Chatty Hollywood

It should be said that Charlotte's plan is indeed feasible.

In fact, after the green screen and special effects technology matured in later generations, some of the special effects of the movie were indeed completed before the official shooting.

——At that time, the entire performance of the actors was often moved to computer-generated special effects scenes, instead of like now, where special effects are mostly inserted into segments of the actors' performances.

After all, neither Pandora nor Superman’s home planet Krypton are scenery that can be photographed normally on Earth.

At that time, it was the simplest and cheapest solution to construct the scene entirely with computer special effects and then insert the actors' performances under green screen photography.

However, most of the special effects scenes used in this approach will not be affected by the actors' performance actions.

As for the things that actors hold in their hands, no matter how cool they are, they generally still need to be physical.

——Just like Thor’s hammer, even if it is actually just a plastic product, he always needs to hold it in his hand.

Charlotte's current plan is to use the scenes captured by the dream camera to create some special effects related to the actors' movements in advance. Then during the real shooting, we try to fine-tune the actors' movements to match the special effects produced.

——This can be said to be a method that can only be achieved with the help of a dream camera.

Moreover, this requires that after the real special effects are completed, Charlotte, as the director, can perfectly integrate them with the actors' performances.

To a certain extent, this is similar to the AR (augmented reality) technology that will emerge in later generations.

If Charlotte didn't have the magic to visually integrate the two sets of scenes through dreams, he actually wouldn't dare to make such an attempt.

But now...

All in all, Spectre Studios is back to try out some new technology.

As for the construction of the dream world, Charlotte does not plan to do it alone this time.

First of all, in preparation for the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Spectre Studio had already made a digital model of Hogwarts.

Although relatively simple, it can serve as the basis for Charlotte to build Hogwarts in her dream.

And the Hogwarts he constructed in his dream will become the basis for the Hogwarts constructed in the studio and computer special effects - that is, the Hogwarts that is finally presented to the audience.

——This was exactly one of his original purposes in preparing a digital version of Hogwarts.

——Although he did not expect that he was the first to use this set of modeling in the movie.

Secondly, in the dream world, although the young actors can play themselves, other adult actors are still insufficient.

So, Charlotte specifically asked Charlize, who seemed bored recently, for help.

The girl is already familiar with the dream world, and she accompanied Charlotte to deceive Harvey Weinstein in the form of a female ghost. It can be said that she is the best candidate to replace other adult actors in the dream.

"So, are you planning to let me be the Girl with a Thousand Faces?"

Charlize asked him, smiling, as she lay in bed after exercise that night.

"Roughly the same!"

Charlotte caressed the girl's skin - he felt that as he learned the spell, the girl's skin seemed to become more delicate and smooth, which was an unexpected surprise.

"However, you may not be able to handle it alone, so I will come with you."

"That's okay!"

Charlize entangled Charlotte's chest hair with her fingers and gently drew circles on his chest,

"But how is the remuneration calculated this time?"

"this……"

If an ordinary person asked this question in a normal situation, Charlotte might have to think about it. However, Charlize's current actions and tone made him understand that the girl was a drunkard and her intention was not to drink -

"Sally, what do you want?"

"..."

Charlize whispered in Charlotte's ear, and Charlotte smiled,

"I'm happy to pay this kind of salary."

After saying that, his body slid down...

**********

It should be said that by now, Charlize's heart knot has been almost resolved by Charlotte.

Although she still didn't dare to aim when shooting, she at least had the courage to pull the trigger.

When getting along with Charlotte, there is almost no problem - not only can she unlock many postures, but she even enjoys it sometimes.

Of course, Charlotte could also feel that to a certain extent, the girl was compensating him.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, the girl's psychological disorder cannot be regarded as completely cured.

——After all, the shadow area of ​​childhood is quite large.

Charlotte knew that Charlize wanted to use the filming of the biopic of Eileen Wuornos to completely vent the suppressed dark emotions in her heart.

This is indeed a feasible approach.

But Charlotte felt that relying on this method alone seemed not safe.

Therefore, while he was preparing for "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", he did not forget the post-production work for "Silver Linings Playbook".

——Originally, one of his purposes in making this love movie was to take the opportunity to develop a relationship with his girlfriend!

Facts have also proved that this is indeed effective.

Although it was a bit hard during the filming, after the filming, the chemistry between the two has obviously reached a higher level.

So in this case, Charlotte naturally wants to complete the movie as soon as possible.

However, because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was being prepared at the same time, the post-production speed of "Silver Linings Playbook" was not as fast as Charlotte expected -

In particular, although this movie does not have any gorgeous special effects, it has very high requirements for editing and lensing, and some color purity also requires post-processing.

——After all, in a romantic comedy, beautiful images are very important.

What's more, Charlotte also wants to use this movie to broaden the types of movies she can shoot, and also to compete for Oscars.

This naturally requires sufficient precision in post-production.

They even reshot some scenes.

Fortunately, the male and female protagonists of this movie are Charlotte and Charlize. They are both currently in London, so it is actually very easy to reshoot the scenes between the two.

This is exactly the opposite of reshoots for ordinary movies.

You know, when a movie is generally being shot for reshoots during post-production, the main actors have often gone to other crews to report due to scheduling issues.

At this time, reshoots will be very troublesome, and just coordinating the actors' time will take a lot of effort.

Therefore, many directors will simply use staff members as stand-ins.

This results in that the content of reshoots is often some distant shots or background shots.

——It is actually very common that the heroine running with her back to us in the distance is actually a man wearing a long wig.

"You're right. When I was filming the scene where Leo and Kate escaped from the ship, I used stand-ins for a few reshoots."

James Cameron smiled. ()
