At the end of May, whether it is the United States or South Korea, most universities, primary and secondary schools have begun to have holidays, and the summer vacation is also coming. novel

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is still under intense filming, but it is going very fast, and it has come to the end, because Lee Chung-hee, as the director, has cut all the shots that are not needed.

As we all know, the length of the film shot in a movie is about ten times the length of the finished film, which means that when a movie is made, 90% of the shots will be cut in the end, and the rest is only one-tenth of it.

Because of this, although Lee Chung-hee kept improving and left for a period of time during the period, he only needed to shoot all the shots in the original drama without wasting any shots, and there was plenty of time.

The film, which originally took about five months to shoot, has only been more than a month, and it has reached the final stage.

Unlike when the movie was shown, the final part of the shoot was not the one where Jack Sparrow was tried at Port Royal and then escaped and returned to the Black Pearl, which ended early from the beginning of filming on Paradise Island.

The filming schedule, the last segment is filmed at the treasure location, which is the climax of the middle stage of the whole drama, this location is the same as the original drama, perhaps, because "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the same except for the hero and heroine and director, so the other qiē is basically the same, but some better changes will be made in the details.

"Guys, these coins are worth a lot of money, don't throw them around." At the time of the set. Lee Chung-hee said with a smile to the prop master and the set staff.

These gold coins, known as the Aztecs, were also very valuable. It cost almost a million dollars to make 8,222 of them, and the movie says that there are only 822 of them, and the reason why they do so much is that they are going to be used as prizes for movie promotion.

At the scene, there are many other gold coins, which are relatively cheaper, so many prop gold coins, adding up to less than 200,000 US dollars.

Susan, the assistant director, was arranging the lighting at this time. While discussing with Lee Chung-hee, it has been filming for almost two months, although I don't know why Lee Chung-hee's storyboard script is so few, and it only took about 260 minutes to shoot, but she is the assistant director, and Lee Chung-hee has his professional standards and arrangements in other aspects, and she didn't ask much.

"It's good to have soft lights on all sides of the cave," Susan glanced at Lee Chung-hee, "and the gloom is set off in the middle, and then. Hang a special light above Captain Barbossa's head and ...... it with a hard light. ”

"Not overhead." Li Zhengxi shook his head, thought about it for a while, and then replied: "It's good to hit the hard light from the square bevel, and then, behind him, use soft lighting to light, pay attention, don't hit him directly, that will cause too much shadow, but should hit the gold coin on the ground, so that there is also a local flash, so that the gold coins in the four are more dazzling, and more truly reflect the allure of the treasure * ...... temptation." ”

In the original play, it is a simple hard light on the top of the head, which looks rougher, because the use of props is limited, it is impossible to make a scene full of gold, so the lighting is very important here.

Of course, it's not just that, there is also the performance of the actors, directly with the top light, the actors' performances are full of gloom, although the plot seems to be very good here, but in fact it is contrary to the overall plot, after "Pirates of the Caribbean" was completed, some critics of "The New Yorker" pointed out that the atmosphere of the whole film was not taken care of there, this is not a dark and obscure film.

The front and back lighting will make the facial expression not too gray, and the character scenes of the characters will still be handled well by Jeffrey Rush.

Under the command of Lee Chung-hee, with the reference of the system in the head, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, from the first day to the evening of the second day, the whole scene was completely arranged, and everyone had dinner and started shooting.

In the camera, Captain Barbossa grabbed Elizabeth's hand and said to the pirates below, "Who else here has not given her blood," and then cut Elizabeth's palm ...... in the roar of the bandits.

Elizabeth's blood is nullified, and then Turner rescues him, and the bandits begin to pursue, at which point Jack Sparrow, played by Lee Chung-hee, appears.

"How did you get out of that island," Captain Barbossa asked grimly and confusedly, while Jack Sparrow still looked nonchalant and shy, with a hint of sarcasm, "you forgot something very important when you left me on that island, brother! ”

It's been almost two months, and everyone is familiar with it, and now, except for laughing or forgetting jì lines, etc., the filming is even smoother, and the scene that originally took two nights to shoot was bright, and with Lee Chung-hee smiling slightly, "I know who you're looking for?" ”

Then, with Susan's slightly excited "pass", Pirates of the Caribbean was finished.

However, it was only slightly excited, and Susan was still a little puzzled, after all, the film duration was a little shorter, and it was not that it was not unlikely, for example, some shorter ones were available, and there were also those that were shot for only ten days.

But after all, this is a blockbuster that claims to have invested 150 million US dollars, but if according to the current budget, although she does not have the producer Bruckheimer who clearly understands how much money she spent, it is probably only 60 million, that is, less than half, or even one-third of the budget.

