Legendary Hollywood Director

The filming of Monster in the Lake did not launch a press conference with much fanfare, but started quietly.

After all, sometimes the media attention is too high, and it is not very beneficial to be disturbed by secret filming. Besides, there is no need to take the initiative to seduce the paparazzi when the crew has location scenes.

As for the filming of Monster in the Lake, if the special effects are removed, it is still very simple. From the perspective of the plot, it is a very standard Hollywood monster type film.

The original director Feng Junhao said in an interview that his script concept was a Hollywood-style commercial product.

That is, the three-stage design method that many people often say.

From the beginning of the quiet years, to the initial crisis outbreak, affecting life, threatening life, and finally the protagonist overcomes difficulties and completes redemption.

Putting these three-stage rhythm controls into any mature Hollywood commercial film can actually find a similar shadow, or a similar industrialization process, which has formed a standard.

Of course, this does not mean that it is very mature, and it will definitely succeed. It just means that this kind of mature means that the risk of shooting can be reduced very low, but whether it is a hit or not is related to the audience's support, the editing of the film and the publicity. It matters, that's another story.

However, Monster of the Han River has undoubtedly learned the essence of Hollywood in its handling of rhythm, and it is very skillful.

This is also the main reason why Lehmann chose to shoot this film in a different shell, and it can also solve the further development of the special effects market share in the digital field.

Of course, the price of maturity is that the plot of this movie is very simple, and you can almost guess the development of the process. There is the question of the difference in the tastes of the audience between the East and the West. It is also a secret weapon for Hollywood movies to be popular around the world - to minimize geo-culture, no matter which country the audience sees it, they can accept the story inside, because the story has no value, If you don't discuss, if you don't discuss, naturally there will be no estrangement.

It's like everyone discussing the worldview of Marvel movies. In fact, even if you don't understand it, it doesn't hinder the viewing experience. It's cool and cool.

Moreover, Firefly Pictures is very short of cash now, and this film with little investment and potential for a big explosion is the most comprehensive and suitable choice.

It is not very difficult to win the high box office.

May 4th, the first day of official shooting.

In a set-up studio, the first thing to shoot is the family scene of the male protagonist in the Quiet Years part, that is, the indoor scene.

The identities of several characters are also very common in the image of middle-income families in the United States - the male protagonist, a deliveryman in his 30s who has experienced several relationships but has not married yet, runs around every day; his father, a retired home, likes to drink, There is also a confused old man who is developing in the direction of Alzheimer's; his mother is divorced; then there is a younger sister who is in a rebellious period and aspires to become a big star, arguing that she does not want to study to go to Hollywood, and is suppressed by her brother; The second brother, played by Paul Bettany, has nothing to do all day, and he starts to eat old when he is just out of society...

The images of several characters are very distinct, and the scenes in these scenes are also warm and a little noisy. They are very daily parts. No matter which way you shoot,

There is no problem, and it is simple. When it comes to shooting, it is very fast and smooth.

In the house, the family was watching a football game, and the two brothers started bickering again, one asked to find a job, the other hesitantly refused, talking and talking, the topic turned to the support of the two teams. problem, while the younger sister fanned the flames, and the quarrel expanded rapidly. Father is still intoxicated by the temptation of alcohol.

After arguing for a while, when the real PK was about to stage a hand-to-hand battle, my father suddenly proposed to go for a picnic. It happened that two days after tomorrow, the eldest brother had a work break and went out to play together.

The father said with emotion: I remember the last time I had a picnic seven years ago, when your mother was still there.

After the little sister listened, she rolled her eyes as she looked at her father who was a little drunk and started talking nonsense.

Crack.

After the scene was filmed, Lyman called for a pause, neither saying yes nor no, do it again, but sat behind the director's monitor with a slight frown and thought.

The performance of several actors is actually not flawed. The tone and body of the actors are very natural when they read the lines, but after seeing the image, they feel that something is not right.

It's not a problem with the lighting either. After reading through the storyboards carefully, it was indeed done according to his requirements, Lehmann thought.

After calling out the camera screen and checking it back and forth several times, Lehmann was thoughtful.

is the seat.

The space for the shots is too dense, so it is easy to highlight a single actor, that is, to make the stage bigger. The most commonly used close-up of characters is close-up. Too deliberate.

Wanting to understand this, Ryman immediately said: Thomas, camera number 1 goes back a bit, and needs a medium shot.

Over there, Thomas made an ok gesture and backed away before rearranging his seat.

It is no longer a single person imaging, but a group into the mirror.

Lyman stared at the frame of the camera feedback from the monitor and nodded in satisfaction.

Okay, everyone get ready, let's shoot the scene just now.

After 5 minutes, the actors re-positioned, the scene recorder came forward to record the scene, and the shooting started again.

Lyman stared at the performance of the few people on the monitor, secretly comparing this shot with the one just completed, and it really coordinated a lot.

Of course, this section is mainly to explain the images of several characters and express family relationships, and also to pave the way for the following plot. On the day of the picnic, the male protagonist saw a strange dark shadow in Lake Michigan again, and then remembered what happened a few days ago. , knowing that it wasn't dazzling on the way to the delivery that day, but that there was indeed something in Lake Michigan that had never been seen before...

Although it is only a foreshadowing, Lehman does not want to be sloppy, and if he finds something that is not good enough, he will ask to start over.

It's not that they are demanding, but that this kind of unserious attitude is always perfunctory when it comes to filming, how can you please the audience and hope for their support?

In many cases, how the director treats the audience, the audience will treat the works directed by the director.

Don't take anyone for a fool, everyone has eyes to see, both want to fool and want to sell at the box office, how is it possible...
