Chapter 405: Lucky charm

Although the action crime film "Very Human Trafficking 2" has a poor reputation (Rotten Tomatoes 51%, 48% / 68%), it won the North American Box Office Week Championship on September 2-8, and the double guns and flying cars once again shined on the screen. Seeing a near-scorched popcorn piece actually has a good performance. A lot of filmmakers who fell in a bad summer just naturally admired their eyes and knew that popcorn was delicious! Then even more puzzled by Wang Yang's recent actions, why bother to ask for big trouble?
Let Christopher Nolan film the popcorn-style "Dark Knight", which is probably not even as good as "Escape from the Clone Island" that Michael Bay completely messed up; let him film "Nolan-style" "The Dark Knight", Li An's " "The Hulk" and Darren Aronofsky's "Batman Moments" are the end ...
Li An was nominated for the best director of Aurangska (73rd, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), and Nolan also nominated for the best director of Aurangska (77th, "Mr. Hughes 2"), but It is well known that commercial films are commercial films, and Michael Bay, the worst director of the Golden Sorrel Award, has not even been nominated for the "MTV Award for Best Director". If the organizer has set up that award, it will be defeated in "Escape from the Island" Today, shockingly, Explosive Bay can withstand the doubt and pressure to continue to steer the "Transformers" that has already signed the contract, because he no longer needs to prove his commercial ability. "Transformers" either salted fish or turned into the dark abyss.
However, the classification labels shown in "Memory Fragment" and "Mr. Hughes Bilogy" point to Nolan as a niche director, he has his fans, he has his fans, but this quirky British There is no proof that he is the kind of commercial director who can be popular all over the world. Even his new movie "Lethal Magic" released next year is not optimistic about where he can sell his seats and is not qualified! To put it bluntly, he is a person dealing with literature and art, how to revive Batman?
Who can imagine Martin Scorsese and Alfred Hitchcock shooting "Spider-Man"? God knows if it works, anyway, it does n’t look right.
"Jonathan, many people say we can't do it ... we can do it."
On a bright weekend, the Nolan brothers still hurry up to discuss the film work.
A movie starts with a script. After the flame film signed a contract with Warner Bros. and Allen-F Horne and others have no choice but to accept the reality, Wang Yang quickly announced the structure of the new crew's screenwriter team. Aronofsky Was kicked out, leaving David-S-Gauye, joined by the Nolan brothers, everyone will jointly build the main story frame, and then Jonathan Nolan will be responsible for writing the script, and finally Wang Yang will polish the gate.
Several people have already had a detailed conversation with the script. Because the story will continue the first episode of the unsalable, no matter how dark, Wayne has survived the unbearable past night and walked out of the painful memory that tortured him. The person you want to be. They must find something new to continue to torment him, both in terms of story and thinking, so the main characters in the sequel are new prosecutor Harvey Dent and Batman ’s natural enemy clown.
Batman Wayne is different from other Sunshine superheroes. He is a dark hero who can do whatever he can to achieve his purpose. At the same time, he is like a knight to fight against criminals and maintain the security of Gotham City. However, as soon as Batman appeared, his surroundings could make him messy and disorderly, making it difficult to distinguish right from wrong with a clear moral concept. He was an anarchist. He was inclined to evil. An anarchist clown appears. When a justiceful politician Harvey Dent turns into an evil anarchist, how does Batman face it? This is a collision and choice between faith, right and evil, good and evil.
"I want to really reflect on some issues through a story, that is, starting from realism, no one can be free from the law, even as a" competent police "."
In the bright and quiet study room, the Nolan brothers sat around the small round table. The two didn't need to say much. They knew that "The Dark Knight" must be a black reality style film. The problem is its commerciality.
Few people know that Christopher Nolan is also a fan of Michael Bay. He has never watched light commercials and popcorn films, from "Following" to "Memory Fragment." That can indeed be called a niche CULT film; "Mr. Hughes" "Once brought him a lot of confusion about the relationship between the story, the storyteller, and the audience who listened to the story. Wang Yang's words inspired him." Mr. Hughes 2 "feels better and better. He feels that he is getting closer and closer to the balance point of finding long-term business and art. Perhaps "Fatal Magic" or "Dark Knight" can taste that wonderful taste.
