"So have you figured out how to design and shoot the highly conceptual martial arts scenes in the script?" After having a comprehensive understanding of the entire conceptual concept and basic content of "The Matrix", Lin Mu finally brought the topic back to reality. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info All actors are like after, how to show the Wachowski brothers' ideas. And try to make the audience understand it, which becomes the top priority of the film.

"We wanted to use super slow motion to represent those conceptual fighting moves." Andy Wachowski's words reminded Lin Mu of the classic shot of the film's male protagonist Neo dodging bullets.

"We invented a technique called bullet time photography, in which the crew first designed the movements, then shot them with a regular camera, and then scanned the captured images into a computer. A laser-guided tracking system is used to map out camera movements that are not up to the end of the scene. A large number of cameras are then placed in the action path, each taking only one static image, which is scanned into a computer, which uses this information to generate a coherent movement in between. In the end, a series of pictures are displayed in front of the audience slowly or quickly. ”

"Once you accept the digital reality of the world, human capabilities change as well. Therefore, after the characters in the film download the necessary information to their brains, they will become masters like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. Larry Wachowski gave his opinion on the abilities of the characters in the film, and he also mentioned two very famous kung fu superstars in the Chinese film industry, in the eyes of many foreigners. They are all masters of kung fu.

"But neither Cheng Long nor Li Lianjie will appear in this film." Lin Mu said regretfully.

"So we need an action director who is familiar with Chinese kung fu, and you should know a lot of good talent in this area." Andy Wachowski immediately made their request.

"I've already discussed this issue with Mr. Yuen Ho Ping from Hong Kong, and he has shown a very keen interest in the scripts of the two of them."

"Mr. Yuan Heping? That's great! The Tichowski brothers have always admired Yuan Heping's work, and in their minds, Yuan Heping is the ideal candidate.

"But Mr. Yuan made a request to me that the participants in the performance must be trained in person. Dedicate a lot of time to learning kung fu and the art of wire hanging. Actors have to get used to tightrope first. Then hang them in the air and learn to keep your balance. The hardest part is balancing when you land. It had to look very natural, and then he started learning kung fu Lin Mu handed the practice plan drawn up by Yuan Heping to the Wachowski brothers.

Although they knew that practice was very necessary, the Wachowski brothers looked embarrassed after seeing this practice: "This requirement is a problem for us, because the whole practice time is a long time, and these actors may be filming other films at the same time, how can we talk to them?" ”

"Quite simply, they had to make a small choice between starring in this film and taking care of other films. You can stress to the actors that this is not going to be a sci-fi blockbuster. It will also be a movie that will change their fate. Practice is not only a job for them, but also an opportunity, and I think they should know how to choose! In addition to buying the rights to the film, Paramount invested $40 million in the film. Lin Mu said this, just to make the Wachowski brothers clear a reason. It is the film that chooses the actors, not the actors who choose the film.

"Sir. This is an official letter from New York University! After sending off the Wachowski brothers, Lin Mu's assistant knocked on his office with a blue letter, and when receiving the Wachowski brothers, the courier company sent a registered letter, and the assistant signed for him and handed it to him as soon as possible.

"Are you sure it's NYU?" Lin Mu took the letter, and the payment was indeed New York University. This made Lin Mu feel strange, if he received a letter from the University of California, Los Angeles. Lin Mu was not surprised at all. During the holidays, he would often receive congratulatory letters in the name of the school, and he would be invited to attend some major celebrations at his alma mater. But he didn't come from New York University, and he didn't usually associate with the school. A letter that suddenly appeared made Lin Mu feel a little confused.

When the envelope was opened, the answer was revealed, although the letter was sent in the name of New York University, it was the New York University Film School that actually invited Lin Mu. In Greenwich Village, New York, there is an academy that creates art in light and shadow, and it is open to all those who are passionate and motivated by film, and always generously give the greatest help to creative artists and scholars who are concerned with the contemporary world.

The film school founded by this academy perfectly blends Hollywood commercial films and European art films, and the film masters cultivated by it. Move seamlessly between directing, cinematography and acting, and express yourself perfectly in the fields of recording, lighting and editing. Over the years, the school's recording studio has become a regular visitor to the Grammys, and it's the New York University Film School.

In the letter, Lin Mu learned that the New York University Film School is holding a discussion on the future development of commercial and art films, and invited many well-known directors and producers in the Hollywood film industry to participate in the discussion. As the chairman of Paramount and a representative figure of Hollywood commercial film production, Lin Mu also received an invitation from the organizers. The NYU School of Film hopes that he will give a keynote speech to students on this topic.

The New York University Film School is the cradle of Hollywood film talents, and Martin Scorsese, the father of Hollywood directors, completed the sharp transformation from a young man to a film master here; Ang Lee, a famous Taiwanese director in China, sowed the ideal of a Chinese crossing the pinnacle of film here. This small event held by the hospital can be regarded as a top gathering of Hollywood movies, and the topic of discussion Lin Mu is also very interested, so he gladly accepted the invitation.

Lin Mu's speech in the auditorium of the New York University Film School was a success, starting with the rise of technical cinema and sharing with the audience some of his thoughts on Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption. He pointed out that commercial films are inevitable for the development of film industrialization, and they inevitably conflict with the creative concept of art films. The industrialization of film has promoted the development of film technology, and the emergence of commercial films is not only the promotion of the industry, but also the needs of modern fast-paced social lifestyle. The creation of films has evolved from creator-oriented to audience-oriented, which is the most essential difference between the transformation of art films and commercial films.

