Chapter 488: Mr. Wang Mo, you are the greatest science fiction director in the world!
Originally, the previous year's Cannes Film Festival opened in May.
It's just that this year, Cannes encountered some special periods in May, so the organizers had to postpone the opening time by a month.
This also caused Wang Mo to forget about it.
But it doesn't matter if he forgets, as long as Yuan Xiong remembers.
Right?
But when he thought of "Kung Fu", Wang Mo thought of Zhong An.
For Zhong An, he still attaches great importance to it. Because in Zhong An's body, he saw the shadow of Xingye.
Office.
Even Clement felt that according to Wang Mo's description, he almost didn't need to change anything to shoot the magnificent scene of the final battle.
Hearing Wang Mo's exclamation, Clement spoke: "Master Wang Mo, hello. ”
What the hell is going on in your head?
He stopped selling Guanzi, worried that Wang Mo would say something out of tune again.
Clement took a deep breath and asked a question that even he felt was excessive: "According to the script, the most burning and classic plot in the movie should be the final showdown between Iron Man and Obadia Stan. ”
However.
His real purpose was to come to Huaxia to find Wang Mo to finalize the $150 million investment in "Iron Man".
If it weren't for the fact that the script of "Iron Man" looked really good, and Wang Mo was not stingy with investment, it is estimated that Clement would have been scared away.
Wang Mo listened with the same eagerness in his heart.
The old man who came in was none other than Hollywood's sci-fi director Clement.
And only in this way will Zhong An become the real star of Lanxing in the future.
It is taboo to rashly inquire about other people's unformed script ideas.
Zhong An's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Mo." ”
Fu Hong said: "I don't know very well, anyway, it's certain that he didn't take the show." ”
He already knew what Zhong An was going to do: "You want to write the script yourself?" ”
The name of the script is:
"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying".
Yuan Xiong suddenly said mysteriously: "This time I returned to China and brought you a surprise, guess what?" ”
How to combine the virtual and the real.
Clement opened his mouth, and the man had been reduced to a sculpture.
Because Zhong An's eyes are seriously bagged at this moment, his face is haggard, and he is obviously lacking in energy, but his eyes still have a bright light.
The expression on Wang Mo's face remained unchanged, but there were ripples in his heart.
Wang Mo's face gradually became shocked when he heard this.
Wang Mo hurriedly stood up, invited Clement to take a seat, and then asked, "Mr. Clement, why are you here?" ”
Yuan Xiong slapped his palms twice, and saw a blonde and blue-eyed old man coming in outside.
Even all the details of the shooting were noted.
Sure enough, Yuan Xiong continued: "So this time, I abducted him to Huaxia in a few words." Let's sum it up and see if we can trick him into our company. Anyway, he didn't join any companies or societies. If we can take him down, then the next development in Hollywood will definitely be much smoother. ”
It's just that after filming "Kung Fu", Wang Mo had so many things that he forgot to arrange Zhong An's next things.
It seems that he really gave the script to the right person.
When Wang Mo heard this, he immediately understood in his heart.
Speaking of this, Zhong An sighed, and then his expression became serious: "After I found out that I couldn't find a script that suited me, I made a bold decision: I didn't waste any more time, began to systematically study screenwriting, began to study the script of Brother Mo's "Kung Fu", and began to go to the drama academy to ask for advice. ”
That's why Clement said so.
"Okay."
No wonder Chung An would reject the script.
In Wang Mo's view, Zhong An has this potential.
After seeing the script written by Zhong An today, Wang Mo had a thought in his heart: he was negligent at the beginning, and he should have given Zhong An some catalysts earlier.
But now, Wang Mo just said the prototype.
Thinking of this, Wang Mo looked at Fu Hong: "Sister Hong, what is Zhong An busy with now?" ”
In the next second, Wang Mo said: "I feel that in order to be worthy of a superhero, the equipment must have the characteristics of convex color, domineering and beautiful shape, and excellent characteristics." First of all, the colors, preferably red and gold......"
Just based on Wang Mo's words, it made him tremble.
Who said Wang Mo doesn't understand science fiction films?
Who said that Wang Moshi is a science fiction black hole?
Fart!
"Not bad."
Zhong An was overjoyed and nodded again and again.
In addition, his "Journey to the West" is about to be published, so when the time comes, after Zhong An makes a movie, he can just be related and interact with "Journey to the West", so as not to make the Chinese people of Lanxing look confused.
After all, he is a big director in Hollywood, and when he came to Huaxia, a country where movies are almost inconspicuous, it is unrealistic to say that he is not proud in his heart. If it weren't for Wang Mo's noble identity, if it weren't for the good enough script of "Iron Man" given by Wang Mo, and the temptation of the investment amount that Wang Mo promised him, he probably wouldn't have set foot on this land in his life.
