0353 [Nightwatchman Second Start]
The theme of "Night Watchman", Shao Shuaijun has always thought it is very cool and interesting. But at the beginning, due to his self-confidence, he became impetuous, and made a good subject into a bad movie. For the second filming this time, Shao Shuaijun decided to add clarity to the places that could not be described on the basis of the original.
At the same time, it also sublimates the content of the story.
Originally, he hid clues for the sequel in "Night Watchman", such as the person who saved the protagonist Thomas, and the person who told Thomas that he had superpowers, but he didn't explain, and he originally planned that "Night Watchman" would be a blockbuster and formulate a sequel. And this time, Shao Shuaijun decided to push all this down and not make a sequel.
In the movie "Night Watchman", Thomas gets the ability to pass through the mirror, so he becomes a night watchman and is on duty for justice at night, but he accidentally causes a very bad impact and discovers that good and evil are not absolute.
In the revised version, Shao Shuaijun completely changes the story, and Thomas is no longer a superpower owner, but a psychopersecutive paranoia. The continuity of the story is still dominated by the footage of the original, Thomas passes through the mirror, justice, and hot battles everywhere, with injuries and blood.
And the added part is the shot of the prison part, Thomas is not a night watchman at all in reality, he is just a psychopath who feels guilty for killing his wife. The reason why he has a series of superpowers that pass through the mirror is that he swallows a small mirror, then vomits in prison and fantasizes about it.
In the whole movie, the general shots are still the original lenses, but a few sets of shots are added. can perfectly subvert the plot of the movie......
Filming of the film began in early January.
Filmed on a set of an abandoned prison in San Francisco.
It's the 15th, and it's been more than a week since shooting.
"Jack, wait a minute when you're holding the little mirror, pay attention to the angle. I'm going to shoot a shot of you in the mirror looking into one of your eyes. "Shao Shuaijun gave Jack in the prisoner's prop suit. Gyllenhill, explaining the script, "At this time, your expression must have a paranoid smile, your eyes must be crazy, and you have to imagine that you are not looking in the mirror, but entering the identity of the night watchman." Justice outside the prison. Do you understand? ”
"Understood." Gyllenhill nodded.
The filming of "Thor" has ended, and Gyllen Hill successfully entered the crew. "Night Watchman" suffered a big loss that year. Gyllen Hill also held his breath, and now he is filming for the second time, and his performance is very devoted.
explained the script to Gyllenhill, and Shao Shuaijun reached out to let the heroine come over. The actress who plays it. Not a well-known actor. It's called Kelly. Nest. Back then, she was just a female supporting actress who played the role of stabbing the male protagonist in "Night Watchman". In the secondary version, Kylie was reborn as the heroine.
More than just playing the teacher's girlfriend of a drug dealer. also play the role of the male protagonist's wife, as well as a female police officer in prison. It's not that Shao Shuaijun can't afford to hire an actress, but the plot needs it.
"Kelly, your character is still a little flawed, I hope you can pay attention to it, when you beat Thomas, you have to show a rational side, you don't mean to be angry, but because you hate Thomas's nervousness, you want to force the will of Thomas, understand? Your three roles are all symbolic, symbolizing the law, how the law strengthens the will of women, and it is standing at the height of reason! ”
"I think I get it, director." Kelly is now a mother of two children, "Night Watchman" suffered a big loss, she couldn't stay in Hollywood, and even her figure was out of shape after marrying a woman, and it took a while to recover after emergency training.
The secondary filming plan has been lingering in Shao Shuaijun's mind for a long time, so this time the filming progress is a thousand miles in a day, and the workload is completed in advance every day.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the month.
Negotiations with New Line have been smooth, and the rights to Blade Warrior have been successfully recovered. Marvel Comics announced the news on the official website for the first time: "Good news, after friendly negotiations with New Line Studios, the copyright of Blade has returned to Marvel Comics, and the film adaptation of Blade is also being recreated, however, because of the schedule, Blade may not appear in the first set." ”
Just one day later, Marvel Comics released a new message: "Good news, after friendly negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox, the rights of Daredevil have been returned to Marvel Comics." The Fantastic Four's copyright has also signed an intention to return it, and deep negotiations are underway on the conditions for the return. ”
Comic book fans are ecstatic that it is possible to join the Avengers once the superheroes return, and it must be a pleasure to see so many beloved superheroes come together.
What's even crazier is that in the afternoon of the same day, Marvel Comics announced new news: "Good news, after friendly negotiations with Sony, the copyright of the soul chariot has been returned to Marvel Comics." The film adaptation of the Chariot of Souls has begun, and if nothing else, it may join the first ensemble! ”
As soon as the plan to acquire MGM came out, Sony was attracted to the company, and in order to reach a cooperation and revitalize MGM, Sony's attitude changed rapidly, originally a non-cooperative attitude, but now it has become enthusiastic. It was under such circumstances that the Soul Chariot was successfully brought back.
As for Spider-Man, it's not easy to let go.
At the same time, Summit Entertainment also released the company's film schedule in 2011, which made other film companies nervous, Summit Entertainment is avoiding the big productions of other film companies, and they are not trying to avoid the box office bombs of Summit Entertainment.
