0275 Sherlock Holmes
The filming scene of Fengyue Film is very fragrant and exciting, and there are jade bodies everywhere, especially in the scene in the peerless building, it is simply an uncovered conference. In addition, it was summer again, and the staff were so angry that they had to boil a lot of mung bean soup to reduce the fire.
Shao Shuaijun is also young and vigorous, and he often swoops up on the set, but fortunately, he is also a person with a target, in order to supervise Shao Shuaijun not to guard and steal, Li Xiuxiu now lives in Dream Chasing Jiahe. And at night, it is natural for two people to roll the sheets to relieve stress.
IMAX-3D is a complex and sophisticated technology, and along with the process of shooting, Shao Shuaijun began to accumulate from unfamiliar to familiar. And the new electrical technology research institute involved in this shooting also has ample opportunity to store technology.
"Dance Out of My Life" completed the overseas box office search in July, costing less than $10 million and $160 million at the global box office, making Summit Entertainment a lot of money. And "Twilight: New Moon" is a July that ravaged North America, and among the blockbusters, in just half a month, it achieved a terrifying box office, with $160 million in North America, temporarily ranking first in the annual box office. Its overseas releases have also begun one after another, and it is the rhythm of looting.
In the past few years since Dream Chasing Entertainment became the owner of Summit Entertainment, Summit Entertainment is moving towards becoming the largest independent production company. Among the several independently produced films, "Dance Out of My Life" is $114 million worldwide, "Dance Out of My Life 2" is $160 million worldwide, "Twilight: Twilight" is $390 million worldwide, "Inception" is $922.5 million worldwide, and "Twilight: New Moon" is expected to be box office expected. It could reach a global height of 700 million dollars.
This has thrown its old neighbor, Lionsgate two blocks away, Lionsgate has always been a sword-sided, penchant for heavy-tasting horror films, a "SAW" is about to be filmed and vomited, and a large number of horror films are released every year. But no matter how many there are, it can't compare to Summit Entertainment, which takes the boutique route, and a movie tops its dozens.
Without Shao Shuaijun's interference, Lionsgate would have acquired Summit Entertainment in the future, but with Shao Shuaijun. This is not destined to happen. Sometimes Shao Shuaijun thinks evilly. Perhaps in the future, Summit Entertainment will not necessarily swallow Lionsgate.
After all, Lionsgate's future highlight "The Hunger Games" was snatched by Shao Shuaijun, one Twilight and one Hunger. are the pillars of the future Lionsgate. After that. can only be supported by a large number of horror films. This is exactly what Shao Shuaijun covets, don't underestimate horror movies, they don't generate much box office. But it can shine on DVDs and bring a steady stream of income.
The momentum of Summit Entertainment was shocked by the entire Hollywood, as long as it maintains this momentum for a few years, it is definitely to challenge the six major Hollywood film companies, not to mention that Summit Entertainment wants to seek listing, and after the huge market value, the impact will be even greater.
In late July, Shao Shuaijun went to the United States, and there were several problems to be solved in IMAX-3D technology, and he needed to seek the help of IMAX, and the special effects company opened in North America also had to participate. This special effects company is not large, and it was established under the banner of Summit Entertainment, called Summit Digital Painting Company.
Although Summit Special Effects is in Hollywood, the main target of service is the Chinese market, and of course, it will also participate in the films invested by Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment not only has independently produced films, but also has a large number of investment films, with a general impression of Shao Shuaijun, and can give some guidance and participate in money-making investment projects.
"Hi Shao, there's a movie project, I want you to give me some advice." Shao Shuaijun, who was working on IMAX-3D at the pinnacle special effects, received a call from Mitchell.
"What movie?"
"We were approached by a team at Summit Entertainment with the hope that we would invest in their plans. Since they had already been rejected once by Warner Bros., we didn't know if we should agree to the project, after all, the script was quite mysterious. Shao, you better come over first, we will wait for you in the office. ”
The peak special effects and the peak entertainment are just a few walls apart, and Shao Shuaijun will be in the office in a while.
At first glance, I saw a familiar person, this familiarity does not mean familiarity, but Shao Shuaijun knows each other.
Cover. Richie, the director of "Two Big Smoking Guns", is also the target of plagiarism in Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" that mainland audiences thought at the beginning. Cover. Rich's works have been scarce in recent years, and his quality has declined a lot, and his reputation is no longer as big as his "imitator" Shao Shuaijun.
