Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 20: Great dictator

   "It's hard to say that it means—"

   Faced with Charlize’s question, Charlotte gave a wry smile.

   "He is a typical Hollywood man. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely not let it go. But he is not the kind of person who will be stunned by the lower body, and this is his first time as a director..."

   "So the key depends on how much he values ​​this independent directing opportunity and how serious he is, right?"

  Charlize understood what Charlotte meant.

   "Actually, you don't have to worry about this! After all, even if a big man wants to take the opportunity to hunt, the heroine is the first to target. You are a bit too self-conscious."

   Charlotte comforted Charlize in his unique way, and the blonde girl agreed with him:

   "Indeed, a small person like me might not even look at it, but the reverse is possible..."

   "You mean the possibility of being more unscrupulous because you face small people?"

   Charlotte can't help but feel a headache,

"This kind of possibility does exist. In fact, in such low-cost horror films, the degree of non-compliance of the powerful characters in the crew is second only to those of independent literature and art films. There is no way. The power is limited, and the upper management of the production company does not pay attention at all, which gives the middle-level control of the crew the opportunity to get in and out of hands. Really large-scale commercial films involve too many interests and checks and balances. These messes are instead. Less. Anyway, let's adapt to the circumstances!"

   In the end, Charlotte can only give this not a solution,

"Speaking of, Sally, although I don't really appreciate it personally, to be honest, there are too many actresses in Hollywood who are willing to unbutton the button when faced with opportunities, even Julia Roberts is no exception. You are In this regard, what is the purpose of such persistence?"

   Charlotte knew his question was a jerk, but he still couldn't help asking. After getting along for a while, he has confirmed that Charlize, the blond girl sitting on the carpet, is indeed the same person as the next generation star Theron. Such a beauty who has the potential to become a big star, although she has saved her, one is not a handsome guy who is a fanatic, and the other is not a powerful person, but although the other party's recent behavior is not obvious, there is indeed a deliberate approach to bring them closer. The meaning of relationship, why is this?

Charlotte doesn’t believe in love at first sight. He has long passed the age when he still believes in fairy tales. Moreover, if it is love at first sight or gratitude, she can express something as early as when she had completed exorcism for Charlize. Why? After meeting again, did this feeling become obvious?

   He is not a suspicious person, but in the face of Charlize's unusual performance among women drifting in Hollywood, he always feels unreal. Is there really persistence, or is it acting, but actually has another plan? Charlotte felt that now was an opportunity to figure it out.

   "What is the purpose of persisting like this?"

   The blonde girl didn’t seem to notice Charlotte’s intentions, her eyes were dim, she seemed to be lost in memories,

"Actually, I have asked myself this question more than once. Honestly, I have never got an answer. It may be just pride! Although reality will eventually shatter our pride to the ground, and mix our self-esteem and step on it together. In the mud, but if possible, I still hope I can hold on for longer."

   "...Well, I wish you can persevere until the day of success!"

   Although it was not the answer she wanted, Charlotte felt that there was no need to go further. After all, let's not say it sincerely, if it is acting, Charlize can be considered to be a super level performance if it is acting.

  ——Anyway, I will see people’s hearts over time, and sooner or later I will understand.

  Charlotte nodded, and brought the topic back again.

   "Although my artist is not a big man in the crew, I can still say something. If there is anything, I will help."

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

   "What do you think you are a big man, you actually point fingers at my script!!?"

Although Charlotte told Charlize last night that he was not a big man in the new film crew, but at the new film preparatory meeting the next day, he discovered that he was not the only big man in the crew. . Or, there is only one big man in the crew—

"You are just a pile of **** sent by the new line company to help. You only need to do a **** thing to do-stay there and do nothing, it stinks! Or let me get rid of you!! "

Although according to the rules, the producer of the new film, Anthony Westwood, should have at least as much power as the director in the crew, but the current situation is that the director Alan B. Mike Elroy is pointing his nose. , Put his scolding dog bloody. But the poor producer can only smile and do it himself.

