Chapter 415 of the text Stanfield

Next chapter

There are a lot of scripts with connotation, Zhang Tan.

Originally, there were many scripts left for himself, and he still has at least thirty years of directing career to continue. But after the Matrix series became famous all over the world, Zhang Tan suddenly found that the forced grid was raised too much and could not be lowered. At least 90% of the scripts in my own collection, filming will only reduce my compulsion.

Instead of shooting it yourself, it is better to let it go out and show off his screenwriting talent, so that people can see how strong his creative talent is.

As for whether putting out all the books will make him useless, Zhang Tan doesn't care much about this for the time being.

He has kept at least several well-made scripts for himself, and his Dark Knight trilogy has not yet been released, and the literary film has just been prepared, if one is produced in one or two years, at least there will be no good movies for more than ten years.

At the same time, as the world's top director, Zhang Tan can receive countless scripts sent by talented screenwriters every day. Under his instructions, Luying Company is also constantly hoarding the adaptation rights of novel works. At present, there are more than 50 scripts in stock of Lu Ying.

With so many scripts for Zhang Tan to choose from, Zhang Tan doesn't think he can make an original movie that truly belongs to him.

Because he has a professional team, he no longer relied on his own to complete the work. He only needs an idea, and his team can do the rest, which is a sign that an independent director has been promoted to a big director. The resources controlled by the big director are far beyond the script level.

This is also the reason why directors contribute more to the film than screenwriters.

The screenwriter values talent and creativity, and the director values the control of the crew and the elaboration of the film. A good director can make a bad script into a good movie, and a bad director can make a bad script into a bad movie.

Zhang Tan, who has been practicing for more than ten years, has experienced the tempering of small-budget films, art films, commercial films, and Hollywood blockbusters, and has many themes such as science fiction films, comedy films, horror films, literary films, and documentaries. He graduated from the film academy again, and has written novels, worked as a screenwriter, directed films, and produced films.

With so much experience, it's a waste, and it's honed into an insider.

What's more, the rebirth of reading files brought Zhang Tan. Not only those precious memories, but also a strong memory, quick thinking ability.

His directorial talent has already been proven in the repair and sublimation of the original work many times.

Another one. He is his own boss and does not have any commercial pressure; There are countless classic masterpieces, even if he hits the streets several original movies in a row, it doesn't hurt.

Director, who hasn't had a low ebb yet.

As long as one is successful. Those silent praises will come back.

Combining these factors, Zhang Tan did not have any burden, and generously put the scripts he stored into the script library of Luying Company in batches and put them on the production schedule.

In the first batch, there were three English scripts, "This Man Came from Earth", "The Night the Comet Comed", and "The Butterfly Effect"; Two Chinese scripts, "Chinese Partner", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years/You at the Same Table".

Five scripts, almost just launched. Luying Company has received a large number of requests for cooperation.

Two Chinese scripts were naturally snatched away by Chen Li and Han Weiguo, as the contracted director of Luying Company, of course, it is necessary to focus on its own director first.

The three English scripts are all low-budget brain-burning sci-fi films, and ult fans may think they are so cool that they have no friends, but the mainstream evaluation is definitely a little worse. And there is basically no certainty at the box office, but it is okay to release it on DVD, after all, it is a niche sci-fi film that burns the brain.

If you can't accompany you, you can't make much money, Zhang Tan didn't let other companies get involved. It is still cooperated by Luying and Summit Entertainment.

Luying has cooperated with Summit Entertainment many times, and has also created a reputation that is quite sought after by fans, and this kind of ult film with little expectations at the box office is very suitable for extending this reputation.

……

Throw out the script. Just an episode.

Preparing for a new film is what Zhang Tan is dedicated to, especially casting.

Zhang Tan directed movies before, and the requirements for actors' acting skills were not very high, and his ability to guide actors' acting skills was also lacking. But this time, in order to make this literary film exquisite and exquisite, Zhang Tan was very attentive. In terms of casting, it is better to lack than to excess.

The first actor to be identified is the villain anti-narcotics policeman Stanfield, a perverted murderer.

When Zhang Tan asked assistant director Frank to invite actors to audition, he found that his old acquaintance was also here, Gary Oldman, who played Sheriff Gordon in "Batman: Time to War".

Gary Oldman belongs to the kind of compound talent who is very talented, and the writer, director, and acting are all good. Zhang Tan recognizes Gary's acting skills very much, and the other party is definitely an old actor.

However, whether Gary can bring Stanfield's perversion to life will have to be known through an audition.

"Gary, Stan is a psychopathic anti-narcotics cop who likes to listen to Beethoven's music and shoot people to the rhythm of the music when he kills...... Can you figure out this state, I need you to show his crazy side. "For the old drama bones, Zhang Tan has always told the other party what kind of performance he needs.

The rest is how the actors show it.

The crew spends money on actors, and what they want is the acting skills of the actors, especially the villains.

Gary Oldman is worthy of being an old actor, and after a moment of brewing, he directly came to a neurotic possession-like performance, and although there was nothing around, he still entered the thrill of killing. The morbid expression and neurotic movements all show his understanding of the character.

Bang bang bang!

"Very good, Gary!" Zhang Tan did not hesitate to applaud, "Stan is yours, I'm glad that we can work together again, let your agent negotiate a contract with the crew." ”

Gary Oldman was relieved from his acting state, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "I'm also very happy to work with you Tan again." ”

It's easy.

Originally, Zhang Tan felt that he had to work hard to find the villain, so he chose the actor so simply.

But then, the choice of the male protagonist and the female protagonist is not so smooth.

The actor played by the original Jean Reno has fascinated countless people.

This preconceived impression, Zhang Tan was inevitably infected, hoping to find an actor with a similar image and temperament as Jean Reno.

This adds too many obstacles to the actor's audition work.

And the audition for the heroine is even more troublesome.

"Oh my God, Tan, I've brought you most of Hollywood's child stars, including the Lalis' daughter, Iloti, for auditions. Why, is it really enough to satisfy you? Frank held his head and complained loudly.

During this time, he was really tortured, Zhang Tan was not satisfied with the actor auditioning for the actor, and he was not satisfied with the audition actor for the heroine.

Audition once, shake your head once.

It torments the nerves of the casting director.

Zhang Tan himself is in a hurry, but for the quality of the movie, he doesn't want to relax his requirements: "Don't be in a hurry Frank, look for it slowly, I'd rather postpone the filming of the movie than find a satisfactory actor." Remember, Frank, we're making a great movie that will go down in history, and as a member of the main creators, you'll make a name for it. ”

"Actually, I think the "Matrix" we collaborated on is enough to make me famous in history, and the next Batman." Frank muttered something in a low voice, and then had to pick himself up and say, "Okay, Tan, I'll look for them again, and I'll find them for you!" (To be continued.) )
