Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 158

After a short relaxing night, the intense and busy filming work began again. The film has many locations. In addition to China, there are also the Tiber River in Rome, Italy, the ancient town of Xitang in Jiashan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Huangpu Tunnel of Jinmao Tower. . This also means that the crew needs to change the venue frequently. Originally, there was a shot in the German parliament building, but because they could not reach a consensus with the German government, this part of the location was abandoned and changed. Back to the domestic Los Angeles filming.

Paramount Pictures has also attracted many sponsorships for the film, including the travel and distribution of the protagonists, which are provided free of charge by Ford and Cadillac. Some of the advertising pictures that can be seen are also sold at good prices, which can be considered as good. The huge production funds for the movie have alleviated some production pressures.

In addition, in the shooting of some scenes, Paramount Pictures also showed its profound side. In the film, there were scenes of helicopters and missiles bombing the Golden Gate Bridge. For these, they had already contacted the Los Angeles Police Department to maintain the day. The order of the scene at the time of shooting.

The poor Golden Gate Bridge was once again blown up by Hollywood film practitioners.

The actual shooting of the helicopter flight is of course not a big deal. The Pentagon even dispatched a professional to take charge of the flight, and they also sponsored the helicopter for free.

Government agencies are involved in filming, which can be regarded as the norm in North America. A series of films such as “Independence Day”, “The Day After Tomorrow”, and “Break into the Dead Island” all have the participation of the American military or the provision of equipment and professionals. They are also willing to do so. Congress, the Pentagon, the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, Washington authorities, and even the public departments of major cities across the country have set up offices or liaison offices specifically to deal with the Hollywood film and television industry to provide support.

Hollywood also reciprocates when shooting movies. In most cases, it promotes a positive image of the military in the content of the movie. Although the quality of American soldiers has been criticized by others, it cannot withstand the effectiveness of such a long period of serial praise. This has made many people who are used to watching Hollywood blockbusters naturally admire the American military in their hearts.

Even if they repeatedly provoke wars, even if they often shoot and kill innocent people with guns, they still have a positive image in the hearts of the people of the world. This is what the Washington authorities want to see, so the country will spare no effort. Supporting the shooting of Hollywood movies and providing free equipment can get so many benefits. Thinking about it, it’s a very cost-effective business. As for people in the Middle East, will they die if they see it? It will have to wait for them to settle down. Let’s talk about it if you can afford Hollywood blockbusters.

In the past, Manhai Entertainment also cooperated with the Los Angeles Police Department when filming “The Infected”. After all, the fire deployment circle used in New York was finally blocked, and it was really impossible to complete such a spectacular scene without arranging a troop. What made Roman lamented was that “Mission: Impossible 3” did not have a positive image of the police. They were also willing to provide support, and even the Pentagon agreed to assist. Only in this way can we see how strong Paramount Pictures is.

In the next few days, the crew basically spent the noise produced by helicopters and the roar of simulated firepower weapons. Several leading actors, except for Tom Cruise, insisted, all retreated to the second line. Most Time is all about selling faces in front of the camera, not participating in the field shooting at all. After all, it is real swords and guns. Helicopters are also real flying. If something happens, it’s really not a joke.

Tom Cruise is not a person who is extremely reckless for the purpose of filming. The safety measures are still in place. The whole scene was filmed without any harm.

“Lieutenant Colonel…”

After filming all the Golden Gate Bridge scenes, Roman confronted the military consultant sent by the Pentagon to supervise the filming work. Ruth-Bertman said: “Thank you for the personnel and helicopters you provided. I believe that when the film is released, it will definitely be Audiences all over the world feel the charm of real shots.”

Lieutenant Colonel Ruth smiled and nodded, “Supporting the filming work is what we should do. I only hope that you can promote the professional image of American soldiers in the future. We will also be very grateful.”

As a person who deals with the Hollywood film industry all the year round, Lieutenant Colonel Ruth also knows how to say some good things. Hollywood film shooting needs their support, and they also need Hollywood films to establish a good image for them, and mutually beneficial cooperation.

The American government has always attached great importance to this area of ​​cultural propaganda. It only provides a helicopter and allows domestic flights, which is really nothing.

After filming these, the crew also began to prepare to go to Italy to film location scenes, but Roman could not go with them.

As the time enters March, Hollywood’s famous Oscars season is coming. The Devil Wearing Prada, jointly produced by Manhai Entertainment and Paramount Pictures, has been nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award and the Best Sound Editing Award. The producer of this film, naturally, can also go to the scene to observe the awards ceremony.

Although the film received two tasteless nominations, it is still two to say whether or not it can be awarded, but Roman is still reluctant to miss this opportunity to observe closely. In addition, the filming of “Mission Impossible 3” is getting smoother and smoother. The director Christopher McCauley has also greatly improved the relationship with the creative team.

Perhaps it was because Roman’s conversation with Tom Cruise that day had an impact on him. Since then, Tom Cruise has deliberately reduced his presence in the crew and tried his best not to change the director’s filming philosophy. In this way, the crew members headed by him also restrained themselves, Christopher McCauley’s directorial authority was further strengthened, and his mood was no longer as bored as at the beginning. The filming atmosphere of the crew is also on the right track.

Roman saw all of this in his heart, and he also felt that he was not very useful in staying on the crew. Moreover, Lamy, a person he trusted very much, accompanied the crew to Italy on location. He could understand some situations at any time. .

In this way, after talking to Paramount Pictures, he stayed in Los Angeles and waited for the next Oscar feast. He wanted to see how the various films in this awards competition will be used to obtain The appreciation of the judges and the votes in their hands also provided a basic impression of Manhai Entertainment’s needs in this regard.
