Chapter 219 Film OR Digital
"Gary, we have the latest release idea, Sunshine Beauty" switched to filming."
In the CPO office of Pretong headquarters, Gary Gotzman looked at the phone on his desk and frowned at the words of Terley Price, the director of DreamWorks distribution department.
In fact, he had already been surprised by what was happening in front of him. The entire project plan of LM was built by Ye Weiyi. At the beginning, this genius boy used money-saving production signs, such as shooting in Toronto, using high-definition digital cameras, etc., in order to spend more money on the online lineup and the film itself.
This is a very good and very professional plan, which has won a lot of favorable impressions for his project, and is one of the reasons why these things happened later.
However, the situation is different now, especially after Hanks and Roberts joined the starring role, the LM project has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it becomes out of place for digital shooting.
Gotzman knew that superstars would definitely want to use film. The reason is very simple. Film is still the only king of today. Its quality, its status, and even its working style are all loved by superstars. Many actors will be affected by the voices of film running, but these superstars who become superstars rely on film movies, but they are not used to it without their voices.
The most important thing is, safety, they took enough risks in playing LM.
"We mainly consider several aspects." Telly Price continued, "One is the impact on the box office. Although film is not promoted or numbers, the audience does not have much experience. This is also a variable. Moreover, the audience prefers the imaging effect of film, which will have a subconscious impact.
Another is the impact on the awards. If the quality of the film is enough to hit the awards season, then digital shooting will become a major flaw. You also know the ideas of those people in the college. Whether digital shooting is a movie or not has not been truly recognized."
"I know..." Gowzman of course understood that maybe in the near future, numbers will replace the status of film. For now, especially for a literary film, film is still the best choice. If the result of digital shooting is B, then it will be A or even A if it is replaced with film shooting.
This is a common view of the industry. Compared to digital, film shooting is a greater challenge, more difficult, more professional and more respected.
Before the views were changed by the trend of the times, the Oscars’ halls of honor belonged to film, and the NTV awards and the youth positioning awards did not care about these. Young people always accept new things faster than the old stubborn people in the academy.
The problem is, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Thinking of Oscars? Do you really do this for the Little Sunshine Beauty?"
It’s time to be happy. The mediocre achievements of "Polar Express" really make him unable to be happy. From the project establishment to the release for more than three years, the big production with high hopes has been miserable. He once again felt the cruelty of the film industry and the admonition: No matter what your mother said, don’t think that your project will be successful.
The ultimate lesson of many fantasies is the more you fall into a state of fever, the more likely it is to have a tragedy. Now many people are getting hot with Ye Wei.
Gotzman said with cold water: "But we also need to consider whether it is possible to suddenly switch to filming on film? Is it still early to shoot now, and the shooting schedule can be adjusted, but no matter how you adjust it, it is the total time of nine weeks. If you take films, will the actual working time every day be reduced at least, or even at the same time, only enough?"
"You can hurry up in time, it depends on how Vigge is doing," said Price. "He has a camera team."
Alas Gotzmann is a bit of a naive complaint. The publisher is the publisher. He doesn’t have much experience in the set and doesn’t know the actual situation at all.
That's right, Ye Wei is a director, not a photographer, so he doesn't have to operate the machine. With the same scene scheduling, film and numbers are no different for the director. The LM crew's photographer Sean Maurer has rich experience in filming filming and should be able to lead the crew to solve technical problems.
Some directors can't even recognize the photography equipment when filming their debut works.
But compared with film shooting, many new problems will arise, and the director is always the one who makes decisions. When facing emergencies, does Ye Wei have enough ability to deal with them? Who knows, who can be confident to give the answer?
Weige proved that he was a child prodigy, and "The Marriage is Coming" is all digital works. He may not even be able to tell the difference between negative and positive movies. Why is it so difficult for him? After all, he is still a 6-year-old boy
It is very different from being less difficult. Gotzman thinks that it is more practical to think about the awards season.
But he couldn't say that directly. He was the producer of the LM project. If he wanted to give DreamWorks confidence, he said, "Terley, let's ask Weige first.
"You remember to tell him that if you really have the confidence and ability to hit the awards season, but use digital shooting, everyone will regret it."
Terley seemed to hear that he was not very active and his words were quite meaningful. After hanging up the phone, Gotzman immediately complained: "The video was not done well, everyone should regret it even more.
He could see a disaster in the future. The preparation period was fine. Everything seemed to be very smooth. When the shooting period was in the first day of shooting, many problems occurred. Ye Wei was not familiar with the film set and couldn't solve it. Miscellaneous things happened one after another. The worst thing was that there was not enough time and nothing was done in the day.
However, in order to catch up with the progress, I had to adjust the schedule and delete some script scenes. The ones that should have been left in the editing room to decide on the choice, but made a decision on the set. However, it still doesn't work. It can only sacrifice quality and rush every day to shoot a bunch of mediocre images with no camera language and exquisite performances.
