Thursday, February 26th.

Today's weather in Xiangjiang is very good, the breeze is light during the day, the sun is not so hot, and the blue sky and white clouds look very comfortable.

The group of people gathered in the studio all smiled a little, thinking that this was an excellent omen, but in Yin Jun's opinion, there was nothing special about it.

The most important thing about the movie is quality, rather than pinning on those ethereal things.

For example, the incense burning ceremony that everyone is carrying out now, with a roast suckling pig, some fruits and other tributes, everyone prays for the smooth shooting of the movie, and then it sells well, and Yin Jun doesn't catch a cold very much.

But as the so-called local customs, looking at Yuan Kui, Huang Yuezhu and others are serious, as the director and producer, Yin Jun can only lead them to burn incense and worship God.

Winston and a group of Yankees were very interested, and they followed the action in a similar manner, and their expressions were very serious, but the movement of looking around betrayed their current thoughts.

By the time I was done, it was past 9 o'clock in the morning.

A feng shui master next to him hurriedly came over: "Jun Shao, the auspicious time has arrived, and you can announce the start of filming." ”

Yin Jun nodded helplessly.

Looking at the reporters who had been taking photos of such a group of crew members on the periphery, the young man had a smile on his face, turned around, and clapped his hands: "Now I announce that "Speed of Life and Death" has officially started filming!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Click, click, click......"

Along with the warm applause, there was also the sound of a group of reporters quickly pressing the shutter.

Most of them focused their cameras on Yin Jun.

After all, most of the photos on weekdays are far away from Yin Jun, and it can't be said that they are not clear, but absolutely no one can walk in front of Yin Jun more than ten meters in front of him so openly to take pictures - people's bodyguards saw the reporter and immediately rushed over to stop the photo.

If anyone dares to take a candid photograph......

Hehe.

Xiangjiang's paparazzi are not so afraid of death.

It is rare for the promotion of "Speed of Life and Death", the crew specially invited reporters to take pictures and interviews, and of course a group of reporters flocked to it.

Not only reporters from Hong Kong, but also reporters from Treasure Island, Singapore, Japan and South Korea.

It can also be seen how famous Yin Jun is and how much everyone cares about the first movie that this super genius officially started.

Yin Jun doesn't like this kind of life that is constantly flashed by magnesium lights, and he has an introverted personality.

However, this shooting and interview was specially arranged by Le Yiling, and a ten-minute interview session was also arranged for the teenager, but Sister Le sternly told him that he must be kind, after all, Yin Jun's temper, she is one of the people who knows best.

After the photo was taken, the tribute or something was removed, it was time for the reporters to interview.

The arrangement is about half an hour, and when this step is completed, Yin Jun can start filming the first scene.

More than 50 reporters came in one go, which on the one hand reflected Yin Jun's popularity, and on the other hand, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.

Fortunately, there were also Yin Jun's bodyguards, who carried the reporters a meter away, so Yin Jun was not squeezed into zongzi.

"Jun Shao! Although your film has only started filming now, I have made a lot of preparations before I saw it! And it is said that the cost of 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough, isn't it?" The first reporter of "Ming Pao" almost tried his best to hand the recording equipment to Yin Jun.

The reporters were very smart, and everyone was very noisy and crowded at the beginning, but when someone asked a question, they immediately stopped crowding and quieted down instantly.

You can also use the questions asked by others when you write your own reports.

"The budget of 100 million is only a preliminary estimate, and if it is not enough, it can be added. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "When I make a movie, the first element is to make it well, and as for the cost or something, it has to be lower." ”

"But if you do this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to return to your original cost, lose a lot of money, and smash your golden sign?" Another small reporter answered and asked with a lightning answer, "The best box office of Xiangjiang Films at the moment is Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon", followed by "Police Academy" produced by the three major companies, are you sure that like them, you can achieve good results abroad?"

Good guy, he said this sentence cracklingly, but it took half a minute, but every word was bitten very clearly, and it was still standard Mandarin, which made Yin Jun listen to it very well.

"'Life and Death' grossed less than $200 million at the global box office, even if I lose. Yin Jun's answer was very concise, but full of confidence.

The little reporter wanted to ask again, but was squeezed aside by a female reporter, and she said loudly with a red face: "Jun Shao Jun Shao~ Our fans have been waiting for so long, you are finally going to start making a movie! Here, do you have anything to say to the fans who are waiting for thousands of people?"

A group of reporters rolled their eyes in unison.

How come such a "scum" has been mixed into our team.

"Thank you for your support, I won't let you down, I look forward to your evaluation after watching the movie!" Yin Jun's answer suddenly changed back to very gentle.

"Jun Shao, I'll definitely go see it, come on!!"

Okay.

The female reporter still has an advantage, she said such a sentence more, and was pulled out by the people behind.

"Jun Shao, according to our observations, this time the shooting is very complicated, I heard that a plane is going to be blown up, is it really such an exaggeration?" a reporter began to ask about the gimmick.

"It's going to blow up the plane, but what it is will be, you won't know until it's released. Yin Jun's answer was decent, and he would definitely not say "We are a fake plane", and he would also make gimmicks.

