Hollywood Drawing - Chapter 621

Popular recommendation:

After mid-November, “X-Men” ended all filming work, the entire crew returned to Los Angeles under the leadership of Kevin Feige, and immediately began post-production work on the film at the urging of Twentieth Century Fox. .

At the same time, Wayne went to lead some of the crew members of “The Flash” and boarded a chartered flight to Canada. The main scenes were about to be filmed, and the crew had to rush to the end of the filming work, according to the pre-explored plan, on the spot. Framing work.

“The news just came that the “Charlie’s Angels” crew has been disbanded at the airport.”

On the outskirts of Toronto, Canada, Nina glanced at the filming scene that had just ended, and whispered to Wayne’s side: “John Gray asked for instructions, director Joseph McGinty-Nicher wants to join the post-production work.”

“Let him join, but only with editing suggestions!”

When Wayne heard the news, he thought for a moment and said, “Notify John that he is the producer for editing opinions, but let Joseph join in so that his opinions can be properly considered.”

“OK.”

Nina nodded, took out her mobile phone, and walked aside while covering the microphone.

Wayne is a director, but it is because he is a director that he understands that the post-production work of the film, especially the film editing work, cannot be handed over to the film director. This is also a practice in Hollywood. The director also has no editing power.

Standing in a different position, it is understandable that the direction of things will change. The reason why Hollywood allows producers to preside over the post-production work is because the producers will stand in the perspective of the employer and edit the film based on the market.

For the director, it is definitely hoped to be able to edit the things he shoots by himself, but decades of experience in the circle show that often the director decides the editing, and the finished film will have something that contradicts the market.

For example, the duration of a movie, of course, each director will try to keep the material he shoots as much as possible, but from the perspective of the market, commercial films must compress the duration, the shorter the better. Only in this way can the movie be shown more times in a single day after it enters the theater.

Quite simply, a two-and-a-half-hour movie and a one-hundred-minute movie can open two to three more shows in a day than the former. Comparing the two, with the same film quality, there is a gap in the box office. Very big.

That’s right, many Hollywood studios have frequently been exposed to the failure of the director to be kicked out of the project after the filming is completed. Some big directors with considerable positions in the circle will inevitably have such experiences, and Ridley Scott must have the most say in this regard.

However, relatively speaking, when such a thing is placed in the entire Hollywood, the proportion will become very small, so small that it is negligible. More often, producers who know the market better will preside over the editing meeting. Much more reliable.

“Mr. Greenberg, are you sure, uh…”

While Robert and the others were packing up the camera equipment, James Franco, the actor of the cast, came over, and he asked hesitantly, “Are you sure, I just pose with a blank face? Isn’t it enough? Need another show? I know this scene…”

“enough.”

With a wave of his hand, Wayne interrupted the other party with a smile. “You know, James, all the shots we shoot are edited in post.”

James Franco kept his mouth shut even though the film, whether it was a lot of green screen performance or some of the action during the framing, left James Franco baffled.

“Julia.”

The smile on Wayne’s face did not diminish. Seeing the depression on his hero’s face, he turned his head and shouted to the senior sister not far away. “Dear senior, please, tell our Mr. Franco what is called the Kurishov effect.”

The editor Julia, who looks like a black aunt, usually shows herself as a bystander in the crew, but she has never been absent from the shooting process, because only in this way can you better understand the director’s ideas in the later editing. intention.

“Ok, no problem.”

After hearing Wayne’s sarcastic order, she cracked her mouth with a smile, showing her white teeth and looking at James Franco.

“Back in 1918, the film industry in the whole world was in its infancy, and all the techniques were still developing…”

Her slow narration not only attracted the attention of James Franco, but also attracted the interest of many staff in the crew. A group of people surrounded Julia like this, busy with the work at hand, while listening to her talk about the so-called so-called The “Kurischoff Effect”.

“It’s the polar bear country that has disintegrated. A film director named Kurishov made a very interesting experiment. He first took a close-up of an actor’s expressionless face, and then compared this shot to three The unrelated shots were put together and then shown to three different groups of people and asked to record how the viewers felt.”

Looking around the crowd of curious babies, Julia opened her hands to Wayne. This is actually just a must-have knowledge for editors, but these actors and the staff responsible for the pre-shooting have not necessarily heard of it.

