Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 354: The plan can't keep up with the changes (2 in 1 big

"This, in fact, we accidentally made a mistake when preparing the props."

Lao Gun, the deputy director on one side, scratched his head awkwardly.

"We did book a green screen, but accidentally, the supplier gave us a blue screen."

"..."

——So, is it the fault of the props group or the supplier?

Keanu Reeves felt weak for a moment.

He thought there was any reason for being tall...

"However, since blue screens are not as convenient as green screens, why do suppliers still produce blue screens?"

"Because it's useful!"

Charlotte spread her hands,

"At least, if you shoot "Spider-Man" and there are characters like the Green Devil who are all over green, the green screen will be useless!"

"At that time, a blue screen or a gray screen is the remaining choice."

"What you said is so reasonable, I can't refute it."

For a moment, this thought flashed through Keanu Reeves's mind.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Charlotte continued,

"What's more, if there are no blue-eyed actors among the actors, there is actually no problem with using the blue screen."

"Like Northeast Asia, because of ethnic issues, they don't have blue eyes. There is absolutely no problem with blue screens."

"And we are actually the same now."

Charlotte pointed to Keanu Reeves's eyes.

Indeed, Keanu Reeves, who is partly of Asian descent, has black hair and naturally does not have blue eyes.

"So, you are going to make a mistake and you are wrong?"

Keanu asked.

"That's not it."

Charlotte shook her head.

"You know, Sally's eyes are blue, and she has a scene that needs special effects."

"Then you are planning to—"

"Look for a supplier to return the goods!"

Charlotte took it for granted,

"However, before returning the goods, these wrong blue screens can't be used as waste-it doesn't cost money anyway!"

"……All right."

Keanu didn't know what to say for Charlotte's simple, simple, grandi-like idea.

He understands a little bit now, why in Hollywood rumors, Charlotte Booth’s film, with the same effect, can always save money than other directors.

——Charlotte deserves the title of "Little Money Saver".

Especially when compared with James Cameron, another "little money-burning expert", this feeling is even more obvious.

Although Keanu Reeves has never worked with this big-name director who has been a truck driver, he still knows how good at spending money.

At least, just because the props and tableware used in the shooting of the banquet lacked a white star company logo, it was required to re-order the props and re-shoot them. For this reason, they would spend an extra 2 million US dollars for this kind of thing, which ordinary directors can’t do. come out.

——Yes, this is an anecdote from James Cameron when he filmed "Titanic".

Although the movie is not finished now, the gossip of Cameron's big bucks has already spread.

"Is this for future publicity, or is Fox already expressing dissatisfaction with Cameron?"

After spending so long in Hollywood, Keanu Reeves naturally understood the truth that there can be no waves without wind.

In fact, in most cases, Hollywood crews still have a strong sense of secrecy.

Unless there is a big contradiction within the crew, most of the gossip that will circulate are "official leaks" out of propaganda needs.

Like Cameron, Keanu didn't know whether it was the former or the latter.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

All he needs to do now is to shoot "Detective of Hell" well...

************

In contrast, Charlize knows a lot about Charlotte.

"What you said just now was actually a lie, right?"

After the curious baby Keanu Reeves honestly returned to filming, the girl asked Charlotte in a low voice.

"Sally, why do you see it again?"

Charlotte looked helpless.

He felt that as the "communication" between the two "deepened", it would be more and more difficult for him to fool Charlize.

"The person next to the pillow is the best to cheat and the hardest to cheat!"

The director sighed in his heart.

And Charlize, who saw him through, has a small smug on his face.

"Because I know you very well!"

The girl's face was slightly red,

"Also, as far as my memory is concerned, Old Gun is a very reliable person and has never made such a low-level mistake."

"……indeed."

Charlotte nodded, and then whispered to Charlize.

"Actually, using the blue screen has something to do with ghosts."

"Don't you tell me, ghosts like or hate blue?"

"That's not it."

