Director’s Legend

Chapter 275: 【Sherlock Holmes】

The shooting scene of Fengyue Films was very sweet and exciting. Everywhere was full of charm, especially the scenes in the Peerless Building. It was an uncovered convention. In addition, it was summer again, and the staff became excited and had to boil a lot of mung bean soup to lower the fire.

Shao Shuaijun is also young and vigorous, and he will often burst into flames on the set. Fortunately, he is also someone who has a target. In order to supervise Shao Shuaijun not to guard and steal, Li Xiuxiu now lives in Chase Dream Jiahe. At night, it is natural that two people roll the sheets to relieve stress.

IMAX-3D is a complex and sophisticated technology. With the process of shooting, Shao Shuaijun begins to accumulate from unfamiliar to familiar. The New Electrical Technology Research Institute, which participated in this shooting, also had ample opportunities to store the technology.

"Dancing My Life" completed its overseas box office search in July, costing less than 10 million U.S. dollars and the global box office of 160 million U.S. dollars, making Summit Entertainment a big profit. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is the July that rages in North America. Among the blockbuster films, it achieved a terrifying box office in just half a month. North America is 160 million US dollars, temporarily topping the annual box office. Its overseas has also begun to be released one after another, and it is the rhythm of looting.

In the past few years when Chasing Dream Entertainment entered Peak Entertainment, Peak Entertainment is moving towards the largest independent production company. Among several independently produced films, "Dance Out of My Life" is $114 million worldwide, "Dance Out of My Life 2" is $160 million worldwide, "Twilight: Twilight" is $390 million worldwide, and "Inception" is global 922.5 million US dollars, and the box office of "Twilight Saga: New Moon" is expected to reach the height of 700 million US dollars worldwide.

This has already thrown its old neighbor, Lionsgate Pictures two blocks away. Lionsgate Films has always been a slant sword, and likes horror movies with heavy tastes. A "SAW" is about to be filmed. , There are also a large number of horror films released every year. However, no matter how large the number is, it is not as good as Pinnacle Entertainment, which takes the boutique route. One movie is worth dozens of it.

Without Shao Shuaijun's interference, Lionsgate would acquire Summit Entertainment in the future, but with Shao Shuaijun, this situation is destined not to happen. Sometimes Shao Shuaijun thinks with wicked fun, maybe in the future, it is not necessarily true that Summit Entertainment swallows Lionsgate.

After all, the future highlight of Lions Gate Pictures "The Hunger Games" was snatched by Shao Shuaijun. One Twilight and One Hunger are the pillars of the future Lions Gate Pictures. After it is gone, it can only be supported by massive horror films. This is precisely what Shao Shuaijun is coveting. Don't underestimate horror movies. They can't generate much box office, but they can shine on DVD and bring a steady stream of income.

The momentum of Summit Entertainment was shaken by the entire Hollywood. As long as it maintains this momentum for a few years, it will definitely challenge the six major Hollywood film companies. Moreover, Summit Entertainment will seek to go public. After the huge market value, the impact will be even greater. .

In late July, Shao Shuaijun went to the United States. There were several problems to be solved in IMAX-3D technology. He needed to seek help from IMAX, and special effects companies established in North America should also participate. This special effects company is not very large, it was established under the banner of Summit Entertainment, called Summit Digital Painting Company.

Although Pinnacle Special Effects is in Hollywood, the main target of its services is the Chinese market. Of course, it will also participate in the movies invested by Pinnacle Entertainment. Summit Entertainment not only only has independently produced movies, but also has a large number of investment movies. He has the general impression of Shao Shuaijun, and he can give some pointers and participate in profitable investment projects.

"Hey, Shao, there is a movie plan, I want you to give me some advice." Shao Shuaijun, who is studying IMAX-3D at the peak of special effects, received a call from Mitchell.

"what movie?"

"A team found us Summit Entertainment, hoping that we could invest in their plan. Since they have been rejected by Warner Bros. once, we don't know if we should agree to this project. After all, the script is quite mysterious. Shao, you still Come here first, we will wait for you in the office."

Peak Special Effects and Peak Entertainment are just separated by a few walls, and Shao Shuaijun will arrive at the office in a while.

At first glance, I saw a familiar person. This familiarity does not mean being acquainted, but Shao Shuaijun knows him.

Guy Ritchie, the director of "Two Smoking Guns", was also the target of the plagiarism of Shao Shuaijun's "Crazy Stone" by mainland audiences. Guy Ritchie's works are rare in recent years, and the quality has declined a lot. In terms of fame, he is no longer as big as his "imitation" Shao Shuaijun.

