Hollywood Road

Chapter 98: There Are Thieves

Ask for a recommendation ticket! There are two updates today, and it will be on the shelves after 12 noon tomorrow!

In the last few days of filming, Murphy had already made Bill Rossis busy contacting a suitable post-production studio. The one he used last time would take three weeks to use, but what he wanted to seize the most was time. Now five It's the end of the month, post-production will take time, and finding a suitable distributor will also take time. If we wait and waste some time with the distributor, I'm afraid that even if the film enters theaters, it will be close to September.

Even if September passes, the film market will have a considerable period of buffer time to recover. For films like "Chain Saw", the buffer time is bound to be longer.

On a street near Santa Monica in West Hollywood, Murphy and Jody Griffith, accompanied by Bill Rossis, walked into a small five-story building and took the elevator directly to the top floor , After finding the person in charge, under his leadership, they circled around the fifth floor.

This is a post-production studio owned by an advertising company and is often rented out to film companies to make films.

"How is it?" Bill Rosses asked Murphy. Murphy looked at the Da Vinci color palette in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

I have seen two production studios in other places before, and they are not very satisfactory. The main point is the lack of a Da Vinci color palette.

Quite a few of Murphy's shots were shot in sufficient light, but the requirements for the finished film were dark tones. The Da Vinci color palette is an indispensable equipment for post-production.

The Da Vinci color correction system has been hailed as the standard of post-production since its inception. The film crews who use Da Vinci color correction are all over the world, and they can be seen in many movies, commercials, documentaries, TV dramas and music TV productions. Da Vinci's grading figure, and its finished effect is unmatched by other grading systems.

Correspondingly, the price of this system is also expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars, and it has no other purpose other than color correction. Even in Hollywood with deep pockets, some post-production studios Not necessarily equipped with a Da Vinci palette.

In addition, this studio is also equipped with an all-in-one software and hardware processing machine produced by Autodesk, which can be specially used to process the image synthesis, modification and fine cutting of 35MM film, although it is far less equipped with high-intelligence digital technology software in the future. The blade server is advanced, but in post-production in this era, it is definitely synonymous with efficiency.

Now digital technology has just risen, and film post-production is not as comprehensive as it will be ten years later.

In the last room of this studio, Murphy also saw a relatively rare telecine device in this era, which can convert the content shot on film into a computer digital signal that is easy to store.

Unfortunately, this device is of little use to him.

At least until now, Murphy has no idea of ​​using digital technology, and film is his first choice.

"When will Stanton Studios have a post-production room like this?"

After the two parties negotiated the one-month rental fee, Murphy felt a little emotional when he took the elevator downstairs, "Instead of looking for a rental after every shooting, it depends on other people's time."

"For the time being, you don't have to think about it!" Jody Griffith patted his arm, raised his finger and pointed upstairs, "The equipment in this studio is not top-notch in the industry, but if it is to be established, at least And a million dollars."

Murphy shrugged and said nothing more. Don't think about such things in the short term.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Bill Rosses walked out first, and when he left the building, he handed over the lease contract in his hand to Murphy and reminded, "If the lease cannot be completed within the lease time, be sure to call me in advance. "

"Don't worry." Murphy took the contract and stuffed it into the briefcase, "I will never forget this kind of thing."

The rental fee for just one month is as high as $50,000,

For Murphy now, anything related to money is a big deal.

The three walked to their respective cars. Murphy was about to open the door when Bill Rosses got out of his car.

"Murphy!" He waved towards this side.

Murphy closed the opened car door and looked back at him, "Is there anything else?"

Bill Rossis took two steps forward and came to the side of the Ford car, "I helped Kerry complete the withdrawal procedures yesterday."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded.

He knew about it, and Carey Mulligan called as soon as he finished the formalities.

"Bill..." Murphy recalled the phone call yesterday, and said, "I told Kerry, and she agreed, you'd better help her connect with a suitable acting school."

This age group is often a critical period for an actor. If you are willing to work hard and seize opportunities, you will avoid many detours in the future.

"I'm already in touch." Bill Rossis hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Kerry moved out of Julian Fellowes' house because of dropping out of school."

Although I don't know what method Carey Mulligan used to force his parents and Julian Fellowes to agree to drop out of school, but thinking about it, the trouble was relatively stiff, and it would not be surprising if he moved out.

Murphy didn't think much about it. Many people in this country would move out of their homes after they turned sixteen.

"Where is she going to live?" he asked Bill Rossis.

"This..." Bill Ross swallowed back the words, waved his hands and was about to leave, and when he walked back, he left a sentence, "You should ask Kerry yourself."

Murphy scratched his head, took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call. Jody Griffith, who was in front of him, just turned around and waved to him, "I'll go first."

"Goodbye." He also waved.

After opening the car door, Murphy got into the car, threw the phone on the passenger seat, and planned to go back and make another call. Since Carey Mulligan moved out, he was not in a hurry.

It is not far from the Santa Monica Green Zone, and it is more convenient to come and go during post-production. Murphy drove back to the Stanton studio, parked the car on the side of the road, and walked to the iron gate of Huayi with a briefcase. The whole person immediately raised his vigilance.

After the filming was completed, he gave everyone including the studio a holiday, and when he left to see the post-production studio, he even locked the iron gate with his own hands.

Now the iron gate is not only open, but the chain lock is still on the ground casually, obviously someone broke in.

Murphy picked up the phone and subconsciously wanted to call 911, but thinking of what he had done before, he put the phone away again, and walked lightly to the door of the house.

The door of the house was ajar. When Murphy walked in, he could vaguely hear a sound from the other side of the stairs. It was the entrance to the storage room...

"Is there a thief?"

He walked into the living room slowly and looked around. There was a steel pipe left over from making props in a corner. He grabbed one and prepared to go over to see who was so bold to break into his house to steal things.
