Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 546 Baker Street Squad

Of course, in most cases, the filming of a movie will not follow the order of the story.

On the contrary, many times, regardless of the order of the story, all the plots in one scene are filmed first, and then switch to a new scene.

This is mostly about getting the most out of the set.

After all, the work of setting the scene is quite troublesome. Repeating the same set up for a scene can be said to be a serious waste.

If you can set up the scene once, you can judge multiple shots, and it is best to use them all at once.

What's more, if you want to use some locations, you still need to pay rent.

——These places that are rented on a daily basis are naturally used intensively. It is better to rent less if you can.

You know, directors like the King of Sunglasses who make movies regardless of cost or time are ultimately the minority among the minority.

After all, most people make movies to make money, and naturally they need to consider cost and time.

Therefore, the scene-based shooting model will become the mainstream of Hollywood commercial movies.

The same is true for Charlotte's "Detective Sherlock Holmes"——

After filming the first meeting between Mary Morstan and Sherlock Holmes, the crew quickly switched to a famous place.

——The famous 221B Baker Street.

This apartment of Holmes and Watson can be said to be a temple in the history of reasoning, and is naturally an essential scene in "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Although, in real history, 221B Baker Street did not exist.

——Although Baker Street is a real street in London, when Conan Doyle wrote "The Sherlock Holmes", there were numbers 1 to 42 on the east side of Baker Street from south to north, and 44 on the west side from north to south. No. ~85, No. 221 does not exist.

The current address of 221B Baker Street was built by the British in 1930 to commemorate Sherlock Holmes.

Now, this is a real Sherlock Holmes Museum, and to some extent it lives up to its name.

Of course, it was impossible for "Sherlock Holmes" to be filmed in this real 221B Baker Street.

After all, this place is as big as a museum, so we can’t let the crew do whatever they want.

——This is the same as the fact that there are many movies about the White House in Hollywood, but few crews actually have the opportunity to go to the White House to shoot live.

However, in order to achieve the greatest reproduction effect, Lao Qiang still took the set crew to shoot the scene at the real 221B Baker Street.

After that, they built 221B Baker Street in a 19th-century Victorian British style according to the location, combined with the original work of the Sherlock Holmes series and the requirements of director Charlotte.

At least, even real British people like Rachel Weisz and Jude Law felt like "this is Sherlock Holmes' home" when standing on the shooting scene.

“This interior set is so well done!”

Charlize, who accompanied Charlotte to the set today, also praised it.

After she and Charlotte came to the UK, she lived a more comfortable life without having to work for a while.

She sometimes visited the set of "Sherlock Holmes", sometimes visited various attractions in London, and sometimes went to the filming set of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"...

Although the paparazzi in the UK are very rampant, with the help of the Evil God's Disguise, the paparazzi can't do anything to her and Charlotte.

The only bad thing may be that after becoming pregnant, their nightlife has been somewhat affected.

Although it's not impossible to do it, you still have to be careful...

Of course, this is just a minor problem.

In fact, Charlize often appears on the set of "Sherlock Holmes" not only to accompany her boyfriend, but also to study——

After experiencing the project "The Devil", she also developed a certain interest in production work.

After all, as a filmmaker, how many movies that he doesn’t want to participate in can be pushed forward according to his own wishes?

so,

Charlize is now taking advantage of her pregnancy to learn from Charlotte in order to understand the behind-the-scenes aspects of the filming process besides acting.

Like now, she is very interested in the interior layout of "221B Baker Street".

Charlotte saw that the actors were still putting on makeup and could not start filming for a while, so she explained to Charlize,

"Actually, before Lao Qiang and the others went to the Sherlock Holmes museum to shoot, I had already given preliminary layout requirements for this room based on the needs of the plot."

"Later, after they came back from shooting, we combined the two and drew many original paintings of the set of this room."

"And that's not all - after that, the people from the game team specially created a relatively simple 3D room scene based on the original painting."

"On the one hand, this is to test whether the effect of the original painting can form the picture I need after it is arranged into a real scene. On the other hand, it is also for use by the game team."

"You know, "Detective Sherlock Holmes" has a linked game of the same name. Many of our resources can be used in common..."

Charlotte said a lot in one breath, leaving Charlize dumbfounded.

Although she had known before that the behind-the-scenes work of a movie was quite complicated and delicate, she had never expected that the construction of a scene would be so complicated.

"Are all commercial blockbuster scenes so troublesome?"

Charlize asked helplessly.

"Roughly the same!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Of course, if it is not linked to the game, it may be one less link to create 3D scenes than we are - this is my latest proposal."

"However, the level of detail is roughly the same."

"Of course, how detailed it can be is also related to the budget and the director's skill."

Charlotte smiled and said,

"Although I have very high requirements for the scene like 221B Baker Street, it can't reach the level of James Cameron in "Titanic" - this obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, but because an audience can't see it at all, The White Star Company’s trademark actually cost more than $1 million to re-order the entire set of tableware!”

"..."

"Although your tone is contemptuous, what's with that longing expression on your face!!?"

Charlize complained in his mind.

She always felt that recently, when she faced Charlotte, her desire to complain had become stronger.

"Is this a side effect of pregnancy?"

Charlize, who had never been a mother, was thinking wildly.

But Charlotte, who didn't know the girl's inner turmoil, continued to teach her her experience.

"Actually, Sally, most of the time, as a producer, you don't need to know these details - you just need to hire enough professional people, and then control the budget and assessment methods. What's more, when shooting a movie, The cost of setting up the scenes and producing the props can actually be recovered.”

"You mean!?"

"After the movie is released, just auction it off as a souvenir!"

Charlotte said it bluntly.
