"It is estimated that the nominee luncheon is also coming to an end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At the rest table in the editing room, Mike? Dawson looked at the time, right, Anna? "I bet $100 that Duke won't be nominated for best director," Prinz said. ”

For Mike? For an old-school Hollywood figure like Dawson, it is impossible to be nominated for best director for a superhero movie.

But Anna? Prinz didn't see it that way, she put down the coffee in her hand and said, "Well, I'll block $100 too, and Duke will definitely be nominated for Best Director." ”

Draining the cup of coffee, Duke swept the two men with a bored gaze, "If you don't have anything to do, go to the VFX studio and help." ”

Tina sitting next to Duke? Fei Ze laughed, "The results will come soon." ”

It seems that with Tina? Fei has a tacit understanding, and it hasn't been three minutes since she said this, Nancy? Josephson's phone called, but Tina? After Fei hung up the phone, an incredible expression appeared on her face, as if Transformers had really appeared on Earth.

"What's wrong?" Anna? Prinz asked.

"Didn't you get a nomination for Best Supporting Actor?" Mike? Dawson immediately thought of the other side.

Even Duke's eyes showed a bit of curiosity, Tina? The Philippines was extremely affected by him, and even if there was a serious emergency, this would not happen.

"The list of nominees is out." Tina? Fei put away that expression and said directly, "The Dark Knight won Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Effects, Best Makeup, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, and ......"

She paused, then added, "And Best Director, nine nominations in total." ”

"No Best Picture?" Mike? Dawson asked.

Tina? Fei shook his head, "There are no nominations for Best Picture. ”

How many people from Duke also revealed something similar to Tina? Fei's expression just now.

A film nominated for Best Director but not nominated for Best Picture is extremely rare, although not unique in the history of the Oscars.

Several people glanced at each other, and Duke sighed. "The academy is a master of balance."

"Those people should be going to do politics...... "Anna? Prinz couldn't help but shake his head, "Instead of doing film awards." ”

After all, Duke and these people are veterans in the industry, and after a little thought, it is not difficult to find the intention of the academy, and "The Dark Knight" has caused an extremely strong response. The content of the discussion has been out of the scope of the film and spread to the real society, coupled with Duke's strong appeal, if you ignore it directly and do not give an explanation, it will surely be attacked by countless media and fans.

And discriminatory superhero movies are another tradition of the Academy. Those stubborn old men certainly don't want to break the tradition so easily.

Giving Duke a Best Director nomination and ignoring "The Dark Knight" for Best Picture is a way to comfort the media and fans while trying to keep its legacy alive.

There is another aspect, Duke's own status and influence cannot be ignored at all, which can also give him an explanation.

"It's a nomination." Duke told Tina? Phyi, "Inform Warner, the focus of the propaganda is still on the Heath? Ledger must guarantee his best supporting actor. ”

If the Hiss? Ledger is still alive, and it will be infinitely more difficult for him to win Best Supporting Actor. But death is often better than the best PR.

By the same token, Duke is still alive and well, and it is impossible for the Academy to award his own director to him for "The Dark Knight".

Jean Tina? Faye continued to follow The Dark Knight's progress at the Oscars, and Duke's attention turned back to the post-production of Transformers.

After completing the first cut version, Duke began to refine the film without adding special effects, with the clear goal of reducing the length of the film to less than two and a half hours, making the whole pace more tight.

Strictly speaking, it's also a standard superhero movie. But unlike the likes of "Spider-Man", Duke won't make "Transformers" appear like Peter? Parker vs. Mary? The plot of Jane's melodious love song, the affliction between Sam and Michaela, will also exceed the feelings of men and women. And this relationship is the same rhythm as the film, which is overwhelming from beginning to end.

This kind of sharp MTV-style high-speed picture editing is also known as the 'Duke? Rosenberg Format Style'.

In fact, no matter who makes the Transformers live-action movie, the protagonist of the protagonist is undoubtedly the Transformers themselves.

Alien machine life transforms into ordinary mechanical equipment to avoid the attention of ordinary people, all kinds of transformations. From cars and airplanes to robots with their feet firmly on the ground, the picture is like a dream.

