China Entertainment started in 2004

Wang Shu laughed and said, "Even if I agree, Paramount will not agree."

Alexandra Daddario pursed her lips when she heard this, knowing full well that it was the truth.

Her scenes have been completed and there are no problems, but Paramount, as the investor, will definitely not agree.

However, she also knew that "La La Land" had to be completed before the end of the year, so she felt that Wang Shu was also unwilling to scrap the film and reshoot it.

Because this means that not only her scenes need to be re-shot, but also the scenes of other characters need to be re-shot.

This will be a huge undertaking and will undoubtedly require restarting the film.

Think about it, it's impossible.

Alexandra Daddario sighed softly, looked at Wang Shu and said, "Shu, if there is a chance to work with you in the future, I hope you can be as strict with me as you were with Emma."

After that, he added, "I want to win the award, too."

There is no Hollywood actor who doesn't want to win an award.

Because here, the size of a celebrity's status has always been determined by the level and number of awards and honors.

Although in a few years, due to Marvel and DC superhero movies, there are many Hollywood actors who are famous all over the world even if they don’t win awards, and their pay is also very high.

However, these people only became famous because of Marvel and DC superhero movies. Without Marvel and superhero movies, they are nothing.

Simply put, it is equivalent to a traffic star.

Facts have proved that traffic stars are often superficial and cannot last long in the circle.

For example, when Marvel movies were at their peak of popularity, each and every Marvel movie actor was doing very well.

But since the popularity of Marvel movies declined, these actors have also begun to go downhill.

Not only is his career going downhill, but his status and other aspects are also declining.

Instead, the actors who won the awards raised their heads again.

It’s actually a very simple truth: compare the actors in Marvel superhero movies with Hollywood award-winning stars.

It's just like Wu Moufan, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and others compared to Zhou Dongyu.

Zhou Dongyu is not very popular and her acting skills are average.

But even if it is average, it is far better than these traffic artists.

Of course, Marvel superhero movies are not without actors with good acting skills.

For example, Robert Downey Jr. won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in "Oppenheimer".

However, before taking on the role in "Iron Man", Robert Downey Jr. was already a famous artist in Hollywood.

After his debut, he made many art films, but due to some reasons his career hit a low point and he couldn't make it anymore, so he took on the role in "Iron Man".

If he was doing well, he would not bother with Marvel.

Superhero movies have always been on the contempt chain in Hollywood.

"Uh..." Wang Shu opened his mouth and said, "Since you have asked for this, if there is a chance for us to work together again, I will definitely be stricter."

Alexandra Daddario smiled when she heard that, then blinked at Wang Shu and asked softly, "Shu, do you think Emma has a chance to win the award this time?"

Unlike Fan Binbin, although "La La Land" is a musical film that has lost popularity in North America, Alexandra Daddario still believes that the film can be nominated.

Even Emma Stone thought she could be nominated.

During the many days on the crew, he saw with his own eyes Wang Shu guiding Emma Stone's performance step by step.

Sometimes she watched from the side and saw many times that Emma Stone's performance became more and more perfect under Wang Shu's guidance.

"Win an award? Are you talking about the Oscar?" Wang Shu asked in surprise.

Emma hasn't even had a chance of being nominated for an Oscar, but Alexandra Daddario actually asked whether she could win the award. How optimistic is she?

Or is it just a casual question?
Or is this used to judge the effectiveness of his strict guidance of the actors?

Alexandra Daddario nodded: "Yes, it's Oscar."

"Shu, do you think Emma can win the prize?"

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said, "If Emma continues to perform like this, she should have no problem getting nominated, but I'm not sure if she'll win the award."

Alexandra Daddario also knew that whether or not she could win an award depended on the attitudes of the senior men in the academy, so she said, "Emma is still so young, even if she is just nominated, it is an important honor."

Wang Shu did not comment. There are so many actors in Hollywood, and not just any actor can get an Oscar nomination.

There are only so many actors who can win awards. Excluding those who have won awards, the nominated actors have a lot to say about other actors who have not even been nominated.

