Chapter 517 Before the release of 'Infernal Affairs 2'!
James Bunter has officially joined the "Spider-Man" crew as a consultant.
Of course, after joining the "Spider-Man" crew, he will not sign his name on the film's staff, nor will he have direct contact with the crew and directors. Instead, after filming a plot every day, Zhou Yang will give the materials to
James Bunter will watch it. After James Bunter has finished watching it, he will give targeted guidance and make corrections. If there are areas where the filming is really unsatisfactory, James Bunter will suggest reshooting.
“The configuration is terrible!”
"I have never seen such a poorly configured crew..."
"The special effects configuration is terrible, the cast configuration is terrible, and the director's level... is not good. Mr. Zhou Yang, I'm sorry to say these things, but I don't think this should be at your level. Even if this is a purely commercial movie,
It can't be photographed so casually..."
"Its camera feel is a bit confusing..."
"..."
James Bunt is the tyrant on the set.
Zhou Yang had heard about it for a long time.
In the past, he didn't think much of it, but when Zhou Yang actually started cooperating with James Bunter in movies, James Bunter treated Zhou Yang and the movie very harshly.
This harshness is almost to the point of being picky.
The original one-day plot took five consecutive days of filming before it was a little decent. After the filming was a little decent, James Bunter criticized the special effects configuration of "Spider-Man".
The special effects of Zheng He's pioneers are really too rudimentary. Although they bought the most advanced motion capture machines and Salina, the special effects manager of Digital Domain, participated in them to help, the staff were still in the eyes of James Bunter.
They are a group of extremely unprofessional laymen.
James Bunter even wanted to personally help contact [Vita Special Effects] to replace all the personnel of the so-called pioneer special effects company in China.
He even used the word "trash" when facing these people.
His harshness did not make Zhou Yang feel uncomfortable or even have a big quarrel with James Bond.
In fact, both of them are the same kind of people. They both have a crazy sense of paranoia about their works, and this paranoia has penetrated deep into their bones.
Zhou Yang maintained a humble attitude from beginning to end, like a sponge, constantly absorbing James Bond's opinions and knowledge.
Zhou Yang is naturally also making rectifications. Although he has not replaced all the staff of the Trail Blazers special effects, he has replaced several batches and implemented them strictly and meticulously in accordance with James Bunter's requirements.
Mid-December.
The weather is getting cold.
James Bunter still curses "Spider-Man" every day in the office and criticizes the new plot every day, but the number of curses is relatively less.
On December 18, after James Bond watched the new plot of "Spider-Man", which was the plot of the protagonist's mutation, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Yang, but remained silent.
Zhou Yang was a little creepy by his eyes, and vaguely felt that a storm was coming. Will "Spider-Man" usher in a new round of criticism?
But the strange thing is that James Bond did not curse, but looked at Zhou Yang.
"Mr. Zhou Yang..."
"Um?"
"You will become an amazing director. I suddenly have some confidence in you!"
"What?"
"Your progress is amazing, and your learning ability is also very strong. At the beginning of the movie, I seemed immature and even unfamiliar, but now, I feel that your techniques are gradually becoming mature..." James Bond praised: "I I even think that you can really lead these ordinary actors to success. The miracle of "Mineral" may be performed again in "Spider-Man"..."
"..."
……………………
December of 2007 was cold.
Especially in the second half of the year, the chill was so deep that it even started to snow lightly in the city of Yanjing, which had not seen snow for a long time.
Wang Shuai wrapped up his clothes.
Feeling a little cold.
He actually doesn't like winter. Winter is too chilling and too stiff for him.
After the filming of "The Crow" was completed, Wang Shuai took over "Infernal Affairs 2".
Except for Zhou Yang who did not participate in "Infernal Affairs 2", the rest of the actors are still the same actors. Well, there are a few new roles, one of which is Li Yaozong, the role of Li Tianwang.
When the filming of the first part of "Infernal Affairs" started, Li Yaozhong Li Tianwang was faced with the choice between "Infernal Affairs" and "Night Walker", and finally chose "Night Walker".
But it is a pity that although "Night Walker" was not badly shot, it was still overshadowed by "Infernal Affairs". At this year's Golden Horse Film Festival, "Night Walker" was in an extremely embarrassing position.
Li Yaozong actually regretted it.
There are rumors that Chen Yongren, the role that Zhou Yang won the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards in "Infernal Affairs", was actually prepared for him.
