Chapter 221. [It's not easy to be a director]

In other words, it is difficult to distinguish who wins and who loses at the box office. In contrast, the brothers Yi Feiyang and Wachowski, who are the parties involved, are not moving. In particular, the Wachowski brothers, who have always been arrogant and conceited, did not express their stance much, and their style of action was not like what they used to be.

There is a saying that the emperor is not in a hurry to die eunuchs, and those media reporters are really anxious, eager to dig deep into the "fighting relationship" between Yi Feiyang and the Wachowsky brothers.

These bastards~ who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will fan the flames in newspapers and magazines, hoping to lure the snake out of the hole, so that the two sides can stand up and provoke a few words, then they have the material to write about in capital letters.

A day passed.

Yi Feiyang and the Wachowski brothers, no one stepped forward.

Two days passed.

Still no one has come forward.

Three days passed......

Suddenly, a certain media exclusively announced that the Wachowski brothers had something to say through them.

"Oh my God, finally someone can't help it!" The reporters, who thought they had failed to fan the flames, secretly wiped a sweat.

Facing the cameras of the media reporters, the eldest of the Wachowski brothers began to say: "This time we stand up and just want to say one word......

What words?

Scolding China is easy?

Or another provocation?!

Journalists waited excitedly......

In a word...... We really want to know who is the friend of the 'mysterious Neo'?! ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. Dumbfounded. What kind of problem is this?!

"As you may have heard, our "Matrix 2" has been nominated for this year's Oscars, especially for a very important award. That's the best screenplay. It's a pity, though. This play was not written by me and my brother, the real screenwriter is someone else, and he is this mysterious man who signed 'Mysterious Neo'! Yes, that's him! Now, our brother wants him to be able to contact us or come forward when he sees the news, and we really appreciate him and would love to be able to walk the red carpet with him at this year's Oscars! All right. I'm done talking, thank you! ”

As soon as the Wachowski brothers finished speaking, they flashed, leaving a large group of media reporters stunned.

After tossing for a long time, people just used their own hands to make a "missing person notice"!

Speechless.

After a while, I came slowly, but a question arose in everyone's hearts, who is this "Mysterious Neo", the official screenwriter of "Hacker 2"?!

……

It's a wide shipyard. Or a huge harbor, and this is where the "Pirates of the Caribbean" was filmed.

At this moment, our "mysterious Neo" is easy to fly. He was on the set with Lionsgate owner Gusta watching a footage of the scene that had just finished filming "Pirates of the Caribbean."

To be honest, Yi Feiyang never imagined that the Wachowski brothers would issue a "missing person notice" to the news media, let alone that they would be so "sincere" and dare to face the media to boldly admit that the script of "Hacker 2" was not made by them, and they insisted on finding out him, a mysterious person, to walk the red carpet of the Oscars together......

Very naΓ―ve, very romantic idea.

From this point of view, the Wachowski brothers can be regarded as "men of temperament" and not mortal enemies.

Of course, Yi Feiyang doesn't have time to pay attention to these at the moment, he is worrying about "Pirates of the Caribbean" that is being filmed.

Although Yi Feiyang is not the director of this film, he is half the boss of this play, and the other half of the boss is Gusta of Lionsgate.

Seeing Gusta looking at the shooting footage lightly, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but secretly admire, worthy of being a character who has experienced strong winds and waves, look at how calm and calm his expression is.

In fact, Comrade Lao Gu was even more nervous than him at this moment, and when he watched the replay, he pulled off a few of his beautiful beards.

It's an interesting scene playing back about Captain Jack having to work with a bunch of guys he despises in order to reclaim his Black Pearl pirate ship, and then prepares to go to sea to fight, and before leaving, he says to the missionary, "Mr. Missionary...... In case I have any words in this line, I hope you can remember them...... Listen up...... I'm completely ready to take refuge in the Faith of the Divine Horse, so that I can go where and where I can go after following those good old people with their pigtails, you know? ”

From this short sentence, it shows Captain Jack's bohemian, unserious, and child's play attitude towards faith, and it also shows his rough characteristics as a "pirate".

Of course, after this scene is over, it is a battle on a big ship, there are more than 300 shots in total, almost all of them are battle scenes, and most of them are night scenes, what is fighting on the deck with torches, fighting on the sail pole, fighting in the cabin, it can be said that wonderful pictures are endless.

