Movie Master

Mickey looked at the turbulent crowd in front of him, his eyes full of expectation fell on his body, and the hot temperature could be clearly felt on his skin. He once thought that he would never be able to wait for this day again, but he never thought that all this happened so quickly that he almost couldn't believe it.

Lance is a great director, I can vouch for that; but a great actor? I've always had my doubts about that, and after this shoot, I think I can shut up. Mickey The joke caused another burst of laughter at the scene, For the performance, Lance will put forward many requirements, and at the same time, he will also have many ideas. Before the shooting, Lance gave me a task to conceive the entire movie of Marv himself. Life. In fact, this is not difficult for me. This simple sentence has a profound meaning, and people can't help but think of Mickey's actual situation, and the scene was silent for a while.

However, Mickey has gone through this mental journey, and he can continue to say very calmly, So, in fact, the preparations for the performance have already started before officially entering the crew. After arriving on the crew, Lance and I Had a detailed conversation - I was the one doing the talking most of the time, but he also commented on the script and helped me get a little closer to the character. It was a very new experience for me, obviously not yet I haven't started acting, but I have started to enter the role.

Lance has a keen sense of the characters and the plot. He can always easily awaken our deep resonance with the characters, and then we can complete the performance by ourselves, in our own way. Mickey couldn't help turning his head to look To Lance who stood aside, This is a completely different experience. It seems simple, but in the actual experience process, it is full of struggles. Lance can always find those things that we will never think of again. Remember, it was not a pleasant experience. So, I hate him. I mean it, I hate him. Mickey emphasized his point seriously, If I had another chance, I would refuse to be with him. cooperate.

Lance accepted the criticism calmly, and even nodded his chin slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the evaluation. There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Mickey added with a smile, I think Mr. Tom Cruise should have a deep understanding of this. The scene burst into laughter again, Of course, Bruce, Jessica, and other actors in the crew will have no objections.

Mickey immediately handed the microphone to Bruce, I thought it was not allowed to speak ill of the director on an occasion like today. Bruce's first words easily made the scene a sea of ​​laughter.

Javier was a little surprised. The surprise was not that Mickey, Bruce, and others all praised Lance. On occasions like the premiere, everyone would do their best to save face, even if the relationship was not good, they would whitewash the peace; he was surprised The praises of Mickey, Bruce and others are all real, from the so-called acting interest group of the Murder with a Borrowing Knife crew, to Tom's admiration for Lance, and to the affirmation of the Sin City crew. Everything is telling: Lance's position in the hearts of actors is slowly rising.

In fact, the same is true for Mickey and Bruce, including Tom. They are not full of praise for Lance. On the contrary, they are actually quite critical of the tense atmosphere within the crew and Lance's training methods— —Such a performance in front of the media means a strong inner dissatisfaction, and it is not a joking kind.

But they all chose to swallow their anger in the end, why? If it is said that Tom will not lose his temper easily out of image considerations, neither Mickey nor Bruce has the personality to smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

This shows that even though they were dissatisfied, Lance did suppress them with great strength, making them have to speak out even if they were dissatisfied. Hollywood has never lacked thorns, and Lance may be just one of them; but not all of these thorns have real talents, and those mediocre thorns will only be eliminated by the times and disappear from the public eye, such as Say Macaulay-Culkin (Macaulay-Culkin); and a genius like Marlon Brando who is arrogant and unrestrained, no matter how troublesome he is, people can't refuse him.

So, could Lance be the second Malone? People hate him to the bone and gnash their teeth, but they have to fall in love with him. Only by thoroughly hating him can you avoid falling in love with him. The New York Times once commented on Marlon Brando.

Or, to be more precise, could Lance be the second Warren Beatty? Warren is also one of Hollywood's most famous thorns.

