Legendary Hollywood Director

The reason why "I, Robot" broke 100 million at the box office is that even if there is a bonus to seize the opportunity, its quality is also very good.

The director was looking for Alex Proyas, who has achieved good results in the Australian director circle.

This guy grew up in Egypt and is Greek before immigrating to Sydney.

Representative works include "The Crow" and "Aurora Pursuit". It's all science fiction movies.

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

It tells the story of how humans and machines can coexist after the birth of these highly developed intelligent machines under the constraints of the three principles in the future of science and technology, and whether humans themselves are more trustworthy than machines.

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

Comparing the movies starring Johnny Depp or Tobey Maguire and Will Smith, who started to become popular at the same time, most of the movies are not so well-known, but the box office momentum is not weak.

Even in the eyes of some people, Johnny Depp and Tobey Maguire are taking up the light of the film theme itself. "Spider-Man" is even more famous for comics, and a large part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is the glory of the sequel. Of course, the captain does have such charisma.

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

There are not so many external reasons for one game and one game.

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

Although it was a bit rushed, I had to admire 20th Century Fox's action, even if it was scheduled in advance, it still won the support of the audience.

The quality of the film is excellent, and there are no competitors to compete for the market. With these two hands, it is a sci-fi film with special effects. The visual enjoyment is full, the plot unfolds delicately, the story line is clear, and there is a certain connotation. How can it not be popular.

This summer, 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 destruction of "Van Helsing", "Troy", "Catwoman" and other films, the audience has been eager for good works for a long time.

Of course, there is another important point.

In response to Will Smith's reputation, a series of publicity was well hyped by the media.

The debut of rappers, the good box office of transformed actors, and the growing black film market.

In a way, Will Smith has caught up with a good time.

In the past, it was a fantasy to have a black actor in the lead role.

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

According to statistics, the proportion of African-American audiences supporting "I, 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 "I, Robot", but the African-American audience is one piece. , or "I, Robot" wins.

A group of African-American audience members rushed to the theater to support Will Smith.

Of course, good timing is also important.

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

In early August, the filming of Daydream continued.

Highway 1 in Iceland.

Theater station.

The roofs of several temporary log cabins are equipped with lighting equipment, which illuminates the road ahead with an orange aesthetic.

Several jibs support the camera, and a long track along the road also houses a camera.

Thomas is directing the camera crew to find the right composition angle.

"The light is not aimed at the right position. It's a little bit to the right, and the brightness is also turned down." Lyman shouted at the people in the lighting group below.

Jim Carrey came out dressed up with a speed skating longboard in his hand.

Wait a minute, he's going downhill on a skateboard from the top of a hill on Highway 1.

This scene is only less than 3 minutes, but it takes several days for the crew to prepare.

Several huge pulley blocks stretched from the house to the roadside, and the cameras hanging from the jibs were ready to be in place.

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

While shouting, he waited for the gestures of the heads of each department.

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

The crew who acted as the screenwriter also held the screenboard and stretched out to the camera, "The 76th scene of "Daydream", the first scene."

Not far away, Jim Carrey tied two stones to his palm.

Get on the skateboard and slide down the slope.

To turn, or slow down, squat down, put your palms on the ground, and use the friction of the stone to complete the action you want.

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

In fact, the speed of skateboarding is not fast and there is no danger, but if you practice well, it will be more beautiful.

The camera moves along both sides, and the camera on the rocker is for shooting the surrounding scenery and the white clouds in the sky.

Looking for the photographer's story later, it is said 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 appreciate a lot of wonderful scenes that cannot be seen.

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

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

In the long shot, Jim Carrey'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 town for one beautiful spot after another that could only be imagined, he was enjoying the journey.

In this road scene, the lateral movement of the camera lens is related to the blue sky and white clouds~www.readwn.com~ the leisurely time when one is 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 heavier.

"Crack, next mirror."

When the gliding figure of Jim Carrey was about to leave the camera's perspective, Lyman decisively called to stop.

After a short rest, Jim Carrey continued to step on the skateboard, and the camera moved to a more suitable position to participate in the shooting.

"Daydreamer, Scene 76, Second Shot."

......

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

Jim Carrey has been very satisfied with his performance since he joined the crew.

Whether it's a serious joke or a serious temperament, there is always the meaning of a petty citizen.

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

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

Even when Thomas was filming on set, Lehmann began to intentionally let him observe more of the filming, what benefits it would have for the design of the lens.

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