Chapter 298 If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem
"How about it?"
When Jerry saw Cao Yu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Cao Yu's face was a little serious, and then he thought for a while and replied: "It's okay for the old actors to do it. When the script is confirmed, you can talk to them. Those young people either have poor acting skills or are too poor to survive for a long time."
Jerry understood as soon as he heard Cao Yu's words, he wanted to be old, not young.
"How could you ask them to compete with you?" After hearing this, Jerry looked at Cao Yu's words with a little flattery.
Cao Yu reacted as Jerry reminded him.
Indeed, I was a little too harsh about Tse Xie and Chen Kun (Jaylen Zhou can't do it, and Cao Yu doesn't want to provoke him).
After all, when you become famous at a young age, there is no one who is not arrogant.
"I didn't compare them with me, I just didn't look forward to their future development." Cao Yu explained.
Cao Yu's words are true. After all, if Tse and Chen Kun can not disappear later and have the level of Baoqiang King, Huang Bo, Huang Sanshi, Deng Chao and others, Cao Yu will have to give the two a chance today.
After all, the two of them can help Cao Yu later.
But after these two people, one went to cook, and the other has not played any big roles since 10 years.
"You are comparing your career with others. According to your career as a comparison object, there is no second actor in the world who can be considered a future for development. I guess Leonardo is not good at comparing you." Jerry continued.
"Are you cleverly flattering me or charging them money?" Cao Yu asked with his head tilted, hearing the wrong taste.
Jerry finally smiled embarrassedly and did not continue to speak.
…………
In the next ten days, Lin Yishan gradually improved the script, handed it over to Cao Yu for review, and then quickly went to train the five crews.
After all, it’s time to be delayed and it’s almost February 2006.
You should know that this project was decided around October last year, and the money was already in place.
In other words, the project leader is Cao Yu, who is known as the King of Hollywood and has never suffered a defeat in his past career. Otherwise, Hollywood would have sent someone to urge him - if you give money, don't you say you can give something, why don't you even have a chance to make a noise or even a chance to open it?
Cao Yu also knew the tightness of time, so after taking over the script, he immediately started to study it carefully.
Cao Yu’s ability to write scripts is not good, but his ability to appreciate scripts is very vicious to rely on his rebirth of his vision of more than ten years of rebirth.
What's more, Cao Yu's picture association ability is particularly strong, and the script given by Lin Yishan was so careful that the storyboard was drawn.
So for Cao Yu, watching this script is like watching a silent movie - and he can also dubbing it in his mind.
After reading the whole article, Cao Yu felt that the plot was fine, with ups and downs, and it was straightforward and clear, which was very consistent with the aesthetics of the global public.
However, the action scenes and action scenes in the script are not popular, making people feel excited when watching, while the latter is too regular and has no novelty, making people feel unremarkable when watching.
However, Cao Yu did not blame Lin Yishan. After all, although Lin Yishan became a world leader with the [Dragon Clan], [Hurricane Rescue] and [Attack on Titan].
However, action scenes have never been a director's specialty, especially for Lin Yishan, Wan Ziren, and a group of Hollywood directors who have been in the United States, action scenes are even more messy.
However, domestic directors are not very good at action scenes.
But action scenes are a very important part of a movie, especially in a popcorn movie that bombs the audience's vision.
So in the end, a new profession was born in action movies, and even in many non-action movies, martial arts coaching.
Awesome, such as Yuan Baye, who is very good at making a living in Hollywood.
No one can remember anything that is not awesome, no one can remember anything that is not awesome.
Putting down the script, Cao Yu picked up the phone on his desk. On the other side of his desk, the phone directly connected to the third person in charge of the Modu Bonfire Film and Television Company (the first person in charge is him, the second is that Jerry has been busy helping Lin Yishan to set up a crew recently, and the third person in charge is a professional manager who usually works in the Modu Bonfire Work): "Hey! Lao Zhou? Today, you contact the person from the eldest brother Cheng Long, and I said that I lack a martial arts supervisor when I was filming movies. Ask him if he could call three or five people over to help?"
