Chapter 307: Price Increase
"Huh. ”
The handsome man can naturally hear the perfunctory words in Smith's words, can the evaluation model be bold?
You can praise the realism of the model, and you can also say that it is really detailed, but what does it mean to say that the model is built boldly? Doesn't Smith mean that the model is too rough?
Yingshuai didn't get angry when he heard it, but just made a few sounds.
Smith became even more uneasy, rubbing his hands together and not knowing how to make up for it.
But Yingshuai didn't care, and had already come to the pool.
"Well, can you test it?" he asked Dennis, who was operating a huge instrument by the pool.
"Everything is ready and ready to go. Dennis replied lightly, humming a small tune.
"Let's get started. ”
"Attention departments, prepare for testing, three, two, one, start!"
With Dennis's order, the boat model in the pool moved, and at the same time, the pool continued to roar and rush up columns of water, which should have been planted with explosives/charges, which were pre-arranged explosion points.
A group of Smiths were disappointed, and the name of the handsome man was actually known to him as half of the film industry. Yingshuai is famous for his special effects in the film industry, and every one of his films can always surprise the audience and make people enjoy a visual feast.
Yes, more than ten years ago, this kind of shooting technique was very popular, after all, it was impossible to use real shooting for big scenes, especially when it involves war and other plots, so miniature models became popular, but now with the increasing investment in films, the use of miniature models has decreased, after all, no matter how good the model is, you can still see the flaws.
Since you have the money, just build a one-to-one model and blow it up, which is the backbone of a big scene.
But Smith was relieved when he thought about it, this is an action scene on the water, the most difficult thing for the director to control is the water, children and animals, and among them, water is the most, the water is impermanent, the water is amorphous, there is no fixed shape of water, you let it pose according to your will.
So Smith thinks that it is normal for the commander to shoot the water battle scene in this traditional way, but can he make the model reliable, at least like a ship, even if it is a test, it can't be so perfunctory, he vaguely began to worry about his future.
"Damn, what do I think, I'm a homeless man, it's a blessing to have a chance to perform, what kind of future. Smith smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked intently at the test in front of him.
Yingshuai also stared at the monitoring screen carefully, and waited for the pool to calm down for a long time before he asked, "How is it?
"It was perfect, even better than expected. Dennis took off his headphones and smiled.
Yingshuai asked, "OK, how many days do you expect to have results?"
Dennis said excitedly: "This time it's just a test, I'll take out the rough effect in two days, and I'm starting to look forward to the real shooting more and more.
"Okay, when the picture comes out, we'll look at the effect and decide which set of special effects to choose. ”
Hero began to turn his head and discuss with Steven, and Smith no longer cared about special effects, he was just an actor.
Yingshuai and they also only discussed for a while, and then left, the starring role was confirmed, and it still took a lot of work to determine the rest of the other roles.
"How's it going, Morgan Freeman?" asked Hero, turning to Winnie.
He agreed to take over the role of Henry Jones, but he asked for a 30% increase in the salary, and also asked for a 3% share of the box office. Winnie said.
"Thirty percent of the floating, and still divide it?" Steven frowned at first.
Ying Shuai asked, "Did you say why?"
He said that he wanted to take over a play directed by Da Ming, and he was also risking his reputation as an actor, he never took on roles that he was not sure of, and he was not familiar with you. Winnie said embarrassed.
The corners of Yingshuai's mouth curled slightly, and he said a little sarcastically: "He has nothing to fear." ”
Steven listened to his words and nodded secretly, Yingshuai said well, there are not many black actors in Hollywood, especially the elderly, because twenty years ago, racial discrimination in the moldy country was much more serious than now, how could black actors have the opportunity to perform in Hollywood, which also caused the lack of black actors in this age group.
Morgan can be said to be the only choice for the handsome at this age, the handsome has already sent him an overview of the script, and after studying the script, he found that the role of Henry Jones is an indispensable supporting role in the movie, and Morgan can't think of anyone else except himself, which is also where he has the confidence to raise the price.
Yingshuai fell silent, filtering the alternative actors in his mind, but he shook his head regretfully, there was really no special suitability.
Morgan Freeman has contributed a lot of classic roles, whether it is the image of a sober, calm, witty, and agile old detective in "The Seven Deadly Sins", or a calm and wise old prisoner in Shawshank, he is at ease, and is even considered one of the three people with the strongest acting skills in Hollywood.
So when it was first decided that Jones would use black actors, Jones's father, Henry Jones, was Morgan Freeman's first thought.
But it doesn't mean that this role is indispensable, in fact, Yingshuai has always believed that although Freeman's acting skills can be called god-level, they are also somewhat overrated.
A careful analysis of the classic characters played by the old man seems to have a high degree of overlap, "kindness, wisdom, tenacity, generosity, and perhaps a little humor", in fact, these qualities can be summed up in four words: loyal to the elderly. This kind of character is what he does best, and it is also the most successful one he has created, or rather, himself.
Acting like Freeman is like Freeman, this is the conclusion that Yingshuai came to with the director's vision, but this is nothing, it is enough for a good actor to play a role well in his life.
But I appreciate your good acting skills, and I'm sorry if you want to blackmail me.
Ying Shuai thought for a moment and decided to give up the old man, joke, no matter how important you are in a supporting role, it is important to have a protagonist?
He paid Freeman three times as much as the lead actor Smith, and he was embarrassed to add to himself. Of course, Ying Shuai will compensate Smith and the other cast and crew in the form of red envelopes after the success of the film, but that has to be his own volition, and he will not get used to the problems that others take the initiative to ask.
"Forget it. Yingshuai said coldly.
Steven on the side frowned and persuaded: "Ying Shao, do you want to think about it again, although he did this a bit excessively, we blacklisted him, and he will never cooperate again in the future, but it seems that there are no other suitable actors for Jihad." ”
He said it well, the preparation of the project is almost the same, if the whole project is delayed for the unreasonable request of an actor, it will be a bit more than worth the loss, he is actually short-tempered and unwilling to compromise, but so many years of experience in the entertainment industry have also taught him to be patient.
"There is no suitable actor?" Ying Shuai sneered slightly.
