Now I want to be a good person - Chapter 592
Greg brandy will regularly report to the senior management of Warner company on Liang Kun’s work in the crew of fast pursuit. This is what Warner asked. Many people want to know how powerful Liang Kun is and whether he can make a good action film.
Their biggest doubt about working with Liang Kun is that he has not directed an action film before. DC superhero movies are not only action movies, but also special effects blockbusters. Liang Kun’s steps are a little big.
As a result, Liang Kun completed the shooting work perfectly, exceeding everyone’s expectations. None of the crew disagreed with him, especially the two deputy directors, cameraman and producer Gregg.
The main creators couldn’t find the fault of Liang Kun’s shooting and learned a lot.
Although Liang Kun is only a B-level director, he has learned the shooting techniques of Michael Bay and Christopher Nolan. He only needs to accumulate experience if he wants to be promoted to a. When he makes a large-scale film and integrates the knowledge of making large films with the help of the system, it should be almost.
The actors admire Liang Kun’s acting skills. Although the hero’s literary plays are few, they are still brilliant. Liang Kun has many roles in the play. We can see clearly that he is not performing. He is the killer!
He even said that he felt the murderous spirit emanating from Liang Kun. Even if you know you won’t get hurt, there’s a lot of pressure to shoot action scenes with him.
Keanu Reeves’s films will never make the audience feel uncomfortable. His performance is not hard, unlike the expressions of “little plum”, he occasionally uses too much force. His role is somewhat of his own temperament, a little serious and a little melancholy.
Liang Kun is obviously better than Keanu. He acted the killer alive. He can use his eyes and body language to make people feel John Wick’s emotional fluctuations. He is very murderous, but he is not a reckless man. He can think calmly when doing things. At the same time, he has the tendency of self destruction and looks down on life and death. He is tired of living.
After the performance skills rise to a level, Liang Kun will not be too bad at anything unless there is a problem with the setting of this role.
Warner executives began to regard Liang Kun as the second seed in the cooperative director, and the first seed is Nolan of course.
Liang Kun is certainly no match for Nolan, because the North American box office of the dark knight is as high as 552 million US dollars, which is second only to Titanic in the ranking.
The global box office of the film is about to exceed US $1 billion, surpassing Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in 2007 and ranking fifth in history. The film is only 10 million away from the 974 million box office of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone.
There are many countries around the world that can contribute to the box office. It is only a matter of time before the global box office of the Dark Knight breaks 1 billion, which means that they will rise to the fourth place in history.
Warner is optimistic about Liang Kun’s potential. He may not be able to make films with high box office in the future. Grieg reported that he was not only fast, but also of high quality. There was not much waste material.
This is the advantage of the simplicity of the film story. That’s all the plot. One main line runs through to the end. Besides, there is no need for special effects and post-processing in the film except for the shot and blood. As long as the protagonist’s skill is extraordinary, the director just wants to shoot slowly, but he can’t slow down.
In order to pursue realism, Liang Kun’s action plays are all real shots, and even Weiya hasn’t used them much.
The scene where he picked up a strong man and threw him downstairs in a nightclub used Weiya. It was filmed separately. He first threw the other party out, then switched the camera and shot the extras falling downstairs. Of course, the actor didn’t really fall from upstairs. He jumped from a low table and fell to the ground. No one was hurt.
The film is a visual magic. It’s not difficult to clip the two sets of shots together in the post-processing, making it look like a person falling from a height.
The film will be ready for editing after shooting. In the first cooperation with Warner, Liang Kun is only responsible for the initial cutting and has no final editing right. This was already in his expectation, so he was not depressed at all.
Warner’s attitude has always been: “want the final editing right? Go out and turn right. It’s good to go without seeing you off.”
Warner can still hire first-line directors without giving final editing rights. Although directors with ideals and self-confidence will hope to edit their own works, looking at the whole Hollywood, as long as they cooperate with large companies, only a few directors will insist on the final editing right, and fewer people can really obtain this right.
The big film industry holds big capital and does not worry about finding directors with the same creative ideas to cooperate. The first thing they should guarantee is the box office performance, and the second is the award.
Warner is shifting its focus to film series and gradually reducing its investment in small and medium-cost art films. The film series has a deep audience base, easy story routines and quick box office. Why not?
In recent years, unless a series has been formed, the small and medium-sized original films produced by Warner have almost disappeared. Including romantic comedies, horror films and family films, these types of films began to turn more to independent production.
The most satisfying thing about Liang Kun to Warner is that when he took out the script of “fast pursuit”, he said he had a sequel plan.
