Century City, the newly built Death Star Building, the entire seventh floor of the building, was rented by Relativity Entertainment as the location of the group company's post-production studio.

In the past, all the films produced by Relativity Entertainment were post-produced in Warner Studios, and the post-production studio of Warner Bros. was rented, but this was not a long-term solution.

With the development of Relativity Entertainment, it will inevitably touch the cake of traditional forces, and the contradictions will gradually become prominent, and the rating of the rating committee is only one aspect, such as in film shooting and production, the six major companies also have a lot of restrictions to restrict.

In terms of filming, it is good to say that there is no need to establish an independent filming studio in Los Angeles, and now the globalization trend of Hollywood crews is obvious, and various preferential tax policies from other places are emerging in endlessly, and it is impossible for the crew to stay in Los Angeles for a long time to shoot, and it will only be diverted to North America and even the world in the future.

Even commercial films with slightly larger investment will become the norm to go to more than a dozen countries for filming and shooting.

But post-production is different, you need to bring together a lot of forces such as special effects, sound effects, art and editing, and you have to find a stable and familiar location.

At present, Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. can be said to cooperate closely, and no one can guarantee that they will continue to cooperate in the future.

If Warner Bros. and everything else have problems with post-production, Relativity Entertainment is in trouble.

Moreover, Warner Bros.'s post-production studio has been established for many years, and the equipment is relatively old, and it is somewhat unable to keep up with the development of the times.

Digital technology is the future development trend of the film industry, especially large-scale commercial films, which must be applied to digital technology in an all-round way.

Shahai Entertainment has the funds and connections, and began to plan to establish a post-production studio half a year ago, and leased a whole floor of office buildings in the just-completed Death Star Building in October, and from the end of November, the equipment was put in place to debug and recruit and hunt suitable personnel, and the first studio began to operate in early December.

According to the plan, when the post-production studio is fully completed, it will have the ability to have four to six crews of different sizes working on post-production at the same time.

Of course, there is only one post-production room that can be put into work today, but it also involves more than a dozen types of work and production.

The post-production of the "Survival in the Wild" crew was relatively less complicated than that of the film, and more about editing and adjusting the pictures, so it became the first crew to move into the studio.

Ronan met with Bell Grylls and some of the crew's main creative staff involved in post-production in the post-production room.

"Good work. ”

In the post-editing room, Ronan shook hands with Bell Grylls: "Compared to the last time we met, I was darker, thinner, and more energetic." ”

Bell laughs, "After spending this time in the wilderness, it feels like coming home. He shrugged: "Ronan, you made me realize the essence of life, a life without adventure and excitement, is it still life?"

Ronan said seriously: "Don't worry, this adventure is just the beginning, we will cooperate in the second and third seasons in the future." ”

Bell is also a nimble man: "I dreamed of it. ”

He felt that all the activities he had done before had gone the wrong way, and this show was obviously more suitable for him.

Entering that treacherous wilderness, with adequate logistical support, Bell Grylls felt like a fish back in the water.

Years of training, learning and accumulation have all come in handy.

Compared to that, kayaking across the Atlantic is too dull.

The two chatted for a while, and the conversation quickly turned to the post-production of Survival in the Wild.

"Survival in the Wilderness is different from previous wilderness survival reality shows. Bear Grylls is not only the host, but also one of the producers of the show, and he said to Ronan: "From the filming to the production, we strive to be realistic, and the post-production does not need to add any special effects, but it is still based on simple editing and highlighting practicality." ”

Ronan agreed with Bell Grylls and said, "Yes. Since I'll leave the post-production to you, you can do it boldly. ”

Bell Grylls added: "In the first season, I will focus on eating ...... To be precise, it's the search for food, which accentuates the lens and knowledge of this area. Eating slugs, snake eggs, and all kinds of insects raw may seem disgusting, but it is very practical, and in the wilderness, survival is the most important thing, and everything else can be put aside. ”

Ronan instantly thought of a few words, "Pinch off your head and you can eat", "Crunchy chicken flavor"......

"I've got a very clear idea of how to edit and all the episodes will stick to one theme. Bell Grylls is also trying to win Ronan's support as much as possible, wanting the show to go its own way: "In the wilderness, taking the wrong path can end up struggling to survive, and even those with rich travel experience can get lost, trapped, lose their sense of direction, and even face a fatal crisis." In these situations, how do we get out of this situation, and how do we survive?"

