Chapter 36: You Are the One I Want

Spielberg occasionally has free time and asks Katzenberg how the filming of "The Sixth Sense" is going, but he shakes his head a little bit and can't say, "It's a very weird way to shoot, there aren't many Christmas shots, and I don't like to shoot a lot of experimental shots like some directors like to have wild imagination." ”

"He's weird, no more, no less, just right. It's as if he's really played the movie in his head, and he shoots completely down the plot, not according to the scene. I understand that this way can better bring the actors into the play. But...... It's weird too. I would even have predicted that the editor would have to have a lot of headaches when it came time to edit at the end, because his footage wouldn't have to be edited at all, and even the film would be very, very small, exactly like a rough cut version of the film, and I don't know if that was good or bad. ”

“……”

Spielberg couldn't figure out what he meant, was there a director who made a movie like that? The brain volume is also too large.

"Wouldn't it be cheaper to shoot like this?"

"yes, with his way of shooting, the film won't cost $10 million when it's finished," Katzenberg said. And the investment he asked for 30 million was completely superfluous for this movie, but guess how he explained? ”

"Tell me about it."

He said that he knew that he would use less than 10 million, and the remaining 20 million was all used for movie promotion! Oh my God, a horror film, the publicity budget is actually twice the investment of the film, I really don't know what he was thinking, we shouldn't have signed that contract in the first place. ”

Spielberg laughed instead, "At least it shows that he is not in a coma and knows propaganda." ”

"I hope so."

Katzenberg shook his head, disagreeing, and continued: "It doesn't stop there, the art director has complained to me several times, and his advice has not been taken into account. And including the scenery, props, and artistic atmosphere, Christmas is basically a person's decision. The style of the film is also changing all the time, and the color style is obviously changing in the middle sections, and I want to interrupt him to continue shooting. ”

At this point, he didn't want to go on.

Spielberg agreed to the investment, and now he is shaken about whether it was the right one.

Spielberg also frowned, even at the Oscars, art direction is a very important award, and Americans pay more attention to the artistic atmosphere of the film. It's okay to say that the style of a movie keeps changing, but I'm afraid that the overall artistic atmosphere will go wrong.

For example, if you make people laugh out loud in the middle, even if it's not a bad movie, it will definitely not be a classic.

"Did you talk to him, and how did he explain it?"

"Yes, he explained," Katzenberg said. He said there would be a few more changes in the style of the film after that...... Okay, it's Christmas, I'll let him explain it to you. ”

“……”

Chen Tiandu was a little depressed, but he didn't show that he would discuss it fiercely several times a day, and he was a little used to it, "Director Spielberg, hello." ”

"Hello Christmas."

Spielberg's familiar voice came to his ears, "We care about your films. But Jeffrey seems to have some doubts, and this is also my doubt, can you explain it to me? ”

"Of course."

Chen Tiandu calmed down, organized the language, and explained: "To be precise, it's not that the style of the film will change, the style will not change, what I want to change is the type of film." ”

Spielberg wondered, "What's the difference?" ”

"It's a big difference."

Chen Tiandu said: "You have read the script, my story begins with a thriller movie, and then it will turn again and again." In the early stage, there will be a sense of suspense film, and then it will be transformed into a family conflict film, a eccentric child who refuses to tell the truth to his mother, and communicates the generation gap. In the middle of the game, Cole was frightened by ghosts several times, and even injured because of it, which made her mother very worried, but the saddest thing was that Cole didn't tell her anything. This section will be thrilled and escalated, and the latter part will take a sharp turn to become a warm family film, and lead to the last five minutes of the ** mystery scene. ”

"From the very beginning, I didn't just want to make a simple ghost movie, but a family problem movie. Strange heresies, the ability to see the ghost eyes of the dead, these are just packaging. In my story, adults don't believe in children's ghosts, which is consistent with the blind spot of adults who don't listen to children. Listening to each other, this is an important way to communicate between the two generations, and that's what I'm trying to say. ”

Katzenberg was a little abrupt, "I hope you can do what you say, knowing that it's dangerous to have such a variety of styles in a movie." ”

"At least there haven't been any problems, have you, and Mr. Katzenberg, would you rather listen to the art director's complaints than give me more creative freedom, knowing that I'm the one who knows the whole story best and has the ability to shoot it."

Chen Tiandu defended: "As for the art director, I don't think he understands what I mean. He gave me a full-story thriller and depressing style, which wasn't what I wanted. I know exactly what I'm doing, and I hope you will continue to support me. ”

Spielberg was silent for a long time when he heard this.

……

At the end of the day, Chen Tiandu, Kate, Vin Diesel and Charlize went to a nearby bar for a drink.

"How's it going, you quarreled with the producer again?" Kate asked with concern.

The crew is so big, and there are some things that can't be hidden.

Chen Tiandu shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Not in the future, I persuaded them." ”

The position of art director, he had too little exposure to before. In China's kind of pattern, there is almost no zĂ i, and the director basically has the final say. But in Hollywood, it is a very important position, and the voice is also very important. Don't look at Chen Tiandu's relaxed appearance every day, in fact, the pressure on his shoulders is very high and the shooting is very depressing. As a rookie director, he has a lot of discomfort. If it weren't for the fact that the legal contract in this country is very powerful, and with such a contract as his backing, I am afraid that there will really be a drama of changing directors halfway.

"Hey, don't think about it. Come for a drink. Vin Diesel handed over a glass of wine.

Charlize said, "Christmas, I think you did a great job. You pay a lot of attention to the performances of the actors, which is also very useful for the actors. Regardless of this movie, remember to give me a chance for your next movie. ”

She leaned over with her upper body and looked at Chen Tiandu carefully, as if there was some inexplicable love brewing in her eyes. Kate's eyes narrowed slightly, and she picked up the wine glass and pretended not to see it.

"The next one? Didn't think about it that much? ”

Chen Tiandu leaned back to avoid her a little, leaned on the chair and squinted his eyes slightly and chuckled, his expression was indescribably lazy.

Being able to receive future entertainment information is his greatest capital, even if he can't watch all the movies, he still has a lot of future movie information in his head, as well as those applications on his mobile phone that are not turned on, these will undoubtedly be big events in the IT industry in the future, which is not the capital that can make him easily become a person.

It is said that every industry has the first step that is the most difficult to cross, and this is true. But relying on the relationship between the script and successfully opening up the joints of Dreamworks, he is already directing a movie with an investment of 30 million, which can be said to have taken the most solid first step in his life, and in the future, he is destined to be a man of man.

For a moment, his temperament seemed to have changed somewhat, and Kate and Charlize, who had been observing him, clearly took it into their eyes. It is undeniable that young and talented men are always particularly popular, and the same is true in the film and television industry. The inexplicable love in Charlize's eyes seemed to be a little more, but she hid it well, took a sip of beer, and pretended not to care. Kate gave her a dangerous look.

Chen Tiandu seemed to laugh at himself: "How about the next one, it depends on the results of this one after it is released." If I don't get good grades, I'm afraid I'm going to disappear from Hollywood. ”

Although he said that he was unconfident, his face was full of confidence.
