Who are the 407s?
Seeing Zhang Mo's expression, He Fang didn't expect that he was really guessed by himself.
Zhang Mo made a mistake that all directors make, for fear that others would lose all the things he had carefully filmed, or not be able to do it well.
Maybe it's the first time I'm a director, and I'm very nervous about the quality of my work, so I have to explain and explain to the editor, and if the editor has different opinions, it will blow up, and then I seriously suspect that the editor will break my own things.
"Alright, let's go, I'll invite you to coffee." He Fang said and pulled Zhang Mo away.
Zhang Mo also understands what he means, she has been the executive director of He Fang for several years, can she not know what He Fang's thoughts?
So after she sat down with He Fang, she took the lead in speaking before He Fang could open his mouth.
"Director He, aren't you afraid that the editor will cut your movie bad the first time you make a film?" After Zhang Mo said this, He Fang smiled.
"Broken cuts? How can it be sheared? Anyone with a bit of a level of editing knows what kind of lens is more appropriate for what situation, unless the editing is very unprofessional. This is the first point, the second point, what are you afraid of will be cut? After they cut it out, not only you, but also the company will check it first, and only after passing everyone's opinion will it enter the next procedure, what are you afraid of they will cut bad? It's not the final film. ”
He Fang's words made Zhang Mo smile awkwardly.
"I can understand your feelings, sometimes people are like this, they don't feel at ease to give their things to others to make at will, and they want everything to be done according to their own ideas. However, this is not the optimal solution, and the third creation with editing will have unexpected effects in the work.
You may not necessarily like it, but the work will definitely be preferred by the audience or the judges. That's why there is an editing job, and if editing isn't useful, then why create such a position? Wouldn't it be better to let the director do it alone?
You have to get used to this kind of thing, and you will be relieved when you get used to it. Of course, you also have to get used to believing in others, the crew is like marching to war, if the soldiers don't believe in their comrades and refuse to hand over their backs to their comrades, then how to cooperate, how to make the results 1+1>2? ”
He Fang enlightened Zhang Mo, and Zhang Mo humbly nodded in acceptance.
"Director He, I understand, it's just ...... I'm not used to it yet, so I'll try not to interfere with the editing. ”
"Well, there's something I'm not trying to strip you of, and I'm the same. However, why can Hollywood do such a good job in the quality of film and television works? It is they who learn how to bring the wisdom of the crowd together and finally turn it into a single work.
It's a good way to work, we have to learn, and that's why I have to restrain my desire to give up the editing rights. Now it seems that most of the time having the editor cut it is basically what I envisioned, and there are even some areas that are more advanced than I thought. ”
He Fang said with a smile.
"Well, Director He, I understand."
"Okay, you can digest this matter slowly, I believe you understand the reason, but you haven't gotten used to it yet. Tell me what difficulties you still have in filming "Breaking the Sky", and what do you need me to assist you with? ”
"Actually, it's not ......"
After He Fang communicated with Zhang Mo for a while, he went back to the company, and then arranged to visit the crew tomorrow and invite everyone to drink.
Of course, before the visit, our Tiemei came here.
Tie Mei is worthy of being Tie Mei, she is really iron, she seems to be sweet and soft, but her combat effectiveness is super strong, and she only slept for four hours after 300 rounds of fighting with He Fang.
When Tie Mei went to the crew, He Fang also went to the company slowly, and this kind of day of letting go of tense nerves was easy and comfortable.
When he got off the pole, He Fang went to the crew of "Breaking the Sky" and bought some frozen drinks to see everyone.
Because of He Fang's arrival, the young actors were very excited, and they greeted He Fang warmly.
Especially a few beauties from abroad, there is no thigh of an international director in their country, if they can reach the thighs of any country, they can really take off.
Therefore, they used the Chinese that had begun to be fluent to communicate with He Fang, and coaxed around He Fang.
How can they not know their purpose? Of course, it's clear.
In the past, He Fang didn't have this mind, after all, he was very busy, how could he have time to play any games and methods with unfamiliar women.
But where does he have time now, it doesn't matter, if people want to come up, then they will meet them, anyway, he will not promise anything, even if he wants to give resources at most to some resources for other projects of the company.
For these people, if he doesn't play, others will play, and they will go to others.
So the conclusion is that if you don't play for nothing, you can't play, of course, he won't take it all, you can play, but you can't abuse it, this is his principle.
