271 [The Film Officially Starts Shooting]
According to the insurance company's regulations, from the beginning of "Dragon Hard Boy", it first filmed those big scenes, such as Halloween dances, birthday parties, kung fu competitions, etc.
Because the insurance company has insured [Complete Insurance]. If the movie is overspent and stopped filming, the insurance company must invest to finish filming.
Therefore, in order to save money, the insurance company will ask the producers to shoot those big scenes and spend a lot of money first. In this way, even if the movie is overspent, because the subsequent scenes are relatively simple, it does not have to pay too much money.
This is the thief of insurance companies.
In order to ensure its interests, it will send representatives when preparing the film to strictly supervise the preparation, shooting and other work of the film to ensure controllable risks.
If there are dangerous scenes during shooting, which exceed the description in the script, the insurance company representative can stop shooting at any time.
If the crew does not obey, they will be included in the insurance company blacklist. It seems that Jackie Chan jumped down on a tall building in Amsterdam and put him on the insurance company blacklist.
In Hollywood, if a person is on the insurance company blacklist, his acting career is likely to end. Because Hollywood's union stipulates that insurance must be available to film.
Nicole Kidman accidentally injured her knee while filming "Mold Rouge" in 2000 and received $3 million in insurance compensation from Lloyds Insurance Company. Later, when filming "Shirt Space" in 2001, her knee injury occurred, delaying the filming. Lloyds Insurance Company therefore paid $54 million to the crew and her individually.
Because of these two compensations, Nicole Kidman became an unpopular customer of insurance companies, and no one dared to invite her to film.
By 2003, Miramax Film wanted her to be the heroine of "Cold Mountain". Lloyds Insurance Company raised her premium to [20% of the movie's budget] because it [willing to be charged three times for an actress' knee in a few years].
The production cost of "Cold Mountain" is 79 million US dollars. If Nicole Kidman is hired, the insurance premium alone will cost 15.8 million US dollars. This is undoubtedly a sky-high insurance premium that Miramax Pictures can't afford anyway.
In the end, Nicole Kidman successfully purchased insurance at Firefighter Insurance Company after several twists and turns, but the conditions were very harsh.
Nicole Kidman must use her pay as a mortgage. If there is another problem with her knee, the pay will belong to the insurance company. And she has to undergo a physical examination every day and wear a knee pad. All scenes that may damage her knee will be deleted, and even bent down...
In the end, Nicole Kidman successfully starred in this movie, and because of the movie's high box office and good reputation, he ushered in a second spring in his career.
Therefore, it can be said that an insurance company can determine the rise and fall of an artist and can never afford to offend.
...
Ye Jin did not want to offend the insurance company, so he followed the insurance company's instructions, making it difficult first and then easy, shooting one by one.
In fact, this shooting method is exactly in line with Ye Jin's habits.
When he was filming, he also liked to shoot the most important fighting scenes first. He finished filming these difficult fighting scenes and then filmed literary scenes. This is called eating sugarcane-sweetness.
The reason why he has this habit is actually because he learned from Director Wu Siyuan. Director Wu Siyuan likes to film the highlights first and then slowly film the remaining scenes.
The reason why he filmed like this is actually because he was not qualified when he was a director. He was only twenty-eight years old when he was a director in 1972, and he was quite young at that time.
Because at that time, most directors focused on Xiao. Xiao trained directors in the form of [master and apprentice]. If the apprentice was not tempered for 10 or 20 years, he would not be a director at all. Therefore, directors of Xiao were generally in their 40s and 50s.
Because Wu Siyuan was not qualified enough, he was worried that the lighting, photography, and actors would not accept it when filming, so he first made the highlights to calm everyone down. Just like when the ancients went to the hall and shouted for power first.
A few years later, Wang Jing was the first director, filming "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Bas" and also learning from Wu Siyuan. He first filmed the final duel scene.
...
It's really easy to film in Hollywood.
Like all the crew members, Ye Jin works for eight hours a day.
And it starts counting the time from the time I go out, and it takes eight hours until I go back to the hotel. It is actually less than six hours to stay in the crew.
In comparison, when filming in Xiangjiang, you have to get up at four or five in the morning and rush to the shooting location. Work is usually not finished until dark at six o'clock.
If there is a night show, work will start at night. After work, you have to go back to the set to wash the film and watch the editor edit the film... I wish I could work twenty-four hours a day, and the serious rest time was less than four hours.
So, if Ye Jin is not an investor, the [eight-hour working system] is really cool.
But he is the investor, so he loves and hates this system.
If the film "Dragon Wild Boy" is filmed in Hong Kong, it can be finished in one and a half months. But now, it will take at least three months to finish filming in Hollywood. It can be said that it is quite ink.
"Hey, Ye, we are going to swim by the beach and have fun together." After work, several beauties invited Ye Jin to join us.
Although Chinese boys are not very popular in the love market in America and it is difficult to date white women, they do not include Ye Jin.
Because he is both the investor of this film, the producer of this film, and the male lead of this film. Although he is Chinese, he is also handsome from the aesthetic perspective of the Americans.
For these little artists, it can be said to be extremely attractive.
Therefore, these little artists rushed towards Ye Jin like moths to a fire.
"Aren't you afraid of the great white shark?" Ye Jin smiled.
This summer, Hollywood released a masterpiece "Jaws" with a production cost of 9 million US dollars. The film was directed by Stephen Spielberg and caused a huge sensation after its release.
The box office in the United States was 120 million US dollars, ranking first in the annual box office rankings, and the global box office was as high as 470 million US dollars.
The 470 million US dollars in 1975 are simply astronomical figures.
This movie also made Spielberg the hottest director in Hollywood, and since then started his legendary career.
However, this movie also has a certain negative impact, that is, the number of tourists to beaches in North America has dropped sharply, and the losses are calculated in millions of dollars.
"With you protecting us, we will not be afraid." The girls all smiled.
"Sorry, I still have something to do, I really can't get rid of it." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "You guys take good care of yourself."
"Isn't you really coming? We have prepared very sexy swimsuits~" the girls laughed sweetly, "I would like to ask you to help us with sunscreen."
"Okay, I really have something to do." Ye Jin smiled, "If you have the chance in the future, I will accompany you again."
Seeing that Ye Jin refused to go, the girls had to walk away in disappointment.
"Is he a gay guy? Why don't he accept the invitation?"
"I also think he looks like him. Otherwise, how could he not be moved?"
"It's really annoying. Why are there so many gay guys in this circle that we don't have the chance to get on the top!"
They chattered.
Michelle Pfeiffer, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust when he heard them say this.
Chapter completed!
