Entering the working state, time passes quickly.
Residents in the largest city of Kauai Island, Li Hu Ye, have seen hundreds of "Jurassic Park" crew members go to the canyon area of the island every morning for shoots, just like working.
The news of the start of "Jurassic Park" has already appeared in the media. As a high-profile movie, people are curious how Eric will "resurrect" ancient dinosaurs.
Of course, there are people who are willing to work for this. In addition to the crew of "Jurassic Park", paparazzi from all over the world also appeared on Kauai Island, and all kinds of secrets of the crew were explored in order to prevent shoots information The crew had to take very strict security measures, especially the dinosaur models. Once the movie ’s photos and other information were leaked before the movie was released, it would be a big disaster for the movie. After all, the selling point of "Jurassic Park" is the real dinosaurs. If the audience sees the dinosaurs in the picture and suddenly thinks of a dinosaur model photo exposed on a magazine, the movie watching experience will definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, even the crew of the crew, it is impossible to see the dinosaur model all the time. These props will only appear on the set when the relevant clips of shoots are available, and once the shoots is completed, the model will be quickly designated by someone. Escort to a tightly guarded warehouse.
When the main crew on Kauai Island started shooting, the two male & female leadss who played Allen.Grant and Ellie Settler were also in the shoots archaeological scene at the Red Rock Canyon National Park in California, and played by the lawyer of John. Also in the Dominican shoots amber mine scene, only two small Actor and some other supporting roles Actor appeared in the crew. "Jurassic Park" is a multi-line narrative film, so this situation did not affect the operation of the crew at all. Eric just happened to be able to run in the secondary group of shoots.
A week later, when the starring Actor appeared on Kauai Island, Eric had completed the scene of the accident when the worker transported velociraptor at the beginning of the movie and most of the shot of the obese software engineer Danny.
In the dinosaur base built in the canyon, Eric looked at the bull in the venue who was still scared and still kicking wildly, as well as some helpless staff around the neighborhood, turned to the deputy Director who was responsible for the arrangement of props : "Royce. What's going on, don't you say it's okay?"
Royce does n’t have any other staff members looking at the lively mood and grinning: “Eric, this cow is usually very docile. Although it ’s a bull, it ’s a pasture, and it wo n’t be a problem if you take a few whips. Think, it ... it might be high. "
Royce said. Pointing to the nearby crane, shoots is the lens feeding velociraptor. A live cow is sent into the velociraptor 'nest' through the crane. However, the originally docile cow was quickly violent after being lifted by the crane. Struggling, the strength of the crane was so great that the crane ’s mechanical arm was shaking, and even if the lens forced the shoots out, it would definitely not work. Eric had to direct the driver to put down the cow immediately. However, after the landing, the irritated bull still did not calm down, dragging the wire rope still wrapped around him wildly, and almost injured people.
Between the two speaking, the staff with anesthesia guns appeared outside the venue, and they were signaled that the mad bull was shot and stunned. Several other crew members stepped forward and dragged the cow out together.
Eric rubbed temple(s) annoyedly, animal Actor is really a big trouble for any crew. Fortunately, the dinosaur props are not alive: "Royce, but I don't care what method you use. Tomorrow, at the latest The Day After Tomorrow. Find me a cow that is not afraid of height."
Although this simple feeding shot may appear in the movie for only a few seconds, it has taken more than two hours from the beginning to the present, but this is the result. Of course, Royce can see the Eric depressed. Not daring to bargain, nodded and promised, but Eric has already taken the speaker from the assistant: "OK, this shot will be skipped first, we will go directly to the next scene of shoots, Nickel, quickly arrange the seats, and others, all move Get up! "
Hearing the roar of Director, the people who were still remembering the anecdote just came to their jobs quickly, and went to their jobs. Eric also picked up the desk and walked towards several leading actors.
"I'm so sorry, it seems that we are going directly to the shoots's next drama. Are you sure there is no problem here?" Eric walked over to Sam Neill and asked.
Sam Neill, Helen Hunt, and others came around with a smile, nodding and saying no problem.
Eric has not participated in the dialogue between Actor, he only needs to see the final result, see everyone nodding, and then said: "The next is a group drama, all five of you will appear in the camera. In order to cooperate with you into the play, the corresponding dinosaur sound effects will be played. I hope everyone can reflect the emotions that their characters should have. "
Although a certain proud ’s fear of heights has caused some minor accidents, even the best crew will have some minor accidents from time to time, so everyone is not surprised. After skipping the feeding lens, they acted as photography directors. Nickel.Frank will soon arrange the next few shots.
"Photography, OK!"
"Lights, OK!"
"Recording, OK!"
"..."
In intercom, the response of the leaders of each group sounded, and Eric only announced that shoots continued to start.
This is a scene of five starring adult Actor after seeing the base feeding velociraptor. At this time, it has not been long before Dr. Grant and his party saw the resurrection of the dinosaurs, but everyone's moods are different.
As a dinosaur archaeologist, Dr. Grant is still in a state of excitement, asking various questions from John. Hammond and administrator Robert. Malden from time to time, showing a strong desire for knowledge . After seeing the dinosaurs eating, Dr. Ellie Setler showed a woman's unique intolerance, and the excitement of the dinosaurs disappeared a lot. The chaos scientist Ian. Malcolm has always expressed some worries from the moment he saw the resurrection of the dinosaurs. He observed that this kind of worries became more serious after eating velociraptor. John. In a state of complacency, lawyer Donald is thinking about how to commercialize Jurassic Park.