Javier thinks this is a very interesting thing. Hollywood has not seen such a character for a long, long time. It seems that after entering the 1980s, that kind of star with distinctive personality and maverick disappeared. Even grumpy guys like Sean Penn and Al Pacino are pleasing the media and pleasing the audience. The importance of PR image is increasing little by little, especially after the development of the Internet, it seems that everyone gets Without the opportunity to speak, the success of public figures has become more and more difficult.

Someone once said that putting stars like Marlon Brando, Warren Beatty, and James Dean in the 21st century would be difficult to succeed. Even Angelina Zhu Lidu began to try to clean up. So what about Lancelot Strelow?

Lance. After the question circled around the actor, it actually came back to Lance again. As a director, Lance has won more attention than all the actors. In addition to the composition of the picture, I noticed that the use of color and lighting is also very special. This is not the first time you have used this method in your works. You can share with us your different ways of using color and lighting What does that do to the performance of the film's themes?

This is a very professional question, which has gone beyond the scope of the film itself. Lance originally thought that the image style of Sin City was too prominent, and it was easy to overwhelm the guests, causing people to shift their focus. This was the case in the last life. Because of the stylized expression techniques, the story and core of Sin City itself Ignored and reduced to a simple and crude commercial movie; but unexpectedly, this did not happen tonight, the caricatured image that was originally thought to be the focus will become the focus of discussion, but there is no problem at present It is related, and a similar technical problem finally appeared, but the result is still not directly related to the image.

Lance cast his gaze, and then saw a familiar face, Kirk-Honeycutt, a professional film critic from the Film Review magazine.

Film Review is the highest-selling film professional magazine in the United States, with an average sales volume of up to 400,000 copies. Variety Show and Hollywood Reporter are the most authoritative professional magazines in the Hollywood circle, but the scope of influence of these two magazines is more limited to the interior of Hollywood, and almost all of their subscribers come from industry practitioners, including agents and screenwriters , producers, managers, etc.; and for the general audience, film review is a professional representative, which is similar to Rolling Stone in the field of music.

After Borrowing a Knife was released, Lance once accepted an exclusive interview with Kirk. The interview lasted less than 30 minutes, but the two shared many professional views. After that, Movie Review was full of praise for this movie.

This is a very interesting question. I am not a professional. I think it would be more appropriate to leave it to our photographers and lighting engineers to answer. However, in order to prevent the premiere from becoming a technical discussion site, I think it is better to use Let’s answer it in a more popular way.” The words made the audience burst into laughter again, and some people even shouted, “Explain in detail”, Lance laughed dumbly, “This reminds me of the Sundance Film Festival, and then Once. This sentence was said in the direction of Joel Cohen.

From a psychological point of view, color and mood are related, and so is lighting. Therefore, I hope that the language of the lens will be richer. Rather than telling the audience 'what is this' directly, I hope that the audience You can have your own thoughts when watching a movie. Lance explained in simple words as much as possible, For example, if the same color is red, some people think it is bloody, while others think it is passion, or violence, or red. Warm, unrestrained, or depressing... So, when the movie screen presents different colors and lights, the experience it brings to the audience is also different. This is what I hope to achieve. After watching the movie, everyone will feel Have my own personal opinion. Maybe like it, maybe hate it. I'm not sure if I make it, but I'm working on it.

As soon as Lance's words fell, there was another round of applause at the scene, which made Kirk look back at the noisy crowd behind him. This kind of picture that almost only appears at the film festival is really rare for the premiere of a commercial film, and it can even be said to be unusual. But think about it carefully, why is he not like this? After watching the movie, instead of looking back and forgetting it, I want to communicate more with the director and the crew.

Thinking of this, Kirk looked away and applauded Lance again.

In fact, it's not just Kirk who has such an idea. The reporters and film critics who attended the premiere tonight have similar thoughts. Lance once again tried artistic expression in commercial films, and deepened the core of the story, trying to find a balance between business and art.

Murder with Borrowing Knife succeeded, so what about Sin City? The sensation of the premiere was just a prologue, and the good show had just begun.
