Chapter 439: Bait
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
As night fell, the sign of Moorby's Bar sounded, and the roar of huge motors came from far and near, and a fiery red Ferrari sports car drove up like a speed, and finally stopped in front of the bar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Stepping out of the sports car was a brown-haired young man of about twenty-five years old, and the parking boy at the door of the bar was obviously familiar with him, so he took the initiative to come over.
"Hi Cameron." The parking boy took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Is it still the old rule?" ”
The young man named Cameron threw the key and slipped a dollar in his hand, "I'm still old to leave." ”
"Don't worry!" Glancing at the large denomination of dollars, the parking boy said excitedly, "There is enough time, I will have someone wax the car again." ”
Cameron waved his hand absently and walked through the bar door.
The lights inside the bar were dim, probably because it was relatively early, the band was preparing, and the deafening heavy metal had not yet sounded.
Cameron casually found a place to sit down, asked for a bottle of wine, took out a cigarette case and put it on the table, and drank slowly.
A scrawny white young man saw him, walked over, and sat directly across from him.
"Xiaoka, out of stock again?" The two sides were obviously acquaintances, "I have good goods here that just came from Mexico." ”
"Take one and taste it." Cameron snapped his fingers and said quite heroically, "As long as the goods are good enough, money is not a problem." ”
The thin man took out a cigarette case, took out a homemade cigarette, and handed it over.
Cameron took it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then stuffed it into his mouth and took out the lighter.
"Boss, that's him."
In a corner not very far from Cameron, a short man with glasses gestured to Cameron with his eyes, and said respectfully to the person opposite, "He comes here every few days, there are no less than five luxury sports cars, and he is also very generous, he should be from a rich family." ”
"Hmm." The man nodded.
He was a stout black man, most conspicuously a shiny bald head.
The bald black man glanced at Cameron, made sure he wasn't looking for the wrong person, withdrew his gaze, and asked the dwarf, "Are you sure you can't find your head?" ”
"Absolutely not!" The dwarf swore solemnly, "I didn't really do much. ”
He looked at the thin man opposite Cameron, "This guy is a big fish, those bastards who went off the line have long wanted to pull him into the water, and from him, you will definitely be able to make a big profit." ”
The black man nodded lightly again, compared to these people, those who are at the end of the network are basically some unruly gangsters, even more unprincipled, dare to do anything for money, and rarely think about the consequences.
It's okay that some things are easier to do.
Cameron took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and closed his eyes in enjoyment, as if completely intoxicated by this fluttering feeling.
"How?" The thin man asked duly.
"Good goods!" Cameron didn't even open his eyes, and gave a thumbs up, "Yes, it's much better than the last batch!" How many do you have? I want them all! ”
"You want these?" The thin man suddenly changed his tone, "This is something that the sucks, I have a better one, do you want it?" ”
Cameron opened his eyes and looked at the thin man, and his brain, paralyzed by excitement, gradually realized what the thin man was saying.
The thin man kept shaking his head and casually threw the cigarette case on the table in front of Cameron, "You don't just smoke this kind of stuff, do you?" ”
"I ......" Cameron, although his head was a little dizzy, he had not completely lost his mind, and knew that touching those was not the same as sucking big. Hemp is a completely different thing, "I can't touch those things, or my grandfather will ......"
"Little card." The thin man's face showed a little disdain, "How old are you?" And look at your grandfather's face? You go back and ask your grandfather, how many people in that circle don't suck? Did he suck it when he was younger? ”
No need to ask, Cameron knows what the answer is.
The thin man pointed to the cigarette case on the table and said, "That's a completely different feeling, a hundred times stronger than this." ”
Cameron was a little moved, but still hesitant.
"You just go and see, taste, try, if it's not suitable......" the thin man shrugged, "just don't touch it in the future, and no one can force you, right?" ”
With a few twitches of his nose, Cameron was so dizzy that the nerve in his brain had begun to beat.
Just like all addictions. The gentleman was the same at the beginning, Cameron said with a little hesitation, "That'...... Okay, I'll take a look. ”
The thin man stood up and walked towards a private room in the bar, with Cameron following closely.
"Boss, the fish has taken the bait."
In the corner, the dwarf said to the bald black man, "The atmosphere inside is very infectious, unless he is strong-willed, he will definitely suck under the influence of the environment." ”
The bald black man nodded in satisfaction.
