Chapter 734: The Third Man
"So, do you think Mike Neville can succeed him?"
David asked.
"It can only be said that the quality is enough!"
Charlotte shook her head,
"Specifically, you definitely need to talk about it. However, I am afraid that he will not be able to direct the series for long. ”
"Why?"
"It's also because of his style!"
Charlotte shrugged and said,
"A director whose style is too delicate will have a hard time directing commercial blockbusters - such directors are actually more suitable for literary films or small- and medium-budget romance films, and when they are in charge of commercial films, they will find it difficult for them to endure for a long time in the face of the need for performances to make way for special effects from time to time. Moreover, they are also prone to get caught up in some details and ignore the whole film. ”
"That's really ......"
David smiled bitterly, and lowered the rating of Mike Neville in his heart because of Charlotte's previous praise.
"Then I'll talk about the second candidate!"
Seeing Charlotte nod, David continued,
Alfonso Cuarón, Mexican director. He has a deep connection with Hollywood, and "Your Mother Is the Same", which was released in Mexico this year, is his work, and the current evaluation is quite good. ”
"Alfonso Cuarón, ah......"
Charlotte sighed.
Charlotte, the future Mexican director, naturally knows.
After all, the first best director of Latino in Oscar history is still very eye-catching-
Although there are not many movies directed by this person, and there are not many high-grossing movies, a "Gravity" is enough to attract attention.
You must know that "Gravity" is a science fiction film, and the Oscars have always discriminated against science fiction movies.
- Alfonso Cuarón is not only the first Latino best director in Hollywood history, but also the first director to win the statuette with a science fiction movie.
Such a person, Charlotte naturally knows.
- Although, to a large extent, it was because he was obsessed with the film "Gravity".
You must know that most of the time in "Gravity", it is actually a one-man show for the heroine, which is simply the best choice for the Oscar queen.
This movie can make Sandra Bullock, whose face was already full of hyaluronic acid at the time, be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, and it will naturally be no problem for Charlize to play it.
- At the beginning, Charlotte agreed to collaborate with Charlize on another movie, but she actually thought of this "Gravity".
This movie can be said to be tailor-made for Charlotte, who is not very good at the literary themes that Oscar likes.
After all, although Charlize did not make any demands on the quality of the film, Charlotte, as a husband and director, could not afford not to take it lightly.
- He still has some thoughts of winning a double Oscar.
- After all, that sense of accomplishment......
Of course, Charlotte's consideration of Alfonso Cuarón is more based on the "Harry Potter" series.
"I know a little bit about Alfonso Cuarón – judging by the cinema and his past experiences, he is a very religious person for cinema. If he can grow into a master of cinema in the future, I don't doubt it. But—"
Charlotte groaned,
"The Harry Potter series should have a strong British style, which we agreed on for a long time. Can a Mexican director grasp this cultural feeling?"
"It is. ”
David nodded,
"Then you think Alfonso Cuarón is not so suitable?"
"That's right. ”
Charlotte agreed,
"Let's talk about the third person!"
"The third person is also a British director. ”
David Hymandow,
However, unlike Mike Neville, who is a minor Hollywood celebrity for "Four Weddings and a Funeral," this man is currently unknown in Hollywood — in fact, he was a TV director I discovered while I was in the UK. ”
"TV drama director!?"
"Yes. ”
David said with some pride,
"Charlotte, I admit that you are indeed very professional as a director and producer - the two directors I just mentioned can only be said to be one of the many second- and third-tier directors in Hollywood, and you can even evaluate their strengths and weaknesses like a few treasures, but I don't believe it, you know this third person!"
“...... So, what about the name of this third person?"
"David Yates!"
“......”
Well, sure enough!
In Charlotte's original time and space, the two Davids of the "Harry Potter" series got together in the end-
In his original world, starting with the fifth "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", David Yates was the director of the "Harry Potter" series. The new hole dug by K. Rowling, that "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series, is also directed by David Yates.
However, for David Yates, Charlotte really can't make any precise evaluations like Mike Newell and Alphonso Cuarón in front of him.
- Who made David Yates not have any other well-known works besides the Harry Potter series and the subsequent Fantastic Beasts series?
This guy almost exists for Rowling's magical world.
"I really don't know who this Yates is. ”
Charlotte had no choice but to tell David the truth,
"David, can you tell me about his more well-known work?"
"Well...... this"
David smiled bitterly,
"If he has a well-known work, I'm sure you'll know about him!"
“...... You have a point. ”
"In short, this is a director who is not too well-known, but has quite potential. ”
David said with a smile,
"Recently, a TV series directed by him has just been released in the UK, called "The Way of the World", if you are interested, you can watch it. ”
"Okay. ”
Charlotte nodded,
"But, David, how did he impress you to make him a candidate to succeed him as a director?"
"It can only be said that it is a coincidence of various karma!"
David shrugged,
"Anyway, after talking to him, I think he has good ability, and the directing concept is more consistent with what I wanted, and-"
"And he's not famous, so he's cheaper than other well-known directors, and he's obedient, right?"
"Yes. ”
David did not deny Charlotte's words,
"Charlotte, you know, unlike you, most of the time, in Hollywood movies, especially commercial blockbusters, the director is not actually the core person who ultimately determines success or failure, the real core character-"
"It's the producer and the one who controls the whole story, right?"
Charlotte shrugged,
"Just like the original "Star Wars" series, the second highest-rated "The Empire Strikes Back" was directed by Irvin Kershner, and the third "Return of the Jedi" was directed by Richard Marquend, but when it comes to Star Wars, everyone still remembers only George Lucas, the Sith Lord?"
"Because George Lucas is the producer, he directed the first part and has been controlling the whole story!"
David nodded,
"Yes, that's what I meant!" (https:)