In the end, he picked and chosen, and that Thai Pingcaina was quite eye-catching, with a good figure and a pure person, which suited his appetite.
So, there is no need to talk about the rest of it.
In short, in the face of such an opportunity, Ping Caina has done her best, and she has won the true inheritance of Thai massage techniques, which can be said to let He Fang experience another different taste, which is really cool.
No wonder it is said that Thailand is a man's paradise, in Thailand there is no you can't play, only you can't think of it.
In the following days, He Fang lived a life like a drunken dream.
Every day, the company clocks in, drinks and eats with some leaders and celebrities, and then discusses life with Tiemei and Ping Caina, and finally spends two hours every day to establish a parent-child relationship with two children......
The summer vacation of 2015 passed quickly, and as soon as September came, He Fang flew straight to Los Angeles to prepare for the filming of "Ghost in the Shell" with Paramount.
Although the producer of this movie, Avi Aradd, has communicated with He Fang many times, it is the first time that He Fang has really come to the scene for a meeting and discussion, and He Fang, the director, is really perfunctory.
Although he was very perfunctory, everyone didn't really put him on the air as a mud bodhisattva, where he should be respected, where he should be respected, where the power should be, he didn't dare to be greedy at all.
Although He Fang has a variety of problems with the West, the culture of contract observance established by others is still good, at least their mainstream culture and the people's blood flow with the observance of contracts, which is an important part of public order and good customs in their culture.
Not to say they obey it well, but at least it's that serious.
He also knows a little bit about Western laws, for example, their laws require the protection of labor rights, so the store must not operate beyond 9 p.m., of course, if there is a customer, it can be served until the last customer leaves. As a result, many stores close at 9 p.m.
But as soon as the Chinese went, they were surprised to find that Chinese stores could operate until 12 p.m. Why? Because Chinese merchants take advantage of the loopholes of the law and 'serve until the last customer leaves if there is a customer', Chinese shopkeepers let waiters or pro-moon pretend to be customers, so that they can extend their business hours.
Although everyone knew that this was a petty trick, they didn't break the law. Then, Westerners have opinions about Chinese merchants and feel that Chinese has brought them vicious competition......
Far away, the roughly meaning I want to express is: Hollywood's rules stipulate certain powers of the director, once the crew determines someone to be the director, then the other person who should be the director's power will not move. Because if the director thinks that his rights have been violated and the lawsuit can be won, the producer will suffer losses as a result. The reason why they are like this is because they have such a culture.
Some people may say that the Chinese crew also signed a contract with the director, so can the director also go to court?
This is not possible in China or in East Asia, first of all, if your director wants to fight a lawsuit with the producer, you may not be able to win, as long as the producer determines that 'the director's ability does not meet the requirements of the producer', you can be invincible.
Secondly, the director, you dare to file a lawsuit with the producer, don't you want to mix in the circle? A director like you who dares to go up with the producer, how dare other producers invite?
In the end, whether you are the director right or not, a lawsuit with the producer will not take advantage of public opinion and will attract criticism.
Therefore, the director would rather suffer a dumb loss or settle privately than go to court. Just as the lawyer litigation industry in East Asia cannot be as developed as in the West, everyone is not used to using the law to solve problems because it is useless. It is possible that you have won through legal means and got back what belongs to you, but you have no room to survive in the industry.
The reason for this is that there is no such culture in East Asia. In the West, when the director and the producer have a lawsuit, public opinion is open, and your peers will not exclude you, and they will invite you or invite you.
Therefore, because of the existence of this culture, some people in the West use legal means to protect their rights and interests at every turn, and after a long time, the relevant partners will not touch the rights and obligations in the contract.
If the party signs a contract with Paramount, then Paramount will abide by the contract and guarantee the relevant rights of the party.
"Hey, he, you're welcome, we're almost ready, you see if there's anything else to adjust, there's still time to adjust, and it's your job to do the next." Avi Arad.
"Ha, Avi, thank you for your support, I hope we can work together happily." He shook hands cordially with each other.
"Of course, that's what I thought."
"Okay, then give me two days to fully understand your preparations, and then I can check and fill in the gaps."
"No problem, by the way, there is a small party tonight, the crew welcomes you, and please join on time at seven o'clock in the evening."
"Thank you so much, I'll be sure to be on time. By the way, who are they? ”
