The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters should be responsible for Bruce Lee's death
Only those who know how to keep their heads down can stand out. Remember, it is possible, not absolute.
Jack and Dick did a very good job, and Ye Ming did not deliberately embarrass them. During the subsequent filming process, he did not always suppress them.
After all, everyone is making a movie, a crew, and if Ye Ming directly used his acting skills to overpower the lead actor and another supporting actor, then the resulting scenes would be impossible to watch.
Therefore, there is no need for Emmerich to say anything at this moment. At this moment, he just said that he would restrain his momentum. Therefore, the crew filmed very smoothly, and the necessary shots were shot in less than a week.
.
Pack up your things and go back to Hollywood. Don’t look at the place where you are going to shoot. It is New York, and it is said that New York is directly frozen. In fact, speaking of it, there are not many scenes that were actually shot in New York, and most of the scenes
, for example, places like the library were shot in Hollywood, so just set up an outdoor scene.
Of course, when you arrive in Hollywood, there is one more thing you have to do, and that is to report on the shooting situation. After receiving the five million, how much did it cost, where did it go, and how much is left. During the next shooting
, how much is needed, these need to be reported to James, the executor.
Although James is not the producer of this movie, he is the executor. He does not have any title on the movie, but every penny spent by the crew must be supervised by James. Once it is said that James thinks
If the fee is unreasonable and the director does not give a reasonable explanation, then the director himself will have to pay for the loss out of his own pocket.
Therefore, although I saw that the crew was lavish when filming, it was necessary. Emmerich would not waste a penny more. Even if it was a lunch box, it would be according to Hollywood's standard lunch boxes in cold weather.
.
This is the rule of Hollywood. A lunch box must be divided into various states. Needless to say, breakfast, lunch and evening, there are also snacks, and more importantly, what to eat throughout the year. The crew is in a cold area
, in the hot tropics, the standards of this lunch box are different.
Strictly speaking, lunch boxes like this need to be differentiated, so the Hollywood crew can only calculate the budget they need before filming.
In Hollywood, a crew can even calculate how many screws to use and how many screws to prepare. In a place like Hollywood, once the plan is made, it is rarely revised. Usually it is
It will be implemented according to the original plan.
Of course, if there is force majeure, for example, Coppola's Apocalypse Now encountered various problems and accidents such as weather, disease, etc., resulting in high final costs. And this kind of thing is usually not done by directors.
I will try my best to avoid it and report the consumption results to the executor regularly. This method is also an important factor in urging myself to budget carefully for shooting.
But this time, in the villa, Emmerich not only met James, but also Elizabeth. It was quite rare for the two siblings to be in the villa at the same time.
After all, it is about this villa. Under normal circumstances, Murdoch rarely comes, let alone James drinking Elizabeth, but this time for his own crew, the two of them were able to appear in the villa at the same time. Naturally, they were
The people in the villa waited on me carefully.
Seeing Emmerich coming over, at this moment, Elizabeth didn't even look at her. She snorted and looked at her brother and said, "James, I heard that your crew has been spending a lot of money recently. One location actually said
If you want to go to Duluth, why don't you go to Alaska, where it's even colder."
This was a strategy of Elizabeth's. She was very unhappy with her father for giving her brother more money, but not giving herself that much. Therefore, she would always make a sarcastic comment when she found an opportunity.
At this time, James said nonchalantly: "Don't tell me, I originally wanted to go to Alaska, but considering that it was a waste of time to go back and forth, I was too lazy to let the crew go. Originally, I wanted the crew to go to the Arctic Circle.
We have to shoot some scenes in the Arctic Circle. Now we only have to buy some Arctic Circle lenses. The director told me that if we shoot in the Arctic Circle, it will be too late in terms of time."
This purchase of copyright is also very normal. It may not be a popular practice in the domestic entertainment industry, but overseas, even if it is a photo, let alone a piece of footage, the copyright is strictly enforced.
protected.
For example, buying the copyright for some empty shots of movies is also a popular method at this time. For example, some movies need to be filmed in Australia, Hawaii, or some scenic spots such as China and Asan. They have been filmed in the past.
Small crews don't have enough money, so they can only buy the copyright. Some people in these places will shoot some blank footage and upload it to the Internet. If anyone needs it, they can just pay for it directly.
This is a very common thing in some Hollywood movies, especially low-cost movies.
And Elizabeth is obviously unwilling to accept this explanation: "Waste, it can be filmed in Hollywood, but you have to go to Duluth at this time. What a waste, the money your father gave you is not for you to waste."
.”
James said with a smile: "Elizabeth, I can tell at a glance that you are a layman. What is this called? Ye Ming, what did you just say it was called?"
Ye Ming is not willing to get involved in such grudges between wealthy families. Even though Elizabeth is not liked by Murdoch and is not considered a candidate for heir, at this time, after all, the love between father and daughter is deep.
Maybe one day the old man would think of his daughter, and it would be normal for him to appoint Elizabeth directly.
But at this time, James and himself were also waiting on the same front. Therefore, Ye Ming, who was sitting aside, squinted his eyes and said with a deep look: "The sense of the camera, this is what I mean.
It has a lens feel. Although the shots taken indoors can be close to the real feeling under the current high-tech situation, there is a gap between them and real shots after all, especially the weather-related shots. This kind of shot
It's very special. An expert can basically tell the difference between artificial and natural at a glance.
