Hollywood legendary director

Britain, Pinewood production base, one of the locations where "Captain America" ​​went out.

In the room, the Russell brothers looked at the shooting plan while looking at Kevin Fitch with some expectation.

Since the film was approved, they didn't have much right to speak.

The actors are set by the management, and most of the filming teams are built by the investors' internal production staff and labor unions. People are always concerned about what to eat, where to sleep, how to shoot, and what the effect is.

On the one hand, the reason for this is human factors, and on the other hand, it is really uneasy.

As mentioned in the previous article, the Russell brothers are now making a TV series, and they have not filmed a few, and the film projects have all failed. They have pitted several small production companies, which also made them hard to get tough.

As for Kevin, the weaker the director, the stronger he is, so this passivity is obvious.

Fortunately, the Russell brothers have good personalities. Even if they are used as shooting machines by the crew, they have no grievances in their hearts. They are even very lucky that they have got this kind of opportunity. Other than that, even if they are tool people, "The Beauty Team" is thorough There are not many first-line productions in Hollywood that can direct a crew of this size.

Of course, the more "rules" the two are and the more serious they are to complete the affairs at hand, the more Kevin likes the two of them, but the relationship is maintained well.

"Do you want to add drama?" Kevin raised his head and took off the cigarette from his mouth. "Tell me your opinion?"

"I think during training, you can spend a minute or two in a scene where you get the flag, so that you can use the scene to show the smell of Steve Rogers's game, which is different from ordinary people."

Kevin thought for a while, felt that it made sense, was thinking about the role, didn't play any art or deep interpretation, so he nodded and agreed.

Although he doesn't like products that deviate from the plan, he doesn't allow any changes in the scene. If he thinks that some small details are useful, then he can listen to it-this is the original director Joe Zhuangs Dunn complained to a media person in an interview.

This product is much more qualified than the Russell brothers. He is a special effects artist and has directed Disney Pictures’ blockbuster movie "Dear, I Make the Child Smaller", which also made him the first film to be directed. A director who has created a box office record of more than 100 million dollars.

His works also include "Rocket Expert", "Game of the Brave", "October Sky", "Jurassic Park 3", "Desperate Wind" and "Wolfman", so I didn’t get along with Kevin on the set. Okay, but because I signed the contract, I fell out after gritted my teeth and became a tool man.

He himself laughed at himself that he had a lot of inspiration for shooting, but only one or two were agreed, and they were all shots that were irrelevant to the general direction... This also shows that Marvel has a good knowledge of his own projects and integrated them in advance. Taking into account the surrounding copyright, audience needs and market direction (compared to DC), if you ignore the small mistake of being too cautious in setting the plot, but still stepping on the pit, Kevin is absolutely competent.

Outside the room, Evans was putting on a slightly tight uniform with the help of several staff members.

The difference from the original version is that there are not so many bells and whistles. In addition to retaining the unique symbols of the US team, the overall color is blue and red. The helmet is an extra special combat equipment with a little pattern. It looks very sassy. Take the star shield and build a strong body.

He was 184 pounds before the performance, then he gained 200 pounds and maintained his posture carefully. It is certain that he has never been thin.

The amazing body-changing technique in the movie is actually the digital field replacing the head with special effects, just like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", the technical principle is not difficult.

First of all, the team dispatched by the digital field found an actor, LeanderDeeny (a stand-in for Chris Evans, a British Shakespearean actor), who has a good ability to imitate.

Then, for all the small and thin scenes, after Evans completed each performance, LeanderDeeny perfectly imitated all the movements once again, so other actors and photographers also had to repeat it and record the material.

Finally, use the "digital skin grafting component" to process muscles, make the face smaller, render the model, and then rebuild a thin version of Evans with a doll.

Moreover, Evans himself has a very correct professional attitude and maintains a good relationship with the crew.

Taking this drama actually means binding to the role, and the public image must be taken care of. Advertisers, stakeholders and Marvel will all be the shackles on him.

Of course, the benefits that follow are popularity, publicity exposure, and salary. What you get is what you should pay.

After the lunch break, several staff members began to distribute food.

The food created by the main creator is slightly better and more refined, but unfortunately he missed Evans.

His dietitian has specially developed a recipe for him after fitness. For noon, he should eat salad, bacon, chicken breast and dry oats, egg white mixed with olive oil.

So he can only watch the staff around him eating pizza, grilling chicken, drinking happy water, and even Liv’s tuna salad is better than him.

Strictly speaking, the entire crew, apart from the management team, Evans and Liv are the biggest names, but the two are not close, except for the emotional needs of filming, the two basically don't have much contact.

In fact, most of the actors in Hollywood have poor interpersonal relationships. Only peers understand their peers. Even if there is not much room for competition between actors and actresses, there are not many people in the industry who persist in partnership for a long time.

After eating for a while, Kevin walked over and opened a small meeting for the initiative.

It's nothing, just notify a few news.

One is that the filming of the British scene is about to be finished, and when it's over, it must be transferred to France;

Second, before leaving, the crew made an appointment with several media newspapers in the UK to take a few sets of stills for interviews.

After Balabala finished speaking, he slipped away.

The propaganda for this play has never stopped, but most of them have released some soft news, and the momentum is very small. After all, it is not yet the time to really launch a large-scale campaign.

Provide materials, stills, etc., that can attract the attention of iron fans. Just make an impression first, and I didn't expect much attention.

These are trivial matters, but when gathered together, they are also a boost.

Furthermore, the filming of "Captain America" ​​didn't have any major trouble, and it was able to finish before the expected plan.

Counting the days, it will be completed in mid-December, and the later period will probably take 3 or 4 months. The schedule will definitely not be missed.

The same is true for "Thor", but it ranks behind and has more time.

Because the announcement of these two films was the same as that of Iron Man and Hulk, only less than 7 weeks had passed between them, and they happened to be screened.

There are many benefits of doing this. Interesting parties who enjoy the sweetness agree with it. Nothing else, the popularity is easy to accumulate and continue.

In a blink of an eye, a few days later, "District Nine" is here...
