While Hong Kong was curious about this film, Xiao Ran continued his directing work quietly. As the crew became more and more skilled, the progress was very fast. Interestingly, among one of the supporting actors, Xiao Ran discovered a
A good talent, a good talent for performing.
Today we filmed a very important scene, the gun battle scene at the end. For some reason, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of the movie "Initial D", and an idea struck him, and he immediately thought of the good subject of racing.
Now that he thought of racing, Xiao Ran immediately thought of the famous car god in Hong Kong. This car god was a gangster, but in Xiao Ran's memory, he was not sure what kind of society he belonged to. However, he heard that the car god was very sharp.
, I even tried to compete with others without applying the brakes while blindfolded, and I still managed to win.
With such a racing director, the effect of the filming must be good. Xiao Ran thought so, but was woken up by You Zhi and scanned for a week, and found that the crew was ready. This is a quite large warehouse, six movies
The cameras are all in place, the lighting engineer and sync sound are all ready.
Xiao Ran called Fa Ge and Su Renyao over and said the last thing: "When you two shoot, remember not to blink!"
Looking at the countless mirrors at the scene, Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction. Many famous action directors like to create some external objects on the scene as a foil to set off the romantic feeling. For Wu Yusen, pigeons and churches are a kind of
Commonly used methods, and what Xiao Ran wants to use now is glass powder.
After shouting a sentence, Xiao Ran saw only six cameras shooting in various aspects, either with close-ups or long shots. In fact, shooting such a gunfight scene was not done in one go, but intermittently. And Xiao Ran will remember the scene notes behind him.
The actors' emotions in the previous scene and shot, as well as the position of other props, to facilitate continuity.
Shooting is a very boring thing. Just like writing, it feels a bit like being pregnant for ten months. You have to wait until the moment you give birth to give people a relaxed feeling. That kind of joy is what the author and director are pursuing.
After filming the gunfight scene intermittently, Xiao Ran began to work on the scene where Yaodong's head was missing. The requirements for this scene were very demanding, requiring high-speed camera movement and special effects support. Xiao Ran was not sure at first.
Whether it was possible to complete such special effects, but after Lan Naicai said: "It's very simple!", he relaxed.
He didn't want the film he made to be like most Hong Kong films of the time, with the dummies used in it even a blind person could see. Lan Naicai found a lot of materials, such as flour, and after a few days of
The meticulous carving has made this human head very realistic.
All that was left was how to actually operate it. After discussing it with the stunt team, we finally finalized the specific operation conditions of this scene. When the filming started, Fa Ge and Asu went into battle in person at the same time and slid on the roof. In order to ensure that nothing happened
, Xiao Ran even used all the cameras to capture the intense movement.
The filming of the last scene finally started. The whole crew was waiting for Xiao Ran's instructions. The scripts they received were incomplete and they had no idea how the story would end. Therefore, Xiao Ran had to temporarily arrange the scene.
, directing each unit of the crew to organize appropriate set design, etc.
After the operation was completed, Xiao Ran glanced at the supporting actor who came to meet Yaodong. This was the actor he admired. After arranging everything, Xiao Ran called the shaved brother Fa and the actor named Zhang Wenle over to give the final explanation.
A scene: "In this scene, Fa Ge is about to die, and he is shot from behind by Ah Le. Fa Ge, I want you to fall to the ground as soon as you are shot. Don't hesitate at all. And
Ah Le, this is your line!"
Passing a piece of paper to Zhang Wenle, Xiao Ran looked at the stunned two people seriously: "What? Don't you like this ending?"
"Aran, you..." Zhou Runfa simply didn't know what to say. There were so many traps in this movie. I didn't expect that the character he played had just escaped from death in the battle. He thought he would definitely escape. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran was actually there.
Such a move comes at the end.
"It's okay, trust me!" Xiao Ran waved his hand and asked them to study the last scene. This is a very shocking ending and must not be messed up.
