144 Oscar, here I go again
Suda Kamezaburo was quite surprised to open the suitcase in front of him, and only opened a gap, and saw the neatly placed yen bills inside.
Quickly closing the suitcase, a bright smile appeared on Suda Kamezaburo's face: "Mr. Takeda is so polite!" Isn't it just a food documentary? It's an honor to be here to shoot! How do you shoot it? We try our best to cooperate! ”
He babbled, but Zheng Xu didn't understand.
His eyes swept to Nosaka Qingqing's face, and when he saw this thing grinning, Zheng Xu knew that this was probably taken.
There was also a smile on his mouth, and after nodding slowly towards Suda Kamezaburo, he returned to his cold expression.
Suda Kamezaburo looked at Zheng Xu with some embarrassment, and then looked at Nosaka Qingqing and said, "This... Nosaka-kun, I asked Mr. Takeda to make a special trip for this matter, which is really... It's really..."
Suda Kamezaburo held back for a long time and didn't think of anything to say, the main reason was that the main owner didn't speak, and he was also embarrassed!
Nosaka Qingqing glanced at Zheng Xu very casually.
Zheng Xu threw his right hand on the table and tapped the table with his index finger a few times.
Seeing Zheng Xu's gesture, Nosaka Qingqing understood, acting according to Plan B!
...................
The three of them talked for a few more minutes, and then Suda Kamezaburo accompanied Zheng Xu and Nosaka Qingqing all the way to the gate of the office compound.
Suda Kamezaburo waved at the distant convoy with a red face, and only turned back to the compound when the convoy was out of sight.
The reason why he was so happy was because Zheng Xu gave too much!
And it's not a one-shot deal!
And that's just the upfront benefit fee!
When the film is finished, there will be a second benefit fee!
Suda Kamezaburo sighed, he now feels a little bit that the rumors don't match the reality!
What are the nobles to be afraid of, look at Mr. Takeda, although he doesn't like to talk, but he is magnificent!
Sure enough, it came out of a big family!
Isn't it just to cooperate with the shooting and help collect some information?
What's so difficult about him?
He can't wait for that American director to come here every year to make a documentary, and in a few years, as long as he saves enough money, he will be able to move up in this position!
....................
", big brother, your acting skills are amazing! This turtle son didn't see it. ”
In the Toyota Century car on the return trip, Nosaka Qingqing and Zheng Xu sat in the back seat, and Nosaka Qingqing saw that it was far away, so he dared to open his mouth to pat Zheng Xu's ass.
"Hmph~ Let the two of us come forward to deceive him, it can be regarded as the most glorious time of his life!"
Zheng Xu was already immune to Nosaka Qingqing's sycophants, and looked out the window...
Some things can bring different results if they are done in a different way.
Take today, how to shoot "Dolphin Bay" in order to finish filming in a short time?
Come above board, of course!
Therein lies the particularity.
Before he came, he had designed three plans, ABC.
Now a set of plans has taken down Suda Kamezaburo, the head of the region.
Then the rest of the things are basically smooth all the way!
Easily took off the fake beard and wig, and Zheng Xu rubbed his face.
His appearance today, except for the fact that his appearance is fake, the other information is true.
For example, the clothes he is wearing now and the family crests embroidered on his clothes, which are all organically traceable!
Of course, ordinary people, if you check it for half a year and a year, it is not easy to check.
These are all the various identity vests prepared by Nosaka Qingqing's family for the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
It is for their family to suffer a "disaster" and make it easier for family members to run away.
Now take out one for Zheng Xu.
Zheng Xu is not good at Japanese, so he can only create the identity of a noble son who looks both arrogant and indifferent.
.....................
The general direction is done, and other details can be prepared slowly.
In mid-August, a small crew that entertained most of the emperor, brought Zheng Xu, Xiao Kai, and Lao Hei, and was quietly established.
The identity of the crew is completely legal, and they are filming with a license!
The regular script, although the crew is small, but the documentary is understandable.
As for this black man, it was Zheng Xu who invited him, the so-called American director.
Zheng Xu, for the sake of insurance, took one step in place, and specially invited a dumb black man this time!
His task is to be a mascot in the crew, and when he needs to appear occasionally, he will show up and give him another sum of money before leaving.
Be sure to be foolproof!
