For Duke, satisfying ordinary fans and audiences is far better than others. This is also his most basic principle for filming and producing this "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".∷∷,

A long time ago, in a distant galaxy, a screen science fiction epic about friendship, faith and loyalty opened its first chapter. 37 years later, its seventh story is about to set sail, and this banner called "Star Wars" is also completed by a new generation of film industry workers who grew up with its legend.

Returning to Los Angeles from San Diego, Duke plunged into the Hughes Aircraft Plant's huge studio and began to shoot the few remaining shots.

“There are too few people,”

Standing on the innermost platform of the studio, Duke looked at the densely packed chargers below and said to Anna Prinz, "Are there any extras?"

Here is a scene where a general from the First Order delivered a speech. Hannah Selena sets the scene, drawing on the situation when Hitler delivered a speech to the Nazi SS during World War II. This is also following the usual tradition of Star Wars. It is not difficult for anyone who has watched the original Star Wars trilogy to find that the uniform of Emperor* was very similar to the Nazi military uniform.

As for the Sith Emperor, no matter how you look at it, they are all the incarnations of Adolf Hitler.

To a certain extent, Duke still used this hidden setting and did not have any concerns. In the Western world and even on the entire earth, anti-Nazi and anti-Hitler can be said to be one of the most basic political correctness and value orientations.

Indeed, there are many people in this world who sympathize with and even admire the Nazis and Hitler, but few people will be so stupid that they will be promoted directly, unless he is a brainless person like Ras von Tyre.

The Danish director has always had problems with his mind. He not only thinks he is the God of the film industry, but also the God of all mankind. He often throws out some amazing words to attract attention to attract attention.

For example, the so-called "dogma95" declaration, not only other directors he requested, but even he himself has never done it.

But when you walk by the river often, you always have a wet shoe. This director with a problem with his head will naturally mess up his hype.

In 2011, Lars von Tyre appeared in the main competition unit of the 64th Cannes Film Festival with his new film "Melancholy". His unblocked voice shocked the whole of Europe.

The director, who has always been unsightly, blurted out, "I have always been proud of my Jewish identity; then I met Susanna Bill, director of Danish, who won the Best Foreign Language Film of the Year in "A Better World", and I was a little unhappy after that. Then I found out that I was actually a Nazi believer, and my family was from Germany, which made me very excited. What else can I say? I understand Adolf Hitler very much. I even sympathize with him."

It's not over yet. Facing the room full of media, Ras von Tyre was still making a fuss, "I'm just a Nazi."

Not to mention others, even the stars of "Melancholy" Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gansb were shocked. It seemed that the person sitting next to them was not the director of the film they knew.

In the final result, Lars von Tyre was directly expelled from the Cannes Film Festival and France.

Anti-Nazi can be said to be the most basic principle. In things like movies, making sympathy for the Nazis is simply seeking death.

Although Star Wars has never been expressed directly, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the villain who was whipped by the light side is the Nazi cosmic version.

Due to insufficient number of extras, Duke walked around the platform and said to behind him, "Tina. Let everyone else who did not participate in the filming dress up as Stormtroopers, and the people who came to visit the crew..."

This is the norm. In scenes where there are a large number of people, it is not surprising that other people in the crew make a temporary guest appearance in Hollywood. Duke did the same thing when he filmed the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The rest of the crew who did not directly participate in the filming work were all wearing the Stormtrooper costumes, even Daisy Ridley and Daniel Wu were no exception. This finally made up enough of the Stormtrooper camp in front of the green screen. The Stormtroopers in the remaining long-range shots can be added through the later g.

Compared to the busy preparation work for nearly a day, the shooting seemed too smooth. After just three repeated times, Duke announced that the shot was passed.

In the subsequent shooting, Duke still maintained enough caution and concentration. It is not difficult for Duke to grasp the essence of the old version of Star Wars. The real difficult problem is how to create a new chapter with the personality of the times.

People born in the 1990s and 2000s have become the main force in the film market. They do not know the entanglement between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, the names of lightsabers, the black warriors, and even the memes of "I am your father" have attached more cultural symbols, rather than signs that only Star Wars fans will be keen on.

As a screenwriter, director and producer, Duke must ensure that even if he is not a generation who grew up with Star Wars, it is not a problem to understand Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

After all, the real protagonist of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is the two "rookie" actors Daisy Ridley and Daniel Wu who debuted in mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters.

In the media's words, they are definitely lucky to be able to get these two roles, but the audition process they went through was also painful, long and deceptive, because the Star Wars sign was too loud. During the audition, Duke even created a fake script for the actors to audition for confidentiality reasons.

After being elected as the star, the burden on this group of new actors has not been reduced at all. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" also requires the actors to face "real guns and ammunition" during the performance. The two protagonists must run wildly in the desert and avoid explosions. Duke never denies the professionalism and special effects production of the entire team.

Of course, director Duke's work is also quite heavy.

For Duke, the most important thing about Star Wars is that it is not just anything simple, but in fact this is why he chose this movie like this.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not only an epic blockbuster, but also extremely delicate and touching; it is serious and meticulous in some aspects, but sometimes it is laughable and hilarious; it has heavy dark elements and tense conflicts of interests, but it is really fun, warm and romantic at the same time.

It can be said that this story has everything in it. It is a story about friendship, trust, dedication, loyalty, and belief in ourselves. All these forces unite us closely.

What Duke has to do is to use its existing materials and characters to create a new story, and it does not require the audience to watch "Star Wars" before. The audience will see Han Soro in the movie, but they do not need to know him before when watching this movie.

If movie fans have watched the previous few movies, Han Solo may watch his performance from a different angle.

The other protagonists of this movie are all debuting, and the audience can follow their eyes and see the world in the movie together.

In the mainstream film market in this world, some people only know "Star Wars" from games; some people only know one or two plots in cartoons; some people only hear it from friends, but they have never watched it themselves, but everyone knows "Skywalker" and "Lightsabers", even if not everyone has watched this series of movies.

There are also many places where people have never seen these movies, so Duke knew that shooting such a movie requires visual shock, eye-catching action plots, and the feeling of light and darkness confronting each other.

These are eternal themes.

Star Wars itself, the first film in the series, is very simple and straightforward in many ways. Some people may think that many of its elements are outdated today because they are too simple.

But it is still a beautiful, interesting, touching, sweet story, and its protagonist is those who are weak grassroots who are not elites and have no power. They would never have thought that they are capable of fighting against the greatest evil forces.

There are huge mysteries in this, there are still many problems that have not been solved, and there are still many things that Duke needs to lead the entire team to explore. But these don't matter, because even if you don't need to know anything, you're enough to be attracted to it.

The audience already has tense stories, fierce battles, dramatic conflicts, and magnificent scenes for all the elements that the audience can think of.

But for Duke, the key to the success of the movie is that the audience should like and care about the characters in the play. These are the core of the movie, so a cold spaceship does not represent anything. Only when the people the audience likes are on that spaceship, its navigation becomes meaningful.

Duke's goal is to let the audience want to see the story that happened above.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens need to have epic emotions while also biting to show amazing special effects.

Since formally forming a team, Duke and his collaborators have completed many incredibly brilliant films.

As time entered late July, Duke successfully ended all the shooting of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and immediately moved into post-production.

This time, unlike in the past, the special effects are less produced. For the sake of emotional effect, Duke used a lot of real-life shooting.

The real-life shots are equally excellent, with many characters and scenes. After watching them, you may not believe that they were shot in real-life, but they are indeed.

In post-production, many times Duke uses gi to remove some things, not to add anything, such as removing mechanical manipulators, wire wires, prominent controls, or other things like that.
