Chapter 1218

After rejecting Paul Greengrass's proposal to use a better camera, Simon explained that he was still slightly disappointed, and then added: "Paul, the core shooting equipment and picture quality can't be changed, but you can give full play to some auxiliary equipment such as lighting, which is different from the budget of ghost and the witch Blair I won't limit it too much. Of course, it's still within $3 million, because $3 million is a threshold, not only for the trade union, but also for the audience's psychology. "

Ultra low cost gimmicks have been used once in ghost record. Next, if you want to attract the audience, the quality of the film is the key, so you need enough investment.

Paul Greengrass raised some hope and said tentatively, "Simon, can I find a better photographer? I mean, even if first person shooting requires the actors to hold their own devices, good photographers can still give good guidance. "

"No problem." Simon nodded this time and added, "but don't forget, within three million dollars."

"I promise."

Girl a then connected the IREC that Paul Greengrass had just provided, and closed the automatic curtains in her study. The surrounding environment was dark, and the projection screen on the east wall was slowly falling.

After that, Simon signaled that girl a was operating a laptop in front of her, and a sample shot soon appeared on the screen.

Paul Greengrass filmed a lot of material. Under his guidance, girl a only played a few key parts, mainly involving the shooting of some important plots in the film.

After seeing it, Simon was very satisfied.

Or compared with the original, just one shot, the team has to pay too much attention. In addition, Denise Entertainment's rich resources support, the details have been done to the greatest extent.

Like seasons.

The reason why the southern states were chosen instead of the northern states was to consider the elements of the season.

If you choose the north, although there is no lack of evergreen coniferous forest zone, but during the next shooting period, once it snows, it will definitely be a disaster for the shooting of this film.

As for California, it's very close to Los Angeles and has Mediterranean climate. It seems to be the best in spring all the year round, but it lacks a bleak and cold winter.

This is just right in the southern states of the subtropical climate region.

It's not as exuberant as Los Angeles, it's not as withered as the north, and it's not likely to encounter extreme winter weather at any time.

If we can't take these into account, or just make do to save time, the effect is bound to be unsatisfactory.

He has been immersed in the film and television circles for two years. Simon can deeply feel that the quality of a film has nothing to do with the ability of the filmmaker. On the contrary, it has much to do with the filmmaker's carelessness. As long as the creator has invested enough energy and scored ten or even twelve points within his own ability, the quality of his works will not be too bad.

After watching the sample film taken by IREC, we had another discussion. The curtains were opened again and the office was bright again.

Simon also opened a note in his hand and said to the public, "well, let's talk about some details of the plot."

The notes in his hand are some records made by Simon after reading the first draft of the script provided by the team of "the witch Blair". He glanced down and said: "first, if the sacrificial array placed by the witch is shown to the audience without reference, the effect is not clear enough only by the speech introduction of the character itself. By the way, didn't you say that you collected a lot of information about witches? "

Everyone nodded. The light haired and delicate young screenwriter, Annika setel, took a thick folder out of her satchel and wanted to pass it to Simon.

Simon waved his hand and said, "I don't need to see it. I mean, you can use this information to make a prop, such as the witch's manual. When people see the sacrificial array in the forest, they can take it out on the spot as a contrast, which will give the audience a more real feeling and enhance their persuasion."

In the new version of the script, several protagonists find the witch's sacrificial array with stones, wood and white bones in the dense forest, which is a big turning point of the film.

In the setting, the effect of this array is to curse the people who step into it. They will encounter bad luck within three days and eventually die.

The beginning of the story is an adventure for five young men and women to explore witches. It's more playful, and they don't think they will encounter any witches. As a result, two of the five men, together with Katherine mooning's careless tomboy Jessica, stepped into the array and took photos.

The roles played by Amy Aker and Rachel McAdams did not enter, and eventually brought different results.

Simon is the creator of the story, and the effect of this suggestion is obvious. We will make a decision after a few words of discussion.

Then Simon said: "also, about death, Jessica first died because she fell into a pit with wooden thorns, which is not enough to pave the way. I saw the script begin to interview the residents of the small town. In the interview, an old man reminded explorers to pay attention to the traps left by early hunters, but such an important turning point needs more practical props to pave the way, such as Rusty traps. "Obviously, there will be no comment on this.

