Counting from the first movie, Shen Lin has been in the industry for five years. Updates are fast and ad-free.

In the past five years, he has filmed more than a dozen blockbuster works, and he has no habit of praising newcomers - vegan, and he also has no habit of using big-name stars.

In addition to using Gong Li during the shooting.

The well-known Sidan Shuangbing, except for Xu Jinglei who has cooperated with him, is only in the form of cameos, and he has never been in contact with the rest.

It can't be said that there has been no contact, but there has been no contact at normal work, Zhao Wei once asked him to say that he wanted to join his movie, but was directly rejected by Shen Lin.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi have no intersection at all.

Although Shen Lin admires Zhang Ziyi's acting skills, Zhang Ziyi's own temperament is difficult for her to match with other actors.

In addition, Lin Shao has Zhao Liying, the queen heroine, so he doesn't think much about actress candidates.

To put it bluntly, he is not very familiar with most of the actresses in China, including Fan Bingbing.

The only impression I have of her is that she is good at hype and always acting in some bad movies.

"Some time ago in Hengdian, we were next door to the crew, Fan Bingbing is the heroine, I met her a few times..."

Zhao Liying explained the process of her acquaintance with Fan Xiaopang.

"Actually, I admire Fan Bingbing,"

Shen Lin glanced at Zhao Liying, and continued meaningfully: "She can be regarded as creating an era of female artists who have no topics and no works!" ”

"Don't talk about people like that, I think she still has a lot of pursuits."

"Do you know her well?"

“… No, I just think it's actually very difficult for her to act at the expense of her image..."

“…”

Shen Lin looked at his daughter-in-law, a little speechless.

Nima, why don't you think about your own affairs when you have that spare time? For example, hurry up and have a baby or something!

"I'm going to Africa tomorrow, by the way, are you done?"

Wu Jing had already urged several times, and Shen Lin had to hurry into the group.

"To Africa? Do you really want to shoot on location? ”

Zhao Liying sat up straight with an incredible expression on her face.

“… Wu Jing is the director, we have to listen to what he says! ”

Shen Lin is also a little scared, Africa's dirty mess is world-famous, they don't care if you are a world-class director, they can't kill you with one shot, but it's still the same sentence, since you agreed, it must be done!

"Tsk, our big director is actually going to Africa to film!"

"What, aren't you with me?"

“… It's not close..."

"Really?"

"It's true!"

……

The story is set in Africa.

The reason why I chose to be overseas is because in recent years, China has encountered a lot of things overseas, especially several evacuation incidents, several incidents of Chinese being shot and robbed overseas, and it is necessary for Chinese soldiers to go abroad!

To be honest, Shen Lin didn't agree with Wu Jing's insistence on going to Kenya for on-site shooting.

On the one hand, of course, it is for security reasons, and more importantly, because African blacks are unreliable, often break contracts, and have a price a day, so they usually don't go to Africa to shoot movies.

The most realistic example is that black Africans generally disappear for a few days after receiving their salaries, and when asked why, they say that they want to "have fun in time", so they will spend all their money before they come back.

If Shen Lin is allowed to film, how can most of the problems be solved by simply setting up scenes in China, as for black actors, there are more black people stranded in China, and it is easy to pull hundreds at will.

However, he still respects Wu Jing.

He is the director, and he is the best in the whole crew!

On December 21, Shen Lin arrived in Kenya, Africa.

"You're here, it's been so hard to wait for you!"

Wu Jing was discussing the next shooting process with the photographer, and when he looked up and saw Shen Lin, he had a happy expression on his face.

"What's wrong? You guys seem to have a problem? ”

Shen Lin carried a black shoulder bag, which was very relaxed.

After all, he came to Africa, and he still brought an assistant, Comrade Xiao Xu.

"Shen, it's just right that you're here, Wu has always insisted on taking one shot to the end!"

After listening to the photographer Cameron's complaints, Shen Lin looked at Wu Jing a little helplessly, this guy is too messy!

This shot refers to the underwater PK at the beginning of the movie.

"We've all got the tricks up and we've been rehearsing underwater for a whole week, so I don't think there's a problem!"

Wu Jing argued with reason.

"Brother Jing, can we not shoot that scene in the sea, find an underwater, we will finish filming, and we will do some post-processing..."

Shen Lin thought about it and proposed.

It's really too dangerous in that scene, hold your breath underwater for 3 minutes, and you have to do all kinds of actions, if you are not careful, which link goes wrong, it will be completely GameOver!

"No, the purpose of my coming to him is to let him help with the camera, of course, I want to shoot in the sea!"

Wu Jing didn't pay attention to Shen Lin's meaning at all, and continued to say to the translator: "When the wind is a little less in the afternoon, we will start shooting!" ”

"Brother Jing, I'll find a place to sleep first, I'm too tired..."

"Here you go..."

……

Shen Lin had to leave quickly, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but quarrel with Wu Jing.

They are all directors and make movies, and the concept between him and Wu Jing is too far apart.

Wu Jing or their action school that works hard in HK always adheres to the style of real work, that is, the actors themselves go into battle to complete a series of difficult action scenes.

Not only Wu Jing, but also Chen Long is in his sixties, and he still adheres to the real style in the latest release.

This kind of shooting technique is certainly worthy of respect, but in Shen Lin's opinion, it is a bit outdated.

There's a better way to achieve similar results, so why not? Why not use a stand-in clearly? There is a clear way to make the starring role less dangerous, why do you have to go into battle in person?

Take the underwater shooting that Wu Jing had to insist on just now, it is completely possible to simulate underwater actions in front of the green screen, and then after post-CG processing, the picture can definitely be restored to the same extent, and it is even likely to be better than the real shooting that Wu Jing has always insisted on.

Will this kind of use of modern technology to replace the original backward shooting method that can only rely on the leading actors to fight for their lives will be much better?

This is the most basic principle of Shen Lin as a director: if you can solve it with technology, try to use technology.

But Wu Jing asked for all kinds of real shots!

Shen Lin was very restrained himself, he knew that it was Wu Jing's project, and the most effective thing in the crew could only be Wu Jing!

So, he simply can't see it.

"Alas! After that, I still had a bunch of plays, and the eggs hurt! ”

Lying on the bed, Shen Lin suddenly felt that the 'future' was bleak.

As he closed his eyes while thinking about it, he was about to fall asleep when there was a knock at the door.

"Brother Linzi, I'm in..."
