Chapter 384: Sharpshooters and Workaholics
The shooting seems to have just begun, but everything has come to an end...
It's been filmed until now that Peck has just come to the crew for the first time, but he is here to ask for the release date.
"Boss, you have to give me an exact time and exactly when will it be completed. And Christmas is released, to be honest, this is not a wise choice."
Before Chen Tian could speak, Kong Yiji immediately shouted, "When will it be completed? Peck, your words are really redundant. I can tell you that this drama will be completed in less than five days." Peck immediately opened his eyes and said fussed: "Five days, you didn't lie to me? Oh my God, it seems that it has only been a while since the hot casting that was hyped before. Now others think that the filming has just started, and it has entered the final stage?!"
Chen Tian ignored their surprised eyes and asked, "You just said that Christmas is not suitable. Have you got the release schedule for the second half of the year?"
Peck came prepared and was naturally well prepared. He handed him the schedule for the entire North American schedule for the second half of this year and next summer. Chen Tian didn't have the time to check out the movies that he had no impression of at all, and turned it directly to the Christmas schedule, "Wow, I really don't give you face."
No one wants to let go of Christmas, but after seeing the giant "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings", 80% of companies will rationally choose to avoid the edge. Only those small production companies that are forced to release will confront them head-on.
The whole November 2002 was basically the world of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". In December, the release of "Lord of the Rings 2 Twin Towers" was about to be held. Oh. I almost ignored "007: Who's Confrontation". This was the last experiment of veteran movie star Pierce Brosnan James Bond. Even if I knew in advance that he did not shine in the entire 007 series, no one in this world would ignore 007.
Frowning, he found it was really difficult to make a decision.
Pick up the pen and draw a circle on the fourth week of "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret", the third week of "007 Who's Confrontation", that is, December 1. This date is actually not optimistic. The black | who once created a box office miracle in 1999, helped the boss commit crimes, and the sequel to the comedy "Boss Leaping Aside" will premiere, and there is also a Spanish-language film "Black Gold Empire" that is said to have a good reputation, which will also grab the market...
Next week, "Star Trek: The Goddess of Nemesis" will also be released, and then "Lord of the Rings 2" will be released.
Close the information. He said: "It's scheduled to be released on December 1st, and the premiere will be scheduled one day in advance. Peck, please make more public relations. The two movies released at the same time may not be comparable to us, so we have to seize the initiative. If we can arrange at least 3,000 theaters, it will be the biggest victory."
Peck suddenly grinned his teeth, "Boss, you might as well kill me. Those theater dealers will definitely drink my blood."
Chen Tian smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You can. "The Matrix" brings them such a huge profit. It doesn't matter that my movies will not be as good as others. If it is really difficult, the conditions can also be floating. Depending on the attendance rate, if "The Black Gold Empire" and "The Boss Leaning 2" cannot achieve the effect, we have to grab their theater."
This requirement is very rude, especially when time is so close. After all, the United States is not China, and it can be inserted into the movies at any time. Fortunately, Chen Tiandu has already made the theater businessmen tricked over the years. Even if it is a small production, it should be treated as a big director.
"Okay, now we are the most popular again. Let them see how the little girl is pregnant should be filmed."
If you use the attention and expectations you receive to eliminate the cost, then the one at the forefront is "Juno". This is also Chen Tiandu. Chen Tiandu is not fighting in the cruel Christmas period for the first time. He is in a bunch of blockbusters of different types, and he must attract enough attention for his small movie. So before filming, he was shameless and under the banner of "Batman" and also recruited a bunch of big names to come in to play.
Now there is the "Queen of Star Wars", the "Unsense Princess", the new generation of "Bruce Wayne", and the theme of a girl's pregnancy with unprecedented precedent... Well, it's time to be content.
If the release date is determined, the publicity plan will naturally keep pace with the times. A movie does not mean that everything will be fine after the filming is completed. In the entire movie project, it is only one-third completed.
Movies are never a matter of one person.
Everyone will do their own jobs, and anyone who leaves will be difficult to move.
Chen Tiandu is also glad that he can truly lay a foundation in Hollywood surrounded by wolves. He never thought he could compare with the seven majors of Hollywood. Now he can't become the seven majors of Hollywood, nor in the future. As he grows bigger and bigger, the subsequent suppression will become stronger and stronger. DreamWorks is comparable to the current matrix scenery, but what is his final outcome?
Chen Tiandu always takes this as a warning, and his interests are shared with many bigwigs and they have a good relationship with each other.
But it is the logistics site of "Matrix" that allows his thinking to change so smoothly into movies and appear on the big screen.
Chen Tiandu's attitude is: "Do a good movie, do a good job in publicity, do your own work, and let the audience decide the rest."
Now that the release is scheduled, the shooting is naturally easier.
However, after the news spread, the crew's filming was no longer quiet, and even the Toronto media came to hear about it. Some were to see the Queen of Star Wars and Christmas Chen from a close distance. They were lucky enough to chat with "Neo" and get a signature and a photo.
"Man, I seem to see Anne Hathaway... I love her role in "The Princess Diary". I think she is Audrey Hepburn."
