The large-scale film production process of large-scale production companies is always extremely cumbersome and extremely complicated. Preliminary preparation may take a year or two or even more time; and post-production may take a year and a half or even longer, plus The filming itself requires a lot of time and effort in the shooting process. It is not surprising that a film usually takes three years from the project to the release. As for the "Avatar" series, it is not surprising that the "Avatar" series has waited and waited for a lifetime. .
But in the face of this situation, Lan Li is still a novice.
Previously, "Jurassic World" went around for more than a year and a half, but most of the time it had nothing to do with Lan Li, but the entanglement and repetition within Universal Pictures. After the signing was completed in black and white, it was less than four. In just a few months, the film was filmed, and during the busy awards season, Lanli had almost no waiting.
Now "Rogue One" is different. I signed the contract in January. I haven't seen the script in September. Then the shooting time is expected to be further postponed. It feels like I can't see the end of the waiting, as if the marathon can't see the end. In addition to exhaustion, a sense of absurdity inevitably breeds.
"According to common sense, this is a precursor to the project's smashing pot. No wonder so many projects are in the preparation process, the director and the actors have changed one after another, and the final release version and the original intention of the project have been very different. But I Guess, you shouldn't give up'Star Wars' easily."
Lan Li’s ridicule made Andy a little helpless, but, as Lan Li said, his mood for the "Star Wars" series is special and contradictory. At this time, he knew that Lan Li was joking, but he could not laugh at all. Come out, "Why, do you think this is bad news? Could it be messed up?"
It’s really rare to see Andy’s troubles, gains and losses, which makes Lan Li’s mood more brisk, "I don’t know, I haven’t seen the script yet, remember? If I can tell, maybe in January, I We won’t sign, and we won’t face such a dilemma now, what do you think?
"Lan Li...I'm not joking, I'm serious." Andy rolled his eyes, he really didn't feel like joking.
Lan Li was full of innocence, "I'm serious too, Andy, I never make fun of work." A serious remark made Andy choke, because Lan Li was telling the truth, but then Lan Li went on. Said, "Very well, we can now discuss the possibility of applying for termination."
Andy couldn't help holding his breath.
Sitting at this end of the phone, Lan Li could clearly notice the choking of Andy’s breathing. The tension and anxiety have never been seen before. "Haha." Lan Li laughed loudly, "Andy, I am here. Just kidding, take it easy, everything can be decided after the script comes out." Just as Andy breathed a sigh of relief, Lan Li continued, "If you want to cancel the contract, it will be too late to let Matthew out."
"..." Take a deep breath, Andy, take a deep breath, "..." Andy kept admonishing himself inwardly, and then said very seriously, "Can I hang up the phone?"
Lan Li’s smile fully bloomed. Sure enough, people with innocent hearts are always very cute, "Sorry, Andy, I’m back to the subject now. You specifically called me today, definitely not to complain about Catherine Kennedy. So, what job offer actually appeared?"
"Ougs-Lanthimos (-Lanthimos). Have you heard of his name?" Andy also condensed his mind, returned to business, and his tone and tone of voice returned to normal.
Ougs Lansmos, a native of Greece, can be regarded as a late-blooming director, because Greek films have completely declined in modern times, and the entire film production environment is far from excellent, which limits Oggs to a certain extent. It was not until 2001 when he was twenty-eight years old that he made his debut film "My Best Friend".
Of course, compared to those directors who are only in their 40s and 50s, Oggs’s "late bloomer" should be "young fame", because Oggs has gradually formed since his debut. With his own style, the cold wide-angle and abrupt soundtrack are used to create the absurdity and ridicule in the play, and the black temperament is always permeated.
In 2009, Oggs directed his third work, "Dog's Tooth". This work was shortlisted for a focus unit of the Cannes Film Festival, and won an award for attention, renewing the silent Greek film for many years. Appeared in front of the world, and finally reached the top five seats of the Oscar for best foreign language film the following year, establishing its reputation in the industry.
After that, Oggs climbed rapidly almost step by step. In just ten years, he joined directors such as Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson as the outstanding creators after the new century.
Oggs is not a prolific director. Starting from "Dougya" in 2009, he had only six works in total during the ten-year period to 2019-including "Dougya".