"Batman and double-faced people both have to go through choices and trials. They were created by clowns ..." Jonathan Nolan said, nodding, tapping into the laptop on his desk to record the script. The opposite Nolan in white shirt thought and said: "What would Batman become if he lost his power? When the clown first appeared, what shock should his appearance bring? We want to let The audience is excited ... First of all, what personality should our clown be? "
Not all of the role-setting work belongs to the two brothers. David-S-Gauye, who is unsurpassed in the original comics, is a key figure in this regard, but he is not in this "family meeting".
"Evil, madness, destructiveness, cleverness, hearts ..." Jonathan read these characteristics while striking. In the previous conversation, Wang Yang made an intuitive portrayal of the clown, which undoubtedly made everyone's thoughts like the sky , It became clear very quickly.
Thinking of Wang Yang ’s words, Great Nolan looked at the stack of Batman comics on the table and said:
Yang is right, we must recall some deeply buried memories, that is, the original comics from history The accumulated part of the essence is what people really think about Batman, and it is also the most exciting and resonating thing. The clown is not just a criminal, his main motive is to hope that Gotham City becomes That's because of deep-rooted anarchy ... "
Both brothers know that they have to read all the Batman comics carefully to find the essence of the detached comics; but the tacit understanding of the whole team is not to be loyal to the comics. For their stories, the comic characters can be changed, even including the characters Gender, a comic book is like a parts market, they pick the necessary elements and make the characters serve the story. This is the biggest point that is different from "Batman Time to War". Their first place is not to discuss the problem. Not to reproduce the comic, but to tell the story.
Excitement and tension in the audience is a major factor in blockbuster sales, so the clever and evil clowns must shock people's hearts as soon as they appear, and increase the audience's interest and patience to watch the story.
Regardless of the script, Greater Nolan needs to find a more profound director's feeling, including watching some classic movies that can be inspired, and performing speculative analysis, such as "Firefly", "Blade Runner", and the 89-year version of "Batman". The general theme of "Dark Knight" is part of "Firefly", Batman VS Joker is a bit like blue gloves VS Marauder leader, political concepts and good and evil topics are also discussed very much. The Throne of Gods and Gods, the Awesome World of Nine Heavens, the strongest abandoning the Shaozhou Zhou Royal will kill the night, the Throne of the Gods and Gods, the Awesome World of Nine Heavens, the strongest abandon the Shaozhou Zhou Royals will kill the night The strongest abandoning the Shaozhouzhou royal family to create gods will kill the gods and seals the throne at night. The most powerful one is to abandon the Shaozhouzhou royal power. He also wants to think about the control of the grand scene shown by "Firefly" and "Blade Runner". The tone of his style, etc ... He will slowly accumulate some energy and feeling.
The clock on the wall walked every second, and the discussion of the Nolan brothers did not stop. No matter how the outside world questioned the decline of singing, and even mocked and scolded, the two brothers have only one mind, that is, seize the opportunity and do their work. It is absolutely necessary to make "The Dark Knight" into a classic film history film that is well-selling, don't live up to the magical Yang, don't live up to yourself! Let the world see their abilities and know that Wang Yang's decision is not wrong!
Although Wang Yang can provide a lot of mature ideas, making a movie is a team work. If one person does not understand enough, others need to understand. The most intuitive words can only create a hazy and ethereal atmosphere. Everyone needs to grasp the state and reach a consensus, so Breaking the script will still be a long process; especially Nolan, as a director, needs a gradual period of time. However, no one in Wang Yang and the Nolan family is in a hurry. They have to complete another project "Fatal Magic" that has been prepared to the final stage.
Another project of Flame Film's new project "Old Boy" is also questioning. Wang Yang is not interested in participating in its production affairs. He really does not want to be exposed to some distorted thoughts when his daughter is coming to the end of the year. Of course, not every FF project has Wang Yang's figure. The newly appointed vice president of production department Lin Wei will act as the executive producer of "Old Boy", managing scripts, casting, production and other matters, focusing on promoting this Project development.
Because of a "furious car" that disregarded physical mechanics, Lin Yibin was crowned as "Popcorn-Lin" and was regarded as a commercial director of the type of Michael Bay by media magazines. Now he has a dream. Lin's directing opportunity is more exciting than anyone. He will not be frustrated by the outside world's doubts, they will only give him more motivation! The producer Flame Movie is full of encouragement and confidence. This is an exciting working state. He almost even wants to drop the microphone of "Furious Speed ​​2", of course, he will not really do it.
