Hollywood Drawing

At the beginning of the post-production work, including John, the production manager, would hardly leave the post-production studio. Even if he had to solve the problem of eating, he would call for pizza and burgers.

The editing work of the film did not go very fast, and the splicing process was repeated over and over again. For this, it may not be possible to finalize many scenes in one day.

The importance of Wayne is revealed at this time. He can always find the most suitable editing point among the messy footage and turn the film in Dawn's hand into the picture conceived in his mind.

It was mid-December, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief at noon. After three rounds of cutting and splicing, what was now presented to them was a 130-minute film.

This is already very close to being completed. We just need to make the final choices. After so many days of busy work, the film is finally close to completion. Although it is not fast, it is worth it.

After several people watched the video, Wayne was the first to speak. "The final comprehensive editing is coming soon. How do you feel about it? Let me know your opinions."

In fact, watching this film now, although it is infinitely close to the finished film, it has not yet added a soundtrack, so the viewing experience is not very good.

"I've seen your last film." Editor Dawn touched his chin, stared at the screen and expressed his thoughts directly. "Compared with the childishness of the scenes in "Happy Death Day", you have made great progress in this film, but the funny scenes still seem a bit immature, and the literary problems are not big.

Compared to the action scenes in the second half, or those large-scale bloody scenes, your command of literary drama and humorous scenes is obviously not good enough. I suggest cutting out more funny scenes and compressing the film time. "

It's always uncomfortable to have someone tell you your shortcomings to your face, but even Wayne himself agrees with the other person's point of view. He is now like a partial child, trying hard to cover up his shortcomings.

"It's pretty good." John said something to comfort him. "At Director Greenberg's age, it is impossible to master all the lens languages. It is enough to amplify the ones he is good at!"

"Thanks, John!"

"You're welcome, I speak from my heart. What you are good at is exquisite plot design, fast shooting speed, and those large-scale bloody shots and action scenes.

And the most rare thing is that the scripts of the films you shoot are all written by yourself, so such scripts are naturally suitable for you to shoot by yourself. As long as you make good use of what you're good at, it won't be too difficult for the film to be successful. You have to know that no director is an all-rounder. Even George Lucas’s Star Wars has been criticized for being weak in storytelling ability! "

What he said is basically correct. Although George Lucas is the father of Star Wars, fans still complain about his inability to tell stories, but that does not affect the greatness of Star Wars and George Lucas.

Every director has his or her own specialty. Even a representative of an era in Hollywood, a director like Spielberg who involves many styles, is no exception.

Successful directors in Hollywood generally have their own unique production style. Senior movie fans can even guess who shot the film when they watch it.

And Wayne is slowly polishing his own style. The completion of each film is a little accumulation of Wayne's own.

Just like Hollywood, which is tolerant of the world, his good study habits have allowed him to never stop honing his directorial abilities.

"Okay, guys, let's do it and reduce some of the funny scenes. We have to complete the production as soon as possible. Warner is still waiting for the film to hold a preview screening for media critics."

"Wait, Wayne." John suddenly stopped him. "You need to edit a trailer first, which will be used for the promotion of the film!"

"Fifteen seconds? No problem!"

John, who was behind several people now, remained silent as always except for necessary work. He was also staring at the picture on the screen. It was the maid played by Metz, who was really laughing and crying at the male protagonist Chris.

The scene gave people a weird and twisted feeling. No matter how many times he saw this scene, it would make John's scalp tingle.

He turned to look at the director who was constantly discussing with the editor. From the first day he joined the team, he felt that this director had great ideas, and his ideas were very special.

Usually the bloody scenes in American horror films, that is, the large amounts of ketchup spurting out, appear as the main method of scaring people.

But this director did not follow this method. Most of the large-scale shots he set up at the end were to vent the previous story, which gave people a very pleasant and refreshing feeling.

He believes that the final film will definitely surprise everyone.

At the end of another busy day at work, Wayne walked out of the Warner Building and got into the car tiredly to go home. After the car started moving, Sergey glanced at the back seat and said:

"Boss, the agent from the car dealership called me. The car they ordered has arrived and asked me when to pick it up."

