Chapter 913 I love Natasha

“What is Duke Rosenberg’s production company as a striking, popular director and producer?”

Sitting in the reception lounge of the Duke Studio, Gao Fangfang couldn't help but think of this problem. She just reversed the jet lag and couldn't wait to contact Warner Bros., and then this visit and interview.

Although Gao Fangfang is from the national TV station on the other side, he is a smart person. He knows that this is America, and his identity and the TV station behind him are not good. Even if he waits for a while, he is still full of patience and curiosity.

After all, she was visiting the Duke Studio and interviewing Duke Rosenberg, the world's top director.

The famous Hollywood director has the qualifications and capital to make any media and journalists. Even though Gao Fangfang knew very well, Warner Greater China promoted this interview more to use the power of his TV station to promote and promote the Star Wars: The Force Awakening.

The door of the lounge was suddenly knocked, and then a tall brown woman pushed the door and walked in, stretched out her hand with a smile, "Hello, Miss Gao, I am Duke's assistant Tinafei."

Although the other party claimed to be just an assistant, Gao Fangfang stood up immediately and shook her hand hard on her reaching, "Hello, Tina, can I call you that?"

Gao Fangfang once studied in Los Angeles, otherwise he would not have received this interview task. He also knew something about Hollywood and did enough homework before coming. If he really treated this tall and beautiful woman as an assistant, then there must be something wrong with her head.

She knew the position of this woman named Tinafe in Duke Rosenberg's entire group. It can be said that Duke Rosenberg's great achievements directly made his assistant a top power figure in Hollywood.

Tinafei slightly distanced the two sides, "Next I will take Miss Gao to visit the Duke Studio."

Although the Duke Studio has long been acquired by Time Warner, it still retains all the traces of Duke, and many important measures are often handed over to Duke for decision-making.

"Thanks."

Gao Fangfang said politely, followed Tinafei, walked out of the lounge with his cameraman.

She knew very well how could a director of Duke Rosenberg, who could serve as a tour guide for a reporter? The sincerity and importance that the person who came here had shown.

And Gao Fangfang also knows that now less than half a year has passed since the release date of Star Wars: The Force Awakens North America and the world, director Duke Rosenberg must be working hard to get the post-production of every minute of the busy film.

Films like Star Wars: The Force Awakening must be filled with a lot of special effects shots, and there will be a lot of detailed work to do at the narrative level.

While passing by an open office, Gao Fangfang saw Duke Rosenberg, the director was discussing work with several people, and seemed quite busy.

Gao Fangfang took a few more glances. She didn't feel any tension from Duke Rosenberg. He and his current partner Charles Rowan were explaining something to some people.

"What is Duke Rosenberg a striking, popular director and producer like that?"

As the visit and the cameraman took pictures, Gao Fangfang had a rough impression.

Many similar Hollywood production companies are located in single-family villas or office buildings near studios, but "Duke Studio" is not. It is located in an indescribable, lonely building near Burbank. The Warner Building is a few blocks away.

Perhaps this was done to facilitate contact with Warner Bros. Perhaps Duke Rosenberg, who was young, had liked to joke and prank the exterior wall of the building, said "National Typewriter Company", a company that was fictional and did not exist at all.

Walking inside this film company, Gao Fangfang could see things related to Duke Rosenberg everywhere. On the long corridor walls, there were various posters, including an old American football game flyer with photos of Duke Rosenberg printed on it.

“This is a game from Duke High School.”

Tinafe, who accompanied her, gave a few comments at the right time, "In this game, Duke sent out the first sixty-yard touchdown in the history of Mountain Middle School. This is also one of the things Duke remembers most when he was in high school."

Gao Fangfang knew that Duke Rosenberg had an American football team and couldn't help but ask, "Is he very proficient in American football?"

Hearing this, Tinafei couldn't help but shrugging. "It's okay in the amateur level, compared with professional players."

She couldn't help but shake her head.

Seeing Tinafei shaking her head, Gao Fangfang also understood and stopped asking questions. He continued to watch the poster on the corridor.

