Chapter 880: Investigation

After finishing Liu Tianxian, Mr. Xu went to Hong Kong.
Filming of Lao Song's "Infernal Affairs" has started, "Kung Fu" is proceeding smoothly, and "Hero" is only to be released. Xu Fei received a guest in Hong Kong, a studio from Thailand.
The second pan-Asian collaboration, a low-cost action film, with a budget of 4 million US dollars.
In order to be screened in mainland China, he took some thoughts:
Wu Jingyan, a veteran, started his own business and opened a restaurant, and his business was booming. His parents died early, and there is only one younger sister.
My sister made friends online, saying that she was traveling to Hong Kong together, but she suddenly disappeared.
Wu Jing entered Hong Kong alone to start an investigation, and came across another Hong Kong policeman, Donnie Yen. The two did not know each other. They were investigating the case and found that it was an international criminal organization.
It involves human trafficking, drugs, organ trading, etc. The crime is terrible, and the nest is in Thailand.
My sister is very beautiful. She was to Thailand. Of course Wu Jing had to save her. When the Hong Kong police destroyed a stronghold, Yen Zidan's best brother was killed and the murderer escaped.
In order to avenge his brother, he would not hesitate to resign.
Zhang Jin plays a native of Thailand, a gangster who guards the tower with Tony Jia...
There is nothing to say about the plot. The beginning is "Hurricane Rescue", then "Slaying the Wolf 2", and finally the climactic passage that hits the nest, and it becomes "Raid".
The important thing is in motion design.
How to integrate modern combat concepts to make the audience feel bright. Xu Fei didn't understand, and handed it to Wu Zhi to worry.
He controls political elements, such as the identity of the protagonist.
Wu Jing must not be an active soldier or policeman. First, it is not legally tenable. Second, certain departments are afraid of causing diplomatic influence.
Yes, yes, you have to pay attention to diplomatic influence when making movies in the Mainland.
For example, in "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing was expelled from the army before going to Africa to find the murderer of Long Xiaoyun. Then, he happened to be involved in the war and happened to catch up with the evacuation of overseas Chinese. It happened that the Chinese army could not act and could only fall on him...
What kind of Interpol, special agents, went to people's land to shoot and kill people grandiosely-Hong Kong movies can have them, Hollywood can have them, and the mainland does not exist.
In short, it is Wu Jing and Yen Zidan, against Zhang Jin and Tony Jia.
Plus a vote of demons and ghosts, macho brother expensive, a cool word for asking.
Low cost, investment by Tianxia, ​​Sunshine, and Thailand, and overseas distribution. The main new genre of action movies, there is no psychological pressure.
Lao Song only feels exquisite, zombies are a matter of principle, but saving his sister can be flexible.
From then on, I learned a trick: When it comes to sensitive things on the mainland, we move the scene to overseas to do it, and the Chinese-speaking actors still perform.
For example, there is a play in later generations, the remake of "Manslaughter" in an Indian movie.
…………
After a short stay in Hong Kong, Xu Fei went to the United States.
San Francisco, "The Hulk" set.
It was not filming, but the police were rounding up a few laughing young people and running around the set. They are all white people, and can't lock their throats on their knees, a bullet...
Li Yu was helplessly pinching his waist, waiting for the police to deal with it.
Those few were college students nearby. Seeing that there was a crew here, they came to prank-Qi Qi was urinating nearby.
It was easily caught and taken away, and the crew restarted.
Eric Barna, who plays the Hulk, is wearing a special tights, wired to the computer, sitting with various movements and expressions. These forms are stored in the computer, and after special effects in the later stage, they will become invincible Hulk.
This capture technology was mature in later generations, but now it is relatively rough. It used to be rougher, the actor is the Hulk with green makeup all over.
Take a picture for a while, rest and eat.
The film has an investment of 130 million U.S. dollars, large production, and logistical support is also extremely substantial.
