Chapter 131 Brokerage Company
The location team found a more than 20-meter-tall poplar tree in the wild, which was higher than the jungle. They took photos and brought them back to show Yang Ye.
Yang Ye was very satisfied after seeing it: "Very good, it's here."
In the original ET, the most classic shot is the little boy and the little alien flying over on bicycles That scene with the moon.
Spielberg later made this scene the trademark image of Amblin Entertainment, which he founded.
Since Spielberg shot "ET" in North America, the forest scenes in the movie are coniferous forests.
As Yang Ye is currently filming in Hong Kong, the forest scene naturally turned into a broad-leaved forest.
Yang Ye has always wanted to change Baiyang Film Company to a memorable logo, but the current tree-shaped outline feels too frustrating.
Then I thought of combining these two things.
In the original movie, when the little boy and the little alien took off, the background of the picture was not only a huge moon, but also a cedar tree high in the jungle.
Yang Ye replaced it with a poplar tree higher than the jungle, which felt pretty good.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the signature title of Baiyang Pictures in the future.
Now, everything is ready, just waiting for "ET Alien" to be a hit!
Yang Ye’s crew will not actually shoot the scene where the little boy takes off from the forest on a bicycle and flies over the moon. That thing is too difficult.
This section will be shot against the blue screen background of the studio, and then the forest images will be combined together.
There is also a scene at the end of the film of children flying across the sun, which was shot in the same way.
......
When Yang Ye was taking people to shoot a night scene, Chen Long and Yuan Biao drove to Yang Ye's house.
The two walked in carrying the boss's bags. Yang Ye asked: "What are you carrying?"
Chen Long smiled and said: "It's a late night snack!"
< br>
Yang Ye snorted and said: "Stop what you are doing, Aaron and A Biao, please have a midnight snack!"
Everyone cheered and gathered around, thanking Brother Long while getting the midnight snack. Thank you A Biao.
Chen Long brought a midnight snack to Yang Ye, and the three of them sat at a small table and ate.
Yang Ye ate the fried beef river and asked: "Is this what you two are wearing?"
Chen Long said: "As for the western clothes, I brought them over. I'm afraid they will get dirty. Wait a minute. Just put it on.”
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Hey, it's so late at night when filming, what's not dirty?"
"We went to Zhang Huohai to have it custom-made. One set cost more than 10,000 yuan."
< br>“Hey, do you want reimbursement?”
“That’s not necessary, I can keep it myself.”
“Are you wondering why you should be allowed to wear clothes like this? So formal? ”
"Yes!"
"Because the guest role I asked you to be...the man in black, have you heard of it?"
"No!" Chen Long and Yuan Biao both shook their heads.
“The men in black are the legendary people who specialize in dealing with extraterrestrial affairs. It is said that these mysterious people wear black clothes and have oriental faces. If traces of aliens are found somewhere, they will will appear, and then take away all the records, films, photos, analysis results, flying saucer fragments, etc. related to aliens... and threaten the person involved not to reveal any information related to aliens, and will even use A special method to erase your memory."
This was the first time Jackie Chan heard about this. He was surprised: "Is this true?"
Yang Ye said: "Who knows! But four years ago, the American "Universe News" magazine published a monograph on the study of men in black, which caused widespread repercussions in the world. Many people in the world claimed to have seen it The man in black was also threatened by the man in black.
My idea is that since many people are discussing this matter, I will write about it. This is not a photo shoot. Star movie? Then I will let you two guest-star as the men in black and come to Xiao Ming's house to look for traces of aliens."
Chen Long suddenly realized: "That's it, it feels quite fun. . ”
“It’s not just fun, maybe it’s an Easter egg.”
“What do you mean?”
"Maybe one day, I will make a science fiction movie about Men in Black, and then everyone will find out, hey... this "Men in Black" once appeared in a movie called "Alien" Passed."
"Hahaha!" Chen Long was happy, it felt like Yang Ye was really good at playing!
"Okay, let's get to work! The next scene is like this. The children stay up all night, and their mother goes out to look for them, so there is no one at home. You guys in black take the opportunity to enter the house to look for aliens. People’s clues.”
“OK!”
This kind of shot is not difficult at all. Let Chen Long and Yuan Biao walk around the house wearing black suits and sunglasses. Done. Since the plot was that the little alien and the little boy went out, they found nothing.
"OK, done. Call it a day!"
"Aaron, there will be a conversation scene between a man in black and a little boy later. Come over again then."
"No. Question!"
"Sit down for a while and let me talk to you. Do you know Chen Ziqiang?"
"Yes, he is the manager of Luo Wei Company. I am very familiar with him. "If Yang Ye hadn't interfered, the person who brought Chen Long back from Australia would have been Chen Ziqiang.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1960s and 1970s loved having bands, and there were many awesome bands like Winner and Lotus.
Among the many bands, there is a very strange band called "Silver Rats".
They are composed of seven people, namely Zhang Chong, Xie Xian, Chen Ziqiang, Chen Hao, Qin Xianglin, Deng Guangrong and Shen Dianxia.
None of these seven people is a professional singer, and they have formed a band and will not perform on stage. They say they are joining a band, but in fact they are sworn brothers and sisters, sharing a righteous bond and staying together for warmth.
