Capítulo 17: The Problem with Special Effects Production
Keanu Reeves is undoubtedly a very good actor, and after Gary pointed out his problems, he quickly adjusted his form.
In the following days, Keanu and Julia's state became more and more expressive, which in turn stimulated the enthusiasm of the entire cast and crew.
Everyone began to enter a state of active, high-efficiency work, and many shots were passed only at one time, and there was no need to keep ng many times.
After that, Ron, who learned a lot from Gary, stopped going to the studio every day to stare at the shooting of "Pretty Woman", but only occasionally took time to visit.
On the other hand, Mina, although she really wanted to learn something useful from Gary's side, the "Ghost" crew also began to prepare.
So, as an executive producer, she not only has her own work to be responsible for, but Ron also threw a large part of the work that he as a director should be responsible for to Mina, because of that she rarely has time to go to the studio to learn from Gary.
So, Mina feels tired and happy, and Howard Koch is undoubtedly a very good producer.
Because of her relationship with the Warner family, Howard also intends to cultivate and promote Mina, and he taught her a lot of things without reservation.
Although because of Howard's excessive fancy, there are endless things waiting for Mina in the company and the crew every day.
But Mina in this period is like a very hungry sponge, absorbing any knowledge that can become hers at all times, and the speed of her progress even shocked Howard for a time.
Even Ron, although he didn't put a lot of attention on the "Ghost" crew, still learned a lot from Howard.
In particular, Howard's incomparable experience has also benefited Ron a lot, which can help him avoid many unnecessary detours in the future.
"So, Robin, Howard, is this the final version of your revised script?"
In his office, Ron closed the script and handed it to Bruce Joel Robin, who was sitting across from him.
After reading the script submitted to him by Howard and Robin before, Ron made several suggestions to Robin based on his impression of the original film in order to better combine the special effects shots.
After Robin discussed with Howard, one person was responsible for the preparation of the crew and the preparatory work of the film, and the other was responsible for revising the script at home.
Today, they took the newly revised script together and came to let Ron review it.
"Yes, based on the suggestion you made last time, I went back and made some minor adjustments to the script of "Ghost."
Bruce Joel Robin, who was sitting opposite Ron also nodded. .
"Well, at least in my opinion, the script is quite good now, and I can't pick out any obvious flaws for the time being."
"Howard, if there is no problem, speed up the project, preferably before the end of August. Turn it on, so that you can leave enough time to complete the post-production and catch up with next year's summer vacation."
Ron turned his attention and said to Howard next to Robin.
Howard nodded.
"Ok, because you had some doubts about the script before, so many things have been put on hold for the time being, but most of the work is almost done."
"Most of the actors have been finalized, the main character and a few important supporting roles. There have been several rounds, just waiting for you to enter the group to participate in the final round of audition and finalize the final casting, and then let them enter the group to rehearse for a few days in advance, and then you can choose a day to start shooting."
"But..."
On the side, Bruce Joel Robin obviously has some doubts.
"If we rashly put the movie into the summer vacation, the competition will be too fierce, and this will not conflict with the original Warner's release schedule, and will there be friction with Warner's own projects in resource allocation. ."
Robin, who was also a producer for the first time, was obviously not confident enough.
"No, no, no!"
Ron shook his index finger.
"Bruce, first, our film is Warner's project, and Clover Pictures itself has Warner's share, and the "Ghost" project also has Warner's investment in it, so we are making a movie with Warner itself, so you don't have to worry about the announcement, I'll take care of it."
"Second."
Ron sat up straight and adjusted his posture.
"If I remember correctly, I personally made Warner's release plan for a long period of time, and the schedule was also communicated by me and the theater alliance."
"So, it is precisely because of this Warner can squeeze out a release gap, and I will plan to push "Ghost" into next summer's release."
"Well, I hope you made the right decision," Bruce Joel Robin still has some lack of confidence.
"Oh, Bruce, I have to remind you that we are also a big production with a cost of more than 20 million US dollars. You and Howard have already fully proved themselves in their respective fields, and also I am the one who entered North America Top 30 directors last year."
"So, someone else should be afraid of our competition, right?" Compared to Howard and Robin,
Ron, who knew how amazing the movie "Ghosts" was obviously confident.
Then the three discussed some of the problems and dilemmas encountered by the current film project.
The most urgent issue before the three of them at present is undoubtedly finding a reliable special effects production company for "Ghost".
Because some scenes in the film require the use of the most advanced computer effects, the cost of the film is as high as 20 million.
You know, the current era is not the time when the budgets of some big productions in the future will casually cost hundreds of millions.
In Hollywood right now, a movie with a budget of more than $20 million is without a doubt a real blockbuster, even if it's from the Big Seven today.
Because they have not fully integrated with the major media giants, and the ability to resist risks is still limited, there are not many projects that can reach this level every year.
In order for the overall quality of the film to meet his expectations, Howard did not think much about it at all, and his first goal was to find Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, even if the budget was tight for this, it was worth it.
Fortunately, after so many years of business, Howard's connections in Hollywood can be said to be deeply ingrained, and he can even get in touch with George Lucas directly.
Relying on personal connections, Howard succeeded in getting Industrial Light & Magic, which was already full of business, to take his orders, albeit at an extremely high cost.
However, because Industrial Light & Magic's production schedule for this year and next year is already full, the number of people they can draw out to create special effects for "Ghost" is really limited.
According to the feedback from Industrial Light & Magic, if they have enough manpower to push forward the production of "Ghost" at full speed, it will have to wait until after April 1990 at least.
