Chapter 978 Am I being intercepted? (4 updates·Please subscribe)
You know, in major European film festivals and film awards, a large number of best directors will appear every year. In the past few decades, there have been not a thousand but a few hundred, and most of them were at their peak when they debuted.
No more works from now on!
Carlos Zivkovic gained a certain degree of popularity two years ago, but as a native of the three major European film festivals, the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival is not that valuable, unless he wins it again, the best
It's Berlin, or Venice!
Otherwise, he is no different from most other art film directors who have won three Best Director awards once!
Not many people inside and outside the European film and television circles are willing to invest in people like them - they are destined to lose money. Who the hell is sick?
But Xia Yu is different.
As a "box office elixir", since her debut, every movie has been a relatively low-cost investment and high-return income. Now she has won three double awards. It can be said that Xia Yu is the best in terms of popularity and achievements.
Crush Carlos Zivkovic!
In the global film and television industry, the value of directors is definitely higher than that of actors, except for top actors!
Carlos has already planned the schedule for the next few months. In June and July, they will complete the preparations for the filming location of "Beauty and Original Sin", and at the same time publish information about recruiting actors and wait for actor auditions!
Preliminary preparations will end in August, the group will start reading in September, and filming will begin in October. Even if there is a lot of rainfall in Sicily, Italy, in winter and the weather is not particularly good, it will definitely be completed in five months!
If you edit again, you can participate in the Venice Film Festival next year, or in Berlin the year after that. If you're a little crazier - there will be opportunities in Berlin next year!
"The Aesthetics of Death" is different from "Beauty and Original Sin". One is set in France in the nineteenth century, and the other is set in modern war.
The former requires too much attention, research, and review, while the latter needs to focus more on the actors.
The shooting cycle, service methods, and actors' performance posture requirements are all completely different, and the difficulty is even different.
Carlos Zivkovic is already busy organizing his itinerary in his head!
"I probably have to tell you that I'm sorry!" Xia Yu suddenly apologized, catching him off guard. Carlos Zivkovic's first thought was, "I've been hacked?"
And the information in his mind was revealed without concealment at all.
Shocked and unbelievable, she said with a little shame and anger: "Am I being cut off? Because you won the Best Actress at Cannes this year, a better script came to you, and you agreed?!"
He even cried while talking.
"You have violated our agreement!
We signed the contract - I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Not only me, but also Yu misjudged you!"
"?" Where is this all from?
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment and was completely confused by him. He immediately covered his mouth to hold back his laughter and said, "When did I say I wanted to give up cooperation?"
"?" Carlos Zivkovic was startled, blinked, and sniffed, "...then what do you mean?"
"I want to say that the shooting may have to be postponed, or in other words, the shooting will be carried out according to your original schedule, in November, and the preparatory work of the shooting will be left to you - leave it to you, I don't
Ways to participate.”
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help complaining, "Also, the original plan was not to start preparations in August? Join the group at the end of October?"
"Is there a new shooting assignment, or is it because of the editing of the last movie?" Carlos Zivkovic wiped away the snot that had not flowed out in a daze, blew his nose, and pretended to be nonchalant.
"I need to complete the editing of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in June, and I need to participate in the global press conference for "The Hunger Games Part 1" when it is released in July. From August to late October, I have other tasks for three months, which are not filming - because they are related
The reason is kept secret for the time being!”
"Oh no! It's clearly our agreement first!"
"Really?" Xia Yu was not used to him, "You can't even give the exact time. A director who can't set time and punctuality blames an actor who has been waiting for you for a year?"
"I..." Carlos said weakly, "Okay, you are right!"
Xia Yu did not intend to continue teasing Carlos, and explained the itinerary succinctly, and said: "So, regarding the creation of the filming location and casting of "Beauty and Original Sin", although I cannot participate, Senior Sister Zhuang Ling will accompany you.
Follow up and won’t waste time!”
"Huh!" Carlos Zivkovic breathed a sigh of relief at first when he heard this, but then he couldn't tell whether it was fear or a numb scalp, and he asked tentatively: "Hezhuang?" Did I hear it wrong?
"Yes!" Xia Yu said amusedly, "Afraid?"
"How is that possible! Just...don't you think this is too big a fuss? She should be dealing with more important work!"
"Indeed! But for her - helping me check and handle all the unexpected situations that may happen before and during the shooting is one of her most important jobs..."
"...Okay!" Carlos Zivkovic sighed. It was obvious that they had made arrangements, and he made a slight comparison in his mind, 'As long as it's not Xia Fang my dove, being watched, and having official business with that terrible woman.
, is it not too difficult to accept?'
"Besides, I'm just an actor, at most half an investor - the crew's affairs have nothing to do with me, right?"
"It seems so?"
He wanted to refute, but why?
Xia Yu has been waiting since April, and even prepared the text storyboards for "Beauty and Original Sin" during this year.
At the same time, several related teams were also arranged to intervene in the post-production of "Aesthetics of Death" and be responsible for various matters of the two crews. If not, let alone the end of May, it would be difficult to "Aesthetics of Death" without July.
Completely cut out!
Xia Yu also said: "Moreover, "Aesthetics of Death" has only been successfully edited initially. Whether it can pass the review is still a question."
Carlos Zivkovic's films are basically cut again and again, and it will take at least a month until they are officially reviewed——
Therefore, the arrangements in Carlos's mind were all based on a whim, without any careful consideration of accidents and emergencies. They took it for granted!
"Not only the review of the three major European film festivals, but also the review standards for screening or broadcasting in various countries - multiple versions are required, have you completed them?"
Carlos was stunned, "...We have only completed the French version so far!"
"That is to say, there are no English subtitles, Chinese subtitles, or other language subtitles yet? Is that right?"
"……yes!"
"In addition to language, the review standards of each country must also be taken into consideration. Are they all ready? So, what I mean is to keep working hard, right?"
Xia Yu was multitasking and asked him: "What do you think?"
