As night fell, the signboard of Moore's Bar had just sounded, and the roar of a huge motor came from far and near, and a fiery red Ferrari sports car drove towards it like lightning, and finally stopped in front of the bar.

The one who got out of the sports car was a young man with brown hair around twenty-five years old. The parking boy at the entrance of the bar obviously knew him very well, so he took the initiative to go over.

"Hi, Cameron." The parking boy offered to extend his hand, "Is it still the old rules?"

The young man named Cameron threw the key over, and stuffed a dollar in it, "I still leave in the old time."

"Don't worry!" Looking at the large-denomination dollar, the parking boy said excitedly, "With enough time, I will have someone wax the car again."

Cameron waved his hand indifferently and walked into the bar door.

The lights in the bar were dim, probably because it was relatively early, the band was preparing, and the deafening heavy metal hadn't sounded yet.

Cameron found a random place to sit down, ordered a bottle of wine, took out a cigarette case and put it on the table, and drank slowly.

A skinny white young man saw him, walked over, and sat directly opposite.

"Xiaoka, is it out of stock again?" The two parties are obviously acquaintances, "I have a good product that just came from Mexico."

"Take one and try it." Cameron snapped his fingers and said boldly, "As long as the product is good enough, money is not a problem."

The thin man took out a cigarette case, pulled out a homemade cigarette, and handed it over.

After Cameron took it, he put it under his nose and smelled it, then stuffed it into his mouth, and took out the lighter.

"Boss, it's him."

In a corner not far from Cameron, a short man wearing glasses gestured to Cameron with his eyes, and said respectfully to the person opposite, "He comes here every few days, and there are no less than five cars. The luxury sports car is also very generous, it should come from a rich family."

"Hmm." The man nodded.

He is a thick and thick black man, the most conspicuous is a shiny bald head.

The bald black man glanced at Cameron, making sure he was looking for the wrong person. He looked away and asked the dwarf, "Are you sure you can't find your head?"

"Absolutely can't find out!" The dwarf vowed, "In fact, I didn't do much."

He looked at the thin man opposite Cameron, "This guy is a big fish. Those bastards who got off the assembly line have long wanted to drag him into the water. You can definitely get a lot of money from him."

The black man nodded lightly again. Compared to them, those who are on the Internet terminal are basically low-level punks, and they have no principles in doing things. They dare to do anything for money, and they rarely think about it. as a result of.

That's okay, some things are more convenient to do.

Cameron took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and closed his eyes in enjoyment, as if completely intoxicated by this ecstatic feeling.

"How is it?" The thin man asked in a timely manner.

"Good stuff!" Cameron gave a thumbs up without opening his eyes, "That's right, it's much better than the last batch! How much do you have? I want them all!"

"You want these?" The skinny man suddenly changed his tone, "This is what pussies suck, I have better ones, do you want it?"

Cameron opened his eyes and looked at the thin man. His brain, paralyzed by excitement, gradually realized what the thin man was talking about.

The thin man kept shaking his head, and casually threw the cigarette pack on the table in front of Cameron, "You don't just smoke this kind of stuff for girls, do you?"

"I..." Although Cameron was a little dizzy, he hadn't completely lost his mind. He knew that touching those things was completely different from smoking marijuana. "I can't touch those things, otherwise my grandpa..."

"Xiaoka." The skinny man showed disdain, "How old are you? It also depends on your grandpa's face? Go back and ask your grandpa, how many people in that circle don't smoke? Did he smoke when he was young?" ?”

No need to ask, Cameron also knows what the answer is.

Pointing to the cigarette case on the table, the thin man said, "That's a completely different feeling, a hundred times stronger than this one."

Cameron was a little moved, but still hesitating.

"Just go and have a look, taste it, try it, if it's not suitable..." The skinny man shrugged, "Just don't touch it in the future, and no one can force you, right?"

After twitching his nose a few times, the nerve in Cameron's dizzy brain had already started to beat.

Like all addicts at the beginning, Cameron said with a little hesitation, "Then... well, I'll go and have a look."

The thin man stood up and walked towards a private room in the bar, and Cameron followed closely.

"Boss, the fish is hooked."

In the corner, the dwarf said to the bald black man, "The atmosphere inside affects people very much. Unless he is determined, he will definitely suck under the influence of the environment."

The bald black man nodded in satisfaction.

The dwarf continued, "A marijuana-addicted person like Cameron has no willpower at all."

