Legendary Hollywood Director

People's ambitions never suddenly inflate.

In order to find a relationship in the past, Spielberg became familiar with the film industry bigwigs every day for several years; Cameron started his debut from the special effects of the movie. Who would have thought that he could finally erect his own signboard , has been sought after by thousands of fans.

So ah, really speaking, Chris Weitz is even higher than the starting point of these two people. This guy's brother Paul Weitz graduated with a drama major. During his postgraduate studies, he was appreciated by the school tutor. When he became a producer, when Chris entered the industry, he didn't need to look for opportunities at all. His brother asked him to help the TV station write the script.

After accumulating some qualifications, I occasionally played a cameo role in the middle, and I smoothly transitioned to the assistant director and diversity director, enriching myself during filming.

Several works have a solid foundation, and people in the circle will naturally know that there is such a number one person.

Later, the two brothers joined forces, one producer and one director, to make a name for themselves with the American Pie series, constantly accumulating capital, and jointly established a studio to formally participate in the project split.

You see, Chris Weitz has come step by step, which is smoother than 90% of the directors in the circle. When he was enjoying fame and fortune, Lyman did not come.

But in life, sometimes it sucks.

It's hard to go a step further and become one of the few directors who can direct masterpieces. He has overturned.

All kinds of things in the past were buried in an instant.

Do you think he's going to retire sadly? That's not true, it's just that he didn't make progress, and he went backwards, which is cruel to a person like him.

What's more, there are more and more high-budget works these years, and the amount of investment is higher than the other, can he be reassured by the management that he has the ability to direct masterpieces?

Hollywood, many people are more superstitious...

Ryan, there's a director who needs you to meet. Here's his contact information.

The next day, Lehmann, who rushed to the company, asked the production staff to set up a new moon project, and at the same time asked Ryan, who was doing things well, to interview and cooperate with Weiz.

But when Ryan went to the man's house, he found that he was not affected by too many losses of the golden compass at all, but the melancholy between his brows just by chance could not be concealed.

Of course, Chris Weitz himself felt unlucky, and he was even more cautious about the choice of invitations, for fear of being trapped again. If he failed twice in a row, it would be a disaster, which is why he has not done anything recently. reason.

The two met and were polite to each other.

Chris took Ryan to the study, looking very solemn.

After all, Ryan came to ask him to be the director this time, and it just so happened that Chris didn't dare to fight any more uncertain battles.

In other words, he needs more protection for his right to speak in filming, and he can no longer be led away by the management. The scene is too heavy, and the greasy smell overflows the screen. Well, that is also a project produced by Warner.

Both of them have insufficient control over the project, and the latter is even worse. The director's cut sells better than Warner's abridged DVD, which makes no sense.

Ryan didn't think about it so much, and took out the script that had been determined long ago from his briefcase and handed it to the other party.

Chris Weitz took it and flipped it a few times, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Without him, he really never thought that Firefly would invite him to be the director of the sequel to Twilight. This is a subject matter that can drive female audiences crazy, but before that, there was no rumor in the circle.

After reading it carefully, he felt more confident, but the lesson Chris received in the Golden Compass made him suppress his somewhat urgent mood, and asked hesitantly: I can tell why Director Catherine gave up shooting the sequel. ?

Seeing Ryan's strange expression, he changed his words politely, That's right, it's a little sudden.

We didn't agree on the salary issue. Ryan shook his head slightly, I won't talk about her anymore. I'm here to solve this matter. Mr. Weitz, can you set aside the schedule from March to July next year? ? Ryan had heard about Katherine Hardwick's shameless, so of course the director who opened his mouth like this couldn't have no emotion for her. starter

You must have inquired beforehand, I am very busy right now. Chris Weitz laughed at himself first, but said seriously: But I still want to ask your company how much power I have on the set after I become the project director.

Filming and post-production are all up to you.

Chris seemed to be reminded of bad memories, with a bit of sarcasm, Really, your company won't hire a professional editing team?

Since I have said so, I will not hide it. If we are not satisfied with the finished film, we will naturally re-edit or reshoot. We have put a lot of thought into the script, and we must respect the original work. I hope you can understand.

It's too subjective.

But this is the movie, sir. Everyone has their own preferences, and what we can do is to meet the needs of the movie audience, and. Ryan quipped: At least Firefly is a better studio for directors, you You can feel it for yourself.”

Chris's smile is a little reluctant, but he also knows that this is the easiest project to find him recently. The low risk of sequels is recognized.

After all, the first installment of less than 65 million won more than 400 million worldwide, and the sequel naturally has a fan base.

Well, this project moved me.

Then what do you think of the filming of the new moon?

Don't pay attention to the arguments on the Internet. Chris said from the director's perspective: The story of vampires is actually very old-fashioned, but beyond the old-fashioned, this series is about the growth of a group of young men and women. , the themes are positive and not child-friendly like other vampire movies.

In fact, this series does not use vampires as a selling point. I think it focuses more on how the hero and heroine of the story fight against their own destiny.

The Golden Compass lost first, which makes people a little worried about Chris Weitz, but after hearing this, Ryan suddenly realized that this guy has completely grasped the core of creation, namely growth, struggle, romance and love, a girl who belongs to a girl Dream.

How the first part exploded, many people don't necessarily understand, one's imitation of vampires and werewolves is not a special feature of Twilight. In fact, as Chris Weitz said, it focuses too much on magic. Undoubtedly clichéd.

I'll tell Lyman your idea of ​​the shoot, and he'll decide the rest.

Although Chris Weitz felt uncomfortable working under a director younger than himself, but thinking about Lyman's status in the circle, he also wanted to be affirmed. It's an amazing state of mind.
