"Dr. Zou, in fact, if you have money and people, you can make a movie for publicity. Just make a poker-type movie and put the name of your casino on it. As long as it is done well, it will still be a good publicity.
Effect."
Isn't it just for publicity? Just go make a movie yourself and don't make a fuss about your own movie.
"Making a movie?"
Zou Chaohua's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
If you invest 30 to 40 million yuan in a movie, if it works, it won't take long to make it back. It shouldn't be difficult to get those shareholders to contribute money.
Moreover, his newly opened entertainment company has not yet made a movie, so it is a good time to test the waters. Regardless of whether it works or not, he can always make thousands or tens of millions.
Now he started to talk to Tang An about the specific situation.
As long as he was tempted, it would be easy to handle. Tang An told the general plot of the subsequent promotional film "Poker King" that blocked the audience in Austria.
"Dr. Zou, shoot less scenes with Du Bo. Try to focus on comedy. Don't focus on the beauties. Make fashion jokes, talk about the emotions of urban men and women, and make a few short jokes..."
Similar to the later "Omen", when the first part of the series was promoted, it was promoted under the name "The God of Bei Zha".
In fact, there are not many scenes about Bei Zhebo. The whole film is just comedy, comedy, action, emotion, beauty, family affection and so on.
In the end, Zou Chaohua left with his younger brother satisfied, and couldn't wait to go to Xiangjiang to hire a director to make the film.
Zhang Yiping watched from behind as Tang An dealt with Zou Chaohua so easily, and had to admire him, but he was still a little worried, "Director Tang, just let it go like this?"
"I don't know." Tang An shook his head.
"But it won't bother us within a week. Let's finish the filming and rush to Singapore."
Tang An clapped his hands and called everyone to start getting ready.
Today's filming was a chase scene. Liao Fan led Interpol and local police to the Four Horsemen's lair to arrest someone, and a fight broke out.
The other three people ran away, leaving Deng Kai alone at home.
After using playing cards as weapons to repel them and escape, he was followed by Liao Fan.
The first scene is a scene of running in an alley, and there are a lot of opportunities that meet the requirements.
Omen is not like Xiangjiang. Basically, there are high-rise buildings everywhere. Even the dilapidated houses have fourteen or five floors, and they are so densely packed that there is no space at all.
Omen is different. The local architecture has an obvious exotic style. There are a lot of four- and five-story residential buildings, and they are not so narrow.
"Deploy everything, clean up the ground, and put some obstacles up there!"
"Come over to a desk and get stuck there!"
"If you want something old, the worse it is, the better. If you don't have it, go to the nearby second-hand furniture stores and junkyards!"
While Tang An was directing everyone to work, he also called Deng Kai and Liao Fan.
"This alley is about 17 to 18 meters long. You control the time, about 3-4 seconds, but you also want the audience to see that you are running as hard as you can."
"I understand, Director Tang!" The two nodded repeatedly.
"Go and prepare and make your own estimate."
Half an hour later, the shooting started!
"Every department is ready, the actors are in place!"
"Scene 71, one shot, one shot!"
"start!"
The moment Tang An shouted, Deng Kai rushed out from the other end of the alley and ran forward, followed closely by Liao Fan in a suit.
He stepped on the old computer desk with his right foot, and with a force, he jumped over it and kicked the desk to the ground.
"Click, stop!"
After taking a picture, Tang An called to stop.
"Deng Kai, when you rush out from there, you need to make a turn. When you run forward, there is a wall. Due to inertia, you have no time to brake. You need to make a supporting movement with your hands on the wall, and then look both ways.
Just take a look and run this way."
"Sorry Tang An, I remember!" Deng Kai couldn't help but nodded.
"Reset all parts!"
"Scene 71, one shot, two shots!"
"start!"
...
"Click!"
"Don't look too panicked on your face!"
Throughout the film, the four magicians are full of confidence. Whether they are caught in the police station, their magic tricks are exposed, or they are hunted down, they never show a trace of timidity or panic.
