Time slowly enters late August, and the competition in the summer season is coming to an end. The biggest winner of this year's summer season is undoubtedly "Transformers 2" produced by Sky Studios and released by Sony Columbia Pictures.
The film scored 391 million US dollars in North America and is still accumulating, making it the North American box office champion this year.
The global box office also exceeded 800 million US dollars, but the global box office champion is "Harry Potter and the Mixed Race Prince", which has exceeded 900 million US dollars in global box office.
The third best performance is "Iron Man 2" produced by Marvel Studios and released by Disney. The film received a box office of US$311 million in North America and a global box office of 721 million.
With "Iron Man 2", Marvel Studios' signature has stood up.
When the Marvel Cinematic Universe is promoted later, you can rely on the accumulated fans to go all out.
Marvel Studios is of course satisfied with this performance, and Marvel Studios' focus next is on "Avengers". The outside world has long heard of this news, and Jibert Jr. will also direct "Avengers" himself.
However, Marvel Studios still has to wait for Jibert Jr. because Jibert Jr. is currently busy with another big project!
"The train is a very important element," Gilbert Jr. discussed the shooting plan with his stunt guidance from downtown Chicago.
"I want the train to rush to the streets directly, it's better to arrange a few more cars to let the train crash the cars."
Luca Farias was not surprised at Jibert's crazy thoughts.
"We can't move the real train here unless we build another rail, but it costs too much."
Luca Farias touched his chin and thought, "We can modify the semi-trailer and model the train through connection."
"This idea is feasible, come up with a plan as soon as possible." Jibert Jr. agreed.
When he turned around and discussed the plot with Little Lizi, he said, "Although we don't want the dream to appear chaotic, the train rushed to the streets of the prosperous city center. This is something that could not happen in reality.
But I think it is necessary to use this scene to emphasize the potential dangers brought by Cobb. ”
Little Lizi was very excited when she heard this: "Yes, I'm already excited when I think of this scene."
Nowadays, computer stunts and green screen technology are very developed. According to the habits of ordinary directors, it is estimated that they will shoot directly on green screen. And the producers also require this because there are too many coordinations in real shooting.
But here in Jibert Jr., there would be no such choice.
If you can take real photos, you can take real photos. If you don’t have the conditions, you must take real photos. If you create conditions, you must take real photos. If you really can't take a real shot, you will choose to use CGI to make it.
For example, the scene of a train rushing to the streets is jaw-dropping.
Guo Fan finished filming of his "Source Code" and entered the post-production stage. In his spare time, he brought his friends Liu Ji and Gong Geer to visit the set.
Gong Geer looked at the semi-trailer that the crew of Inception was being modified and asked Guo Fan curiously: "What are they doing?"
"I don't know either, maybe it's for the sake of shooting!" Guo Fan guessed.
He found a person familiar with the props group: "Evans, what are you doing?"
When Evans saw that it was Guo Fan, he did not hide it and replied directly: "We want to convert this car into a train to complete the shooting."
When Gonggele saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't it say that Hollywood computer stunts are very developed? It's all done with computer stunts, right?"
Liu Ji explained: "Every director has a different style. Jibert Jr. is the kind of person who can shoot real photos without using computer stunts."
Gong Geer gave a thumbs up in admiration: "However, why do you say that he is a big director? He is awesome!"
Guo Fan led two Chinese people to visit, but there was no obstacle on the way. When you meet some familiar staff members, you will say hello to him.
This surprised Gong Geer, who had just come from China, that Guo Fan was able to make a living here and also gained an understanding of his friends' situation in Hollywood. Since I came to visit the crew, I naturally have to meet director Gilbert Jr.
Here, Jibert was communicating with the art director on art design, so Guo Fan led the two of them over.
"Director, let me introduce it. This is Liu Ji, my producer. Gong Geer, a singer, and also my good friend."
Jibert nodded slightly, and the two of them hurriedly said hello.
Jibert Jr. didn't care what the two of them were doing. He asked Guo Fan: "Is the production of "Source Code" still going smoothly?"
"Very smooth," Guo Fan was very excited, this was his first Hollywood movie directed.
"It is currently in post-production. If everything goes well, it should be able to catch up with next year's spring."
"Very good," Jibert nodded with satisfaction: "This is a test for you. Don't be idle in post-production. Come and see more when you have time."
With Jibert's words, he basically accused Guo Fan of entering and leaving the crew of "Inception".
Guo Fan was naturally grateful. Not everyone could get the opportunity to come to Jibert's crew to watch it from time to time.
After Guo Fan left, Charles Rowan worried, "There are rumors outside that you have accepted a Chinese director as a student. I am afraid that those outside will gossip."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Jibert Jr. glanced at Charles Rowan and said indifferently: "Go as they say, Charles.
As the saying goes, there are too many lice, and there is no need to worry about debt. Anyway, I have been said to be once or twice. Since they all said I did this, I might as well do it.
I want to see if it is God or Satan? What can I do to you? ”
Jibert Jr. has this arrogant capital, and he would never dare to do so before. But now he has become a leader in Silicon Valley capital and new Hollywood forces. Without any attitude, others will think he is easy to bully.
In fact, this is a process of testing, to see who retreats first.
As it turns out, as long as you have enough strength and tough enough, the weakness of capital will be fully exposed.
Nowadays, dogs bark because of your strength, so they bark in the distance. If you are weak, they won't bark.
Instead, he will put the gun on your forehead and force you to spit out all the good things.
A dog that bites people will not bark. The dog that quarrels you often bluffs and wants to scare you away because he is afraid of you.
Gilbert Jr. naturally could not be afraid, and there was no need for him to be afraid.
For the next period of time, in addition to being busy with the post-production of "Source Code", Guo Fan will also bring his Chinese team members to "Inception" from time to time.
Guo Fan’s purpose is to make his team members fully realize how the best crew in Hollywood and even the world work.
If you want to create a first-class crew, the best learning target is undoubtedly Gilbert's crew.
However, according to the current model of small workshops in the Chinese film industry, it is still very difficult to complete such a transformation.
But Guo Fan is not afraid, he is afraid that he will not dare to start with such a thing. As long as you start, Guo Fan will continue to do so no matter how difficult it is.
The crew of "Inception" is basically not suspected of Guo Fan, including art design, scene design, prop workshop, actor rehearsal, etc.
But there is one place that Guo Fan can never go to, that is Xiangcheng Studio. (This chapter ends)
