Hollywood legendary director

The reason "Me, Robot" broke 100 million box office even though it had a chance to seize the opportunity, but its quality is also very good.

The director is looking for Alex Proyas, who has a good record in the Australian director circle.

This guy grew up in Egypt, is a Greek, and then immigrated to Sydney.

Representative works include "The Crow" and "Aurora Pursuit".They are all science fiction movies.

The actor is looking for the popular movie star Will Smith, the old drama player James Cromwell, and the heroine Bridget Moona partner.

It is the story of how humans and machines coexist and whether humans themselves are more trustworthy than machines under the constraints of the three laws and the birth of these highly developed intelligent machines in the future technological era.

Facts have proved that Will Smith's box office appeal is still so strong.

Compare it with the movies starring in Johnny Depp or Toby Maguire, and Will Smith, which have also become popular at the same time. Most of them don't have such high reputation, but the box office momentum is not weak.

Even in the eyes of some people, Johnny Depp and Toby Maguire accounted for the light of the movie subject matter itself."Spider-Man" is even more famous in comics, and a large part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also the glory of the sequel.Of course, the captain does have such charm.

And Will Smith, "Jedi Men", "Independence Day", "Men in Black"...

There are not so many external reasons for each game.

Moreover, "Me, Robot" has done a good job in marketing and publicity.

Although it was a bit rush, I had to admire the action of Twentieth Century Fox, even if it was set in advance, it still won the support of the audience.

The quality of the film is excellent, no competitors fight for the market, relying on these two hands, it is a science fiction film that eats special effects itself, the visual enjoyment is full, the plot is exquisite, the story line is clear, and there is a certain connotation, how can it not be popular.

In this summer file, it is almost a luxury for the audience to see a commercial film with a complete structure and above the standard line in the cinema...

Especially after the ravages of films such as "Van Helsing", "Troy", and "Catwoman", the audience has been longing for good works for a long time.

Of course, there is another important point.

In response to Will Smith’s word of mouth, a series of publicity campaigns were well hyped by the media.

The rapper debuted, the transforming actors have a good box office, and the black film market is booming.

To some extent, Will Smith has caught up with a good era.

In the past, it was a fantasy to have a black actor starring.

Moreover, the African ethnic group really needs to be taken seriously by the market.

According to statistics, the proportion of African-American audiences supporting "Me, Robot" is much higher than that of other commercial films, even if the cumulative box office of "Spider-Man 2" is much higher than that of "Me, Robot", but the African-American audience , "Me, Robot" won.

A bunch of African-American audiences rushed to Will Smith to support the theater.

Of course, good timing is also very important.

I believe that 20th Century Fox will be very grateful for Warner’s cooperation.

......

In early August, the shooting of "Daydreamer" continued.

Iceland Highway One.

The crew station.

The roofs of several makeshift cabins are equipped with lighting equipment, which gives the road in front an orange beauty.

Several rocker arms support the camera, and a camera is also placed along the long track erected on the road.

Thomas is directing the camera crew to find the right perspective for the composition.

"The light is pointed at the wrong position, a little bit to the right, and the brightness is also lowered." Lehman shouted at the person in the lighting group from below.

Kim Carey changed his outfit, holding a speed skating longboard in his hand.

Wait a minute, he will go downhill from the top of a slope on Highway 1.

This period of less than 3 minutes of footage requires the crew to prepare for several days.

Several huge pulley blocks stretched all the way from the house to the side of the road, and the camera hanging on the rocker arm was also ready to be in place.

The lighting team over there adjusted the lights again, and Lehmann felt that it was almost done, so he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Attention from all departments."

While shouting, while waiting for the gestures of the heads of various departments.

After all was clear, Lyman stood back behind the director's camera.

The crew member who served as the scene recorder also stretched out the scene in front of the camera with the scene recorder, "The 76th scene of "Daydreamer", the first scene, action.

Not far away, Kim Carey tied two stones on his palm.

Step on the skateboard and slide down the slope.

To turn or slow down, squat down, place your palms on the ground, and complete your desired movements by the friction of the stones.

In order to practice this well, he has been preparing for several days.

In fact, the speed of skateboarding is not fast and it is not dangerous, but if you practice well, it will be more beautiful.

The camera moves along both sides, and the camera position on the rocker arm shoots the surrounding scenery and the white clouds in the sky.

Later, I look for the plot of the photographer, saying that it is a travel movie and it is more specific.

It is to let the audience follow in the footsteps of Walter Mitty and enjoy many invisible scenes.

Such as whales spouting water, seabirds flying over the sky, volcanoes, hot springs, and even Miaomiao glaciers.

The unparalleled beauty of nature, when placed under the lens, is also so desirable.

In the long shot, Kim Kerry's speed skating posture and the relaxed smile on his face can also tell that he is enjoying it all.

Just as Walter Mitty left the town and went to one after another beautiful sights that could only be imagined, he was enjoying everything on the journey.

In this road scene, the camera moves horizontally in one shot, connected with the blue sky, white clouds, and the leisure when alone.

The use of a wide-angle long lens can make the audience follow the lens and focus slowly, and it can also make the picture more realistic and heavy.

"Crack, next shot."

When the gliding figure of Kim Carey was about to leave the camera's perspective, Lehman decisively called to stop.

After a short break, Kim Kerry continued to step on the skateboard, and the camera moved to a more suitable position to participate in the shooting.

"The 76th scene of "Daydreamer", second mirror, action."

......

Facts have proved that Lehman's vision is not wrong.

Since Kim Carey entered the crew, his performance has made him very satisfied.

Whether it is a serious joke, or a seriousness of restraining emotions, there is always the meaning of a petty citizen.

Especially in fantasy, the control of facial muscles makes people really think that they are immersed in fantasy.

For his vision of casting, Lehman wants to give himself a compliment.

Even when Thomas was taking the shots on site, Lehmann also began to intentionally let him observe more of the shots, which is good for the lens design.

Gradually, slowly infiltrating, I want Thomas to be able to shoot independently...
