My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 562 The $180 Small Budget Movie
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
The combination of Jewish bald man, slutty LV face and Chinese handsome guy sat in the corner of the cafe.

Three cups of coffee are steaming.

"SEX is the appearance, and the video tape is the carrier, but lies are the core of the whole drama."

Director Wu stirred the coffee cup unhurriedly, the dark brown coffee swirled into water swirls, and looked intently at the two irrelevant people in front of him.

"The relationship between the characters and the story line shown in the short film are a bit cumbersome, and more shots should be placed on the main characters. The overall structure can be expanded and adapted according to the story of the short film, and the details can be supplemented.

For movies with realistic themes, the details are often the most worthy of refinement in the movie. "

John Wu's voice was very steady, as persuasive as a life mentor.

"I specifically asked for your music video for the heavy metal rock band 'Kiss'. I saw your talent for image creation, but it was not enough."

Saying that, the waiter asked for paper and pen.

"For this movie, I hope that you can think from the perspective of family and social ethics and sexual psychology. Don't be afraid to try, but you must also remain rational."

Steven Soderbergh's expression kept changing.

The three words 'caring for the family, social ethics and sexual psychology' flashed across his mind, tearing through the darkness in an instant, making him realize suddenly.

He was able to embark on the road of video creation. First of all, he must be grateful to his father. The old Soderbergh is the dean of the School of Education at Louisiana State University and he likes movies very much.Soderbergh's influence also influenced his future influence style.

His style is changeable, but he still maintains the analysis of social issues from the perspective of the middle class, which has also formed his critical film and television style that is calm, respectable, restrained, and intellectually beneficial.

His changeability is different from that of the Coen Brothers, Wachowski Sisters or Quentin's distinctive and distinctive audio-visual language. He is calm and introverted but extremely changeable in narrative and style.

Take a good example.

Watching Quentin's movies, you can feel the strong personal imprint he swayed at the first glance. The iconic personal label rushed out of the screen and pointed his nose to tell you: This kind of bully is Quentin!

But Soderbergh's films are vastly different. "Kafka," "The Uncompromising," "The English Sailor" are all unique.Of course, compared to Quentin's story innovation, his stories are always not much new.

In contrast, Wu Xiaozu is a creator with a very iconic personal style.

Although the image style is also changeable, the self-style that is full of it is indeed expanding, extending, and precipitating, and thus constantly sublimating.However, to a certain extent, Wu Xiaozu is also breaking self-cognition and audience cognition time and time again.

It's hard!
It's really tough.

Sao Zu may be a bad person, but he is superior to many people when it comes to film creation.

He also always knew his place.

"Director John, thank you for telling me this. I seem to see a clear film path in front of me. I just need to step forward... I really know what I want to do now." Steven Soderbergh sincerely thanks.

Looking at the "One Punch Man" Steven, a god, bald Soderbergh in front of him, Wu Xiaozu smiled faintly.

I just hope Soderbergh can really see the road under his feet.

In the previous life, the result of the other party's jumping into the air was to fall into the mortal world, and it was only a few years later that he really stood up.

But even in the most difficult time and space, Soderbergh is also a big boss in the independent film circle!
The objective lens of overlapping time and space has indeed influenced many film creators.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Nicholas Dachanglian hesitated to speak, Wu Xiaozu knew his heart well, but ignored him.

"I'll contact Harvey to help you put together the crew and he'll be the production manager for the film. I'll be the producer and direct the film myself. You have until November to write the script. After that I'll be on the crew , to prepare for the shoot together with you.

I think you can participate in the scene selection and casting work involved.This is more convenient for your post-shooting. " Wu Xiaozu said.

"Yes, sir." Steven Soderbergh couldn't hide his excitement.

"By the way, this Nicholas..." Wu Xiaozu glanced at the other party.

"Cage, Nicolas Cage!" Brother Face added.

"Nicolas Cage is the actor I recommend to you. Of course, the final decision lies in the performance of the audition. If it doesn't meet—"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Nicholas Cage, "I can only say sorry."

Steven Soderbergh's complexion improved a lot.He didn't want to force someone in without filming.

"..."

Nicolas Cage was also silent for a while, raised his head, looked at Xiaozu Wu seriously, and suddenly smiled, "I really believe that you are not for that surname. You have indeed made the most suitable deal!"

Hehe~ Guess what?

Wu Xiaozu looked calm.The last person who was so confident was Liang Xiaokou!
Regarding the subject matter of "SEX, Lies, and Video Tapes", Wu Xiaozu intends to adopt a critical realism style, and the whole movie uses time and space lenses to present the interpretation of this proposition.

This is not a small challenge for Wu Xiaozu.

Yes ~
Wu Xiaozu is going to infiltrate into filming, because this theme is a good project that is well integrated into American society.

Such a theme is actually destined to not have a large investment scale for the film.

The cost of $180 million includes production and post-production.

This is definitely a rare opportunity for a new director, but for Wu Xiaozu, it is indeed a small cost.Nowadays, Hollywood movies generally have entered the tens of millions of dollars.

Movies with this theme are also suitable for taking the film festival route.

However, it is still unknown whether it will win the award.For a film to win an award, it depends not only on the quality of the film, but also on the preferences of the current judges.

"Don't think I'll let you go through the back door~" Wearing a plaid shirt, the well-mannered Steven Soderbergh frowned and looked at the hippie-looking Nicolas Cage, "I won't open the back door!"

"NO! I won't go through the back door. That's not my character. I'll make you treat me differently! I like to use my own efforts to open your eyes until you are satisfied!" Nicolas Cage met his gaze, Be firm.

The eyes of the two collided, thunder and lightning flashed!

Looking at the state of the two of them, I wonder if they have read a story about young cowboys Jack and Nennis written by the rotten girl Annie Proulx in western Wyoming.

I suspect you two are driving, but I have no proof!Slightly slightly ~~~~
Wu Xiaozu also breathed a sigh of relief when the drama "SEX, Lies, and Videotape" was confirmed.

Leaving their contact information, they returned to Santa Barbara.

　two things.First, a few more chapters of the novel have been demolished, and the first two chapters have also been revised, so I will be more careful. I will find time to start revising the chapters that were previously demolished, but it may not be possible to solve them.Second, lament the innovation and creation of Goryeo movies.It has to be said that Bong Joon-ho deserved to be selected in Cannes for four consecutive years for Goryeo films, and the nine judges voted unanimously.I am looking forward to this "Parasite" more than last year's "Stolen Family".The collaboration between Bong Joon Ho and Song Kang Ho is my favorite combination!For example, the "Memories of Murder" and "Han River Monster" that the two collaborated on~
