Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 531 The Awakening of the Film Producer

In this way, Charlotte easily received the support of the entire IMAX board of directors and took over this company, which is not particularly large, but will have a profound impact on the world's film market in the future.

It has also been confirmed that "Sherlock Holmes" will be shot using IMAX technology.

The most important thing here is the application of IMAX cameras.

This kind of expensive large-scale camera is different from ordinary cameras in how to use it.

——Not to mention anything else, in terms of size and weight alone, an IMAX camera is much larger than an ordinary camera.

——The weak photographer can’t even carry this thing.

The use of this thing naturally requires special guidance from IMAX's technical staff.

What's more, as someone who uses a lot of magic special effects during filming, Charlotte also had to consider how to attach magic to the IMAX camera so that the magic special effects would continue to take effect.

This also requires advance preparation.

Moreover, according to Charlotte's plan, high-speed cameras will also be used during the filming of "Sherlock Holmes".

After all, the fighting skills of the protagonist Holmes were heavily deduced in advance.

If you want to shoot this part of the content expressively, you must have corresponding action coordination. If you shoot in slow motion, you can't shoot the kind of fist hitting the cheek, and the whole face is distorted by the fist. Instant effect.

This is where high-speed cameras are needed.

Fortunately, IMAX Company has also done some research on high-speed cameras, so meeting Charlotte's requirements will not be a problem.

It can be said that the preparation for the filming of "Sherlock Holmes" is the greatest application of new technologies since Charlotte has been filming a movie.

Therefore, he had to be a lot more careful in his preparations.

On the other side, after separating the ghost clone of the red-clothed ghost, Charlize was relieved of her worries.

Instead of going on vacation or preparing to take on the next movie as before, she started following the post-production of "The Devil Wears Prada" with director Patty Jenkins.

"Now I completely understand why the director's career is considered highly productive if he can only make one movie every one or two years on average!"

One night, Charlize came home looking exhausted. She lazily slumped on the sofa and complained to Charlotte,

"In the process of making a movie, directors and producers really have to pay attention to many more things than actors."

"You're just not used to the job of a producer."

As someone who has experienced this, Charlotte comforted her girlfriend and said,

"Once you get used to it, the job of a producer is relatively easy - this job can be said to be in charge of everything, but it can also be said to be in charge of nothing. The most important thing is to take care of money and people, and leave the rest to the director. That's great. Some great producers, like Jerry Bruckheimer, can supervise several movies at the same time."

“It’s easy to say, but hard to do!”

Charlize looked a little sad,

"Anyway, supervising and producing one movie called "The Devil" is enough for me. In comparison, I think it's easier for an actor to star in seven or eight movies a year."

"That's not an easy thing, right?"

Charlotte retorted,

"I think if you star in seven or eight movies a year, if you don't count the supporting roles, you can be considered a model worker among actors!"

"Really? Then I'll show you my achievements as a "model worker" one day!"

Charlize said confidently.

But Charlotte shook her head,

"Sally, with your current celebrity status, unless you commit suicide like Robert Downey Jr., it is no longer possible to achieve that achievement."

"...You are right."

Charlize thought for a while and finally nodded.

For Hollywood actors, their salary, treatment and behavioral standards are all very different depending on their position.

Things like receiving seven or eight movies a year,

It is more suitable for those second- and third-tier stars who are on the rise and are trying to hit the first-tier.

——At this stage, the actor's personality has not yet been condensed, and they need more exposure. It will not hurt them to take more movies.

Moreover, for actors at this stage, successful works are more important than failed works.

After all, as long as they are not like Kevin Costner, who failed in a super-large production like "Waterworld" and made a mess, even if ordinary movies fail, they, the second and third tier movies, still have a chance to make a comeback.

At most, there will be only a few film appointments in the short term.

But on the other hand, as long as one or two of these seven or eight movies are successful, they will probably be able to take the opportunity to jump to the top.

——In comparison, A-list stars have to be much more cautious when taking over filming movies.

Because when they reach their status, success is necessary and failure becomes unforgivable.

Generally speaking, a Hollywood A-list star will completely fall out of the A-list as long as he fails in two to three movies in a row.

——This is not a simple status, it also involves real money and various endorsement fees and other income, so celebrities cannot be cautious.

Therefore, A-list celebrities will be cautious when accepting films, and at the same time, they will also deliberately control their annual exposure.

You know, there is such a thing as aesthetic fatigue in this world——

Whether it is a handsome and masculine guy or a stunning beauty, if they appear frequently on the big screen in a few years, the audience will soon get bored.

——As an actor, he has dominated the summer season for many years in a row. Just think about it when you dream. If it’s true...

Of course, it is not completely impossible to dominate a certain period for many years.

However, a prerequisite needs to be added.

——That’s a full-time comedian.

To a certain extent, comedians or comedians are a special type that is not very affected by aesthetic fatigue.

——And they don’t really need beauty.

Because they can bring laughter to the audience, the audience often has a high favorability towards such actors.

——The Stars and Ge from the East, Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller from the West are all of this type.

As long as the movie's story isn't too trashy and it's a comedy, audiences will buy it.

Although such a movie is more suitable for the Lunar New Year period around the New Year, or as a small and medium-cost film in the summer, the success rate will indeed be very high.

However, once you are a comedian, you will always be a comedian——

If there are too many comedy movies like this, it will often leave a preconceived impression on the audience, making it difficult to change in the future.

Just like Uncle Ge on the other side of the Pacific, a series of New Year's comedies made the audience recognize his comedy image. Even though he showed very good acting skills in "The Night Banquet", the audience could not stop "laughing at the sight of him". !

——So his several transformations into dramas failed.

It can only be said that Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails...
