Chapter 726 Real shots, real shots (seeking subscription, tickets)

By the time Lehmann took the flight back to Los Angeles, the French cinema market was still hot.

The main reason is that the theme of "Untouchable" is very tricky, just to hit the soft hearts of most of the audience.

In this regard, it can only be said that the local culture adds a lot.

Take a rest.

When Lehman went to the company, he first called Liam and asked him to keep in touch with EMI, Gaomeng and Europa.

In fact, I didn't talk much about it. Overseas distribution is still very weak for Blue Butterfly Pictures. Just think about it and check it out.

Sitting in the boss chair, Joseph said hello and began to report on his recent work.

In addition to daily operations, management and some minor personnel adjustments, Joseph also knows that Lehmann's focus will definitely be the preparation of the company's most important project "The Dark Knight" next year.

And now, the actor has taken the throne, and Nolan communicates with the creator while looking at the scene and setting, and perfects the next shooting arrangement.

Lehman wondered, feeling that the speed was okay.

When Nolan makes a movie, the most time-consuming preparations are always the preliminary preparations, but the shooting is really done without delay.

According to his memory, the original Chrono-Space script has been polished for more than half a year. After the filming, he waited for several months to wait for the schedule. Now that he has something to offer, he can save a lot of things.

At least, it took only one and a half months to complete the first version of the script.

In this way, it seems that I can really catch up with the summer vacation next year-if it is too late, Christmas will be good too.

It will not be delayed until 2008...

After all, according to reason, it is better not to delay the release of the sequel. The best shooting mode for the sequel should be "Harry Potter" or "007" series. Shoot one, and take advantage of the momentum within two years. Now, when another one is released, it will definitely maintain a certain degree of topicality during the period. For the publicity, I don't know how convenient it is.

It's a pity that some directors have more ideas or the overall plan is vague in film shooting, and they are all shot and slowly increased, which seems a little more casual.

Of course, this is actually to blame Warner.

If Firefly does not take over, they will wrestle with Legendary Pictures, the creator, and even delay shooting...

Right now, "Untouchable" has been released smoothly, and while gaining reputation and reputation, it will also bring in a large amount of money. "She" is in post-production. After a few visits, Sophia has his dad to help, so he is not worried And they have already made up their minds to start with the European Film Festival first, and then return to the Oscars to expand their influence. In this regard, Lehmann mentioned a few words that the Coppola family has spare capacity and need not worry too much.

And "Museum Surprise Night" has been in the late stage for a long time. It is estimated that it will land on the theaters at the end of December, just to pick up the "300" class, continue to buy the North American box office market, and there is also the screening of "Social Edge"... ...And then, the operation of "Pan's Labyrinth" is almost at the end. When the Oscar is over in February next year, the best results will be achieved. If not, the cost will actually be recovered, that is, no money online... .... No way, after all, the plot is a bit depressing, and it's normal for the audience to dislike tragedy.

After all, it doesn’t matter if you cry because you are moved or have feelings for a certain plot, and because you cry because of the suffering and the sorrow of the world, many viewers don’t have that masochistic heart...

Even if the film is praised by many film critics, it has also won the recognition of the quality of its reputation.

Thinking about it this way, there will be more things next year--

Lighting entertainment has just begun to develop, and it is necessary to invest money in it to cultivate a mature animation production team...

After "New York City" and "The Walking Dead" continue to cultivate the recognition of zombie themes, the second "I Am a Hero" and "I Am a Legend" also need to be filmed in a planned way, at least next year the second one must be admitted to the hospital Online, those fan groups are urging in the forum every day, and they can’t ignore it, oh, no, shoot in accordance with the interest...

In addition, Lehman also has some itchy hands and wants to film again...

Lehman waved his hand, and when Joseph left, he cheered up and handled some of the company affairs he had accumulated.

Oh, time is running out.

I was busy until the afternoon, except for a short break during lunch...

Lehman got up, moved his body, still thinking-next year, when the fireflies really take off.

He has been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.

......

Nolan is now measuring his route step by step.

This scene will be shot with an IMAX camera, which is not sloppy.

Of course, there is another reason that the scene cost is too high. If the game is broken, it will not only mean that you need to re-scan the scene, set the scene, and delay the shooting.

If there are passers-by at the scene, he will definitely be shocked by such a big scene.

Because according to the filming requirements, the abandoned hospital in front of me, the hospital now bought by the crew will be blasted, and the kind of abandonment will be abolished.

In order to report related matters, the person in charge of the firefighter fund insurance even went to the scene to supervise and evaluate the feasibility of shooting.

In the unlikely event of an accident, they would be the unfortunate one.

According to the insurance agreement, no matter who has an accident in this explosion scene, it means trouble, and losing some money is a trivial matter.

What's more terrible is that, in order to be realistic when shooting, Nolan also requested that the actor's front shots should not be used as substitutes... Heath Ledger even nodded and agreed.

Trouble.

It is troublesome to meet such a director who likes live shooting.

Obviously they have consulted with professionals in the industry, similar explosion effects can be simulated with special effects, maybe the scene is more macro...

Unfortunately, Nolan is a person who insists on the concept of real shooting.

Not to mention that the shots made with special effects are a bit less "exquisite." For example, the air wave effect of blasting still has to face the explosion in person to be more impactful, and even if he can do it, he does not want .

Even if it is more economical and easier...

No matter the style of each director, Nolan does not use special effects at all, but why does the scene that can be shot actually rely on external forces?

Of course, he is not a big-handed director who doesn't care about shooting.

Therefore, at this moment, he led the shooting team to simulate the situation that may occur when shooting, to minimize the danger and maximize the feasibility.

The preset explosion point is repeatedly deduced with professional blasters.

Then there is a standard for the actors' entry time and exit time. Rehearse more and achieve the same score. Basically, there will be no accidents.

This is because the explosives used in filming seem to be very powerful, but they are all within the controllable range.

According to the envisioned design.

This scene is the turning point of Harvey's transformation-a bright person will also be swallowed by hatred, and human "instinct" drives him to the road of revenge.In other words, in Nolan's conception, no matter how great people are, it is inevitable that they will be controlled by selfish desires, but this is also humanity itself, an imperfect existence.

Therefore, rather than talking about Batman, the sequel focuses on reshaping this character, it is talking about the counterattack of heroes in such a decadent city that is engulfed by the times.

It is also because this scene is important that more measurements and calculations are needed.

Nolan stood in the open space in front of the hospital with a wide-brimmed hat on his head, looking unremarkable.

But the eyes of the people around him couldn't help but converge on him, waiting for him to give orders.

"It takes one and a half minutes to walk from the exit of the hall to this white line, and the set explosion time is two and a half minutes...should be enough."

Nolan thought to himself, but he carefully observed the left and right, constantly calculating the possibility of each step.

This area is already familiar to him, just walking back and forth, he has walked a dozen times.

But becoming more cautious, Nolan still beckoned and asked the blasting team to take a dummy model and use the track to simulate it to see the effect.

Although it is not really detonating, it is completely feasible to experiment with specific parameters on the computer.

However, some minor difficulties were encountered.

For example, because the set detonation time is always slower than the travel time, how to "carefully" go beyond the white line and then just explode this operation still has some tests on the synchronization rate.

The key problem is that when the actors are really on the battlefield, they may panic and become anxious. Many of them appear silly without exploding after the white line, or the clown’s computing power and boldness cannot be highlighted.

Of course, there is still time, you can rehearse more to reduce mistakes...
