The incident of Tong Guò made Ke Zihua understand a truth, as a director, no matter what decision he makes, he must take the movie as the starting point.
Sometimes, sticking to one's own point of view can make a classic, and sometimes, such persistence is not necessarily beneficial to the movie.
Excessive insistence on one's own opinions, and not listening to the opinions of others, is stubbornness.
There is no one person in the world, and no art form, that can be recognized by everyone. And for a director, what is suitable for the film is the best.
There are many factors that affect a movie, and when multiple opinions are involved in a movie, disputes will inevitably arise.
From this, Ke Zihua thought of "Terminator 2", and the vast majority of viewers must not know that there are two other versions in addition to the ending they saw.
The prestige and qualifications of the great director Cameron are high enough, right?
Cameron originally designed a perfect ending for the movie: the boy who was destined to be a leader has grown up and entered the Senate to become a member of the Senate, and he and his mother Sara are also living happily in a new world, a wonderful world where Skynet cannot wage war against humanity.
This was originally a happy ending that fit the routine very well, but because I heard the different opinions of the audience at the time of screening, I gave up my idea.
So the ending of the release became: the machine qì T800 destroyed itself after destroying the T1000, and the protagonist sat in the car and drove into the distance, and the road ahead was as confused as the boundless highway.
Therefore, it can be said that the final ending of "Terminator 2" is not Cameron's creation, but the collective creation of the audience.
Of course, a good director must also be persistent at some times, and the situation of "Terminator 2" is an example of a director catering to the market.
Although this will be guaranteed at the box office, it will inevitably reduce the artistry of the film.
For example, director Wu Yusen's "Changing Face", when he proposed to let Cage adopt the drug dealer's child, he was always opposed by the producer's bigwigs.
Their reasons are very good, in Hollywood movies, action movies are shot according to their routines, and they think that it is a wrong concept to express humanistic feelings in an action movie.
Director Wu did not compromise on this, he asked the bigwigs present at the time: "You are all people who attach great importance to the concept of family, so is there anything wrong with me filming like this and giving the little girl a brand new home?" ”
In order to convince them, Director Wu didn't bother to shoot two versions, and after a few screenings, everyone unanimously expressed their liking for the ending designed by Director Wu, and criticized the hard and impersonal ending as useless.
After comparing the two situations, Ke Zihua seems to have grasped the point: "As long as I can find a suitable embedding point, I can also achieve a perfect fusion of action and art." ”
On Thursday afternoon, Jerry's assistant Roy went to Ke Zihua's home with a printed contract.
After reading the terms of the contract in detail, Ke Zihua said to Luo Yi with great satisfaction: "Luo Yi, thank you for rushing to Wen Gehua in person, I am very satisfied with this contract, but you know that I am a novice, so there are some things that I still have to ask you." ”
Roy's face always had a professional smile, "Mr. Ke, Jerry has explained to me, if you have any questions, just ask, I will answer them for you in detail, this is also my duty." ”
Ke Zihua nodded and asked: "I saw that the contract said that I would be treated as a quasi-first-line star, I don't know much about this, can you tell me the specific content in detail?" ”
Roy didn't give him a perfunctory just because he was a novice, in fact he could see it in Jerry's attitude, Jerry took the young man in front of him who was more than ten years younger than him very high.
Therefore, he explained to Ke Zihua in great detail: "The treatment of quasi-first-line stars is actually for those actors who have already had at least one excellent work and played the leading role in the film. ”
"In other words, they must have a certain box office appeal, and they also have their own fixed fan base."
"For example, when you arrive in Hollywood, we will arrange a five-star hotel for you, of course, it is just a standard business room, and the A-list star is a business suite or a presidential suite."
"If you're not satisfied, we can negotiate on that as well."
Ke Zihua has never been very picky about where he lives, but he thinks it's too wasteful to live in a suite alone, and he doesn't think it's a big deal to live in a suite, "Luo Yi, I don't have any special requirements for this, so it's good." What about the others? ”
Roy smiled at him, and then continued: "In terms of travel, there will be your own car, and there will also be a full-time driver to serve you around the clock. ”
"If you have your own chauffeur, we will reimburse the driver, but the driver will only be able to live in a standard room."
