Chapter 1184 The person who should be responsible for Bruce Lee's loss
Only those who know how to bow their heads can come out, remember, it is possible, not absolute.
Jack and Dick did a very good job, and Ye Ming didn't deliberately embarrass them, but in the later filming process, he didn't suppress the two of them all the time.
After all, everyone is making a movie, a crew, if Ye Ming directly suppressed the leading actor and another supporting role with his acting skills, then the shot would be impossible to watch.
Therefore, at this time, there is no need for Emmerich to say anything, at this moment, he is just saying that he will rein in his momentum. Therefore, the crew filmed very smoothly, and the required shots were completed in less than a week.
Pack up your things, go back to Hollywood, don't look at the place to shoot is New York, and it means that New York is directly frozen, in fact, there are not many shots actually shot in New York, and most of the scenes, such as in the library or something, are filmed in Hollywood, and a location is directly set up.
Of course, when I go to Hollywood, there is one more thing to do, that is, to report the shooting situation, I received five million, how much was spent, where was it spent, how much was left, and how much was needed for the next shooting, all of which need to be reported to James, the executor.
Although James is not the producer of this movie, but he is the executor, he does not have any name in the movie, but every penny spent by the crew is subject to James's supervision.
Therefore. Although I saw that the crew was lavish when filming, it was all necessary, and Emmerich would not waste a penny more, even if it was a box lunch, it was according to Hollywood's standard box lunch in cold weather.
This is the rule of Hollywood, a boxed lunch. It is necessary to divide it into various states, morning, noon and evening, needless to say, there is also supper, and more importantly, it is necessary to divide what to eat all year round, the crew is in a cold area, in the hot tropics, the standard of this box lunch is different.
Strictly so that the lunch boxes are to be distinguished, therefore. Hollywood crews are only able to calculate how much budget they need before shooting.
In Hollywood, a crew can even calculate how many screws to use and how many screws to prepare. In a place like Hollywood, once a plan is made, it is rarely modified, and it is generally implemented according to the original plan.
Of course, if it is said that there is force majeure, then Coppola's modern apocalypse, for example, encounters various problems and accidents such as weather, disease, etc. As a result, the final cost remains high. And this kind of thing is something that ordinary directors will try their best to avoid. Regularly report the results of consumption to the executor, and this method is also an important factor in urging yourself to shoot carefully.
And this time, in the villa, Emmerich not only met James, but also met Elizabeth, the two sisters and brothers in the villa at the same time. This is a very rare thing.
After all, it is said that this villa, under normal circumstances, Murdoch rarely comes, let alone James drinks Elizabeth, but this time for his own crew. The two of them were able to appear in the villa at the same time, and naturally they were carefully served by the people in the villa.
Seeing Emmerich coming, at this moment, Elizabeth didn't even look at it, snorted and looked at her younger brother and said: "James, I heard that your crew has spent a lot of money recently, a location, it actually said that you are going to Duluth, why don't you go to Alaska, it's colder there." ”
This was a tactic of Elizabeth, who was very upset that her father gave her brother more money and not so much to herself, so it was always ironic to find an opportunity.
At this time, James said with a nonchalant look: "Don't say it, 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, I originally wanted the crew to shoot some shots in the Arctic Circle, but now I can only buy some shots of the Arctic Circle." The director told me that if the Arctic Circle was filmed, it would be too late in time. ”
This purchase of copyright is also very normal, maybe it is not very popular in the domestic entertainment industry, but in foreign countries, let alone a shot, even if it is a photo, the copyright is strictly protected.
For example, some movies need Australia, Hawaii, or some scenic spots such as Huaxia and Ah San, in the past, some small crews did not have enough money, so they could only buy copyrights.
This is a very common thing in some Hollywood movies, especially in some low-budget movies.
And Elizabeth is obviously unwilling to accept such an explanation: "Waste, in Hollywood, it is completely possible to shoot, but at this time, I went to Duluth, wasted, the money my father gave you, but I didn't let you waste it." ”
James smiled and said, "Elizabeth, you know 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 unwilling to get involved in this kind of wealthy family grievances, even if Elizabeth is not liked by Murdoch and is not considered a candidate for heir, but at this time, after all, it is a father-daughter relationship, and it is normal for the old man to think of his daughter one day and directly use Elizabeth.
But at this time, James and himself were also on the same front and waiting for people, so Ye Ming, who was sitting on the side, narrowed his eyes, radiated a deep look and said: "Sense of lens, such a thing is about the sense of lens, the lens shot indoors, although it can be close to the real feeling under the current high-tech situation, but after all, there is a gap with the real lens." Especially the shots about the weather, this kind of lens is very special, and the artificial and natural are basically obvious to the connoisseur at a glance.
