Liu Qingshan further added: "Experienced blasters are very scarce. For convenience, some crews hire ordinary workers with insufficient qualifications or even professional qualifications to operate. Sometimes pyrotechnicians can also do part-time blasting work. In this way, The safety is even lower, so some crews with high demand for explosion scenes do have death quotas, but it will not be reflected in the application documents, and it is considered a private operation within the industry!"
Taylor didn't understand Liu Qingshan's next work plan, so he asked worriedly: "Brother, why are you so busy looking for blasters? Is it related to the next work? A war movie? Don't forget, you are currently There is only one directing work so far!”
Xiao Nizi's character is like this. She never feels burdened by what others dare not say in front of Liu Qingshan. She just says what comes to her mind.
Liu Qingshan smiled: "You don't have to worry about men's affairs. It's a war film, and the filming risks are not small. I originally thought that I didn't have much experience, but unfortunately something happened to the previously confirmed director!"
Compared to Taylor, Wang Jinghua is much more courageous: "Taylor, don't worry about safety issues during filming. You don't know the skills of your boss! Besides, whether it is a pyrotechnician or an explosives technician, they have different relationships with the producers. The person who signed the contract, if something really goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him!"
Liu Qingshan then added: "Our Snowland Entertainment has invested a lot of money. It is much higher than the first movie. We must not neglect the shooting quality, otherwise we will suffer huge losses!"
This sentence was actually an exaggeration. His purpose in saying it was simply to scare Taylor so that she would understand that this was a big project and it was necessary to continue it.
In fact, before the project was implemented, Jin Xishan also expressed concerns that in addition to the risks of war films, there is also a problem of relatively narrow market attention. Women, especially, are resistant to war films with serious bloody scenes. .
Don’t forget that Liu Qingshan’s main fans are composed of more than 70% women. Jin Xishan’s worries are not unreasonable.
Seeing the rapid change in Taylor's face, Wang Jinghua smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Shanzi has said that things must be done strictly in accordance with the rules. You will never ignore safety in pursuit of visual effects! Besides, the army in the mainland also They have participated, they have many professionals, and their troops have invested a lot of participants, so they pay more attention to safety issues than we do!"
Her words were more convincing. Taylor felt much better after hearing that the local military was involved.
Two days later, Taylor left with her mother.
This time she came to China, it was a worthwhile trip, because she knew what she thought was Liu Qingshan's biggest secret.
In addition to being extremely shocked, it was actually equivalent to officially accepting her. This was the reason why Xiao Nizi felt most satisfied.
Another day later, the crew of "The Big Deal" officially announced the official start-up ceremony, which also announced the start of the most difficult street scene to shoot.
In fact, in nearly a week, he had completed shooting most of the indoor scenes. In fact, this movie has many such plots interspersed with it.
In order to ensure the smooth completion of the one-month shooting time and avoid external interference as much as possible, the opening ceremony will be postponed to a later date.
There were many guests that day, but what was different from usual was that he did not notify most of them one by one.
And those who didn't get the invitation won't blame him, because in more than a week, people from all walks of life have met with him and received his explanation in advance.
Because several streets will be completely closed for the upcoming filming, although the location is very remote and it will not have much actual impact on the daily traffic of citizens, other nearby streets that are not affected are blocked by all kinds of onlookers.
Therefore, by ending the location shooting one day earlier, the normal traffic order in Hong Kong can be restored to normal one day earlier.
】
In principle, the traffic obstruction in some areas has nothing to do with him. If citizens want to blame, they will only blame the official organization for being ineffective.
But the problem is that the traffic situation in Xiangjiang has always been a major problem. This small place is home to six to seven million people. Most of the buildings are witnesses of a century of rapid development. The streets are relatively narrow and traffic is congested. It's a daily occurrence here.
This is known as the most crowded city in the world. It is truly a reinforced concrete jungle that lives everywhere. Every inch of land is precious and there is no water in it at all.
Therefore, the people here have long been accustomed to being overcrowded like sardines, including their place of residence. A family of several people is crowded into only four or five square meters. This is very common in small rooms.
But although it is a place with a fast pace of life, high work pressure, and serious living conditions, the people here have a very high happiness index, and even the life expectancy of the population is miraculously ranked first in the world.
It can be seen that the living conditions and environment of the residents here are not as miserable and gang-ridden as in Hong Kong movies. In fact, they are generally very optimistic.
Therefore, coupled with the fact that street photography in urban areas is very common, the complaints from local residents are not as strong as expected.
