Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

Chapter 178 Making Movies

Because of the success in cutting Chen Wanxian's leeks, Long Jiwen successfully borrowed 50 million US dollars from Zhou Jisheng, and together with the money from Zhou Cong, went to the United States with Chen Taotao.

The preparations for foreign exchange speculation began.

Zhou Cong stayed in Hong Kong Island and started filming movies.

Victoria Cinema!

After offering the roasted pig and paying homage to Mr. Guan, the power-on ceremony was completed.

The next step was to shoot. After filming the fight between Zhou Cong and the supporting actor, the Chen family called for a card.

Then, he persuaded Zhou Cong.

Although he fights fiercely, it lacks beauty!

Moreover, you have to show how good the supporting actor is and let them fight in some tricks!

Otherwise, it will not be able to show the strength of the protagonist.

In this regard, Zhou Congdao followed suit.

After discussing with Chen Jiashang, we decided to ask Liu Jiaban to be our martial arts instructor.

Liu Jia Ban is a very famous martial arts team in Hong Kong. The founder Liu Zhan is the disciple of Huang Feihong, and his master is Pork Rong.

The reason why we didn’t invite other teams, such as the Cheng family class, the Hong family class, and the Yuan family class.

Or because their films are competitors with Zhou Cong, and Zhou Cong doesn't want to reveal his secrets.

After offering a martial arts instruction fee of RMB 100,000, members of the Liu family team joined the hurricane rescue crew.

After seeing Zhou Cong's abilities, Liu Jialiang personally took action and designed a set of simple fighting moves for him similar to the military killing punch.

What's important is to be like Bruce Lee, fast and swift, and kill the enemy with several moves to kill him.

After Zhou Cong saw the martial arts moves designed by Liu Jialiang, he had to admit that his performance was indeed better than his own, and the audience should buy it.

Film shooting in Hong Kong never pays attention to excellence, all it takes is to be fast.

A film can be made in a month or even a week.

For example, Andy Lau can shoot up to sixteen movies a year.

If the filming was slow, how could the numbers for these sixteen movies be calculated?

The Chen family wanted to strive for excellence, but unfortunately, film cost money, and Mei Yanfang only had three days to schedule.

We can only film according to the Hong Kong film assembly line method.

Within ten days, the last few scenes were filmed.

Moreover, this was also the last day of Mei Yanfang's schedule, which was when Mei Yanfang was rescued from the boat and the two parties kissed passionately.

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever kissed a girl before?"

Before filming, Mei Yanfang also specially contacted Zhou Cong.

"Kissed!"

Zhou Cong rolled his eyes, who are he looking down on?

"That's ok, just think of me as your girlfriend for a while!"

Anita Mui smiled.

"Don't worry, I promise to give you an unforgettable kiss! By the way, you haven't eaten stinky tofu and durian, right?"

"I just ate a bowl of fusilli noodles, okay?"

Mei Yanfang also rolled her eyes and handed Zhou Cong two pieces of chewing gum.

"I also like eating fusilli noodles. It will be a real treat soon!"

After Zhou Cong finished speaking, he stuffed the chewing gum into his mouth. After chewing it for two minutes, he spit it out on the paper and threw it into the trash can!

"Act 3, scene 45, shooting begins!"

Accompanied by the sound of the recorder, the camera started running.

Mei Yanfang, who was standing on the fake boat, looked at Zhou Cong, with tears of excitement in her eyes.

After a few steps of running, he threw himself into Zhou Cong's arms.

Zhou Cong's arms tightened, and he hugged her and spun her around twice.

Then, he kissed her hard.

"Card!"

Thirty seconds later, the recorder shouted.

Mei Yanfang, on the other hand, stretched out her hand and pushed Zhou Cong away, gave him a fierce look, turned around and left.

"What did I do?"

Monk Zhou Congzhang was confused.

"Mr. Zhou, if you do this again, we will no longer be able to cooperate!"

