Entertainment: God-level director

Chapter 209

“Regarding film censorship, what I made clear in the interview is that every country has its own censorship system, and directors will not have complete freedom to film whatever they want.

But at the same time, too harsh and unstandardized censorship will indeed interfere with the director’s creation, so rather than completely liberalizing censorship, I hope that the relevant censorship standards can be more certain.

Finally, I would like to respond to why I went to the United States to shoot. This movie was inspired by some horror-themed novels and movies in the United States. The core of the story is completely Western. From the time I wrote the script, I was sure that it would be shot in the United States. Please don’t overdo it. Lenovo. Lin

Ran responded briefly on Weibo.

After posting on Weibo, Lin Ran called Wang Hao and asked him to contact several Chinese media to clarify.

Lin Ran still had some face. After Wang Hao contacted Several media outlets said they would help clarify, and one even filmed the whole process.

So, they directly requested the video, edited the video of Lin Ran’s interview separately and sent it back to China. After adding subtitles, Ranmeng The film industry immediately uploaded the video to the official Weibo.

Wang Ziwen then sent a message to her WeChat media group, asking these media to help forward it.

Every large company has its own media contact group for daily external communication When it comes to publishing news, Ranmeng Pictures is no exception.

Because Lin Ran has a good temper and rarely plays big names during interviews, and Wang Ziwen is a good person and will give gifts to these media during every year and festival, so the relationship between the two parties is very good. Okay, there won’t be anything like a coat of arms where it’s difficult for one party to get likes from all the parties.

So these media are very generous and help to forward the propaganda.

“I just said Brother Ran was wronged”

“As expected, it takes a while to watch the news.”

“Hahaha, if Lin Ran becomes a public knowledge, there will probably be few people in the entertainment industry who are not public knowledge.”

“Yes, Lin Ran is definitely the person with the most upright views in the entertainment industry.”

A fishing boat crisis went silent, and the BBC’s plan to stir up trouble was nipped in the bud.

Before you knew it, the day passed in the blink of an eye.

“This is a great shot. I’ve passed it. Let’s get ready and take the next one.”

Lin Ran looked at the picture on the monitor carefully and said to several actors.

As soon as he finished speaking, Daniel Lin walked up and reminded:”Director, according to the provisions of New York’s labor law for underage actors, , children aged 15-17 cannot be on site for more than 10 hours, and the actual working time cannot exceed 6 hours. We will be overtime soon.”

“All right.”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and then nodded helplessly. It seems that he won’t be able to shoot the next scene today. Even if this scene will be transferred after filming, if it is delayed for another day, it will cost a lot..

But again, the rules of the union must be implemented.

There is no way, the power of the union is too great.

After returning to the hotel after work, Lin Ran carefully studied the protection of child actors in the United States and found that it is really abnormal.

15 Infants from 1 day old to 5 months old cannot be present for more than 2 hours and working time cannot be more than 20 minutes.

Infants from 6 months to 1 year old can not be present for more than 4 hours and work time cannot be more than 2 hours. From

2 years old to 5 years old, the attendance time cannot exceed 6 hours, and the working time cannot exceed 3 hours.

6 years old to 8 years old, the attendance time cannot exceed 8 hours, and the working time cannot exceed 4 hours.

9 years old to 15 years old, the attendance time cannot exceed 9 hours, The working time cannot exceed 5 hours.

For those aged 15 to 17, the attendance time cannot exceed 10 hours and the working time cannot exceed 6 hours.

Among them, the attendance time includes meal time, rest time and introduction and training time.

In other words, as long as the actor Once on the set, no matter what he is doing, he must stop working when the corresponding arrival time is specified.

Most of the starring actors in”The Return of the Clown” are not 18 years old. For example, Jaden Martell is 14 this year. Years old, Finn Wolfhard is 15 years old, and Jack Dylan Grazer is also 15 years old.

Their working hours cannot exceed 6 hours.

Moreover, this is one of the regulations, because the Child Actor Protection Act still has It is stipulated that child actors aged 14-17 can only miss school to work if the school allows it.

But they cannot miss school for more than two days in a row!

On average, they have to make up 3 hours of class for every day they miss school, and the make-up time can be adjusted freely. However, you must make up at least 1 hour of lessons every day, and the maximum cannot exceed 5 hours.

For this regulation, the trade union will specially arrange personnel to come and supervise to ensure smooth implementation.

In order to make money, parents like those in China completely ignore the study and health of child actors. It is basically impossible in Hollywood.

Lin Ran emotionally agreed with this kind of protection.

However, when it was actually implemented on him, he still felt a little helpless.

Because strictly enforcing these regulations means that There is a lot of time every day that cannot be filmed, which means high filming costs.

No wonder many Hollywood directors say that movies are a regrettable art. In addition to the fact that movies cannot be absolutely perfect and will always have various shortcomings, It probably has something to do with the tight construction schedule during the filming.

“Fortunately, I have acting training skills, which can improve the acting skills of these actors. The filming went much more smoothly, and a large number of NGs did not delay the project schedule. Lin

Ran thought with some luck in his heart.

In the following days, Lin Ran kept filming behind closed doors. As he cooperated better and better with the actors and crew, the filming became much smoother, and he could basically complete every day on time. shooting plan.

That night, just after finishing work, Lin Ran received a strange phone call.

“Mr. Lin, I am Ronald Meier, COO of Universal Pictures.”

After the call was connected, the other party reported his home address.

“The COO of Universal Pictures? Lin

Ran was stunned for a moment and asked:”Mr. Meyer, do you have anything to do with me?””

“Haha, I saw the news a few days ago that you were filming in Hollywood. I have admired you for a long time and hope to become friends with you. I happen to have a party in Beverly Hills tonight and invite you to attend.”

Ronald Meier invited with a hearty smile.

“Mr. Meyer, thank you for the invitation and I will be there on time.”

Lin Ran agreed without much thought.

The COO of Universal Pictures is also a big shot in Hollywood. The people attending the party organized by her must be well-known in the industry. By then, she can make some connections. It will definitely be good for him in the future.
