Let Guo Zhenhua, a newcomer, be the protagonist when he comes on stage. Let alone himself, the entire crew will lack confidence.
But if Chu Xiangqian's boss also participates, even if the box office is not good, the boss can be photographed as handsome and heroic. For this reason, the boss will definitely not care too much about the box office.
I even felt that the first part was just because of the handwriting, and I came up with the idea of continuing to make another one.
When the time comes, I offer to be a supporting role for my boss. I don’t have to worry about too much pressure, and I also have a serious job.
As for how much money he earned, anyway, after selling the Lichi Stage to Baifanyu, he got hundreds of thousands, which was enough for him and his wife-to-be to live a stable and prosperous life.
"Boss, how about you play the role of the master of the Eagle Claw Sect?"
Chu Qianqian was stunned, while the director and cinematographer nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, boss, in the script you wrote, it was originally said that the master of the Eagle Claw Sect is the best in the world in kung fu.
Moreover, you are so handsome, and you appear gloomy and sinister when photographed. The contrast must be excellent. Custody can attract many young girls to watch movies in the cinema. "
Chu rolled his eyes forward, knowing immediately that the director and cinematographer were flattering.
Uncle Hai saw that he was just hesitating and not rejecting outright, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, this first play is very important and the pressure is very high.
If you participate, you can not only take control personally, but also give everyone peace of mind. "
Chu glanced forward at Guo Zhenhua and the others, and quickly saw that the big guy's expression was indeed very nervous.
If you think about it carefully, this character is indeed brilliant, otherwise Akira Toriyama would not have used him as a manga character in the future.
Moreover, having Uncle Xiao Long and Uncle Long, two real-life kung fu superstars, as role models in the future will let Chu Xiangqian know that martial arts action stars can also become famous abroad.
Of course, there are good and bad aspects to being a star, but when you think about it, you are the boss, or even the boss of a theater chain in the future, and the bad side is basically not a problem for you.
The good side is that whoever wants to touch him will have more scruples.
After thinking about this, Chu Xiangqian no longer hesitated and put on the prepared costume, because the previous actor was about the same height as himself and the clothes fit him quite well.
He just asked Chu Qianqian to grow a long braid, even if he was beaten to death.
In the end, he simply combed his hair back. Unexpectedly, he became even more handsome, and when he had a sullen face, he naturally exuded a calm but powerful aura.
In this way, the owner of the Serpentine Sect, who plays opposite him, looks even more inconspicuous.
It even made people present feel that the owner of the Serpentine Gate was the villain.
After Chu Qianqian nodded, Hong Sanbao, who was responsible for the movement guidance, hurriedly brought Aji and an instructor who actually practiced Eagle Claw Boxing to teach Chu Qianqian the Eagle Claw routine.
With Chu Xiangqian's ability and physical fitness, and the fact that he had watched the actors practice together yesterday, he only had to teach him three times, and he was able to perform as well as the real snake-shaped boxing instructor.
But soon the problem came again. After the shooting started, Chu moved forward too quickly. Although the force was suppressed, the actor playing the opposite role felt sore in his arm after only a few rounds. He was busy waving his hands while changing the shooting angle.
He said to Chu Xiangqian, "Boss, I'm just an action actor. I can't compare with a real kung fu master like you. You'd better save your hands, lest I lose my arms after today's filming."
Chu Qianqian was stunned, then nodded sheepishly, and then said to Hong Sanbao, "Find someone to call and ask a bruiser to come over and follow the team. If there is any injury during the filming, it can be dealt with immediately." , so as not to leave the root of the disease."
Hong Sanbao was extremely satisfied with his current work and hurriedly nodded and asked one of Hong Zhennan's apprentices to find Hong Zhennan.
With him coming forward, he can naturally invite a powerful beating master.
As for the money, even if it was five hundred a month, Chu Xiangqian would agree without blinking an eye.
Later, the filming went much smoother. It was a pre-rehearsed routine, except that Chu Xiangqian was not familiar with the camera yet, which caused reshoots.
In terms of action and fighting, you can't fault it at all.
It was originally expected that the scene would take one day, or even take several days due to the lack of actors, but it was filmed in less than three hours.
Moreover, after hearing what Chu Xiangqian said, the actor who played the opposite role tried his best to attack at full speed, but in Chu Xiangqian's eyes, he was still a bit slow.
