Chapter 1154: drama master

During this time, Michael Bloomberg is busy arranging the "9.11" commemorative activities and security measures, and the two sides have agreed to meet and talk in late September.

Dunn was at ease in the post-production of "The Avengers". During the period, he also went to San Francisco to study with Dolby Laboratories the plan to improve the film projection equipment.

It's true that "The Avengers" was filmed with state-of-the-art technology.

But movies are ultimately played through projectors.

If the projector is not upgraded, the stunning visual effects of "The Avengers" will not be displayed on the big screen.

On this day, when I came to San Francisco, Dunn heard something. The crew of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" filmed here caused a drama turmoil.

Universal Pictures CEO Amy Pascal heard that Dunn happened to be in San Francisco, so he asked Dunn for help.

Although this matter is not big, it is really difficult to solve the role of small and small.

Because it involves Will Smith, the number one general under Amy Pascal.

Back then, when Amy Pascal was the president of Columbia Pictures, Will Smith was her capable man and made many excellent films for Columbia Pictures.

Later, Amy Pascal jumped to Universal Pictures, and naturally, Will Smith, a cash cow, would not be spared.

Now is the best era of Will Smith's career. This year, the romantic comedy "The Rival of All People" starring him and Monica Cruz was released in March and won $370 million with a production cost of $70 million. global box office.

It can be said that he made a lot of money for Universal Pictures.

Now, after filming action films, sci-fi films, and comedy films, Will Smith challenges the next genre - literary films.

He wants to compete for the Oscar!

The problem is that Gabriel Muccino, the director of "Knock When Happiness" is an Italian, has just come to Hollywood for two years. He has no qualifications, no prestige, and can't even speak English well.

It is difficult for such a director to control a big star like Will Smith in the crew.

Of course, to say that Will Smith played a big role and bullied outside directors, this is also unlikely.

Actors of this level, especially those who are aiming to hit the Oscars, must be very serious in their work, and may even carefully interrogate every punctuation mark in the script.

To talk about conflict, it can only be a contradiction in creative ideas.

Tang En came to the scene in person, and upon inquiries, it was indeed the case.

"I have performed this scene 13 times, exactly 13 times!" Seeing Dunn, Will Smith couldn't help but feel wronged.

Tang En frowned, "Isn't it normal to shoot a scene more than a dozen times?"

"It's normal, but the big nose is different. Every time he asks me to do it again in a new way. I've done it 13 times, how can there be so many ways to act? I'm almost tortured mad by him !"

"Will, pay attention to your words! You have to have enough respect for the director!"

"Okay, I apologize, but I really can't stand it anymore. I think I have to take two tablets of Valium."

He said so, but there was no shame on his face.

Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the director.

Fortunately, it was in the crew's nanny car, and no outsiders were present.

Dunn said very displeased: "There are only 13 kinds, so I can't hold on to it? Who can't come up with dozens or hundreds of different performances for actors like Hanks and Streep? Want to hit the Oscars? , If you can't surpass yourself, how can you win the award?"

Will Smith dared to show his prestige in front of the Italian director, but in front of Dunn, he couldn't show his temper at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know, I still need to improve. But the actor is a mine, and the director's role is to put this A mine was mined. He didn’t perform his duties. I asked him what kind of performance he wanted to see, but he couldn’t say a word, he just kept me performing, over and over again. I felt like I was the crew. The Joker in , everyone is watching my jokes."

"Can't say a word?" Dunn was a little surprised.

Will Smith said: "Yes, he never communicated with me about acting, he just kept giving orders to keep acting. In my opinion, he had no idea that the film should be made. What the hell, he doesn't have the ability to direct this kind of film!"

Dunn glanced at him, "Amy can appoint him as a film director, it means that he must have something special, and he is the best director of this era in Italy. It's just... Indeed, the way of directing plays is out of tune with Hollywood."

After hearing what Will Smith said, Dunn also understood.

Dare to love, this Gabriel Muccino is a loyal fan of Wang Jiawei!

There is no drama in the crew.

Let the actors realize their own acting, act over and over again, keep acting, and temper it over and over until a satisfactory one is shot.

Wang Jiawei is very famous in Europe.

His wild style has influenced a large number of avant-garde European directors.

Even Sofia Coppola is his fan.

However, this way of directing plays is promising in Europe, but it does not mean that it can be unimpeded in Hollywood!

European films can penetrate the essence of film art more directly, while Hollywood has changed its taste.

Commercial films are completely commodities. Even the "art films" that dominate the Oscars are just fine and beautiful handicrafts.

The Oscars are essentially film industry awards, not film art awards.

It is like the difference between Salon and Impressionism in oil painting.

"Will, you haven't gone to a professional film school, and your understanding of film theory may not be deep enough. Director Muccino's style...not an exaggeration. It's not the same. You haven't worked with a European director before, so it's normal to have some disagreements."

"Should I continue to work with him?"

Will Smith looked bitter.

"Why not?" Tang En smiled, "This will be a different performance experience for you, and it will be of great help to your future development. Follow his method and stick to it. You can't change it. Director?"

Will Smith is very disappointed. He really hopes to change the director. Anyway, the release date of this film is the end of December next year, and there is still enough time.

Tang En said: "Let's not talk about director Muccino's personal style, I can understand his thoughts. Will, you have made too many commercial films, and you have performance marks on your body. It's okay to make entertainment films, if you want to be in the arts The field has made progress, and these edges and corners must be smoothed out.”

Will Smith was silent for a long time, then nodded: "I see."

Tang En said so, and he could only accept it.

Dunn smiled slightly, very satisfied with his attitude.

Is this a showman?

no doubt!

The director is the soul of a movie. Do actors dare to question the director?

Isn't this nonsense?

Hollywood stars have too many privileges.

Just like Robert De Niro, his favorite thing is to change his lines. A big director like Martin Scorsese is okay, can control him.

When replaced by a small director, Robert De Niro would even yell at the director~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and openly challenge the director in the crew.

Even more exaggerated is Marlon Brando.

A few years ago, Marlon Brando made a cameo appearance in the movie "The Big Deal", which was the last movie he starred in in his life.

He had very few scenes, but it was just a few short shots that made a war break out between him and the little-known director.

Marlon Brando almost beat up the director. Then the few scenes where he made a cameo, let the film star Robert De Niro direct and shoot.

This is nothing, the most powerful is Clint Eastwood.

At that time, he starred in "Black Handcuffs", and director Richard Tagle was also a newcomer.

During the shooting process, a conflict of creative ideas broke out between the two parties.

What was the result?

Clint Eastwood directly took the director off the air!

Stay where it's cool!

All the crew and actors filmed according to Eastwood's ideas. Just let him shoot most of the movie as the male lead.

Later, the directors' union heard about this and felt great humiliation. To this end, a "Eastwood's Law" was promulgated, prohibiting Hollywood crews from taking over the director's work while filming.

In contrast, Will Smith's little trouble is really nothing.
