Hollywood legendary director

I, Ryan, is the actual producer of "Chain Saw".

Lehman, he is a fake.

Well, the above are all angry words.

Because Ryan's heart is really angry, it's not that he is angry at Lehman's irresponsibility, but that the director Wen Ziren is too Nyima Lang.

You must know that the production cost of "Chain Saw" is 15 million, and after deducting the cost of the actors, there are more than 8 million.

It has only been less than four days since the shooting started, and the actual shooting progress is not much at all. In the blink of an eye, more than one million yuan was thrown in and disappeared.

This is still because he is there to help reduce expenditure, otherwise he may not decide how much to spend.

It stands to reason that this early filming mainly revolved around a basement as a location. The average director would definitely restore the internal structure through setting and props, and then dim the lights to simulate it.

He didn't want it, saying he didn't feel solid, he really rented a real basement.

Is this...no money?

Therefore, when he saw Lehmann enter the group, the first sentence was not to say hello, but: "You finally came."

In the words, there was a faint complaint.

Lehman was also a little embarrassed. The brothers were helping. He also played for two days and moved into a new home by the way.

"Isn't I too busy."

"Then you can go to the set and have a look."

"Why, what's the matter?" Lehman felt something wrong and asked quickly.

"Just go and see."

Ryan emphasized that, Lehman didn't want to continue chatting, so he could only go to the shooting site to see.

......

"Saw Fright" is the machine that opened at the end of June.

It was also the first time Wen Ziren officially became a director. It was a spirited and tireless.

I can't wait to use it for filming every day except for the necessary toilet and meal.

Of course, the actors would certainly not allow it, and the union would not agree. Although he thought so, he had no conditions to do so.

However, he is still very hardworking, and he himself has to study tomorrow's shooting shots when he goes back at night, often only sleeping for 4 or 5 hours.

It stands to reason that in this way, the progress of the filming should be fast.

It's a pity, but they are all...

When Lehmann entered the set, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

The actors, including the filming team, were in a bad mood, and the whole show was depressed.

This is true even for people who know him.

Hugo Weiwen is looking at the script with his head down; JK Simmons is putting on makeup; Jason Statham is holding his chin and closing his eyes...

There is something wrong, something very wrong.

Of course, Wen Ziren could feel what was wrong with his crew. He was not blind, and the emotions of those people were all written on his face.

But he doesn't know what's wrong with him. He feels that he is working hard, perhaps because the number of shots in the past few days has far exceeded expectations?

Well, if you think so, it means that this guy didn't realize the problem.

In fact, Ryan knew it, but he hadn't dealt with Wen Ziren too much before, and before he joined the group, Lehman asked him to take care of Wen Ziren a little bit, so he didn't remind him.

After all, I really want to say it, it's kind of shocking.

It's quite simple.

Lehman talked to a few actors during the filming and understood.

By the way, isn't the book of "Chain Saw" very simple, and there is no depth at all.

There are also few characters, just one main line and one dark line. Except for the identity reversal of the final jigsaw, it is a bit new, but it is actually that way when you think about it.

It's pale.

The reason for the great success depends on peers, and the rhythm of the film is well grasped, allowing people to see the end with interest.

And Lao Mei really has a large number of market-based bloody cult films, the story is basically qualified, and the results are not much worse.

Several main characters, Lawrence, Adam, Tap...The development of the plot is all based on these characters, so naturally the appearance time is not short.

However, Wen Ziren didn't follow the routine, and he was completely scammed.In the past few days, I have taken a lot of shots and given supporting roles to passersby, and I have to dig out Lawrence's family roles.

Please, who cares about the situation of his family, I have to unfold the things that I have already mentioned.

This is very painful.

Who wants to do useless work, such a hard work, in the end, it has to be cut out when editing.

Is it just playing with people?

Moreover, the shooting team was originally provided by Paramount and Europa. They were all experienced in the industry. Naturally, they were a little dissatisfied with a director who has many ideas like Wen Ziren.But it's not very good. Is it the director after all?

As for the actors, they will certainly be unhappy.

They gave qualified role performances, but were not rewarded.

I stayed in the crew every day, and the filming was completely out of line.

Some even wonder if Wen Ziren was deliberately engaging them in such a filming.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Wen Ziren never thought about it like this.

Of course, Lehman understood him somewhat after knowing the ins and outs of the matter.

Think about it and know that when someone is a director for the first time, isn't it easy to shoot and shoot hi? As for the priority, that is also a common problem for newcomers.

To put it bluntly, I still lack experience.

......

In the evening, after filming was over, Wen Ziren returned to the hotel rented by the crew.

Just about to take a shower, the door rang.

When the door opened, it was Lyman.

He greeted people in the door very enthusiastically and took the initiative to pour coffee.

Lehman took a sip and said, "What are your thoughts on the last shot of today?"

Naturally, he came here so late to "promote the teacher's inquiries." With so many people present during the day, he must protect Wen Ziren.

I was very polite and didn't say anything when shooting.

"Does it increase the character's struggle? Give it a motive to kill."

Well, he took another family scene of Doctor Lawrence today, just when he was about to kill Adam.

"His wife and daughter were threatened by perverted murderers, and he had to do this." Wen Ziren added.

How to put it, the idea is very good, but Nima is just for such a dragon role, the whole movie is estimated to be able to explain clearly the identity of two or three shots, but it took an afternoon of shooting time and wasted film.Why bother?

Of course, that cannot be said.

He is still very optimistic about Wen Ziren, at least, the filming idea is still very clear, not random shooting.

"Have you ever thought about the length of time, and the rhythm of the film?" Lyman looked at him and continued: "You said why such bloody and horrifying movies usually last less than one and a half hours. That's because of the characters. In fact, there is no depth to dig. The audience also loves to watch bloody and violent scenes, which can give them a visual excitement. That's enough. Do you understand?"

"I..." Wen Ziren opened his mouth and said nothing.

Of course he understands this. After all, he was born in a major, and in the director's professional class, there are also instructors who have specifically talked about how to control the rhythm of the film, including setting the big and small climax points, so as to arouse the audience's interest in continuing to watch the movie.

He knows everything.But often when actually shooting, as soon as a new idea pops up in his mind, he can't control himself.

Seeing him like this, Lyman continued to chat with him carefully.

Newcomer, passionate, always want to do everything perfectly.

But the movie must have a prominent main line, there must be primary and secondary, otherwise there must be a major role and a secondary role.

The result of making a mess of a pot of stew and trying to explain everything clearly will often make the film unclear, and the audience will have trouble watching it.

After talking about a big channel, Lehman also gave his opinion-the role can be tapped, but it can't be passed. It is necessary to pay attention to the scale and consider the members of the studio who have worked hard to shoot, right.

Wen Ziren was also a sensible person. After he knew his mistake, he quickly corrected it.

The crew is finally on the right track.
