Chapter 115 "Vampire Dracula" Submitted for Trial
When I woke up, I was already in the company. I was lying on the bed, and my brains stood at the head of the bed, all of whom were full of worries.
Heidi told me that the doctor had come once and gave me an infusion of fluid, and my body temperature was initially stable.
"Andre, you must be admitted to the hospital now!" Heidi said to me in an orderly tone.
"No, the movie has just been filmed, and there are still a bunch of pornographic films left. I'm going to edit it soon. Let Stenberg and the others do it. I'm not at ease." I shook my head.
"Then your body is important!" Heidi shouted.
I glared at me: "I don't know my body yet! You women have long hair and short knowledge! The movie is now at a critical moment, and if there is a problem, it will fail! If you let me be admitted to the hospital, my heart is on the set! Besides, I am the director of this movie, but the screenwriter, if you ask them, can they grasp it if they ask them to edit it?!" I pointed to Stenberg and the others, and they looked at Heidi and shook their heads together.
Heidi was so unable to refute that I had to say, so she had to go angry with her head down.
It’s not that I’m not worried about the abilities of Steinberg, Griffith and others. What I’m worried about is that they don’t know much about many shots and new film concepts in the movie. If I ask them to edit it, it’s very likely that the effect I originally envisioned becomes no different from that of ordinary Hollywood directors in his hands. In addition, I take them to edit it, and by the way, I can also train them to gradually accept the new concepts of film.
Everyone who works in movies knows that the success of a movie is the key. When editing the same movie by different people, it can make it a classic in the history of film, or a third-rate bad movie. My movies, scripts I write, and I direct, let others edit them. No matter how high his level is, it will not be able to achieve the effect in my mind.
After finally finishing the filming, I can't make mistakes in the editing. Moreover, the cost of this movie is 800,000. Although it cannot be compared with MGM's 800 investment, for a small company like our DreamWorks, such a movie can be considered a big production. You know, I only have 3 million left in my hands. If this movie appears because of the editing, it would be strange if I was so angry that I vomited blood and died.
As women, Heidi and Lenny didn’t know what I was thinking. They only care about my body. In their eyes, there is nothing important about movies. If one movie is not successful, then another movie will be made. But if I have an accident, they will never agree.
The two of them persuaded me for a long time, but in the end I refused.
In their eyes, this is just a movie, but in the eyes of all the employees of DreamWorks and in the eyes of the fellow villagers on Harvey Street, this is their hope. If the movie fails, I can't imagine how sad they will be. If the movie fails, how can you tell me to have the face to eat Mr. Rock's black bread, and how can you have the face to walk in Harvey Street?
I asked Gans to drive Heidi and Lenny home, then after a morning of rest, I plunged into the editing room.
Stenberg, Griffith and others started working without a break, and they all had a lot of opinions, but they all knew my temper. In the company, I said one, that was a possibility of discussion, so they had to swallow their anger and start editing.
Facing the films that were more than 20 hours long, the record books and scores that were more than half a meter high, and the four pairs of eyes full of anticipation and excitement on the editing stage, what else can I say?
"Boss, do you want to take a break and edit it? Just leave it to us here." Seeing that I hadn't worked for a long time, I was so tired that I was sweating profusely. Griffith said worriedly.
I coughed a few times and shook my head resolutely: "It's okay, I'll go to the hospital after the editing is over. It's okay."
"Stenborg, have Gans been back?" I looked up and asked Stenborg.
A few days ago, I asked him to pay attention to the news about United States Company, but I don’t know how this kid is doing.
"I was still here just now." Stenborough replied.
"Come here for me." I took a sip of tea, then put on my gloves and turned to the editing station.
Stenberg didn't go out for long, so he called Gans in.
"Boss, do you have something to ask me for?" Gans panted, not knowing what he was busy with.
"I ask you, how is Chaplin's "Shoe Factory Worker" filming?" I took a sip of tea and sat in the chair and took a breath.
I have always been concerned about Chaplin's movie, and sometimes it is even more concerned than "The Vampire Dracula".
Gans took a few breaths and said to me: "Their investment in this movie is about 760,000 yuan. Chaplin pulled the crew to a shoemaking factory in San Francisco and finished the filming, but according to their shooting progress, there should be no problem this weekend."
"This weekend? What day is the week today?" I asked.
