1108 [Blue Warrior]
"Since you said you wanted to release him, then I will let him go. "Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiang Huasheng happily agreed, "What are you going to do with Liu Dashao, who instructed him?"
"Don't rush yet. Give me some time to concoct him slowly. Summer smiled slightly.
He didn't want to embarrass the loser, but people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts. If you hadn't brought your bodyguards with you, you would have suffered a loss that day.
The so-called one report for one report, this must be retaliated back.
"Okay, if you need anything, just say hello, I'll be there at any time. Xiang Huasheng said angrily.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Sheng. Summer nodded, then hung up.
Then he called Liang Botao again, "Botao, help me check someone~"
"Okay. Liang Botao said dryly, "Who do you want me to check?"
"Look up a person named Liu Gongcheng, I heard that he is also a rich man in Hong Kong, and I want all his information. Summer then commanded.
I know that this person started by selling brand-name watches and jewelry, and he began to get involved in the real estate industry in the 70s. At its peak, there were more than 20 properties under construction, and there was also a large amount of land on Lantau Island, known as the 'outlying island landlord'.
But during the Sino-British negotiations, Hong Kong's property market collapsed, and he went from being tied up in a lot of money to destitute overnight. But he was also a talent, and it took him only four years to pay off all his debts, and he was even more prosperous than ever. Liang Botao briefly introduced.
Summer nodded, knowing that this Liu Gongcheng was indeed a character, no wonder he was able to make a comeback after a defeat.
"Okay, you can go back and compile a copy of the details and give it to me. He then commanded.
"Boss, do you want to move him?" asked Liang Botao curiously.
Whenever Summer asks him to collect information, he knows that Summer has found a new target.
"It's not decided yet, you can collect it first. Summer waved his hand.
Whether to engage the Liu family or not, he hasn't figured it out yet. However, Liu Dashao specified that he would not let it go, at least report it back, and let him be beaten first.
"Okay. Liang Botao didn't talk any more nonsense, and responded neatly.
……
After hanging up the phone, when I walked out of the studio in the summer, I saw nearly 100 people in the crew of "Ghost Hunting" holding fast food boxes and eating happily.
"Boss, this café's roast goose noodles are really good, can you have one?" Wang Jing shouted.
"No, I've eaten at noon, and I'm not hungry yet. Summer waved his hand and said, "Director Wang, when will our drama be completed?"
"Soon, I guess it's only going to be two or three days. Wang Jing said with a smile.
In fact, the story of "Ghost Hunting" is quite simple, it is the final "Demon Cave Demon", because a certain special effect is used, so it took a lot of time to build the set.
"That's good. Summer nodded. filmed a drama in two months, which is considered fast.
"Alas, by the way, Mr. Xia, how do you look at our set, isn't it quite like that. Wang Jing smiled again and asked for merit.
"It's good, it's quite vibe. Summer nodded and said approvingly.
The magic cave built by the crew of "Ghost Hunting" is a skeleton, a bat, a spider web, and a sea of blood, which looks like eighteen layers of hell, and it is indeed quite similar.
"This is also the work of the Japanese special effects team?" asked Natsu curiously.
"You may not believe it, this is not done by the Japanese team, but by our Hong Kong filmmakers. Wang Jing smiled proudly.
"Oh, really, I'm going to see it. When I heard this, I was surprised.
There are not many people in Hong Kong who know how to make special effects, and as far as he knows, Xu Ke's new visual studio has studied this aspect. If other film companies want to use special effects, they usually hire special effects teams from Japan and the United States.
I didn't expect to meet a talent who can make the set and special effects as good as the Japanese team today, so it really didn't go in vain.
"Okay, I'll bring him to you now. Wang Jing put down the lunch box, wiped his mouth, and then got up and ran.
Moments later, he led a man in his thirties, with a scruffy beard and unkempt stumbling sheets.
"Mr. Xia, this is the assistant director of our film - Lan Gengcai!" Wang Jing then introduced.
"Lan Gengcai?!" When Xia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had admired this guy for a long time, and he was in awe.
In his previous life, Lan Gengcai was not outstanding among Hong Kong directors, but his special effects production is unique in the Hong Kong film industry, and no one can compare.
Although his special effects are made by local steel, the investment is very low, but the visual effects are very impactful, no less than the large-scale computer special effects.
For example, his cat and dog fight scene in "Wesley's Old Cat" is simply wonderful, even if it is simulated by computer, it may not be filmed.
and the special effects he made in the movies "Asura", "Peacock Prince" and so on, which are also quite shocking, and they are not weaker than European and American blockbusters at that time.