The Chen family came over with a serious expression, "Are you obviously taking advantage of the opportunity of filming a movie?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Cong was a little angry.

"The kiss in the movie is just the touching of lips, no wet kiss!"

Chen Jia Shang said.

"Can you blame me? She said, I kiss my girlfriend how I want to kiss her!"

Zhou Cong said angrily.

Only then did I understand why Mei Yanfang wasn't very cooperative just now. If he hadn't pinched her waist, he wouldn't have been able to kiss her wetly?

"Mr. Zhou, you!"

One sentence left the Chen family speechless and could only leave without saying a word.

If you are beaten, you must stand upright; if you make a mistake, you must correct it.

Zhou Cong, who understood that he had made a big mistake, could only walk up to Mei Yanfang and wanted to explain a few words.

"It's okay, I just said it wrong! I don't blame you for this!"

Mei Yanfang was so generous and waved her hand quite easily.

"That's good! Otherwise, my glorious image will be completely ruined! But, by the way, it feels really good!"

Zhou Cong sighed.

"Isn't my image also ruined?"

Mei Yanfang was so angry at Zhou Cong that she rolled her eyes at him again. Recalling the feeling of the wet kiss just now, a faint blush appeared on her face.

Mei Yanfang had finished taking all the shots, and after giving Zhou Cong another dirty look, she went out and left.

After discovering the misunderstanding, the Chen family went to find Zhou Cong to discuss the shooting of the last few scenes tomorrow.

The shooting location has been chosen, it is a residential building in Tai Kok Tsui.

"Director Chen, I want to wait for the two scenes tomorrow to be filmed after the movie is scheduled!"

Zhou Cong expressed his opinion.

"Why? Without those two shots, the entire film would not be connected, and it would be difficult to convince theaters to show our film!"

Chen's family was puzzled.

"Quite simply, because this is the most powerful propaganda tool!"

Zhou Cong then expressed his thoughts again.

"Mr. Zhou, your publicity method is really unique! However, are you sure about it when filming?"

After hearing Zhou Cong's idea, the Chen family couldn't help but give high-fives.

"Don't worry! It's not like you haven't seen my skills before!"

Zhou Cong patted his chest and said.

"Then you have to be careful. The finished film needs to be cut out as soon as possible! So that we can organize theaters to watch the film!"

During the filming, the Chen family often saw Zhou Cong's skills. Although they were reassured, they still gave him a warning.

"Don't worry! I've hired a Hollywood editing team! It's Spielberg's official team. The finished film will be shown to you in two days!"

Zhou Cong said.

It is impossible for the Chen family to go to Spielberg to confront this matter. Who can brag?

"Mr. Zhou, I'll wait and see!"

As expected, the Chen family believed it and looked at Zhou Cong expectantly.

After returning to the house in Victoria, I called Liang Xiaorou first.

Zhou Cong took out the Tianhe-2 power control machine again and imported all the image data into it.

Then, he ordered the Red Queen to start editing based on the Hurricane Rescue 1 film, leaving only a few shots that she had preset.

Although the Red Queen still looks like a little girl, so does her voice.

But as a top artificial intelligence, she has absorbed too much knowledge in the world of golden years.

The capability is far greater than a sophisticated production team of hundreds of people.

What's more, this is still a matter of drawing the gourd, which is not difficult at all.

After taking a casual bath, Zhou Cong got into the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

These nearly ten days on the set really exhausted him.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Although the room was dark, the lights were on in the living room.

He got up and walked out of the bedroom, but saw Liang Xiaorou sitting in front of the TV with the volume turned off, making her watch the TV series "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" like a silent movie.

"you're awake!"

Liang Xiaorou stood up when she heard the sound and turned her head.

"I made some soup in the kitchen and now I'm serving it to you!"

Looking at Zhou Cong infatuatedly, he smiled sweetly, shy but beautiful.

"Tell me later!"

