Movie Master

Javier quietly looked at the man in front of him, who was much younger and more charming than he imagined.

He is a social reporter, and his understanding of entertainment is very limited. In his impression, the directors are all middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, with big beards, messy hair, and simple and casual clothes. He exudes the breath of an artist all over his body, and then has a weird temper, and loses his temper when he moves on the set. However, the man in front of him was not.

A simple linen shirt hangs down casually on the body, but one can vaguely see the sturdy figure looming in the golden sunlight, and even the slowly sliding sweat beads can be clearly seen; there is no trace of black hair in short and medium length. Deliberately taking care of it, a few strands of broken hair hang down on the forehead, adding a touch of softness to the heroic eyebrows; the eyebrows and eyes are suddenly raised, listening intently to what the people around them are reporting, the deep and clear A glimpse of the blue eyes, as if amazed by the time, the whole time and space stopped.

This man completely overturned Javier's impression of directors, and even overturned his impression of actors. In Havel's impression, the director is Steven-Spielberg (Steven-Spielberg) and George-Lucas (George-Lucas), and the actors are Harrison-Ford (Harrison-Ford), Tom - The look of Tom-Hanks.

Albert walked up and whispered something in the man's ear. The man raised his head, nodded in the direction of Javier and Martin, and then continued to discuss with the people next to him. Albert walked over quickly and explained politely, Lance is currently busy filming. This scene was interrupted in the middle of the filming the day before yesterday. I hope you can understand. Please wait by the side first.

Javier waved his hand politely, It's okay, we took the initiative to come here without an appointment and disturb the normal work of the crew. Watching the filming of the crew right next to it.

Only then did Javier notice that there were only eight crew members in the entire crew, and almost everyone was busy preparing for the filming. As a director, Lance has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he doesn't even have time to light a cigarette.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the work came to an end temporarily. The young actors who had just started filming all stood on the side of the street, and then Albert ran to the next street, leading the mighty crowd away Come here, there are at least three hundred people in that posture. At the same time, other staff members loaded props onto the bus one after another, as if preparing to move the shooting location.

In an instant, the entire crew became noisy, like a tribe preparing to migrate.

After explaining the matter, Lance walked over quickly, with a warm smile on his face, his apologetic smile could be heard from a distance, and he didn't even need to say anything, it was enough to clearly express the sincere emotions in his heart , I'm really sorry, because of my personal relationship, work was delayed, I hope you will not fall asleep here.

Javier couldn't help laughing, It's a rare opportunity to watch the birth of film art in the crew. A polite sentence made the atmosphere harmonious, Good afternoon, sir, I'm Javier-Ulier , a reporter from the 'New York Times'; this is...

Mr. Martin-Artur. Lance stretched out his right hand, accepted Javier's introduction, and shook hands with Martin, I hope I remember correctly. This made Martin laugh out loud. , Lancelot Strelo, nice to meet you.

Javier looked at the migrating crew and was a little curious. It just so happened that a little bit of politeness was needed to make the transition, so he was about to ask a question, but Lance preemptively said, The crew is now preparing to move to the next shooting location , it’s not far from here, if you don’t mind, we can talk while walking.” The subtext is that after arriving at the shooting location, he will start working again.

Martin turned his head to look at Javier. When facing the crew, he thought Javier was more friendly. Javier knew very little about the work of the crew. He obviously did not expect the interview time to be so short, but after thinking about it, the days ahead are still long, so he nodded, Of course, of course.

Lance made an inviting gesture, and then led the way ahead, Javier and Martin quickly followed up one after the other, So, I think you are not here to report on the work I am shooting Right? It was still Lance who had the initiative, Martin was stunned by his words, and Javier was about to deny it, but Lance smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't mind too much, About what happened that day Our entire crew was caught off guard by the sudden situation, but if there is anything that can help, please feel free to say so.”

Javier was obviously not well prepared, so he didn't answer the conversation for a while, and finally Martin took the initiative to say, What happened that day? Why did Stealing Chicken Man/Nu/er surround the entire crew? Why did he To kidnap you?

