Mark is an activist. Now he can be called someone with a gun. He immediately started to work. Ruby is a photography major and Hank is a producer major. After graduation, they couldn't find an ideal job and began to study graduate school. Their ability is still very strong. They help mark make a TV series, make a production plan, find a venue and look for actors, Custom made all kinds of props, sets and costumes.

Hank bragged directly, "as long as you have money, you can get the plane and cannon."

It took only five days to prepare for the original film and only 18 days to shoot. All the actors had no rehearsal. The chainsaw 1 invested $1.2 million, the North American box office was $55 million and the global box office was $120 million. Mark was also ready to do so, so everything was carried out efficiently and at a high speed.

Gordon is starred by David Lee, John plays the jigsaw, Tony plays the black police officer TEP, black plays the female police officer, Mason plays the dead police officer Stephen. As for Amanda and Adam, Hank recommended two actors who were completely unexpected by mark, Heath Ledger plays Adam and Johnson Scarlett plays Amanda.

Mark said, "our budget is 1.2 million to 1.5 million. Do you think I can afford them?"

His first reaction was to win the Oscar nomination for best supporting actor with the popularity of Brokeback Mountain, and then to win the Oscar for best supporting actor with the dark knight; As for the world-famous sexy beauty, black widow and widowed sister, can't you win 20 million dollars? Of course, she's Mark's favorite, but mark won't admit to having kissed her photo.

Hank said, "I promise the budget will not exceed 1.5 million."

Mark said, "heath ledger is a famous actor."

Hank said, "heath is a talented actor with outstanding acting skills. His first performance opportunity was a low-cost film called Blackstone in 1997. In 1999, he starred in two films, two hands and ten things I hate you, which basically enabled him to gain a foothold in Hollywood, At the same time, it brought him the opportunity to Starr in the film Patriot with Mel Gibson. Heath starred in the film Jihad knight one year ago. The popularity of the film also made him a new generation of youth idol in Hollywood. In 2002, he starred in the big production film four feathers, but the box office crashed. This year, he starred in the sinner and the Kelly party, All these films are on the street. His film career is gradually from the peak to the bottom. Heath is facing the situation of strike out. Do you think he dares to speak? Two hundred thousand, no more. "

Mark was overjoyed, patted his thigh and said, "kill you!"

Hank was startled. Mark said happily, "I mean, it's a deal!"

In the mark version of the chainsaw, the director is no longer James Wen and the screenwriter is no longer ray Warner. Are these two Jia still going to college in Australia? Naturally, it's impossible to invite ray Warner to play Adam and be replaced by Heath Ledger. Mark didn't bother to audition and signed directly.

Hank said, "I'll contact his agent right away."

Mark said, "where's Johnson Scarlett? What did you do to impress the literary girl? Her career is on the rise? "

Johnson child star was born, and her works have been continuous and excellent. Last year, the horse whisperer made her famous and won the nickname of literary and artistic girl.

When studying the script with hank, mark vaguely revealed that he intended to make the chainsaw into a series, in which Amanda was the key role. Otherwise, with so few scenes, she was less than Gordon's wife. Just find an actor to play.

Hank said, "I recommend her because of her good appearance and acting skills. We know her in the science fiction film crew of octopus. Johnson's nickname of literary girl will not be called in vain. She has high requirements for the script and likes some challenging roles. As far as I know, she has just finished Sophia Coppola's lost Tokyo and is in a rest period, I believe if the price is appropriate, it can impress her. My plan is to work for five days and pay 200000 yuan. I believe it can impress her agent. "

Mark said, "what do you think of the actress Johnson?"

Hank said, "in 1996, Scarlett played a little girl who lost her parents in the film Manny and Luo, and won the nomination for best actress of the" Independent Spirit Award "that year. In 1997, Johnson, under the age of 13, played a little girl who lost her parents in Manny sisters, and her performance was highly praised, She was nominated for the best actress in the American Independent Spirit Award. In 1998, she was favored by the great director Robert Redford and asked her to play the daughter of the heroine Christine Scott Thomas, a girl who lost a leg, in her new film the horse whisperer. Although the film has mixed reputation, Scarlett's performance has been widely praised and won the "box office bomb Award" She was nominated for best supporting actress and won many titles of "star of hope". In 2000, Scarlett starred in ghost world, American Rhapsody and other films one after another, most of which were independently produced. In 2001, she was selected by the Cohen brothers to play "little girl with piano sound" in "the absent man". As a beautiful girl, Hollywood has always noticed her acting skills rather than her appearance, which is very rare. "

Mark said, "I'll give you the task of persuading her to join."