He just divorced Madonna this year, which is also the hottest news about him in recent years.

"I'm here to introduce you, this is the big boss behind Summit Entertainment, Hollywood's youngest global director, Shao Shuaijun. Presumably many of you should know." Mitchell introduced enthusiastically, "Shao, this is Ghost director Guy Ritchie, these are Lionel Wigram, Mike Johnson, Anthony Peckham, Simon Kimberg, and Joe Silver."

Shao Shuaijun smiled slightly: "Hello, Director Guy Rich, I'm glad to meet you, "Two Smokers" is very classic."

"You are better, "Inception" is so exciting." Guy Ritchie also complimented.

At the moment everyone sat down, and Leonard Wigram, as the initiator of this project, began to introduce their film plan.

"Dong Shao, this is a movie about Sherlock Holmes. We are all Sherlock Holmes fans. I drew a manga "Sherlock Holmes" before. We want to make it into a movie. The script is already written. Come here. I hope Summit Entertainment can invest. We probably need a budget of more than 80 million yuan."

""Detective Sherlock Holmes"?" Shao Shuaijun raised his eyes, thinking that this is another blockbuster movie in the future. Although it is not a big hit, the theme is cool and the reputation is good. It is worth investing in. "Sherlock Holmes is A world-renowned novel character, his insight and ingenuity are amazing. I am also a Sherlock Holmes fan. In principle, I hope to have such a film."

"Dong Shao promised this?"

Shao Shuaijun waved his hand: "I will look at the script first. If this script is good, I will invest in you. Then everyone will sit together and talk about the specific investment quota and profit sharing."

After reading the script, Shao Shuaijun had to say that this script is very exciting. Of course, the biggest plus point is that Shao Shuaijun knows that this movie will make money in the future. So nodded and agreed to invest, and handed over the rest of the negotiation to Mitchell, Shao Shuaijun and Guy Ritchie went outside to chat.

Shao Shuaijun is very talkative about a geek like Guy Rich. Although Guy Ritchie is a director who can make classic movies, he can also make bad movies. However, in directing, he makes good use of nonsensical British dialogue, incredible coincidences, cool shots, fast editing and British rock and other techniques, which have deeply influenced many new directors.

Shao Shuaijun is not sure if he is a new director, because he has not yet achieved the goal of an original masterpiece, but Shao Shuaijun has his own insights into the film. Especially after his adaptations of many classic movies, they are still successful, which undoubtedly allows him to fully understand the meaning of the word "director".

It is not only as simple as guiding others to act, but also the **** of a movie, creating and perfecting a complete world.

The two people can also be regarded as having some common language, and they talked very enthusiastically about the concept and interpretation of the movie.

Guy Ritchie's movies are basically cult movies, which are cult movies. Different from the traditional film narrative and structure, he himself is a cult master. Shao Shuaijun also likes cult movies, at least relatively long traditional movies, cult movies can express the director's meaning in a more intense way.

Shao Shuaijun said: "Quentin Tarantino's films are full of outstanding imagination in non-linear narratives, such as the amazing structure of "Pulp Fiction". Your "Two Smoke Guns" also There is "Stealing and Swindling", as a multi-line narrative masterpiece, it also plays with the structure of the movie. The structure is a vital part of the cult."

Guy Ritchie laughed and said: "Actually, I am very different from Quentin. We both like to cut movies, but he really cuts movies, is a non-linear narrative. And I just turned one main line into several The main line, the multi-line narrative, is ultimately attributed to the linear narrative structure. No matter what, we are all traceable cutting screens, but your "Inception" is a wild setting, and I am in it. I saw the cinema four times before I understood the complete structure."

Playing movies, talking about ideas, time is leisurely.

Soon, the project for "Detective Sherlock Holmes" was officially negotiated, but in order to better prepare the film, Guy Ritchie will lead the team to improve the shooting location and the scenes of the script, and prepare to officially start next year.

Shao Shuaijun's life track gradually calmed down, traveling between Los Angeles and Hong Kong to supervise the production of "IMAX-3D Jade Group" and learn cutting-edge technology. At the same time, he was also reading the novel "The Hunger Games" to see how to start adapting it into a movie. He didn't pay much attention to the movie version, and he couldn't remember the content of the story.

In this way, in Hong Kong studios, one can often see that in his spare time during filming, Shao Shuaijun is holding a novel and taking notes while reading it.

