rising director

Of course, in order to pursue the feeling, Wan Xiaohu only used high-definition cameras for some shots, and most of them still used film.

Nuke is a digital node-based compositing software developed by The-Foundry.Most movies use Nuke to synthesize images, such as "The Day After Tomorrow", "Xx Agent", "Titanic", "True Lies", "X-Men", "King Kong" and so on.

When the shooting entered May, the first set of oom-n shots were produced by Darius and his team. Through the screening, Wan Xiaohu looked back and forth, and the effect was very good without much picture loss.The connection is seamless.

"Very good, this is what I want, I think Davis, we should get into the actual camera shoot."

"Of course, we've already started the layout, and we'll make sure to get the oom-n shots done before we wrap up."

After solving the camera problem, Wan Xiaohu concentrated more on the role of the actor.

Every day is overtime filming.

In private, he can call the actors brothers and sisters, but when it comes to work, he just doesn't recognize him.

"Hua Zai, this shot is not good. Do it again."

"What's wrong with you, Hua Tsai, you're not in any shape at all."

"Liu Dehua. Are you a pig? You can't even show this expression! Kaka Kaka, do it all over again!"

This is a scene where the police arrived after Wang Jun was shot and Li Xiang called the police and started searching for NT-48 in Wang Jun's room.Wan Xiaohu hoped that Andy Lau could perform mixed emotions such as fear, excitement, agitation and anxiety, but it was obvious that Andy Lau's expression was not up to the mark.

Liu Dehua was a little embarrassed. In terms of age, he was a circle older than Wan Xiaohu. In terms of qualifications, he was also a veteran star in the Chinese film industry. When he joined any film crew, the director had to accommodate him.But when it came to Wan Xiaohu's side, no identity mattered. There were not many Chinese stars who could play tricks in front of Wan Xiaohu.

Besides, Liu Dehua and Wan Xiaohu are good friends in private.

"Director, I think I should be able to do it again."

"Do you have the status, can you guarantee that you can pass next time? Nothing can be guaranteed, so why do you say you can do it! Stop talking nonsense, give you 10 minutes, reflect on it, and think about what to do in the mirror Acting. Shoot on time after 10 minutes, and you are not allowed to eat until the filming is over!"

Wan Xiaohu seemed like a tyrant, he didn't speak any reason at all, and gave the order to die.

He is the only one in the crew who can lose his temper loudly and make trouble for no reason.

Fortunately, he still has a director team, an assistant director who is in charge of the acting requirements of actors, pulled Liu Dehua aside, and started to talk about the play.

Wan Xiaohu threw aside the storyboard script in his hand, and shouted to his assistant: "Call Zhang Yi, shoot her part tomorrow, don't run any more commercials today, give me enough energy, if the filming is not good, she will suffer." when!"

"Ok."

"Further notice, from today onwards, reporters are prohibited from interviewing! It's annoying all day long, it's annoying to death, you all f*ck retreat for me, retreat and filming, show your acting skills 100%, understand!"

Several producers agreed obediently: "Okay, I will notify you now."

"Also, if there is any news from the crew in the future, without my permission, none of it will be released to the outside world, do you know!"

"Know, know."

His temper came and went quickly, after roaring twice, Wan Xiaohu felt his anger began to ease, and picked up the script again.

Start stroke by stroke to study how to display the shot.

In the end, I dawdled until after eleven o'clock in the evening before I called it a day.

Arranging for someone to transport the copy back, Wan Xiaohu walked up to Andy Lau who was taking off her make-up, and patted her: "Hua Zai, let's have a supper tonight, I'll treat you."

0286【This is a secret】

Money can turn ghosts around, the only thing you can't buy is time. As time goes by, the filming of "Never Ending" has also come to an end.Finally on June 6th, "Never Ending" was finished. After the celebration, Wan Xiaohu devoted himself to editing.

And found a Hollywood film soundtrack master Hans Zimmer to do the soundtrack work for the film.

