In mid-April, Wang Wei went to the crew of "Fury Road" to visit the class.

The project "Fury Road" is a joint investment between Dunhuang's Shuguangzi label and a small film company, and from production to post-distribution, Dunhuang is in charge.

Therefore, director Lu Le welcomed Wang Wei's visit very much, and when the latter arrived at the crew, he immediately excitedly pulled Wang Wei to talk, and even the filming of the crew was suspended.

This is not just because Wang Wei is one of the investors, but-

"Some of the ideas you offer are fantastic! In particular, the use of a high pole to bounce the attacker from one high-speed car to another is simply heartbreaking and will surely become an iconic memory of the film......"

Yes, Wang Wei combined the memories of "Mad Max 4" in another time and space to provide the crew with a lot of ideas, and Director Lu Le obviously appreciated them a lot, and wanted to turn these ideas into reality one by one.

For example, in order to achieve the above pole stunt, the crew tried a variety of materials to make the pole, from bamboo to carbon fiber, and finally they chose highly elastic steel - both strong and elastic.

The rods will be fixed to hydraulic bearings, and the counterweights will be manipulated by others to complete the oscillation for a more natural action.

In addition, there is an electric guitar that breathes fire, and a heavy motorcycle driven by a female protagonist......

Director Lu Le was full of praise: "I thought that I was not the only director of absurd style and cult style in China, but it must be difficult to find peers with a common language, but I didn't expect Director Wang that you also have research on this alternative style, and a genius is really a genius!" ”

In the face of her fanatical touting, what can Wang Wei say? I could only ask casually: "Can the special effects team still use it?" ”

"It works, and it works!" Director Lu Le did not hesitate to praise him.

The special effects production of this film was contracted by the Dunhuang special effects studio - to some extent, this is also one of the main purposes of Dunhuang's investment in this project, to improve the level of its own special effects production.

The difficulty and pattern of the special effects and stunt scenes in "Fury Road" required unimaginable cooperation and effort, for example, the crew did not use the traditional script, but produced 1,500 storyboards, including nearly 4,000 storyboards, which are the final script.

Wang Wei listened very carefully.

After all, as a director, it is impossible for him to give up shooting special effects blockbusters, so he also began to understand and learn related knowledge.

No, he got some inspiration from the other party.

However, given that after all, during the filming, the two did not talk much. After making the crew wait for a while, director Lu Le started filming.

However, she was still very empathetic to shoot other people's scenes first, so that Shen Zhenyi had time to receive Wang Wei's visit.

"Now I completely understand why the profession of director can make a movie in one or two years on average, which is considered prolific!"

Shen Zhenyi took Wang Wei to the dressing room, slumped on the sofa with a tired face and complained,

"In the process of making a movie, the director and producer really have a lot more to focus on than the actors."

As the leading actor who brought funds into the group, Shen Zhenyi also serves as a producer - not in name, but to complete the work of a producer, which is also the new direction of career development she planned for herself.

"You're just not used to the work of a producer."

As a person who came over, Wang Wei comforted his girlfriend and said,

"After you get used to it, the producer's job is still relatively easy - this job can be said to be in charge of everything, but you can also do nothing, and most importantly, take care of money and people, and leave the rest to the director. Some powerful producers can supervise several movies at the same time. ”

For example, he himself is a representative of this kind of hands-off producer.

"It's easier said than done." Shen Zhenyi muttered.

Well, Wang Wei knows, there are other reasons for this-

For this film after Shen Zhenyi won the double film, few people in the circle are optimistic about it, because it seems to concentrate several elements of bad movies:

the starring actor who is eager to prove himself, but also soaring, young and vigorous, and has not experienced setbacks; In particular, she also worked part-time as an investor and producer, so that no one in the crew could say no to her decision; Of course, there are also directors who are less qualified......

It can be said that in the eyes of many insiders, the "curse of the actress" will not be an exception to her.

In this case, this little girl has put a lot of effort into this movie, how can she say that she will let go?

"Also, this movie is expected to be released at the end of the year, and the five major 'intimately' arranged for strong competitors to be released at the same time, as a producer, can I not think about it?"

"Okay, so what new ideas do you have?"

In this regard, Wang Wei can only spread his hands.

"You say, how about I make this movie a feminist movie?"

"Feminist overtones!?"

Wang Wei frowned.

Is this wind finally blowing from across the Pacific Ocean?

In fact, Wang Wei has no opinion on women's rights themselves.

Because he knows very well that the so-called equal rights are, in the final analysis, caused by the dissatisfaction of some groups with the cake-sharing mechanism of the current society.

It should be said that many times, this dissatisfaction is justified.

It's true that this society is unfair to a lot of people.

But the problem is that good scriptures are easily recited crookedly by crooked-mouthed monks-

For example, when enjoying benefits, it is necessary to ask for "equal rights" - let the other party give up more of it;

When fulfilling obligations, it is also required to "equal rights" - let the other party bear more responsibility;

There is no way, they like to enjoy rights and benefits, but they are unwilling to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities, which is a common problem for most people.

Of course, Wang Wei's mind was just a casual turn, after all, he was neither a savior nor a stubborn conservative.

Regarding Shen Zhenyi's intention to add feminist colors to the movie, he can still understand it-

"You're trying to add to the publicity with a feminist gimmick, right?"

Shen Zhenyi glanced at him, "Where is this gimmick, the theme is already feminist, and the big heroine is also a woman, this is just a trend." ”

"Well, you're right." Wang Wei nodded with a smile and said, "However, Xiaozhen, you should know that in front of the quality of the film, these are all gimmicks." As a producer and star, the first thing you need to do is make the film better. ”

"I know, the more difficult it is, the more attentive you are, right?" Shen Zhenyi wrinkled her nose.

"I knew you could go with me. That's right, the more severe the situation of the five major suppressions, the more the quality of the movie cannot be relaxed. Wang Wei kissed Xiao Nizi lightly.

"Having said that, the quality can't beat the world, and the current publicity momentum of your "Tang Bohu" is very bad!"
