Chapter 1424: Filming starts, but unfortunately out

PS: Please vote for recommendation! Please vote for monthly ticket!

Outside the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, the crew of "Into the Island" officially started shooting here.

There is a scene here where Mason, played by Sean Connery, meets his daughter here.

This scene is not complicated, but several previous car chase scenes in the movie will be filmed on this street.

Yuan Kui held a loudspeaker and directed the props team not far away to perform the final act.

Although he took over the job of "Taxi Express", he still had to complete the work of action director of "The Island" before that. These car chase scenes were a small climax in the early stage of the movie.

In the classic Hollywood three-part narrative structure, the story of a movie moves forward from the beginning to the end with strict time requirements.

In the first ten minutes, three things need to be explained to the audience: who is the main character, what is the dramatic premise, and what is the dramatic situation.

These settings are designed to stimulate the audience's psychological mechanism of curiosity and empathy for the characters.

Empathy is an important part of the movie.

The empathy psychology in "Four Seas" is very bad.

On the contrary, "Bravely Entering the Island" does this very well, which is why this commercial film has a high reputation - it created a very successful 'villain', or in other words, the audience is very fond of the role of the villain.

There is empathy, which is why there is no pure 'villain' in this movie.

In fact, a large number of successful large-scale commercial films in later generations have basically not escaped the three-part narrative structure.

Although the famous "Changjin Lake" is a story about our position, the overall narrative is also presented in three stages.

The overall completion level is very high, and the only thing that has been criticized is the so-called "human sea tactics" charge.

If you are poor, you will be detoured; if you are rich, you will be covered with firepower.

Weaving in and out is our specialty.

Of course, despite its flaws, this film was so highly completed in such a short period of time that it is still considered a very mature commercial production.

But it is undeniable that we are still in the learning stage in this regard. Isn’t that a shame?

What’s wrong with accepting criticism so you can correct it?

Audience criticism is normal.

Is it really possible for you to say "I'll quit and you'll be the one" after others criticize you? Don't even talk about amateurs trying to coerce you with public opinion...or say you do what you're supposed to do.

Having said that, Wu Xiaozu has experience in large-scale scheduling of several previous movies. Although "Bravely Entering the Island" is more professional in terms of mode, there is not much problem after getting started.

It just made Wu Xiaozu feel "constrained".

In the crew, several insurance company personnel were making final confirmations and judgments. Only if they thought it was OK could the next 'dangerous action' be filmed.

Yes, such a large investment project naturally requires a completion guarantee.

The film completion guarantee system is not only conducive to supervising the institutional process of the film, but also provides guarantee services for film production guarantees. Some production companies also diversify risks. One of the important factors for Hollywood to have such a good film industry and continue to develop is

Because there is a complete movie guarantee system here.

Later, starting in 2014, the Beijing Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Festival held feasibility discussions on this issue at the "Completion Guarantee - Local Exploration of Film and Television Financial Products" forum.

However, it was not until a few years later that "Blood of the Machine" became the first domestic film in the history of Chinese films to use the completion guarantee service, and it was not even until 2021 that this system was officially promoted... As for how to implement it, no one gave

An accurate letter.

Therefore, instead of saying that Chinese film companies are studying the "financial product" of movies, it is better to study this more forward-looking approach.

Wu Xiaozu watched helplessly as the insurance company conducted a 'risk control' study.

"Don't worry, a mature industrial film needs more standardized industry processes, so as to avoid the film's abortion."

Jerry Bruckheimer, who was wearing a white suit and no tie, smiled and raised his coffee cup, "You have to learn to enjoy the rare leisure time."

"Okay, I guess I'll get used to it."

Wu Xiaozu grinned indifferently, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

Anyway, it's like an ant is like an elephant now - if you can't exert your strength, it's better to take a rest.

It has to be said that Wu Xiaozu is still getting used to the working system in Hollywood.

"This Golden Globe Award is a pity." Jerry Bruckheimer glanced sideways at Wu Xiaozu, "In my opinion, "No Man's Land" should have achieved better results."

The 50th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is over. "No Man's Land" cannot be said to have failed, but it can only be said to have been dismal.

The best feature film did not go to "Scent of a Woman", and the best director was also won by Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven". The other awards also went their own way, and in the end only one won the best award.

Foreign language films.

It's basically a consolation prize.

Although "No Man's Land" actually received rave reviews from some film critics in North America after its test screening, and won some film critics awards, it is obvious that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not really take this film seriously.

Wu Xiaozu was not surprised either.

Although "Scent of a Woman", starring Al Pacino at his peak, is a typical American chicken soup, and the movie itself is a remake of the 1974 Italian film "Scent of a Woman",

But it is undeniable that this is a very delicious chicken soup masterpiece. The award-winning movie is in line with the mainstream views of Hollywood.

Besides...

These foreign reporters are really amateurs. Obviously, this movie is more famous than "No Man's Land", and Al Pacino is more in line with their perceptions.

Clint Eastwood's Best Director even more so.

"Pulp Fiction" was able to win an Oscar mainly because the competition pressure was low and it was a typical award-winning year. At the same time, the type, influence and operation of this drama are all extraordinary.

In comparison, "No Man's Land", a mainstream Chinese-language work, obviously could not win the hearts of the judges.

Americans don't care about what's going on in the rest of the world except when they are the world's police.

What's more, Wu Xiaozu's film is also a film that talks deeply about human nature.

Therefore, if "No Man's Land" wants to win the Golden Globe Award, it is purely because Khrushchev burped - he ate too many corn on the cob.

If he really wants to gain recognition in this place, he has to imitate the elder Biden in clenching his fist--a big one.

"I'm not that disappointed."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and shrugged, "Okay, I'm a bit disappointed, but it's not a bad thing to regret being out. At least I can focus on this drama wholeheartedly, isn't it?"

"Haha~~" Jerry Bruckheimer smiled cheerfully. He could see that Wu Xiaozu really didn't take it too seriously.

Of course, as Wu Xiaozu said, the exit of this drama made him concentrate more on the filming of the movie in front of him.
Chapter completed!