This scene seems to be exciting, and it also makes people feel that this is the skill that the two leaders should have.
But in this way, Guo Zhenhua will definitely suffer a lot when the decisive battle comes.
After filming the first fighting scene, the crew held another special scene. Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to say that he would shoot it today, but when he saw that no one of the twenty or thirty people present showed any dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In the future, Hong Kong movies will become popular in Southeast Asia, and even occasionally one or two will become popular in Europe and the United States. This must have a certain relationship with this style of racing against time.
Of course, no matter where the film industry is, there will always be a dark side.
But the movie itself is a circle of fame and fortune. As long as people are competing, many things will never be avoided.
Fortunately, this movie surprisingly does not have a female character, so the crew did not have a lot of trouble.
It was around 5 p.m., and seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, the crew just called it a day.
But the matter between the director and the behind-the-scenes was not over yet. Chu Xiangqian himself also wanted to develop the film as soon as possible to see the effect of today's scenes.
After sending the film to the development company on the set, around 10 o'clock in the evening, in a small theater, Chu Xiangqian finally saw his first play in his life.
After watching it, more than a dozen directors, photographers, leading actors, martial arts directors, etc. who had not returned yet felt that the filming was surprisingly good.
But after a while, everyone felt huge pressure again. It was Chu Xiangqian's first scene, and the fighting effect was really good.
So much so that the director, leading actors, and others felt that the difficulty of the final battle scene had suddenly increased several levels.
Hong Sanbao quietly bumped Guo Zhenhua's arm and whispered, "Aaron, don't be too hard these days. Otherwise, if I don't give you special training, I'm worried that in the last scene, you will fail countless times."
Of course, Guo Zhenhua's nickname is not Aaron. Chu Xiangqian said in a bad way that Guo Zhenhua's name is too correct, and he is just a real newcomer who has never made a movie.
Might as well choose a stage name.
Anyway, Uncle Long's surname is also Fang, and Guo Zhenhua looks exactly the same as Uncle Long. He himself thinks that the artistic name "Cheng" Long is a good one.
Naturally, everyone started calling him 'Aaron'.
Guo Zhenhua nodded, "Senior brother, you can be tough with your arrangements, I can endure hardships."
This is not nonsense. When Guo Zhenhua first came to Hong Kong Island, he was defrauded of all his money. He slept on the streets and ate pig food, so he understood the difficulties of the bottom class.
Moreover, he had studied martial arts before, and he must have suffered a lot to be able to practice to the present level. And his self-control is also very good.
Chu Xiangqian personally took away the film and master tapes that had been shot and roughly cut, and then invited everyone to a food stall for a late-night snack before getting in the car and leaving with Sanjiang Shui.
As soon as he left, a group of people immediately started chattering.
The director patted Guo Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Aaron, you have seen with your own eyes how powerful the boss is. As long as you can keep up with the boss's actions, I think this movie will definitely be a hit."
Photography and lighting nodded along. Everyone has been struggling in this circle for many years, and their skills and vision are not that strong, but they still have the ability to appreciate.
At least in their opinion, the first scene was enough to attract most of the audience.
If Guo Zhenhua, the leading actor, didn't stretch his hips later, and the filming was as exciting as the first scene when it comes to the final battle, it would be difficult for this movie not to be a hit.
Guo Zhenhua hurriedly made assurances and also told about the special training between himself and Hong Sanbao.
A group of people felt relieved. This attitude alone was worthy of recognition and expectation.
Filming continued the next day, and Chu Xiangqian also secretly learned from the director.
The director also guessed what Chu Xiangqian was thinking, but he was the boss and he didn't teach. There were directors who were willing to teach and then take the opportunity to become the director of a new movie.
Besides, Chu Xiangqian will definitely not make a romantic movie.
The first Futon was produced by the current director and photographer.
And that movie was also released for 10 days. I heard that the box office of 6 movies has exceeded 200,000. This means that nearly 200,000 people on Hong Kong Island bought movie tickets and went to the theater to watch it.
After deducting the 1,000-day booking fee for theaters, Futon has made a net profit of 140,000 yuan in just 10 days on Hong Kong Island.
In addition to the 60,000 box office earned from previous test screenings in rural areas such as Tuen Mun, this movie has made a net profit of 200,000.
With the blessing of this box office, I believe that Baifanyubai boss will definitely find himself as the director for his second romantic movie.
