The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 217 The more difficult the more attentively
In mid-April, Wang Wei visited the crew of "Fury Road".

The project "Fury Road" is a joint investment between Dunhuang's Shuguang sub-label and a small film company, and Dunhuang leads from production to post-release.

Therefore, director Lu Le welcomed Wang Wei's visit very much. When the latter arrived at the crew, he immediately pulled Wang Wei into a high-level talk, and even the filming of the crew was suspended.

This is not only because Wang Wei is one of the investors, but——

"Some of the ideas you came up with were really cool! Especially the use of tall poles to bounce an attacker from one speeding car to another was insane and will definitely become an iconic memory of the film ..."

Yes, Wang Wei combined with the memory of "Mad Max 4" in another time and space, and provided the crew with many ideas. Director Lu Le obviously appreciates it, and wants to turn these ideas into reality one by one.

For example, in order to realize the above-mentioned pole stunt, the crew tried many kinds of materials to make the poles, from bamboo to carbon fiber, and finally they chose high-elastic steel, which is both strong and elastic;
The rods would be fixed on hydraulic bearings and would be oscillated by someone else manipulating the counterweight for a more natural motion.

In addition, there are fire-breathing electric guitars, heavy locomotives driven by the heroine...

Director Lu Le was full of praise: "I thought I was the only director with absurd and cult style in China, but it must be difficult to find colleagues who share the same language. There is also research on style, a genius is indeed a genius!"

Facing her fanatical praise, what can Wang Wei say?I can only ask casually: "Can the special effects team still use it?"

"It works, and it's very easy to use!" Director Lu Le said with admiration.

The special effects production of this movie was contracted by Dunhuang Special Effects Studio - to some extent, this is also one of the main purposes of Dunhuang's investment in this project, to improve its own special effects production level.

The difficulty and pattern of special effects and stunt scenes in "Fury Road" require unimaginable cooperation and efforts. For example, the crew did not use traditional scripts, but produced 1500 storyboards, including nearly 4000 storyboards. The picture is the final script.

Wang Wei listened carefully.

After all, as a director, it is impossible for him to give up shooting blockbuster special effects, so he also began to understand and learn related knowledge.

No, he got some inspiration from the other party.

However, since they were filming after all, it was not easy for the two to talk much.After asking the crew to wait for a while, director Lu Le started filming.

However, she was very considerate and took other people's scenes first, so that Shen Zhenyi would be free to receive Wang Wei's visit.

"Now I completely understand why the career of a director can be regarded as high-yielding if he can make one movie every one or two years on average!"

Shen Zhenyi took Wang Wei to the dressing room, slumped on the sofa with a tired face and complained,

"In the process of making a film, directors and producers have to pay more attention to things than actors."

As the leading actor who brought money into the group, Shen Zhenyi also serves as a producer—not in a name, but to actually complete the work of a producer. This is also a new direction for her career development that she has planned for herself.

"You're just not used to being a producer."

As someone who has experienced it, Wang Wei comforted his girlfriend and said,
"After you get used to it, the job of a producer is still relatively easy-this job can be said to be in charge of everything, but it can also be ignored. The most important thing is to manage money and people well, and leave the rest to the director. Alright. Some great producers can supervise and produce several films at the same time."

For example, he himself is the representative of this kind of hands-off producer.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do." Shen Zhenyi muttered.

Well, Wang Wei knew it, and there were other reasons——

As for Shen Zhenyi's film after winning the double best actress, few people in the circle are optimistic about it, because it seems to have concentrated several major elements of a bad film:
Eager to prove herself, but also skyrocketing, young and energetic, without setbacks as the leading actor; especially she also worked part-time as an investor and producer, so that no one in the crew can say no to her decision; of course, there are relatively lacking qualifications director of...

It can be said that in the eyes of many insiders, the "curse of the actress" is no exception to her.

Under such circumstances, this little girl has put a lot of effort into this movie, how could she just let it go?
"And acridine, this movie is expected to be released at the end of the year, and the Big Five have 'intimately' arranged for a strong competitor to be released at the same time. As a producer, can I not think too much?"

"Okay, so what new ideas do you have?"

In this regard, Wang Wei can only spread his hands.

"You said, how about I make this movie a feminist movie?"

"Feminist colors!?"

Wang Wei frowned.

Has this wind finally blown from the other side of the Pacific Ocean?
In fact, Wang Wei has no opinion on feminism itself.

Because he knows very well that the so-called equal rights, in the final analysis, are caused by some groups' dissatisfaction with the current society's cake-sharing mechanism.

It should be said that in many cases, this dissatisfaction is justified.

This society is indeed unfair to many people.

But the problem is that a good scripture can easily be misrepresented by the crooked monk——

For example, when enjoying the benefits, ask for "equal rights" - let the other party give up a part;

When fulfilling the obligations, "equal rights" are also required - let the other party bear more;

No way, like to enjoy rights and benefits, but unwilling to fulfill obligations and responsibilities, is a common problem of most people.

Of course, Wang Wei was just thinking about it casually. After all, he is neither a savior nor a stubborn conservative.

He can still understand Shen Zhenyi's intention to add feminist color to the movie——

"You're trying to fuel the publicity with feminist gimmicks, aren't you?"

Shen Zhenyi gave him a blank look, "This is not a gimmick, the theme is already feminist, and it's a heroine, and the director is also a woman, it's just following the trend."

"Well, you're right." Wang Wei nodded with a smile and said, "However, Xiaozhen, you should know that these are gimmicks in front of the quality of the film. As a producer and starring role, the most important thing is to Make the movie better."

"I know, the harder it is, the more attentive you are, right?" Shen Zhenyi wrinkled her nose.

"I knew you would want to go with me. That's right, the more severe the situation of the five major suppressions, the more unrelenting the quality of the movie." Wang Wei kissed Xiaonizi lightly.

"Speaking of which, the quality can't be guaranteed. The current publicity of your "Tang Bohu" is not good!"
