Chapter 219: Film OR Numbers

"Gary, we have a new release idea, and "Little Beauty in the Daylight" was shot on film instead. ”

In the CPO office at Pretong headquarters, Gary Gozman looked at the telephone on his desk, frowning at the words of Terry Price, director of distribution at DreamWorks.

In fact, he had already expected what was in front of him, the entire project plan was built by Ye Wei with one hand and one foot, and this genius boy started to attract investors, so he used the sign of saving money to produce films, such as shooting in Toronto, using high-definition digital cameras, etc., in order to spend more money on the online lineup and the film itself.

It was a very good, very professional program that won him a lot of favor for his project, which is one of the reasons for all of this.

However, the situation is different now, especially after Hanks and Roberts joined the starring roles, the LM project has changed drastically, and it has become inappropriate to shoot digitally.

Gozman knows that superstars definitely want to use film, the reason is very simple, film is still the only king today, its quality, its status, and even the way it works, are all liked by superstars, many actors will be affected by the sound of the film to affect their performance, but not these superstars who have become superstars by film films, and they are not used to it without a voice.

Most importantly, safety, they take enough risks when starring in LM.

"We're mainly looking at a couple of things. Terley Price continued, "One is the impact on the box office, although the film is not promoted or the numbers, the audience does not feel much, this is also a variable, and the audience prefers the imaging effect of the film, there will be a subconscious effect.

The other is the impact on the awards, if the quality of the film is enough for it to hit the awards season, then the digital shooting will become its major flaw, you know what the people in the academy think, whether digital shooting is a film or not, has not been really recognized. ”

"I know......" Gonzman certainly understands that maybe one day in the near future, digital will replace the status of film, for now, especially for a literary film, film is still the best choice, if the result of digital shooting is B, then it will be A or even A if the result of digital shooting is B, then it will be A or even A if it is changed to film shooting

It's a common view in the industry that film shooting is more challenging, harder, more professional, and more respectful than digital.

Before the point of view was changed by the trend of the times, the Oscars and the halls of honor belonged to film, and the NTV Awards did not care about these youth positioning awards, and young people always accepted new things faster than the old stubborn ones in the academy.

The question is, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Considering the Oscars? Do you really position "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" like this?"

He should be happy, the mediocre results of "Polar Express" really made him unhappy, from the establishment of the project to the release of more than three years, the big production zuò with high hopes but the results were dismal, he once again felt the cruelty of the film industry, and the admonition: No matter what your mother says, don't think that your project will be successful

The end of many fantasies is a lesson丨The more you fall into a hot-headed situation, the more likely a tragedy will happen, and now many people are hot-headed towards Ye Wei.

Gozman poured cold water and said: "But we also have to consider, is it feasible for the project to suddenly switch to film shooting? Now it is still early before the shooting period, the shooting schedule can be adjusted, but how to adjust it is the total time of nine weeks, if the film is filmed, the actual working time every day is at least reduced, or even time, is it enough?"

"You can hurry up with the time, it depends on how well you do your work. "He also has a film crew. ”

Hey, Gozman is a bit of a belly, the distributor is the distributor, and he doesn't have much experience on the set, so he doesn't know the actual situation at all.

That's right, Ye Wei is a director, not a cinematographer, so he doesn't need to operate the machine, and for the same scene scheduling, film and digital are no different for directors, and the cinematographer of the LM crew, Sean Maurrell, has rich experience in film shooting, and should be able to lead the film crew to solve technical problems.

Some directors don't even recognize the camera equipment when they make their debut.

However, compared to film shooting, there will be many new problems, and the director is always the one who makes the decision, in the face of those unexpected situations, does Ye Wei have enough ability to deal with them? Who knows, who can say the answer with confidence?

"Dance of Angels" and "The Wedding is Coming", in which Weige proves that he is a child prodigy, are all digital works, and he may not even be able to distinguish between negative and positive films. Why should it be so hard for him? After all, he's a six-year-old

It's a big difference between a little more and a little less, and Gozman thinks it's more practical to think about the awards season than to think about it.

But he couldn't say that directly, he was the executive producer of the LM project, and he wanted to give confidence to DreamWorks, so he said, "Turley, ask Weige about this first."

"You remember telling him that if you really have the confidence and ability to impact the awards season, but shoot it digitally, everyone will regret it. ”

Turley seemed to hear that he was not very active, and his words were quite meaningful. After hanging up the phone, Gozman suddenly complained: "The film was not filmed well, and everyone has to regret it even more."

He can almost see a disaster in the future, there is no problem with the preparation period, it seems to be very smooth, when it comes to the filming period, there are a lot of problems on the first day of filming, Ye Wei can't solve it because he is not familiar with the film set, messy things happen one after another, and the worst thing is that there is not enough time, and nothing is filmed at the end of the day.

