Chapter 90: Exploding Word of Mouth
Shen Lin dodged the question well, and then the reporters' eyes locked on Emma Stone.
How to say it, Sister Shi's performance in this movie is amazing enough.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to win the Venice Best Actress, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and Oscar for Best Actress!
"Emma, can you briefly compare the difference between Damien and Director Shen Lin?"
This is a very normal question, who made you a double director in this movie.
"I think the two of them should belong to completely different directors, Damien is very strict and requires us to take one shot to the end; Director Shen is a little less demanding, although he is also very concerned about the quality of the movie, but, relatively speaking, he is more concerned about the progress of the movie..."
Nima, when Shen Lin heard this, he felt that Sister Shi was simply cheating on him, and sure enough, in the next sentence, the reporter asked rhetorically: "Why? Is it because Director Shen is irresponsible?"
“… Because he's the producer!"
Sister Shi probably wanted to tell a joke, but unfortunately the reaction at the scene was a little cold.
"Let me answer..."
Shen Lin had no choice but to go into battle in person: "The shots I am responsible for are mainly some more conventional plots, so it is very simple to shoot, Emma and Ryan are both highly professional actors, and the speed of completing these shots is naturally very fast, most of the scenes that Mi Anen is responsible for are some singing and dancing shots, which are very difficult to shoot, so, in Emma's opinion, I shoot very quickly..."
The reporters on the audience nodded one after another, and Shen Lin added coldly: "Of course, 30 million US dollars is indeed a bit insufficient..."
"Haha..."
Including Gaussling, many people at the scene laughed.
"By the way, Director Shen, we know that you make movies very quickly, how long did it take to shoot "La La Land" this time?"
"If you add the preliminary preparation, it is nine months, and if it is only filmed, it will only be 40 days, and we spent six months in the preliminary preparation! ”
Shen Lin smiled slightly: "The ideal scene for each director is like this, the description of each scene in the script is clear and concise, the storyboard is perfectly drawn, it doesn't take much effort to get the sub-shot and shooting, and when editing, you can immediately say how to stitch the scene." On set, everyone gets enough sleep and is well paid! However, adequate pre-filming preparation can indeed avoid a lot of unnecessary things, the simplest example, before the official start of filming of "La La Land", Emma and Ryan underwent nearly three months of dance training..."
……
This year's Venice Film Festival, although the publicity is in full swing, is the strongest in the history of all kinds of propaganda.
and promulgated a series of major films to create various gimmicks.
But three days have passed, and the highest evaluation by the media is still "La La Land".
The British "Guardian" gave the film the highest five-star evaluation: "In Shen Lin's incomparably sweet, sad and subtle new film, it is intoxicating to show the four seasons of love." The Venice Film Festival couldn't have asked for a sweeter opening. ”
"Variety" praised the film for opening the film festival with "retro charm and style", and said that the 28-year-old Shen Lin and the 31-year-old director Chazelle paid tribute to the style and artistic conception of classic Hollywood song and dance films in the 40s and 50s of the last century.
The Independent called La La La Land a film that "deserves a closer look" and predicted that it was likely to win an Oscar, adding that the film was "ambitious and does have some very highlight-reel moments." ”
"International Screen" called the film a "classic escapist movie", and the dance in the film danced to the hearts of movie lovers everywhere.
The overall rating has reached 4.5 points (out of 5)
The word of mouth is so good that it explodes.
"Arrival", "The First Lady", including "Nocturnal Animals", are completely incomparable.
"Nocturnal Animals" is a little better, the story twists and turns are bizarre, and the "Arrival" with high hopes is directed by the famous director Denis Villeneuve, who has been fighting in Europe for many years, and thought that he could win the cup in one fell swoop, but unfortunately "Arrival" is such a good theme that he made into a lump of soaring.
Originally, "Arrival" was adapted from the famous science fiction writer Jiang Fengnan's "The Story of Your Life", and the original work was very well written, which can be called the American version of "The Three-Body Problem", but as a result...
As for "The First Lady", many people said that Natalie Portman was going downhill, and they wanted to introduce Kenneth Lonergan, the director of "Manchester by the Sea", to Pablo Larayne, the director of "The First Lady".
At the same time, Shen Lin had already led the crew out of Venice and for Canada.
No way, for "La La Land", the focus of publicity is still in North America.
……
The crew did not stop and went straight to the Toronto Film Festival, which opened on September 8.
The Toronto Film Festival has long been the backyard of North American films, and the impact of the blockbuster films here on North American audiences and the upcoming awards season is even greater.
If participating in the Venice Film Festival is aimed at Europe, then Damien led the crew to the Toronto Film Festival to really create momentum for the film's publicity and word-of-mouth.
The trip to Venice of "La La Land" won a lot of praise, and in today's era of highly developed Internet, the explosive word-of-mouth has long spread to North America.
As the distributor of the film, Disney arranged ten screenings of "La La Land" at the Toronto Film Festival, and from the first screening, the venue was full, especially after the arrival of the main creator, the attendance rate reached almost 100%.
It can be seen that North American fans are still willing to pay to watch movies!
Well, Shen Lin didn't go to Toronto, he flew directly to the capital.
"Bangkok Tour" is about to start filming.
He had already told Bill that he would not participate in the Toronto Film Festival.
Two directors, one at a film festival, is fair.
Not only him, but Fat Di and Li Yitong also left halfway.
What's more, Fat Di also has to participate in one of the roles of "Bangkok Trip", which is the cheerleader of the original baseball team, called Zhenxi, however, Shen Lin changed her identity and changed it to the cheerleader of the basketball team, and her name is also slightly Chinese, called Fat Ya... No, it's called Xiaoya.
Male number one, Shi Yu is played by Lao Hu;
wrestler Shang Hua, Shen Lin originally wanted to find Wu Jing, but he was busy preparing for "Wolf Warrior 2", and Shen Lin found Wu Yue;
As for the very hateful manager of the passenger bus company, Shen Lin handed it over to Mr. Wu Gang;
The handsome basketball player Rong Guo must be Wu Sanshi;
In the corner of the child, Shen Lin thought about it for a long time and found Liu Chutian;
The street sleeper, that is, the beggar with no name, Shen Lin found Nie Yuan;
In short, in terms of actors, there is a female number one.
I don't know how Liu Tianxian is preparing, the reason why Shen Lin went to the capital at this time is to try the play, but it really can't work, hurry up and change people!
