Chapter 720: The Producer's Task
Listening to Old Martin's reminder, Gu Xiaofan suddenly shouted in his heart, if this is the case, if the filming plan is delayed, and "The Dark Knight" cannot be filmed before the end of the year, then it will really be a big deal, and cold sweat broke out in the palms of his hands, and asked everyone:
"We are now mobilizing all departments to start designing the world concept in as little time as possible. 【】”
Everyone is looking at me, I look at you, and then shouting one by one: "It should take half a year~" "At least 5 months~!" "I think it's going to take three months to prepare anyway, this film is not ordinary."
Gu Xiaofan paid attention, these people shouted, they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and they wondered in their hearts, what was going on? Do they just want to see other people's jokes?
Everyone shouted, the answer ranged from 2 months to 1 year, Taylor also coughed twice at this time, and waited for everyone to calm down before saying: "Director Gu, with the scene and scale of "Game of Thrones", we need at least half a year to design the concept of world details. ”
Gu Xiaofan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, but Taylor changed his words at this time:
"Luckily, Mr. Jett had already asked us to start working on Game of Thrones seven months ago, and the various departments were already ready to start working on the ......"
When Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, the design had started 7 months ago, and it was arranged by Lao Jet...... Mom, this old man who has just passed away is simply terrible, and he wants to do everything ahead.
Seeing that when Taylor mentioned the name "Mr. Jett", almost all the 300 people in the room showed a look of admiration, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but think in his heart, Old Jett died to make these people so respectful, and the prestige of his life in Warner can be imagined.
At this time, Taylor continued: "However, we have been working together in different departments for the past six months, the architecture department, the costume department, the props department, and the special effects department, all of which are produced separately, and each item has made some design options, but there is no unified style. ”
Saying that, Taylor looked at Gu Xiaofan: "According to the rules, the producer will select these objects and sort out a set of relatively unified and harmonious styles." ”
As soon as Taylor finished speaking, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi were stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads to look at Old Martin, who also looked as a matter of course, and immediately knew that the two had discussed before...
Liu Shishi thought to herself, it seems that they are going to give us a dismount...... It seems that this method should also be arranged by Old Jett, although "Game of Thrones" was given to me to shoot, but is it actually in the hands of Warner?
Knowing that Gu Xiaofan doesn't understand fantasy themes, he still wants to adjust the style of the world, which is clearly a reminder to him that without Warner, you Gu Xiaofan can't do anything......
Liu Shishi thought of this, and hurriedly said: "I look at this matter, we can talk about it in a few days, now let's discuss the selection of actors first......
When Old Martin heard this, he interrupted her with a deep face: "If you don't sort out the world concept of Westeros, how can you choose the right actors?" The style of the work determines the type of actor, do I need to remind you? ”
Old Martin's harsh words made Liu Shishi feel embarrassed, but at the same time, he also realized that he had also said something extremely layman's, which made the people sitting more aware of the details of their side.
"Well, in that case, let's do this now, don't delay any longer."
Everyone looked back, surprised that Gu Xiaofan would say such a thing, this guy is simply ashamed.
And Taylor and Martin both showed a meaningful expression, they originally thought that Gu Xiaofan should admit defeat at this time and honestly hand over the control of the crew, but he didn't expect that he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he wanted to take over and determine the conceptual style of "Game of Thrones" by himself.
Is he really ignorant, or is he being stubborn?
At this time, Taylor glanced at everyone in the audience, coughed dryly, and said:
"Building Props Department, you first take the finished product of the candidate 'Godfather' and carry out the 'Ordination Canon'......"
After finishing speaking, a big fat white man with a beard stood up and shouted directly: "Jack, Andy, go find someone to take out the sample of the 'godfather'." ”
Taylor next to him introduced Gu Xiaofan: "Kyle from the building props department, he designs buildings and furniture for general medieval themes, and he is the top building props master in the industry, and he is the leader behind the scenes of the "Rome" series. ”
Hearing that the architectural props of the famous drama "Rome" in the industry were all in charge of this Kyle, Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi couldn't help but be in awe, the style of the series "Rome" completely restored the scenery of the ancient Roman period, and even surpassed all movies with the same theme.
Warner is indeed full of talent.
At this time, I saw a few white people in the props department, carried a few large boxes out, opened the boxes in front of everyone, and suddenly revealed dozens of radiant metal swords, some of these swords are golden and gorgeous, some are simple and elegant, each shape is different, the style is different, but they are all carved on the hilt of the sword "Winter is coming" the Stark family motto.
Liu Shishi and Gu Xiaofan looked amazed, but they still didn't understand what it meant.
Didn't you say you had to check the concept design of the world? How did you still make a real thing?
"Director Gu, please choose the 'Godfather' and carry out the 'Ordination of the Holy Codex'......" Taylor gestured with his hand, and Old Martin also looked at Gu Xiaofan with scrutinizing eyes.
Gu Xiaofan still didn't understand, although he was reluctant, he still asked Taylor in a low voice:
"What is the 'Ordained Sacred Codex'?"
Taylor had long known that Gu Xiaofan didn't understand, so he deliberately smiled and raised his voice and replied: "'Ordination of the Holy Codex' is actually a ritual of Christian conferment of priesthood, and in our industry, before shooting fantasy works, we need to select a typical item in the work, as a way to determine which period and which style of work the work is imitating, this item will be designated as the 'Godfather', and all other prop buildings must be set up according to its standards, we call it 'Ordained Holy Codex'."
For example, the 'Godfather' in "The Lord of the Rings" is the "Lord of the Rings", and the "Godfather" in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a front-loading flintlock pistol......"
Gu Xiaofan understood it, and to put it bluntly, he set a physical object as the standard for the style of other things, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart
