Chapter 387 The signing of the behind-the-scenes personnel
Huang Baiming had no objections to Feng Yifeng's seizing the opportunity and encouraging Tsui Hark to establish a film studio before the conditions were ripe. But he also understood that Tsui Hark's opportunity was rare. Who knew that after missing this opportunity, he would
When will the next opportunity come?
Come? It can provide funds, including production and distribution, and has a huge theater chain to support it. Although it does not include Hong Kong, as long as it is released in Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asia, it will basically not lose money. This kind of good opportunity is for
Tsui Hark has benefited and done no harm.
Tsui Hark helped New Art City make films, and the outside world also praised him and his wife Shi Nansheng as the Seven Monsters of New Art City. However, Tsui Hark has never been contractually bound by New Art City. Even if he now sets up his own
The studio, and Wong Pak Ming can't blame him. Besides, this is Tsui Hark's ultimate goal of returning to Hong Kong to make movies. Even if Wong Pak Ming doesn't want to, he can't show it, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.
Although Huang Baiming can't stop anything, his face will definitely not look good. Eric Tsang is sitting next to him and understands what Huang Baiming is thinking in his heart. Tsui Hark is undoubtedly a genius, or a genius. If he can stay at Xinyi City with peace of mind,
Help new art
If the city is filming in the city, then New Art City will not worry about not having good films produced, nor will it worry about not having the chance to win awards in the future. However, this time Mai Jia and Lei Juekun really hurt Tsui Hark's heart, making him disappointed with New Art City.
Yu, even once turned to Xinyi City's mortal enemy Jiahe for help.
Now the problem is solved, but if Tsui Hark sets up his own studio, whether it is linked to "Tianchen Entertainment" or "Siyuan Pictures Company", Tsui Hark's filming for New Art City will almost come to nothing. Zeng Zhiwei doesn't care
These, although he is very fond of Xinyi City
He has feelings and is very grateful to New Arts City for its support, otherwise he would not have the chance to successfully establish himself as a director with "The Best Partner". But in the face of his own dream, Eric Tsang feels that Tsui Hark has such a choice.
Strangely enough, I was actually happy for him.
Patting Huang Baiming's shoulder comfortingly, Zeng Zhiwei said: "Don't think too much. We should be happy for Mr. Xu to get such a good opportunity. Don't look at it from the perspective of a company, but from the perspective of a friend."
Congratulations and congratulations to him, you will feel better."
Huang Baiming twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, raised his glass, and said to Tsui Hark, who was talking loudly with Feng Yifeng: "Old weirdo, congratulations to you. You have been telling us all these years that you want to shoot the movie of your imagination, and shoot the perfect movie."
Make your own movie and make a movie that resonates with the audience. Now that you have finally made your first successful movie, I, as a friend, should congratulate you. Come and drink this."
Tsui Hark was very happy and excited. He accepted all the pie offered by Feng Yifeng. He also had his own set of ideas for the film studio. He thought that some of his ideas were very whimsical and even crazy.
He was refuted by Feng Yifeng. But he never expected that Feng Yifeng actually had the same idea as him - to sign the staff behind the scenes.
When filming a movie in Hong Kong, except for the martial arts teams such as the Cheng Jia Ban, Yuan Jia Ban, Yuan Jia Ban, and Hong Jia Ban, the rest of the behind-the-scenes staff are basically guerrillas. They don’t want the martial arts team.
The crew hired a team of martial artists, and basically the whole team worked together, and everyone had something to eat.
But the rest of the behind-the-scenes staff are different. They are all independent. If someone asks you to film, whether it is the screenwriter, director, photography, lighting, editing, radio, etc., even a cup of tea, they are all in one place.
After several companies invested in a film, they found it one after another. They never served which film company or which company.
There are no bosses, they serve themselves, and they are their own bosses. As long as someone asks you to work, you will have a job and food to eat. In fact, this phenomenon is very common in the Hong Kong film industry, because there is no one company
, it is simply not economical to maintain such a large group of people just because there are no movies to film.
Although this phenomenon will cause a delay in the filming of a movie, requiring the director, producer and planner to find and hire a production team, lack of team coordination and other disharmonious phenomena, it can reduce the expenditure of the film and television company.
No one thinks there is anything wrong. Therefore, the hired behind-the-scenes staff are generally hard-working and never cut corners, because as long as you do a good job, it is very likely that the next drama will appear again in the creative team.
your name.
This kind of production environment made Tsui Hark very unaccustomed, and he felt that everything was not going smoothly and he felt aggrieved. So he thought that if he had his own studio, he would hire and set up a professional creative team.
Sign a contract with them and ensure their basic life even if there is no filming. Only in this way,
Only when the team has centripetal force and long-term cooperation and running-in can the director and the team reach an ideal tacit understanding. As long as the director makes an action, a look, photography, lighting and editing, the director can fully understand the effect he needs.
.Only in this way can the movies produced be of high quality.
But before Tsui Hark tried this idea, his wife, Shi Nansheng, trampled it to pieces. "Do you think there will be bosses of film and television companies who will panic with too much money and have to take money even if they don't have a show?"
To support a large number of idle people? Do you think that company will spend more than ten, or even twenty or thirty people's salary a year just because of the tacit understanding of cultivating a creative team? Hong Kong people are very realistic and there is no profit or benefit.
, never
Some people do it. Of course, there are some whimsical people among them, who hold unrealistic dreams and do things that people think are crazy." When he said this, Shi Nansheng looked straight at Tsui Hark,
What the words refer to is self-evident. "I can guarantee that if you tell this idea to any film and television company boss, the nicer one will laugh it off, and the bad-tempered one will think you are amusing him and use a broom handle.
You get kicked out."