"Tuesday." Stiller looked at the calendar on the wall.
I nodded.
"Boss, are there any problems?" Dunar next to him asked when he saw my doubtful expression.
"Something is wrong." I frowned.
"What's the problem?!" Seeing me like this, everyone gathered together.
"During this period, you all know that the group of movies that imitate "The People Who Called for Help" have either been edited or have been released. Judging from the effect, half of the movies have been discounted, and only a small part of the two other half have received pretty good box offices, but their box office is incomparable to "The People Who Called for Help". Apart from that, the movies are basically just a little profit from guaranteed money."
"That's right, those guys' movies are all following the trend, and most of them are shoddy. How can you compare with us?!" Stiller said with a smile.
I shook my head: "I don't know others, but I know Chaplin too well. If he doesn't make movies, he will definitely devote all his energy to it. He is a person who pursues perfection and is very strong in doing things. According to his consistent shooting progress, this movie has been filmed and released long ago, but why has he been slow to finish shooting yet? Besides, his movie, whether it is the difficulty or subject matter, will not exceed ours. He should have finished filming first." I analyzed layer by layer.
A bunch of guys kept nodding when they heard it.
"Boss, is Chaplin trying to delay the screening time and arouse the enthusiasm of the audience? This is his usual trick." Griffith and Chaplin stayed with him the longest time and knew him best.
"This is possible, but I don't think it's all." I sat on the chair and touched my chin.
"Boss, does he want to wait until all the movies are screened before they are screened? In that case, he avoids this screening craze. With his reputation, he will definitely make a lot of money." Stenberg guessed.
"Stenberg is right, I also think Chaplin may think so. It is very difficult for "Shoe Factory Workers" to make a fortune in this group of "workers". With our "Doctors" in front and so many "workers" in the company behind, Chaplin even uses his full-body solution and it is difficult to achieve the expected results. The investment of 760,000 yuan is for Lianmei, if he loses the number, it will definitely be ugly and ugly. In addition, our new movie has become a hot item now. If he turns "Shoe Factory Workers"
If you get it to show with us, wouldn’t it be a shame? So, he, who has always been smart, decided to slow down the shooting progress and miss our movie. As long as he avoids our typhoon, he can successfully arrive on his boat. At that time, most Hollywood film companies are shooting new films, and there will be a relatively shortage of films. Even if some movies are shown, they are not his Chaplin’s opponent. After all, his fame is there. At that time, it will not be a problem to make money in this "Shoe Factory Worker"."
"It's the boss who analyzed it correctly! Why didn't I expect that Chaplin is quite brainy?" Dunar was very moved by Chaplin's methods.
"Boss, it's Chaplin's own business, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to concentrate on editing our movie. I can't see any problem." Stiller disagreed.
I sneered: "Japan Bao was almost unable to come back by that guy. I almost sent someone to plot against me. Do you think we have something to do with him? Isn't he afraid of colliding with us? Hehe, okay, this time I will hit him hard, and I can't swallow my breath if I don't hit him. Gans, you sent someone to keep a close eye on Chaplin for me. If he has any movement, he will tell me immediately. We will edit it normally, but we must choose to be on the same day as them when the release is released!"
"Boss, I support you!" Stenberg must have raised his hands to agree with my decision.
The other people also nodded vigorously and agreed.
"Boss, I have another question," Stiller asked.
"explain."
"How do we know the screening date for that movie Chaplin?"
"You are stupid! With Grant here, who are we afraid of!" Stendburg looked at Stiller with great contempt.
Everyone laughed.
Stenberg is right. Now all Hollywood movies have to be reported to the Code Execution Bureau for release dates. Grant can naturally know it as soon as possible. If he knows it, doesn’t it mean we know it?
Unlike the last time "People Who Called for Help", this time we did not get so busy that we were busy, but calmed down and worked slowly. At first I started editing with them, but as I coughed more and more, I later handed over the three of them the hands-on things, lying on the recliner on the side. Every shot they edited was completed and I took it for me to make the final decision. The four of them were very happy in the editing room, cutting, stopping, stopping, and cutting arrows, chatting, bragging, and very happy. Even Griffith's ability to tell dirty jokes has improved a lot.
Gans kept sending people to inform us of Chaplin's progress, which made me know Chaplin's every move.
It was cut until 330. When we finished nearly half of the editing of "Dracula Vampire", Chaplin's movie was finally finished.
