When they arrived in Los Angeles, Zhang Qian, Du Chunsheng and Jiao Guoxiong, who picked up the airport, all warmly hugged He Fang.

Zhang Qian hugged He Fang even more excitedly and lifted it up, "It's awesome, He Fang, you have won the Golden Palm." ”

"Okay, put it down, I'm not going to be a kid, don't be so affectionate with me. Isn't it a regular operation to win the Palme d'Or, not only the Palme d'Or, but also the Oscar. ”

After He Fang finished teasing Zhang Qian, he hugged Jiao Guoxiong and Du Chunsheng.

"Guys, it's time to test your results, how well you learn in Hollywood, how you can train your abilities in Hollywood, it depends on whether you can solve the problem in the next film."

"How can you prove that everything is in place, rest assured, your achievement is the Palme d'Or, if we can't even do a commercial film, then we can still do it?"

"Haha, let's go."

……

"Let's talk about it, who did we talk to?" After getting in the car, He Fang asked Du Chunsheng and looked at Zhang Qian, after all, this was a matter for the two of them.

Now Zhang Qian is following Du Chunsheng to start the whole process of learning.

No, it's not just Zhang Qian, there are five people who study production and are all working for the Hollywood production team led by Du Chunsheng.

"At present, the most suitable ones are Fox Searchlight, Focus Pictures, and Lionsgate, and you have to decide who to choose. Personally, I think I used to have a focus and a searchlight, but now I can choose Lionsgate, because Lionsgate is very good at distribution in North America and Europe, and the global distribution is slightly worse than the big six companies, and the most important thing is that they are good at distributing this kind of low-budget film. ”

He Fang smiled after hearing this, "You say so, be careful that Focus Pictures fires you." ”

Du Chunsheng spread his hands, "I just have a job in Focus, but I am now one of the shareholders of Tuanhuo Culture's American company, which is different. ”

"Haha......"

……

"Hey, Ho, congratulations, you've won the Palme d'Or." When Jason Statham came to the crew to read the script on the third day, he gave He Fang a hug.

This made him feel more at ease to cooperate with He Fang, after all, there is a big gap between directors who can win international awards and directors who don't know.

"Haha, I hope your right choice will bring you better luck." He Fang raised his eyebrows and said.

"Haha, for sure. My choice has always been very accurate, and many people who are also athletes who have retired and mixed in the entertainment industry are now not as good as me, which proves that every choice I make is correct. "Jason Statham is not modest at all.

"Well, I've seen it, because you chose to work with me, so I won the Palme d'Or."

"yes, so you have to thank me, like treat me to a drink or something."

"Ha, no problem, how about we finish reading the script today?"

"That's a great idea, and I'm glad you did."

"Haha......"

……

One of the reasons Hollywood is accustomed to reading scripts is to save money.

That's right, it's really about saving money, because when they read the script, everyone on the crew knows what they are going to do and what to do during the whole filming process.

If you don't get it right, you will be pointed out by the producer or director when you read the script.

Because reading the script can avoid many problems in advance, and even the crew will inform them in advance of the problems they may encounter during the filming process, which will make the production team prepare in advance.

When everyone reads the crew around, basically when the final shooting arrives, all departments will know what to do when they arrive at the scene, and it will be very fast, so that they can save time, reduce rip-off, reduce a lot of indifferent preparations, and if you want to be lazy, the executive producer will also criticize you or fire you in the process.

This is the reason why it is said to save costs and improve efficiency.

Fan Bingbing felt a little new to participate in the reading of this script, this behavior is basically very rare in China, anyway, I haven't heard of it, and I haven't encountered so many crews in which Fan Bingbing participated.

Before this, the Chinese crew generally revolved around the director, and the director spoke on the first day and how to fix the next day, then the whole crew would turn around.

If the director gets up late, the whole crew is waiting. If the director arrives on the set and takes the light meter to see that the sky light is not good, and feels that it can't achieve the effect he wants, then it is possible that the whole crew will have a holiday today.

There are even times when the director can temporarily change the scene and change the scene, which is uncontrollable.

Therefore, China's crew is slow to be efficient, costly, and has a long cycle.

This is one of the basic differences between director-centered and producer-centric.

Of course, it can be said that the director-centered system has its advantages, that is, it gives the director and the entire creators enough creative space.

But this has to meet a good director and main creator, otherwise it will not be a creative space, but a waste of production costs.

Talking about this, it is said that some people say that the director-centered system is a product of the times, and we should not criticize it, it has a reason for its existence.

Since there was not much budget to make movies at that time, the producer-centric system was more cost-effective? Why don't you choose the way to save costs when it's difficult, but choose the way to cost costs?

It may be because after the whole movie goes to the author's movie, whether the whole film can succeed or not depends on the director's concept.

Author's movie, if the director didn't get inspiration, how could the whole movie be successful?

Therefore, the director said that he could shoot how he wanted, regardless of the cost.

For a long time, Chinese film crews ran out of money at every turn, spent their budgets, and then stopped filming and continued to look for money.

The budget was sufficient, why did it run out? Who spends the money?

Isn't it because the director didn't shoot according to the established schedule, either filming slowly, or filming with additional scenes, changing scenes, etc.