After the film, Liang Kun still lived a full life. While editing the film with Greg, he lived together with Talisa in her apartment in New York.
After listening to Liang Kun’s words, Talisa never received a new film. She just went back to Australia for vacation and participated in several variety shows. Her relationship with her parents became better. Knowing that she was getting better and better in Hollywood, her parents began to support her career.
They had no reason not to support it. Talisa made a lot of money and bought her parents a big house in Australia. Although the child doesn’t like staying at home, he is still filial.
After returning to the United States, Talisa immediately went to New York to find Liang Kun. They stayed in New York until they finished editing the film.
After the Olympic Games, Talisa worshipped Liang Kun more and thought he was the most powerful man in the world. They have endless words, even if some words have been chatted on the Internet.
Liang Kun and Grieg had a tacit understanding in editing. Except for some small details, they had almost no differences. What Liang Kun wants to make is a pure commercial film, an action film with violent aesthetics. There is no such thing as the depth of the plot and the discussion of human nature.
When Warner producers hold on to the final editing rights, they mostly consider purely commercial interests. In the cinema line, the longer the time fits the audience’s traditional viewing habits, the box office tends to be more popular. The second is the content. In art films, the more personalized and obscure the plot, the more vulnerable it is to “scissors hands”.
Liang Kun’s films don’t have those things at all. They are all the content that the audience likes to see. That’s what he did when he directed the first film happy death. Paramount people thought it was great, and the final editing was exactly the same as his idea.
Nominally, Liang Kun doesn’t have the final editing right. In fact, he does, because producer Greg admires him. He didn’t believe he could cut better than liang Kun. They just discussed it.
Warner’s main purpose is to make them feel cooperative. If the box office of the first “quick pursuit” explodes, it must be their cooperation to make a sequel. If a director can hold the final editing right, it proves that the director itself is a gold lettered signboard. Liang Kun is too young. Warner looks for someone to stare at him. It’s not to look down on him. It’s a practice of seeking stability.
The first cut was completed soon. The quality is as exquisite as the final cut. Just do a good job in the special effect of shot effect, and you can go directly into the cinema.
Liang Kun has been busy for more than five weeks, which is the production speed of Xiangjiang film in that year. Xiangjiang films are mainly kung fu films. When a group of people fight and don’t pay much attention to literary drama, the shooting speed will be amazing.
Literary drama tests the acting skills of actors, not just the protagonists. If the supporting actor plays too badly and lets the audience play, the whole film will be ruined.
The key to action drama is to play well. Like Guo… Oh, no, ah Jie, he has made the same type of tough guy movies in succession, and still mixed into a class B film male god.
Action movies don’t worry about having no audience, even if the actor is always one way to act. As long as he can smile, frown and stare, he can be comparable to Guo DA as a diver.
After editing, Gregg admired Liang Kun more and said he had never seen a more wonderful action film than this. Liang Kun acted very cool, and all the actions he could make in reality. He didn’t exaggerate. He didn’t hang Weiya once.
Before Chinese actors made action films, they all took the dexterous route. They couldn’t kill a person for most of the day. It was a pattern show operation. Liang Kun broke this practice and killed 116 people in only one film. It was killing God.
“I don’t care what happens later. When will the film be released?” Liang Kun asked.
“It depends on the arrangement of the people in the company. Your play should be very fast,” Grieg said with a smile.
“Then I’ll go to Los Angeles first and wait for the news.” the villa rented by Liang Kun has not been lived for a long time, and the car has been left in the garage for a long time.
“What are you going to do next? If nothing, why don’t you stay in New York?”
“I want to go to Los Angeles to practice tennis. The environment there is more suitable for sports than New York,” Liang Kun explained.
Liang Kun doesn’t like New York. He always feels uncomfortable and depressed here. Because New York is too crowded and old, the population density is much higher than that of Los Angeles.
According to statistics, the permanent population density of New York is more than 10000 people per square kilometer. How crowded is it?
What’s more terrible is that most people in New York live in the four outer districts and go to work in Manhattan every day. This makes the daytime population of Manhattan almost double the number of permanent residents, reaching more than 3 million. Manhattan itself has an area of only 59 square kilometers, and this population density is simply appalling.
Liang Kun will feel comfortable only when he strolls around New York in his dream. In the film of the Avengers, the zetarians attacked the earth and didn’t see them kill several people. It’s definitely a miracle.
Liang Kun and Teresa didn’t leave separately. They flew to Los Angeles together.
However, Liang Kun has greatly changed his shape and will not be easily recognized by reporters. His face changing technique is becoming more and more exquisite. His beard, hairstyle and filming are different. Even acquaintances can hardly recognize it
