atypical hollywood life

Besides, they are shooting a B-grade film, not a romantic film or a literary film, so there is no need to pay attention to aesthetic science even in the direction of blood flow.To put it bluntly, this film is to be refreshing!So splashing a lot of plasma is the right way!

For this reason, Quentin even made a budget of more than 500 gallons (about 1893 liters), which is still the minimum budget value. Considering that there may be NG phenomena, this number is likely to continue to increase in the end.From this point, we can see this guy's ambition, he is bound to make this izakaya battle scene a classic in the history of B-movies!

Margaret thought for a while and felt that what Quentin said was so reasonable that she couldn't refute it.Sure enough, the plasma tablet is her true love?

It's a pity that it is really difficult to define the answer to this question, so Margaret can only continue filming with doubts.

But she really enjoys shooting this movie, especially when cutting people, even the prop knife makes her satisfied.The feeling of constantly hacking, hacking, killing, killing, killing, killing, killing is simply amazing!At this time, Margaret was very grateful to Uma Thurman, who resigned from the film, for giving her such a good opportunity.

It's not just Margaret herself who thinks the filming is enjoyable, even Quentin, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein think it's really right for Margaret to act in this film.

Yes, these two big fat guys finally took time out of their busy schedules to visit China.The point is that it doesn't matter if you don't come. Quentin is such a prodigal. Judging from his meticulous filming method and progress, the original investment of 4200 million yuan is simply unstoppable!It was aimed at 7000 million. The Weinstein brothers were almost scared to death when they heard the report from executive producer Lawrence Bender. This thing can't be done like this.You must know that the contract for Margaret to participate in this film is the salary plus dividends, or the contract that the film salary is converted into investment, so as to ensure that most of the funds are spent on the film itself, compressing enough the cost of.

If the production cost really hits 7000 million, what profit is there?This is a B-movie! B grade movie! B grade movie!Say important things three times!Can you expect a B-grade plasma film with an R rating to surpass [-] million at the global box office like "The Matrix"?

So the Weinstein brothers, who were so scared by Quentin that they were about to lose sleep, ignored the post-production issues and release of "Cold Mountain", and immediately booked a flight to Beijing at the nearest time.After arriving, he rushed into the hotel where the crew was located without even getting jet lag, and dragged Quentin out of his sleep to ask about specific matters.

And Quentin, Quentin was having a blast at the nightclub last night and was catching up on sleep!The occasion where the three of them meet is simply intoxicatingly beautiful!

"Harvey, you need to know that this place is different from the United States. You have to understand this. Often the schedule stipulates three days of action scenes, and the martial arts instructors in Hong Kong will take several weeks to complete..." Quentin evaded indiscriminately with responsibility.

Harvey sneered, just pretend!Who doesn't know who has cooperated for so many years?Besides, if I haven't bought the overseas distribution rights of Hong Kong movies, don't I understand their production process?Everyone knows that Hong Kong filmmakers are famous for their super high efficiency. In the heyday of Hong Kong films, a movie could be produced in a week. Now you are telling me that they can only complete the three-day action on the schedule in a few weeks. play, are you fucking kidding me?

Bob Weinstein next to him was silent.Although he usually keeps a low profile, he doesn't often appear in front of the media.But this doesn't mean that he doesn't know much about movies. As a producer, he usually operates everything behind the scenes, and he even knows more about some things than Harvey.

At this time, he had roughly guessed the truth of the matter. On the one hand, it was because the production team who followed from China had never made action movies, and their understanding of this aspect was not deep enough, and the schedule design was somewhat unreasonable.But the more important thing is that Quentin has committed his own old mistakes again, and strives for excellence in movies.And he did make a lot of money for Miramax, and the relationship between everyone is usually good. This film has Margaret Jane as a billboard, so the unscrupulous start can be done according to his own heart.

He pressed his forehead, feeling that the sequelae caused by the jet lag were getting worse.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, give us a number, if it works, continue, if it doesn't work, you can tighten your spending and go back to the United States." Bob didn't even bother to reason with this guy.

Maybe halfway through the talk, he might be persuaded by him.This film has been filmed to this point, and it must continue to be filmed. Now I want to come up with a solution to stop the loss in time.

"Um, don't you actually think the movie is a little too long?" Quentin suppressed his drowsiness and said a word.

"So?" Harvey asked, frowning.

I didn’t feel this way when I was reading the script. Before coming here, Lawrence had roughly reported the progress of the film, so the two people felt that Quentin was too refined, because the number of films he used was indeed too much.Is this guy starting to stuff things into movies again?Harvey's eyes widened in anger. He knew that this guy would not be calm when he encountered Hong Kong movies. He didn't expect that even a high-quality imitation version would have problems!

