Chapter 384: "Quick Knife Hand" and "Workaholic"
Filming seems to have just begun, but a qiÄ has already entered the end.
It is only the first time Peck has come to the crew for the first time since filming, but he came to inquire about the release date.
"Boss, you have to give me an exact time when it will be done. And the Christmas file will be released, to be honest, it is not a wise choice. ā
Before Chen Tiandu could speak, Kong Yiji immediately exclaimed, "When will it be completed?" Peck, you're saying that it's redundant. I can sue you, in less than five days, this drama will be finished. When Peck heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he made a fuss and said, "Five days, you didn't lie to me?!" Oh my God, it seems that it hasn't been long since the hype and hot casting for a while, and now others still think that it has just started, but it has already entered the finale stage?! ā
Chen Tiandu ignored their surprised eyes and asked, "You just said that the Christmas file is not suitable, did you get the release schedule for the second half of the year?" ā
Peck came prepared, naturally well prepared, and handed over to him the screening schedule for the entire North America from the second half of this year to the summer of next year. Chen Tiandu didn't have the heart to look at the movies that he didn't have the slightest impression of, and turned directly to the Christmas file, "Wow, it's really shameless." ā
No one wants to let go of the Christmas stalls, but after seeing the behemoths of "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings", 80% of companies will choose to avoid the edge for the time being. Only those ~ small production companies that are forced to release helplessly will confront them head-on.
The whole November of 2002 was basically the world of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Entering December, it is about to usher in the release of "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers". Oh. Almost ignored "007: Who Fights". This is the last time veteran movie star Piers Brosnan will be real to James Bond. Even if you know in advance that he doesn't shine in the entire 007 series, no one in this world will ignore 007.
Frowning, he found it a bit difficult to choose.
Pick up the pen and draw a circle in the fourth week of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and the third week of "007 Who Fights", that is, on December 1. In fact, this date is not optimistic, and the sequel to the crime and comedy "The Boss Flashes", which once created a box office miracle in 1999, will premiere, and a Spanish-language film "Black Gold Empire", which is said to have a good reputation, will also come to steal the market......
And next week, there will also be "Star Trek: Nemesis" released, and then "The Lord of the Rings 2".
Close the information. said: "It's scheduled to be released on December 1, and the premiere is scheduled a day in advance." Peck, a little more PR, the two movies released at the same time may not be as good as us, so we have to seize the opportunity, if we can arrange at least 3,000 theaters, that will be the biggest victory. ā
Peck bared his teeth suddenly, "Boss, why don't you just kill me." Those theater operators are going to drain my blood. ā
Chen Tiandu smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can." The Matrix brought them so much profit. There's no reason why my films can't be as good as others. If it's really hard to do. The condition can also be floated a bit. Depending on the attendance, if "Black Gold Empire" and "Boss Pull Over 2" can't achieve the effect. We're going to take down their theaters. ā
This request is very rude, especially when the time is so close. After all, the United States is not China, and it can be inserted into the movie at any time to be released. Fortunately, Chen Tiandu has raised the theater operators over the years, even if this is a small production, it should be treated like a big director.
"Well, we're getting the most attention again. Just let them see how the movie about the little girl's pregnancy should be made. ā
If you take the attention and expectation to remove the cost, then "Juno" is at the top. This is also Chen Tiandu. It's not the first time Chen Tiandu has been competing in the brutal Christmas schedule, and with a bunch of blockbusters of all genres in the making, he has to attract enough eyeballs for his little film. That's why before filming started, cheekily under the banner of "Batman", he also had to recruit a bunch of big names to come in to play the show.
Now there is a "Star Wars Queen", a "Savage Princess", and a new generation of "Bruce Wayne", and it is an unprecedented teenage pregnancy theme...... Well, it's time to be content.
The release date is confirmed, so it is natural that the publicity plan must keep pace with the times. A movie does not mean that everything will be fine after it is completed, and in the entire film project, it is only one-third completed.
Movies are never a one-person thing.
Everyone performs their duties, and whoever leaves will become difficult.
Chen Tiandu is also glad that he can really lay a foundation in Hollywood, which is surrounded by wolves. He never thought that he could be compared to the Hollywood Seven, and he couldn't become the Hollywood Seven now, and he couldn't do it in the future. As he gets bigger and bigger, the ensuing repression will get stronger and stronger. DreamWorks can be compared to the current matrix scenery, but what is his final ending?
Chen Tiandu also takes this as a warning every time, and his interests are shared with many bigwigs, and they have a good relationship with each other.
But it is precisely the logistics of "Matrix" that can make his thinking change so smoothly into a movie and appear on the big screen.
And Chen Tiandu's attitude is: "Do a good job in movies, do a good job in publicity, do your own work, and let the audience decide the rest." ā
Now that the release has been set, filming is naturally easier.
However, after the news spread, the filming of the crew was no longer quiet, and even the media in Toronto heard about it. Some of them are to get a closer look at the Star Wars Queen, see Christmas Chan, and if you're lucky, you can chat with "Neo" and get autographs and group photos.
"Man, I seem to see Anne Hathaway...... I love her in "The Princess Diaries", I think she is Audrey Hepburn alive. ā
"Oh, please, she has so many mouths, where is the slightest hint of Audrey Hepburn's face."
