[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

She has been able to make it this far, and she considers herself very lucky.Claire was sitting on a chair, showing his storyboard to Takeshi Kitano next to him.It happened to be the scene where Suzi jumped on a tall building.

There is a line of words written below, which is the slogan "Sheis fearless and wild." Clare gave.

He nodded: "The artist is good." A clear and intuitive storyboard is an important distinguishing indicator for directors.Without a good storyboard, it means that there is no clear thinking, which often results in half the effort.

"Look at this corner's cutting effect, isn't it better?" She raised her head and asked him.

Artificial dynamic means that the dynamic formation of the picture is artificially created.The subject itself is static and does not have the dynamics of changing orientation.

For example, a girl is sitting there playing the piano, two people are standing by the sea and talking, etc.These situations often appear in every film and television drama, and they are the core of the drama.Moreover, it takes a period of detailed expression to allow the audience to enter the plot and penetrate into the hearts of the characters.However, long static shots will make people feel visually boring, which is different from the large-area static oil painting shots used in "Frida".As a movie full of fighting scenes, repeating the same old tricks on a large scale will make the movie lose the original intention of dynamic art, and at the same time, it will also cause dislike to the audience, such as "the rhythm of this movie is really nondescript. "

So, being a director is not easy. You have to be both a storyteller and a story listener.

She turned the page, showed the final effect to Takeshi Kitano and said, "Look, the effect looks like this."

Partial switching, through front and back shots to create a dynamic picture.The themes expressed in this way always appear positively in the picture, and this kind of picture is Claire's visual command to the audience through mirror language.This kind of picture shape is full of dynamics. While appreciating the plot, the audience also meets the needs of visual physiology and visual psychology.

In the middle of the red heart, it is incomparable. Even Takeshi Kitano did not expect that the visual effect presented in such a different way is so good.

But he didn't express his inner surprise, silently lit a cigarette, and nodded to her: "It's good."

Then he walked away in a trance, how could he use someone to guide him?Your 20s are not the same world as my 20s.

It's a bit perverted.

Leaving Claire sitting here wondering why he left so suddenly?

"The color of faith in Ghost in the Shell is so heavy." She stroked her chin.This is also a difficult point to deal with.Mamoru Oshii's film series is the best cyberpunk animated film in the world.The plot is filled with profound philosophical discussions of a speculative nature.

Can she really do it?She clenched her fist. If [-] points is a perfect copy of the real version, then what step can she do and how many points can she get?

Oshii Mamoru said after filming "Innocence": "This work of mine is unsurpassed in any aspect."

Is it really insurmountable?

"No, this should add more religious mystery." She pinched her chin: "It's best for everyone to find their own way of interpretation." In this way, it might be able to catch up.

Special effects artist Axel is testing the frame rate of these scenes.In order to complete the project, they had to recreate the CG version of the skeleton, including the muscles on Suzi's body and the gel covering on the body, as well as a naked version of Suzi with the data transmission tube inserted in the body.

Claire stands behind him, arms folded, watching the progress.

This is just a technology recently developed by Industrial Light and Magic, which has been applied to movies.This is its first test of the market, and no one knows whether the audience likes this effect or not.

Claire took a fancy to the power of this technology at a glance.After seeing this technology at the industrial light and magic headquarters, she immediately convinced Brad to use it in Suzi's image creation.It was a big gamble.This made Paramount have to invest more, because this more realistic technology requires an increase of 1000 million US dollars.Calculated, special effects now account for 40.00% of the investment.

Nowadays, special effects have not attracted the attention of investors.

The cost of special effects accounts for only about 20.00% to [-]% on average.

If it weren't for the fire of "The Matrix" the year before, Paramount would not have invested in blockbuster special effects so readily.

The Wachowski brothers (seem to be brother and sister now) who directed "The Matrix" are avid fans of "Ghost in the Shell" and Japanese manga.

The idea of ​​The Matrix was inspired by Ghost in the Shell.

At the time, the Wachowskis (brother and sister) played footage from Ghost in the Shell directly to producer Joel Silver.Then tell him, we want to shoot it, with real people.

