Director’s Legend - Chapter 377
The director candidate for “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is still very promising from the outside world. Jos Weyden has a strong skill in directing science fiction movies. No surprises, the press conference will talk about new movies and it will pass. .
And another news made the headlines.
“The director of “Iron Man 3″ changed, Shane Black was helplessly out, and Shao Shuaijun took over the crew and directed the superhero movie again.”-“Hollywood Entertainment Report”.
This news was considered malicious hype at first. After all, as the director, Shane Black had already decided last year. Jon Feiru, the original director of Steel 1 and Steel 2, has also taken over “Magic Empire.” The director candidates, logically speaking, decided to shoot, and it should be impossible to replace them.
But soon afterwards, Marvel announced on the official website that Shane Black, the original director of “Iron Man 3”, had decided to leave the director team for personal reasons, and the great director Shao Shuaijun would urgently take over the crew to ensure that “Iron Man 3” “Normal shooting.
Leading actor Robert Downey Jr. also left a message on Twitter: “I regret Shane’s withdrawal, but it is a wonderful thing to continue working with Shao. I have full confidence in “Iron Man 3″.”
Marvel boss Kevin Feige told reporters: “Shao has now started to reset the script. In fact, we prepared the script very early, including the determination of the actors. There has not been much change. The crew will be in the end of June. Work can be started normally. This time, Shane’s withdrawal did have some haste, but Shao saved our plan.”
The reporter asked: “Why did Shane quit?”
Kevin smiled and answered the reporter: “There are many reasons, for example, our ideas are not very the same. Shane insists on his plan, but this will change Marvel’s worldview. Of course, all of this is not a problem. Since we have chosen He believes in his abilities, and the screenwriter will coordinate everything well. However, Shane’s withdrawal involves personal reasons, which I cannot disclose. Thank you.”
This is a high-sounding remark, admitting that there are differences, but never admits that Marvel intervened in the director’s work and forced Shane away. And Shane received a liquidated damages, and he would not talk nonsense in the media. Otherwise, the industry influence of Summit Entertainment is enough to block an influential director.
This is the case in the entertainment industry. It is very difficult to want everything to go smoothly without a base.
The Shao Shuaijun in his last life was temporarily replaced with everything prepared.
Shao Shuaijun immersed himself in the creation of “Iron Man 3” after calling to comfort Shane Black. The reporter changed the director this time. Guessed for a while, but it didn’t last long.
If an unknown director succeeded Shane Black’s class, the media would still be able to report some shady job-grabbing scenes. But Shao Shuaijun personally directs, what other topics can arise? The entire Top Entertainment is his own. What movie he wants to direct. It is not a matter of a word, there is no need to play tricks to grab someone’s job.
And Shao Shuaijun’s four magical series in the Chinese film circle have been hyped for a long time. He has to be busy with the four magical series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unless it is a brain problem, Shao Shuaijun will want to direct “Iron Man”. 3″. It’s just a sequel, a popcorn movie, and the box office goal is set at $700 or 800 million. There’s really nothing to direct.
Shao Shuaijun might be interested if it is a masterpiece like “Avatar” or a movie that can win an Oscar, but not much else.
Some media blocked Shao Shuaijun. Asked the reason for the directing, Shao Shuaijun also explained: “I am not very interested in the directing of “Iron Man 3”. I am not very interested in the sequel plan. I like to create a series by myself. I participated in Marvel movies. Universe, trying one “Avengers” is enough. Now I prefer to direct the four major fantasy series. But Kevin found me because there is no suitable director candidate for Steel 3. In order not to delay the schedule of the entire plan, I I had to take over the director’s job.”
“Director Shao feels that a temporary change of director will affect the movie?”
“One thing, at least I feel a little pressure. You have to shoot very well to ensure that the takeover of the crew is correct. In case the filming fails, this is really an embarrassing result. Others will say, don’t have the ability Pretending to be a hero. Moreover, with temporary substitutions, a lot of work needs to be redone, which is a waste of money.”
“How does Director Shao define success and failure?”
“Of course it depends on the box office and word of mouth. You reporters, how do you think “Iron Man 3” is successful? Beyond “Avengers”?” Shao Shuaijun asked rhetorically.
The reporter replied: “Ironman alone cannot beat the Women’s Federation. The Women’s Federation has almost exceeded US$1.5 billion worldwide. It has not yet ended its release, and even the big ticket warehouse in Japan has not yet been released. This is a phenomenon-level movie that cannot be compared. However, In other words, the box office has exceeded 700 million U.S. dollars, and the word of mouth cannot be worse than the second film.”
