In fact, there are many strange "rules" during filming, such as Good Start, which are difficult to figure out. Some people say they are superstitious, while others think they make perfect sense.
Like turning on the camera and worshiping gods, this is a necessary ritual that almost always happens when a movie starts. Burning the incense on the camera. Usually the producer and director take the lead in burning the incense to pray for smooth shooting, and the camera is also covered with a red cloth. Sometimes you also need pork head meat, fruit, tobacco and wine.
In fact, these rituals cannot be regarded as superstitious, because you will encounter many unknowns during the shooting process. In most cases, they are just for peace of mind, and gradually formed a culture. Of course, the formation of this culture is also due to some unexplainable things. For example, some people say that when the camera takes pictures of temples and other scenes, when they look back, they come up blank and nothing is captured.
Of course, after Li Yi has been filming for so long, he still rarely encounters such "weird" situations.
But Li Yi is well aware of the good start. During previous filming, problems did occur in the first scene, only to have problems occur one after another.
Therefore, many times, he would rather believe that he has something than something that doesn't exist!
Everyone has come this way, so naturally he won't go out of his way.
The filming of "Infernal Affairs" went much smoother than he imagined.
Especially the performance of the two leading actors and the main supporting actors made Li Yi extremely worry-free. Many times, he didn't even need to speak, they would find the problems themselves and correct them.
When Li Yi was filming "Infernal Affairs", Xingman was not idle either.
The first draft of the script for "Nezha" was quickly produced.
Sent to Li Yi.
Li Yi is actually quite looking forward to Xingman's writing team.
However, after reading the script of "Nezha", Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
The main reason is that the script of "Nezha" was influenced by "The Return of the Great Sage".
Deliberately speaking, the script of "Nezha" is almost a replica of "The Return of the Great Sage".
However, The Return of the Great Sage could be written and filmed in such a way because of the experience of the Monkey King, the Monkey King.
He indeed went from crushing the sky and being unruly to being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. Therefore, the plot of this original work provides the background logic for "The Return of the Great Sage".
But what about Nezha?
Nezha is back?
That’s a bit nonsense!
Nezha is different from the Monkey King. There are many versions of Nezha's background story.
Nezha in Fengshen and Nezha in Journey to the West are completely different.
At the same time, although Nezha is not low in popularity, he is still far behind Monkey King.
Therefore, you can write "The Return of the Great Sage", but you cannot write "The Return of Nezha".
"What do you think?" Li Yi asked Zhang Haiyang on the phone.
"This..." Zhang Haiyang felt guilty.
"Let's do this. I have two script outlines here. You guys can fill them in and show them to me!" Li Yi also knew that if Xingman was really asked to write the script himself, that's not to say that it couldn't be done. However, this It takes too long!
For this reason, Li Yi simply sent Zhang Haiyang the story outlines of the two stories "Nezha Makes the Sea" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World".
He wanted to see how they would fill it out.
Time passes day by day.
The filming of "Infernal Affairs" is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Filming a police movie on Hong Kong Island was really smooth.
This also made Li Yi feel more and more that his idea was really right, because this is the advantage of Hong Kong movies.
It can be said that filming a Hong Kong police and gangster film on Hong Kong Island has the right time, place, people and the right people.
Making this type of film is truly a way to get twice the result with half the effort.
"Infernal Affairs" is the most intuitive embodiment.
In fact, Hong Kong police and gangster movies have always been made, and quite a few appear every year, but most of them are either due to cost or other reasons. Most of the time, they are relatively old-fashioned movies.
They are all police and gangster movies where you can clearly feel the clichés of old Hong Kong movies.
This time, there is a revival of Hong Kong films, and Hong Kong police and gangster films are expected to continue the glory of Hong Kong films, which have become popular because of Li Yi's "Infernal Affairs".
But after all, the filming of "Infernal Affairs" has just begun, and I still have to wait to see this film.
...
Chen Keming is a veteran director in Hong Kong. From the 1980s to the 1990s, he also produced many Hong Kong films that are still talked about today.
Unfortunately, in the new century, Hong Kong films have declined.
At first, it can be said that there were no real commercial film directors in China, so Chen Keming's group of Hong Kong commercial film directors became popular.
In fact, most of the time, people's problems are caused by being spoiled.
Domestic funds found directors like Chen Keming in Hong Kong and provided investment.
Chen Keming was a little better at the beginning. Although the films he made were cliche, at least he shot them seriously.
But he soon discovered that those investors from the mainland didn't understand movies at all and were only responsible for investing money.
When Chen Keming discovered that he was serious about making movies, but in the mainland market, the audience didn't seem to buy it. He worked so hard to make the movie, but after it was released, he could only drink a little soup.
So, he began to coax those mainland investors and manipulate every aspect of the film's shooting. At first, it was just a trial, but he soon discovered that those investors didn't seem to understand this, and almost everything he said was what he said. .
This also made him bolder. Human greed is endless.
Soon, Chen Keming began to become bold, and then there were outrageous and bizarre things that were obvious about cheating money, such as a prop straw hat costing 6,000 yuan and still missing the shipping fee.
If this is just a way to cheat money, that's it. But if you cheat money and the movie doesn't shoot well, halfway through filming, you start asking for additional investment. What can the investors do?
You have already invested so much. If you continue to invest, the cost will be too high. But if you don't continue to invest, all the money spent before will be wasted.
So I could only continue to invest more, but the movie turned out to be a mess. Chen Keming made a lot of money, but the investors lost all their money.
Of course, this kind of crooked approach will definitely not last long. Therefore, after Chen Keming did this kind of thing several times, he quickly discovered that no investors were willing to invest money.
His reputation is also bad in mainland film investment circles!
Chen Keming also fell silent for a long time.
But with the explosion of the mainland film market, with box office revenue ranging from hundreds of millions to billions, how could Chen Keming not be tempted?
But he found that the mainland audience really didn't like his routine, so he began to change his routine and sell his emotions.
He has made sequels to various movies he has made. Although the final reputation is as bad as ever, he can always get some box office.
But if you do something too much, the audience will become immune.
So he had no choice but to find that this method no longer worked!
In fact, as a veteran Hong Kong director who was once very active, is Chen Keming really incompetent?
It's really not the case. It's a pity that today's Chen Keming has long been used to making crooked money.
