Chapter 722 Restart Star Wars(1/2)
"Don't you really go with me? Let me tell you that there are only single digits of people who have arrived at the Titanic wreckage. If you go with me, you will be famous in history."
"No, you are a diving enthusiast. I understand your mood, but the last time I saw you filming the abyss, I had a psychological barrier to deep-sea diving. When you finished filming the Titanic
, remember to show me, I want to be the first person to see the material you took."
"That's fine..."
Cameron warmly invited Ronald to explore the Titanic in the deep sea. Ronald felt very honored and refused.
Some adventures and extreme sports, if you are prepared, the risks can be controlled to a bearable range. But Ronald also has his own logic, no matter how small the chance is, if it is not absolutely necessary, why should it be
Go and try the probability?
In order to shoot a movie, Cameron would have to go to the field and let it go. Besides, Ronald is still facing a relatively important thing now. The negotiation between Orwitz and Bronfman Jr. is in a stalemate.
, I definitely can't run away.
...
"I'm Jedi Roger V. Lee, you bad guy, eat my lightsaber...Yeah..."
"ah……"
On this day, I was spending time with my son Roger Jr., dressed up as he was in Star Wars and fought with a lightsaber model. This lightsaber is the most expensive type produced by Hollywood toys. After pressing the button, the light will be rayed.
The process of growing from the hilt to the tip of the sword can be brushed is not comparable to that of cheap plastic toys.
Little Roger was having a lot of fun, and chopped his daddy around the sofa, looking very happy.
"Roger, don't cut your daddy with a lightsaber... Hum!" Diane heard the movement and then frowned and told her son to go around her husband and turn around. She was not angry with Ronald and she and Ronald.
Say, "George is looking for you, my dear."
"Which George?" Ronald didn't understand it at once.
"Who else? George Lucas, who invented the lightsaber in your hand..."
"Oh..." Ronald hurriedly took off the Jedi cloak and went to his study to answer the phone. George Lucas didn't know how to chat with him or something. It seemed that something important was happening.
"Ronard, can you come to my estate when you have time? I have something to talk to you about the special effects of the movie."
"Of course, but can I bring my wife and children together? I was playing lightsaber with my son just now. He knew that he would be so happy that he could go crazy when he could go to Uncle Lucas' manor."
"Of course, it seems that you, like me, enjoy being with the kids."
The next morning, the Ronald family took a private plane to Skywalker Ranch. Lucas personally received it. Roger Jr. was taken to see the Star Wars Museum with several children adopted by Lucas. He was very excited and happy.
It jumped and jumped.
"Why not build a private airport here? Mr. Lucas? We have to drive an hour after landing at the nearby airport." Ronald thought that although the ranch was great, it was still a little remote.
"I don't like the noise of jets, but there is a helipad here." Lucas smiled and settled here, and he wanted this kind of purity.
"Congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Director. I don't have an Oscar trophy, so I didn't go to the scene..."
George Lucas was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for America and Star Wars 4. But he never won the award. He has an Irving G. Tolberg Memorial Award
, but it is not the shape of a little golden man.
At that time, the executive committee member of the college also invited him to present the Oscars that had just passed. Walter Murch, the best editing editor, was his buddy, and he also helped Ronald and was also a candidate for the award presentation guest.
However, Lucas prefers to hide and clean, and then the college executive committee only invited Spielberg to present the awards.
"Haha, how do you say that. It's my honor to win the Oscar, but the Oscars didn't award you the Best Director Award twice, which is a stain on their history."
"Hahaha, is it really as good as what you said?" Lucas was very happy with this super flattery.
"Of course, you saw my son's interest in Star Wars. As a person who grew up watching Star Wars, I also had a special relationship with him. I used to fantasize that if I was born in Star Wars, I had a special feeling.
Who would be a person in the world?”
"Hahaha, your dream will come true soon..."
Lucas laughed and then took Ronald to a studio where there was a half-person-tall model. When Ronald saw it, he turned out to be a handsome guy with blonde hair, holding it in his hand.
Wearing a lightsaber, the whole person gives people the impression that his temperament feels both good and evil.
Next to her is a girl wearing a special dress, looking like an alien nobleman, but her lips and cheeks are painted with red paint, which makes people look a bit like a song in Japanese culture
Ji's feeling.
"This is..." Ronald felt something.
"This is Darth Vader, Anagin Skywalker, and Queen Amidala, parents of Luke and Princess Leia, and the protagonists of my latest first installment."
"Oh..." Ronald nodded. Last year, Lucas released the story before he could shoot the original Star Wars trilogy (part 456) through a variety show. Now it seems that it tells the original trilogy.
The story of the parents of the male and female protagonists.
The Forrest Gump, directed by himself, has many cross-edited paragraphs of real-life and historical images, as well as some techniques to use computer special effects to make special effects on real-life people. Could it be that Lucas wants to ask himself this?
