Chapter 406: return

Once the crew starts working, they rarely stop.

Because "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" had to complete the filming work in time for the year before, and set aside time for post-production and scheduling for next year's summer vacation, there was not much time left for Director Nolan.

Although it took more than a month to shoot, almost half of the scenes were completed.

But in the remaining month or so, there is no slack.

After filming in the UK, the crew members immediately took a flight to Iceland.

In the middle, it took another three days to transport the equipment to the mid-level lake at the end of the ninth road.

By the end of October, the climate in Iceland turned cold.

The film crew's location staff spent 500,000 yuan to find a large number of construction talents.

One hundred thousand of them is used to build a big wooden house on the mountain, labor, material costs... seventy-eighty-eight.

The rest is all smashed to the local government outreach agency.

It is guaranteed that the film crew will get the support and approval of the government for filming here.

Although the film crew can't afford the money, it's not that they can't come to Iceland to film, but the government will definitely not be too enthusiastic.

Not to mention a director like Nolan who has not yet emerged, even Lehmann was filming here, or internationally renowned directors like Spielberg and Cameron, when they go out to film, they will also meet Various difficulties and unexpected situations in many places.

For example, if the local government asks you to promote their special attractions, cultural relics, etc., do you agree or not?

Not to mention this kind of political task, what if someone disturbs the filming or the crew clashes with the locals?

It's impossible for them to file a complaint with the US police at any time during filming.

This kind of very necessary management, if something really happens, the relevant local departments will not stand idly by.

......

Lyman was on the set of "Batman: Mystery" for almost a week.

After the filming was on the right track, I felt that there were no major problems, so I had the idea of ​​leaving.

In fact, he didn't have much work on the set. The main time he spent was chatting, chatting with the actors, and chatting with the producers of Warner Bros. talk nonsense.

To dispel some people's superfluous thoughts.

But it was indeed time to leave.

Returning to Los Angeles, there are still a lot of things waiting for him.

The late stage of "New York Trip" has long been completed, and the schedule is scheduled for Christmas, and there is less than a month left. As an investor and producer, you have to go back and guard a little bit.

Also, the year-end awards for "Million Dollar Baby"; the post-production work of "Daydream"; the preview of the TV series "Prison Break"...

Looking at it, I feel very busy.

However, although there are many things, one has to take it slow.

The first is the TV series "Prison Break".

......

"Crack."

Wen Ziren clapped his hands, picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Okay, let's finish work early today, everyone should be gone, I will contact you if anything happens."

The director said something, but the actors didn't have many happy voices, they just packed their things silently.

After so many days of filming, everyone enjoyed it.

A group of marginal figures in the entertainment industry can have so many roles for them to play. For them who really want to be actors, it is very easy to be happy.

Quite a bit of a feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

why.

Today's American dramas have a very mature set of market rules.

After a few trial episodes, if there is no effect, it is likely to be cut off.

And a TV drama that has already been approved has been cut in half. As an actor, how could it be too happy.

This is what they worry about.

In one year, a TV station can successfully screen less than one-tenth of the total number of TV dramas.

That is to say.

I piloted more than ten TV series, but in the end only one or two were left.

Most of them are dramas that were released after one or two episodes and then ended up unfinished.

However, this is all the audience's choice, and it has nothing to do with the TV station.

The advantage of the separation of production and broadcasting lies in this.

TV stations can spend a small amount of money to identify the TV series with the greatest prospects, and then buy them to broadcast.

If it is self-produced and self-sold, whether it is a bad drama or a good drama, it is all in the pot, and there is not much room for choice.

Just like the saying, "All money is spent, if you don't release it, it's all a loss."

This is also the reason why many TV stations rarely see a high-quality TV series a year before production and broadcasting were separated.

Of course, the situation inside is more complicated.

For example, corruption, struggle for power and profit... all kinds of messy things.

However, Wen Ziren did not have as much thought as the actors.

He, a film director, came here to make a TV series, which was completely ordered by Lehman, otherwise, this guy would definitely not accept it.

In later generations, the only place he dealt with TV stations was when he was a TV producer.

It's because Warners paid too much money and wanted to make quick money.

And because the first two films of the "Chainsaw" series achieved good market results, Wen Ziren suddenly lost his sense of direction.

It's just that I don't want to make a sequel of the same type and I don't have a good creative idea to shoot a new movie.

I have written a lot of new scripts, but I can't even pass my own test. I don't think it's innovative enough, so I dare not show it to Lehmann.

After such a delay, more than a year has passed, and I have more time behind the scenes than I am a director.

However, he is also an active person.

There's no good idea, and I'm not in a hurry.

It's a good way to try to develop behind the scenes.

In the middle of the year, follow Zach Snyder to tinker with "New York Trip". UU reading

Lehmann has already seen the finished film and thinks it has a lot to offer.

It belongs to the spark created by the collision of two excellent directors.

Based on the story of "Train to Busan", this film adds Zha Dao's oil painting-like color style and Wen Ziren's control of rhythm and scene atmosphere.

It imaginatively turns the **** footage into a canvas-like effect, with a unique violent aesthetics.

I can vaguely see some shadows in "Sparta", especially the blurred, painted and enlarged visual effects of the flesh-and-blood lens when the zombies are biting.

Simply.

As for rhythm.

The rhythm of the original version is actually quite good.

What Wen Ziren bestows is also the camera cut.

With sharp and fast editing, the tension of the plot is expanded.

All in all, in Lehmann's view, this movie is definitely better than the original.

Wen Ziren packed up his things and prepared to leave.

After returning to Firefly Pictures, he immediately started editing the material for the third episode.

As for the pilot, even Lehmann thinks "Prison Break" is likely to be a success.

You have to come up with the facts to convince the people of WB TV.

Without data to support it, it is still a family's words after all.
