Chatty Hollywood

"Without Charlotte Booth, the "Pirates" series would be a good commercial film series."

"However, it is precisely because of Charlotte Booth's participation that the story of this strange pirate has become classic and outstanding."

"——A great director made a typical commercial film series no longer typical."

In the Chicago Tribune, Roger Albert once again commented on Charlotte's film.

In a sense, his views are consistent with those of Robert Iger and others.

——That is, without Charlotte Booth in the "Pirates" series, it will be downgraded by one level as a whole.

"Watching the entire "Pirate" series carefully, we will find that this commercial series is full of countless non-commercial elements——"

"Multi-line narrative, color matching, and unconventional use of film language are hidden under the grand special effects scenes of the "Pirates" series. These are the techniques that ordinary businesses don't like to use."

"Why these methods are not common in business? Many producers have a unified view-because these methods are easy to make the movie box office failure."

"In short, they require the audience to spend more time and energy to understand and think."

"—They don't make money!"

Roger Albert commented in a rather aria tone,

"In the decades I have been working as a film critic, I have been trying to persuade Hollywood producers to tell them that this view is wrong."

"However, the truth is that after so many years, I am almost convinced—"

"Since the "Star Wars" era, the difference between commercial and artistic films has become more and more obvious."

"——Many of the very subtle techniques in art films will always appear to be extremely clumsy when used in business. These problems, even those great directors with very deep artistic accomplishments, are still powerless."

"So, gradually, I also began to think that commercial and art films, and even ordinary story films, are completely different and need to follow different rules."

"Until my Charlotte Booth movies, especially the "Pirates" series."

"He proved to me that in business, many film techniques are not unusable, and—"

"Commercial production is not impossible to tell a complicated story."

"The point is, as a movie creator, you must speak with your heart--"

"Of course, Charlotte Booth's various narrative techniques used in the "Pirates" series also made me realize that in commercial productions, many film languages ​​and narrative methods are different, especially how organic Combining special effects technology with narrative is a problem that commercial film directors must face."

"Fortunately, Director Charlotte has set a good example for them!"

After reading this rare long talk by Roger Albert, Charlize looked at his husband with his emerald green eyes.

"It seems that the thumb man has a high opinion of you!"

"This is normal."

Charlotte leaned against the sofa with a Ge You paralyzed, disapprovingly authentic.

"It's actually the **** that determines the head."

"How to say?"

"Although it can be said to be a scavenger and parasite in the film industry in essence, film critics have always hoped that their comments can guide the development of the film industry in a powerful way."

"That's true. The film critics often give people a sense of superiority."

Thinking of some of the critics' attacks he had encountered before, Charlize nodded involuntarily.

"However, at least in the field of literary films, their influence is really not small."

"To a greater extent, it's just because the age and experience of most film critics nowadays is very close to the audience of literary and artistic movies."

Charlotte waved her hand.

"Older, slow paced, thinking that I have seen the world well"

"The last description is a bit vicious!"

Charlize squinted at Charlotte with a smile, but Charlotte didn't care.

"That's how it was originally-who can really see through the world? Even if there is, it definitely won't be in Hollywood."

"This is true."

"Naturally, but this will not affect people's slogans-such a person can be a defender, a member of Congress, or a film critic."

""

"In short, many times, things are like this."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Film critics want the film industry to develop according to their expectations, just as the US government wants everyone to believe in the American dream."

"The problem is that although things are not like that, we can't deny it—just as we know that the chances of success of the American Dream are actually about the same as winning the lottery, but we have to make a movie to promote it."

"Because that is right theory to a certain extent!"

Charlize pointed out the problem sharply, and Charlotte nodded.

"Yes, truth!"

"Situation is something that must be combined with corresponding effective means in many cases, so that it will not be empty talk, but it is difficult for people to deny him."

"Because it is right theory!"

Charlize smiled.

"Justification is something that makes people hard to refute. However, if there is no evidence of real examples for a long time, the faces of people who hold the truth will always be hot."

"That's why Roger Albert admires the "Pirate" series that I modified so much!"

Charlotte finally brought back the topic that was crooked far away.

"Hollywood's commercial films, especially, have run counter to the expectations of film critics for a long time. Now that they have an example of "Pirate" that can support their views, they naturally want to publicize and quote them-although I made " It wasn’t intentional to do this when "Pirates"."

"Isn't it?"

Charlize was stunned.

"I thought you wanted to pursue better artistic achievements after you achieved great success in the business field?"

"Sally, according to your understanding, am I so literary?"

"No, you prefer technology."

Charlize answered it all at once, but, with her answering that charming and charming glance, Charlotte felt that there was something in her words.

"In short, I will use a lot of tactics that are not commonly used in conventional business in the "Pirate" series, and more are actually forced by the plot."

"Although it's not too complicated, but compared to ordinary commercial movies, the "Pirate" series, especially 2 and 3, is really not a very typical story structure. In this case, how to tell the story well will become a It's the point."

"So you used a lot of new techniques to strengthen the narrative of the movie?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"Of course, compared to ordinary film directors, I have a special advantage-spells."

"Can spells help you explore the language of the lens and the narrative of the film?"