The dwarf continued, "Cameron is a big sucker. People who are addicted to hemp have no willpower at all. ”
The black man habitually touched his bald head, stood up and said, "You keep an eye on this matter, and notify me immediately of any new situation." ”
"Don't worry, boss." The dwarf put away his playful appearance, "I'll put aside other things for a while and just stare at this guy." ”
The night grew darker, and in a makeshift parking lot outside the bar, the red Ferrari had been quietly parked in a parking space, never moving, as if the owner had completely disappeared.
The popularity of "Iron Man" made Warner Bros. and DC Comics feel the pressure, and they reached out to the CAA, and this time the target of negotiations was not Murphy, but Gal Gadot.
Because Gal Gadot's outstanding performance in "Man of Steel" and countless fans attracted countless fans, it made this film more appealing, but also caused problems for Warner Bros. and DC Comics, because there was no long-term contract, if Gal Gadot wanted to continue to play Diana Prinz in the subsequent "Wonder Woman" independent film, a new round of negotiations with CAA was required.
Murphy didn't meddle in this matter, and it depends on Gal Gadot's own intentions.
Except for the occasional concern about the progress of Rose's side, the rest of his energy was basically devoted to the rest of the post-production work of "Inglourious Basterds".
Because it wasn't until the time of the fine cut, Murphy found that there was a little problem with the filming of the screening room in the theater explosion scene, and it was time-consuming and laborious to call the actors to reshoot, so he simply concentrated the staff of the post-production related departments to adjust this section through editing, color grading and lens overlap.
Murphy first re-edited the scene with Jody Griffith.
"I needed a confined space in the screening room to create a theatrical scene like a stage, and I could even see the light and shadow effect of the place where the German GIs had fallen, similar to the light chasing the light on the stage."
After the editing was completed, Murphy focused on explaining to the colorist, "The moment Soshana looked back at the GI, the soft side light shone on her golden hair, and instantly felt like the Virgin Mary was possessed, and the Jewish beauty who was still shooting and killing people a second ago looked at the dead GI with soft eyes. ”
This will be the most beautiful part of Margot Robbie's film.
Murphy then gave the edited clip to the colorist for color grading.
Looking at the whole of Hollywood, excellent colorists are rare high-end talents, and the later stage of the film is an important factor in increasing the cinematic sense of the picture, and the most direct modification of the picture is the color grading of the movie.
The main work in this area is to change the exposure, saturation, contrast, and hue of the material, color some parts of the picture, remove unnecessary noise, and highlight what needs to be expressed, which is equivalent to the "makeup artist" of the movie.
One of the major difficulties in film color grading is to balance quality and efficiency, because color grading is the finishing touch in post-production, and the previous editing special effects and other departments have already squandered almost all the time that should be squandered, and the time left for colorists is basically not enough.
Any Hollywood movie, conservatively estimated to have 1500+ shots, a month to complete, an average of 50 high-quality shots per day, if you encounter a large number of special effects shots, or a particularly tight schedule, then the work intensity is higher.
This is also the reason why colorists are expensive.
However, Murphy gave the colorist plenty of time, and there weren't many shots in this section.
A week later, he and Jody Griffith saw the results and were quite satisfied with the colorist named Susan Charles.
Coupled with the editing of Murphy and Jody Griffith, the effect of this segment when played is amazing.
Under the light and shadow of the projection room, and the black and white images of the play-within-a-play that are inserted from time to time, Suoshana's red dress is particularly moving, with the red of blood, temptation, and revenge, and at the moment of the gunshot, it transforms into an instantly withered flower, mixed with the dust of blood, like the black feathers flying in the sky at the end of "Dream Traveler".
And the GI in white uniform is the impudent bastard who said one second that he couldn't bear to look at the killing scene, and the next second because he was provoked and took "three hundred corpses lying in Italy to prove that I am not the one you should refuse".
"For the evil character who carries the simple impulse and conceit of a young man, and at the same time does not forget to make up for it when he is dying, white is more suitable than the black and green of the Nazi high-ranking officials, and it is also more in line with his identity as the 'male lead' of the night."
Murphy explains the concept of Gal Gadot, who is quietly staying next to him, "The contrast of red and white gives the whole picture a romantic beauty, even though he is depicting the death of two incomparably young beings." The brown-red texture of the wooden floor, the flickering old-fashioned projector, and the red and white young body give the whole picture a classic oil painting-like texture. ”
Compared with the usual fast and sharp editing of other violent scenes, the rhythm of this section is relatively soothing, and Murphy has used seven shots to show Sosana's expression, slow motion is not only a matter of speed or rhythm, but also a way of observation. (To be continued.) )
