Chapter 598: Guiding Mel Gibson (12,000 per day, begging for subscription~)

The arrival of Chen Chong and Zunlong made the atmosphere of the scene even more enthusiastic.

Wu Jianye asked about Zunlong's recent situation, only to know that this is still no different from his previous life, after acting in "The Last Emperor", in fact, many crews found Zunlong, not only Hollywood, but also Xiangjiang, RB, but the characters are all the same, Zunlong in order not to repeat his own play, so they all refused, and now he is performing on Broadway, and his life is also free.

However, there are still some things that are a little different from another time and space, such as in another time and space, Zun Long and Chen Chong are not together, and the two are still in love in this life.

After Chen Chong returned to North America, while completing his studies, and at the same time, because he signed a contract with Hera's agent, he had more opportunities to perform in North America, and now she is a well-known Chinese actress in Hollywood, and I believe that after the release of "Western Regions Dragon", she will be even more famous.

The release schedule of "Western Regions Weilong" has been scheduled for this year's Christmas schedule in North America.

It's a very good schedule.

However, it is precisely because of this that Chen Chong has no idea of returning to China at this time, but Wu Jianye has no opinion on this, everyone has their own ambitions.

.......

Although the estate in Beverly Hills has been renovated, Wu Jianye still hasn't lived here for too long, and news came from David Fincher that the filming location in New York has been coordinated.

So Wu Jianye officially moved to New York with the film crew and crew actors!

Regardless of the movie "People and Ghosts", the media in North America are not optimistic, but since the beginning of the preparation of this movie, it has received great attention, and the popularity has not decreased, first at the beginning, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani kissed at the airport, and then Isabel Adjani moved out of the hotel, and at the final press conference, several leading actors choked the media.......

has brought great popularity to this movie, so now that the film has officially started filming, how can reporters in North America not pay attention to it.

So with the news that this movie is about to officially start filming, many media companies have sent reporters to follow the filming, wanting to dig out more black material.

Anyway, for North America now, the movie "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is politically correct.

However, Wu Jianye did not let these people get their way, Hollywood movies did not have a so-called opening ceremony, and the previous press conference was actually an official notice.

But when it came to the official filming now, Wu Jianye played a mysterious game and didn't let the media take pictures at all, even for outdoor scenes, Wu Jianye found a lot of security guards and blocked reporters outside, it can be said that this confidentiality measure is the strictest one Wu Jianye has done since he filmed the movie!

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many media reporters.

And the direct consequence is that the movie was sprayed by major magazines.......

Now the main argument is that everyone thinks that Wu Jianye is already lacking in confidence, and he doesn't even have the most basic media open day.

It's not that Wu Jianye is deliberately targeting these media, mainly because this is his first time directing a Hollywood movie, and there is a big difference between Eastern and Western film shooting.

First of all, in terms of treatment, filming in China or in Xiangjiang, continuous rotation is almost commonplace, but in North America, it can't be like this, there is a perfect system here to ensure the rights and interests of all staff to the greatest extent, how long to shoot every day, what time to eat, there are regulations.

When the contract is formally signed, all possible problems will be marked in the contract, and there are so many rules and regulations that there is no way to compare with them in China.

In fact, China has been talking about catching up with Hollywood and overtaking European films, not to say a few excellent movies, or to catch up with the box office at what height, but the system of the entire industry must keep up, of course, the meaning here is not to let the country completely copy the Hollywood system, but more to have its own system according to its own characteristics.

This is the same as domestic football, not that changing some coaches can solve the problem, the coaches of the national football team have changed one after another, from domestic to foreign, and even invited the world's famous coaches with the highest salary in the world, what can it do?

The results are there, but in the final analysis, the football environment in the whole country is not good.......

Although Phantom Entertainment is now an upstart in Hollywood, it is still not qualified to challenge such rules, and Wu Jianye also needs to shoot his own "Ghost Love" in these rules!

In fact, it is fortunate that they were not filmed, otherwise the news about the discord within the crew of "People and Ghosts" would have made headlines the next day.

"Mel, what were you doing just now? Do you think you're still a Rigger policeman, you're a bank executive, and your performance just now is really a bunch of shit!" Wu Jianye reprimanded Mel Gibson mercilessly on the set.

Mel Gibson grimaced, obviously suppressing his anger, but he didn't refute it, because he had just behaved badly.

Then Wu Jianye announced this remake.

In the process of filming, there are things that make Wu Jianye angry, and naturally there are things that make him feel comfortable, the movie has been filming for two days, at least the dedication of these actors still makes Wu Jianye more satisfied, although it has just started shooting, but most of them can quickly integrate into their roles.

Even Tony Godwin, who played such an important role for the first time, performed very well, although there would be mistakes, but it had exceeded Wu Jianye's expectations.

As for Isabelle Adjani and Whoopi Goldberg, there is no problem, Isabelle Adjani has already gotten the script of "Ghost Love" since the beginning of the year, and she has been studying this script for almost half a year, and at the same time, the role of Meili in the movie is much smaller than the roles she played before.

As for Whoopi Goldberg's performance, it is enough for Wu Jianye to describe her performance as amazing.

"Good!" When the work was finished, Wu Jianye gave a thumbs up to Whoopi Goldberg!

Whoopi Goldberg's role as Ota is equivalent to a funny role in the movie, but Whoopi Goldberg can still make this character perform with a very strong sense of layering.