Charlize was a little puzzled by her husband’s statement, and the latter explained with a smile,

"Don't forget, although I still dare not go deep into the real abyss of meaning, I have made great progress in my exploration of dreams this year—"

"What does this have to do with dreams?"

Charlize still didn't quite understand, Charlotte had to shook her head.

"In short, I can find a group of typical audiences as test samples, and let them watch the various trial versions of "Pirates 3" that I edited repeatedly in their dreams."

"what!?"

This statement of Charlotte surprised Charlize.

Seeing a South African girl with a lot of her husband's magical abilities, she didn't doubt it. On the contrary, she knew the film industry deeply, and she immediately realized the value of Charlotte’s new ability.

"The reason why the film industry is a relatively risky industry is essentially because the cost of trial and error is too high—"

"Ordinary commercial films, from the initiation of the project to the release, generally take about two years, accumulating a lot of capital and manpower-this is even more troublesome than building a skyscraper."

"In this case, the success or failure of a film may affect the life and death of a company, and even the careers of all film participants."

Having said that, Charlize looked at Charlotte,

"Therefore, Hollywood commercial productions are so similar and conservative, and directors who have successfully proved themselves so many times like you are so popular."

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"Because of this high cost of trial and error, it is important for talented directors to shine, and those routines that have been proven effective by the market are even more important. However—"

Charlotte pointed to her nose.

"For me, who can "organize" movie screenings in people's dreams and revise them in advance based on the results, things are not like that."

"You are like this, which is equivalent to knowing the audience's feedback on the film in advance, and then you can modify it in advance in a targeted manner, right?"

Charlize expressed his understanding,

"Actually, since you got the paper a long time ago, you can automatically generate a simple movie signal animation based on the script, and you have embarked on this path. Now you can find the audience in your dreams for trial screenings in advance. It's just a matter of course."

"Yes."

Charlotte smiled shyly.

"For me, good movies are really changed-Sally, I'm sorry, I'm not the kind of truly talented director, I let you down."

"How come, fool!"

Charlize stretched out his slender fingers and gently squeezed Charlotte’s face.

"What I like is not a genius, but a liar who dare not drink alcohol. What's more, no matter what method is used, you filmed the "Pirates" series after all, didn't you? In contrast, I think more. I know, how many trial screenings did you hold in your dreams before you modified "Pirates 3" to the point it is now?"

"168 games."

"so much!?"

Charlize was taken aback.

"No wonder the narrative and lens language of this "Pirates 3" are so mature, there are almost no shortcomings-it turns out that you secretly tried and modified so many times!"

"That's why I said that a good movie was modified!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Only you can say that"

Charlize vomited weakly, and then she thought of a key question—

"You bring a lot of audiences into the dream world and organize movie screenings. After they wake up from the dream, won't they remember the content of the movie?"

"of course not."

Charlotte smiled.

"This is the same as most people who don’t remember the content of the dream after waking up from a dream. What's more, I will specifically clear the audience’s dream memory after the dream screening is over—this ability, I’m in I already had it when I created the "Master God Space"."

"That's true."

Charlize breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, the movies you make in the future will be modified repeatedly and carefully crafted through dreams like this?"

"That's not it."

Charlotte shook her head.

"Only those movies that are particularly interesting and make me feel special, I will do this-as for general movies such as "Blackjack" or "Now You See Me", I will only modify it a few times. NS."

"What about this "Gravity"?"

Charlize asked.

"Of course it's meticulously crafted!"

Charlotte said authentically without hesitation.

——He is still very alert and has a strong desire to survive.

"Sally, "Gravity" is not only a full 3D movie, but also a movie I specially prepared for you. How can it be meticulously crafted?"

"Who knows if what you liar said is true or false?"

Charlize gave Charlotte a white look, but her pleasant expression revealed the girl's inner thoughts.

During this period of time, Charlotte has completely finished the post-production of "Now You See Me" and "Winning Blackjack", and began to bring Charlize and the newly formed crew members to the preparatory work of "Gravity" ——

"With the help of nasa, we have made sufficient preparations for the scientific setting of the story and the furnishings of the space station."

Alexis, as the leader of the technical special effects department, reported to Charlotte,

"Whether it is using real-life models or computer special effects, our special effects department can handle it. However, how to reflect the feeling of weightlessness in space, I have not yet worked out a plan that is more in line with your expectations."

"Weightlessness problem"

Miss Valkyrie's report ~www.readwn.com~ did not exceed Charlotte's expectations. In fact, even the heroine Charlize knows very well that when shooting a space movie, expressing weightlessness is a constant problem——

"In previous films about space, the easiest way to shoot weightlessness was to shoot underwater."

Alexis continued to explain,

"After all, with the buoyancy and resistance of water, the underwater images are processed well, and there is indeed a feeling of weightlessness in space. But first of all, underwater shooting cannot truly express the actor's expression-the expression of holding his breath and trying to open his eyes is obviously It’s completely different from a performance in a space environment."

"Secondly, the complex reflection and refraction effects of underwater light and shadow also make it impossible to simulate underwater space operations in a spacesuit."

Having said that, Alexis spread his hands,

"According to the script, this is exactly what we need for shooting here."
