Chapter 21 Great God

After getting the actors, John then formed his own crew, Nancy told him yesterday that the crew had been formed, and today he could see the crew list, so John came to Crown Studio early in the morning to wait for Nancy's arrival.

Film is a work that can only be done by a group, and its quality depends not only on the director, but also on the crew to a large extent, so if John wants to ensure the quality of the film, he must first ensure the quality of the crew, at least not let the crew lag behind.

Isn't there such a popular saying on the Internet in later generations: "If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates." John didn't think it made sense.

Not long after, Nancy stepped on the sky-high to come to the Crown Studio, and as soon as she saw that John didn't say hello, she took out a list from the Chanel bag she carried and handed it to John: "John! This is the list of the "royal" crew that the company has set up for you, do you see if there are any problems?"

Nancy deliberately said the word "queen" a little yin and yang, in her opinion, John, a rookie, is not worthy of having a royal crew at all, if it weren't for John's good birth, there is an aunt of the president of ICM, not to mention the royal crew, whether he can sign into ICM is a matter of time.

Although Nancy couldn't fight John on the surface, she still made some small moves secretly. For example, Devin Morgan asked her to set up a crew for John, and she deliberately found some newcomers in the industry and some practitioners who were not well-known, of course, in order to make John and Devon Morgan unable to see her small movements, she still assigned one or two powerful members to the crew.

She did this for only one purpose, that is, to get John Waterloo out of Hollywood as soon as possible, so that she would not have to serve this relationship every day.

John naturally didn't know about Nancy's small movements, but he could hear Nancy's yin and yang weirdness.

It's just that John doesn't want to argue with Nancy, not because he's cowardly, but because he knows that all words are pale and powerless until he proves his strength, and instead of wasting time fighting with Nancy, it's better to think more about how to make a good movie.

John took the list in Nancy's hand and looked at it carefully, and the first thing that caught his eye was the assistant director column of the crew:

Assistant Director: Zack Schneider......

John's eyes shrank when he saw the name, this Zack Snyder was a famous Hollywood commercial film director in later life, directing films such as "300 Warriors: Rise of the Empire", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Justice League".

John had studied his films in his previous life, so he knew a little bit about Zack Schneider.

Zack Schneider is a director who pursues the ultimate personal image style, he is good at adjusting the rhythm of the film in slow motion, has a very unique perspective on violence and gore, and his works are all dark, so when looking at the works, it seems like looking at a thick oil painting.

It is precisely because of his unique style and insights that DC Comics chose to let him direct its comic book characters such as Superman and Batman. But it is precisely because of his style that his works have been subjected to polarized evaluations for a long time, those who like it like it very much, and those who don't like it are very hateful. But no matter what, no one can erase the color he left on commercial films.

The director of Hollywood's personalized commercial film officially entered the film industry in 2004 with a remake of Hollywood's horror film "Dawn of the Living Dead" from the 70s of the 20th century. At this time in 1990, he should have been shooting commercials in a studio and gaining experience!

John didn't expect that his little butterfly just flapped his wings lightly, and it actually changed the fate of Zack Schneider, allowing Zack Schneider to enter the film industry 14 years ahead of schedule, but John feels that this is a good thing, Zack Schneider's directing ability is obvious to all, if there is his help, John's future work will be much lighter, and the big IP plans that John will create in the future will be much easier with Zack Snyder's help.

When John was happy, Nancy next to him was also happy, this Zack Schneider was "specially" found for John from the advertising studio, and she felt that rookie and rookie were the best combination.

After John finished watching the assistant director, he then looked at the next column:

"The Editor: Lee Smith ......"

John was surprised when he saw this name, this name may be unfamiliar to many people, but many people know when it comes to the works he edited, such as "Truman's World", "Batman Dark Knight Trilogy", as well as "Inception", "X-Men: First Class", "Interstellar", "007: Spectre" These are all movies that Lee Smith has edited.

John looked at Lee Smith's name on the list, and his heart was more of joy than surprise at the moment, and at the same time he was sighing that his character was so good, and God finally opened his eyes and looked at him!

It's just that John in the whispering joy naturally doesn't know that he is thanking the wrong person, and the God he wants to thank is not the one in heaven, but the "God" next to him.

Lee Smith was specially recruited by Nancy from a small production company for John, although Lee Smith is known as Hollywood's first scissorman, but that is the future generation, and now he is an editor who has just come to Hollywood for 4 years and has not yet accumulated fame, so he will be arranged by Nancy into John's crew, otherwise how could Nancy be willing.

John stabilized his mind and continued to look down, but when he saw the name in the photographer's column, his newly stable mind jumped wildly again, and the whole person suddenly felt stunned by happiness.

He originally thought that Lee Smith had surprised him enough, but he didn't expect that there would be more surprises.

The reason why John is so excited is that the name written in the photographer column is one of the greatest cinematographers in the history of world cinema: Emmanuel Lubezki.

When mentioning his name, many senior fans will think of "The Revenant", which ended Xiao Lizi's 20-year run, and some senior fans will think of "Birdman" and "Gravity", and some senior fans will think of "Guillotine Valley" and "Son of Man...... Wait a minute.

But more ordinary viewers will think that he has won the Oscar for Best Cinematography 3 times in a row and nominated for 5 Oscars, which is unprecedented domineering, as for whether there is anyone behind it, it is not clear.......

People like John think more about his use of natural light, long lenses, handheld photography, and ultra-wide-angle lenses, as well as the aesthetically pleasing images he presents on the big screen.

John doesn't know where Nancy got this great god for him, but John has the impression that Emmanuel Lubezki's first work will not come out until 1991, and the current great god should have just come to Hollywood to develop!

For this reason, John looked at Nancy a little strangely, and he wanted to ask Nancy if she was a reborn like him, otherwise how could she have recruited the three great gods of Zack Snyder, Lee Smith and Emmanuel Lubezki for himself.

And Nancy looked at the strange look that John cast, and her heart was a little empty, she suspected that John had seen through her manipulation of the crew. Especially for the position of photographer in an important position in the crew, the photographer Emmanuel Lubezki, whom Nancy specially found for John, is a rookie who has just come to Hollywood to develop, not to mention fame, whether he has made a movie or not remains to be investigated.

Nancy looked at John's strange eyes, she knew that she couldn't admit it at the moment, so she pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't ...... much!"

When John heard Nancy's words, he withdrew his eyes and continued to look at the crew list, of course he wouldn't stupidly ask Nancy if he was born again, this kind of unbelievable question would make people mistakenly think that he had a mental problem.
