Now Wang Yifan is definitely the number one director in China, no matter which aspect he is.

In terms of box office, he is the world's largest box office in a single box office.

In terms of cumulative box office, he is the first in the country in terms of cumulative box office, and even in Asia.

In the past, some people might have said that Wang Yifan lacks recognition of heavyweight awards.

But now, even those people have shut up.

Because the Oscar Best Director, no matter how it is, even if it doesn't recognize it, it can't stand it. It's indeed the world's most influential film award at present.

And what about Chen Shaojun?

Although he is not as good as Wang Yifan, he is also a major director in China.

Compared with Chen Hang and other veteran directors, he is not much less.

The movie "King Kong" can be said to have directly established the title of director Chen Shaojun.

Moreover, "King Kong" is not only a big seller in China, but also a big seller abroad.

What he lacks is qualifications.

And this time, Chen Shaojun and James Lister collaborated directly for Oscars.

Although this "The Rest of the Desert Island" is definitely PR, it is mainly aimed at James Lister's best actor.

But working hard, it is not impossible to nominate the Oscar for Best Director.

For Wang Yifan, it may be a failure if he doesn't win the award, especially for "Titanic". If he doesn't win the award, he really is a failure if he doesn't win the award.

But for Chen Shaojun and even many major directors in China, it is a success to get the nomination.

If it weren't for Wang Yifan's Oscars, or even nominations, he would have been touted by countless media.

Of course, for Chen Shaojun, this is also a brand new experience.

After all, this time the partner he is going to work with is the top Hollywood superstar, James Lister.

James Lister, you can say that you can imagine Little Little in your previous life, and the two of them can be considered benchmarks.

Cooperating with such a superstar is itself the greatest affirmation for Chen Shaojun.

Get back to the point.

When Chen Shaojun heard Wang Yifan's words, he couldn't help but smile and said, "After having the filming experience of "King Kong", to be honest, "The Rest of the Desert Island" is really nothing."

This is really not a brag about Chen Shaojun.

In fact, large-scale special effects production is much more difficult to shoot than those literary and artistic movies.

Chen Shaojun has even completed special effects blockbusters like "King Kong", so how many people are in a crew of "The Rest of the Desert Island"? Naturally, it's easy to get it.

"Is this what I'm asking?" Wang Yifan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Of course, he knew that there was no problem with Chen Shaojun's directing "The Rest of the Desert Island", because this movie actually gave the director little room to play, and it really relied on actors.

Damn James Lister!

Because he is the real core character of this movie.

"You mean James Lister?" Chen Shaojun asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "How is it? Do you have any thoughts when working with Hollywood stars?"

Chen Shaojun smiled and said, "It's much better than I thought. Although James Lister is a big name, it's not as difficult to contact as I imagined. On the contrary, he is a very easy-to-talk person and cooperates very well. To be honest, I thought at the beginning that James Lister is also an idol, right? After all, he is so handsome, but there are many fans in China."

"What then?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"But as a result, he is really dedicated. The shooting has to be divided into two stages. One stage is before he was wandering on the deserted island, so he has already started to do it." Chen Shaojun said.

"Also, he spent money to hire a nutritionist himself, and he also complained that it was probably a physical condition. Although he ate a lot of high-calorie food every day, the speed of weight gain can only be described as turtle speed. But there was no complaint at all, which made me feel that it was taken for granted, and even promised me that when the filming was done, he would definitely reach perfection. What else can I say?" Chen Shaojun shook his head and smiled.

"There are many good actors in China, but to be honest, many times, some actors become famous and big names, but in China they have idol burdens, and various requirements are outrageous... And this is still good, and some actors can't endure hardships at all, so they call changing their accents, which will cost him even more life." Chen Shaojun couldn't help but complain.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "You, you're so naive. Do you really think there is a difference between James Lister and the big-name actors in China?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Shaojun asked in confusion.

"That's because you are just a director, and to be honest, the director is not the most important thing about this movie. This is Hollywood, producer-centered production, have you forgotten?" Wang Yifan smiled and shook his head.

Just kidding? James Lister is very good at contact? Dedicated?

Oh, yes, being dedicated is really dedicated, but his agent and his team are equally dedicated and professional.

Hollywood stars are dedicated, such as they can basically do whatever they require in appearance.

But in other aspects, Hollywood stars are much more difficult to deal with than domestic stars.

It is because "The Rest of the Desert Island" is a one-man show by James Lister, there is no actor in the film that can match him.

That's why Chen Shaojun felt that James Liszt asked less.

But what about it in fact?

"Do you know that when James Lister joined a movie, he signed hundreds of thin strips with the crew. I don't know which ones are specific, but do you think James Lister is easy to do with the details of hundreds of them?" Wang Yifan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"No, right? Then why haven't I heard of such a contract here?" Chen Shaojun couldn't help but smack his tongue.

In fact, top superstars like James Lister feel that you feel that they are easy to get in touch, at least they won’t be big-name, but that’s because when people are big-name, you just don’t see them at all.

For example, what you drink, eat, and live in are the most basic things, and big stars will have special requirements.

There are also many personal habit issues of celebrities, which are also written into the contract details.

"Because of this film, James Lister himself is the nominal producer, and he is also an investor. At the same time, this film is still his one-man show, so do you think he is necessary?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Chen Shaojun then scratched his head.

"Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you as a director. In fact, the strongest thing in Hollywood lies here. There are many details that the director does not need to worry about, because the crew has a dedicated person responsible for all kinds of things. Even if there is trouble, the director will not be found to deal with it, unless there is really no way."

Yes, it is common for a Hollywood crew of seven or eight, eight or nine, or even more than ten assistant directors, and each of them has their own division of labor.

The director is more responsible for controlling the entire audience, so naturally others will deal with the others!
