Chapter 633 'Star Wars' Starts Filming

Someone was enjoying the program produced by Lucas and Spielberg, but at this time, these two people were busy filming on the set and had no time to pay attention to what was going on outside.

"Put something over here!" Lucas directed the crane to place the props.

Catherine was quite satisfied with the script of "Star Wars", so the filming of the film began.

The actors have been ready for a long time, so now, it's time to start filming.

Star Wars will take the form of a trilogy.

Filming is now starting on the first part of the film.

But whenever he thinks about this, the corners of Spielberg's mouth will twitch.

Because when he just went to find Catherine with the script, Catherine actually said: "Why not shoot the trilogy in one go? In this case, the cost calculation will be more convenient, right?"

You probably don’t know how much it costs to make this film, right?!

Only at this time did Spielberg understand why DreamWorks was able to develop so rapidly.

In the beginning, DreamWorks was not that eye-catching, but later on, Hollywood simply failed to control DreamWorks, especially when it came to Catherine.

Although part of Catherine's fortune in the beginning was based on movies, now the film industry is just an added bonus for Catherine. And most importantly, Catherine taught Hollywood how the word "rich and wealthy" is written.

.

It can almost be said that it doesn't care about the cost at all. The investment of nearly 100 million in "Spiritual Reaction" is something that Hollywood today cannot produce.

In fact, DreamWorks is not being compared with Hollywood anymore, but is being compared with European movies - for now, the popularity of European movies is much higher than that of Hollywood.

Compared with the American film era that swept the world in the 1990s, Hollywood as a whole today is not as developed as it was in later generations, and in terms of some concepts, it seems even more backward and outdated.

Moreover, the American film industry has just shaken off its shackles and is only in the take-off stage. In terms of production value, Catherine can easily beat the current Hollywood. However, Spielberg does not know that he himself is also considered by many people.

It is "rich and wealthy".

Harrison Ford, the star of the film, is one of them.

According to Catherine's original intention, she was prepared to invest 120 million at a time for the filming of the film. However, because Spielberg insisted on filming the film step by step, Catherine is currently only working on the first film for "Star Wars".

The Ministry has invested only 50 million US dollars.

When Spielberg and Lucas received the $50 million, they breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, they discovered that the money given was too much, and sometimes they may not be able to hold it. Although it seemed like this,

The budget seems to be a bit larger than it was at the beginning...

At this time, Harrison Ford was chatting with Jane Fonda, one of the heroines.

Just because history has changed a little bit, the character played by Harrison Ford now is not Han Solo, the ship captain in the original film, but Luke Skywalker. As for Jane Fonda, she has replaced him.

Carrie Fisher became the actress who plays Princess Lia.

Although Jane Fonda is 6 years older than Harrison Ford, she looks more youthful and is worthy of the title of "the number one science fiction movie actress". Of course, this title was given when Jane Fonda was nearly 70 years old.

It was only obtained when , and history has also changed.

As for Harrison Ford's original role, it was taken over by Eastwood. Although Eastwood was quite keen on becoming a director during this period, two young people approached him again and again in order to find him for filming.

Once, Eastwood was moved by their sincerity and took over the filming of "Star Wars".

At this time, Harrison Ford was still a newcomer, and the communication between him and Jane Fonda, who had been famous for a long time, was somewhat tense.

"Don't be nervous, Ford." At this time, Lucas came over.

"Oh, yes." Ford looked at the director in front of him, who was about the same age as him, and who hit it off with him and then promoted him to the starring position. He finally breathed a sigh of relief - since Lucas was also a young man.

If you can shoot a film with an investment of 50 million US dollars, why can't you do it yourself?

When Harrison Ford was a boy, he had no interest in acting, nor did he like watching movies. He often liked to be alone. After graduating from high school, he left Chicago and went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study. He was not aggressive in his studies and his grades were not satisfactory.

, married his first wife, Mary Margaret, when he was a junior in college.

Before graduation, he had to drop out because he couldn't hand in his graduation thesis. At this time, he began to have an idea, "Why not try to be an actor?" So in 1964, he brought his wife to Los Angeles.

began his dream of becoming a Hollywood star.

