In fact, half a month ago, Ronan passed the script written by Lindsay Bill to David Fincher after David Fincher conveyed his interested attitude, Ronan officially asked him to return to Los Angeles to meet him.

Unlike the movies that are always full of cold black shots and cruel themes, David Finch himself speaks slowly, like an ordinary middle-aged man whose edges have been smoothed out by life.

The two shook hands and greeted him, David Finch said directly: "Mr. Anderson, I really like the horror films made by your company, especially the Jigsaw in "Saw". There will be a sequel to it later? Will you dig deep into the Jigsaw's life and psychology and thoroughly explore the psychopathic side of the character?"

After watching all the movies directed by David Finch, Ronan was not surprised and said: "The project is currently in charge of Director James Wen, and I am not particularly clear about the specific content."

What David Finch said is indeed one of the directions that the movie can develop in the future, but the focus of the second sequel is still on the cruel mechanism murder itself, rather than the perverted mentality of digging out the jigsaw.

In fact, including the first movie, the film always tries to create jigsaws.

After all, James Winn is not David Finch, and he is a director with very strong commercial attributes.

David Fincher touched his sparse beard and said, "I really like Jigsaw characters with antisocial types."

Ronan smiled: "That is why there will be "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fighting Club".

Hearing this, David Finch couldn't help laughing.

Ronan remembers very clearly that David Finch once said something before - I think people are very perverted, at least I have a personality, which is the foundation of my directorial career.

Starting from "The Seven Deadly Sins", the movies David Finch has been filmed so far, and the most prominent characters have almost all had antisocial or perverted sides.

Someone once said this: If you like David Finch, then there will be more or less some "perverted" elements in your personality.

At that time, Ronan thought about this issue very seriously, and it seemed that it made some sense.

For example, when he was a child, he had a kitten at home. Ronan liked it very much. Every time he held it in his arms, he would suddenly have the idea of ​​holding it tightly.

This is true!

I'm afraid many people have had similar situations.

But in the end, reason prevailed, and reason suppressed the dark side.

David Finch's movies expand the dark side infinitely.

In some ways, David Finch is good at making scar movies.

David Finch put away his smile, took the script next to him, and said, "I like stories that reflect the dark side of human nature and society. I like this script, and... the heroine in the script!"

Ronan responded: "We can work with this project."

David Finch was silent for a short time, and Ronan didn't speak, quietly waiting for David Finch to make a decision.

This is a standard black project, which not only creates the black style of the film, but also takes into account commercial value. Ronan cannot find a more suitable director candidate than David Finch.

Although David Finch was not a professional and had not studied systematically in film, he joined George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic work in 1980 and participated in the production of many films.

Five years later, David Finch filmed the documentary "Blowing the Drum of Life". With the filming experience and accumulation of personal resources, he got the opportunity to shoot commercial advertisements.

Since then, David Fincher focused on commercial advertising and music MV, and won the Best Director Award at the 1990 MTV Music Video Awards.

Then there is the well-known resume. Twentieth Century Fox came to him and hired David Finch to direct the science fiction thriller movie "Alien 3", and David Finch officially moved to the big screen.

David Finch's films are very visually impactful and have a strong personal style, but because of their long-term role as commercial advertising and music MV directors, they can better express their personal style while having commercial value.

Whether in the past or now, except for the very few films used to make the Olympics, David Finch's works are often full of thrillers and suspense, and the focus of the film directly points to the darkness of human nature and society.

Especially the commercial failure of "Fight Club" allowed David Finch to learn a lot of lessons. While maintaining the characteristics of film noir, the latter films also innovate on the basis of traditional film noir and integrate elements of modern business.

"Mr. Anderson, I'm very interested in this script." David Finch didn't hide this, but as a personality director, a director who has experienced the fucking incident in Alien 3, had some things to say before: "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, there are a few things I have to explain."

Ronan nodded slightly: "Please say."