Especially "King Li", which left a shadow on countless children's childhood, is a classic of Hong Kong CULT films, and it is still a change in people's smell.
In the summer, I admired Lan Gengcai in my previous life, and I felt that he was really an outstanding talent.
In an environment where Hong Kong films generally do not pay attention to special effects, it is really not easy for him to make so many wonderful special effects films.
If he is given more money and more opportunities, I wonder what kind of special effects he can make? Maybe he can match the special effects of American blockbusters.
……
So seeing him now, Xia was very excited, took the initiative to step forward, and held Lan Yancai's hand, "Lan Dao, hello." ”
"Hello, Mr. Xia!" Lan Gong saw that Xia was so enthusiastic, and suddenly felt warm in his heart.
"Director Lan, please be seated. I heard Director Wang say, you designed the scenery of this demon cave?" Xia asked with a smile.
"Hmm. Lan Gong nodded, and then asked anxiously, "Mr. Xia, do you think I'm making too much of a waste of money?"
The entire set of the Demon Cave cost a total of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a bit expensive to say. You know, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, save a little, enough to make a movie.
Jiang Dawei directed the first play "Unheard Talk" last year, with a total cost of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. And it costs so much to build a scene by yourself, which is indeed a bit of a luxury.
"No, no, I'm satisfied. You get what you pay for, and I know that if you want to have a beautiful picture, you must be willing to spend money. Summer smiled and waved his hand, "I want to praise you, Director Lan, amazing! You have a really decent set, I think you have caught up with the Japanese special effects team." Why, did you learn it before?"
"Thank you, Mr. Xia. Lan Gong was praised by Xia, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then scratched his head and said, "Don't tell Mr. Xia that I once went to Japan for further study, and I once studied with the well-known Japanese photographer Helan Mountain. ”
"I see. Summer smiled and nodded.
It's no wonder that he has a faint smell of Japanese tokusatsu when he looks at this set, and it is so. However, Lan Gong is also very powerful, the blue is better than the blue, and the special effects are comparable to the Japanese team, which can be regarded as the pride of Hong Kong filmmakers.
"It turned out to be a famous teacher and a high apprentice. He laughed again.
"Mr. Xia is too polite. Lan Ji couldn't help but rejoice when he heard him say this.
"Director Lan, which company are you working with now?" Xia asked with a smile again.
"I ...... There is no company for the time being. Lan Gong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
He used to work at Shaw Brothers, and after Shaw Brothers closed its doors, he became a lonely bird.
Although he has no shortage of job opportunities and money to spend on his excellent photography skills, his interest is not in ordinary photography. He likes special effects photography, but no company is willing to give him a chance.
"Then you can come to our company. When Summer heard this, he invited with a smile.
"Mr. Xia, if you can meet my two conditions, I will consider joining your company. Lan Jian shook his head and said.
"What conditions?" Xia asked in confusion after a moment's pause.
"First, I hope that the company can support me in researching and producing special effects, and second, I hope that the company can invest more in and produce special effects films. Lan Gong said.
When I heard it in the summer, it didn't just match my hopes. What is called the heart has a spiritual rhino, this is called the heart has a spiritual rhino!
"Lan Dao~" After Wang Jing listened to his two conditions, he frequently gave him a look and asked him to retract those two sentences.
It takes money to research and produce special effects, and it also takes money to produce special effects films, and judging from the market reaction, the return on special effects films is not high, so it is a thankless task. In that case, which company would be willing to do so?
Lan Gengcai is too twisted in personality and admits death. Otherwise, with his ability as a first-line photographer of Shaw Brothers, why worry that no company is willing to take him in.
Just when he was worried about Lan Gengcai, he heard Xia smile slightly, "Okay, I will agree to both of your conditions, and we will make a decision." ”
"Really?!" Lan Gong couldn't believe his ears.
Although he is a director, has filmed several films, and can be regarded as the number one person in the film industry, he has never been very respected.
One is because he likes to engage in special effects, so he often overspends on filming, which makes the company dissatisfied with him, and the second is that he does special effects, which many people are not interested in and feel that it is not necessary.
"Do Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao's films have special effects? ”
"You asked me to invest 1 million in special effects, with that money, why don't I invite two more stars?"
"A special effect costs so much money, I deleted it, I don't want this effect anymore!"
These are a few words he often hears, and he feels a little chill in his heart when he hears them.
Unexpectedly, Summer was so supportive of him, and he suddenly felt as if he had found a confidant.