It was because of his wife's teasing that Tsui Hark gave up on this idea, because this kind of idea is unrealistic in today's Hong Kong film industry. Because a creative team cannot be good at any kind of film. For example,
Some directors and cinematographers are good at kung fu action films, some are good at art films, and some are good at suspense and horror films.
There are very few people who are good at horror films, and some have a special liking for comedy films. If one person wants to take advantage of all the others, it is very rare. So if a company shoots different types of films, does it need to train and hire multiple people who are good at it?
Aren't there different types of production teams? Even if the company has money, it won't spend it like this, and it will just be called a loser.
I thought this idea would be difficult to realize, but Tsui Hark accidentally mentioned it just now, and was praised by Feng Yifeng. However, after talking to Feng Yifeng, I discovered that although Feng Yifeng also agreed to sign contracts with creative staff behind the scenes, it was only limited to the most important positions.
On, categories such as screenwriting, directing, photography, beauty
Pointing and editing. But this is already very good. If you sign a good screenwriter, you won't have to worry about not having a good script for filming. Director and cinematographer are important positions in any film. As for pointing and editing,
That is an essential part of the pre-production and post-production of a film.
I thought that this had reached the limit, and Tsui Hark had nothing more to ask for, but in the end Feng Yifeng gave him another surprise. Because he had reached an agreement with Wu Siyuan, "Tianchen Entertainment" would become the largest shareholder of "Siyuan Pictures Company"
, the management of the company is still handed over to Wu Siyuan. Therefore, Feng Yifeng will hang Tsui Hark's studio under the "Siyuan Pictures Company". As for the behind-the-scenes staff except the above-mentioned accidents, Feng Yifeng can
Ask Tsui Hark to contact professionals in this field and sign letters of intent with them. As soon as a movie starts filming, these people who signed the letters of intent will be considered first and hired for different positions based on their strengths until the filming is completed. In this way
No matter the director or producer, there is no need to find people to start work on the last minute after the film is planned. This is not only good for the film and the company, but also good for the large group of people behind the scenes.
Although it is not a contract, it is already very good. Tsui Hark believes that as long as he is determined, he can cultivate a team that works well with him among this group of people. As long as he starts a show in the future, this group of people will be his creation.
The bottom of the class.
Just when Tsui Hark was happy and wanted to continue the discussion with Feng Yifeng, Huang Baiming's toast and congratulations came over. Tsui Hark has now forgotten the purpose of coming here today, and Huang Baiming accompanied him here very loyally, because today is really a special day.
There were too many surprises waiting for him, so Tsui Hark smiled so hard at Huang Baiming's congratulations.
"Haha! Congratulations! Congratulations!" After drinking up the wine glass in his hand, Tsui Hark felt that he was still not satisfied. He took the bottle and refilled all the wine glasses, including Weng Meiling's, and stood up excitedly.
He paid tribute to Feng Yifeng: "Today is the happiest day in the years since I returned to Hong Kong, except the day when my first movie premiered. Because
Because I got to know Mr. Feng, my dream will be realized one day. I would like to toast Mr. Feng and thank you for your trust in me. Apart from my ability in making movies, I, Tsui Hark, don’t know much about pretense, but I still know how to be grateful.
I also know that Mr. Feng doesn’t need my help for anything, but from now on, as long as Mr. Feng says a word, I, Old Monster Xu, will never say anything. Do it!”
The glass was full, and Tsui Hark drank it all without changing his expression. Seeing this scene, Huang Baiming could only sigh inwardly, because he knew very well that it would be difficult for Xinyi City to cooperate with Tsui Hark again in the future.
The Seven Monsters of Xinyi City will probably disappear. If he ever
He glanced at Eric Tsang next to him for the first time, because Feng Yifeng was introduced by Zeng Zhiwei. Zeng Zhiwei also said that Feng Yifeng and him had been friends since childhood. There was no guarantee that Zeng Zhiwei would leave Xinyi City in the near future to find a broader place.
stage.
In fact, Feng Yifeng has always paid attention to Wong Pak Ming's lonely expression, because among the many stars in Hong Kong who can write, direct and act, the one he admires most is undoubtedly Wong Pak Ming. Although Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung can also be writers and directors, they
Most of the creations
Only limited to action movies. But Huang Baiming is different. Whether he was an actor at first, such as "Ghost Mazhi Duo Xing", "Chasing Girls", etc., or he was a director of "Happy Ghost Collision", "Happy Events at Home", etc., or he was a screenwriter.
[Happy Fairy Nest], [Scared for Little Students], etc.
, are all based on light comedies. Don’t think that he can only write and direct comedies. He wrote "The Wrong Car", "The Best Partner", "Why Do You Have Me" and "A Lang's Story", and only four men
The protagonist becomes the best actor, but there is a romantic literary film in it
and tragic film themes are among them. There are also various themes such as "Life and Death Express", "Wolf Kiss Night Terror", "Midnight Song", "Love Fantasy", etc. He has participated in screenwriting and directing.
, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an all-rounder.
These are just some of Huang Baiming's abilities. After New Art City ended with the withdrawal of partner Mai Jia, Huang Baiming established "Oriental Film Distribution Co., Ltd." to compete in Hong Kong again. Producer, producer, planner, producer, no matter what position it is
, Huang Baiming is chic and steady. This shows his ability, whether in front of the screen, behind the scenes or in administrative work, he is able to handle it with ease.
Feng Yifeng naturally understood that Huang Baiming was sad because Tsui Hark had inadvertently recruited him. He then thought about it, why did Huang Baiming appear here? Tsui Hark was recruited by him, and he didn't say anything to stop him? Feng Yifeng suddenly said to Huang Baiming: "Mr. Huang
, if you were given a film company that was completely under your control and no one would hinder or interfere with your management, would you be interested in leaving New Art City and switching to another place?"
