From Hollywood to King of the World(Fanfiction)

After two days of great fun, Rowan boarded a plane to New York.

The layout on the Internet has been laid out, and it is almost time for the first harvest.

The salary from "Saving Private Ryan" and the income from commercials shot in Italy were all invested in it.

In addition, Rowan also used some other means.

Information can make money, and superpowers can also be turned into money-making abilities in a certain way.

Rowan can use this ability to train ani mals and cultivated a group of animal agents.

He is not pursuing extreme profits or getting rich quickly, he just wants the capital to take over Marvel and build the basic foundation for future planning. These information gaps, plus his imagination and ability, as well as talents such as Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are enough to achieve the expected goals within the year. Whom he found after asking Elizabeth to look for them.

After spending a few days in New York to reinforce and lay out the plan, the vacation given by Spielberg also expired.

Rowan picked up the plane ticket bo oked by the crew and flew to Ireland.

The Omaha Beach scene was already built.

The place is big and the props are of extremely high quality, but... the price-performance ratio is too low.

In fact, it is not necessary to have such a large set, you can just use some techniques to piece it together, just like "Forrest Gump" and other scenes that requires tens of thousands of people, they all use hundreds of people to piece together like building blocks. Props can be made of ready-made World War II goods...

Rowan also knew that Spielberg had saved a lot of money, much more than he had on Zorro.

The venue in Ireland was cheap, and they brought in cheap extras.

The Irish Defence Forces provided 2,500 soldiers from the FCA (Army Reserve) and Slua Muiri (Navy) Reserves.

Assuming one hundred dollars per person per day, filming with more than two thousand people would cost two or three hundred thousand dollars a day, not counting insurance, food and lodging expenses.

After a month of filming, the manpower expenses may exceed 10 million US dollars.

Now the labor costs of more than 2,000 people can be saved, which shows Spielberg's connections and business ideas. He is a true business director.

But you can still save a little more... Maybe it's because he has been chatting with enthusiastic netizen James Wan for a long time, and Rowan seems to be moving towards the ultimate cost-effective trend.

This is also because Rowan has too much energy, so he still has the mind to think about it.

The beach-rushing scenes were enough to exhaust all the actors' energy. The loud-mouthed bald Vin Diesel didn't have the mood to chat and fell asleep directly after filming every day.

Even if they don't have a role, they still have to play a background role. The agreements for minor supporting roles all have provisions in this regard.

Sometimes, they would be asked to act as German soldiers in some long-distance scenes, which is also a common practice of Hollywood crews.

Only Rowan has extraordinary recovery ability. Even after get off work, he is still trying to figure out these things behind the scenes.

For geniuses, every effort is rewarded, and Rowan learned some behind-the-scenes knowledge.

For example, the crew hired twenty or thirty real amputees.

During filming, prosthetic limbs will be used to play the role of soldiers whose limbs have been blown off, which saves the cost of post-production special effects.

You can also use the excuse of "providing jobs for people with disabilities" to seek some benefits.

As for props, special sensors were prepared on the actors' rifles.

These sensors send a signal to a detonator located on the target, and shortly aft er the actor pulls the trigger, the target squib detonates, creating a realistic effect for both the shooter and the target.

Rowan heard that Saving Private Ryan was a collaboration with Industrial Light & Magic, and that most of the bullet hits in the Omaha Beach attack would be achieved digitally in post-production, but the more detailed the special effects, the more expensive it would be.

This kind of explosive tube is very interesting and is a unique stunt prop that can significantly reduce the cost of post-production special effects - the 20,000 bullet explo sive tubes prepared by the crew are expensive, but much cheaper than special effects.

This is the same idea as James Wan, using imagination and stunt props to reduce the cost of special effects production and greatly improve the cost-effectiveness.

The beach landing scene needs to be filmed repeatedly. If you have ever played at the beach, you will know that exercising in the water consumes a lot of physical energy, so some equipment will be reduced in weight. The spare magazines are made of painted wood, which effectively reduces the weight and reduces the burden on the actors during filming.

These are things that Rowan as an actor has access to.

Some of them are from friends he met on The Mask of Zorro besides the actors, and some he heard from Tom Hanks while chatting with him.

For example, Tom Hanks said that the crew decided to shoot the attack on the machine gun nest from the perspective of Cp I. But the hardware on site could not meet the requirements. Spielberg made a special monocular telescope on the spot to meet the needs when the sunlight could not reach the planned coverage area.

Also to meet Spielberg's filming requir ements, the cinematographer set the came ra to 90 degrees and a 45-degree shutter, shortening the time the film was exposed to light to create incredibly sharp images, and used Image Shaker to vibrate the camera to approximate the impact of an explosion.

He told us that he planned to run the film through the developer more than usual when sending it for processing, so that he could achieve the faded effect that Spielberg wanted.

"That's what filmmaking is all about."

Tom Hanks said with a smile: "No matter how well you plan, you will always encounter problems during filming, and you need to find ways to solve them."

"Only by making continuous progress Iike this can our films get better and better. With the support of the market and economic strength, Hollywood can become the world's number one."

"However, the color saturation is reduced by 60%. It's okay on a big screen, but it may be a problem on a TV. Today's TVs are not bright enough and the colors will blur together."

Looking into the future, we also see so me hidden dangers.

As an actor who has already reached t he pinnacle of acting and is transforming into an investor, his perspective can be said to be at the highest point.

Rowan benefited greatly.

Two weeks have passed without even noticing, and it's finally time to film the cool sniper scenes.
