Morgan, the co-ordinating screenwriter, was obtained by his own strength, not by relationships. Therefore, he still has the ability to do things. Although Jordana also maintains a certain degree of doubts about Fast and Furious, after all,
She is a film actress. Although she has to complete her studies, she still has a professional acting heart in her heart.
Now that she didn't refuse right away, it meant that there was room for negotiation. Therefore, in the end, Jordana was convinced by Morgan. Jordana actually wanted to experience the feeling of being a star. This was not her first time.
He wanted to make movies, but the movies and TV series he shot before didn't bring him much fame. This time it was a Universal movie, so she naturally wanted to give it a try.
Returning to the set, director Rob Cohen immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Have you signed the contract? Well, since the contract has been signed, it's not a big deal. We have finally gathered the main actors.
By the way, how are the preparations for the other supporting actors? Have the venues been arranged?" Morgan said there is no problem, everything has been arranged. In fact, now he is waiting for Ye Ming to find the three people who have gathered together.
You can start filming right now.
But Morgan still hesitated about this issue and said: "Director, Jordana is a student. Although she is said to have some acting experience, does someone like this need to audition? After all, Vin Diesel and Michelle
Sher has already auditioned, so we have no idea what Jordana's acting skills will be like."
Morgan's worries at this time are actually not unreasonable. After all, the role played by Jordana in this matter is a very important supporting role. The protagonist's sister is also a key supporting role in the movie.
Therefore, it is really necessary to carefully consider what kind of actor should perform such a role. Rob Cohen shook his head and said: "Dear Morgan, at this time, you may not know about things outside the crew. We
The crew has been established for a long time. Because Ye Ming has to choose his own role, we have been delaying the official start of filming. The company originally complained about us. Now if the live actors are summoned, we will still
If we don't start the official filming, we will be working against the company.
And auditions, what to do in auditions, the two people Ye Ming found are both very good. As for the third one, as for whether Jordana can have good acting skills and adapt to her own role, I think this has nothing to do with us.
It’s not related. The money is not our own, it’s the money of investors like Ye Ming. If Ye Ming doesn’t care about his own money at a time like this, then there are some problems with a matter like this.
We don’t have to worry about it. Anyway, if the funds are spent, then just look for Ye Ming.
Moreover, the company's top management doesn't want us to wait any longer. If possible, the company requires us to release it during the Christmas period."
At this time, Morgan screamed loudly: "Oh God, what bastard came up with this? Pay attention, the Christmas schedule, my God, it is less than half a year before the Christmas schedule, less than half a year, let us complete it."
There is no problem with shooting, but if we are asked to complete post-production on something like this, then it will be almost impossible.
Although our film is a road movie, we still need to add some special effects at a time like this. These are very difficult things. Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, I think one year is relatively realistic.
Yes, if it takes half a year, then this is basically impossible to achieve."
Movies are not as simple as just shooting. In fact, the post-production of many movies is quite critical, such as some science fiction movies, kung fu movies, and even the Fast and Furious and special effects filmed by Ye Ming.
Lenses are impossible to miss.
If you are talking about a general literary film, it may mean that it does not require so much trouble, and post-production may be simpler, but if it is a road movie like Fast and Furious, the speeding stunts are part of it, but
Some explosion shots cannot make the driver die inside. That requires the help of special effects. And this special effect cannot be done casually. It requires the support of the powerful film industry, and it can only be achieved in Hollywood.
Only a place like this can support special effects like this. Of course, you have to have time to do these special effects. After the filming is completed, it takes half a year to do the special effects. For a movie, this is not slow at all?
But if it is said that for such a problem, the continuous shooting and special effects must be completed within half a year, then such a thing is almost impossible.
Therefore, Morgan is the one who will become more sensitive. He has to be sensitive. The director is naturally responsible for doing special effects, but for the real work, contacting the special effects company, etc., it must be Morgan.
Therefore, he is very clear about this process. After hearing these words from director Rob Cohen, Morgan believed that it could not be completed.
Robert Cohen nodded and said: "Actually, I feel a little embarrassed about some things like this, but the company has already made such a decision. The company needs a beautiful performance to make a year-end summary, so actually it is not
As for our crew alone, I heard from Alexander that all the company's other films have actually been accelerated. Of course, whether the acceleration can be accomplished depends on the crew's efforts, but I think if we are capable of accelerating
If so, it would be better not to go against the company."
I am originally from Universal Company, so if I challenge my company on an issue like this, it would be really crazy. But on an issue like this, no matter what it is,
Said, on this matter, Rob Cohen has decided to speed up.
There will definitely be no problem with the shooting. As long as we step up the pace, there will be no problem in the next half year. But whether the special effects will be successful, Robert Cohen cannot guarantee that there will be no problems with the special effects.
And Morgan said helplessly: "Okay, if you must do it like this, then I will cooperate with you and help you do this well, but you have to pay attention to whether Ye Ming
Would you agree to a one centimeter question like this?