His own Industrial Light and Magic is the most powerful expert in this field? Maybe he thinks that the special effects and real people in my Forrest Gump are very good, right? Ronald thought with a little complacent thought that Lucas was
Recognition is a good honor for any Hollywood director.
However, Lucas said that his dream came true, was he going to make a guest appearance as a character? This is fun. Is it better to be a storm soldier or a soldier from the Rebel Alliance?
"How about it, are you interested in directing the first Star Wars movie, the story of Anagin when she was a child."
"I'm, hey?"
Ronald was still immersed in the Storm Soldier who chose not to fight accurately or the Rebel Alliance soldiers who were quickly killed. When he was suddenly asked whether he wanted to be a director, he felt a little confused. Lucas was going to shoot the Star Wars prequel.
You just need to direct it yourself, come and ask me what I'm doing?
"Why don't you direct yourself?" The words in your heart blurted out.
"Which one of the best in the trilogy do you think is the best?" Lucas did not answer, but instead asked Ronald a question.
"Well... I'm afraid it's the Empire's Counterattack..." Ronald replied.
"By the way, that's not what I directed."
The fourth new hope was first released. At that time, Lucas had not yet gained his reputation and could only direct it himself. The movie was considered a childish movie by the starring actors, and everyone finished it just as joked, and it was very likely that it would
Box office PUBG.
Unexpectedly, it became one of the most influential movies in Hollywood history. In the second part, George Lucas found his college teacher, Erwin Kshner, and made this film critic and audience reputation.
The best sequel.
This is also one of the few movies in Hollywood history that have more sequels than the original movie. Lucas said this, probably because he has an understanding of his directorial ability. He is good at creating a science fiction world and setting characters, but the director may
Not the strongest place in Lucas.
When filming New Hope, the starring actors complained about him. He said that he would only make their movements faster. Later in the filming, Lucas was sick and couldn't speak, so they made a few signboards.
, Lucas' catchphrase like "Hurry up" is written on it, and he just wants to say it and just raise a sign.
"This is the summary of the story I wrote, please look..."
Lucas handed over a document of about ten pages, and Ronald opened it and saw it. It was indeed the first story, with the name "Phantom Crisis" written on the cover.
The story is the same as the original version, not complicated. Anakin is a child whose mother conceived and gave birth to no one else one day, and has a strong affinity for the Force. Jedi Kuigangjin and his disciple Obi-Wan
Just arrived on the planet where Anakin was located. After a series of adventures, Anakin, who has great mechanical talent and driving talent, was rescued from his slave by the Jedi Warriors, and finally went to the Republic with Queen Amidala.
The capital.
However, the reason why Star Wars became popular all over the country is not because of the complex twists and turns of the story, but the endless imagination and the yearning for exploration of the future world that is very consistent with the Ameriga nationality.
Simply put, this is a western film that takes place in the middle of space. And there are countless spacecraft and space fighter jets, which is very real and makes Ameriga teenagers scream.
Ronald flipped over and there was also a scene of racing on a different planet. This car was not like a car on Earth, with four wheels, but two engines that could be suspended on the ground, dragging it
The chariot advances, a bit like the scene of the ancient Roman Arena racing in the classic Hollywood movie Bin Hu.
This scene requires the integration of a large number of computer-generated special effects images and real shots, which is also the strength of Ronald's special effects movies. Perhaps it is because of this that George Lucas invited him to talk about the director of Star Wars
A thing about one.
"However, I still think you should direct this first work yourself." Ronald finished reading the story summary and then declined.
Being able to peek into the plot of Star Wars in advance is a privilege that no Star Wars fans can have. Ronald is definitely not stupid, he will finish watching it first.
"Actually, I can be honest with you, George Steven (Spielberg) once asked me if I could direct Schindler's list, and I also refused. The reason is the same as what I want to tell you, every director
, maybe there is a movie they are destined to shoot.
For Steven, it’s Schindler’s list, maybe for me, Forrest Gump, for Lucas, it’s definitely the first Phantom Crisis to restart the Star Wars story…”
"so……"
Lucas didn't expect that this would be the reason Ronald refused.
"I can also be honest, I've looked for Steven (Spielberg), and Lang (Howard) before, and they all refused. However, I just thought they were afraid of challenges, but now I understand, it's true.
It's the most suitable thing for me to shoot."
The challenge Lucas mentioned is because the Star Wars trilogy has a huge number of fans all over the world and is very loyal.
If the first Phantom Crisis was filmed well, they all took it for granted. Because George Lucas had set them a world of magnificent story background.
If the filming is not done well, it must be the director's problem. The original trilogy of Star Wars is so well told. Now I'm asking you to shoot a story about their parents, isn't it much less difficult? If you don't shoot well, it's definitely a matter of not being done well.
To be continued...
