Chapter 635: Details Determine Success or Failure
Although the intention has been negotiated, it is still very early to shoot.Not to mention other preparations and the like, just the script has not yet been filmed.Jurassic Park is okay to say, Qiao Feng can come up with the script at any time, but since the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins are not ready to shoot Zhang Guoshi's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, it must be a new story, so it is necessary for Spielberg, the director, and Qiao Feng to gather some screenwriters to adapt the script.
That is definitely not something that can be completed overnight, and the sloppiness of the script in Hong Kong is another matter, if you follow the practice of Hollywood, then the script will definitely change its draft several times, and it will not be possible to decide on dozens of drafts in a year or two.
Not to mention that Spielberg is really busy this year, the most recent is the promotion and release of Captain Hook in the summer, and he, the director, is busy participating, and then there is the editing and publicity of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which all need Spielberg's participation.
So, before Spielberg finishes these works, Jinling Thirteen Hairpins and Jurassic Park can't be started.
Of course, the time in between is not to do nothing, at least there is a dispute with Spielberg's director's contract, and it is normal to talk for a few months.
"Lin Qingxia - Today, Oriental Star, Tomorrow, World Star" solo film exhibition was originally intended to be held by the American Film Institute for one day, but in the end, after being sponsored by MGM, it was decided to postpone it for two days, a total of three days.
From Lin Qingxia's first movie from the window to the clouds, to Qiong Yao's play on the water side, and the clouds are deep and nowhere to go, I am a cloud, and then to the transformation works in the early eighties like Chinese female soldiers, the Red Pink Corps.
and even the comedy I love night prime, Xianxia film, Xinshu Mountain Swordsman, action film, fast pistol, fast gunner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and then the latest martial arts masterpiece New Dragon Gate Inn, Lin Qingxia's masterpieces in various periods have all been screened and exhibited at the film festival.'
The three-day film festival not only allowed many Hollywood guest movie stars to have an understanding of Lin Qingxia, but even some of these films, especially action comedies like I Love Night Prime, Kuaishou Quick Gunner, have been favored by some video distributors in North America, who want to buy the copyright to release the videotape.
It can be said that no matter from Lin Qingxia's personal publicity or business, this film festival can be regarded as a great success.
"Let's go, your parents should be in a hurry." This night, the solo film exhibition finally came to an end, Qiao Feng looked at Lin Qingxia, who was still immersed in excitement, and said.
"No, they won't think of my daughter if they have their grandson with them." Lin Qingxia said with some taste.
"Haha, you even eat your son's vinegar." Qiao Feng shook his head amusedly.
"And tell me, you don't even eat the milk for your son." Lin Qingxia replied.
"Eh" Qiao Feng has a black line in his head.
................
After staying with Lin Qingxia and her parents and family for a few days, Qiao Feng set off to the filming location of the Silent Lamb.
The heroine of The Silence of the Lambs is a female agent played by Gong Li, who has a complex personality, she is both sensible, intelligent and ambitious. She is an FBI-trainee agent-in-training. In order to solve a serial murder case, she is ordered to visit the ogre Dr. Hannibal Lecter in an attempt to obtain information from him about the murderer's psychological behavior. After several efforts, she finally finds the hideout of the murderer, Bison Bill, and successfully solves the case.
Anthony Hopkins plays Hannibal, a psychopathic doctor, a middle-aged man with an extremely high IQ, quick thinking, and some psychopaths. He has a horrific penchant for cannibalism. He is calm, calm, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Although the police kept him in a heavily mentally ill prison, they still had to admit that he was beyond ordinary people's psychiatric knowledge, so they sent Clarice to ask him about the case. During their last face-to-face conversation, he gave Clarice information. He then managed to escape from prison by taking advantage of the fact that two police officers brought him dinner.
But the two of them are not the most powerful in the movie, to say that the most powerful is actually the serial killer Buffalo Bill in it, because the image of this character is derived from the three serial killers in reality, the three real psychopathic killers, namely Ed Gain, who likes to skin people, Ted Bundy, who lures the murdered women into the van, and Gary Heidnick, who imprisons the kidnapped women in the cellar.
But it's a pity that this really powerful character is just a supporting role in the movie, and it's just to foil the existence of the female protagonist and the male protagonist.
The Silence of the Lambs has started filming a few years ago, and the ending has been filmed, and the more it reaches the end, the more difficult it is to shoot, because Cheng Gang has a lot of ideas, in addition to the things in the script, he often shoots some of his own sudden ideas, that is, Qiao Feng has enough budget for this movie, and the producer's controlled investment is good enough, so that there can be enough remaining investment to support Cheng Gang to shoot some of his ideas, which is also the condition for Cheng Gang to agree to direct this movie.
The big head is out, and Qiao Feng is too lazy to care about such a small amount of money, anyway, as long as the partner Paramount doesn't say anything, Qiao Feng will let Cheng Gang come.
Shooting a movie for five or six months is basically unimaginable in Hong Kong, but I have to say that there is a reason why Hollywood movies can have such a big box office, in addition to the market is big enough, but also because many of their film details are good enough.
For example, the FBI female detective played by Gong Li found new clues on the body of the newly appeared female corpse, first, the deceased was stripped of two diamond-shaped skins on his back, and second, the deceased had a cocoon the size of a little finger in his throat. According to insect experts, this is a moth that originated in Asia and is known as a "hell insect".
She then continued to search for clues on her own, gradually locating a man named Jaime Gam, who had carried a box of live caterpillars from Suriname at customs and had also been to a transgender center. Clarice finds the residence of "Bison Bill", and she and the killer have a fierce battle in the gloomy basement, and finally Clarice hits Jaime and rescues the senator's daughter.
This cocoon is a very key clue in the clue of the whole movie, and from this cocoon, you can see how meticulous Hollywood is about the movie.
This kind of thing called hell insect in the movie is actually a kind of tobacco moth, which is very favorable, and in order to keep it alive and alive, it is put on the set in the first class cabin of the flight, and the room where the temperature and humidity can be adjusted, and the costume is very beautiful.
And such excitement is just a few times during the shooting, but it cost more than 100,000 US dollars for this alone.
And before filming, Gong Li and some other key cast members also visited the FBI Agent Training Center in Quantico, Virginia, and learned a lot about weapons and special agents.
This may be the details that determine success or failure.
