The official start of filming of the film was three days later. Leila took Rob with her and gave him a lot of power. He did a very good job with the original version of his previous life, although there were a lot of goofs because of his lack of experience, and he could still master it macroscopically.

This time, Leila gave him a large part of the rights, basically she didn't care about the singing and dancing part, and was only responsible for the control of the shooting. To put it simply, Rob collects the silk threads and weaves them into cloth by her.

She knows her own business, and she herself doesn't know much about musicals, that is, she did some in-depth analysis when she studied movies in her previous life. If she were to organize a rehearsal, that would be a joke. So she brought Rob back, and he handled the singing and dancing part, and she just had to tell the story with the camera.

This is where Rob Marshall's greatness is revealed. His years on Broadway have not dried up his inspiration, and the burst of light can be clearly felt through the camera during the rehearsals of the singing and dancing parts.

But again, he has his shortcomings. It's that what he sees in his eyes is the stage, not the big screen on which the movie will appear. In other words, according to his method, he just recorded a song and dance for the audience to see, rather than telling the story to everyone in the form of a film.

It can't be denied that he was really funny to shoot like that, but isn't the reason why he only got a nomination for Best Director and didn't get the Golden Man here? At least in later research, Leila thought that this was the problem.

"Rob, this won't work. Leila called him to her side and showed him the shot he had just taken: "Where do you see the focus?"

"You have to remember that the Broadway audience needs to sit there and watch, but the camera can move. You want to show what you're most proud of, you don't have to focus on one focal point, I'm going to shoot them all, you know what I mean?"

When she first started shooting her first singing and dancing scenes, Leila noticed this little feature of his. She didn't know if she should remind him, but she thought that the reason why "Chicago" won only three of its 10 Oscar nominations may have something to do with that. The best of the three awards is only one Best Supporting Actress award, doesn't that explain the problem of the film?

The producers hope to shoot "Chicago" to a higher height than "Moulin Rouge", and if it is filmed in Robb's way, the final result will be three awards, just one more than "Moulin Rouge". But if she intervenes and transforms it according to her own ideas, it may create a better effect, or it may make the whole movie collapse.

She couldn't bear to say her point of view in the first few days, because she was afraid that the movie would be destroyed if she intervened, and she wouldn't even get an award in the end. But after a few days of shooting, she found out that she couldn't go on like this! She obviously saw the place she didn't like, but she still shot without saying a word, can the movie she made still be her own work?

That's right, she used some of the afterlife experience brought by rebirth to take advantage of herself. In the same way, she also learned a lot of things that she would not have been able to access in the filming of one film after another. Take some of the movies she made in the past, she is confident that she is more beautiful and perfect than the original. So why didn't she fight hard and not let more of her own characteristics be integrated into the movie?

Now she's the director, and that's her film! Now that she's given a chance, is she really going to give up because of some unproven worries?

After a few days of ideological struggle, she still made a choice, maybe this choice made her take a big risk, but she thought that this was her own experience, once she crossed this boundary, her ability would be greatly improved!

That's why she brought Rob in and let him see his shortcomings and modify them the way she did!

Without Leila's reminder, Rob might have had to discover this inadequacy much later. He does have a solid foundation on Broadway, because of this foundation he got his current position as an assistant director, but also because of this, his mind is still imprisoned on the stage, and he will always subconsciously focus on that piece of stage, rather than the vast area in front of the camera.

After watching some of the footage, Rob was a little difficult to accept: "Yes, you're right. It doesn't look like a movie, it's just a Broadway opera...... "Maybe he's not fit to be a director at all, maybe he used to think too much about himself?"

It would be nice to know her own situation, and Leila breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that he wouldn't see his shortcomings, or that he wouldn't see anything wrong with it, thinking that she was looking for trouble. Now that he can see the situation, he can make a difference!

"I'm not actually saying that the stage is badly presented. Yes, of course. But it's more about letting the audience know that this is a movie. "And not a Broadway opera broadcast.

Rob nodded thoughtfully: "I want to see it." ”

Leila also knew that he couldn't change his habits as soon as he was enlightened, and that it would take some excessive time. She is not in a hurry, so she shoots those scenes without singing and dancing first.

It has been said before that "Chicago" has a stronger story than "Moulin Rouge", and there are some mockery and conflicts about various injustices in it, which makes the story deeper.

If a song and dance film wants to tell a story, not only the song and dance need to show the plot, but also the connection between the song and the dance must have something to say. The script was written by Rob, and Leila added some of her own ideas to it. She has memories of the future, and she has studied almost every famous or Oscar-winning film.

So she knows the impact of the film after its release, and also knows the flaws and shortcomings. All she has to do is to fix the broken ground before the sheep dies.

Rob disappeared for a week after being reminded by her. A week later, early in the morning, he appeared in front of her with messy hair and a scruffy beard.

"I have some ideas. As he spoke, he pulled out some simple sketches.

The characters in the sketch show that he belongs to the class of soul painters, but it doesn't matter, you can see that he is drawing people.

Leila took the sketch and listened to his explanation as she looked at it.

“…… So I'm going to make the framework bigger and make more use of the space for dance rehearsals. Rob said briefly.

Laila said at the beginning that she didn't know much about singing and dancing, and belonged to the kind of layman who watched the excitement, so he didn't use more professional language to explain it in more detail, just told her his thoughts and let her name her own ideas.
