Hollywood legendary director

It's another day.

Nolan got up from the bed early in the morning, cleaned up and started to work.

He is a very rational director.

The producers who have worked with him are very impressed that he does not use funds indiscriminately because of his rational planning.

He has always considered the work he will shoot in a comprehensive manner.

So many people call him an "accountant".

He also really likes to concentrate on one thing for a certain period of time.

In the future, "Empire" magazine asked a very interesting question, and then found a group of Hollywood directors to ask questions. The magazine probably felt that the director’s job had an ambiguous connection with arithmetic, and wanted to know if it was the director’s mathematical calculation. The abilities are outstanding.

As a result, many directors' answers slapped the magazine in the face, all of them like to disassociate themselves from the numbers.

George Clooney said, my math is very bad.

Spielberg also said that when I was in school, I always got a D in mathematics.

Li Zheng also replied that compared to accounting, filming is really a piece of cake.

Only Nolan answered this question seriously.

He said that in the process of making a movie, the planning of the filming and even the expenditure of the budget requires you to be sensitive to numbers. Otherwise, you will find that the shooting budget will easily disappear in the shooting process. In, and your movie has not been finished according to the regulations.Well, the master here is Cameron, he always doesn't have enough budget.

If anyone has counted Nolan’s director’s career investment ratio return, he will find that he is definitely not an adventurous person.

His shooting is very purposeful and full of calculation results. From "Follow" to "Dunkirk" of later generations, his investment budget and total box office can be brought into a relatively safe formula, smoothly answering the safety s answer.

From him, there is no news of a fiasco at the box office.

Even if he is successful, the film crew is happy to allocate a lot of money, and he rarely exceeds his budget.

for example.

After the Batman trilogy, Paramount asked him to film "Interstellar", and after the filming, he saved a large budget for Paramount.

Obviously, he doesn't like doing things outside of the plan, and he is not the kind of self-conscious film director who cries with investors about insufficient funds and wants to shoot freely.

It’s okay to make a movie according to your own heart, but after finishing a work, you leave without paying attention to the market and making no compromises. Not only does it prevent the capital from making money, but it also makes people lose money.This is certainly not a qualified director.

How to coordinate everything between creators, audiences, and investors also requires calculation.

He is like a commercial artist, selling the most suitable paintings and reaping the most appropriate results.

Just like he always likes to wear a very formal suit.

Someone asked him why he always dressed up like this.

He said, I am used to wearing uniforms, so matching is suitable, convenient and fast.

It is probably this kind of thinking that makes him like to arrange the figures and data of the works properly.

Probably, he will never become a businessman director who can exchange a huge box office for a very small cost; nor is he an artist who makes his investors lose money.

In between the two, he said, “I don’t know if others have the same experience as me, but for me, I paid for myself when I was following. When it comes to spending other people’s money to make a movie, I only learned one thing, control. It’s like learning to swim. It doesn’t matter whether the water is two feet or two hundred feet deep. The key is whether you swim ashore or drown. ."

This is based on the balance between the market and creation, and when the investors are satisfied, they pursue their own creative ideas.

So even if he is thinking about the scenes of the script, he is used to the coherence of the scenes.

In a small room in summer, the windows are open, letting in light.

The sun today is not as big as yesterday, but it is still warm.

"call......"

He drew a draft and classified it according to the scene.

Before I knew it, there was already a thick pile.

This week’s sub-camera creations are all here.

The character line is actually very simple, and the more prominent is the color.

A child was surrounded by thick darkness. He fell into a pothole, and the wanton and flamboyant bat was startled, howling and flying...

This is the opening scene of a scene, and it is also where the turning point begins.

After drawing this draft, check the time.

Nolan collected the storyboard, put on leather shoes, and went straight to Firefly Pictures.

The preparations for "Batman" still need to be established.

"Let's first establish the lens style of the movie."

In the huge conference room, Warner's people, Lehman's people, and his own confidants were all seated.

Nolan stood up, took out the prepared storyboard and pasted it on the board.

"Om."

In an instant, there was an agitation in the house.

Everyone knows the goods, and so are the people at Warner.

The one-meter-long and half-meter-wide drawing board has a very strong style on it.

The main color is still dark, and the richness seems to overflow, but the character inside is a man wearing a bat suit.

He watched another crime happen in the night.

At this time, it doesn't give people the feeling of irritation or overburdening sense of justice, but rather a sense of mourning for their misfortune and anger.

Suffering in the dark, firm in silence.

"..."

Everyone's attention was attracted. Obviously because of the face mask, he couldn't see the man's facial features, but he seemed to be watching all this with a pair of eyes, watching Gotham gradually go toward destruction.

This feeling is extremely clear, with the visual impact of the painting's concreteness, unreservedly presented in front of everyone.

The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway.

This undoubtedly inherited the comic style of "The Dark Knight Returns".

But it is more classical and realistic style treatment.

Nolan went on to say: "This is the overall tone of the work, especially the dark night scenes. How to achieve a dark wind and prevent the audience from visual fatigue is the first thing that the light and camera crew must solve."

For a film, the imaging effect must be understood by all departments.

What Nolan wants is to integrate his realistic style based on comics.

The people at Warner nodded first.

They have all read the comics, or several times, and they all agree with the lens visual experience presented by this drawing.

"Well."

Lehman knocked on the table and said: "The camera crew will come up with a specific lens plan as soon as possible."

"No problem." The head of the camera crew stood up and replied.

Afterwards, everyone left the meeting room and continued to work on their own affairs.

But the atmosphere is different.

The crew obviously had some changes in attitude towards the director Nolan.
