atypical hollywood life

"A lot, I have to say, my understanding of the process of Hollywood film production is still too superficial.

Rebecca told Margaret about her experience and work in the crew, "Actually, although my work is over, the work of the producer is not over. The producers are still busy. You know, Neil doesn't have the final editing rights."

Rebecca told the news. In fact, Margaret was not surprised. Even the director who has the final editing rights 20 years later does not have more than ten fingers in Hollywood, except of course the independent film circle.

A big commercial production can’t be the director’s words, and the editing is not his only thought. If those high-level executives feel that the director’s editing doesn’t meet their expectations and can’t be sold well, they won’t care about your film. Artistic, only rough recuts, and the director can't even say no, because the contract makes it clear from the beginning that you don't have the final power.

There are many typical examples, and Orson Welles' "The Ambersons" was the earliest.

In order to cater to the audience, the film was edited into the grand finale of the family carnival. In order to prevent Wells from protesting the film, RKO even sent him to the United States, just to allow the editor to make up some clips and remake the film. Cut it into a movie that can be more popular with the public.

Orson Welles himself said that this film completely deviated from his original intention when he directed it, and the most tragic thing is that the editor did not have Welles' talent, and the cut film was fragmented. Great movies only to find out that the master tape has been destroyed, the director has died, and the movie will never be complete.

Come to think of it, that's Orson Welles who made Citizen Kane!

Not to mention the later ones, there are many movies that have been cut and disabled, and the most famous one is probably Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven".

Before the director's cut version came out, Ridley Scott was even known as the director with the most ups and downs in filming. Where did the film's talented Oscar-winning director go?

It wasn't until the director's cut version came out that people who had watched both the release version and the director's cut version shouted that this was not a movie at all, which proved him. Ridley Scott's bitter mood is evident from this.

Of course, it's not a film that doesn't have its director's wayward and money-losing films.

"The Sixth Sense of Life and Death" is one of the best. As a movie without special effects but invested 9000 million, even Anthony Hopkins' superb acting skills and Brad Pitt's bursting hormones could not save it. .

Director Martin Brest directed "Scent of a Woman" and successfully put Al Pacino on the Oscar's podium for Best Actor. Universal trusted him so much that the resulting film was stunned The audience who entered the venue were drowsy and inexplicable, which eventually led to the street.And he himself didn't have any good resources and works afterwards.

Having said so much, Neil actually has nothing to complain about. The industrialization of Hollywood is such a production process. If you don’t like this way, you either don’t sign it or go to the independent circle, but even in the independent circle, not every director can get it. The final editing rights, after all, movies need to make money, who wants to lose money.

"So where are you going? And where did your clothes come from?"

Rebecca asked suspiciously. She was shocked by the gray hooded T-shirt and sweatpants and the big mask in Margaret's hand. When did Meg actually have such clothes?And is there really no problem with this kind of dress? It looks like you are going to do something bad.

"I made an appointment with Tom to sneak to the house of Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson to ring the doorbell! Tom brought the clothes for me, how is it? Don't you know who I am at all?"

Margaret turned around to show off her new clothes, and said happily.

Ever since she heard Tom say that he and Sean Penn had planned to ring the doorbell of Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson's house but failed because they dared not, she was eager to try, and finally succeeded in persuading Tom and her Go and ring their doorbell together.

Here's what she told Tom Cruise, "We'll go in the evening, they won't be able to see who it is when it's dark, and besides, I'm a little girl, it doesn't matter if I get caught, and then we can Take a photo with the house before you ring the bell, make a nice memory. Listen Tom, never leave any regrets about your youth, you're the man who played Fourth of July, and it's no big deal. "

And Tom Cruise was actually persuaded by her. He and Sean Penn have always wanted to ring the doorbell of these two big men's houses since they were teenagers, but unfortunately they have never had the guts to do it. Meg is right. If he doesn't do it, he will be old, and he must complete this great cause when he is young.Besides, Dustin Hoffman had encouraged him to knock on the door, and it wasn't a big deal.He can even deliver him a bottle of red wine after knocking on the door, and then come in for a dinner.

