This director is very reliable

Chapter 807 The first hand Chapter 37 Listen to me, don't go!

What secrets can there be in the industry?
The "Mulan" project started with a plan, and Zhao Shan knew it!

After all... it's "Mulan".

But Zhao Shan discussed it with Shen Changlin and came to the conclusion that there is no need to lick...

The heroines of the current Disney princess series live-action movies, Elle Fanning who plays Princess Aurora, and Lily James who plays Cinderella, have not received great changes in their acting careers because of playing princesses...

Basically, we can only seek development step by step step by step, and there is no phenomenon that after the performance of the princess, the big production will soar into the sky and receive soft hands.

To put it bluntly, the core of the success of princess movies at the box office is Disney's IP, which relies on the various classic works created by Disney many years ago. The influence of the heroine is actually not much stronger than that of other casts. Just screws.

It doesn't matter if you can choose the best one or not.

It's not worth licking Disney for a movie!
At first, Zhao Shan wanted Rouba to audition, but the time for Rouba had expired, and Nazha also wanted to shoot "Tomb Raider"...

let it go!

Most importantly, she knows some adjustments from the above direction - Shen Changlin's "Changjin Lake" has been approved.

Shen Changlin directly issued an order not to allow his actors to audition for "Mulan"...

No one knows better than him how bad "Mulan" is-even if it is placed in the Disney princess series that has been released, it is still at the bottom.

The logic of the script is poor, the narrative rhythm is weird, the action war scenes are petty, lack of entertainment, and there is a big gap compared with the original animation, and there are too many flaws!
$[-] million cost?

Where are the flowers?

Is there a kite-like phoenix special effect on it?
……

On the set of "Knives Out", the actors quickly entered the state...

Also, the leading actors of "Knives Out" are all of the same level of drama. Whether it is Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, or Michael Shannon, they are all veteran actors with decades of drama experience.

Acting is no problem!

What's more, I have been intensively rehearsing for a week...

They are familiar with the script, the characters and their relationships.

Take it easy!

However, several actors, especially Henry Cavill, were a little surprised by Shen Changlin's efficiency - almost a week has passed, and the first half of the filming has already been completed...

During the break, Shen Changlin discussed the next shooting with photographer John Toll...

To be precise, it should be lighting and photography

John Toll was the photographer Wen Ziren recommended to Yang Fan, who in turn recommended to Shen Changlin.

He has a lot of qualifications and has a lot of masterpieces, such as "The Burning Days", "Braveheart", etc. By the way, he is also the photographer of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"!
His style is in line with the movie "Knives Out"-in general, it is a style of natural beauty, seemingly plain, but it feels natural.

It is different from the front-and-back shooting of the shoulders that are more popular in Hollywood, that is, the characters reach the shoulders, the lens is telephoto, and the space distance is compressed relatively tightly, the depth of field is very shallow, and the background is blurred.

John Toll took the dialogue and put the camera between the two people. From the middle position, he used a wide-angle lens to shoot, which gave a deeper depth of field, and he could see the position and relationship of the characters in space, and even the body language other than the face. Can be well represented…

The style is more biased towards the style of European movies.

In fact, Shen Changlin wants to work with Roger Deakins the most. I heard that he will solve the director's problem of composition and storyboarding when making movies. Among the directors that Roger Deakins cooperates, although there are also Coen Brothers, there is also Sam. Mendes or Angelina Jolie, a director who doesn't have much pursuit of the camera, Sam Mendes doesn't draw the storyboard script, Angelina Jolie knows the sense of the camera, but "007 Big Break" Both Skyfall and Unbreakable show high levels of cinematography...

But...Roger Deakins himself has a relatively conservative style. As an old-fashioned British, he also received European-style image training, so he must generally be a stickler for the more traditional photography system.For example, he doesn't like short-focus wide-angle lenses, and he is also quite repulsed by zoom lenses...

As a suspenseful theme, "Knives Out" must use a large number of zoom lenses!

Shen Changlin was talking about photography with John Toll, when Henry Cavill came over: "Director, is it so fast to make movies in China?"

"Soon?"

"I feel like we're almost a week away from filming?"

"Yes... I originally planned to shoot for 10~15 days!"

"It's too fast, isn't it?"

Shen Changlin was surprised and asked back: "I heard that Roger Corman once finished filming a movie in two or three days..."

John Toll shook his head: "He made a car movie...not like us!"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "It's just that the types are different. Our scenes are fixed, the actors are professional, and there are no big scenes... A 110-minute movie is shot for half a month, and this cycle is enough!"

After a while, Henry Cavill wanted to ask Shen Changlin to go to the bar, but Shen Changlin refused: "I don't drink!"

"That's too bad!"

Henry Cavill himself left…

……

Shen Changlin had no intention of getting along with these actors.

We met by chance, and collaborated in a play, so we shouldn't have a chance to meet each other in the future!

After filming "Knives Out" and the sequel, Shen Changlin didn't plan to film by himself - if he was detained, it would be miserable.

Leave it to Wen Ziren or Rainer to shoot.

By the way, Shen Changlin was quite professional and honest throughout the filming stage.

Not only did he leave Ana de Armas untouched, he didn't even touch Taissa Farmiga, who came over to play a supporting role!
It's still Mitu Sports!

Ten months until the Harvey Weinstein affair explodes…

To be honest, in the United States, a country where political donations cannot be taxed to the rich, and the common people cannot be treated. Hollywood also advocates freedom in various ways.

Shen Changlin thinks that his roots are right...

Cough cough, forget it, the main thing is that he was cowardly.

"I'm in the hotel...where else can I go?"

Back at the hotel, after taking a shower, I just received a video call from Shi Shi.

"..."I Am an Actor", no problem, I still have one week to finish filming, there is still time!"

""The Iron Fist of Shame" broke 15 billion...Of course I know, big sister, I'm in Boston, not some backcountry, and the Maoyan APP can still be used normally!"

Shi Shi on the other end of the phone suddenly lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, I have received an audition invitation for "Mulan"!"

"…did you go?"

"Not yet, people said that there will be auditions in January next year, and it seems that there will be five rounds of auditions!"

Shen Changlin nodded, and then said: "Then listen to me, let's not join in the fun."

"Huh? Why?"

"I don't like Disney..."

"That's fine..." Shi Shi was a little frustrated, and then thought of something: "I heard that Yang Xiaomi has also received an audition invitation."

"...she has no chance!"

"why?"

"... "

The kind of breasts that are too big to fit...
