Chapter 687 Stable Team
The next two days, this group of students arrived on the set of "The Dark Knight", studied here for two days, and then returned to China.
Just as everyone was marveling at the preparation workshop for "The Dark Knight", an acquaintance saw Guo Fan.
"Old Guo? Is that you, Lao Guo?"
"Old Li? Are you here on the set of "The Dark Knight"?" Seeing the students who were also Chinese, Guo Fan still Very happy.
"Yes, we have been visiting these days! How did you get here?" Lao Li asked curiously.
There was a Chinese in the crew of "The Dark Knight", the famous Guo Fan. The students were very curious and surrounded him to ask.
Guo Fan said with a smile: "I'm here to study. I came here in advance to work as an assistant director."
Everyone immediately thought that Guo Fan seemed to be a student of little Gilbert. Asked: "Did Little Gilbert ask you to come?"
"Yes." Guo Fan did not hide it.
"Wow!" There were envious voices all around.
Look, this is the gap.
We took a vague look at it, looking at nothing and not saying anything. They even hid it from you. Look at Guo Fan learning directly from his teacher and participating in the production of Hollywood movies from beginning to end.
In the past, Ning Hao was just an errand boy in "Lord of the Rings", but now he is not that awesome. Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun only played orcs in "The Lord of the Rings", and they both became international superstars.
This Guo Fan is incredible. He is really working on a big Hollywood film crew. He studied under Gilbert Jr., and his future prospects are limitless!
While envious, some people will inevitably be a little jealous, imagining that they can replace Guo Fan.
It's a pity that these students didn't even see little Gilbert a few times, and they didn't even have a chance to talk.
Little Gilbert didn't pay much attention to these students who were sent here. It was impossible to expect them to learn the production model of Hollywood movies in one week.
And they can’t learn it. When Guo Fan was chatting with little Gilbert in private, he said that Chinese-language films would not be able to reach the current level of Hollywood in ten years.
This is not a gap in the level of the creators, but a gap in the overall quality of the personnel.
For example, if Gilbert Jr. were a Chinese-language film director and was still as good as he is now, he would definitely not be able to shoot "The Dark Knight."
The reason is simple. Big-budget Hollywood movies are never something that can be completed by just one director or a few core members. There are too many things involved.
Without a reliable and stable team, even as strong as Gilbert Jr., or even with Spielberg, James Cameron, and George Lucas, there is no way to produce a stable movie. .
Not to mention, little Gilbert almost makes movies at a rate of one a year.
For films that are produced within a few months or even a few weeks, the only way to find them is in the independent film industry, including the San Fernando Valley.
However, it is common for independent films to obtain investment for several years or even more than ten years.
Because Hollywood has sufficient talents and a stable team style and structure, Gilbert Jr. can use a mature team to continuously produce new movies.
Guo Fan wrote something in his notebook: Industrialization process is the core, technology is the guide, but talent is the foundation.
His understanding is very deep, so he came to that conclusion. This is an ideal analysis based on reality, not despair.
If you can see the gap, there is hope, at least that's what Guo Fan feels. This group of Chinese students went back very quickly. In this week, they learned nothing except experiencing the shock of Hollywood movie production and talking about awesome things.
Originally, what can this person who swallows everything learn?
However, word has spread that Guo Fan is studying with his teacher Gilbert Jr., and the behind-the-scenes profession of director is not getting much attention nowadays.
If any star participates in "The Dark Knight", the news will be all over the sky. However, the director's words did not attract much attention, and eventually the circle reported it.
At this time, Guo Fan’s partner Liu Ji, who stayed in China, instantly became a hot commodity. He found that many agents began to bring various beautiful girls around in front of him, but he still kept the bottom line.
Liu Ji understood that all these results were brought about by Guo Fan.
Without him, these usually aloof managers and celebrity artists would not take him seriously.
When Guo Fan comes back, their company will become a new force in the entertainment industry. And Liu Ji wants to be the next Zhang Weiping, no, he will be more awesome than Zhang Weiping.
Isn’t Zhang Weiping just holding the National Preceptor Zhang? Guo Fan will be more powerful than the national teacher Zhang in the future.
After a long preparation period, shooting of "The Dark Knight" finally started in Chicago in mid-October. This time the Chicago city government still gave enough support and even provided the location for free shooting.
The city government also promised that incidents as vicious as the last Chicago robbery would never happen. The Chicago police are even busier. In addition to their usual work hours, they also have to make temporary guest appearances and continue to play police officers in Gotham City.
Gilbert Jr. prioritized and concentrated on filming the Joker's scenes. Heath Ledger was in excellent condition. Gilbert Jr. did not want to waste Heath Ledger's good condition.
At the same time, he also wanted to end Heath Ledger's scenes early so that Heath Ledger could finish filming first and then rest and get out of his clown state.
As I said before, the death of Heath Ledger in his previous life actually had nothing to do with the role of the Joker. It was more due to an overdose of drugs.
End it earlier and Heath Ledger can go to treatment earlier.
However, the first scene that the crew started shooting was not a scene with Heath Ledger, but a scene with Nicolas Cage and Jennifer Connelly.
This scene was filmed in a court in Chicago. It was a trial scene. It introduces the character of Harvey Dent and also shows his character.
Jennifer Connelly is just a vase, she can just show off her beauty by wearing a hip-hugging skirt and black silk professional attire. The focus of this scene was all on Nicolas Cage, and he didn't disappoint.
Perhaps due to sufficient preparation in the early stage, or perhaps because the former Oscar winner has not lost his strength, Nicolas Cage is in a rare good condition.
However, there was a small accident during the filming. When Nicolas Cage grabbed the gun and unloaded it, it jammed twice and failed.
But little Gilbert didn't stop. He knew Nicolas Cage's duality of ghost and ghost. It was rare to be in such good condition, so of course it couldn't be wasted.
When this happened, Nicolas Cage took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, my fault, I didn't use it skillfully."
Little Gilbert didn't care: "It doesn't matter, let's continue. Shooting.”
Shooting again, this time it went very smoothly. After all, Nicolas Cage has acted in action scenes and is very experienced. He knocked down the suspect with one punch, grabbed the pistol, and successfully unloaded it.
"Made of carbon fiber, .28 caliber, German product."
Nicolas Cage faced the camera: "Mr. Manilow, if you want to get rid of a public official, I suggest using American goods."
Little Gilbert has changed here, and the Chinese goods have become German goods. , conveniently hacked a handful made in Germany. Little Gilbert doesn't have a filter made in Germany, so he has to be dark when he needs to be.