Fortunately, the scene ended perfectly when Zhang Wenle raised his hand and shot Fa Ge in the back of the head. However, Xiao Ran shouted "stop" and the crew members got rid of the shock just now. No one expected that
, this is the ending.
Glancing at Zhang Yaozong and Lin Daoyun who were stunned beside him, Xiao Ran burst out laughing. He thought this was really good. If it could surprise everyone, the film would be considered a 30% success: "How is it? Azong, Azong
Yun, after the filming is finished, it will depend on your performance. After following it for so long, you should know it by heart!"
When possible, editors and composers always try to follow the director so that they can discuss where to edit and where to score. This is an industry practice. Although no one stipulates it, everyone does it.
It is executed like this.
The next day, at 9:30 in the morning, Wei Dongling received an urgent call, telling Xiao Ran a very heavy news: "Xinyi City has been acquired, and Fang Ruohai is here!"
New Art City was acquired by Fang Ruohai? If he hadn't developed strong self-control, Xiao Ran would have jumped three feet high. However, now he was also extremely shocked. He never expected that Fang Ruohai would come.
Such a move.
Lei Kaitai had no reason to betray Xinyi City, but why did this happen? Xiao Ran didn't know, but he wanted to know clearly. So, he immediately went to An Yuxuan to buy a boat ticket, and he wanted to rush back immediately!
After instructing You Zhi and Yu Jiayu to finish the cleaning work here, they immediately returned to Hong Kong. Xiao Ran returned to Hong Kong under the protection of the sun and monkeys. As soon as they got off the boat, they saw Wei Dongling coming to pick up the boat in person. Xiao Ran knew that,
I'm afraid things are more than that simple.
After getting into Wei Dongling's Mercedes-Benz, Xiao Ran didn't say anything, but looked at Wei Dongling with an unchanged expression: "What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail!"
In fact, Wei Dongling didn't even know what happened, because it all happened so suddenly. At a little after nine o'clock this morning, New Art City issued the news that it was acquired by a company called Haisen Group, and at the press conference
The new person in charge who appeared online is none other than Fang Ruohai.
"What is Haisen Group?" Xiao Ran rubbed his nose, all this happened really suddenly. He thought that Fang Ruohai would start over, so he wouldn't need to spend too much money, but he didn't expect that he would directly acquire it.
New Art City.
Wei Dongling also looked at a loss. He obviously didn't know much about the Haisen Group. As soon as he returned to the company, he saw Guan Xin, who was already recovering from his injuries, hurried over with a piece of information: "This is
It’s information from Haisen Group, you’re in trouble this time!”
Haisen Group is the product of the merger of Fang International Corporation and Bowen Group at the end of 1987. Fang Enterprises holds 20% of the equity in Haisen Group with assets of US$800 million, while Bowen Group is the
The real major shareholder.
"The most important thing is, take a look at the bottom line!" Guan Xin's expression was also very serious. Ever since he knew that he was likely to continue this mission for a long time, he basically gave up on the mission. Anyway, he
I like these two disciples Xiao Ran and A Dong very much, and I have a growing sense of belonging to Phantom.
"On September 15, 1987, Fang Ruoxin, the youngest daughter of the Fang family, married the son of the president of Bowen Group." After Xiao Ran read this, he already knew everything. Now he thought he really understood Fang Ruohai's subsequent $500 million in the stock market crash.
Where did it come from? However, he still guessed wrong, and the money did not entirely belong to the Bowen Group.
From this information, Xiao Ran learned that Bowen Group had been trying to acquire Fang's enterprise, but had never been successful. Therefore, after the marriage, Fang Poli and Wen Bowen, the president of Bowen Group, negotiated a merger and everyone worked together.
make money.
"This time, with Fang Ruohai's persuasion, both Fang Poli and Wen Bowen agreed to Fang Ruohai's plan to invest in movies. Therefore, Fang Ruohai raised about 300 million U.S. dollars from Haisen Company!" Guan Xin looked at him.
If you don't move, what you say is really not very good.
