[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

"By the way." Phillips took out a document and said to her, "You are going to have an interview with the Global Times next week." He combed his hair and said, "They said they would go to the crew to interview you on the spot. .”

"The production team won't accept interviews." Usually it's completely closed.

"Brad agreed, and they will have a sense of proportion." No news that shouldn't be leaked will be revealed.

Claire looked at the title of the contract in her hand and felt a little strange: "Is this the headline interview of the Times?"

Phillips: "Otherwise I won't answer. This is your first interview. By the way, remember to dress up."

The crew is too busy with tasks and time is tight.Claire almost forgot about it.

On this day, she had just finished directing the sound engineer to move the unsuitable camera positions in Group A. When she was sitting on the director's chair with her cap lowered and her arms folded for a rest, people from the Global Times came.

They didn't know whether to disturb her sleep, they looked at each other.The sound engineer next to him looked at the group of people who came to interview with a camera and a microphone and said, "Wait a minute, we stayed with her all night last night." Rinko Kikuchi was not in good condition yesterday, and the scene on the rooftop was difficult. In the end, we had to ng many times, and the free time of the whole crew became very short, so we could only catch up with the progress overnight.

Claire didn't sleep for long, and woke up after a while.Looking at the group of strangers, she suddenly remembered that she forgot about it. After the whole night, her face was a little haggard.

This time it was arranged to interview a female reporter, Lucy.

Seeing the tired Claire, she asked her worriedly, "Is it like this at work every day?" Her daughter was only this old.

When Claire heard her asking, she shrugged nonchalantly: "It's okay, after all, no matter who it is here, director or actor, we always have to seize every opportunity to rest and keep full of energy." Isn't this normal? ?

It is also normal for every crew to take a nap at any time.It’s just because doing these tasks is not as easy as the outside world imagines. Due to the time limit of funding requirements or the quality of the finished film, it is common for them to work overtime, rather than looking for feelings in the romantic and romantic.The work behind the scenes is actually extremely boring and cumbersome. Knowing how to watch movies is not the same thing as knowing how to make movies.For example, you are doing special effects CG, and you like this job. When the protagonist wears the wrong color contact lenses one day, you have to face the computer again day and night, and then do CG for a whole day to repair the various irises of the pupils. .At that time, when you looked at your own eyes carefully in the mirror, you would feel like vomiting, and you no longer had the feeling that eyes are the most beautiful thing.

Lucy realized that she had asked the wrong question. She was an industry insider and knew the normal working conditions of the crew.Seeing Claire, who is as old as his own daughter, had some empathy effects, and he didn't regard her as the director directing the entire crew, which showed his unprofessionalism.

She smiled and thought again, but it's a good thing to do as a greeting.

She praised: "You are amazing."

"It's like this." She looked at her manuscript, which showed the interview process.

Lucy: "I'll ask you a few questions and take a few pictures.

She raised her head to look at her: "Because of the famous work "Inhuman", I heard that now the public likes to call you Little Hitchcock, what do you think?"

"I think Hitchcock is my learning object, because his lens art is really good. For a while, I actually turned his "rope" over and over a hundred times, just to keep applying his camera movement." Claire shrugged.Hitchcock's sense of using the lens is almost unmatched, and countless directors later took pride in being able to imitate his sex.

Lucy: "After Frida finished filming, they all said that there was a shadow of Roman Polanski. They all thought you would continue to follow the path of art, why are you making commercial films now?"

Many people have witnessed Claire's experience along the way.

The success of "Frida" silenced those who still had some doubts about her.Excellent techniques, deep soul expression, they are not blind, they can see that she has already surpassed the ability of many people in this industry.

But many people who were jealous of her rapid rise also began to bad-mouth the director of literary films: "Paramount hired a director of literary films to shoot Ghost in the Shell. Even if it’s small, it’s rumored in small circles that it won’t pay much. But Paramount invested more than [-] million yuan and insisted on making it a commercial film. Is Paramount blind?”

Many people also like her literature and art very much.But she should be an art director, preferably a director who has been literary and artistic like Sofia Coppola.

Therefore, she took over commercial films, which made many people dissatisfied, because where can commercial films have connotations? A masterpiece like "Ghost in the Shell" will definitely cut out the content in order to cater to the general taste of the public, making it boring and vulgar.As for Claire who took this one, they felt that her aura would be stifled like "Ghost in the Shell".

It's not a good thing to focus on business, and make some popcorn movies that please the majority of the audience under the hands of the producers.This is unbearable for someone who has great expectations of her.

She's fallen, she's lost in Hollywood's money drive.This makes people have to sigh.

Just like Will Johnson, who kept quiet about Claire due to the constant praise of "Frida" during this period, he also talked about this issue. He strongly satirized the influence of Hollywood on people, "Money blinds people's eyes , look at the salary she can get for one film, 1000 million US dollars, and the third film, tens of millions of dollars!" It is not known how much sourness is mixed in.

After thinking about what Lucy meant, Claire asked her back, "Do you think this is a popcorn movie?"

Lucy didn't expect to get such an answer, and was taken aback: "Isn't it?"

Claire shook her head and smiled.The sound engineer next to him passed by and just heard this sentence.He was very unhappy, but then he smiled mysteriously and said to Lucy:

"It will absolutely blow your mind."

"Awesome!"
