Director’s Legend

The male and female protagonists of "Teddy Bear" were appointed by Shao Shuaijun, and the rest of the roles were selected by Yan Luis Leinard.

The voice of the teddy bear will be dubbed by Luis Leinard himself, played by Giovanni Rubisi, who has always wanted to **** the teddy bear to his son, the neurotic Downey, and Laura van der Water as a good friend of the heroine Tanya, Joel Markhaar plays Rex, the boss of the entangled heroine, and Edin Minks plays Downey’s son Robert.

In addition to these main roles and some supporting roles, "Teddy Bear" also invited three star performers, Sam Jones, Nora Jones, and Tom Skirie, all of whom will play themselves. Walked into the life of the hero and heroine because of the teddy bear.

Among the staff, there are a total of four deputy directors. The first deputy director is Inst. He is the deputy director of "Inception" and works well with Shao Shuaijun. The second deputy director is Gao Zhisheng, Shao Shuaijun's old subordinate. The other two deputy directors are all full-time deputy directors of Summit Entertainment, responsible for the specific preparations of the crew.

The photographers are Huang Yuetai and Lu Le. After previous collaborations with Shao Shuaijun, the two have gradually mixed up in Hollywood. Some other prop artists, lighting engineers, and sound engineers are basically contracted personnel of Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment who have cooperated. Shao Shuaijun likes familiar staff, because knowing each other's temperament makes it easier to call up.

Looking at the full of people, Shao Shuaijun cleared his throat and said: "I am glad that we can get together again and shoot a movie happily. Most of you have worked with me before, knowing my shooting habits, what should I pay attention to? , What you need to care about, what must be observed, and what is not nervous, you are responsible for telling the new colleagues. We strive to enter the shooting state faster, complete the production of the film as soon as possible, and get it early Red envelopes. As you all know, I have always been a generous person. As long as I am happy, there will never be less red envelopes."

The crowd applauded enthusiastically, and several familiar old fritters also slapped Shao Shuaijun's flattery with their throats, what "the boss is wise" and "the director is awesome."

Shao Shuaijun pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "I plan to release this movie in May. Therefore, we have to finish the filming before March. It only takes two months. Normal scenes are not difficult, but Teddy Bears need to use motion capture technology, and you have to cooperate well. In a few days, Weta, the CG special effects team of "Avatar", will move into the crew of "Rise of the Apes", I will arrange for them to come over and have a good conversation with you Things to pay attention to in motion capture. Especially Joseph you, you have a lot of interaction with teddy bears. Basically you will perform to the air and give me a quick start. Can it be done?"

Joseph nodded: "Of course, after I received the script, I was doing this exercise."

Joseph is Shao Shuaijun's most admired young actor in Hollywood. He is diligent and studious. He has a good appearance. He is also very good and worth training. Nolan can cultivate superstars like Christian Bale, and Shao Shuaijun also wants to cultivate some Hollywood superstars.

Scarlett Johansson is the one he is going to praise, and the "Black Widow" role of the future Marvel superhero is created for her. Joseph is also one of Shao Shuaijun's favorites. In the superhero movie "Ant-Man", Shao Shuaijun intends to wait for Joseph to honed for a few years and become his superhero role.

In addition to these two, Jack Gyllenhill, who Shao Shuaijun’s first Hollywood collaboration, is also a favorite of Shao Shuaijun. The superhero movie "Thor" is already waiting for him, and the male of "Rise of the Apes" The protagonist, Gyllen Hill was chosen.

The great director Christopher Nolan has his Nolan army, Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine and Marion Goliath. Shao Shuaijun also has his own Shaw Brothers regiment, two popular niches with unlimited potential, and a future Hollywood queen.

The mobilization meeting ended with the sound of Shao Shuaijun's arrangement and the response of the cast and crew.

As soon as it was over, Shao Shuaijun called all the directors together: "This time I double-opened two movies. I definitely don't have much energy to keep the two crews running smoothly. Therefore, your directors must come forward. Inst , You are the first deputy director. When I am away, the crew will be in charge of you, and you will be in charge of the microphone for the simple sub-shots."

Inst responded: "Shao, don't worry. Although I am not as talented as you, I can deal with some simple shooting scenes. "Teddy Bear" is an R comedy, so there is no need to worry about our insufficient handling of the details. , You can put most of your energy into "Rise of the Apes"."

"With your words, I am relieved." Shao Shuaijun gratefully patted Inst on the shoulder. After explaining some precautions, the meeting of the director group also broke up. Shao Shuaijun will now go to the crew of "Rise of the Apes" to arrange tasks.

