The Director of Music Department

Today's Wang Yifan, in China, can be said to be the number one director no matter what.

In terms of box office, his single box office is number one in the world.

In terms of cumulative box office, his cumulative box office is No. 1 in the country, and even in Asia.

In the past, some people might say that Wang Yifan lacked the recognition of heavyweight awards.

But now, even those people have shut up.

Because the best director of the Oscar, no matter what, even if you don't recognize it, it can't stand others. It is indeed the world's most influential film award at the moment.

And what about Chen Shaojun?

Although not as good as Wang Yifan, he is also a well-known director in China.

Compared with Chen Hang's veteran directors, he doesn't lose much.

A "King Kong" can be said to directly establish the reputation of the great director Chen Shaojun.

And "King Kong" is not only selling well in China, but also selling well abroad.

What he lacks is his seniority.

And this time, Chen Shaojun and James Liszt collaborated directly towards Oscar.

Although this "Legend of a Deserted Island" is definitely about public relations, it is mainly directed at the best actor of James Liszt.

But with hard work, it is not impossible to nominate the Oscar for best director.

For Wang Yifan, failing to win a prize may be a failure, especially for "Titanic", not winning a prize is a failure.

But for Chen Shaojun, and even many major directors in China, being nominated is a success.

If it weren't for Wang Yifan who won the Oscar, even the nomination would be touted by countless media.

Of course, for Chen Shaojun, this is also a brand new experience.

After all, the object of his cooperation this time, but the top Hollywood star, James Liszt.

James Liszt, it can be said that you can imagine the little plum in the previous life, and the two can be regarded as the target.

Cooperating with such a superstar itself is the greatest affirmation for Chen Shaojun.

Closer to home.

When Chen Shaojun heard Wang Yifan's words, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Actually, after having the shooting experience of "King Kong", to be honest, "Remaining on the Deserted Island" is really nothing."

This is really not Chen Shaojun bragging.

In fact, large-scale special effects production is far more difficult to shoot than those literary and artistic movies.

And Chen Shaojun has even gotten a special effects blockbuster like "King Kong", so how many people are there in the crew of "Remains of a Deserted Island"? Naturally, it is easy to catch.

"Is this what I asked?" Wang Yifan couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He certainly knows that Chen Shaojun has no problem in directing "Remains of a Deserted Island", because this movie actually does not have much room for the director, and it really depends on the actors.

By James Liszt!

Because he is the real core character of this movie.

"You mean James Liszt?" Chen Shaojun asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "How about? Do you have any feelings about working with Hollywood stars?"

Chen Shaojun smiled and said: "It's much better than I thought. Although James Liszt is a big name, he is not as difficult to touch as he imagined. On the contrary, he is a very good talker and very cooperative. To be honest, I started with I still feel that James Liszt is also an idol, right? After all, he is so handsome, but there are a lot of his face fans in China."

"What then?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"But in the end, people are really dedicated. The shooting has to be divided into two stages. One stage is before he lives on the deserted island, so he has already started to increase fat." Chen Shaojun said.

"Furthermore, he paid for a nutritionist himself. He also complained about physical problems. Although he eats a lot of high-calorie foods every day, the speed of weight gain can only be described by turtle speed. But people don't have the least bit of it. The complaint gave me a feeling. He seemed to think that this was a matter of course, and even promised me that he would be perfect by the time of shooting. What else can I say?" Chen Shaojun shook his head and smiled.

"There are also many good actors in China, but to be honest, many times, some actors have become famous and big names, but they have idol baggage in China, various requirements, and so many outrageous... Okay, there are some actors who can't bear the hardship at all. They want to change their accent, and even kill them." Chen Shaojun couldn't help but vomit.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "You are too naive. Do you really think that James Liszt is different from those big-name actors in China?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Shaojun asked suspiciously.

"That's because you are just the director, and for this movie, to be honest, the director is not the most important thing. This is Hollywood, the producer-centric system, forget it?" Wang Yifan smiled and shook his head.

joke? James Liszt's good contact? Dedicated?

Oh, yes, dedication is really dedication, but his agent and his team are equally dedicated and professional.

Hollywood stars are dedicated, such as appearance and requirements, they can basically do it.

But in other respects, Hollywood stars are much more difficult to deal with than domestic stars.

That is because "Legend of a Deserted Island" is a one-man show by James Liszt, there are no actors in the film who can compare with him.

Therefore, Chen Shaojun felt that James Liszt asked less.

But actually?

"Do you know that when James Liszt joined a movie before, there were hundreds of notes when he signed with the crew. I don't know exactly which details are there, but the details of the hundreds, what do you think of James? Liszt is good?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"Isn't it? Why haven't I heard of such a contract here?" Chen Shaojun couldn't help but slap his tongue a little.

In fact, top superstars like James Liszt give you the feeling that they are in good contact, at least they don’t play big names, but that’s because you didn’t see them at all when they played big names.

For example, drinking, eating, living, these are the most basic, big stars will have special requirements.

There are also many personal habits of celebrities, and the same will be included in the contract details.

"Because of this film, James Liszt is the no-name producer himself, and he is also an investor. At the same time, this film is still his one-man show, so do you think he is necessary?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Only then did Chen Shaojun scratch his head.

"Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you as a director. In fact, Hollywood is the strongest here. There are many details that do not need the director to worry about, because the crew has dedicated people responsible for various things. Even if you have trouble, you won’t find a director to deal with it, unless there’s really no way.”

Yes, it is common for a Hollywood crew to have seven, eight, eight or nine, or even more than ten associate directors, and each of them has its own division of labor.

The director is more just responsible for controlling the audience, and others will naturally handle the rest!