Without stopping, she continued to speak. “The first group of viewers first saw a close-up of the man’s expressionless face, and then saw a bowl of soup. After watching the audience, they praised the man’s acting skills, saying that his eyes were full of hunger for food.

The second group of viewers also saw a close-up of the man’s expressionless face, and then saw a woman lying on the coffin. After the audience watched it, they still praised the man’s acting skills, saying that his eyes were full of sympathy and compassion.

The third group of viewers first saw the expressionless close-up of the man’s face, and then saw a little girl holding a teddy bear. This time the audience still praised the man’s acting skills, saying that his eyes were full of fatherly love visible to the naked eye! ”

Speaking of this, a very obvious embarrassment appeared on James Franco’s face. From these words, it is not difficult to think that the reason why I feel good in filming, and is often proud of being called by the director once or twice, is probably because of the same situation!

“Do you want to continue talking?” Julia keenly saw the embarrassment of the hero and asked with a smile.

“It doesn’t matter.” James Franco found that the smiles on the faces of all the staff around him were all kind, and he simply spread his hands and nodded. “I mean of course.”

“So, Kurishov discovered that a shot, edited with another totally unrelated shot, would have a third meaning. Later, this pervasive psychological effect was called (Curry) Schoff effect).”

Almost all of them had an expression of sudden realization. Wayne smiled and shook his head, while he lit a cigarette while protecting the fire with his hands, and took over with a smile. “This may be unfamiliar to you. If you put it another way, you will definitely feel very familiar. With the development of the film industry, the editing method known as the Kurishov effect is now called: montage.”

With a cigarette in his mouth, he reached out and patted James Franco on the shoulder, explaining: “So, don’t think that you are just posing, and the expressionless camera is useless. More pictures and effects, in fact It was always in my head and Julia’s head, and these shots were edited and processed in post, and when they appeared on the big screen, they brought a completely different meaning to the audience.”

For the current James Franco, the actor is still a process of realizing the ideal, so in the face of some things that he did not understand during the shooting process, he still maintains curiosity. But with the passage of time, after most actors turned into stars, the industry has completely lost its edge with ideals, and more of a job to earn a living, or gain fame and fortune.

This is the difference. Those old fritters don’t ask the director about the meaning of their performance. What they care about is whether their shots will be preserved more, the length of time they will appear on the big screen, and this After the job is over, how much money and how much fame can you bring to yourself?

This is why Wayne is willing to explain it to him. In fact, most actors generally do not have access to post-production work. After the filming is completed, they will pursue the next job and perform in other crews according to the director’s requirements.

Throughout the middle and late November, some of the crew members of “The Flash” stayed in Canada and continued to work on framing. Most of the things they are shooting now will be edited and synthesized in post-production, combined with the previously shot footage.

“I’m so thankful to God~www.mtlnovel.com~ for the privilege of being a part of The Flash.”

Seeing that December is approaching, the crew quickly ended their work in Canada. After returning to Los Angeles, James Franco, the actor of the crew, who was the focus of many media attention, said in an interview with reporters at the airport:

“I have learned a lot from Mr. Greenberg. Whenever I have doubts about filmmaking, he will patiently explain to me. Why do you use mobile photography in different scenes, why do you want to shoot Why use a static camera in the camera, why do you need to follow up with a large elevation angle, and so on.

He is like a knowledgeable film teacher. Every time I discuss with him, I can better understand the difficulty and difficulty of the director’s work. But, you know, that’s the joy of being able to work with a great director, and I’ve built a really interesting character in his mind, and it’s like a dream trip. ”

Seeing that the filming of “The Flash” is coming to an end, Warner Bros. will inevitably start pre-promotion, and James Franco’s interview is just one of the arrangements.

Since returning to Los Angeles, every one or two days, the crew will release a movie poster or related information on the media under Warner Bros., on the Internet that has gradually emerged, so that “The Flash” frequently appears in ordinary people. in people’s lives.

By the middle of December, even though the filming of “The Flash” was about to end, Wayne was too busy to care about any other issues, so he had to temporarily put down his work, put on a formal dress, and went to participate. A movie premiere because the big ship is finally here.
