Even the most outstanding director can't be completely free from the interference of external factors. Murphy is determined. When he wrote the script in the early stage, everything went smoothly and normally. But when the team gathered again in the warehouse set in Venice and the preparations officially began, Gail gado's worry inevitably appeared.
The relationship between Murphy and rose is unusual, which leads him to think about all aspects of the situation because he wants to minimize the probability of failure or bad film.
Once people think too much, they will often have self denial. Despite the difficulties encountered by Fox in the 20th century, Orson wells still did not give in and decided to release the film as scheduled. As a result, it can be imagined that Citizen Kane was defeated at the box office.
Today, "Citizen Kane" has not affected its own value because of the box office failure. In the "100 year top 100 films" selection by the American film society, "Citizen Kane" has been ranked first.
At that time, my tutor analyzed the reasons for the success of Citizen Kane. Firstly, the director Orson wells dared to choose controversial characters as the protagonists of his biography.
Although Hurst as a newspaper tycoon, in order to let his newspaper can get more attention, even at the concoction of false news. However, in the film Citizen Kane, the director is not eager to make a one-sided value judgment on Kane, who is the embodiment of Hurst. Instead, he chooses to present Kane in their eyes through the memories of five people who have been with Kane.
In the eyes of Kane's adoptive father, Kane is a young man with lofty ideals and political ambitions; in the eyes of Kane's partners, Kane is a devil who, in order to achieve his goal, does not hesitate to violate his previous vows. It is through the memories of different people that a multidimensional and deep image of Kane is established.
On the other hand, the biographical films over there for a long period of time often take heroes and great people as the protagonists, and the value judgment is clear at a glance. Good people are excellent, bad people are very bad, which can not reflect the complexity of the characters themselves.
However, Murphy also knows that most of the time, it's not the director who wants to do this. The reasons are very complicated, especially when he stands on the other side of Hollywood. It's better to say that other films are restricted too much by biographical films.
The biographical films over there are always difficult to make. There are too many constraints and they are hard to play. They can't make up plots out of thin air like many Hollywood so-called "biographical films", and they can't record truthfully like some biographical films. In short, they not only restrict the imagination, but also dismember the real history. Generally speaking, they are mainly praise, with negative historical implication In general, it has not deviated from the shooting method of color films in those years - perfect production method.
Those who are perfect are not like people, but just perfect symbols.
Therefore, these films not only lost the audience, and even later almost no degree of communication.
This only describes the positive side, no negative side, the character's own character has no contradiction level, and there will be no huge life conflicts with the surrounding people, so the plot will be calm, let alone an excellent film, which is far away from the qualified film.
Of course, the director over there is also aware of the existence of the problem. It's just limited to various reasons that can't be explained. He can only find another way to solve it.
For example, the lack of character level, the film in order to increase the sense of contradiction, many directors can only put the characters into the country and the nation and the enemy struggle environment, with the big contradiction to replace the character's small contradiction, so the effect is dignified Temple image.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's just building a divine platform. It's too far away from the real characters with seven emotions and six desires.
Compared with the directors on the other side of the ocean, Murphy's shooting and production environment is much more relaxed, at least there will be no political restrictions.
More than that, there is a more favorable side, that is, Murphy will not face trouble like Jordan Belfort. After all, rose will not take him and the crew to court because of the adaptation of some parts of the film.
Don't underestimate these. The parties or descendants of biographical films often become obstacles to film shooting, production and release.
Murphy clearly remembers that after the release of a movie starring a king surnamed Liu, the so-called "descendants" of Zhao Yun suddenly criticized him, saying that Zhao Yun was not killed in the war, but died, threatening to sue in court.
It is estimated that the director must be sweating when he heard this letter.
At that time, Murphy's classmates also talked with him. The director thought to himself, "I just want to imagine it out of thin air. Is it true that it makes people perform? Why don't you sue Luo Guanzhong for putting Zhao Yun, a general with mixed names in historical facts, into the general of five tigers? Dare feeling is can only make up good to hear, that next time shoot again, let Zhao Yun full blood resurrection, and immortality got
Guan Erye's film, shot by someone later, is much better. At least it won't be harassed by the so-called descendants. According to historical records, Guan Yu killed general pound of the state of Wei when he flooded the seventh army. Later, when the Wei army invaded Chengdu, Pang Hui, Pound's son, was in the vanguard and killed Guan Yu's descendants and ethnic groups.
After the film was broadcast, if a "descendant" of Guan Yu came to complain, he could take off his shoes and slap him in the faceEven these highly entertaining films that can't be called biographies will be troubled, let alone real biographies. Murphy doesn't have to consider the unfavorable factors in this regard. It's a very powerful condition for him as a director and for the whole crew.
Three days after the closure, Murphy completely solved the problem of concept, convened a meeting of all department heads of the crew, and the preparation of the film named "Diego rose" was on the right track.
In terms of actors, although the stantons joined the group, they still need to find suitable actors. For example, the bald black actor next to rose needs the cast to find a black actor who is not difficult to play and has no glass heart.
In addition, the crew will be shooting in Los Angeles, Murphy also took people back to the long lost place of prosperity. (to be continued). )
