Millennium director

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

He was just a producer at Disney, and he was not responsible for the "Mulan" project. He was just chatting with Wu Yuan about this matter with a gossip mentality.

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

"I know, I will report your ideas to the company." Jovan Garfield shrugged and simply changed the subject: "Director, when can we wrap up this movie?"

"I think the filming is going smoothly!"

"It should be finished at the end of this month." Wu Yuan said uncertainly.

Originally, according to the plan, "Bruce Lee" would be finished in mid-November, but after the actual shooting began, the filming of this movie was indeed extremely smooth. It can only be said that there was someone who knew Bruce Lee very well and looked like him from the shape to the spirit, so the crew's filming was indeed easy.

Wu Yuan also felt that it should be finished half a month in advance.

This is a good thing. Finishing the film half a month in advance can give Disney half a month more time for publicity and promotion, and it can also make the film's road to winning awards more relaxed, not as tight as the initial arrangement.

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

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

At the same time.

On the other side.

Far away in China, the last film project of the year by Light and Shadow Times is also progressing smoothly.

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

This movie is also a carefully prepared award-winning movie by Light and Shadow Times this year!

Unlike "Bruce Lee", this "Glass Love" is aimed at the three major European films in 2020!

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

Wu Yuan doesn't need to be mentioned. Although he is not a direct descendant of Venice, he won his heavyweight 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 good impression of Venice.

Unlike the tight schedule of "Bruce Lee", "Glass Love" has plenty of time to prepare because it is aimed at the Venice Film Festival next year.

Zhang Guorong also attaches great importance to this project. He has been preparing since the beginning of the year and started shooting in the middle of the year. Now the film has been started for two months, but only about one-third of it has been shot.

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

It is different from the situation where an art film can be shot in two months like Wu Yuan.

Although it is not as bad as the Sunglass King, 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 for a movie.

This is also the reason why many art film directors have always looked down on commercial film directors, that is, they think that their films are carefully shot with painstaking efforts, while commercial film directors often produce them on an assembly line for several months.

At this time, Zhang Guorong was filming his dream work in Central, Hong Kong Island with his crew.

"Lin Zai, 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 studio.

Yes, the male lead of "Glass Love", which was adapted from Zhang Guorong's own experience, is Zhang Zhilin, the last hope of male actors in Hong Kong Island.

He personally invited him.

When Zhang Zhilin debuted, he was helped by Zhang Guorong, so after his former "benefactor" came to invite him to star in the movie, he agreed without saying a word.

However, after seeing the script, Zhang Zhilin, who has been an actor for nearly 30 years and thinks he can easily handle acting, still feels particularly tricky.

There is no way. Although he has acted in many film and television works in his life, Zhang Zhilin has always been a more "traditional" actor. He is very good at interpreting the feelings between the opposite sex, but on the other hand, he really has no experience at all.

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

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

The other two leading actors who acted opposite him, that is, the heroine and the second male lead, are Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, who are well-known in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Well, these two were once lovers, but this time they have to compete for men in the same movie, which is also 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 has really weakened to the extreme. People born in the 80s and 90s can hardly find an excellent actor with good acting skills.

Zhang Guorong can only find suitable actors among those born in the 70s, and finally can only pick out Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, which is the best choice.

As for finding actors from the mainland to play?

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 couldn't stop the death of Hong Kong films, but at least he hoped that his film could become the last tombstone for the grave of Hong Kong films.

However, it is not easy to make this tombstone well.

At least the shooting of "Glass Love" was far less smooth than "Bruce Lee", it was a bumpy ride.

Almost every scene, Zhang Guorong needs to personally direct, sometimes he has to act once, and then let the male lead learn it again.

There is no way, Zhang Guorong really had experience in acting in this type of movie back then, his "Happy Together" is still a classic work in the history of world cinema, and is regarded as a benchmark by Europeans.

It's just that his directing style is completely different from that of the King of Sunglasses, so he won't deliberately let the actors guess how to act by themselves, and decide purely by feeling.

"Oh, I really miss the time when Director Wu personally directed me." During the shooting break, Zhang Guorong, who was sitting in the director's chair to rest, thought of the time when he directed his first movie and Wu Yuan ran to Qingdao to personally supervise him.

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

However, this thought only flashed through Zhang Guorong's mind for a short time, and then he suppressed it again.

This is the movie he wants to win an award for, how can he let other people help? Even if he wins the award, it will be unfair!

"Okay, everyone has rested for a while, let's continue shooting!" (End of this chapter)