Zhou Cong hugged Liang Xiaorou, buried his head in her hair, took a deep breath, and smelled the fragrance on her body, "Xiaorou, I miss you. I miss you every day on the set these days."

!”

"Me too!"

Liang Xiaorou hugged Zhou Cong back.

The air conditioner in the house whines.

After receiving the reminder from the Red Queen, Zhou Cong got up from the bed and glanced at Liang Xiaorou beside him.

The girl was sleeping deeply, with a hint of smile on her lips.

After kissing her lightly on the lips, Zhou Cong got up and took out the Tianhe-2 industrial computer.

I started to appreciate the finished film edited by the Red Queen.

Produced by Honghou, the fruit is of high quality.

Although Zhou Cong had already watched the movie about hurricane rescue, seeing his appearance in the movie still made Zhou Cong feel strange.

The fights are fast and difficult, and although it is a little slow at the beginning, it shows some family life between myself and the sister played by Ye Yuqing.

But it's not boring.

"Why don't you sleep anymore!"

Halfway through the scene, Zhou Cong heard Liang Xiaorou's voice and felt a pair of jade arms hugging his neck.

"My cooperative company in Hollywood just sent me the finished film! You are the first audience of my movie!"

He took Liang Xiaorou's hand and sat on the sofa. After letting the red queen cast the movie on the TV, Zhou Cong hugged the girl tightly.

"Then I have to take a good look!"

Liang Xiaorou said excitedly.

The nearly one-and-a-half-hour film was quite enjoyable for Liang Xiaorou to watch.

But at the end, when I saw Zhou Cong and the female singer played by Mei Yanfang kissing, she pouted.

"Xiaorou, you only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten!

Do you think the intimate scenes in the movie are so easy to film? When filming, she had just finished eating fusilli!"

"What about you?" Liang Xiaorou asked curiously.

"I asked them to buy me durian!" Zhou Cong said with a smile.

This sentence made Liang Xiaorou lie in Zhou Cong's arms and giggle.

"Sorry! Actually, I also know that the movies you make are all fake, but I still feel a little uncomfortable!"

"Actually, I am the same, but there is no other way! Movies are movies, life is life. Director Chen also said that he wants me to have an affair with Sister Mei for publicity?

Then how could I possibly agree? Aren't I afraid that you, a jealous person, would fly to the sky?"

"I'm not jealous. As long as it's beneficial to your career, I'll support you no matter what you do!"

Liang Xiaorou said infatuatedly.

At this time, there were four major cinema chains on Hong Kong Island.

They are the Shaw Line, Jiahe Line, Golden Princess Line, and Lianhua Line.

Although the first three theater lines are theater lines owned by film companies, due to independent accounting, they will also accept movies from outside for screening on the premise of ensuring the screening volume of their own companies.

If one's own company's movies are not profitable, it is normal to reduce the broadcast time or stop broadcasting.

Zhou Cong is not worried about these three theater lines. As long as they are divided according to proportion, it is impossible for them not to broadcast their own films.

Among them, the only one that needs to be negotiated is the Lianhua Line. This is the mainland's promotional window on Hong Kong Island, where you can watch mainland movies.

This is the line that Zhou Cong attaches most importance to. After all, the mainland has changed a lot after the change.

He hopes to use this to build a bridge with the mainland and conduct all-round investments.

The visit to Lianhua Cinema and the discussion went very smoothly. After Zhou Cong talked about some domestic changes after the re-opening, he also talked about some domestic movies, such as Liu Sanjie, Ashma, and the ones that were just released last year.

After a series of classic films such as "Wreaths Under the Mountain".

Zhang Cheng, the person in charge of Lianhua, seemed extremely happy. Not only did he agree to the theater's request to release the film on the spot, he also invited Zhou Cong to film and invest in the country at the appropriate time.

This is the purpose of Zhou Conglai, and he also produced a main theme movie - Sniper written by him.

After reading the script, Zhang Cheng said he would give Zhou Cong news as soon as possible, and Zhou Cong also asked Zhang Cheng to contact domestic daily chemical factories and planned to invest and build factories in China.