Therefore, after the filming was over, she told the crew to pack up her things while saying to Lee Chung-hee, "Vincent, are you sure this is the case?" Seeing Lee Chung-hee turn his head and shrug his shoulders, "Well, I mean, although I think the filming scene seems to be okay, it's only about 260 minutes long, wouldn't that be too short......." ”

"I'll cut it myself," Lee Chung-hee understood what she meant, in Hollywood, after the film is shot, the power of editing is in the hands of the producer, and few directors have the final editing right.

That is to say. You're shooting too short. There are too few materials. When the time comes when the editor can't cut out a complete or good work, the film is finished.

That's why Lee Chung-hee said this to Susan, and sure enough, Susan was stunned for a moment when she heard him say that, but she still smiled and relaxed a little.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" was invested by Imperial Pictures. The ownership of this company belongs to the Lee family, to which Lee Chung-hee belongs, and although the nominal boss of Imperial Pictures is Lee Chung-hee's second brother Lee Moon-hee, more people believe that it is Lee Chung-hee who holds the real rights to this company.

Just like Imperial Entertainment, although in South Korea, as a representative, Jang Dong-guk exercises almost all the rights of Imperial Entertainment, but everyone knows that it is nothing more than Lee Chung-hee trusting Jang Dong-guk.

"How long are you going to cut?" Lee Chung-hee will cut it himself, and he is the director. Almost all the storyboard scripts were made by himself, and he thought he had a specific plan for a long time, so Susan did not question whether he could cut a good film, but asked him how much longer he would lose.

In her mind, it was about an hour and a half, which is the standard length of a normal movie, but the answer she heard from Lee Chung-hee was, "Well, it might be a little longer, about 140 minutes or so......." ”

"What?" Susan didn't know that Lee Chung-hee was basically filmed according to the original drama, there were almost no superfluous shots, and when it was edited, the shots were just cut and sorted, and there were almost no deletions.

There is no longer version or anything like that in the future, and there is no director's cut version, only special editions such as tidbits.

"Let's cut it out and talk about it when the time comes," Lee Chung-hee couldn't say anything more to her at this time, so he didn't explain much, in short, let's talk about it after the editing came out.

Susan couldn't help but chuckle and shrug her shoulders when she saw him say that, but she didn't question Lee Chung-hee's meaning too much, she instead believed that he would make a good work.

The reason is very simple, not only because of Lee Chung-hee's name, but also because since I have been with Lee Chung-hee these days, I know that he is not the kind of guy who is proud.

Of course, there is no question, it does not mean that there is no worry, it's just that it's useless to worry, looking at Lee Chung-hee's answer, it is obvious that he doesn't need her help in post-editing.

Over there, after packing up and taking a boat to their place together, Kate Beckinsale sat next to Lee Chung-hee, looked at the fog in front of her, smiled, and suddenly turned her head to Lee Chung-hee and said, "This is the fastest movie I've ever made, but "Pearl Harbor" took me almost six months!" ”

"Michael Bay's is the real big production," Lee Chung-hee responded with a smile, "Pearl Harbor" is Kate Beckinsale's first blockbuster in the real sense, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" in front of her is her second blockbuster, "There are so many group performances in "Pearl Harbor", and their war scenes are too huge, sometimes, an explosion scene can be filmed for a week, and our cold weapon naturally can't compare." ”

Kate Beckinsale smiled, she just said it casually, as if she was just looking for a random topic.

During this period of time, the two of them are really familiar with each other and really understand each other, but they don't have any terrible sparks, but they seem very bland, I don't know if they are restraining each other, or if they really don't have that kind of heartfire.

"You're going to make Spider-Man next, right?" Kate Beckinsale asked him lightly, didn't look at his eyes, just leaned her head on his shoulder naturally, her eyes were still looking at the foggy sea in the distance, and even her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, faint, a little blurry.

"Not yet, the script is still being polished," Lee Chung-hee shook his head, "It's probably going to be this time next year, Sam Raimi wants me to write a script for him, but I don't have time,"

"And what are you going to do?" Kate Beckinsale was still leaning on his shoulder, and her tone was light, "You don't seem to have any specific plans for the future!" ”

Lee Chung-hee smiled, and also enjoyed this kind of unrestrained conversation, because Kate Beckinsale leaned on his shoulder, he didn't shrug his shoulders, "Even if I don't have a specific plan, in fact, I still have a lot of things, company affairs, scripts, novels, songs, and so ......on." ”

"Oh," Kate Beckinsale certainly knew, and he had seen the gaps in his shoots, or the rest of his breaks, which were actually a lot of phone calls and busy doing all sorts of things.

"Since it's so hard, then don't be a star anymore," said here. Kate Beckinsale finally raised her head and stared sideways at him. "I think a lot of people think that's what they think. You are not short of money, nor are you short of fame and fortune ....... ”

"Would you believe me if I said it was just for the audience, the fans?" Lee Chung-hee smiled indifferently, then turned his head away again, looking into the distance with some distraction.

