In early December, Mr. Wu returned to the Vancouver crew.

At this time, "The Shawshank Redemption" had already filmed the scene of Lao Bu being released from prison.

In fact, the scenes of Old Paike... that is, those scenes of Old Bu can be shot alone, but Old Paike doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and seems to enjoy this kind of filming feeling.

On the crew, he got along quite well with some other actors.

In fact, it is unreasonable to be uncoordinated. In the crew, he is the biggest. Who dares to disrespect him? Even director Wu is embarrassed to give this old man a face.

Lao Bu was released from prison and could not face the new society, so he finally chose to commit suicide. This scene was a bit depressed and low-key by David Fincher, as if a big stone was pressed on people's hearts.

This is still the case without a soundtrack. If the later soundtrack is added, Mr. Wu believes that this scene will definitely touch the heartstrings of many people.

The movie "Shawshank Redemption" tells not only its desire for freedom, but also reflects some social problems, that is, prisoners are unable to adapt to new social problems after staying in prison for a long time.

In the original time and space, many people say that "Shawshank's Redemption" encounters "Forrest Gump" as a misfortune of "Shawshank". "Shawshank" has the strength to kill "Forrest Gump", but was killed by "Forrest Gump". But many people also think that "Shawshank" cannot beat "Forrest Gump", which is actually normal, because the social problems described by "Shawshank" are very mixed. It seems to want to express many things, but it is all clicked to stop, giving people the feeling of being tickling through the boots.

Mr. Wu felt that there was indeed a little bit of this situation. But obviously, if you abandon all these problems and only talk about the desire for freedom, it would be a bit thin.

But if these issues are analyzed in depth, the main and secondary will be in chaos again. After all, what this movie is about is freedom. This is the theme and it is impossible to deviate from it.

Although these problems seem to be very fragmented, they become more reasonable for the protagonist's illegal behavior of jailbreak, so in fact, there is nothing big wrong with this.

As for Old Paike's acting skills, there is no need to say much. If you don't talk about it, you will basically pass it in just two or three times at most.

In comparison, it seems a bit less than Al Pacino, but the problem is that Al Pacino has been thinking about this role for almost two years.

If this is not as good as Old Pike, then what will he use to compete for the best actor?

Mr. Wu made this movie but had the idea of ​​giving Al Pacino the throne of the best actor. Of course, it would be great if he could win the Oscar for Best Director with this movie. Although the Oscar is also a place that is more about qualifications, his qualifications are actually not very shallow. He has nominated for Best Director several times before.

The earliest one was "The Love of Man and Ghost", followed by "Legend of the Night 1", and then this year's "God of Gambling 2". However, these three nominations were all for the life of running away.

However, Mr. Wu also knew in his heart that if the third nomination was the movie "The Love of Man and Ghost", he might have a chance. Unfortunately, the movie "God of Gamblers 2" really could not allow him to get the best director. If he had a nomination, he would be considered a face-saving one.

In "The Love of Man and Ghost", it was his first time nominated for the Oscar, and he was nominated at such a young age. It is completely reasonable not to give him the Best Director Award.

The reason why "Legend of Night 1" and "God of Gamblers 2" were nominated is somewhat related to their box office results, but it is basically impossible to win the best director with a high box office.

Not everyone is James Cameron!

Moreover, Cameron won the award for "Titanic" in his original time and space, and his artistic quality was actually quite small. I don't know how many people cried when they tell their love stories.

However, Mr. Wu is not in a hurry. "The Shawshank Redemption" is not good, and "Forrest Gump" is also good! If "The Forrest Gump" is not good, it means that there are many inside stories here!

At that time, I guess Mr. Wu doesn’t need to speak, and countless people will speak up for him.

Those old stubborn Oscars should not dare to take the blame for the world!

Mr. Wu returned and was watching the shots taken by David Finch over a month ago. David Finch was sitting next to him with some trepidation, his eyes did not stare at the display screen, but looked at Mr. Wu's expression, as if he wanted to find some clues from his micro-expression.

Mr. Wu said with a funny look: "David, I feel very stressed when you keep looking at me like this! You must know that you are not a beauty!"

David Finch almost squirted when he heard this, but fortunately he was not drinking water.

"Oh Cheng, don't make such jokes! My orientation is also normal. I just feel a little nervous, afraid that the things I photographed cannot meet your requirements!"

This guy is calm. In fact, it is not okay to be calm. If he doesn't say it directly, others will definitely know it. Then people will definitely think he is hypocritical.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, man, even if the filming is not good, we can still shoot again. This is just a chance to exercise yourself. And I can see that your style is gradually forming, which is a good thing. In fact, you are quite suitable for a movie like "The Seven Deadly Sins". Maybe in the next movie, you can try to find scripts of this style."

"Hey, you don't know, "The Seven Deadly Sins" is one of my favorite movies!"

David Finch said with a smile. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the original time and space, the movie "The Seven Deadly Sins" is one of his representative works.

However, in this time and space, it was plagiarized by Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu smiled, but there was not much embarrassing expression on his face.

In this time and space, he has long been able to develop a "copper and iron bones" in his movies and other works that he plagiarized.

For things like this, he will no longer easily show his embarrassment.

Unfortunately, Wu has only seen the movies of David Fincher 3 and "The Seven Sins", and has never seen the others, because his gloomy and melancholy style is not what Wu likes. Otherwise, he could really give him a script.

It was already a day later when Mr. Wu finished watching the shots he had taken. He watched them very carefully and compared them with the original works in his mind.