How to switch lenses.
However, Wang Mo still did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, but continued to talk eloquently: "I think that in order to shoot this scene well, it needs to be achieved through the switching and focusing of many lenses. First of all, the battle has just begun, so let the camera slowly zoom in and focus on Iron Man's armor, showing its mighty and domineering ......"
Even if it is forcibly written, it is estimated that it will not be like four things.
Clement originally thought that he was just trying to test whether Wang Mo had a plan for the protagonist's appearance, as long as the other party could say a rough prototype, he would be convinced.
He somewhat understood Yuan Xiong's intentions.
Yuan Xiong rushed back from North America.
After sitting down at Clement and taking a few sips of coffee.
That's right.
Even Yuan Xiong frowned.
He swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively, "Mr. Wang Mo, what is the content of the other script you mentioned?" Of course, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it. If you were willing to tell me, I could swear to God that I wouldn't give out half of it. ”
He didn't expect Wang Mo to have such a deep insight into directing.
"Is he still human?"
Fu Hong nodded in agreement and left.
That is, people with low emotional intelligence like Clement would ask such a question.
Clement's imagination in science fiction movies is the world's top, so even if Wang Mo just briefly described a few words, huge transformers appeared in his mind, even if it was just imagination, he could feel the sense of oppression that they were rushing into.
Clement looked at Wang Mo's eyes, he had changed from a monster to a god.
Fifth,......"
Clement smiled and nodded.
Because although this script looks very immature, the content in it really has a touch of nonsensical charm.
"Hmm."
Does this mean that Iron Man isn't complex enough?
“……”
Because now "Iron Man" is just a script, and the protagonist's equipment needs a whole team to study for a long time to determine the shape, how can Wang Mo answer?
A scene that was extremely complicated in Clement's eyes, and it was estimated that he would have to plan for a long time even if he came to operate it, was depicted vividly by Wang Mo in this way.
This question, in fact, is a bit out of scope.
Wang Mo pretended to operate on the computer, but in fact, he downloaded the script of the movie from his mailbox and then printed it.
"Okay."
Even Clement himself didn't think about many of the difficulties.
Isn't it just pretending?
This is what I am best at.
Clement: "Cars aren't ordinary? ”
"Great!"
He gave Yuan Xiong a look: "Look at me!" ”
Yuan Xiong was speechless.
Zhong An suppressed the excitement in his heart, agreed, and ran away with the script in his hand.
Wang Mo was stunned: "Didn't take the play?" No way? ”
It's just that he is really curious about what Wang Mo has a more complex script than "Iron Man".
Wang Mo smiled: "It seems that there is a chance, I have to thank Kenneth." When the time comes, I'll give him a piano piece. ”
But it's not enough.
They are actually a movie, but they are divided into two parts.
"Smack!"
It took almost half an hour to finish reading this story that didn't seem too complicated.
Yuan Xiong snorted: "Haha, Kenneth is the most obsessed with the piano." If you give him a piano piece, he will probably be able to worship you as a god. ”
He nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what he knew.
It was Wang Mo's words that almost accurately said all the filming difficulties of "Iron Man". This is not something that ordinary people can do, only directors who know a lot about scripts and science fiction have such ability.
But soon, Wang Mo's eyes were fixed on the old man who came in, and there were doubts in his eyes, and he always felt that this old man was a little familiar.
Wang Mo's heart moved slightly.
This moment.
However, in order not to reveal his true purpose too abruptly, he was still ready to pretend to ask a few questions: "Mr. Wang Mo, what do you think you need to pay attention to when filming "Iron Man"? ”
"Hey!"
I saw Yuan Xiong showing an intriguing smile.
Clement was stunned.
After speaking.
In his opinion, after Zhong An starred in "Kung Fu", he has become a hot and popular movie star in China, plus the other party is his own person. With such conditions, it should be soft to take over the play.
Now it was Wang Mo's turn to be speechless.
Fu Hong replied: "It's not that no one is looking for him. I heard that after the release of "Kung Fu", his film invitation exploded, and at least ten films in the whole of China sent him an olive branch and asked him to be the protagonist. But he rejected them all. Listening to what he meant, it seems that he is not satisfied with the script. Then it was rumored in the industry that Zhong An played a big name and became proud and complacent after becoming famous...... and all sorts of other rumors. It's just that because of the deterrence of you and Yunhai Media, these rumors have not spread. But the industry knew the news, so over time, no one looked for him anymore. ”
Is this still human?
casually said perfectly what you think is the most critical and difficult protagonist in the movie?
Wang Mo doesn't understand science fiction.
That's true.
"Brother Mo."
Outside the door, Zhong An walked in.