To the awards season? First of all, you need quality to impact. Winning a bad movie can only impact the Golden Raspberry Award. At that time, is it a number or film? Who cares
Thinking of this, Gotzman almost had to reply to Ye Wei. No, really not.
The biggest question now is, when Tom finds out and Weige knows, what will they react? How can Daxigong really switch to film? Open Pandora's box
You must not let them mess around, how should you tell them?
In Toronto, the snow is falling.
Ye Wei was in a very beautiful mood. Nina is so cute. Once she chose understanding and trust, her enthusiasm for him quickly rose from 6 below the passing line. In almost the blink of an eye, she returned to 3.
Before she left the cliff park, she returned to the car and took a SLR camera to take pictures as a souvenir. She seemed to have all come back. She made funny expressions next to the snow sculptures. She relied on her body to make some incredible actions, and took the snow fitness ball seriously as a fitness ball. She bent over the snow palace and leaned back, rode on the snow pig and rushed forward...
It really made him sweat, for fear that she would not stand firmly and fall down and smash his precious artwork.
After having enough fun, I left the park, went to a nearby restaurant for breakfast, and went to school.
From today on, Ye Wei no longer wears glasses to school and no longer deliberately conceals his identity. The power of that pair of glasses has been verified again. Because VIY is in the limelight, he was recognized several times in the morning. When he was having dinner in the cafeteria at noon, it inevitably caused a sensation.
Starting from an Asian female student, a group of people from all ethnic groups surrounded by laughter and screaming, attracting the attention of people in the canteen.
"Are you really VIY?", "Oh my god, you are here too? How long have you been?", "I can't believe you can give me a signature?", "VIY, I like you very much."
Ye Wei scanned the smiling faces of everyone at the dining table, and the more he surrounded him. Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw Nina standing not far away and looking at Damian sitting opposite him.
"Guys, thank you, thank you." Ye Wei raised his right hand, "It's me, the God of Wedding, the person who likes me, cheer."
"Ahhh" A burst of excitement suddenly broke out in the cafeteria. No matter the boys or girls around, they were very excited. The teachers were also surprised and came to evacuate the crowd.
"Great, great." Some Asian girls were so excited that they burst into tears, surprise, unrestrained, and a fanatical atmosphere filled the air, making young men and women feel like they were in a party.
Ye Wei smiled, never letting people who like him down, and was happy today, and said loudly: "Do you know what happened to it when I kicked the cake to the ground during the filming of the "Wedding Day is Coming"?"
As everyone's smiling faces looked at him, he stood up and continued, "It was very angry and said, 'Director, although I am a cake, I am also an actor. Sometimes you have to kick actors, sometimes you can't kick, let alone kick so hard I won't shoot it anymore, and then, it leaves."
Before he finished speaking, he danced an impromptu gait dance into the crowd (aaI, "Come on, baby, let's get up."
Everyone laughed loudly, laughing for his humor and his blood boiling for his dancing. This is really VIY
The entire cafeteria was detonated. Everyone who thought Ye Wei would be arrogant and difficult to get close to and was posing as a celebrity cheered at this time, and some people joined in the dance. The free atmosphere of the art school and were proficient in dancing. The passion brought by Ye Wei made them enjoy this flashy CaaI. If there was a B⊥ playing the Dji, it would be perfect.
Nina looked at him from a distance, laughed and clapped. Yunik was so cool. She had always wanted him to be a cool kid, but... she was so uncomfortable.
Wexford was shocked and enthusiastic on this day. Thousands of students in the school knew about it. Ye Wei was studying here.
Not everyone likes him, nor everyone cares about him, but for supporters, it's like winning a lottery
"Nina, your neighbor turned out to be a big star, God, when are you going to hide it from us?"
"I want to sign a photo, it's great"
Things that were not used to were like a blowout. They were chattering by classmates and friends at school, and after school, Hailei and others were chattering by Nina's phone was about to explode. They said they must see Ye Wei today, otherwise they would not let her go. I really couldn't stand it, so she made an appointment with them to meet at the "Mandarin Restaurant" in Golden Square in the evening, and she would take him there.
You can't let those crazy girls know that Yunik lives in her house, otherwise you will definitely be in peace every day.
After practicing ballet for two hours, Nina was very satisfied with her performance today. Unfortunately, when she saw Yunik dozing off on the sidelines, the two drove to Golden Square.
When she came to the street outside the Mandarin restaurant, she finally lost the only little guilt for not giving her friends a bad nickname.
Just as a dream came true, on the street under the night sky, a group of nearly ten girls were already waiting there, Hailee, Alice, Monica, Liz... When she and Yunik walked, they screamed at the same time and rushed over to surround Yunik, "VIY", "Oh my god, I really saw you."
