If there was one actor in this movie who asked Levy to pick his favorite, he would definitely have to say that it was Denzel Washington.

As an actor, Denzel Washington has always been one of the best actors in Hollywood.

This is not easy for him: Denzel Washington is quite good-looking, and his figure is also very strong, plus he is originally black, which determines that when he acts, the acting path is quite narrow: because of his appearance, he can't play a small person, because of his skin color, no one dares to give him a negative role, because of his figure, he can't play a weak character, he can play well, only a very limited number of roles.

However, what makes him great is that he plays these roles very well.

It stands to reason that if you have a positive character's face, you will naturally be able to show your own characteristics by playing more positive characters, but Denzel Washington's most suitable role is the kind of loyalty and treachery, with a righteous side and a cunning side, he can show the depth of such a character very well, so that the two sides of this person are well combined, which is what he is best at.

He was the type of person he just won in the film training day, and the role that Levi gave him, a rather scheming and unconventional policeman, happened to be such a role, and he was very good at it.

Especially in this movie, he still plays a policeman: he has played such a role more than once, and he is also very good at grasping the role of a policeman.

"The life of the police. I really have a heart, you know, I'm black. It's normal to play a cop or something, so I also tried to understand the life of a police officer. ”

Washington was also a little proud to hear Levy's praise, and even made jokes. However, he can make a joke about this race, and Levi wouldn't be stupid enough to make a joke about it.

He does have something to be proud of, though: if Tom Hanks succeeds. It's because he took the popular image of white characters to the extreme, so that people can accept them all, then. Washington's performance is to perform the image of black people to the extreme. Of course, because blacks are not mainstream, his status is hardly comparable to that of Tom Hanks. But. In his own role, he still played very well.

Moreover, he is not only excellent in acting, but also really good in terms of personality. Most of the black actors have a lot of problems, drug abuse, and alcoholism. women and even has dealings with gangsters. There are not a few. Although Denzel Washington has a good character, he also has a problem with alcoholism, and even found someone to detox because of excessive drinking. Levy has never used much black actors, and there is also a reason for this, because these people are too difficult to control.

Originally, Levi meant that he had to pay attention to acting, but what was surprising was that after he entered the crew, he never embarrassed Levy in the preparation for acting.

"I'm an actor, and I don't drink too much at work, and that's acceptable to me. Moreover, I am the boss of the cast and crew, if I don't shoot well, won't the others be even more nonsense? ”

In this regard, Denzel Washington also directly expressed his attitude when talking to Levy. And I have to say that his attitude made Levy feel very gratified.

Obviously, as a famous actor, he has a reason to succeed.

Among the actors, he can be said to be the fastest to enter the play, and after getting the script and reading through it carefully, he quickly understood his task.

"In this story, science is supposed to really play a role, but my character doesn't know science, so what I have to do is to do something to help other people. I can't save the world, but I'll help someone else save the world, right? ”

He quickly understood his task, and after understanding, he also liked this role very much, "This role is not bad, after all, I still played some role, and now in the movies that save the world, black people are only responsible for gags, compared to them, I still have some progress......"

Levy only laughed at this self-deprecation: he knew the consistent positioning of black characters in movies. However, this time he wasn't going to do that either. Since he was approached by Denzel Washington, he originally hoped to beautify the image of black people, so that black audiences could also accept the film.

In terms of box office appeal, Denzel Washington was also second only to Will Smith among all black actors in Hollywood.

Levy is quite satisfied with his speed of entering the film: as the highest-paid actor in this movie, he can enter the play so quickly, which can be said to be a very great benefit to the filming of the movie.

With his exemplary role, why worry about bad movie shooting? ――

When May arrives every year, it's a very happy season for movie fans.

The summer schedule is coming in May, and with it, a large number of commercial films are released every year, and this summer, too, when fans watch the release trailer of the movie, they can't help but be excited.

Just arrived in May, and an exciting movie this year has been released - as one of the top three superheroes in the United States, Spider-Man, the only superhero Spider-Man in the entire Marvel who can compete with DC's Superman and Batman, finally ushered in his own cinematic work this year.

This made many comic book fans quite excited, and they were all full of anticipation for this movie.

In addition, two weeks after the release of Spider-Man, Star Wars Prequel 2 will also be released. Although it was said that when the Star Wars prequel 1 was released, it had already disappointed many viewers a little, and they felt that it was much worse than the main one, but as long as it is still a Star Wars series, there is no need to worry, it is not filmed well enough.

And two weeks after the release of Star Wars Prequel 2, commercial blockbusters will continue to be released. Another commercial blockbuster, Resident Evil, was also released at this time.

This is the latest production from Enigma, which Columbia released the film. Although this movie is much worse than themes like Spider-Man and Star Wars, this game also has a lot of lovers, and they also have great enthusiasm and expectations for the game to be adapted into a movie.

On the one hand, this is due to their love for the apocalyptic horror atmosphere in the game, and I don't know how many people are infected by that environment when playing Resident Evil, and on the other hand, it is also due to their fear that after the game is adapted into a movie, the wonderful experience in the game will become less satisfying.

In the three-dimensional world, it is still difficult to play the two-dimensional story well. There are also many people who are skeptical about whether this movie will be successful.

However, even if it is a day, compared with the movies released at the same time, people are full of expectations for this movie. At this time, Paramount's shocking nuclear network also chose to be released. However, although Morgan Freeman played, I thought that the protagonist was Ben. Affleck, fans have a lot less expectations - this guy has ruined more than one blockbuster, there are bad movies like the end of the world and Pearl Harbor, and people have somewhat lost their expectations for his movies.

It's better to choose Resident Evil - maybe it's not good enough, but there's always a game foundation there. This summer, to be able to have Spider-Man, Star Wars Prequel 2, Resident Evil, these movies are enough.

It's just that, although it's enough, fans always want to see more good movies released, so many actors are also thinking about another question when watching the trailer of the movie: Levy said that he was going to shoot a movie, so when will the movie he shot be released?

Many people find the answer to this question not difficult to find: Mystery has set up a special website for Levy's new film, on which you can find the progress of his film.

It's just that this progress is a bit unsatisfactory.

The film is still shooting some of the simpler parts of the film, and according to the movie's homepage, the film will go to other places to shoot the subsequent exterior parts of the film after shooting the parts required in the early stage. This kind of shooting not only made the production of the film expensive, but also made the film very long to make.

When the film was ready to start shooting, it was about June, and it would take three or four months to complete the filming. Coupled with the time of post-production and publicity, it is basically hopeless for this film to be released this year, according to the scale of investment and shooting progress of the film, the most likely is to meet the audience again in May next year.

This is a slow pace, and it brings attention to another problem.

"At this rate...... In other words, this year Levy is equivalent to no work. ”

And after people calculated the progress of Levy's filming, they quickly came to a conclusion.

For a whole year, no movie was released, and this was the first time for Levy. In previous years, he was even able to come up with two movies a year, which can be said to be a Hollywood model worker-level director, but this time there are no works a year, which also makes people feel that something is missing.

However, such a thing is not particularly surprising. After all, Levy is now shooting a real blockbuster, since it is a blockbuster, then it will definitely be time-consuming and laborious, unlike literary films that can produce works in three weeks, as a commercial blockbuster It takes more than a year is nothing, and even longer is not nothing, Levy's film takes more than a year, which is also normal.

It's a little frustrating to shoot for so long, but Levy's willingness to spend so much time and energy to make a movie also makes people a little excited: a good director is willing to spend so much effort, this movie must be shot very well, right? (To be continued......)