Ronan nodded slightly, feeling that Bell Grylls hadn't finished his words, so he didn't interject.

Bell Grylls continued: "As such, the show will put itself in the shoes of stranded visitors on how to survive in the most treacherous of environments. ”

"No problem. Ronan quickly decided: "Bell, just do it your way." ”

Bear Grylls breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and asked, "Is there anything else I need to be aware of?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "You're going to have to finish all the post-production by June next year." In addition, go to the Netflix website to register an account, and share pictures, videos and knowledge of wilderness adventures through Netflix, and then professional propagandists will come to cooperate with you, and we will build you into an all-round wilderness survival expert. ”

Bear Grylls is the answer: "I'm actually a wilderness survival expert. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Pay attention to rest, don't get tired, we still have a long time to work together." ”

"The wild can't break me. Bell Grylls laughed: "These jobs can't break me." ”

Ronan talked to Bell about other things in post-production, and after ten minutes, he left the editing room and went to the other supporting studios.

All the equipment in the studio is up-to-date, and the total cost of personnel plus venue costs and equipment is nearly 10 million US dollars.

Follow-up construction is still ongoing, and Relativity Entertainment will have a post-production studio that matches the company's development.

As for "Survival in the Wilderness", this is a variety show carefully prepared by Ronan for Netflix's streaming business next year, and it will definitely be logged in directly to the Netflix website after Netflix's streaming business is listed.

When Ronan went downstairs, George Clint, who had come here to check on the progress of the work, followed.

Descending to the hall on the first floor, Ronan observed for a moment and said, "It seems that there are very few people. ”

George Clint replied: "The building has just been occupied, the leasing process began in October, and it seems that we are the only company occupying it at the moment. He pointed to it: "Although the economy is recovering, but the pressure on the survival of enterprises is extremely high, this is Century City, the rent is not cheap, and there will not be too many companies to rent offices here in a short period of time." ”

Ronan took a look at the high-end decoration and said, "Is there a well-known company interested in moving here?"

George Clint thought for a moment and said: "CAA intends to buy out this building at one time a few months ago, but CAA's revenue is here, and it is only just hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and this building is too luxurious for them for the time being, and the offer price of nearly $500 million is not acceptable to CAA." ”

The Death Star Tower occupies a large area, but like most buildings in Los Angeles, it is not very tall due to its location on the San Andres Fault, with only a dozen floors.

Skyscrapers are relatively few in Los Angeles.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "George, you can have someone collect information about this mansion and its current owner, and pass it on to me before the New Year." ”

George Clint responded, "Okay. ”

The two walked out of the building together, and Ronan asked again, "How's the Prison Break going over there?"

George Clint said: "Dwayne Johnson has been on the group, he signed a three-season contract with us, and I wanted to sign him for three more films, but Dwayne Johnson refused to sign anything without knowing exactly what the movie was going to take. ”

Ronan said, "Don't worry, we're not the same as before. While we need to do everything possible to reduce costs, we also have the money to afford big stars. ”

George Clint is confident: "I will fight for one more film with Dwayne Johnson and his agent." ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the Fast and Furious series that you bought from Universal Pictures?"

"I've seen it. George Clint said: "Two big hits in a row, but the second part is clearly not as good as the first. ”

Ronan and George Clint didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I'm going to shoot this series, and I need an absolute tough guy actor to join, Dwayne Johnson is good, you can talk to him about this project." ”

"Serialized films?" George Clint thought to himself: "Now that I have a project, I'm going to talk to them on that basis and try to get Dwayne Johnson to sign a few more film contracts." ”

Ronan advised: "Don't ignore the Prison Break project, it must be completed by the second half of next year." ”

George Clint assured: "Absolutely on time." ”

Ronan changed the subject: "We only have one movie left this year, and the premiere is next week, you get in touch and find more people to attend the premiere." ”

George Clint said, "Leave it to me. ”

Relativity Entertainment's 2003 film release plan came to an end, leaving only Will Smith and Charlize Theron's "Enemy of Love" unreleased.
