Chapter 219 The Hong family class had a falling out
Chengtian Headquarters
From time to time there was the sound of things breaking in the office, and the secretary stood outside shivering.
Inside the house, Wu Kebo was destroying everything he could see.
He was very angry, angry at being tricked by Wang Jinghua.
The agreement to join Chengtian was almost over, and he had already discussed it with his boss in Japan, but Wang Jinghua changed his mind.
This disrupted a series of Wu Kebo's plans.
He originally wanted to make a big fuss by joining Wang Jinghua, but Cheng Tian made a brilliant appearance and blinded the entire entertainment industry.
With Wang Jinghua and a large number of stars under his banner, it will be easy to get investment from his Japanese father, and then acquire Jin Yingma Film and Television to complete the production process. In this way, Chengtian will be a normal film and television company. .
But now, Wang Jinghua has changed his mind, and subsequent investment is expected to be negative. He is unable to acquire a production company. How will Chengtian develop?
Outside the door, seeing that the time was getting closer, the secretary had no choice but to knock on the door even if she didn't dare. After receiving a affirmative reply, the secretary opened the door cautiously: "Mr. Wu, the time you agreed with Director Wu Yusen We'll be there soon..."
Hearing Wu Yusen, Wu Kebo calmed down. The previous road didn't work. It seemed that the only choice now was Wu Yusen.
……
Hong Kong
The early scenes of "Taken" were filmed in Hong Kong.
Lao Li, played by Chen Daoming, came to Liang Jiahui: "I don't have enough manpower, would you like to come over and help me?"
"What help?"
"A star's concert security, It’s as simple as drinking water for you.”
Liang Jiahui knew that this was because his old friend saw how miserable he was during this period and introduced him to opportunities to make money.
Actually, I really don’t need it, but I can’t refuse the kindness of an old friend.
Next scene, Coliseum
Boss Yang is really generous. In order to shoot the concert scene, he really prepared to hold a concert.
But he was rejected by Zhang Chen. It would be too difficult to control and it would be easy for something to happen.
He didn’t want negative news to appear before the film was released.
However, this matter can also be used as a publicity point.
The concert has turned into a fan meeting. There is no need to take a large panoramic shot anyway. It is no problem to gather all the fans together to take pictures.
Zhang Chen has seen the popularity of twins in Hong Kong. It is really booming. No wonder "Next Stop, Queen of Heaven" is on the scene.
In later generations, the tickets for the Twins concert at the Coliseum were sold out in two seconds. Although there is no electronic ticket sales now, as soon as the news was announced to the fan group, the tickets were sold out within half an hour. I don’t know if there are any. No scalpers.
The filming continued. The next scene was at the end of the concert. The fans were too excited. Lao Li had a premonition that something was going to happen. He led his own people to block the fans and let Liang Jiahui take the twins to leave first.
In the emergency passage, Liang Jiahui escorted the twins away quickly. In the shadows, there was a black shadow flashing, which was keenly captured by Liang Jiahui.
Then the crazy fan who had been hiding for a long time rushed out, but was knocked down by Liang Jiahui before he could reach the twins.
By the way, the person who plays the crazy fan is Photographer Chen. He volunteered to play the role. It is said that he is dating Gillian now, so he wants to appear in the same movie together.
Originally Huo Wenxi wanted to arrange for Xie Biwang, but Zhang Chen refused. The impact of the top job case was too bad, so it was better to find someone else.
Huo Wenxi could tell that Zhang Chen didn't want to see King Xie Bi.
Last time it was said that King Xie looked down on mainlanders, but this time he used the cover-up case to argue the case. Since he was not needed anyway, he had no choice but to be replaced by Photographer Chen.
Photographer Chen's acting skills are actually pretty good, obviously better than King Xie's.
If nothing else, in "Dog Eat Dog" you can see the photographer's acting skills, which are not dramatic at all.
On the contrary, when watching Xie Biwang's movies, I always feel that he can't let go and is a bit pretentious in everything he does.
Actually, if King Xie Bi can stop holding on, and with better luck, he might be able to become the second Tom Cruise.
Think about it, their routes are quite similar.
