Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 178
A studio at the Karting Film Studio, UK.
The original place was an aircraft manufacturing plant, which was later shelved for various reasons.
In order to develop its remaining value, the City of London converted it into a film and television location.
The very wide space and various mechanical engineering inside are very suitable for the setting of Batman’s research on combat tools, so Christopher Nolan chose this as one of the shooting locations.
The slightly cheaper labor costs in the United Kingdom, the geographical advantage of being close to the United States, and the corresponding support policies such as framing tax incentives have jointly created a good environmental foundation for the selection of shooting.
And on the day of October 3, Roman flew here on a flight.
The propaganda work of “Mission Impossible 3” is still going on, and the later period has not been completely finished. Things on that side can come to an end. He also went to the “Batman” crew to take a look at the situation. After shooting for a week or two, he only found free time to rush over today.
In the afternoon, the shooting area was quiet, with Bruce Wayne played by Christian Bell and Lucius played by Morgan Freeman, the inventor of the Batmobile and the battle suit.
Roman stood behind the director’s camera, watching the shooting in the field, and nodding to himself.
The bridge section designed by Christopher Nolan already shows his personal style.
When this scene was completed, Nolan shouted “Ka!” before he stepped forward and said, “Director Nolan, is the shooting going well?”
Christopher Nolan, who had long discovered Roman’s arrival, replied with a smile: “It went well. The actor’s temperament is in line with the role, and the filming is not difficult.”
“Where is the team behind the scenes? Do you follow the instructions?” Roman asked again.
This was not a question he asked casually, but the entire filming team was mostly raised by Warner. Roman was afraid that Nolan’s face would not be useful to them, so he asked.
Christopher Nolan whispered: “It’s okay.”
When Roman saw him like this, and then thought of the situation reported by Lamy, he was sure in his heart that Nolan really couldn’t hold down some old fritters on the set.
People think for their own sake. Seeing that the director’s qualifications are still low, and the team is mostly acquaintances, there must be some trust, and you can think of it without giving face.
And this time, Roman came for this.
The director he chooses is naturally the right one to support him. What’s more, Roman really wants to win Nolan, not only for the Batman trilogy, but also because he is a talent in director, and his art and business are combined. Sex is definitely worth a heavy investment.
“Director Nolan, don’t be euphemistic. The Hollywood film industry has always had no shortage of manpower. Even if you fire a few people behind the scenes, you can quickly find better ones.”
Christopher Nolan seemed to be touched by these words. Thinking of what happened to him when he first entered the movie circle, he felt that these words were simply not too right.
There are countless actors, screenwriters, videographers, lighting engineers and people in various behind-the-scenes positions, as well as directors like him.
There are many film and television dramas in the United States every year, but compared with the huge number of jobs, there are very few opportunities.
When he first entered the film industry in his early years, he had to rely on good-hearted audiences and friends to pool money to save him the expenses needed for the shooting of his next work.
It was also during that very desolate period that he understood that it is useless to be self-confident, and market conditions must be taken into consideration. Only when your movie is valuable can you get the opportunity to shoot.
This is the real survival of the fittest, and only those who have the ability and can adapt to the environment can succeed.
Christopher Nolan believes that he is not bad, but there are a lot of people who are better than him. This requires the opportunity to prove himself.
And now, it’s an opportunity for him.
It is an incredible opportunity to direct an A-level project like Batman, so he must do well and succeed.
On the contrary, the small friction in the shooting was deliberately suppressed by him. He didn’t want to cause dissatisfaction with Warner because of this, or make others think that he, as a director, could not even control the crew.
“A little misunderstanding, it has been resolved, Mr. Roman, please don’t worry, I will advance the shooting schedule as soon as possible.”
After the filming of this scene was completed, Director Nolan began to direct the filming of the next scene.
Perhaps it was because Roman came to supervise the first day, he was still explaining his shooting ideas next to him.
The movie revolves around Bruce Wayne played by Christian Bale. Batman is naturally the undisputed protagonist. Whenever there is a scene with him, the main camera is basically fixed on him.
The rest of the supporting roles are all serving Bruce Wayne, either to set off or to oppose, in short, they must move closer to these two directions.
Between filming, Roman kept establishing the authority of Director Nolan in the crew.
Not only did he not interfere with any point of his shooting concept, but also gave him great trust, “Nolan, this film is very suitable for your style. You must try to use your rigorous view of details and narrative techniques, even if it is some For special effects shots, you can also try real shots. I will fully support your idea of directing.”
Christopher Nolan nodded: “Thank you for your support, Roman.”
After saying this, Roman didn’t bother Christopher Nolan’s work too much. Anyway, the filming was dominated by his director. In addition, just such a short shot of imaging, the combined picture feels very good, and his own You can also refer to it when editing the final version. There will be no problem with the final direction of the film.
Moreover, the nature of director Nolan determines that he will be the type of director who really considers the market, and does not pursue the so-called illusory art.
The filming started again, and Roman went to find Lamy.
The staff of Manhai Entertainment, who had no experience in managing the crew, have already embarked on the road of a real producer.
Serving as the production assistant of “Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow” is a relatively skilled errand.
“Long time no see, Lamy.” Roman stretched out his hand and patted Lamy on the shoulder, and then said again: “You seem to be a little thinner.”
After Lamy hadn’t seen him for a while, his skin was tanned to a pale wheat color, and the temperament of the whole person was a little different, a lot darker.
“No way, I ran two crews in a row in the past few months. I worked hard all day and didn’t have much rest. Of course I would lose weight.” Lamy said jokingly.
In fact, he himself is quite satisfied with this kind of reuse.