There is a dining car on the set, where you can order food, and you can set up a booth for outdoor shooting. There are snacks, drinks, barbecues, and ice cream. Of course, there are also levels, each with its own dining venue.
Li Yu called Xu Fei to come over and sit down at a table.
"You started this movie in March, why are you still nervous?"
"It has been delayed, and it is now expected to be completed in October."
"Isn't that 8 months?"
"Ugh……"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "In fact, I regret taking this play. The pressure on my body is okay, and I feel quite nervous."
Yes!
You are bashing!
Of course Xu Fei has watched "The Hulk", and he can't say it is bad, just bored. When the audience watched superheroes, they came rushing forward. As a result, you talked about human nature...
Eucalyptus Li has no commercial film cells, and the delicate emotions between people are good at.
"I'm sorry, I'm too busy, I don't have time to go around with you."
"It's okay, I'm also here to investigate, just to see the top special effects level and production process in Hollywood."
Ok?
Hearing this, Li Yu was taken aback and asked: "What do you mean?"
"I want to try to make a blockbuster."
"Which type?"
"Science fiction, warfare, fairy tales, fantasy...it hasn't been determined yet. At present, the intention of science fiction is relatively large."
"Then you have to prepare as early as possible, the preliminary work is very tedious."
"Yeah, so I'll take a look."
Li Yu admires this person very much. He has watched the five-year plan including Virus. The intention is obvious, to build a mature film industry system and grow from actual combat.
Xu Fei explored the class as a mainland filmmaker and producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Li Yu helped introduce the special effects recipe of "The Hulk", Industrial Light and Magic.
After the Hulk transforms, it is made entirely by special effects, not a real person.
This kind of technology is currently the most advanced and most expensive in Hollywood.
The staff of Industrial Light and Magic are very enthusiastic, and they briefly talked about it: There are more than one hundred levels of light skin, skin color, blood vessels, scars, sludge, sweat, spots, hair barabara, each element uses at least ten levels Expression can bring the Hulk to life like Barabara...
Xu Fei didn't quite understand, so he remembered the hard standard: 183 people are serving special effects!
130 million, nearly half of the budget was spent on special effects.
The secondary technology is not so expensive, the cost of "The Matrix 1" is only more than 60 million US dollars. Of course, the second soared to 150 million.
Although the domestic cost is lower than that of Hollywood, the special effects fee is what you pay for, and the total cost is still high.
With the box office volume of the mainland today, it can be lost.
Therefore, Xu Fei is extremely cautious, and to ensure quality, he has to reduce risks.
…………
"OH, Mr. Xu!"
"OH, Fat Jerry!"
"If you can, I hope you don't add some adjectives."
Saying goodbye to Eucalyptus Li, Xu Fei came to Cactus Company.
Jerry's face was red, his heart widened and fatter, and gave him a bear hug: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss the magical oriental magic."
"Didn't you give you a prophecy?"
"What do you say about "The Mist" and "Prada"? It's far from enough. Only when I see your real existence, I will be completely at ease."
Xu Fei talked to him for a while, and laughed: "There is no business or nostalgia this time. I need a copy of the services and quotations of all the special effects companies in Hollywood, and I will visit them one by one."
"OK!"
"As well as the cost of all special effects movies in the past two years, the public cost is just fine. I don't ask you to be special agents."
"That's okay."
"How about "Virus"?"
"As expected, $2 million is considered a success."
Fine.
Xu Fei nestled on the sofa, peeling off a candy-obviously Jerry's snack, and asked: "Is there any news that I would be interested in? Do you know what it is."
"The old fashioned, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" brought the trend of Chinese Kung Fu. Zhou Runfa made a "Bulletproof Monk", which will be released next year."
"Ok."
Xu Fei nodded, bad film.
"I heard that Disney will want to mix it up, combining Western fairy tales with Chinese Kung Fu, called "Snow White and the Seven Monks."
puff!
Teacher Xu stared, what kind of ghost movie title?
It's easy to associate with it.