He really doesn't lack fame and money now, and even, he doesn't want to be stared at by fans all day long. Especially the crazy fans, however, he is very willing to communicate with the fans, like a person in the Savage Fan Club, which is like a home.

Perhaps, the system is a reason, he can't escape, so he has to continue acting, release records or something, but. In his heart, he likes every performance very much. Almost all the time, when he is performing, he does it very carefully, and it is not just a job.

That's because he likes to perform and sing, it seems that because he was depressed before he was reborn, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to perform and sing, but now, since he has that ability, although some of them are directly improved by using the system, but, in addition to skills, acting also needs to be attentive, and that is rich and layered.

It's like life, so he really likes it, and it's just a little tired once in a while, not to mention, he has more ambitions.

There are too many things, even if you hate to be close, there is no way to tell it, therefore, Lee Chung-hee smiled again and said: "I like to listen to other people's songs, humming that kind of tune, and I also like to watch movies, watch other people's performances, soundtracks, photography, etc., I like these, therefore, I also want to join in, thinking about humming my own songs occasionally, looking at my own appearance on the screen, I think it is a very wonderful life, and it also means that I am creating a zào this qiē, this feeling is very good, as if my life is only fulfilling, Complete.

On the contrary, it is money and fame, if not, I will chase it like everyone else, but if there is more, I don't need to care, I think, what I am doing now is to create my life, to make my life more, uh, interesting, beautiful, a lot of words, but I think, it should be called a more meaningful ....... ”

Kate Beckinsale kept listening, her eyes gradually brightened, and at the end, she showed a sweet and charming smile, and did not shy away from stretching out her slender hand to caress his handsome cheeks, with a bit of confusion in her eyes, and said: "You seem to be only twenty years old in a few months, but you look like you are forty or fifty years old,"

Suddenly giggled, his eyebrows and eyes were bright, even more beautiful, and then said: "But this is really attractive to women, so young, but with a mature demeanor, tsk, really cute......!" ”

The last sentence made Lee Chung-hee almost roll his eyes, what does it mean to be cute, but she leaned in and kissed him, so that he could only shrug his shoulders.

is like what he said before, if it were a previous life, he would only indulge in flashy fame and fortune, but after going through so much, he has a qiē that too many people can't have, he has already had enlightenment, not to mention completely seeing through, but he can already leave behind a lot of obsessions.

And this, for him, is indeed another very charming place for women, mature and elegant, with a lot of but indifferent bearing appeared in a young man less than twenty years old, that kind of fusion charm can undoubtedly give women the greatest impact.

Therefore, Kate Beckinsale looked like she had accidentally fallen deeper again, and she stayed by Lee Chung-hee's side during the finale banquet in the evening, and she seemed to have no scruples.

Fortunately, everyone knows that the two of them are usually very close, of course, they are just close, and they don't really give birth to anything, so they don't care.

"Thank you so much," the finale banquet began, Lee Chung-hee picked up the red wine glass and tapped the wine glass with a spoon, which is a Western etiquette, indicating that there is something to say, and then after everyone calmed down, he said: "I still remember the first thing he said to me when I personally went to invite Jeffrey Rush, why did you invite me, that means, boy, we don't know each other at all, are you sure you won't mess things up......"

In the laughter of everyone, Lee Chung-hee looked at Jeffrey Rush, and he gestured with a glass of wine, and continued, "I think, most people are like Jeffrey, if I just act, it would be better, the problem is that I also took care of the director's work, this thing is not a simple thing, look at Susan complaining to me every day that she is tired and doesn't want to eat, and said that Wolski is self-assertive, the prop master is very disobedient, and the actors don't seem to be very easy to manage, etc., I understand, that's not just my business, It also includes getting the whole crew running. ”

"So, I have to thank everyone, thank you Bruckheimer, Susan, everyone in the crew, it's you who support me and tolerate me, so we have this team that is now like a family, uh, the family shouldn't be separated, right, so, I won't say thank you here, because we are a family, and then, I want to say that Pirates of the Caribbean is definitely not just this first part, he will also have a second part, a third part, and when the time comes, we will get together again and have a drink together, so, guys, let's grab our glasses and do ......."

"......!" Hearing Lee Chung-hee's sincere words, everyone also raised their wine glasses, responded violently, and drank it all in one gulp.

Another movie is over, but it's just the task of shooting, the special effects behind, and then the editing, soundtrack, etc., and it will take almost half a year to finish.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem to be released on Christmas, of course, it's still far from Christmas, and Lee Chung-hee still has a lot of things to deal with, and in front of him, he is already ...... beauties. (To be continued!)
