Chương 23: Shooting Progress
After sending John Hughes away, Ron returned to his office to review the progress of the filming of "Pretty Women", and to check whether the project's budget was being spent where it should be.
Through the conversation just now, Ron has reached a preliminary cooperation intention with John Hughes, and Hughes will send him the script as soon as it is written.
In the afternoon, when the crew of "Pretty Woman" was about to finish work, Ron stopped what he was doing and hurried to the set venue of the crew.
Because the interior scene of "Pretty Woman" is about to be completed in the next two days, the crew will have to go to the vicinity of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles to shoot the exterior part of the film.
So taking advantage of this time, Ron and Gary made an appointment to go to the editing room this afternoon to take a look at the previous shots.
In this way, even if there are any flaws in the shooting material, there is still time to adjust and find actors to make up shots.
Otherwise, if the problem is discovered when the crew members are all out on location, or when the film has been closed for post-production, it will undoubtedly become a lot more troublesome to try to save it at that time.
After arriving at the scene, Ron discovered that the atmosphere on the set seemed to be a little serious, and he could still see a few strange men in uniforms walking around.
When Ron was found approaching, one of the strangers in uniform approached him subconsciously. It seemed that he wanted to stop Ron. Fortunately, a staff member next to him had found Ron and led him in in the set.
"Mark, who are they?"
Looking at the nervous-looking men, Ron was very puzzled, and the bulging thing on the side of their waists, if Ron was not mistaken, should be a gun.
After all, he has had an extraordinary interest in this thing since he was a child and has been in contact with it, so Ron is still very familiar with some guns.
"No, look at the precious set of jewelry around Vivian's neck. The crew spent a lot of money to rent it. They were sent by the jeweler to supervise the whole process 24 hours a day to protect the jewelry from damages and losses."
Mark, the executive producer of "Pretty Woman", pointed at Julia Roberts, who was performing under the camera in the center of the scene, and motioned Ron to take a good look at the expensive jewelry around her neck.
"Then, Mark, have you negotiated a step-by-step advertising placement agreement with the jeweler according to the final box office of the film?"
Ron, who felt a little fleshy as he saw the dazzling jewels all over Julia's body asked back to Mark.
"Oh, of course, after all, they don't think our film can reach this number at the final box office, so if the final box office of "Pretty Woman" can reach the number you said before, I think we should be able to get a big advertising fee from them. "
However, the price of negotiating this implantation agreement is that some of the discounts and concessions that we could have enjoyed on jewelry leasing are now gone, and we have to spend a lot more money on it."
Mark reported truthfully to Ron.
"Well, I think we'll get more back after the movie is released."
He patted Mark on the shoulder and continued to watch the performances in the field.
At the same time, Ron also noticed Gary who was behind the camera. Ron tried to memorize some special techniques used in the camera's position scheduling.
Soon, because the actors were in surprisingly good condition today, the last set of shots on the shooting plan was filmed in advance, but Gary did not announce that today's shooting task would be stopped.
Taking advantage of the fact that several leading actors are in a hot state, he passed the scenes of the next two days that were relatively difficult and could just be shot under the current setting several times in advance, and the effect was very gratifying.
Until today's filming was completely over, Ron watched Gary put down the megaphone in his hand and left the monitor in front of him.
Ron, who quietly watched Gary's shooting technique for a long time, got up to meet him.
"Gary, I have to say that you controlled the filming schedule very well. The filming of the interior of "Pretty Woman" should be completed 3-5 days earlier than the original schedule."
Ron Some praised.
"Oh, it's nothing, this is what I should do, Ron, I have to say that Miss Julia and Keanu you recommended are very good actors, and the rest of the crew has done their job well.
" With the joint efforts of everyone, our work efficiency can be so high, so all this is achieved with the joint efforts of all the crew members."
And the confidence when sitting behind the monitor and picking up the guide tube, the expression during shooting is different from the expression Gary shows in private and he is a very humble person.
"But you played a crucial role in it. It was you who connected everyone's enthusiasm for work, which improved the operating efficiency of the crew so much."
Ron still affirmed Gary's role.
Then, after Gary packed up the film that was shot today, he made two copies, one to the editing room and one to the bank vault.
Ron and Gary sat together in front of the professional machine in the editing room and motioned to the professional editor hired by the crew from Warner to show them the footage they had accumulated during the shooting one by one.
Due to the memory of the future, Ron paid great attention to the storage and security measures of the film used by the crew on the day by day basis after the daily shooting task was completed.
Under Ron's repeated emphasis, for all the ongoing projects of Clover Pictures, an extra copy of the negatives left after shooting every day will be sent to the bank's vault by professional delivery personnel for storage.
Even when others questioned whether doing so would add unnecessary extra production costs, Ron kept insisting on doing it and set hard and fast rules.
After a cursory glance at Gary's previously shot samples, Ron had to marvel at Gary's consistent stability and professionalism.
Most of the shots were shot at a very high level, and the rest only had some minor flaws, which could be compensated for by post-production of the film.
Ron watched it completely, and it was almost difficult to find a few shots that were so serious that they needed to be re-shot because of the mistakes.
After watching the demo, Mark and Gary found Ron together and offered to talk to Ron, hoping that Ron could solve some of the problems that the crew encountered.
