Hualiu Director

Chapter 309 Another great shot is born

After two key delays, "Hello, Li Huanying" was finally released 63 days after its release, and the final box office was fixed at 60.6 billion yuan.

This is a figure that stunned everyone. It not only broke the historical box office record of "My Motherland", but also allowed Chinese-language movies to skip the 40 billion and 50 billion eras and directly break through to the 60 billion era. It is an absolute epoch-making work.

A high box office brings high profits. The media with good things roughly estimated that the producer can get at least 32 billion yuan. Excluding taxes and necessary expenses, the estimated net profit is nearly 26 billion yuan.

Some media lamented the earning power of Hualiu films, while others commented that Hualiu could be a sole proprietorship, but ended up losing [-] to [-] million yuan in net profits for so-called risk avoidance.

However, only those who really know how to know how smart Hualiu's decision-makers are.

First of all, if there were not so many resources of film and television companies, "Hello, Li Huanying" would not be able to have such a good publicity, let alone get the second highest share of filming in the beginning, and the filming in the later period would not be so much. It can't be that long.Naturally, it is impossible to get such a terrible box office.

So the high box office is actually made by everyone using resources, but the final honor belongs to Lin Hong and Hualiu Film and Television.From this perspective, profit sharing is a decision to win more.

However, for the employees of Hualiu Film and Television, the record-setting box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" not only brings them generous bonuses, but also means that there is another pure gold five-pointed star on the company's stairs. Their most important honor.

However, before Lin Hong could enjoy this glory, he went to Glasgow in Scotland. It is cold and humid, it is rainy all year round, and it is close to the harbor, and there are large areas of Gothic buildings. It is the prototype city of Gotham City that Lin Hong described.Naturally, it will also be the most important filming location of DC universe in the future.

Lin Hong and Spielberg have already divided the filming of "Joker-Origin of Evil", and the two will shoot separately, while the art work will be arranged by Spielberg's team, which is also for the unity of the overall style of the film.

Then someone may ask again, since it is for the same style, why use two directors?

Because the film "Joker-Origin of Evil" itself has the characteristics of changing styles before and after. Of course, this does not mean that one director cannot be used to shoot two styles. Both Lin Hong and Spielberg have this ability.

However, both of them liked the script very much, and in the end they decided to shoot it together.

In terms of the plot, Spielberg chose to shoot the story before the clown was completely blackened, while Lin Hong filmed the plot after the clown hatched the complete body of evil in the refrigerator.

Two people have more roles in one role, and more brilliant roles in one role.

Out of shooting habits, Lin Hong finally brought his royal photographer Zeng Shuming and his most trusted field manager Liao Xingmin, and a dozen people from their respective working teams also came to Glasgow together.

It was with their help that Lin Hong was able to successfully complete the work during the three-month filming period.

During these three months, Lin Hong fully felt the strength of Spielberg, the world's top director. He absorbed the old man's directing ability like a sponge.

And Spielberg also saw in Lin Hong what a genius director ability is, and he admired Lin Hong's ability to take care of editing while shooting. This is definitely not something that can be explained simply by talent, which needs to surpass ordinary people. Innumerable times the talent.

Of course Spielberg didn't know that this talent was called Goldfinger.

In short, the two talented directors have almost no dissatisfaction with each other's shooting content, on the contrary, there are more places where they cherish each other.

Occasionally there are some different opinions, as long as the filming director expresses his ideas, he can basically convince the other party.

The last shot of "Joker-Origin of Evil" is a scene of Arthur dancing on the stairs. Lin Hong insisted on saving this most beautiful shot for the end. For this reason, he took a whole day off yesterday. He wanted to Everyone is in good shape.

At first, Spielberg didn't understand why Lin Hong valued this shot. In his opinion, the best shot in the whole film should be when Arthur stands on the roof of the police car to receive worship.

It wasn't until Lin Hong said that this was the first appearance of Arthur after he transformed into a clown, and that the scene of dancing on the stairs could be used as a promotional poster, did Spielberg attract enough attention.

"Clear the venue and prepare for the live music!"

After three months, Liao Xingmin's spoken English has become quite good. In his own words, next time he finds a foreign girl to play a friendly match, he doesn't need to find an interpreter.

