Chapter 271 Keira Vomited Again ([-]-in-[-])

Although the assistant director was responsible for the actual directing of those group scenes, every step was designed by Gore and Jerry. They shot those messy scenes showing the medieval Caribbean.

For example, some shots of Port Royal, and Tutuga Island where pirates gathered and ignored them, etc. Not many of these were ultimately used in the feature film, but they were still indispensable parts.

In these pictures, both people and other beings look dirty.

In fact, most of the characters who appear in this movie have very few scenes of fair skin. Perhaps only Elizabeth before being captured by Barbossa and Brigadier Norrington are fair.Others, including the protagonist Captain Jack, were not much better. Their clothes were sloppy and their teeth were even yellowed.

Even though Will, played by Orlando, has a cleaner look than Captain Jack Sparrow, there is still a huge gap between him and the pretty face of the elf prince before him.

Not to mention the other actors, in order to achieve the dirty picture effect, some of Gore's methods made the group of extras complain.

When Lu Heng and the others were filming, Gore sent all the extras who were about to go on stage outside the studio to go for a run in the huge gravel open air of the Disney Studio, and they had to be under the sun.

Although it's not hot now, the climate here is mainly dry and windy. Whoever tries it knows how it feels.

In fact, the main reason was that Gore and Jerry were dissatisfied with the costumes prepared by the costume team. Although they were distressed, they still did not have that dirty texture during the test shoot.

Gore’s requirements for the extras are very clear, that is, they are asked to wear the assigned costumes under the sun on the open-air set for three days, and no one is strictly allowed to take them off or wash them, and all the actors are not allowed to take a bath during these three days .

Of course, their salary is also higher than usual, not to mention that it is such a large-scale production crew, it is impossible for them to be unwilling.

The effect came quickly. After three days of being outside in the dusty weather, I was still running. My costume was repeatedly soaked with sweat and dust. My body was also a mess. My hair was stuck together and smelled stinky and dirty. The medieval civilian style is so perfectly restored.

Not only the extras, except for the governor, brigadier general and other actors playing nobles during the filming, including Lu Heng, the costumes have been distressed. The stains and traces of use are obvious, making people subconsciously feel that they are real. Use something instead of a makeshift costume.

Lu Heng actually knew very well that this was the effect the film wanted!

This kind of fantasy blockbuster is not a typical Disney fairy tale type. Although it is legendary, if it is too idolized, the audience cannot really get involved.

Therefore, in every preparation process, both producers and directors such as Jerry and Gore, as well as the production company, will strive to conform to the background of that era.

Although the Hollywood movie world is famous, not all Hollywood movies can achieve this level of sophistication.

And it turns out that wherever you put in the effort, the audience can see it. Unlike some directors who can't poop and complain about the pain in their buttocks, this movie was made in the era when Pirates of the Caribbean was rampant. Unless you are a noble, it would be difficult to make it. Take a shower every day.

Take a shower every day, shave and blow your hair. Is that still a pirate?
Who can expect a group of pirates to smile with eight teeth that are as white as porcelain?

Not only clothing, but also styling is treated this way.

Including Lu Heng himself, although his complexion is not from the sun, the oil paint on his face from morning to night makes him very uncomfortable, and with his hairstyle, it takes him an hour or two to put on makeup alone every day.

On the contrary, it was Keira and Orlando, who put on makeup very quickly.

This made Kayla joke with Lu Heng from time to time, saying that this was the first time she had seen an actor wearing makeup for longer than an actress. Lu Heng looked at her with a smile, "You haven't filmed the second part yet, you will find out then." , the villain of the second film, Davy Jones, has an earth-shattering effect.

Are you afraid of octopus tentacles all over your face?

Of course, a lot of his work relies on post-production special effects, and Will's father, Old Turner, is a serious makeup artist. It can no longer even be called makeup, but dress-up.

The small scallops and barnacles embedded in the face... Even if you don't have trypophobia, you will be overwhelmed by looking at it. If you look at it twice more, you will have to vomit the last night's meal.

Because of these very uncomfortable scenes, this second part was not released in China. It was really disgusting and opened the door to nausea. It was so disgusting.

