580, indispensable
Glen, the headquarters of the company.
In the luxurious small conference room on the top floor, six middle-aged people sit around a table.
Stephen, Howard, Houghton, Tinney......
A word from any of these six middle-aged men may cause a major earthquake in the United States and even in the world entertainment industry.
These six people are the heads of the six major entertainment groups in the United States, except for Stephen, who is the vice president, the others are all the chairmen in person.
And Columbia, because the chairman is old, the other directors are only shares, and they don't know much about the entertainment industry, so the actual decision-maker has become Vice President Stephen.
"Stephen, this time we gathered all our strength, we also read the script, the classics are definitely classics, but ...... I'm a little puzzled, can Huaxia Shen really shoot the kind of majesty of the script he wrote?" Huo Huayu frowned and asked.
"We all know that if this film shoots the feeling of the script, it is definitely a classic among the classics, and it will leave a heavy mark in the film history of the whole world, and even an unsurpassable existence, but a Chinese director ......" Tini is also a little worried.
Tini was more worried about Shen Qiushan.
The Huaxia amusement park plan has been completely launched, the infrastructure has been completed, various amusement facilities are being assembled, and Tini has also sent people to Tonghai County to find out.
All of Shen Qiushan's ideas have become reality, cafes, specialty hotels, playgrounds in the sea, island resorts, parachute drop-ins, hydro-catapults, water walks on the island......
Each one is unheard of, and all of them fit some classic Chinese movies, most of which were shot by Shen Qiushan himself.
Integrating amusement, appreciation, and vacation, although the Huaxia amusement park has not yet been fully built, Tini has already felt the great challenge and crisis.
"I think that this matter still needs to send some more directors to co-direct, I still don't believe that a Chinese director can control such a big scene......"
Several presidents are not optimistic about Shen Qiushan, not only because he is Chinese, but also because of this film, they are all involved, the classic of the classics, such an opportunity is hard to come by, they don't want their dreams to be shattered.
As filmmakers, they all know in their hearts that a classic film within a classic is a better reflection of the status of an entertainment company than the construction of an iconic high-rise building with billions of dollars.
"It doesn't seem that what we are discussing this time is whether to change Huaxia Shen or not. Stephen knocked on the table with some displeasure.
Questioning Shen Qiushan is questioning his employment decision, and for a president, this kind of questioning is absolutely intolerable.
"There are many people directing, who is the main director? There is no main director, each doing its own thing, do you want a film to have more than a dozen styles? Is that still a classic? I'm afraid it's not even as good as a garbage movie. ”
"Shen Qiushan's style is the style of this film, if he can write such a powerful and charming script, he can grasp the style of the whole movie, and if he is someone else, they can't even write such a script, how can he talk about the style of the movie?"
"And the crew can only have one voice, if everyone has the final say, this HTC movie will take at least three years to shoot and complete, can you wait for three years?"
Stephen didn't have the slightest politeness, and said coldly.
Everyone else was silent, they all knew this truth in their hearts, but they really felt very uncomfortable about letting a Chinese person direct a world-class classic film, because they were Americans, and they hoped that this film that could go down in history would be completely done by Americans.
"Are you still struggling with whether Huaxia Shen is directing? Huaxia Shen has already financed his entry, and now he has more shares in this film than any of our companies. ”
Hearing Stephen's words, the others didn't say much, the original contract had already indicated their respective shares, and if they wanted to squeeze out Shen Qiushan's Shen Entertainment, it was impossible, unless they didn't want this script.
And Shen Qiushan is also very shrewd, he registered the Shen Entertainment branch in the United States in advance, and the employees are also members of the American Film Association, everything is up to standard, and there are no loopholes.
Where did Shen Qiushan know about his layout, which made several bigwigs in the American entertainment industry have a headache and sigh.
Shen Qiushan was busy integrating the crew.
Everyone thinks that the first step in filming a film is to run in the actors, but in fact, this is wrong, the first step that needs to be run in is the crew.
Camera, lighting, sound, radio, drama, assistant director, any link is wrong, and the film cannot be shot normally.
The crew of 10,000 people, there are as many as 50 heads in charge of various departments alone, which is still the top layer, and it does not include the assistant director, otherwise there are more people.
Looking at the dense crowd, Shen Qiushan also had a little big head.
Shen Qiushan is also dressed in an American military uniform, as a director, he can't be a maverick, he has to integrate himself into the crew.
"You may not know me before, I don't know you, I don't know your abilities, but the shooting task is intense, we don't have time to get acquainted with each other, I just want you to know one thing, my requirements must be completed unconditionally, without any delay, otherwise, leave. "Shen Qiushan knows that you don't have to be so polite with foreigners, just say anything directly.
There is no surprise to these leaders, their working environment is straightforward, without any politeness.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Shen Qiushan continued: "Of course, there are some things that you can tell me if you can't decide, but there is one point, it must be recorded in advance, and we can discuss it after the filming task is completed, and when I direct, I am not allowed to disturb anything." “
After a simple lecture, Shen Qiushan directly announced the start-up.
It was also the first time for Shen Qiushan to direct such a large-scale shooting, and he also needed to be familiar with it.
"The first scene of "Beachfront Landing", the first shot, began to ......"
The work of drama management is the same all over the world, after playing the board, the drama affairs retreated, and more than 30 cameras that had been buried by Shen Qiushan's regulations began to work.
The first scene is the big scene.
Dadada!
Dozens of old-fashioned heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the flames from the muzzles of the guns were like fireworks.
The cacophony drowned out all the sounds.
Seeing the red flag waving, the extras standing in the sea immediately shouted and rushed towards the beach.
Bang Bang Bang!
The electronic blood packets kept bursting, and they fell down one by one.
In just a few seconds, there were only about 30 extras left of more than 500 extras.
Everything was like a real war, and the brutality made the photographers' breath shorten, as if they were on the battlefield, and the camera in their hands was the heavy machine gun.
Boom Boom!
On the beach, the buried explosion points were constantly detonated, and pillars of sand rose into the sky, and the sand and dust seemed to cover the sun.
A dummy entity was thrown away along with the explosion point, and the internal organs of the animal were scattered with the dummy flying, plus a large amount of plasma, the entire shooting site instantly stinked and bloody.
Long Shot, Long Shot, Long Shot......
The most difficult thing about shooting war scenes is that most of the whole film is long shots.
Although there are editors, the location of the gunfire and the location of the sand pile will be the biggest failure, and if there is no long shot, these will become goofs and complaints.
Therefore, in order to pursue perfection, in Shen Qiushan's shooting plan, all the shots are long shots, which is a very strict test for the extras and the props team.
"Through the ......" long shot of more than three minutes, these extras have rehearsed more than once, and this time it is a pass without any flaws.
Hearing Shen Qiushan's shout, the entire crew cheered.
The first shooting, the first long shot, was completed perfectly, which means that the crew is running very smoothly.
I have to say that the six major entertainment groups in the United States have really invested heavily this time, although there are many people in the crew, but all of them are leaders in this industry, Shen Qiushan only needs to give an order, and the people below will be completely recruited, and they will surprise Shen Qiushan from time to time.
The crew is operating efficiently, and Stephen has already talked to Shen Qiushan that if a part of the film can be completed in a short time, only more than 20 minutes of promotional video, the six major entertainment groups in the United States will fully support the Oscar nomination.
Shen Qiushan didn't know that Oscar still had such a rule, and he was immediately overjoyed.
This made Shen Qiushan and the entire crew unprecedentedly enthusiastic, Oscar, this represents the highest award.
