Chapter 332: Incredible
In the shot, the girl hangs on Sam like a koala, kissing the man in obsession, and the two slowly fall to the sofa next to them.
"good, this is over," Eric finally shouted after more than four hours, sitting behind the monitor staring at the screen, and everyone present, including the two protagonists who had just gotten up from the couch, breathed a sigh of relief.
Less than four minutes, and there is only one page of footage in the script, it was filmed for four hours, and anyone will inevitably feel anxious in their hearts, but Eric, who should have exploded the most, did not say anything, and of course everyone present did not dare to show impatience, but repeated the scene over and over again.
Eric looked at his watch and said, "Let's get here today, it's late, so I don't need to clean up here for the time being, go back and rest." ”
Before everyone had time to cheer for Mr. Director's thoughtfulness, Eric added, "Don't be late tomorrow." ”
There was a cry all around, but no one dared to complain about anything, after all, they all got enough overtime pay, and Eric definitely had work to do next, much more tired than them.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and by the time Eric and the assistant director had checked the filmed footage 1☆ once, put it in the safe and put it away, more than half an hour had passed.
Filming in Manhattan, New York, has been going on for almost a month, and because Eric has ready-made films in mind to reference, he has always been filming much faster than other Hollywood directors.
It's only been a month, and the filming progress of "Ghost Love" has been completed by two-thirds, and it may only take another ten days of filming. You can seal the mirror. From time to time, news also comes from Los Angeles. The production of the special effects of the film is very smooth, and Eric also watched some of the effects through the video phone.
And "Instinct" filmed in San Francisco is not so smooth, not because of the male and female protagonists, the performances of the two protagonists are very good, but something else, as we all know, San Francisco is a city where gays and lesbians gather in North America, because there is a controversial scene about homosexuality in "Instinct" that was reported by the paparazzi. As a result, there were protests from gay organizations in San Francisco, and even some radicals blocked the filming of the film at one point.
Jeffrey had to contact the San Francisco Police Department for help in person, and these days, "Instinct" has been filmed under the protection of more than fifty police officers throughout the day, for which the crew had to pay a large sponsorship fee to the relevant San Francisco police department.
And Firefly's first film "The Silence of the Lambs", which will be launched in the summer, has been completed for more than a week, and it is said that in order to complete the film as much as possible, the crew had to be divided into three.
By the end of May, the film will be fully post-production, but. Because of the rush work, the cost of less than 20 million has increased to 25 million. Eric hasn't seen a sample yet. But he believes that with the original directed by Jonathan Demmy, and even the two leading actors have not changed much, this film should not be much different from the previous life.
According to the plan, the film will be screened by critics in early June, and the official release date is scheduled for June 8, but Robert Shea has only scheduled 1,500 theaters for the film.
Although Eric knew that this was Robert Shea squeezing resources for his personally led film "Sleeping with the Enemy", Eric didn't say much, it was already very good to be able to put it in the summer file, "The Silence of the Lambs" is an R-rated bloody horror film after all, according to Hollywood conventions, this kind of film is either placed in the Easter schedule or at the end of the summer file, and now it is very lucky to be able to squeeze in the popular summer file, as for 1500 theaters is not a small number of horror films.
In addition to the movie, Eric gradually found that his own affairs gradually increased, not only to worry about the operation of Firefly, but also to Pixar, the digital field and even Cisco, from time to time there are things that he needs to deal with personally.
Although the focus has been on fireflies, Eric has not reduced his attention to these companies, because of sufficient financial support, "Toy Story" has been more than half, the Christmas file at the end of the year may not be able to catch up, but it will definitely be able to catch up with next year's summer file, this version of "Toy Story" is much more exquisite than the one in memory, and a lot of details have been added, and the total length is not 81 minutes in the previous life, but has increased to a more standard 90 minutes, Eric believes that "Toy Story" The appearance of the film industry is sure to surprise the Hollywood film industry.
As for the digital domain, Eric was relieved to hand over to Stan Winston, who only arranged for the company to have a financial director to oversee the financial aspects of the digital domain, and did not interfere with the other aspects.
After the listing in February, Cisco's stock price has soared, although it slowed down after more than a month, but after Cisco's first-quarter profit statement was released, the stock price rose again, and the 70 million US dollars invested by Eric are now worth more than 200 million, and there is no intention of stopping, many investment institutions have begun to regret the transfer of the original share subscription share to Firefly Investment Company.
While paying attention to these things, in recent days, Eric has gradually noticed that the people around him have become a little strange, and occasionally look at him with strange eyes, as if he is planning something, this feeling is very subtle, and he can't tell whether it is his own delusion or not.
For example, today, the crew members are all looking for reasons to take leave, hoping that Eric can end today's filming an hour early, and at the same time saying that they have something to do, if one or two are fine, but everyone is like this, if Eric doesn't realize anything anymore, there will really be a problem with IQ.
Because of the resolute and unanimous demand of everyone, Eric had to make a compromise, anyway, after so many days of tiredness, the film was almost finished, and he planned to comply with public opinion.
However, at the end of the day, Eric still caught the photographer Nichol who wanted to leave: "Nikkor, you sue me, what happened?"
Nichol looked at Eric with a strange expression, as if to remind him, and felt a little incredible, in the face of Eric's questioning, Nichol looked around, saw that many people were looking this way, and quickly shook his head and said: "Eric, I can't say, it will be killed." ”
"If you don't, I'll kill you right now," Eric threatened.
Mr. Photographer craned his neck, looking like he was going to die, he knew what Eric couldn't do with him anyway.
Eric punched Nichol in the chest, "Alright, fuck off, I hope you don't make any trouble for me." ”
"Definitely not, definitely," Nichol smiled and nodded, and after walking a few steps away, after confirming that Eric couldn't hear, Nichol couldn't help but sigh: "It's incredible, it's incredible, this kind of thing can be forgotten, it's worthy of a workaholic." (To be continued......)
