Hollywood Drawing

The entire Hollywood movie circle, the North American media circle, and even movie fans in all regions of the world, after experiencing the brilliance of DC superhero movies such as "Joker", "Batman: Hour of War" and "Batman: The Dark Knight", Faced with the official announcement of "The Flash" by Warner Bros. and Wayne, the news of entering the preparatory period is basically full of vision and expectations.

No one would be foolish to think about whether this "Flash" can be successful, whether it can meet the tastes of movie fans, and whether it can be favored by the market.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" still has the power to crush the world, so no one has considered that this "Flash" will fail unexpectedly. Even Warner Bros. executives happily offered $200 million for the film. Note that this is only the production cost. According to Hollywood's practice for the past two years, after all the work of the film is completed, at least 40% of the publicity fund will be issued. It can be seen that Warner Bros. How much confidence is there.

However, no one would have imagined how serious the anxiety in Wayne's heart was. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he was in Hollywood and made a movie completely according to his ability. This "The Flash" is in There is no image data in his mind. This means that there are no shortcuts to take this time.

After the preparatory work for this film began, the members of the core team also discovered more or less the change in Wayne's work style. Cautiousness is far more cautious than any previous film preparations. This is what everyone can feel. The person who feels the deepest feeling and the most troubled person is the casting director Schwartz.

According to his usual work habits, he has already started to select actors, especially those low-level actors and various small roles in a large area. The most important main characters have also started the first few rounds of auditions, waiting for Wayne to participate in the final round. Obviously, the situation has changed this time.

The main reason is that the script for The Flash has been fine-tuned, something that never happened before. The frequent changes in the script mean uncertainty for the actors. Now not only is Schwartz a headache, but even Charles Rowan, who is in charge of negotiating the contract with the actor's agent, is numb for a while, because no one I don't know what Wayne is thinking, will he overturn the determined script the next day.

"Listen, Charles." In the studio of Warner Bros. studio, in the conference room that had just completed a half-day audition, Julia, who had been promoted to the best editor at the Oscars, helped organize the equipment while looking worried about the pile of resumes. "If I were you, I would throw these shit-like documents on Wayne's desk and tell him, I'm quitting!"

Charles Rowan, who was already having a headache with his resume, shrugged his shoulders at the people around him after hearing the ridicule, and the corners of his mouth evoked a bitter smile.

There are already a lot of actors who have auditioned for the film, but these people who have been temporarily settled, he can't talk about contract issues with the eagerly-awaited agents. Just like these resumes in his hands, no one knows whether the actual controller of the crew will suddenly cancel a role or add that role.

"I'm actually fine here, at least no agent dares to urge me?" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Charles Rowan rolled his eyes and looked at Schwartz, the casting director sitting next to him. The work intensity of this guy is obvious. More than myself, the casting team led by the other party has been exhausted these days. "Schwartz, consider Julia's proposal, come, take these resumes, and kick open the door of the director's office, and slam them all into the ice cube face! How about it? Is it? Excited?"

As soon as his words fell, he again caused laughter from the surrounding team members who came to help. Not only Steve Wilson, who bowed his head and poked at the camera equipment, but also the newcomer, Sofia Coppola, broke the image of silence that had been kept, and grinned at the poor casting director.

"Hey, hey, hey, guys." Schwartz, who was raising a hand and pressing **** both sides of his forehead, turned his head, pouted, and said in a low voice, not caring about everyone's laughter, "f**k , how about a **** job that makes me happy? Are you envious?"

Charles Rowan continued to joke: "Unfortunately, if a red sofa is placed in the middle of the audition room, you will truly experience the joy of work."

Everyone is a senior behind-the-scenes person in the circle. Basically, everyone can understand the meaning of this sentence and understand why the producer said this.

This is Wayne's crew. For those slightly more important roles, Schwartz's casting team absolutely dare not stretch out their hands. It is true that the other party may have something to do with those little actors every time, but the bottom line is always there. , never dared to mess with things, which is why the casting director has a solid position in this team.

