The Best Director

Chapter 143 Advance

Mingshulou inGL "Robert, why can't you listen to me?" Wang Yang shouted loudly, looking at Downey in the ruined shed scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. full text novel

Over there, Downey was sitting on the ground with his mobile phone in his hands, shirtless. His body was painted by a makeup artist, and his shoulders, chest, and many other places were peeled off and deformed, exposing a hard shell like an insect. Hearing Wang Yang's words, he shrugged with "I disagree".

It has been more than a month since the shooting of "The Ninth District", and the crew is still in Vancouver. During this time, the work is basically carried out in the studio, and the "MNU Headquarters Office", "Hospital ", "Home" and other indoor scenes, most of these scenes are not special effects shots, but the shots of Wiggs and Christopher Fussen at the MNU headquarters are enough for animators to draw.

Some of these special effects shots required the use of small live explosions. With the professional help of the stuntmen, Wang Yang successfully completed the warm-up and tried to shoot the explosion scene. However, the shooting work was not 100% smooth. When the design met reality, many sub-shots needed to be re-corrected on the spot, shooting techniques, etc. Another point is that he and Downey had many disputes.

It's not a question of acting skills, every actor who can join this crew is qualified for his role, but because of some modeling problems of Viggs, in which scene he feels what emotion, the two have some disagreements, this There is actually no right or wrong in it, it's just that the understanding of the roles is different. For example, in this scene, Viggs called his wife, but his wife did not trust him, and he felt extremely painful.

"Director, trust me! I can fully understand Wiggs' pain now." Downey stood up while speaking, pointing at himself and said calmly: "Because I have experienced it, and everyone knows the reason. Uncomfortable, remorseful, lonely..." He shook his head and the crew around him remained silent.

"That's the problem." Wang Yang frowned, said to everyone, "take a break first," then walked over to pull Danny aside at night, and said, "Robert, you often put yourself and Wig Some of the emotions are common." This is one of the important reasons why he chose Downey to play the leading actor, and it turns out that Downey also performed at the level of an Oscar-winning actor.

As he spoke, he tore another piece of fake skin from Downey's body, and shook it, "Did you see it? Some things are different. You are taking drugs and he is deformed. One is voluntary and the other is forced." Downey interrupted with a curled lip. After touching him, he said, "I didn't take drugs voluntarily, but when you get attached to that thing, there will be a devil in your body, forcing you to do that..."

"OK, anyway, you don't touch it anymore and leave." Wang Yang also interrupted him and returned to the topic just now, explaining: "I think the difference between the two is that there is an extra "unwilling" in the middle. Sarah, being abandoned by your wife, you know you deserve it, so you have regrets." Donnie seemed to be chewing gum, moving his mouth and said, "Do I have any?"

Wang Yang ignored his interruption,

He continued: "But Wiggs won't think he deserved it when he was abandoned! Robert, the difference is too big!" He patted Downey on the shoulder, and repeated his request: "Let Wiggs Be a little angry, either angry with his wife, or confused, angry, unwilling... You have to make him look pitiful! He is struggling, not crying blankly."

"Hmm..." Downey also frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Yang, I didn't say he didn't struggle, but his first reaction was definitely not! When you put all your hopes on your wife, thinking that the whole world will abandon you, she won't, but she immediately abandons you! He let out a long sigh, as if he had returned to the time when he was abandoned" and said: "Wiggers probably didn't react at all, he was depressed and desperate, and he just wanted to uh..., this is a very serious blow. "

Wang Yang looked at him silently, thinking about how to solve it. Disputes between the director and the leading actors are normal on the set, but before filming "Ghost Story" and "High School Musical" no actor had a dispute with him; when "Happiness Knocks on the Door", Will Smith could perform indecently, Occasional disagreements are easy to discuss and resolve; Natalie's perfect performance in "Juno" makes him the most worry-free; and Downey, who is laughing and joking, is actually very stubborn and stubborn, and it is not easy to be persuaded.

After thinking about it for a while, he had an idea in his mind, and said with a smile, "Brother, what's there to argue about? Let's shoot both proposals." Downey laughed, with a look of "I see through you" Wang Yang rolled his eyes noncommittally, and Downey said, "Yang, it's not that I don't want to act like you said. "It's because I can't act! I can't get into the drama with that set of plans, how can you thank me?"

"Robert, are you going to act?" Wang Yang took a deep breath, and an inexplicable anger burst out.

Downey also became serious immediately, and said, "No, even if you kill me." Wang Yang frowned and said, "You can't say that nonsense." Downey also realized that something was wrong, and apologized: " Excuse me."