“Similar to my expectations.” Shao Shuaijun nodded, “I set a little higher myself. I hope the box office can exceed 800 million US dollars, and the reputation can be comparable to the first one.”
“Then, I wish Director Shao a successful filming and “Iron Man 3″ is a big hit.”
“Thank you.”
The director-changing turmoil has completely calmed down.
Shao Shuaijun settled down in Wilmington, and Li Xiuxiu reluctantly took her son and flew over. He couldn’t have another family of three and separate the two places. Fortunately, Dreaming International Holdings Group does not participate in direct operations and has a lot less business than before. Li Xiuxiu does not need to sit at the headquarters.
“My wife, I can’t accompany you and my son.” Shao Shuaijun returned to his new home in Wilmington after a day of work, hugged Li Xiuxiu and said.
“Why do you call my husband a great director and great hero? The earth is in danger, so the great hero should come out to fight the fire.”
“Great hero, great hero.” Xiao Shao ran out of the room, waving his little hand and shouting.
“Yes, I am a great hero, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, haha.” Shao Shuaijun suddenly straightened his chest.
“Iron Man 3” has changed the director, but there is no change for the crew. Everything is business as usual, only some personnel have made minor adjustments. Now Shao Shuaijun’s title of great director is very strong, and no one dares to dissatisfy it, and when he picked up the director’s microphone, the confidence of the entire crew immediately improved by three points.
Those stars may not care about Shane Black, but in front of Shao Shuaijun, they absolutely dare not make airs. The report comes early and the training comes in advance, and the crew immediately runs at high speed.
At this time, Li Yu came to the United States. After more than a year of shooting and post-production, “The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie” was finally completed. Li Yu is here to watch the film and discuss it for the last time whether there is any need to repair the “Fantasy Drifting of the Boys”. He is the real director and only cares about two things: making movies and making them good.
At the 3D cinema in Santa Monica, Shao Shuaijun and the distributors of Summit Entertainment watched this literary film that combines the sweat of filmmakers from China, the United States and India.
The version shown this time is a version edited by Li Yu.
The beginning of the movie can be said to be indifferent. It is a writer who is downright and unable to write a good story. Hearing people talk about the legendary sailing story of “Pie Patel”, he deliberately found Pai. So he sent this writer to tell his story. When he was a child, he lived with his parents and elder brother in a local government in India. His name “pi” was taken by his uncle after the name of a swimming pool, but because the pronunciation was close to “toilet”, Being teased by classmates.
So Pi referred to himself as “π” for short, which is a mathematical symbol for the ratio of pi, and when introducing himself, he silently wrote the ratio of pi with thousands of decimal places, which conquered all the students.
Pai got religious enlightenment because he drank the holy water from the church, and eventually he believed in three religions at the same time.
The writer wanted to hear sailing stories, and Pie said that he was not sailing alone, and there was a tiger “Richard Parker”. Pai’s father ran a zoo. Originally, the tiger didn’t call it this name, but the administrator’s record was a clerical error and confused the names of animals and people.
Once he was sent to the zoo’s animal management warehouse to feed Richard and make friends with Richard, but his father severely stopped him. Pie thinks that tigers are not beasts, they are as emotional as humans, and his father is very dissatisfied with his ideas. Pai’s father brought a sheep and let Pai see how cruel tigers are.
With the economic downturn, Pai’s father is going to Canada to sell the animals and start a new life.
They boarded a Japanese ship, and the family of Pies ate vegetarian food, but the chef was unwilling to do it, and they fought with Pie’s father. Finally, a Chinese sailor separated them. The pie family can only eat fruits prepared for animals. As a result, the ship sailed to the Mariana Trench but encountered a storm. Pi was happily drenched in the rain on the deck, but the ship flooded his parents’ and brother’s bedroom. Pi wanted to save his family, but failed.
When he returned to the deck again, the animals ran out, and he was also caught on the rescue boat by the crew. A zebra jumped onto the lifeboat, hit the lifeboat into the sea, and drifted farther and farther.
From this episode of the story, the 3D effect began to appear. The entire ship tilted and rolled over in the storm, while Pi was struggling to protect himself on the lifeboat. The shock of the storm, the shock of the rolling sea, through the 3D effect, rushed to the face, and people couldn’t help being immersed in the movie.
It can be said that the beginning of the film is dull, it explains the background of the story, and is the consistent narrative method of literary and artistic films.
From here, I jumped out of the category of literary and artistic films and entered the magnificent scene in the original book, which is called “unfilmed”, presenting the legendary drifting story of the school with the most beautiful and powerful shots. After a year of building, the world’s best special effects company participated in the production process, and it is definitely an indelible experience in the history of 3d movies.