But in order to catch up with the schedule, I had to adjust the schedule and cut some script scenes, which should have been left in the editing room to decide the trade-off, but the decision was made on the set. However, it still can't be cut, it can only sacrifice quality, rush every day, and shoot a bunch of mediocre images with no lens language and exquisite performances.

Impact the awards season? First of all, there must be quality before it can be impacted, and winning a bad movie can only impact the Golden Raspberry Award, at that time, whether it is digital or film, who cares

Thinking of this, Gozman almost had to reply for Ye Wei, no, really no.

Now the big question is, when Tom knows, when Weige knows, what will they do?

You must not let them pat their heads, how do you tell them?

In Toronto, the snow is drifting.

Ye Wei's mood is very beautiful, Nina, this silly girl is so cute, once she chooses understanding and trust, her enthusiasm for him has risen quickly from 6 below the qualified line, almost in the blink of an eye, and it has returned to 3

Before leaving the cliff park, she returned to the car and took a DSLR camera to take pictures, and she seemed to be back, making funny expressions next to the various snow sculptures, relying on her body to be flexible, making some incredible moves, taking the snow fitness ball as a real fitness ball, bending over the Snow King's Palace, and riding on the snow pig to rush forward......

It really made him sweat, for fear that she would suddenly lose her footing and fall down, and smash his precious artwork.

Enough to leave the park, have breakfast at a nearby restaurant, and go to school.

From today on, Ye Wei no longer wears glasses to school, and no longer deliberately conceals his identity. The power of that pair of glasses was proven again, and because Viy was in the limelight, he was recognized several times in one morning, and finally inevitably caused a stir when eating in the cafeteria at noon.

Starting with an Asian female student, it has become a group of people of all ethnicities laughing and screaming around them, attracting the attention of the whole cafeteria.

"Are you really viy?", "Oh my god, you've been studying here?", "Can't believe you can give me an autograph?", "viy I like you so much"

Ye Wei glanced at the smiling faces of everyone at the table, and became more and more crowded, and saw Nina standing not far away looking through the gap in the crowd, while Damian, who was sitting opposite, looked sluggish.

"Guys, thank you, thank you" Ye Wei raised his right hand, "It's me, the god of weddings, people who like me, cheer"

"Ahhhh

"Great, great" Some Asian girls burst into tears with excitement, and the atmosphere of surprise, presumptuousness, and fanaticism filled the air, making young men and women feel like they were in a pie.

Ye Wei smiled, never disappointed people who liked him, and he was happy today, and said loudly at the moment: "Do you know what happened to me when I kicked that cake to the ground when I was filming on the set of "The Wedding is Coming"?"

In the midst of everyone's smiling gaze, he stood up and continued: "It was very angry, and said, 'Director, although I am a cake, I am also an actor, sometimes you have to kick an actor, sometimes you can't kick, let alone kick so hard, I won't shoot, and then, it will leave. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he danced an impromptu gait dance into the crowd (aai, "Come on, baby, let's go"

Now everyone burst into laughter, laughing at his humor and boiling for his dancing, which is really viy

The entire cafeteria was detonated, and all the people who thought that Ye Wei would be arrogant, unapproachable, and put on a star shelf also cheered at this time, and some people joined in dancing, the free atmosphere of the art school, the proficient dance, and the passion brought by Ye Wei all made them enjoy this flash mob CAAI If there is a B⊥ DJing is perfect.

Nina watched from afar, laughing, clapping, Yunik was so cool, she had always wanted him to be a cool kid, but ...... I'm not used to it.

Wexford was shocked and enthusiastic on this day, and thousands of students in the school knew that Ye Wei was studying here

Not everyone likes him, and not everyone cares, but for supporters, it's like winning the lotto

"Nina, your neighbor turned out to be a big star, when are you going to hide it from us?"

"I'm going to sign an autograph and take a group photo, it's amazing"

Things that are not used to blowing out, being chirped by classmates and friends at school, chirping by Hailei and those people after school, Nina's mobile phone is about to explode, they said that they must see Ye Wei today, otherwise they will not let her go. I really couldn't stand it, so I made an appointment with them to meet them at the "Mandarin Restaurant" in Golden Square in the evening, and she would take him there.

You can't let those crazy girls know that Yunik lives in her house, or they won't be at peace.

After practicing ballet for two hours, Nina was quite satisfied with her watch today, but unfortunately when she looked at the sidelines, Yunik was dozing off, and then the two drove to the Golden Square.

