Chapter 153: Don't Be So Exaggerated! (Seeking subscriptions)
Wang Jing was quite depressed!
He originally thought that when the boss of Fengrui Film heard that he was coming to join, he wouldn't say he would take the initiative to greet him at the door, but at least he would be warmly received.
After all, he filmed several movies, and basically they all made money.
This achievement is quite rare in the director circle in Hong Kong.
After all, it makes money, so no matter how you hold it, it's not too much.
The only thing he lacked was that he didn't have a blockbuster with a box office of over 20 million.
Otherwise, whether it was Golden Harvest or Cinema City, or D&B, they would be treated as guests of honor.
As a result, when he arrived here, he was still only entertained by the person in charge of the company.
"I mentioned it to Master Wu, and Master Wu welcomes Director Wang to join!"
Seeing Wang Jing staring at him, the person in charge of Fengrui Film smiled awkwardly and said helplessly, "Master Wu said very clearly that Fengrui Film has its own set of movie filming processes!"
"So far, there hasn't been a movie that lost money at the box office!"
As soon as this was said, Wang Jing couldn't help but respect him, and also extinguished some small thoughts.
The current Fengrui Film is very similar to Cinema City when it first rose.
It is almost filming one and making money on one, and there is no time when it loses money, which can be said to be like a rainbow.
But Fengrui Film and Cinema City are very different. At least the movie types produced by Fengrui Film are not few, which is much stronger than the comedy movies that were all the same when Cinema City rose.
Thinking of this, Wang Jing put down his reserve and asked curiously, "I don't know about the filming plan I proposed..."
"Master Wu said, you have to follow Fengrui Film's process!"
The person in charge of the company said directly, "Get the script out first, and don't let go of the storyboard script."
"The company's screenwriting department will help expand the script into a novel, and then publish it in 'Novel Monthly' or publish the novel directly. Maybe there will be follow-up comics!"
Wang Jing was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What about the movie? When will it be filmed?"
"Wait for the novel and comics to accumulate a certain popularity and heat, and reach a certain standard, then film directly!"
The person in charge of the company explained in great detail. It wasn't that he had received a call from Wang Jing's father and definitely had to take good care of him, but it was impossible to break the company's rules.
Wu Feng had emphasized it several times, and it was impossible for him to treat it as a deaf ear. That was not responsible for his own life.
For Wu Feng, the boss who was already a councilor, he was both respectful and afraid!
"Then, I don't know when the movie can be filmed?"
Wang Jing was convinced, and at the same time understood why Fengrui Film's movies didn't lose money.
Just the mode of novel and comic linkage to accumulate popularity, the movie already had a certain fan base before it was filmed. As long as the movie wasn't filmed too badly, at least it wouldn't lose money.
But for him, the time delayed was too long, right?
"About a month, you can see the clues!"
The person in charge of Fengrui Film asked curiously, "Is it that the early preparation of the crew doesn't need to consume time?"
"Just preparing the crew, how can it take so much time?"
Wang Jing said disapprovingly, "On the Shaw Brothers side, it only took three or five days to do the early preparation!"
"No wonder Shaw Brothers' movie quality is the same as always, and now the film studio has been closed!"
The words of the person in charge of Fengrui Film were not very good to hear in Wang Jing's ears.
His expression reaction was naturally seen in the eyes of the person in charge, and he explained with a smile, "Fengrui company has strict requirements for costumes, makeup, and props, especially when filming urban dramas. White-collar workers must have the style of white-collar workers, and clothing and dressing are sponsored or specially designed, and they won't be left to the actors' own dressing!"
"So, that's it!"
Wang Jing was a bit embarrassed, and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. Is this preparation too fine?
"Exactly, the company is filming a campus horror movie at the Yindu film studio. Do you want to go and take a look to understand the specific filming process?"
The person in charge of the company now also reacted. Wang Jing's filming style was clearly seriously affected by Shaw Brothers, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to adapt to the rhythm here for a while.
It's bad, the filming process will not only not be smooth, but also because of the different rhythm and process problems, it will end up in a mess.
Company employees, including actors, are used to doing things according to the process formulated by the company, and they certainly won't be willing to cooperate with an outside director to change the rhythm they are already familiar with.
Besides, the boss Wu Feng likes to come and inspect from time to time. If he is complained by employees, it is estimated that the position of company manager will have to be handed over.
"Okay, I heard that Fengrui company's horror movies are quite good. I'll go and take a look!"
Wang Jing was also hooked, and he really felt that Fengrui company's movie filming process was very different from his own situation, so he still had to adapt to it.
As for the trouble of being threatened by other societies, neither of them mentioned it.
Are you kidding? What kind of existence is Fengrui Film? The company of Hongxing Sai Kung Hall Master.
Which society outside dares to make trouble at Fengrui Film?
Just the security force of Fengrui Film is enough to make outsiders not dare to underestimate.
More than 50 fighters who have undergone strict training are no joke.
Fengrui Film has clear security protection measures for its own employees, especially star artists with high exposure.
Like the first sister Weng Hong, she is followed by four bodyguards at any time, and at the same time, she has purchased a nanny car that is rare in Hong Kong at this time as a means of transportation.
