Chapter 176: Being a pair of scissors
The "District 9" project has begun to advance, and the assistant director, photography, art director, art designer, costume design, visual effects, set designer, and casting director have all been confirmed.
The main photographer is still Gu Changwei, and there are three assistant directors. Cao Yang gave one to Ning Hao. This guy really got into Lao Tian's graduate school, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for him.
The art director originally wanted to use Ye Jintian, but since this was a science fiction movie, he was afraid that he would have no experience, so he was given the position of art designer.
Cao Yang doesn't need to worry about the next thing for the time being. These crew members will design mother ships, small spaceships, mechas, alien "prawns", alien weapons, etc. according to Cao Yang's requirements.
When they come up with the drawings, Cao Yang only needs to put forward suggestions for improvement.
Hollywood is still very professional in this regard, with a clear division of labor, and the director does not need to worry about everything.
Therefore, Cao Yang returned to China and had to put the finishing touches on "Nine-Tailed Demon Fox".
After Cao Yang returned to China, he went to Gao Yuanyuan's place.
After not seeing each other for a while, the first thing to do after meeting is to eat.
Solve the problem of food and clothing first.
Food and clothing, lustful thoughts.
Next, let’s solve the second thing naturally.
For a long time, Da Meiyuan, who was singing, suddenly turned into a soprano, and her voice was very penetrating.
"Cao Yang, I want to give you a baby..."
Cao Yang was well prepared and directly blocked her next words.
"Well..."
The soprano gave up completely and turned into a lazy little lazy cat, nestling in Cao Yang's arms.
"Let me tell you something, Columbia has invested in a movie about small days. Spielberg is the producer and supervisor. It has invested about 80 million US dollars and wants to invite you, Li Xiaoran and Yu Feihong to play the leading roles. ”
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly raised her head and asked with some surprise: "Really?"
Then he muttered again, "Why are there still two of them?"
Although she is the best actress in Cannes, in Greater China or in East Asia, her endorsements are top-notch.
But for Hollywood, especially large-scale productions worth 80 million US dollars, where a big director like Spielberg is also a producer and supervisor, these are not resources that she has access to.
"Of course it's true."
Cao Yang glanced down. With his head raised and his body lowered like this, he still looked bigger, at least much bigger than lying down.
Gao Yuanyuan could clearly see what Cao Yang was looking at and rolled her eyes at him. Isn't it just right to be so big? You just have it all in one hand.
"Maybe in the next few days, Spielberg will send a formal invitation."
"Bo..."
Gao Yuanyuan happily lowered her head and kissed Cao Yang on the face, then held her chin in her hands and looked at Cao Yang with watery eyes.
"What's your opinion? I want to hear your opinion."
Cao Yang smiled. He was not stupid, he was not overwhelmed by the surprise, and he still knew how to ask his own opinion.
"My opinion, I'm afraid your happiness will be in vain. I don't recommend you to accept this movie."
Gao Yuanyuan pouted, but she didn't seem too disappointed.
"Why? 80 million, converted to 600-700 million, it would be a pity not to do such a big production."
"It is difficult for this movie to be successful. Not only will it not improve the celebrity status, but it may also be scolded in the country. The pay is not high, and it is a thankless thing."
Cao Yang lifted her chin with his hand, "Besides, there are a lot of passionate scenes, the kind that reveal a little bit."
Gao Yuanyuan looked understanding and started to laugh.
"Are you smiling?" Cao Yang scraped Gao Yuanyuan's nose and said angrily.
Gao Yuanyuan held her chin, opened her mouth to bite Cao Yang's hand, but missed, so she laughed again, "Are you not willing for me to shoot passionate scenes?" "Director Cao will teach you how to shoot passionate scenes now."
Cao Yang turned over and began to teach by words and deeds.
As a great director, Cao Yang's ability to guide actors is obvious to all. After a while, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but sing.
Cao Yang also had some experience in music.
When Gao Yuanyuan sang, Cao Yang played time.
The rhythm is very good.
The two of them cooperated very well.
Cao Yang's tempo is faster, and Gao Yuanyuan's singing is more compact and high-pitched.
The next day, before Cao Yang left, he told Gao Yuanyuan.
"After Spielberg sends the invitation, don't be too busy to refuse it. Let the news out first, make it real, and let the country know that you are the first to be invited and the first choice. Make good use of this to create hype. .”
Cao Yang patted Gao Yuanyuan on the head, and continued: "When the time comes, let the agent contact us for negotiations, and make sure we do not accept passionate scenes. You don't need to refuse. They will definitely not agree, and they will not offend anyone."
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Disgusting."
Gao Yuanyuan pushed Cao Yang's hand away, "Okay, Director Cao, I remember it."
Yu Feihong and Li Xiaoran were not in the capital, so Cao Yang called them respectively and warned them about this matter.
Neither of them had any objections, unlike several actresses in later generations who were eager to break into Hollywood.
Yu Feihong really doesn't care, she only accepts some high-end endorsements now, and she is very picky.
Because of her, she has few endorsements, she is a Venice Best Actress, and her style makes her more popular among high-end people.
Mr. Han from China Film Company heard that Cao Yang was back and called eagerly.
Through conversation, Cao Yang finally understood what he meant.
"Mean Milk" is now not a gay movie, but a movie that satirizes American conservatives and politicians. This is considered "politically" correct to a certain extent domestically.
In the eyes of politicians in capitalist countries, the people are the ones being fooled.
Compare it.
And because this movie was made by Cao Yang and was a hit at the Oscars, it was imported into China and prepared for release on March 12 in line with the release time in the United States.
I still remember that when Big Ship was first introduced and released, there were almost no cuts.
It's not that Cao Yang's movie didn't have any cuts, it's that no one was willing to do it.
The influence of this movie is quite big, and it is mentioned above. Moreover, Cao Yang is now a world-class director and won the Oscar for Best Picture. Scissors is also a matter of taste.
However, there are indeed many restricted scenes in this movie.
Depp and Anne Hathaway have some perverted passionate scenes.
And under Cao Yang’s bad taste, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Hardy, James Franco, Pedro Pascal, Ryan Reynolds, Henry Cavill, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Bradley Cooper, Cillian Murphy, Zachary Levi...
These future Hollywood stars, well, male stars, all have direct or indirect mouth-to-mouth intimacy scenes.
Whether these are passionate dramas between men and women, or passionate dramas between men, although they are all satirical to old Americans, they are a bit... inappropriate when released in China.
Well, this is what Mr. Han said.
Cao Yang understood what Mr. Han meant. Others didn't dare to cut it and wanted Cao Yang to cut it himself.
Well, this is really...
Cao Yang also didn't expect that one day he would become a scissor and edit his own movies.
