readx;?β Duke? What does Rosenberg's production company look like as a compelling and sought-after director and producer? β
Sitting in the reception lounge of the Duke's studio, Gao Fangfang couldn't help but think about this problem, she had just reversed the jet lag, and she couldn't wait to contact Warner Bros., and then had this visit and interview. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]
Although he came from the national TV station on the other side, Gao Fangfang was a smart person, knowing that this was the United States, and his identity and the TV station behind him were not easy to use, even if he waited a little long, he was still full of patience and curiosity.
After all, she's going to visit Duke's studio and interview Duke, the world's top director? Rosenberg.
The famous Hollywood director has the qualifications and capital to make any media and journalists, even though Gao Fangfang knows very well that Warner Greater China promoted this interview more to use the power of his own TV station to promote and promote "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", which has entered post-production.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the lounge, and then a tall woman with brown hair pushed the door and walked in, smiling and reaching out to her, "Hello, Miss Gao, I'm Duke's assistant Tina?" Phenanthrene. β
Although the other party claimed to be just an assistant, Gao Fangfang stood up as soon as possible and shook her outstretched hand hard, "Hello, Tina, can I call you that?" β
Gao Fangfang once studied in Los Angeles, otherwise he would not have gotten this interview assignment, and he also knows a little about Hollywood, and he has done enough homework before coming, if he really treats this tall and beautiful woman as only an assistant, then there must be something wrong with her head.
Does she know it's called Tina? Filipino woman in Duke? Rosenberg's position in the group as a whole, can it be said that Duke? Rosenberg's enormous accomplishments directly made his assistants the top powerful figures in Hollywood.
Tina? Fei slightly distanced the two sides, "Next, I will take Miss Gao to visit the Duke's studio." β
Although the Duke's studio has long been acquired by Time Warner, it still retains all traces of Duke, and many important initiatives are often left to Duke for decision-making.
"Thank you."
Gao Fangfang said politely, follow Tina? Next to Faye, with his own cameraman. Walked out of this lounge.
She knows very well, Duke? How could a director of Rosenberg's level be a tour guide for a journalist? Can you send Tina? The Philippines has already shown sincerity and attention.
And Gao Fangfang also knows. Now less than half a year away from the North American and global release date of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", director Duke? Rosenberg must have seized every minute to get busy with the post-production work of the film.
A film like Star Wars: The Force Awakens is certainly filled with a lot of special effects shots, and on a narrative level, there will be a lot of detailed work to do.
While passing by an open-plan office. Gao Fangfang saw Duke? Rosenberg, the director, was discussing work with several people and seemed quite busy.
Gao Fangfang deliberately took a few more looks, she didn't get a look from Duke? Rosenberg felt any nervousness in him and his current partner, Charles? Rowan is explaining something to some people.
"Duke? What was Rosenberg's production company like as a compelling and sought-after director and producer? β
As the tour and the videographer's shooting progressed, Gao Fangfang had a general impression.
Many similar Hollywood studios are located in single-family villas or office buildings near the studios, but the "Duke Studios" are not, and it is located in an indescribable, isolated building near Burbank. Just a few blocks away is the Warner Building.
Maybe it's to make it easier to connect with Warner Bros., or maybe it's Duke as a young man? Rosenberg was fond of jokes and pranks β the building's faΓ§ade read "National Typewriter Company," a fictitious company that didn't even exist.
Walking inside this film company, Gao Fangfang can see Duke? Rosenberg's stuff, on the walls of the long hallway, was nailed with all sorts of posters, including an old American football game flyer with the words Duke? Photo by Rosenberg.
"It was a game from Duke in high school."
Tina with her? Fei duly explained, "In this game, Duke sent the first sixty-yard touchdown in the history of Mountain High School. It's also one of the things that Duke remembers most in high school. β
Gao Fangfang knows about Duke? Rosenberg has an American football team and can't help but ask, "Is he proficient in American football?" β
Hear that, Tina? Fei couldn't help but shrug her shoulders. "It's okay in the amateur class, and it's ...... compared to the pros."
She couldn't help but shake her head.
See Tina? Fei shook his head, Gao Fangfang also understood, stopped asking, and continued to look at the poster in the corridor.