However, doing so means losing the greatest benefit behind the casting director's backstory. I'm afraid no one does not know the meaning of the red sofa.

"Come on, Schwartz, you're just too timid."

After getting acquainted with this group of people, Julia, the editing master who has been showing the image of a black aunt, completely exposed the nature of her middle-aged woman. He raised his eyebrows at the casting director and said unceremoniously, "Look at those **** handsome guys. If I were hosting the audition, I would definitely have an in-depth chat with them..."

"How deep?"

With the sound of questions, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Wayne walked in with Nina expressionlessly, and put several documents bound together in his hand on the table at the same time. "My dear senior sister, dear Oscar's best editor, if your editing effect in the post-production work on this film can achieve what I want, then at the film's celebration party, I will find you a dozen Male model!"

"God, a dozen male models." Steve Wilson screamed in fake surprise, reached out and patted Julia's shoulder, winked and teased: "If I were you, I would be like Shi Watts loves his job like that, oh my god, a dozen male models, that's definitely going to blow your mind."

"Right, boss?" He turned his head and looked at Wayne who was lighting a cigarette, wanting to confirm with an exaggerated expression.

After all, everyone has been working together for many years, so they all know Wayne's work style and know that although he will turn into an ice cube face as soon as he enters the crew, he will not be angry because of these harmless jokes. The core team atmosphere is relatively Harmony will only make him happy, at least on the surface.

"Yes, a dozen."

With a wave of his hand, Wayne took a few long puffs of cigarettes, focusing on the printed materials on the table with one hand and looking at Charles Rowan and Schwartz. "Okay, let's get down to business, the script has been finalized, and basically there will be no major fine-tuning. Charles, talk to the actors' agents about the contract. Schwartz, the audition plan for the main role remains unchanged, even if No matter how much adjustment is made, it will not affect these people."

"Ok." Charles Rowan nodded.

"Okay, boss." Schwartz picked up a script and said he knew what to do next.

This constantly adjusted script drained almost all of Wayne's energy. He took into account the convenience of shooting and other conditions. Now these team members think that he is abnormal because no one compares He is more cautious and more aware of the uncertainties of the film.

"The Flash" has never been put on the big screen until he came here. In the end, although I heard that Warner Bros. had started production, he had never seen the specific images. Compared with the previous movies , this film completely requires him to fumble forward.

Wayne has never admitted that he is a super genius, so he also feels great pressure and anxiety about uncertain things, and his choices are relatively more conservative. For these reasons, he used a completely stupid method this time. That is to go through the mainstream Hollywood production process.

First and foremost is the stage of film development. Normally, after a successful producer has an idea for a film, he writes the idea into a brief at this stage. After that, these brief introductions will be expanded into a movie script of about 30 pages. After several revisions by himself or the screenwriting team ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ the producer will produce a complete project plan based on the modified script. Contact film companies or potential investors.

The second stage, the pre-production stage, is the so-called film preparation. If an investor or a film company invests in this idea, the producer team will be determined to form a production office, and then the producer will be responsible for recruiting the behind-the-scenes production team, centering on the behind-the-scenes team to prepare all the preparations needed for the next stage.

The third stage is the preparatory shooting of the film material. After the material shooting is completed, the post-production work is carried out, and finally the film is released.

Obviously, this step-by-step method is not suitable for Wayne, but the basic process is not bad, but it is stuck in the movie creative conversion script. Due to the uncertainty and excessive caution, the script has been continuously carried out. Fine tune.

Once the work of the entire crew is up and running, even in the preparatory period of the film, it still affects the whole body, but fortunately Wayne has finally determined the final draft of the script, and will not continue to affect the next work, especially with the actor's agent People negotiation work.

After the brief meeting, several members of the core team each got a script and began to do their own work. After a simple lunch, the crew ushered in the most important actor audition, the protagonist Flash Barry - Allen.
