Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

Chen Moxing lived up to expectations and finished writing the plan in the afternoon. Han Shanping took it and read it carefully, his eyes lighting up and his heart racing once again.

Without stopping for a moment, they boarded the plane and flew directly to Beijing.

at the same time.

Huayi's finance team also arrived. Benshan Media purchased 1000 shares of Huayi at 3 yuan per share, and the two parties officially signed a contract.

"Xiao Mo, the fight scenes in the factory weren't written in enough detail. I think Xiao Er could have given them more room to develop."

Jackie Chan stared at the script and offered suggestions.

"Yes, Uncle Lung, I've simplified all the fight scenes. The Cheng family stunt team is much more professional than me in this regard, so Uncle Lung can just improvise."

The top action choreography teams in China are all in Hong Kong, such as the Cheng Family Team, the Yuen Family Team, and the Sammo Hung Team.

"Oh, I see. I'll check out other places. If there are no problems, I'll head back to Hong Kong immediately. You and Xiao Er wait for my call. We might need to go there early to rehearse the martial arts moves."

"No problem, Uncle Long."

Shen Mofeifan said in unison.

"Xiao Mo, something still feels off. Come and take a look."

Jiang Wen shouted loudly.

"Hey, Uncle Wen's here."

Chen Mo angrily ran over to the monitor.

Liu Yifei saw it all and felt deeply pained.

"Mom, Auntie, I'm going out for a bit."

"Do you need to bring anyone?"

"No need, no need, I'll drive and be back soon."

Liu Yifei hurriedly left the film set.

After getting into the car, he put on a hat, glasses, and a mask, covering himself up completely to ensure that fans and reporters wouldn't recognize him.

After watching the footage of the Feast at Hongmen, Chen Mo felt that compared to the later production, the dialogue was not concise enough and the information density was not high enough.

If viewers lose focus, they will miss more information, leading to a vicious cycle where they ultimately cannot understand your film.

The Feast at Hongmen is a nearly 10-minute long take, a continuous circular sequence with an extremely long dialogue.

Three cameras were focused on the three award-winning actors, with no cuts throughout the entire film.

One of a kind in the Chinese film industry.

A top-tier shot in the global film industry, featuring extremely difficult techniques.

Similar expressions have only appeared in a few films such as "Rope" and "The Man from Earth".

Jiang Wen put a lot of effort into this scene, removing an indoor wall, customizing a circular track, and having three machines operate simultaneously, with five people assigned to each machine to push the track, follow the focus, operate the machine, etc., and rehearsing for many days in advance.

Niulanshan Taizi and other wineries offered eight-figure sums to have their products integrated into Google's product portfolio.

Despite immense pressure from investors, Jiang Wen firmly refused.

Based on this alone.

Little Cannon can never compare to Master Wen.

In the original timeline, the Feast at Hongmen was filmed 35 times, taking 7 days to complete. The entire film used 55 feet of film, with the Feast at Hongmen alone using 18 feet, equivalent to the total amount of film used in a low-budget film.

"call…"

Jiang Wen let out a long breath.

As an internationally renowned director, his experience and skills are beyond question. Even so, he was still full of worries about this scene, fearing that the audience would not understand it or accept it.

There isn't a single film in China where characters talk for ten minutes in the same scene.

"Uncle Wen, give me the script."

Chen Mo extended his palm.

"Give."

Jiang Wen handed it over without hesitation.

When filming "Project Gutenberg", Chen Mo only decided on the title "Let the Bullets Fly", changed a few plot points such as the cold noodle shop, and most of the plot was changed by Jiang Wen himself.

Chen Mo has been too busy these past few days to read the script.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Without hesitation, Chen Mo wielded his pen, crossing out lengthy lines and adding several memorable scenes, especially the final scene where the three award-winning actors reached a preliminary consensus and gave each other a business summary.

Advisor, brilliant!

It's long and hard!

Mr. Huang is both tall and strong!

When everyone saw Chen Mo changing Jiang Wen's lines on the spot, they all swarmed around him.

The photography crew, in particular, consisted of 15 staff members operating the equipment.

They desperately wanted Chen Mo to take action and quickly film this difficult and tedious scene.

The opening scene, where they're eating hotpot and singing, took over a dozen takes; the pain of that experience is still fresh in my memory.

A little girl wearing a bellyband also peeked out to watch.

The girl had extremely fair skin and was exceptionally beautiful.

