The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The production process of a large-scale film by a large production company is always extremely cumbersome and complicated. The preliminary preparation may take a year or two or even more time; and the post-production may take a year and a half or even longer. The filming process itself requires a lot of time and energy. It is not surprising that a movie often needs to preset three years from project approval to release. As for the "Avatar" series, it is not surprising .

But in the face of such a situation, Renly was still a novice.

"Jurassic World" has been going around for more than a year and a half before, but most of the time it has nothing to do with Renly, but the entanglement and repetition within Universal Pictures. After a month of filming, and a busy awards season, Renly didn't experience much waiting.

Now "Rogue One" is different. The contract was signed in January, and the script was not seen in September, and then the expected shooting time was further delayed. It feels like there is no end to the waiting, just like a marathon with no end in sight. In addition to exhaustion, a sense of absurdity inevitably breeds.

"According to common sense, this is a precursor to the impending failure of the project. It is no wonder that during the preparation process of so many projects, the directors and actors have changed one after another, and the final version and the original intention of the project are far away. Guess, you shouldn't give up on 'Star Wars' so easily."

Renly's teasing made Andy feel a little helpless, but, as Renly said, he had a special and contradictory mood about the "Star Wars" series. At this time, he knew that Renly was joking, but he couldn't laugh at all. Come out, "What, do you think, this is bad news, could it screw up?"

Andy's worrying about gains and losses is really rare, which makes Renly feel lighter, "I don't know, I haven't seen the script yet, remember? If I can predict, maybe in January, I will There will be no signings, and we will not face such a dilemma now, what do you think?"

"Renly... I'm not joking, I'm serious." Andy rolled his eyes, he really wasn't in the mood for a joke.

Renly looked innocent, "I'm serious too, Andy, I never joke about work." The serious words made Andy choked, because Renly was telling the truth, but then Renly continued said, "Very well, we can now discuss the possibility of applying for termination."

Andy couldn't help holding his breath.

Sitting on the other end of the phone, Renly could clearly detect Andy's breathing choking, but that kind of tension and anxiety had never been seen before, "Haha." Renly burst into laughter, "Andy, I'm here. Just kidding, relax, everything can be decided after the script is out." Just when Andy was a little relieved, Renly continued, "If you want to cancel the contract, it will be too late to let Matthew out."

"..." Take a deep breath, Andy, take a deep breath, "..." Andy kept admonishing himself in his heart, and then said very seriously, "Can I hang up?"

Renly's smile burst into full bloom, and sure enough, people with a child's heart are always particularly cute, "Sorry, Andy, now back to the topic. You called me today, definitely not to complain about Katherine Kennedy, So, what kind of job offer came up?"

"Yorgos-lanthimos. Have you heard his name?" Andy also calmed down and returned to business, his tone and tone returned to normal.

The native Greek native Orgus Lanthimos can be regarded as a late blooming director, because Greek movies have completely declined in modern times, and the entire film production environment is far from being outstanding, which limits Orgus to a certain extent. It was not until he was twenty-eight years old in 2001 that he made his debut "My Best Friend".

Of course, compared to those directors who only became enlightened at the age of forty and fifty, it is more appropriate for Oggs' "late bloomer" to "become famous at a young age", because since his debut, Oggs has gradually formed With his own style, the cold wide-angle and abrupt soundtrack create the absurdity and ridicule in the play, and the black temperament is always permeating it.

In 2009, Oggs directed his third work, "Dog Tooth", which was shortlisted for a kind of attention unit at the Cannes Film Festival, and won the kind of attention award, making the Greek film that has been silent for many years renewed. Appeared in front of the world, and finally made it to the top five seats in the next year's Oscar for best foreign language film, laying its reputation in the industry.

After that, Ogles climbed up almost step by step, and in just ten years, he joined Paul Thomas Anderson, Wes Anderson and other directors as outstanding creators after the new century.

Oggs is not a prolific director, starting with "Dogtooth" in 2009, and in the ten-year period of 2019, he has only six works in total - including "Dogtooth".