"When did you get along so well?"

So what happened?Rebecca was really surprised this time, she just went to work for a few months, how did things develop like this?Aren't these two people always at odds?A person who dislikes the other party's low emotional intelligence, and a person who dislikes the other party's relationship, how come they suddenly become good friends who can play pranks together?This is too spooky!

"Uh," Margaret tilted her head, "probably because our personalities are very compatible?"

"what?"

Rebecca just wanted to start a joke, how do you two get along?Is it the nature of the bear?Heart is simply too tired.

Although the words are a bit harsh and the scope of attack is a bit wide, Rebecca's views on these two people are still quite marketable.

Looking at Tom Cruise's life and career, you can see that this is a child who has not grown up. He is not only childish, willful, second-year, naive, but also nosy.

Not to mention anything else, just say that when he took over the filming of "Top Gun", he actually refused to negotiate a contract with Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson because he thought they were too scary. In the end, it was Michael Ove Zizi personally worked out the million-dollar contract for him.

Later, she made a fuss about Brooke Shields taking antidepressants for her postpartum depression, which made Brooke Shields furious and publicly attacked him for "having never given birth to a child and is not qualified to say such a thing." During the dark low tide period, the big pharmaceutical factory suffered from the downfall. I don't know how evil people think this person is after hearing those rumors and rumors.

All in all, due to the special love for him by the American people and the media, this guy has an accident physique, coupled with the nature of a bear, he is the kind that is difficult to deal with.Just like when he filmed "Mission: Impossible", he likes to shoot the limit on his real body, so that Wu Yusen carries a knife with him, and he is always ready to commit suicide in case of an accident. People are impressed by his bear essence.

Of course, some things haven't happened yet, Rebecca can only complain about what's in front of her, but you're over 30, and you still ring the fart bell!

That's what kids do. You said it was an unfinished prank with Sean Penn before. How enthusiastic are you about this kind of thing!

As for Margaret, this guy is a bear n generation spoiled by his family no matter in his previous life or in this life. In his previous life it was because of his broken body like black heart cotton, and in this life it is because of those two irresponsible parents.

But no matter what her identity is, she has never suffered anything except physical ailments!And the family has always been responsive to her needs.Even if such a person can only cultivate himself because of physical reasons, he is still a self-willed person.Not showing her bear essence is not because she doesn't want to but because she can't.

But this time when I came out to shoot a movie, only the nanny Nancy and aunt Rebecca were by my side. Rebecca was busy with work, leaving early and returning late, so she had no time or energy to take care of her, and Nancy couldn't take care of her. , at this moment, Margaret's bear essence, which had been buried for two lifetimes, began to move around. When she met Tom Cruise, the great confidant in her life, the prehistoric power in her body finally broke out. A period of free time, so we met in Los Angeles to make heaven and earth.

Margaret blinked: "Don't say that, actually we have been together for a long time, I think Tom is a cute person, you don't know, he also said that when I grow up, he will teach me to fly a plane. Is it a fighter jet? Helicopters. And he said when I got back to New York he would take me to Washington for shooting practice when he was free."

She loved all kinds of rampage when she was still a war scum in her battered shell, and she used to play polo when things weren't so bad.

This fondness for violent sports is deeply rooted in her soul, and even her fragile body can't stop her hobby. Relying on her family relationship, she goes to the military camp to have sex from time to time, and now she finally has the opportunity to be free. The unrestrained explosion is almost too exciting, okay!

"Seriously"

Rebecca screamed. At this moment, she felt ten thousand thunderbolts hitting her head with a bang. By the way, Thor, the God of Thunder, smashed into it with a hammer.

Compared with the scene of Margaret playing a shooting game with a gun, her mind is more of the picture of Alexander holding up the AK47 and shooting Tom Cruise!

Omg, Meg is only 11 years old and going to commit such a violent act, she thinks Alexander will probably kill Tom Cruise before he bludgeons her off, to reward her for "care of little Meg! "

"Of course it's serious. Tom has a fighter pilot's license and has a good relationship with the Pentagon. These are just small things for him."
