Liang Kun went to Spielberg''s villa the next morning and sent the script and plan of escape from the secret room.
This time he didn''t estimate the amount, just said what he needed to shoot. Because he doesn''t understand the prices in the United States, he is not responsible for preparing props, and the estimated amount is certainly inaccurate. Several secret rooms must be built. How to do it must be decided by professionals.
Paramount Pictures is rich and powerful. Maybe it will give more budget to the film, so Liang Kun doesn''t have to be polite, and the quality of the film will be higher.
Liang Kun and Spielberg''s family are already familiar. At noon, he proposed to cook and bring out a table of Chinese food. Sasha and Kate Capshaw, who wanted to learn Chinese food, watched in the kitchen for a while and were amazed.
Spielberg asked, "how about it? Do you think you can learn it?"
Kate shook her head and sighed, "it''s impossible. If his cooking method is photographed with a camera and sent to the Internet, it''s estimated that many people will think it''s special effects or fast forward."
At dinner, Sasha asked curiously, "Liang, how did you practice like this? Aren''t you afraid to cut it so fast?"
"I''ve practiced for many years before I have the current knife. It''s impossible to cut my hand with muscle memory. If I slow down to cook, I don''t do so well. I''ll feel uncomfortable."
There are similarities between Chinese cooking and computer fast typing. Without him, but familiar.
Keyboard men must be typing blindly. If they are allowed to look at the keyboard, they will be very uncomfortable and slow down.
At this dinner, we talked not only about new scripts and movies, but also about music.
Liang Kun gave Sawyer''s own EP record as a gift. The Spielberg family had heard it before the record was released. They all thought the two songs were very good, and Liang Kun''s violin performance was equally wonderful.
Liang Kun didn''t leave immediately after dinner. The children in Spielberg suggested that he play for a while before leaving. There are advanced piano and violin at home. He played several songs. The piano level is better than Sasha''s piano teacher.
He played he''s a pirate on the violin. There was also rock house jail, a song from brave invasion of the deadly Island, which won warm applause.
His level of these instruments is not top, but his level B skills are also professional. He can hold concerts and perform two passages at random in the famous Conservatory of music. There is no pressure to be a teacher. There are not many people stronger than him, that is, the top musicians in the world.
Liang Kun''s "singing skills" are class A, but they haven''t reached class S. he knows how powerful class A is. After mixing in the music world for several years, he has never seen a male singer who is more violent than his high pitch. Compared with Sun Nan and Liu Huan, he is confident that he will win because he is more angry.
After playing music for a while, Sasha became Liang fan. She was born in 1990, much younger than liang Kun, otherwise she would like to find Liang Kun as a boyfriend. She felt that having a boyfriend like Liang Kun would definitely be the envy of many people.
Spielberg secretly sighed that his children were not successful compared with Liang Kun, and the gap was too big.
"What''s your plan next? It takes time for the project approval and preliminary preparation of the film, and it won''t start shooting immediately." Spielberg asked.
"I want to study in other people''s crew. I''ve called Christopher Nolan and he allowed me to watch the crew of deadly magic." Liang Kun plans to guest play as an associate director without salary.
"Nolan is indeed a very promising director and has great ideas in narration. Go and have a look. I think you two can talk. Among the young new directors, I am most optimistic about you." Spielberg feels that birds of a feather flock together. Both of them like to open their brains.
Liang Kun knows better than Spielberg what height Nolan will reach in the future. He will become one of the most famous commercial film directors in the world and will certainly rank among the top ten in Hollywood in 2019. Because he is young and still shooting, he will have a higher status in the future.
At present, Liang Kun''s "film and television drama directing" skill is 38% of grade C, and the promotion is very slow. Before filming the lost lover, he had to be promoted to level B.
Therefore, he completely does not consider returning home during this period. Returning home is a vacation, and there can be no progress. If he wants to become a top director in Hollywood, he must work hard at first.
Now there is such a crew suitable for him to study. There is no shop after this village. He doesn''t want to miss it. On January 16, "deadly magic" began shooting in Los Angeles.
When it comes to Nolan, people first think of pieces of memory, the dark knight and inception. Fatal magic is a work that is easy to be ignored, and its position is a little awkward.
In fact, this film based on well-known science fiction plays a transitional role in Nolan''s work sequence. It is the end of Nolan narrative 1.0 and the beginning of 2.0.
As early as the end of 2001, the publishers of Nolan''s first two films bought the copyright of fatal magic. Nolan was busy with the post production of insomnia, so he asked his brother Jonathan Nolan to adapt the script of fatal magic.
