Chapter 571 The first round ends
After the scenes in the studio are filmed, the crew will also go to many regions including Thailand, Switzerland, Tunisia and Guilin, China to shoot. George Lucas's eyes are also on the rapidly developing film market, and even accepted an interview with a Chinese media.
"The crew agreed to choose to film the scene in Guilin. I really like Chinese landscape paintings and want to bring Chinese beautiful scenery to the screen."
When facing the reporter, he even mentioned the biggest actor in the crew. "When Ryan was acting, he specially borrowed many Chinese Kung Fu characteristics, which made him show extraordinary physical fitness and flexibility. The action scenes in the movie can definitely meet the needs of Eastern and Western audiences at the same time."
As long as it can bring huge benefits, Hollywood has never minded praising the other party to heaven.
This situation gradually became the norm in Hollywood, and it was difficult to see Chinese villains in commercial productions, and those evil countries gradually became the number one military power in the universe or the dictator of Libya and Venezuela.
With the signing of a bilateral agreement on film and the rapid development of the Chinese film market, and the improvement of the relationship between the two parties after 9/11, since 2002, more and more commercial blockbusters have been planned or have been filmed in China, and appropriate Chinese elements have been added to the film to please the audience, thereby gaining more box office and further opening up the market.
Although the degree of doing is very limited, for example, some large productions only consider international chapters as small supporting roles, as the opposite market becomes larger, it will not take long to frequently cause Chinese celebrities to make soy sauce in Hollywood commercial productions.
Of course, Hollywood's main market will still be North America for some time in the future. If Chinese actors want to play an important role in super production, it will take time and the development level of the Chinese market.
If the number of screens on the other side can increase to 15,000 next year, Ryan will not hesitate to add Chinese supporting roles to Disney movies, but this is obviously impossible.
"Originally, I wanted to replace Jill Valentino with Aida King in "Life Crisis 2."
During the lunch break, the main members of the crew sat together and talked about the recent events. Ryan talked about the Chinese side, "Then find a Chinese actor or find an actress directly from mainland China, but..."
He shrugged, "I later gave up this idea."
"Why?" Evan McGregor, who was sitting opposite the dining table, put down his coffee cup and asked curiously.
"Because of this type of video..." Ryan explained a few simple words, "it was almost impossible to pass the review of their relevant institutions."
"So, are you just staring at the Japanese market?" George Lucas talked about the relevant data he had seen. "I heard that the Japanese box office of Resident Evil 1 was close to 20 million US dollars? The sales of the DVD were also extremely high?"
"That's because of the game." Ryan naturally knew why the movie was popular in Japan. "Japanese game makers also asked to share the profits around the world."
Several people laughed at the same time because such a thing was absolutely impossible.
Now Hollywood would rather make some compromises at the box office than make concessions in peripheral areas.
Ryan didn't even have the intention to talk to the Japanese. Although the movie did borrow the popularity of the game, except for the game copyright, the rest of the copyright of "Resident Evil" is in his hands.
How important is peripheral copyright to Hollywood? The best example is "Star Wars" being filmed. From the release of the first film to the present, the box office of the movie has been thrown aside. The various peripherals alone sold more than 20 billion US dollars, which has created George Lucas' billions of dollars in net worth.
Most of Lucasfilm's value is concentrated on this series.
The shooting continues, according to George Lucas' plan, in the first round of shooting before the Oscars. After finishing all the shots in the studio, they begin to move between various locations after entering April.
"Be ready, Ivan?" Ryan sorted out his clothes. He glanced at the main camera and finally looked at Evan McGregor. "I hope you don't have to be too heavy. Otherwise..."
"I believe you, Ryan." Ewan McGregor said quickly, "I believe you won't throw me on the ground."
"Don't worry, I will never throw you on the ground." Ryan pointed to the three prop elevators in front of him, "I will definitely throw you out of the elevator."
An assistant came over and reminded Ryan that they should prepare, and then the assistant director shouted to start.
Ewan McGregor lay on the ground. Ryan picked him up and fought on his shoulders and rushed towards the elevator, but he always felt that he had forgotten something, as if he had a problem and didn't understand it, and the assistant gave less explanations.
