Chapter 100 The police came to the door


Chapter 100 The police came to the door

The surface of the lake was calm and calm, with the mountains on all sides reflected in the water, making it picturesque.

Two figures, one white and one gray, floated across the lake, as graceful as immortals.

In order to lift wires on the lake, Yang Ye brought all the cranes over.

The cost of shooting this sequence cannot be calculated in terms of money.

At the very least, not everyone can handle a helicopter in this day and age.

Having money and face, everyone on the crew felt that filming with Yang Ye was a great pleasure.

Most of these staff are old people from Phoenix Film Company. They have made many movies in the past. At that time, they did not hesitate to work hard to make good movies, but when had they ever made something like this?

For a desert scene, I went to the United States to shoot the scene. All kinds of awesome equipment are at your disposal, not to mention.

Just now, so many people have been waiting by the lake for five days in order to get the perfect shot of Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai flying across the lake.

We didn’t start shooting until the sea calmed down and the lake surface was as smooth as a mirror.

How much labor does it cost in five days?

In the entire Chinese world, only two people dare to play like this.

One is Hu Jinquan, he has a tough head.

One is Yang Ye, he is rich.

It's a good thing now that Hu Jinquan and Yang Ye are working together. How awesome is that? Cost and other things are not considered at all.

This is actually a bit of a winner-takes-all approach, because "Shaolin Temple" has a global box office of 100 million US dollars, and the brand effect has been achieved.

So he can spend a lot of money to shoot the most awesome shots, because this can strengthen his brand effect, and the money spent can be earned back, which are complementary to each other.

Others don’t dare to invest so much, so they can only do it casually. The result is that the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider.

Chen Long from The Original Time and Space is a living example. In the 1990s, Chen Long’s investment in a movie was more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The total box office of a movie by other Hong Kong actors does not reach HK$100 million.

How does this work? Chen Long has a wall with others!

Hu Jinquan personally took the shot. After he returned to the ground, he excitedly told Yang Ye: "This shot is great, really, so beautiful! Do you think we should shoot a scene of fighting on the lake?" "

Yang Yexin said, wouldn't it be made into "Hero"?

He thought for a while and refused: "Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong's martial arts are too different to fight. We can't give up story logic for visual effects."

Hu Jinquan thought about it. Yes, I can only regret giving up.

After filming this scene, it took another half a month to film the scene of Yu Jiaolong jumping over the waterfall to find the sword, and the scene of the decisive battle in the cave.

At this point, all the scenes in Taiwan have been filmed. Yang Ye announced: "I will return to Taipei tomorrow and transfer to Seoul, South Korea to shoot the scenes in Beijing."

The scenes in Beijing, Li Yinban It was taken at the Chengde Summer Resort. Unfortunately, I can’t go there now.

And it is impossible to build such a large palace scene by yourself, no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this.

The buildings in the China Film Cultural City are also too simple and do not fit in with the blockbuster style of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

After Hu Jinquan visited Japan and South Korea, he chose to go to Changdeokgung Palace in South Korea to film this scene.

Both Japan and South Korea have a large number of ancient buildings for photography. The difference between the two is that Japan is a copycat of the Tang Dynasty, while South Korea is a copycat of the Ming Dynasty.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been changed to obscure the history, it is still mainly in the style of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, it is more suitable to shoot in Zhaiming.

Changdeokgung Palace is located in the middle of Seoul. It is a palace built in the fourth year of Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty (1404 AD), covering an area of ​​78 hectares.

Changdeokgung Palace is a Chinese-style building with 13 pavilions still preserved. It is the most complete one among the palaces of the Lee Dynasty and is known as the "Forbidden City of Korea".

It would be a good idea to use a place like this as a palace for filming. Because the King of Joseon was originally the king granted by the Ming Dynasty.

South Korea in this era was the Park Chung-hee era. His iron-fisted rule promoted the rapid development of South Korea's economy and formed the "Miracle on the Han River."

In order to unify his thoughts, Park Chung-hee promulgated the "Film Law" and implemented a strict censorship system. The film companies were completely controlled, directors had almost no creative autonomy, and all filmmakers with radical ideas were imprisoned.

Since there are no movies to watch in South Korea, it has become a dumping ground for foreign movies, and Hong Kong movies are the best among them.

When Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was released in Seoul last year, the number of moviegoers exceeded 700,000, breaking the country's film history record in one fell swoop.

