Chapter Ninety-Three: Password Power On
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Just as the finale party for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was taking place in London, another long-planned and much-anticipated crew finally started filming in Paris.
The crew of "The Da Vinci Code", led by director Christopher Nolan, officially held a kick-off ceremony in Paris, France, at the kick-off ceremony, the leading actors Tom Hanks and Sophie Marceau of course arrived at the press conference, and the main actors such as Jean Reno, who played the police chief, Paul Betany, who played the assassin of the albino, and Ian McKellen, who played the religious knight, were also present.
It can be said that this year, the biggest film opening ceremony of Fire Lion and Columbia Pictures is definitely worthy of its status as an A-level production.
In terms of journalists, in addition to some French journalists, entertainment media from Hollywood and the East Coast still accounted for the majority.
The whole press conference was quite harmonious.
Although Sid had encountered some symbolic boycotts in the UK when filming Harry Potter. But "The Da Vinci Code" has the interests of Sony and Columbia Pictures behind it, and they certainly won't sit idly by and watch the possible tricks of other big studios.
And the other studios did not carry out unnecessary harassment, no possibility and no effect, and needlessly offended Columbia Pictures, such a seven members.
This time, the film version of "The Da Vinci Code" is different from "Harry Potter", which is completely dominated by the fire lion, Sony and the fire lion both sent producers to the crew, and at the same time, Brian Glazer from Sony's side served as the chief producer, supervising the budget, schedule and overseas publicity of the film.
And the fire lion dominates the production of the director and crew, and the two can be described as a division of labor, and as Sid expected, Sony, which is now poor and weak, can be regarded as the best talking big studio in Hollywood.
As long as the quality and potential of the film can be guaranteed, many of the Fire Lion's equal requests have been agreed to by Sony Columbia.
As early as the beginning of the preparations, in order to respond to the strong demand of the fans of "The Da Vinci Code" around the world, Sid agreed to personally serve as the producer, producer and producer of the film to fully supervise the film effect.
But, Sid, who is actually still busy with "Harry Potter", simply has no time to go to the filming set.
And Sid knew Nolan's abilities, so he fully delegated power to him. At the same time, after the shoot starts, he will go through the results of each month's shoot to suggest adjustments.
At the same time, and more importantly, Sid will share the final cutting rights of the film with Sony Columbia.
Anyone who knows the boundaries of power in Hollywood should know that the final cut is arguably the biggest point of contention between studios and directors.
Because for film companies, of course, they want the finished film to be as short as possible, because then they can schedule more shows in a day, which means more profits.
But for directors, of course, they want their films to be better able to "retain artistry", so the competition between the two has not stopped since the invention of editing in the film industry.
In Sid's view, it is actually difficult to define who has the final cutting rights between the film company and the director himself. Because historically, both sides have made mistakes and made wonderful choices.
Among them, the most representative is the theatrical version of "The Lord of the Rings", fans who have watched the extended version of the director of "The Lord of the Rings" should remember that compared with the concise theatrical version, the content added by the extended version is more trivial plot details. If you're interested in taking a closer look, that's a good idea.
But the viewing comfort of the theatrical version of "The Lord of the Rings" is indeed better.
As for the negative textbook, we have to mention the last epic film "Heavenly Dynasty" by the great director Ridley Scott. Because of Fox Films' intervening, the theatrical version that was finally cut into a mess went from an ambitious epic to a chaotic, thin and ridiculously bad movie.
Of course, in the end, Fox himself paid the price of a box office fiasco.
In the editing of "The Da Vinci Code", Sid still decided to follow Nolan's style of the film, and control the smooth viewing experience and excellent narrative skills.
After all, Nolan's directing skills are still there, although this film may become the only film that does not play with narrative structure in Nolan's future. But for Sid and Sony, it's enough to make a good suspense film.
And the first scene of the film was filmed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, and it was very interesting to be able to come to the world-famous Louvre Museum to shoot the world's best suspense movie, whether it was director Nolan or a kind of American, British and French leading actors.
Just when the filming of "The Da Vinci Code" finally started in Paris, the United Kingdom, across the sea, also welcomed a very important guest. Or rather, a peerless beauty who can cause thousands of empty alleys.
"Britney!" "Look here, Britney!"
British reporters and photographers shouted loudly, and Britney Spears, dressed in white jeans and a pink leather coat, also smiled sweetly and waved to the reporters.
In the first half of this year, after the RB trip with Sid.
Since June, Britney has embarked on her global tour. concert, at the same time, the second album "Love Confession Re-Confession Oops... I Did It Again was also released in time, after selling 10 million copies in a year of its debut last year.
This year's second album debut sales are even more popular, not only breaking Whitney Houston's record for the highest sales of a female singer's record in the first week. And at the same time, the second professional world tour can be said to be extremely popular everywhere it goes.
After embarking on the "Confession of Love Again" tour from the East Coast of North America, Britney's group has recovered all of the United States and Canada in just a few months.
Then, starting in October, the seven-week European regional tour finally kicked off.
The first stop is London, England.
Although Sid knew Britney's popularity all over the world as early as in his previous life, and since his own life, he has not encountered some enthusiastic fans asking for autographs and group photos.
But Wembley Stadium, the largest and most famous stadium in the UK, is packed with 90,000 people, with modern vaults soaring into the sky, and a few rays of light that seem to tear the sky apart.
But if there's anything more popular than a towering dome, it's Britney's skyrocketing popularity and the bustling crowd in the concert stadium. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
