The crew did not have many outdoor scenes in Paris, and it was not difficult. The most difficult part was to close the road in Paris, an extremely prosperous and crowded city. Both time and space were quite limited. Duke had to direct the crew to complete the planned scenes at the fastest speed, quality and quantity. Fortunately, Liam Neeson was in good condition, and as long as he could maintain a good condition, the shooting progress could be guaranteed.

On the viaduct that was temporarily closed, cars were congested, and the camera mounted on the slide rail kept retreating. Just in front of the camera, Liam Neeson moved his long legs and chased forward desperately. The male actor, who was over 50, had almost reached his limit in running speed.

“ut!”

Behind the camera, Duke raised his head and shouted, "Stay for five minutes, Ruili, make up for Liam."

The tall Liam Neeson held a car and bent over there to breathe. Even after systematic training, he still couldn't stand this long uphill road.

Duke went over and asked him a few words, extending the rest time to fifteen minutes.

The role setting of Agent Brian determines that it is impossible to use a younger actor, a retired agent of an older group, who can also use close combat to kill a bunch of young and strong gangsters, which can only happen in the movie.

The fifteen-minute break is already the limit. Although the actual shooting is not the viaduct near Charles de Gaulle Airport, and the traffic here is not too busy, the crew cannot take up too much time.

Duke stood up and walked to the viaduct, first looked into the distance for a while, then looked at the blockade line of the crew. Tina Fe crossed the blockade line and was walking quickly towards him.

"The plane has taken off," she said, walking to Duke, "Evie will call you when she arrives in Australia."

"Yeah." Duke nodded.

Ivanka only stayed here for four days. Then she went to Australia. Now it is the company's rapid development period. It is still very far away to push it to the whole world. However, it is not difficult to enter the five gay friends zones in Europe and English, which are closely linked to North America.

As for the company's listing, although Ivanka mentioned several times after returning from New York, Duke dragged it down with various reasons. It was normal for a company to develop to a certain stage and seek expansion funds for listing financing. Moreover, the company has only invested but not output for several years. Ivanka has the idea of ​​listing, which seems normal in his opinion.

However, according to Duke's understanding, there seems to be a shadow of Donald Trump after the listing incident. He doesn't want that troublesome guy to reach his hand into his cake.

Of course, listing is a necessary choice in the future. Instant sharing will undoubtedly require huge amounts of funds to continue to expand. Duke is indeed worth a lot of money, but most of it is not cash, and it is impossible for him to invest large amounts of funds only in this project with uncertain future.

You can wait for the time to go public. At least you have to wait until Google is launched before you talk about it.

The short rest time ended soon, and Tina Fe seemed to have something else, Duke asked her to talk about it later. The next shot wouldn't take too long.

Liam Neeson, who had been gasping for a long time, basically recovered. Although the last shot was ng four times, it took less than forty minutes before Duke shouted through.

The scene on the viaduct was completely over, and the crew left some people to finish it here, while Duke took the members involved in the filming to a minority community in the city.

On the driving car, Tina Fei talked about what she hadn't mentioned just now, "The Warner Distribution Department heard from the news. Their International Distribution Department had basically agreed with people on the other side."

Hearing her say this, Duke immediately showed an interest.

"In principle, the other party agrees with your conditions. "Hurricane Rescue" can be released at the same time, and it is recommended that you take the film to the Shanghai Film Festival in early June next year."

Tina Fei opened the work log, took a look, and said, "The other party also has a condition that requires you to pass the screening version of the video into a film no later than mid-April. They need..."

"Request for review?" Duke said.

"Yes." Tina Fei nodded, "The video will be released there after review."

This is a very normal situation. Not to mention now, even in the past ten years, any movie has to be reviewed in the theater market there. In fact, this situation will basically be faced before the film is released around the world.

For example, in North America, although the rating system of MPAA is not a mandatory requirement, which distribution company will not send ratings when releasing videos? If there is no rating, theaters will almost refuse to show them.

After thinking for a few minutes, Duke said to Tina Fey, "Promise them."

Duke was not worried about the issue of a large scissor. Although the movie he made after entering Hollywood was very American, it did not touch the content of the opposite side. For example, the content about the South China Sea in "The Brave Island" became Iran and the Persian Gulf in his hands...

Moreover, no matter who is a film from now on, you must go through this procedure if you want to be released in theaters on the other side.

