Chapter 6: First choice

As the gentle tremor faded away, the plane entering the stratosphere began to fly smoothly. Adrian retracted his eyes out of the window and looked at Dennis Knight, "Why, some airsickness?"
"It's okay, this is my third time flying on the plane, it is inevitable ... somewhat uncomfortable." Dennis took a deep breath, but finally untied the safety belt and went straight to the toilet on the plane.
Funny guy, Adrian shook his head with a smile and turned his eyes to the other side of the cabin. The executive producer, assistant director and assistant director who Lafferne recommended for him were sitting there. In addition, he has contacted an acquaintance in the UK and will provide a series of help for Adrian's shooting.
This is the benefit of buying a film company, with a complete operating team and established contacts. In particular, the Bosworth Film Company was easily selected based on the information provided by Claude. Although it is small, it has extensive connections because it was established early. Even several vice presidents of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Can also draw on relationships.
Don't think that Americans don't talk about human feelings, but their human feelings rarely appear above the rules. Take Adrian's screenplay, if it wasn't for the relationship left by his parents that had not been abandoned in the chaotic life of the previous two years, how could a newcomer screenwriter who did not even write a broker for the first time send some major companies to send Come to visit?
After arriving at London Heathrow Airport, it was already 2 a.m., and a short night at the airport hotel fell, and jet lag. Adrian took a few people, as well as prepared actors and staff from the UK, to North East London. The filming in a small town called Edwin began violently.
The "first work" he chose was Guy Richie's "Two Big Smoke Guns", an unexpected and coincidental multi-line narrative style, a compact and interlocking plot, and ubiquitous black English humor. It makes people's eyes bright, so even if the investment is reduced and reduced when shooting, it is only 80,000 pounds in the end (Note 1), and it can get a good reputation immediately after it is released.
The only problem is that this is a British film, but after thinking about it, there is no more cost than this film-even the cost of "The Chainsaw" is about 1 million, let alone from the perspective of maximizing benefits "Saw of the Chainsaw" is better after "The Seven Deadly Sins". Anyway, Adrian ’s maternal grandfather was British, so he and his mother also had British citizenship. Although he did n’t spend much time in the UK in his memory, the English accent was pretty good, so
the debut film
is also a British film. The past.
"Gentlemen, I think I should make it clear to you, please don't appear NG due to minor problems!" Adrian raised his head from behind the camera and angrily shouted, followed by waving his hand to never.
了 After shooting for three days, he easily grasped the feeling. Although he did n’t touch the camera a lot before rebirth, he had practical experience after all. Besides, he had seen and analyzed many movies, and it was not difficult to shoot. That's why Adrian vowed to tell Laverne that he will finish filming and editing within 2 months and then send it to Venice to exhibit.
However, a good film cannot be directed by itself. Most of the actors except Dennis and a few gangsters who play "Axe" Harry, are mostly out of state. No wonder, to save money, of course, it is impossible to invite those already famous actors. Although the third and fourth-tier actors are also very good, whether they can be recruited can only depend on luck.
"If you want to add a lighting engineer, Mr. Adrian, the cost may be overrun." The financial assistant came over at this moment, saying this with a pile of statements.
"Overrun? That's not enough, the budget is only 200,000 US dollars." Adrian frowned, although he had carefully planned and doubled the budget and did not expect that he would overrun, how could this happen?
Flipping through the report Adrian felt a headache. Of course, there would be no problem with the report. Every expenditure was recorded. So why did this happen? Additional investment is not a problem, but if you want to make additional investment, you have to figure out, otherwise how to copy those classic movies in the future? Damn, what did Guy Richie do at the time? !!
Looking at the sky, it's not too late. After thinking for a long time, Adrian waved his hand to signal the end of work.
The gurgling water stopped, Adrian took a long breath and opened the shower curtain, and found a towel around him. Came in front of the mirror to wipe off the fog, and watching the figure inside touched his cheek involuntarily.
I have been almost half a year, although the integration has been very good from the beginning, such as persuading Claude and the manner and temperament that he showed when negotiating with the editors. But it doesn't fit, but it always exists. For example, sometimes you feel that you are completely Adrian or you are completely Zhang Haoxuan. Fortunately, he set his own goals from the beginning and he did not hesitate to start working hard, so he has completely integrated so far.
