Chapter 687 Stable Team

Two days later, the students arrived at the set of "The Dark Knight", studied there for two days, and then returned to China.

Just as everyone was marveling at the workshop where "The Dark Knight" was being prepared, an acquaintance saw Guo Fan.

"Lao Guo? Lao Guo, is that you?"

"Lao Li? Are you joining the crew of The Dark Knight?" Guo Fan was very happy to see fellow Chinese students.

"Yes, we have been visiting here these days! How did you get here?" Old Li asked curiously.

There was a Chinese in the crew of "The Dark Knight", and his name was Guo Fan, who was quite famous. The students were very curious and surrounded him to ask questions.

Guo Fan smiled and said, "I'm here to study. I came here early and serve as an assistant director here."

Everyone immediately thought that Guo Fan seemed to be Little Gilbert's student, and one person asked, "Did Director Little Gilbert ask you to come?"

"Yes." Guo Fan did not hide it.

"Wow!" There was a chorus of envious voices all around.

Look, this is the difference.

We only had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and not only did we not see anything, but people also hid things from us. Look at Guo Fan, who directly followed his teacher to learn and participated in the production of Hollywood movies from beginning to end.

Ning Hao was just an errand boy in The Lord of the Rings before, but now he is so awesome. Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun only played orcs in The Lord of the Rings, but they can both become international superstars.

This Guo Fan is amazing, he actually works in a big Hollywood crew, and his master is Gilbert Jr., so his future is limitless!

While envious, some people can't help but feel jealous and fantasize about replacing Guo Fan.

It’s a pity that this group of students didn’t even get to see little Gilbert a few times, and didn’t even have a chance to talk to him.

Young Gilbert did not pay much attention to the students sent here. It was impossible to expect them to learn the production model of Hollywood movies in just one week.

And they can't learn it. When Guo Fan was chatting privately with Gilbert Jr., he said that it would take Chinese-language films ten years to reach the current level of Hollywood.

This is not a gap in the level of creators, but a gap in the overall quality of the personnel.

For example, if Gilbert Jr. was a Chinese-language film director and was still as awesome as he is now, he would definitely not be able to make "The Dark Knight".

The reason is simple. A big-budget Hollywood movie is never something that can be accomplished by just one director or a few core staff members. There are too many things involved.

Without a reliable and stable team, even someone as strong as Gilbert Jr., or even Spielberg, James Cameron and George Lucas, would not be able to produce movies stably.

Not to mention, Gilbert Jr. makes movies almost once a year.

Movies that are made within a few months or even weeks and then released are usually only found in the independent film circle, and the San Fernando Valley is also a good place.

However, it is common for independent films to take several years or even more than ten years to attract investment.

Because Hollywood has ample talent, coupled with a stable team style and structure, Gilbert Jr. can continue to produce new films with a mature team.

Guo Fan wrote a sentence in his notebook: Industrial process is the core, technology is the guide, but talent is the foundation.

His understanding was profound, so he came to that conclusion. It was an ideal analysis based on reality, not out of despair.

Being able to see the gap actually brings hope, at least that's what Guo Fan thinks. This group of Chinese students went back very quickly. In this week, apart from feeling the shock of Hollywood film production and talking about how awesome it is, they didn't learn anything else.

After all, what can you learn if you swallow it whole?
However, the news that Guo Fan was studying with his teacher, Gilbert Jr., had spread. Nowadays, behind-the-scenes professions such as directors are not very popular.

If a star had been cast in The Dark Knight, the news would have been all over the place. But the director's role was not so popular, and was eventually reported by the industry.

At this time, Guo Fan's partner Liu Ji, who stayed in China, instantly became a hot commodity. He found that many agents began to bring all kinds of beautiful girls around him, but he still kept his bottom line.

Liu Ji understood that all these results were caused by Guo Fan.

If it weren't for him, these usually high-handed agents and celebrity artists wouldn't even look at him straight in the eye.

When Guo Fan comes back, their company will become a new force in the entertainment industry. And Liu Ji will be the next Zhang Weiping, no, he will be even more awesome than Zhang Weiping.

Isn't Zhang Weiping the national master? Guo Fan will be even more powerful than national master Zhang in the future.

After a long preparation period, The Dark Knight finally started filming in Chicago in mid-October. This time, the Chicago City Government still gave enough support and even provided the location for free.

The city government also promised that there would never be a vicious incident like the last Chicago robbery. The Chicago police were even busier. In addition to their usual work hours, they also had to temporarily guest-star and continue to play the police in Gotham City.

Gilbert Jr. prioritized and focused on filming the Joker's scenes. Heath Ledger was in excellent condition, and Gilbert Jr. didn't want to waste such a good condition.

At the same time, he also wanted to finish Heath Ledger's role as soon as possible so that Heath Ledger could finish filming first, then go to rest and get away from the state of the Joker.

As mentioned before, Heath Ledger's death in his previous life actually had nothing to do with the character of the Joker. It was more due to an overdose of drugs.

If it had ended earlier, Heath Ledger could have received treatment earlier.

However, the first scene the crew filmed was not Heath Ledger's, but Nicolas Cage and Jennifer Connelly's.

This scene was filmed in a court in Chicago and is a trial scene. It introduces the character of Harvey Dent and also shows his personality.

Jennifer Connelly is just a vase, wearing a hip skirt and black stockings to sell her beauty. The focus of this scene is all on Nicolas Cage, and he did not disappoint everyone.

Perhaps it was because he had made sufficient preparations in the early stages, or perhaps it was because he had not lost his strength as a former Oscar winner, but Nicolas Cage was in a rare good shape when he first appeared on the stage.

However, there was a small accident during the filming. When Nicolas Cage grabbed the gun and tried to unload it, it got stuck twice and failed.

But Gilbert Jr. did not call a stop, because he was well aware of Nicolas Cage's dual nature as a god and a ghost. It was rare for him to be in such a good state, so of course he couldn't waste it.

After this line passed, Nicolas Cage took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't use it skillfully."

Little Gilbert didn't care: "It doesn't matter, we continue shooting."

The filming went smoothly again. Nicolas Cage had acted in action movies before and was very experienced. He knocked down the suspect with one punch, snatched the gun, and unloaded it smoothly.

"Made of carbon fiber, .28 caliber, German."

Nicolas Cage faces the camera: "Mr. Manilow, if you want to get rid of a public official, I suggest using American goods."

Here, Little Gilbert has changed from a Chinese product to a German one, and the German manufacturing was criticized. Little Gilbert doesn't have a German-made filter, so it should be criticized.
