Chapter 50: The Third Finale

During the filming of the entire film "Pulp Fiction", although the order is not completely chaotic, most of the experienced staff members can still put together a rough and complete plot in their minds although they have not read the script.

The real ending of the film should be the chapter of the gold watch, the boxer Butch who was instructed by Masha to lose by fake boxing but missed and killed the opponent because he pressed himself to win, and in the process of running away in order to get home the gold watch and go home, he ran into Vincent and killed him after the confrontation.

After encountering Marsha, the two are trapped in the basement of the grocery store, Marsha is blown up, and Butch breaks free and kills the two to save Marsha.

Marsha felt that he owed Butch a favor, and the two of them wrote off their grievances, and then Butch picked up his Lori daughter-in-law, left California with a huge amount of money, and lived a life of a winner in life.

Most people on the set actually couldn't understand what Caesar was trying to say, and Caesar seemed to be casually letting whoever he wanted to die in the film, with no rules at all and no reason to talk about.

Both Jules and Vincent kill people without blinking, just because Jules accepted the call of the miracle and decided to use the second half of his life to atone for his sins, and Vincent did not, so Vincent died tragically in the bathroom in a way that was completely inconsistent with the quasi-protagonist's identity, and Jules was able to wash his hands of the golden basin as a matter of course?

Doesn't it seem like good and evil? But what about the character of Butch? The boss asked him to play fake boxing, but he bet on himself to win, killed the opponent by mistake, killed Vincent again, and then killed the owner of the grocery store with a Tang knife, although it seems that the person he killed was either a manslaughter or a last resort, but Butch is by no means a good man in the traditional sense, right?

So why did he end up living the life of a human being?

The most pitiful thing is Marven, as an internal response secretly sent by Ma Sha to the partner, he could have returned to Ma Sha to receive a reward, be promoted to a squad leader or something.

However, all of them were put to an end by Vincent's very amateurish habit of using guns (no insurance), even though Marvin played less than five minutes. No more than four shots, a total of two lines.

Marven didn't kill anyone, nor did he curse a word of fuvk, so he died of a misfire caused by the bump in the vehicle.

You must know that he was mistakenly killed by his own people and accomplices, but there was not even a funeral after his death. The bodies were sent to the scrap vehicle recycling plant like garbage.

It is conceivable that the body must have been crushed into high-pressure metal blocks along with the car, and since then there has been an additional black man named Marvin on the missing persons list......

The source of a qiē crime, at least in this film, the source of evil "Ma Sha", caused so many deaths under his orders, but it was only a small punishment such as bursting chrysanthemums.

Many people speculate that Caesar is just a true record of "the daily life of the underworld", and the artistic processing part is just a seemingly absurd chatter and all kinds of black humor.

To sum up, what is the daily life of the underworld in Caesar's film?

Ha grass? Powder in the nose? Sticking a needle in your arm? Or maybe it's a bloody steak and a five-dollar milkshake? It was a Franklin who carried dozens of bundles tied with leather bands. Or 1911?

In fact, in Caesar's films, the underworld is all about killing or being killed, whether it's in the boxing ring or on the couch in an apartment, in the bathroom in a dark corner, or in the back seat of a moving car......

In Caesar's film, death comes too suddenly.

Why did the people on the set analyze Caesar's films? It's actually the instinct of Hollywood people.

Everyone on the set, whether he is an assistant director, cinematographer, scene note, props, art, lighting, makeup, costumes, extras, fast food delivery. Even the waiters or managers of any fast food restaurant in Hollywood all have a part-time job in common, that is, screenwriting.

Some are trying to get out of trouble by relying on the script. Entering the ranks of higher-paying screenwriters, some are already cinematographers or assistant directors themselves, and they are just trying to get an extra part-time income, or to prepare for becoming the next director.

In short, there are at least 200,000 screenwriters in Hollywood's total area of more than 1,000 square kilometers.

Especially the staff and extras who work in the various crews. Basically, they will cherish every opportunity to follow the group, as long as they have the opportunity, they will study the script through the record of each shot, they study why the screenwriter writes like this, and why the actors act like this. Why did the director shoot like this.

This is Hollywood, the most competitive center of film production in the world.

The crew's last stop was Caesar's Beverly Hills mansion, which took three days and two scenes to shoot before Caesar announced that it was finished.

At the finale banquet, Caesar invited all the crew members to have a big meal in his family's mansion, and he invited Master Xing, a private chef who went to Tampa Bay with his family, in advance, and a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine almost made the whole crew kneel to complete the meal.

Al? Pacino even had the heart to snatch people, but Master Xing's words made Pacino embarrassed.

"I flew over from Tampa Bay with six apprentices to cook, and the round-trip air tickets were all reported, and I also had a bonus of 20,000 US dollars, and the apprentices were 2,000 each, after I arrived at your house, was this also the treatment?"

Pacino didn't say anything, just raised his glass to Caesar in the distance, then did it first, and finally went to the others to have fun in silence.

Just kidding, this is the 80s, and a meal is worth $20,000 for the chef alone, not counting the ingredients, and even the Oscar winner can't afford it.