Alexandra Daddario then sighed: "I don't know when I will be nominated."

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Isn't there a chance this time?"

Alexandra Daddario rolled her eyes at him and said, "Shu, if you reshoot it and guide me like you guided Emma, ​​then maybe you have a chance to get nominated."

"But right now, I don't have the confidence."

Wang Shu smiled and said: "It is impossible to reshoot, we can only wait and see if there is an opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

"If we work together again in the future, I will definitely be stricter."

Alexandra Daddario pouted and said, "Shu, whether there is a chance for cooperation in the future is not just a matter of your words, right?"

"Uh..." Wang Shu smiled, "When I'm filming, I usually look for actors who fit the role in the script."

"So in the future you need to see if there is a role suitable for you. If there is, you will be called for an audition."

After this audition experience, Alexandra Daddario knew that the audition Wang Shu mentioned might just be an audition, but actually it meant directly deciding on the role.

But... this is not enough.

She stared with her blue eyes and asked, "Is Emma also suitable for the role in the script?"

"Of course!" Wang Shu knew that the other party was suspicious, but he answered without changing his expression.

In the original timeline, the heroine of "La La Land" was Emma Stone.

Alexandra Daddario curled her lips and muttered, "Whether it's appropriate or not is up to you to decide."

Wang Shu laughed when he heard this and thought to himself, little girl, you have revealed the truth.

Whether it is appropriate or not is indeed up to him to decide.

However, in order to ensure that the movie does not flop, he does not choose actors randomly, but chooses one from a range of suitable actors based on the script itself.

There are so many actors in the entertainment industry, and every role is not suitable for only one actor, but for many actors.

"What did you say?" Wang Shu pretended not to hear clearly.

"Nothing." Alexandra Daddario sighed softly.

Seeing this, Wang Shu didn't ask any more questions and continued eating dinner.

Alexandra Daddario was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up and said, "Shu, you are really handsome?"

"?" Wang Shu had a face full of question marks. Why did he suddenly talk about this?
Alexandra Daddario propped her chin up with both hands, her eyes full of admiration, and said, "He is very talented. He can write scripts and make movies, and he can also write lyrics and compose music. He is really handsome!"

Wang Shu couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, he was indeed an actor. She knew that Alexandra Daddario might have a crush on him because of his talent and looks, but she wouldn't have stars in her eyes.

This is so fake.

All I can say is that actors are actors after all.

Through some performances, some of the emotions in our hearts can be amplified.

If Wang Shu wasn't also a seasoned veteran, he would have believed it.

Wang Shu smiled and also flattered: "Alexandra, you are also very beautiful and have a good figure."

Alexandra Daddario smiled and bit her lip and asked, "Tree, do you like it?"

Wang Shu heard this and replied openly: "Of course, who wouldn't like a beauty like you?"

When Alexandra Daddario heard this, the smile on her face became even wider, and she invited him with watery eyes: "Shu, I want to invite you to my house, do you want to come?"

Wang Shu smiled and replied, "Okay."

When Alexandra Daddario saw that Wang Shu did not refuse, a smile appeared on her pretty face.

After dinner and some trouble, Wang Shu arrived at Alexandra Daddario's apartment.

She is still a small star and lives in an ordinary apartment.

Wang Shu walked in and just took a few glances when Alexandra Daddario hugged him from behind.

Seeing that the other party was so proactive, Wang Shu couldn't refuse.

then……

The next day, Wang Shu left Alexandra Daddario's apartment.

Alexandra Daddario, one of the sexiest blue-eyed actresses in Hollywood.

When it comes to the hottest actresses in Hollywood, Alexandra Daddario is definitely on the list.

The actress, born in New York in 1986, has mixed genes of Italian, Irish and Cherokee Indians, which gives her unique appearance.

Her perfect body proportions, deep blue eyes, and iconic naturally curly reddish-brown hair have made her the focus of attention since her debut.

As a Scorpio girl, Daddario exudes a mysterious and sexy charm, which allows her to gain a foothold in the highly competitive Hollywood.