They all have handsome faces, both are not tall, and they all focus on taking dangerous shots by themselves.
In the "Mission: Impossible" series, many of Tom Cruise's scenes were shot in real life.
In "New Police Story" and "A Better Man", Xie Biwang also did the scenes of riding a bicycle downhill from a building and being kicked off the roof of a building by Wu Jing. He did not use a stand-in.
Zhang Chen sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether handsome guys all have a mentality of wanting to prove that they don't rely on their appearance to make a living.
When Liu Tianwang was young, he always wanted to prove that he was not an idol but a capable person.
All roads lead to Rome, and handsome guys all choose the same road.
Unfortunately, Hong Kong movies were already in decline when King Xie made his debut. Unlike Tom Cruise, he was born in Rome.
Zhang Chen thinks that Photographer Chen is quite suitable to play the role of a crazy fan, especially his unruly little eyes. When Liang Jiahui subdued him and pushed him to the ground, his little eyes were still unruly, which can express the madness of the fans very well. Not bad.
And he is someone who really thinks about the audience. In "The Promise" Zhang Zhizhi said, do you want to see what is under my clothes?
Photographer Chen really took the photo for everyone to see.
What kind of spirit is this?
This is communism... No, this is the selfless spirit of the Internet. The main thing is sharing.
“Click~”
Liang Jiahui finished his set of moves smoothly, but Zhang Chen suddenly shouted stop.
"Master Hong, your movements are not sharp enough, can you change it again..."
The action was designed by Fatty Hong himself. Yes, the action team this time hired the Hong family class.
The Hong family class was introduced by Zhang Jin. After all, he was once a member of the Hong family class.
As for Fatty Hong himself, he also wanted to cooperate with Zhang Chen.
Mainly out of curiosity, he rejected Cheng Long's film to see what kind of film it was, and he also wanted to see how the mainland's great directors filmed films, and how they could easily make over 100 million yuan.
At present, it seems to be nothing special, and it doesn’t feel much higher than Hong Kong movies.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll change a few moves..."
Not long after, Liang Jiahui was called over to set up a move. Zhang Chen looked at it for a few times and rejected it without waiting for the actual shot: "No, still It’s too slow~”
Fatty Hong’s face looks a little ugly, is this okay?
“What does the director want?”
Zhang Chen didn’t notice Fatty Hong’s tone and rubbed his chin to think about it, “Master Hong, it’s not that he is slow, I just feel that he is The range of movements is too big, can it be smaller?”
"Well, similar to Wing Chun?"
"No, no, no..."
"Grappling hand?"
"Somewhat similar, but not pure Capture..."
Hong Jinbao was a little irritated by what he said.
"Do you know Krav Maga?"
"Uh, I know..."
As a martial arts instructor, Tai Chi, Hong Quan, Cai Lifu, Tan Kung Fu, Jab Kick, Muay Thai, Karate, He Chido, Judo, Jeet Kune Do...
You need to understand all kinds of martial arts schools, whether they are domestic or foreign. You are not required to be proficient, but at least you must understand the characteristics of each and be able to imitate them.
This is what martial arts instructors eat.
Of course he also knew about Krav Maga. It had become very famous internationally in the past two years. Fatty Hong had naturally studied it, but he was not that proficient in it.
But if Zhang Chen made a request, he had to comply. This is what the martial arts instructor does.
“What I want is the feeling of Krav Maga. The protagonist’s background is an agent. His movements must be efficient, using the minimum effort and the shortest time to achieve the maximum effect. The range of movements must be It’s small, simple and efficient. If you can do it in one go, don’t use it twice...”
“But this way, doesn’t it make it less enjoyable to watch~”
Fatty Hong starts from his own experience.
According to Zhang Chen, it was too fast. The battle was over before the audience could react.
“No, just do as I say.”
Zhang Chen didn’t bother to explain. His concepts were different. Fatty Hong was still immersed in his own Hong Kong-style fighting style. If the concept cannot be changed in time, the Hong family class will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history.
Zhang Chen's statement made Fatty Hong a little annoyed, but he didn't get angry. After all, it was the first time to cooperate, and he also wanted to see Zhang Chen's level.
