Duke and George? Of course, Lucas has no contradictions, these are all for the needs of publicity, in Hollywood's propaganda and marketing strategy, a pair of mortal enemies presented to the media and the public may be close friends, and friends can also become enemies who do not share the sky.

Of course, whether it is the producer Lucasfilm or Warner Bros., in fact, they don't want George? Lucas's real c-hand "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

The media will inevitably ask George? For a question like Lucas, "creative disagreement" can be said to be the most appropriate excuse.

"Creative differences" can also be simply said to be "disagreement", Hollywood companies will not like undisciplined employees, directors who pursue personality excessively will make the producer's status empty, in this circle, who pays is the boss, how can the director or actor do what he wants?

Sequel directors of Hollywood blockbuster films are also the norm, and "creative differences" are the best excuse for the replaced directors, in fact, most of the replaced directors either quit on their own initiative, or the directed works did not meet expectations, and the other point is that the asking price is too high.

Many people must have heard of many examples of actors asking too high for the film company to turn them away, and the same is true for directors.

Because a gold-absorbing masterpiece quickly became popular, its value is rising, and "controlling costs" is one of the means to make money, and the filmmaker may be reluctant to bear this huge salary.

After the success of "Alien" in 1979, Twentieth Century Fox did not recall director Ridley? Scott, and instead threw an olive branch to James, who was favored for "The Terminator"? Cameron, Ridley? Scott expressed surprise when he recalled the incident years later, and couldn't believe that the filmmaker didn't come to him, but he also admitted that if he was at the helm of the sequel, his asking price would be high.

The direct purpose of the filmmaker is to make money, and no one is willing to risk losing money and smashing the budget.

George in retirement? Lucas doesn't seem to have too many scruples, in addition to cooperating with the promotion of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", he also frequently fires at the traditional production model of Hollywood.

On a CBS news program, he talked about the upheaval taking place in the Hollywood industry today. Bombardment of Hollywood studios: "Hollywood is becoming less and less creative and imaginative these days. ”

"If a movie isn't good enough, most of the reason is the movie giants. The early eight studios were both artistic and commercial, and they found a steady stream of interesting novels and stories that were then adapted into films. But now Hollywood is fully seized by financial capital, they don't understand the film business at all, and talented directors can't display their talents under today's Hollywood system. ”

George? Lucas considered himself lucky to have worked on the Star Wars franchise in an era when a producer at Twentieth Century Fox gave him a lot of creative freedom.

"He loved my American Paintings. Therefore, he believes in my vision very much, and he will try to help me achieve anything I ask. He thinks that there are some things that are my specialty, so he doesn't interfere with how a dog handles the picture of flying around a spaceship! However, in today's world, it's really hard to meet a producer like that! ”

George? Lucas's words are quite meaningful, but he alone cannot change the situation in Hollywood, and only after retirement, George? How could Lucas say that.

At the end of the day, he's still a beneficiary of the Hollywood system.

This matter was inevitably contacted by the media to Duke's head. A lot of the media thinks that George? Lucas's target is Duke, after all, Duke can be said to be the representative of Hollywood's industrial assembly line model.

"Duke? Will Rosenberg's Star Wars: The Force Awaken be a great success, or will it hack a classic? ”

News commentaries like this circulate in the media and on the Internet, and serve as excellent promotional videos, and only when there is controversy can there be a topic.

On the set in Iceland, the American reporters who followed here also deliberately asked George? Lucas interviewed Duke, and Duke was rather humble, and these were for the sake of publicity, and it was one thing to get attention. Lucas's friendship with the Rosenberg family is another aspect.

Duke said he was impressed with George? Lucas's gratitude and respect are limitless, "He used the resources available to him to develop digital special effects, digital editing, digital sound and digital photography. He opened the door for me to take what I wanted in my mind and turn it into a work. ”

Although there is no mention of George? Lucas's ability to tell stories, but Duke spoke highly of his ability to create and revolutionize Hollywood's cinematic technology. "I think he has contributed so much more to the film industry than he has ever been rewarded, is he the Thomas of the film industry? Edison, if not George? Lucas's innovation back then may not have the current "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" series or even superhero movies. ”

This is all Duke's promotional and marketing efforts in addition to filming with Lucasfilm and Warner Bros.