However, Lu Heng suddenly remembered... In the second part, Jack met old Turner in the cabin at the beginning...

Isn't that me and him?
face to face...

Thinking of the scene in his memory, Lu Heng suddenly trembled all over~~~
In addition to the huge No. [-] studio in Disney Studios, which is used to build caves and dilapidated medieval towns, No. [-] studio is used as the crew's office and training space, and the adjacent No. [-] studio is also used by the crew.

What is built here is the interior of the Governor's Palace.

After some people filmed here for a while, they moved from Studio [-] to Studio [-] to shoot scenes where the pirates had not yet breached the Governor's Palace, such as Orlando and Keira.

Lu Heng, on the other hand, was filming other scenes with the pirates.

There are less scenes here, so it ends early, and there are no tasks for him in the next few days.

So Lu Heng returned to the country.

One is to deal with the company's affairs. After all, there is no future video conferencing capability, let alone transoceanic. Some things on the phone can only be reported briefly.

Except for Huo Siyan, who often travels between the two places as a humanoid transmitter.

The company's affairs, as well as Li Xiaoran, Zhang Yan, and Cheng Hao, all have to deal with it, check for leaks, fill in the loopholes, strive for excellence, etc.

Lu Heng looks for happiness in busyness and tastes happiness in saltiness.

Life is good, Lu Heng can match it as he pleases~
Of course, apart from this, another thing is that in addition to Wang Yu continuing to expand in the Shanghai market, he has also begun to spread his business in the Beijing, Guangdong and Shenzhen markets.

Although the real estate market has not yet reached a stage of vigorous development, it is equivalent to laying a foundation now. Now that the foundation is firmly laid and the reputation is established, it is very useful for the explosive sprint in a few years.

This is the path for the top twenty real estate groups in the future, so Lu Heng also used analysis to discuss this matter when he met with Wang Yu and held a meeting with the group company executives.

The tone set then is now in motion.

Lu Heng's brother-in-law Zhao Zheng was responsible for developing the Guangdong market project.

In fact, if we really count assets, Lu Heng is now at the top level in real estate, the Internet, and even film and television, music, etc. If we add up the capital of Lu Heng in these industries, even if he is not the richest man in the mainland... he is probably not far behind. How many.

Of course, the company doesn't have much money on its books. It comes back as quickly as it goes out, and there are even loans from banks.

But Lu Heng is not worried, because he has 20 years of experience ahead, and the projects he handles are all benign, that is, the relationship of time——

The money on the books will start to accumulate to a certain extent, and then more and more.Even if he continues to invest in the future, it will still not decrease, but will still grow upward, because those previous investments have begun to bring back a steady stream of money, and it is still a very huge amount of money.

Then Lu Heng went to Shenzhen City again, met with his brother-in-law and Ma Huateng, and then went to meet Xing Ming from Tianya.com, and he had a good idea of ​​the current development.

The Internet is very random. Because of Lu Heng's few dials, it was different from the previous life, let alone the development to the present, two years have passed.

Therefore, Lu Heng needs to take a look at it from time to time to avoid taking detours. Once he takes a detour, it is impossible for Lu Heng to say what the future will be like. He needs to find a suitable reason to talk to Ma Huateng or Xing Ming to make this detour. Pull it back.

After doing this, Lu Heng took a plane directly from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles.

And the time has passed five or six days.

Next, the crew is preparing to go on location, first going to Port San Pedro in Los Angeles, and then to the Caribbean.

Lu Heng had a general understanding. Some of the "Interceptor" scenes were filmed in the Port of San Pedro. Matt O'Connor, the crew's navigation consultant, rented a huge old-fashioned sailing ship "The Lady Washington" through various connections. to serve as the "Interceptor" in the filming.

As for the "Black Pearl", it has already arrived in the Caribbean and has been renovated.

Another thing is that the crew officially changed the name of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". According to them, it is to leave room for a sequel.

Although Lu Heng had mentioned to them before that if there was a sequel, he would have priority investment rights, and the ratio would not be less than the current ratio, but at that time it was just a proposal, and it was not until now that Disney and Jerry reached an agreement.