"Okay, Mr. Cao."
After listening, Cao Yu hung up the phone and then raised his feet on the desk with a little smugness.
It will definitely be difficult to find a martial arts coach, especially a powerful and professional martial arts coach, if you put it on ordinary people.
Even some domestic big directors who don’t make action movies suddenly want to make action movies, they will not be able to find a suitable martial arts coach for a while.
For example, Zhang Yimou's [Hero] has very ordinary martial arts guidance.
But this problem is not a problem for Cao Yu.
Which martial arts coach is the best, then it is naturally the best in Hong Kong in China.
The eldest brother Cheng Long is the number one person in the capital of Hong Kong, and the eldest brother Cheng Long still owe him a favor.
At this time, Cao Yu called his elder brother Cheng Long, and the other side would naturally make arrangements for Cao Yu.
Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to ask for a level like Yuan Baye, but it is lower than that. Cao Yu believes that the eldest brother Cheng Long can invite him three or five.
After all, what kind of character is the eldest brother Cheng Long in the action movie world now? He is ranked first with Lianjie Li.
So this call was called, and his project was also a chance to become famous. Cao Yu believed that in three or five days, at least three or five martial arts coaches with high skills would be recommended by Cheng Long.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Yuhan held his head and rubbed the beard that had not been seen with his hands. Then he took out his cell phone and called his cheap godfather, Godfather Chen.
"Godfather, how is the project in the film and television city?" Without a few clicks, the phone was connected there. Cao Yu didn't go around in circles and asked directly.
As a result, Godfather Chen, who was a wealthy man in construction, heard Cao Yu call to ask, and the series of high-end words came.
"How is it? I can do anything else, right?" Godfather Chen was asked about itchy when Cao Yu asked him, but he didn't care about Cao Yu calling him Godfather, but pride himself first.
Then in order to fill his boast, he immediately continued some introductions.
"The overall style, according to what you said, combined with the architectural characteristics of each dynasty, take the essence and remove the dross. I invited old experts from the Department of Ancient Architecture of Peking University and Huaqing University to be consultants.
It is absolutely antique, absolutely expansive and absolutely impeccable.
However, on the one hand, it is to ensure the quality of the building, and on the other hand, it is to reduce costs. After all, you also know that wood in China is very expensive, and most ancient buildings, no matter which dynasty, are made of wood.
So, except for a few iconic buildings, most ordinary buildings are decorated with cement structures inside and outside wood.
This reduces costs and improves the quality of the building, and from the outside, there is no flaw at all.
then……"
There are a lot of Balabala, and in summary, it's just one sentence, that is, he's really good at doing it and is awesome.
In the end, Cao Yu finally waited for Godfather Chen to brag about his strong professionalism, and then asked: "When can we film a movie?"
“Uh~”
Godfather Chen was stunned and squirted wildly, "This is a few days since the construction started, and the cement has not reached its strength?"
After being criticized by Godfather Chen, Cao Yu also knew that his request seemed to be a bit too much. After all, it took less than a month to complete the calculation, and the cement strength would take twenty-eight days. His request was indeed a bit too much.
However, Cao Yu had no choice. After all, his movements had accelerated, otherwise it would have been almost half a year. Not to mention the filming, even a launch conference was not held. The investors in Hollywood could not sit still.
So Cao Yu asked tentatively: "Godfather, I know that time is tight, but my shooting here is indeed a little faster. I think so. I will give you the scenes I need to shoot. You can build them according to the needs above. Is this okay?"
Godfather Chen pondered for a while, and then said one by one on the other side of the phone: "Okay, send the scene you need!"
"Okay, I'll have someone give you the scenes you need in a while." After saying that, Cao Yu hung up the phone, then picked up the phone on his desk, contacted the props department, and asked the scenes needed in the script to extract the scenes needed in the script.
