Seeing that Leonardo's own explanation was still a bit confusing, Yi Feiyang explained to him more directly: "Leon, you have always played a fighter, whether it is a hero who sacrifices for love in "Titanic" or "New York".
The man who avenges his family in "The Gang", so all you have to do now is to put down all the shadows of the characters you have created in the past, say goodbye to the past completely, and perform a more realistic Jack."
Yi Feiyang looked into Leonardo's eyes. Leonardo still looked confused. Yi Feiyang sighed in his heart, knowing that the other person was in a bottleneck and couldn't get out. It can be said that this Hollywood star has the most potential.
Xiaosheng, although he works hard, is still a little behind in performance. No wonder he tried to win the Oscar for Best Actor several times in the future, but ended up losing to different opponents, which makes people sigh.
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang could only use his index finger and thumb to pinch together and make a "very small" gesture, tempting Leonardo and saying: "Leon, I know you don't understand now, as long as I let you make a small
With a little training, I can make you understand, are you willing to accept this training?"
"Of course... I am willing." Leonardo obviously hesitated, but he still didn't quite believe what Yi Feiyang said.
"Okay, let me explain to you in advance. This training is a bit weird. If you really want to, we can sign a liability exemption agreement first. I'm afraid you will cause trouble for me." Although Yi Feiyang's words sounded like this,
He was joking, but his expression was really serious.
"Haha, what kind of training, Leon, just promise him and let me open my eyes too!" Luc Besson smiled and hugged Leonardo's shoulders, "In the worst case, I will ask you to be the leading actor when I start a movie.
Then you’ll have both sides of France and Hollywood eating it all!”
"Of course. As long as it's for the good of the movie." Leonardo nodded resolutely after thinking for a few seconds. Although he didn't know what Yi Feiyang wanted to do, after so many things, he had no reason to doubt it.
Yi Feiyang's decision was made. As director and producer, Yi Feiyang is the real king in the crew.
Yifeiyang asked someone to draft a very simple liability exemption agreement.
In a moment, everything is fine.
"Yi, what kind of training is this? You can start now." Leonardo said impatiently. He wanted to see what kind of medicine Yi Feiyang was selling in his gourd.
"Training is actually not difficult." Yi Feiyang looked at him and said calmly: "I will put you in a small room for three hours. There are mirrors all around, and you stay alone with the script, right?
Yes, no matter where you look, you can see yourself, or you can see 'Jack' in the play!"
"Of course. This method is very evil. You may feel depressed, depressed, or even mentally unbearable. So when you encounter this kind of problem, you can scream loudly and I will let you out.
It’s just that I’m afraid that this training will be in vain.”
In fact, to put it bluntly, although they have signed a liability exemption agreement, everything still depends on the actor's self-consciousness. The director does not illegally imprison any actor.
"Understood, as long as the filming opportunity is not delayed, I will complete this training." Leonardo nodded decisively. Although it sounded a bit abnormal, in order to play the role well, he was absolutely willing to try it. As a person of his level
An actor, he is willing to do anything in order to improve his acting skills and compete for the Oscar winner in the future.
"Okay, let's start now." Yi Feiyang made arrangements, cleaned up the prop room, and then moved in a few large mirrors. After simply preparing everything, he stuffed Leonardo inside.
"Put all your belongings outside, don't leave anything behind." Yi Feiyang instructed, Leonardo also shrugged indifferently, not afraid of this "prisoner" treatment, he
He is not an ordinary actor, but a performance madman who can really give everything for the role. As long as it is for the good of the role, he can do all crazy things. What's more, in Leonardo's opinion, it's only three hours, so it will be very fast.
past.
The room was very narrow. It was originally used for placing props, but now there were many floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Leonardo looked around and saw that there was a person of himself in each mirror, who was either shocked, confused, or in a daze.
He didn't know if the method Yi Feiyang said was effective, but one thing he knew very well was that he was trying to do something very interesting.
Leonardo looked at the mirror. If he was standing there, then what was in the mirror was his clone.
"Maybe, let's start!" He picked up the script, looked through the content about his character, and then made various expressions and actions in the mirror.
Time passed slowly.
Leonardo suddenly felt that everything around him became very dark and depressing, and he seemed to be smiling at himself in the mirror.
He knew that he had encountered a challenge, or to be precise, he had encountered an acting bottleneck. He did not expect that it would come so quickly. He took a deep breath hard, tried to calm down his emotions, and told himself that he was just trying to figure out whether it was...
Yeah, trying to figure it out.
As time went by, sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring some kind of torture. In the mirror, his veins were already exposed, and his face was hideous.
…
Three hours.
When Yi Feiyang opened the door, he saw Leonardo kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely and panting.
He looked at Yi Feiyang, and Yi Feiyang looked at him.
Yi Feiyang asked him, "Is it done?"
Leonardo nodded.
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Okay, now do you need to take a rest?"
Leonardo shook his head and said: "While that feeling hasn't left yet, let's start quickly!"
The subsequent filming was completed in one go. There was almost no superfluity in the character created by Leonardo. In Yi Feiyang's view, he was simply a flesh-and-blood real person!
