48, finish
The filming of the movie made Liu Dapao feel very fresh. After watching it, I realized that this is how the movie was shot.
As the actors gradually get better, the shooting progress of [Heroic Characters] is getting faster and faster. According to this progress, it is estimated that it will take less than a month to finish the filming.
Of course, the fruits and vegetables of Diaojingling are indispensable here, because when shooting in Diaojingling, the meals were all at Liu Dapao's house. The fruits and vegetables are produced by Diaojingling and the taste is quite good, which makes the actors feel refreshed after eating. After taking pictures for one day, they even feel very relaxed.
Especially Chow Run's performance is very admirable. He has completely emerged from the state in the TV series and is really familiar with the role of Brother Xiao Ma.
Many classic scenes made Liu Dapao very happy to watch, and the audience was also very happy to watch. He often couldn't help but applaud and interrupted the crew's shooting. When he arrived at the back, Wu Yusen simply refused to let the audience in.
However, even director Wu Yusen has praised Chow Yun-fat more than once. He has come into contact with thousands of actors. This time he looks at Chow Yun-fat with admiration, proving that Chow Yun-fat is indeed doing well.
Can such a brother still be a box office poison?
The old actor Di Long also performed well, and this time he invited him was not wrong. Leslie Cheung and Li Zixiong also gradually entered the best state as the plot deepened. They still look immature now, but it does not affect the viewing of the entire work.
Twenty days passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Dapao appeared and was about to finish the filming.
It is said that Wang Jing is the fastest filming in Xiangjiang, but in fact Wu Yusen is not slow to film. As long as the actors are in good condition, they can shoot many scenes that day.
What I'm going to shoot today is the last scene.
This scene is very tragic. Brother Ma finally died in order to save Song Zihao, and then the great love between brothers. Song Zihao was willing to sacrifice for his younger brother and was imprisoned. Song Zijie finally shed tears.
This plot will definitely make the audience scold them, but this effect can better reflect the plot's development and human nature.
The so-called [Police and Bandit Movie] usually has a bit of tragic ending. Liu Dapao can also foresee that with the release of [Heroic Reality], similar works will spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
"Ok! The last scene has passed, and I announce that [Heroic Reality] has been officially completed!"
Wu Yusen's words made everyone in the crew who had worked hard for twenty-two days cheer.
"Wow, it's finally over, it's liberated!"
"Okay, OK, finally the filming is over."
"Village Chief, is there a closing banquet?"
The last question was asked by Leslie Cheung.
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "Of course there can be, tonight, everyone will not return without getting drunk!"
"Yeah! Long live the village chief!"
Everyone cheered again.
After packing up, the crew rushed back to the company. Of course, Lao Zeng arranged the film handling. Liu Dapao called Lao Zeng to the office and asked him about the theater.
"Lao Zeng, do you think our work is better to be delivered to Shaw Brothers Cinema or Jiahe Cinema?"
Lao Zeng thought about it and said, "The share ratio of the two theaters is very strict with the film companies. If [Heroic Characters] is released, the box office can exceed 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, we can only get half of it, and the overseas box office ratio is even lower. I am a little inclined to Shaw Brothers. After all, Shaw Brothers can sell the top spots now. Our work can easily bring sensational effects to Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and it is easy to take some initiative in negotiations. Besides, this is A's work, and Uncle Six and Aunt Six should give some face."
Liu Dapao nodded, Lao Zeng’s analysis was still very reasonable.
"Okay, I plan to invite Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu to attend tonight's final banquet. You can arrange it and say it's what I mean. Forget it, I'll call myself!"
Liu Dapao said.
......
Under the night, the lights of the Peninsula Hotel are dazzling.
This is a hotel that can be ranked among the top in Xiangjiang. The staff of Feitian Film and the members of the [Heroic Characters] crew are all here.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua arrived.
When Liu Dapao saw them get out of the car, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, it's my honor to invite you. Come and invite you inside."
Liu Dapao said with a smile.
Shao Yifu nodded and acted calmly. He had this qualification because he was a senior. Fang Yihua also had a smile on his face. This voice of Aunt Liu made her very happy because she was not Shao Yifu's original wife.
After entering the hotel and the seat, everyone exclaimed again. Liu Dapao was able to invite Shao Jutou to attend the final banquet, but it was not a celebration banquet. What does this mean? This shows that Liu Dapao has connections!
The table where Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were sitting was only Liu Dapao, Lao Zeng and Wu Yusen. Liu Dapao asked Shao Yifu to sit in the seat, and the old man was not polite.
"We're all here, let's start the meal. Uncle Six and Aunt Six, I'm very happy that you can come tonight. I'll give you a cup first!"
Liu Dapao raised his glass with a smile, and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua sold his face.
Shao Yifu smiled and said, "Da Cannon, you can make movies so young. You have a bright future. I am old. In the future, the future of Xiangjiang will be yours."
"Haha, Uncle Six, you are so humble. Everyone knows your energy. We juniors all need your support to get on the road."
Liu Dapao said with a smile.
After eating for a while, Liu Dapao began to mention the release of [Heroic Reality] with Shao Yifu.
"Uncle Six, my work is pretty good. I want to release it with Uncle Six's cinema. I wonder if Uncle Six is willing to give me such face."
Shao Yifu nodded, but aimed at Fang Yihua. Fang Yihua understood it and immediately said, "Cannon, our arrangements for this month and next month are full, why don't we put them in November?"
Liu Dapao thought to himself that this was an excuse, right? He acted like this, and Fang Yihua probably thought he was eager to release [Heroic Reality], so he could suppress the proportion of the share.
So, Liu Dapao laughed and said, "Aunt Liu, my work can be said to be a very excellent work. Once it is released, the box office revenue will definitely exceed all the works this year. At that time, not only myself will benefit, but Shaw Brothers Cinema will also receive generous returns. I am not greedy, and the box office can be 30,000 Hong Kong dollars."
“3ooo ten thousand Hong Kong dollars?”
Fang Yihua sneered and continued, "Young people understand that they have ideas, but you should also be rational. Movies are not about selling flour, and there is no such high profit."
Liu Dapao smiled and said, "I know, but I am confident that whether a movie can succeed depends on its quality and style. Now the Xiangjiang film market is a stagnant pool. Whether it is a martial arts film, a romance film, or a so-called action film, it has entered a dead end and it is difficult to motivate the audience's appetite. My work is a brand new style, and once it is released, it will cause a strong response in Xiangjiang. I bet that once it is released, someone will soon follow the trend and shoot similar works."
When Shao Yifu heard this, he interrupted, "Da Cannon, do you really have confidence?"
"Uncle Liu, why am I kidding? So, I hope to be released as soon as possible, one day earlier, and one day earlier. After the work is edited in a few days, I will send it to the inspection office for review. If it goes well, it will be released in late August. Uncle Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Dapao said.
Shao Yifu said: "I think it's OK. Your analysis makes sense. Now the film market is indeed entering a dead end and needs fresh blood. This way, after you finish editing, you will send me the sample. Let's discuss it later."
Chapter completed!
