Huayu since 1980

Chapter 596 Guiding Mel Gibson

The arrival of Chen Chong and Zun Long made the atmosphere of the scene even more enthusiastic.

Wu Jianye asked Zun Long's recent situation, only to realize that he is still the same as his previous life. After playing "The Last Emperor", many crews actually found Zun Long, not only from Hollywood, but also from Xiangjiang. RB's, but the roles and images are similar, Zunlong refused to repeat his play, and now he is performing on Broadway, and he is living a happy life.

However, there are still some things that are different from the other time and space. For example, Zunlong and Chen Chong were not together in another time and space, and the two are still in love in this life.

After Chen Chong returned to North America, he was completing his studies, and at the same time, he had more performance opportunities in North America because he signed a contract with Hera. Now he is a well-known Chinese actress in Hollywood. I believe he will wait After "Western Dragon" is released, it will become even more famous.

The release schedule of "Western Dragon" is scheduled for this year's Christmas schedule in North America.

It is also a very good schedule.

But it was precisely because of this that Chen Chong had absolutely no intention of returning to China at this time, but Wu Jianye didn't have any opinion on this, everyone had their own ambitions.

Although the manor in Beverly Hills has taken on a new look, Wu Jianye still hasn't lived here for too long. David Fincher has heard that the shooting location in New York has been coordinated.

So Wu Jianye officially moved to New York with the film crew and cast members!
Regardless of how unfavorable the North American media is for the movie "Ghost Love", but since the filming started, it has received a lot of attention, and the popularity has not diminished. At that time, Wu Jianye kissed Isabel Adjani at the airport, and then Isabel Adjani moved out of the hotel. In the final press conference, several leading actors confronted the media.
All of them have brought great enthusiasm to this film, so now that the film is officially started, how could North American reporters not pay attention.

So as the news that the movie was about to start filming came out, many media companies sent reporters to follow the filming, hoping to dig out more black material.

Anyway, for North America today, blacking out the movie "The Love of Ghosts" is politically correct.

However, Wu Jianye did not make these people happy. There is no so-called opening ceremony for Hollywood movies, and the previous press conference is actually an official announcement.

But when it was time for the official filming, Wu Jianye played with mystery and did not allow the media to take pictures at all. Even for outdoor scenes, Wu Jianye recruited a lot of security guards to block the reporters outside. It can be said that this This time's secrecy measures are the strictest since Wu Jianye made a movie!
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many media reporters.

As a direct result, the movie was sprayed out by major magazines.
The main argument now is that everyone thinks that Wu Jianye has lost his confidence, and he doesn't even have the most basic media release day.

It's not that Wu Jianye is specifically targeting these media, mainly because this is his first time directing a Hollywood movie, and there are big differences between Eastern and Western movie shooting.

First of all, in terms of remuneration, when filming in China or Hong Kong, it is almost commonplace to turn around, but this is not the case in North America. There is a complete system here to guarantee the rights and interests of all staff members, how long to shoot every day, and what time to eat , are all regulated.

When the contract is formally signed, all possible problems will be marked in the contract. There are so many rules and regulations that there is no way to compare them in China.

In fact, the country has been talking about catching up with Hollywood and European movies. It’s not about catching up with a few excellent movies, or catching up with the box office. It’s about an entire industry system that must keep up. Of course. The meaning here is not to let the domestic system completely copy the Hollywood system, but more to have its own system according to its own characteristics.

It's the same as domestic football. It doesn't mean that changing some coaches can solve the problem. The coaches of the national football team have changed one after another, from domestic to foreign, and even invited world famous players with the highest salary in the world. Teach, so what?

The record is there. In the final analysis, the entire domestic football environment is not good.
Although Phantom Entertainment is now an upstart in Hollywood, it is still not qualified to challenge such rules, and Wu Jianye also needs to shoot his own "Ghost Love" within these rules!
In fact, it was fortunate that they were not allowed to take pictures, otherwise the news about the discord within the crew of "The Love of Ghosts" would have hit the headlines the next day.

"Mel, what were you doing just now? Do you think you are still a Rigg police officer? You are a bank executive, and your performance just now was a bunch of stinky shit!" Wu Jianye said mercilessly on the set. Mel Gibson reprimanded him.

Mel Gibson had a gloomy face, obviously suppressing his anger, but he didn't refute, because his performance just now was really bad.

Then Wu Jianye announced the remake.

During the filming process, there were things that made Wu Jianye angry, but there were also things that made him feel at ease. The movie has been filming for two days. At least Wu Jianye is quite satisfied with the dedication of these actors. Although the filming has just started, everyone Some people can quickly integrate into their roles.

Even the performance of Tony Godwin, who is playing such an important role for the first time, is very good. Although there will be mistakes, it has exceeded Wu Jianye's expectations.

As for Isabelle Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg, there is no problem. Isabel Adjani has already got the script of "Ghost Love" since the beginning of the year, and has spent almost half a year studying it. The script, and at the same time, the role of Meili in the movie is much smaller than the roles she played before.

As for Whoopi Goldberg's performance, it was enough for Wu Jianye to describe her performance as stunning.

"Good!" When the work was over, Wu Jianye gave Whoopi Goldberg a thumbs up!
Otta, played by Whoopi Goldberg, is equivalent to a funny role in the movie, but Whoopi Goldberg can still make this role perform with a very strong sense of hierarchy.