“OK, I understand, let me design it...”
Fatty Hong called his Hong family team together for discussion. After a while, he came up with a set of moves again, and Liang Jiahui and Photographer Chen followed suit.
Real shooting again, this time the effect is much better, but Zhang Chen is still a little dissatisfied.
The actions designed by Fatty Hong were at most similar to the original work, but Zhang Chen felt that the action scenes and gunfight scenes in the original version of "Hurricane Rescue" were very low, and he wanted to change them.
You can also refer to "John Wick" for the gunfight scene, but there is really no good reference for the action scene. So he just felt that the actions designed by Fatty Hong were inappropriate, but if he had to say it, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It was a simple shot, but Zhang Chen designed several sets of actions and was still not satisfied.
The way Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Chen had changed, and the Hong family class was also vaguely hostile.
But a movie is a movie, and Zhang Chen won’t make do if it doesn’t meet Zhang Chen’s requirements.
Hong Kong was originally scheduled to have two days of scenes, but it turned out that the two days were over and the filming was not finished yet.
In the evening, the Hong family class gathered in Hong Jinbao’s room to drink beer and eat roast goose.
After a few glasses of beer, almost everyone started complaining about what happened in the afternoon.
"Master Hong, where does this Zhang Chen come from? What's so great about him? Dare you point fingers at our martial arts work?"
"He's just a young boy, he knows what action is. He wants to make a show and direct our Hong family class to work..."
"Let me tell you, this guy is just looking for trouble, maybe he wants to give us a blow..."
"I I heard that he rejected Cheng Long for this drama. Is it because of this..."
"Zhang Jin, you street boy, introducing such a bad job to us is simply bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors..."
Zhang Jin looked aggrieved: "..."
You are the one in the room. Everyone who spoke to me was complaining.
I spent the whole afternoon polishing a shot, but no matter how Hong Jiaban designed it, Zhang Chen was not satisfied with the moves that came out, but he couldn't tell what he was dissatisfied with.
This made the Hong family think that Zhang Chen was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Master Hong is not as knowledgeable as him, but he has gone too far. Can a great director do this? He doesn't respect people at all..."
"That's right, Master Hong said everything about the scene in the afternoon. , this fight is too fast, and it will pass before the audience can see it clearly.
According to our design, it is best to add two more gangsters to make the protagonist tired to deal with it, so that there is a sense of urgency, but He just doesn’t listen. He insists that it’s more professional this way. He’s a fool to be professional..."
"He is a great director. After watching two foreign action movies, he felt that he could do it. Hmm, he Don’t you know that the best action directors in Hollywood are us Hong Kong people?”
Seeing that Hong Jinbao didn’t say anything, the group complained even more enthusiastically.
Hong Jinbao was also quite unhappy. Being tormented like this all afternoon made everyone feel resentful.
But he was very aware of the importance.
The show is bigger than the person~
Zhang Chen probably wasn't trying to mess with him on purpose, but this person was indeed difficult to deal with.
But he was also thinking in his heart that it was fortunate that his junior brother Cheng Long did not cooperate with Zhang Chen. If they cooperated, the two would definitely not get together.
In terms of style, Cheng Long is more stubborn than him.
But Hong Jinbao also knew that the problem was not all Zhang Chen's, he actually had it too.
Hong Jinbao is a practitioner of Hongquan, and is used to opening and closing widely, and the Hong family class is probably the same way.
So Zhang Chen’s request for something small was really hard for him to handle.
Seeing that everyone was still talking non-stop, Hong Jinbao had no choice but to say: "Okay, everyone, stop talking. We as action directors will always have the greatest effect on the film. If the director makes a request, we will be responsible for realizing it. .
Ah Wei, Jiale, when you go back, think about it more and see if you have any better ideas. "
The Ah Wei and Jiale he mentioned are the two most capable people in the Hong family class. Dong Wei and Qian Jiale are both famous action instructors in later generations.
Dong Wei once He has been nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Action Director ten times and won four times, including "The Spy Who", "Purple Rain", "The Secret Service" and "October Siege".