Kidnapping? Hehe, no, no, that's not the case. Lance shook his head again and again, with an absurd smile on his face, Although he did use strong means to force me to submit, I wouldn't call it kidnapping. Lance suppressed his smile slightly, lowered his eyes, and seemed to be organizing his words. The pool under the thick eyelashes was clear, with a trace of bitterness that was fleeting, and then replaced by firmness.

Javier noticed this detail.

The thing is, Man/Nu/Er is not satisfied with our filming here. On the one hand, we have affected the lives of local residents, and on the other hand, because the description of the slums in our script is too cruel and too He was worried that it would have a bad influence on the teenagers. So, he hoped to have a face-to-face conversation with me. We had a formal conversation, and he was persuaded by me to allow the crew to continue filming here.

Lance used as concise and straightforward words as possible to describe the process in a simple way, without even mentioning any stimulating or negative words, everything was so understated. This made both Javier and Martin a little astonished - the style of painting is completely wrong!

So, you're saying that Stealing Chicken Man/Nu/Er didn't threaten the crew or coerce you? Martin was so surprised that his voice lost control.

Lance shrugged with a chuckle, I can only say that different people choose different ways. Just like you, conversation is definitely the main means of communication, while for me, the camera is a means of expressing thoughts. Lance did not Affirmation, and no negation, but the subtext is meaningful.

You were not injured, and the chicken stealing Man/nu/er didn't shoot? Martin still couldn't believe it, so he couldn't help asking again. But Javier thought of the fleeting bitterness in Lance's eyes just now, and fell silent thoughtfully.

Lance shook his head again, and patted his two arms by the way, indicating that he was not injured. This made Martin obviously show a disappointed expression, and even Javier seemed a little less interested-it was originally a sensational national event. It's really disappointing that Lance actually brought it up with such an understatement.

Before planning all this, Lance knew that things must be done in moderation, and absolutely not go wrong.

Because Lance clearly knows that if something really gets serious, someone is injured, or even someone dies, and it becomes a big event that stirs up Brazil, or even becomes an international event between Brazil and the United States, then it will be overwhelming and everyone's focus will be on the spot will be transferred to bloodshed or armed conflict, but no one will remember what started the conflict. This is completely contrary to Lance's original purpose.

What Lance needs is to use his strength to make people pay attention to the work City of God for the first time through Ryan's plan.

City of God is a work that no one will pay attention to. First, it is a foreign language work of Brazilian origin. Second, it is a work about another world. Third, it is a work with an investment of only three million US dollars. A small-cost work, in the end this is a work whose publicity costs are infinitely close to zero.

In other words, barring some unforeseen event, getting people's attention to the City of God is an impossible task. But now, facing Ryan's downfall, Lance resorted to tricks and created an unexpected event that made people notice the City of God for the first time.

However, the focus can only be limited to the City of God. The incident is too small, and the United States will not care at all; the incident is too large, and the focus is easy to blur. However, this is not an easy task. To be precise, it is a very difficult task, and Martin and Javier in front of us are crucial-to be precise, the media played an important role, and Lance All that needs to be done is to use the media correctly and skillfully!

However, they are holding heavy weapons, directly confronting all media reporters, and laughing arrogantly there. Isn't this provoking us? Martin was still a little unwilling. He even forgot Javier and directly Speak up. Because if Lance said so, his big talk in front of the editor-in-chief today would be empty words, and he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Lance didn't seem to notice Martin's reluctance, It's a fact, I don't deny it. Lance's words made Martin and Javier's eyes shine, But at the same time, I must also say that people know too much about slums. Too little. We always stand on the other side of the river to watch this area, simply and crudely think that the people here are all uneducated, dangerous, and potential criminal suspects... This is obviously wrong . And that's why I made this movie.

Movies? Martin said in surprise, but then he realized he was being rude—he didn't remember movies at all. Javier, who was standing next to him, took the initiative to stand up and cover for the temporary partner, So, how did you think of shooting this movie in the first place?

This is it! Lance's left thumb tightened slightly, but soon let go.
