A few days later, Sophia? Coppola put an end to most of the extras, the most difficult of which was not the shooting, but the makeup, and the super avant-garde outfit of Shi Huiguo's upper class made the costume and makeup team of the crew do a lot of preparation, and even so, these staff members worked nearly twelve hours a day.

The costumes are also a major feature of the film, and Ryan's request is simple: to capture a few key elements to catch the eye of teenage and female audiences as much as possible.

As for whether the movie contains some hidden irony, is that screenwriter Susan? Collins and director Sophia? Things to consider for Coppola.

There are a lot of action scenes in the shooting, Sophia? Coppola is not good at these, and the action scenes are basically handed over to the tiger? Chen Lai is in charge.

When the actors, directors and various other teams from Hong Kong were squeezed out of Hollywood, he became one of the very few people who could gain a foothold in Hollywood because of the integration of his own efforts and the support from Jenkins Films, or except for the tiger? Outside of Chen, there are not many Hong Kong filmmakers who can stay in Hollywood.

Kung fu films, which have been popular in North America for a while, have also entered the sunset and are about to end.

This is the inevitability of the development of Hollywood, not by anyone or any group company can change, after the establishment of Hollywood, there have been several times when foreign films have risen for a short time, but after Hollywood absorbed the essence, most of these outsiders were finally eliminated from North America.

It's very simple to say, Hollywood action directors only need to learn some kung fu skins, combined with the routines of other fighting methods, supplemented by various high-tech means, which is enough to design fights that attract the audience.

In the last decade of Ryan's previous life, the situation was almost like this, after Hollywood absorbed some of the advantages of kung fu. Combining the strengths of Muay Thai, judo, taekwondo, karate and kickboxing, the fights are designed to be simpler, sharper and more direct, and the actual effect after the release of the movie has also proved to be enough to attract the attention of the audience.

Tiger? Chen basically abandoned Yuan Heping's routine, and he was almost completely Hollywoodized.

If you want not to be eliminated by Hollywood, you must first integrate into Hollywood and become part of this big factory or assembly line.

After all, a high degree of commercialization and industrialization is the key to Hollywood's success.

Ryan's character is a completely face-painted villain, according to the direction of the script. Aside from the final fight with Pita and Katniss, there is nothing outstanding or unusual, in the words of a previous life, a soy sauce crowd.

Most of the time, he just sat next to watch the crew shoot, and occasionally appeared in front of the camera for a few cool and handsome action shots, and even had few lines.

Katniss is the only protagonist in the film, and most of the camera's shots will only follow Natalie.

In just a few days. Natalie experienced a series of action shots such as climbing trees and hanging tightropes, although there were a few small accidents in the middle, but under the protection of the crew's safety measures, she did not suffer any injuries.

Of course. The story takes place in the future of Shi Huiguo, whether it is filmed in the studio or on a few trips to Brisbane, there will always be a green screen in front of the camera.

With the rapid development of computer synthesis technology. This has become a must-have part of all major zuò films.

After more than ten days of filming, there was good news from North America. Stuart vs. Allen? Ruston after several rounds of negotiations. A deal was quickly reached, and Disney Studios acquired the rights to adapt "Life and Death" for one million dollars plus three percent of the North American box office.

Ryan also took the time to finish reading this memoir, and then asked Julis to start writing the script, this kind of movie that is a one-man show most of the time depends more on the grasp of the leading actor and director, and the script can only be said to be a relatively minor element.

"The progress of the set up here is a little slower than expected." Sofia? Coppola put down his coffee cup, "I had a phone call with Ms. Kennedy yesterday, and the farm is basically set up, and after this week, we'll go shoot the exterior first." ”

Today's scene ended early, Ryan, Natalie and Sophia? After returning to Brisbane, Coppola and other people who knew each other agreed to have dinner together at the hotel's western restaurant, and after dinner, they sipped coffee and chatted.

"Great." Taylor sniffed the coffee, but still obediently picked up his juice, "I miss Gru." ”

"Who's Gru?"

Natalie, who was chatting with Scarlett, suddenly looked up and asked, "Your new friend?" ”

"The ......," Taylor rolled his eyes, and in an instant thought of what to say, "a shepherd dog, the leader of the hunting dogs on the farm, is best at hunting hares. ”

Natalie nodded, then turned to Ryan, who was sitting next to her, "Didn't you invite us to go hunting together?" ”

"Of course you can if you like." As soon as Ryan's words fell, Scarlett knocked lightly on the table, "In this case, you can prepare a bow and a pot of arrows for Nat......"