"Thank you. Whoopi Goldberg is also very happy, through two days of observation, although Wu Jianye's ability is not completely certain, but Whoopi Goldberg's doubts have been reduced a lot, on the set, Wu Jianye's advice can often be hit.

Sometimes it's a simple position, and when she stands there according to Wu Jianye's instructions, she can feel the aura herself, and it is different at that time.

However, the most headache for Wu Jianye is Mel Gibson, who had problems with the previous shooting, not that Mel Gibson had an excessive performance on the set, as a famous actor in Hollywood, he actually cherishes his feathers very much, if it is not too contrary to his own ideas, they are also very willing to listen to the director's opinion.

Of course, everything is just beginning now, as for what happens later, there will definitely be problems, and now everyone is still in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and with the deepening of the shooting, various problems will still appear.

When the time comes, it's time to see Wu Jianye's directing skills,

The first potential problem that arises now is Mel Gibson, who has just finished filming "Lethal Weapon 2" and has not yet completely stepped out of the role of Rigger.

Sam in "The Ghost Is Not Over" is a relatively helpless character, even when he is not dead at the beginning, he is not a tough character.

Mel Gibson, on the other hand, is very easy to show his tough side, which is inconsistent with Sam's character.

In the two days of filming, Mel Gibson was the actor who stopped the most.

It can be seen from his gloomy face that his mood is also very gloomy.

"Mel, do you have time at night?" Wu Jianye asked, as for the anger at the time of filming, it had disappeared.

For Hollywood actors, today's shooting is completed, which means that their work today has been completed, and the rest of the time is personal time, and the crew has no right to discuss work with them.

Mel Gibson carried his coat and stood in front of Wu Jianye: "What's wrong?"

"Dinner together at night?" Wu Jianye said.

Mel Gibson nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then the two went to a café, and during the filming of the movie, Hollywood actors were strictly drinking, and of course this unspoken rule slowly disappeared later.

"Your performance is very bad!" Wu Jianye didn't say anything more to Mel Gibson, and pointed out Mel Gibson's problem straight to the point.

"Sam's character is unlike any other you've played before, he's not a police officer, he's a bank executive!"

Mel Gibson looked at Wu Jianye and asked, "That's why you scolded on the set!"

When Wu Jianye was filming a movie, he was not a calm and elegant director, although Hollywood has all kinds of rules and regulations, but in the final analysis, Wu Jianye is still the director of this play, and when filming, all the actors must follow his requirements to shoot.

Wu Jianye said bluntly: "Yes, you can feel your own performance before, otherwise you wouldn't have stopped talking at that time, even Tony's performance in the past two days is much better than yours, do you want to wait for the movie to be released, you will be said to be inferior to Tony?"

Mel Gibson stopped talking, as Wu Jianye said, his own performance was clear to himself, and his performance in the past two days was indeed unsatisfactory.

Wu Jianye saw that Mel Gibson did not speak, so he knew that he was thinking, at this time Wu Jianye did not interrupt his thinking, and sometimes he realized that he was more impressed than the help of others.

"Actually, I know all of this, but when I'm performing, I always subconsciously do it. Mel Gibson thought for a moment before saying.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Understanding the process of success is fundamentally different from real success, and some people may not be able to really complete the process in the middle." ”

"Your problem is that you haven't really seen yourself as a bank executive yet, I know that when you were filming "Lethal Weapon" before, you went to the police station to observe the behavior of real police officers, but after you received the script of "Ghost Love", did you really understand this profession?"

At this time, Wu Jianye was not a director or a director, but more like a friend, teaching Mel Gibson how to perfectly show Sam's state.

Mel Gibson's face was slightly red, he really didn't do what Wu Jianye said during this time, even if Mel Gibson wanted to open up his other way of acting with this movie, and at the same time expand his market in Europe, but in the end, he was still influenced by the North American media.

Even during the press conference, he himself scolded the media reporters.

This subtle effect may not even be noticed by himself, but it is real.

Wu Jianye continued: "I know that you have always had the habit of insisting on fitness, I need you to stop exercising from today, and at the same time, if you have nothing to do at night, you can read books on finance, you don't need to deliberately understand, just so that you can better integrate into this role." ”

Mel Gibson nodded, at this time, he had been persuaded by Wu Jianye.

Then Wu Jianye didn't talk about filming anymore, the two just chatted about some inconsequential topics, but at the end, Wu Jianye said: "I don't have time to wait for you to slowly become familiar with this role, you need to overcome these difficulties yourself, if you still have problems in future shooting, I will still reprimand you mercilessly!"

Mel Gibson smiled: "Don't worry, if it's a real suggestion, I'll accept it with an open mind!"

The two then shook hands and said goodbye.

Directors and actors don't have to be friends, just as Jordan and Pippen weren't friends during the Bulls' two triples, but they were close partners on the court.

Wu Jianye needs Mel Gibson's performance to make "Ghost Love" a classic, and Mel Gibson also needs this movie to continue his career!

The crew actually stayed in a hotel, but Wu Jianye didn't plan to go back to the hotel today, but went to Li Xiuming's apartment.

It's been a few days since I came to New York, and Wu Jianye has been busy with the matter of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", so he hasn't gone to see Li Xiuming.

When it was finished today, Li Xiuming called Wu Jianye, if it wasn't for helping Mel Gibson quickly integrate into the role, Wu Jianye would have been in the apartment at this time!