Charlotte explained,

"I just added some paint for casting spells to those blue screens as the background-just in this way, pure green is difficult to guarantee, so I used blue."

"I see!"

Charlize nodded.

Long before the filming of "Hell Detective" started, Charlotte told her that when shooting this movie, he would figure out how to deal with the unknown ghost and the famous Dracula--

"It seems that this blue screen should also be one of the methods he prepared!"

Charlize didn't ask the underlying principles in detail. She was about to continue watching, but unexpectedly Charlotte asked her a question.

"Speaking of it, Sally, is the news about "Peerless Tribulation" that I said before, is it true?"

"more or less!"

Charlize nodded.

"But it is said that Michael Bay is not particularly fond of me acting."

It turned out that soon after taking over the supporting role in "Detective of Hell", Charlize’s agent Pat Kingsley won another audition opportunity for Charlize——

A self-proclaimed artist and believes in "Art is an Explosion" Michael Bay's "Peerless Tribulation".

Of course, the name "Boom Shell" has not yet reverberated all over the world, and his hobby of explosions has not reached the point where everyone knows.

Now, the future leader of the "Transformers" series, Michael Bay, is just a newcomer to a commercial film who has only made two movies.

Although both of his films were well shot, their development was far not as rapid as Charlotte.

Even his "Break into Death Island", because the release schedule is closer to "Sixth Sense", the box office has been suppressed to a certain extent.

But even so, "Break into Death Island" is an excellent commercial film after all, and the overall results are not bad.

Because of this, Michael Bay has gradually entered the ranks of first-line directors.

Of course, there is still a long way to go before a big-name director who can get the final editing rights like Charlotte.

However, if we lose our horses, we can't be blessed.

You know, Michael Becker has two good bosses——

Don Simpson and Jerry Brockheimer.

Under the control of these two big-name filmmakers, Michael Bay’s unrestrained love for explosions and poor rhythm control capabilities have been compensated to the greatest extent.

This made him unprofitable before "Pearl Harbor".

The extensive contacts of these two producers have allowed Michael Bay to raise enough funds every time to shoot the blockbuster he wants to shoot.

"Peerless Tribulation" is his next plan after "Brave to Death Island".

"According to the information I have learned, there should be no small hope for the success of this film."

Charlotte analyzed to Charlize,

"Michael Bena's explosive style hasn't been disgusted by the market, and Jerry Bruckheimer can better help him control the rhythm—"

"In fact, if it weren't for Don Simpson, who was better at grasping the taste of the North American market, died unexpectedly this year because of taking too much drugs, I would even think this "Peerless Tribulation" would be 100% successful."

"Unexpectedly, your opinion of Michael Bay is so high."

Charlize felt a little surprised,

"When you took me to see his "Break into Death Island", what did you say "art is explosion", I thought you were mocking him?"

"Satisfaction is not enough, just tease-at least that movie is really good."

Seeing Charlize nodding in agreement, Charlotte smiled.

"My confirmation is that Michael Bay's narrative ability and rhythm control ability are a bit poor, but that is also relatively speaking. In the explosive scene, his talent and imagination are beyond doubt."

"You mean he can achieve success only by shooting explosive scenes?"

At present, the girl who is still thinking normally can't believe it.

In response, Charlotte shrugged.

"People are so successful in the future, and I am also very helpless!!"

Charlotte complained.

He felt that Jobs's phrase "Only paranoia can succeed" is actually very suitable for Michael Bay.

"Focus on explosion for twenty years!"

——This sentence is a true portrayal of Michael Bay’s life.

Take this "Peerless Tribulation" for example!

After blasting all explosive targets on the ground, Michael Bay's eyes were already on space.

Although training oil workers to explode asteroids in space is really embarrassing, but who makes the audience love to watch it?

——We workers have power!

Even if the audience in North America does not know this famous saying, this kind of setting, which is actually not very reasonable, does greatly enhance the sense of substitution of the general audience.