Leonardo's sudden performance surprised Luc Besson. In his opinion, the Leonardo who acted just now was a completely different person from the one before.
Could it be said that China Yi really trained him to become a master of acting? Just by locking him in a small dark room and performing in front of the mirror?!
Incredible, really incredible!
If Luc Besson had just watched Yi Feiyang's filming for fun before, now, he is full of admiration for Yi Feiyang!
No wonder China's Yi can dominate Hollywood. With such skills, what can't he do in the future?!
…
While Yi Feiyang was working overtime to film in France, Spielberg in the United States was also speeding up the filming of his highlight film "The Terminal".
For this film, Spielberg devoted countless efforts, not only inviting his favorite actor Tom Hanks to star, but also invited the Oscar-winning actress to help out.
Due to tight security measures, the crew was unable to shoot in a real airport, so Spielberg tasked his production designers with designing and building a full-scale, functional airport terminal where nearly all filming would be completed.
In the end, the airport in Spielberg's mind was built in a large hangar in California. It took 200 craftsmen several weeks to complete it. The three-story building is an all-steel structure with a total of 60,000 square feet.
Granite floor. There are 4 electric escalators in the airport. The escalators are specially installed in the studio for filming movies.
Since the built airport must have the proper functions, every drawing completed by the art department must be carefully reviewed by professional engineers, and even every simple solder joint cannot be ignored. Among all design work, the largest scale is
The huge background outside the airport glass window is surrounded by three sides to create a night view of the airport. A total of 2,000 miniature lamps are installed in the entire background. Blue screen technology is used when the aircraft approaches the terminal.
In order to create the effect of sunlight shining through the glass on the terminal, the crew installed 100,000 watts of lighting equipment on the steel beams above the set. They will shine on the reflective materials covering the entire set. The reflected light will shine through like sunlight.
In addition, Spielberg's cinematographer Kaminsky also used the color in the light to convey the change in the situation of the actor Victor. When the main shooting came to an end, the crew moved to Mirabell Airport in Montreal
For filming, United Airlines also provided a Boeing 747 for a key scene in the film.
It can be said that Spielberg's film used all his interpersonal relationships and spent countless manpower and material resources. Although it does not have as many special effects designs in his previous films, it has some more real things, making this film more realistic.
The play appears more real and vivid.
On this day, just after filming, Spielberg heard someone say that someone was waiting for him outside.
After briefly telling the people around him, Spielberg walked out, only to see his equally famous director James Cameron standing there waiting for him.
"Hey, old man, why don't you go in but you have to wait here?" Spielberg asked.
"I'm afraid of disturbing your filming! Well, why not, how about we have a drink nearby?"
"Of course, we haven't chatted together for a long time!"
After a while, in a nearby bar.
Spielberg and Cameron were holding two large glasses of draft beer respectively and laughing and chatting.
"To be honest, Kagome, are you worried about my film?" Spielberg asked.
"Yes, I am worried that you will lose to that Chinese Yi."
"Why?"
"Because we are all from Hollywood, but we lost to a Chinese, don't you think it's very embarrassing?"
"Oh no no." Spielberg shook his head, "Your ideas are too narrow. In my opinion, Hollywood is a public place that does not belong to anyone, and as directors we have to help each other, don't we?"
"Haha, you haven't changed yet, old man. You are too kind to understand the unpredictable nature of people's hearts, especially the ambitions of outsiders!" Cameron sneered.
"Ambitions of outsiders? Are you talking about China? Oh, I admit this. I have had a lot of contact with him. He is indeed an ambitious young man. But don't forget, man, you and I both grew up with ambitions.
Times have passed! I think back then, you and I were nothing. We didn’t even have a bite to eat. We were doing special effects and doing odd jobs on the set. But it was the ambition to constantly pursue improvement that made us who we are.
Isn’t this an achievement today?”
"It's different! Our ambition is just to get ahead and make good movies! But what about China Yi, do you know what his ambition is? He wants to annex the entire Hollywood!" Cameron said with a cold expression.
"Annexing Hollywood?" Spielberg was startled, "Oh God, this is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible! Haven't you noticed the development speed of his Dream Entertainment? Even your DreamWorks didn't have such an amazing speed back then. It was only six years old, man. Dream Entertainment has become an industry giant. If it continues
Give him six years, or even ten or eight years, what do you think it will be like by then?" Cameron said solemnly.
"By then, there may be no seven major companies in Hollywood. Without DreamWorks, you and I will also lose our careers, and we will all become his working class!"
"This...I don't know how to explain it...but Yi can't be that kind of person!" Spielberg took a sip of wine.
"Nothing is impossible, man! You know, there are no absolutes in this world. No one can predict the future, right? And what you and I have to do is to prevent the most terrible things from happening and do our best!"
"Oh, Lao Ka, you are so pessimistic! The world will not become so bad, we must have hope for the future!"
"Hope? I think hope must be earned by oneself!"
"Okay, don't talk anymore. Let's just have a drink and ignore this annoying topic!"