Assistants, makeup, styling, and agents are all available, forming a small work team around Weng Hong, which is definitely high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade.
When taking outside plays, not only are bodyguards followed, but they also greet the local Hongxing hall, and can call for support at any time, which is that even the big brother guarding the venue of the crew dare not neglect.
It is said that sometimes when the crew encounters trouble, asking Weng Hong to come forward has an excellent effect.
At first, she might be a bit unaccustomed, but later she adapted and felt quite good.
Ordinary flower-picking waves simply dare not approach easily!
Those who have the courage to approach are basically rich second-generation or even rich first-generation with extraordinary strength!
Wu Feng also recruited retired female soldiers from the Mainland on a large scale, anyway, giving enough sense of security to the famous stars under his command.
This is also the main reason why Fengrui Film is very favored by female stars in the circle. It really gives treatment.
With Weng Hong's income level at this time, it is very simple to support the small team around her.
She has endorsements outside, but the real big income is bringing goods.
The monthly income from bringing goods is about 200,000!
Don't think it's small. This is because Wu Feng has not entered the fast-moving consumer goods field.
Once Wu Feng's plate is big and he enters the fast-moving consumer goods field, it is estimated that the monthly income can exceed one million.
By then, ordinary small tycoons in Hong Kong may not necessarily be able to make money like her!
Of course, the female stars currently qualified to be equipped with nanny cars are only Weng Hong and Li Saifeng.
The fame of other female stars is rising rapidly, but their influence and ability to bring goods are still a bit short.
Wang Jing soon rushed to the Yindu company film studio, and he was very familiar with the environment here.
Next door is the Shaw Brothers film studio, often wandering around there, how could he not be familiar?
Then, he was startled by the professionalism of Fengrui Film employees and the smooth filming scene.
It's not to say that there is anything amazing, but this kind of scene where everyone performs their duties can only be seen in that kind of crew that has been running-in for many years.
What Jackie Chan Stunt Team, what Sammo Hung Stunt Team, is not just a martial arts team, but a whole filming team. They have cooperated for many years and have a tacit understanding, which can reduce unnecessary loss during filming.
Other crews can more or less see some uncoordinated places.
If viewed from the perspective of later generations, most of the movies filmed in the golden age of Hong Kong are actually shoddy, and there are not many that look beautiful and smooth.
Wang Jing didn't expect to see such a professional and efficient team in a crew filming horror movies, and his heart was naturally very curious.
Where did he know that employees dare not be lazy and idle.
Are you kidding? A film company created by a society big shot, if you dare to take the company's money to die, the company really dares to let him die, not a joke at all.
Coupled with the meticulous way of doing engineering, and every time there is an indispensable summary after the event, if you still can't get started quickly and become professional, the company is not doing charity.
Besides, during the preparation period before filming, the director has formulated the filming style, just operate according to this mode, and they have completely adapted to this way of working.
At this time, if they go to work in an outside crew, they are not used to it.
There is no other advantage, that is, the efficiency is high and there are few things, and everyone is relaxed.
When seeing the female lead, Wang Jing couldn't help but brighten his eyes.
Tall and long-legged, definitely a big beauty!
The clothing on her body is also very fashionable, and even Wang Jing looks hot, and it matches the female lead very well.
When resting for lunch and eating boxed lunch, he found out the name of the female lead: Wan Qiwen!
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke.
It's not that Wan Qiwen has any powerful background, but there is a capable female bodyguard guarding her side at all times.
In fact, the whole crew has more than a dozen sturdy men with dragons and phoenixes painted on their arms and arms guarding the periphery.
No need to guess, it must be the manpower sent by the company to maintain order and guard against emergencies.
It can only be said that the company has done a very good job in this regard.
It definitely won't happen that the female lead is invited away by a society big shot while filming.
In the crew, he found that not only were the employees very professional, but the quality of the boxed lunch at noon was also very high.
It turned out to be pork trotter rice, damn, there was also pork lung soup. Wang Jing was startled when he ate it into his stomach.
Used to the stinginess of Shaw Brothers, suddenly enjoying such good boxed lunch treatment, he was really not used to it.
As a result, there was fruit to enjoy after the meal, although they were not expensive goods.
But this kind of treatment, more than 98% of the crews in Hong Kong can't compare.
The director is a newcomer who is not well-known, at least Wang Jing had not heard of it before.
The basic skills of directing are still okay, that is, this level.
The age is thirty-something, and the attitude toward Wang Jing is quite polite.
When talking about the company, his face was full of gratitude, directly saying that if it weren't for the company's cultivation, he wanted to get started filming movies, it is estimated that he would have to boil for another five, six, seven, eight years.
He was very satisfied with the company's various welfare benefits, but when talking about boxed lunch, it was very ordinary, directly saying that the company has always been this standard.
Those underlings guarding the venue and the company are two lines, and no one dares to play tricks on these things. If it is not good, it will cost lives. It is not worth it to occupy this little advantage.
Waiting until six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew returned to the dormitory directly, Wang Jing was stunned again, and his heart roared wildly:
Can it be more exaggerated!
