    Therefore, Li Mingbao got everything that was not in the original plot. For example, in the scenes of the deal with the gringo, Li Mingbao directly brought a helicopter and parked the plane on the rooftop apron, and then the gringo  They came down with a few bodyguards in black suits.  There is not only one suitcase with U.S. dollars, so how much can it hold?  It was just a box of one cubic meter, and ten of them came in a row.  The transaction is not a box of Hong Kong dollars, but a cashier's check.  It must be high-end and classy, ??and the cashier's check is genuine. It was issued by Li Mingbao and can be used to withdraw money immediately at Standard Chartered Bank.  ??Through Li Mingbao's high-level transformation, "A Better Tomorrow", which originally seemed stingy, immediately rose to the level of a regional counterfeit currency group.  As for the scene in Taiwan, it was not a scenario where some small policemen blocked people up in jalopy cars, but the army went directly to the scene.  ¡° In this way, the film is certainly high-end, but Wu Yusen was also frightened by Li Mingbao¡¯s spending model. At first, he didn¡¯t think that a gun fight movie could cost two to three million Hong Kong dollars.  But when Li Mingbao came to design the plot, Wu Yusen was worried about whether the two to three million Hong Kong dollars would be enough for Li Mingbao to spend.  You know, the scene where the army was invited was not much. There were not many people from the army, less than a hundred people, and there were not many shots. But even so, Li Mingbao spent six months on this scene.  One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and the money for contacting the big guys in Taiwan is not included.  In Wu Yusen's view, Li Mingbao is a typical prodigal. He didn't have many shots in total, but he spent one-sixth of the shooting cost. If Wu Yusen didn't understand what excellence meant before, now he  I finally understand what Li Mingbao meant by striving for excellence. To put it bluntly, it means spending money to achieve results.  "But after Li Mingbao spent all this money, the effect was immediate, and the quality of the movie improved a lot.  Compared with those plots in Wu Yusen's previous plans, Li Mingbao's arrangement is more in line with the rhythm of the plot.  Therefore, even if Wu Yusen watched Li Mingbao spend money and his heart ached, he could only look at the camera at this time, out of sight and out of mind.  Wu Yusen's stinginess is actually caused by the current film shooting environment in Hong Kong.  Hong Kong is already very small, so making a movie requires even more cost considerations.  The most successful person in the Hong Kong film industry is undoubtedly Shao Taiheng, and the second most successful person is Chow Taiheng.  These two tycoons, Shao Daheng is desperate for money. No matter what kind of expenditures on the movie, Shao Daheng is stuck.  Just like the costumes and props used in costume dramas, Uncle Liu never thought of washing them.  When the previous crew used it, it was locked in the warehouse, waiting for the next crew to use it.  Some people like to be clean, so wash their dirty costumes.  Some people don't like to be clean, so the dirty costumes from the previous crew will be used by the next crew, and if it continues like this, no one will care about it until it stinks. Anyone who receives such a costume will consider themselves unlucky or wash it themselves.  Or keep wearing it.  This is evident from Uncle Six's stinginess.  Although Zou Daheng is not as good as Liu Shu, he is not necessarily much better. For popular actors, Zou Daheng naturally attaches great importance to them and pays them a high price. But for ordinary people, Zou Daheng is just like that.  If Zou Daheng is asked to spend hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for a few minutes of filming like Li Mingbao, he is definitely not in the mood to do this.  As the saying goes, the two top bosses above all have this problem. The people below have been following for a long time, and naturally they are more or less infected with this problem. Wu Yusen is sitting on the bench in Jiahe, and the amount of filming is  It has never exceeded the limit of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. It's just such a small amount of money and it has to satisfy everyone. Naturally, I can save whatever I can.  So when he first started filming, Wu Yusen didn¡¯t know how to spend money.  Later, it was Li Mingbao who took over and made those actors really realize how money is spent, especially Zhou Runfa. The dollar bills used to light cigarettes were real dollar bills. The cigarettes were not worth as much as the dollar bills, which made Zhou Runfa filming.  I was in a daze for a while, did he really use the dollar bills to light cigarettes?  By the end of the movie, after everyone saw Li Mingbao¡¯s wealthy and wealthy filming methods, they all adapted to it, and the progress of filming naturally became much faster.  It is normal for veteran actors and actresses to shoot quickly. When filming in Shaw Brothers, it was not unusual to be able to sleep while standing while filming a TV series.  But for the two newcomers, Leslie Cheung and Li Zhixiong, this is simply fatal.  Zhang Guorong used to think that practicing singing was very painful, but now after continuous filming, he immediately understood that practicing singing was a paradise. Fortunately, Zhang Guorong was very resilient and persevered with just one breath.  