626 changed directors again

Recommended song: Tao Zhe - me1ody

"Crescent Moon" doesn't have much left in Fox Town, and after Lee Joon-yi and Kristen Stewart return to the United States, they will summon Taylor Lautner back to the crew, which is expected to be completed in about a week.

At this time, Summit Entertainment announced the filming plan for the third part of the "Twilight" series, "Lunar Eclipse" will be filmed in the second half of this year, and the director will be David Slade. As soon as this news came out, it became the object of heated discussion in the media.

The filming of "Lunar Eclipse" is not unexpected, and when "Twilight" was released, the scripts for "New Moon" and "Lunar Eclipse" were created together, showing Summit Entertainment's confidence in the series. And the huge success of "Twilight" also gave Summit Entertainment enough background color, and when the "New Moon" shooting was about to be completed, it chose that "Lunar Eclipse" would be filmed in the same year.

This time, the media also generally has an attitude of expectation, unlike the original "Twilight" before the release of Summit Entertainment announced that it would start filming "New Moon", the box office myth of the first part has made the media have converged a lot, although the people who pour cold water still exist, but the big multimedia are holding a wait-and-see attitude.

However, the change of director again surprised the media, and they were more with an attitude of watching the excitement. If the director of "Twilight" Catherine Oliveeri really felt that she could not make a second good film in a short time and on a limited budget - in short, because she could not bear the huge pressure, then Chris Weitz, the director of "New Moon", had just praised his harmonious cooperation with Summit Entertainment in a media interview not long ago, and now he has been replaced, which is indeed a big hilarity. Is it the problem of Summit Entertainment itself, or is it really the director's problem?

For the crew members, this is not something that should be considered now, after all, the filming of "New Moon" is not over yet. The matter of "lunar eclipse" is not in the scope of consideration now. But compared to Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, the more leisurely Lee Joon-yi is indeed a little curious.

Changing directors for a series of films is not a big deal, and the "Harry Potter" series has changed several directors. However, the style of each director is different, and in the same series of movies, if the necessary style can be maintained, it is naturally the best, so there are also series of movies that do not change directors, such as "Transformers", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Matrix", etc.

Catherine Olivierieri left the crew voluntarily, but Chris Weitz has always shown great interest in continuing to shoot "Eclipse of the Moon", so changing directors seems to be boring.

However, in a few small talks with Chris Weitz, Li Zhunyi did not feel his depression and unwillingness at all, although there was some loss, but it didn't seem to have much to do with the "lunar eclipse". Lee Joon-yi heard Chris Whitz mention that the film in which he was the producer and Tom Ford was the director, and the current actor is Colin Firth. Some time ago, it was also said that Colin Firth could not appear due to schedule problems, but now after adjustment, the time is okay again. But there seem to be some problems in the discussion of details, so Chris Weitz has been bothering about this matter lately.

Originally, Li Zhunyi didn't plan to ask about the cats inside, after all, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are everywhere, and the relationship between the director and the producer is very sensitive. What happened to Chris Weitz and Summit Entertainment is not something that Lee Joon-yi can manage.

But when Lee Joon-yi and Chris Weitz were chatting, they mentioned this topic, and Lee Joon-yi's straightforward personality still couldn't be changed, so he asked directly, "Chris, why don't you continue to take over the 'lunar eclipse'?"

Hearing this question, Chris Weitz was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Li Zhunyi to ask this question so directly. In fact, he has been asked a lot by reporters recently, and the social rhetoric is "The post-editing of 'New Moon' has not been completed, how can I have time to shoot 'Lunar Eclipse' again." This answer is very convincing.

Indeed, the post-production of "New Moon" was completed more first, and Summit Entertainment arranged the shooting schedule of "Lunar Eclipse" too tightly, which was definitely a serious challenge for the director. Generally speaking, the director must finish the work at hand in order to start a new work and avoid creating confusion of inspiration.

But to be honest, if you insist on hurrying, finish the editing of "New Moon" first, and then start filming "Lunar Eclipse" immediately after, it's not impossible, it's just too rushed.