""Joker-Origin of Evil" scene 28, scene 1, article 1, action!"

Green shirt, yellow vest and red suit, long taupe hair has been dyed dark green, coupled with the clown makeup on his face and the evil smile on his face, anyone who sees it knows that this clown is not the one that anyone can bully He's a different guy, he's a complete Joker.

After walking a few steps up the stairs, Arthur was in such a good mood that he began to twist his body after going down a few stairs, and then the more he twisted, the more excited he became.

At this moment, Lin Hong waved his hand in the direction of the stage manager, and Liao Xingmin immediately turned on the player that was ready, and bright, cheerful and rhythmic music played.

The music started out small and gradually grew in size as Arthur began to dance.

Spielberg's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin Hong subconsciously. He knew that this was a song that Lin Hong specially wrote for this scene last month, and he even asked his friends in China to record it. It seemed different. extraordinary.

"What's the name of this song? It's very nice. When the time comes, you can consider using the live soundtrack for post-production."

Spielberg asked the assistant softly.

"This is "rock&rollpart" written by Director Lin Hong. The singer is a Chinese singer named Xiao Yushen, who is also a friend of Director Lin Hong."

Spielberg nodded, feeling deeply about Lin Hong's talent in his heart. A director who has a very high achievement in music has a great advantage. They can often better integrate music into the plot and know what kind of music to play. Music can better set off the inner emotional changes of the characters or promote the development of the plot.

As soon as Arthur finished dancing, he also jumped from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs, and the shot was considered finished.

"cut!"

Lin Hong didn't announce that the shot had passed the test, nor did he say no. He watched the replay on the monitor for the first time, and Spielberg hurried over to have a look.

"Any questions, Director?"

Jacques Phoenix also came over. He was actually very satisfied with the passage just now.

For this minute-to-minute shot, he specially studied dance training for half a month. He felt that every step he took just now was on the right footsteps, and the music was perfect, but why did the director still look dissatisfied? Woolen cloth?

Spielberg also thinks this episode is good, from the actor's body to the camera, it is very good, and there are almost no faults, but it is not as amazing as Lin Hong said. The picture of Ding receiving worship is still worse.

"Old Zeng, save one!"

Lin Hong first told Zeng Shuming to keep this one, and then turned around to answer the two people's questions just now.

"Jaquin, your performance is very good, and the dance is also very exciting. But I think you can do better, so I will keep this one first, and we will make a new one, Joaquin, let us try other feelings."

"Other feelings?"

Jacques was a little surprised, but he believed that this young director would give him new guidance. These days, everyone in the crew has recognized his talent.

"That's right, a new feeling. Think about it, Arthur is no longer appearing at this time, he is a clown, a collection of all negative emotions, this is his first glamorous appearance, and he wants to show everyone announced his birth.

At this time, the clown finally found a sense of identity in himself, and he didn't need to compromise with anyone, including dance steps and music.

So don't think about the problems of dancing and music, and don't worry about whether your body will go out of the frame. What clowns hate most is the rules.

All you have to do is to vent your femininity and madness through dancing, as well as your contempt for the world, and announce your arrival to the world. "

When Lin Hong explained this, the eyes of both Joaquin Phoenix and Spielberg were shining. They are both top talents in film. Of course, they knew that what Lin Hong said was absolutely right. What they are acting now is not Arthur, the clown who has just transformed, is a complete lunatic.

""Joker-Origin of Evil" scene 28, scene 1, article 2, action!"

This time, when the clown appeared in the scene, his movements were bigger and more exaggerated. Even with the paint on his face, he could still feel the morbid madness.

The most exciting thing is his dance steps. It is no longer a rigid dance that is stuck on the music point. Instead, it is a hysterical dance, with unrestrained dance steps, free improvisation, and a mockery of the world in his body and eyes. and contempt.

Lin Hong was excited, he finally reproduced this superb classic lens.

Spielberg was excited. He never expected to witness the birth of such a great shot on the final day. As Lin Hong said, this shot can be used as a promotional poster, and it is more suitable than any other shot.

Jacques Phoenix had no time to get excited. He was fully integrated into the role of the clown at this moment. This feeling of rebirth is really cool.