Although the review standards on the opposite side are always vague, and the content that can be reviewed today may not be able to pass tomorrow, the quantitative standards for foreign movies that are only for them are still relatively clear.

Duke was helpless when talking about a large scissor, but after staying in Hollywood, he also fully understood that no matter which country or region it was, it was impossible to completely allow audio-visual products that actually have propaganda and incitement to be circulated at will.

Political correctness is a necessary choice for mainstream audio and video products in any country. This big scissor does have many defects such as inconsistent standards and strong arbitraryness, but it cannot simply throw some responsibilities on their heads.

For example, some magical drama projects he had been to in his previous life.

At that time, he had been in the crew of several magical dramas. In fact, he knew very well that magical dramas were popular not only because of the existence of large scissors, but also inseparable from the market.

In addition to the mandatory requirements of large scissors, it is not difficult to find with a little analysis that among many TV series, the magic drama is the clearest type, with a globally universal and clear confrontation between good and evil camps, justice finally won the victory end, and the plot of life and death...

Moreover, after the Internet is highly developed, no one can deny that the age of the audience in front of the TV shows an older trend, and gradually becomes mainly born in the 1950s and 1960s. These people who grew up in special times often have a considerable enthusiasm for magical dramas, which has caused the market's urgent needs.

With certain market demand, the drama is destined to have room for survival, especially for TV stations and production companies, the drama is less risky and has a large return.

First of all, the drama is a TV series with absolutely correct politics, and there are a large number of "first needs" that must be played on various anniversary days; secondly, the drama is of clear genre and has a group of loyal viewers like older audiences. Compared with other dramas, the drama does not require stars, has relatively small investment, high replay rate and high returns. At the same time, the drama that is popular, specialized and locally distinctive often receives government support, and the financial subsidies are quite considerable.

Although he did not really make a name for himself in his previous life, Duke's turning point came from the divine drama crew. Fireworks masters are a must-have position in divine dramas, and the existence of a large number of divine drama crews also provides newcomers with the opportunity to emerge.

Perhaps the department behind the scenes is not very prominent, but from the actors of the drama, it is not difficult to understand the opportunities created by such dramas for the cast and crew members in front and behind the scenes.

The magical drama is a drama that requires very low requirements for cast members, especially actors, which are not beautiful, not tall, and have a rustic temperament. It may not be able to perform other dramas, but generally speaking, there is no problem in acting in a magical drama.

In fact, many second- and third-tier idol artists who look very glamorous may not have made a lot of money in the magic drama actors who have almost never heard of their names.

Duke once heard some producers mention that some second- and third-tier artists specialize in idol dramas and life dramas, may also need to work around at home and provide living expenses; while actors of magic dramas, as long as they work hard enough, they often have endless plays and can earn a lot of money.

To put it more exaggeratedly, in the film and television industry where opportunities are far more important than abilities, the cast and crew of the drama may be relatively close to the category of "hard work will reap what you gain."

The popularity of certain types of movies and TV series is often caused by many reasons, and it is impossible to simply summarize the problems on any person or unit.

Just like Captain America beats Hitler and Quentin Tastino to smuggle Nazi senior executives, both in China and the United States, they actually have similar attitudes towards film and television dramas. Political correctness must be encouraged and romantic imaginations must be allowed.

Of course, proper imagination and addition brings more entertainment to entertainment dramas, and everyone likes it, but adding certain vulgar elements can only say that it should be criticized.

In short, as a former industry insider, Duke roughly knew where the bottom line of the big scissor was, and he was a director who could make timely adjustments, and he was not a diehard like Christopher Nolan.

Arriving in the minority community, Duke took a few shots and ended his day's work.

There are not many outdoor scenes in Paris, but they are quite fragmented, and the shooting plan is adjusted from time to time according to the relevant situation in the city. When mid-January 2004, the crew finally ushered in the last scene.

All the difficult shots were basically shot in Burbank's studio. For Liam Neeson, the most difficult thing here is undoubtedly the running scene. When he finished his last run on a bridge on the Seine, Duke announced that the shooting was over.

This film took only two months to complete all the shots. Duke did not continue to stay in Paris. He needed to return to Los Angeles to continue post-production, and also needed to go to various occasions to show his presence during the sprint stage of the awards season.

Sometimes it is very important to be familiar with many judges. The first thing to bear is the Golden Globe Award that will be started. (To be continued)