On top of that, there's also the argument that Chris Weitz's style doesn't lend itself well to "lunar eclipses." "Lunar Eclipse" needs a diffuse dark style, and in the third part, the war between vampires and werewolves, between vampires and vampires, begins to enter the white-hot, and it is also the most contradictory one. And David Slade's style is a perfect fit for this type of film.

David Slade's horror-style "Hard Candy" and the spooky vampire movie "Thirty Polar Nights" are testaments to his mastery of dark subjects. That's why he took over the baton of directing "Eclipse" from Chris Weitz.

But this statement is obviously not very convincing, and it is more like the news released by Summit Entertainment to justify itself in order to praise David Slade. After all, Chris Weitz's style is not much different from "Lunar Eclipse", and Summit Entertainment originally intended Chris Weitz to continue filming "Lunar Eclipse", if Chris Weitz hadn't given up the guide tube first, Summit Entertainment would not have looked for a new director. David Slade also had no chance to stand out from the fierce competition and come to Summit Entertainment.

So, at the end of the day, it's a matter between Chris Weitz and Summit Entertainment.

Chris Weitz paused, his personality is also unruly, otherwise he would not have been angry in the media because the producer of "Golden Compass" was too point-in-point. So in front of Lee Joon-yi, he just hesitated a little and then told the truth, "The post-editing of 'New Moon' is partly the reason, and partly because the film for which I am the producer will enter the official shooting once Colin Firth is convinced." This is the first time I've been a producer of a film, and I want to be able to make it well. ”

This reason is a little more plausible, and the post-editing and the producer of the new movie, these two reasons add up to be very convincing.

"Looks like you've really got a lot of hope for this movie, and you've put so much attention into working with Tom. Li Zhunyi answered with a smile.

Chris Weitz shrugged, "Of course, people always want a better future. If my film is a success, I'll definitely have more opportunities in the future. Although Chris Weitz and his brother Paul Weitz have always been a good partner, people are ambitious, and if they go it alone, they can achieve good results, which is naturally very good for Chris Weitz. "In addition, I also had some conflicts with Summit Entertainment over the remuneration of the 'Lunar Eclipse'. ”

The latter sentence simply states an affirmative sentence without any explanation. But Li Zhunyi nodded meaningfully and did not continue to ask. Although Chris Weitz downplays the third reason, it is probably the most important and decisive reason.

Chris Weitz thinks that the quality of the "Crescent" is very good, and it will definitely do well at the box office, so it is natural that the remuneration will increase when filming the "Lunar Eclipse". In the view of Summit Entertainment, "New Moon" has not yet been released, everything is too early, and it is estimated that it will stick to the bottom line and refuse to back down - although "Twilight" has been a huge success, Summit Entertainment is still a small company after all. Perhaps, Summit Entertainment did not mention Chris Weitz's remuneration at all, and perhaps, Summit Entertainment did not raise the amount that Chris Weitz expected. In short, after the conflict between the two sides, the talks collapsed.

This also explains why Chris Weitz was full of praise for the "New Moon" cooperation before, but did not continue to direct "Eclipse";

However, these are all things decided by Summit Entertainment, and they have nothing to do with actors like Lee Joon-yi. It's just that for the actors of the series films, constantly working with different directors, it always takes time to adapt. And there has long been a tacit understanding between the actors, but the director needs to re-run-in, which is also not good for the crew. But in any case, David Slade's entry into the "lunar eclipse" is already a certainty.

Although the director of "Lunar Eclipse" has been decided, Summit Entertainment has not yet negotiated a new contract with the actors, after all, "New Moon" is still being filmed. This time, it is estimated that the negotiations will be much harder. The success of "Twilight" last time was in everyone's eyes, and there was a standard for judging when talking about a new contract, but this time, before the release of "New Moon", it is estimated that "Lunar Eclipse" will start filming, which is a big problem for agents and Summit Entertainment, and how to formulate the standard of the contract in their hearts.

Lee Joon-yi's filming in the United States is nearing the end, and the "Yi family" in South Korea is also starting to get busy, because their first newcomer is about to make his debut, which has also attracted a lot of attention among the media: what kind of newcomer will Lee Joon-yi, who is now in full swing, launch.