"Cut! Perfect!"

Everyone at the scene applauded wildly after hearing Lin Hong's words. Jacques Phoenix completed a great performance, and Director Lin Hong also completed a great guidance. It can be said that they jointly created this classic picture .

Lin Hong took a large bouquet of flowers from Liao Xingmin, and then sent them to Joaquin Phoenix, who had just recovered from his madness.

"Jacques, welcome back to Earth, you gave a great performance, this is definitely at the level of a movie star, you did it! It's over, everything is over, the movie is over."

Jacques Phoenix took the flowers, he hugged Lin Hong like a child and cried.

No one knew why he was crying, maybe he was too tired these past few months, look at him now, skinny and skinny.

Maybe he is still immersed in the clown's world, and he is crying for the clown's tragic experience.

Maybe he just wanted to cry, and wanted to vent the negative emotions accumulated over the past few months, because now that it was done, he no longer had to suppress himself.

Spielberg also came over to hug the two of them. The filming trip belonging to the three of them is finally over. Judging from the current work, they are also destined to create greatness.

According to Hollywood's urgency, directors usually take a vacation after filming and then start editing the film for post-production. However, Spielberg obviously knows Lin Hong's habit, and this time the two directors filmed at the same time. He didn't feel tired. Feeling unsatisfied, so I vented my excess energy to the post-production.

Plus, both directors know Joker-Origins means too much to the DC Universe, so they both have box office and artistic ambitions.

Making the finished film as soon as possible can apply for those important film festivals, which is also the need for publicity and artistic recognition.

Among the important film festivals that have not yet opened this year, the Cannes Film Festival will definitely not be able to catch up. Fortunately, there are two major film festivals in Europe, Venice and Berlin, and there are also Shanghai International Film Festival and Tokyo International Film Festival in Asia. For publicity, it’s okay. Participated in Cairo International Film Festival and Montreal International Film Festival.

Of course, the premise is that the finished film can be released within a month, so the two directors flew to the beautiful country together to do post-production on the second day after the filming.

Hollywood's film industry is very finely divided, and many jobs are done by dedicated personnel.For example, most artists in China do part-time rendering, while Hollywood has talents who specialize in rendering. Such talents can only do animation in China.

Hollywood directors are actually quite sad, especially small directors. They have no control over many things in the later stage. Even only big directors have the right to make final cuts. Many times they have to look at the face of the producer, the editing and ending of the movie Can't grasp it.

Fortunately, Lin Hong and Spielberg are both great directors, and they had a certain editing direction when discussing the script and shooting, and there were very few differences between the two, so the editing took half a month. That's it.

There is no need for Lin Hong to follow the rest of the dubbing, soundtrack and subtitle work. He believes that Spielberg is as concerned as he is.

He has been working abroad for several months. Although Song Xiaohan visited Scotland once, Lin Hong is still very homesick, especially Hu Dajie's dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, mother-in-law's fatty sausage noodles, and Song Xiaohan's fried crab in the typhoon shelter is also good.

When Lin Hong was not in China, his popularity finally dropped a little. There was no way, the cost of paparazzi was too high, and the domestic entertainment media could only know the latest news about Lin Hong through news reports from foreign counterparts.

However, Lin Hong’s return to China was very sudden this time. It was not until he took his fiancée Song Xiaohan and friends to dinner and was photographed by the paparazzi that everyone knew that the man who could be on the hot search at any time was back.

After returning to China, Lin Hong stayed with his family for a few days, and when Sister Hu got bored and started pushing people away, he went to Shanghai to visit his mother-in-law. After being fed by her mother-in-law for a few days, he thought of going to Xingchen Anime.

However, the current Star Animation is on the right track, and every position is in charge of professionals. Lin Hong is now considered a master except for the plot direction of the comics, and he is more like a younger brother at other times.

But what Lin Hong wants is this kind of effect. A healthy company is Star Animation that can succeed without relying on him.

After finishing the inspection work of Xingchen Animation, just when Lin Hong was thinking about where to go next, the manager Wang Jinghua called.

"There is a job that cannot be turned away, and you must return to the capital immediately."