In 2010, he served as a producer instead of a director and participated in the performance of the work "Edenberg", which was shortlisted in the main competition of the Venice Film Festival, and finally won the Best Actress Award; in 2011, "Alps", self-edited Director, once again shortlisted for the Venice Main Competition, won the Best Screenplay Award; in 2017, "Death of the Sacred Deer", self-written and directed, the Best Screenplay Award in the Cannes Film Festival Main Competition.
Then in 2018, Oggs directed a work that was not written by him for the first time, "Favorite". This work quickly became the first pinnacle of his career. First, he won the Jury Award and Best Female at the Venice Film Festival. The actor won two trophies; then he won ten nominations at the Oscars and led the way, including a series of nominations for best picture, best director, two best supporting actresses, and finally won the best actress statuette.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ogus's rise is very fast and fierce, and he can return with a full load in almost every shot, and he has not missed since "Dogya". The whole creative inspiration is at a peak state, as if it has become an indispensable part of the European film field——
Then he established himself in the world of English-language movies. Not all European art directors can make a big break in the English film market.
Here we must mention Ougs’ first English work: "Lobster".
This work was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival in 2015. The story is set in a fictitious near-future society, where the marriage and love of residents are strictly controlled and managed. According to regulations, if singles are to be transferred to a hotel, they must find a matching partner within forty-five days, and the loser will be transformed into an animal of their choice and exiled to the forest. In order to extend the forty-five days, the singles in the hotel will hunt other singles in the forest.
The background of the whole story continues Oggs’s consistent black absurdity. From the beginning of "Dog Tooth" to the later "Death of the Holy Deer", Oggs is always good at digging out a small part of contemporary society and extracting it. The problems in it are then set up in a weird and sci-fi framework, giving the story a utopian perspective, and then reflecting social problems. This is undoubtedly the iconic feature of Oggs's works.
Because the style of Oggs's works is so distinctive and so unique that it has become a kind of icon. Audiences who like this think that this is the interpretation of Ogus’ society, and the audience can always get inspiration from it; those who don’t catch a cold think that Ogus’s story is too absurd and too strange, so that it is lost. Reality can't show the director's true style at all; as for disgusting audiences, they think the story is a mess and don't know what it is.
But it is undeniable that the “darling” of 2018 was Ougs’s first attempt to shoot other people’s scripts. This also made many viewers express their sigh: without the cold and weird “siege” texture, Ou Gus doesn’t seem to be Ogus anymore. Some people like it and some reject it, but after all, they still miss the distinctive and unique Greek director before - but the audience’s choking has not been able to prevent this work from becoming Ogus’s breaking the niche. Shackles stepping into the mainstream has undoubtedly become his first pinnacle of international fame, and he has made a huge breakthrough in his career.
By the way, "Lobster" is a work released in 2015.
At the moment in 2014, Oggs, who has won countless attentions with his "Dogya" and "Alps" successively, entered a short period of creative precipitation. It took nearly three years to find inspiration and polish the script before leaving. In the creative field of the Greek film industry that I am familiar with, I went to the UK to find opportunities to open my career. "Lobster" was born under this background.
In fact, at this time Ougs has established a firm foothold in the European continent. He does not lack actors who are willing to cooperate. The only difference lies in whether he can fully meet his expectations. This also makes "Lobster" a very Good cast lineup: Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Ben-Whishaw, Olivia-Coleman, Lya-Sai Du, etc. ~www.novelhall.com~ In the United States, Ouges' reputation is still relatively limited, only industry professionals are more familiar with it, but the general public is still very unfamiliar, which is why Andy raised such a problem.
"I heard, of course." Lan Li gave an affirmative answer lightly. "His reputation in the West End of London is quite strong."
Andy was a little surprised, "Oh, so? After hearing about this director, I also specifically looked for his "Dog Ya" to watch. It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. I didn't expect that he had already made it in the UK. Name it."
"Regarding the aesthetic issues of films in Europe and the United States, we can temporarily put it aside and talk about business." Lan Li twitched the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
This ridicule also made Andy laugh happily, "I can accept it. Before the topic starts, I surrender." If a debate is really necessary, Andy doesn't think he has any chance of winning.
