Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 296 Finishing

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of January.

The filming of "Speed" has reached the final shot.

"Unit 3, lower it another ten degrees."

"Unit 1 takes a picture of the face."

After a surprising life-and-death race, the hero and heroine escaped together.

The hero and heroine hugged each other.

According to conventional Hollywood movies, if there is no shot of the actor slapping his tongue on the other person's lips for more than ten seconds at the last moment, it would be a disrespect to Hollywood.

But considering that Li Lianjie is not famous enough in Hollywood, and because of his skin color, the audience may not easily accept all this, Huang Ze was conservative.

Nothing.

If this incident affects the final box office, then the loss will outweigh the gain.

After all, this is the most expensive film I have ever produced, and it is the first time I have done such a big scene.

There's no need to take such a big risk for a kissing scene for now.

Therefore, Huang Ze did not let Li Lianjie take advantage of this. The biggest action of the male and female protagonists was to hug each other tightly with their faces pressed together.

"OK!"

"I declare that all filming of Speed ​​has come to an end!"

There was some sparse applause.

We are celebrating the end of this play together.

After announcing the completion of the filming, Huang Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These three months have been really tiring.

The key is that it is more dangerous than other movies. Other action movies involve falls and fractures, but here there are explosions, explosions, and explosions at every turn!

This thing might actually kill someone.

I can afford the compensation, but there is no need to cause a death while making a movie!

So Huang Ze has to be extra careful.

Especially when shooting explosion scenes, we have to make sure again and again that there are no safety risks.

"This play is so god-awful."

Huang Ze secretly complained, glanced at the assistant director not far away, a blond long-faced man, and then couldn't help laughing. "I don't know how this guy can persist as always."

Because he was a little unsure about the explosion scenes, Huang Ze specially found an assistant director to let the other party show his love for explosions.

It’s that long-faced man, Michael Bay, who believes that art is explosion and explosion is art.

At that time, he had not even directed a movie and was working as a commercial director. When he heard that Huang Ze wanted him to make a movie, he immediately agreed. Over the past few months, the two of them had collaborated very happily.

Feeling that someone was looking at him, Michael Bay turned his head, stopped clapping, raised his hand and greeted Huang Ze.

Huang Ze nodded slightly, then asked everyone to start doing the finishing work.

The crew returned to Warner Bros. Studios, the film was sealed first, and everyone rushed to the nightclub together.

It is customary in Hollywood to have a wrap party after filming is completed.

Because of the low production budget of "Pulp Fiction", Huang Ze only did a small thing. This time, he was generous enough to book an entire nightclub so that everyone involved in the filming of "Speed" could have a good time.

"Director, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Sandra Bullock, who was chosen by Huang Ze, was very grateful to Huang Ze. She came over to thank Huang Ze as soon as the wine was poured.

"polite."

Huang Ze actually doesn’t care much about the actors’ thanks.

Play with whoever is popular. This is not something only Yang Mi, who is in kindergarten, would play.

Hollywood is also very good at this.

Anyway, your American actors won’t be signed to my Xinghailai, so you just say it and I’ll just listen.

"By the way, don't take on any other films before this one comes out."

Anyway, with your current fame, you won't get much pay. "If you do what I say, you'll find that my advice is somewhat correct."

"I understand, thank you." Sandra Bullock clinked glasses with Huang Ze and then walked away.

Then, a strange-looking man walked over.

It was Quentin.

His debut film, Reservoir Dogs, had already been released in North America by Huang Ze thanks to his relationship with Warner.

In the end, the box office was not very successful and only earned 4.5 million US dollars.

Not very high, but a little higher than in the previous life.

It may be because it was related to "Pulp Fiction" during the promotion, which attracted a lot of viewers.

However, compared with the cost of just over one million, this box office revenue is a profit.

It has also begun to gradually emerge.

But this second work has been delayed for a long time, without even a general story, let alone a script.

The question is, there is no inspiration.

I heard that Huang Ze was going to shoot a movie in the United States and I had nothing to do, so I came here to be an assistant director in the name of looking for inspiration.

"How is it? Have you found any inspiration?" Huang Ze clinked glasses with him and joked.

“Still no inspiration.”

Quentin Tarantino shrugged.

"I think I need to go to the Netherlands and have a nice vacation there. Maybe I'll get some inspiration then."

"Are you going to the Netherlands for vacation?" Huang Ze was too embarrassed to point it out to this guy, "Are you also planning to rent a house near the red-light district?"

"Oh, Huang, how did you know?"

"The smile on your face is too sexy." Huang Ze smiled, "Look for inspiration first. If you can't find any, I can help you find it later."

"Okay, I must come up with a story better than Pulp Fiction." Quentin made a great wish.

"Then this glass of wine is to wish you success."

A copyist's wish to the original author.

Huang Ze smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

I don't know how long it took before the carnival ended.

Huang Ze slept until noon before getting up.

Wash and eat.

Looking at his watch, it was almost two o'clock when Huang Ze set out to work.

However, this job was not to do the post-production of "Speed", but to attend a film screening.

A screening of "Final Destination" which was released a week ago.

If you want to release a film in North America, you have to find a strong distributor.

Due to his good relationship with Warner, Huang Ze only approached the other company unless Warner refused to distribute the film or the conditions were not agreed upon.

"meet again."

I heard that the film was produced and written by Huang Ze, and the people who came to see the film were of high status, many of whom had seen the film more than once and could be considered acquaintances.

And George, who is indeed quite familiar with us, has gained a higher and higher status in Warner Bros. Pictures due to his collaboration with Huang Ze.

Zhang Jianya arranged for these people to sit down one by one, and Huang Ze sat next to George.

"Huang, I didn't expect you to be able to produce a horror movie."

"Why? I wrote the scripts for The Ring and The Grudge, don't you know?"

"I know. That's why I admire you from the bottom of my heart." George nodded with emotion. "You are not only an excellent director, but also an excellent producer!"

"It seems that those two films brought Warner a good income?"

"No more talking, no more talking, let's watch the new movie you produced."