However, in an interview with the media, Lin Yibin couldn't hide his happiness and self-confidence at all: "I don't know why everyone thinks that I am only a commercial director. In fact, this is not the case. I was born in an independent film. I am independent. The pursuit of the film has never stopped, and never will, the experience of shooting mainstream commercial films has made me perfect my thinking on literary and artistic films. "Old Boy" is a very complicated story, I am very grateful to Miracle Young for giving it to Me, now I can make a revenge movie I want. "
Lin Yibin's boarding of the "Los Angeles Times" did not get much support. Except that "Hot Mochi" does not have a final score, there is no social response and no awards; "Furious Speed" also shows that he is a stimulus to the adrenal glands. Where can a director who has been have such a mentality? Obviously, popcorn is more suitable for him to go down. As for the end of the road of "Old Boy", people will not know the answer until it is released in 2008.
"Magic Yang intends to invite Jon Feiru to direct" Iron Man ""-Yahoo Entertainment
In the past two days, not only the fresh news of "TDK" and "Old Boy", the media also revealed Wang Yang ’s intention to produce another production plan. In the selection of the director of "Iron Man" scheduled to be released in the summer vacation of 2007, he aimed Jon Feiru.
Jon Feiru (1966-10-19), 39, who has not had a birthday, is a New Yorker. After graduating from high school, he went to the community, from garage cleaners to Wall Street office clerks, and after a few years he finally I found myself most wanting to be a reel, so I went to Chicago and then to Hollywood. However, after many years of acting career, except for some dragon sets and supporting roles, such as the biggest screen achievement in the fourth season of "Old Friends" starred in "Peter-Baker" in the six episodes, he did not break out of the fame, on the contrary In screenwriter, director, and producer, he tapped his talents.
In 1996, Jon Feiru's screenwriter's debut novel, "The Full-Time Prodigal Son", achieved a record of 4.555 million box office at a cost of 200,000, which made friends and starring Vince Vaughn start to become popular. With this small business miracle, Fei Ru attracted the attention of independent filmmakers. In 2001, the new independent production company "Cardiff Giant (ff-ant)" invested 5 million as a crime comedy as a director and starring crime comedy. "MADE", did not expect the final box office worldwide 5.48 million, Cardiff Giant has not yet produced a second film.
Because the artisan movie was the distributor of "MADE" at that time, and the flame movie also acquired the artisan, so this lost film is a member of the flame film and television library.
In spite of this, Fei Ru, who is not venomous, still got a chance to direct a 33 million production budget. The fantasy comedy "Christmas Elf" invested by 6 independent companies including Xinxian, after its release in November 2003, the film received 1.73. 100 million North American box office / 222 million global box office, not only makes Fei Ru become a hot commercial film director, but also one of the few new lines of glory in recent years. Next, Jon Feiru directed the Colombian company's 66 million production fee for the science fiction action film "Game of the Brave 2", which will be released on November 11 this year.
Although Fei Ru ’s talents beyond the comedy films have yet to be verified by time and market, at least for now, this should be Wang Yang ’s most normal and correct decision recently, so that those who are interested in finding faults ca n’t scold them. Come, no one knows what "Iron Man" will look like, because there is no script at present, and Fei Ru is a pretty good candidate. Naturally, fans of "Iron Man" comic fans and movie fans have naturally looked forward to it. Reason.
The new line is also very satisfied with Wang Yang ’s choice. Chairman Robert Saya and Michael Lynn Lian claimed to praise
Ferru is our lucky charm!
The two elderly people in their 60s can finally sleep peacefully. How scared they are Young looking for James Wen to direct! How come the comedy version is more popular than the horror version?
In fact, this is not the development that Wang Yang hopes to see. It ’s not that the two elderly people will have nightmares, but it is this matter. He originally planned to contact Fei Ru after the release of Game of the Brave 2 because of this A movie completely messed up on selling tickets ...
