Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 86 Special Effects Talent
Do it when he thinks of it, Qiao Feng called back to Hong Kong based on the memory in his mind and asked Wang Jing to help find someone.
Qiao Feng had two candidates, but the first one was simply rejected by others. Lan Nai didn’t know about this person in later generations, but this guy was a very talented person, and he started doing a small job. , Was later promoted to assistant of photography, and then among photographers, nicknamed "Mouse".
His photography level is very high. Although he has not won the best photography awards like Du Kefeng and Huang Yuetai to prove himself, his level should not be bad. When he was a photographer, he worked with famous directors Sun Zhong, Chu Yuan and Wang Zhong. He has cooperated before, and he was also the best photographer on Shaw's studio during that time.
Qiao Feng knew that his name was because of a very bloody movie named Li Wang, the one in which Fan Shaohuang played the leading role.
Lan Nai was born in photography, so he must have a deep understanding of special effects technology. It can be seen from his filming Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley, Bu Ye Tian, and Li Wang's sci-fi and magical films, especially Liwang’s special effects may look like a copycat in later generations, very small, but in Hong Kong at that time, they were very real and very exciting for the senses. They were bloody and bloody. The effect is that the timid can scare and cry, and it can also make people with insufficient endurance see it.
It is precisely because of this that Qiao Feng wanted to dig him to set up a special effects department for himself, and even a special effects company. But who knows, Qiao Feng offered to write a script for him and let him be a director, so Lan Nai was not moved. Said that he is already a director and does not need Qiao Feng to help.
Someone rejected Qiao Feng's script, let alone Wang Jing who helped contact him. Qiao Feng himself was shocked. This guy is mentally ill.
The twisted melon is not sweet. Since people don’t want Qiao Feng, they won’t force it. Who made Lan Naicai a weird person? Before Qiao Feng, Shao Brothers, Xu Ke, and Hong Jinbao didn’t invite him to be. The director, he refused without exception. It was not until the 80 years when Qiao Feng crossed over that Lan Nai didn’t know how to see Li Xiuxian right and started co-directing the movie One Way Road with him. The director's ranks.
Lan Nai didn't succeed in soliciting, but fortunately, Qiao Feng had a second candidate.
For the second candidate, Qiao Feng made a call according to the number given by Wang Jing and said straightforwardly: "I am Qiao Feng. I am now in the United States. I am planning to establish a special effects company. Here happens to be the top Hollywood special effects company and special effects company. People are doing special effects for the movies I invested in. Do you want to join my company? You have the opportunity to follow them to observe and learn."
The way to open this time was right and it was a correct response. After Qiao Feng explained his words, the other party hesitated and expressed his willingness. What surprised Qiao Feng was that the number two not only agreed to join his company, but also Saying that he has a team, ask Qiao Feng if he wants to recruit more.
As soon as Qiao Feng's music broke, he would not do the good things of buy one get a few free. So within a few days, the second target flew to the United States with a dozen of his men.
Chen Jiashang is also Qiao Feng’s No. 2 target. This name is familiar to many people. The famous director in Hong Kong has filmed truant Weilong, Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier, Jingwu hero, and post-new century painting skins. Many famous commercial films, special effects blockbusters, etc.
But the great director was only twenty-three years old at this time. He was still a young guy. He didn't have the iconic moustache on his lips, and he was not as good as the film industry in less than three years.
But don’t underestimate his youth, and don’t think that this person has little experience, yes, at this time Chen Jiashang is still six years away from his first directing, but Qiao Feng didn’t want him to be a director. of.
What Qiao Feng wants is someone who can do special effects and has experience in special effects. Chen Jiashang meets this requirement, even better than Lan Nai. Because Chen Jiashang has been a staff member since he entered the film industry and was admitted to Shaw Brothers. One thing to do is to do special effects.
In 1980, Chen Jiashang dropped out of Canada and returned to Hong Kong.
Chen Jiashang felt that he had no experience in lighting and photography, so he applied for the production assistant. Because of his experience studying abroad, he was able to stand out from one of the 500 production assistant interviews and was selected by Fang Yihua himself.
However, within two months of joining Shaw Brothers, he was selected as the head of the model production team by the director Zhang Guoming, who was preparing to shoot the Shaw science fiction blockbuster Interstellar Blunt Tire that mimics Star Wars.
Interstellar blunt tires, this film was performed by Zhong Chuhong, who signed Shaw Brothers in the original time and space, but in this time and space, Zhong Chuhong became famous in advance and was not signed with Shaw Brothers, so Shaw used another unknown actress. .
The film investment is known as the top one in all Shaw Brothers films, and more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars has been invested, which is enough for Shaw Brothers to make more than a dozen ordinary films. It has been more than a year since preparations for shooting in 1981 until this year. This shoddy copycat science fiction film destined to pay blood was finally finished not long ago.
For more than a year, Chen Jiashang has been the special effects person in charge of this crew. At first, he made model props by himself. Later, he began to lead people, because some things need to be coordinated. When the film is finished, the special effects team There have been 15 more people on Chen Jia, including special effects, makeup, props, animation, optical special effects and other departments. They are all young people.
Then this group of special effects talents cultivated by Shaw with more than 10 million investment and a bad film were all given by Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng’s treatment is much better than Shaw’s. Young people like Shaw’s earn more than 2,000 a month, and Chen Jia, who gets the most, earns only 5,000 yuan. This is still a special effect. The person in charge of the group makes models every day and night, and those who work overtime have no overtime pay.
As for Qiao Feng, not only did they allow them to go to the United States to observe and learn from the best special effects personnel (stealing the teacher), but also to give them a minimum salary of 10,000 yuan. The bonus is not included. Chen Jia didn't say much about it. In the beginning, one of these people agrees.
"Jiashang, I will leave the special effects to you. You will take them to learn from the Americans. I tell them that you are helping, but you shouldn’t really just play, watch and learn. What’s wrong? If you understand, you must not be ashamed to ask. If you are good at communicating in English, you will bother. "After picking up people from the airport, Qiao Feng asked Chen Jia to ride with him in a car. After getting in the car for two minutes, Qiao Feng Started to tell Chen Jia.
"Okay Mr. Joe." Chen Jia nodded.
"Work hard, I am most optimistic about you. You help me take these people well. I want to be a director in the future and I will write a script for you." Qiao Feng threw another bait.
"Yes, I must live up to Mr. Joe's value."
