"Blair the Witch" is just a pitiful pseudo-documentary with little investment, and it is impossible to shoot for months or more than half a year like a large Hollywood crew.

What's more, Ryan shot all online movies in his previous life, and he was known for his speed, and as long as the camera was passable, he would not stop shouting, and there was almost no time to rest.

It took the crew two days to shoot the scene in the jungle, and began to move to the town, as well as the beach, and continued to shoot the rest of the footage non-stop.

At the beginning of March, the temperature in New York was still cold, and it could make people shiver in the morning.

Ryan had to wait until the sun came out and the air was warm and some before he started shooting.

Otherwise, in case the crew is frozen and has a fever, it can only delay the filming process, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It's okay to talk during the day, but there is nothing to do at night, several actors can only endure the cold, and whenever a shot is finished, Heidi will always step forward as soon as possible, holding a steaming cup of coffee or hot chocolate in her hand.

Compared with actresses, male actors can wear more clothes, but Jessica Chastain, as the only heroine in the film, is not so lucky, she needs to show her beautiful body, and she often freezes all over her body, but she has to continue filming.

RV!

Naturally, the crew could not prepare, and the best way to heat up was a large campfire other than a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate.

Although it is not bitter, it is inevitable that there will be some resentment, maybe the whole crew, only the food, is quite satisfying.

Hollywood crews, even poor crews, will not be too harsh on their diet.

Ryan, who watched it, was speechless for a while, in his previous life, the crew could eat a boxed lunch for ten yuan per meal, even if it was a conscientious crew.

In contrast, the daily diet standard of the Hollywood crew is simply a luxury.

It makes him feel distressed, and it has all his money.

If it weren't for Helen's insistence, he would have had pizza, burgers, and Coke three times a day.

It's cheap and convenient.

Because of the temperature, every time Ryan shoots a shot, the actors have to stop and rest for a while, and then sit in front of the fire with a cup of coffee.

An actor can rest, but Ryan can't, and he has a lot to think about.

For example, the film needs at least four soundtracks, whether it is original or spending money to buy copyrights, he needs to personally select them one by one.

Fortunately, there was plenty of time.

No, the soundtrack can be left to the distribution company.

As for the soundtrack of the film in his previous life, he has long forgotten everything, even the content of the film is pieced together little by little, how can he remember any soundtrack.

As time passed, most of the footage had been filmed, and only the three leading actors in the film, a few shots of going to the town to interview the residents, had not yet been filmed.

Ryan deliberately asked Helen to find a few extras to act as residents of the town.

There are a few real townspeople mixed in, and they don't tell them about the filming beforehand, as if everything was really happening.

This was done without the help of the rest of the crew, including several actors.

There were no accidents during the period, and the filming process went very smoothly.

For a while, the crew was already ready to finish, and the calculated filming time was much earlier than Ryan's expected seven-day time, a little more than five days in total.

Being able to shoot so fast is inseparable from his experience in his previous life, and secondly, he is very well prepared, and there are only a few small accidents during the period, which has no impact on the shooting progress.

In addition, the content of the film is very simple, the number of times he shouts to stop is very small, basically one or two times can be passed, it doesn't matter if the performance is not in place, anyway, the film itself doesn't need any acting skills, as long as it doesn't show its feet.

In the previous life, when "Blair the Witch" was released, there were some flaws.

When the three protagonists get lost in the woods, they can see the road through the gaps in the trees.

Now Ryan naturally doesn't make such a low-level mistake.

Of course, this mistake is not with the director, but with the cutter, often a good cutter can add a lot of color to the film, and a very ordinary cutter can ruin an otherwise excellent film.

Therefore, the cutting rights of Hollywood films are almost in the hands of the producers, and only the top directors have the final cutting rights.

For most directors, cutting rights are just a luxury.

There are good and bad ways to do this, and no one can say the specifics.

Now Ryan is a little worried about how to find a good cutter.

A good cutter is also a scarce resource, often signing long-term contracts with major film companies, rarely taking private jobs, and the price is expensive.

Therefore, it is not so easy to find a shear with a good price and good price.

However, after the filming of the film ended, there was less than $10,000 left, and next, the film still needs a post-production soundtrack, recording, and so on.

The money for hiring a shear, it is estimated that it will not be too much.

A film shot at a cost of $40,000 can't cost tens of thousands of dollars to hire an editor.

However, these are all headaches for Ryan, and they have nothing to do with the actors.

At the end of the filming, Jessica Chastain, as the female lead, naturally calmed down.

She was excited to be a heroine for the first time, and when everyone was talking about dinner, she quietly came to Ryan's side.

Well, the money for the dinner party naturally won't come from Ryan, a poor ghost, but Helen's private treat.

After all, most of the members of the crew are from the Star Agency, and as the boss Helen, she naturally can't be stingy and needs to celebrate simply.

"Ryan. ”

"If you're missing actresses for your next film, send me an audition invitation. ”

"I mean if. ”

Jessica Chastain was somewhat embarrassed.

Through the filming in the past few days, she clearly realized that Ryan seems to have a very unusual relationship with Helen, and many things are decided by Ryan.

Ryan looked at her embarrassed and felt a little amused.

If she knew that when the film was released, she would face abuse from the entire North America, and even the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other English-speaking countries, countless media and fans, I don't know how she would feel!

Will you hate to cramp and peel him!

"Why do you want to give up your studies and become a full-time actor!"

Give up your studies!

Jessica Chastain was a little entangled, she liked to be an actress, but she didn't want to give up her studies so easily.

"I haven't thought about this yet, but as long as you send me an audition invitation, I'll definitely come. ”

Ryan naturally would not refuse an actress with a certain fame and a very cheap salary.

"Well, Jessica, if I'm going to make the next film, I'll be sure to tell Helen to let you audition. ”

"However, I advise you not to give up your studies easily, and being admitted to a good university will only be good for your future development. ”

The most important thing in Hollywood is not acting, but character design, and a good character design often has unexpected uses.

"I knew you would. ”

Jessica Chastain was overjoyed, kissed Ryan the face, and before he could react, she immediately got up and ran away.

At this time, Helen came over with a cup of coffee, looked calm, pointed to the lip print on Ryan's face, and said: "If I want you to stay away from her for the time being, otherwise when the film is released, let her know that it may ruin her acting career, maybe she will really kill you." ”

Ryan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the little girl." ”

"Besides, I'm worried about the soundtrack and the cuts. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Helen's pretty face with his eyes, "Dear Helen, I know you will definitely have a way to solve it. ”

Lucasfilm not only has the famous Industrial Light & Magic, but also a Skywalker sound company that can score and cut the film.

Helen has long been accustomed to Ryan's appearance, and said lightly: "The price of Skywalker Sound Company is not cheap, so the soundtrack can be completely left to the distribution company." ”

"As for film cuts, I can introduce you to a good cutter, but the exact price is up to you. ”

The United States also pays attention to connections, but business is business after all.

Skywalker Sound isn't much cheaper because of this.

What's more, the relationship between George Lucas, Helen doesn't want to use it often.