Zhong An continued: "After I found that none of the scripts were to my liking, I visited several famous screenwriters in China today and discussed with them the type of script I needed, hoping that they could write a movie script according to my needs. But I found that those screenwriters didn't seem to understand the word nonsense. Or even if they could understand what I meant, they wouldn't be able to write a nonsensical type of script. ”
Just based on the script, you can vividly depict the most complex scenes in "Iron Man".
But as he listened, ripples began to ripple in his heart, and then the waves became bigger and bigger, and finally the whole person became shocked.
After taking a sip of coffee, Wang Mo smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to shoot "Iron Man", but planned another script. Because the script was so complicated, I gave up. ”
This is preparing to train Zhong An to develop in the all-round direction of director + screenwriter + actor.
If the second question is beyond the scope, then the question is purely difficult.
Wang Mo: "This car can become a huge mecha robot, dozens of meters high, mighty and domineering. They came from an alien planet and came to Earth to protect ......"
He looked at Clement with a smile.
Wang Mo smiled and said: "That's okay, go ahead, familiarize yourself with all aspects of your work as soon as possible, and don't embarrass me when the time comes." ”
Yuan Xiong also sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, mainly because Kenneth has a very strong strength and background in the film industry in North America and even the world, so what he came forward to do is almost a green light all the way." The whole process was not hindered in any way. ”
He watched it carefully.
Then, Yuan Xiong approached Wang Mo's ear and whispered: "Although this old man is a science fiction director, his mind is a little too simple, and if he doesn't sound good, he is stupid and cute." He has devoted almost all of his life to filmmaking, and he has never known what it means to be sophisticated. So he is not very popular in the Hollywood film circle, often offends people inadvertently, and is often cheated by others. This leads to the fact that although he is a top director, his life can still only be regarded as mediocre. ”
Wang Mo was thoughtful, he was sure that Zhong An was definitely not an arrogant person.
In the previous life, no one in the Huaxia Continent seemed to be able to write a good nonsensical comedy script.
Zhong An took the nonsensical route, and looking at today's China, I am afraid that no one can write a nonsensical script.
Clement blinked: "Master Wang Mo, I'm here for 'Iron Man'." I've gone through your script several times, and it seems to me that it's definitely an excellent sci-fi script. It's just that there are many details in it, and I don't really understand what you mean, so I found Mr. Yuan Xiong and asked him to take me to meet you. I'd like to ask you in person. ”
"Hello."
After all, if he takes over those scenes, the box office of the forcible movie will not be high.
Clement took a deep breath and asked the second question: "Do you have a general guess about how you think the main character's equipment should be designed?" ”
At first, Callement was unimpressed.
"What?"
Almost without thinking, Wang Mo depicted the armor of Iron Man in his memory.
“……”
As he spoke, he took out a printed script file from his backpack and handed it to Wang Mo.
It's all too simple to bring yourself to a submission.
For Wang Mo, the nonsensical style of this movie far surpasses "Kung Fu", and it can be regarded as Xingye's nonsensical masterpiece. It is just right for Zhong An to learn and star.
Wang Mo sighed: "So fast? ”
As for the question of asking for advice mentioned earlier, it is just one of his words.
So what is it?
But he didn't expect that what shocked Clement even more was still to come.
Hearing Zhong An's voice, Wang Mo smiled and said, "Zhong An, I heard that you didn't take on any more scenes after filming "Kung Fu", what's going on?" ”
It is so mighty, so noble and domineering.
Only when the investment is determined can his heart settle down.
Fourth......
Wang Mo raised his eyebrows: "What?" Don't want it? ”
"God!"
The next day.
Second, the movie is full of all kinds of high-intensity action scenes, how to make it reasonable and make the actors' performances unobtrusive, requires intensive training for the actors, and requires the action director to carefully design various actions.
Then.
He couldn't imagine how shocking this kind of movie would be if it were filmed.
Clement's eyes widened, looking at Wang Mo like a monster.
With Wang Mo's description, a living, domineering Iron Man has even appeared in front of him.
Fluent English, concise descriptions.
After Wang Mo saw Zhong An, his eyelids jumped slightly.
And shooting?
Clement didn't think Wang Mo could give him any kind of good advice.
At this moment, he was proud in his heart.
……
This is a big Hollywood director!
The world's top science fiction director!
It was really beyond his expectations.
How to move the camera.
Wang Mo nodded.
When Zhong An heard this, he did not show the embarrassment and uneasiness of Wang Mo's speculation, but shook his head and said: "I have read the movie scripts given by those directors, and I found that they are not suitable for me at all. Especially the self-righteous comedy themes of many directors, I am embarrassed to see them. I thought I couldn't do it at all, so I refused. ”
Wang Mo nodded: "Yes, I call it 'Transformers'." ”
In fact, although Wang Mo's description is simple, it is beyond the scope of the script, and almost depicts the specific picture, showing a magnificent mecha battle in front of his eyes.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
"Yes!"