After Yang Ye won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year, "Fist of Heroes" was also released in South Korea.

Because it is an anti-Japanese theme that Koreans like, the box office is even better than "Shaolin Temple". However, this movie has not yet been released in Korea, so it is hard to say how much it will sell in the end.

Hu Jinquan applied to the Korean Conquest early, hoping to shoot a movie in Changdeokgung Palace. Considering that Yang Ye and Hu Jinquan are both major international directors, South Korea approved their filming application. The protection of cultural relics these days is not as strict as that of later generations. The Forbidden City in China can be used to make movies, let alone this copycat Forbidden City in South Korea.

……

The group arrived in Taipei and prepared to book tickets to fly to South Korea.

Lin Qingxia took advantage of this time to go back home, while Yang Yewo was working on his script in the hotel.

Halfway through the painting, I felt a little hungry. I was about to go out to get something to eat, when suddenly several policemen came to my door.

"Mr. Yang, someone has accused you of colluding with the underworld, beating others, and illegal detention. Please come with us!"

The police came to the door, and the crew gathered around after hearing the news. come over.

Hu Jinquan said: "Mr. Police, is there any misunderstanding? We have been filming."

The policeman said: "A man named Ding Deyang went to the police station to call the police, saying that Mr. Yang wanted to seize his wife. Beat him, force him to divorce, and threaten him personally. Please don't hinder us from carrying out our official duties."

Xu Feng almost fainted when he heard this. She was about to step forward to speak, but she saw Yang. Ye glared at her and motioned for her to be silent.

Yang Ye said first: "Don't be anxious, everyone. It's a small matter. I'm just going to cooperate with the investigation. Lao Hu, you first lead the team to South Korea to prepare for filming. Before the Titan arrives, the preliminary work must be completed. Don't "It's a delay."

Hu Jinquan knew that if he delayed it for one more day, his budget would increase a lot, so he had to say: "I understand!"

Yang Ye said to the police: "Can I say a few words to my employees alone?"

The police said: "Please hurry up, but don't leave our sight."

Yang Ye nodded and thanked, pulled Xu Feng and said: "Come with me!"

Yang Ye pulled Xu Feng to a corner far away and said seriously: "A Feng, you can't stay in Taiwan now, follow Lao Hu is going to South Korea."

Xu Feng said resolutely: "No, I have to stay here with you. I still know some friends. I may be able to help."


Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Ding Deyang has made it clear that he wants to make things bigger and turn you into Pan Jinlian who seduces an adulterer and murders her husband, so that you will be accused by thousands of people."

"He... …Isn’t he afraid of death?”

“Your reputation is ruined, but he is safe. Because if something happens to him, it will definitely be your fault. He will hold you and suck your blood for the rest of his life, and he will not let you go easily. Yes. I underestimated him. I originally thought he was just a loser and couldn't make any trouble. Since you are kind-hearted and want to let him go, then let him go. I didn't expect him to be so capable!"

"I'm sorry, it was all me who hurt you." Xu Feng burst into tears.

Yang Ye stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Don't say such things. What this guy did is just to make things worse so that he can continue to suck your blood.

If he can't produce any evidence, I will be released soon.

But there will definitely be a lot of rumors about you during this time, and I don’t want you to see these.

So, you follow Lao Hu to South Korea first.

I promise, when I go to see you, everything will be gone. ”

Xu Feng is not a person who is afraid of trouble, and she is not afraid of rumors.

However, Yang Ye's words gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

She had never felt so at ease in her life before meeting Yang Ye.

Her father died when she was five years old, and her mother took her to remarry. The conditions of her stepfather were not good, so she became a little dragster.

When she was a child, she had to look at her stepfather's face even when picking up food. Only when her stepfather was in a good mood could she have a full meal.

She joined the Federal Film Company at the age of sixteen. In order to keep her job, she worked several times harder than others before she was appreciated by Hu Jinquan.

She has also been grateful to King Hu for the rest of her life. Future generations can still see the high-definition versions of King Hu’s movies because after she became rich, she paid for the restoration of all those movies.

Now, Yang Ye is like a big mountain. Even if the sky falls, he will help her hold it up.

"I will listen to you!"

"Be good!" Yang Ye hugged her gently, "Go and call Old Hu over, I will tell him something."< br>
"Oh!" Xu Feng agreed and walked back. Yang Ye's obedient voice made her steps float, as if she were stepping on clouds.