"The consciousness of the previous life should dominate?" Adrian muttered, looking at himself in the mirror. He quickly smiled and shook his head, so what? Even if it was neither Zhang Haoxuan from the previous life nor Adrian from the past, I was always me, as long as I knew what I wanted to do and how to do it.
"Okay, don't think about it." Patting his cheek, Adrian walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. Although things in this area are not over, rice has to be eaten bit by bit, and some things are already in his mind. For example, continue to integrate the resources of the Kewell family-this can not be done in two or three days; or go to China to find a way-frankly he does not think that he will see another one, which is not in line with the universe law.
"So let's focus on this movie," Adrian scolded, put on his pajamas, and walked to the table to pull up the lamp. "Can the lights be brighter, this hotel has a light bulb?" Ca n’t afford it?

This is a typical English-style small hotel. The old and rough patterns on the yellowed walls and skirts seem to describe its long history, and the slightly dim lights give people a kind of presence. The feel of London in the 18th and 9th centuries. It was better before, and the desk lamp was relatively bright, which made it easy for him to type-Adrian writes things in addition to directing movies every day, script outlines, and ... novels! But the table lamp broke in the past two days, and the hotel did not deal with it in time, so it was impossible to rush the time, which made him really depressed that he could not wait to change one minute to two minutes.
德里 Adrian pulled the desk lamp off and turned it off, and turned it on and off. If it weren't for one reason or another, he would have moved to the hotel. Forget it, let the assistant buy a new one tomorrow. The efficiency of this small hotel is obviously unreliable, and the table lamp that may be replaced may be yellower than the original one. This is equivalent to ... wait, yellow!
His eyes widened as if he thought something, and after staring straight ahead for a while, Adrian patted his jaw violently. That's it! I understand! Guy Rich, you are a genius!
"You mean ... you'll shoot with orange filters in the future?" The lighting engineer looked at Adrian, sleepy-eyed and at the same time with some helpless annoyance. Anyone who was called from a good dream would not be happy. of.
"No no no, it is a layer of orange-yellow filter paper," Adrian corrected. "This can reduce the use of other filter papers, basically you need to make slight adjustments to keep Use it and then do some processing in the post to make the picture look no different from other movies-do you understand? "
这个 "This ..." The lightman rubbed his head. "I have to think about it first, Mr. Adrian."
"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow when we get to the set." Adrian also realized that he was a bit sloppy and rude to come so late, he said a few words and then left the room.
The method of reducing costs by Guy Ritchie is not complicated. To put it simply, because the color tone of the entire movie is relatively dark, after adding a layer of orange-yellow filter paper to the filter, you only need to do a little color. Adjustments can be taken all the way to the end without affecting the viewing effect at all-just do some processing later. (Note 2)
The reason why Adrian can remember this is because he saw the remake of the high-definition version at that time. Although it was no different from other movies when it was released in ordinary theaters, the high-definition version that can be turned into a DVD will make the whole The picture seems to have a layer of rust. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com ordinary people do not know what is going on, but for a person familiar with film production, if you understand the situation of this work, then you will understand it by thinking about it.
It turned out that Adrian's idea was correct. On the day after the break was deliberately announced, he was on the set with the lighting engineer and photographer-in fact, a small office rented out-and after a long time of busy he finally applied this method. Settled.
"I have to admit that this method will save us a lot of things." The lighting engineer and the main force finally praised and said, "You are a genius, Mr. Adrian,"
"Can it be used? Then it is time to take the next shot." Adrian waved his hand.
虽然 Although this method seems to save less, after the entire film is shot, the accumulated figures can not be ignored. More importantly, through this, Adrian recalled that more of Geerich's cost-saving details might be used in the shooting, such as moving the props twice and then shooting from different angles to make one scene different. A scene and the like.
You're a genius, Guy Richie! Adrian praised again in his heart. I will give you everything in peace, and I will treat them well!
(Note 1: The cost of the movie on Ferry Encyclopedia is 80,000 pounds, but the cost of the foreign website is 900,000 US dollars. The latter data was found after a long time. The plot is not easy to modify, so I have to make mistakes and errors. Can be explained Because, 80,000 pounds is the cost after booting up to the sealing of the mirror.
