China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 84 Preparations for "2012"!

"I told you, I'm going to destroy the earth!"

Guan Ling looked at the painter,
"The whole earth is about to be swallowed by an ocean, and what I need is not many Noah's Arks, but one. Do you understand? This is the Ark of Hope! Isn't your hope great?
It's not such a little thing, do you understand?

Give me a little imagination and imagine that this ark is almost a broken surface of a continental plate, rather than this legendary thing you drew.
How old is this?Is it as big as my fingernail?

Do you know the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier?The ark I want is eight hundred. Is it as big as a thousand? !understand? "

In a flash, the time has come to February 2007, 2. The Oscar Science and Technology Award Ceremony will be awarded today, to individuals or institutions that have made outstanding contributions to some specific departments of film technology, but this award is too Too professional to attract public attention.

As for Guan Ling, modeling has also reached the most difficult period.

The most difficult thing is time.

Guan Ling has every fragment in the movie in his mind, so he can accurately reproduce every scene. However, people here in the United States work an eight-hour work day. Guan Ling asks them to work overtime, which means they have to pay more. The cost made Guan Ling particularly speechless.

At this moment, Guan Ling felt that he had transformed into a capitalist.

Guan Ling was speechless about the imagination of the American crew.

Although Noah's Ark is a myth of Europeans and Americans, they really don't have much imagination. Guan Ling asked them to come up with the shape of the Ark. After giving a rough outline, the other party's drawing was pretty good, but the proportions were too small.

Just that thing can save a few people.

"Did you hear that? What Guan means is what I mean, and what Fox means. Everything must be according to Guan's requirements!"

Gai Nao Te also issued a request to the painter.

The preparatory work for "2012" was actually not difficult, because Guan Ling provided almost all the storyboard clips, and the crew only had to follow Guan Ling's requirements and follow the instructions.

This also made Gai Naote's jaw-dropping way of filming Guan Ling during this period.

In Gai Naote's view, Guan Ling's ability to do this means that he has a rough draft of the entire movie in his mind.

this is too scary!

In Gai Naote's view, Guan Ling's brain must be different from ordinary people, otherwise no one would be able to film a movie in their mind and then reproduce it!
"Guan, the news from Fox Searchlight is that "Hearing Girl" has a chance to win. Many judges are very interested in the first hearing-impaired supporting actor in history, but for Best Picture, to be honest, it will definitely not win. ”

After finding some free time, Gai Naote went to Guan Ling to tell him the latest news.

The effect of the public relations operation is pretty good. Some judges have actually expressed their preferences online, which is very important.

"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing to win the award. The best picture will not go to an American film shot by a Chinese director, especially since I am an authentic Chinese. I understand this."

Guan Ling actually had a hunch that this was not bad news.

The Science and Technology Awards generally take place two weeks before the Oscars, so final votes are collected quickly.

In this process, everyone can actually understand some of the judges’ preferences.

"Okay, Guan, I thought you would be unhappy, but I didn't expect you to be more mature than I thought. But I need to remind you, even if you are just pretending, don't relieve stress in Vancouver's red light district. Then It will cause trouble!"

Gatelot showed a knowing smile.Guan Ling rolled her eyes at him. Guan Ling already knew this. Canada is a very divided city. Selling music here is legal, but buying it is illegal. If you do the latter, you will be jailed.

Because of this, Vancouver's custom industry is very poor and chaotic, as threats, extortion, and witchcraft are common.

"Guard, mind yourself. I'm a director. If I want, I can always pull out the red sofa and ask the actresses. This can be seen everywhere in Hollywood, isn't it? It's just that I haven't been able to fully accept them. The inexplicable smell.”

Guan Ling said, "I still like Chinese women."

The two chatted and chatted, and then started talking about the preparations for "2012".

Usually this kind of preparation work is handled by the producer, but Guan Ling is the screenwriter, investor, and main controller. He has quality requirements for the film, so Guan Ling came in person, which can shorten the ineffective time.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and the crew is on track. Everyone is completely familiar with Guan Ling's style. Although this Chinese director is young, he is very confident and looks cool when talking trash. There are many people in the crew. All young foreigners think so.

The preliminary preparation work for "2012" is a relatively huge project, even compared to many top science fiction movies, it is also a very labor-intensive project.

And if a shoot fails, some of the model work may even need to be remade.

Therefore, Guan Ling requires the modelers to establish details at this stage, which will be helpful for subsequent re-work.

Therefore, there are very clear regulations on the entire preparation chain, and there are also steps and procedures that can be directly viewed.

Guan Ling is actually very envious of this. Compared to China, Hollywood's work in this area is really top-notch. This producer-centered approach completely eliminates the possibility of buying straw hats.

The Chinese film industry is following the path of characteristicism, but it still needs to be improved and updated.

"Everyone, I bought you coffee. You are working very hard. I hope you can improve your efficiency."

Guan Ling could actually see everyone's hard work in these preparations, so he invited the crew to have lunch and coffee several times, with sticks and sweet dates. In fact, the crew in Hollywood also eat this.

Guan Ling also used this period of time to prepare all the scene shots of the movie. In this way, the special effects in the later period also have reference pictures. Guan Ling's method of making movies can provide better preparation and post-production. The production staff all bring great convenience.

The only problem is that Guan Ling needs to turn long positions, so he is quite tired.

However, Guan Ling couldn't wait to think about the impact this movie would have after "2012" came out. In fact, he still had a very important idea in his mind, but he couldn't talk about it and could only do it silently.

And this movie may be able to bring about some slight changes.

Even if it can only affect a small number of people, it is enough for Guan Ling.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to choose this movie before.

And time is always spinning rapidly. On February 2007, 2, the final votes were completely closed.

On February 2, the cast of "Hearing Girl" reunited in Los Angeles after being separated for more than half a year.

Guan Ling, Liu Yifei and others are about to attend the 79th Academy Awards ceremony!