.......................
Indoor studio, set up scene, Nosaka Qingqing wearing a casual suit.
Zheng Xu handed him a line that he needed to use in this game.
"Big brother... I have headphones. ”
Nosaka Qingqing thought that Zheng Xu looked down on him so much, and he had headphones to prompt him, and he specially brought him lines.
Zheng Xu raised his hand, and Nosaka Qingqing habitually shrank his neck first.
"It's a line, it's a prop! Do you understand, Lao Tzu, this is to help you get out. ”
After speaking, Zheng Xu lazily explained to him, just do it.
Pat the photographer next to him and remind him that he is ready to shoot.
The scenes filmed today about Nosaka Qingqing's exit are actually very simple, just read them according to the lines.
In the original play, the middle-aged man who left the country was originally from the crew, and he said some things from the standpoint of the crew.
But Zheng Xu changed him.
First of all, the corner of Nosaka Qingqing is also a victim!
Because when the time comes, this "Dolphin Bay" documentary will win the award.
Nosaka Qingqing, the "initiator" of the project, and the person who is also an exporter, will definitely not be able to run.
Even if you can run for a while, you can't run for a lifetime!
He is different from Zheng Xu in this regard, his home is here, and he can't be restless because of a documentary.
Even if the Nosaka family has some influence in this area, more is better than less.
Although Zheng Xu wants to pit him, the current Nosaka Qingqing still has value for him!
You can't just pit it to death.
So I can only find a way to get him out as much as possible.
But it's too hard.
In the end, Zheng Xu changed his way of thinking, since Nosaka Qingqing is inseparable from this film.
Then turn reactive into proactive.
Taking this idea as a starting point, Zheng Xu specially designed lines for him.
The early scene was Nosaka Qingqing, who really thought that the crew was shooting a food documentary!
These are real shots.
Later, after learning that this American crew was a liar crew, Nosaka Qingqing was angry and extremely uncooperative!
Documentary!
What you want is "real"!
These will all be filmed!
Then through the influence of the crew, Nosaka Qingqing learned the real harm of slaughtering dolphins, and helped the crew continue to deceive the locals to continue filming.
Although this inconsistent mentality is a bit of a pawn and a stand.
But most people eat this set!
This time you can set up Nosaka Qingqing's people.
Even if some people hate him so much, they really have nothing to say.
He can regret it again in the end.
Since you can be reformed once, it proves that you can be reformed a second time.
This is to let him say what in which position, leaving a leeway.
..................
The documentary "Dolphin Bay" is easy to shoot about people.
The really hard part of the film is the dolphin shots!
This requires a kind of compound talent!
Divers who know how to take pictures.
This kind of out-of-the-way talent is inherently difficult to find, and you have to find reliable ones.
In the end, he could only call and shake people, Zheng Xu called Uncle Zhao and asked him to help arrange a few divers to come over.
As for whether the divers will shoot or not, let's talk about it when the time comes.
..................
"Are you all ready for your masks?" Zheng Xu sat in the co-pilot and turned his head to look inside the car.
There is a cameo from him today, and as the director of this film, he wants to leave the country with his real name.
Today, I photographed their car, and the people wearing masks drove into Taiji Town secretly.
Through telling, the whole story is brought out.
Here, Zheng Xu set himself up that through the help of American friends, he came to the island country to deeply explore the beginning and end of the dolphin massacre in Taiji Town.
As for who this friend is, of course, I can't say.
I took some scenes of Taiji Town in the car, mainly in front of various sculptures of dolphins and whales, aquariums, and museums, and then introduced them in depth.
....................
One of the most important reasons why a large number of dolphins are driven and caught every year in the Taiji area is not for food!
Rather, it's that a large number of aquariums around the world need smart, trainable dolphins.
Where do these dolphins come from?
Most of them are from the island country of Taiji.
A dolphin is sold only for meat, and a dolphin can only be sold locally for a few hundred dollars.
And the trained, obedient dolphins, sold to the aquarium, can be sold for tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of dollars!
The huge profits in this are unimaginable!
And how do they choose the dolphins who are smart and clever, or who know the times and are handsome?
Cast a wide net!
Pick out the dolphins with good image and vitality first, and this level alone can brush off most of the dolphins.