Since this movie will no longer be distributed by major studios, but Sasha Entertainment and Golden Harvest Entertainment will independently undertake the global distribution, so the promotion must be extra hard.Wan Xiaohu was originally very lazy about publicity, and he was unwilling to go to other countries for publicity except China and the United States.

This time, I had to pull myself together, follow the movie all over the world, and participate in talk shows around the world.

The first stop is to confirm participation in this year's 63rd Venice Film Festival. "Never Ending" has been confirmed to be selected as a non-competition screening unit.

This year's Venice Film Festival, Chinese films can be described as a big hit.

"Exile" by Hong Kong director Johnnie To, "Dark Circles" by Taiwan director Tsai Ming-liang, and "The Good Man in Three Gorges" by the third-generation director Jia Zhangke were all shortlisted for the top prize, the Golden Lion Award."Baby Project" directed by Chen Musheng was selected for the Midnight Screening Unit, and "Court on Horseback" directed by Liu Jie will participate in the competition for the Best Film Award in the Horizon Unit.

Jia Zhangke also directed a documentary "East", which became a strong contender for the Best Documentary Award in the Horizon Unit."The Beginning of the Year" by Taiwanese director Zheng Youjie was shortlisted for the "International Film Critics Week" section of the Venice Film Festival.

The "Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang is the same as Wan Xiaohu's "Never Ending".Also selected for out-of-competition screenings.

So a long time ago, Wan Xiaohu, Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke.And Zhang Yuan is coming to receive the award, so let’s get in touch and have a good get-together after arriving in Venice, the city of water.

Of course, before Qichen went to Venice, Wan Xiaohu first started publicity in the United States. The main battlefield of the film has always been North America.On the one hand, the post-production of "Never Ending" was completed at Dragon Warrior Company, and on the other hand, "Kung Fu Panda" is also in the final stage.In a few months, it will be time to start picking the dubs.

Under such circumstances, Wan Xiaohu accepted an interview with Diane Sawyer, the host of "Good Morning America" ​​at the New York Square studio.

Diane Sawyer is a young woman and a typical representative of the American dream. She has grown from a country girl to the head of the American ABC TV station step by step. She was also the White House press assistant during the Nixon era.Assisted in writing Nixon's autobiography after his downfall.

Envy and admiration of many people.

The entire studio was decorated with "Never Ending" posters.On the live broadcast stage are two sofas and a small coffee table, only big enough to hold two cups of water.Several cameras were set up below, and there were more than 100 American young men and women in the audience, all of whom came to participate in the interactive program.

"Good Morning America" ​​is the second most-watched show in the United States in the morning segment, behind NBC's "Today Show."Recently, it surpassed the "Today Show" to become the champion.

The program is divided into news, interviews, entertainment and other sections, most of which are broadcast live.

"Well, well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "Good Morning America". I'm the live host Diane Sawyer. Today's guest is a young director from China who is popular in Hollywood. Wan Xiaohu." Diane sat on the sofa and shouted to the camera dynamically.

The more than 100 young people at the scene immediately burst into cheers.

Wan Xiaohu waved to the camera with the red light flashing on the live broadcast signal: "Hi, I'm Wan Xiaohu."

This interview section is a talk show, which will last for half an hour, and the pace is very fast.

"You came here today, we know again, and your movie is about to be released."

"Obviously yes."

""Never Ending", what is it about, a sci-fi movie that can turn into a superman after taking medicine?"

"Yes."

"Can you give us more details?"

"Well, the protagonist took a very powerful drug, and then turned into a superman in minutes. He punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten. Everything under one meter can be brought down. No one dared to stand in the mortuary. Talk. Except for wearing underwear inside, it is no different from Superman, very powerful." Wan Xiaohu said solemnly.

"Wow, that sounds amazing."

"Otherwise, how can you be the protagonist? In fact, compared with general science fiction films, the protagonist can always save all mankind. This is already very weak. When I was filming, I told the male protagonist that the task of saving the world is given to As a director, you can just help me earn the box office."

"Your division of labor is very clear."