She has acted in works such as "Love Transfer" and "Fate Transfer", and her representative work is the TV series "The Myth", in which she played Princess Yu Shu.

She ranked 13th on the list of the most popular goddesses in mainland China in 2010.

Snow.

An artist under Huang's company had long known that the young master of Benshan Media was a prodigy born for film, and today he finally met him in person.

My first impression: Super handsome!

"Tell me!"

Chen Mo looks professional and serious when he's working.

Everyone was already used to it, so they quickly perked up their ears to listen.

"First, the dialogue was streamlined to highlight the tension and the narrative pace was sped up, reducing the 10-minute footage to 8 minutes."

"clear."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, the photography team—anyone makes mistakes. They rely on rehearsals to familiarize themselves with positioning, lighting, focus, etc., to ensure zero errors throughout the entire process. The filming is extremely difficult."

"Yes, Director Chen, it's very difficult to control the pace, whether it's fast or slow. A slight difference can lead to a huge error."

The photography team deeply empathized with the situation.

It's not that they didn't put their heart into it; they had never filmed such an extremely difficult long take before.

"Props team, I'll tell you what to do, and you'll write it down."

Chen Mo then looked at the props team leader.

"Director Chen, please speak."

"First, mark the track surface with graduations and footprints. Make sure they are invisible and matte to ensure they don't give away the look."

"Director Chen, what does this mean?"

"The track-mounting operator and the focus follower have every step, stop point, and speed change marked with scales. They don't need to find the rhythm by feeling. I need to lock every piece of data to ensure that everyone moves according to the points, and the rhythm is naturally unified. This way, there will be no chaos."

The mindset of an old-school STEM guy: all problems are quantified.

This is absolutely a devastating blow to most film and television workers who are essentially "out of touch" with reality.

and.

Chen Mo's rigorous filming techniques are the result of experience gained through the maturation of the film industry in later generations.

This positioning shooting technique originated abroad and was adopted by Hong Kong films in the 90s. For example, the long takes in films such as "The Mission," "Big Event," and "In the Mood for Love" had the concept of positioning, but not as detailed and comprehensive as Chen Mo's.

Unfortunately, AI technology is not yet mature.

Later models used electric intelligent circular tracks, with all micro-operations completed by artificial intelligence, ensuring both high-quality and fast filming.

"Oh, I see."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed how awesome Director Chen was.

They even came up with this kind of solution.

That's a monster!

"Finally, Master, pay attention to your eyes and subtle facial expressions. The essence is to be domineering yet cunning, smiling yet treacherous. When Uncle Ge takes the diamond, he kisses Bai Xue to highlight his character. The essence is to be both slippery and cowardly, adept at navigating both sides. Uncle Wen, you must control the pace well, ensuring that the three of them exude a powerful yet restrained aura, tight yet not rushed."

Chen Mo didn't tell Jiang Wen what Zhang Mazi's essence was, but Uncle Wen knew in his heart that he still had to give him the respect he deserved.

"Okay, Xiao Mo."

The three nodded with different expressions.

"Understood, Director Chen."

Bai Xue said sweetly.

Director Chen actually knew her name.

I was... flattered and overwhelmed.

"Master, Uncle Wen, Uncle Ge, these are new lines. If you can't remember them, put a teleprompter off-camera."

Chen Mo wanted to take the easy way out.

"You brat, who do you think you are? Your master isn't senile yet."

Zhao Benshan was full of confidence.

"You get on with the technical stuff. Our acting skills won't let us down."

Jiang Wen patted his chest and assured him.

"Xiao Mo, your markings and footprint stickers are really cost-effective."

Ge You praised it.

Standardized and data-driven filming is something Europe and Hollywood excel at, while Chinese-language films are still too closed off and have a long way to go.

The older folks went to the side to rehearse their lines.

Chen Mo continued to arrange the shooting details, and the entire photography crew put on headsets to ensure that the director, camera operator, track controller, lighting technician, and script supervisor were on the same wavelength.

The timecode synchronizer completely locks the frame rate and timecode of all machines, eliminating any difference in video speed.

The focus point chart records the distance between the subject and the lens every second, creating a focus reference table. It tells you which point to turn to which focus, eliminating the need for blind focusing on the spot and greatly reducing errors.

Marco watched as Chen Mo, who was busy communicating with the staff and checking whether the props were placed according to standards, became hoarse from talking so much that his eyes were a little red.

Xiao Mo.

Do you want a Ferrari or not?