However, the key reason was that in order to accommodate Liu Qingshan's filming, the construction date of the area to be demolished was postponed, so he had to complete the filming strictly in accordance with the application time in the contract.
Colleagues who know these inside stories will be tolerant of not getting his invitation.
Because there are more guests present, it means that the crowd size and the pressure of congestion time will increase infinitely. After all, the narrowness of the street is not suitable for gatherings to exist for a long time.
But despite this, there are still a lot of uninvited artists. Fortunately, most of them just show up and leave, which seems to be like checking in before work.
And when these people left, they actually kidnapped some of their fans. Obviously the artists here are very aware of such a shooting environment, and they may not have come uninvited intentionally.
But don't underestimate a small group of people who gathered around you. This will reduce the crowding and pressure on the site.
Anyone who often participates in such extremely crowded scenes will know that there is nothing terrible about the large number of people at the scene. As long as orderly order is maintained, usually nothing will happen.
However, the lack of space for people to move around in a crowded crowd is the most fatal hidden danger. Therefore, the constant flow of people in and out will cause relative flow passages. If there is no unknown back and forth collision in the area before and after the crowd, there will be no abnormality. situation.
Even though Liu Qingshan was so busy that he was dizzy for a while, he deliberately paid attention to the movements of the artists who came to check in, so he promptly ordered people to write down the names of these people. It was obvious that their actions were very kind.
Because he himself is facing an event without an invitation letter and entering and exiting such an extremely crowded place, he will never express himself actively. However, the shooting environment in Xiangjiang has its own particularities. The artists here know these very well, and the fact that they still decided to come basically proves that they are out of good intentions. Otherwise, who would be willing to go through such trouble for no reason.
Perhaps a similar situation will never happen in the mainland. It is because Hong Kong is a small area but the entertainment industry is surprisingly developed, which leads to the special existence of celebrities traveling everywhere, which cannot be copied.
It can be seen from this that the presence of artists who come and go frequently will bring a big improvement to the crowded situation at the scene.
Of course, Liu Qingshan didn't have much time to think about such small details. He could only silently remember the benefits and repay them slowly when there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
In this movie, he basically did not use the crew of the first film except for providing the cast list of the main characters and the complete script.
Oh, and Chen Zuming was specifically responsible for the on-site assistant director and arrangement. This is why this family member did not make a strong request to participate in the film.
The key is that Chen Long is most satisfied with him serving as Liu Qingshan's deputy, because the Hong Kong eldest brother's future plan is to help his son develop the ability to direct in the future??????????????? ??and convenient access.
He understands best that his son's ability as an actor is limited. The several starring roles that were set up for him basically ended in failure. There is no way to choose a behind-the-scenes job in the future, although Chen Zuming himself still has no choice. Give up.
Liu Qingshan began to use this guy as early as when he was filming "Let the Bullets Fly". Fortunately, his ability and sense of responsibility in this area are far more outstanding than being an actor.
Moreover, Xiangjiang belongs to him, and there is no one more suitable than Liu Qingshan who can give him enough trust to be his first deputy.
In fact, this is also true.
Since most of the set work, stage management, makeup, props, camera team, etc. are handled by Qinghuang people, Yang Shoucheng has become a veritable producer.
And Chen Zuming has a close relationship with him that is half as good as his godson, so Yang Shoucheng gave him the authority to be the executive producer of the scene.
The executive producer is responsible for the specific execution for the producer, because the producer generally does not follow the crew, so the executive producer has the final say on everything on the crew.
In addition, the job assigned to him by Liu Qingshan was equivalent to the production director, who had the authority to sign appointments and expenditures. He was equivalent to the general manager of the crew, who had to make filming arrangements and announcements for the crew.
Therefore, for a time, Chen Zuming had great power in the entire crew. The most important advantage was that everyone in Qinghuang listened to him, which made this guy extremely powerful in the crew.
In fact, Liu Qingshan knew very well that Chen Zuming had a small problem besides his dandy temperament, which was that his ears were very soft. In such a high position, he would inevitably be surrounded by all kinds of flattery all day long, so he was too complacent. , it is inevitable to do some little tricks in the work.
Moreover, he has always prided himself on being loyal, and it is easy for him to lose some of his sobriety in front of sugar-coated bullets.
But Liu Qingshan didn't care about this. As long as it didn't affect the shooting, he would turn a blind eye. He would only scold him to remind him when there was an obvious deviation.
Therefore, the cooperation between the two people is quite tacit. Coupled with the professionalism of each team, several large-scale street shootouts and explosion scenes in the building were successfully completed in just ten days.