Even after the turn of the millennium, Pacino joined the "20 million club", he was 20 million before taxes. Even at that time, the cost of this meal definitely hurt him. Not to mention that the dollar at this time in the late eighties was still extremely valuable.

With so much money for one meal, how much salary do you have to pay as a private chef?

Pacino is not even embarrassed to ask, this is the comparison between Caesar, who has the dual identity of a big entrepreneur and an entertainment predator, and these actors, not to mention those second- and third-rate actors.

Master Xing didn't mean to show off, but in the past few years, there have been many people who ask him similar questions and want to poach him, every time Caesar holds a banquet, everyone who eats the dishes he cooks, there are always people who ask similar questions, and he answers them every time according to the habits of the Chinese people. I'm used to it in the Lord's house, I have feelings, and I don't want to move...... These answers are always unbelievable or try to impress him with a high salary, and continue to poach.

His English is not so fluent, and he can barely communicate on a daily basis, but he is really unable to deal with conversations that involve poaching and rejection.

In the end, an apprentice sued him that this was the United States and wanted to reject them. Just by quoting your salary, you can scare off 99% of people, which can save you a lot of tongues.

This time, Master Xing didn't report his salary, but he just reported the salary for this meal and made Pacino retreat, which shows Caesar's generosity to his own people.

The finale attracted a myriad of media outlets, and Caesar's closed set and news silence during filming kept these reporters in a semi-rampage.

According to insiders, the Blackwater security personnel in Caesar's hands may be the most powerful security guards in the world except for the special security of the heads of the United States, the Soviet Union, and China.

The various methods that the reporter thought of blending into the crew were basically the level of door-to-door food delivery in front of these Blackwater personnel.

This made some Black Caesar reporters hate it to the root of their teeth. Only some speculative language and as objective as possible can be used to discredit Caesar and his films.

You must know that this time Caesar has not done any publicity, has not given a single interview, and has not even announced it from the preparation period to the start of filming to the finale, except for a small number of Caesar's fans, most fans and ordinary viewers do not know the existence of this movie at all.

These were Caesar's tactics, and they were also his experiments. He wants to look at his existing fan base and influence. What would be the reaction of his fans if he suddenly came up with a movie. What kind of reaction will there be at the box office.

Judy? Foster praised this approach at an internal Fox meeting, arguing that Caesar's seemingly unreliable nonsense was in fact propaganda that was not propaganda, but a clever tactic.

Of course, this clever method is based on Caesar's nearly 40 million die-hard fans in North America and more than 100 million worldwide. It is also impossible for the average person to replicate this practice.

Bunny Drive-Restaurant, for example, has become the number one gathering place for die-hard Caesar fans in Los Angeles.

This kind of gossip, which circulates among fans and resembles an urban legend, is the fastest way to spread the news before the Internet era, and it is simply more effective than any advertising and commentary.

Actually, this was before the Internet age. True viral marketing takes advantage of the psychological trait that humans never want to want to share secrets.

Just reveal some vague information, such as:

"Caesar is filming a new movie, I don't know the title, I don't know the subject matter, he opened a super restaurant for the film, called Bunny Baby Car Restaurant, I don't know the specific location, everyone will help find it."

Ok, give this information to different groups of Caesar fans, let them interact, inquire, and piece together...... Eventually, they will find the location of the restaurant themselves and make a big splash of it among their fans, showing it off, just like the people who discovered the New World back then.

This is also the reason why Caesar told the manager to open a low-key business, the ceremony was very simple, after the police report, according to Chinese tradition, the hanging whip at the door was finished.

The end of the finale banquet also means that the early stage of the movie is over, at least in Caesar, there is no such amateur behavior as reshooting, because only if the preliminary work is not in place, the later stage will continue to reshoot.

Since there was nothing to do in the early stage, Emily went to work on VGL matters.

Caesar also simply gave the crew members a long vacation, this crew is basically his team to fight in Hollywood in the future, especially photography, lighting and art, three movies in a row have cooperated, basically have a tacit understanding, Caesar wants the picture style they can come up with samples in minutes, which is what Caesar values the most.

In addition to the good salary, the bonuses for working for Caesar are also expensive, so no one is stupid enough to change jobs elsewhere, and even if Disney makes a bad job, it is impossible to pay them a high salary to increase the cost of the film.

Caesar dares to pay more than all the crews, because his shooting cost is lower than all the crews, and because he has the original version in his head, he knows how to shoot conveniently, how to shoot efficiently, and even knows how to shoot to save money.

The cost reduction brought by high efficiency is that Caesar directly subsidizes the crew's salary, so some people in the circle claim that Caesar's movies and even Caesar's crew are irreproducible.

As for whether the person who said this is Caesar's "nursery" or something, it is not known, and it is believed that this accusation should be just a rumor spread by some people out of jealousy.

The crew took a holiday. Caesar couldn't take a vacation, so he returned to his headquarters in Tampa, Florida, with the film and editing and post-production, while writing the tune "pumpkin-and–honey-bunny."

