Disaster Artist

The latest website: "We look forward to seeing director Lu Qian again inject a quality into the film, creating a character similar to Artest's complex layers and vivid image, firmly pressing the audience to the seat."

"Of course, the suspenseful element is also the highlight of Director Lu Qian's best. It would be even better if it could replicate the horror and excitement in the movie directed by Xi Xuede. The audience is looking forward to a big reversal in the ending."

With the development of Wei Sheng's new words, the positioning of Liuguang Films' "disappearing lover" gradually became clear——

I'm afraid, what they are asking for is not just a suspenseful thriller movie, but a big hit movie with the energy of "the focus of the hot search list with millions of traffic", otherwise Wei Shengxin would not have emphasized the reversal of the ending many times before and after.

For the popularity of the topic, what could attract more traffic than "The Ending God Reversal"?

Lu Qian can even imagine how different social networking platforms will promote the film:

"Epic Reversal", "The Ending of Shocked Chin", "I never imagined it would be like this...", "A movie made Lu Qian go to the altar", "The Biggest Reversal of the Year", "Green Bamboo" Haven't you watched the masterpiece of 9.3?", "It's too late if you don't watch it"...

And so on and so forth.

Obviously, the whole film is based on dog blood, reversal, drama, and femme fatale, but it is definitely not about marriage or human nature.

Look, the same original book can interpret different development directions, which also shows the roles played by producers and directors.

However, Lu Qian did not rush to refute, but raised his jaw slightly, showing a meaningful expression, as if thinking about Wei Shengxin's words.

However, Wei Shengxin's words were not long——

Production and creation are not Wei Shengxin's strengths. The words go around in circles, but there is nothing new or professional. He repeatedly emphasizes "reversal", repeating dryly how shocking and unexpected. how nice.

Lu Qian felt that if Wei Shengxin was the producer of "Gone Lover", he would never have any interest in the movie anyway.

Lu Qian didn't speak, but Ji Xu noticed Wei Shengxin's embarrassment that he was about to run out of words, so he intervened in the conversation just right, and continued the conversation.

"So, what are your thoughts on the two leading actors?"

If we are talking about superhero movies, Ji Xu can definitely help more. After all, it is a big production, and it is very necessary as a producer to control the overall situation; but now that we are discussing "Gone Lover", the situation is slightly different.

Ji Xu has read the script adapted by Lu Qian, and he knows Lu Qian's intentions and ideas, so he knows what questions to ask to help Lu Qian think.

Ji Xu did not discuss the production pattern of the film, but raised a question about the positioning and style of the film itself, leading Wei Shengxin to say more information.

Wei Shengxin was a little surprised, but Ji Xu, who had been silent for a long time, actually spoke up.

However, Ji Xu seemed very calm and met Wei Shengxin's gaze, "We all know that for such a work, the casting of actors is very important."

Wei Shengxin hesitated for a moment: Does he need to continue ignoring Ji Xu's existence?

If he pretended not to hear Ji Xu's words at this time, then he would be able to clearly state his position, and then teach Ji Xu and Lu Qian a lesson and tell them who is the boss who has the initiative.

but……

How will Lu Qian react?

Wei Shengxin was not sure.

Thoughts flashed by, and then Wei Shengxin spoke up.

"Obviously, the heroine is Dong Ruixian, and for the male lead, we are considering Tao Ran."

While speaking, Wei Shengxin quietly observed Lu Qian's expression:

They all knew what the name "Tao Ran" had meant in the past few months, but Wei Shengxin was curious how Lu Qian would react.

In a way, this is a test.

Lu Qian, still very attentive, seems to be thinking about Wei Shengxin's actor candidates wholeheartedly, his expression does not fluctuate.

Wei Shengxin's eyes flickered slightly invisibly before continuing.

"Of course, this is just a concept, we build the character based on the actors, give the character a distinct image, and then complete the script writing."

"But that doesn't mean that in the end it's the actor who is conceived to play the role, we still need to prepare a lot."

In the film industry, "waiting" is also a core term——

If you want to make a movie, but you don’t have a good script, you have to wait; if there is a good script, but you don’t have the investment, keep waiting; if you have a good script and find investment, but the top superstars don’t want to star, you still wait.

This is a joke, but it is also a fact. From inspiration to final release, a movie needs to go through thousands of mountains and rivers and layers of obstacles. It is indeed difficult.

That's why, at the beginning of a project, the director or producer builds the entire blueprint:

The most suitable choice for the male lead is Leo, the most suitable choice for the female lead is Chai Shaoyan, the most suitable choice for the director is Jiang Chenghai, as well as supporting male and female roles and so on.

Each character is embedded with a real object, so you don’t have to worry about whether these choices are too big and out of reach, but build your own sense of the project, and then strive for investment.

To be precise, before the script appeared, the project was just a prototype in the minds of editors, directors, or producers. They needed to make the "imagination" concrete, so that was the correct way to open the project.

As for whether the script creation is smooth after the project is established, whether top big names like Leo and Chai Shaoyan are interested, and whether other variables will occur in the project cooperation process, that is another matter.

The same goes for screenplay adaptations.

Because the original author often has an image in his mind when he is creating, it may be a public figure, or it may be an ordinary person around him, but no matter what, he can always find a prototype.

When adapting, the author naturally hopes to find an actor who is as close as possible to the prototype in his mind to play the role.

Simple example.

The original author of "Twilight" ~www.novelmt.com~ When creating the male protagonist, the image that came to mind was Henry-Cavill, who was still unknown at the time and worked **** the small screen. .

So when the film was put into adaptation, the author also asked Cavill to audition and was very satisfied; however, the producer and director thought that Cavill's image was not suitable, and finally chose Robert-Pattinson (Robert-Pattinson) .

The image of an actor is a supplement and an interpretation of the character. The positioning of the entire project can be seen from the casting. After all, the audience is still a "visual animal", and the image of the character is often the first impression in the mind.

It can be seen from Wei Shengxin's words that Dong Ruixian should be chosen because this is her project, but she did not think of the fit between Dong Ruixian's sweet Barbie image and the role.

The choice of Tao Ran is purely for traffic. After all, Tao Ran is really too young. He and Dong Ruixian play a middle-aged couple, which feels a bit strange.

But this is the film industry. Profits come first, entertainment to the death, as long as you can make money, why not?
