Chapter 324 One Eighth Complete(1/2)

Regarding marriage-related matters, it was brought up at this time, not that Mother Liu and Father Cao and Mother Cao were very anxious.

Just because it is like spanking a child on a rainy day, it is also idle.

When two families get together during the Chinese New Year, there is really no more interesting topic to talk about than their children's marriage.

Even in the traditional concept, Liu's mother, who is the 'loser' party, is not too enthusiastic about Cao Yu and Liu Yifei's marriage at this time.

After all, Cao Yu and Liu Yifei are at this age, and even if they want to get married, they have to wait until their first birthday.

So after the Spring Festival, Cao's father, Cao's mother, and Liu's mother exchanged greetings for a while, and then they went about their own business.

Although Father Cao and Mother Cao’s original business collapsed, they couldn’t bear to have a promising son!

With Cao Yu providing some start-up capital, Cao's father was able to make a comeback.

Moreover, Father Cao, who had suffered a failure, was much more cautious this time. Although he did not make a lot of money, he was able to turn around and was very busy.

Mother Liu, on the other hand, has completely returned to her retirement life, and only travels when she has nothing to do.

After all, it turns out that Liu’s mother’s career is as an agent for her daughter Liu Yifei.

But Cao Yu, who is well aware of the strength of Mama Liu's agent, would dare to let his wife make the same mistake again.

So after Liu Yifei "ran away from home" last time, Cao Yu never let Liu Yifei return to Liu's mother.

Fortunately, Liu's mother saw that Cao Yu was taking care of Liu Yifei, so she was not particularly obsessed with being Liu Yifei's agent.

When the popular Dabieye became a little deserted again, Cao Yu returned to the crew with Liu Yifei.

Now the time has come to February 2007, and because February is a short month, and because of the Chinese New Year, I have to take annual leave two weeks early.

So when the crew starts working again, there are basically not many days left in February, and it will be March soon.

Time flies by quickly, and what follows is a tight schedule.

After all, what is important when making a movie is not fighting against each other, but maximizing profits.

Although the eight films have different investors, since they belong to a series of films, they must not collide with each other.

This is a bit difficult.

After all, the eight movies started shooting at the same time. Logically speaking, the filming should end at about the same time, so the release time should be the same.

However, this should be taken for granted and cannot be accepted by the Big Six in Hollywood.

After all, for the Big Six in Hollywood, money has become movies, although it can be said to be a different way to accompany them.

But it is obvious that the Big Six in Hollywood still like money to accompany them in the first way, so money turns into movies, so it is best for movies to turn into money quickly.

After all, according to the understanding of the Big Six in Hollywood.

The annual film and television share is only so large, and the profit pie is only so large. If you take one bite, the cake will definitely be one less bite.

Although there is no such thing as someone who can finish the cake in one bite.

But the one I ate at the beginning definitely had the advantage.

However, although Cao Yu knew what Hollywood was thinking, he didn't pay much attention to Hollywood's six major thoughts.

What he wanted to do was to finish filming the movie as quickly as possible. After all, it was like having a safe life. The project was not over yet, so his secret transfer of funds would not be covered up for a day.

But when it comes to making movies, you can’t just go fast if you want it to be fast, just like a man can’t just say it’s OK.

"I'm done shooting."

Just a few days after the Spring Festival holiday in the film and television city, Cao Yu was still in his own crew, thinking sadly about how to maintain the operation of the next eight crews.

Cameron suddenly licked his face, came to Cao Yu's side and said this.

"ah!"

After hearing what Cameron said, Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then a little stunned, and a little unbelievable.

Because James Wan and Lin Yishan are his subordinates, the kind of subordinates who can be commanded like donkeys, directors like Spielberg and Cameron were invited by Cao Yu.

So in terms of squeezing, Cao Yu still tends to squeeze Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan - Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan are also used to it.

After all, directors such as Spielberg and Cameron were so eager to squeeze out their talents that they gave up their talents. Cao Yu really had no point.

Therefore, in terms of crew resources, the top five directors such as Spielberg and Cameron have more resources.

But that's only compared to the crew resources in Cao Yu's own hands, as well as those in the hands of Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan.

The five crews were cut into eight parts. No matter how much we tried, each crew did not have a complete crew!

This will inevitably have an impact on the shooting schedule.

This kind of Hollywood A-level big-budget movie, if nothing else, would take more than three months to shoot normally!

But how long did it take for Cameron to shoot, and it's now complete?

