Chapter 734 Touchstone Pictures, the pig kidney face handed over the script!

PS: Please recommend votes, please votes for monthly votes.

California, Los Angeles County, Burbank, an inconspicuous gray three-story building with the sign of "Touchstone Pictures".

Just like countless small and unknown film companies in Hollywood nowadays, it is just as ordinary.

In later generations, as Hollywood land prices continued to rise, many Hollywood film companies and related companies also moved to Burbank.

Wu Xiaozu settled here in advance.

Although there are company addresses, there are still few staffs and they still belong to the category of a bag company.

Touchstone, as the name suggests.

The company has opened a white man as the head, and it is easy for everyone to find such professional managers in Hollywood. The main business scope is the videotape business of Hong Kong Island Film here, and has jointly produced "The Seven Sins".

Therefore, from the perspective of capital structure, the drama "Seven Sins" is a Sino-US co-production. Compared with Mr. Liu, Wu Xiaozu unlocked this result in advance. Maybe at this time, Mr. Liu was leading the four masters and apprentices to leave the rest of the crew and was doing business performances everywhere, and was eating a lot of money, right?

After all, he is Director Yang’s most difficult problem. This is not a slander, it is what Director Yang said personally on TV and autobiography...



Cine Tel Film and Television Post-production Company, Editing Room.

Many Eastern Hosts are interspersed among European and American staff, and everyone is busy with the post-production company of "Seven Sins".

This company is not well-known in the industry, but it is very skilled in the operation process. This Hollywood-style movie tailoring role is everywhere in Hollywood. The company provides venues, and Harvey personally recommends the post-production team to be responsible for the overall post-production work of "The Seven Sins".

"I think you can try this movie festival route." Harvey, who is increasingly obese, took the initiative to tell Wu Xiaozu with his belly, "The market in North America will not be too big. After all, the skin color of the starring determines its audience... Sorry, I am not racist."

"I see."

Seeing Harvey explaining quickly, Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly.

The movies starring Asians have always received poor responses in the North American market, let alone not to mention that they are not a kung fu film?

John Wu’s signature is not that bright in North America, or... he himself has no brand to talk about here, let alone the signs.

"This movie is mainly because I want to understand the Hollywood model, at least the later process and industrialization."

Wu Xiaozu took a sip of Corona casually, and the ice was so refreshing that he felt cool and let out a little of his irritability.

"The Seven Sins" has been post-production for more than a month, but the progress in all aspects is very unsatisfactory.

Nowadays, the number of common shots in Hollywood movies is about 1,000, and the number of general movies is 5 to 8 seconds. The length of the shots of "The Seven Sins" will roughly double under this premise, roughly the same as the length of 2 to 4 seconds of a thriller.

In terms of color tuning, the cold tone makes the overall style seem too depressing. The "Seven Sins" that Wu Xiaozu wanted should be an alternation of audio-visual elements independent of reality and the real environment, which intersects unique cinematic characteristics.

If we summarize the high-quality statement, in this movie, Wu Xiaozu hopes that the audio-visual language is pure audio-visual and pure movie thinking.

Although this is a suspense film, Wu Xiaozu wanted to use the camera and color to shoot a bloody crime film that was as noble and elegant as Bach's music...

Therefore, there are actually not many lines in the entire movie, and the viewers can feel the "information" through the camera and character performance.

This is also a special behavior for Hollywood, but fortunately, Harvey agrees with this method, so that the Hollywood teams will not give up.

This conceptual difference is huge, and even the editor's performance on the film's focus is different from the result Wu Xiaozu wanted.

How to edit a scene is closely related to editing the parties involved. For example, in the "Gun Fire" shopping scene, Wu Xiaozu emphasized the importance of the camera position when editing, so as to give the focus to the main characters in the clip one by one. However, if another person is used to edit, the conflict points and the scenes may be placed on others may not necessarily be the case.

So, these days, Wu Xiaozu has been conducting limited running-in and cooperation with these Hollywood workers.

It is not uncommon for a movie to become two different movies due to editing reasons in Hollywood. In later generations, even "Dynasty" directed by a famous director like Ridley Scott failed for many reasons.

For example, the market fatigue of epic films, such as cost control, and the unpopularity of theme choices.

But the editing problem is really hard to get rid of. The plot of the screening version is really too serious.

But this is Hollywood.

The final editing rights are also a relatively precious "right" in Hollywood. This right requires the box office to be the foundation.

If this drama was not funded by Wu Xiaozu, he really wouldn't have the chance to have such great power.

Fortunately... he is not only a director, but also a representative of the capital, and has his own ability to make money.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to grasp the theme and direction of your own movie.

"Cannes?" Xavi understood.

Wu Xiaozu did not comment. At this time, Cannes was naturally his first choice.

"Do you have any plans for the first Hollywood movie?" Harvey continued to ask, he was envious of Wu Xiaozu for a long time.

It's not just Wu Xiaozu's own production ability.

The other party's movie is the one he thinks is most suitable for adapting into a Hollywood movie. Whether it is "The Two Heroes" or "The Fear Room" is very suitable in mode.

In addition, there is a huge amount of capital behind the other party!

As Hollywood's production costs become increasingly high in recent years, in addition to financing locally, overseas has also become the target of many Hollywood companies.

"Specific projects may be launched next year." Wu Xiaozu responded vaguely.

In this Cine Tel's outside workshop, a sloppy man with a pork waist and a sloppy face shamelessly glanced at the white-collar female with legs raised and high heels hanging down in the plaid in front of her.

This man had a big, big, pig-shaped face with a silly look, staring at someone's feet with green eyes, and pursing his lips from time to time.

"Brother--"

A tall and tall man with a hook nose secretly hit the pig's waist and face, "If I were you, I must focus on your script now, rather than secretly watching a woman's feet here."

"The most beautiful thing in the world is the beautiful feet stepping on the pool of blood." The pig waist shrugged and sniffed his nose, "Is there any flying leaves? I'll have fun."

"FXXK! You Tennessee XX." Hawk-nosed cursed with a smile, handing over a free-flowing leaf cigarette and blinking his mouth. "The group of Asians in the inner room seem to be very rich, and the rich man from the East seems to be with Harvey... Isn't he interested?"

The pig's waist face held the flying leaves and sniffed it gently on the tip of his nose. When he heard the other person's words, his eyes lit up.

The two of them smiled.

They have done this kind of thing in Hollywood for no reason, and it is easy to trick these newcomers who have "gotten around" Hollywood.

The pig waist face picked up a stack of scripts and smiled.

In terms of format and story, this script is definitely very exciting. After all, it is the "material" he extracted from many videotapes he has watched.
