Chapter 32: Post production positions

　　 In this filming, Ronan hired two senior Arab actors, a man and a woman. In reality, the two are husband and wife, and in the film they are also husband and wife.
The two have been in Hollywood for seven or eight years. Because of their ethnic relationship, there is no shortage of roles. Also because of ethnic relationship, they have not played any positive roles. They often appear in Hollywood movies and televisions as villains or terrorists. In the play.
　　 Came to find Ronan's actor, who has a typical Arabic name-Muhammad.
　　 In the "True Lies" filmed by James Cameron, he played a terrorist with more than a dozen lines.
　　 If you switch to a white or black actor, two actors with their resumes will definitely not be able to get a salary of $15,000.
　　 All kinds of discrimination in Hollywood are real, as we all know.
　　 Therefore, Muhammad found Ronan and expressed his gratitude first.
"This role is different from all the roles I have played in the past." Muhammad's dark face, with twelve points of seriousness: "Arabic characters rarely have a positive image in Hollywood movies, let alone like now. such."
　　 Ronan said calmly: "I just want to tell the truth. Not all Americans are good people, and not all Arabs are bad people, right?"
　　 Mohammed nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Mr. Anderson, that's too true! I should say thank you."
　　 "No need to be like this." Ronan waved his hand, awe-inspiring: "This is the most basic conscience of being a man, and the most basic professional ethics of a filmmaker."
　　 Muhammad pursed his lips and nodded: "There are too few people like you in Hollywood. I immigrated to the United States ten years ago. You are the most respectable good person I have ever seen since immigrating."
　　 was issued a good person card like this? Ronan doesn't care. A person spends a long time in an environment that lacks respect. As long as he pays some attention to it, he can often bring twelve points of gratitude.
　　 Since this film is going to have a positive and extremely important Arab role, of course it has to be used to the end.
　　 Ronan turned the subject and asked, "Immigrated, have you ever been back?"
　　 Muhammad shook his head: "No." He smiled bitterly: "Go back without a face. Because of my livelihood, I came here to play a lot of bad roles. My relatives in the Middle East have cut contact with me."
　　 The Arab world is relatively conservative, and the UAE is considered the most enlightened country.
　　 Ronan thought for a while, and said: "The "Human Removal Project" will definitely be introduced into the UAE. You can go back and watch it at that time. It is estimated that this film can change the views of many people.
　　 "Good!" Muhammad was somewhat agitated.
　　 "The crew also needs actors to promote over there. Your husband and wife are the most suitable candidates." Ronan smiled and said, "Publish our films more among your compatriots."
　　 Mohammed vowed to say: "It will definitely! Mr. Anderson, I promise."
　　 Ronan warned again: "Most of the crew are Americans. I can't change everyone's mind. There are some things..."
　　 Muhammad could understand, and immediately said: "I understand."
　　 "Go for training and show your best performance."
　　 Hearing this, Mohammed solemnly responded. Although this Mr. Anderson is young, he is really a good man with a sense of reason.
　　 starring in such a good movie movie, you must work hard!
Ronan saw Robert enter the studio and walked over there. He looked back at Muhammad as he walked. This can be regarded as a placed in advance for the next plan. Waiting for Muhammad to go to the Arab world, especially Abu Dhabi to make publicity , Ronan Anderson in his mouth is definitely an old friend of the Arab people.
　　 This will further deepen his friendship with the "Arab brothers".
　　 How can a deep friendship be measured? For the oil rich, the most important thing is money.
　　 However, if you always catch a sheep and fleece, problems will occur after a long time, and you can also move the target when appropriate.
　　 Past Indians seem to have invested in movies produced by Spielberg’s DreamWorks after 2000. Maybe they can really hit Ah San’s idea?
　　 Ronan found Robert and asked, "How's the matter with the soundtrack?"
　　 Robert shook his head directly: "I met seven soundtracks, and the cheapest one asked for $110,000."
　　 "US$110,000?" Ronan frowned, then stretched out again: "Is the asking price of the whole team?"
　　 Robert replied: "Yes. Including composition, arrangement, arrangement, recording, equipment, equipment, copyright and editing, etc., the current Hollywood soundtrack, the team with the smallest number of 15 people."
　　 Fifteen people asking for $110,000 is really not expensive, but it is still too extravagant for a small production.
　　 Ronan thought about it briefly, and said, "I can only simplify the soundtrack.
　　 The filming team prepared for James Huang has long been set up, but the post-production team of the crew still lacks several key positions.
　　The important post-production producer is naturally Ronan himself, James Huang will also join as a co-producer, but the soundtrack and editor have not yet been found.
　　 The complexity and high cost of Hollywood movie soundtracks are somewhat beyond Roger's expectations. The cost of an almost cheapest soundtrack team far exceeds the cost of screenwriters.
　　 I can only say that high-tech jobs are too important for film production.
　　 "Give up the original soundtrack." During his study during this period of time, Ronan has also seen some successful cases of small production of soundtracks, and some simple soundtracks have been used in the video tape movies shot by Shahai Entertainment in the past. He said: "Hire a soundtrack artist who has worked with Shahai Entertainment before and choose some songs or music that fit the atmosphere of the film as the soundtrack."
　　 Robert nodded immediately: "This is also the way. We only need to pay a small amount of copyright fees, and at least two-thirds of our expenses can be saved."
　　 Ronan continued: "Sound effects editing will use the person recommended by James Huang. You will negotiate in person to keep the pay as low as possible."
　　" And the editor~EbookFREE.me~ Robert reminded.
　　 "I know." Ronan certainly will not forget the most important position: "Editor, we can't use James Huang."
　　 This involves the power checks and balances of the film. He is already young and unqualified. The editor recommended by James Huang will probably be more of a manifestation of the director's will.
　　 An excellent editor is more important to a film than the screenwriter and even as much as the director.
　　 Ronan had come into contact with several candidates before, but they weren't particularly suitable, but the pay was second, the most important thing was that they were not good at horror.
Several editors that Shahai Entertainment has worked with when shooting video tape movies have often come into contact with this type, but video tape movies and theater movies are completely two types, most of the video tapes and the failed "Jedi Life" he I've seen it all, the magical editing is a mess, and it's not much better.
　　 Ronan has self-knowledge, and he has the level of reviewing the finished film after editing, but he is a layman in editing by himself.
　　 There are many excellent editors in Hollywood, but the one suitable for the crew is hard to find.
　　 To put it bluntly, it is still a price issue.
　　 A somewhat famous editor, the weekly salary starts at US$20,000 or 30,000.
　　 A relatively simple film like the "Human Removal Project" is definitely not a lot of cutting for a month, maybe forty to fifty days or even longer.
　　 This kind of high-tech, high-professional work can't be done by shutting yourself in the editing room for a week.
　　 Ronan thought for a while, and said, "I'll find a way for the editor, but I can't go back to USC to find a mentor."
　　 Little Anderson studied at the USC Film School for nearly three years. He is the kind of talented student that many teachers like, and he has visited his tutor, Professor Johnson several times.
