Chapter 132： unexpected person

The special effects production and post-production of "The Truman Show" are different from most Hollywood films. To make the whole film look like a TV show, the place where the protagonist Truman lived from childhood to adulthood is just a studio. And not a real town.

However, it cannot be seen by the audience at first glance, so the production of special effects must be unique.

Although Ryan can hand over the post-production to Paramount to make himself more relaxed, he obviously did not choose to do so, and Paramount also needs to prepare the promotional plan and release of the film, as well as the shortlist for the Academy Awards PR.

Of course, there are also Lucasfilm's Skywalker Sound Effects Company and Industrial Light and Magic. The former needs to be responsible for all the soundtrack of the film, and the latter will work with Ryan on special effects production.

As for Blue Sky Studio, although it can also provide special effects production for live-action movies, it’s just that the focus of Blue Sky Studio is almost all on the first animated short film, and strive to complete all post-production before December and prepare for the studio’s first film. 3D animation feature film production plan.

Therefore, Blue Sky Studio did not participate in the post-production of "The Truman Show".

The tentative release date for "The Truman Show" is Friday, December 22.

The three days on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th are just in time for the Christmas holiday, followed by the long winter season, which can be screened for a long time, which is a very good release schedule.

But the post-production time left for the film is not a lot, not even enough, so we must hurry up.

So it is impossible for Ryan to let go of the post-production of "The Truman Show".

In fact, there are not many shots that require special effects in the film, and almost all of them are concentrated at the end, where the protagonist Truman rushes out in a boat.

"Dell, the color you used is too bright. It should be slightly different from the real sky, but it can't be seen at a glance."

In the special effects studio, Ryan looked at the camera in front of him and frowned slightly, feeling a little unsatisfactory.

The shot in front of me is one of the scenes where the protagonist Truman rushes out in a boat, and the sailboat hits a wall.

"The colors here are too obvious. At first glance, it looks like a huge screen instead of a real sky."

"Remember to make it very similar, and at the same time, it is almost the same as the real sky, instead of knowing it is fake." Ryan pointed to the camera in front of him, and said to the special effects supervisor Dale Gard .

"I'll take it back and redo it right away." Dale Gard said hastily.

Ryan glanced at him, with a dissatisfied tone, and said, "Hurry up, I don't have much time."

"I promise to use the fastest speed." Dale Gard's face was a little unhappy.

"It's better." Ryan shook his head and didn't say much.

The final ending of the film can be said to be the key to the whole film, and it has the finishing touch, so Ryan's requirements are very high, and the special effects production must be perfect without any flaws.

When filming this scene, it took three full days, and Nicolas Cage repeated the filming to barely meet Ryan's requirements.

While perfecting the production of special effects, Ryan also paid attention to the shooting of "Saw 3". It's not that he didn't trust Gregory Hobright, but "Saw 3" was very important to him. No risk.

However, with no skills to spare, Ryan can only make Sophia work harder temporarily and join the crew of "Chain Saw 3".

Although she is a typical literary young woman, Sophia Coppola is the person who is most familiar with the entire "Chain Saw" series of films except Ryan.

Leaving the special effects studio, Ryan went back to the hotel. Just as he walked into the elevator, someone suddenly chased him from behind.

"Mr. Ryan Gosling, please wait a moment."

A very tall woman chased up from behind and introduced herself: "Hello, Mr. Ryan Gosling, I'm Penelope Pataky, a lawyer applying from Los Angeles."

lawyer!

Ryan frowned and said, "Miss Penelope, it seems that you should contact my assistant to make an appointment and pass her screening instead of running into the hotel."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ryan Gosling, I've already contacted your assistant, Miss Sophia, but she doesn't have time for now." Penelope Pataky reached out and pinned a strand of long blond hair behind her ear , a trace of apology appeared on his delicate face.

Well, Sophia is really too busy to bother with a lawyer who is hiring.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but look her up and down. She has long blond hair and a very delicate face, with a hint of softness belonging to an oriental woman, but her figure is very tall. She should be a mixed race and looks very beautiful.

Wearing a well-fitting professional suit, she stood quietly at the elevator door, staring at Ryan confidently with a pair of light blue eyes, and her demeanor seemed to have a slight resemblance to Helen.

Such a woman should not be a lawyer, she should choose to go to Hollywood.

Ryan withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "I need you to give me a suitable reason, otherwise you can only make an appointment through my assistant."

What he needs is not a beautiful vase, but a shrewd and reliable private lawyer who will not easily agree to her because of her appearance.

"I can settle the lawsuit about the copyright of Spider-Man." Penelope Pataky said an answer that surprised Ryan.

"Spiderman copyright?" Ryan nodded and said, "I want to know how you plan to solve it?"

Penelope Pataky smiled gracefully and said, "Can we talk alone?" She glanced at the elevator and continued, "A quiet place."

"Okay." Ryan agreed, let her go up the elevator, went back to the room together, poured a cup of coffee, and placed it in front of her.

"Now you can talk." Ryan looked at her with a hint of vigilance.

Penelope Pataky sat on the sofa very ladylike, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Mr. Ryan, although I don't know why you have a soft spot for the copyright of Spider-Man."

"But with Marvel Comics' status, it is difficult to win this lawsuit quickly, and it will eventually become a long process that will take several years or even longer."

"As for me, I can quickly end this lawsuit."

"Be more specific." Ryan asked calmly.

At Penelope Pataky's age, he is at best a newcomer to the legal industry. Apart from the advantage of being a woman in appearance, it is hard for him to think of what the other party will do.

If there are some more outrageous methods, Ryan will definitely refuse them with righteous words. This is the most basic matter of principle. It belongs to the high-voltage red line and must not be touched.

Penelope Pataky didn't speak, but chose to open the lady's briefcase, took out some documents, and put them on the table in front of her.

"Here are some of my documents."

After speaking, she once again took out a stack of documents from the lady's briefcase and said, "These are the lawsuits I have handled before."

Ryan glanced at it briefly, but didn't say much, even if the things in front of him were true, it wouldn't explain anything, that's not what he wanted to hear.

"Miss Penelope, I hope you can return to the main topic instead of doing these unnecessary things."

Penelope-Pataky smiled gracefully and continued: "Just to prove that I can work, and my mother worked in the judicial department for a while."

"You can find someone to inquire about it. I believe it should not be difficult."

Judiciary!

"Sorry, I need to leave." Ryan frowned, immediately got up and went to the bathroom, took out his mobile phone and called Helen, briefly said it, and described Penelope-Pataky's situation in detail appearance.

"Penelope Pataky?"

"It seems that someone mentioned her mother. She did work in the judiciary for a period of time, and her contacts were very extensive."

"However, this woman is not simple." Helen was not talking about Penelope Pataky, but her mother.