After all, Cao Yu is able to do this kind of "according to the picture" job, but there is no need to waste his time.
Cao Yu has more important things to do.
Then Cao Yu called Lin Yishan again, "How is the crew going?"
"It's almost the same. When shooting, I'll give you more advice and can barely use it. After all, they are all students with foundation, and they have strong learning ability and are very motivated." Although Lin Yishan's words revealed fatigue, he was in a good mood.
"That's good." Cao Yu said affirmatively: "I have read the script. Except for the martial arts and footage in action scenes, it needs to be changed, everything else is good and can be taken intact.
But don’t worry about the martial arts and cameras in the action scenes. I have called my elder brother Cheng Long to transfer people to me in Hong Kong. I guess there will be three or five postures in two days, and I have thought about a few shots and just add them.
So... I'm going to officially start the computer in February. Those fancy boot programs will be exempted this time. Not to mention the effect, it's so useless. It's so time-consuming. What do you think?"
“…”
Lin Yishan was speechless for a long time. After all, he knew that Cao Yu said this. Although he was asking, it was actually just a notice.
However, Lin Yishan was not unhappy. After all, Cao Yu was the boss, so it was natural to inform employees when to work.
What he should do at this time is to prevent mistakes in the next work. He has to think about some of the problems that may arise during shooting in advance, and then raise them to prevent problems before they happen.
After a long speechlessness, Lin Yishan finally thought of a mistake and said, "Mr. Cao, I can train the crew step by step, and the shooting is not a problem, but the actors have some problems?"
Cao Yu was shocked and asked by Lin Yishan's words.
After all, he personally participated in the actors in this drama. He invited all the old actors and young actors with average acting skills. He only transferred a group of people from the Demon City Bonfire Film and Television, such as Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Yi Zhousun, Chuanjun (Guan Gu Shenqi), Zheng Kai, Chen He (Zeng Xiaoxian), Jiayin Lei, Jin Feiguo... and others.
But these people are just playing supporting roles in the drama! Although these people have never experienced any storms and acting skills, they are still very immature because they are young, but being a supporting role is still enough.
So Lin Yishanyi said that there was something wrong with the actors. Cao Yu's first reaction was that these young actors who were very famous in the future were such a useless person who couldn't even run into a supporting role?
"Who? I've masturbated him!" Cao Yu asked quickly.
As a result, Lin Yishan was stunned and explained: "It's not one, but an extra."
"Extra?" Cao Yu was stunned after hearing Lin Yishan's words.
Damn extra, you are just talking nonsense about acting skills. Why do you have such high requirements? Isn’t it just a background board?
"What's wrong with the extra? There's no line."
Cao Yu said in confusion, and then he thought of something, "Oh~, there are not any lines at all, they are all similar, ah, um, um, um, you should not be too demanding of them too much."
"I didn't have high requirements, but I took some shots in the script before, and I wanted to try it out. However, the extras here are really not comparable to those in Hollywood. The background boards are very rough!" Lin Yishan complained.
After Lin Yishan reminded him, Cao Yu suddenly reacted.
Indeed, domestic extras are indeed not comparable to Hollywood extras.
After all, the title of the world's film factory is not a blowjob, but is reflected in all aspects. Hollywood's years of accumulation of film factories, coupled with the cheerful personality of Europeans and Americans, they are not frightened in the face of the camera, so the level of extras is indeed good.
On the other hand, many extras in China don’t even speak Mandarin well when they see the camera, and they are out of tune. They are not turning to the dialect. It would be better if they turn to the dialect, it would be better if they turn to the dialect, and it would add a real atmosphere to the movie.
More extras are out of tune, which is running towards abnormal vocal cords - it is not normal to speak nervously.
It is logical that this problem is difficult to deal with. After all, the problem of extra-level is not something Cao Yu can do just by giving two ideas.
Chapter completed!