And at the end of this month, Shao Shuaijun temporarily put down the crew and flew back to China.
He wanted to take a good look at his son, and it was almost a month, and he was crazy thinking about it. Video chatting, there is simply no solution to this longing.
"Baby son, do you miss your father?" As soon as he arrived home, Shao Shuaijun couldn't wait to pick up his son.
"Wow, wow, wow......" Xiao Shao cried very facelessly.
"Why haven't I been away for less than a month, and my son doesn't know me!" Shao Shuaijun depressedly handed over his son to Li Xiuxiu.
Li Xiuxiu coaxed her son and said, "Who told you not to go home for a month?" The baby is angry with you. ”
"My son is angry with me? No, no, no, this won't work! Shao Shuaijun immediately became nervous, and then watched the baby quiet in Li Xiuxiu's arms, and suddenly shouted, "I have decided, my son will follow me to the United States to make movies in the future!" As for your wife, just go to the United States to work, the network is so developed, you can work anywhere! ”
"Hehe, that's exactly what I was going to do." Li Xiuxiu shook Xiao Shao. Say. "Actually, I've thought about it, the core business part of Dream Chasing Entertainment Group is concentrated in Summit Entertainment, which is really not good. I'm going to start rectifying it. Spun off Summit Entertainment. Marvel Comics wants to be independent, and Obvious is also going to be independent and acquired later. It is also in the name of Summit Entertainment, in fact, Dream Chasing Entertainment Group came to acquire! So, for the next few years, I will also live in the United States temporarily. ”
"That's a good idea, let my parents move over, and we'll live in the United States for a while, and I guess I'll have to make movies in the United States this year." Shao Shuaijun said happily.
After the decision was made, Shao Shuaijun found his parents and Li Xiuxiu's parents to discuss going to the United States together. At first, they were reluctant, but when they thought of Shao Shuaijun's work, they finally compromised. Retire when it's time to retire, pack up when it's time to pack, and get ready to go to the United States.
The matter was decided, and Shao Shuaijun came to the Dream Chasing Film and Television Base with a good mood. Director Li Yu was already waiting for him at the film and television base, and after complaining, the two attended the press conference on February 2 together.
The hall of the press conference was already full of reporters.
Seeing the two big directors appear, the flash immediately flashed non-stop.
After sitting down, Shao Shuaijun blew the microphone: "There are really a lot of media friends here today, I'm glad you all cheered, I think you have all got the news, this is the release ceremony of director Li Yan's new movie." The movie is called Life of Pi and is adapted from Jan. Martel's novel "The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi", co-invested by Dream Chase Golden Harvest, Summit Entertainment and Dream Chase South Asia, will be filmed in 3D format. Let Director Li Yu introduce it to you. ”
Li Yu took the microphone and said with a smile: "When Director Shao told me about this book, I was still very worried, I thought the script was very big, and the story was also very big. Later, when I took the novel and read it completely, I thought it was a good challenge, especially when we decided to shoot in 3D, which was a very difficult thing, water and animals, it was very difficult to shoot. At the beginning, I said if I wanted to shoot 2D, Director Shao said to shoot 3D, and he had already made a lot of preparations for this movie, so I also wanted to try 3D. ”
"Why didn't Director Shao shoot it himself? Is it because of literary films, Director Shao of "Slumdog Millionaire" did not shoot it himself? A reporter asked.
Shao Shuaijun replied: "I like to make some movies that will do well at the box office, and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see the box office soaring." For art films, director Li Yu is better than me. ”
"In other words, this movie is at the box office, and you don't expect it?"
Li Yu replied: "I asked him at the beginning, do you want to make money or do you want stories, and when he said stories, I said that I would only shoot stories, and don't come to me to make money." ”
Shao Shuaijun added: "I have always had a great passion for the box office, but in the face of excellent stories, you will forget about the box office. This movie is like this, from the time we decided to shoot it, we forgot about the business, this movie should be presented to everyone with the most narrative side, and it would be better to get a little more box office when everyone sees a good story. ”
"When will the movie be released?"
"This depends on Director Li's speed." Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Yu.
"I'm not sure, because if I'm going to shoot in India, mainland China and Taiwan, it may take until 2012 or 2013 to shoot it," Li said. ”
When Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu were not far away from revealing the script, the media had nothing to ask, and soon the building was crooked.
"Director Shao, what is the situation of the second filming of "The Night Watchman", has the plot changed or not?"
Shao Shuaijun smiled: "It will be a completely different experience, although you have seen some scenes, but it will definitely bring another feeling." (To be continued......)
PS: When I was originally designing the plot, there were two versions of "The Night Watchman", one was a failed version and the other was a secondary version. The first time I wrote a book, I didn't grasp the rhythm well, and the character portrayal also failed, but when the failed version failed, the book was about to pounce...... I hope this secondary version can bring some different feelings, at least I personally think that the secondary version is still very cool. It is recommended that you go to the previous 0196 chapters to take a look at the failed version and deepen your impression, and there will be a secondary version in the subsequent chapters, a completely subversive plot.
(I suddenly found that I have a lot of saved manuscripts, haha, I uploaded this chapter to the backstage, it was January 8th...... This Chinese New Year, you don't have to worry about the update problem. )
