" We seem to be able to foresee the fall of a new star director.”
"This movie that is currently in the midst of filming already has all the potential to be a bad movie.”
"According to the photos and information revealed by the official account, it's probably about a theme related to music.”
"Has Ryan Gosling made any good films in recent years? In the past 10 years, there hadn't been a movie with an imdb-score of 8 or higher.”
"The female lead is even funnier. She always acts in comedy movies. Dare I ask if Emma Stone can sing or dance? Was this musical also a comedy? This is simply nonsense."
"A newly established production company a director with no musical experience an awkward lead = a lousy film!”
As La La Land was announced, many media outlets reported on Xuan's new movie.
As a new Chinese director, Xuan's first movie, Smart: When Paranormal Activity stopped screening, the box office earnings were fixed at 245 million USD!
Coupled with his " provocation " of Hollywood's golden age, his popularity was not low.
Almost all the media were using magnifying glasses to watch Xuan's progress.
Some media outlets maintained a positive attitude.
Because musics seemed to be declining rapidly in the past decade.
Everyone gradually abandoned this genre of film.
The labels of old-fashioned, unintelligible, and unoriginal made young people sneer at musics.
As a 21-year-old young director, Xuan might be able to use the power of novelty to bring musics back to the public eye.
Through Paranormal Activity, Xuan had amassed a number of fans.
His personal social media account had more than three million fans.
Everyone was looking forward to Xuan's new film.
There were also quite a few media outlets that used sharp voices to criticize Xuan.
For example, the Cricket Entertainment News, New York Times, and Washington Post all wrote articles criticizing Xuan's new film.
The male and female leads of the film were also interviewed by the media.
Ryan Gosling said," I don't think you can't shoot well without experience.”
"Everyone in the production team has witnessed Chu Li's talent.”
"As the soul of a musical, Chu's music has completely subverted my understanding.”
"I believe that when the time comes, you will all stand up and cheer for him in the cinema.”
Emma Stone smiled and said,"
"You said I don't know how to sing and dance? He smiled."
"During the early stages of filming, I had singing and dance lessons every day, and I practiced until midnight every time.”
"When the time comes, you will understand that this movie is worth all the sweat and effort.”
"I'm happy to act in Xuan's movie.”
"He made a condition that I couldn't refuse.”
The criticism from the media was mainly focused on the director and the two main actors.
However, they had neglected the crew.
If the director was the chief designer of the movie, then the cameraman was the person who helped the director realize it.
Van Hotma and Wally Pfister were the chief photographers that Xuan had hired with a high salary.
In his previous life, they were both the exclusive cameramen of Director Nolan.
Van Hotma was nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars for Interstellar and won eight heavyweight Best Cinematography awards.
Wally Pfister was in Memento, Batman: The photographer of The Dark Paladin.
He was also good at a variety of photography styles, and the effects of his shots were very visual.
In the parallel world, they had yet to become Nolan's personal photographers.
At this time, Chris Nolan was still filming a niche art film in Britain.
Xuan, of course, didn't hold back and poached Nolan's team, signing them under his company.
In the future, they would be the core members of the Chu family's class.
Of course, La La Land wouldn't be as cold as The Dark Paladin.
However, this bright and colorful style was obviously not difficult for the two master photographers.
As for the composer, Xuan had directly poached the original composer of La La Land, Justin Hurvitz.
When he found Justin Hurvitz, he was still a keyboard player in an underground band in Los Santos.
Justin Hurvitz couldn't believe that such a famous new director would find him!
"I have some very mature melodies that I need your help to compose. Is there a problem?”
"No problem!"
She could participate in the filming of movies, get a high salary, and play some guitar at the same time.
Who would want to be in an underground band that had no idea what to do next?
It was these seemingly insignificant but talented crew members who built the cornerstone of the entire movie.
They would also be the first generation members of the " Chu Family Class " and continue to shoot shocking movies.
……
Under Xuan's direction, La La Land progressed smoothly.
At the same time, the second film invested by Infinite Pictures, The Silence of the Lambs, had also begun preparations.
Ever since Elizabeth Olsen received the script, she couldn't wait.
Xuan had been busy directing these days, so she had been reading the script carefully at home.
She even signed up for the FBI agent training course according to the settings of the female protagonist's intern agent!
Hollywood produced hundreds of movies every year, including police films and spy films.
The military training of the FBI could also help actors get into the right state.
With Xuan's encouragement, Elizabeth Olsen went through half a month of training and gradually became a qualified female agent.
Shooting training, combat training, tactical training, even special driving, physical fitness, law, intelligence gathering, and so on…
Sister Ao was exhausted from training every day.
But when she talked to Xuan on the phone at night, her fatigue would disappear.
They were now in a state where they were more than friends but not lovers.
The two lonely people were in Luo Shengdu, and chatting with each other could relieve the pressure.
"I've been exhausted recently. My back is sore today and I can't move at all.”
"Then won't you be able to take on a lot of female leads in police films in the future? Such a role was still very popular.”
"Yes, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered.”
"I just wanted you to feel the role.”
"By the way, have you confirmed the male lead for this movie?”
"Not yet. He's an experienced actor and is still reading the script for the time being. I wonder if he'll agree to play the villain.”
Xuan wasn't confident about the characters in Parallel World, even though they were the same as in his previous life.
As he was a British actor, he was not permanently stationed in Los Santos.
So it took Xuan a lot of effort to find this veteran actor.
As they were talking, Xuan received a message from the manager.
"Mr. Anthony Hopkins has read the script and is happy to act in your company's movie.”
"We'll arrive at Luo Shengdu the day after tomorrow morning. We can talk about it when we have time.”
Then, he told the good news to Sister Ao, which made her very excited.
"That's great. I've seen his 'Fatal Moment,''The Years of Passion,' and '84 Cross Street'. He's an outstanding actor!”
He didn't expect Sister Ao to be a fan of the veteran movie.
"Although this movie is counting on his performance, your acting skills are also very important." I need all of you to act together to make the movie even more brilliant. It's quite challenging. Are you confident?"
"I'm confident! Don't worry, Chu, I'll definitely perform well!”
Elizabeth Olsen was filled with fighting spirit!