The film made a substantial adaptation of the novel. In the novel, the story begins when Boden''s descendants receive an autobiography written by their magician ancestors, and then leads to Boden and angel. However, neither Boden nor angel told the truth. Readers can get the final truth by piecing together the false. In the film, the plot of future generations is completely cut off. The final ending of the novel is also more exaggerated than the film. Angel becomes a ghost and takes revenge on Boden.
Nolan''s brother Jonathan is also a talent. His adapted script is very wonderful and avoids too many elements.
Significant changes and difficulties in visualization led to a long development cycle of fatal magic, which did not start production until January this year.
In order to reproduce the texture of London at the end of the 19th century, Nathan Crowley, the film''s art director, searched for more than 70 locations in Los Angeles and finally determined four locations as the setting of film Magic: the Los Angeles Theater, the Palace Theatre, the Belasco, and the tower theater with a history of nearly 100 years.
The film was made in Los Angeles. Liang Kun just asked Li Renjie to drive him to the shooting site and pick him up in the evening. He can only bear to follow the crew without salary. The crew has long determined the main creators. Unless he knew Nolan a few months ago, he may become a regular second deputy director.
It is impossible for Liang Kun to play a leading role or an important role in the film, not only because he is Chinese. The crew specially invited professional magicians to conduct special magic training for the two men. Nolan also personally consulted the data of many magic masters. The role had been set long before they knew each other.
Teresa Palmer wanted to go to the big crew and have a long experience. She wanted to rob Li Renjie''s job and be an assistant to Liang Kun. Li Renjie was very embarrassed. Fortunately, Liang Kun refused.
"No, if you want to make progress, go out to a training class to learn acting. You can''t learn anything from the crew. Besides, what will others think when I take you?"
"Then I won''t go." Talisa is the one who listens to Liang Kun most. She''s afraid he won''t care about her after he gets angry.
If she goes, she can''t help talking to Liang Kun, which will affect his learning.
Liang Kun is very serious and absorbed in her study. Talisa has seen it. She will never do it to this extent. If she interrupts Liang Kun''s thinking, the other party may be angry.
On February 1, Liang Kun started work at the beginning of the year and went to the crew to meet Nolan early.
"Hello, Mr. Nolan. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to see the shooting."
"Hello, Liang, you can call me Chris." the two shook hands.
Christopher''s name is too long. For simplicity, it''s called Chris. Many European and American names have abbreviations.
Many people recognize Liang Kun. He has been on the news recently. He is known as a Chinese genius and a recognized all-round talent.
Nolan said with a smile, "I read happy death day and your novel. They are all very wonderful."
"There is still a big gap between me and you. Your film is really wonderful. I lack experience in filming, so I came to learn from you." Liang Kun smiled and had a wave of business talk with Nolan.
"You are too modest. The news says that you only spent 20 days filming happy death, and director Spielberg praises you for your unlimited potential. If he is so optimistic about you, you will be more and more successful," Nolan praised.
"You are his favorite person, ha."
The two chatted with each other, which was a bit of pity.
In Nolan''s opinion, Liang Kun and he are a kind of people with rich imagination. They have played tricks in making movies and writing books. He enjoyed the reversal in the lost lover very much. In addition, Liang Kun is younger than when he first directed feature films.
Liang Kun admires Nolan even more, because he makes a good film by opening and hanging, with water. His ability to do things well is directly related to the systematic assistance and strong spiritual attributes.
Nolan is really open-minded, with the strength of hard practice. Although many people think he is overestimated because he has not won the best Oscar and golden ball, there is no doubt about his talent.
"Happy death day" has been shooting for 20 days, which is very fast. Nolan''s "memory fragments" was shot in 1998, and the shooting time was only 25 days, while Nolan was only 28 years old that year. In terms of artistic level, it is general, but in terms of structural innovation, it has indeed reached the peak.
There are many classic films playing with structure in film history. Vulgar novel is a "circular narrative", two big cigarette guns is a "multi-threaded narrative", but the narrative structure of memory fragments is difficult to be summarized in accurate words.
Nolan was very interested in Liang Kun''s novels and asked, "have you ever thought of adapting the lost lover into a film?"
"Of course, and I''m going to direct this film myself in the future. Now I''m not confident to make it well, so I came to learn from you."
"Can you just watch the shooting?"
"I used to learn when I was an actor. When filming, you don''t care about me. I can understand how much I can learn." Liang Kun smiled.
If he asks Nolan a lot of questions, he will be annoying and will affect the shooting work
