Two Hundred and Fifty-Don’t Over-Deify Wayne

Tim Burton chatted with DC Comics' Digger Harris for a while, leaving him to continue watching the filming. He shook his head and turned towards his trailer.

Even if the two people only talked for a while, he felt that the other party was a little blind. Not only Diggle Harris himself, but also the CEO of DC Comics. They were overly deifying Wayne.

Of course, this is just his own feeling, and Tim Burton also appreciates Wayne and believes that he can continue to succeed, but this success has a cycle and cannot last forever.

Every master director will have a golden period of creation, or a period of vigorous energy. During this period, he is like being possessed by God, and his talent and inspiration will continue to overflow, no matter what kind of filming he takes. All videos will be successful.

And it will continue to be successful. Every director who has made amazing achievements will have such a long or short period of time. This is almost a consensus in the industry.

In Tim Burton's view, Wayne is the kind of director who enters a golden creative period as soon as he debuts. The release of "Joker" made him a god prematurely.

But this period will eventually pass, and even Spielberg can't stop this pattern. Everyone only remembers the good old man's successful works such as "ET", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", etc., but they don't know that he is still the same It also made mistakes, and early fans and film critics of "1" were not clear about it.

There are also David Fincher, Francis Coppola, the Coen brothers, and Clint Eastwood. Almost all of these famous directors have stumbled after continuous success. Who can guarantee that they will never fail? .

Even Tim Burton himself still fails sometimes. He knows clearly that Wayne is indeed continuing to succeed, but he must not blindly deify this young man. No one can always succeed without failing.

But even if there were to be mistakes in the future, he felt that this young man would not stumble. Wayne's mind was too clear, and he seemed to maintain his original intention at all times.

Including all the star directors and producers in Hollywood, there is no one like him who, after gaining huge wealth, success, and status in the industry, can still maintain his stability and continue to make movies every year. This is incredible.

With this essence of not changing his original intention and always keeping a clear mind, Tim Burton had a hunch that Wayne might be able to maintain this golden creative period of the director long enough.

Of course he hopes that this will last as long as possible. In this circle, there are really not many directors who can be successful and maintain a strong personal style. Except for himself and Wayne, there are really no directors with a style like the two of them. Consistently.

After looking at the shooting scene again, shaking his head vigorously to suppress all the messy thoughts, Tim Burton returned to the trailer and called the third-party guarantee company.

"Let all staff call it a day and pay attention to the film that has been shot."

After a whole day of shooting, Wayne looked over the shooting plan, nodded with satisfaction, made sure there was nothing wrong, raised his head and said to Zack Snyder.

Naomi Watts, who had a problem on the first day of filming, sat alone all the time without her role, holding the script in her hand and thinking about it. She was not at all like her usual playful character.

Nina walked up to the Australian beauty and patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, Nami, it's done. We should go back."

"Oh well."

After reaching out and rubbing her face hard, Naomi Watts pulled Nina to stand up and walked with her to Wayne's car, preparing to go back to the hotel with them after the crew left.

"Don't embarrass yourself too much, Nami." The assistant looked at her worriedly. She was not in a good condition now, and her white face was full of tangles. "The boss knows your abilities, and the old people on the crew also know it. No one believes that you can't play such a role well."

Naomi Watts shook her head silently. After sitting back in the car, she was still mumbling her lines. She would read the script from time to time, control her expressions, and experience and practice the heroine's emotions in advance.

Nina looked at her boss who was still standing in the studio, watching the staff packing equipment, and couldn't help but said loudly: "Nami, the working time is over, there is no need to embarrass yourself too much."

"No, you don't understand, Nina."

Naomi Watts put down the thick script in her hand, also looked in the direction of the set, and said softly: "I am the heroine he has directly chosen. Everyone knows this. In order for me to play this role, He turned down Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie.

For this reason, even if I don't have any scenes in Hong Kong, I will watch it with the crew every day. Since everyone knows that Wayne and I have a special relationship, I have to work harder to show off my performance so that those who are envious and jealous will not feel uncomfortable in their hearts. The balanced man is speechless.

