360 Chapter 359 Accountant (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
It's another day.
Nolan got up from the bed early in the morning, cleaned up and started to work.
He is a very rational director.
The producers who have worked with him are very impressed that he does not use funds indiscriminately because of his rational planning.
He has always considered the work he will shoot in a comprehensive manner.
So many people call him an ”accountant”.
He also really likes to concentrate on one thing for a certain period of time.
In the future, ”Empire” magazine asked a very interesting question, and then found a group of Hollywood directors to ask questions. The magazine probably felt that the director’s job had an ambiguous connection with arithmetic, and wanted to know if it was the director’s mathematical calculation. The abilities are outstanding.
As a result, many directors' answers slapped the magazine in the face, all of them like to disassociate themselves from the numbers.
George Clooney said, my math is very bad.
Spielberg also said that when I was in school, I always got a D in mathematics.
Li Zheng also replied that compared to accounting, filming is really a piece of cake.
Only Nolan answered this question seriously.
He said that in the process of making a movie, the planning of the filming and even the expenditure of the budget requires you to be sensitive to numbers. Otherwise, you will find that the shooting budget will easily disappear in the shooting process. In, and your movie has not been finished according to the regulations.Well, the master here is Cameron, he always doesn't have enough budget.
If anyone has counted Nolan’s director’s career investment ratio return, he will find that he is definitely not an adventurous person.
His shooting is very purposeful and full of calculation results. From ”Follow” to ”Dunkirk” of later generations, his investment budget and total box office can be brought into a relatively safe formula, smoothly answering the safety s answer.
From him, there is no news of a fiasco at the box office.
Even if he is successful, the film crew is happy to allocate a lot of money, and he rarely exceeds his budget.
for example.
After the Batman trilogy, Paramount asked him to film ”Interstellar”, and after the filming, he saved a large budget for Paramount.
Obviously, he doesn't like doing things outside of the plan, and he is not the kind of self-conscious film director who cries with investors about insufficient funds and wants to shoot freely.
It’s okay to make a movie according to your own heart, but after finishing a work, you leave without paying attention to the market and making no compromises. Not only does it prevent the capital from making money, but it also makes people lose money.This is certainly not a qualified director.
How to coordinate everything between creators, audiences, and investors also requires calculation.
He is like a commercial artist, selling the most suitable paintings and reaping the most appropriate results.
Just like he always likes to wear a very formal suit.
Someone asked him why he always dressed up like this.
He said, I am used to wearing uniforms, so matching is suitable, convenient and fast.
It is probably this kind of thinking that makes him like to arrange the figures and data of the works properly.
Probably, he will never become a businessman director who can exchange a huge box office for a very small cost; nor is he an artist who makes his investors lose money.
In between the two, he said, “I don’t know if others have the same experience as me, but for me, I paid for myself when I was following. When it comes to spending other people’s money to make a movie, I only learned one thing, control. It’s like learning to swim. It doesn’t matter whether the water is two feet or two hundred feet deep. The key is whether you swim ashore or drown. .”
This is based on the balance between the market and creation, and when the investors are satisfied, they pursue their own creative ideas.
So even if he is thinking about the scenes of the script, he is used to the coherence of the scenes.
In a small room in summer, the windows are open, letting in light.
The sun today is not as big as yesterday, but it is still warm.
”call......”
He drew a draft and classified it according to the scene.
Before I knew it, there was already a thick pile.