Li Zhixiong is not so lucky. Although he does not appear in many scenes, his role is very important, soHow to perform better has become Li Zhixiong's most important issue in the crew.  ¡°I didn¡¯t have any acting experience, but being urged by the crew, Li Zhixiong¡¯s experience immediately started to increase.  In order to show the ruthlessness under the suppleness, Li Zhixiong suffered enough. At the beginning, Li Zhixiong was not enlightened. In order to let him get into the role smoothly, Wu Yusen even used his hands-on ability to teach Li Zhixiong a lesson. With the practical lessons, let him  Li Zhixiong always knew how to behave this viciously.  The most direct consequence is that director Wu Yusen always felt chilly when filming Li Zhixiong's scenes.  Later, Li Zhixiong was included in the role, and filming his scenes became much easier.  And also received a lot of praise from Wu Yusen.  But perhaps Wu Yusen suppressed Li Zhixiong so hard at the beginning that Li Zhixiong always disliked talking to Wu Yusen.  ??Wu Yusen was inexplicably lying down. In fact, the culprit was Li Mingbao, the guy who was the producer, because he saw that Li Zhixiong was always out of touch with the scenes, so he came up with such a bad idea.  The result was very good, but Wu Yusen was hated by Li Zhixiong.  Fortunately, Li Zhixiong is only the scheming boss in the movie, not the real boss. Otherwise, Wu Yusen would really risk his life.  To say that the person who has been best trained by this crew is Zhang Guorong, because he plays a hot-blooded policeman, and his age is very consistent with the current Zhang Guorong, so although filming is quite tiring, Zhang Guorong is half his true character and half acting.  The performance made it easy to make this character popular.  Compared with the original version, which still has some artificial looks, this version of Leslie Cheung can definitely get high scores.  After the crew got on track, the filming progressed very quickly. It took only one and a half months for the entire drama to be filmed.  In addition to the time it takes to go to Taiwan for filming, the filming progress in Hong Kong is completely different from that in Hollywood.  In Hong Kong, there are only directors like Wong Jiawei and Hollywood directors, and Wong Jiawei's movies are indeed art films. Anyway, when Li Mingbao has nothing to do, he always goes to watch the movies of Hong Kong's future famous directors.  Li Mingbao's other movies are all very interesting to watch. Even some of them can prove the director's skill and that he doesn't just do it for the sake of doing it.  But for Wang Jiawei's movies, Li Mingbao would get dizzy every time he watched them. Anyway, he always couldn't understand them. Only those fish in water would be fooled by him. And people like Shao Liushu, if Wang Jiawei worked under him, then basically  Wang Jiawei had no choice but to resign.  At this point, Li Mingbao's aesthetics are similar to those of Liu Shu.  But the world of artists is something ordinary people don¡¯t understand, so in those art films, except for some of the more exciting scenes, Li Mingbao fast-forwards everything else.  As for Wang Jiawei's movies, Li Mingbao is even less interested in fast forwarding.  After the filming of the movie is completed, it is natural that it will be completed.  And after finishing, it¡¯s a big meal.  During this feast, Li Mingbao not only wanted to drink, but also wanted to resolve the grievances between Wu Yusen and Li Zhixiong.  Because Wu Yusen was somewhat innocent. If Li Mingbao hadn't come up with the bad idea, Li Zhixiong would definitely not hate Wu Yusen.  But now, even after filming, Li Zhixiong has not given Wu Yusen a good look. Under such circumstances, how can Li Mingbao bear to let Wu Yusen take the blame?  After all, Wu Yusen really put his heart into this scene. Although the final editing sample has not been released yet, looking at those scenes, Li Mingbao also knew that his film "A Better Tomorrow" was better than the original version.  , even more outstanding.  It¡¯s not that the plot is outstanding, but the details are outstanding.  There is a saying that goes well: details determine success or failure, and the same applies to movies.  Although movies are made here in Hong Kong, few pay attention to details.  Even when Uncle Liu was filming TV series, in order to save money, many times even the background was built as a set.  People can tell at a glance that those shots were not taken in such-and-such a valley or in such-and-such a cave.  Instead, it was made in Shaw Brothers studio and processed later.  Such a movie is enough to fool the locals in Hong Kong, but it is basically impossible to fool the foreigners. Therefore, the movies made by Uncle Six have basically never entered the North American market, because those audiences are difficult to fool.  Regarding the grievances between Li Zhixiong and Wu Yusen, after Li Mingbao personally poured a glass of wine for Li Zhixiong to apologize, no matter how big the grievances Li Zhixiong had, they all disappeared.  You know, Li Mingbao is a real billionaire, and such a person made himself feel a little wronged for the sake of filming, and finally apologized personally. With such sincerity, what else can Li Zhixiong be dissatisfied with?  With Li Mingbao¡¯s explanation, Li Zhixiong soon became friends with Wu Yusen. As long as Li Zhixiong put aside his prejudices, he could see Wu Yusen¡¯s ability., before it was because of hatred, even if you saw it, you would pretend you didn't see it, but now the prejudice is gone, and both parties can naturally have a pleasant chat.