David Finch said slowly: "I am currently working on a movie project called "The Lord of Dog Town". I have to wait until this movie is completed before I can devote myself to the preparations for the new movie."

"No problem." Ronan knew this: "The schedule can be coordinated, and Relativity Entertainment is not in a hurry for this project."

After the most basic prerequisites were met, David Finch gradually revealed his true intentions: "I have carefully studied the script and have made some basic ideas recently."

Ronan asked: "The script has two endings. I have discussed it with screenwriter Miss Lindsay Bill many times, and finally decided to listen to the director's opinion."

"I suggest choosing the second ending. The heroine is the biggest ridicule of this society." David Finch made her suggestion without hesitation: "She lives more than dies. My ideal style. This movie is a wild black comedy. It makes people feel that society is absurd, and it makes people laugh and feel strongly uneasy, and even makes people feel heartbroken."

"I hope this is another "Seven Deadly Sins." Ronan said his request very directly: "rather than "Fighting Club."

David Finch was not the time to enter the film industry. He understood what Ronan said and said, "I will not ignore the commercial value of the film. I will let the audience watch this film happily, but I will not let the audience leave their seats easily and happily after watching it."

Ronan nodded slowly: "Director Finch, I believe you have this ability."

"Alien 3" was really a big pit, which led to David Finch becoming cautious when taking on any movie project, so as not to cause fierce conflicts with the producers, which would lead to a complete loss of control of the movie.

He did study the script carefully and made some ideas, so he opened his briefcase and took out several obviously carefully prepared storyboard artworks.

The first picture David Finch handed to Ronan was not a painting, but a photo.

A delicate woman in a black career suit, standing in an apartment with her back facing the window.

The apartment was pulling curtains, and dark-toned curtains blocked the windows, making the sky outside look extremely gloomy, causing the light in the room to be dim. A few white decorations appeared blurry gray. The woman in front of the window looked very delicate at first glance. If you look closely, you found that her entire face was covered by shadows and could not be seen clearly.

"This is..." Ronan asked.

David Finch briefly explained: "I was filming in the crew and took advantage of the crew's conditions to shoot this idea of ​​the heroine's apartment, which is also to reflect the style of the movie I had conceived."

Ronan understood that David Finch was not ordinary about this project, but was worried that the producer would intervene too much.

David Finch said: "The temperament of the future film will be very dark." He pointed to the photo: "The dark human society, dark tones, eventually merged into the dark visual aesthetic."

He simply said: "Just like this scene picture, when the heroine walks on the path she chooses, even in the scene where the sun shines, the characters will always be hidden in the shadow."

Ronan combined with the movies he had watched, and he had a feeling that for David Finch, his unique visual aesthetic style and his image world that made the audience feel strongly immersed is also the reason why he was "loved".

In his movies, there are very high standards for the details of each frame in the film, and no frame appears accidentally or randomly.

At the same time, each frame has been analyzed and decided before it can be presented.

David Finch gave Ronan a few storyboard artworks, waiting for Ronan to look through it, and said: "This is the heroine's role in college graduation, which is very representative. The graduation ceremony is held during the day, but I will make people feel like it is at midnight. The sun is white, but I will make the saturation very low, making people feel that the role of sunlight is only responsible for illuminating the venue."

He also said: "But darkness and light are opposite, the tone is dark, and the overall picture is bright, which can highlight a sense of desolation and more in line with the characteristics of the whole movie."

Ronan thought carefully about David Finch's words, and occasionally tried to recall the movies David Finch had filmed, such as "House of Cards" and "The Lost Lover", etc.

David Finch is a very personal director. Because of his bad experience in "Alien 3", even if he is very interested in this movie project, he still chooses to give up if he doesn't get Ronan's promise.

"Yes." Ronan did not ask David Finch to wait too long and made a decision quickly: "Director Finch, you are responsible for the filming from preparation to shooting to post-production, but I have a requirement that the editing version you submitted must satisfy me, and the filming and production of the film will be considered complete."
Chapter completed!