As for the director's fee, firstly, it's a dead salary, and secondly, it depends on whether the boss is generous.
The bonus you get when you make money is sometimes several times your salary.
Of course, there are also bosses who are very stingy and will only pay wages.
Once they make a fuss about a salary increase, they will immediately kick you out.
As for the dividends, I went to sleep and had everything in my dreams.
Chu Xiangqian didn't understand at first why so many people wanted to enter this industry under this system.
But after working with the team for a day, I discovered that Hong Kong films at this time and in the future were just assembly line productions.
The director, actors, and people behind the scenes all thought of themselves as workers, hoping that the 10-day scene would be shot in 5 days. So I can find another crew to work on.
The perfunctory connotation is very common, and in addition, they are basically half-baked monks.
Acting and directing abilities are all honed little by little on the set. For such an employee, Chu Xiangqian, the boss, would not be willing to charge high prices.
It is even less possible to offer high prices.
By the time actors hone their acting skills, most of them are already over 30 and can no longer play leading roles.
Actresses are even worse.
But in the final analysis, the income in this industry is still much higher than that at the bottom of society.
Otherwise, we are not fools, so why would we want to join this industry?
This also forces famous actors to invest in filming themselves.
But if you really get ahead, you won't save one in a hundred, and most of the losses will go to your grandma's family.
Even though Uncle Long in the real world has been famous for decades, he also had his troughs during this period, and even almost ruined his acting career.
——
Not long after filming, Chu Xiangqian heard noise outside the filming location. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the old guy Baifanyu burst in with a laugh.
"Xiao Chu, you didn't even tell me when you came back. If that guy Deng Fei hadn't called me and said he wanted to treat you to a meal, I wouldn't have known you were back."
Chu reluctantly motioned to the director to take a break, met Baifanyu, and said with a smile, "Uncle, aren't you busy making this movie?
Besides, I heard that you have recently become obsessed with a little girl, so I'd better not disturb you. "
Baifanyu's expression froze. If someone else dared to tease him like this, he would know what "Why are the flowers so red" meant?
But facing Chu Qianqian, Baifanyu could only rely on his collaborators and the advantage of being several times older to communicate with him.
Of course, it was more that Baifanyu saw the money in romantic movies, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to Chu Xiangqian.
Baifanyu pulled Chu Qianqian aside, "I asked someone to check the box office at Ah San's place. I heard that in the past ten days, Gui Lao and his gang can get at least 50,000 pounds."
Chu Qianqian was stunned, and then realized that 50,000 pounds would be 800,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Damn it, is this kind of movie so easy to sell?
And this is only ten days. If it is released for a month or two, Charles and the other ghost guys will get more than the monthly fees.
And it doesn’t require any cost or effort.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
He is not stupid either. Although he is jealous of Ah San's profits, he will not regret it.
But now he is eager to send the film to island countries, South Korea and Southeast Asia for broadcast.
Chu Xiangqian felt for a moment that the final box office of Futon might be higher than that of his own movie Snake.
Once this happens, I may be the one who opens Pandora's box.
In the future, there will definitely be more capital and film companies joining in Southeast Asia, island countries, and South Korea.
But this is also a good thing for Chu Xiangqian. With this futon, he can open up hair styling channels, and the next snake-shaped hair style will be much easier.
"Okay, uncle, it's a good thing that you want to release it in South Korea, island countries and Southeast Asia, and I think it's best for you to screen it near the camp where the Americans are.
When newspapers in the island country and South Korea report that Americans like to watch this movie, locals in the two places will definitely follow suit and go to the cinema. "
Baifanyu's eyes lit up, he laughed and said, "I knew I would ask you first, and you would definitely be able to give me a good idea."
After talking about the business, Bai Fanyu immediately asked with a smile, "When we go back, you must have solved the problem of supply. How about helping uncle get another tiger?"
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that what this old guy wanted was a tiger whip.
"Even if you ask me for 10 tigers now, I can deliver them to you the next day. But uncle, you are not young anymore, so it is better to take it easy."
Baifanyu said nonchalantly, "You don't know, a master looked at it for me and said that my new outer chamber will definitely give me a son.
If I don’t work hard, I will be powerless in the future and I won’t have a son. Wouldn’t it be a waste to make so much money? "
Chu Xiangqian frowned after hearing this, "Uncle, I didn't tell you Qianmen's tricks. You should have known about it, right?"
