The photographer of Manchester by the Sea approached Emmanuel Lubezki.

This is what Shen Mengxi wanted!

Emmanuel Lubezki is very good at shooting wide-angle shots, which is very suitable for "Manchester by the Sea", this film is said to be documentary style, but it is not a real documentary, and it requires a lot of interpolated images to express emotions...

For example, the undulating sea, the empty shot of the town...

These require a good photographer!

The story itself is relatively bland, and with the bleak shots, it really becomes a documentary!

Therefore, Shen Mengxi is not an ally in the entire crew, and after listening to his first sentence, Emmanuel nodded very applaudedly: "In fact, I have prepared a lot of air-cut materials to express the characters!"

"Yes, it's a very sad movie, Mark Twain once said: reality is always more absurd than drama, because its suddenness is nowhere to be found. Lee won't reconcile with himself, nor will he reconcile with the past, but he won't die either, and the whole story is just the depression of a middle-aged man, and the calm is terrifying. ”

"There are many kinds of tragedies in the world, some will be carried away by time, and some will never be, "Manchester by the Sea" is the latter, not all tragedies have answers, sometimes life is so bitter, born as a human being, you have no choice. ”

After a few simple words, and was about to ask the crew what they thought, Xiao Lizi asked: "Then what kind of image do you want Li to be?"

"Silent, wooden-faced, and occasionally hysterical..."

"How are you going to tell this story?"

"Two timelines, interspersed, no tricks, this is a narrative-oriented movie!"

"One more question!"

"You say!"

"When are we going to shoot?"

"I wanted to wait for the snow, but Leon didn't have enough time, and he had to shoot 'The Body of Lies' in December..."

"So what?"

"In two weeks, let's finish the shoot in two weeks, and next year we will go to the Sundance International Film Festival... Then there is Cannes, Toronto..."

Mike interrupted him, "This is something to discuss with the company..."

"What's there to discuss, our movie shows that we want to take the route of rushing for awards!"

......

Shen Mengxi doesn't particularly care about Mike Madavoy's opinion, "Manchester by the Sea", after Xiao Lizi joined, there was basically no need for Twentieth Century Fox to intervene...

This is a literary film!

You can find any company to work with!

Xiao Lizi is also one of the producers, so if Shen Mengxi is willing, he can join forces with Xiao Lizi to kick out the twentieth Fox, and then find a distributor.

However, he is here to film, not to fight for power.

So, the mind is very peaceful.

But it is impossible for him to leave the crew, he has to take the crew to survey the location and choose the specific shooting scene...

You also have to make the storyboard artwork into different scripts according to the plan - how many shots need to be shot in each scene, which camera positions to try, to what extent the actors' emotions need to be developed or controlled at this time...

It's up to the director to call the shots!

Fortunately, he knows everything about this thing - this thing belongs to the most basic things of the director.

Shen Mengxi followed a bunch of crews in his last life, and he also tried to shoot big online movies, so it was difficult for him!

Of course, during the preparation period, there are still a lot of troublesome things, the crew's affairs, it is easy to solve, he just needs to go back to the room, interact with the fairy sister, and be a dragon knight a few times and it will be fine...

Once there is an outlet for anger, it is very convenient!

Otherwise, if you keep it in your heart, you will be prone to depression...

But there are some things that are completely unexpected.

For example, the promotion of "Painted Skin".

Specifically, because of the hype, the story of the love triangle of Buffett Zhao, Chen Kun, and Xiao Ming, this is the promotional material set before...

At the beginning of September, it has spread all over the Internet...

It was originally a good thing, and the hype was beneficial to the promotion of "Painted Skin", but then it intensified, and a bunch of people on the end of the world said that Buffett Zhao is Chen, no one knows who the child's mother is, Kun's child's biological mother...

It's like the real thing!

It's as if they had seen it with their own eyes!

Anyway, Liu Yifei, who often visits the end of the world, came to ask Shen Mengxi if it was true...

How to say it, some media broke the news before, saying that 'the biological mother is a first-line actress'...

Therefore, many people have already suspected Buffett, in addition to the close personal relationship between the two, Buffett has been exposed many times to accompany his son to celebrate his birthday with Brother Kun...

"Of course it's fake! Do you think it's so simple to have a baby, and the child will come out with a fork? What about getting pregnant in October! Do your own calculations, how busy Buffett was in those years, how could he have time to have children?"

"Let me tell you, Tianya's revelations are basically nonsense, and some people say that you are transgender!"

Pinched her granary and asked, "Are you transgender?"

", you're transsexual!"

Liu Yifei slapped him away, and then asked, "Why are there more rumors now?"

"The hype is overblown!"

It's really overhyped, Chen Kun, Buffett Zhao, including Brother Xiao Ming, all called and said that they were very dissatisfied...

Including Brother Xun's agent has called-and also hyped a lot of weekly news, which is not hype, it is to print her ex-boyfriends into a roster, proving that she can handle the fox spirit Xiaowei well...

Then she was quoted by a bunch of media, and then she became synonymous with amorous ...

Amorous is just a better word, and most netizens commented that she used another word...

Shen Mengxi didn't hide it, and told Liu Yifei all this, and the latter was a little panicked: "Then what are you going to do?"

“... According to the original plan, they will be arranged to go to variety shows to clarify, and continue to increase the popularity of "Painted Skin"!"

“... Huh? You don't care?"

"the fart, the current situation is clearly that someone is pushing the flames behind and deliberately bringing the rhythm..."

"So what?"

Shen Mengxi did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "... No, what do you think is the most important thing for an actor?"

“... I don't know, what is it?"

"Works, only when the works are successful, you have the confidence to speak... No matter how outsiders follow the trend and bring the rhythm, the popularity of "Painted Skin" is rising, as long as the movie is successful, everything else is secondary!"

"Do you think so?"

Liu Yifei turned his head and looked at him seriously.

"That's what I think, but let's call a few protagonists to apologize first... Then tell them that the prepared clarification materials will be arranged for people to enter their post bar and Tianya post on the day of the movie's release..."

"Do you have anything to clarify?"

"Of course, we just want to hype "Painted Skin", and we don't want to stir up relationships!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "I have to continue to cooperate with them, I can't make a fuss, especially Zhou Xun, she is the soul of "Painted Skin"..."

Liu Yifei was speechless and pushed him away: "You go watch TV, I'll play with the computer!"