"Director Ka, are you kidding me?" Cao Yu didn't believe it.

"Really, I've done all the post-editing. I'm just waiting for the special effects to be added." Cameron looked at Cao Yu and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, "If you don't believe it, you can watch it!

Add some special effects and it will be ready for release."

Cao Yu looked at Cameron's appearance seriously. It didn't look like he was joking. Cao Yu looked at the USB flash drive in Cameron's hand seriously, and suddenly wanted to complain in his heart:

Fortunately, we are now in the era of digital film shooting. The finished film is all data, so you can take your USB drive with you everywhere. In the film era, you would not have to think about this kind of thing.

But complaints are complaints. Even though Cao Yu felt that Cameron was not joking, Cao Yu still felt that seeing it was believing.

Cao Yu carries a laptop with him. After all, he is filming a movie with Liu Yifei as the protagonist. If Cao Yu, the director, does not do something, he will be distracted.

Even if Liu Yifei is his fiancée, Cao Yu feels that his courage will not last until the end of the movie.

Even though it’s only 2007, the performance of most laptops is no better than that of later generations.

But the one Cao Yu has in his hands is the dream of all men - the Alien laptop, a product that is nearly ten years ahead of its time.

With strong video decoding ability, Cao Yu downloaded some gymnastics teaching videos from Japanese teachers through a special website every time, so that he and Liu Yifei could rehearse one-on-one on the boat in the evening.

You can watch it after downloading it, you don’t have to worry about any format issues at all, and it’s smooth to watch.

Every aspect of this computer is very ahead of the times, so the price is also very ahead of the times. Like its performance, it is nearly ten years ahead of other laptops in the current era.

After inserting the USB flash drive, the computer recognized it at the speed of light, and then Cao Yu clicked on the D drive. There was a video file with a large capacity inside. Obviously, this is Cameron's work these days.

Cao Yu directly clicked on the video file.

Since it is not a released version, there is nothing messy at the beginning, not even a special beginning, and it goes straight into the plot.

The length of the video is about one hundred and ten minutes, which is considered a normal length. After all, with the addition of all kinds of messy things, the total length of the movie can reach one hundred and twenty minutes, or even one hundred and thirty minutes.

minutes.

Cao Yu didn't watch it like a movie. After all, he was not an audience at this time, but a director.

So Cao Yu only needed to watch some shots and scenes.

Therefore, Cao Yu directly increased the speed to five times and began to observe.

With the five-times speed viewing experience, Cao Yu only took about 20 minutes to watch a 110-minute movie, which is really fast.

After Cao Yu finished reading, he glanced at Cameron in surprise, and Cameron patted Cao Yu on the shoulder and said in a rough voice: "How is it? The quality is good!"

Not only is it good, it's simply awesome.

Cao Yu had no choice but to turn off the sound due to the fact that the whole process was played at five times the speed.

After all, speaking at five times the speed, even if the lines of the characters in the movie are in authentic Mandarin, after being played like this, it will basically be harder for people to understand than the dialects in some parts of China.

However, although there is no sound, there are subtitles! In addition, Cao Yu has a very awesome memory, and he has read the script, so Cao Yu still has the experience of watching the movie.

Cao Yu watched the whole process and didn't notice the roughness of being in a hurry. Instead, he felt that every shot had been carefully polished. Even when it came to scoring, every shot could reach 90 points.

This is outrageous.

You must know that this was filmed in a very short time by Cameron using only one incomplete crew!

And this is about Cameron!

Filmmaking is notoriously slow.

If Cameron hadn't told him here, he would have thought it was shot by Spielberg.

"How did you do it?" Cao Yu asked curiously.

But rather than being curious, it is better to say that Cao Yu is a little jealous of Cameron's ability and wants to see if he can learn from it and then hand it over to Lin Yishan and Wen Ziren.

After all, at Cameron's rate, it's not difficult at all to make four or five movies a year by himself!

If only Cao Yu could train Lin Yishan and Wen Ziren to develop such talents.

Believe it or not, Cao Yu dared to select the top six in Hollywood all by himself.

"Ha!" Cameron obviously knew that Cao Yu was surprised as to why he was making movies so fast, so he snorted with some disdain, "People say I am slow in making movies, but it's not that I am slow, it's just that I want to be meticulous about every shot.

Just thinking about it.”

Carefully crafted?

Cao Yu looked at each of the shots on the computer. To him, they were already very carefully crafted shots, and he was a little confused.