Simon didn't waste his time, and continued quickly: "death, whether it's Jessica or the two boys who drowned in a stream, there's no need to give too much description in the film, because it's a fake documentary. A normal person can't be in too much mood to shoot a video when his companion is in danger. Therefore, the detailed description of this part in the script needs to be deleted. "

As a screenwriter, Annika setel raised her hand slightly, got Simon's smile and said, "Mr. westrow, the death process of the two boys may be omitted, but the picture of Jessica falling into a pit full of thorns and dying is very powerful, and I think it should be preserved."

Simon nodded: "yes, but don't give too many close ups."

Paul Greengrass put forward his own opinion: "maybe Brigitte can make the camera fall down and cut out when the camera is aiming at the pit. People have already restrained Jessica's body."

Jerry brookheimer also said at this time: "if the effect of the falling rocking lens is good, some should be cut in. I have seen some hand-held style lenses in Paul's films. That kind of rocking motion can arouse the audience's mood."

Paul Greengrass was awakened, and then said, "if you shoot this shot a few more times, it will definitely produce good material."

Simon agreed with a smile: "in this case, you should remember to bring more irecs. Anyway, as many tincobail as you want will be provided."

Everybody laughed.

Simon soon talked about the next topic. This time, he first looked at Amy Aker and Rachel McAdams, who had been sitting in the corner as vases. In fact, she also understood that Lena brought two girls to show her face in front of him, so that she could be remembered: "there is another small detail. I think it's better to find a camera when the last selected Kaila walked to the witches naked at night A double. "

When Lena heard this, she immediately said, "Simon, Rachel is OK, and it's just a vague figure. It doesn't show at all."

Rachel McAdams, who was slightly mentioned by a big man, nodded in agreement, then pretended to be shy, smiling and drooping slightly.

However, it is obvious that people want to get in the way.

Simon shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't mean that. I mean..." Simon said, pulling a split shot sketch directly from the folder in front of him: "that's about it."

Let's look at it.

It is obvious that the draftsman has a good skill. Although the brushwork is scribbled, people can easily see that the figure of a naked woman shuttling through the woods at night is walking towards a group of witches who are vaguely supposed to be floating in the air and dancing around the fire.

This is actually Simon's excerpt from a plot in Hollywood actress Anya Taylor joy's the witch. In that movie, Anya's heroine finally goes to a group of witches naked after all her family members die, and formally degenerates.

In the new version of Blair the witch, Rachel McAdams plays Keira and Simon, who give the same ending and disappear completely. No one knows whether she is a member of the witch or a sacrifice made by the witches.

In addition, the classic thriller of the witch floating in the air in that movie was also introduced into the new "the witch Blair" by Simon.

Amy Aker plays Bridget, the last girl who returns quietly because of fear after tracking and shooting Kayla to the witch. After recording another classic scene in the original "the witch Blair" which only shows half a face, she also announces the end of the film in a scream because of an inexplicable attack, including the report of the opening flashback It was found.

Five people, all missing, no one alive, no body dead.

At this moment, we all have some doubts when we look at Simon's lens paintings.

Is there a problem?

Finally, brookheimer said tentatively, "Simon, you mean you need to find one Well, a girl with a better figure? "

When Jerry brookheimer said this, we looked at the draft of the lens again, and immediately found the key to the matter. The woman in the picture, indeed, has a very perfect and attractive funnel-shaped figure that can make straight men feel even a few strokes.

It's not really this, is it?

Immediately, Simon said firmly in everyone's doubts: "yes, I need a girl with a better figure."

[red envelope for reading book] pay attention to public... Public number [bookfriend base camp], and draw 888 cash red envelope for reading book!

After a little pause, Simon explained: "we can't deny that this is a very strange but tempting shot. Even in the future, many viewers will buy tickets for this shot and watch it again and again, or even purchase video tapes for collection. It's no shame, blood and sex, the eternal theme of commercial films. We won't highlight these two aspects in this "the witch Blair", but a few elements, such as the death of Jessica and the departure of Keira, I hope they can do the best. "Now there's nothing to say.

Listening to Simon, Rachel McAdams, sitting on the outside, even has a little low self-esteem. She really doesn't have such a good figure. Even frankly, she has a straight figure. Even if she girds up her waist, the key is that she can't reach the seductive arc in the picture.

It's just, what's the matter?!

It's always the actors who want to find doubles, and the producers are resourceful in persuading them to undress. Now, it's clear that the actors themselves are willing, but they are rejected.

They are still young girls, don't want face?