Although Ivan is also a standard handsome man, with Ryan's strength, there is absolutely no problem carrying him for a short period of time. Soon he rushed to the prop elevator surrounded by the blue screen.
When Ryan saw the elevator, he suddenly understood that these three elevators were props, and only one of them could open the door...
Which door could be opened? He forgot to ask, and the crew seemed to have forgotten to say it.
However, I have already rushed over, so I can't just give up like this, right? The chance of choosing one of three is still very high, at least higher than the chance of choosing five in my previous life.
Without thinking, he rushed to the front of an elevator on the far left and pressed the door to the door button, but the elevator door did not move at all.
"Sesame opens the door..."
Evan McGregor seemed to see something and shouted on his shoulder.
"Okay, we can do it again." Ryan quickly threw the heavy guy on the ground and asked loudly, "Can anyone tell me which door can be opened?"
Such minor mistakes will appear from time to time during shooting, and after a new one, the camera will pass smoothly.
The most problematic one is Anthony Daniels, who plays C-3po. This old actor is wearing a shiny robot coat and mask. He can't see the road ahead clearly. It often happens when he falls or bumps into R2d2. In the past month, the crew of R2d2 alone changed two.
During this shooting, George Lucas once again used full digital photography and vowed not to use film cameras again.
Of course, during the interview, he also claimed that this was his last work in his directorial career.
"I plan to retire." George Lucas also revealed his plans to Ryan, "Our era is over."
"What should Lucasfilm do?" Ryan looked at the two daughters and a son nearby Lucas without any trace.
Although his children all played guest roles in the movie, their interest was obviously not in the movie. The eldest daughter Amanda Lucas even told many people in the crew that she wanted to become a professional fighter.
"If you retire."
To be honest, George Lucas seems to have plans to retire after "The Revenge of the Sith" is completely completed. "I plan to let Kate take over my position and become the chairman of Lucasfilm."
"It's too early to talk about this now, let's finish this movie first." Kate he said must be Katherine Kennedy, and Ryan knew this.
The crew occupied two main studios and four small studios of Fox Sydney Studios to shoot. Ryan and others were still shooting the scene of massacre of the young disciples in Studio 7. The next shot returned to the small studio covered with blue screens and fell in love with Padme Amidala.
However, from the scenes where Anakin and Padmé get along, it is enough to see that George Lucas is not good at dealing with emotional scenes, and his lines are just a few words.
"Dear, I want to take our kids to Naboo Star." The speaker was Natalie standing on the terrace in front of the blue curtain, tied with a long brown wig, "We can stay in seclusion by the lake, which is safe and he can grow up healthily."
"You really..." This is the line belonging to Ryan, "It's beautiful!"
"That's because I love you very much."
Natalie just finished speaking, and Ryan replied with a nearly identical sentence, "No, it's because I love you very much."
"You mean lovers are particularly beautiful when they see lovers?"
"No, that's not what I mean."
After participating in the filming personally, Ryan also understood that this love scene is considered to be the most bloody and failed plot in the Star Wars trilogy, and it is not unreasonable. Natalie's Padme Amidala in her previous life saved this love scene to a certain extent. Her own joining in this life, although this scene still attracted attacks, it was not as fierce as in her previous life.
The most typical example is that Anakin Skywalker, who has been the winner of golden gluten in his previous life, disappeared on the list of golden gluten released in early March.
As the media said, he did not invest enough in this role, but it was far from being disaster-stricken.
Lucas' shooting plan was still smooth. Although the completion of the scenes in the studio was delayed by two days due to various accidents during the shooting, the crew still ended the shooting in Sydney before the Oscars. The cast and crew, including those attending the Oscars, can also return to North America, and others can enjoy a holiday.
Ryan's private plane took Lucas and those who were going to return to North America together, and the 75th Academy Awards ceremony was about to begin in controversy.
Nowadays, the focus of the entire North America has long been no longer on the traditional Oscars. Now that the war in Iraq has rekindled, countless anti-war figures have strongly called for the cancellation of this award ceremony and the results will be announced directly.
But the college will not make any compromises easily. After all, this award ceremony involves all aspects of interests and will not be cancelled due to opposition or failure to participate.