Hank said, "0k!" As a producer, Hank has been depressed for many years and has a fire in his heart. Now he has the power. Although he is only the producer of a small Chengyu work and everyone is a grass-roots team, he still regards him as a platform to realize his ideals and realize the value of life. He is fully prepared to do a big job. He and Ruby have done everything except creation, They spontaneously worked late into the night every day and appeared in good spirits the next morning.

Sophia is a man with a certain literary accomplishment. She likes reading and literature. She is full of praise for Mark's this man from earth and twilight, but she doesn't think much of the chainsaw. Mark designs those creepy plots in the film. In the film, every victim must face a terrible choice, Some people have to go through the sharp barbed wire covered with flesh and blood, others have to cut off other people's heads to protect themselves, etc. to make up these plots, they must have more imagination and even abnormal psychology than the pervert in the film.

In addition to violence and blood, Mark's abnormal murderer is also different. He is not only a simple abnormal with extremely distorted psychology. His actions are not only driven by cruelty and metamorphosis, but also for moral reasons. He hopes to let the victims recognize the value of life in this cruel way, but all this is not Sophia's dish, She didn't like it and tried to get mark to stop making the work. She also hinted that if there was not enough money, she could get the loan, but mark couldn't listen.

So Sophia and Keira rarely appear in the garage this time. She doesn't want her children to touch these terrible and bloody things so early.

As soon as they got the money, mark signed a formal contract with the actors and paid half of the film remuneration. In particular, mark was happy that Hank's successful rahis ledger and Johnson Scarlett joined the company. Although this exceeded the original budget by more than 300000, from 1.2 million to 1.5 million, Mark felt that it was worth it. Both of them were high-value and good acting people, It belongs to a very high-quality actor.

"The thrill of the chainsaw" is a small-cost independent film with small investment, fast preparation and short production cycle. There is no Startup Ceremony, no press conference, media meeting, rented venues and settings. The set props Division will immediately enter the set. As soon as the actors arrive, they will open up immediately. Oh! It's shooting! Even the actors didn't rehearse.

Of course, mark will not die. Like many art film directors, he throws away the script and tells the actors a general story. How to act and how to read the lines is the matter of the actors. This is called improvisation and maximizing the potential of the actors.

Mark gave the play to each actor, and then told them to act as they wrote the script. If you don't understand, you can ask me.

Their studio was set in a waste warehouse. The set artist began to set up and arrange relevant scenes, set notes, soundtrack, props, clothing, makeup, lighting, recording, art design and logistics chores. These people were recruited by Hank. With the actors, the whole crew had more than 40 people and spent more than 1 million, which was different from the grass-roots team of this man from the earth, It's a bit formal. They have a formal set this time. The stars have a formal dressing room, lounge and canteen. They provide lunch every day without occupying the house and manpower of the lively family as last time.

However, compared with the regular crew, it also belongs to the Caotai team. The whole crew has nothing of its own. The venues and equipment are rented. Mercenaries are invited for editing and recording. The actors and crew members sign a one-month contract. The shortest is Johnson Scarlett. There is only one Friday, 200000 film pay, an average of 40000 per day, The second is heath ledger, who killed 180000 in half a month. Hank just killed 180000 from 200000 by eloquence. Mark's real subordinates are Hank and ruby. However, this is a typical practice of many independent films. They can raise funds and attract people to make films. This is quite good. It's impossible to expect to have their own shooting and production team, It's already a formal film company.

Mark, they spent a week making preparations and started shooting on time next Monday. For large investment and large-scale production, it was too hasty and insufficient preparation. For independent films, this is very normal. Most independent films are made when they have money and stop work when they have no money. It is normal to shoot a film several times.

The difference is that mark has made a rigorous production plan, and everything must be carried out according to the plan. The plan was formulated by Hank, but mark has no objection, because without the plan, he was blind and didn't know where to start.