Although there is a script and the script is adapted from the original work, it is basically equivalent to copying. However, there are still many differences in the contents taken.

But overall, there is no big problem. Although the style is still very similar to David Finch's style, his style is not very obvious now.

So, just need to change some shots, there is no problem at all.

This also made Mr. Wu realize that David Finch already has the ability to direct independently.

In fact, even Blast Blanc dares to try to direct a new film independently. David Finch is obviously more mature than Blast Blanc and is working in the film.

After seeing these shots taken by David Finch, Wu was re-entered to work and took some of the previous parts that were not very complete.

The actors had no objection. After all, it was a movie by Wu. Everyone also knew Wu's style and understood that this movie was a movie that wanted to win the award.

I have worked with Mr. Wu for so long, and I am very familiar with each other's cooperation, so I don't feel the chaos. It took only two days to finish all the places that need to be reshooted.

Seeing Mr. Wu directing the operation between the various departments of the crew in an orderly manner, David Finch couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had a lot to learn.

When Wu was not around, he had been on the director for more than a month, and the actors in the crew were very cooperative, and other departments did not ask him any problems. No one expected that Wu would be criticized by Wu when he knew that they did not cooperate with David Finch.

But even so, David Fincher still stumbling when he commanded it.

Because many times, he doesn't know what kind of department he wants to cooperate with him.

For example, the lighting group sometimes needs to adjust the brightness, which is difficult for him to know for a while, and it will be clear only after trying it. However, Mr. Wu doesn't seem to need it, so he directly calls for the brightness. The difference here is already very big.

Therefore, David Fincher studied more humbly in the following days.

Only by trying it will you know your shortcomings.

But Mr. Wu did not hide his own personal information. David Fincher didn't understand anything and came to ask him. He almost knew everything and said everything, as if he treated him as his own study.

Many people who have been his deputy director know about Principal Wu’s style of selflessness, so many people are willing to do so even if they have the opportunity to be his deputy director.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wu is also very picky when choosing an assistant director. Basically, the deputy directors he chose for himself are all famous in the future, or even more famous.

Because these directors are all smart and spiritual directors, they don’t need to take much effort to teach them. They can also use these directors to show off.

Think about it, people in later generations looked back at the film history of this period and found that those directors who were very famous later had all become the deputy directors of Mr. Wu. It's so cool to say that!

You think, future famous directors like Cameron, Blast Bay, David Finch, Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jiawei, etc., have all served as deputy directors for him. How awesome is this?

...

He stayed in the crew until October 2 Middle School, and Mr. Wu handed the crew to David Fincher and asked them to film for a few more days before they could give the crew a holiday.

After all, Christmas is coming soon. For Europeans and Americans, Christmas is their New Year's Day, it is a very important day and must have a holiday.

At this time, Mr. Wu went back to Xiangjiang to participate in the premiere of the play "A Chinese Ghost Story".

However, what Wu didn't expect was that when he returned to Xiangjiang and was about to participate in the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he actually saw the explosion coming from North America.

Blast Bei came to Xiangjiang two days ago. He came here for vacation in the name of him, but in fact he came here with a script. Because he knew that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was about to be released, Mr. Wu would definitely go back to Xiangjiang, so instead of going to Vancouver to find him, it would be better to come to Xiangjiang.

Moreover, because he participated in the drama "God of Gambling 2", he has a lot of friends in Xiangjiang. He is considered an old acquaintance with Zhou Runfa, Liu Huazai, Hong Jinbao and Zeng Zhiwei. In the past two days, he has been living a life of bright lights and wine with these people every day.

Only then did I feel close to the feeling that their boss, Mr. Wu, is famous and powerful here. Everyone is very proud of his face wherever he goes. Even those young and dandy guys who seem to be very uncomfortable are respectful to them. Even if they offend them accidentally, the other party will not take action.

"Oh Cheng! Do you know? That day I offended a gangster. The other party wanted to hit me. I said my boss was Cheng, and then guess what about those people? They actually hugged my shoulder and said they wanted to invite me to drink. Oh my God! I simply doubt whether you are here like an emperor!"

When Blast Bei met Mr. Wu in the company, he couldn't help but talk to Mr. Wu about some of his experiences in Xiangjiang and some of the experiences that he thought were magical in his opinion.

Having become familiar with the actors in Xiangjiang, he also knew what the most powerful person was called in ancient China.

Mr. Wu just smiled and said, "If there were any gangsters in your country who heard that you were an employee of Rockefeller, I believe they wouldn't hit you!"

"Oh, this is impossible!" Explosion Bei shook his head and said.

Mr. Wu shrugged, changed the subject, and said, "Is there anything important about you running here to find me? Or just come and have fun?"

"Of course there's something!" He said, taking out the script he brought, saying: "This is a new script "The Battle of Casino" based on "God of Gambling 2". The protagonist is the American boy Xiao, who is still played by Shaun, and the villain is Shaun's father Charlieson, and William Fidner..."

Wu Chengbian looked through the script and said, "Tell me, what are your thoughts!"

Then Burning Bei began to talk about his thoughts, while Wu looked at the script. There were many explosion scenes in the script, which made Wu's lips slightly raised. When Burning Bei introduced his ideas, he also mentioned the ideas of those explosion scenes from time to time, and looked very excited.

After hearing this, Mr. Wu couldn't help but sigh in secret. It turned out that this guy fell in love with the explosion so early! He thought this was after "Pearl Harbor"!

At the end, Mr. Wu couldn't help but complain: "Hey man, this is just a gambling movie, not a war movie. Do you want to turn the set into a battlefield?"