At first, Ford entered a local acting school. Because of his good appearance, he was spotted by a talent scout. He made his debut on the screen in 1966, starring in a small role with only one line in "Cash Fight". After that, he successively appeared in some creditable roles.

He had a dispensable role and remained unknown, but he accumulated a wealth of acting experience during this period. In his spare time, Ford actually worked as a carpenter making props, and earned a lot of money due to his good skills.

Although history has changed, the relationship between Harrison Ford and Lucas seems to have not been affected.

The two were supposed to have met on the set of "American Graffiti" in 1973, but now they met three years earlier.

"If it's ready, we can shoot a special effects shot and use the computer to create it. Although it saves money, it takes more time." At this time, Spielberg came over.

"Okay, we can start at any time." Eastwood came over at this time.

"Huhu" Ford took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down - this was his opportunity and he had to seize it.

To be honest, when he first saw the script of "Star Wars", Ford himself was interested in the identity of the protagonist, but he was not optimistic about it.

In the 1960s, apart from DreamWorks, the most successful space science fiction film was "2001: A Space Odyssey", which set a box office record of 24 million. However, ordinary science fiction films, such as "Planet of the Apes" and other successful science fiction films, generally only had a box office of 24 million.

It’s only about 16 million. So the major Hollywood film companies are not very interested in investing in a space science fiction movie.

Of course, if you include the entire science fiction film industry, it has to be said that throughout the 1960s, science fiction films were the most influential films.

"Wasteland", although this film tells a doomsday story, from another perspective, it should also be regarded as some kind of science fiction story, and such a story has completely ignited the dynamite barrel in the United States. The film

The positive black protagonist in the film attracted a lot of black viewers, but on the other hand, it was also a mockery that attracted hatred from racists - the Ku Klux Klan was particularly violent.

As a result, Catherine, the instigator, had to take refuge in the UK. As for "Red Alert", it happened to catch up with the Cuban Missile Crisis, so it was a good ride.

Some time ago, "Psychic Reaction" shocked the world with its amazing special effects. It was this film that educated those directors on what "science fiction" is.

Maybe some people can't understand the movie? No, that doesn't matter, as long as the picture is shocking and dazzling enough, that's enough...

So when Ford, who was originally not optimistic about the script, learned that the film was produced by "DreamWorks", his attitude immediately changed - he felt quite flattered.

At this time, Lucas also returned to his post, and the two directors were busy directing here.

Historically, the world before the movie "Star Wars" appeared was a world without mobile phones and personal desktop computers, and no one had heard of the term "Internet". Humanity had just begun to enter space, and the world was facing an oil crisis.

. Against such a historical background, the emergence of the "Star Wars" trilogy not only profoundly influenced a series of subsequent science fiction movies, but also had an extremely huge impact on the entire American and world popular culture.

Its appearance marks a change in Hollywood's tendency since the 1970s to mainly shoot films that express complex mental states and political cynicism, and instead to shoot films that are more divorced from reality and pay more attention to special effects, and this has become a dominant trend in the eight

A trend in the world's mainstream commercial films since the 1900s.

But for now, Hollywood has just been liberated from the shackles, and its vitality is constantly emerging, but it is still getting along, because Hollywood has no plans to change - Historically, Hollywood was really in the mid-1970s.

It was only when I couldn't survive anymore that I transformed.

Next to Lucas, a group of people were walking out of the locker room. Lucas looked at them and then smiled with satisfaction.

These people were wearing a space suit. However, what was different from ordinary space suits was that this space suit looked quite tight. In fact, this was a rubber suit that Lucas ordered from Angel Clothing.

When Spielberg saw this scene, he shook his head. He suddenly thought of the previous argument with Lucas.

"It has to be bright and shiny! Although it uses RU gel coat, can't we just say that this is an emerging space material?" Lucas told Spielberg.

"But it's not scientific!" Spielberg argued: "If it's tight, how can you make a space suit? In that vacuum, you don't even know how to die!" At that time, Lucas

He was whistling and looking up at the sky, "Just treat it as special material.

..." His mind returned to the present, and Spielberg shook his head.

"This is unscientific..." he muttered again.