The last place for these dolphins to be brushed down is to be killed and sell meat!
It's that cruel.
And the dolphins that escaped the catastrophe have to go through layers of screening, and then after training, they can be sold to the aquarium in the outside world.
Every trained dolphin sold, out of sight beneath it, is not the painstaking training of animal trainers.
Rather, dozens or hundreds of dolphin carcasses were piled up.
..................
Time passes slowly in this tense and hectic way.
Through various methods, all the footage was filmed by the end of October.
The next step is post-production.
Zheng Xu nested in Nosaka Qingqing's company, and he was bored in the later stage.
Although the time is tight this time, it is enough to squeeze it.
But when I was interviewed, I said that I was not inspired, and I came to the island country once, and I made up a documentary again, thinking about it, I was a little sorry for the reporter named Michael.
Whether it is time, familiarity, or influence, Zheng Xu feels that "Dolphin Bay" is still suitable for the Oscars.
Because the three major European film festivals have little interest in this kind of documentary about animals, they are not treated coldly there.
It's better to simply go straight to the Oscars.
He has been there once, and he is familiar with it, and he is familiar with the second film this time, and he knows some routines.
And what is the biggest difference between this "Dolphin Bay" and the original "Hot Afternoon"?
One is a documentary and the other is a drama.
There is a fundamental difference between these two films!
In layman's terms, the annual Oscar awards, the field of documentary has not been very competitive.
One is that there are few film sources, and the other is that the real Wang Bang documentary can't come out in a few years, and when a documentary like this really comes out, the probability of welcoming it is a logical big and small award.
At the beginning of filming, the American film and television production bag company was introduced, and some left-handed to right-handed funds.
So this "Dolphin Bay" is theoretically an American movie!
Participation in the Oscars is accessible.
As for public relations, you don't have to look for all kinds of relationships and spend so much money like "Hot Afternoon", just use process public relations, after all, the subject matter is here.
....................
At the beginning of December, the internal screening hall of the Emperor Entertainment Company.
Zheng Xu and Nosaka Qingqing are watching the finished film "Dolphin Bay".
After a month of post-production, this documentary, which is still very rough in Zheng Xu's opinion, came out like this.
Pinching his chin and watching the film, Zheng Xu compared it with the original drama in the player.
When shooting, if you are not satisfied here, you will change it, and if you are not satisfied there, you will change it.
These bits and pieces of magic changes add up, which is inconspicuous at first glance, and now that the film has come out, I found that it is only four or five points similar to the original drama.
In addition to the main line about dolphins, the main idea is maintained, and the rest is due to the shooting conditions and manpower, which can be regarded as unrecognizable.
The crew members of the original drama are basically wildlife protection organizations, but what about Zheng Xu's crew?
Not even himself ....
The filming technique of the original drama is the kind of representation that Americans have always had, and they are used to appearing as saviors.
The original drama of "Dolphin Bay" reflects the tragic situation of filming dolphins in the Taiji Town area and the local people killing a large number of whales in spite of international bans, and the filming is not easy, highlighting the tragedy, candid filming, and the crew's efforts to save the dolphins.
And Zheng Xu's shooting is simple, he mainly shoots the tragic situation of dolphins and the harm of eating dolphins.
Like saving dolphins in the original play, he didn't shoot it.
Because the original crew was really secretly filmed at that time!
But he's not, a lot of the shots are in the open, in the name of making food documentaries.
He's a fair cheat!
It's not the same thing as candid photography.
He mainly reflects the local incident about the slaughter of dolphins, and about some of the industrial chain behind dolphins.
Most importantly, many people in the island country do not know that there is an area in their country that specializes in the production of dolphin meat.
Dolphin meat is very toxic, and eating too much of it will be very harmful to itself and the next generation.
But these things have been hidden by the officials of the island country, and the media have not reported them.
And these points are the direction of Zheng Xu's main attack.
Now that the film has been filmed, I am waiting to fly to the United States next and light this fire!
....................
As explained in the last time at the Oscars.
In mid-December, in Los Angeles, I joined the team led by Lao Qin, who flew directly from China.
found a small local agent to release this "Dolphin Bay" in theaters.
Documentaries, released in theaters, don't count on the box office, where the money comes from is copyright, which has little to do with the box office.
It's being released here just to go through the process.
