Although the official filming has not yet begun, the crew of "Ace Agent" has basically taken shape and is starting to operate normally.
There are a lot of action scenes in the movie, and for this reason, several leading actors need to carry out adaptive action training in advance.
How to play both real and cool, but also in line with the "gentleman's style" of the whole film, these are all items that need to be practiced.
Especially Uncle Colin, whether it is the small-scale "1V5" in the bar or the "100 people beheading" in the church, these two one-shot action scenes have high requirements for him, and they are definitely not something that can be grasped by temporary contact during filming.
Including Mu Ming, most directors don't understand action design.
For this reason, there is a special action director who is responsible for this task.
The action director of the crew of "Ace Agent" invited Brad Allen.
Although he is a foreigner, he is a member of the family formation class and one of the earliest European and American apprentices of the eldest brother Cheng.
Although Xiangjiang films have declined, they still have a place in the world film industry in terms of action design.
Moreover, compared with the handheld lens and fast switching that Hollywood is accustomed to, the smooth and coherent design of Xiangjiang movies is obviously more in line with the painting style of "Ace Agent".
Action scenes are the strictest part of Mu Ming's requirements, on the contrary, he is not too worried about literary dramas.
After all, not to mention the Oscar-level Uncle Colin or Michael Kane, even the fledgling Taron Edgerton has enough performance.
Unlike in China, many young actors in the UK, even if they have graduated from school or have made their debut in filming, often choose to perform in theatres for one or two years to gain experience.
Of course, this is not to say that young actors in the UK are better than young actors in China.
In fact, all newcomers who graduated from formal performing arts colleges in China, except for a few people, most of their acting skills are not good, but at least they can still watch it.
The typical characters who have been criticized every day are actually those who have crossed over from the line.
There is no way, the domestic music industry is basically over; Variety shows are not only tiring to record, but they are also easy to recruit if they don't have enough brains; If you want to be an idol honestly, there is no special idol classification in China. is also in the film and television industry, especially TV dramas, with less money and more away from home, naturally no matter who it is, they all rush in.
It's actually quite a simple question, just wait.
When the entertainment industry is perfected to the point where actors, singers, and idols can be clearly separated, actors film, singers sing, and idol fans, all the problems will be solved.
I hope I have a lifetime......
Although there are some problems in the preparation of several leading actors, it is not difficult, after all, they are all professional actors.
On the contrary, there are more difficulties on Mu Ming's side.
As I said before, this is Mu Ming's first time shooting an action movie.
Whether it was a wide range of scene scheduling, various high-speed motion shots, or even the IMAX camera that weighed more than 80 kilograms, it was something he had never experienced before.
Therefore, although Mu Ming has the final version of the finished picture in her memory, how to shoot the effect has become a new problem.
After all, the previous movies were all good at plots, and there was no technical difficulty.
However, although it was a little difficult, it stimulated Mu Ming's curiosity and desire to learn.
As if he had gotten a few big toys, he plunged headlong into the debugging and experimentation of related technologies.
The so-called curiosity is the first source of motivation, and in the next few days in North America, in addition to the necessary rest every day and the entertainment with Disney, Mu Ming's attention was all on the preparation and run-in of the shooting.
Hard work pays off, not to mention that Mu Ming does have some talent in this area, so she grows rapidly.
Whether it is the filming itself or the tacit understanding with the relevant members of the crew, it has deepened a lot.
Of course, this is also because everyone in the crew is more cooperative, after all, they all see Mu Ming's performance.
Of course, this has nothing to do with admiration for Mu Ming's hard work, or admiration for his learning speed.
The main reason is because these people know that directors like Mu Ming, who are not very polite to themselves, will never show any mercy to them when they work.
Therefore, in order to avoid some unpleasant things from happening in the future, it is better to cooperate more.
As for Mu Ming, he didn't have any idea of subduing these people.
As long as everyone can perform their duties during the filming and do their best to complete the shooting task, it is enough.
Both sides are willing to cooperate, and the degree of run-in of the crew is much faster.
After more than a month, the shooting progress after the start-up can basically be guaranteed.
But at this point, Mu Ming had to interrupt.
