Hollywood legendary director

The crew of "Chain Saw".

"Director Lyman, you are finally here." Wen Ziren looked extremely happy.

It's just like……

The person who suddenly fell into the water grabbed a strong arm and regarded it as a support.

But Lehmann didn't have such a good mood. Anyone who rushed to Los Angeles from France in a hurry would be like this.

This guy suddenly called last night and said something went wrong.

Alas, my heart is tired.I clearly said that I don’t have to worry about the crew, but it turns out...

This is how things are. During this time, as soon as the project was approved, Wen Ziren was busy raising the crew.

The crew and the filming team can say that, after all, Paramount Pictures and Europa Pictures have a large number of candidates with such mature production experience.

The reconnaissance and rental of shooting equipment are also easy to handle, and it takes a little time to get up to speed quickly.

But for the actor alone, Wen Ziren had no choice.

Although the major agencies can provide a large number of excellent actors and actresses, the problem is that Wen Ziren is not very familiar with it. He auditioned several times on the spot, but he couldn't find all the characters.

Seeing that the preparatory work of the crew is about to be completed, it can't be because of this delay that the shooting plan is not, so he thought of Lyman.

He has made many movies and has many familiar actors, so he must be able to give some advice.

With this thought in mind, Wen Ziren carefully determined the time difference between the two places, and waited until around eight o'clock in the evening before making a call.

"Lyman, the crew is short of actors, come and help me."

Stop it.Lyman had only this idea, but he rushed over.

Without him, those who I want to support, with tears in their tears and a little trouble, have to do it.

...

"Are you saying that you are still a major actor unsure?"

Wen Ziren nodded eagerly, "As you know, the actors have to match each other. I haven't even decided on the starring role now, and there is no eyebrow for the other actors with heavier roles."

Lyman is also a director. Of course he knows this, but the problem is that he has always had a clearer casting direction in his mind.What a fuck.

In a play, basically all the plots, other characters and even conflicts are centered around the protagonists.

So whether the style and aura of these main actors fit together is very important, and it also determines the sense of hierarchy between other roles that serve them.

The supporting role can play with it, but it can't overpower it.

If the movie is over, the audience’s impression of a supporting role is deeper than that of the starring role, and there is still a sense of presence, which can only mean that the director was blind when choosing someone, or that the movie itself is a bad movie.

Of course, another reason is not ruled out. It doesn't matter what the acting is like.

"This is the first time I have directed and filmed independently. I don't have much experience. I haven't had the opportunity to touch these before. My vision is too narrow. You have filmed so many films, and you know many actors. I'm sorry."

Wen Ziren's posture is extremely low, after all, he himself is very embarrassed.

There is a kind of bragging and slap in the face.

It's just a name, but things are really overwhelming.

No way, it's the first time for a newcomer, Lehman can understand.

Besides, it is impossible for him to ignore it. The money has been invested, so he must hear the sound.

Lehman lowered his head to ponder, and asked, "Then what are your thoughts?"

Wen Ziren hurriedly said: "The two main characters, Adam and Lawrence, trapped in a room, the former is good-looking but cunning, the latter is calm and smart, and there is a policeman and a perverted murderer jigsaw. Other dragon characters All have been found." At the end, he added.

Fortunately, there are only four people, and Wen Ziren also has a spectrum of characters, and it does not seem to be very troublesome.

Lehman took a sip of water, eased his emotions, took the shooting schedule, and said, "I can do it for you."

After a pause, he looked at Wen Ziren again, "However, if I join, you have to change some places."

"You said?"

"Is it possible to blur those bloody shots?"

There are a lot of large-scale scenes in "Chain Saw", but the key is that Wen Ziren's shooting ideas are very naked.It's disgusting enough.

There are many ways to describe the degree of bloody, and Wen Ziren is the most direct one.

Said that this guy is also an extremely sturdy director, and people who have worked with him on the face of him say that he is very shy.

But in his bones and deep in his heart, he looked like a devil with his head.

He always has a strong visual sense of blood, cruelty, torture and fear.

When this kind of shooting concept is presented in a movie without being bound, it can often be more sharp.

Such as "Dead Silence", such as "Latent", such as "Calling the Soul"...

Specifically, it is the weirdness reflected from the depths of my heart.

"No way."

Wen Ziren got angry when he heard it, and repeatedly emphasized: "What I want is the sharpness and authenticity of the lens. This is... this is a way of expression. It can reflect the idea of ​​the film. Thoughts to be conveyed..."

Lehman waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Since I want to get involved, I will definitely restrict it. You don't want this movie to be classified as nc-17 as soon as it is made."

"I..." Wen Ziren opened his mouth, trying to explain, but said nothing.

He is a clever man, and he has mastered the compulsory subject of being a director appropriately.

What's more, what Lehman said is reasonable. If this movie is designated as nc-17 by the approval agency because it is too bloody, the original niche movie "Chain Saw" will reduce the audience even more.

In this way, if the investment was lost, wouldn't his film career be sentenced to death at the beginning?

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Wen Ziren gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to control the use of close-up shots."

Lyman didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Appropriate large-scale lenses can indeed increase the movie-watching interest of these specific groups, but in everything, it is too much to overdo it.

In his opinion, Wen Ziren's early works were a bit stunned and would not be controlled. He only slowly changed after "Dead Silence".

But now, since it has been decided to join the group, it is better to correct it from the beginning.

If you don’t need him, Lehman doesn’t say anything. He likes to shoot and shoot. When editing, you can still check it out. Isn’t it a big deal to make up some scenes? Anyway, there are no characters and scenes in "Chain Saw". It's quite simple to unfold and shoot.

But things have developed to this point, so what's the point?Lehman has always been a relatively strong master, especially when it comes to filming.