In the end, not to mention the huge cost of making this director-centered movie, it was also made beyond recognition by the director's addition of drama and drama, and the complete story could not be cut, and then it became a bad movie.

From the 90s to the first decade of the 21st century, many domestic bad movies were caused by this reason.

But some people are still there to make a washing ground for the director center, saying that the era is like this, every era has the products of each era, and the director-centered system is the most suitable way for Chinese films in that era.

What he said was purely that he did not conduct in-depth research on the root cause of the proliferation of bad Chinese films, but just to wash the floor for the director center.

It is also a disguised scrubbing for the sake of washing the floor for literary films, and the director-centered system is equivalent to literary films, but in fact, the producer-centered system can also make literary films.

……

It's a bit far, and it's not preachy, but it's only occasionally felt.

Since He Fang said that he wanted to industrialize the film industry after passing through, it was necessary to slowly change the film production process in China from the underlying logic.

It took the entire crew nearly five days to read the script, and everyone remembered a lot of precautions.

Of course, the actors also practiced together during this time, how to perform when they appeared, and what would happen to the other party, the director would also guide them in a timely manner, telling each actor what the emotional points in this scene are and what the performance methods should pay attention to.

The 40 students in the course benefited greatly from this practice and asked their questions.

It's a great vibe.

"Invasion of Wall Street" only had 35 days of filming, so it officially started filming on June 1.

The film was set in New York, but the filming location was in Los Angeles, and they had a shooting plan that could be replaced with New York by post-production means.

Filming in Los Angeles is mainly to save costs, because it can save a lot of money on the accommodation and transportation expenses of the crew.

Many Hollywood crews go home after filming, rather than staying in crew hotels as in China.

In addition, they all work eight hours a day, and they leave after filming.

There are also weekends and holidays, which will not give you overtime.

If you go to New York to film, then these additional costs need to be borne by the crew, so unless you have a sufficient budget, you will not choose to leave Los Angeles for filming under normal circumstances.

"Alright, the units are ready. Photography starts, recording starts, scene notes shoot ......"

He Fang sat in front of the monitor and shouted with a walkie-talkie, "Action! ”

……

What kind of story is "Invasion of Wall Street" about? Something like this:

Jim is a retired special forces soldier who works as a security guard for an ordinary banknote escort company in New York, eating hamburgers and drinking a little wine with a few poor buddies after work, and living a quiet life that is not wealthy.

Suddenly, one day, everything changed, and his beloved wife was seriously ill with strange cancer and had to undergo $300 a week for gene therapy. Excess medical insurance costs a large amount of out-of-pocket expenses.

As a coverage gap, insurance companies refuse to pay for this rare case.

The insurance company's refusal to pay the claim left him with no choice but to pay by credit card.

But credit card payments can't be sustained, so Jim wants to use his savings, which are a one-time retirement payment from the military when he retires. At that time, Jim used the retirement fee to buy the MPF, because it was so good that the money could make money, which many people in the West do.

But what Jim didn't expect was that he received the news of the fund's continuous losses in real estate investment. This kind of trading fund is the kind of stock market that has risks, and there are profits and losses in trading, and it is impossible to only make profits and not lose money. And Jim's savings are just lost and not earned, and his fund agent can only show that he can't do anything.

But that's not the end of it, because Wall Street financiers manipulated the financial markets, Jim not only did not make money, but owed a huge amount of money to the bank.

Is there any reason for this? Not to mention that all his savings were earned by those financial speculators, he had to make himself lose money.

At this time, the lawyer appeared and claimed that he could win the lawsuit for him without having to repay the debt, but the principal was lost, and a large amount of legal fees were required. Jim's best friend lends a helping hand.

Eventually, the harsh deadline passed, causing Jim to lose everything he had.

Because he owes a large sum of money, his credit card has exploded, and people with poor credit like him are not welcomed in the workplace, especially security companies such as banknotes.

As a result, he lost his job, was fired from a security company, and lost the job he relied on for a living.

His wife has cancer, her credit card has been maxed out, and her savings have been lost, not to mention that she owes money. Well, now I don't even have a job.

And on his way home, his wife committed suicide in despair at home.

All the blows finally broke Jim, who caused him to become like this? That's right, it's damn capitalism, it's the blood-sucking insurance companies and the financial companies.

Filled with rage, Jim begins to awaken to his special forces skills, and he kills the bloodsuckers that have plunged him into the abyss one by one......

The movie is a tragedy from beginning to end, telling the story of a diligent ordinary laborer in the United States, who was first impoverished by illness, and then brutally oppressed by a nest of brokers, lawyers, Wall Street bankers, and prosecutors, and finally his family was ruined. Jim bravely punished the Wall Street parasites in his own way.

……

That's why at the beginning, everyone was worried about whether this film could be released, which is a proper exposure of the dark side of the United States.

This also reveals why a good American citizen can instantly become bankrupt, become a socially dishonest person, and finally become a homeless person because of a sudden change.

Of course, this seems to be a special case, but in fact this situation will intensify in the United States, because capital is greedy and unbridled, and wealth is limited.

Therefore, if the rich want to continue to make money, they can only keep getting money from the workers.

Jim in the movie is a retired special forces, but most of the Commonneng people don't have the ability to pick up a gun and kill those who suck blood.