You can’t just make jokes about “killing people” now, not because of the fierce war in Afghanistan, but because not long ago, there was a bloody case in Shen Film Industry. Filmmaker Nathan Powell brutally murdered director Javier Vassell. This incident shocked the entire Hollywood, and no one wanted this kind of thing to happen again, so the quarrel between the producer and the director, and between the director and the actors all converged for the time being.

"I think I was affected by Wiggs' emotions." Downey shrugged helplessly, and then sighed: "I acted in "Spot Below Zero", and after the performance, my drug addiction became deeper, damn it Enter the show!"

Wang Yang couldn't help nodding when he heard the words. Recently, he has been a little "into the drama too deeply", and his temper has become a lot stronger. Well, at this point, the inexplicable anger disappeared immediately, and he gradually calmed down, thinking to himself: "Is it true that I am a bit selfish, what Robert said has his reasons, Wiggs is sad and desperate, and then unwilling...,

He thought for a while, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Why do we have to convince the other party? This question is not opposite, can't it be merged together? I think the answer is possible!" Downey blinked. , asked: "How to integrate?"

"Well, first you held the phone tightly, crying softly, very hopeless and pitiful. But then, you smashed the phone hard." Wang Yang looked at him "designing the picture, and said: "You start cursing, you start crying, you struggle in pain, you keep going crazy! Downey nodded again and again, with a look of interest on his face, he said: "It sounds good. It has the effect we want. Let's try it!" "

Wang Yang smiled, walked back to the camera crew with Downey, and said, "Dude, let's continue to follow this way of thinking next time, first think about the possibility of integration, and stop arguing all day long!" Downey Laughed haha, and praised: "MAN, I'm glad to see that you are not the kind of dictatorial director, nor are you a bomb keg! What a nice young man, U" Wang Yang gave him a thumbs up Middle finger, said: "U!"

Soon, a satisfied "CUT! Passed, next shot!" sounded from the studio.

When the clear blue sky in Vancouver was replaced by the beautiful scenery of dusk, the crew also ended their work for the day, but Wang Yang’s work was not over. After returning to the hotel for dinner, he began to check and accept today’s shooting results, and let the relevant assistants Send those satisfactory special effects shots to the image engine tomorrow.

Afterwards, he discussed tomorrow's shot with Walley Pfister and others; it was already late and tired when he returned to the room.

After taking a hot bath, Wang Yang came to the desk in his nightgown, "turned on the computer and typed to update a diary, and uploaded a work photo of the studio, of course, this photo is the one that won't reveal anything Type" is just a photo with the crew.

After 911, ggen suddenly attracted people's attention, everyone can easily build their own personal website, and share ghosts with friends and strangers... This feature makes it very popular in recent events, Coupled with the excellent publicity, the beautiful layout after redesign and other reasons, the number of registered users has continued to rise, and now it has exceeded 3 million users." More and more people become bloggers.

And "The Ninth District"'s first viral marketing website "Mysterious Visitor" was launched as early as mid-October. As long as the goal is achieved, the website will expose a batch of "very important pictures that unravel the content of the movie." Now only a few hundred articles are enough for 50,000, and I believe it will be achieved in a few days.

After Wang Yang finished updating his blog, he took a look at the situation of his friends. Jessica's was not updated, and the latest one was still ""Sweetheart" was finished a few days ago!" During this time, he spent a week If I have more time, I will go back to Los Angeles to supervise the production for a day, and the more work is to "review the sub-shots that Anne-Fletcher is going to shoot next week once a week, and give some opinions.

Now that "Sweetheart" has finished the shooting stage, it has begun to transfer to post-production. When Anne-Fletcher and Margaret Goodspeed, who is the editor, cut the first-cut version, he will also review and supervise the production.

"Today is really unlucky!" Looking at Natalie's late diary, Wang Yang couldn't help laughing. According to her introduction, when she was walking on the way to school in the morning, she suddenly fell and accidentally broke her left foot. Sprained; but this is not over, when I went back to the dormitory to go up the stairs at night, because I was looking at my left foot, I sprained my right foot for some reason" and almost rolled down the stairs...,

"Is this true or not?" Wang Yang laughed to himself, "If this diary was updated by Jessica, he would 100% believe it; but Natalie also..., he laughed "Laughing" still sent a greeting text message and "walk carefully." He opened Tom Welling's latest log and looked at it: "Happy! In January next year, Jamie and I will have a wedding..."

Finished reading the blog" After reading the current affairs news for a while, he went to bed to officially end the day.