He was leaning on the back seat with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard the new car he had ordered arrived, he didn't let him open his eyes. "Go and drive it back tomorrow and tell Nina to pay the balance."

After Luke complained about the car problems that day, he asked Sergey to order a new car when he came back. In consideration of the space in the back seat, he wanted to order a Rolls-Royce Phantom series.

But after seeing the pictures of the prototype car, I gave up the idea. The current Phantom is not what he remembered, it looks like a classic car. Finally, on the recommendation of the car dealership, I ordered an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.

This car is very close to what he had in mind. The spacious and comfortable back seat space also allows him to do simple work on the road.

After returning to the manor, he took a shower first, then sat on the balcony on the third floor and relaxed while looking at the garden.

Wayne has his own considerations. This time "Get Out" must achieve an unexpected success for Warner before it is possible for them to fully take him seriously.

Only interests and continuous creation of more interests can make this giant company try every means to tie itself to Warner.

Through a cooperation with 20th Century Fox, Wayne realized the fact that in Hollywood, a negotiation due to serious differences of interests will cause the relationship between the two parties to break down.

The best way to solve these problems is to create huge benefits that satisfy both parties every time, so that both parties are completely tied together because of their interests. This is what he is prepared to do.

"Woof! Woof!"

The two golden retrievers must have been taken out for a walk by Hela just now. They very cleverly pushed them away and ran in after barking twice.

Following the custom on the farm, he got two mats at the foot of his bed for the two little guys to use as their nests.

"I knew it was you who came back!" Halle Berry came in later with a leash in his hand. It seemed that the one walking the dog was not Hela.

"I took them for a walk around Beverly Park, and you would never guess who I saw?"

Looking at the leash in the black beauty's hand, he thought of those little games with Naomi and didn't pay attention to what she said.

"Hey!" Halle Berry was a little dissatisfied when he saw that he was distracted.

"Huh? Who did you see?"

"Tom Cruise! I saw Tom, and it turns out he also lives on this street." When she mentioned this name, her face was full of yearning.

Wayne rubbed the two dogs and turned to look out the window, ignoring her desire to become a big star. "You will also have a chance in the future."

Halle Berry looked at the back of this Gundam and wanted to put the rope in his hand around his neck. He obviously misunderstood what he meant. What he envied was not Tom Cruise. She knew how far she was from that kind of superstar.

What she really envies is the woman next to Tom Cruise. That Australian woman, with the role of Mrs. Cruise, gained countless resources as soon as she entered Hollywood.

Even the agent is the same one as my husband. It was a huge shortcut, and of course she wanted to try it.

From the day she moved into Greenberg Manor, she had fantasized about becoming the hostess here countless times. The most important thing is that Wayne Greenberg is a director. As long as his film can be as successful as his last one, his status in the film industry will be greatly improved.

The success of a film can be a fluke, but continuous success is another matter, so she is not in a hurry. As long as she waits for the film to be released, she can see the quality of the director.

Sometimes when she saw the promotional news about "Get Out", she would think about Naomi Watts, that bitch who only slept with him a few times. She has been able to play major roles twice in a row, so what makes me worse than her?

"Is the post-film work going well?" Halle Berry walked up to him and petted the two dogs.

Wayne looked at Los Angeles in the distance and tried to empty his mind. "It's going very smoothly. The production will be completed soon. We just need to add the final soundtrack."

"Really? So I can see your work right away!"

"Well, in mid-January, Warner will organize a preview screening for media critics. You will go with me then." Wayne could see some of her little thoughts. He had no special feelings for this woman. Everything between them was just trade.

He considers himself to be a decent person. If this black pearl doesn't have any problems, then everything he promised her earlier will be easy to talk about.

The next project he planned actually had a small role suitable for her, which was her luck.

Seeing the leash in the woman's hand, he suddenly asked.

"Harry, do you want to play a game?"

"what game?"

Wayne took her hand and walked into the huge cloakroom. In addition to his clothes, there were also some props left by Naomi in the past few years.

Opening the cabinet that Naomi usually used, he ignored the women's pajamas and pointed at the tight black leather jacket underneath.

"Put it on, yes, and that collar too!"

"Is that so?"

"Don't worry, we can take our time and bring the leash!"
