Lance fell into deep thought, the blacklist script is not really good, many of the scripts are not very complete, and they must be revised and adjusted, and they may even be broken. This is not surprising www.biquge.info because these scripts may have been created by newcomers, amateurs, or spontaneous...... But what is certain is that these scripts have their own unique features, and are far more appealing than the cookie-cutter genre movie scripts.

However, in the few works that have come into sight so far, Lance has not felt the desire to create.

Every creator has their own style and inspiration, which does not mean that those excellent scripts are necessarily suitable for them, nor may they be able to stimulate their creative enthusiasm. There are countless excellent works that come out of Hollywood every year, but not every one of them is suitable for you.

Even genre directors must have their own preferred genres, such as Nora-Ephron for romantic comedies, Michael Bay for adventure action, and Tim Burton for fantasy adventures.

For many new directors, in the early stage of their careers, they are exposed to different types of works, and then look for their own characteristics, looking forward to forming their own unique image style. Of course, many more people have spent their lives doing nothing, shooting simple and cliché films, and are drowned in the wave of Hollywood.

So far, Lance has made four films, but he has never thought about the creative style. At the beginning, it was because he had no choice, and when he encountered an excellent work, he tried his best to fight for it, and it can even be said that he did not refuse to come; Later, it was because he didn't think about it, and he thought differently about each work.

The creation of the crime trilogy was formed by chance, and it can be seen from the very different styles of the three works, Lance is constantly groping, from editing to lighting to color, through the combination of different shots, the thoughts in his mind are presented and integrated with the plot.

With the great success of "Sin City", Lance now has more and more choices, and his creative ideas are becoming more and more mature, he not only has the right to choose independently, but also has the ability to go closer, including the passing "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Superman Returns", in fact, Lance is subconsciously trying to find a style that suits him - starting with the script, but unfortunately in the end it was not possible.

Now, looking at the blacklist in his hand, Lance began to think about this question for the first time, there were many excellent works, and all of them were great successes, but there were no works that Lance really wanted to participate in.

For example, "The Queen", this work is very good, but it is more suitable for British directors, especially directors from stage plays, not only because the script involves the British royal family, and discusses one of the most sensitive topics of the royal family: Princess Diana, gossip, and involves the secrets of the royal family, how to grasp the scale has become the biggest problem for directors; And because royalty generally needs to suppress emotions, they are not clowns who act on the spot, which leads to the fact that the film needs to dig out the deeper emotions in the actors' hearts, and it also needs appropriate metaphorical shots to complete the appeal of the core emotion; In addition, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the British aristocratic culture, and even to excavate.

This was the case with the previous director Stephen Freres, who was born at Cambridge University and spent many years at the Royal Court Theatre, and was very good at dealing with emotionally restrained and delicate works, especially those one-man stage plays, such as "The Queen", "Philomena", "Lady Henderson's Tribute", "Dirty and Sweet Things" and so on.

Lance was born at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Drama in England, and directed many stage plays as a director in his previous life when he was rolling on Broadway, and he is also one of the things he is best at. However, Lance lacks sufficient understanding of British aristocratic culture, and his understanding of the royal family is even more amateur, and he can only understand the surface of his temporary learning, but he has no way to go deep into the emotions, which is the biggest shackle to the expression of the characters' emotions - filming "The King's Speech" may also be able to catch ducks on the shelves, but the theme of the script of "The Queen" is very complicated.

In addition, the whole work is stable, calm and restrained, restrained and profound, and compared with the director, the actors' performances are the core driving force that supports the whole work.

Obviously, Lance is not the best director of this work, and it is even very likely to ruin the foundation and style of this work. The most important thing is that this is not a work that forms one's own creative style, but more of a work that learns, accumulates, and enriches connotations.

Another example is "Juno", with a strong rock style, with a wanton and casual playful attitude to tell the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who is pregnant out of wedlock, from critics' feedback to box office revenues, to social repercussions, this is a huge success, but the biggest highlight of the whole movie is the lines.

