director of the millennium

Jovan Garfield did not comment on Wu Yuan's words.

He is just a producer at Disney and is not responsible for the "Mulan" project. He talked about this matter with Wu Yuan purely for gossip.

To be honest, even if "Mulan" flopped, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care.

"I see. I will report your idea to the company." Jovan Garfield shrugged and changed the subject: "Director, when can we expect the film to be finished?"

“I see the filming is going well!”

"It should be wrapped up by the end of this month." Wu Yuan said uncertainly.

Originally, according to the plan, "Bruce Lee" was not to be completed until mid-November, but after the actual shooting began, the filming of this movie was indeed extremely smooth. It can only be said that with someone who knew Bruce Lee very well and who resembled him in both appearance and spirit, the filming of the crew was indeed easy.

Wu Yuan also felt that the filming should be completed half a month in advance.

This is a good thing. Completing the filming half a month in advance will give Disney half a month more time for promotion and marketing, and it will also allow the film to have more room to win awards, instead of being as tight as planned at the beginning.

"This is a good thing." As expected, Jovan Garfield was very happy after hearing this, and said with great joy: "It seems that we should have a party to celebrate tonight!"

"I think we should wait until the film is finished before having the party." Wu Yuan shook his head.

at the same time.

the other side.

Far away in China, Light and Shadow Era’s last film project of the year is also progressing smoothly.

That is the new movie "Glass Love" directed by Zhang Guorong.

This movie is also an award-winning movie that Light and Shadow Times has carefully prepared this year!

Unlike "Bruce Lee", this "Glass Love" is aiming at the top three in Europe in 2020!

The first choice is naturally the Venice Film Festival, because Wu Yuan and Zhang Guorong both have close ties with the Venice Film Festival.

There is no need to talk about Wu Yuan. Although he is not a direct descendant of Venice, he won his major awards in Venice and had a very good relationship with the previous president of the Venice Film Festival.

Zhang Guorong also won the Best Actor trophy in Venice and has a great affection for Venice.

Unlike the time-sensitive "Bruce Lee", "A Touch of Glass" has plenty of preparation time because it is aimed at next year's Venice Film Festival.

Zhang Guorong also attached great importance to this project. He started preparing for it at the beginning of the year, but the filming did not start until the middle of the year. Now the film has been in production for two months, but only about one-third of the film has been shot.

This is also the normal shooting speed of a normal art film director.

It's different for someone like Wu Yuan who can shoot an art film in just two months.

Although it is not as bad as King of Sunglasses who can spend more than ten years to prepare and shoot a movie, it is normal for a normal art film director to spend a year from preparation to shooting of a movie.

This is also the reason why many art film directors have always looked down on commercial film directors. They believe that their films are produced with great effort and careful shooting, while commercial film directors often produce them on an assembly line for several months.

At this time, Zhang Guorong was leading the crew to shoot his dream movie in Central, Hong Kong Island. "Linzai, relax your expression. Although you and her are still good friends, you don't love him anymore." Zhang Guorong was holding a loud speaker and talking to the male lead in the middle of the set.

Yes, the leading actor of this film, "Glass Love" adapted from Zhang Guorong's own experience, is none other than the last hope of Hong Kong male actors, Julian Cheung.

He personally went to invite him.

When Julian Cheung made his debut, he was helped by Rongsheng Zhang, so when his former "benefactor" came to him and invited him to star in a movie, he agreed without hesitation.

However, after reading the script, Zhang Zhilin, who has been an actor for nearly 30 years and thought he could handle acting easily, still found it particularly difficult.

There is no way. Although he has acted in many film and television works in his life, Julian Cheung has always been a relatively "traditional" actor. He is very good at interpreting the feelings between the opposite sexes, but on the contrary, he really has no experience at all.

Not to mention that he hasn't played many roles with many emotional lines in recent years. Instead, he has switched to playing police and gangster films, such as "Sweeping Black Operations", "Assassination Storm", "Anti-Corruption Storm" and so on.

Zhang Zhilin, who hasn't acted in such an emotional drama for a long time, is even more out of place in the crew of "Glass Love".

The other two leading actors who acted opposite him, the female lead and the second male lead, were the well-known Hong Kong film and television circles Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong.

Well, these two were once lovers, and now they are competing for a man in the same movie, which is interesting.

However, this is not because Zhang Guorong has any bad taste. The main reason is that when the time came to 2019, the film industry in Hong Kong Island had really weakened to the extreme. It was almost impossible to find an excellent actor with acting skills comparable to those born in the 80s and 90s.

Zhang Guorong could only look for suitable actors among those born after 70s, and finally he could only pick out Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, which were the best choices.

As for finding actors from the mainland to perform?

The background of this movie is in Hong Kong Island. Zhang Guorong still hopes to find a group of Hong Kong Island's own actors to perform. After all, his identity has always been an actor and director from Hong Kong Island. He also hopes that this dream work can win awards as a Hong Kong film.

He cannot stop the death of Hong Kong films, but at least he hopes that his films can become the final tombstone in the grave of Hong Kong films.

However, making this tombstone is not an easy task.

At least the filming of "Glass" was not as smooth as "Bruce Lee". It was full of bumps and bruises.

Zhang Guorong had to personally direct almost every scene, and sometimes he had to act once and then let the male lead learn it.

There's no way around it. Zhang Guorong did have experience in acting in this type of movie. His "Happy Together" is still a classic in world film history and is regarded as a benchmark by Europeans.

It's just that his directing style is completely different from that of King of Sunglasses. He won't be mysterious and let the actors guess how to act, but will make decisions purely based on their feelings.

"Oh, I really miss the time when Director Wu gave me personal guidance." During a break in filming, Zhang Guorong, who was resting in the director's chair, thought of the time when he directed his first film and Wu Yuan ran to Qingdao to personally supervise his production.

"If Director Wu was here, it would definitely be a lot easier to shoot this movie."

However, this thought only flashed through Zhang Guorong's mind briefly, and then he suppressed it again.

This is the movie he wants to win awards for, how can he let other people help? Even if he wins the award, it would be unfair!
"Okay, everyone has rested enough, let's continue filming!" (End of this chapter)
