China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 413: Choosing a director, the more you choose, the more outrageous you become
Another child star that Fang Yu knew, Shi Xiaolong, has been heard from in the domestic entertainment industry. Yang Zi is also a child star, so her journey has been a little longer.

After a phone call came through, Yang Zi was shocked when she heard that the caller was Fang Yu. She was shocked for more than ten seconds without uttering a complete sentence.

"Fangfangfangfangfang"

"If the lines are like this, I might not want to use you anymore."

"I, I, I, no, no, no, etc."

Fang Yu could hear the sound of Yang Zi swallowing saliva clearly through the phone line. He smiled helplessly, "Okay, that's it."

"don't don't"

"What? Don't you want to come?"

"No no no no."

Yang Zi waited for a long time, and Fang Yu also waited patiently for a long time before she got her breath right.

"Isn't it that exaggerated? It's just filming with me."

"Ahhhh! Mom! Fang Yu wants to film a scene with me!"

Fang Yu quickly tilted his head to distance himself from the phone. Yang Zi's excited scream almost deafened him.

"Really? Really? Do you really want to film with me?!"

"Really."

"Why! Why?"

"I think you are suitable for this role."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

There was another scream on the other end of the phone. Fang Yu's ears were ringing because he hung up the phone and edited the text message and sent it.

[Save a date, the filming will probably start this month, you go and watch more movies about girls being bullied, and learn Thai, that’s it]

The text message was sent, and Fang Yu waited for more than an hour. League of Legends on the US server test server had already ended, but the phone screen did not light up.

"You're so emotional that you don't even know how to say thank you?"

Fang Yu shook his head helplessly, washed himself and went to sleep.

The genius brightened slightly, and the phone screen on the bedside table lit up.

Fang Yu squinted and picked up his phone to check. The sender was Yang Zi.

Open the MMS message and take a look.

Good guy.

A handwritten letter of [-] words!
[Dear Fang Yu, I am your loyal fan! 】

After reading the first line of words, Fang Yu knew that there were things in the middle that could be ignored and read directly to the bottom.

[I will always love your fan Yang Zi! 】

The starring roles have all been decided, and Fang Yu has also chosen the remaining supporting roles.

For example, the restaurant boss, the evil police officer, and the hero's good buddy are played by Wu Mengda, Nie Yuan, and Lei Jiayin respectively.

The preparations for the actors are complete, but there is still one crucial position left.

director.

Although this time it is a suspense film, Fang Yu did not want James Wan to film it.

James Wan can capture the horror atmosphere, but he cannot capture the delicate emotions of the characters.

When it comes to exploring human nature, he falls short.

Among mainland directors, the only famous ones are Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou.

It's a pity that no one in Fang Yu is willing to cooperate.

Feng Xiaogang won’t say it anymore. It’s fine for comedy, but almost impossible for suspense.

Brother Chen Kai. Lao Mouzi.
Brother Chen Kai doesn't mention anything else. He can directly ask you to invest [-] million at the beginning. As for how the film will turn out, it's hard to say.

Besides, it was impossible for Fang Yu to cooperate with this Lao Deng.

It’s not like Zhang Yimou and Fang Yu have never watched Lao Mouzi’s suspense films.

Half of the river is green, three-shot shooting is surprising, both are suspense films.

Blockbusters that claim to have invested over [-] million, all end up looking like Werewolf in a courtyard.Mouzi is probably more of a literary and drama-oriented person, and playing with color and camera is his strength.

Fang Yu had no choice but to glance at Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The two directors he first thought of were the two directors of his first Hong Kong film "Big Brother", Wei Jiahui and To Qifeng.

These two directors are considered veteran Xiangjiang directors. They have made many suspense films in their career. Unfortunately, they have not had the opportunity to contact the international community. Their usual techniques of expression in Xiangjiang movies have more or less failed to keep up with the international market, and their abilities are still a bit weak.