   "Ellen, Ellen, don't get excited! I just think our budget seems to be insufficient compared to the scene requirements in the script. This doesn't seem to be a big problem, right?"

   "Of course it is a big problem!"

   The director was unhappy,

"Mr. Producer, I remind you! I’m Alan Mike Elroy, and I’m not Alan Smith, who was specially made up to wipe the **** of you producers. Please don’t play you in my crew. Style!"

  ——Alan Smith is the producer's excessive interference in the filming of the film, which caused the director to be angry and break up the film. He was unwilling to sign at the end of the film to admit that it was his own work. The virtual name used by the producer to wipe his butt. This "great director" has a lot of works, and many masterpieces such as "Dune" and "Yin and Yang Devil" have been attributed to him. Director Allen is now offering this name, basically pointing to the nose of producer Westwood, asking him to either shut up or just come by himself.

"I do not have--"

   Facing this very serious accusation or provocation, Westwood did not explode like ordinary producers, but wanted to explain. But before he could finish talking, Allen interrupted him again:

   "Also, regarding the budget of this movie, I remember it was..."

   Mr. Director pointed his nose with his thumb,

   "Do you have any comments on this?"

"……there is none left."

   Westwood looked a little dejected.

  ——The composition of this crew is not quite right. The producer who should have a say in budgetary funds was speechless by the director when talking about money. How is this going?

   Charlotte was wondering if he was on the thief boat by mistake, but saw the director who had just taken the producer to stand up and stood up:

"Gentlemen, indeed, as Mr. Westwood said, our budget is a bit tight, but the problems in this area are not insurmountable! On the one hand, if everything goes well, new funds will be added later, on the other hand. On the one hand, I believe that with your abilities and experience, it’s okay to make some contributions to saving money, especially the artist in charge of scenes and props, Mr. Charlotte Booth. I’m right. Bar?"

"this……"

  -Although I really want to answer "You don't have the money to make a movie", Charlotte also knows that saying this is basically the same as submitting a resignation letter directly. Of course, he did not directly agree, after all, once he agreed, the pot would be completely carried on his body.

   "Of course there are ways to save money in terms of scenes and props, but this requires a specific plan that can only be given after the scene is completed. At present, I can't give a specific answer to whether I can save or how much I can save."

   Charlotte tried to make a rigorous and stereotyped expert expression, but everyone in charge of the department at the meeting understood that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ he was actually playing tricks. Of course, this slicker is very technical——

  The so-called scene view, in simple terms, is actually to check the scene to be shot to see if the desired effect can be achieved. It’s just a trivial matter if you don’t do a good job of the scene before shooting, the scheduling is unreasonable, the scene noise is serious, and even when shooting historical dramas, it is only a trivial matter to shoot very modern buildings like tower cranes in the background. What’s more troublesome is that the original scene script Many lenses may be completely invalid due to various problems such as angle and lighting. Therefore, in the preparation stage for filming, the directors, lighting, camera and other departments must participate in the scene, so as to be aware of it.

   As for the setting work that the artist is responsible for, Charlotte, there are many things to do during the scene. How to set the scene, what props are needed, and how to arrange the props must be confirmed after the scene is on the spot. If you encounter situations where you don’t have the conditions for real-time shooting, you still need to set up the scene manually-in order not to create the five-cent scene effect that makes people feel like they are worn out at first glance, many details must be paid attention to, and it is necessary to adapt to local conditions. .

From this point of view, Charlotte’s statement that she must be able to provide specific funding needs is true. Of course, experienced artists can predict a rough figure, but if you face harsh conditions The requirement to offer this kind of argument like "discuss in the future" is indeed the only way to delay time and play tricks.

   "Well, let's wait until we finish the Kanjing before discussing this issue!"

  Director Allen is of course dissatisfied that Charlotte did not directly agree to as he hoped, but as mentioned earlier, he really has nothing to do in the face of this kind of solemn justice.

   "Then let's talk about the issue of Kanjing and casting..."
