For the film that Don wanted to direct, more than 95% of the shots required post-processing. Except for one set of scenes that had to be filmed in the Nevada desert, most of it was done in the studio.

Because of the fixed filming location and the ease of the green screen set, it is estimated that the shooting period of the entire film will not exceed 80 days.

It's likely that Donn will finish filming the entire film before the North American release of My Grand Greek Wedding.

However, it is estimated that the post-processing of the entire film can take up to 10 months.

Fortunately, before the filming of the movie started in May, some special effects had already begun to be produced, and they could be composited in post-production. Post-production will be completed in March next year, and in mid-May, it will be officially screened to the world.

Now, the appearance of director Don En has brought a lot of confidence to the entire crew.

Not to mention the success of "Titanic", just "My Grand Greek Wedding" is already a legend.

A comedy, costing $15 million, and having an overseas box office of over 100 million, this brings Hollywood no less shock than last year's big ship!

So don't look at Don En young, his authority and status in the crew are no worse than George Lucas.

In particular, Ben Affleck, who played "Obi-Wan", thanked Donn again and again.

He'd heard for a long time that he was able to get the role because Done Walker had a heated argument with George Lucas and then ...... Victory.

Ben Affleck is 1.93 meters tall, weighs 80 kilograms, has a strong body, has a ridged face, and is a tough guy actor. Being able to participate in a movie like Star Wars will undoubtedly make his star path smoother.

Now, Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace is about to shoot its first set of footage.

This set of shots takes place in the republic's top secret elders' house, and is divided into four parts.

1. The Elder assigned a mission to the two Jedi Knights to go to Nabu to rescue Queen Padmé Amidala in crisis.

2. Two Jedi knights return from Nabu to tell about the plight there.

3. Jedi Knight Kuigang said that he found a nine-year-old slave child on the desert planet Tatu, Anakin Skywalker, and planned to take him as an apprentice, but was rejected by the Council of Elders.

4, Quigang was killed in a duel with Darth Moore, and the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan adhered to his will and hoped to take Anakin as an apprentice, and the Council of Elders agreed.

These are the four main shots that run through the entire film, and because they take place in the same scene, they are shot together.

The set had been set up in the studio, and two people were sitting on the four elder chairs. The other two empty seats will be filled with animated characters in post-production.

Liam Neeson's "Quigang King" and Ben Affleck's "Obi-Wan Kenobi" walked out of the door at the end of the corridor and came to the solemn Presbyterian Chamber.

"Guys!" Don stared at the viewfinder for a moment, then walked over to the two male actors, and said with a smile, "Remember, you are Jedi Knights, I want you to show the firmness and bravery that Jedi Knight possesses, walk smartly, and have a cold expression!"

It's not good for Donn to tell Liam Neeson directly, after all, he is very old, but this acting skills are ...... It's really bad, yes.

After admonishing a few actors, Don walked over to the assistant directors, checked their tools, and went around in a big circle before returning to his director's seat, looking at the Star Wars set with this exquisite set, as if there was an instant rush of energy into his body.

Another movie, the name "Done Walker" is going to be written!

This is his glory and his luck.

"Ready...... Let's go!"

With Donn's ACTION, the entire crew instantly started to run efficiently like a machine turned on. The camera crew, in particular, was engrossed, half-squinting, and looked serious and nervous.

Master Yoda is an animated character, and in the face of Master Yoda, whose chair is empty, the two male actors "listen" with full attention and accept orders from the House of Elders.

This one is very simple, Don En watched the replay once, and said with a smile: "Okay, this time is over, prepare for the next shot!"

This time Don is possessed by Steve Spielberg, and the biggest feature of this super director is that he is fast and efficient, and Donn will naturally not let go of such an advantage.

……

This set of shots is not very difficult, until the last shot, "Obi-Wan" comes back to his life, saying that the master "Kuigang" was killed, and he wants to take Anakin as an apprentice, and the scene is NG several times in a row.

This is a conversation between "Master Yoda" and "Obi-Wan", and because Master Yoda is a virtual character, Ben Affleck can only play a one-man show in the air.

"If the Council of Elders agrees, I will take Anakin as an apprentice, and if the Council of Elders does not, I will still take Anakin as an apprentice!"

