Conflicts between screenwriters and directors are not uncommon in Hollywood, and there are occasional occurrences in projects operated by Relativity Entertainment, but they are basically controlled within the scope of the crew's arguments and do not allow the conflict to expand beyond the crew.

Film shooting and production, there will never be a group of harmony, two people will have different opinions together, three people can make trouble until there is no water to drink, dozens or hundreds of people, if the coordination is not good, it is not an exaggeration to say that the crew will explode at any time.

If nothing else, a group of elementary school students will be noisy when they stay together, let alone adults.

However, contradictions and controversies must be kept within a reasonable range.

Relativity Entertainment has a good control over this.

Because of Relativity Entertainment's film projects, the crew must maintain the first authority of the producer and the absolute authority of the director on the set.

If a screenwriter and director are out of control on the set, firing the screenwriter is always the first choice.

However, most screenwriters and directors have disputes that are basically business, and screenwriters with a clear head know their status in the industry and will not be stupid enough to challenge the director's authority.

But there are always exceptions.

A screenwriter hired by Shahai Entertainment ran directly to Ronan when he went to the crew of "Life and Death Fight" in preparation and said a lot of bad things about director Uwe Ball.

Since Uwe Ball is also the director and producer of the crew, Ronan specially asked the production manager who handles the daily affairs of the crew and asked about the situation.

"It's not the first time that Mr. Belson has targeted Director Bauer. The production manager said: "Director Bauer is more generous in his work, but Mr. Belson has always thought that there are serious problems with Director Bauer's preparation. ”

Ronan frowned and asked, "What do you think exists?"

The production manager thought back for a moment and said simply: "He thinks Director Bauer's handling of the plot is too simplistic, even ......" He touched his nose embarrassedly: "Even without brains, he can't highlight the theme of the script he created." ”

"What subject?" Ronan grasped the key.

The production manager said: "Humanistic thinking. ”

Ronan said directly: "What kind of humanistic thinking is needed for such a game-based movie? I'll talk to Uwe Ball." ”

Finding Uwe Bauer, who was busy auditioning for actors, Ronan asked, "Just now a screenwriter named Paulson came to me to complain about you, what do you think?" ”

Uwe Bauer touched his increasingly bald head and said: "This screenwriter is hired by me, I think he is indeed talented, but I didn't expect him to think too much." ”

Ronan asked, "Is the script done?"

"It's done. Uwe Bauer said: "Aside from a few unrealistic things, he wrote a good script. ”

Ronan looked at Uwe Bauer, and thought of the screenwriter, who can make Uwe Bauer feel that the script is well written, is probably not very reliable.

Brother Bao is indeed outstanding, but his level as a director is a shortcoming.

"The script was finished, he was paid, and he was asked to leave the crew. Ronan treats such trivial things without the slightest hesitation: "You shoot according to your own ideas." ”

Uwe Bauer thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. ”

Seeing that Ronan didn't want to see the screenwriter, Uwe Ball also made a decision and called the production manager and asked him to tell the screenwriter Paulson to pack up and get out.

The crew signed a writer's contract with Paulson, and as long as Uwe Ball didn't think he needed it, there was no reason for him to stay on the set.

It's just a small episode, Uwe Bauer accompanies Ronan into the studio, the crew is auditioning, and since the main roles are mostly women, beautiful actresses can be seen everywhere.

Among them, there are many people who look like models.

Most of the looks of women who have undergone professional modeling training are obvious.

"There is only one theme for this film. Uwe Bauer's idea was particularly simple: "Beauty plus brutal fights!"

Ronan asked, "Similar to Kill Bill?"

Uwe Bauer denied: "No, it's not like that. He explained: "The action scenes in 'Kill Bill' are mixed with too many kung fu elements and look flashy, and what I wanted to adopt was the style of no-limit fighting, which was realistic and brutal and bloody. ”

If Paul Greengrass said this, Ronan must be looking forward to it, but Brother Bao's realistic and brutal action movie, just listen to it.

The biggest advantage of Uwe Bauer is that he is never discouraged by external blows: "I hired two unlimited martial arts coaches as the action director of the crew, and invited Tris Stretus, known as the queen of wrestling, as the actor of the villain. ”

He said with a smile: "They are very interested in being able to participate in Hollywood film productions, especially Tris Stretus, who idolizes her fellow Dwayne Johnson and thinks that Dwayne Johnson's path is also very suitable for her development." ”

Ronan nodded lightly, in addition to the director's talent and ability, Brother Bao is really speechless in other aspects.