"Why is Christian here, and what role does he play?"
"What an idiot, he's playing Batman."
"Batman? Hey man, who's the idiot among us. This is an urban campus movie, does it have anything to do with Batman? Could it be a spoof? ā
As soon as his words came out. A circle of people around him looked sideways at him. They distanced themselves from him.
"Obviously, you're an idiot. Idiot, it's been a long time since you've been on the Internet, and you're about to lose touch with society. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
The preparations were finally completed, and Chen Tiandu picked up the guide tube and shouted loudly, "Clear the field, clear the field, please leave the scene." It's time to start shooting. ā
"Nat, fight for it all over again, these boys are too much of a headache. It took half an hour to clear the site. ā
Natalie, who was impatient in the morning, dragged her big belly very funny and urged: "Hurry up and start, long-winded director, my amniotic water is about to break." ā
"Haha, catch it, don't miss it." Anne Hathaway, who was on the side, also played, and took it with both hands under her crotch, as if she really wanted to use the leaked amniotic fluid. But Natalie didn't care about opening her legs wide. "I missed a lot, I can cook a bowl of winter melon soup."
It's a pity that the belly is too big. You can't see the surface of your feet at all.
Anne Hathaway couldn't help but laugh, "I think it's a little bit close, and a little more leakage is just right." ā
Chen Tiandu was very speechless, he had been depressed by these two undisciplined women, and shouted very happily: "Get ready to take the position, start!" ā
The well-prepared Natalie is the most reassuring person for Chen Tiandu, as long as it is not too far-fetched, Chen Tiandu generally rarely shouts ng because of her performance, so this one is the same.
At this time, Chen Tiandu clapped his hands vigorously, picked up the loudspeaker and said to the audience: "It was good just now, but let's do it again." Nat, this time the range of action is a little smaller, you are a lively pregnant woman. It's lively even if you're pregnant, but it's always pregnant, so let's try another effect. The makeup artist touched up her makeup again, and the baby in her belly was about to fall off. ā
It's all very good, in fact, you don't need to reshoot it, he just does it to test the best effect, which is convenient for post-editing.
The filming continued, but as the plot progressed little by little, even Natalie and Annie, who had always been optimistic, noticed it. Anne suddenly made a fuss and said, "Oh my God, it's almost finished, I can't believe it." ā
Natalie pouted, "You're just realizing it, the fast knife hand is really not called for nothing." ā
Anne's eyes widened and looked at the little script content left, "Although I am very tired of filming every day, and I keep spending time in ng and good, but now I am a little reluctant to finish it so quickly." Nat, did you find out? ā
"What?"
"We are already very tired from filming every day, but Chen has to be responsible for all the work. He arrives earlier and leaves work later than we do every day. ā
Natalie pouted again, "He's definitely a workaholic, I've never seen anyone who takes the crew as much as he does." Christian on the side happened to hear their strange conversation and said with a smile: "If it weren't for his heartfelt love for movies, Chen wouldn't have been able to be reconciled." Perhaps this is the secret of his repeated success. ā
Winslet leaned over as well, "Hey, what are you talking about?" ā
Anne laughed, "We're talking about the director, Winslet, what do you think of the nicknames 'Quick Knifeman' and 'Workaholic'?" ā
Winslet wondered, "What do you think?" Isn't this Chen, is there anyone else? ā
The three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time burst into laughter: "Haha." ā
"Sure enough, his two nicknames have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
The crew's finale came as scheduled, even Christian and Winslet, who had already finished early, did not leave the crew, but waited for everyone to celebrate together after today's finale.
What's more, the original purpose of their joining the group was not for this little movie. Having a good relationship with Chen Tiandu is obviously more important than "Juno".
When Chen Tiandu shouted "finish" loudly, everyone applauded together. Then the stars took a group photo with the crew to commemorate the 25 days spent together. After returning to Toronto, Chen Tiandu chartered the largest bar and held a finale banquet for the crew.
"It's fast!"
"The media would never have imagined that we were done."
Several of the main creators' wine glasses touched together, Chen Tiandu looked at them, and said, "Natalie, Annie, Christian, Winslet, I'm afraid it will take up some of your time." Juno's release date is set for December 1, and you will need your help with the publicity plan. ā
Christian is not good at saying noos, so he nodded and said, "If I don't have a nervous job by then, I'll be there." Anne was already familiar with him, and began to provoke boldly, "Boss, I'm a small supporting role, and I still torture us to cooperate with the publicity, you are really stingy." ā
"Stingy?"
Chen Tiandu flicked a blow on her smooth forehead, "I have any title, but I am not stingy." If the movie does sell well, I promise to give you all a big bonus. ā
Natalie seized on the loophole in his language, "That is, if it doesn't sell well, it's all empty words." ā
"Of course, you don't think so." Chen Tiandu confidently admitted that he habitually stretched out his hand to flick his forehead, but was avoided by this woman in advance, and hilariously put on a kung fu posture to defend himself.
Winslet rounded the game and said, "Well, hopefully that won't happen." You know, this is Chen Tiandu's movie. I mention yƬ, let's have a toast together, how about I wish the movie a big hit? ā
"yes, cheers!"
"Toast!" (To be continued......) I1292