This piece was very famous in Caesar's impression, and many people said that it was a piece of "Black Eyed Pea......

Those who say this probably haven't read Quentin's "Pulp Fiction", which has the famous "Little Pumpkin and Sweet Little White Rabbit" back in 1994. The one with the Black Eyed Peas was actually released after the millennium.

The song "Little Pumpkin and Sweet White Rabbit" is actually inspired by "Dick?Dale's" surf-inspired guitar song "misirlou".

The "misirlou" itself is actually a Latin folk guitar song from Greece or Spain.

In other words, the original author of the song "Misirlou" is no longer available, and anyone can adapt it, so there is "Misirlou" in "Dick?Dale", and Quentin's "Little Pumpkin and Sweet White Rabbit".

Faced with this situation, Caesar did not hesitate to pursue the doctrine of taking, copying and pasting the original version of "Little Pumpkin and Sweet White Rabbit" in his previous life and turning it into his own original for the beginning of the film.

In order not to affect others. All the BGMs in the film are recorded by himself, and every piece is recorded track by track, guitar, bass, drums, and even shakers and pianos are all done by himself.

The band's Ross and Schmidt let Caesar go on vacation, and he was alone in the studio, except that Bea came to pick him up every night on time.

Because if Bea didn't come to pick him up, he would simply forget to rest and work until dawn.

As a quasi-otaku and quasi-silk in a previous life, Caesar is too accustomed to this kind of rhythm of working all day alone.

Judy? Foster stayed at Beverly's mansion to begin handling the promotional distribution of Pulp Fiction and a series of programs on Fox TV. He even had to negotiate with the NBA on behalf of Caesar regarding the broadcast contract between Fox Sports and the NBA and a series of related cooperation.

After having Judy as a helper. It can be said that Caesar felt more comfortable than ever.

He can completely delegate power to her, and let her use her talents to the fullest—far beyond ordinary people's intelligence.

Caesar's energy transformation can indeed improve people's brain activity and achieve the purpose of increasing IQ, but if the IQ is already high, then the effect is not a problem of one plus one is greater than two.

In fact, except for the little pumpkin and the little white rabbit at the beginning, most of them are based on Chuck? Berry's "You-Never-Can-Tell" is a well-known song.

All Caesar had to do was pay royalties. Then make a BGM version of Zuò to match the movie screen, which is probably the whole point of the later stage of the film except for the editing.

Of course, there is also Mia's sarcastic gesture of comparing Vincent's rigidity to a rectangular gesture to make a box with dotted lines on the screen with the position of her finger, and then the box will disappear like a bubble as Mia's gesture ends.

Caesar thought Quentin was square when he first saw the original Quentin. The special effects, which are only worth twenty-five cents, are absolutely a stroke of genius.

Mia's satirical "rigid" shot made the whole film jump out of the "rigidity" of ordinary movies, and let a playful and naughty atmosphere instantly diffuse among the audience's henchmen.

This twenty-five-cent special effect Caesar can do it himself, which is no different from subtitling on the screen, it's just that the text becomes a frame, if Caesar can't do it yet, he can only say that the IQ is too touching, and even has gone offline.

In twenty-five days, Caesar had completed all the post-production, and the film was ready for copying.

The reason why it took so long was that Little Liv and Little Kailin, two little princesses, who were loved by the FFF headquarters staff, often came to play with Caesar.

Caesar didn't dare to use the excuse of being busy with work to drive the two little ghosts home, because little Liv learned little Kailin's moves:

"If you dare to drive us away, I'll cry to you! Hum! The two little girls wrinkled their little noses, pouted their mouths, and waved their little fists, which directly made Caesar bleed.

What kind of threat is this? What kind of threat is this? What kind of threat is this? Important things to say three times! Caesar hurriedly kept hinting to himself, I'm not Loricon!

Speaking of which, Caesar, who is not the same heart as little Kailin, many times knows that they are fake crying through the telepathy of Guò and little Kailin, and he will also cooperate very well to let the two clever girls stay.

Work is never done, and family is more important than anything else.

Rupert? After Comrade Li returned home, he was warmly welcomed by his family, and it was really gratifying that there was finally an actor in the entire Li family's mansion.

In Caesar's family, except for his grandfather, who was a Chinese soldier, most of them were science and engineering talents, and their interest in art was only to listen to music and watch movies, so it was really difficult for them to let them act and sing.

Although Caesar's father in his previous life was nominally one of Caesar's future fathers-in-law in this life, it was also a temporary name, and no one took it seriously.

Caesar has a secret, since birth, because after Caesar gave them a body modification, there has been a consensus among the family, but no one knows what Caesar's secret is, and no one is interested in knowing.

All they know is that because of Caesar, they can have no worries about food and clothing, and because of Caesar, they can stay young and healthy forever, and that's enough.

Ignorance is a blessing is not just a Chinese patent, every country has this similar proverb.

Just as the pronunciation of "Daddy" and "Mommy" is similar all over the world, many things have in common with human beings that are far more common than human beings themselves think and what history has revealed. (To be continued......)