But in order to be authentic, you need to produce extremely good special effects, and Duke is very demanding of ILM, which is responsible for the special effects production, and the special effects produced are repeatedly modified by them.

He wanted the robots on the screen to come to life, whether they were hovering in the air, running away in the sand, or running on the highway, as if they were in the real world.

There can be no ambiguity about the fact that the robots are virtual, but the tanks and planes they compare to are real.

At Duke's request, ILM's special effects artists made the two digitally combine the two on the blue screen to create a special effects picture.

At the same time, the cooperation with the military is quite crucial, there are many war scenes in the film, and it is also the largest cooperation between the military and Hollywood in an action movie, and the sponsorship provided by the Pentagon allows the crew to save a lot of money, so that more money can be invested in post-production.

Excluding the months spent on preparation, the film was shot entirely in 75 days on location, with IMAX3D cameras for some shots.

The scale of the production of Transformers can be described as very large.

Although the shooting was completed and the post-production was going well, Duke did not relax in the slightest, and any negligence could have extremely serious consequences for such a film.

In order to coordinate the work of the various departments in post-production, he put a folder in the computer commons called 'Cut Specimens', which all colleagues involved in the production can freely browse.

Duke is well aware that cinema is a product of teamwork, and that if you don't try it yourself, you'll never get the picture you want.

The film editing is completely faithful to Duke's style, and the finely cut sequences are filled with countless action scenes, countless characters, witty lines, one visual effect after another, and of course, countless fast-spinning footage, which is almost breathless.

To a certain extent, whether it is editing or special effects production, it must be tempered a lot, so that Duke can make the picture in his mind into a finished product by cooperating with a tacit team.

The special effects production department used six video workstations, two massive storage facilities to store all the footage and corresponding preview sketches, and a multimedia network was built to allow ILM and Duke to send daily work results to each other without hindrance.

"Transformers" is very large, and the editor Mike? Dawson's experience and skill are well understood by Duke's ideas, and he always weaves fast-paced combat scenes, intricate special effects, and just the right amount of humor into a gripping story.

In addition to the more than six-hour version that was cut out at the beginning, Duke still had dozens of hours of footage in his hands, which were all alternative shots for the film.

A movie, no matter how it is made, cannot be copied and pasted, not to mention that Duke has made so many changes, since he entered the industry, no one has shot more than ten or even twenty times as many as the final cut.

From the prep period to the end of the shoot, Duke prepared a lot of material, and when he entered post-production, sometimes the only purpose of the crew's work seemed to be to find some shots that he didn't use, because he would also be dissatisfied with the editing results and kill them all.

Every day, except for his days off, Duke would go to the workplace to figure out what he wanted and describe it to others.

He also sometimes wants to see the editors' work first, let them cut out their work first, and then study and review it for an hour or two, he doesn't need to put together dead things, he wants sets of shots to be smooth and natural.

In this case, the film's action scenes went through repeated editing, and Duke often had to deal with eighty to a hundred sets of shots a day, each of which had to be taken seriously, and they were all important components of the film.

In order to get the job done efficiently, including Mike? Including Dawson, Duke used a total of six editors, but the other five people were named after Mike? Dawson is the master.

Transformers is the biggest feature of "Transformers" because of its scale and fast pace, and it is essential to have a capable editing team that constantly comes up with useful new ideas.

Even so, many times the crew will look at each other and be helpless, like such a large-budget and large-production movie, if you want to process the finished shots with quality and quantity, you need multiple editors to work together.

In search of feeling, Duke watched the first few episodes of the 1984 cartoon repeatedly in his spare time, but he didn't plan to be overly affected, after all, movies and animated series are very different works.

And including Mike? There are no avid Transformers fans among several editors, including Dawson, and although it is easy to delete some clips that may be important to Transformers fans, on the other hand, it also makes the editing effect more acceptable to the general public, so that the movie does not become too fan-oriented.

The scale of this movie is very grand, and the content of the original animated series is simply not suitable for transplanting into the movie, Mike? Dawson hadn't even watched the previous Transformers animated series and the big animated movies, because he thought it would be important to make a 'Duke? Rosenberg-style films' are not helpful.