When she arrives on the street outside the Mandarin restaurant, she finally gets rid of the little guilt she has for giving her friends bad nicknames, crazy girl

As if a dream had come true, on the street at night, a group of nearly ten girls were already waiting there, Hailei, Alice, Monica, Liz, ...... As soon as she and Yunik walked away, they all screamed and rushed around Yunik, "viy", "Oh my god, I really saw you"

Regardless of whether they were viy fans or not, they are all crazy now, Hai Lei, a big fan, is about to cry, ignoring her storage, and hugging Yunik and hugging her

"Hailei" Nina suddenly became anxious, "I said you can't be ...... like this"

"You're so stingy, I have to hug me every day, I'll hug it for a while" Hailei hugged her tighter. Alice also squeezed up: "I want to hug you too, but, you don't mind, right?" It's really shameless, and she actually called "Wei" so affectionately, but fortunately she didn't defile "Yunik", Alice smiled and said: "My name is Alice, I've liked you for a long time, can we be friends? ”

Nina is about to be, Alice was not a viyr spoon fan at all before, it's just that all celebrities gossip, if the dream refers to having a celebrity friend, it makes sense.

But what's going on with Liz? In the past, Hailei and the others occasionally talked about Liz who didn't join the discussion about VIY, but now they are like veteran fans, scrambling to hug Yunik's other arm, as if she was his girlfriend. I can't believe it

"Can I kiss you? just on the cheek," Liz asked.

"Uh, this...... You're going to ask Nina, it's her territory. Ye Wei smiled.

"Oh" The girls let out a cry of envy, why didn't their boyfriends know how to say that?

Nina crossed her hands on her waist, she wanted to scold them, but suddenly she felt that it was okay, what was there to worry about with them, look at how happy Hailei was, don't spoil the fun, alas, who called me a good person. She pouted and said: "If you want to kiss, you can kiss, if you want to hug, just for a minute, you can't kiss, i2b starts"

"Wow" The girls immediately rushed to kiss and hug Ye Wei, hugging him was essential, kissing his cheek, so excited that his face was flushed, and holding him with both hands, burying his head in his chest, one after another.

Why does time pass so slowly Nina looked at the phone time anxiously, from the beginning of the indifference quickly became indifferent, she is not so good people can't stand it, I really can't stand it, whether it's time or not, she shouted urgently: "It's over in a minute, stop, stop"

"Hahaha" Liz and Monica walked away satisfied, although Hailei was reluctant to continue, Alice pinched Yunik's ass obscenely, with a happy look on her face, as if to say: Earned, made big

"Uh...... ok。 Ye Wei shrugged.

It's impossible for the angry Nina not to be angry, she won't rush up to wipe his wet cheeks like that, glaring at them, declaring sovereignty: "Don't go too far. ”

"Relax, we're just so happy. "Yes", "Group photo has just begun"

The buffet party was frantic and frolicking, but luckily it was short, everyone had enough to eat, take photos and sign autographs, and then it was goodbye, she and Yunik got into the Land Rover and left, and the crazy girls let out an ambiguous cry of envy next to the car, thinking that they still had the second half of the event, and it was sp ̈

Oh my God, for the first time, Nina felt ashamed of the bad friends she knew, these people were so disgraceful and so decrepit for her.

Yunik was right, if he had known that he was viy in the first place, maybe he would have been one of them, it was really too weak.

Under the night sky, the Land Rover was moving forward on the way home, and it had already driven for a while, Ye Wei was still laughing constantly, feeling very funny, "Nina, your gymnastics team friends are so enthusiastic, I like them, hahaha"

"Hmph. Nina flattened her mouth and suddenly felt a little unhappy, "yes, I'm no different from them, I'm just lucky......"

Ye Wei stopped laughing, looked at her, knew that the stupid girl's love was still unstable, and coaxed: "You know that I only have you in my heart." Anyway, you've seen everyone's viy very clearly today, right?

"Of course......" Nina muttered, at the end of the day, of course there was this feeling, which was true and which was false, if Yunik was real, then it was really not that bad, they didn't know anything, they didn't understand anything, and she did.

"Nina, I'm sorry, it's true that falling in love with me will be a lot different, it's okay that there are no paparazzi in Toronto, but sooner or later it will be ...... You're going to get into the public eye, you're going to be under pressure, and all I can do is try to protect you. Ye Wei said, "This problem cannot be solved, we can only adapt and face it." ”

Nina smiled, "I don't think these are problems, isn't it just some media attention, I'm fine, it's just" just don't lie to me again."

At this time, Ye Wei's mobile phone rang suddenly, he saw that it was a work mobile phone, he usually paid attention to hiding his identity, turned to voicemail and then replied, now he doesn't need it, he connected the call at the moment, put on the earbuds, and said, "Hello?"

"It's me. Gonzman's voice came from the earbuds, "Today there is a new idea from the DreamWorks distribution department, we have to listen to your thoughts first, and I hope that "Little Beauty in the Daylight" will be filmed on film instead." ”

"What? Are you kidding me? Shoot on film instead?" Ye Wei was shocked when he heard this, "That will be a lot more work, and it will be a waste of time, just the time to change the film will add up, I will have to lose several days of shooting, why do you have this idea?"

"Whew, it's good if you know......"
