While Americans are arrogantly convinced that Levy's new film will completely outperform the incomprehensible things at the Cannes Film Festival in terms of artistry, here in France, Levy has already made a decision that his new film will not be shot in the United States, but will be filmed in Europe in the early stage, and finally in the later stage, he will return to the United States to do it.

It's no surprise that Levy's film was ready to be shot in Europe. In fact, over the years, many movies have been shot outside of the United States - for example, The Lord of the Rings, which is being filmed now, was shot in New Zealand. A large part of American films were shot in Europe and Africa.

The reason for this is nothing more than a few points: one is that European countries have high tax rebates, which can save money - New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom all give high tax rebates, and the X-Men of the Mystery Company are filmed in Canada.

The second is that because of the long-term mixed race in the United States, the race is not very suitable for making some movies -- because there is a lot of blood mixed with other races, and the appearance of Americans sometimes seems strange and not suitable for filming. Some films that are positioned as World War II prefer to use Australians who look closer to purebred WASPs - they look closer to the Americans of that era.

And then there is the use of some landscapes, the scenery in Europe, Canada and other places is different from the United States, which is also something that needs to be considered when shooting a movie.

And this movie, naturally, is also considered these. It's just that love movies don't need to consider any racial issues, and Levy's movie itself has an investment of 20 million, and saving money is not the biggest problem he considers. Or a question of shooting.

A romance movie doesn't need too many locations, but some special scenery is not easy to shoot in the United States. For example, in the winter scene, even if you return to the United States, you have to go to Canada to shoot well, and compared to the long distance and hard back and forth, Levy chose to shoot movies in Europe.

"Our films, mainly shot in Europe. Trains, indoors, seaside, these scenes are better filmed in Europe. And some outdoor scenes, after returning to the United States, you can make up for it, and this movie, we shot it in Europe. ”

In the crew, Levy also quickly talked about his arrangements for the movie. And these arrangements of his. And no one objected either.

Everyone knows that Levy attaches great importance to his films. When he makes movies, he never ignores the shooting of movies in order to save money or for some strange reason. The word of mouth is there, and naturally not many people will question his decision.

And, even if people questioned, after seeing Levy's abilities. will also be convinced right away - after the people in the crew began to gather one after another, Naomi looked at the people in her crew and also had such an idea in her heart.

The filming aspect of the film. It should be noted that one is the production of special effects: in order to reflect the world in the dream, there are many places in the movie where there are scenes and characters that suddenly disappear and disintegrate.

And what is surprising is that what seemed to be a lot of trouble was easily solved by Levy. Levy's subordinates have their own film companies, and for these scenes, he directly transferred his own film company and let them take care of the production.

's own special effects company, making this kind of scene, will naturally work very hard. As you can imagine, these things will definitely not be a trouble for movies.

It seems that the most troublesome problem was solved so easily, and the crew all knew how much energy there was as a big director. When they shoot movies, they don't have to coordinate with multiple parties like small directors, and they have the support of the company behind them, which is their capital for making movies.

And in addition to these, the other trouble is shooting.

The filming of this movie encountered a lot of trouble, Levy's old partner photographer Pfister, at this time, because other film appointments could not come to cooperate with Levy, Levy had to find another photographer.

For a director, having a director of photography who has been working with for a long time is a boost that can save a lot of work. Different shooting techniques can always create different atmosphere effects, and how to better reflect the director's intention is the job of photographers. A more cohesive film crew is also a necessary condition for success. And the director that Levy usually works with has something else, which also makes many people a little worried.

Naomi had been worried about this for a while, but she soon realized that it was unnecessary to worry about Levy, and he had quickly found a new photographer while others were still discussing what to do.

Levy's choice of photographer was Frenchman Bruno. Del Bonnell. The photographer has been in the film industry for many years, but in recent years, he has not had much work, and before filming the Harrist Yacht Murder Case, which was just released this year, there was a period of low ebb in his career. However, in terms of his cinematography style, his style is quite fantastical and magnificent, which is also very suitable for this movie.

It's just that the random person can really succeed? This has become the biggest question for people.

Soon, however, the photographer revealed people's doubts with his skills.

"When we were filming the train scene, we really did it on the moving train." Bruno has not been in the crew for a long time, and he has already put forward his opinion on the most troublesome scene of the movie, "I believe that I have no problem with this paragraph." ”

Bruno's words made people can't help but look at him with admiration.

There is a scene in the movie on the train, and this shot is shot on a moving train, the cost is not a big problem, the biggest problem is that such shooting, lighting, framing, color and details how to form the best effect matching, itself is a big problem.

The details of a film often determine success or failure, and Levy himself is a notoriously fastidious director who values these things very much, but when Bruno made this suggestion, he didn't seem to care about these difficulties at all.

However, it didn't take long for Bruno to prove his own ability.

The film has not yet been filmed, and now the photographer needs to do more to prepare. Bruno was quick to show what he was capable of: he captured the scene with a digital camera, and then, after adjusting the colors he wanted to see, he gave them to the colorist. Soon, the colorist adjusted the material – the colours, and that was it.

Then, in terms of lighting, he quickly decided on a method of shooting. With his weakened colors and underexposed images, he creates a rather good sense of depression, and then, when the characters appear, the brilliant colors come out at once.

And in this ordinary carriage, the arrangement of the three cameras, the clever framing of the windows, and the natural light effect of the time period, all these aspects appear in the design provided by Bruno.

"There's nothing difficult about these things."

There is no objection to his pride. The lighting, the colors, the visual vocabulary, the way the camera moves, the scene, the walls, the floor, all the details are taken into account, the weight of the photographic technique, and the mastery of the photographic equipment all show that the level of this photographer is really high, and he is qualified to say such things.

And, it's rare that his lenses pay so much attention to fantastic color and beauty, and he cares so much about details, such a style is a perfect match for Levy.

Obviously, this is a very good, even amazing photographer. Once again, Levy proved that his vision was outstanding.

"I believe that if you change photographers this time, you will be able to shoot very good works."

Naomi also admired Bruno's talent and Levy.

"Of course, the photographer I found will certainly not be bad." Levy smirked and answered her question.

Who knows if it weren't for Levy, Bruno would have filmed "Amelie Angels" this year, and then a series of films such as the Long Marriage Contract, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Drunken Country Balk. This person was originally a top photography master.

As a director, in addition to having strong capital, his extraordinary vision is also his consistent advantage. Just like Jan Tilson, the soundtrack artist of this movie, wasn't he also promoted by Levy a few years ago?

"Actually, when I read your script, I remembered a Corsican song called Love is Blue...... I've basically been inspired for your films, and I'll write you good music when I wait for a while. ”

Jan Tilson hasn't had any good new works coming out since he finished writing Angel Loves Beauty, but that doesn't mean he's exhausted. After getting a call from Levy, he quickly found inspiration and started composing music for the film.

A good movie has to have a good soundtrack, and a good soundtrack has to come from good inspiration. Levy not only found good composers, but also provided inspiration, and when it came to music, what was there to worry about?

The picture, the music, the script, all aspects, the movie is very well prepared - when Naomi saw this crew, she couldn't help but admire in her heart: to be able to assemble such a good crew so quickly, it is worthy of Levy.

Of course, when Naomi said this, she didn't forget to look at the actors in the crew.

Like the actors that Levy usually chooses, the actors selected by Levy this time also have the same amazing level. Whether it's the main character or the supporting role, the people picked by Levy are quite good.

It's just that every time her eyes fall on Scarlett, Naomi always feels a little unhappy - especially when she thinks of Levy's talent, this unhappiness grows even worse. (To be continued......)
