Chapter 531: The Awakening of the Filmmaker
In this way, Charlotte easily got the support of all the IMAX board of directors and took over this small company, but it will have a far-reaching impact on the world film market in the future.
And the fact that "Sherlock Holmes" uses IMAX technology for filming has also been decided.
The main issue here is the use of IMAX cameras.
This kind of expensive large camera is different from ordinary cameras in terms of how to use them.
- If nothing else, the head and weight alone make an IMAX camera a lot more than a normal camera.
- A photographer with little strength can't even carry this thing.
The use of this thing naturally requires special guidance from IMAX technicians.
Not to mention, as someone who would use a lot of spell effects during the shoot, Charlotte also had to think about how to attach spells to IMAX cameras so that the spell effects would continue to work.
This also requires preparation in advance.
Moreover, according to Charlotte's plan, the filming of "Sherlock Holmes" also needed to use high-speed cameras.
After all, the fighting skills of the protagonist Sherlock Holmes have a lot of elements that are deduced in advance.
If you want to shoot this part of the content expressively, you must have the corresponding action coordination, and shooting in slow motion can't shoot the instant effect of a fist hitting the cheek and the whole face distorting and deforming with the fist.
That's where you need a high-speed camera.
Fortunately, IMAX also has some research on high-speed cameras, and it is not a problem to meet Charlotte's requirements.
It can be said that "Sherlock Holmes", which is being filmed this time, is the most application of new technology since Charlotte made a movie.
Therefore, he should be much more cautious in his preparations.
On the other side, after separating the ghost clone of the red-clothed ghosts, Charlize was also relieved of his worries.
She didn't go on vacation or prepare to shoot the next movie as before, but followed director Patty Jenkins and began to follow up the post-production of "The Devil".
"Now I completely understand why the profession of director is very prolific if I can make a movie in one or two years on average!"
One night, Charlize came home tired, and she lazily collapsed on the couch and complained to Charlotte,
"In the process of making a film, the director and producer do have a lot more to focus on than the actors. ”
"You're just not used to the work of a producer. ”
As a passer-by, Charlotte comforted her girlfriend and said,
"When you get used to it, the job of a producer is still relatively easy - this job can be said to be in charge of everything, but you can also do nothing, and most importantly, take care of money and people, and leave the rest to the director. Some great producers, like Jerry Bruckheimer, can oversee several films at the same time. ”
"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do!"
Charlize had a sad face,
"Anyway, the production of a movie "The Female Devil" is enough for me. In contrast, I think it's easier to act in seven or eight movies a year as an actor. ”
"That's not an easy thing to do, is it?"
Charlotte retorted,
"I think that starring in seven or eight movies a year, if you don't count the roles, you can be regarded as a model worker among the actors!"
"Really, then I'll show you the achievement of a "model worker" one day!"
Charlize said confidently.
And Charlotte shook her head,
"Sally, with your current position, unless you die like Robert Downey Jr., it will not be possible to achieve that feat again. ”
“...... You're right. ”
Charlize thought for a moment and finally nodded.
For Hollywood actors, there are different coffee positions, salaries, treatments and behavioral standards.
Things like receiving seven or eight movies a year are more suitable for those second- and third-tier stars who are on the rise and are working hard to hit the first line.
- The actor's personality at this stage has not yet been condensed, and it needs to be exposed even more, and it is not harmful for them to receive more movies.
Moreover, for actors at this stage, successful works are more important than failed works.
After all, as long as it is not like Kevin Costner, who failed in a super production like "Future Water World" and was a mess, even if ordinary movies fail, they still have a chance to make a comeback in the second and third tiers.
At most, it's about a little less in the short term.
But on the other hand, as long as one or two of these seven or eight movies are big successes, then they are likely to take the opportunity to jump to the top line.
- In contrast, A-list stars are much more cautious when they take over movies.
Because in their position, success is already a must, and failure becomes unforgivable.
Generally speaking, a Hollywood A-list star, as long as he fails two or three movies in a row, will completely fall out of the line.
- This is not a simple status, but also involves real money and various endorsement fees and other income, so the stars must not be cautious.
Therefore, A-list stars will be cautious about receiving films, and at the same time, they will deliberately control their annual exposure.
You know, there is such a thing as aesthetic fatigue in this world-
Whether it is a handsome and masculine handsome guy or a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, if it appears frequently on the big screen in the past few years, the audience will soon get bored.
- As an actor, I have dominated the summer file for many years in a row, just think about it when I dream, if it's serious......
Of course, it is not completely impossible to dominate a certain schedule for many years.
However, there is a premise that needs to be added.
- That's a full-time comedian.
To some extent, the special type of comedian, or comedian, is not very affected by aesthetic fatigue.
- And they don't really need beauty.
Because it can bring laughter to the audience, the audience often has a high opinion of this type of actor.
- Xing Ye and Uncle Ge in the East, Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller in the West, are all of this type.
As long as the story of the movie is not too rubbish and it is a comedy, the audience will buy it.
Although such a movie is more suitable for the Chinese New Year schedule around the New Year, or as a small and medium-budget film in the summer file, it does have a high success rate.
It's just that he is a comedy star for one day and a laughing star for life-
If there are too many such comedy movies, they will often leave a preconceived impression on the audience, and it will be difficult to transform in the future.
is like Uncle Ge on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a series of Chinese New Year comedies made the audience identify his comedy image, even if he had very good acting skills in "Night Banquet", he couldn't stand the audience "laughing when he saw him"!
- So he failed several times in the direction of the main drama.
It can only be said that success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He......