In 2010, as a producer rather than a director, and in the work "Attenborough", which he participated in, was shortlisted for the main competition of the Venice Film Festival, and finally won the Best Actress Award; in 2011, "Alps", self-edited In 2017, "Death of the Sacred Deer", written and directed, won the Best Screenplay Award in the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival.

Then in 2018, Oggs directed his first non-screenwriter work, "The Favourite", which quickly became his professional pro.

The first peak of his career, he first won the Grand Jury Prize and two trophies for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival; and then he won ten nominations at the Oscars, including the Best Picture, Best Director, two Best A series of nominations such as supporting actress, and finally won the best actress.

It is no exaggeration to say that the rise of Oggs is very fast and fierce, and almost every shot can be rewarded, and he has not missed since "Dog Tooth". The entire creative inspiration is in a peak state, and it seems to have become an indispensable part of the European film field——

And then also established a firm foothold in the English-language film world. Not all European art directors are able to make their mark on the English-language film market.

Here must mention Oggs' first English work: "The Lobster".

This work, which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, is set in a fictional near-future society where the marriage and love of residents are strictly controlled. According to the rules, singles were to be collectively transferred to a hotel, they had to find a matching partner within forty-five days, and the loser was transformed into an animal of choice and exiled into the forest. To extend the forty-five-day period, the singles in the hotel go out to the forest to hunt other singles on the run.

The background of the whole story continues the black absurdity of Oggs. From "Dog Tooth" to "The Death of the Sacred Deer", Oggs is always good at digging out a small part in contemporary society and grabbing it out. The problems in it, and then set up a bizarre and almost sci-fi framework, give the story a utopian perspective, and then reflect social problems, which is undoubtedly the signature feature of Oggs' work.

Because the style of Ogus's work is so distinctive and so unique that it becomes a kind of icon. Audiences who like it think that this is the interpretation of the Ogus team, and the audience can always get inspiration from it; audiences who don't catch a cold think that Ogus' story is too absurd and too strange to be lost. The sense of realism cannot show the true style of the director at all; as for the annoying audience, they think the story is a mess and don't know what to say.

But it is undeniable that the "Favourite" in 2018 was Oggs' first attempt to film someone else's script, which also made many audiences express their sighs: after the lack of the cold and weird "siege" texture, Ougels Gus doesn't seem to be Ogus anymore. Some people like it and some people reject it, but after all, he still misses the distinctive and unique Greek director before - but the audience's embarrassment did not prevent this work from becoming Ogus breaking the niche. The footsteps of shackles into the mainstream have undoubtedly become the first peak of his international fame, and a huge breakthrough has been made in his career.

By the way, "Lobster" is a work released in 2015.

At the moment of 2014, Oggs, who has won countless attention with "Dog Tooth" and "Alps", has entered a short period of creative precipitation. It took him nearly three years to find inspiration and polish the script, and then left After learning the creative field of the Greek film industry that he is familiar with, he went to the UK to find opportunities to open up his career. "Lobster" was born under such a background.

In fact, at this time, Oggs has already established a firm foothold in the European continent. He is not short of actors who are willing to cooperate. The only difference is whether it can fully meet his expectations, which also makes "Lobster" have a very good A decent cast lineup: Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Ben-Whishaan, Lea Seydoux and more.

In the United States, Ogus' reputation is still relatively limited, only professionals in the industry are more familiar with it, but the general public is still very unfamiliar, which is why Andy asked such a question.

"Have heard of it, of course." Renly replied in an understatement in the affirmative. "He's quite famous in the West End of London."

Andy was a little surprised, "Oh, so? After I heard about this director, I specifically looked for his 'Dog Tooth' to watch, which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. I didn't expect that he had already made a breakthrough in the UK. name."

"As for the aesthetics of movies in Europe and America, we can put them aside for now and get down to business." Renly twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

This joke also made Andy laugh happily, "I can accept it. Before the conversation starts, I surrender." If there is really a debate, Andy doesn't think he has any chance of winning.