If it’s an indoor shot, there won’t be that big of a difference.”
James immediately burst into laughter and said as if he had won: "Elizabeth, my dear eldest sister, you know, it's the sense of the camera, the sense of the camera. If you don't know, just study more and don't always care about mental patients.
"
This is an irony. Matthew Freud is a psychiatrist, not a mental patient. But obviously, what James wants to achieve is also very obvious. That is to say, in such a situation, directly
Replace Matthew Freud with a psychopath.
This is actually a kind of irony towards his eldest sister's mistress.
Elizabeth was immediately furious: "James, are you looking for death?"
This is the eldest sister’s fault. Whether it’s because Elizabeth is stubborn or because she was carried away by love, siblings are not like this. Even if they want to take revenge on James, in a place like this
Under certain circumstances, it would be normal to use other means to stumble James.
Directly threatening her younger brother on this matter, and a younger brother who has a very high status in News Corporation, obviously, this does not help Elizabeth at all, but it leaves people with the impression that she has no scheming.
But that's what she did, directly threatening her younger brother. Obviously, James didn't take his sister's threat to heart at all. This is why James always thinks that his eldest sister is like a younger sister. Sometimes women are unreasonable.
, that is unreasonable and has nothing to say.
It seemed that this was obviously not the first time that James had been threatened by this kind of life. Therefore, he said with a smile: "Sister, please, now is not the time to threaten me, but what is the level of your movie."
The one invited is the big star, Will Smith, but if the filming progress is not enough, it will also affect the scheduled schedule. Do you think your father will change your schedule casually?"
Although the prediction of this schedule cannot be very accurate, no matter what it is, there is always a rough time. Generally, the schedule prediction of a movie in Hollywood is plus or minus ten days, and science fiction movies, because of technology,
The uncertainty of production is that the general schedule error is about one month, but it will definitely not differ by one quarter.
Therefore, it is estimated when the film will be released and when it will be released. Is it during the summer vacation or the Christmas season? These will have a huge impact on the box office of the film.
Therefore, it is relatively difficult to change the schedule.
Speaking of movies, Elizabeth's professional mind immediately sobered up. I have to say that Murdoch's inheritance is quite powerful. Even an emotional woman like Elizabeth will change her mind immediately once business matters are mentioned.
Very powerful.
Therefore, at this time, Elizabeth immediately said: "Of course there is no problem with the movie. I invited Alex, a master in this field, who has directed "Soul of the Air", "The Crow", "Aurora Chase", etc.
He is a director who is quite skilled in movies, and his grasp of details is also quite good. As an independent director, I think he will calculate the time very accurately."
Alex, this director may sound relatively unfamiliar to domestic audiences. In fact, unless they are a few big-name directors in Hollywood, they all sound relatively unfamiliar to domestic audiences. But this Alex
Si should be an exception, because he filmed "The Crow", starring Li Guohao, and Li Guohao's father is a monument in the history of world cinema.
Because this person is different from Bruce Lee, the Kung Fu superstar that both Chinese and Westerners respectfully call him. Li Guohao died accidentally from a prop gun when there were only eight days left before the filming of the movie "The Crow" was completed.
Some people say it's a coincidence, some people say it's a curse. No matter how it is, it just happened. Later, Alex used some high-tech means to complete the [Crow]
Post-production work.
Alex, at least when it comes to making science fiction films, is a relatively capable director.
Elizabeth said enthusiastically: "After the filming of our movie is completed, it will definitely cause a sensation."
Just when Elizabeth wanted to continue talking, Alex, a fat man, walked in. This guy actually came to report the same work as Emmerich. Even a director would face such a capitalist executor.
Sometimes, you have to keep your head down, otherwise you won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, when it comes to such a matter, whether it is Emmerich or Alex, they are both the kind of people who can bend and stretch.
Elizabeth greeted Alex with a smile and said, "You're here just in time. This younger brother of mine wants to know about the progress of our movie shooting. You should also give him a class and let him study."
Elizabeth can directly satirize James like this because of her identity. No matter what, she is James' eldest sister. Whether it is sarcasm or attack, James has no better way. With his eldest sister, then
He has no temper.
But others, such as Alex, did not have the courage to talk nonsense here. Therefore, Alex said respectfully: "Miss Elizabeth, what I brought is the progress document this time. I hope
You can take a look."
Anyway, I'm just here to report on my work. Don't try to drag me into the feud between the two of you. Otherwise, if this guy James gets me involved because of this in the future, he will be here every minute.
Hollywood will kill me.
Therefore, Alex was not a fool and would not be fooled. He directly sent the document he brought over. This was a document for Elizabeth to review and approve. Only when Elizabeth approved and signed, Alex could
Be able to get the next amount of money.
Of course, the same is true for Emmerich. If he wants to get the next part of the investment, he needs James to sign and approve it. Otherwise, there is no way he can take a penny from it.
This is also a rule in Hollywood. Everyone follows the rules. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished severely in this case.
Elizabeth did not look at the document first, but glanced at Alex and said: "I didn't expect that, Alex, you are a loyal and honest guy, and you are also a cunning person. It's done, I won't embarrass you anymore.