On the 44th, the film "Dracula Vampire" was officially edited. + Hou, Chaplin's movie, half of it was already considered good.
On the afternoon of 4, I took the sample to the city government, where this movie will be picked up.
Review by the Executive Board.
As soon as I entered the city office, I saw Grant chatting with a beautiful female employee at the entrance of the stairs, smiling so hard that she shuddered.
I made a gesture to him, and Grant left the female clerk and walked towards me reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, it's a good thing to bother you." I smiled.
Grant's old face turned red: "What nonsense? I'm teaching her life experience."
"Yes, yes, that's what's happening in bed is also considered life experience." I smiled.
Grant almost sprayed his coffee onto my clothes. While taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his mouth, he pointed at me and said, "I won't tell you, I can't tell you, why, the famous busy people in Hollywood, what's the price to do when I come to us today?"
I pointed to the box in Jack's hand and said to Grant, "What can we miserable people who make movies do here to you?"
Grant stared at the black suitcase, his eyes shone, and he pulled me up, screaming: "No, no! Your movie is finished editing?!"
"Yes." I don't understand why he was so excited.
Grant drank the coffee in the cup in one sip, then threw the cup into the trash can next to me, and said to me, "Andre, you don't know, I'm almost waiting for you in this movie! Vampire! Dracula! Be good, I want to watch it in my dream!"
"As for you like to be like this?" I glanced at him.
Grant yelled: "Who is a bitch who doesn't like evil, bloody, violent, and finally, a little more!? You kid has always been more powerful than a ghost. This time, this movie has already made all the audience in terms of themes! Now even the general inspector of the Hollywood Police Department has firmly believed that the murder case was done by a vampire!"
I chuckled twice and said to Grant in a low voice: "Grant, if I told you that there is evil, blood, violence, and in the end, more than a little bit, would the people in the Codex Executive Board crack my movie?" I completed a scissor-shaped figure with both hands.
Grant asked in my ear, "Is there really these?"
"yes."
"Oh!" Grant screamed as he stuck out his tongue.
"Can you pass?" I said happily.
"I don't know." Grant shrugged.
"Then you are so damn it!?" I was almost angry with him.
Grant looked at the suitcase and swallowed his saliva: "No matter whether you pass or not, I can finally have a sneak peek today!"
Seeing this guy looking so slapped, I really wanted to turn around and leave with my suitcase.
"Stop making trouble, tell me the truth quickly." I poked Grant's waist.
"How much is exposed? Is this exposed?" Grant gestured on his belly button.
"Actually, it's exposed here." I gestured to his feet.
"Andre, you mean, you mean naked!? Oh, God Maria!" Grant shouted like he was taking drugs.
But my next sentence made him deflate.
"But the key part was not revealed, I'm not a fool." I smiled.
Grant shook his head: "Then you are too unrighteous." He restrained his slut just now and said to me seriously: "Andre, with me and Hays here, your movie is basically fine. But, but today there was an accident."
"What, what accident?!" Looking at his regretful expression, my heart suddenly became depressed.
Grant whispered to me: "Didn't some people in the Code Execution Bureau last week? Two new people were added, which is very difficult to do. I'm afraid your movie will be in trouble with them."
"Aren't there only two people? The Code Execution Bureau has more than 20, and there are more than two of them. Is it necessary to worry so much?" I don't understand.
Grant smacked his lips: "Andre, these two people are not easy to deal with. One is Sister Sando who has a certain influence in the five western states and even the entire American religious community. The other is Donald, the famous conservative member of the Republican Party, is a perfect match. He is as conservative as a medieval person, but he is still an inciteer of eloquence. As soon as they came in, they used God and social responsibility to win over half of the people in the Code Execution Bureau. Hayes and I were both tall. Last time in a movie by Warner Brothers, the male and female protagonists just held them and kissed on the bed. They said that the camera was evil, and then they mobilized everyone to cut it."
I shivered: "Grant, my movie is not just about holding and kissing!"
Grant hugged my shoulder: "I know, how could I not know your movie? Don't worry, I don't care about other people's movies. Hayes and I must support your movies. Why don't we still have the other half of the people in the Codex Execution Bureau? In any case, you are invincible. The rest is to use your mouth to incite those conservatives to rebel." Grant said, pushing me into Hayes's office.
Chapter completed!