Xiao Ran knew, of course he knew. Fang Ruohai came here not only to make money from the movie, but also to take revenge. Originally, the hatred was not that deep, but after the stock market crash, even a little friction could escalate into a world war.
"What are they doing?" Xiao Ran turned his head and looked at Wei Dongling with a stern expression: "I definitely don't believe that Fang Ruohai just showed up when he took over New Art City. He must have a back-up plan!"
"No!" Wei Dongling was really not sure. Now he couldn't catch any wind. He hesitated before saying: "By the way, Fang Ruohai acquired not only New Art City, but also New Art Treasure.
!”
Xinyibao is a record company invested by Lei Kaitai, and it is completely of the same origin as Xinyi City. Therefore, Xiao Ran does not take it seriously that this record company was bought. The problem is that he is now very eager to try to understand what else Fang Ruohai wants to do.
ghost!
Soon Xiao Ran knew what Fang Ruohai was up to. Lu Can, the manager of the production department, knocked on the door and came in, handing over an envelope. Followed closely were Tang Wenjing, the head of the planning department, and the artist training department.
of Hai Lulu.
Just when Guan Xin was still confused, Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling looked at each other, with anger hidden in their eyes. By now, if they didn't know what Fang Ruohai wanted to do, they would be really stupid.
Lu Can was obviously elected as the person to speak on behalf of him. He smiled awkwardly, handed the envelope to Wei Dongling, and then said to the two of them: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wei, Haisen Group is offering twice the
The price is poaching us.”
Wei Dongling was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Lu Can, what do you mean..."
Reaching out to stop Wei Dongling's scolding, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and thought that Fang Ruohai's move was not without its poison. He just poached some of the most important senior executives of Phantom Company with just one move. Don't think it's nothing.
It's amazing. There are no problems with administration. Even Fang Ruohai may not like Phantom's administrative staff.
However, the production department is related to film production and needs a supervisor who can manage everything in an organized manner. The planning department is more artistic. Everything such as scripts is under the management of this department. The artist training department is also owned by Phantom Company.
The source of new blood. Now he was poached all at once. This is definitely a very poisonous move.
Xiao Ran smiled slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, forming a very strange rhythm in the silent room. Being stared at by Xiao Ran for a long time, Lu Can and others felt ashamed at the same time.
Originally, this poaching was a common thing, but don't forget that in addition to the administrative staff, Phantom Company's film-related departments are all new people. It was Phantom Company that promoted them and let the world know their abilities, but in
It is absolutely morally reprehensible to leave the company at this critical moment.
There was a hint of ridicule in Xiao Ran's smile, and he finally stopped the terrible knocking and said in a calm tone: "Haisen Group may be a really good place to live. You can be unreasonable, but I can't be ruthless. I agree with you."
Resignation!"
Wei Dongling sighed, he didn't expect that something like this would happen in just one year. Shopping malls are really like battlefields. Movies are actually both commodities and shopping malls. As long as there are interests, there will be commercial conflicts, which is inevitable.
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Lu Can and the others couldn't help but lower their heads. This kind of thing is definitely not very honorable, especially when the boss is still very loyal. Of course, they don't know that Xiao Ran wants to eat them now.
He has a heart, and everything on the surface is just pretending.
Lu Can, who was elected as the resignation representative, glanced at the managers on both sides and plucked up the courage to say the following sentence, but his head dropped lower: "Mr. Xiao, we are not the only ones resigning this time, our department and
There are a few people in other departments who want to resign!"
Xiao Ran was suddenly shocked. If he did this, wouldn't he poach half of the entire Phantom? Wouldn't it destroy the company structure that he had spent more than a year organizing? A ball of anger arose in his heart, and he immediately stepped forward.
!
As Xiao Ran suddenly opened his eyes and took a step forward, Lu Can, Hai Lulu and others were all captured by Xiao Ran's momentum and involuntarily took a few steps back. It was not until Xiao Ran stopped his progress that they reluctantly stopped.
Lived backwards.
