Coquettish Rebirth

When he was about to finish filming the foreign scenes, Cheng Long suddenly found Jia Hongjian with a worried face. ∮, "Brother, what's the matter? Do you have something on your mind?" Jia Hongjian asked without waiting for Cheng Long to speak. "Hung-chien, I'm still not satisfied with the shots taken in your Huaxia Hi-Tech Building..." Unexpectedly, Cheng Long said after hesitating for a while. "Not satisfied with that shot?" Jia Hongjian was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.Because Cheng Long was quite satisfied with the filming. At that time, the little house was put on a flying squirrel suit and surrounded by green cloth in the studio to shoot a shot that would fly from the top of the Jinmao Tower to the Huaxia Hi-Tech Building. , it can be said that if this shot is really done through post-production, the effect will not be worse than the special effects of Cheng Long's previous films!Why is Cheng Long still not satisfied?

Just when Jia Hongjian was so surprised, Cheng Long explained, "I think the scene is very good when I go in, but it's not so exciting when I come out. We arranged the small house and was finally caught by the protagonists." Yes, but I feel that it's not enjoyable enough, a little top-heavy, and there's not enough shocking scenes at the end..." Hiss, hearing what Cheng Long said, Jia Hongjian felt a little bit like this.In the second layer of dreams in the story, Jia Hongjian and his script subverted the setting in Nolan's "Inception".In the original setting, Nolan let such a character in the hotel room, and after the protagonist Xiao Lizi and others get this person, they will take him into the third layer of dreams, and also follow the "subconscious mind" who came to protect him. Agents wrestling or something.

But in Jia Hongjian's version, everything is different.Because Little House was arranged to subconsciously want to become a well-known actor and director like his father, Cheng Long, and also for commercial considerations, in order to make the scene more popular and attractive, then Little House was arranged for the In the dream on the second floor, he transformed into "Cheng Long II".Then there are all kinds of fierceness in the dream!This little house is as fierce as Cheng Long, so naturally at the beginning of the second layer of dreams, it is necessary to use flying mouse suits to sneak in dazzlingly like heroes and 007.But for the sake of the plot, in order for him to enter the third layer of dreams, it must be arranged for him to be caught, so the protagonist Xiao Lizi and others in the third layer turned into terrorists, and then put this original into the dream world. The little house, the big hero who killed the Quartet, was captured.Then he was injected with drugs to force him into the third dream.

From such a perspective, it is true that the second level of dreams is a bit anticlimactic, unlike the first level of dreams. The first level of dreams was very peaceful at first, then slowly began to become tense, and finally They even kidnapped the little house and started a chase on the road, and finally one fell into the water!This falling into the water is different from the ordinary falling into the water. Let everyone enter the second dream together while the car is falling into the water!This thing is eye-catching!And Jia Hongjian's version of the second-level dream, although the protagonists such as Xiao Lizi are the same as the original version of the second-level dream.Made some bombs to blow up the building—to be exact, put a dirty bomb in the building, ready to blow up the Huaxia Hi-Tech Building, and the subconscious defense of the small house, it looks like our Chinese The special police also rushed in to save people and get rid of the bomb.But it seems that although there are bombs, the general rhythm ups and downs are not enough for the "Cheng Long" style?

"Then what do you mean?" Jia Hongjian asked.He knew Cheng Long's habits. Cheng Long was obsessive-compulsive and a perfectionist, and he didn't take perfect shots.This old man can't sleep!You have to get the perfect shot!For Jia Hongjian, this was actually a good thing.Because he is different from the bosses of other film companies in Hollywood.The bosses of other companies are very strict about the budget.For them, an A-level blockbuster is just a slightly more sophisticated industrial product.As long as it is an industrial product, there is no such thing as excellence!This is not a Swiss handmade watch, why do you make it so perfect?This is just a business, and the photos are almost enough to fool consumers to spend money!If it was shot it would be great.How will everyone make money in the future?