"Oh, please, she has so many mouths, so she has no face of Audrey Hepburn."
"Why is Christian here, what role does he play?"
"What an idiot, he plays Batman."
"Batman? Hey man, who is the idiot between us? This is an urban campus movie. Does it have anything to do with Batman? Is it a spoof?"
As soon as he said something, a circle of people around him looked at him sideways and distanced himself from him.
"It's obvious that you are an idiot. Idiot. It took so long since I've been online, and you're almost out of touch with society."
“…”
The preparations were finally completed, and Chen Tiandu picked up the guide and shouted loudly, "Cleaning the scene, clearing the scene, idle people, please leave the scene. The shooting is about to start."
"Nate, try to get it all over. These guys are so troublesome. It takes half an hour to clear the scene."
Natalie, who was impatient after waiting for a long time, was very funny and dragged her big belly and urged: "Start quickly, the long-winded director, my amniotic fluid is almost broken."
"Haha, catch it quickly, don't leak it." Anne Hathaway, who was beside her, also started playing, and took it with her hands under her crotch, as if she was really going to use the missed amniotic fluid. But Natalie still ignored her legs. "I missed a lot, and I can cook a bowl of winter melon soup."
Unfortunately, my belly is too big and I can't see my feet at all.
Anne Hathaway couldn't help laughing, "I think it's a little bit short, it's just right if it leaks a little bit."
Chen Tian was speechless. He was already depressed by these two unconventional women and shouted very readily: "Prepare to get into the seat, start!"
Natalie, who is well prepared, is the person who makes Chen Tian feel most at ease. As long as it is not too far-fetched, Chen Tian rarely calls her because of her performance, so the same is true for this one.
“cut!good-take!”
At this time, Chen Tian clapped his hands hard, picked up the horn and said to the scene: "It was very good just now, but I'd better do it again. Nat, this time the movement is a little smaller, you are a lively pregnant woman. Even if you are pregnant, you are always pregnant, so let's try another effect. The makeup artist will make up again, and the child in her belly is about to fall off."
They all acted very well, but they didn't need to reshoot it. He did this just to test the best effect and facilitate the use of post-production editing.
The filming continued, but as the plot progressed little by little, even Natalie and Annie, who had always been lucky, noticed it. Annie suddenly fussed and said, "Oh my God, it's almost done, I can't believe it."
Natalie curled her lips, "You've just realized it later. The quick knife hand is really not a waste."
Annie widened her eyes and looked at the few remaining scripts, "Although she is very tired every day and spends her time in ng and good, now I am a little reluctant to finish the film so quickly. Nat, have you noticed it?"
"What?"
"We are already very tired from filming every day, but Chen has to be responsible for all the work. He comes to the crew earlier than we do every day and gets off work later."
Natalie curled her lips again, "He is definitely a workaholic, and I have never seen anyone lead the crew like him." Christian on the side happened to hear their weird conversation and smiled: "If it weren't for his sincere love for the movie, Chen would not have been able to be disappointed. Perhaps this is the secret of his repeated success."
Winslet came over, too, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
Anne smiled and said, "We're talking about director, Winslet, what do you think of the nicknames of "Quick Knife" and "Workman"?"
Winslet wondered: "What do you think? Isn't this talking about Chen? Is there anyone else?"
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time: "Haha."
"Sure enough, his two nicknames have become deeply rooted in people's hearts."
The crew's finale came as scheduled. Even Christian and Winslet, who had already finished filming early, did not leave the crew, but waited for the filming to be completed today and everyone celebrated together.
Moreover, the original purpose of their joining the group was not for this small movie. It is obviously more important than "Juno".
When Chen Tiandu shouted "finished", everyone applauded. Then the stars took a photo with the crew to commemorate the 25-day spending together. After that, when he returned to Toronto, Chen Tiandu booked the largest bar and held a final banquet for the crew.
"So fast!"
"The media never thought that we have finished the filming."
Several main creators met with wine glasses, and Chen Tian looked at them and said, "Natalie, Anne, Christian, Winslet, I'm afraid it will take up some of your time. The release date of "Juno" is scheduled for December 1st, and your promotional plan still needs your help."
Christian was not good at rejecting people, and nodded and said, "If the work was not tight at that time, I would have it." But Anne had become familiar with him and began to provoke boldly, "Boss, I am a little supporting role, and I will torture us to cooperate with the publicity. You are so stingy."
"Stingy?"
Chen Tiandu made a splash on her smooth forehead, "I have all kinds of titles, but I'm not stingy. If the movie is really a big deal, I promise to give you all a big bonus."
Natalie caught his language loophole, "That is, if there is no big sale, it will be empty talk."
"Of course, otherwise you think." Chen Tian admitted with confidence, and habitually stretched out his hand and wanted to bounce his forehead, but the woman avoided it in advance, and funnyly put on a kung fu posture to guard the defense.
Winslet smoothed out and said, "Okay, I hope that won't happen. You know, this is Chen Tiandu's movie. I suggest we have a drink together and wish the movie a great success. How about it?"
"Yes, cheers!"
"Toast!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
