Chapter 65: Coming to an End [1/3]
Sorry, I'm late, this is the first and two more!
——
"Eric are you so sure this is a means he used and not really did?" Ron Booth, MGM Buy's manager, looked at Eric Lomis.
Although MGM still holds the title of the eight major companies, everyone knows that MGM's share of the North American film market is declining rapidly.
If it weren't for the huge source library to support MGM's insistence, there was also news within the company that it might be acquired by Sony or Warner.
Today's MGM is terminally ill, and if a new illness is added, it may be completely over.
How could Eric Lomis not know about his old friend's concerns: "I won't mess around, but this time we want a fair chance to compete with Lionsgate."
I've found his contact information in the directors' guild, and I'll be reaching out to him in a few days to get a chance to see the dailies, and if the dailies are exactly what I think they are, I think we can compete with Lionsgate.
Even if we are down now, a small company like Lionsgate is still incomparable, and with good conditions, I believe he will make a clear choice. ”
"But I think we need to keep a low profile, and it's better not to be exposed by the media, which could put us in a passive position. Ron Booth reminded.
If he gets this opportunity, he thinks he can still give it a try.
Eric Lomis nodded: "I understand this, I still believe in his ability, if we can really cooperate it will also be an opportunity for us." ”
Chen Tian didn't know that the two senior executives of MGM had the idea of cooperating with him, and he didn't know that Lionsgate had reservations about his attitude because of this turmoil.
Although the filming of the Sunshine Little Beauty crew was affected for a while, the matter slowly subsided in a few days.
Chen Tian is very satisfied with this situation, this turmoil has brought enough attention, and the temporary calming can buffer the prejudice, and at the same time, the effect of good word-of-mouth will be reflected faster when the movie is released in the end.
"The scenery is really nice and the wind feels very comfortable on the body. ”
Looking at the sea in the distance, the feeling of being endless made the whole person's heart seem to be much more open-minded, and Chen Tian didn't expect that the first time he came to Santa Monica Beach in his life was a work need.
"It's really good, our work is almost over, I really miss the days of more than a month, Justin, it's a pleasure to work with you, if you have the opportunity......"
"Tim, I sure will, but I probably don't need your help for my next film, and if it goes well, I can do it all by myself. ”
"You have a plan for your next film?"
Tim Sushet had an unbelievable look on his face, having worked in the industry for almost two decades, he had never seen a director with such a continuous film plan.
Not to mention excellent directors, many excellent directors only have a film in a year or even two years, and Chen Tian has the potential and ability to become an excellent director in his opinion.
But Chen Tian's filming plan really shocked him, even if Chen Tian was buried alive to the little beauty of the sunshine, it was just a small production.
"Yes, it's a science fiction movie that costs about the same cost as burying it alive. ”
"Sci-fi? It's about the same cost as burying it alive, how is that possible?"
"Tim, how about we make a bet? If I do shoot it, how about you satisfy me as soon as I want your help in the future?" Chen Tian said with a smile, which was a half-joking bet.
Over the past month or so, Chen Tian has gained a deep understanding of Tim Sushet's abilities, although he is not as good as those top photographers, but Tim Sushet has his own insights and learning ability on photography.
Even if he doesn't end up becoming a top photographer, he definitely can't be bad, so that with Wen Ziren, Michael Amter and himself, no matter what, he will ensure that there is a basic core team.
"Justin, I never question your abilities, but this time ......," Tim Sushet shrugged, "If you can really make it, I want to be able to be a part of it, and I will definitely work for you first whenever you come to me in the future." ”
"Tim, are you sure?"
"Of course!"
Tim Sushet said solemnly that if Chen Tian can really do it, then he is also a participant.
This is also a beautiful life memory for him, just like now, he is very fortunate to be able to join the Sunshine Little Beauty crew.
"Tim, you're going to be caught by me. Chen Tian laughed, looked at his watch, held on to the railing and looked at the sea in the distance: "We still have three minutes to rest." ”
"Tim ELS actor to LS to MCU. ”
Chen Tian said into the walkie-talkie, and Tim Sushet, who controlled the camera, made an OK gesture at Chen Tianbi.
As the railcar slids, a pier protruding into the sea appears in the monitor lens.
The camera immediately cuts from a large long shot to a long shot, with Paul Dano, played by his brother Dwyane, and Steve Carell, played by his uncle, also appearing in the camera.
However, they are very small under the use of long shots, so the requirements for the actors' acting skills are not high, as long as they are expressed with their voices.
"Just skip these garbage days, high school life or something. ”
Accompanied by Paul Dano's voice, Tim Sushet immediately cut the camera to the MCU (close-up of the head and shoulders).
Paul Dano's hair is gently blown up in the sea breeze, and Paul Dano's expression in the close-up is very important.
"Do you know Marcel Proust?"
"He's the subject you teach?"
"Yes, French writer, super loser. ”
Chen Tian was particularly satisfied with the performance of his uncle Steve Carell in this paragraph, from the smiling movements to the expressions and lines.
Originally, according to the requirements of this game, Chen Tian should have stopped and entered the next game, but the performance of the two was great, Chen Tian simply did not stop but continued filming.
Steve Carell and Paul Dano were not affected and continued to play well.
"As long as I want to fly, there must be a way, just do what I love best, and the rest. The close-up freezes on Paul Dano's eyes.
"Paul, Steve, I swear I'm in love with you, your faces are amazing!"
Chen Tian shouted at Steve Carell and Paul Dano on the dock with a loudspeaker, causing the crew to laugh.
Ninety-five percent of the shooting was completed in the morning, and the remaining five percent would be done in the afternoon if it went well, but this part was also the most difficult and climaxing part of the whole film.
"CUT!" Chen Tian stopped filming, this is Chloe Moretz's eighth NG, which is the highest record after the start of filming with Little Sunshine Beauty.
Such a small number of NGs is not that Chen Tian does not have high requirements for quality, on the contrary, he has high requirements for shooting, and the reason for the lack of NG is that this group of actors and actresses are full of acting skills.
Chen Tian admires the director of the original film very much in this regard, if it weren't for the reference given by the original film, Chen Tian himself didn't think that he would be able to find so many perfect guys to participate.
Chen Tian didn't expect Chloe Moretz to NG eight times in a row, he felt good before this, but Chen Tian always felt a little worse under the camera.
