Chapter 94
Chapter 93: Challenge Hollywood
After Zhang Yong returned from Spielberg, he immediately started writing the script and was ready to start the filming preparations. And Spielberg also hyped up this bet in the media, because he knows that the Chinese are very good-faced. If this matter is made known to everyone, when Zhang Yong really loses, he will only Able to complacently admit it.
“Mr. Zhang, it’s not good. The actors’ union and directors’ union in Hollywood are boycotting you. Even if you write a script, you will not be able to find actors in Hollywood, because the actors participating in the show will be directed by the director. If the trade union boycotts, we won’t be able to receive Hollywood dramas in the future.” Xu Lili came to Zhang Yong’s hotel apartment early the next morning to shoot the door, and woke Zhang Yong and Du Xiaoyu who were not fully awake. .
“Ah, how could this be? It seems that Spielberg is not a good person. He gave us so many favorable conditions on the surface, but now he is stabbing a knife in the back, leaving us without actors. There are no actors. How can we make our movie!” Du Xiaoyu was a little dissatisfied with the new arrival so early, but when he heard the news, he became even more angry.
“Mr. Spielberg can’t be blamed for this,” Xu Lili apparently investigated before he came, “It’s just that some people in the Actors Guild and the Directors Guild really want our company’s 3D film synthesis technology, so they privately This boycott is organized underneath. Shall we speak to Mr. Spielberg and let him deal with it?”
“No, if we look for him now, it would seem that we are too weak.” Zhang Yong is the more courageous type, obviously he will not be defeated by this difficulty.
“We can also ask the consulate of our country to help and transfer some actors from China. With the help of the consulate, the actors should be able to come in a week or so through the special green channel.” Xu Lili gave another suggestion.
“The green passage is likely to be blocked by the Americans. Time is too tight. This suggestion is not very good.” Zhang Yong said, “Actually, we don’t necessarily need to invite foreigners to be actors. In our room, Aren’t there two ready-made actors?”
“A ready-made actor?” Xu Lili was stunned and looked at Zhang Yong and Du Xiaoyu, “President Zhang and Miss Du are really good actors, but can two people be able to film?” Xu Lili was a little puzzled.
“Of course it’s not enough, but as long as the two of us are the leading roles, the other minor supporting roles can be played by the employees of the TF company store. They don’t have many roles anyway.”
“…Okay, then I’ll prepare the film equipment.” Xu Lili said. This Zhang Yong, the first gold he earned, was really shot by the male lead Zhang Yong and the female lead Li Li. Now, is Mr. Zhang going to shoot a two-person movie again? Although the heroine has been changed compared to the time, this heroine is actually more professional, so Xu Lili is still looking forward to it.
This time, the script Zhang Yong prepared for the challenge was “Smart: Ghost Recording”. The film tells the story of a young couple Katie (Du Xiaoyu) and Mika (Zhang Yong) who are frightened by strange noises at night after moving into a suburban apartment, so they decide to place a camera in their bedroom to capture potential The “weird phenomenon” story. The reason for choosing this movie is that Spielberg’s condition at the time was to require the movie to have a higher income than his movie. Therefore, Zhang Yong decided to find a low-cost movie. If the cost is reduced in this way, even if the box office is the first, the income will be very high.
A little preparation, the movie is about to start shooting. Although Zhang Yong is rich, in order to save costs, the instruments are rented or borrowed from Chinese people in Cincinnati.
A young couple, Katie and Micah, have finally moved into their long-awaited big suburban house, but there is no sign of housewarming on their faces as they grow increasingly frightened. Found that there seems to be something unclean in this house. Later, Katie and Micah figured out a way, and they decided to replace their sleeping selves with cameras to see what was bothering them from time to time. So they installed multiple cameras in the house, hoping to record evidence of ghosts with real footage.
The film was shot continuously for 7 days, and after all the filming was completed, it was the post-production of the film. Although Zhang Yong’s own post-production ability is also very good, in order to make this film as exciting as possible, Zhang Yong is still prepared to let a professional team do post-production and soundtrack.
Because Zhang Yong is being boycotted by the Hollywood Actors Guild at this time, Zhang Yong can only find domestic post-production staff to help with the production. Of course, if ~www.readwn.com~ is only for post-production, Zhang Yong does not need to call his post-production team. After Zhang Yong asked for the help of the consulate, the consulate agreed to use the internal private network to provide the film for the production of the film. The original material is sent to China through a dedicated network, and the domestic team can carry out post-production. Therefore, Zhang Yong can successfully challenge Hollywood, and the help of the consulate is also very big.
The team participating in the post-production is mainly Ning Hao’s film team. Although Ning Hao is shooting “Tangshan Earthquake”, he is still in the pre-shooting process, and is not used for post-production for the time being. All Ning Hao’s post-production team, All were allocated to Zhang Yong for the post-production of “Smart: Ghost Recording”. The team members also know that this battle is not only for the box office, but also a battle of honor, so they all work extra hard and work overtime.
Even, in order to increase the box office of this movie and to create a better horror effect, many Chinese and Chinese have also provided help. For example, the production team that filmed “Mr. Zombie” in Xiangqi Lane also authorized those at that time. Classic horror music, allowing Zhang Yong’s team to use it for free in this movie.
The preparatory work for the filming of “Smart: Ghost Recording” took two days in total; the filming work took seven days in total, and then the post-production work was delayed for a few days in order to create a better effect, but also The seventh day is all done. Because the filming and distribution of this film will be abroad, and the special nature of this film, the film culture department has also specially approved a green channel, allowing the film to be sent back to the United States directly without review.
Finally, on the sixteenth day of the bet, the movie was all completed, and on the seventeenth day of the bet, the movie had been placed on Spielberg’s desk.