29.25 million North American box office, 64.32 million global box office! According to the future film and television information library, Wang Yang knew that "Game of the Brave 2", despite receiving a fresh tomato from the film critic industry, offended the audience. At the first weekend, 3223 theaters had only 13.42 million box office (average single hall 4,166). Recognizing the bad results that made Columbia lose his underwear, it didn't take much to think about it, Jon Feiru suddenly turned from hot to hot potato.
One of the contracts signed by the new line and Flame is that Wang Yang must at least be the producer and screenwriter of "Iron Man". Flame also added the terms of absolute rights in Wang Yang's production. In other words, he finalized the director.
Originally Wang Yang wanted to keep it secret, but seeing Justin Lin gone and Joss Whedon not interested, coupled with the unusual decision that Magic Young suspected of smashing his brain, Robert Shaye and Michael Lynn were in a hurry Asked in turn, the two old men would not give up if they didn't get the answer, even if Wang Yang said "there is no candidate list yet" he would not believe it. Wang Yang, who was troubled and almost collapsed, simply expressed his intentions. After the two old men were satisfied, they felt that the publicity was not too much. While "Game of the Brave 2" entered the stage of release, it was better to take Fei Ru a ride. So the new line released the news.
"I knew it!" Wang Yang really felt a headache when he heard the news. He clearly told them not to talk nonsense on the grounds that it was not finalized. Is "Iron Man" so few dynamic rumors? He did n’t want to say that he did n’t want to lower the price of Jon Feiru, but that when
Game of the Brave 2
passed, he would definitely be hit by a
sight failure
. Lin Yaobin's doubts will be louder, which will cause them unnecessary pressure.
Wang Yang can only shake his head for the two people who have been involved. They all blamed him for thinking that the two old men would keep their secrets. His attitude is actually quite casual. Lucky charm? "But it was a fact, and Wang Yang did not want to change candidates, so he contacted Jon Feiru to make a formal invitation. Fei Ru expressed his interest but needed time to consider and wait for the decision of the game after the release of "Game of the Brave 2" and after reading the "Iron Man" script.
The good news ushered in this weekend is that the plaster cast for more than a month can finally be removed, and Wang Yang took another X-ray film in the hospital, showing that the broken bone in his right hand has healed, and it will be able to exercise and maintain in the future. .
"Oh, ho!" Early in the early autumn Sunday morning, the sun was shining and warm. On the back garden lawn of a house in Palo Alto, Wang Yang made a few punches with his right hand, and he couldn't help but frown high, with some bones in his hands Soreness, but the biggest problem is the same strength. The punching is not as fast as before. I always feel that something is wrong here or there. He has suffered many injuries in martial arts fights for many years, but it is the first time he has suffered a fracture. He knows that it takes patience and time to recover. What?
Thinking of this, he suddenly became irritable and couldn't help but throw a punch: "Damn!" Kicked the grass of the flying lawn again: "FUсK!"
"Jan ..." Jessica standing next to her whispered softly, her face full of worried and caring expressions, she understood his mood ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Danny not far away sideways sideways in doubt Ears, walked over the night and arched Wang Yang ’s calf with his mouth and nose. He bent over and stroked it with his right hand, raised his head and smiled at her: "Nothing." Jessica also smiled, comforting and encouraging. Tao: "Master, take your time, it will be fine."
Wang Yang nodded silently, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above. The dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes, and the gentleness of the Yi people calmed his mind. He said, "I shouldn't be like this. What qualifications do I have to complain? Think of Catri Those people in the disaster area, and we are bathed comfortably in the sun. "Jessica also looked to the sky:" Yes, we need to be grateful. Hey! Is this good? "She laughed:" I won't hit you anymore, Even if you fight ... I will let you hold one hand! "
"You reminded me." Wang Yang stood up with a smile, his right hand was behind him, his feet jumped, and his left hand waved wildly to her: "I let you beat you with one hand, it's okay! Win! You ’re enough.
Jessica turned to face her fist with a swollen belly, questioning:
Why?
Wang Yang stroked her belly and blinked with a smirk:
I tell you why at night ... Or now !? "Jessica rolled her eyes and was dragged towards the house. She smiled reluctantly:"! I said! I went in to watch TV. "...
Time goes by day and night. After the weekend, the crew of "500 Days with Shamo" continues to work, and the footsteps of the 57th Emmy Awards in 2005 are gradually approaching.
