"With your current shooting efficiency and speed, the amount of 35mm film that Twentieth Century Fox has prepared is probably not enough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In between filming on set, Gal Gadot, who had already provoked part of the crew, approached Murphy and talked about a situation that the film crew had just reported, "I contacted Kodak's distributor in Paris, but they didn't have enough inventory. ”

Murphy nodded lightly and said, "You contact Kara Firth immediately, there should still be stock in the warehouse of Twentieth Century Fox, so that they can fly it over as quickly as possible." ”

"I'll do it." Gal Gadot was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and reminded Murphy, "I've heard some rumors that Kodak is not doing well lately and could go bankrupt at any time. ”

"I see." Murphy frowned slightly and said, "Go ahead and get busy with you." ”

Kodak is facing bankruptcy, which is not good news for all directors who like to shoot on film, this famous film company has been in a bad situation since the beginning of the new century, the development of digital technology has almost forced them to the cliff, and the economic crisis last year and this year will surely bring a huge impact, even if it can get through this pass without bankruptcy, I am afraid it will not survive for a few years.

Then Murphy asked Gal Gadot to pay special attention to some news in this regard, after all, Kodak's situation will be related to his future film choices.

According to the information provided by Gal Gadot, Kodak can hold on for the time being, and film production related to the entire film industry will not be terminated, and Kodak has also reached a new agreement with the six major Hollywood companies to continue to provide Hollywood with high-quality film films, directors such as Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher and Ridley Scott still said that they will shoot their next works on film.

In the media, there was also a news that "Hollywood directors joined hands to save Kodak film film", pushing Hollywood studios to reach an agreement with Kodak to ensure the production and sale of a certain amount of film film.

As the world's largest producer of motion picture films, Kodak film sales have fallen by a full 92 percent since 2004.

Even Murphy himself often shoots on film, but he is well aware that the complete replacement of film by digital technology is an irreversible trend, and it is only a matter of time before it remains.

In particular, industry insiders are not too optimistic about the efforts of several Hollywood directors, saying that although this can save Kodak for a while, it will eventually be replaced by more convenient digital shooting, which is only a matter of time, and for young directors, film will increase their shooting costs, and digital shooting is more suitable.

Of course, as a director and film lover, Murphy didn't want to see film clips disappear either.

A faint sourness, the smell of film, a projector that could hold two turntables, a round film cassette, reflected by a white cloth, focused into light and shadow...... Once upon a time, that's all Murphy remembers of the movie.

Since the advent of digital technology, there has been a constant debate about the superiority and inferiority of film and digital technology, and the flamboyance of film and the coldness of digital have formed two completely different aesthetics.

For hundreds of years, the world of images has been based on film, which has witnessed the development of film. But the advent of the era of high-speed and advanced digital technology has brought down the era of hand-projected films that carry countless warm memories.

Frankly speaking, the loneliness of film is the result of a combination of technology and economics.

In recent decades, every revolution in the film industry has been spawned by a set of Hollywood-led industry standards. 35mm, 24 frames per second, widescreen technology, 3D ...... All of them.

However, Hollywood studios love digital films, not because they are better than film, but because they are affordable.

Think about it, a 90-minute film, with a film length of almost 3,000 meters, requires five or six copies, each weighing about 25 kilograms, to be delivered manually from theater to theater. For digital movies, an encrypted digital hard disk or even a U disk is enough, and it can be directly transmitted and delivered to the theater through satellite without leaving home.

If you do the math, the cost of making a film copy is more than $2,000, but a digital copy is only a few hundred dollars, and it is self-evident what choice Hollywood and even the world's studios will make.

As long as the development of technology continues, there will always be old technologies that will be obsolete, but in the eyes of some directors, the replacement of film by digital technology is not essentially the so-called progress, at most it is an illusion of progress, and they think that when film is still better than digital technology in color reproduction and saturation, it is forced to sweep into museums and warehouses, which inevitably makes people feel aggrieved.

The crew's shortage of film did not affect the filming, and after Gal Gadot contacted Carla Fez, Twentieth Century Fox used its own stock reserves and flew directly to Paris with enough 35mm film.

