Chapter 546: Baker Street Squad
Of course, the filming of the movie, in most cases, does not follow the order of the storyline.
On the contrary, in many cases, regardless of the order of the story, the plot of one scene is filmed first, and then switch to a new scene.
This is mainly to get the most out of the set.
After all, the work of the set is quite troublesome. Repeating the same set for a scene can be said to be a serious waste.
If you can set a scene once, you can judge multiple shots, and it is best to use them all at once.
What's more, some locations, if you want to use them, you still need to pay rent.
ββThese places that are used by paying rent on a daily basis are naturally used intensively, and it is better to rent less if you can rent less.
You must know that like the king of sunglasses, directors who make movies without regard to cost or time are a minority of the minority after all.
Most people make movies to make money after all, so they naturally need to consider cost and time.
Therefore, the mode of scene shooting will become the mainstream of Hollywood commercial films.
The same goes for Charlotte's "Sherlock Holmes" -
After filming Mary Mostein's first meeting with Sherlock Holmes, the crew's filming scene quickly switched to a famous place.
- The famous 221B Baker Street.
This apartment of Sherlock Holmes and Watson can be said to be a temple in the history of reasoning, and it is naturally an indispensable scene in "Sherlock Holmes".
Although, in real history, 221B Baker Street is non-existent.
- Although Baker Street is a real street in London, when Conan Doyle wrote "Sherlock Holmes", there were Nos. 1~42 on the east side of Baker Street from south to north, No. 44~85 on the west side from north to south, and No. 221 did not exist.
The current address of 221B Baker Street was built by the British in 1930 to commemorate Sherlock Holmes.
Now, it's a real Sherlock Holmes museum, and in a way, it's a veritable name.
Of course, "Sherlock Holmes" could not have been filmed at this real Baker Street 221B.
After all, the size of this place is also a museum, and there is no way for the crew to toss at will.
- It's the same reason that there are a lot of movies about the White House in Hollywood, but few crews really have the opportunity to shoot live at the White House.
However, in order to achieve the maximum reproduction effect, the old gun still took the people from the set team to shoot the scene at the real Baker Street 221B.
Later, according to the framing, combined with the original book of the Sherlock Holmes series and the requirements of director Charlotte, they set up a 19th-century Victorian British style of Baker Street 221B.
At the very least, even real Britons like Rachel Weisz and Jude Law have a feeling of "this is Sherlock Holmes' home" when they stand on the set.
"This interior set is awesome!"
Charlize, who came to the crew with Charlotte today, also admired.
After coming to the UK with Charlotte, she didn't have to work for the time being.
She spent her time on the set of Sherlock Holmes, toured various London attractions, and sometimes went to the filming set of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets......
Although the paparazzi in the UK are very rampant, with the help of the evil god disguise, the paparazzi have nothing to do with her and Charlotte.
The only bad thing may be that after pregnancy, the nightlife of the two has been somewhat affected.
It's not impossible to do, but after all, you have to be careful......
Of course, this is only a minor issue.
In fact, Charlize is now often haunting the set of "Sherlock Holmes", not only to accompany her boyfriend, but also to study-
After experiencing the project "The Devil Woman", she also became interested in the work of filmmaking.
After all, as a filmmaker, how many films can you do not want to participate in that can advance according to your wishes?
So, Charlize is now taking advantage of her pregnancy to learn from Charlotte in order to understand the behind-the-scenes part of the filming process in addition to acting.
For example, she is now very interested in the interior layout of "221B Baker Street".
And Charlotte saw that the actors were still putting on makeup and couldn't start filming for a while, so she explained to Charlize,
"Actually, before the old guns went to the Sherlock Holmes museum to film, I had already given the layout requirements of this room according to the needs of the plot. β
Later, when they came back from filming, we combined the two and created a number of original pictures of the room. β
And that's not all - after that, the people on the game team also made a relatively simple 3D room scene based on the original art. β
"On the one hand, this is to test whether the effect of the original painting can form the picture I need after being arranged in real life, and on the other hand, it is also for the game team to use. β
"You know, "Sherlock Holmes" has a crossover game of the same name, and many of our resources can be used together......"
Charlotte said a lot in one breath, leaving Charlize dumbfounded.
Although she knew before that the behind-the-scenes work of the movie was quite tedious and delicate, she didn't expect the construction of a scene to be so complicated.
"Is it so cumbersome to set up all commercial blockbusters?"
Charlize asked helplessly.
"Almost!"
Charlotte nodded,
"Of course, if we don't work with the game, we probably don't have one less part to make a 3D scene than we do β that's my latest proposal. β
"However, in terms of refinement, it is about the same. β
Of course, how detailed it can be is also related to the amount of budget and the degree of the director's hair. β
Charlotte said with a smile,
"Like the scene of 221B Baker Street, although I am also very demanding, I can't reach James Cameron's role in "Titanic" - this obsessive-compulsive patient, but because of a White Star company trademark that the audience can't see at all, he spent more than 1 million dollars to reorder a full set of tableware!"
β......β
"Although you have a contemptuous tone on your lips, what is the yearning expression on your face!?
Charlize complained in his heart.
She always felt that recently, when she faced Charlotte, her desire to complain became stronger.
"Is this a side effect of pregnancy?"
Charlize, who had never been a mother, was cranky.
And Charlotte, who didn't know what was going on in the girl's heart, continued to teach her experience.
"Actually, Sally, most of the time, you, as a producer, don't need to know these details β you just need to hire enough professionals and then control the budget and the methodology. What's more, the scenes set up and the props made during the filming of the movie can actually recover the cost. β
"You mean!?"
"When the movie is released, it will be auctioned off as a souvenir!"
Charlotte was straightforward.