This is also normal. Most Hollywood first-line commercial productions will do this. Regardless of whether the film will be successful in the future, leave room for the sequel. Once it succeeds, the sequel will be sorted out.

It's not that they expected it to be popular, but they just occupied the bowl before eating.

Sequels of blockbuster movies are a hot commodity for film companies and even distribution companies, and they also mean smaller risks and more profits. But everything is difficult at the beginning. There are very few blockbuster movies. In Hollywood, sequels can be made. In fact, there are not many movies about it, especially in this era.

Of course, Star Wars must be at the top of the list, and countless people’s eyes are red with envy.

As for shooting in the Caribbean, Lu Heng is still full of expectations, such as the beautiful scenery of the Caribbean and so on.

Before leaving, Lu Heng learned good news from Jiang Zhiqiang, Disney and Jerry respectively.

Under the joint operation of Disney and Jiang Zhiqiang, "Red Cliff" actually received several Oscar nominations!

It was only now that Lu Heng knew that Jiang Zhiqiang was one of the Oscar judges.

Not only him, but Ang Lee is also one of the judges.

However, Lu Heng never thought about winning an award. In this place, it is impossible to award a movie like his without crooked ass, so even if Lu Heng and Ang Lee had conflicts, he was not worried, because with or without Ang Lee, "Red Cliff" didn't even win an award, so it doesn't matter.

Of course, it is an honor for Jiang Zhiqiang and Ang Lee to serve as Oscar judges, and of course it is not particularly difficult - because they have many judges, and unlike film awards such as Cannes and Berlin, the judges are like roundtables. And the Oscar judges... there are thousands of them.

The more something is, the less valuable it becomes, and so is identity.

The Oscar judges are divided very carefully, and there are relevant judges for each link, from executives, producers, directors, etc., to photography, documentaries, and it is an invitation system, inviting judges from all over the world, and absorbing some every year, so Over a long period of time, the total number of judges has also been an astonishing number.

Of course, there are few judges such as executives and producers, and the most are directors and actors.

Naturally, Jiang Zhiqiang's gold content is much stronger than Li An.

Ang Lee once said that his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an Oscar thanks to Jiang Zhiqiang, and Lu Heng finally understood what was going on.

However, the main category of Lu Heng's "Red Cliff" is still a commercial film. Although there is some humanistic sentiment in it, it is not much and it is different from Ang Lee's metaphor, so I don't have high expectations.

More benefits come from the resurgence of the box office after the nomination.

This was the case with "Heroes" at the beginning. It almost disappeared, and then it was nominated for an Oscar and then it started to rise again.

In the sea in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there are not many scenes to be filmed, so after more than a week, I will leave for the Caribbean.

There, is the real big scene.

On May 3th, they boarded a plane in Los Angeles to Alpurco in the Caribbean. This was arranged by the crew. After all, there are so many people, and they can finish it all at once.

Although the category of this movie is here, Jerry and the others did not take it lightly and specially invited historian Peter Twist as a consultant.

Just like asking Boel to teach fencing, Peter also had this reason. In addition to providing suggestions and references on clothing, decoration, folk customs, military, etc., he also gave lectures to Lu Heng and others.

According to Peter's narration, Pirates of the Caribbean is real, including Port Royal.

Many people's understanding of the Americas is probably South and North America. As for the countries, they are only familiar with the three major countries in North America, Canada, the United States, and Mexico, while South America is the big countries of Brazil and Argentina.

Among the small countries, Panama should be the most famous, because there is a Panama Canal, which is the dividing line between North and South America.

Panama belongs to North America. Apart from Panama, there are actually not just three countries in North America, but dozens of small countries. However, under the brilliance of the three big guys such as Magnesium, they are basically unnoticed, except for the only Cuba. .

And these countries, including Mexico, are all surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.

Lu Heng and the others first flew to the port in Mexico, and then took a boat to the small island of Palominito.

He felt fine, but many people started to get seasick.

"vomit!!!"

Seeing Keira rushing out of the cabin, holding on to the fence and vomiting into the sea, Orlando, who was extremely bored, shrugged to Lu Heng: "This is the third time."

　thanks for your support.