Regardless of whether they were VIY fans or not, they are all crazy now. Hailei, the big fan, is about to cry, ignores her existence, and hugs Yunik and holds a real person.
"Hailey" Nina suddenly became anxious, "I said you can't do this..."
"You are so stingy. I can hold you every day, so I will hold you for a while." Hailei hugged her tighter. Alice also squeezed up and said, "I want to hug you too, Wei, don't you mind?" He was so shameless. He actually called "Wei" so intimately. Fortunately, he did not defile "Yunick". Alice smiled and said, "My name is Alice. I have loved you for a long time. Can we be friends? This is my dream."
Dream? Nina is almost angry to death. Alice was not a fan of VIYR before, but all celebrities are just gossiping. If dreams refer to having a celebrity friend, that would be reasonable.
But what happened to Liz? In the past, Hailei and the others talked about VIY and did not join the discussion. Now they are like a veteran fan, rushing to hold Yunick's other arm, as if she is his girlfriend. I can't believe it.
"Can you kiss you? Just the cheeks" Liz asked.
"Uh...you're going to ask Nina, that's her territory." Ye Wei sneered.
"Oh" the girls screamed enviously, why didn't their boyfriends know how to say that?
Nina put her hands on her waist and wanted to scold them, but suddenly she felt that forget it, what's the point of having to worry about them? Look at how happy Hailei is, don't let it go. Oh, who called me a good person? She curled her lips and said, "If you want to kiss, just hug them, just one minute, don't kiss them, I2B starts."
"Wow" The girls immediately rushed to kiss Ye Wei and hug him. It was essential to hug him. He kissed his cheeks so excited that his face flushed. He also hugged him with both hands, buried his head in his chest, one after another.
Why is time so slow Nina looked at her phone anxiously, and from the beginning it didn't matter, she quickly became so popular, she was not that good person couldn't stand it, she really couldn't stand it, no matter whether it was time or not, she shouted anxiously: "One minute is over, stop, stop."
"Hahaha" Liz, Monica and the others walked away with satisfaction. Although Hailei was reluctant to leave, she did not continue. Alice pinched Yunik's butt in a lewd manner, looking full of joy, as if she was saying: I made a profit, I made a lot of money
"Uh... OK." Ye Wei shrugged.
It was impossible for Nina to be angry. She wouldn't rush up like that and wiped his wet cheeks on both sides of her face, stared at them, declared sovereignty and said, "Don't go too far."
"Relax, we're just so happy." "Yes," "The photo has just begun."
This buffet party was crazy and playful. Fortunately, it was quite short. Everyone had enough food and had enough photos and autographs. Then they went to worship. She and Yunik took a Land Rover car and left. The crazy girls made envious and ambiguous screams next to the car, thinking that they still had the second half of the event, and that it was SP¨
Oh my God, Nina is ashamed of these bad friends she knows for the first time. These people are too embarrassed and too bad.
Yunik is right. If he knew he was VIY at the beginning, he might be one of them, which is really too bad.
Under the night sky, Land Rover was moving on the road home. It had already been a long way. Ye Wei was still laughing and feeling very interesting. "Nina, your gymnastics friends are so enthusiastic. I like them, hahaha."
"Hmph." Nina flattened her mouth and suddenly felt a little unhappy, "Yes, I'm not apart from them, I'm just lucky..."
Ye Wei stopped laughing and looked at her. He knew that the silly girl was still unstable. He coaxed her again: "You know that I only have you in my heart. Anyway, you have clearly seen everyone's VIY today, right? Are you a little different from Yunik?"
"Of course..." Nina muttered. After a day, of course she felt that which one was true and which one was false. If Yunik was the real one, then the situation was not very bad. They knew nothing, and they didn't know anything, but she knew it.
"Nina, I'm sorry, there will be many differences in dating me. There are no paparazzi in Toronto, but sooner or later... you will also come into the public eye. You will be under pressure. All I can do is try my best to protect you." Ye Wei said, "This problem cannot be solved, I can only adapt and face it."
Nina smiled slightly, "I don't think these are problems. Isn't it just some media attention? I'm fine, but "I just don't lie to me anymore."
At this time, Ye Wei's cell phone suddenly rang. He saw that it was a working phone. He usually paid attention to hiding his identity, turned to the voice message mailbox and replied. Now he didn't need it. He answered the call, put on the earbuds, and said, "Hello?"
"Weige, it's me." Gotzman's voice came from the earplugs. "Today, there is a new idea on DreamWorks distribution department. We need to listen to your ideas first. I hope the little beauty of Sunshine over there" switched to filming."
"What? Are you kidding me? Switch to filming?" Ye Wei was shocked when he heard this. "That would be a lot of work and a waste of time. Just changing the film adds up, I have to spend several days of shooting days. Why do I have this idea?"
"Huh, just like you know..."
