Director’s Legend - Chapter 353

Shao Shuaijun always thinks that the subject of “Nightman” is very cool and interesting. But because of self-confidence, I became impetuous and turned a good theme into a bad film. For this second filming, Shao Shuaijun decided to add clarification to the parts that could not be described on the basis of the original.

At the same time, the content of the story is sublimated.

Originally, he had hidden clues to the sequel. For example, the man who saved the protagonist Thomas and the person who told Thomas that he had superpowers did not explain it. Originally, he planned to sell the sequel to the nightman. And this time, Shao Shuaijun decided to overthrow all this and not make a sequel.

In the movie “Night Watcher”, Thomas gained the ability to go through the mirror, so he turned into a night watchman and was on duty for justice at night, but unexpectedly caused a very bad influence and discovered that good and evil are not absolute.

In the revised edition, Shao Shuaijun completely changed the story. Thomas is no longer a superpower owner, but a mentally persecuted paranoid patient. The continuity of the story is still based on the original shots. Thomas goes through the mirror, upholds justice, and fights fiercely everywhere, with injuries and blood.

The added part is a shot of the prison part. In reality, Thomas is not a night watchman at all. He is just a mentally ill person who is guilty of killing his wife. The reason there is a series of superpowers through the mirror is that he swallowed a small mirror, then vomited out in prison, and imagined it in front of the mirror.

In the whole movie, the general lens is still the original lens. Just adding a few sets of lenses can perfectly subvert the movie plot…

The filming of the film began in early January.

Filming was performed on a studio converted from an abandoned prison in San Francisco.

It was the 15th, and it has been more than a week since shooting.

“Jack, wait a minute while you are holding the small mirror, pay attention to the angle. I want to take a shot of the mirror showing one of your eyes.” Shao Shuaijun explained the script to Jack Gyllenhill, who was wearing a prisoner’s costume. At this time, your expression must have a paranoid smile, and your eyes must be crazy. You must imagine that you are not looking in the mirror, but you have entered the identity of the night watchman and are acting justice outside the prison. Understand?”

“Understood.” Gyllenhill nodded.

“Thor” has finished filming Gyllen Hill and then successfully entered the crew. Gyllen Hill also took a sigh of relief when “Nightman” suffered a big loss, and now it is filmed twice and the performance is very devoted.

After explaining the script to Gyllen Hill, Shao Shuaijun reached out to let the heroine come over. The heroine is not a well-known actor named Kelly Nest. Back then, she was just a female protagonist who stabbed the male protagonist in “The Night Watcher”. In the second filming version, Kelly was reborn as the female protagonist.

Not only plays a teacher-girlfriend of a drug dealer, but also plays the protagonist’s wife and a female police officer in prison. It’s not that Shao Shuaijun can’t afford the actress, but the plot needs it.

“Kelly, there are still some flaws in your role. I hope you can pay attention. When you beat Thomas, you have to show your rational side. You don’t vent your anger on purpose, but because you hate Thomas’s neuroticism. Your will, understand? Your three roles are all symbolic. They symbolize the law. How does the law strengthen the will of the wife? You stand on the height of reason!”

“I think I understand, director.” Kelly is now the mother of two children. “The Night Watcher” has suffered a lot. She failed to stay in Hollywood. After marrying and becoming a woman, her body was out of shape, and she trained for a while. Just restored.

The second filming plan has been lingering in Shao Shuaijun’s mind for a long time, so this time, the progress of the filming is very fast, and the workload is completed in advance every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

Negotiations with Xinxian have gone smoothly, and the copyright of Blade Warrior has been successfully taken back. Marvel Comics announced the news on the official website for the first time: “Good news, after friendly negotiations with the New Line Film Company, the copyright of Blade Warrior has returned to Marvel Comics, and the film adaptation of Blade Warrior is also being re-created, but because Due to the schedule, Blade Warrior may not appear in the first ensemble.”

Just a day later, Marvel Comics released a new message: “Good news, after friendly negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox, the copyright of Daredevil has returned to Marvel Comics. The copyright of the Fantastic Four has also been signed. The intention to return is in in-depth negotiations on the conditions for return.”

Comic fans are ecstatic. Once the superhero returns, it is possible to join the Avengers. It must be a delight to see so many beloved superheroes assembled.

Even more crazily, Marvel Comics announced new news that afternoon: “Good news, after friendly negotiations with Sony, the copyright of Soul Chariot has returned to Marvel Comics. The film adaptation of Soul Chariot has begun. If nothing happens, you may join the first ensemble!”

As soon as the plan to acquire MGM was released, it attracted Sony. In order to achieve cooperation and revitalize MGM, Sony’s attitude changed rapidly. Originally, it was a non-cooperative attitude, but now it has become a passion. Under such circumstances, the soul chariot was successfully taken back.