"Need a knife for you?" Ryan joked.

"She can't lose the rabbit even if she prepares it." Taylor bit the straw and muttered sarcastically, "We tried it yesterday and Scarlett couldn't even miss the target." ”

Scarlett? Johnson shrugged, but rarely said anything, obviously knowing that he was terrible enough to throw knives.

A few laughed about Australia's rampant herbivores, and the conversation turned back to the movie.

"The crew borrowed the warehouse area of the farm to build the 12th district." Sofia? Coppola talked about some of the preparations he had done there, "The hilly terrain at the edge of the woods was set up as a battlefield for the game. ”

She suddenly sighed, "Frankly, Ryan, the cost pressure of 100 million dollars is a bit high, if it weren't for you preparing another action director, I definitely wouldn't have taken over this series." ”

"Sophia, don't you want to make the critics who criticized you even more shameful?"

Holding the coffee cup, Ryan said bewildermently, "You were nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, and the film critics who laughed at you back then said that female directors can make literary films, and they have done nothing at the box office, don't you want to slap those film critics in the face?" ”

"And ......" he cocked up his finger and interrupted Sophia? What Coppola wanted to say, "If you really want Hollywood to know your value, high-grossing movies are essential." ”

There are many people who won the Oscar for Best Director in their previous lives, but those who can really step into the ranks of the first line have proven themselves at the box office or in business.

The Oscars may discriminate against purely commercial film directors, but Hollywood definitely not.

It's very simple, for film companies, is Sam who can win the Oscar for Best Director for his debut? Does Mendes matter, or is it Michael, who has never made it at the Oscars? Is Shellfish important?

Can even put Michael? Bey for Stephen? Sommers, Roland? Emmerich and other directors of purely commercial films.

Then again, Ryan really doesn't remember who the director of "The Hunger Games" was in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Sophia? Coppola.

However, this is also beneficial, with the opening of the Internet era, it has become a normal phenomenon for directors to come to the forefront, and the all-female main creative lineup will definitely be easier to attract women's attention.

Maybe you can do a PR job with a few large feminist organizations, so that when they are doing events, they can properly promote the film?

I'll leave it to Disney to discuss.

The women chatted about topics of interest to each other, and Ryan listened and thought about them.

The success of The Hunger Games is not only about promoting the film, but also about the impact of the novel, and like the Harry Potter series, the film and the book have a very reinforcing relationship, and the last thing Disney lacks is the experience of promoting young people's works.

So far this year, in Nielsen statistics, "The Hunger Games" is second only to the "Harry Potter" series and "The Da Vinci Code" best-selling books, since the day it came out, a total of nearly 7 million physical books have been sold in the United States, in terms of online and e-book promotion, Disney has also made great efforts, on Amazon and other websites, the number of sales of this book has not fallen out of the top five.

Hollywood is very familiar with adapting books that have been well received by the market into films, and then using guò movies to promote the sales of books and merchandise.

On the premise of ensuring the popularity of the movie, Disney's temporary promotion focus is still on the novel, and the more readers of the novel, the movie will have the most basic audience in the future.

Maybe next year, when the movie is released, the mockingjay will become the most popular brooch in the United States.

"The MV has to wait for the Hollywood record company to come."

Taylor's words interrupted Ryan's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Honey, are you in a hurry?" ”

"The time is set, there's nothing to worry about." Taylor turned the empty cup, "Even if it's going to shoot, it depends on Sophia's schedule." ”

"When will the record be released?" Sofia? Coppola asked.

"On my fifteenth birthday." Taylor pointed at Ryan, "He said this is my birthday present this year." ”

"The MV will be released earlier." Ryan added, "It's about half a month in advance, so I told you to cut some of the trailers, plus use the game location as the MV shooting scene, and if the MV market is well received, you can also promote the movie." ”

Although it has not yet been launched, the relevant departments of Disney and Hollywood Records have formulated a complete publicity plan and deliberately chose an alternative MV release platform.

With Disney's huge resources, it is not difficult to become popular with a girl with extraordinary strength. (To be continued......)
