"Mr. Lin, do you think the same way?" The choice of director of the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has always been controversial, and now reporters want to hear the explanation of Lin Mu, the acting producer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If you've seen the film The Fifth Element. Then you will think that it is natural for Mr. Luc Besson to be the director of this film. For a magical film like a fairy tale, Mr. Luc Besson's creativity and imagination are what I value the most. ”

In fact, the selection of directors has always been a headache for the producers, according to Ms. Rowling's thinking, she needs a director who can follow the original story, but this requirement itself is somewhat difficult. When a director shoots a movie, he or she has to recreate it on the basis of the script, and if he just shoots according to the script, the value of the director cannot be reflected. Among the many directors selected, only Mr. Luc Besson's conception meets this condition, so I believe that everyone will see more than just the original story in this film. You will also see an imagination full of Luc Besson's directorial style! ”

"Mr. Luc Besson, do you think the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will satisfy the fans?" Another reporter stood up.

"When every reader reads a novel, he or she transforms the words in the book into a living character in his or her mind. Different people have completely different imaginations, and it's impossible to match the ideals that every reader has in mind, so our production staff just try to meet as many people's ideas as possible and that's an important principle when directing and shooting, Luc Besson explains.

"In order to find out what fans think of the film, we also commissioned a poll of children from a number of media outlets. It turned out that the children's main concern was whether the film could recreate the magical scenes depicted in the book, such as the mysterious valley of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the strange creatures that appeared in the story, the grand Quidditch tournament, and so on. This is a time when adults and children compete in their imaginations, can the movies made by adults guess the scenes depicted in the hearts of children? This is indeed not an easy task. ”

"Mr. Lin, do you think the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will be a successful commercial film?" Regardless of what critics say about the film "Harry Potter: The Philosopher's Stone". People are most concerned about the box office of the film, and for commercial films, the box office is the public vote of the people on the film, which is more meaningful than any comments.

"The success of a commercial film is manifold. The attractive plot, the martyrly special effects, the promotion of the promotion, etc., all of these important factors are already in this film, the novel "Harry and Potter" has 600 million fans around the world, and the film will be released simultaneously in thousands of theaters in North America, which gives me reason to believe that this film will set a new record at the opening day box office and global box office. At least the box office record of children's films, Lin Mu's predictions have always been accurate, and it can be seen that he himself is full of confidence in this film.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone did not disappoint the film's creators, with an unprecedented premiere in Europe and North America pushing the film to the top of the box office. The strong appeal of the original novel was finally reflected in the film's blowout box office. Although the 160 million box office did not set a new global box office record, the film raised the global box office record for children's films by $400 million. And for a long time, no film of its kind has been able to surpass.

The popularity of the "Harry Potter" film exceeded Lin Mu's expectations. After the film ended its release. The filming of a sequel to the film was on Paramount's agenda. The director is still Luc Besson, who has won the trust of both the producer and the original author with his accurate grasp of this work, and the script is completed by him and the original author Rowling, and the film is still shot with the original crew.

This is Paramount's first new film shooting plan announced this year, and the popularity of the Harry Potter film has made people talk about whether the film can make money, but how much money the film can make for the producers. So when Paramount announced the news, everyone was not surprised, but Paramount then announced the shooting plan for a new film, which surprised everyone.

After Warner Bros. suffered a "box office waterloo" on "Batman", no company has yet been willing to touch a movie that adapts the comic book heroes, and the news just announced by Paramount is very clear that Lin Mu is ambitious and ready to touch this "minefield" again'' Paramount bought the permanent use of the superhero character Spider-Man from Marvel Comics this time.

As a long-lasting legendary hero under Marvel Comics, Spider Man first appeared in the last issue of the "Magical Fantasy" comic book of La Nian, "In the new year, because of the great success of Spider Girl, "Amazing Fantasy" was renamed "The Amazing Spider Man". In the following decades, the Spider-Man comics sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, and the superhero became a highly recognized and beloved super-icon.

As soon as the news of Paramount's preparation to put Spider-Man on the screen was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties, and at this stage, people are still most concerned about the director of the film "Spider-Man". Many well-known directors in Hollywood have shown strong interest in this film, but there are no people among them who are particularly interested in the producers, and before he can find a suitable candidate, Lin Mu began to contact different directors and listen to them explain their shooting plans.

"Very well, Mr. Gabitt, I admit that your idea sounds very good, but unfortunately it is not what we need!" Lin Mu has been receiving visiting Hollywood directors these days, but none of his ideas can satisfy him.

Seeing off this Mr. Gabitt, Lin Mu sighed softly, "Levine, this is the first one today?" ”

"Mr. Gabit is the sixth visitor of the day!" The assistant looked through the appointment records. "There's also a director named Sam Raimi who has made an appointment with you today, he's already here, do you want to meet him now?"

"Wait, what's the director's name?" Lin Mu suddenly felt that the name was a little familiar.

"Sam a Remy!" The assistant thought that Lin Mu didn't hear his pronunciation clearly, and deliberately spelled out the director's name.