If it's an indoor lens, it's almost not that different. ”
James immediately laughed, as if to say that he had been victorious, and said, "Elizabeth, my dear eldest sister. You know, it's the sense of the camera, the sense of the camera, if you don't know, learn more, don't always care about the mentally ill. ”
This is an irony, Matthew Freud is a psychiatrist, not a mental patient, but obviously, James's goal is also very obvious. That is to say, in such a situation, the mentally ill person is directly replaced by Matthew Freud.
This is actually a kind of irony for his eldest sister's concubine.
Elizabeth was furious: "James, are you looking for death?"
This is the eldest sister's fault, it doesn't matter if it's Elizabeth's tendons, it's okay if she is carried away by love, sister and brother, it's not like this, even if she wants to take revenge on James. But in one such case, by some other means. If you stumble on James, that's normal.
Directly threatening his brother in this matter, and being a brother with a very high status in News Corporation, it is obvious that this does not help Elizabeth at all, but instead gives people the impression of having no scheming.
But that's what she did. Directly threaten his brother.。 Obviously, James doesn't take the threat of his sister to heart at all, which is why James has always thought that his eldest sister is like a sister, and sometimes women are unreasonable, that is, unreasonable. There is nothing to say.
James obviously didn't seem to have been threatened by this kind of life for the first time, so he smiled and said, "Big sister, please, now is not the time to threaten me, it's what kind of way your movie has become."
It's a big star, Wellsmith, who was invited, but if the filming schedule is not enough, it will also affect the scheduled schedule, do you think your father will change the schedule for you casually?"
Although the forecast of this schedule cannot be very accurate, there is always an approximate time no matter what, generally the schedule prediction of a movie in Hollywood is plus or minus in ten days, and science fiction movies, because of the uncertainty of technical production, the general schedule error is about one month, but it will definitely not differ by one quarter.
Therefore, the approximate budget will come out and when it will be released, whether it will be in the summer vacation or Christmas, which will have a very big impact on the box office of the film.
Therefore, if the schedule is changed, it is also a relatively difficult thing.
Speaking of films, Elizabeth's professional mind immediately cleared up. I have to say that Murdoch's genetics are still quite powerful, even if it is an emotional woman like Elizabeth, but once it comes to business things, it will immediately become very powerful.
Therefore, at this time, Elizabeth immediately said: "Naturally, there is no problem with the movie, but I invited Alex, a master in this area, who has directed movies such as [Soul of Air] [Crow] and "Aurora Chase Order", and is quite a skilled director, and he is also quite good at grasping the details. ”
Alex, this director may sound relatively unfamiliar to domestic audiences, but in fact, Hollywood directors sound relatively unfamiliar to domestic people unless they are a few big-name directors. But this Alex should be an exception, because the starring role of [Crow] he filmed is Li Guohao, and Li Guohao's father is a monument in the history of world cinema.
Because this person is not Bruce Lee, who is known as a kung fu superstar common to both Chinese and Westerners. Li Guohao died under the prop gun because of an accident when there were only eight days left before the filming of the movie "Crow" was completed.
Some people say it's a coincidence, some people say it's a curse, anyway, it happened, and then Alex used some high-tech means to complete the post-production shooting of [Raven].
Alex, at least in making science fiction films, is a relatively powerful director.
Elizabeth said with great interest: "When our film is finished, it will definitely cause a sensation. ”
Just when Elizabeth wanted to continue, Alex, the fat man, walked in, this guy is actually the same as Emmerich to report to work, even if he is a director, when facing this kind of executor of capitalists, he must bow his head, otherwise it is impossible to mix in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, in such a thing, whether it is Emmerich or Alex, they are the kind of people who can bend and stretch anyway.
Elizabeth greeted Alex with a smile and said, "You're here just in time, my brother is just trying to find out about the progress of our filming, and you can also give him a lesson so that he can study." ”
Elizabeth can directly satirize James like this, that's because where is her identity, no matter what, she is James's eldest sister, whether it is sarcasm or blow, James has no better way, and his eldest sister, that is no temper.
But others, such as Alex, don't have the courage to talk nonsense here, so Alex said very respectfully: "Miss Elizabeth, I have brought the progress document this time, I hope you can see it." ”
Anyway, I'm here to report work, you guys are grounded in the grievances and grievances between the two people, don't want to pull me in, otherwise, if James and this guy involve me because of this, he will destroy me in Hollywood in that minute.
Therefore, Alex is not a fool, so he will not be fooled, and directly sent the document he brought, which is a document that Elizabeth has to approve of. Only if Elizabeth approved the signature, Alex would have been able to get the next money.
Of course, Emmerich is the same thing, he wants to get the next part of the investment, and it is also for James to sign and approve, otherwise, don't want to take a penny from here.
This is also a rule in Hollywood, everyone follows the rules, and if anyone violates the rules, they will be cleaned up in this epoxy automatic case.
Elizabeth didn't look at the document first, but glanced at Alex and said, "I didn't expect it, Alex, you guy looks loyal and honest, and you're also the first one to slippery, it's done, I won't embarrass you." (To be continued.) )