As a representative of the trend of Hollywood commercial blockbusters, Lin Mulai's speech naturally does not focus on art films, and he leaves all the strong passages to commercial films. After looking forward to the broad prospects for the future development of commercial films. Lin Mu also raised his own concerns about the development of commercial films. He pointed out that the producers of today's commercial films blindly pursue high-cost and large-scale productions, while directors put too much experience into how to use pictures and special effects to attract audiences, and forget the unique charm of the film story itself.

He went on to talk about the creation of commercial film scripts, and as a screenwriter, he believes that Hollywood still does not recognize the importance of screenwriting to a film.

He did not shy away from pointing out that the current situation of Hollywood directors wearing multiple hats is actually a regression of industrial development. Industrial development is the continuous refinement of the division of labor, and the division of labor between screenwriters and directors in film production is different, the former shapes the soul of the film, and then transforms this soul into a realistic form of expression.

Lin Mu said that there is no lack of creativity in commercial films now, but a large number of movies have poor plots. What the audience sees is just a ** dressed in a gorgeous coat and without a soul, such a movie is novel the first time you watch it, and it will be boring the second time. While the vast majority of moviegoers don't spend twice to walk into a movie and watch the same film, the visual thrill doesn't last, but when all imaginable special effects are exhausted, what will commercial films do to attract future audiences?

As the end of his speech, Lin Mu left his thoughts on this issue to the audience. Seeing that most of the people in the audience had thoughtful expressions in their eyes, Lin Mu knew that the purpose of this speech had been achieved. To his slight regret, he was not the first to stand in the auditorium of the New York University School of Film, which bestowed this honor on its own students. After Li Lou finished filming "The Incredible Hulk", he was invited to give a speech here.

The event didn't end there, after the speaker presented his opinion, he had to take questions from the audience. Such an opportunity to ask Lin Mu a direct question, and not be dragged away, made the media present begin to envy these film academy students sitting in the audience. But the opportunity to ask questions is limited, so it is only the lucky ones who can get this opportunity to let Chairman Paramount know himself.

To Lin Mu's surprise, it was not the film school students who were given the first opportunity to ask questions. Rather, it is a middle-aged professor with a big beard. "Sheng believes that movies should be oriented to the needs of the audience, so for most male audiences, erotic/erotic films are undoubtedly the most attractive to them. Students who know this professor know him as a staunch supporter of the arts.

Encountering such a sharp question at the beginning, Lin Mu knew that the question seemed to be unkind, so he smiled slightly, "According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, sex is only the most basic physiological need of human beings, and movies bring people a higher level of spiritual enjoyment. As a means of expression in art films, the theme it wants to reveal is not sexuality. I think that when you watch this type of movie, you are only stimulated by instinctive physiological impulses, and you can't see the deeper artistic connotation of the film, so I can only regret to tell you that you are not suitable for film work, because you don't have the mind of a filmmaker at all! ”

Lin Mu's answer was brilliant and ironic, and the professor who asked the question became more and more embarrassed by the warm applause and boos of the audience, and if it weren't for his own demeanor and image in front of the students, he would have left the table angrily.

After appreciating Lin Mu's quick reaction and sharp words, several young professors who were eager to try just now chose to give up, and the moderator on the scene also intended to leave more opportunities for students to ask questions. So the second person who got the opportunity to ask a question was a very tall young man.

"Hello sir, my name is Philip Hughes, and I studied screenwriting, so I would like to know what kind of criteria I need to enter your screenwriting studio after graduation.

"Your question tells me that you are still receiving a relevant education in the school system, and I envy your good fortune to be able to study professional screenwriting in such an excellent school. If you want to get in, I think first you need to do your studies seriously and then get your degree. The accumulation of learning now will determine how far you can go in the future. Lots of good screenwriters. It takes a wealth of life and experience to be able to write a masterpiece that truly touches the soul. Of course, if you're just trying to make ends meet, then I think what the professors in the school teach you is enough! ”

"We don't have a set standard for the selection of members, we need people who have special skills, ideas and are good at teamwork, where your ideas can only be part of the script, and you have to learn to think from the perspective of the group and express it with the voice of the group. Of course, we also encourage our members to create their own works, and good works can also be invested. ”

"Hello, I'm Michael Divon and I think you raised the ......

"Hello, I'm Katie Potter and I think what you're talking about ......"

In the face of all kinds of questions from the students of the New York University Film School, Lin Mu patiently answered them one by one, although he has always been a little resistant to questions in front of the media, but standing on this podium, he still won the applause of the audience with his humorous conversation and wise and agile thinking.

At the end of the event, Lin Mu was about to leave the auditorium, accompanied by the on-site staff. Suddenly a person was squeezed out of the crowd. blocked his way. The security personnel beside Lin Mu were about to pull away this "fish that slipped through the net", but Lin Mu saw a very familiar face. In the memory of his previous life, he has a deep memory of this charming sexy stunner. But he still didn't expect to meet a beautiful woman here.

If Lin Mu is not mistaken, she has just co-starred in a film with a group of powerful movie stars, including Sean Conrally, Ryan Philip, and Gillian Anderson. Although the film itself did not receive much response, her acting skills in the film received numerous praises. Then I heard that she decided to stop acting for a while. It turned out that he ran to New York University to "recharge". (To be continued.) )