"Thank you." Whoopi Goldberg is also very happy. After two days of observation, although Wu Jianye's ability is still not completely sure, the suspicion in Whoopi Goldberg's heart has been reduced a lot. However, Wu Jianye's opinions can often be hit with one hit.

Sometimes it is a simple position, when she stands there according to Wu Jianye's instructions, she can feel that the aura is different at that time.

But the most troublesome thing for Wu Jianye is Mel Gibson, who had a problem with the previous filming. It’s not that Mel Gibson performed too much on the set. As a well-known Hollywood actor, he actually cherishes his feathers very much. If it doesn't contradict their own ideas too much, they are also very willing to listen to the director's opinion.

Of course, everything is just beginning now. As for what happens next, there will definitely be problems. Now everyone is still in the honeymoon period of cooperation. With the deepening of filming, various problems will still appear.

Then it's time to see Wu Jianye's director skills,
The first potential problem that arises now is Mel Gibson, who has just finished filming "Lethal Weapon 2" at this time and has not yet fully stepped out of Rigg's role.

Sam in "Ghost Love" is a relatively helpless character, even when he is not dead at the beginning, he is not a strong character.

And Mel Gibson is very easy to show his tough side, which doesn't match Sam's character.

In these two days of filming, Mel Gibson was the actor who stopped the most.

It can be seen from his gloomy face that his mood is also very gloomy.

"Mel, do you have time tonight?" Wu Jianye asked, and the anger during the filming had disappeared.

This is also in Hollywood. If it is in China or Xiangjiang, it is impossible for the director to discuss with the actors in such a friendly manner. For Hollywood actors, today's shooting is completed, which means that their work today has been completed That's right, the rest of the time is personal time, and the crew has no right to discuss work matters with them.

Mel Gibson held his coat and stood in front of Wu Jianye: "What's wrong?"

"Dining together at night?" Wu Jianye said.

Mel Gibson nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then the two came to a cafe. During filming, Hollywood actors strictly drink alcohol. Of course, this unspoken rule gradually disappeared later.

"Your performance is very bad!" Wu Jianye didn't say anything to Mel Gibson, and pointed out Mel Gibson's problem straight to the point.

"The role of Sam is different from any character you have played before. He is not a policeman, but a bank executive!"

Mel Gibson looked at Wu Jianye and asked: "This is why you cursed on the set!"

When Wu Jianye was shooting a movie, he was not a calm and elegant director. Although Hollywood has various rules and regulations, Wu Jianye is still the director of this movie. When shooting, all the actors All must follow his request to shoot.

Wu Jianye said bluntly: "Yes, you can feel your own performance before, otherwise you would not have stopped talking at that time. The performance of these two days, even Tony's performance is better than yours. A lot, do you yourself hope that when the movie is released, you will be told that you are not as good as Tony?"

Mel Gibson stopped talking, as Wu Jianye said, he knew his own performance, and his performance in the past two days was indeed unsatisfactory.

When Wu Jianye saw that Mel Gibson was silent, he knew that he was thinking. At this time, Wu Jianye did not interrupt his thinking. Sometimes what he realized by himself was more impressive to him than the help of others.

"Actually, I know all of this, but when performing, I always do it subconsciously." Mel Gibson said after thinking for a while.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Understanding the process of success is fundamentally different from real success, and some people may not be able to truly complete the process in the middle."

"Your problem is that you haven't really considered yourself as a bank executive yet. I know that you went to the police station to observe the behavior of real policemen when you were filming "Lethal Weapon", but when you received "Lethal Weapon", Have you really learned about this profession after the script of Human and Ghost Love?"

At this time, Wu Jianye is neither a director nor a director, more like a friend, teaching Mel Gibson how to perfectly express Sam's state.

Mel Gibson's face was slightly red. During this period of time, he really did not do what Wu Jianye said. Even if Mel Gibson wanted to use this movie to open up another way of acting for himself, and at the same time expand his market in Europe, but After all, he was still influenced by the good North American media.

Even during the press conference, he himself pissed off the media reporters.

This subtle influence may not even be noticed by himself, but things really exist.

Wu Jianye continued: "I know you have always been in the habit of exercising. I need you to stop exercising from today. At the same time, if you have nothing to do at night, you can read books on finance. You don't need to understand it specifically. It allows you to better integrate into this role."

Mel Gibson nodded. At this time, he had been persuaded by Wu Jianye.

After that, Wu Jianye didn't talk about the filming anymore. The two just chatted about some irrelevant topics, but at the end, Wu Jianye said: "I don't have time to wait for you to go slowly. To be familiar with this role, you need to overcome these difficulties by yourself, if you still have problems in the future shooting, I will still reprimand you mercilessly!"

Mel Gibson said with a smile: "Don't worry, if it's a real suggestion, I will accept it with humility!"

The two then shook hands and said goodbye.

Directors and actors don't have to be friends, just like Jordan and Pippen were not friends during the Bulls' two and three consecutive championships, but they were close partners on the court.

Wu Jianye needs Mel Gibson's performance to make "Ghost Love" a classic work, and Mel Gibson also needs this movie to continue to contribute to his career!

The crew actually lived in a hotel, but today Wu Jianye didn't intend to go back to the hotel, but went to Li Xiuming's apartment.

It has been a few days since I came to New York, and Wu Jianye has been busy with "The Love of Ghosts" before, so I haven't been to see Li Xiuming.

When the work was finished today, Li Xiuming called Wu Jianye. If it wasn't for helping Mel Gibson quickly adapt to the role, Wu Jianye would already be in the apartment by now!