Gao Zhisheng sent Shao Shuaijun out. Before getting into the car, Shao Shuaijun told Gao Zhisheng: "Little Gao, this time I come to the United States to make a movie and learn more. You have also been the deputy director who has been sitting behind me for a few years. Several TV series were filmed in the Mainland, especially the Chinese version of "The Big Bang Theory". They were excellent. Now you have the ability to take charge of a movie alone. In the crew, you have to share the work of Inst. I have a good one. The local script, called "The Warm Corpse", work hard, I ask you to direct it alone!"

"Thank you, boss, I will do things with my heart!" Gao Zhisheng patted his chest with joy and promised.

"Yep."

Gao Zhisheng is a high-achieving student in Southern California, and has been honed for several years. Whether it is "33 Days of Broken Love" or "Old Boy", as well as the director's assistant in "Inception", he has a good performance. Qucai. He is different from Wang Yixue. Wang Yixue is the kind of director who specializes in TV dramas. Gao Zhisheng and Li Fangfang are film directors.

Being able to bring out a great director by himself is no worse than making a classic movie. Shao Shuaijun is still looking forward to Gao Zhisheng.

The bodyguard opened the door, and Shao Shuaijun got in with his head short and drove towards the suburbs of San Francisco.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was filmed daily in Patel Township in San Francisco. From the town to the north, it is Moore Redwood Park. The scene of chimpanzees gathering in the forest in the movie will be filmed in this Moore Redwood Park. Looking towards the sea in Redwood Park, you can see the city of San Francisco and the most conspicuous Golden Gate Bridge.

When we arrived at the crew in Patel Town, it was already night time, and the crew had already returned. However, for the director team, the eight-hour work system is not applicable. Shao Shuaijun came to No. 24 Suiwen Street, the temporary residence of Shao Shuaijun, in a very short time.

The directors are Paul, Alves and Lisa. Paul and Alves are the associate directors of Inception, and Lisa is the associate director of Twilight Saga: New Moon. They are all acquaintances. . In addition, there are two CG directors, technicians from Weta Digital, Loyle and Carlos, who are responsible for assisting Shao Shuaijun to complete all the CG director work.

The CG team of Weta Digital has not arrived yet. Currently, it is Shao Shuaijun, three deputy directors, and two director assistants who have just graduated from USC.

"Hi everyone, how are the crew arrangements?" Shao Shuaijun motioned to the two deputy directors to make coffee for everyone, and then asked.

"The crew has already started rehearsing. Jack Gyllenhill has been nervously playing against Andy Serkins for the past two days, and Andy Serkins has worked harder, except to fight Gyllenhill. I went to the zoo every day to watch the chimpanzees.” Paul said with a smile.

The actor of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the actor Will will be starred by Jack Gyllenhill. Jack Gyllenhill has good acting skills. He was nominated for an Oscar in "Brokeback Mountain", but "The Night Watcher" let him There was a lot of loss in the limelight, and it wasn't until "Inception" had a slight turnaround. His salary is the highest, ten million dollars.

The heroine Caroline will be starred by Freida Pinto. Freida is the heroine of this year’s Oscar hit "Slumdog Millionaire". Shao Shuaijun was also acquainted with Freida when he was producing in India. . The reason why Freida was invited this time was also to make Freida an Indian superstar, as a big killer for pursuing the dream of South Asia based in India.

The Indians are not friendly to the Chinese. Although there are several excellent films in the production of Dreaming South Asia, it is not smooth to expand the scale further. Relying on the promotion of Indian stars to open the way is the best way. Freida is an Indian superstar in the plan.

And the gorilla played by Andy Serkins, many people may have heard of Andy's name, but if he walks in front of anyone, it is estimated that no one will know him. He has performed in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and starred in "King Kong", but unfortunately they all performed with motion capture technology and expression capture technology.

He is one of the earliest actors in the motion capture industry. The Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and the King Kong in "King Kong" are all shown by him through movements and expressions.

Sony’s latest facial expression technology is born out of motion capture technology, which can show the expressions of non-human characters in a more subtle way. This technology is the first use in "Avatar", this time "Rise of the Apes" is to rely on this technology to perfectly show the gorilla Caesar.

Unlike the violence of King Kong, Caesar the gorilla is a guy with superb intelligence, and is the future leader of ape **, it is not easy to play Caesar well. In fact, before Shao Shuaijun had decided to shoot "Old Boy", the script was given to Andy Serkins, and Andy also silently pondered this for a long time.

Basically the above three are the protagonists, and the other actors are supporting roles with very few scenes, so there is no need to repeat them one by one. It can be said that the filming of normal scenes, this movie is not much, it still accounts for most of the special effects. In particular, the huge number of apes involved in the movie will be created by CG special effects instead of a real ape.

The director group finished the meeting, it was already midnight.

Shao Shuaijun didn't delay any more time and let everyone go back to rest. He also called home and talked with Li Xiuxiu for a while and fell asleep.

Tomorrow, it’s time for really hard shooting! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
