As the slight tremor gradually disappeared, the plane into the stratosphere began to fly smoothly. Adrian took his eyes out of the plane window and looked at Dennis knight. "Why, some airsickness?"
"Fortunately, this is the third time I have been on a plane. It is inevitable that Some of them don't adapt. " Dennis, who looked a little ugly, took a deep breath, but eventually untied the safety belt and headed for the plane's bathroom.
Funny guy, Adrian laughs and shakes his head and looks across the cabin, where the executive producer, associate director and director assistant Lafayette recommends to him sit there. In addition, he has contacted acquaintances in the UK and will provide a series of help for Adrian's shooting.
This is the advantage of acquiring a film company, with a complete operation team and ready-made contacts. In particular, the Bosworth film company, which was easily selected according to the information provided by Claude, has a wide range of contacts because of its early establishment. Even several vice presidents of the Academy of film science and art of the United States can also get in touch with each other.
Don't think that Americans don't talk about human relations, but they seldom appear above the rules. Take Adrian's play for example. If it wasn't for the relationship left by his parents that had not been abandoned in the chaotic life of the previous two years, how could a new screenwriter who had not even a manager send people from several major companies to visit him?
It was 2:00 a.m. after resisting Heathrow airport, Adrian took a night's break in the airport hotel. Adrian, along with several people, as well as the actors and employees who had been prepared from the British side, came to Edwin, a small town in northeast London, and started shooting vigorously.
His "debut" is Guy Ritchie's "two big guns". The multi-line narrative style of accident and coincidence, the compact and interlocking plot, and the ubiquitous black British cold humor make people's eyes shine. Therefore, even if the investment is reduced and reduced again and again when shooting, the final amount is only 80000 pounds (Note 1), which can get a good reputation immediately after it is released.
The only problem is that this is a British film, but there is no lower cost than this film after thinking about it - even the cost of "chainsaw horror" is about 1 million. Moreover, from the perspective of maximizing interests, it is better to take out the movie after "seven crimes". Anyway, Adrian's grandfather was British, so he and his mother also had British nationality. Although they didn't stay in England for a long time in memory, their English accent was quite good, so the "first film" was also said to be in the past.
"Gentlemen, I think I should make it very clear to you. Please don't let the small problems lead to NG!" Adrian looked up from behind the camera, yelled a little exasperated, and then waved.
After shooting for three days, he simply grasped the feeling. Although he touched the camera a few times before rebirth, he had practical experience after all. Besides, he had seen and analyzed many films, and it was not difficult to shoot. That's why Adrian vowed to tell Lafayette that he would finish filming and editing in two months, and then send it to Venice for exhibition.
However, a good film can't rely on the director alone. Most of the actors, except Dennis and those who play Harry the ax and other gang leaders, are somewhat out of shape. It's no wonder that it's impossible to hire famous actors in order to save money. Although there are excellent actors in the third and fourth line, whether they can be recruited depends on luck.
"If you're going to add more lighters, Mr. Adrian, the cost may be overspending." The financial assistant came up and said with a pile of statements.
"Overspending? That's not going to work. The budget is only $200000. " Adrian can't help frowning, although he has been careful and give double the budget, did not expect to overspend, how can this happen?
Adrian felt a little headache when he flipped through the statements. Of course, there would be no problem with the statements. Every expenditure was recorded. So why did this happen? Additional investment is not a problem, but if you want to make additional investment, you must find out why, otherwise, how to copy those classic movies in the future? What the hell did Guy Ritchie do?!
Looking at the sky, it's too late. After thinking for a long time, Adrian had to wave his hand to signal the end of work.
The crash of the water stopped, Adrian long out of breath, opened the shower curtain, looking for a bath towel around his body. Came to the mirror to wipe the fog above, looking at the figure inside, involuntarily stroked his cheek.
It's been nearly half a year, although the integration was very good at the beginning, such as persuading Claude and the demeanor and temperament shown in the negotiation with those editorial assistants. But the maladjustment always exists. For example, sometimes you either feel that you are Adrian or you are Zhang haoxuan. Fortunately, from the beginning, he set his own goal, and did not hesitate to start to work hard, so far it has been completely integrated.
