chu Xiangqian was basically sure that there would be no problem in starting filming.
Gathering the director and people behind the scenes together, Chu waved his palms forward and said, "Since we're almost done practicing, let's hold a start-up ceremony tomorrow."
Many people have been waiting for filming to support their families, and they immediately cheered when they heard this.
After discussing the details of the start of filming with the director and others, Chu Xiangqian took the entire crew to have a meal at Guangqiang, which immediately boosted their morale.
Early the next morning, Sanjiang Shui arrived early and was waiting outside the dry goods store. Chu Qianqian threw the car keys to him.
Sitting in the back seat, he asked, "Whose territory does the outfield we choose belong to, and how much is the fee?"
Sanjiang Shui said with a smile while driving, "Boss, I have already said hello to the people with Lian Sheng. The fee is 1,000. If someone makes trouble, they will be responsible for settling it.
Also, Deng Fei, the leader of 'He Lian Sheng', came to me twice and said he wanted to treat you to dinner, and the place would be a place with integrity."
Chu Qianqian sneered, Deng Fei couldn't afford to go early because he had no advantage. Before he returned to the capital last time, he heard Duan Hongchun from the Spine said that Deng Fei wanted to negotiate with other associations in Spine.
That guy wanted to use the remaining power he had just killed Lame Hao to support him.
"Tell him that I don't belong to any club, and I don't participate in He Lian Sheng or other clubs."
Sanjiang Shui nodded with some regret and agreed. If the junior brother is willing to pull the flag, hundreds of people can gather within a few days of keeping it.
With a few more majestic battles, not only can you easily occupy Yau Ma Tei, but your subordinates can also expand to thousands, or even more than two thousand, in a short period of time.
Chu Xiangqian knew very well that those who joined the club seemed to be making money like water, but the ceiling was very low.
In addition, the younger brother has to support himself, so the monthly fees, venue fees, etc. are basically all used on the younger brother.
If you want to make more money, you must resort to cheating, bullying, gambling, drug abuse, and other unscrupulous and smoky beheading businesses.
When he arrived at the set, Chu Xiangqian got his wish and saw Cao Dahua, who would lose all his hundreds of millions of net worth in the future.
Now Boss Cao is very proud of himself. Not only has he become famous early in his filming, but his business is also booming.
Even studios, a business that only movie tycoons can afford to lose in the eyes of people in this generation, can be built as soon as possible.
Chu Xiangqian wanted to win back the money and property that Boss Cao lost to the Macau hotel from the gambling table, but found that this guy was not addicted to gambling yet.
What really made him decline step by step was when Boss Cao took on the role of a gambler two years later. In order to express the reality of the plot character, he played the character well.
Boss Cao just went to Macau for the first time.
But I didn’t expect that when I first went there, I would win money nine times out of ten.
From the perspective of future generations, the casino must be raising fish.
Sure enough, Boss Cao went to Macau more and more often, and gradually changed from winning nine times out of ten to losing nine times out of ten. And the more he gambled, the bigger he got.
According to the gambling king himself, the only way to win is to not gamble, and you can see the trick here.
------
At this time, due to the second expansion of the Diamond Mountain studio, the capital consumption was a bit large, and there were not many crews stationed there. This attracted the big boss Cao Dahua to come in person.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian just killed the lame man a few days ago, and the police force also severely cracked down on the Yizitou forces. Even Rose, a woman who almost swallowed up the Yizitou forces, died in the mouth of the Yizitou hall for no apparent reason.
.
So much so that both sides have almost lost their brains these days.
When he heard that the movie Chu Xiangqian was investing in would be filmed at the Diamond Mountain Studio, Boss Cao thought about it and decided that it would be right to make friends with him in person.
At the same time, we also try to see whether Chu Xiangqian is taking the right path or going astray.
Chu Xiangqian is not a good person. When he sees Boss Cao, his first thought is his Palace Theater, a whole commercial street, and the Diamond Mountain Studio at his feet.
Rather than being won by others, it is better to benefit yourself.
Of course, it would be a fool to drag someone to the gambling table as soon as they meet.
After chatting for a while, Chu Xiangqian wanted to bring up the topic of gambling movies, but he didn't want to wait for him to speak. He didn't know where Boss Cao learned that when he had played with Lei Luo, Lard Boy and others several times,
He can kill everyone every time.
Chu Xiangqian thought about it carefully and quickly realized that someone might have been thinking about him for a long time.
As for who spread the news about his great gambling skills, you can guess if you think about it, it is most likely the big mouth Lan Gang, or the old boy Yan Tong.
Blue Steel's nickname is Headless, which means that he likes to joke and has a good mouth.
And Yan Tong has always been on good terms with the club bosses in Chengzhai and Yau Tsim Mong, so it is normal for him to mention these bosses.
Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Sheng Cao, as the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles are cheats, you'd better stay away from the gambling table."
Cao Dahua could hear Chu Xiangqian's good intentions. After all, he was almost 50 at this time and had been on the set for 20 or 30 years. He had never seen anyone before.
But people are like this. When they are proud of themselves, they often cannot listen to others’ advice.
And the more proud you are, the more conceited you are.
"Don't worry, Chu Sheng. I haven't played cards with anyone in my life. I came to you for advice just because I heard a good story from a friend.
My biggest hobby in this life is acting. If I want to play a living character, I must at least understand the psychology of the character. Please give me some advice from Chu Sheng."
Chu Xiangqian was now certain that someone really cared about Cao Dahua's family property.
Those so-called friends are not pure of heart.
Boss Cao himself said that he had never played cards with anyone in his life. Seeing that Boss Cao was not taking the bait, he took advantage of his dramatic personality and used movies to seduce him.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided not only not to teach him gambling skills, but also to give him more advice.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian is not really a good person, but does the opposite.
The more someone tries to persuade someone, the less he listens.
"Boss Cao, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of Qianmen, people like you are the perfect fat sheep. Besides, there are so many roles on the screen, why do you have to play a 'gambler'?"
Cao Dahua was stunned and began to feel unhappy.
I just want to play a good 'gambler', and I don't really go to Macau to gamble. Besides, as a 20-year-old young man, Chu Qianqian, who has the right to doubt his own determination?
The more he thought about it, the more Boss Cao felt that Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to teach him a thousand skills.
I even worry that if I learn it, it will affect him.
"Since Chu Sheng is not free, I'll excuse you."
Chu Qianqian looked at the back of Boss Cao, who was walking a little hastily and was obviously unhappy, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Then he called Sanjiang Shui over, "Do you still have contact with the Macau hotel attendant you paid for last time?"