After finalizing the LMC line, Zhou Cong invited Shaw Brothers, Princess Jin and Jiahe to watch the film.

While watching the film, they were all amazed by the sharp editing and powerful sound effects in the film.

After hearing that Zhou Cong said that he was an editor and soundtrack engineer from Hollywood, they all looked at him with envy.

Although it is now the mid-1980s, Hong Kong films and Hollywood films are equally or even slightly better at the box office.

But Hong Kong filmmakers dare not look down on Hollywood filmmakers, especially their special effects, editing, and soundtracks.

Of course, people from the three major theater chains also noticed the bugs in the movie and felt that there was a lot missing in the fight scene in a high-rise building.

One second, Zhou Cong had just arrived at the high-rise building and found many community members guarding the building. The next second, he was fighting with people in the high-rise building.

Also, after the fight, he just saw the club boss driving away from upstairs, and the next second he was downstairs, grabbed a car, and started the chase scene.

Obviously, there are no transition shots and clips.

And this question was raised by people from the three major theater chains just after the movie viewing session.

And Zhou Cong also put forward his own ideas in a timely manner, which made people from the three major theaters admire him. Zhou Cong is really a genius.

After signing the contract and discussing the launch date, the people from the three major theater chains left.

Zhou Cong and Chen Jiashang started to run newspapers and TV media.

The next day, major media outlets ran a full-page advertisement.

[July 19, 9 a.m., Kam Yang Building, Tai Kok Tsui, a desperate trip! 】

This advertisement appeared haphazardly, leaving Hong Kong residents confused.

However, July 19th happens to be the weekend, so you can go to the site to see what the devil is in this advertisement.

By the morning of July 19, many citizens who were fine had rushed to the Jinyang Building, and of course, there were also many media.

But it looked like a cordon had been set up here, and several crane cameras were pointed at a room at the front of the building.

At nine o'clock, a man appeared at the window of the rooftop of Jinyang Building, and then jumped down.

"ah!"

Many people in the audience were so frightened that they screamed, and the timid ones even closed their eyes.

The man jumped down at the speed of free fall. When he reached the fifth floor, he stretched his hands like an ape and grabbed an open window.

The huge force even tore down the window, but it slowed the man's descent.

As the man reached out and pushed against the wall, his body changed direction and grabbed another plug-in unit of an air conditioner.

He flipped forward and landed firmly on the ground.

"Did it get filmed?"

Seeing Zhou Cong landing steadily, the Chen family's hearts dropped and they hurriedly asked several photographers.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure the photo is taken well!"

Several photographers signed up for guarantees one by one.

In fact, they didn't shoot it well, so there's no problem.

Because Zhou Cong had ordered the Red Queen to use a fly-class drone to shoot.

In addition, the editing rights are in my own hands, so it will definitely fit into the film perfectly.

"Oh my god! He's okay!"

"It's okay to jump from such a high building. He's really a superman!"

Seeing Zhou Cong's steady landing, the onlookers started talking enthusiastically.

The publicity personnel headed by Ye Yuqing quickly took this opportunity to distribute hurricane rescue promotional materials to the media and onlookers at the scene.

Next, Zhou Cong performed a good show of climbing a building with bare hands in front of everyone at the scene.

The movements are fast and agile, which is a feast for the eyes of the audience.

Because the red envelopes give out more!

Starting from that night, Hong Kong media began to publicize Zhou Cong's climbing of the building with bare hands, as well as the story of Zhou Cong jumping from the top of the building and landing steadily on the broken bridge, and also included the screening time of hurricane rescue.

On the premise of arousing heated discussion among Hong Kong people, it scared Liang Xiaorou and Ruan Mei to death.

Ruan Mei, in particular, cried so sadly while hugging Zhou Cong. After being coaxed by Zhou Cong, and finally saying that she would take him to the mainland for a while, Ruan Mei finally calmed down.