"Okay, old man, let's toast! Come on, I wish you a great victory and a big defeat of China Yi!" Cameron clinked glasses with Spielberg.
Although he didn't really listen to Cameron's words, these words also left a shadow in Spielberg's heart.
…
Hollywood's Christmas season is about to begin. Starting from October, a series of Hollywood blockbusters have been released one after another. If the schedule is divided into upper, middle and lower, then now is the early stage, but even so, the competition is still fierce.
The first thing that attracts attention is the period drama "The Age of Era" directed by the great director Gary Ross. This drama received a North American premiere box office of 40.87 million as soon as it was released. As an inspirational film with a strong literary and artistic nature, it can be said that it has
The results have been very good.
The film is a typical inspirational movie, and the historical background of the Great Depression makes it from a certain perspective an epic and portrait of the soul of that era. In addition to describing the main characters, the film also touches many ordinary people in the background of the era.
The black-and-white photos and narrations of the Great Depression that are always interspersed are the grand background of the era that the director tried to extract and express. Several highly affecting horse racing and speech scenes in the film seem to be separated from the calm historical statements, but
And in the jagged interlacing of images, we can clearly feel the hope and spiritual fire that were faintly beating and refused to be extinguished during the most depressed era in American history. The interval between color and black and white only intensifies this feeling.
After the play was released, due to the special background of the times and the influence of the original novel, it immediately received very good reviews from the audience.
"We watched as we wished, the little jockey and his beloved racehorse slowly disappearing on the screen. The bleak black and white background of the early 1930s of the last century may have become ashes of history as the movie ended, but we knew that,
As long as you stare at the trembling little flames in the depths of Seabiscuit's brown eyes, and as long as you think of bits and pieces of images about this movie, you will arrive at the exciting life that everyone longs to dream back to."
"When Seabiscuit stands behind the white fence at the starting point again and again, the fences at the turning points of life are also opened to people who are trapped and frustrated. You can never know what is waiting for the next intersection in life, so never stop.
Running around, fighting without stopping."
"Why is a short horse with a handicap able to win countless races? What makes it adopt an almost self-destructive racing method of turning without slowing down? When Sebi Scott's eyes were wet with sweat, he turned slightly to look at his opponent.
When talking to the audience, I think everyone felt the fire burning deep in their souls."
"After watching this movie, if you touch your and my chest, will there be something beating forever? Don't give up easily, and you will reach the exciting end of life in your dreams."
…
Due to the good word-of-mouth effect, the box office of this movie continues to soar, making the distributor and producer Universal smile from ear to ear. However, for Universal's executives, what they want is not only a good box office, but also a good box office.
There are future expectations for the Oscars.
In addition to the eye-catching inspirational blockbuster "The Age of Fate", the next one to be released in the early Christmas season is the historical blockbuster "The Last Day" released by 21st Century Fox Film Company.
This drama stars Russell Crowe, a late-blooming Hollywood superstar. Ever since he became famous for starring in "Gladiator", Russell Crowe has been in many roles, and he has also played various roles in various dramas to give full play to his acting skills.
As for the director of this drama, it is the great director Peter Weir. This guy directed the popular "The Truman Show", but what makes him even more talked about is that he has a keen eye for picking up the stars and making hits with one hand.
By Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson.
Funded by Fox Company for US$1.2 billion, "The Big Sea" re-creates the simple but explosive life of the British Navy. The filming of the film required hundreds of sailors, scholars, sculptors, and casters from four continents.
, naval architects, actors and technicians.
During the five-and-a-half-month filming process, most of the time was spent at the Fox filming base near Mexico. The crew used the 50-foot-tall one that Cameron spent a lot of money to build when filming "Titanic".
A giant pool holding 20 million gallons of water.
The Miracle was modeled after a replica of the French Revolutionary battleship Rose, which the crew spent US$1.5 million on. It was then shipped to Mexico via the Panama Canal for all-round filming.
Such a large-scale and meticulously produced blockbuster earned more than 80 million U.S. dollars at the box office on its first day upon release. Such results finally gave investors 21st Century Fox a lot of peace of mind. But what made them even more happy was the overwhelming praise.
evaluation.
"This is a film that most viewers can relate to, from the smoldering battles to the frightening scenes of raging storms. Peter hoped that Into the Wild would become the best film of our time - and he did.
.”
"This is an awe-inspiring action movie, especially the grand war scenes, which directly captured our eyes!"
“Russell Crowe Gladiator Returns!”
…
Fox's "The Last of Us" has really become a masterpiece of super blockbusters. Compared with Universal's "Running on the Road", this drama has a more commercial feel. Therefore, it is better than the other at the box office.
But this is all just the beginning, and the real decisive battle has yet to come. At least there are other Christmas blockbusters from major companies that have not been released. These include Spielberg's "The Terminal" and Yi Feiyang's "Lust, Caution"
》!
These two dramas are also the two most promising Christmas "race horses" by the outside world. The main reason is that the production costs of these two dramas are no worse than the two blockbusters above, and the director's reputation is even greater, so
It is also expected by many movie fans to be the ultimate winner of the Christmas season.