With the support of a large company like Twentieth Century Fox, many of the problems that arose during the preparation, filming and publicity process were not problems at all.

Today, Twentieth Century Fox has become one of Hollywood's leaders with an integrated strategy, both horizontal and vertical.

The integration strategy can establish a certain relationship to achieve resource sharing, to achieve synergistic operations, and ultimately to reduce costs and improve efficiency, News Corporation's media companies span radio, film and television, newspapers, publishing houses, the Internet, etc., and the excellent manuscripts owned by each subsidiary of the group are uniformly deployed and provided to subsidiaries around the world.

Transversely, Twentieth Century Fox expanded through acquisitions, owning Fox Cable, Fox Television and Fox News, Fox Music and Fox Films.

In terms of vertical competition, Twentieth Century Fox is not only a film production, but also has expanded many film marketing businesses, and further expanded from the film business to theme parks, DVD business of movies, Internet business and related consumer products industries built according to the mission scenes in the movie.

These business expansions have also brought the business closer to the ultimate consumer of the movie.

A platform as expansive as Twentieth Century Fox is completely incomparable to Stanton Studios, and this advantage is not built in a short period of time, but has been developed and accumulated over a long period of time.

Even a fool knows that it is definitely not a fool's dream to set up a new film company in this era, just by shooting some excellent movies, to suppress the Hollywood Big Six and become the leader of the industry.

That's a mental problem.

Lionsgate once seemed to become the seventh largest Hollywood company at any time with a brief period of glory with a series of blockbuster films, but then it fell silent, and once again showed the outside world that Hollywood's new company wants to achieve a first-line point, which is not something that can be solved by movies alone.

With Twentieth Century Fox's 35mm film airlifted into place, Murphy's crew solved the final puzzle and the filming proceeded in an orderly manner, as the film basically did not have major scenes except for the final theater explosion scene, as long as the status of the main actors such as James Franco, Christopher Waltz and Margot Robbie was assured, the filming would go smoothly, and the work that was originally behind schedule was gradually catching up by mid-April.

After more than three months of filming, by the end of April, the crew finally ushered in the final scene.

Since the scene of this scene did not overlap with the previous shooting, Murphy specifically put the end of the film at the end of the film.

James Franco, Christopher Waltz, and Christopher Waltz's stand-in models were quickly ready, and Murphy was satisfied with the lighting, props, backdrops, and camera positions on the set, and gave the order to start shooting.

This secluded grove ushered in a super duel between the little hooligans and the big hooligans.

Murphy gestures to Filip Raschel, and the main camera controlled by Filip Raschel moves along the slide to the sides of James Franco and Christopher Waltz.

While there are four actors on the Pine Forest backlot, it was undoubtedly a head-to-head clash between the characters of James Franco and Christopher Waltz.

"Yutwich and I heard your conversation with the general, tonight will end the war......"

James Franco said to Christopher Waltz, who was a little crazy, with a serious face, "I'm willing to make such a deal. ”

Christopher Waltz had a bad feeling and no longer had the grace he had before, exclaiming, "You will be punished!" ”

"It's a very good deal." James Franco didn't care about his words, and said to himself, "As for your shameless demand, I think it can be considered for the sake of your willingness to put the Nazi top brass to the pot." ”

Christopher Waltz looked at James Franco as if he couldn't see through what he was going to do next.

"When you get the property that the U.S. government gives you, you're going to take off this Nazi uniform, right?" James Franco repeated, "Isn't it?" ”

Christopher Waltz didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I thought so too!" James Franco gradually revealed a big bastard temperament, "This is something I can't tolerate!" ”

He leaned into Christopher Waltz's ear, "If I'm lucky, you don't want to take off this uniform in your life, but I know it's not realistic, you always have to take off this uniform, so ......"

James Franco pulled a knife from his waist, "I'm going to give you a swastika that you can't get rid of!" ”

The filming ended for the time being, and then replaced by his family, and James Franco carved a deep swastika on the dummy's covered scalp.

Inglourious Basterds ended all filming, and Murphy returned to Los Angeles the next day with the film to begin post-production. (To be continued.) )
