Director’s Legend

"I think very clearly. Huang Bo, just concentrate on making your movie. "No Man's Land" is done. I also expect your Lao Ning to set off another box office miracle and make a lot of money. Well, you Don't worry, I understand everything."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun raised his wrist to check the time. It was already past six in the afternoon. The phone calls have been constant over the past two days, regardless of whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, they will come to ask about the situation.

Just about to get up to eat, another phone call came from Liu Yifei.

"Hey, A Jun, this is Liu Yifei."

Shao Shuaijun sat down again and said with a smile: "Hello, Liu Yifei, how is the filming of "The King of Kung Fu"?"

"It's almost finished, are you okay?"

"of course."

"I watched the news, do you want to make a blockbuster again? You have to think clearly, there is a big risk in making a blockbuster, although I definitely believe that you are the most powerful director. But now shouldn't you make some small-cost movies first? The "33 Days of Broken Relationship" that you filmed is very good. The cost of this kind of romance film is low, and it has a great market prospect if it is filmed well..."

"But now I really want to make a big-cost movie. "Inception" is the script I decided for a long time."

"I still think that you shouldn't shoot big productions now, A Jun, you have to think clearly, you are not big now, still young. Do you have to rush to prove yourself? I... many people do Believe that you are the best director."

"Thank you for your opinion and trust." Shao Shuaijun pursed his mouth and smiled, "I will consider it seriously. Liu Yifei, I wish you all the best in filming."

Putting down the phone, Shao Shuaijun shook his head mockingly.

No one believes he will succeed, and friends are also persuading him.

It seems that a movie shatters all the halo that covers oneself. Shao Shuaijun could feel their care, but he couldn't accept it. He wanted to shout loudly and tell the world that "Inception" would surprise everyone. Let him return to the ranks of world directors.

unfortunately. He couldn't say it, even if he said it, no one believed it.

"We are like living in two worlds. You never know what I want, and I will never realize what you think." Shao Shuaijun said to himself. "The only one who understands me. There is only one woman. My sister Xiuxiu!"

Grabbing the phone, Shao Shuaijun called: "Hey, Sister Xiuxiu. Get off work quickly, I just reserved a seat in the Cheryl restaurant..."

...

On July 29, 2007, it carried the bad news of the media, the worries of relatives and friends, the curses of some people, and their own desires. Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States to prepare the crew of Inception.

This time without the participation of more investors, Shao Shuaijun chose the crew members more calmly. Shao Shuaijun is the director and will also be the producer and producer of Inception. Wang Wei, who has a good cooperation, has recently been promoted to the general manager of Dreaming Film and Television Company, and she will also be a producer. Summit Entertainment's business in the United States is generalized. General Manager Mitchell Bruce wastes a lot of time. As a local snake in Hollywood, he was naturally selected by Shao Shuaijun as the producer.

The photographer's assistant Hatton Barry, who worked with "Nightman", showed outstanding talent in the imax camera. This time he was corrected by Shao Shuaijun and became a genuine photographer. Of course, he is only a member of the photographer team, but he alone cannot control this big production.

Huang Yuetai, who cooperated well in "Painted Skin", was also selected by Shao Shuaijun as the photographer of the crew. Huang Yuetai is very popular with Shao Shuaijun in terms of picture and light perception.

Martial arts director Dong Wei, following "Painted Skin" and "The Night Watcher", was once again called by Shao Shuaijun to act as the action director of the movie. Following the filming of "The Big Bang Theory" Gao Zhisheng was also brought to the director team by Shao Shuaijun as an assistant director.

Basically, before Shao Shuaijun came to the United States to make preparations, these candidates have been determined.

When he arrived in the United States, Shao Shuaijun had no intention of socializing and socializing, and he went directly to work. Although I don't know how long it will take to film "Inception", his plan is to be able to complete the release one year ago and participate in the Christmas cake. If not, then postpone it to the summer vacation next year.

Therefore, the time is relatively short.

After a day of jet lag, on the third day, Shao Shuaijun gathered the present few people together and held a meeting.

"You have seen the script of "Inception", so I won't talk nonsense. This is a dream-structured movie. There will be many scenes that cannot be directly shot, such as the house spinning, the train driving into the street, the snow mountain collapse , The flood smashed the castle and so on."

In the conference room, Shao Shuaijun wrote and drew on the whiteboard: "This is not the kind of movie with a fantasy color. I have a complete set up. This is science fiction. Therefore, the picture I pursue must be true and effective, and full of shock. Yes. Except for some shots, I have to use film to increase the quality of the picture. Mitchell, you are familiar with Hollywood. Which photographers are good at shooting special effects shots for real-life props. Recommend me?"

Mitchell thought for a while: "There are many, but after reading the script, I think the film’s use of light is very important. It just so happens that I know two photographers. They are Bob Adams and David who filmed Spider-Man. Oul, they have done a lot of research on the exposure of film and the light distribution of photography. I think he can do what you want."

"Contact them as soon as possible." Shao Shuaijun nodded and continued to analyze, "Photography, we wait for the photography crew to be ready, and we will have another meeting to coordinate the shooting. Now, we still need a large number of prop artists, which is very urgent. Sister Wang and He Mitchell, whether it's Chinese or American, I want the top props artist!"

In "Inception of Dreams" designed by Shao Shuaijun, the requirements for props are very demanding, because the shooting is a dream world, and many shots that violate physics are used. Take a shot designed in a hotel, to shoot a real sense of weightlessness, and to have actors standing on the roof to fight, all of which need to be done with props.

Special effects can be done, but there is never a real prop to make it more perfect.

"Don't worry, as long as you have money, you can do anything in Hollywood. But, shall we discuss the issue of selection?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "Yes, there are about six big scenes in the movie. The beginning is set in the magic city, and we also need to build a palace on Chongming Island. Then there are the blasting of the streets of cafes in Paris, the folding of buildings, and the mirroring of the bridge. The hotel battle in London and the street train in Los Angeles. Then we need to shoot in Tangier, Morocco, and a snow mountain."

"This is a complicated project."

"So now we have to fix the members of the crew first, then arrange them one by one and divide the work. In addition, we need film to increase the sense of the picture, and we also need special effects to participate. The project is huge, and realism is needed. My idea is to convene. The special effects company participates in the production of the film throughout the process."

"This is easy to handle, we can send invitations now." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
