Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 75 discusses the treasure cave and the reconstruction of the "Black Pearl"

"First of all," Brookheimer said, "let's get to know the director who just joined us, Qin Feng."

There were more than twenty people present, and some of them had already gotten the news and looked at Qin Feng.

Some people who had just learned the news looked surprised.

Qin Feng?Why does he look so familiar? Is he the Asian guy sitting there?
Hiss~~Director Qin Feng, isn't he the director of "The Matrix"?
Boy, that’s the hottest movie right now!
At a time when everyone is suspicious.

Qin Feng stood up and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Qin Feng. I am a film director from China."

Brookeheimer said: "Director Qin Feng's latest movie "The Matrix" is still in theaters. Everyone must know it!"

"Although he is young, he is very proficient in shooting special effects films. This time we launched the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project and specially invited Director Qin here."

Hearing this, everyone present was moved.

really!He is the director of "The Matrix"!
I didn’t expect that he is still a handsome guy at such a young age.

He is really amazing, no wonder Brookheimer recruited him.

"So," Brooke Heimer led the applause, "on behalf of Disney, let us welcome Director Qin!"

The crowd applauded.

Bruckheimer motioned for him to sit down.

"Director Qin, let me briefly introduce these people here."

"This is the film producer - Bruce."

"This is the assistant director - Steven."

"This is the art director - Brian."

"This is the styling director - Penny."

"This is the director of photography - Darez."

"This is the editing director - Craig."

"This is the visual effects supervisor - Noel."

"This is the sound director - Klaus."

"..."

There were more than twenty people in total, and Brookeheimer introduced them one by one. Qin Feng couldn't remember them for a while, so he just smiled.

"In short, now that everyone has arrived, the project has been officially established. All departments will follow Director Qin's instructions, arrange work, and implement it as soon as possible."

At this time, the deputy director - Stavin said: "Director Qin, I am Stavin. Let me explain it first."

"Well, please say it."

Steven said: "The location selection department has been out selecting locations since last week, and Brian and the others in the art department have already started drawing concept drawings."

"As for actors, we have already communicated with the four leading actors you suggested before, and there is no problem with their schedules. However, as usual, we need to try on the costumes here."

"Okay." Qin Feng said.

"We are screening other important supporting roles on the Screen Actors Guild website, and we have just confirmed one-third of them."

"OK, I didn't expect everyone to move very quickly, which is very good."

Qin Feng smiled and stood up again.

“In my previous job, I developed a habit of moving quickly.”

"Now that the location selection department has set off, how is the situation in the studio now?"

Steven: "There are currently three studios available. If there are not enough, we will rent them. Among them, Studio 2 is our largest studio at Disney."

Qin Feng nodded, "I'm sorry, the art director I just mentioned is..."

Brian raised his hand, "Director Qin, it's me, I'm Brian."

"Oh, Brian, how much is included in the concept design?"

"20% was taken out because the initial concept of the film came from the corresponding theme park, so we drew some according to the style of the park."

"Okay, my top priority is the concept drawing of the treasure cave and the design drawings of the two pirate ships." "These drawings are best from multiple perspectives and are conducive to workers' construction. Show them to me first after they are designed. , let’s finalize it first.”

"Okay, Director Qin."

Qin Feng then said to the deputy director - Stavin: "After the design draft is OK, we must start construction immediately. Call the workers tomorrow. We will use the No. 2 studio you just mentioned to build the treasure cave."

"clear."

He pondered for a moment and continued: "There will be two battleships in the movie, one is the pirate ship 'Black Pearl', and the other is the Eagle Navy's 'Dauntless'."

"This is also a difficult point. The movie shooting not only includes panoramic views, but also close-up shots. The cabin must be large enough to allow shooting from multiple angles, and there will also be shots of naval battles."

Everyone deeply agreed with what Qin Feng said.

Stavin said: "Yes, the best case scenario is to build two new prop ships, which will be the same as the real ones inside and out."

Director of Photography - Darez said: "But... building two new large ships is really a waste of time! It won't be completed in less than half a year."

"yes……"

"yes……"

Others were also discussing in low voices. The two large ships were a key point and could not be ignored.

Visual effects supervisor - Noel: "How about... if you use special effects for the long shots?"

Stavin shook his head: "There are also complicated crew battles, two ships entangled, and full-angle rotating cameras. The special effects are not easy to do, right?"

Noel thought for a while, and it was indeed like this. If it was just two ships firing at each other and not many characters appearing, it would be easier to do.

Everyone looked at Qin Feng again and let the director determine the plan.

Qin Feng closed his eyes slightly, and fragments of information flashed in his brain quickly!
brush!
After searching for information in his mind, he opened his eyes and said confidently:

"Remodeling! We reconstructed it from the old ship, it should not take more than a month!"

Everyone was stunned, reconstruction?

Where to find old boats?Is it a museum?

Just listen to him continue:
"Everyone, remember, for the Eagle Nation Navy's Fearless, you can go to the Long Island Pier to find a floating barge that looks like a battleship."

"As for the pirate ship 'Black Pearl', you need to go to the island country of St. Vincent, where there is a two-masted tour boat built in 1948."

"Construction period can be greatly saved by using these two ships for reconstruction."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked!

How did he know so clearly? !

Even Brooke Haimo was surprised: "Qin Feng, how do you know there is a suitable big ship there?"

Qin Feng smiled calmly and said casually: "I checked a lot of information about old ships on the Internet."

Steven quickly wrote it down, "OK, I've written it down and will send someone to contact you right away!"

Qin Feng nodded.

Everyone admires the director very much. He is quick in thinking and calm in situations. He is worthy of being a director who has directed super blockbusters.

"Next, there are a few more things."

Qin Feng continued, "I need a history consultant."

"Although this is a fantasy film, it involves a lot of 18th-century history. It cannot be fabricated out of thin air. It needs to be true and believable."

"Let me arrange this as a consultant. It's ok as long as everyone knows about it."

"In addition, in order to create a mysterious and slightly gothic atmosphere throughout the film, we have to use a lot of gray, brown and blue-black tones."

"These art, costume, scenery and other departments will record it."

"There are also theme song sound effects. I want the most majestic music."

"When you hear it, you will be excited and excited!"