The black man touched his bald head habitually, stood up and said, "Keep an eye on this matter, and notify me immediately if there is any new situation."

"Don't worry, boss." The dwarf put away his playful look, "I will put aside other things during this time and just focus on this guy."

The night became darker, and in a temporary parking lot outside the bar, the red Ferrari had been quietly parked in a parking space, never moving, as if the owner had completely disappeared.

The popularity of "Iron Man" made Warner Bros. and DC Comics feel the pressure. They took the initiative to contact CAA. The target of this negotiation was not Murphy, but Gal Gadot.

Due to Gal Gadot's outstanding performance in "Man of Steel", he attracted countless fans, which made the film more attractive, and at the same time brought difficulties to Warner Bros. and DC Comics, because they did not sign a long-term contract. Let Gal Gadot continue to play Diana Prinz in the subsequent "Wonder Woman" independent film, and a new round of negotiations with CAA will begin.

Murphy didn't intervene in this matter, it depends on Gal Gadot's own meaning.

Except for occasionally caring about the progress of Ross, the rest of his energy is basically devoted to the remaining post-production work of "Inglourious Basterds".

Because it was not until the fine editing that Murphy discovered that there was a problem with the shooting in the screening room during the explosion scene in the theater. It would take time and effort to summon the actors to reshoot. Adjust this section by overlapping with the lens.

Murphy first re-edited the scene with Jody Griffith.

"I need the confined space of the projection room to create a stage-like dramatic scene, and even see the light and shadow effect of the place where the German soldiers fell similar to the stage chasing light."

After the editing was completed, Murphy made an emphatic explanation to the colorist, "The moment Sosanna looked back at the soldier, the soft side light shone on her golden hair, and there was an instant feeling of the Virgin Mary possessed , the Jewish beauty who was still shooting and killing people a second ago, looked softly at the dead soldier."

It's going to be Margot Robbie's most beautiful moment in the film.

Murphy then handed over the edited clips to colorists for color rendering.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, excellent colorists are rare high-end talents. The post-production of a movie is an important factor to increase the film feel of the picture. The most direct modification to the picture is the color grading of the movie.

The work in this area is mainly to change the exposure, saturation, contrast, and hue of the material, color a part of the picture, remove unnecessary noise, and highlight what needs to be expressed, which is equivalent to the "touch-up makeup" of the movie. division".

One of the difficulties in film color grading is to balance quality and efficiency, because color grading is the final link in post-production, and the front editing and special effects departments have almost squandered the time that should be squandered. The time left for the colorist is basically The above are not very enough.

For any Hollywood movie, it is conservatively estimated that there are 1500+ shots. After one month of adjustment, an average of 50 high-quality shots are completed every day. If you encounter a movie with a lot of special effects shots or a movie with a particularly tight schedule, then work The intensity is even higher.

This is why colorists are expensive.

Still, Murphy allowed the colorist plenty of time, and the sequence wasn't too much.

A week later, he and Jody Griffith saw the results and were quite pleased with the female colorist, Susan Charles.

Added to the Murphy and Jody Griffith clips, this segment plays to stunning effect.

Under the interlaced light and shadow of the projection room, and the black and white images of the play within the play inserted from time to time, Sosanna's red dress was particularly moving, with bloody, seductive, and vengeful red. The instantly withered flowers, mixed with the dust of blood, are like the black feathers flying all over the sky at the end of "Dream Traveler".

And the soldier in white uniform said one second that he couldn't bear to watch the killing scene, and the next second because he was provoked, he took "the three hundred corpses lying in Italy to prove that I am not the one you should reject" shameless bastard.

"For the evil character with the pure impulsiveness and conceit of a young man, and at the same time he never forgets to make up for a shot, white is more suitable than the black and green of a high-ranking Nazi official, and it is more in line with his identity as the 'male protagonist' of the night."

Murphy made some conceptual explanations for Gal Gadot who was quietly staying beside him, "The contrast of red and white colors makes the whole picture have a romantic beauty, even though he shows two extremely young lives. Death. The brown-red texture of the wooden floor, the flickering old-fashioned projector, the red and white young body, the whole picture presents the texture of a classical oil painting."

Compared with the fast and sharp editing used in other violent scenes, the rhythm of this section is relatively slow. Murphy used 7 shots to express Sushanna's expression. Slow motion is not only a matter of speed or rhythm, but also a way of observation.