34D-25-34, this amazing set of measurements has allowed her to appear on the covers of major men's magazines many times.

Daddario is not just a pretty face who relies on her figure, her acting skills are also good.

Since 2010, she played Eden Hamby in "True Blood" and made the audience remember this face.

Later, in the first season of HBO's hit drama "True Detective", her performance opposite Matthew McConaughey received high praise.

In 2017, she starred in "Baywatch" which made audiences around the world crazy.

The slow-motion shot of her running in a red bikini was talked about by many movie fans.

However, if you want to maintain your figure, you still have to rely on diet management.

Her eating habits are also very strict. She consumes 2000 calories a day, 40% of which is protein, and mainly consists of whole grains, lean meat, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you don’t eat high-calorie foods, you just eat them occasionally.

It is usually a nutritionally balanced fat-reducing meal.

As a Hollywood actress, wine is essential.

……

The crew of "La La Land" continues to shoot the film in an orderly manner.

Some people say that "La La Land" is an author's film.

In fact, it is not difficult to find that although this seems to be a lovely story about love and dreams, and the movie does not seem to have many special effects shots, it is not easy to shoot.

There are many things in the shots that look cool and contain mysteries, such as the push-pull shot from a close-up of fingers to the entire view of the bar.

However, one of the scenes that left a deep impression on many people was when the heroine went to the hero's bar, the heroine danced, the hero played the piano, and the camera kept rotating between the two of them.

The first one is a normal shot switch, and then it starts to rotate. Unlike the pseudo-long shot of the opening dance, this segment is a real one-shot.

In fact, when the camera needs to turn during the shooting process, the director will pat the photographer's shoulder, and pat him again when he turns back. This part tests the director's control of rhythm. Every rotation of the lens is combined with the melody of the music.

For example, when Wang Shu was shooting this scene, he directed the cameraman to move the camera in this way.

This shooting method is called rapid panning, and it is also very challenging for the photographer. After all, after a rapid rotation, he must immediately find the place where the previous lens was fixed.

The movie "La La Land" has many long shots.

It perfectly displays the aesthetics of long shots, which not only have the integrity of time and space and a real sense of drama, but more excitingly, the rhythm of the long shot movement is perfectly combined with the music, forming a strong audiovisual beauty, allowing the audience to enjoy a high, intense, and selfless "pleasure", which is a very high aesthetic enjoyment.

Among them, many shots have implications about the presentation method of musicals.

To be honest, if Wang Shu had not specially studied the shooting techniques and analysis of "La La Land" posted on the Internet by others in order to improve his filming skills when he was a web movie director before his rebirth, it would have been difficult for him to make this movie.

Without these, he doesn't understand the language of the lens and can't capture the corresponding flavor.

Even if you copy something, it still lacks soul.

Again, the success of "La La Land" is not just about the story.

It can be said that the story of this movie is very clichéd, and too many movies have presented similar stories.

It's just that "La La Land" presented it with soul, which resonated with the audience and created the myth of reviving American musicals.

This time the shooting was also a night scene.

It is expected that after shooting a few good shots, the crew will call it a day and go home.

Emma Stone did not return to the hotel or her apartment, but sat in Wang Shu's car and went home with Wang Shu.

She didn't handle some of her scenes well and needed Wang Shu to give her some special help.

So after Wang Shu finished his work on the crew, he had to work overtime when he got home.

Really... a little tired.

The scenes for the supporting characters in "La La Land" have been completed, and the remaining scenes are mainly for the main characters.

The filming went on day by day, and Wang Shu was very tired every day.

Fortunately, he is in good health and can still insist on giving Stone Sister special treatment.

If it were someone with poor health, they would have given up long ago.

On September 9, "La La Land" was completed.

In the original timeline, the film took 40 days to shoot.

It took Wang Shu nearly 40 days to finish filming.

The main reason for this is that it took a lot of time to train Stone Sister.

At this moment, Sister Shitou’s acting skills are not as good as they will be in a few years, so she needs Wang Shu’s tireless training. (End of this chapter)