As for Spider-Man, it is not easy to let go.

At the same time, Summit Entertainment also released the company’s movie schedule for 2011, which made other film companies nervous. Summit Entertainment is evading the big productions of other film companies. How about they are trying to avoid the box office bomb of Summit Entertainment.

At the end of this month, Shao Shuaijun temporarily put down the crew and flew back to China.

He wants to take a good look at his son, and it’s almost a month, and he’s crazy about it. Video chat can’t solve this kind of miss.

“My dear son, do you miss dad?” When he got home, Shao Shuaijun couldn’t wait to pick up his son.

“Wow wow wow…” Xiao Shao started crying very shamelessly.

“How come my son doesn’t recognize me after I have been away for less than a month!” Shao Shuaijun handed his son to Li Xiuxiu depressed.

Li Xiuxiu coaxed her son and said, “Who told you not to go home for a month, the baby is angry with you.”

“My son is angry with me? No, no, no, that’s not good!” Shao Shuaijun immediately became nervous, then watched the baby calm down in Li Xiuxiu’s arms, and suddenly shouted, “I have decided, and my son will follow me to the United States to make movies Wife, you go to work in the United States, the Internet is so developed, you can move to work anywhere!”

“Hehe, that’s what I planned.” Li Xiuxiu shook Xiao Shao and said, “Actually, I have thought about it. The core business of Dream Chase Entertainment Group is concentrated in Summit Entertainment. This is really not good. I want Started to rectify and reform, spin-off Summit Entertainment, Marvel Comics will become independent, Obvious will also become independent, and later acquisitions will also be acquired in the name of Summit Entertainment, in fact, Dream Entertainment Group will buy! So, in recent years, I will also Stayed temporarily in the United States.”

“Then dare to love, let parents move over, we will live in the United States for a period of time, I guess I will have to make movies in the United States this year.” Shao Shuaijun said with joy.

After it was settled, Shao Shuaijun found his parents and Li Xiuxiu’s parents to discuss the matter of going to the United States together. At first they were not willing, but thinking of Shao Shuaijun’s work, they finally compromised. Retirement should be retired, it should be packed up and ready to go to the United States.

When things were decided, Shao Shuaijun came to the Dreaming Film and Television Base with a good mood. Director Li You was already waiting for him at the film and television base. After complaining, the two attended the press conference on February 2.

The press conference hall was full of reporters.

Seeing the appearance of the two great directors, the flashes flashed continuously.

After sitting down, Shao Shuaijun blew into the microphone: “There are so many media friends here today. I am very glad that you all joined in. I think you have also received the news. This time is the release ceremony of the new film directed by Li Yu. This film It is called “The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie”, adapted from the novel “The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi” by Yang Martel. It is co-invested by Dreaming Jiahe, Summit Entertainment and Dreaming South Asia. It will be filmed in 3D format. Let Li Yu below. Let the director introduce to everyone.”

Li Yu took the microphone and said with a smile: “When Director Shao told me about this book, I was still very worried at the time. I think the script is very big, and the story is also very big. Later I took the novel and read it completely. I think it’s a good challenge, especially when we decided to shoot in 3D. It’s a very difficult thing. Water and animals are very difficult to shoot. At the beginning I said whether to shoot in 2D, and Director Shao said to shoot in 3D. He has done a lot of preparations for this movie, so I also want to try 3D.”

“Why didn’t Director Shao shoot himself? Is it because of the literary film, and Director Shao didn’t shoot “Slumdog Millionaire” by himself?” A reporter asked.

Shao Shuaijun replied: “I like to make some movies that will have a good box office. Seeing the box office boom, I feel very fulfilled. For art films, Director Li Yu is better than me.”

“In other words, this movie is at the box office, you didn’t expect it?”

Li Yu replied: “I asked him at the beginning whether you want to make money or you want a story. If he tells a story, I said that I can only make a story. Don’t come to me to make money.”

Shao Shuaijun added: “I have always been passionate about the box office, but in front of an excellent story, you will forget about the box office. This is how this movie is. From the time we decided to shoot, we gave the business to Forget it, this movie should be presented to everyone with the most narrative aspect. When everyone sees a good story, it would be better to get a little more at the box office.”

“When will the movie be released?”

“It depends on Director Li’s speed.” Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu said: “I’m not sure, because it will take until 2012 or 2013 to shoot in India, the mainland and Taiwan.”

When Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu were not far from revealing the script, the media didn’t have much to ask, and they quickly crooked the building.

“Director Shao, what is the situation of the second filming of “Nightman”? Has the plot changed or has not changed?”

Shao Shuaijun smiled: “It will be a completely different experience. Although you have seen some shots, it will definitely bring another feeling.” (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! )
