386 Honesty for understanding

Ang Lee came over quickly, and his face was very haggard, which was too different from the image of Ang Lee in Liu Anran's impression. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Director Li, do you need to take a break first, is it because the play is too hard?" Liu Anran asked with a chuckle.

Ang Lee shook his head and said, "Andy, what do you think of this play?" ”

This drama really involved too much of his energy and made him feel very tired, and this exhaustion was not physical, but mentally exhausted.

It was a challenge for me to take on this film, but the feeling of shooting was not as good as I thought. In particular, the investor has changed, and now the investor is very dissatisfied with his shooting.

If people are accustomed to seeing the contradiction between the investor and the director, then the contradiction between themselves and the investor has reached the stage of exploding.

He has known Liu Anran, the first film achieved an impressive box office, and he is still a Chinese. Instinctively, he has a bit of a sense of closeness. But Liu Anran is an investor again, and now he has directly called himself from the set here, and he is very eager to know what to do with this film.

"Director Li, are you sure that you can talk about things in your current state?" Liu Anran asked seriously.

"There were no problems, I had slept well on the plane." Li An nodded.

"Well, if I were to evaluate the script you're filming now, I can only say that it should be okay to recoup your investment." Liu Anran said directly.

"Is it really that bad?" Li An asked after being silent for a while.

"If this is the work of an ordinary director, for him, it is a very good film. But if you were the director, it wouldn't be what the audience expected of you. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"This Marvel hero-themed movie is a new attempt for you, and it is also an expectation for the audience."

"If you don't have the rest of the Marvel hero movies, the audience will watch this movie that you have made without comparisons and nothing. It is precisely because of the contrast, coupled with the big cultural differences between the two sides, that it is difficult for them to accept such a Hulk now. ”

"The success of a film depends largely on the audience who watches it. In the eyes of Western audiences, high-speed rhythm, exquisite special effects, and continuous explosions that excite the audience are the Marvel heroes they should have. And if I had shot it according to the current script, I hadn't seen the demo, but I could imagine what the outcome would be. ”

"I didn't expect this film to have so many loopholes." After being stunned for a while, Li An said with a wry smile.

"Director Li, I can tell you clearly. At the beginning, I didn't have you in mind as a director, but I planned to invite other directors to shoot. It's just that when the copyright of "The Incredible Hulk" was purchased back from Universal, the entire crew had already been decided. Liu Anran continued.

"I can imagine why Universal chose you for what purpose. They should want you to be more delicate in the portrayal of the characters. I've read the description in the script, and I can say that at this point, you've done a great job. ”

"Hulk is different from the rest of the heroes after all, he is not proud of his heroic nature, on the contrary, he is still afraid. Because he is a hero born out of anger, and at this point, you have successfully portrayed his inner world. ”

"It's your unique style, and it's what people most expect to see in your films. But it is precisely because you have not grasped the balance between this style and the Hollywood movie model, and you have to lay out more and shape the characters, which will make the current film more embarrassing. ”

Li An stuffed his body into the sofa, carefully recalled Liu Anran's words, and nodded bitterly. It seems that he is still good at shooting literary and artistic films, and this attempt is a failure. Or maybe it's also that his own ideas are a little ahead of his time and are not accepted by people today.

But no matter what, if a film doesn't have a good box office return, it's a failed work. The film has invested so much, and failure is already doomed.

"Andy, I'm sorry for the loss, if you can, you might as well change to another director to shoot." After pondering for a while, Li An spoke.

"No, I won't let you go." Liu Anran shook his head and said with a smile.

"When I knew you were making this film, my heart was full of anticipation. It's just that I'm filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" here, and your filming location is in Brazil, so I just don't have that time to go there. ”

"You didn't have any problems with the shooting, the only problems were the script. In my understanding, a movie is a story, and the director is the one who tells the story through the lens. But the story itself is not very popular, and even if the storyteller tells it beautifully, it is difficult for people to stay and listen to you finish it. ”

"I listen to Stan? Lee said that when you were shooting this film, you used a lot of split shots. I think that's a good thing, and it gives the audience a strong sense of immediacy to the comics. But I think this is a movie after all, and although such a split shot is good, it must also be grasped well. ”

"After all, the audience is still watching movies, not comics. They can watch comics slowly, but as long as they slip even a little bit in movies, these shots will dazzle them and miss the point. ”

"On the script side, Marvel's creative committee has already created it, I read it in advance, and I think it's okay. Maybe there are some grievances for you, because such a script is not the ideal script in your heart. But for a company, this is still Marvel's first hero movie, and I still insist that you shoot it. ”

"I really like the way you portray the characters. And you've put so much effort into this film, if you quit halfway, I can't accept it. ”

Today's Liu Anran is very honest and did not fool at all. He just wanted to exchange Ang Lee's understanding for such honesty and clear the way for future cooperation again.

And he himself doesn't think that using Ang Lee to shoot can't achieve good results, he, who doesn't know much about directing, can shoot about the same, not to mention Ang Lee, an experienced director.

It's just that the overall style of this film conflicts with Ang Lee's concept. As long as he can get all these things in his mind, it will be easy to shoot.