"What about the heroine?" Ronan asked, "Is there a suitable candidate?"

Uwe Bauer said: "For all the main female roles, I plan to use female models who have a certain acting foundation, especially those who have participated in the Victoria's Secret catwalk, most of them are physical, boxing is one of the fitness methods they commonly use, and they have a certain foundation." ”

Ronan said: "With the budget of the crew, it is difficult to invite Victoria's Secret Angels. ”

Uwe Bauer said with a smile: "Most of the models who participate in the Victoria's Secret catwalk every year are not Victoria's Secret signing angels, and some of them should be interested in starring in movies, after all, there are many movie stars in Hollywood who are turned from models." As for the salary, I am confident that I will convince them. ”

Ronan said: "You are in charge of the crew, and you watch and handle it with full authority." ”

"I think the market prospects for this movie are okay, and with the reputation of Relativity Entertainment, it is not difficult to attract female models to participate. Uwe Bauer still wants Ronan to check the gates: "Ronan, is there a future for the combination of beauty and brutal bloody fighting?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "It should be okay." Uwe, the crew used so many actresses, remember to make a fuss about women's rights, especially at the end of the film, where men save the world. ”

Uwe Bauer was ready to grasp Ronan's thoughts: "Don't worry, it's a woman who saves the world." ”

His directing level has not improved, but his understanding of the market environment is clearer: "Ronan, I have carefully watched all the female action movies in the past two years, and the female action characters in Hollywood are becoming more and more popular and bloody. ”

Ronan looked at Uwe Bauer: "Tell me about it." ”

He has always had an idea that if Brother Bao's movie doesn't work one day, he won't give up this talent, but let Brother Bao enter the film production department related to Shahai Entertainment.

Such a talent, who is more reliable in all aspects except for the director's shortcomings, must not be let go easily.

Of course, now directors are also Brother Bao's advantage, how many directors dare to come out and challenge film critics in their fists?

In the past, which professional film critic didn't regard himself as the guiding light of the industry? For any director and actor, he could criticize and scold whenever he wanted.

If the emergence of the Internet has broken the right of film critics to speak in public opinion, then Brother Bao's boxing match shattered the last protective shell of film critics from reality.

Brother Bao's iron fist is dedicated to all kinds of dissatisfaction from film critics.

Uwe Ball did study and said one by one: ""Thunderbolt Angel" and "Tomb Raider", two female action films, can be said to be the symbol of the rise of this genre, both of which are very small in scale, Angelina Jolie is okay, Charlie's three angels are not fighting, they are simply dancing, so the audience quickly got tired of them, and the sequel was not successful. ”

Ronan was somewhat surprised, but didn't interject.

In comparison, large-scale female action movies have achieved good results in the past two years. Uwe Ball spoke in an urn, but it made sense: "Tales of the Night and Resident Evil are both large in scale, plasma is soaring, and Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" has made the genre reach a small ** in the market. ”

He said very seriously: "In Hollywood action movies now, there will always be one or two female-fighting characters, and hand-to-hand combat movies with personal injury as the direct purpose may last for a long time in the future." ”

Ronan agreed: "What you say makes a lot of sense. ”

Uwe Bauer added: "I designed a selling point specifically for the film, in addition to the brutal hand-to-hand combat, the camera will focus on the most attractive parts of the beautiful and sexy actresses, so that the hormones of the film will soar!"

This is a very low-level and cliché way of shooting, but it is also an effective means of attracting audiences.

is the most typical, once Michael Bay's "Transformers", the close-up of Megan Fox's car repair, must have left a deep impression on countless people.

This is the cleverness of Brother Bao, who knows how to attract the audience.

It's not like some directors, their own abilities are average, and they have to make the film in the clouds, and it's strange that the audience can like it.

Uwe Bauer's intention is very obvious, which is to make the film's plasma and hormones fly together, and there are metaphors of sex and violence everywhere.

Ronan finally emphasized one point: "Although it is a game adaptation, the character design must be done well, close to the needs of real life and fighting, and don't make it into the shape in the movie." ”

A realistic live-action movie, making the characters look like in the game, it's really life-threatening!

"I understand. Uwe Bauer said with a smile: "This film, which is said to be a game adaptation, is actually more borrowed from the name of the game. ”

In other words, it is also to fool game fans into entering the theater at the right time.

As for whether it ruins childhood, which movie is not a ruin of childhood?
