My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1424 The filming starts, unfortunately out
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Outside the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts, the crew of "Brave to Kill the Island" officially started here.

There is a scene here where Mason, played by Sean Connery, meets his daughter here.

This scene is not complicated, but this street will film the previous car chase scenes in the movie after this.

Yuan Kui directed the prop group not far away with a loudspeaker to carry out the final walk.

Although he took over the job of "Taxi Express", he still has to complete the work of action direction for "Into the Deadly Island" before that. These car chase scenes can be regarded as a small climax in the early stage of the film.

In Hollywood's classic three-stage narrative structure, the story of a movie develops from the beginning to the end with strict time requirements.

In the first 10 minutes, three things need to be explained to the audience: who are the main characters, what is the dramatic premise, and what is the dramatic situation.

These settings are designed to stimulate the audience's psychological mechanism of curiosity and empathy for the characters.

Empathy is an important part of the film.

The empathy in "Four Seas" is very bad.

On the contrary, "Brave to Kill the Island" does a very good job in this regard, which is why this commercial film has a high reputation-it has created a very successful 'villain', or the audience is very fond of the role of the villain. There is empathy, which is why it is said that this movie does not have a pure 'villain'.

In fact, a large number of successful large-scale commercial films in later generations basically did not escape the three-stage narrative structure.

Although the famous "Changjin Lake" is a story about our position, the overall narrative is also a three-stage presentation.

The overall completion is very high, and the only thing that has been criticized is the so-called 'human wave tactics' charge.

If you are poor, you will be interspersed with detours, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

Interspersed roundabout this is our housekeeping skills.

Of course, the flaws do not conceal the merits. This film has been completed to such a high degree in such a short period of time. In fact, it is still a very mature commercial production.

But it is undeniable that in this regard, we are indeed still in the learning stage, so it is not shameful~~
What's wrong with accepting criticism in order to correct it?
Audience criticism is a normal thing.

Is it really possible for someone to criticize you and then say 'I'll quit, you'll be the one'?Not to mention the coercion of amateurs by public opinion... or say that you follow your own rogue logic.

Having said that, Wu Xiaozu has experience in the large-scale scheduling of several previous movies. Although "Brave to the Deadly Island" is more professional in terms of mode, it is not a big problem after getting started.

It's just that it really made Wu Xiaozu feel "restricted".

In the crew, several insurance company personnel are making the final confirmation and judgment. Only if they think it is OK, can the next "dangerous action" be shot.

Yes, such a large investment project naturally requires a completion guarantee.

The completion guarantee system for movies is not only conducive to supervising the institutional process of movies, but also provides guarantee services for movie production guarantees, and some production companies also spread risks.One of the important factors why Hollywood can have such a good film industry and its continuous development is because there is a perfect film guarantee system here.

In later generations, since 2014, both the Beijing Film Festival and Shanghai Film Festival have discussed the feasibility of this issue in the forum of "Film Completion Guarantee - Local Exploration of Film and Television Financial Products".

However, it was not until a few years later that "Blood of the Machine" became the first domestic film in the history of Chinese film to use the completion guarantee service, and this system was not even officially promoted until 2021... As for how to implement it, no one gave any advice. A quasi-letter.

Therefore, instead of saying that Chinese-language film companies study the "financial product" of films, it is better to study this more forward-looking way.

Wu Xiaozu watched helplessly as the insurance company conducted research on 'risk control'.

"Don't worry, a mature industrial film needs a more standardized industry process, so as to avoid the abortion of the film."

Jerry Bruckheimer, in a suit and white shirt without a tie, raised his coffee cup with a smile, "You have to learn to enjoy the rare leisure time."

"Well, I think I'll get used to it."

Wu Xiaozu grinned indifferently, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

Anyway, it's like an ant is like an elephant now --- I can't work hard, so I might as well take a rest.

It has to be said that for Wu Xiaozu, this working system in Hollywood is still in the getting used to stage.

"It's a pity this Golden Globe Award." Jerry Bruckheimer glanced sideways at Wu Xiaozu, "In my opinion, "No Man's Land" should have had better results."

The 50th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is over. "No Man's Land" can't be said to have failed, but it can only be said that the harvest was dismal.

The best feature film did not win "Scent of a Woman", and the best director was also won by Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven". Foreign language films.

Basically a consolation prize.

Although "No Man's Land" actually received rave reviews from some North American film critics after the trial screening, and won some film critic awards, it is clear that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not really value this film.

Wu Xiaozu was not surprised.

Al Pacino's "Scent of a Woman" starred in the peak period is a typical American chicken soup, and the film itself is a remake of the 1974 Italian film "Scent of a Woman".
But it is undeniable that this is a very delicious chicken soup masterpiece, and the award of this drama is too in line with the mainstream view of Hollywood.

Besides...

These foreign reporters are really amateurs. Obviously, this movie is more famous than "No Man's Land", and Al Pacino is more in line with their cognition.

Even more so for Clint Eastwood's Best Director.

"Pulp Fiction" was able to win Oscars mainly because of the low competition pressure, which is a typical award year. At the same time, the genre, influence and operation of this play are all extraordinary.

In comparison, a mainstream Chinese work like "No Man's Land" obviously couldn't hit the hearts of the judges.

Yankees don't care about the rest of the world except when they're the world's police.

What's more, Wu Xiaozu is still a film about human nature in depth.

Therefore, if "No Man's Land" wants to win the Golden Globe Award, it is purely Khrushchev's belching-eating too much corn on the cob.

If he wants to really gain recognition in this place, he has to clench his fists like the old Biden-holding a big one.

"I'm not that lost."

Wu Xiaozu shrugged with a smile, "Okay, I'm really disappointed, but it's not a bad thing to regret being out, at least I can put my heart and soul into this drama, isn't it?"

"Hehe~~" Jerry Bruckheimer smiled cheerfully, he could see that Wu Xiaozu really didn't take it too seriously.

Of course, as Wu Xiaozu said, the exit of this drama made him concentrate more on the filming of the movie in front of him.

This is also the scene that Jerry Bruckheimer would like to see.