Anyway, in Charlotte's original world, the box office performance of "Peerless Tribulation" is very good.

So, for Michael Bay who still loves explosions in this world and still wants to send oil workers to space, Charlotte is still very confident.

And for Charlize to be able to participate in this movie, he is also happy to see it.

However, listening to the girl, it seems that her audition did not go so smoothly——

"Pat told me that the crew is actually still making a decision. Liv Taylor and I have their own advantages, but Michael Bay may prefer each other."

Charlize answered Charlotte’s question,

"To be honest, I don't really care about this movie."

With that, the girl glanced at Charlotte.

"You know, because of your previous movies, my box office appeal is pretty good among actresses. Another appearance in a commercial film in the vase will not increase my appeal."

"You are right to say that."

Charlotte nodded.

Indeed, for actresses, starring in a blockbuster in a vase can increase the influence, but it does have a limited effect on the promotion of coffee status.

Oscar gold talent is the highest means to improve the status and compelling of Hollywood actresses.

This is why compared to male stars, female stars value Oscars a higher level.

"At the same time, this is also the reason why people like Weinstein can be so unscrupulous in the face of many actresses."

Charlotte pondered in her heart, but asked on her lips.

"So, Sally, do you want to focus on winning the prize now?"

"It's not in a hurry."

Charlize gave Charlotte a charming look.

"Thanks to you, I became famous when I was 20 years old. This gave me more time to prepare for the impact on Oscars. In this regard, what I value most is the biography of Irene Warnos."

"that……"

Charlotte scratched her head.

"Is there nothing new from Patty Jenkins?"

——After discussing with Charlize before adapting the story of Irene Warnos, the serial killer, Charlotte took action.

Of course, he didn't let Irene Warnos die directly.

That's too straightforward.

Moreover, Charlize is not ready yet.

Charlotte just hired a fledgling screenwriter in the name of the Ghost Party Studio to collect and sort out the deeds of Irene Warnos in preparation for future screen adaptations.

However, what Charlotte did not expect was that this female screenwriter named Patty Jenkins, somehow, really became a friend of Irene Warnos who is currently being held.

Even, she often visits Irene Warnos in prison, and collected a lot of first-hand information from the latter, and she is about to write an autobiography for the first female serial killer in American history...

"Patti is still collecting information."

Charlize explained to Charlotte.

——The purpose of hiring Patty Jenkins to collect information is mainly because Charlize wants to play Irene Warnos on the big screen, so Charlotte directly makes her accountable to Charlize.

In this way, sometimes Charlize will know the news earlier than Charlotte.

"Patti said that Vonos is in a more and more weird state now~www.readwn.com~ is about to become a philosopher!"

Charlize gave Charlotte a strange look.

"You didn't really do anything to her, did you?"

"Sally, what I really did, you will not find out."

Charlotte curled her lips.

"People are about to die, and the words are good. With Irene Warnos' crimes, she will definitely be sentenced to death. She is in this state, and she is probably mentally prepared to start looking back on her life!"

"you're right!"

Charlize didn’t actually doubt Charlotte, she just made a joke with her boyfriend.

"However, the current situation of Irene Warnos is indeed quite strange. Especially the prison where she is currently being held is very eerie and weird—"

"you've been to!?"

Charlotte glared at his girlfriend.

"If a Hollywood actress goes to that kind of place, it will cause trouble."

"I can use Cthulhu's Disguise Technique!"

Charlize stuck out his tongue pretending to be mischievous, but seeing Charlotte still staring at her, he had no choice but to promise.

"I won't go again!"

"That's good!"

Charlotte nodded, and then asked.

"What's the eerie and weird thing you said? The felon prison where Irene Warnos is located is eerie for ordinary people, right?"

"At that level, would I specifically talk about it?"

Charlize gave Charlotte a blank look.

"I said weird, the main reason is that Susan Atkins of the Manson family still lives in that prison!"
