Chapter 581 Applying for an Oscar

The digital domain has completed their work, and the rest is for Chen Kangjie and the others. However, in order to ensure the quality of editing and make up for his lack of understanding of editing techniques, James Cameron and Chen Kangjie were arrested. He must assisted Chen Kangjie to complete the editing of the film within ten days. 【 】

All the demo tapes of the original film were sent to the editing room of Miramax Company. Chen Kangjie, James Cameron, Harvey, Jedika, and Luo Fuman were busy working on these demo tapes day and night. .

In order to complete the editing and production of this movie, Chen Kangjie has watched his own movie 50 times, repeatedly making revisions and technical processing.

Although Chen Kangjie shot this film on the basis of the original film, it is still different from the original film in many aspects, for example, the scene is bigger, and the snowfield shootout with Michaela as a stand-in is more flexible and realistic. The clip was also edited to have only one bridge, instead of the obvious two bridges like the original film. Harry drove a fighter jet through the glass tail and flung it into the terrorist-occupied building. The cleaning man was also changed by Chen Kangjie to a terrorist who was going to the toilet, because in that case, it is illogical for ordinary residents to appear in the building. The police and military will definitely evacuate the residents. Of course, In order to increase the humorous atmosphere, the terrorist originally wanted to pull up his pants and raise his gun to shoot, but was knocked down by the exhaust of the fighter jet and hit the toilet and fainted. . . . . .In addition to these, some lines were also slightly modified by Chen Kangjie, and some unclear voices in some battle scenes were also dubbed additionally.

In short, this film has consumed almost all of Chen Kangjie's free time for the past six months, and it also allowed him to learn a lot of filming knowledge and skills.

Being a director is mainly about using your brain and talking, and the specific work is the photographers, makeup artists, set designers, props, drama managers, etc. Chen Kangjie has been learning from them when he was a director.

After everything was done, Chen Kangjie invited all the senior executives and main creative personnel of the film company to the small screening room of Miramax Company to watch it completely, which is a sneak peek.

"Hey, I've never been so tired. This movie is finally finished. Do you have any comments?" After the movie was shown, Chen Kangjie stood up from the front seat and walked to the front, leaning against the wall with his hands folded in front of his chest. Ask everyone.

During this period, he had to stay in the editing room for more than ten hours every day. Even Chen Kangjie, who is physically strong, would inevitably feel a little tired.

"I think it's pretty good. The first movie has such visual effects and a coherent plot. Long, you are a rare movie genius. At the beginning, I was a little worried about you, haha," said Jon. Gordon was the first to stand up and speak.

"Jon, your compliment is enough. I'm not a genius. To be honest, most of the work for this movie was done by the friends sitting here. I just threaded the needle. Here, I would like to thank everyone support and help", after speaking, Chen Kangjie let go of his hands and bowed slightly.

As Chen Kangjie bent down, there was a round of applause from below. Although there were not many people, the applause was very enthusiastic.It is for Chen Kangjie's humility, and also for the completion of this film.

"Long, I'm very proud. It's the first time that a Chinese filmed such a large-scale film. This may be a precedent for Chinese filmmakers." Li Li put away her clapping hands and said with a smile on her face.

Director Wu Yusen's "Broken Arrow" will not be filmed until two years later, so Li Li's words are not too much. This film should indeed be the first Chinese director's production cost over 100 million US dollars, and the total cost is as high as 100 million US dollars. $[-] million, $[-] million more than the James Cameron-directed original.

"Hehe, I hope." Chen Kangjie smiled modestly.

"Long, after our many revisions, I really don't know what else needs to be added or deleted." James Cameron neither praised nor belittled, but said realistically about the film itself.

"I would like to add one more question. As far as I know, the glass cover of a fighter jet is very hard. It is impossible to smash it with the power of a submachine gun. How could Aziz's submachine gun smash the Harrier fighter jet driven by Harry?" The glass cover is broken?" Scott, the vice president of Miramax, rarely participated in the filming and production of this film. He is mainly responsible for the distribution and screening of the company's films, so it is a bit unclear. The only thing he felt was unreasonable.

"Hehe, let the photographer Mr. Carpenter answer this question for you." Chen Kangjie thought that no one would pay attention to this question, but unexpectedly, it was brought up in the company.

"That's right. We also know that submachine guns can't penetrate the glass cover of a fighter jet, but we have to do this. The scene you mentioned was mainly shot from top to bottom, and there were several close-up shots. If the glass cover is not If it is smashed, trouble will come, the camera and the staff will be seen because of the reflection of the glass cover, and I can’t get rid of it after trying many methods, so I suggest that the submachine gun should be used to smash all the glass cover above Harry’s head,” said Ka Punt sat down and explained to Scott.

"Yes, I don't want too many bugs in the film. Although it is unreasonable for professionals, fortunately, the vast majority of viewers don't know about this situation. There are very few people," Chen Kangjie added.

Scott shrugged in favor of that explanation, but said he had no other objections.

"Does anyone have any comments?" Chen Kangjie continued to ask.

"No, anyway, I think it's better than I expected, and I'm very satisfied," Schwarzenegger, the male number one, responded.

"I think so, for me, this is not a small breakthrough," Curtis nodded and said.

"It seems that everyone has basically approved this film, so it will be finalized. I will return to China in two days. I will leave the distribution and release to Mr. Scott. If other colleagues can help, please do as much as possible." Help," Chen Kangjie stepped forward and said.

"Long, are you going back so soon?" Danni, who was wearing a short black skirt, seemed a bit reluctant for Chen Kangjie to leave so soon.

"Yes, like you, I also need to go to school. Until the summer vacation, I can't leave or come to the United States." Chen Kangjie nodded and answered Dani's words, "So I will leave the work to everyone."

"Long, there is a question I want to ask first, should we apply for this film for the Oscars?" Jon Gordon took the time to ask a crucial question.

"Huh? Do you still need to apply for the Academy Awards? Isn't the jury selected from the films released?" Chen Kangjie knew nothing about the selection process of the Academy Awards, whether it was before or after rebirth, he did not I have paid attention to this issue, and it is said that the review rules have dozens of pages.

"It's so troublesome! Then why don't people call him the Academy Award and call it the Oscar? How did this name come from?" Chen Kangjie asked, scratching his head.

"For this, because it was six or seventy years ago, no one can say for sure. Anyway, there are many theories, but the generally accepted statement in the industry is that the female administrator of the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 70 Margaret Herridge exclaimed, "Ah!He looks so much like my uncle Oscar! "The news reporter next door wrote after listening: "The staff of the Academy of Arts and Sciences affectionately called their golden statue "Oscar." Since then, this alias has spread like wildfire", Jon Gordon talked about It's an old story, and not everyone who is sitting here has heard of this story.

"It's interesting, hehe, then you can figure it out. I think it is difficult for our film to win any awards." The reason why Chen Kangjie is so unconfident is because this film in history only won a no-nonsense visual effects award.

"Even if you don't win an award, it's good to be nominated. If you can get nominated, the box office can generally increase by 3000 million US dollars. Entering the ranks of internationally renowned film stars or internationally renowned directors will double your net worth. Otherwise, how could there be so many film companies rushing for this award?" Let's talk about this issue from the perspective of the market.

"No wonder, well, since there are such great benefits, then apply, and try to get one or two statuettes for fun." Chen Kangjie has never let go of things that are beneficial.

He didn't expect his net worth to double, no matter how high his net worth was, it didn't matter to him, anyway, he was spending his own money to shoot, so he thought he could earn more dollars, so why not do it.