Ben Affleck's face flashed with determination.

However, Don still interrupted his performance very unceremoniously, and walked over with a frown, "Ben, you are in the wrong position again, blocking the No. 5 camera." This is still secondary, and the most important thing is that you did not show the pain after Master's death. Determination alone is not enough, you have to be painful, and the decision after the pain can be moving. ”

Although Ben Affleck has participated in Michael Bay's "The Peerless Tribulation" before, he is a supporting role, and he has not participated in such high-tech filming methods, and he is still a little unaccustomed to acting in the air.

A series of mistakes made Ben Affleck a little ashamed, "I'm sorry, Donn, I'm still not used to it. ”

Don nodded, "Don't rush, take your time." Ben, in the future commercial blockbusters, special effects are indispensable, especially action movies, do you understand?"

Ben Affleck nodded, his figure destined him to have a narrow acting path, and action movies were his biggest way out in the future. Therefore, acting with virtual characters is a major problem that he must face now and in the future.

"Thanks for the reminder, Donn, I'll try to correct it. ”

Tang En bowed slightly, "Rest for ten minutes, calm down first." ”

Back in the director's seat, his assistant, Christopher Nolan, walked over and whispered, "If Ben can't meet the requirements, we can have an actor play with him, but the framing of the camera lens should be more careful, and the post-editing will be fine." ”

Tang En sighed: "This is the last option, after all, the filming of the movie is still very long, and if he can pass this level, it will also be good for his acting career in the future." ”

Nolan smiled: "Don, it's rare for a director like you to think about actors everywhere. ”

"Oh, I have a feeling that you're complimenting me. "Don joked with him that he used his budget to develop the acting skills of the actors, and the director would do this, and the producers would definitely not agree.

Nolan lowered his voice, "I think Ben Affleck is a very characteristic person, and throughout Hollywood, this kind of tough guy actor is rare." ”

Christopher Nolan is Donn's assistant, and even took on the role of producer in the production department at Donn Pictures, which is equivalent to his own person, so he naturally understands Donn's ambitions.

Tang En nodded, "That's right, that's why we have to cultivate his acting skills as much as possible, so that they can be used by me in the future!"

"I'm afraid he'......"

Before Nolan's words were finished, Tang En had already understood what he meant, and smiled coldly, "Don't worry, I don't believe he dares to make fun of me!"

Jon Landau has become notorious in Hollywood. Maybe the outside world doesn't know what happened, but everyone in the circle knows that this is the consequence of angering Don.

"By the way, what are your plans after filming this movie?" Don asked with a smile after changing the subject.

Christopher Nolan hesitated, "My brother wrote a novel and I plan to make it into a movie. ”

"Oh?" Donn's eyes lit up, "what novel?"

"Memory Fragments" tells the story of a killer who has lost his memory to complete revenge through a little memory fragment. ”

Tang En took a breath, "Tang En Pictures will be responsible for the investment." By the way, what's your brother's name?"

"Jonathan Nolan, now a junior at Georgetown University, is a literature student, and he likes to write novels and plays. ”

"Script?"

Don glanced at Nolan, "He wants to come to Hollywood?"

Christopher Nolan understood what Donn meant, and was a little embarrassed, "Yes." ”

Tang En waved his hand, "Let him report to Tang En Pictures after graduation, the screenwriting department is short of people." ”

"Don, I'...... I really don't know how to thank you. Christopher Nolan was a little speechless with excitement.

Hollywood screenwriters can really solve less than one percent of the food and clothing, and most of them rely on odd jobs to survive. Before Jonathan graduated, he was promised a screenwriting job with a stable income by Don En, which can be regarded as a favor to the Nolan brothers.

Don smirked.

Thank me?

I want to thank you!

Jonathan Nolan, a gold medal screenwriter, "Fragments of Memory", "The Dark Knight" trilogy, "Deadly Magic", "Interstellar", "Suspect Tracking", "Westworld", ...... It's a movie again, it's an American drama again, and all of them have exploded in word-of-mouth.

What's more, the story this guy writes has a distinctly dark orientation, which is rare in Hollywood.

But it is the biggest shortcoming supplement of the screenwriting department of Tangen Pictures.

Hollywood, there are too many healthy, sunny, and politically correct screenwriters.
