Shao Shuaijun has always thought that the subject of "The Night Watcher" is very cool and interesting. However, due to his overwhelming self-confidence and impetuousness, he turned a good subject into a bad film. This time for the second filming, Shao Shuaijun decided to
On the basis of the original, the places that cannot be described will be supplemented and clarified.
At the same time, it also sublimates the content of the story.
Originally, he hid clues for the sequel of "Nighthawks", such as the person who saved the protagonist Thomas and the person who told Thomas that he had super powers. He originally planned to make a sequel after "Nighthawks" became a hit. But this time Shao Shuaijun
I decided to scrap all this and not make a sequel.
In the movie "Nightwatch", Thomas gained the ability to travel through the mirror, so he transformed into a nightwatcher, guarding justice at night, but unexpectedly caused a very bad impact, and discovered that good and evil are not absolute.
In the revised version, Shao Shuaijun completely changed the story. Thomas is no longer a possessor of superpowers, but a patient with mental persecution and paranoia. The continuity of the story is still based on the original footage. Thomas travels through the mirror to seek justice, and everywhere
Fierce battles, with injuries and blood.
The added part is the prison scene. In reality, Thomas is not a night watchman at all. He is just a mentally ill patient who feels guilty for killing his wife. The reason why he has a series of super powers to travel through mirrors is because he swallowed mirrors.
I got off a small mirror, vomited it out in prison, and fantasized about it in front of the mirror.
Throughout the movie, most of the shots still use the original shots. Just adding a few sets of shots can perfectly subvert the plot of the movie...
Filming of the movie started in early January.
Filming took place on a set converted from an abandoned prison in San Francisco.
The time is the 15th, and filming has already started for more than a week.
"Jack, wait a moment when you hold the small mirror, pay attention to the angle. I want to take a shot of the mirror shining into one of your eyes." Shao Shuaijun explained the script to Jack Gyllenhaal, who was wearing a prisoner costume, "
At this time, your expression should have a paranoid smile, and your eyes must be crazy. You have to imagine that you are not looking in the mirror, but entering the identity of a night watchman, delivering justice outside the prison. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Gyllenhaal nodded.
The filming of "Thor" had finished and Gyllenhaal successfully joined the crew. Back then, "Nighthawks" suffered a huge loss, and Gyllenhaal also held his breath. Now he is filming the second time and is very devoted to his performance.
After explaining the script to Gyllenhaal, Shao Shuaijun reached out and asked the heroine to come over. The heroine was played by Kelly Nester, who was not a famous actress. Back then, she only played the role of "The Nighthawks".
A female counterpart of the male protagonist, in the second-shot version, Kelly was reborn and became the heroine.
Not only does he play the role of a drug dealer's teacher girlfriend, but he also plays the actor's wife and the female police officer in the prison. It's not that Shao Shuaijun can't afford actresses, but the plot requires it.
"Kelly, your character still has some flaws. I hope you can pay attention to it. When you beat Thomas, you have to show a rational side. You are not venting your anger on purpose, but because you hate Thomas' neurosis. You want to force a woman to fuck Thomas.
Do you understand? Your three characters all have symbolic meanings, symbolizing the law. How does the law force the will of women and men? They stand on the height of reason!"
"I think I understand, director." Kelly is now a mother of two children. "The Nighthawks" suffered a huge loss. She was unable to stay in Hollywood. After getting married, her figure was out of shape and she had to train urgently for a while.
Just recovered.
The secondary filming plan has been lingering in Shao Shuaijun's mind for a long time, so the progress of this filming is rapid, and the workload is completed ahead of schedule every day.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month is here.
Negotiations with New Line went smoothly, and the rights to Blade were successfully obtained. Marvel Comics immediately announced the news on its official website: "Good news, after friendly negotiations with New Line, the rights to Blade have been returned.
In the hands of Marvel Comics, the film adaptation of Blade Warrior is also in the process of being created. However, due to schedule constraints, Blade Warrior may not appear in the first episode."
Just one day later, Marvel Comics released a new piece of news: "Good news, after friendly negotiations with 20th Century Fox, the rights to Daredevil have returned to Marvel Comics. The rights to the Fantastic Four have also been signed.
The return intention is under way and in-depth negotiations are underway on the conditions for return."
Comic book fans are ecstatic that once the superheroes return, they may join the Avengers. It will definitely be enjoyable to see so many beloved superheroes gathered together.
What’s even crazier is that in the afternoon, Marvel Comics announced new news: “Good news, after friendly negotiations with Sony, the copyright of Soul Chariot has returned to Marvel Comics. The movie adaptation of Soul Chariot has begun,
If nothing else happens, I might join the first duet!"
As soon as the plan to acquire MGM was announced, it attracted Sony. In order to achieve cooperation and revitalize MGM, Sony's attitude changed rapidly. What was originally a non-cooperative attitude has now turned into enthusiasm. This is how Soul Tank is doing
Under the circumstances, I got it back successfully.
