With 350 million in North America, 1.60 billion overseas, 1.510 million globally, "Fast and Passion 7" has created a series of new highs with an absolutely strong posture, and has truly got rid of the shackles of the "B-Class Series". It has become a giant crocodile that cannot be ignored in the box office market; and the 16-week consecutive championship on the bulletin board of "Reunion" is another epitome of this grand farewell, magnificent and magnificent, but, I don’t know, when the series fans will be able to Reunited with Paul.

This is a spring that belongs to Paul Walker. Before the "Avengers 2" kicks off the summer season, he has the entire spring time to complete the final farewell.

As for the blue gift, after the London premiere, he stayed away from the spotlight again, returned to the Pinewood filming base, and devoted himself to the filming of "Rogue One" again. All the hustle and bustle of "The Reunion" were all forgotten. Later, the entire spotlight stage was left to Paul.

"Rogue One" deserves to be a top production with an investment cost of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. The entire shooting cycle is very cumbersome and extremely long. From the official start-up in January to April, the production is still in full swing; what's worse, Garys Edwards does not have the "right to speak", which makes the film "receive" too many opinions during the production process, which seriously interferes with the creation of Garys, and the progress is not so smooth.

In early February, Jason McGatlin and Garys Edwards proposed amendments to the gloomy and dark style of the work.

In mid-February, Catherine Kennedy arrived at Pinewood Studios and expressed her concern about the existing script-spending too much pen and ink on the creation of a group of characters, for the actors, the performance space has expanded, which is a good thing; But for the film as a whole, it may drag down the narrative rhythm.

Subsequently, Jason McGatlin and Catherine Kennedy both had in-depth conversations with Garys. The three previous meetings failed to reach a consensus, and even caused a certain degree of quarrel. Obviously, Garys was not an easy compromise. He always insisted on the genre. The script and style have been approved by Lan Li, and it has been nearly two months since filming started. He has also been very happy to cooperate with Lan Li and other actors and refuses to modify the style.

"It's not because it's too expensive, but because it's unnecessary." Garris is also a tough temper.

However, the related quarrel did not disturb Lan Li——

Because next, the crew will immediately go to the Maldives studio to start filming; then, Lan Li and Felicity will return to Los Angeles to participate in the Oscars. In Catherine's original words, "There is no need to alarm Lan Li for the time being. Everything will be discussed after the Oscar is over."

So, things were suppressed in this way, and Garris's ideas seemed to be implemented, and he naturally did not "sue" to Lan Li.

After the Oscars ended, Lan Li took the lead to return to London. On the one hand, he did participate in two private banquets. Alexander Hamilton was responsible for the matchmaking, which allowed Hall Ventures to enter the attention of more people; on the other hand, it was because of Catherine Kennedy's consciousness. To have to talk to Lan Li.

Catherine is a very smart woman. She did not directly face-to-face with Lan Li, but completed the connection through her husband Frank Marshall——

Because of Steven Spielberg’s relationship, Frank Marshall had a good relationship with Renly. During the preparations for the "Jurassic World", Frank always stood on the same front with Steven and chose to support Renly. Successfully promoted the rewards of Lan Li to break the Hollywood ceiling.

The blue gift, who was completely kept in the dark, kicked the iron plate for the first time since entering Hollywood. He really realized his youthfulness and ignorance in the field of producers——

Dedicated to performance work, Lan Li has achieved outstanding achievements in the role of actors, even "Rogue One" is no exception; but it also means that Lan Li is indifferent to the work of the producer. The state of the film often ignores the trends and changes of the crew.

More importantly, Lan Li still lacks the producer's overall perspective on the "profit maximization" of the entire film, which makes him suffer a small loss when facing Frank and Catherine.

Catherine made many comments on the script:

First of all, she doesn't like the ending of the entire army, "at least one needs to stay" to leave a spark for the sequel-and this is exactly what Lanly loves the whole story, and she hopes to continue the Marvel style. , Add some jokes and baggage to make the plot easier.

Secondly, she thinks that the characters are too much ink, lines and details are too much, which makes the whole script become bloated, and the narrative rhythm is also slowed down-which means that she needs to delete the actors' lines and delete the characters that shape the characters. Drama, this is in direct conflict with Lan Li's idea.

Thirdly, the fighting style is not compact and exciting enough, and Garis is good at scene scheduling but not good at action editing. This makes the battle scenes too focused on dialogue and not exciting enough. For commercial popcorn, it is a fatal flaw-she hopes that the movie can get up quickly. , Just like Marvel.