"Of course, if you have your own car, that's not a problem."
Hearing this, Ke Zihua suddenly thought of Bandy's request, and thought that it would be good for Bandy to follow him, at least he also had a companion, so he said to Roy: "I don't have my own car yet, but I have a friend, if he is my full-time driver, it's no problem, right?" ”
"No problem, we will provide the car, and you can pay the driver's salary with the credit card we provide."
Seeing Ke Zihua nodding in agreement, Luo Yi said again: "Let's talk about your living expenses, and I will give you a special credit card after signing the contract." ”
"According to the standard, the credit limit of this card is 100,000 US dollars, which means that after you enter the crew, your monthly living expenses are 100,000 US dollars, and if you exceed this limit, you need to pay the bills yourself."
Ke Zihua was very satisfied with this, and said to Roy with a smile: "Very good, thank Jerry for his generosity for me." ”
Then there were the accompanying assistants, and Roy said he could hire three assistants, including the driver, and that if there was no suitable candidate, the crew could hire them for him.
However, Ke Zihua considered the problem of habit, so he rejected Luo Yi's kindness, he has always been used to it alone, and suddenly felt uncomfortable being surrounded by a group of people, and it was enough to have a bandy.
As for Cicero, he felt that it was not suitable to take him with him now, firstly, because he had not yet passed the probationary period, and secondly, he had to take care of his mother Rose.
In the contract, Ke Zihua's responsibilities and rights are very clear, he is the action director of the crew, he can propose changes to the script, can shoot action scenes independently, is allowed to use less than 3 million shooting funds, has the right to edit the film, and so on.
Soon, Ke Zihua signed his name on this contract, agreed on a specific date with Luo Yi, and accepted the credit card prepared for him by the crew.
This time, Liu Qianwei was not accompanied by Liu Qianwei to sign the contract, because he had just passed his eighteenth birthday and could already sign the contract.
In the evening, Ke Zihua told Su Luo and Liu Qianwei about this matter, and both of them were happy for him, but they both felt a little lost.
Liu Qianwei regretted that she not only had to manage her own company, but also take care of Su Luo, so she couldn't follow Ke Zihua to Hollywood to see the world.
And Su Luo was because he had to be separated from him for a long time, and the two had just made progress, which made Su Luo, who had tasted love for the first time, very reluctant, Ke Zihua had to try his best to comfort her, and promised her that he would come back to see her every month, which made Su Luo's mood better.
Subsequently, Ke Zihua called John again and told him about Bandy, John agreed without saying a word, and joked with a smile: "I really envy that stupid boy of Bandy, he is lucky to meet you." ”
When Bandy heard the news, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he talked nonsense on the phone with Ke Zihua for a while before hanging up the phone under his persuasion.
The next day, Ke Zihua came to the school to explain the situation to the old man Lukasen, and showed him the contract he had just signed, and Lucasson was very happy to sign his name on his leave slip.
Because Ke Zihua promised him that he would ask him for a signed photo of Cage.
The crew arranged a grand farewell dinner for him, and John also invited Liu Qianwei and Su Luo.
During the banquet, everyone expressed their blessings to Ke Zihua, and this time Ke Zihua was finally able to drink, but Samuel poured a lot of whiskey.
Although they have only been in contact for a short time, they have formed a deep friendship with each other, but parting is always sad, and in the end everyone who can drink is high.
I saw John raise his wine glass, smiled and comforted Ke Zihua, who had red circles under his eyes: "Haha, don't be so sad, when you come back, maybe you can catch up with our finale banquet." ”
Samuel, on the other hand, put his arm around his shoulders while burping, and said gibberishly, "Go ahead, go teach Cage how to drive, haha." ”
Ke Zihua was amused by him: "Come on, I heard Jerry say that several of their main actors have started training very early." ”
Samuel was not convinced, and shouted in a rough voice: "Then go and teach them to drift!" ”
Speaking of drifting, everyone looked at Ke Zihua with admiration on their faces, and then coaxed: "Haha, that's right, Ke is going to teach them to drift." ”
On Sunday morning, Ke Zihua took Bandy on a plane to Los Angeles and began his Hollywood tour.
