Chapter 148 The Achievements of Industrialization
To be honest, the filming of "Wushuang" is progressing very quickly.
At the former Yuen Long Water Treatment Works, Wang Hao and others spent nearly two months filming all the movie plots related to this place.
During this period, Wang Hao even took two days off and flew to Beijing to attend the College Student Film Festival and received an award.
So don’t think that this time is long. In the original version of "Wushuang", director Zhuang Wenqiang spent a full four months to finish shooting the shots related to the production of counterfeit money, and also tried to print counterfeit money.
Wang Hao and his team were able to complete this part of the work in half the time, thanks to the senior prop producer from Hong Kong named Zhang Weiqun who was found by Huo Wenxi.
This person is known as the "Props Master" in the industry in Hong Kong. He has participated in the prop production and scene planning of dozens of films, large and small. His rich experience and superb skills far surpass those new props group members in Wang Hao's company.
It was also with his help that the counterfeit money making equipment in the "Wushuang" crew was completed so quickly.
Of course, the crew members of Wang Hao's company are not completely useless.
Thanks to the practice and running-in of the previous films, the production team of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment now has the initial form of a formal team.
Wang Hao emphasized industrialized production from the very beginning of filming "Buried", and their team naturally worked towards this goal.
Today, the Galaxy Interactive Entertainment production team already has a reasonable and detailed division of employee responsibilities and work flow chart, and each department also has corresponding rules and regulations to constrain it.
Although this limited the creative energy of some individuals in the crew, it also made the production team into a smoothly functioning whole.
This even surprised the Hong Kong actors and workers involved in the crew, and they highly praised the professionalism, rigor and efficiency shown by this young team.
"Did you really lead this team?"
One day at noon, when the filming was finished and it was time for lunch, Huo Wenxi sat next to Wang Hao with a lunch box in his hand. Looking at the crew running in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Honestly speaking, I have been an agent for many years and have been with many actors. Basically, I have encountered all kinds of directors and crews, but the crew of "Wushuang" was the most surprising to me."
As she spoke, she pointed at the scene with the chopsticks in her hand.
"During lunch breaks, the crew is usually in a mess, with actors, extras, and staff all in their own groups, laughing and joking, playing and fighting.
But your crew is very organized even when they are taking a break or eating. The staff will sort out the equipment and put them in order before they leave. It's like military management."
"It seems that Sister Wenxi likes this management model very much." Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Of course," Huo Wenxi nodded, "At least this greatly reduces my workload as the coordinator."
“I originally thought this job was difficult, after all, there were so many things to do on the set, and it was my first time.
I didn't expect your crew's management model to be so 'modern'. After reading the work manual for each department, I knew which department should do what and who to contact when problems arose. It was simple and clear, and I was able to get started easily. "
"Hahahaha, that's because Sister Wenxi is very capable at work."
Wang Hao looked at Huo Wenxi and said, taking a few more mouthfuls of rice.
"Honestly, in my opinion, this kind of crew model should be the norm. I have heard my fathers say before, 'Every rule in the factory is condensed with blood.'
Although the crew is not as dangerous as the factory, these rules and regulations are the most appropriate methods summarized by the members of our production team after repeated attempts and summarization.
Although these rules and regulations may seem troublesome at work, if every member of the crew follows the rules and does their part well, the entire crew will run smoothly and even save more time in the end.”
Huo Wenxi nodded in agreement when he heard this. "Indeed, I usually manage the entertainment agency department of Emperor Entertainment Group. Oftentimes, it is because some people do not follow the rules that more time is wasted."
This conversation between the two was just a small episode in the operation of the "Wushuang" crew.
It is said that those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements. The modern management model of the "Wushuang" crew is particularly outstanding in the eyes of some knowledgeable people, but in the feelings of most people, it is just that this crew can shoot faster and more smoothly.
With the filming of the scenes in the former Yuen Long Water Treatment Works completed, Wang Hao and his team quickly moved on to other filming locations in Hong Kong.
Chek Lap Kok South Ring Road, located in the outlying islands area of Hong Kong, close to Hong Kong International Airport, is one of the photo spots recommended by Hong Kong photography enthusiasts. It has a wide sea view and therefore attracts countless cycling, photography and fishing enthusiasts to come and "check in".
Here, the crew filmed the scene in the movie where Li Wen was escorted back to the Hong Kong Police Headquarters.
Hollywood Building is located on Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of Hong Kong city. The fashionable street name has nothing to do with film art, but it is the most famous antique street in Hong Kong. It is the art distribution center of Asia, and is crowded with "treasure hunters" from all over the world. It is praised by foreign media as one of the "streets that must be visited once in a lifetime".
The antique shop named "Fuyuanxing" opened by Uncle Wu in the movie is located here.
The Hong Kong University Art Museum, formerly known as the Feng Pingshan Museum, was where Nguyen Van held her painting exhibition and also announced her marriage to Ma Chenggong.
In order to film this plot, Xu Zheng even took time out to fly to Hong Kong and made a cameo appearance as Ruan Wen's husband.
The Regent Hong Kong, a luxury hotel located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, is adjacent to tourist attractions such as the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars and Hong Kong Cultural Center.
In the movie, after Li Wen was released on bail, he and Xiuqing spent a night here.
……
After the filming of this series of plots was completed, a small number of Hong Kong actors and behind-the-scenes staff left the crew. The streamlined group flew to Vancouver, the largest port city in western Canada.
As the third largest city in Canada, Vancouver has been ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world for many years.
The climate here is pleasant all year round and the natural environment is unique. It is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with lush forests and beautiful scenery. It has various tourist facilities such as skiing, hunting, fishing, and sailing. At the same time, the rich cultural landscape is also one of the filming locations for many movies.
The movie "Wushuang" also had a lot of filming scenes here, and Wang Hao's overseas film and television company is also registered in Vancouver.
Of course, this company is just an empty shell at the moment, but at least it has laid a preliminary foundation for Galaxy Interactive Entertainment's overseas expansion.