As a producer, Shao Shuaijun undoubtedly delegated all power to Bai Jifei.

"Producer, I would like to ask you for advice. How can I make an expression after waiting for the bath scene?"

Shao Shuaijun was thinking about how to display a lens cover. Lan Yan had already sat there for some time, still wearing a costume, a floral skirt and a half tube top, a phoenix hairpin jade hairpin, her lips were charming and her blush was faint. A pair of winking eyes looked at Shao Shuaijun like silk, smiling meaningfully.

"The director is over there." Shao Shuaijun said, staring.

Lan Yan snorted: "No, Director Bai looked at me with weird eyes. How am I embarrassed to ask him for advice?"

I've taken it off, what's the embarrassment?

Shao Shuaijun said heartily, but he said: "Maybe you have misunderstood it. Although Lao Bai looks a bit awkward, he is still a gentleman." After saying this, Shao Shuaijun was a little embarrassed, and added: "At least recently. That's it."

"There is no righteous gentleman, look at the producer." Lan Yan pointed at a distance with his mouth flat.

Bai Jifei was talking to Zhou Fangxuezi, the actor of Dongmei. Although there was an interpreter, Lao Bai personally demonstrated, touching and pinching Zhou Fangxuezi's body. If you want to say that he is serious, the action seems to be too exaggerated. If you want to say that this is not serious, he seems to be quite involved when he dances.

Cough.

Shao Shuaijun chuckled: "Lao Bai is very dedicated. He has insights into **** scenes. You have to ask him more. A little physical contact is nothing. Actors must have this kind of dedication and sacrifice, right? In this part of the bath, you have a lot of interaction with Kinoshita and Masa. To perform well, you have to put aside those worldly perspectives, understand?"

"But, I still want to listen to your supervisor, okay?" Lan Yan said, suddenly leaning over, holding Shao Shuaijun's arms with both hands and shaking vigorously, and the shirt on his chest was about to be rubbed off.

Shao Shuaijun was sitting on a folding chair. Seeing this action, he immediately moved the chair back, and then took his arm out of Lan Yan’s arms: “I don’t have any research on this kind of scene. You can figure it out for yourself now. You can go to Lao Bai to guide you, or you can go to the bathtub with Kinoshita and Ya to study it, understand?"

Seeing Shao Shuaijun's attitude that no strangers would enter, Lan Yan pursed his lips and turned away.

This is not the first time that Lan Yan has hooked up with Shao Shuaijun. Unfortunately, Shao Shuaijun has been practicing for two lifetimes. He has resisted this level of temptation for a long time. Shao Shuaijun was indifferent even to Scarlett Johansson's peerless stunner, let alone Lan Yan.

It didn't take long before the filming started.

The scene in this tub is about the plot of Tie Yuxiang being X by Quan Honestly. Tie Yuxiang's resistance from the beginning gradually began to enjoy. Fengyue film is not a small movie, so even though the lens has to be very glamorous, the shooting process should not be too explicit.

Except for a few physical contacts, most of them were taken on loan and were synthesized in later stages. Otherwise, it would be easy to make that kind of movie.

In the bathtub, the two men shook their bodies and began to pose.

Lao Bai shouted from the side: "Blue Yan, be charming, charming, charming, charming! Kinoshita Kazuya, put your wretched expression away from me, be cold, be cold! Come, hug her waist, okay Yes, a little bit higher, a little bit higher, the action must be strong! Lan Yan, your voice, your voice must show off, show off, give me a big show! Hey, that's it! Perfect, so perfect, this figure This posture, the seductive look of this face, is amazing!"

"Director, something went wrong." The photographer shouted from the side.

"what is the problem?"

"The IMAX digital camera is out of focus."

"Pick! Why is it out of focus again! Card, stop and rest for a while! Hurry up and fix the camera!" Old Bai said cursingly.

Blurred focus means that the photographed picture has no focus. This is not the first time that the camera is out of focus. Under the manipulation of professional photographers, there will be almost no problems with the camera. But this IMAX camera, due to imperfect technology, often has a blurry lens with out of focus.

There is no better way, and the virtual focus can only be adjusted by the technicians.

"Ajun, smoke one?" During the waiting period, Lao Bai handed over a cigarette, trying to entice Shao Shuaijun to smoke.

"Don't smoke."

Lao Bai smiled, and drew it to himself: "IMAX-3D is not easy to shoot. I don't know if I can get the energy saving on May 1st next year at this progress."

"Technically, there is no way to speed up, so we can only work overtime to let the actors work hard." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
