PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

A combination of Jewish baldness, prodigal LV faces, and Chinese handsomeness sits in the corner of the café.

Three cups of coffee are steaming.

"SEX is the appearance, the video is the carrier, and it is precisely the lie that is the core of the whole show. ”

Director Wu stirred the coffee cup unhurriedly, the dark brown coffee swirled into a whirlpool, and looked at the two people in front of him who were unrelated to each other.

"The relationships and story lines shown in the short film are a little redundant, and the camera is more focused on the main characters. The overall structure can be expanded and adapted according to the story of the short film, and the details can be supplemented.

In realistic movies, the details are often the most worthy of carving. ”

John Wu's voice was steady, like a life coach's earnest and kind approach.

"I got you to shoot a music video for the heavy metal rock band 'Kisses'. I saw in it that you have a talent for creating images, but it's not enough. ”

As he spoke, the waiter asked for a pen and paper.

"I hope you can think about this film from the perspective of family and social ethics and sexual psychology. Don't be afraid to try, but stay sensible. ”

Steven Soderbergh's expression was constantly changing.

The three words 'caring for the family, social ethics and sexual psychology' crossed his mind at once, instantly tearing through the darkness and making him suddenly realize.

The first thing he was able to do was his father, the dean of Louisiana State University's College of Education, who loved film. Soderbergh's influence also influenced his style of influence.

His style is varied, but he has maintained a middle-class perspective to analyze social issues, which has also formed his calm, appreciable, restrained, and intelligent critical film and television style in the future.

Unlike the Coen brothers, the Wachowski sisters, or Quentin's distinctive and distinctive audiovisual language, he is calm and reserved, but also very varied in narrative and style.

A good example.

Watching Quentin's movie, you can feel the strong personal imprint of him at first glance, and the iconic personal label rushes out of the screen and points to your nose to tell you: This kind of cow B is Quentin!

But Soderbergh's films are very different. "Kafka", "Uncompromising" and "The English Sailor" are all unique. Of course, compared to Quentin's storytelling, his story is always not very new.

In contrast, Wu Xiaozu belongs to the creator whose personal style is very iconic.

Although the image style is also changeable, the self-style that is full of it is indeed constantly expanding, extending, and precipitating, so as to continue to sublimate. However, to a certain extent, Wu Xiaozu is also breaking his self-perception and the audience's cognition again and again.

It's hard!

It's really hard.

Saozu may be very bad at life, but when it comes to film creation, he is higher than many people.

He has always recognized his place.

"Director John, thank you for telling me this. It was as if I saw a clear cinematic path ahead of me. All I need to do is step forward...... I do know more about what I want to do now. "Steven Soderbergh is grateful.

Looking at the 'One Punch Man' Steven Ichigo Bald Soderbergh in front of him, Wu Xiaozu smiled faintly.

I only hope that Soderbergh can really see the road under his feet.

In the previous life, the consequence of the other party jumping away was to fall into the dust, and it was only after a few years that he really turned over.

But even in the most difficult time and space, Soderbergh is also a big man who stands like a sign in the independent film industry!

The objective footage of overlapping time and space has also indeed influenced many filmmakers.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Nicholas Da Chang's face wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Xiaozu knew his heart well, but ignored it.

"I'll reach out to Harvey and ask him to help you assemble the crew, and he'll be the production manager for the film. I personally served as a producer and film director. You'll need to finish the script by November. After that, I will join the group and prepare for the shoot with you.

I think you can get involved in the location selection and casting work. This will be more conducive to your later shooting. Wu Xiaozu said.

"Yes, sir. Steven Soderbergh couldn't hide his excitement.

"By the way, this Nicholas ......" Wu Xiaozu glanced at the other party.

"Cage, Nicolas Cage!" added Face.

"Nicolas Cage is the actor I recommend to you, and of course, the final decision is up to the audition performance that follows. If it doesn't—"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Nicholas Cage, who had changed his name and surname, "I can only say regret." ”

Steven Soderbergh's face was much better. He didn't want to force a person to come in before he filmed.

“……”

Nicolas Cage was also silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at Wu Xiaozu seriously, and suddenly smiled, "I really believe that you are indeed not for that surname." You did make the most suitable deal!"

Hehe~ Guess?

Wu Xiaozu's face was calm. The last person who was so confident was called Liang Xiaokou!

In terms of the theme of the play "SEX, Lies and Videotape", Wu Xiaozu intends to adopt a critical realist style, and the whole film uses time and space lenses to present an interpretation of this proposition.

This is no small challenge for Wu Xiaozu.

Yes~

Wu Xiaozu is ready to infiltrate the filmmaking because this subject matter is a good project that integrates well into American society.

Such a theme is actually destined to make the investment scale of the film not very large.

$1.8 million in costs, including production and post-production.

This is definitely a rare opportunity for a rookie director, but for Wu Xiaozu, it is indeed an out-and-out small cost. Nowadays, Hollywood movies have generally entered the sequence of tens of millions of dollars.

Films with this theme are also suitable for film festivals.

However, it is also unknown whether it will win the award. When a film wins an award, it depends not only on the quality of the film, but also on the preferences of the judges of the current year.

"Don't think I'll give you the back door~" Steven Soderbergh, who was wearing a plaid shirt and was polite, frowned and looked at the hippie-looking Nicolas Cage, "I won't open the back door!"

"No! I won't go through the back door, that's not my character, I'll let you treat you differently! I like to use my efforts to open your eyes until you are satisfied!" Nicolas Cage said firmly, meeting his gaze.

The eyes of the two collided together, and the sky thundered, the fire and lightning flashed and thundered!

Looking at the state of the two, I guessed if the two had read a story written by the rotten girl Anne Proux that takes place in western Wyoming, where the young cowboy Jack and Nenis are born.

I suspect you two are driving, but I don't have any proof!

determined the drama "SEX, Lies and Videotapes", and Wu Xiaozu was also relieved.

Leaving the contact information of the two, they returned to Santa Barbara.