But I still almost screwed up my job, and I knew exactly what the problem was, which was a very bad feeling! "

Nina asked curiously: "Do you know what the problem is?"

"Of course." Naomi Watts pointed to her chest and said with an ugly face: "It's just because of my mentality. In my heart, I have already acquiesced that as long as Wayne is here, I will definitely succeed. , has quietly lost the original motivation, and also lost the fierceness to survive in this circle at all costs."

After seeing how hard Christian Bale worked, she really felt a change in herself today. This role was indeed not too difficult, but she almost screwed it up. She felt that there was something wrong with her mentality.

Since there is a problem, work hard to solve it. Naomi Watts is not a hypocritical person. She will certainly not refuse Wayne's help and will continue to accept it in the future.

But she couldn't just wait for his help, she had to show at least a qualified performance, so that even if someone criticized her sourly, they couldn't deny the fact that she was indeed capable of playing every role.

"What's wrong?"

As the crew's motorcade left one by one, Wayne found that the atmosphere was not right when he got in the car. The three people in the car were silent. He looked at Naomi Watts strangely and leaned back in his chair in confusion. asked.

The Australian beauty shook her head, smiled and hugged his arm. "It's okay, it's just that it's my first day, so I'm a little tired."

"Okay, then go back and take a rest early today." Wayne didn't take it seriously. The crew had so much work to do, and he didn't have time to pay attention to things other than work. "The temporary tab room must be built quickly, Nina, please remember to tell Tim for me tomorrow."

"No problem, boss." The assistant lady nodded, opened her work record book and wrote it down.

Generally speaking, today's shooting plan went smoothly. Tom Wilkinson, who plays the role of the gang boss, performed very steadily on the first day he joined the set. After understanding the performance effects required by the director, he performed several scenes with Christian Bale. There are not many scenes, but they are all NG.

If the other actors perform well, he is sure to end filming in New York early.

After experiencing several movies, Wayne has entered a state where he can relax a little bit, because the core creative team has a great understanding of the director's needs through continuous cooperation.

This is very different from when he was making the first two movies. In the beginning, Wayne told the employees behind the scenes the effects he needed, but the final scenes would always match what he told them. difference.

Then he can only adjust it over and over again. What kind of scenery, what kind of lighting, camera lens scheduling and camera position, etc., all require him to constantly organize the cooperation of various types of work.

Regardless of whether the crew is large or small, the principles involved are the same. If you want to shoot a scene, it starts with the employees arriving on the set, including setting, props, planning camera positions, adjusting lighting, actors applying makeup, practicing walking, on-site recording, starting shooting, script monitoring, shooting lens materials, determining materials, etc. A big set.

After one day of shooting, the shooting plan for the next day must be adjusted according to the specific situation. With these complex links, as long as there is a problem with one of the types of work in the middle, all the pre-shooting production plans will be affected, or even overturned.

However, when it comes to this movie, these things that often require him to constantly worry about have gradually become less and less. After long-term cooperation, the core creative team has gradually understood the director's production concept, and they have a tacit understanding and can find the director's needs very well.

This greatly reduces the initial running-in time that the crew has to go through, and the filming work will be smoother.

When the behind-the-scenes work does not drag down time, the rest is just to see the actor's condition as to how fast the footage is shot.

Another very important point is that Tim Burton took over the financial work. He is a producer who fully understands the director's work. This allows the crew to run smoothly and allows the director to fully focus on In order to create, you don’t have to worry about chores.

Now Wayne only hopes to maintain the stability of the main creative team for a long time. With department heads like them who have high professional standards and cooperate well with each other, he does not have to take care of everything. This is a mature production team.

If he wants to maintain such a team without excessive personnel changes on a year-to-year basis, these are what he needs to care about now.

Just like lighting director Steve Wilson, I have worked with him since "Happy Death Day" and can still cooperate now because he will help him fight for better treatment from the production company, and the same goes for everyone else.

This is a business society. Only by giving your own people more income and status can they work with you safely.

"Boss." After returning to the hotel, while Naomi Watts walked into the bathroom, Nina sat next to him and whispered what the Australian girl said.

"That's a good thing, Nina."