Therefore, the moment the news of the filming of "Infernal Affairs 2" came out, Li Yaozong immediately contacted Wang Shuai and sincerely hoped that he could play a role, even if he had to reduce his salary.
"Times have changed..."
When "Infernal Affairs 2" was finished filming, Wang Shuai walked out of the crew and recalled the scenes before the filming started and the situation of "Infernal Affairs" being ignored in the first part, and he felt a little emotion in his heart unconsciously.
Who would have thought...
How could a young director who was unknown in Huaxing now become a pillar of the Chinese film industry?
More than two years...
When Wang Shuai recalled it, he still felt like a dream.
It feels like a novel, and they are all supporting characters in this novel.
Of course, the dominance of Hollywood movies still exists!
It's been nearly half a month since it was released.
The popularity of the movie "Time Travel" has not subsided, but has become more and more amazing.
Tieba, Weibo, Soku and other major video websites are full of various analyzes and in-depth explanations about the plot of this movie.
The box office of this movie also reached an astonishing 800 million!
800 million in half a month!
How many will there be in one month? How many will there be after the painting is finished?
Faced with such a behemoth, even Wang Shuai felt the pressure. At the same time, he also felt the booming development of this industry, which was so booming that he felt that he was almost eliminated.
Being eliminated is definitely a painful thing.
He was born in 1970 and is only 37 years old now. He is the youngest among the five generations of directors. Although he has entered middle age, his heart is still full of ambitions.
"Director Wang, the movie "Crazy Stone" is really tenacious in combat. Under the high-pressure pressure of "Time Travel", it can still withstand the pressure. In fact, some of the lines in it have become classic words on the Internet.
The influence of the movie is really great. Many students in our school have taken it as their mantra..."
When Wang Shuai's wife Zhao Fengnian heard Wang Shuai sighing, she couldn't help but interject.
After "Crazy Stone" was released [You insulted my personality first, and now you insult my IQ], [I am very busy, and my career is on the rise now], [Quality, pay attention to your quality], [I support
Your lungs] Waiting lines quickly became popular on the Internet, and this trend even spread offline. As a teacher at Yanjing No. 1 Middle School, Zhao Fengnian has heard too many students learn from "Crazy" during this period.
The actors in "Stone" are talking.
After Wang Shuai heard his wife's discussion, he also had a bit of a smile on his face.
The total box office of "Time Travel" exceeded 800 million in half a month, but the box office of "Crazy Stone" also exceeded 300 million in half a month...
Although the domination of Hollywood movies still exists, and it still slaughters all Chinese movies, at least Chinese movies are no longer like they were before, left to be slaughtered and trembling in humiliation behind the astonishing box office.
"He has sustained this era. Next year, it will be even more exciting. I suddenly have a lot more confidence in that "Spider-Man". Even with the messy actors, the unfavorable subject matter, and the suppression of Hollywood... he may really be
You can rely on your works to tear a hole in the United States!"
Wang Shuai looked at the gray sky and the snowflakes gradually falling, and murmured to himself.
His wife Zhao Fengnian held his hand and nodded along with him.
……………………
"The premiere of "Infernal Affairs 2" seems to be scheduled for December 30th..."
"The last day?"
"Yes, it's the last day."
"Hey, what marketing method will Zhou Yang use this time? Will he use donations again? How much will he donate this time?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Wasn't "Infernal Affairs" the result of donations and marketing? "Infernal Affairs 2" Zhou Yang only provided a script, and the director is Wang Shuai. If this movie is not marketed well, how can it win the box office?"
"Are you questioning Zhou Yang?"
"I'm not questioning Zhou Yang, I'm questioning "Infernal Affairs". However, when you say you question Zhou Yang, I really question Zhou Yang. The movies he directed have a box office of up to 300 million yuan... that is, the script is written
It's just better. "Infernal Affairs 2", tsk tsk, maybe it's another shitty sequel... Any second movie is bullshit..."
"Cao Nima! Do it!"
"You hit me?"
"I'm going to fucking hit you!"
"..."
The filming process of the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" has finally come to an end.
The tired Jiang Ge was ready to go back and take a rest, but he didn't expect that several actors in the crew actually got into a fight over the unrelated movie "Infernal Affairs 2".
And the actor is the protagonist of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin"...
When Jiang Ge rushed to the scene in a hurry, he found that the protagonist Zhen Ziwu was unable to persuade him to fight, but instead his head was smashed open with a stone.
His face was covered with blood, and he was roaring angrily in the crowd, but he still couldn't stand the noisy group...