He just divorced Madonna this year, which is also the hottest news about him in recent years.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is the big boss behind Summit Entertainment, the youngest global director in Hollywood, Shao Shuaijun. I'm sure many of you should know. Mitchell enthusiastically introduced, "Shao, this is the ghost director Gai. Richie, these guys are Lionard. Wigram, Mike. Johnson, Anthony. Peckham, Simon. Kinberg, and Joe. Silvo. ”
Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "Hello, Gai. Director Richie, it's a pleasure to meet you, "Two Big Smoking Guns" is a classic. ”
"You're even better, Inception is amazing." Cover. Richie also complimented.
Now everyone sit down, Lionar. As the initiator of this project, Wigram began to introduce their film project.
"Shao Dong, this is a movie about Sherlock Holmes, we are all Sherlock Holmes fans. I drew a comic strip called Sherlock Holmes, and we wanted to make it into a movie, and the script was already written. I came here in the hope that Summit Entertainment can invest, and we need a budget of more than 80 million. ”
"Sherlock Holmes?" Shao Shuaijun raised his eyelids, remembering that this is another blockbuster movie in the future, although it is not a super hit, but the subject matter is very cool, the reputation is also good, and it is worth investing in, "Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes is a world-renowned fiction character, his insight and ingenuity are very amazing, and I am also a Sherlock Holmes fan, and in principle I would like to have such a film filmed. ”
"Shao Dong, did you agree?"
Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "I'll look at the script first, if this script is good." I'll invest in you, and then we'll sit down together and talk about the exact amount of investment and the profit share. ”
After reading the script, Shao Shuaijun had to say that this script was very exciting, of course, the biggest plus was that Shao Shuaijun knew that this movie would make money in the future. So he nodded and agreed to invest, and handed over the rest of the negotiations to Mitchell, Shao Shuaijun and Gai. Rich went outside to chat.
For the cover. Richie is such a geek. Shao Shuaijun talks very strongly. Despite the cover. Richie is a man who can make classic movies. A director who can also make bad movies at home. But in directing, he makes good use of nonsensical British dialogue, bizarre coincidences, cool shots, fast editing and British rock. It has deeply influenced many new directors.
Shao Shuaijun is not sure whether he is a new director. Because he has not yet achieved the goal of being an original masterpiece. But for the opinions of the movie, Shao Shuaijun has his own experience. In particular, many classic movies will be adapted by him. is still successful, which undoubtedly makes him more fully understand the meaning of the word "director".
It's not just as simple as guiding others to act, it's the God of a movie, creating and perfecting a whole world.
The two of them also have some common language, and they talk quite warmly about the conception and interpretation of the movie.
Cover. Richie's films are basically cult films, that is, cult films, which are different from traditional film narratives and structures, and he himself is a cult master. Shao Shuaijun also likes cult films, at least relatively lengthy traditional films, cult movies can show the director's meaning in a more intense way.
Shao Shuaijun said: "Quentin. Tarantino's films, in their non-linear narratives, are full of brilliant imagination, such as the stunning structural play in "Pulp Fiction". Your "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery", as multi-line narrative masterpieces, also play with the structure of the movie. Structure is a crucial part of the cult. ”
Cover. Richie laughed and said, "Actually, I'm very different from Quentin, we both like to cut movies, but he really cuts movies, it's a non-linear narrative." And I just turned one main line into several main lines, and the narrative of multiple lines eventually returned to a linear narrative structure. Either way, we're all cut screens, but your Inception is a whimsical setting, and I watched it four times in the cinema to understand the full structure. ”
Blowing movies, chatting ideas, and time is leisurely.
Soon, the project for "Sherlock Holmes" was officially negotiated, but in order to better prepare for the film, Gai. Rich will lead the team to refine the shooting location and the footage of the script first, and prepare for the official start of production next year.
Shao Shuaijun's life has gradually calmed down, going back and forth between Los Angeles and Hong Kong, supervising the production of "IMAX-3D Yupu Tuan", and learning cutting-edge technology. At the same time, he is also flipping through the novel "The Hunger Games" to see how to start adapting it into a movie. He didn't pay much attention to the movie version, and he couldn't remember the content of the story anymore.
In this way, on the set of Hong Kong, it can often be seen that in his spare time while filming, Shao Shuaijun holds a novel and takes notes while reading.
As the producer, Shao Shuaijun undoubtedly delegated all the power to Bai Jifei.
"Producer, I want to ask you for advice, what should I do with the bath scene in a while?"