Speaking of the play "Pirates of the Caribbean", the director is Hollywood's "unlucky egg" Gore. Verbinski, starring Hollywood "bad boy" Johnny Depp, among them, director Gore has a precedent of smashing the pot in filming, Depp is riddled with lawsuits, and the new drama is banned, so he was named the "black pot combination" by Yi Feiyang.

Gusta has a lot of confidence in Yi Feiyang, but he has little confidence in this "black pot combination......

According to Yi Feiyang's proposal, this drama can be said to be the original team of the drama in the previous life, because it is a magic film, the cost is relatively high, just in terms of special effects lenses, let Industrial Light and Magic design five or six hundred special effects lenses, and then in terms of shooting venues, it is also leased from shipyards along the coast, as well as many wide leisure resorts nearby, these money alone have been tens of millions, do you say that you can make Gusta not nervous?

Gusta was a banker by training, and his rule of use for money was that it was best to break a penny in half and spend it in half, so as to create economic benefits.

Some people say that the means of doing business and getting rich is nothing more than four words, that is, - open source and reduce expenditure. But in Gusta's view, open source is far less effective than throttling, because when you save a penny, you make a penny.

Gusta's caution gave him great hopes for this "Pirates of the Caribbean".

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

That's why he cares so much and is so nervous.

In fact, what is more nervous than Gusta is the director Gore and the starring Depp, who are hiding behind the two and have been paying close attention to the expressions of Yi Feiyang and Gusta.

Director Gore bit the corner of the filming script in his mouth, and asked Depp, who was a little shorter than himself, a little nervously, "Man, do you think they will like the clips we shoot?" ”

"This ...... Hardly. Depp said, "You have to know that he is also a director, and he is a very good one, God, his "Dance Floor Competition" has a box office of over 700 million, can the appreciation level of the 700 million director be low?" ”

"So I'm nervous, if I fail again this time, I'll just jump into the sea here!" Gore remembered that he had finally waited for the opportunity to direct a blockbuster, and if he failed again, he would really have no face.

Depp couldn't understand what Gore meant, so he had to comfort him and said, "Okay, man, don't be nervous, take it easy." You see, how seriously they watched, it shows that we did a great job, yes, it must be so! ”

"I hope so!" Director Gore nodded.

After a while, seeing that Yi Feiyang and Gusta still didn't react, Gore was a little anxious, scratched his head and asked again: "Man, you are honest with me, am I really bad?!"

Depp shook his head, "No, friend, in my opinion, you are a talented director, just like me, although he is uninhibited and suave, his inner talent is radiant, and like a pearl sunk at the bottom of the sea, sooner or later he will shine brightly!" Trust me, man, one day you're going to impress all of Hollywood! Depp said a lot in one breath, which made his already pale cheeks even pale.

Gore didn't expect Depp to be so encouraging, excited, and held Depp's hand tightly and said: "You're right, man, I shouldn't give up on myself because I'm too unlucky, yes, I'm going to seize this opportunity to show my talent!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were muttering so "warmly" behind their backs, Gusta, who was sitting in front of him watching the sample, couldn't hold back any longer, and frowned: "I'm sorry, you two, can you be quiet?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Depp stuck out his tongue.

Next to him, Yi Feiyang said: "It's okay, it's almost finished." ”

As soon as he heard Yi Feiyang say that he was almost finished, Gore hurriedly asked, "I don't know what your opinion is on the filming of this scene?" ”

Who is Yi Feiyang, who has only now been promoted to the level of a great director, and Gore still has to humbly ask him for advice.

Gusta also wants to know what Yi Feiyang thinks, after all, in addition to being an investor, he is also a big expert.

"Yes, Yi, you made this drama single-handedly, and you wrote the script, how do you see them shooting?" Gusta asked.

Yi Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth, Gore, before evaluating your play, I have a question I want to ask you, what is a director?" ”

"Huh?" Gore was stunned, this is also a problem?! It's so easy, isn't it?

"The director is the person who films, organize the entire crew to film, and according to the director's orders, everyone can take action to complete the work."

"Is that all?" Yi Feiyang asked rhetorically.

"So what?" Gore didn't understand.

Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "In my opinion, this is not the case...... You must know that film is a comprehensive art, and the director is only the executor, not the soul, let alone the god! Each person is not a tool that he calls around, but a creator with his own unique consciousness! ”

Gusta, who had been listening silently next to him, nodded.

Johnny Depp, who rarely quieted down, said in agreement: "I agree with this view, we actors are not tools, we also have thoughts and souls!" Yi, what you said is so good, I appreciate you! (To be continued......)