Keanu hanging in the hallway leading to the conference room? Reeves' autographed "Speed of Life and Death" poster, Nicholas? Cage's signed poster for "Death Island", Tom? Hanks' signed "Saving Private Ryan" poster, Naomi? Watts' signed Chicago poster, Charlize? Theron's signed "The Matrix" poster, Gerald? Butler's signed "One Hundred Thousand Urgent" poster and Vigo? Poster for Mortenson's signed Lord of the Rings trilogy......
Simply Duke? A large collection of Rosenberg's works.
Walking through the long hallway, Gao Fangfang followed Tina? Fei walked into the newly renovated review hall. In the center of the review hall hangs a giant enlarged poster of the famous Marvel movie character Natasha hand-drawn by a child in a homework book. Normanov, next to him wrote in childish handwriting: "I love Natasha, she is beautiful and intelligent. β
Tina? Fei opened his mouth to explain, "The author of this painting is Duke's goddaughter Suri? Cruise. β
Gao Fangfang nodded, this is called Su Rui? Cruise's little girl is apparently Tom? Cruise vs. Nicole? Kidman's daughter.
"I'd like to ask a question."
Obviously, Gao Fangfang was not very interested in this painting, and instead his eyes were fixed on the employees in the review hall who were reading the script, "How should a typical Hollywood company like Duke Studio review the script?" In other words, when a project arrives at a film and television company, what kind of review process should be more appropriate and efficient, so that a good script will not be missed? β
It's an incredibly tedious question to answer, Tina? Fei couldn't explain in too much detail, so after thinking about it for a while, she gave some very general answers.
"The strict control of the editorial review department must be motivated by the consideration of reducing the company's investment risk," Tina? Fei said simply, "They carefully evaluate and review the script from the audience's perspective and mentality, including the choice of subject matter, the quality of the lines, the quality of the picture, and the novelty of the story." The editorial department must be more professional, more attentive and more responsible than the employees of other departments of the company. β
Tina? Fei replied here, as a veteran in this industry, she knows very well that even if she does what she just said, can she really select excellent scripts and projects by implementing such a strict method and system? It's still very difficult.
Although the people who solicited the script wanted to leave a better developable story, in fact, the result after the primary selection was basically a piece of death.
Most of Hollywood's projects rarely have actually solicited scripts to evolve, and the probability of such a pitched script eventually becoming a movie is very low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big wave.
Subsequently, Tina? Fei led Gao Fangfang into the exhibition hall of the Duke's studio, where the shelves were filled with memorabilia and models related to Duke's previous film and television works.
No matter where Gao Fangfang's eyes fall, she can see one or two interesting small ornaments, and other surprises continue to pop up during the visit, such as she found that a beeswax hair removal machine is printed with a palm-sized "Neo" logo, and the note next to it also says that this is Keanu? Used by Reeves when he starred in The Dark Empire.
The scale of the Duke's studio is not very large, Gao Fangfang simply calculated, there are about 100 people, but what makes her most curious is that the company employs a group of full-time craftsmen, whose job is not only to print interesting themed T-shirts with machines, but also to make various props through 3D printing or hand-made.
Tina? Faye told her that it would help them get what they wanted quickly at the creative stage, and use it to decide if the idea would work.
To further elaborate on his point, Tina? Faye walked to the cabinet and took out two rope guns used in "Batman", one was printed in the company and cost only $3, but after using it as a model and making various adjustments to it, the second one was finally made out of resin and metal, which is the prop actually used in the film, which cost about $800.
Gao Fangfang found that there are many editing rooms here, as well as a 60-seat small theater with the most advanced technology.
"Although it is used less often here."
Looking at the empty auditorium, Tina? Fei can't help but think back to a busy time, saying, "Duke's emphasis on constantly fixing problems during the production process reflects the passion he had for making films since he was a child, using all available resources to achieve results." β
Follow Tina? Fei walked around the Duke's studio, Gao Fangfang and the photographer returned to the original reception lounge, and an assistant brought coffee and black tea at the right time.
Wait for the assistant to leave, Tina? Fei looked at his watch and said, "Wait a minute, Duke's work should be almost finished, I'll go over and take a look." β
Gao Fangfang immediately bred up all his spirits and prepared for this interview.