"The consciousness of the past should be dominant?" Looking at himself in the mirror, Adrian murmured. He quickly laughed and shook his head, so what? Even if it is not Zhang haoxuan in his previous life or Adrian in the past, I am always me, as long as I understand what I want to do and how to do it."Well, don't think about it." Patting himself on the cheek, Adrian walked out of the bathroom in a towel. Although this aspect of the matter did not end, but the meal always had to eat one mouthful at a time, and he already knew something in his mind. For example, continue to integrate the Cowell family's resources - this can't be done in two or three days; or try to find a way to visit China - frankly, he doesn't think he will see another self, which is not in line with the laws of the universe.
"So focus on this damn movie," Adrian swearing into his pajamas, then goes to the table and pulls up the lamp. "Can the light be a little brighter? Can't this hotel afford a light bulb?"
This is a typical English style small hotel. The yellowing walls and the old and rough patterns on the wainscot seem to be telling the story of its long history. With the slightly dim light, it gives people a feeling of being in London in the 18th and 9th century. Before that, it was better. The lamp was still relatively bright, which made it easy for him to type novel! But the desk lamp broke down these two days, and the hotel didn't deal with it in time, so he couldn't rush for time, which made him want to switch one minute into two minutes. He was really depressed.
Adrian pulled the lamp on his desk and turned it off. If it hadn't been for one reason or another, he would have moved to a hotel. Forget it, if you ask the assistant to buy a new one tomorrow, the efficiency of this small hotel is obviously unreliable. Moreover, the lamp may be even dimmer than the original one, which is equivalent to Wait, yellow!
He seemed to think of something, open his eyes, so straight Leng Leng looking ahead for a long time, Adrian fiercely slapped his chin. i see! Oh, I see! Guy Ritchie, you're a goddamn genius!
"You mean And then they shoot with orange filters? " The Lampman looked at Adrian, sleepy and angry. No one would be happy to be called out of a good dream.
"No, no, no, it's a layer of orange yellow filter paper," Adrian corrected. "This can reduce the use of other filters. Basically, you need to make a little adjustment to use it all the time, and then do some post-processing to make the picture look like other movies - do you understand?"
"This..." The Lampman rubbed his forehead. "I have to think about it first, Mr. Adrian."
"OK, I'll be on set tomorrow." Adrian also realized that it was rude and impolite to come so late. After a few words, Adrian left the room.
Guy Ritchie's way to cut costs is not complicated. Simply put, because the color of the whole film is relatively dark, after adding a layer of orange yellow filter paper on the filter board, you only need to slightly adjust the color to shoot until the end, and it does not affect the viewing effect at all - as long as you do some later processing. (Note 2)
Adrian can recall this point because he saw the remade HD version. Although it is different from other movies when it is shown in ordinary cinemas, the HD version that can be converted into DVD will make the whole picture seem to be covered with rust. Ordinary people don't know what's going on, but for someone who is familiar with film making, if you know about the film, then think about it.
Adrian's idea turned out to be correct. The day after he announced the break, he worked with the lighting engineer and the photographer for a long time on the set - actually a small rented office - and finally decided on this method.
"I have to admit that this method will save us a lot of things." The lighting master and the main group finally exclaimed, "you are a genius, Mr. Adrian."
"can you use it? So the next shooting is going to take time. " Adrian said, waving his hand.
Although it seems that this method can not save much, but after the whole film is finished, the accumulated number can not be ignored. More importantly, through this, Adrian recalled that more Guy Ritchie might have used cost saving details in his shooting, such as moving props around two times and shooting from different angles to turn one scene into another.
You're a goddamn genius, Guy Ritchie! Adrian once again praised in his heart. All your things will be left to me, and I will treat them well!
(Note 1: the cost of the movie on ferry encyclopedia is 80000 pounds, but after checking the foreign websites, the cost is 900000 dollars. The latter data was found after a long time. The plot is not easy to modify, so we have to make a mistake. It can be explained that 80000 pounds is the cost from the start to the cover of the camera, and the publicity and distribution remuneration is not included.)
(Note 2: these shooting methods are all made up by individuals, so don't go into details.)