Chen Ziqiang is neither a singer nor an actor. He previously worked for Cathay Film Company. After the company's top executives took a flight and were reimbursed, he has been following the great director Luo Wei, and he is also a number one figure in the industry.
When Qin Xianglin, the fifth member of the Silver Rat Team, got married to the famous actress Xiao Fangfang, Chen Ziqiang hired several dragon and tiger martial arts masters to help maintain order at the scene, and Chen Long also went.
Chen Long was still a little transparent at that time, no one knew him, but he kept the scene in order without any mistakes.
At that time, Chen Ziqiang knew that Yuan Lou was a talent, and the two became good friends.
Later, he brought Chen Long back from Australia and joined Luo Wei's company. After making a lot of bad movies and failing to get ahead, he helped Chen Long find a new director, helped Chen Long win the right to speak, and let Chen Long Long showed his talents, and when Chen Long left Luo Wei and switched to Jiahe, it was Chen Ziqiang who was behind.
At the peak of Hong Kong films, Chen Ziqiang had more than 40 artists under his command, including first-line superstars such as Chen Lung, Cheung Suet-you, Cheng Yuling, Maggie Cheung, Chung Chu-hong, Joey Wong, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Carina Lau, and Tony Leung Ka-fai.
Chen Ziqiang can be regarded as one of the most powerful agents in Hong Kong, and Yang Ye naturally wants to recruit such a talent.
Yang Ye said: "You help me make an appointment with him, and I'll treat him to tea."
"Okay!"
"I want to open another company. Do you have any objections to transferring your contract to a new company?”
"Why should you transfer the contract to the new company?" Chen Long didn't understand.
Yang Ye explained: "I want to separate the production and brokerage business. In the future, Baiyang Film Company will only be responsible for making movies. Another Baiyang Brokerage Company will be fully responsible for the training, packaging, promotion and other matters of artists. .
For example, if you are so popular now, it will be very troublesome if someone asks you to attend an event, perform on stage, cut a ribbon, etc., and you have to contact them in person. There will be a dedicated agent for you to take care of everything. Just leave all your trivial matters to him."
Chen Long's eyes lit up: "Just like Yin Yin?"
Yang Ye said: "Damn, don't think being with a woman is a good thing? It's troublesome even if you want to eat secretly."
"No, right? I saw Yin Yin and Azhi shopping together two days ago, talking and laughing. Mr. Yang, to be honest, I admire you the most for your ability to manage the family!"
Yang Ye chuckled and said, "You're not bad either. I heard that you recently got Michelle?"
Michelle is a popular star of Jiashi. She is very beautiful. "Huang Rong" caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and Chen Long succeeded.
The two wretched men exchanged some tips on picking up girls, and Yang Ye continued: "I want to find Chen Ziqiang and ask him to be the manager of the agency."
……< br>
Two days later, Chen Long came forward to invite Chen Ziqiang to the Peninsula Hotel for tea.
Not long after the two sat down, Yang Ye came, followed by a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl has thick black hair that hangs down the back of her head like a waterfall. She has fair skin, delicate facial features, and a pitiful look in her eyes. As soon as she sees it, she will be inexplicably aroused. An urge to protect her.
When Chen Long saw this beauty, his lustful eyes suddenly shone, but thinking that she was brought by Yang Ye, maybe she was Yang Ye's horse, he immediately stopped.
But I was extremely envious in my heart. I thought that Mr. Yang’s eye for picking out women was really amazing. Where did he find a little beauty?
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You guys came very early!"
Chen Long and Chen Ziqiang stood up. Chen Long introduced: "Young Master Yang, this is my brother, Chen Ziqiang."
Chen Ziqiang was older than Yang Ye and Chen Long, but he still shook hands with Yang Ye respectfully and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang!"
"You're welcome, sit down. !"
After the four people sat down, they started to order something to eat. Yang Ye and the girl only ordered one pineapple bun. Chen Long was surprised: "Eat so much?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "Two things happened together today. Qiong Yao lives in this hotel, and I will have to discuss things with her later, so I have to drink the morning tea in two times."
Chen Long Curiously: "What is Qiong Yao doing here?"
"Meet her!" Yang Ye pointed to the girl next to him, "Her name is Liu Xuehua, she is the heroine of the new film I helped Qiong Yao find."
< br>The girl named Liu Xuehua said shyly: "Brother Qiang, morning, Brother Long, morning."
Chen Ziqiang said: "Miss Liu, morning!"
Chen Long smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Liu!"
Yang Ye said: "Let's talk about business first. Mr. Chen, I believe Aaron has told you that I plan to establish a professional brokerage company. I know that you are well-established in the industry, have many friends, and have a good reputation, so I want to invite you to be the manager of the brokerage company."
Chen Ziqiang said: "Young Master, Aaron told me about it two days ago. I'm very surprised at everything. First of all, thank you Mr. Yang for looking up to me and letting me take on this important task. However, Aaron only briefly talked about what this agency will do, and I don't know much about it. Can you give me a detailed introduction?"
Yang Ye nodded and said, "Of course, our agency is mainly divided into three functions. The first is to establish a trainee system. And explore and improve this system."
Chen Ziqiang asked: "What is a trainee?"