"I saw the actor of the movie just now, he is of mixed race, or from Treasure Island. And the second actor is Eddie Murphy, and the actor like you is not from Xiangjiang, do you think that the actors in Xiangjiang are not good enough to meet your requirements?" The reporter wearing the "Oriental Daily" sign asked a very sharp question.

With the continuous expansion of the Kirin Daily and the Pear Daily, the paid newspapers are now a strong step backwards.

Take the previous three major newspapers, the Oriental Daily, which has basically decreased by one-third from a maximum of about 150,000 copies to a maximum of 100,000 copies, which is a huge blow to them.

So "Oriental Daily" has no good impression of Yin Jun, which is reasonable.

Yin Jun didn't get angry, but said lightly: "I only choose the most suitable actors for filming." Fei Xiang is definitely not as good as Zhou Runfa, Wu Weiguo, and Zheng Shaoqiu now, but no matter what aspect he talks about, he is the most suitable candidate for the leading actor, and I believe that you will not be disappointed after watching the movie. As for using Eddie Murphy, I also think it's understandable, Xiangjiang is an international city, why can't you use black actors?"

The journalist was speechless.

He can't say that black actors are not as good as Xiangjiang actors, which is a very bad remark.

Besides, Yin Jun has said that Fei Xiang is the most suitable actor, can he do it, he has to watch the movie, and then he will spray before filming starts, how many people will believe it?

……

Next, Yin Jun answered a few questions one after another, and the bodyguard next to him was on time.

As soon as the 10 minutes were up, they immediately called out to their companions outside and escorted Yin Jun back to the filming location, where there were more security personnel, and reporters couldn't get in.

Although the reporters are unwilling, Yin Jun is not a star who wants to ask them to report on the exposure at all, and they have no way to threaten to ban Yin Jun, let alone come to chase after the wind and shadow smear reports, otherwise you will wait for the people of the Kirin security team to wander around your downstairs all day long.

For reporters who are not members of the club, they will not beat people, but they will hold you back and have a bad life at all.

Fortunately, there is still a group of heroes and heroines and supporting actors who have just been ignored waiting for interviews, and the reporters didn't have time to complain more, so they immediately shifted their positions and surrounded them.

Sitting in his chair, Yin Jun began to look up at the venue where the first act was about to be filmed.

This is a newly built building in Kowloon, which has just been rented for less than half a year, and there are still a lot of vacancies in it, but the equipment and decoration are already complete.

The temporary leased yellow tower crane is also prominently erected in front of the building, which is an important prop to save the falling elevator, which must not be ignored.

In fact, when it comes to the density of buildings and the bustling areas of the city, Sheung Wan and Central are the best.

But there are people's company headquarters everywhere, either rich or status, how can they toss their own buildings in order to cooperate with Yin Jun's filming?

Although this is only the exterior and some exterior scenes, the interior of the elevator shaft will be done in the built studio, but it also takes time and energy, and there are various security checks, crowd evacuation, etc., which is not in line with their company's positioning.

Only on the side of Youjianwang, which has just developed, will there be a more suitable choice.

But this is also a little different from the original, the elevator of the original work, from the 43rd floor down, was blown up soon after the cable on one side was blown up, and it fell to about the 29th floor.

At present, the tallest building in Hong Kong, Hopewell Centre on Queen's Road East in Wan Chai is 66 storeys, Hongkong Land's Connaught Building is 52 storeys, and the rest are all below 40 storeys and are generally older.

There was no way, Yin Jun could only make some changes, starting to fall from the 35th floor to the 22nd floor, so that the design was more in line with the facts.

The first scene filmed today is about some scenes of the exterior of the building.

If it goes well, tomorrow we can move to the elevator shaft that Winston has built, and shoot the most thrilling shots of the first explosion.

Many people may not know that making movies is definitely not in the order you are in the cinema.

In fact, the shots of the film are very scattered, sometimes in order to save money, sometimes because of the needs of the season and weather, you have to concentrate on shooting a scene.

Moreover, there has never been a film by a director, the release is 120 minutes, and the footage filmed is only 120 minutes.

Under normal circumstances, the minimum will be more than 100 hours, and the more will be 3500 hours.

Corresponding to this, a large amount of film is consumed.

The king of sunglasses is a famous representative of wasting film, and if he doesn't get you five or six hundred hours of material, he is not sure.

The most devastating thing is that he can give up a large number of wonderful shots that he has worked so hard to shoot...... For example, Dehua, who is most afraid of mice, filmed in a room full of rats, such as the scene where Zhang Guorong is hoisted by a helicopter and speeding off the bridge...... And so on and so forth.

Gossip aside.

Although Yin Jun is a director for the first time, what makes him better than other directors is that the finished film has already passed through his mind several times.

Especially in the past few days, combined with the most detailed storyboard drafts that he has written one after another, Yin Jun can restore 90% of the original movies, which is a very remarkable thing!

It means that no matter how bad this drama is, it will have 90% of the original work.

Coupled with Yin Jun's understanding of action movies in the next few decades, if "Speed of Life and Death" can't surpass its predecessor, it will be a real failure!
