China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 620 Three major Chinese directors in Hollywood watch movies

It is a very bold attempt to make a Western-style horror film using the techniques of Hong Kong films and the ideas of Asian suspense films.

However, as early as 06, there was such a director who benefited from this routine template.

Adapted from "The Departed", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Departed" won four Oscars and also brought Leonardo DiCaprio a Best Actor nomination. "The Departed" is such a film.

The 79th Academy Award for Best Picture.

The 79th Academy Award for Best Director.

The 79th Academy Award for Best Editing.

The 79th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

This movie is viewed from the perspective of a movie fan who has watched Infernal Affairs.

A piece of shit.

But for Western movie fans and judges who have not seen "Infernal Affairs" to see it, it is an Oscar-worthy film.

"Insidious 2" is actually "Mr. Zombie" that Fang Yu created for Western audiences by merging Hong Kong, Thai, Japanese and Korean horror films, based on Lin Zhengying's ghost films!

bad news.

Melted.

good news.

Okay, he's blended in!

Audiences who understand have already noticed that the current clips of this film have shadows of classic movies such as "The Shining" and "The Exorcist", coupled with a unique Asian horror atmosphere. Foreigners with bad bladders will be shocked at this time I can only hold it in, but I can't find any peeing spots at all.

"Nice shot."

In the cinema, three major Chinese-American directors in Hollywood were watching the movie.

The popcorn director on the left, director of the "Fast and Furious" series, Lin Yibin!

In the middle, low-budget production, rising star of horror films, director of "Insidious", "The Conjuring", "Saw", "The Haunted Man", James Wan.

On the right, the ceiling of literary and artistic films, regarded as a masterpiece by special groups, is the Academy Award for Best Director of "Brokeback Mountain" and the winner of the Academy Award for Best Director of "Life of Pi" - Li Zhao!

At present, Li Xi has "only" won one Oscar, but he has also reached the T1 level in the directing industry. The sound he made just now was made by him.

To be praised by Li Zhao, even a well-known director like James Wan would have to blush and say a few polite words.

But unfortunately, the design of this scene did not come from James Wan.

"Director Ang Lee, this scene was not designed by me, but by Stephen. He designed it all."

"Stephen?"

Li Zhao nodded in surprise, he knew Fang Yu.

In other words, he started studying Fang Yu's works a long time ago.

Just because Li Xi is good at making literary and drama films does not mean that he is also good at making other films.

The production cost of Li Zhao's "The Incredible Hulk" alone reached 130 million U.S. dollars, but the box office was "only" over 200 million U.S. dollars. Several parties blamed it, and the reputation of a money-loser was settled. It’s director Li Zhao.

Compared to Stephen Fang, the son of the box office, even the famous Oscar-winning director Li Xi has to say that he is willing to be inferior! Director Fang's reputation has long been spread in Hollywood. They say he is an actor, but in fact he is an all-rounder who is an investor, screenwriter, producer, actor, etc.

Li Xi didn't take Fang Yu seriously at first. Even though "I Am Legend" brought Fang Yu an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, the two of them were not the same person.

It wasn't until Fang Yu started working on superhero IPs that Li Yao set his sights on Fang Yu again.

The unreleased "Spider-Man 4" and "Joker" were wildly praised by the professional editing team, and news spread early that Stephen Fong had two more hits.

"Avengers 1", which is currently being filmed, has been analyzed by professionals and is also a high-quality work worth over one billion US dollars.

The three previous popular films "Wonder Woman", "Captain America" ​​and "Thor" were all works that surprised Li Ye and could not understand them.

Other directors might think that Fang Yu is just lucky.

Li Zhao himself has experienced failure in superhero movies. He deeply understands that superhero popcorn is difficult to make. It must be understandable to first-time moviegoers and satisfy fans of the original work. It cannot all follow the comic plot. You can’t adapt it too much.

All in all, difficult to photograph.

As a producer and co-screenwriter, Fang Yu can make money everywhere, so Li Yao had to study and study what kind of magic power this young man had.

It just so happened that the Chinese Hollywood Practitioners Association had a dinner yesterday. At the dinner table, James Wan talked about the release of his new film.

This is the magical scene where three major Hollywood directors gathered in a cinema to watch a movie.

Li Xi heard Wen Ziren's explanation and subconsciously retorted, "How could it be? Aren't you the director of the film?"

He regretted it after he said it. Such words without emotional intelligence were quite hurtful.

However, James Wan didn't care, because he and Fang Yu had a mutual sympathy for their cooperation. He would say anything good and would not take credit for it at all, "This scene was indeed designed by Stephen, regardless of his identity as a producer." , in fact, he can be regarded as a director of 0.5~!"

"Oh! His design is good! As a person who doesn't watch this kind of movies very much, I am already looking forward to the follow-up development." Li Ye nodded in admiration.

"Stephen can really surprise me! I think he had just finished cooperating with James Wan (Jacques Wan) on Ghost Story. When I met him in the studio, his fighting spirit, which he had just arrived, was so hard for Chinese people to see. The attitude of seeking glory has deeply infected me.”

"Later on, he became the protagonist of my movie series. He really knew how to do everything on the set. He even did drifting himself, which made the white protagonists look stupid! The audience only knows when the white protagonists act cool. Very handsome, I didn’t know that Stephen’s driving scenes were all done by himself! In the next Fast and Furious movie, I will definitely release the footage of Stephen’s driving as an Easter egg in the movie, just like the ending of the big-nosed Jackie Chan movie !”

"Then let me thank you first for my good friend." Wen Ziren patted Lin Yibin on the shoulder.

It’s not often that three major Chinese-American directors in Hollywood praise an actor together. This scene happened to be captured by an entertainment paparazzi on the sidelines. The photo ended. I don’t know how to write a title when I go back.

But no matter what, the name Stephen Fang cannot be avoided.

After all, Fang Yu participated in the production of this movie.

"It's a pity that Stephen doesn't seem to have many roles in the film? I really like watching his performance." Li Xi affirmed Fang Yu again.

"If you tell Stephen this directly, he will definitely be happy for a long time. He just wants to be recognized for his acting skills, even if he is very good at other things."

"Oh? Then I have to look through his past performance clips." Li Xi rubbed his hands.

"No need to see you later, Stephen's scenes will be here soon." James Wan pointed at the screen as a reminder.