As for Spider-Man, he can't let go easily.
At the same time, Summit Entertainment also released its film schedule for 2011, which made other film companies nervous. Summit Entertainment was avoiding other film companies' big productions, and they were trying to avoid Summit Entertainment's box office bombs.
At the end of this month, Shao Shuaijun temporarily put the crew aside and flew back to China.
He wanted to take a good look at his son. It was almost a month and he was going crazy thinking about it. Video chat could not solve this longing at all.
"Baby son, do you miss daddy?" As soon as he got home, Shao Shuaijun couldn't wait to pick up his son.
"Wow wow wow..." Xiao Shao cried shamelessly.
"How come my son doesn't recognize me after I've been away for less than a month!" Shao Shuaijun dejectedly handed his son over to Li Xiuxiu.
Li Xiuxiu coaxed her son and said, "Who told you not to go home for a month? The baby will be angry with you."
"My son is angry with me? No, no, this won't work!" Shao Shuaijun immediately became nervous, and then watched the baby calm down in Li Xiuxiu's arms, and immediately shouted, "I have decided that my son will follow me to the United States to make movies.
! As for you, wife, just go to the United States to work. The Internet is so developed that you can work mobilely anywhere!"
"Haha, that's exactly what I planned." Li Xiuxiu shook Xiao Shao and said, "Actually, I have thought about it. The core business of Dream Entertainment Group is concentrated in Summit Entertainment. This is really not good. I want to
Start rectification and spin off Summit Entertainment. Marvel Comics must become independent, and Obvious Company must also become independent. Future acquisitions will also be under the name of Summit Entertainment, and Dream Chase Entertainment Group will actually acquire them! Therefore, in the past few years, I will also
Living in the United States temporarily.”
"That's great, let's ask my parents to move here too, and we will live in the United States for a while. I will probably have to make movies in the United States this year." Shao Shuaijun said happily.
After the decision was made, Shao Shuaijun went to his parents, as well as Li Xiuxiu's parents, to discuss going to the United States together. They were not willing at first, but thinking about Shao Shuaijun's work, they finally compromised. Those who should retire should retire.
Packed up, ready to go to the United States.
After the matter was decided, Shao Shuaijun came to the Dream Chase Film and Television Base in a good mood. Director Li Yu was already waiting for him at the film and television base. After complaining, the two attended the press conference on February 2 together.
The press conference hall was already full of reporters.
When I saw the two great directors showing up, the flashbulbs flashed non-stop.
After sitting down, Shao Shuaijun blew the microphone: "There are quite a few media friends here today. I'm glad that everyone is here. I think you all got the news. This is the release ceremony of director Li Yu's new movie. This movie
It's called "Life of Pi", adapted from Jan Martel's novel "Life of Pi". It is jointly invested by Dream Chaser, Summit Entertainment and Dream Chaser South Asia, and will be filmed in 3D format. Let's let Li Eucalyptus
The director will introduce it to everyone."
Li Yu took the microphone and said with a smile: "When Director Shao told me about this book, I was still very worried. I thought the script was very big and the story was also very big. Later, after I took the novel and read it completely,
I think it is a good challenge, especially since we decided to shoot in 3D. This is a very difficult thing. It is difficult to shoot water and animals. When I asked whether to shoot in 2D, Director Shao said to shoot in 3D.
, he has made a lot of preparations for this movie, so I also want to try 3D."
"Why didn't Director Shao shoot it himself? Is it because he was a literary film? Director Shao didn't shoot "Slumdog Millionaire" himself?" a reporter asked.
Shao Shuaijun replied: "I like to make movies that will do well at the box office. Seeing the box office surge makes me feel very accomplished. Director Li Yu is better at art films than me."
"In other words, you don't expect this movie to do well at the box office?"
Li Yu replied: "I asked him at the beginning, do you want to make money or stories? He told stories, so I said I only make stories. Don't come to me to make money."
Shao Shuaijun added: "I have always been passionate about the box office, but in the face of an excellent story, you will forget about the box office. This is the case with this movie. From the moment we decided to shoot, we focused on business.
I forgot that this movie should be presented to everyone with the most storytelling aspect. When everyone sees a good story, it would be better to get a little more box office."
"When will the movie be released?"
"This depends on Director Li's speed." Shao Shuaijun looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu said: "I'm not sure, because it will be filmed in three places: India, Mainland China and Taiwan. It may not be completed until 2012 or 2013."
With both Shao Shuaijun and Li Yu not far away from revealing the script, the media had no questions to ask and quickly lost track of the story.
"Director Shao, what was the second filming of "The Nighthawks" like? Has the plot changed or remained the same?"
Shao Shuaijun smiled: "It will be a completely different experience. Although you have seen some scenes, it will definitely bring you a different feeling." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