Shao Shuaijun was thinking about how to display a lens cover, Lan Yan had already sat down at some point, still wearing a costume, a floral skirt and a half-bandeau top, a phoenix hairpin, delicate lips, and a light blush. A pair of charming eyes looked at Shao Shuaijun like silk, and his smile was meaningful.
"The director is over there." Shao Shuaijun said.
Lan Yanjiao snorted: "Don't, Director Bai looks at me strangely, how embarrassed am I to ask him for advice?" ”
It's all off, what's there to be embarrassed about?
Shao Shuaijun said in his heart, but he said: "Maybe you misunderstood, although Lao Bai's appearance is a little obscene, he is still a very upright man." After saying this, Shao Shuaijun himself was a little embarrassed, and added: "At least recently." ”
"How can there be a decent man and a gentleman, producer, you see." Lan Yan flattened his lips and pointed not far away.
Bai Jifei was talking to Dongmei's actor Zhou Fangxuezi, and despite the translation, Lao Bai still demonstrated in person, touching and pinching Zhou Fangxuezi's body. If you want to say that he is talking seriously, the movements seem to be too exaggerated, if you want to say that this is not serious, looking at the way he dances, it seems that he is quite devoted.
Ahem.
Shao Shuaijun sneered: "Lao Bai is very dedicated, he is very insightful about bed scenes, you have to ask him for advice, some physical contact is nothing." Actors, you have to have this spirit of dedication and sacrifice, don't you? In this part of the bath scene, there is a lot of interaction between you and Kinoshita and Masa, if you want to act well, you have to put aside those worldly eyes, do you understand? ”
"However, I still want to hear your guidance from the producer, okay?" Lan Yan said, and suddenly leaned over, holding Shao Shuaijun's arm with both hands and shaking it vigorously, and the clothes on his chest were about to be rubbed off.
Shao Shuaijun was sitting on a folding chair, and when he saw this action, he immediately moved the chair back, and then pulled his arm out of Lan Yan's arms: "I don't have any research on this kind of scene, you can figure it out by yourself now, you can go to Lao Bai to guide you, or you can go to the bathtub with Kinoshita and Ya to study it well, understand?" ”
Lan Yan saw that Shao Shuaijun had an attitude of not entering the living, so he had no choice but to purse his lips, turn his head and walk away.
This is not the first time that Lan Yan has hooked up with Shao Shuaijun, but it is a pity that Shao Shuaijun has practiced for two lifetimes, and he has long resisted this level of temptation, and he does not accept this set at all. Even Scarlett Johansson's peerless stunner, Shao Shuaijun was indifferent, let alone Blue Flame.
It didn't take long for the scene to start filming.
This scene in the bathtub is about the plot of Tie Yuxiang being honestly forced by Quan Lao, and Tie Yuxiang resisted from the beginning and gradually began to enjoy the process. Fengyue film is not a small movie, so although the lens should be extremely glamorous, the shooting process should not be too explicit.
Except for a few physical contacts, most of them are borrowed for shooting, after post-compositing. Otherwise, it would have been easy to make that kind of movie.
In the tub, the two of them bare their bodies and begin to pose.
Lao Bai shouted loudly on the side: "Blue Flame, a little more charming, a little more charming, a little more charming!" Kazuya Kinoshita, put away your lewd expression for me, cold, be cold! Come, hold her waist, okay, a little higher, a little higher, and the movements should be strong! Lan Yan, what about your voice, your voice is going to be sassy, sassy, give me a sassy sass! Oh yes, that's it! Perfect, so perfect, this body, this posture, this bewitching face, it's amazing! ”
"Director, something is wrong." The photographer shouted.
"What's the problem?"
"The IMAX digital camera is out of focus."
"Pick! How to burn again! Cards, all stop, take a break! Fix the camera! Lao Bai scolded and said.
False focus is that the photographic picture has no focus, this is not the first time that the camera is in focus, and the general camera will hardly have problems under the control of professional photographers. However, due to the imperfection of the technology, this IMAX camera often has blurred shots in focus.
There is no better way, and if you are out of focus, you can only wait for the technician to adjust it quickly.
"Ah Jun, smoke one?" During the waiting break, Lao Bai handed over a cigarette, wanting to tempt Shao Shuaijun to smoke.
"No."
Lao Bai smiled and pumped it up to himself: "IMAX-3D is not easy to shoot, now this progress, I don't know if I can't get it out next year." ”
"Technically, there is no way to speed it up, so you can only work overtime to make the actors work hard." (To be continued......)