Two days later, the 50,000 Ggen "Ninth District" diaries were all completed. Amid the joyful cheers of fans, the "Mystery Visitor" website responded immediately and released more than a dozen pictures. Movie fans were excited and surprised to find that these pictures are all ugly and characteristic 3D monsters, or... aliens!

"District 9" is actually a sci-fi movie, and it has these aliens! So what kind of sci-fi genre is it? Does the story take place on Earth or another planet?

"Cracked" the first viral marketing website, which excited fans. Every participant felt a sense of accomplishment looking at the pictures of aliens; "Nine Districts" is also its promotional activity. But facing the second round of viral marketing website launched by Flame Movie, they knew that the challenge had just begun.

The direct continuation of the "Mysterious Visitors" website is the "Alien Research Center" website. The bounty of this website is to unlock some information and characteristics of this alien race, including their names, temperament, etc. Starman's role in the movie; more pictures to come!

However, the difficulty of the reward target suddenly increased this time. Participants were required to dress up as aliens in their minds. They could wear a different kind of clothes, wear a Christmas hat, or just paint their faces in green or blue, and then Take a photo at a local scenic spot, and then upload it to the face, as long as the global participants account for more than one country or region, and the number of people reaches 1 million, the goal will be achieved!

And as long as you leave authentic address information when uploading pictures, no matter where you are on the earth, you will get an internal document "Top Secret Files" of the "United Nations Secret Organization for Studying Aliens", which also contains some aliens. Race information; there are also some secrets about crop circles and other phenomena related to aliens, and the Roswell incident, etc.!

"This is a huge challenge!" Flame Movie played this one to make fans even more excited. There is also a reminder that they can call their friends and family members to act together: "Work together to create a miracle!\

,"At the same time, there is also a ggen created by aliens, and now there is only a mysterious log on it: "Hello people on earth, I want to tell you something private...", I want the aliens to update his ggen If so, it is necessary to pass several puzzle-solving mini-games on another viral marketing website "Alien's Secret" and another game activity that extends to reality.

Flame Movie has hidden more than 60 English letters in order in some universities and high schools in major cities across the United States. The content of those letters is the biggest secret of aliens, and it will also be part of "The First A major clue to District Nine! So follow the clues provided to find it. The hiding place of each letter is different. It may be in a book in the library, or it may be in the toilet tank in the bathroom...

The distribution departments of many film companies have been paying attention to what Flame Movie and Wang Yang will do with the promotion of this "production cost of 100 million" and "contrary to the market..." Now seeing these new viral marketing , They were all very surprised! The power of viral marketing has long been proven. If played well, the effect will be more powerful than broadcasting trailers during Super Wrist. However, they are generally played badly, so the current common way of publicity is still Hard commercials, TV shows, and some events.

But now "District 9" has completely stretched the hand of viral marketing out of the Internet and into reality. One million people are taking photos, searching for letters on campuses across the United States... Crazy! The question is will anyone attend? Will such propaganda work? The film companies are all waiting and watching, and some companies are waiting to see the big jokes of the flame movie and Miracle Yang, such as "District 9" which can't even recover the cost.

And "The Ninth District" is really a sci-fi movie, and it has also attracted the attention of the media. What kind of sci-fi movie should be made in order to be nominated for the Oscars? incredible! Yahoo Movies commented bluntly: "Magical Yang always brings surprises and miracles, but this time, the chocolate Oscar is not in the box at all."

Time passed day by day and night passed, "The Thanksgiving holiday came in a blink of an eye." With the completion of shooting in the Vancouver studio and several indoor scenes, the crew of "District 9" also announced that it will be temporarily disbanded, and it will be reunited after Thanksgiving. Go to South Africa together.

On the streets of Beverly Hills, shops on both sides were filled with Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations and atmosphere. Wang Yang and Jessica strolled towards the cinema with smiles on their faces, ready to watch a movie. Today is the third anniversary of their love. On this happy day, both of them feel very sweet.

Wang Yang looked at her, thinking that he would be separated from her for another month in a few days, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm going to Africa soon." Jessica hummed, but frowned slightly, and said : "Yang" Actually, I don't really want you to go..." She immediately stopped talking, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Nothing, nothing! You didn't hear me just now, did you? "

"Jessie." Wang Yang hugged her with a smile, and comforted her as he walked, "You really don't need to worry, you know that our crew hired almost more bodyguards than employees, and..." He shouted He waved his fist with a smile and said, "Don't forget that I know Kung Fu!" Jessica nodded with a smile, and comforted him: "I'm not worried. It's just that I don't want you to go."
