Chapter 617: Trailer (1)
Taking advantage of the negotiation with Andrew, Leila escaped from her mother's clutches. To be precise, it was on the pretext of work that Osvid, who did not want his granddaughter to marry, to arrest people back to New York.
Although she didn't have to be pierced by her mother's magic voice for the time being, she kept talking about the marriage date, but she still took this matter to heart. Anyway, if she wants a marriage leave, she, the boss, must end all the work at hand in a planned way.
She counted the work in hand, not that she didn't know, and she was shocked when she calculated.
Needless to say, the next Golden Globe Awards and Oscars will be followed, followed by the filming of "Blood Diamond", and the "Dark Knight" to be released in the summer will be planned in the middle. In August, she will take Roy to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and then hopes to see some of the projects she is interested in.
According to her calculations, it is unlikely that "Blood Diamond" will be filmed for more than six months. Because it needs to be filmed abroad, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to coordinate, and it is not very safe there, so some protective measures need to be arranged. She didn't want her crew to make headlines all over the world because of an accident.
If she wants to make it to the awards season between the end of the year and next year, she will have to shoot all the footage for the film by October. In the later stage, those basic needs to be done while filming, so that it is possible to be released before the end of the year to catch up with next year's Oscars.
And in order to impact the awards, she will start to be active after the movie is released. If you don't increase publicity, who can guarantee that thousands of judges will know that such a movie exists?
In this way, does she have no time until next year's Oscars?
Thinking of these arrangements, even Layla's heart was a little empty. It seems that she is really sorry for Roy once, even if she really wins the award this time, I am afraid that she will not be able to squeeze out time to prepare for the wedding. It's not that she doesn't want to, it's just that she didn't have time to prepare.
No, I just came back from vacation, and I signed Andrew on the first day of work, and the next day I was approached by director Nolan.
"Seeing that the summer file is about to be released, the trailer should be taken out, right?" As soon as he entered the office, he directly said his intention to come this time, without any guilt.
Leila was stunned by his rightly cheeky face: "Isn't it okay to have you in the trailer?" How can he say that he is also a future director, is it really good to push the trailer to others in order to be lazy? If she remembers correctly, he doesn't seem to have much work lately, why can't he edit the trailer?
"I'm not as good as you. can get good ones, who will take defective products out to fool people. "Nolan doesn't say this with a lot of momentum. If you don't know that he is also an assistant director, and he is still a very powerful director, you will definitely feel how reasonable he is. But others don't know that he himself should know, in the crew, isn't his rights less than Leila's?
At least there are few people in the whole crew who dare to be dishonest in front of her, and he dares to pester her for a long time for a shot.
But he's not talking nonsense either.
Either he can't cut it, or the cut out doesn't satisfy him.
If you look at the trailer of the previous movie, you can see that after the trailer was released, the only thing that attracted attention was some Batman fans. That's not what a trailer should do, the role of a real trailer is to let more people know about this movie, and there will be people who want to buy movie tickets to watch it. Rather than just getting the attention of those who want to see it in the first place.
At this point, there is no doubt that Leila has done a good job. Look at her previous movie trailers, almost every appearance causes a craze. Of course, there is a role for her huge fan base, and it is inseparable from the effect she edits.
Don't forget, although this legendary director has not yet won a golden man for best director, he has won an award for best editing for his creative editing techniques!
From this alone, you can know that when it comes to editing, Leila has what can be said to be the most advanced technique in the world. And judging from the popularity of each of her films, in addition to her excellent directing ability, her editing ability also adds a lot to her films.
Yes, he can indeed make a trailer of tens of seconds to minutes, but he can also use such a good excuse to come to Laila and see how she makes the trailer.
"You won......" Looking at the face of "I'm just like that, you can do it yourself", what else can Leila say? Reason with him, he will tell you about ability. Tell him about his ability, and he will play tricks on you. There is time to be more serious with him, and a trailer is cut out.
So she didn't bother to say anything more, so she just agreed.
Besides, Nolan is already her director, so it's not a big deal to teach him any skills. Even if she doesn't say it, give the outside world a period of research, and sooner or later she will understand. Look at those new directors, don't they also use her works when they study movies?
As far as she knows, even the directing departments of some relevant universities have opened some courses on the appreciation of her films. When she heard the news for the first time, she was taken aback, and the thought of being studied over and over again, just like her in her previous life, really made her blush a little.
"When it comes to trailers, first of all, we need to understand what the audience wants from your trailer. When he asked, Leila explained to him without concealment.
"There are generally two kinds of people who pay attention to trailers first, one is people who pay attention to the content of the movie, such as comic fans, book fans, etc., and the other is fans of directors or actors, who are interested in movies because they like someone. ”
Nolan took out his notes, sat down across from her, and asked as he recorded, "How can you make the trailer attract more people?"
Leila laughed, "This can't be rushed. You can't throw away the watermelon and pick sesame seeds. Don't you think that the people who are already following the movie are more likely to bring in the box office than other people who are attracted to the movie because of the movie trailer?"
"So you mean, the trailer is still going to be about attracting them?" Nolan thinks her statement is a bit of a reversal of his previous understanding, he has always thought that the trailer is more important to attract more people to the movie theater who didn't plan to see the movie in the first place.
Leila nodded, "So to speak. You have to get your hands on the box office that you can get easily, and then you have to look forward to more. ”
Nolan asked thoughtfully, "What should I do?" At the same time, he also thought to himself what to do if it was him.