The corridor leading to the conference room is a poster of life and death signed by Keanu Reeves, a poster of life and death signed by Nicholas Cage, a poster of Saving the Private Ryan signed by Tom Hanks, a poster of Chicago signed by Naomi Watts, a poster of the Matrix signed by Charlize Theron, a poster of Hundred Thousands of Urgents signed by Gerald Butler and a poster of the Lord of the Rings signed by Vigo Motson.

It is simply a collection of Duke Rosenberg's works.

Through the long corridor, Gao Fangfang followed Tinafei into the newly renovated review hall. This place was specially responsible for reviewing the delivered scripts. In the center of the review hall, a giant magnified poster hung. It was a famous Marvel movie character Natasha Normanov hand-painted on the homework book by a child. Next to it, he wrote in tender handwriting: "I love Natasha, she is beautiful and intelligent."

Tinafei explained again, "The author of this painting is Duke's goddaughter Sure Cruise."

Gao Fangfang nodded. The little girl named Suri Cruise is obviously the daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

"I want to ask for a question."

Obviously, Gao Fangfang was not very interested in this painting, but instead stared at the employees who were flipping through the scripts in the review hall. "How should a typical Hollywood company like Duke Studio review scripts? Or, when a project arrives at a film and television company, what should the review process be more appropriate and efficient, so that it will not miss a good script?"

This is a very cumbersome question to answer. Tinafei couldn't explain it too much. After thinking about it, she gave some very general answers.

"The editorial department's strict control must be to consider reducing the company's investment risks in terms of motivation," Tinafei said simply. "They try to evaluate and review scripts from the perspective and mentality of the audience, including the selection of subject matter, the quality of lines, the quality of the picture, the novelty of the story, etc. The editorial department must be more professional, more attentive and responsible than the employees of other departments of the company."

Tinafei answered this question. As a veteran in this industry, she knew very well that even if she did what she said just now, and implemented such strict methods and systems, could she really select excellent scripts and projects? It is still very difficult.

Although the people who solicit scripts want to leave a better story, the results after the primary election are basically all dead.

In most projects in Hollywood, few scripts actually collected evolved into them. The possibility of such scripts being submitted to the movies is very low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are storming the sand.

Then, Tinafei took Gao Fangfang into the exhibition hall of the Duke Studio. The shelves in the hall were filled with souvenirs and models related to Duke's previous movies and TV works.

No matter where Gao Fangfang's eyes fell, he could see one or two interesting small decorations. Other surprises continued to appear during the visit. For example, she found a beeswax hair removal machine with a 1ogo that was the size of a palm-sized "Neo". The note next to it also stated that this was used by Keanu Reeves when he starred in the Dark Empire.

The Duke Studio is not very large. Gao Fangfang simply calculated that there were about a hundred people. However, what made her curious most was that the company hired a group of full-time handicraftsmen. Their job was not only to print interesting themed T-shirts with machines, but also to make various props through 3D printing or hand-made production.

Tinafei told her that this can help them get what they want in the creative stage and use it to decide whether the idea is feasible.

To further illustrate his point, Tinafe walked to the cabinet and took out two rope guns used in Batman. One was printed in the company and cost only $3. However, after using this as a model, it made various adjustments to it, and finally made a second one with resin and metal, which is the prop that was actually used in the film, costing about $80.

Gao Fangfangxian has many editing rooms here and a 6O small cinema with the most advanced technology.

“Although it’s used here less often now.”

Looking at the empty cinema, Tinafei couldn't help but think of her busy time and said, "Duke attaches importance to constantly correcting problems during the production process, which reflects his enthusiasm for making movies since childhood, and uses all available resources to achieve results."

Following Tinafei around the entire Duke's studio, Gao Fangfang and the photographer arrived at the initial reception lounge again, and an assistant brought coffee and black tea in time.

After the assistant left, Tinafe looked at the watch and said, "Wait a moment, Duke's work should be almost done, I'll go and take a look."

Gao Fangfang immediately cheered up all his energy and prepared for this exclusive interview.