It was already early November.
Mu Ming had to rush back to China to attend the premiere of "Room".
It just so happened that it also gave the crew a time to rest and buffer.
When Mu Ming comes back next time, filming will officially start. ········· As the most harvested film among the three domestic films shortlisted for Cannes this year, "Room" did not choose to take advantage of the popularity after Cannes to seize the time to be released, but postponed it for a few months before landing in theaters.
In fact, this is also very understandable, after the end of Cannes, it entered the summer file.

As an important schedule for blockbusters, not to mention that the battle for this year's summer file is also extremely intense.
In this case, even if "Room" bears Mu Ming's name and the crown of "Cannes Actress", it will inevitably be compressed a lot of market performance.
After all, this kind of serious feature film is originally biased towards niche, and the theater chain will not give too many films under the siege of a bunch of commercial blockbusters.
So it's better to postpone it until November, when there are no blockbusters, at least it will have a big advantage in the film schedule.
Besides, judging from the preferences of today's domestic movie audiences, works with the blessing of "Cannes" may not be able to attract many audiences.
On the contrary, a considerable number of viewers will subconsciously have a rejection reaction when they see the word "Cannes".
Therefore, Mizuki also consciously favored Mu Ming herself and Wan Qian's "Cannes Actress" in the publicity before the release.
The former now has a huge appeal in China, and the latter is an honor after nearly 20 years.
Anyway, the publicity effect is better than the direct "Cannes" masterpiece.
Therefore, the biggest problem in the domestic film and television industry is actually the contradiction between the audience aesthetics that some people think have increased, and the manufacturers who can see through the essence of the audience's preferences at a glance.
However, in the circle, Cannes' compulsion is still very high, so there are many big names at the premiere.
For example, Feng Xiaogang, who has a cooperative relationship with Mu Ming, and Zhang Yimou, who has some disagreements with Mu Ming.
Feng Xiaogang has been very complacent recently, and last month's Golden Horse Awards list was announced, and he was nominated for the best leading actor for the role of the sixth master in "Lao Paoer".
Moreover, it is estimated that I have received some rumors, knowing that it is very likely that the Golden Horse actor will be added this year, and I have been smiling all these days.
In fact, in the Golden Horse Awards for a few years, Mu Ming also had a lot of nominations.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress, a total of four nominations were won by "Room".
However, Mu Ming had no plans to participate.
As can be seen from last year's Golden Horse Awards, the jury intends to carry out local protection and cake sharing to the end.
Don't say anything about the best picture, best director or the like, even if it is the best actress, it is estimated that there is no possibility.
After all, if the actor gave Feng Xiaogang, it would be inappropriate for the actress to give another mainland actor.
In the end, it must be the local actress of Baodao.
Anyway, Mu Ming was not going to sit all night, and by the way, she also persuaded Wan Qian.
However, the young lady obviously still has some thoughts about the Golden Horse, after all, this is the highest award of the domestic film festival, so after thinking about it, she decided to participate.
It's okay, the young lady is also older, how can you know the ugliness of these people if she doesn't experience some wind and rain.
If Jin Ma really gave the best heroine to the little sister, then this would not have been said.
But that's all for later, and until then, he still has to focus on the box office performance of "Room".
How to say, compared with the previous movies, Mu Ming has a feeling of no desire for the box office this time.
After all, from the beginning, this film was not aimed at the box office.
So at the premiere, when a reporter asked Mu Ming about the predicted box office, he said very "modestly": "The subject matter may not be liked by all audiences, and it should be about four or five billion." ” The reporters and guests in the audience were speechless, a feature film with a cost of only 30 or 40 million can have a box office result of "four or five billion", do you call it "okay"?
But think about it again, the lowest score of Mu Ming's works before this was 700 million.
In comparison, four or five billion can indeed only be regarded as an okay achievement.
However, it still sounds very irritating!
If it weren't for the fact that the episode of "Let's Talk" recorded by Ma Baba hadn't been broadcast yet, and the four-character title stalk of "Repentance Ali" hadn't yet appeared, many people would definitely have to add a title such as "500 million is okay" to Mu Ming.