The magicians planned one wonderful robbery magic after another. Everything was under their control. Tang An showed the audience a confident and intelligent character.
...
"Okay, pass!"
The fourth time, when the desk that had been dug out of a trash heap could no longer bear it, the scene ended.
Then he continued to move forward and took another shot in the corridor.
Moving to the street, we filmed the scene where Deng Kai faced the interception of two policemen, but put handcuffs on their hands behind his back.
This scene was shot 8 times. The movements were all planned in advance and rehearsed many times. However, the coherence of the movements was still somewhat lacking, and it was not very smooth and fast enough.
The filming in Omen lasted for more than a week. After all the filming was completed, the crew moved to Singapore.
The person who received them was a vice president of Xingyi Pictures, who also specialized in contacting mainland film and television companies.
We had a meal together in the evening to cope with the situation, and also met a director of Mediacorp, the largest media group in Singapore, and rejected two long-legged mixed-race models they sent.
The other party agreed to cooperate with Tang An's filming throughout the whole process, but Mediacorp inserted a female star into the project.
She starred in the heroine of the popular TV series "Golden Road" last November, which was later aired on the mainland.
The plot is very bloody, a reorganized family, the mother takes the eldest son and the little sister, and the father takes the eldest sister and the second brother, but the father is dead.
Later, the eldest son and the eldest sister went together, and the second brother seemed to be obsessed with the younger sister.
Tang An also agreed. He originally kept two small supporting roles as favors. They were not important roles anyway and it would be the same for anyone else.
It's the supporting actress who is halfway through having sex with Deng Chao. As long as she's good-looking and has a good figure.
Exit Raffles Hotel and walk south along North Bridge Road, passing by the Government Building and the Parliament Building.
Follow Fullerton Road across the Singapore River and arrive at its south bank. There are many high-rise buildings in front of it. This is Singapore's central financial district.
In front of us, Singapore's tallest building towers into the sky.
UOB Plaza in Singapore has a total of 66 floors and a height of 280.1 meters. It is jointly ranked as the tallest building in Singapore with Republic Square.
Tonight we have to film a scene where Deng Chao performs poker magic on the street, and the other party in the building has already made arrangements.
MediaCorp is controlled by Temasek Holdings, which controls the lifeblood of Singapore. Let alone a building, as long as the other party is willing, they can shoot in the Parliament Building.
There was no problem with the filming. It was a simple magic trick that asked the audience to remember a card. In the end, part of the lights in the entire building went out, and the pattern of the playing card appeared.
This is actually tricky. When you watch the movie, you will find that you can basically only remember the seven of diamonds.
During post-editing, it needs to be modified frame by frame. The Seven of Diamonds stays for at least 4 frames, and the other cards stay for one frame, and the other cards also need to be blurred.
It seems that someone has already tried this on a computer. The footage is shown frame by frame, and it is easy to see.
Tang An also asked someone to bring another camera nearby to film the entire filming process, and then cut it out for pre-publicity.
All the little magic tricks in the early stages were also captured on film.
The effect of this magic is almost the same on the spot. If it were in a movie or TV series, it would be nothing new, and this is not the focus of publicity.
The purpose is to disappoint the audience, disappoint them, and then spend money on the media to express disappointment to themselves.
Suppress first and then raise!
Just like in online novels, there is a brainless villain who wants to kill the protagonist, and no one else is optimistic about the protagonist. In the end, the protagonist makes a comeback. There are ups and downs, and this is the highlight.
After I finished filming this scene, I still had some time, so I simply filmed Deng Chao’s sex scene as well.
As an actor, Deng Chao has shown extremely high professionalism. Although it is much worse than Tony Leung's performance in "Lust, Caution", it is still enough.
The actress was also very involved in chewing the ground. She probably likes Deng Chao's version.
...
There should be two more shifts in the evening, so I'll hurry up and grab a few bites of rice!
