Chapter 815 This is called art! When Chen Qi and his friends arrived at the door of the studio, they were still making arrangements in a mess. Thomas saw them first and greeted warmly: "Chen! Welcome to visit the set, who are these?" “All of them are top scholars and are very interested in your films.” "Welcome, please come in!" Several old men from the Zhu family walked in excitedly, and suddenly felt a dark and uncomfortable in front of them. After a few seconds, he looked forward and said in a low voice: "My God!" I saw that scene: Smoke was shrouded in smoke, and there were more than a dozen ferocious figures of Arhats on both sides, and eight extremely exaggerated dragon pillars stood. The palace maids and eunuchs stood with their hands in strange robes and clothes. Cixi's face was as white as paper, with red lips lit up, and half-lying in a thick mountain-like clothes, with a pot next to her. Several people stepped forward and took a look. There was a turtle that was not dead inside... "This is this!"
Zhu Jiaqing widened his eyes and did not swear words in front of so many people. He just said, "Didn't he mean to make a documentary movie? What information is this for reference?" "The whole magical Yiluan Palace!" "This is too wrong. The statue of the Arhat, the Dragon Pillar... are these made up of several elements, right? And why should there be a pot?" Seeing that a few people were anxious, Bettorucci came over to explain: "We have referenced a lot of information, but artistic creation requires imagination. This is the scene that Puyi saw. He was young at that time, and in his eyes..." Barabala said a lot, and finally said, "This is called art!" "I'll show you..." Wang Shixiang had a good temper, and Zhu Jiaqing quickly stopped him, after all, he was a foreign guest. This is actually the style of "Fu Manchu", which is smoky and full of magical colors. And this scene is the art guide of "The Last Emperor" that finds several elements from different temples and integrates them together. Zhu Jiaqing was relatively polite and still argued with Bettorucci in language theory. Chen Qi quietly walked aside, hugged a young translator's neck, and asked, "Who are you insurance specialists?" "Brother Qi, I can't say it!" "I'll keep it secret for you!" "I can't say it really! Thomas is very taboo about this." "I'll give you one last chance!" "That bald person wearing glasses is called James!" Chen Qi looked at it and found the target. It was a white man in his forties. He stood aside in a low-key manner as if he was not concerned about his own affairs, but he was holding a pen and paper in his hand and recorded it from time to time. "Hi, James!" "Mr. Chen!" James was stunned, and he didn't expect to say hello to him. Chen Qi smiled and said, "You must be bored when you supervise the crew every day. If you have time to drink a few drinks? The wine in Beijing is very good." "Thank you for your kindness, I'm responsible for being inconvenient to go out."
"I know I know! "The Last Emperor" was filmed with a bank loan, and the insurance company sent you here." "you?" "This is not a secret, you can find out after a little inquiry. Speaking of which, your job is really hard to do. These European art directors are very willful, their minds are filled with wonderful ideas, and overspending is common." "That's right, right!" When James heard this, he thought he had really inquired and said resonantly: "Who said it was not? 25 million US dollars was a huge sum of money. They sold the pre-authorized copyright of the movie to dozens of countries before our company was willing to give it to him. Save." "That's very risky. It's too hard for you to stay here for half a year. If you have time, you'll really have a drink and talk again!" Chen Qi said briefly that he quickly left James' side. He found another staff member of Beijing Film Studio, continued to hug the other person's neck, and said, "I'll give you a camera, you can take pictures of all these things secretly for me." "What are you?" "Just like this in front of us, we can see something awkward. How much subsidy is given to you by the film company, I will give you five times!" "Done!" The staff nodded fiercely, the Italians were considered birds! This person built a building for Beijing Film Studio! Just now, the Zhu family had finished arguing, and each of them had bad expressions and forced themselves to endure it. "Xiao Chen, let's have a walk! Go back, it's so bad!" "Yo, what's wrong? This is?" "Go out and say it out!" Several people left the studio, and Wang Shixiang was the most angry and said, "Look at what is the arrangement? It's like a sulli-like underworld, and you have to take it abroad? Foreigners look at it, hoo! We Chinese all follow us Like a ghost! It's OK!" "We made suggestions but he didn't listen. He said that if he was anxious, he would be art!" "We may not understand the art of film, but we still have some understanding of all aspects of the Qing Dynasty. He is obviously wrong!" No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "Anyway, I can't understand this Italian! Unlucky, I won't come next time!" "Don't let it go!" Chen Qi persuaded him gently and fanned the flames: "This movie is a long shooting process. The finished product has not come out, and no one knows what story he tells? Maybe there is a deep meaning behind it? Then we are wrongly blamed others. In my opinion, it is convenient to have a car anyway, so it is better to come a few more times and observe more scenes than to watch. This is also objective and fair, do you think it is? ” “…” The old men pondered for a moment and said, "There is some truth. I really don't know what it is before the movie was finished." "I'm not here, don't count me." "I have free time in this period. Xiao Chen, aren't you afraid of trouble. So do you need a car to pick it up and drop it off?" "Oh, what's this matter? It's my honor to see a few more people. Italy's capital is full of glory!"
The reason why no one jumped out of cursing in "The Last Emperor" is because of this point. Everyone just saw it and didn't know what was going on in this movie. After the filming, it was screened in China, which attracted a lot of criticism. But that would be useless. "ha!" Chen Qi sent the old gentlemen away and couldn't help but feel happy. The key is that insurance specialist James. The United States has a very complete film insurance system, which is so detailed that it is outrageous. From actors, directors to films, costumes and props, to delays, overspending, and even air crashes, obesity, drowning, burning, etc., you can take out insurance. For example, in Tomb Raider, the film company invested huge insurance for Angelina Julie, and if she injured a finger, the insurance company would have to pay $130 million in compensation. The insurance company sent people to supervise the entire process, opposing her to herself, using a stand-in or computer stunts. Another female star insured her slender waist, and if she adds 4 inches, she will have to pay the claim. Insurance companies send people to help them maintain their figure, reminding them to pay attention to dieting, exercise, etc. The same is true for "The Last Emperor". The $25 million is loaned from five banks. The bank requires the film company to take insurance. If the loan cannot be paid, the insurance company will pay it back. Insurance companies are not stupid either, why should you take your order? So the film company first sold the pre-authorization of the movie, and the insurance company was insured with this. And James is responsible for supervising the crew to prevent them from overspending and not completing the movie. Chen Qi felt that this matter was inadvertently moving towards absurd and funny direction - he liked to watch fun the most. (End of this chapter)