Obviously, Harvey's temper is quite violent, and now he is immersed in the mood of wanting to beat Quentin up, and he doesn't think of anything else at all.But Bob, the old fox who has always been scheming, has vaguely grasped Quentin's thoughts.

"What do you mean?" he asked tentatively.

"Of course, cut the movie into two parts, so there will be no problems?" Quentin gave an answer with a characteristic ruffian smile.

Well, it's very Weinstein!Harvey thought at the same time as Bob.

The two of them did a lot of random editing, and they always made a profit from it.Now Quentin has proposed another way of thinking, one film is cut into two, so that even if the production cost reaches 6000 million, each film is only 3000 million.And this kind of B-grade movie has always had a fixed audience, coupled with the appeal of Quentin and Margaret themselves, it is not a problem to recover the cost, and maybe they can make a small profit.

Well, they are as stingy as the Weinstein brothers, and they can even delay for several years to give Matt Damon and Ben Affleck the film share, and in the end they just carry a sack and pour the money on them, of course it will not be unlimited Indulge Quentin.Not even if he's Miramax's favorite! 6000 million is the bottom line, and there is no further retreat!

"In addition, I think you should look at part of the filming that I have completed now. You really underestimate the potential of this movie." Quentin shrugged and said after finishing the two brothers.

This film is now much better than he expected, completely exceeding the highest standard he expected.It can be said that he has never been so grateful for finding Margaret as the heroine.This great actress turned this plasma B-movie into a work of art. The murderous act seems to be a very ordinary thing in her interpretation of Beatrice, with a very calm and breezy attitude. Feel.Like, like, like that ancient assassin!Be calm and go ahead!Quentin thought.

She can even make the action of slashing people extremely elegant and smooth. It seems that she has done this action thousands of times. When watching the camera, people have a strange sense of satisfaction, and the whole person sublimates with her actions Feel.

Well, it’s also how Harvey and Bob feel now.

I don’t know why, watching Margaret jumping and stretching like dancing on the screen, swinging a knife casually, and then someone spurted blood and fell to the ground, Harvey felt like the pores of his whole body were stretched, just like a young When I was hiding in the dormitory with my classmates and smoking marijuana, it seemed that everything in the world had become different.

Bob’s feeling was deeper. The scene of Margaret jumping up and down, freely harvesting life made him feel like he had taken a stimulant. He couldn’t restrain his trembling fingers at all. Want to grab something.

Unfortunately, this feeling was suddenly interrupted, because the pictures on the screen in the small projection room had come to an end and could not continue.

"God!" Harvey gasped heavily.

"I can't believe it, that's Margaret Jane? That Margaret Jane with a sweet smile?" He shouted in disbelief.

Even in "The Matrix", she also showed her cold and cool side. It can only be said that she played beautifully, stunning is amazing, but that's all.But in the short shots of "Kill Bill", Margaret Jane showed an amazing and strange charm.

Harvey racked his brains to search for adjectives in his stomach.

"Powerful, stern, elegant, and of course cruel." Bob said what his brother wanted to say.

"That's right, that's the kind of natural cruelty. It seems that all of this is just a game for her. She doesn't care about it at all..." Harvey struggled.

"But it's not right. Her hatred for Bill is still very obvious. To those people and things that hinder her from killing Bill, she is more like a kind of contempt. It seems that her enemy is only from the beginning to the end. Bill is alone. The rest are just cannon fodder!" Harvey finally sorted out the mess of emotions and expressed his thoughts.

"To be precise, she is more like a real dark figure, an elegant demon from hell. But the child made her a human, but after losing the child, she fell even deeper." Quentin made a summary sexual words.

Objectively speaking, Margaret and Uma are completely different types, and the bride she shows is of course completely different from Uma in terms of feeling.Quentin can't compare the two people's pros and cons for this movie, but some things are clear at a glance.Compared with Uma's slight sense of fragility, Margaret is tougher and sharper, like a peerless weapon, but it has been sheathed before.The distance between the two is about the same as the distance between man and God.And she didn't have the stiff feeling of Uma. As a tall woman, Uma's skeleton was almost a circle bigger than Margaret's, so she felt too tough.In addition, she really doesn't know kung fu, and it must be much worse when using a knife or fighting. Quentin even hired two doubles for her.

But Margaret is different. She is really like a light bird when shooting action scenes. It is effortless to do backflips on the spot, and even the posture of swinging a knife is so graceful and free. , It's like an ancient Chinese painter painting, it's incomparably freehand and natural, and even the expression is full of joy.Not to mention that after hanging Wia, with this method, she can do more movements and be more beautiful.

Sometimes when Quentin patted, he felt that Margaret had an evil beauty, and seemed to be clamoring to destroy everything all the time, so he unconsciously gave her a lot of close-ups of her eyes.