Of course, there are many, many shots in "The Matrix" that imitate (plagiarize) "Ghost in the Shell".

Paramount's current approach has the meaning of fighting Warner.

"Sooner or later, the robot will get a ghost. In the theatrical version of the movie, it is more direct. It is a set of programs that roam the online world without entities. This is directly used by The Matrix. The Matrix also directly used other people's titles!"

The Matrix is ​​currently in the period of publishing the third part, and Paramount intends to take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm and then step on them.

Warner immediately responded: "This is a tribute!"

Paramount's public relations department issued a press release: "Ghost in the Shell, which was deeply plagiarized by The Matrix, will make a live-action version. Don't you know whether Warner pays tribute or copy it?"

Warner insiders stopped talking about the issue, and they thought it was a tribute.Besides, no matter what, Paramount's press release at this time is touching porcelain.

Warner turned to casting: "Look at the director you found, what can she make?" (Claire:?)

Brad was silent: "Just wait and see..." Then he looked back at Claire, his eyes full of encouragement. (Claire:?)

She counted, as the director, "Ghost in the Shell" paid her $1000 million.For many new directors, under normal circumstances, people think that the director's salary is linked to the global box office of the film.However, the average salary of directors of Hollywood comic films is between US$150 million and US$300 million.

The huge pay gap among Hollywood directors is no secret.

The highest $2000 million for Christopher Nolan and Peter Jackson plus 20.00% of the global box office dividend.

The lowest basic salary stipulated by the DGA (Directors Guild): $18000 a week for feature films, and the most common one is about $18 for ten weeks.This is the lowest minimum protection wage.

Of course, Claire no longer has to think about DGA's protection anymore, and her savings are already enough for her little wish of being able to eat all kinds of bread.Renting an apartment costs $1k a month, although it is a bit expensive, but it is also a great value for money.But it didn't happen overnight.

What do you do as a young man looking to make it in Hollywood?First of all, don't expect the studio to offer you a high salary ($100 million for Angelina Jolie's Unbroken, for your reference).Then try to be a dark horse, just like Claire, the first film as a graduation work didn't pay a penny, but it won the Sundance jury award, and the second film "Ferry" won $200 million in friendship. "Da" entered the Oscars and won the Best Actress Award. As a biographical film, it was a box office hit at the same time.So the third part can bargain with the producer.Phillips not only persuaded Paramount to let Claire take the position of director, although she is the most eye-catching newcomer this year, for such a huge commercial production, no one can guarantee that a commercial newcomer will "try his fist" Consequences, but Phillips negotiated it.Not only that, he also signed a salary of 1000 million US dollars. Although there is no box office dividend, it is already a qualitative leap for her.This means that she has joined the ten-million-level club of Hollywood directors.

The reason, as many people agree, is that Hollywood has short-term memory. Studios don’t care about your previous achievements. If your last three movies don’t sell well, don’t expect to get the numbers you want.Just like the best director of "Forrest Gump", Zameckis, the new film "Allied Spies" suffered a tragic blow, and suddenly lost a lot of negotiating chips.The chances of him getting $1000 million for the next movie are slim. "At the general meeting of shareholders, they don't care about David Fincher and Martin Scorsese coming to make movies. What they see is huge economic losses, which will never be tolerated." "Frida" gave It gave Phillips confidence and gave Paramount confidence.

At the same time, due to the 100% commission from CAA, Phillips can earn [-] million US dollars before tax for this order.

"When will you get a box office dividend?" In the later stage, the box office dividend is the most profitable one.He looked at himself in the mirror, combed his hair, and imagined the scene of Li Gunli: "Emily wants to go to China recently, but I guess I have to start busy again at that time." The daughter born to his ex-wife is already five years old.

"Then you should find someone to take care of Emily." Claire picked up the grapes on the table and stuffed them in her mouth.

Then Claire felt strange to see him blushing, his body tensed up: "Ah, no, no one."

"There's a ghost." She pinched her chin and thought, I'm talking about the nanny.