Although everyone ’s minds are different, it ’s not so easy to show it perfectly, but consider that the audience tends to focus on the speaker. Therefore, Eric, who pays attention to the monitor, has always focused on the speaker, if the other party's performance during the speech is impeccable, and the others are above the standard. Then this shot can be passed.
In spite of this, a few minutes of conversation footage used up the remaining hour of the morning.
After lunch, while the Actors were in good condition, the crew immediately moved to another scene.
"Look at Royce, if you find a suitable cow tomorrow. First arrange for the shot of the morning. If you ca n’t find it, follow the original schedule shoots. In addition, pay attention to the recent weather and weather conditions. I am ready to arrange a chase scene in rainy days, I do n’t want to see it raining, but I want to start shooting but there are various problems ... "
After a day ’s work, Eric held a bottle of mineral water in his hand and quickly explained the matters to the crew ’s assistant Director while walking.
The two walked all the way to a jeep. The driver opened the door for Eric and Eric finished drinking the water in his hand. The empty bottle was tucked into the trash can by the road before it got into the jeep.
In the back seat, Alan sitting on the other side has spread out the folder on his knee.
When the set was set, Eric was an Director. However, in many cases, Eric would have to switch to another status once the job was closed.
The jeep drove smoothly on the road. Alan didn't say anything nonsense, and started his work directly.
"The budget for the new season of 《Friends》," X file "and" Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? "has been made. There are also announcement budgets for several movies of Firefly and Disney in the second half of the year. These documents require you to read and sign as soon as possible."
Eric nodded.
"The opening of Disneyland Paris is scheduled for September 10th. I hope you will be able to attend the opening ceremony in person. An invitation has been sent."
"September 10. What is this date?" Eric wondered.
Alan explained: "Disney also raised objections. The summer vacation on September 10 just passed, but this is the arrangement of the French partner. The entire Europe is opposed to the opening of Disneyland Paris. They chose this date. It is also because of the corresponding pressure. "
The Eric index finger swipes lightly on the thigh, and the shoots of "Jurassic Park" will take at least 10 weeks. If everything goes well, maybe he will be able to rush to Paris on September 10.
"Look at the situation, if I can attend, I will rush over, otherwise it will be consider as finished."
Alan quickly recorded a few words on the memo, and then continued: "There is one more thing, about" The Mask ", Fox is responsible for the overseas distribution of" The Mask ", currently the film is only in Europe seven countries The release has not yet covered the five major ticket country countries of Anglo-French-Italian-Spanish, but its total Box Office has accumulated more than 40 million USD. The marketing department has submitted a report. It is expected that the overseas Box Office of this movie may break 200 million USD, almost Twice as much as local. "
Alan here, looking at Eric, did not continue, these can already clearly convey the meaning of management.
Eric shook his head and smiled: "Firefly is responsible for domestic distribution, Fox is responsible for overseas. It was when I established TG that I agreed with Liz, so that they should not take this idea. Moreover," The Mask "is just an accident, Most of this kind of strong local comedy will not achieve good results overseas. "
Alan opened its mouth, but said nothing, quickly jotted down, and then said: "Also, Mr. Martin Davis will come on the 15th."
"Isn't that day off?"
"I told the other party about this, but Mr. Davis insisted on it."
"Then follow him," Eric said.
Alan turned the file in his hand and said, "One more thing, about" The Speed ", a week ago, there was an accident in the" The Speed "crew shoots, but it did not appear too serious. As a result, only three people suffered different degrees of trauma, and the most serious one only needs a month of cultivation. This thing would have passed after the crew clarified, but three days ago, a copy called "Daily Hollywood" Entertainment newspaper published a follow-up report on this matter, pointing the finger at you. "
"I?" Eric lifted his body slightly.
Alan took a copy of newspaper from the folder and handed it to Eric: "Look."
Eric took over and quickly browsed the articles that have been marked by Alan with a red pen. This report raved about the accident of the "The Speed" crew and pointed the finger at the Eric that provided the story's creativity. It was Eric who set this story too thrilling, which caused an accident in the course of the crew shoots. In the end, this report even called on the Los Angeles government and industry associations to pay attention to this matter, and hoped that the "The Speed" crew could suspend shoots and accept the corresponding safety investigation.
"How is the result?" After reading the report, Eric asked Shen Sheng, this report is already the news three days ago, and since it was handed to yourself, there must be follow-up.
"After this report, several other newspaper also reprinted this article. However, realizing that this matter is unusual, the public relations department quickly followed up and has now subsided."
Eric gently rubbed temple(s) without thinking about it. He also knew that this was someone who could not stand loneliness and wanted to do some small actions. It seems that the success of "Twister" really stimulated those people, after all If you just want to hype a piece of news, you will not turn the spearhead on him at all.
"Did you find more news?" Although Alan didn't say it, Eric was already aware of the result, but he tentatively asked.
Alan shook his head: "No, but" Daily Hollywood "is a copy of newspaper owned by Newhouse Media."
Eric recalled the information about Newhouse and quickly said: "You sent a letter to the person in charge of Newhouse media in my name. My request is not excessive, so that the editor-in-chief of" Daily Hollywood "and write that report Reporters get out, I do n’t care what the person behind me tells me, since they have taken advantage of it to be willing to use cannon fodder, they must have the consciousness to do cannon fodder. "(To be continued.)