His main work at this stage. It's better to finish the filming as soon as possible.

The forest park in Iceland was cleared, and all the media reporters and unrelated personnel who might have caused the next shooting scene to be leaked in advance were invited out of the forest park by the security personnel of the crew and the management of the park.

Next, at Duke's strong request, not only did the management of Forest Park launch the filming location, but even most of the crew had to leave, even if it was like Oscar? Stars like Isaac are no exception.

Those who were able to stay on the set to participate in the filming work signed strict confidentiality agreements.

There are only three actors in this scene, playing the villain Kylo? Len's Lee? Pace, Daniel who played the actor Finn? Wu and Daisy, who plays the heroine Rey? Ridley.

"The film crew is ready!"

"The actor is ready!"

"The lights are ready!"

"Props are ready!"

All departments are ready, Daniel? Wu and Lee? Pace walked in front of the camera where the "snowflakes" fell, and after Duke gave an order, they each waved their lightsabers in their hands and started a lightsaber battle.

Shooting is interrupted non-stop, and the action director Jimmy? Every now and then, Carter corrects Daniel? Wu and Lee? Pace's action, but also filming, although Daniel? Wu held a lightsaber, but his actual combat power was not high, and he was no match for the members of the Skywalker family who possessed the powerful Force at all.

Star Wars pioneered lightsaber combat, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens naturally faced this unique challenge, as the previous prop lightsaber was coated with front projection material, which was easily damaged, and the light effect weakened when the material left the axis, so optical superposition was required.

This time, Duke used in-machine processing to achieve more important and impressive results.

These interactive live lighting effects created with lightsabers are also enough to get Star Wars fans excited, and building them so that they emit enough light to start a battle is not difficult for Duke and the professionals, as they can program the amount of light and balance the color temperature of the scene, and can establish the behavior pattern of the lighting, so when the two lightsabers collide, they will burst into a bright light - in a dark environment, this becomes the main light source.

When replacing the lightsaber with digital effects, unlike previous films, Duke was able to easily increase the brightness without having to change the direction of the light without cheating.

At the end of an afternoon of filming, after countless fragmented shots, this crucial fight scene came to an end, Daniel? Wu was knocked to the ground, and the Skywalker lightsaber he was holding also flew out of his hand, and Rey, who was lying on the ground, stretched out his hand......

“cut！” Duke shouted a halt, "That's all for today." ”

The crew began to pack up the set and equipment, and Duke got up from the director's chair, the weather in Iceland is definitely not warm, it is already very close to the North Pole, plus the sky is a little heavy, and there is a cold wind blowing in the forest from time to time, which makes him unconsciously shiver when he just came from the Abu Dhabi desert.

Tina in the back? Fei sent over a cup of hot tea in time, "Take a sip to warm up." ”

"Thank you." Duke nodded slightly to her, and was not polite, took a sip, the temperature of the tea was just right, rolled down his throat and into his stomach, and his whole body became warm, "Tina, you can also drink some, the cold wind has been blowing here for so long." ”

Tina? Fei twisted the thermos pot for tea and said with a smile, "When you were shooting, I had already drunk it." ”

An assistant director walked over to clean up Duke's director's workbench, and Duke shook his head to get himself out of the filming job and asked, "Is there any news worth paying attention to in North America lately?" ”

"You'd better call Scarlett back in the evening." Tina? Fei solemnly admonished, "She complained a little that you didn't attend the premiere of "Captain America 2". ”

"Hmm." Duke tightened his coat, "Remember to remind me at night." ”

"One more thing." Tina? Phyye continued, "Our donation to the USC Film School in the name of Star Wars has been responded to by USC, and now Warner-owned media is ready to report on it. ”

Duke thought for a moment and said, "You're in charge of following up on this. ”

After that press conference, Duke founded a film foundation in the name of Star Wars and made a $10 million donation to the USC Film School specifically to support Chinese and Latino students at the USC Film School, the largest single donation to a student in USC history.

Is there a job in this area? Faye stared enough.

With Tina? After the Faye chatted, Duke went to the staff who sealed the film to take a look, although the filming of "Star Wars: Far from Awakening" went well, everything could not be careless. (To be continued.) )
