Chapter 619: Hollywood's Three Chinese Directors Watch the Movie
Using the techniques of Hong Kong films, the idea of Asian suspense films to make Western-style horror films is a very bold attempt.
However, as early as 06, there was such a director who reaped the benefits of this routine template.
Adapted from "Infernal Affairs", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, won four Oscars, and also brought Xiao Lizi a Best Actor nomination "The Departed" is such a film.
The 79th Academy Award for Best Picture.
The 79th Academy Award for Best Director.
The 79th Academy Award for Best Editing.
The 79th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
This film is from the perspective of fans who have watched Infernal Affairs.
A lump of stool.
can be seen by fans and judges in the West who have not watched "Infernal Affairs", that is the Oscar work.
"Hidden II" is actually Fang Yu's fusion of Hong Kong-style, Thai-style, Japanese-Korean horror films, based on Lin Zhengying's ghost films, to create a "Mr. Zombie" for Western audiences!
Bad news.
Melted.
Good news.
Okay, he's got it all!
Audiences who understand it have already seen that the current clips of this film have the shadows of classic movies such as "The Shining" and "The Exorcist", plus a unique Asian horror atmosphere. Foreigners with bad bladders can only hold back at this time, and they can't find the slightest urine spot at all.
"That's a good shot."
In the movie theater, three major Chinese directors in Hollywood are watching the movie.
The popcorn director on the left, the director of the "Fast and Furious" series, Lin Yibin!
In the middle, low-cost production, a rising star of horror films, director of "Latent", "The Conjuring", "Chainsaw", "Ghost Record", Wen Ziren.
On the right, the ceiling of literary films, which is regarded as a masterpiece by special groups, the Academy Award for Best Director of "Brokeback Mountain", and the winner of the Academy Award for Best Director of "Life of Pi" - Li Qi!
At present, Li Yu has "only" won one Oscar, but he also stood in the T1 sequence of the directing industry.
can be praised by Li Pu, even a well-known director like Wen Ziren has to blush and say a few polite words.
But it's a pity that the design of this scene is not from Wen Ziren.
"Director Ang Lee, this scene, I didn't design it, it was Stephen, he designed it."
"Stephen?"
Li Yu nodded in surprise, he knew Fang Yu.
In other words, he began to study Fang Yu's works a long time ago.
Li Pu's good shooting of literary films and feature films does not mean that he has made good other movies.
At the beginning, Li Pu's "Hulk Hulk", the production cost alone reached 130 million US dollars, but the box office was "only" more than 200 million.
Compared with Stephen Fang, the son of the box office, even the Oscar-winning director Li Qi has to say that he is willing to bow down!
Director Fang's reputation has long spread throughout Hollywood, saying that he is an actor, but in fact, he is an all-round talent who gathers investors, screenwriters, producers, actors, etc.
Li Yu didn't take Fang Yu seriously, even if "I Am Legend" brought Fang Yu an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, the two were not runway people.
It wasn't until Fang Yu began to engage in superhero IP that Li Pu refocused on Fang Yu.
The unreleased "Spider-Man IV" and "Joker" were wildly praised by the professional editing team, and the news spread early, saying that Stephen Fang had two more hits.
"Avengers 1", which is being filmed, is also a high-quality work of more than one billion dollars after professional analysis.
The three films "Wonder Woman", "Captain America", and "Thor", which have exploded before, are also works that surprised Li Xuan and couldn't understand.
If you put aside other directors, you may feel that Fang Yu is lucky.
Li Xuan himself has fallen on superhero movies, and he deeply understands that superhero popcorn is not easy to make, not only to make it understandable to moviegoers who watch movies for the first time, but also to satisfy fans of the original work, not all of them can be written according to the plot of the comics, and they can't be adapted too against the sky.
In short, difficult to shoot.
And Fang Yu, as a producer and co-screenwriter, can make money in every department, and Li Yu has to study and study what magic this young man has.
It just so happened that the Chinese Hollywood Practitioners Association had a dinner yesterday, and at the dinner table, Wen Ziren said that his new film would be released.
This is the magical scene of the three major Hollywood directors gathering in the cinema to watch the movie.
Li Xuan heard Wen Ziren's explanation, and subconsciously retorted, "How come?" Aren't you the director of the film? ”
He regretted it after he finished speaking, if he had no emotional intelligence, it would hurt people to say it.
However, Wen Ziren didn't care, because his cooperation with Fang Yu was a heart-to-heart pity, and he would say that he would not take credit at all, "This scene was indeed designed by Stephen, don't look at his identity as a producer, in fact, he is also a 0.5 director~!" ”
"Oooh! He's got a good design! As someone who doesn't watch this kind of movie much, I'm already looking forward to the follow-up development. Li Yu nodded in admiration.
"Stephen really surprised me! I think that at that time, he had just finished working with James Wan (Wen Ziren) on ghost shadows, and when I met him in the studio, his fighting spirit when he first arrived, and his attitude of wanting to bring glory to the faces of Chinese Americans, deeply infected me. ”
"Later, didn't he become the protagonist of my movie series, he really could do anything on the set, he did it himself, and he was stupid to those white protagonists! The audience only knew that the white protagonist was handsome when he was cool, and they didn't know that Stephen's driving scenes were all done by himself! For the next Fast & Furious, I'm going to have to put out the footage of Stephen driving as an easter egg from the movie, just like the end of the big-nosed Jackie Chan movie! ”
"Then I'll thank you for my good friend." Wen Ziren patted Lin Yibin's shoulder.
It's not often that the three major Chinese/human directors in Hollywood praise an actor together, and this scene happened to be captured by an entertainment paparazzi on the sidelines, and a photo ended, and I don't know how to write the title when I go back.
But the name Stephen Fang can't be avoided anyway.
After all, this movie was produced by Fang Yu.
"It's a pity that Stephen doesn't seem to have many scenes in the film? I enjoyed watching him perform. Li Pu affirmed Fang Yu again.
"If you say this directly to Stephen, he will definitely be happy for a long time, and he wants to be recognized for his acting skills, even if he is very good at other things."
"Oh? Then I'll have to go through the clips of his past performances. Li Qi rubbed his hands.
"Don't see you later, Stephen's shot, it's coming soon." Wen Ziren pointed to the screen and reminded.