The core significance of "Juno" receiving so much praise is that it presents the living conditions and ideologies of teenagers in the Internet era, including the impact of events such as the Vietnam War and the Gulf War on the American middle class, the bond between family and dreams, society and responsibility, the confusion of the middle class and the confusion of the next generation, and the interaction between broken families and growing up and education...... At the same time, the spicy irony and humor of the lines are even more eye-catching, and they have become the biggest contributors to the success of the work.

Screenwriter Diabolo-Cody was a blogger before he created "Juno", and almost all of the material was drawn from his own personal experience, and he incorporated his own particularity into the "Juno" script.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Juno" is full of extreme originality and personal characteristics, a style that does not come from the director behind the camera, nor from the actors in front of the camera, but from Diablo, who wrote the script. Jason-Reitman as a director is excellent? performed well, but his personal characteristics were blurred in the actor's rock style; Is Allen Page good as a heroine? is very good, but her weighty performance is based on clear lines.

If Lance wants to continue to produce a successful work, "Juno" would be a perfect fit; But if Lance wants to find his own creative style, "Juno" is a choice that devours his own style.

This was the first time Lance had thought about his own creative style, and of course it was also the first time he had the opportunity to do so, because he had no reference and no experience to speak of, so Lance was a little confused. He can choose to take the insurance and shoot "Juno", but it is very likely that he will never be able to find a path of his own; He can also choose risky works and reimagine new ones, but this can also lead him to fall into a creative bottleneck and lose himself.

Lance fell into deep thought.

He is well aware of the current situation of Chaos Pictures, and aside from the grand composition of the acquisition of Marvel, the current distribution department is about to be established, and the production department needs to continue to develop, which means that Chaos Pictures needs to continue to release excellent works and continue the momentum, so as to realize his incredible blueprint.

But on the other hand, Chaos Pictures also needs to gradually shed Lance's personal stigma. As a production company, it can't be created by just one creator, Reims, which is too risky, and it will be a failure; What's more, if Lance spends half a year to create a work, just like James Cameron spent ten years preparing for "Avatar", it means that Chaos Pictures must be silent for such a long time. Therefore, Chaos Pictures must dig up more excellent works and cooperate with more outstanding filmmakers.

That's what DreamWorks is all about; The same is true for the original purpose of creating a blacklist.

Now, looking at the blacklist in his hand, Lance couldn't help but think, why not go with the flow and choose to let go? He can be a producer, assemble the crews of "Juno", "Queen", "Inflatable Doll Love", and then hand them over to the corresponding creators, ensuring that the company can maintain its vigorous vitality for the next three years, not only continue to launch new works, but also achieve excellent results.

At the same time, Lance himself can continue to explore on the road of artistic creation and seek more breakthroughs.

Lance wasn't a man of complacency, never had been; Lance wasn't a hesitant person either, at least not since being reborn, so Lance made his decision quickly.

Lance read the blacklist again, and then ticked in front of works such as "Juno", "Queen", and "Inflatable Doll Love", and then he needed a radish and a pit, and re-found the creative team in the memory of the previous life, formed a crew, and put it into filming.

This year's Sundance Film Festival has already come to an end, the Cannes Film Festival just ended last month, and the Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival will be released soon. Next year, there will be independent masterpieces such as "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Pan's Labyrinth", "Half Nelson", and "Sex/Love Bus......

Lance knew that with the current strength of Chaos Pictures, it was unrealistic to want to pocket all the distribution rights of these works. Even if they succeed in harvesting multiple works, they don't have enough PR power right now, and at the same time, they will end up being greedy for more than they can lose. But if Chaos Pictures' distribution department could hold the rights to any two or three of the films and then focus on awards season PR, it would keep the company thriving.

"Huh?" Lance couldn't help but stop when he was flipping through the blacklist, looking at the work in front of him, he was a little distracted for a while. (To be continued.) )