Qian Jiale is not to mention the action director of "Shinjuku Incident", but he is more famous for his brother Qian Xiaohao and Da Tou in "Young and Dangerous".
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Hong Jinbao gestured to open the door. Qian Jiale opened the door and found that it was Zhang Chen.
Well, it’s a bit embarrassing. Everyone must have heard everything I just said.
However, if you hear it, you will hear it. What can you do?
Those who practice martial arts are somewhat generous...
Zhang Chen didn't expect that there were so many people in Hong Jinbao's room. He came to see Zhang Jin.
"Ah, Mr. Hong, there is a meeting in your room. Let me come and see Zhang Jin..."
The other party seems to be at a party, and they all look at me unkindly.
"Ah, director, are you looking for me?"
When Zhang Jin heard that he was looking for him, he stood up immediately. When he was about to come over, he was grabbed by someone beside him.
"Street boy, just go if he comes to you. Where are you from?"
The person who spoke was another member of the Hong family class. Not only did he drag Zhang Jin to prevent him from leaving, but he also deliberately Looking at Zhang Chen, he was obviously provoking.
Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Chen and then at the members of the Hong family class who were grabbing him. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Zhang Chen looked at this scene and frowned. This was embarrassing him!
He looked at Hong Jinbao, and Hong Jinbao also looked at him.
Hong Jinbao is an old-school person. He has been tortured all day. He would be lying if he said he was not angry.
Although what his subordinates did was inappropriate, it has already happened. If he bows his head, how will he be able to lead others in the future.
In front of so many members of the Hong family class, he also wanted to save face.
In fact, it was very simple. When Zhang Chen opened his mouth, he reprimanded his subordinates a few words to give Zhang Chen some face, and the matter was over.
But Zhang Chen must open this mouth first.
But Zhang Chen didn't want to say this. When he saw that Hong Jinbao didn't express anything, he simply looked at the man and then at Zhang Jin: "Zhang Jin, are you going to get out?"
Huh?
Is this blatantly asking Zhang Jin to take sides?
Zhang Jin was shocked and understood the current situation.
At the same time, he looked at the guy next to him resentfully.
It was all him who made his own decisions and put himself in a dilemma.
Hong Jinbao didn't expect Zhang Chen to be so tough. He didn't take himself seriously at all. This reminded him of Zhou Xingxing.
"I..." Zhang Jin was still hesitating.
"Can you get out?"
Zhang Chen's tone was a little more serious. Zhang Jin gritted his teeth, broke away from the man, and came to Zhang Chen's side.
Suddenly, there was a burst of curses such as 'street boy, rebel boy, soft rice Jin'.
Zhang Chen didn't care about this. Instead, he pointed at the person who held Zhang Jin: "You, I am officially informing you that you have been fired. Find the financial settlement and get out of here immediately~"
< br>The man was shocked and angry. Before he could speak, someone spoke first.
The speaker was Sammo Hung, and he was even more shocked and angrier than that man.
It was enough for Zhang Chen to ask Zhang Jin to take sides in front of him, but to attack his people, this was simply a slap in his face.
"Director Zhang, A Le is mine, I will manage it myself~"
"Master Hong, this is my crew, I have the final say in everything~"
The two looked at each other , there seemed to be sparks and lightning in the air, and the room suddenly became quiet.
After a few breaths, Hong Jinbao suddenly said: "Okay, very good, Hong Jiaban, let's go~"
Hong Jinbao gave the order, and Hong Jiaban seemed to have found the backbone and followed. Wuyangyang left.
When leaving, some people ridiculed: "I want to see, how can you film this movie without us?"
The group of people left one after another, and the Hong Family Ban officially launched the "Hurricane Rescue" crew.
Some members of the Hong Family Class even cursed when they left: "Rufanjin, you are indeed a spineless person. The Hong Family Class should not have taken you in in the first place~"
But regardless of them Zhang Jin pretended not to hear what he was scolding.
The Hong family class has left, and now only Zhang Jin and Zhang Chen are left.
Zhang Chen nodded: "You won't regret your choice today."
Zhang Chen left, and Zhang Jin slowly closed his eyes.