These are just summed up opinions. In the actual conversation, they were more trivial and fragmented, and all of them were unexpected by Lan Li.

Although Lanly also knows that it is very common to adjust the script during the shooting process, including "Jurassic World" also made many adjustments during the shooting process; but the situation of "Rogue One" is quite special——

Len Li has the right to make decisions on the script.

Before the filming officially started, Lan Li had already reviewed the script and agreed with the decision; now it needs to make drastic changes, even changing the script’s shaping of the main characters, sacrificing the characters for the rhythm of the popcorn, and then building the works according to the pipeline , This seems crowded and hasty.

After the filming has been going on for two months, things have become tricky, and Lan Li’s "performance rhythm" has also been broken.

Of course, in terms of facts, objectively speaking, some of Catherine’s ideas about the script are correct. She is the real producer’s perspective:

For example, in order to control the narrative rhythm, minimize battlefield dialogue, increase fighting scenes, and control scene scheduling with more crisp and neat editing, this is a necessary change for commercial films-it can be regarded as Garys in Some shortcomings and weaknesses encountered when shooting "Godzilla".

"Edge of Tomorrow" can be successful, Paul Greengrass' rhythm control and sharp editing are absolutely inseparable.

Regarding other details of the script, Lan Li is also willing to open up possibilities. Regardless of whether he is for or against, he can discuss and negotiate slowly. He can put forward his own opinions and opinions as an actor. Finally, Garys and the entire screenwriter team To complete the final integration, see which parts need to be adjusted and which parts are not, and seek room for improvement during the shooting process.

But Catherine’s abacus is much more than that.

She believes that Garys is indeed superior in scene scheduling and atmosphere creation, but still has shortcomings in rhythm control and special effects presentation.

She not only insisted that the script needs to be revised, but also that the crew needs to be adjusted. Maybe she should hire a second director to join the team to see if she can collide with Garis. She even gave a suggestion, Tony Gilroy.

Tony Gilroy is the elder brother of "Nightcrawler" director Dan Gilroy, and also a screenwriter. "The Devil's Advocate", "Peerless Tribulation", "The Bourne Shadow" series, etc. are all his works; In 2007, Tony collaborated with Frank Marshall and directed his first directorial work "Michael Clayton"-this work won seven Oscar nominations and eventually won the Best Supporting Actress Award, and later he also served as The director of "The Bourne Shadow 4".

From this small detail, it can be seen that Catherine’s whole idea is very clear. Even the director candidates for "assistance shooting" have been determined. Tony Gilroy’s characteristics are exactly what Catherine hopes to make up or improve. In part, there is an imperative attitude both inside and outside the words.

Len Li was sturdily killed and caught off guard, facing the well-prepared Frank Marshall and aggressive Catherine Kennedy, he was also a little bit unable to resist.

Obviously, as a producer, Lanly does have a lot to learn-how the producer should interfere with the director's work, which parts can interfere, and which parts should not interfere as much as possible; art films and commercial films, which ones Some parts should respect the characteristics of the author's film, and which parts need to be built according to the rules of the assembly line... and so on.

Without the "interference" of Renly, it would be difficult for Garris Edwards to stop Catherine.

Then, some of Lan Li’s questions can be answered:

For example, ~www.novelhall.com~ Later, "Range Solo"'s crew conflicts can be seen in "Rogue One", and then extended to other works in the "Star Wars series". In the end, Catherine chose The return of jj-Abrams to the Star Wars series is definitely not a casual choice.

For another example, the quality of the final product of "Rogue One" in the last generation is a little bit disharmonious, and it is also far from the style and characteristics of "Godzilla". Although the box office data still created good results, the media review only Sixty-five points, while the follow-up box office trend also lacks a little bit of tailing.

Garys did the best within his own ability, but for some things, he still couldn’t shake Catherine’s decision after all.

Now, Renly has become the biggest unknown factor-this is why Catherine did not like Bob Iger to choose Renly from the beginning.

The fact is also true. The first time we met, the other party had mental arithmetic, and Lan Li was completely downwind and kicked the iron plate; but afterwards, Lan Li calmed down, thought carefully, and after meeting and talking with Garis, he learned the whole thing. The ins and outs of the situation, and then he regained his footing.

There was a struggle between Lan Li and Catherine. From March to April, the tight atmosphere within the crew of "Rogue One" never dissipated——

If anyone is curious, why the paparazzi can’t find out about the crew, this is the answer.