Then, he thought of Chen Guofu, the director of "Two Eyes" with whom he had collaborated in "The Wind" not long ago.

“The idea is good, but the experience is lacking, so it’s almost meaningless.”

"Wang Jiawei? Hmm"

"Xuke seems to be pretty good too."

Fang Yu unconsciously pressed the remote control while thinking. The program switched to ctv1 and then back to ctv[-], and then repeated the operation.
When they arrived at the ctv4 international channel, Fang Yu suddenly slapped his thigh!
"No, no. My field of vision is limited. Why don't I look further?"

Since this film is originally an Indy film, it means that it is not necessarily necessary to use a local director to shoot this film.

After going abroad, directors have more choices.

The first is the Chinese Li Zhao.

Oscar for Best Director, the pinnacle of Chinese directors.

However, I have never made a suspense film in my career, so filming Manslaughter was too much.

Now that he is looking internationally, Fang Yu has become bolder.

Start your search in Asia.

There are many excellent suspense films in Asia, but those are the ones that are mentioned over and over again.

For example, "Memories of Murder", "The Beginning of the Kim Funan Murder Incident", "Rashomon", "The Devotion of Suspect X", etc.

Among them, Bong Joon-ho, the director of Memories of Murder, who is also the director of "Parasite", "Han River Monster" and "Snowpiercer", made Fang Yu feel that he was very suitable for this story of manslaughter.

Just when he was about to make a decision, he suddenly had another idea.

Since we are all in Asia, why not go to the Western world?
He originally wanted to win the three major European film awards: Cannes Palme d'Or, Berlin Golden Bear, and Venice Golden Lion for "Manslaughter". Maybe white people can better understand the brain circuits of Western film judges, and this film can also go further. Farther away.

This man, once his horizons are broadened, he can never take them back.

For example, a young guy wants to buy a car for [-] yuan.

When I arrived at the 4S store, I looked at this and that, and my friend said, if you can buy a domestic Harvard for 12, you might as well spend [-] on a Volkswagen.

When you arrive at the Volkswagen 4S store and the test drive is over with great interest, someone may say, you have seen Volkswagen, why don’t you take a look at Audi?See it later.

The final result was that I originally planned to buy Harvard with the full amount of 4 yuan, but finally took out a loan and bought an A[-].

Fang Yu's courage is getting bigger and bigger, from the little-known Chen Guofu to Wei Jiahui, Wang Jiawei, Li Xi, and Feng Junhao.

Finally, he focused on three white directors whom he admired very much.
Jonathan Demme: "The Silence of the Lambs"

David Fincher: "Seven," "Fight Club," "Zodiac," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "Gone Girl"

Christopher Nolan: "The Dark Knight Trilogy", "Inception", "Interstellar"

Judging from the number of suspense films, David Fincher beats Jonathan Demme by a lot.

But the Oscar-winning film "The Silence of the Lambs" directly killed the competition.

Fang Yu got the mobile phone number from Universal and called Jonathan Demme first.

"Okay, Mr. Demi, I won't disturb your rest."

Fang Yu felt helpless after hanging up the phone.

After Jonathan Demme participated in the Venice Film Festival last year and was nominated for a Golden Lion, he planned to return to his family and return to life. Even though Fang Yu warmly invited him, he refused.

Fang Yu had no choice but to call David Finch, the second pick.

"I'm really sorry Stephen. I personally want to work with you, but my work schedule is too full at the moment. This social network is a film that I have worked hard on. If possible, I would really like to hear about it from you. A suspense film about a perfect crime, but a pity”

After hanging up the phone again, Fang Yu sighed heavily.

Fang Yu is the director who has the least confidence to explain to Nolan.

Although Nolan has not won many awards, his reputation in the industry has always been good, and he is like the uncrowned king.

But this person's creative ideas are very strange, and Fang Yu is a little unpredictable.

But life still has to go on, and the film can't be filmed. Fang Yu dialed Nolan's phone with anxiety.