"Sam a Remy?" Lin Mu became more and more sure where he seemed to have heard this name, "Do you have his resume or information there?" Or what particularly famous films did he direct before? ”

"I have his information here, but he hasn't made any well-known films, and Lin Mu's assistant dug up Sam Raimi's information: "He doesn't have a lot of works, but he shot the low-budget thriller horror film "Evil Dead". At that time, it was popular with many teenagers. The film was later hailed as a classic of horror films of the 80s, and he followed it up with two sequels in the following and third years, making the film a series. ”

In his last year, he collaborated with the Coen brothers, who were also making a name for themselves in the independent film industry at the time, and directed their book "Insect Hunting", which was full of imagination and cartoonish imagination. He followed up with several other films, but they didn't have much of a hit. ”

"He's all about horror movies?. In Lin Mu's memory, there was indeed a well-known director in Hollywood who loved horror movies, but he forgot the name of that person, and the reason why he remembered that director was because he was the director who filmed "Spider-Man" in his later life.

"Judging from his existing works, your judgment should be valid." The assistant looked through the information of the mountain sister Remy, and almost all the movies he made were horror movies.

"Mr. Sam Remy, please, maybe we can talk." Lin Mujue still needs to meet this director who feels very familiar to him.

"Nice to meet you!" A few minutes later. Lin Mu saw this mountain demon Mr. Remi in his office, a very unfamiliar face, Lin Mu could be sure that he had never seen this person before.

"It's also an honor to meet you!" Sam Raimi knows that this young man with a smile in front of him is not simple, the chairman of Hollywood's most powerful film production company, a legend who has lifted six Oscars, how

"You love making horror movies? Lin Mu asked a question that seemed a little out of place.

"In fact, not only do I love making horror movies, but I'm also a fan of Japanese horror movies, and I love the thrill of it!" Sam Remy said honestly.

"So it's easy to imagine Spider-Man flying freely between tall buildings, and you know how to represent that kind of image and then make that image give the audience that real thrill?" From Sam Raimi's answer, Lin Mu had already grasped something, "It's like a roller coaster, and you can make the audience sitting in the cinema feel that kind of excitement, right?" ”

"You, how did you know I had such thoughts?" Lin Mu expressed everything Sam Raimi wanted to say, which made him not know what to say now.

"Because he's a director who is good at making horror films. There should be an accurate grasp of the thrill of falling from a high altitude, which is just a little guess on my part. Let's get down to business. Are you interested in this movie? Lin Mu smiled, and he pulled the topic back.

"I've been a big fan of Spider-Man since I was a kid, and my parents gave me a portrait of Spider-Man for my 12th birthday, which I still have Sam Raimi telling him how much he loves Spider-Man, and admiring and admiring the work of Marvel Comics over the years. But these are not what the forest needs. He tells Sam Remy that every director who has come to him is a fan of Spider-Man, and their passion for Spider-Man is no weaker than that of Sam Remy.

"What I need is your idea of how to bring the successful comic book character of Spider-Man to the screen. Through that we can determine if you are the person we want.

Lin Mu interrupted Sam Raimi to express his love for Spider-Man enthusiastically, something he had heard many times today.

Mountain sister Yi Remy smiled a little awkwardly, he knew that he was a little off-topic. He paused for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and then said, "For readers and fans who are entering middle age, Spider-Man is of great significance. I decided to focus on the real side of the characters, capture the soul and essence of Spider-Man, and do my best to create the best story possible. ”

Seeing Lin Mu's thoughtful look, Sam Raimi knew that his thoughts had touched him. This gave him a lot of confidence, and he continued: "Spider-Man is a pound. Pure comic book character. On the one hand, he has special skills, and on the other hand, he has a lot of troubles and problems on weekdays. I wanted to show the story of a superhero from the perspective of an ordinary person in the film. I think this kind of treatment can make the hero of Spider Man closer to the life of ordinary people, because taking off the coat of a hero, he is a very ordinary person in life, with joys, sorrows and sorrows like us, and living like everyone else. ”

"However, superpowers will cause him a lot of trouble, from not adapting at the beginning, to fully integrating into the role of this hero, and I think this is something that the film should focus on. My personal opinion is that heroes are not born, and the film should focus on the process of Spider-Man's growth, telling the audience how he gradually grew from an ordinary person to a superhero with special abilities, and Sam Raimi explained his point of view in detail.

Lin Mu felt that Sam Raimi's idea was very special, before him, all the directors focused their filming on how Spider-Man fought against the evil forces, only Sam Raimi explained from a human perspective that the so-called superhero is still essentially just an ordinary person with special abilities, this idea is very unique. It's also very attractive.

"And what is the essence and soul of what you call Spider-Man?" Lin Mu asked without moving.

"I think it's a kind of heroic plot that is common in people's minds, and human beings sometimes seem very small, so they always hope that there is a supernatural force that can protect them. So in people's imagination, superheroes like Spider-Man were born. And in the film, when the protagonist realizes that he has this power, he gradually understands that the greater the ability. The greater the responsibility, so he learns to use his superpowers to punish evil and promote good! Sam Remy explained.

"Very wonderful, I admit that your ideas touched me." Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, after interviewing so many directors, he finally found the right person in his mind. "On behalf of the producers, I am pleased to announce to you that you have been selected!"

"That's all the interviews?. Sam Raimi didn't expect that he would pass the producer's interview so smoothly.

"I think you're the best fit, it's that simple!" Lin Mu looked at him with a relaxed expression. "Congratulations, Mr. Sam Remy!"