So for them, even if they find Cheng Long to be the protagonist, even if they make a move that has never been done before—giving Cheng Long the position of director, but as long as Cheng Long takes the trouble to make the film well, like But now it is clear that the script has almost been filmed.He suddenly proposed to reshoot and redesign a scene.The boss of the film company will not agree!Because to create a new scene, it is not just to spend money on film. Although Jia Hongjian and the others used digital cameras this time instead of film, the problem is that they rented the camera, not bought it themselves!One more day of shooting is one day’s rent!Although this rent is not much for a film company, it is a tower of sand!Tens of thousands of 10,000+ dollars were wasted here today, and so much will come over there tomorrow, and tens of millions of dollars will be lost in one year, okay?

And besides the rent, there are various cost issues—for example, dozens of people in the crew plus a lot of things, and this goes back to Shanghai, is the air ticket money?Then there are accommodation expenses, transportation expenses, food and beverage expenses, etc. Are these all asking for money?This can only be done by live-action shooting. If the live-action shooting can’t be done, and the live-action set is needed, do you need to spend money on the set?So obviously a series is all about money!But the difference between Jia Hongjian and other film company bosses is that he knows that the film will definitely make a lot of money. Since it will definitely make a lot of money, the risk is small, so it is not too big to invest a little more. question, right?Of course, from some perspectives, businessmen need to be resolutely vigilant no matter how the cost rises, but who asked Jia Hongjian to come to Hollywood just for fun?He is not a serious businessman who makes money from movies, so his ability to make a lot of money for the company has already exceeded everyone's expectations. Who can preach to Jia Hongjian with higher requirements?

Among the shareholders of DreamWorks, like Spielberg, needless to say, he was born as a director rather than a film owner, so he is easy to favor Jia Hongjian-I believe that when he made films before, he must have his own desire to make films. When Jia Hongjian wants to be perfect but others don't allow it, can Spielberg refuse to agree?It's easy for people to understand and agree!As for the other shareholder, Katzenberg, this buddy was kicked out of Disney directly, so the biggest goal of building a company is to make Dreamworks surpass Disney, or at least get close to Disney, to prove his His ability and his ability to prove that he was wrong for not giving him the position of Disney boss before!

Although making money and profit is a very important aspect for Katzenberg, it is not the only important aspect!Because for him, he just wants to prove that he is capable, and his ability can not only be manifested by profit, but also by fame!How does fame manifest itself?He managed a very good movie, this is fame!So Jia Hongjian strives for excellence in the film, and Katzenberg will not object to it.As for the last co-shareholder, David Geffen, this buddy came here to invest more for fun. In fact, he is rarely involved in daily management. He rarely speaks every time the board of directors meets, just to watch the development. Forget about the situation, more to the point, he was just looking at old friends. He just saw that old friends were going to start a company, so he followed him to invest a sum of money. He didn't expect such a company to give him anyhow. What a profit!So, under the circumstances that the board of directors will not object, who will control Jia Hongjian's pursuit of excellence?

But even though no one was in charge of him, it didn't mean that Jia Hongjian agreed to reshoot even if Cheng Long had any new ideas. Otherwise, if Cheng Long lost his mind, the idea of ​​reshooting later was very ordinary?We didn't even hear about the plan and agreed to let Cheng Long make up the filming, so we were ashamed?So at this time, Jia Hongjian asked Cheng Long, "Brother, how do you mean to do it? How do you want to re-shoot?" I rushed out of the building, and then flew all the way to the Jinmao Tower next door. In the few seconds between the car flying out from this side and entering the building over there, I entered the third-floor dream..."

Although Cheng Long didn't explain it very clearly, but Jia Hongjian understood it all at once when he watched him make gestures - the matter of feelings caused a car to rush from the inside of the Huaxia High-tech Building to the outside of the glass curtain wall, and then rushed all the way by inertia Go under how many floors of the Jinmao Tower, and then rush into the glass curtain wall of others!Flowers!If you imagine this scene, it will definitely be much more exciting than the previous bombs and the like!Because although the bomb gave people a sense of tension, after all, the bomb would not go off until later. When the Little House and the others were brought into the third dream, the danger around them was actually not that great.But it seems that such a car flies out of such a skyscraper, rushes forward and falls in the air, and its target is the opposite building... This will definitely make the audience tremble when watching it, and it will definitely make people feel thrilled watching it!

So when Jia Hongjian heard this idea, he immediately nodded and agreed to reshoot! (To be continued..)