If Ye Ming refuses to agree to such a matter, then I think this matter is definitely impossible to achieve. I won’t tell you about Ye Ming’s influence on the entire crew.
Do I understand better?"
The director naturally understood Ye Ming's influence on the crew, but when it came to such an issue, Rob Cohen was actually quite helpless. He shook his head and said, "We can't control these things. If Ye Ming cooperates with us, maybe it will be
This time, you and I both have to work in the company. Therefore, I won’t say whether to offend Ye Ming or offend the company, but you should be able to know which is more important. Although I think Ye Ming is right
We should maintain a negative attitude towards a matter like this, but when it comes to an issue like this, we have to listen to the company, otherwise if Ye Min leaves after filming the movie, we will be dealt with by the company."
If it is said that offending both parties is unavoidable, then when it comes to an issue like this, one must choose someone who has no interest to offend. For example, this time, although Ye Ming is not easy to offend,
Ye Ming is not from Universal, so even if Robert Cohen feels that he has offended Ye Ming, he thinks this is acceptable in a matter like this.
Seeing how stubborn Rob Cohen was, Morgan could only nodded and said: "Okay, if you insist on doing it this way, then I will cooperate with you. The rest of the supporting actors have already been arranged.
Okay, the contract has been signed, these people have already arrived on the set, and we have agreed on the location in advance. The old rule is to choose a few easier shots to shoot first."
Choosing easier lenses to shoot is something people in the entertainment industry in almost all countries do. After all, new crews and new actors need to get used to each other on such a thing.
It can shoot more smoothly. Therefore, finding a few relatively simple shots will help everyone get used to each other. This is a convention when shooting movies, and it is also what the director chooses to do in order to get a good start.
Although the crew's plan to speed up filming is kept confidential, it also depends on the person. It is impossible for Ye Ming to not know about this matter at all. In fact, Ye Ming is also someone who has known about such a thing for a long time.
Alexander came to talk to Ye Ming in person. It might be most appropriate if the director, Rob Cohen, told Ye Ming about this matter. However, Rob Cohen felt that he had no way to tell Ye Ming about this matter. Therefore, in the end, he had to ask Alexander to take action.
.
Alexander found Ye Ming and exchanged a few words. Who said foreigners are all straight-forward? Alexander is the kind of foreigner who doesn't like to be straight-forward. At least when it comes to a bifidobacterium like this, he talked about it and seemed a little hesitant.
expression.
Seeing this, Mo Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Alexander, if anything happens, you can just leave. There are some issues that we can talk about openly and honestly."
At this time, Alexander breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Okay, Mr. Ye, this matter is actually not decided by me alone, but a matter decided by the entire company and the entire board of directors. You know I
He's just a producer, and he doesn't have that much power to decide this matter.
The company's board of directors means that the company's three recent films should be released during the Christmas period, and even one of the films is required to be released in October at this time. Therefore, you, the Fast and Furious crew,
The company means that the best release time is the Christmas time."
This matter is indeed quite embarrassing. All movies have a fixed production schedule. Even if the preparations are sufficient in the early stage, God will give you face. The crew will have good weather when filming. The wind will get the wind and the rain will get the rain. Everything will go smoothly.
It's incredible, if a movie scheduled for half a year can be filmed one month ahead of schedule, that's a very good result.
If you say three months in advance, it is almost impossible, unless it is cheating, or the rich people spend money to start shooting in several parts at the same time. But making a movie is just to make money. If you mean spending money to increase the speed, then
Why are you still making movies? Moreover, the pre-production can be compressed, and if you want to compress it in the post-production of special effects, it is not an easy task.
After all, it means that for a problem like this, doing special effects is a very troublesome project.
Therefore, before the Christmas schedule was brought forward, Ye Ming said without thinking: "Do you think it is possible? I will not stop this matter. As long as Universal can start doing special effects now, and by the time the crew completes filming, the special effects will also be completed.
Then I think it is not impossible to schedule it for Christmas. But the question is, is Universal willing to invest in this area?"
If you are making a movie and doing special effects at the same time, then it is not impossible to do such a thing. After all, in Hollywood, you may encounter people who have done such a thing by chance, but there are very few special effects.
, simple special effects can be done like this, but big-name special effects like Fast and Furious are not as powerful as the special effects in science fiction movies like Star Wars and Terminator, but at least, the special effects like Fast and Furious are
The special effects scenes in the movie can never be described simply.
Therefore, if you produce special effects while shooting, it is estimated that the cost will be a lot more. According to the current level of special effects production in Hollywood, it will be at least an additional investment of 500 to 8 million. If Universal can do this, it will be willing to add additional investment.
If money is used to do this, then Ye Ming really has no reason to object to such an issue. After all, we are partners, and our goal is actually to make money, not to argue.
But what Ye Ming said, Alexander had nothing to say. If there was additional investment, then, Alexander shook his head and said: "This requires an additional investment of more than 5 million, or at least that much additional investment to achieve success. It is estimated that the company will not be able to
