[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

Chapter 62 Preparations for A Song of Ice and Fire

Claire, who coveted Nina very much, immediately discovered a big problem, the crew was actually very poor.

She was surprised because HBO had thrown hundreds of millions of dollars.

But it's not enough, not enough!

After some investigation, she found that it was because "Game of Thrones" was a huge gold-swallowing machine!The money is not enough when it is subdivided into various expenses.

Before that, Claire never thought that making a fantasy drama would cost so much money.To be precise, it is "according to her standards".The sci-fi movie she shot last time was filled with top-notch special effects, and Paramount was not short of money at all, giving as much as they said, rich and powerful, silly and sweet, with great freedom.The audience watching various top fighting scenes screamed again and again.

But HBO is not, the money is what they can get out of it.

Claire thought about it and felt that it was all George Martin's fault!What kind of dragon and what kind of ghost, but she is a person who pursues perfection, so she must have to shoot tricks.

Every part of the novel is filled with a lot of fighting scenes. It is refreshing to read in the novel, and the writing is full of blood. All in all, it is hearty, but it is not the same thing when it is filmed. It is very difficult to shoot, but it is not impossible. The method is to invest money in special effects, use advanced scenery, and complicated storyboards can solve the problem.

The atmosphere of swords, swords, and knights facing each other can only be seen in slow motion and with a sufficient number of storyboards.If all of them were filmed like this, it would be subverting the American drama model.Claire originally thought so, because she wanted to make a big deal after clapping her hands.According to her current director ability, it is possible to make every frame as elegant as a movie.

But the gold swallowing machine is not called for nothing.

HBO's budget is placed there, and it won't exceed much. She can't continue filming according to her original idea.

"If it is done according to this, this job is really not easy to take over. People with discerning eyes may not be able to see that this is a difficult job that may not be easy to please. No wonder I am so relaxed. Few people compete with me. I only have a part of fame. It’s better for my people to submit their resumes.” Claire thought for a while, then put it behind her, and thought confidently: “But fortunately, I was mentally prepared, and I don’t want to shoot scenes without challenges. Let me keep piling up videos with experience, it will do me no more good."

Few people choose such a "practice path" that challenges the limit, but she did it, and she obviously got a lot of benefits.

From Frida to Ghost in the Shell.Her work never loses its aura.

Reiki is not uncommon.There are many people who were born and blessed by God, but it is difficult to maintain their aura. There is no inspiration, no innovation, and what they do becomes the product of past skills and experience. The circle of Hollywood is not good. These are the top-notch people in the literary circle, and their sense of smell is very sensitive.

Many people love to watch her movies. Although they don't know anything about "reiki", they can vaguely feel it.They watched her movie, although they couldn't tell why, but they all felt that "it's so good that I can't describe it, I know it after watching it, it's so good that I can't describe it!"

Claire puts all her effort into every movie, and every movie has a steady stream of "vitality".It's no accident that every movie hits big.

"It's not impossible to make a good shot, it's just not as perfect as I wanted at the beginning."

Literary drama is the most important thing in "A Song of Ice and Fire". The whole book's bone marrow is in the literary drama, and no matter how much you save, you can't save money on the literary drama.

It is certain to reduce the number of fighting scenes, but she does not want to reduce the quality.Nondescript fighting will become a failure and a joke.All kinds of fantasy creatures still have to pay a lot of money to find special effects companies to do them. How can unreal fantasy creatures attract audiences.

"The reduced martial arts scenes can be replaced by more exciting literary dramas, so that they will divert their attention from martial arts to literary combat." Claire wrote a note: "Martial arts and literary filming."

"But viewers of meaningless literary dramas won't be able to watch it any longer, they'll fall asleep. No, it's on TV now, so they'll definitely switch channels."

She pondered for a while, and then made a decision: "Then make the filming of literary dramas as hearty as martial arts, and tit for tat. For example, in the first episode, the introduction of the members of Stark the Wolf, even if it leads to the main task , but also have to plant enough foreshadowing. For example, everyone is saying that winter is coming. At first glance, they may not care, but the audience will remember this sentence. Until the end, they find that the whole article can be summed up in this sentence. It will be more enjoyable this way.”

She thought about it for a while: "It should make the audience feel as if they have finished watching an episode, and their spines get chills."

Claire turned over another piece of paper, which was filled with words from "A Song of Ice and Fire".

"Seven Gods save me!"

"Seven gods have mercy."

"Winter is coming."

"The night is coming, and there are dangers everywhere"

"The lone wolf dies, but the pack lives."

"A Lannister must pay his debts."

"Everyone is mortal."

"You know nothing, Jon Snow."

"Words are like the wind..."

"Blood and fire come from the same source."

"killer!"

"Guest Rights."

"The Seven Gods are above..."

Claire wrote and painted on the lines: "Every line here has its own deep meaning. This is what George advocated when he wrote the book. It is a tool to implicate the entire epic. I will not change it, and even develop it. To the extreme."

"Let every audience feel the inevitability of the plot, so that some perfectionists don't even want to miss the harbinger of a line of dialogue foreshadowed by the street dealer in the play!"

"Since we have done this, let's do everything we can to make "A Song of Ice and Fire" a brain-burning feast!"

She smiled wickedly: "They'll love it."
