[US Entertainment] Best Director

After selecting the ending song as "Dyinginthesun", Prairis successively selected several songs from the submissions as the film's interlude.

When it came to mixing, there was a bit of an altercation between Prairieth and Clooney.

Clooney proposed 7.1 surround sound, and Prairius suggested Dolby Atmos.

Of course, at this time, Dolby Atmos has not yet entered the stage of movies. Dolby Atmos is a patent invented by the British Dolby in 2012. No matter how Laris explained it, Clooney didn't understand what "Dolby Atmos" was.

"So, this not only requires the theater to bring in several times the sound, but also requires us to mix 128 independent sound sources at the same time?" Clooney asked, frowning.

"It is not required to mix 128 independent sound sources in the same frame. After all, we did not collect so many in the early recording. It just provides you with the possibility to mix more sound sources in one frame at the same time."

"...What about theaters? Which theater can have 64 speakers? Do you know how expensive 64 speakers are?"

Of course Prairis knew.

Because in her previous life until the year she died, there were only more than 250 theaters around the world that had installed Dolby Atmos.

However, the return on this high investment is also very high. According to incomplete statistics, the attendance rate of theaters with "Dolby Atmos" is about 50.00% higher than that of theaters without it.

What does 50.00% mean?

It means box office, it means word-of-mouth, and it means the screening rate!

What's more, film is an art based on technology. As long as you look at the history of film, you will be surprised to find that almost all the famous directors in history are technology savvy!Without the director's attempt at new technology, how can there be progress in film!

Preris insisted on Dolby Atmos.

Clooney stood firm against Dolby Atmos.

In the end, the two handed over the decision to Spielberg.

Spielberg has never been so distressed.

As a director, when he heard Prairis say "64 speakers, 128 independent sound sources", his eyes lit up. Movies, audio-visual arts, and visual images have made countless progress over the years, but the "auditory" sense The progress has been stagnant at 5.1-channel surround sound and 7.1-channel surround sound. There is no progress at all. This is the failure of their filmmakers, and it is also the result of too much indifference by the entire film industry.

Judging from his many years of experience in the industry, if the "64 speakers, 128 independent sound sources" that Prairis said is really made, it will definitely set off a revolution in the industry!

But as the producer, and the representative of the producer.

Spielberg has to admit that Clooney has a point.

One is that it is impossible to install such a complete set of audio equipment in theaters, and the other is that the requirements for such a highly complex and delicate sound source make the post-mixing extremely complicated.

Think for a long time.

Spielberg made the final call.

Schedule a screening.

The order screening will be "64 speakers, 128 independent sound sources". If the attendance rate is high, the backstage will be arranged, while other theaters will still use the original 7.1-channel surround sound.

After Spielberg spoke his decision, Clooney frowned.

Do two versions of the reverb....

Very good, I have to work overtime again.

Prairis specially set aside a day to visit Ray Dolby, who came to Hollywood from England not long ago.

When Prairis offered to buy the technology, Ray Dolby raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"How do you know I have this technology? I never told anyone in Hollywood."

Pryris smiled and said, "I'm from the UK, and I was lucky enough to shoot a few episodes in the UK. The sound engineer of the crew was a techie. By chance, I heard about your name from the sound engineer. , and your technology."

Ray Dolby looked at Prairie for a while, and asked slowly, "Are you also British? Or a director? What have you directed?"

"Finger's Love and Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride, maybe you've heard of it?"

Ray Dolby looked at Prairis after hearing the words, and said slowly in a haughty tone.

"A few days ago, you were the hot new director? But I watched your "Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" and let the outside world brag about the sound effects in the sky, that's all."

Ray Dolby raised an eyebrow haughtily.

"Naturally it can't compare to the sound effect you developed." Prairis smiled modestly, "7.1-channel surround can be made like that at most, and that's why I'm looking for you today,"

Ray Dolby pondered for a long time.

"I need money."

"Now the prototype of the sound effect mold has just been completed, and I need money to complete it as soon as possible."

"How much?" Prairie asked.

"1 million," Ray Dolby said.

It was worth the price, but Prairius knew that DreamWorks would not approve the fee.

"Okay." Prairis looked at Ray Dolby.

Under Ray Dolby's surprised gaze, Prairis said.

"But in my own name."

"In ten days, [-] million will be transferred to your account. In contrast, I want [-]% of the equity."

Ray Dolby looked at Prairie oddly.

After a long time, I nodded.

"If you can come up with [-] million."

Prairie immediately booked a flight back to England.

Called Ms. Jory.

Ms. Jory spoke in disbelief when she learned that Prairie was thinking of selling the Hawkshead estate her mother had left her.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course." Prairie replied.

"This is the only legacy your mother left you, how can you squander it so carelessly," Ms. Jory frowned.

"It's not squandering, it's a necessary investment." Prairis looked clear. "If my mother was still alive, she would be very pleased to hear that I chose to invest in such a business."

Ms. Jory was dumbfounded.

She knew Prairice was right.

If that woman was still alive...she might really throw all her wealth into this bottomless black hole without hesitation.

Jory put down his phone and looked out the window.

Reminds me of the first time I saw that woman many years ago.

It seemed to be such a warm afternoon.

Drunk on a slightly drunk day.

She stood on the highest podium at Trinity College.

Talk about her favorite career.

His brows and eyes revealed uncontrollable pride and enthusiasm.

Even if Qiao Rui never understood the enthusiasm in her eyes, even a layman like Qiao Rui who has never been in a movie theater knows that this is a high-input and dangerous "treading on a tightrope" career.

But it didn't hinder the woman's enthusiasm.

It doesn't hinder the bright stars in the woman's eyes.

The sun was shining gently on the woman's broken hair.

Like a waterfall.

Heartbreaking.

The white dove landed on the windowsill.

Ms. Jory holds the phone to her ear.

Slightly scratchy.

"whatever."