Wang Mo: "You brought a blonde girl here?" ”
Third, "Iron Man" is not a pure virtual science fiction, how to make a fusion of real scenes and virtual scenes is particularly important.
However, Zhong An was stunned when he heard Wang Mo's words: "Me? Assistant director? ”
Wang Mo was a little touched in his heart.
He knew that Zhong An didn't know screenwriting at all before, so he was able to learn from scratch in less than a year to write this decent script, except for talent, I don't know how much effort was put in behind it.
Wang Mocai smiled and said, "Mr. Clement, welcome to Huaxia, I don't know if you are still used to it?" ”
It's a sure thing to amaze the world.
"That ......"
How to set up the machine.
Even let yourself hardly find any shortcomings, and even think that it is the best Iron Man style in my memory?
Could it be that there is something hidden?
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Mo sank into the system, and it was not until there was a knock on the door outside that he exited the system and shouted, "Please come in." ”
"The Story of the Little Mansion Gate?"
Nonsensical style, except for Wang Mo, no one can teach Zhong An.
Clement exclaimed under his breath.
"The story...... This mecha ...... This sci-fi ......"
But in Clement's mind, theory is the most important thing, and practice only needs to be practiced. Theory is the core that reflects whether a director has real kung fu.
After sorting it out, he handed the script to Zhong An.
Wang Mo's smile was intriguing: "My original plan was not to become a superhero by a person wearing armor, but to let an ordinary person drive a car." This person is still an ordinary person, but the car is not ordinary. ”
But now, he looked at Wang Mo, who was full of confidence and talking eloquently in front of him, and the whole person was confused.
Yuan Xiong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The blonde girl doesn't have one, the blonde old man has one, do you want it?" ”
"So?"
Wang Mo once again used the temperament transformation, Jon Favreau possessed, and all the shots and images of "Iron Man" were clearly presented in his mind.
It's too hard.
Wang Mo changed his words: "However, the nonsensical style of "Kung Fu" is actually not too strong, so if you want to learn nonsense, it is not enough to just rely on "Kung Fu". Such...... Here's one, well, two movies, I'll give you a lesson. You put all your energy into these two movies and put them on the show. Wait until you're really immersed in them. You should be able to achieve something in the nonsensical. ”
After a while, he spoke: "Sister Hong, call Zhong An and ask him to come and see me." ”
As soon as he arrived at the company, Yuan Xiong came to Wang Mo's office: "Amer, the affairs of the Hollywood company have been completed." ”
Zhong An smiled slightly: "I have already written a script, but it is just a work of practice." ”
Clement's heart trembled.
This is definitely the most perfect Iron Man in my heart!
Wang Mo took it and opened the document curiously.
Took a sip of water.
In fact, he didn't know that Wang Mo was only invincible in theory, and if he really wanted to let him operate, it was probably nothing.
Clement was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
And just relying on Zhong An's own exploration, maybe ten or eight years later, there will be some results.
After a few seconds, he exclaimed, "Mr. Clement? ”
Just because the other party is already a big Hollywood director, but he is still willing to come to China to find himself for a script, although the other party's purpose is not necessarily to ask for advice, but it is sincere enough.
He looked at Yuan Xiong.
He simply elaborated on the script of "Transformers".
So, Clement at this moment was almost stupid.
Seeing Zhong An's cramped and expectant eyes standing aside, Wang Mo gave a thumbs up and praised it.
Zhong An saw the movie script handed over by Wang Mo, and his hands trembled a little: "Thank you, Brother Mo, I will study hard." ”
Although Wang Mo saw Zhong An's talent enough in nonsense, as well as enough hard work.
Before coming, Clement investigated Wang Mo's information and found that many people said that Wang Mo didn't understand science fiction at all, and even had a history of dragging down a top entertainment company because of a science fiction script.
Wang Mo smiled, "Next, we are going to the Cannes Film Festival, and this process is just enough for you to familiarize yourself with the script." When you come back from Cannes, you will find Chai Qing and ask him to plan the filming of the movie. When the time comes, I will ask Chai Qing to give you a position as an assistant director, so that you can also learn to shoot movies. ”
Wang Mo frowned and pondered.
Wang Mo smiled: "Generally speaking, the difficulty of science fiction movies is in the production of special effects, so there is no need to elaborate on this." Compared with other science fiction movies, "Iron Man" has several more difficulties:
First, the equipment design of the protagonist has extremely high requirements for the special effects team. This includes the deployment and contraction of armor, the display of weapon systems, and the flight of iron men.
In fact, Wang Mo's performance has far exceeded his imagination.
"Oh my God."
Clement wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
After half a ring, he looked at Wang Mo with an almost fanatical and adoring look: "Mr. Wang Mo, I think you are the greatest science fiction director in the world!" (End of chapter)
