Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 282 Hong Kong’s largest investment in large-scale production MV

boom……

Following a noise, a bright firework went up from a house not far from Warrington Center.

"Faq! Another terrorist attack?"

"Run!"

Warrington Center is a downtown area, with dense pedestrians passing by.

Since experiencing an explosion in March, the people here have already become frightened. After hearing the explosion, the crowd suddenly became confused, and many people started to run away.

"Saori! Saori, please don't worry, this is filming, this is filming, don't worry!"

I have to say that PolyGram is very powerful in the UK.

When He Jin found PolyGram and told him that he needed to shoot a MV here, PolyGram arranged everything in just one day.

Not only did He Jin and others obtain the right to film explosion scenes here, the police in charge of Warrington even took the initiative to maintain order for them.

Haha... How can ordinary people understand the life of the rich second generation?

Looking at him, he obviously feels that his role is too small!

"I'm sorry Eddie, we are shooting a music video and there are only four minutes of scenes in total. You already have the most scenes, more than me as the protagonist!"

This MV was shot from multiple angles.

And among these three perspectives, there is one person, and that is He Jin.

"OK! Alright! Shoot some other scenes!"

At this time, the boy who had already raised his body climbed up at a very fast speed, walked to He Jin and others and asked.

"Director? Is this all I have to play? Can you give me some more scenes?"

The boy muttered, wiped his mouth, and walked to a butler in a suit who was waiting there.

As he said that, he looked at He Jin, who was also familiar with He Jin, and continued:

Filmmakers use them to avoid putting actors in dangerous situations, to reduce the cost of making movies, or even simpler, to make movies more gripping.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Mom..."

"If you have a lot of spare money, you can invest in movies better than this!"

In order to highlight that He Jin is not the person involved in the incident, the place where he is standing will be a colored light lens, and the viewing angles will be black and white.

He actually had to find a special effects company to do special effects.

Du Qifeng looked back and said speechlessly:

"The explosion scene in your MV is more spectacular than one of my movies, and it also requires special effects. All I can say is, you are awesome!"

He Jin smiled, looked seriously at the finished film that was still playing, and said:

"I feel almost embarrassed. I want to portray the horror of the collapse of the building after the explosion.

But if we want to completely recreate the situation during the explosion, we seem to be a little short of it now."

The character played by Eddie is the boy who died in the news because of this incident!

"What a bummer!"

In Hong Kong, two million Hong Kong dollars can be used to shoot a movie.

As for why I came to film.

"It was recommended by Allen from PolyGram. Don't underestimate this little guy. According to Allen, he is a rich second generation and his family has a strong background in the UK!"

"Go on, start the next scene!"

He will stand next to the camera and sing "Zombie" while every angle is played.

"Boss, I know you have money, but it's not like this. You have to shoot a lot of explosions and house collapse scenes in this MV. Now you still need to find a special effects company.

In film and television, artificial illusions and illusions are called film and television special effects (also called special effects).

But in order to be able to describe the situation at that time, whether it was the panic of the crowd fleeing during the explosion or the collapse of the building, everything had to be realistic.

His father is a banker and his mother is the owner of a large logistics company.

He Jin and Du Qifeng looked at each other and smiled.

When the MV shooting was completed and after watching the finished video, He Jin said something that made Johnnie To open his eyes wide.

These days, the most expensive scenes are always explosion scenes and special effects.

Do you know how expensive special effects are? One shot costs more than 100,000!"

Currently, there are three perspectives tentatively decided, one is the perspective of the only person who died in the accident, and the other is the perspective of all the people who were injured by the explosion and fled in a hurry.

Of course, there is no way they could really blow up the Warrington Center again.

In this way, people who watch the MV will understand at a glance why Jin is recording this event with his singing voice.

In other words, the same thing is viewed from different perspectives.

Anyway, inside the house, who knows if this is really Warrington or somewhere else.

But even if it were moved to another place, this short four-minute MV actually cost He Jin more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Because it was shot from a perspective, they chose to shoot many of the shots of houses collapsing in other places.

Johnnie To shouted.

"Where did you find the actor? His acting skills are good enough!"

But if this MV is brought back to Hong Kong, it will definitely scare a lot of filmmakers to death.

To be realistic, the explosions must be in place, and the scene of the house collapsing must also be sufficient.

At the filming location, a young actor aged 12 or 13 ran away in a panic while crying and shouting when many walls of simulated ruins collapsed.

Now, this money has been burned by He Jin on the MV. You can imagine how many people will scold you when the time comes.

The boy's name is Eddie Redmayne. According to Allen, his ancestors are all well-known big entrepreneurs and have great influence in the local area. Moreover, because of their marriage to military figures, the scope of influence even extends to the inside of the system.

Although the MV shot for more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars is far different from Michael Jackson's MV that cost 7 million U.S. dollars to shoot.

Although He Jin's MV is very short.

Seeing that the boy had finished his performance, Johnnie To shouted loudly.

Behind the filming machine, Johnnie To looked at the boy's performance in the camera and asked.

It can be said that this little guy is a real rich second generation.

He Jin said.

"Are you still looking for a special effects company?"

The last perspective is the God's perspective.

This MV doesn't have much of a plot, it just recreates the scene where the bomb was dropped on Warrington.

He Jin explained to him.

Boom! A wall of props suddenly fell down, knocking the boy down. He was vomiting blood from his mouth while struggling to stand up. After struggling for a few times, he finally lost his life and his eyes were fixedly staring in a certain direction.

The development of film special effects has been around for a long time. In 1902's "A Journey to the Moon," director Georges Méliès created a imaginative future world by making stage props.

Since then, special effects have become a must for many movies.

However, before computers came out, special effects were generally relatively simple and were called traditional special effects.

Traditional special effects can be subdivided into: makeup, scenery, pyrotechnics special effects, early film special effects, etc.
