Chapter 1297 The Eternal Emperor Saladin
Long live the director Chapter 1297 The Eternal Emperor Saladin
Lusalem City.★The Chinese website is updated quickly and has complete novels★This city is so charming in us. And after stationing, I began to lead the director team to find suitable outdoor scenes.
In "The Kingdom of Celestial Kingdom", the main shot revolves around Jerusalem. However, there are also a large number of scenes such as in Europe. This requires comprehensive consideration of various outdoor scenes.
Fortunately, the surrounding area of Jerusalem is basically quite rich. In addition, the beachfront near Tel Aviv makes this very suitable for our shooting needs.
In the next time, there will be a long preliminary preparation stage. A brand new city of Jerusalem will be built. Although the city is just like some in appearance. Many buildings are built with foam things. However, it is still a huge project. In addition, the entire crew needs to be trained. The actors in the crew are all big names and filming a movie like the shooter. You have to learn a lot of things, such as the customs and customs at that time, and even the postures of walking and talking.
As for riding a horse and using a sword, you naturally have to learn this thing. With the lines of the movie and the running-in between the actors, it takes a lot of time.
The most troublesome thing is the crowd. In this movie, there are a lot of big scenes. After many wars, a large number of extras are needed. Moreover, this time the extras are different from the usual ones. In the movies, there is at least no conflict between the extras. This time, this time it is different. Since the government and various societies in Jerusalem support our work very much, when we proposed to recruit extras, people immediately responded.
Perhaps it was because of the religious plot in this movie that the people were particularly enthusiastic. Those who participated in the extra even offered not to participate in the performance. Christian people joined the crusaders, while Muslims cheered for their great monarch Saladin in history. A thousand years later, on Jerusalem, the iron horses of that year appeared again.
The religious enthusiasm of the past was staged again. This caused conflicts between the extras on both sides, especially during rehearsals | When these people uploaded their own costumes, they often had group fights because one or two people scolded each other, which gave me a headache. In the end, we didn't stop training these points to reduce this unnecessary friction.
In addition to extras, I also worry about some major roles. These roles are mainly Muslim leaders in movies, such as Saladin, the Great Emperor of the Eternal. This character is a well-known Muslim hero in history, but because of her appearance, it is absolutely impossible for Hollywood actors to play them only from the original Muslims. And in this land, there are no film companies at all, so naturally there are no professional movie actors.
However, after we worked hard to find a man named Eurekarami in the old town of Jerusalem. This man has been a leader of a mercenary, both in terms of temperament and appearance, which made me very satisfied.
After finishing all these messy work, it was basically the end of July. We drew for more than a month and started to prepare for this movie. The movie officially started at the end of July.
The first thing to shoot is the protagonist Badian's life in Europe. The content in this aspect is easy and smooth. After this series of shooting, the actors gradually found the feeling and became smoother.
A little blacksmith was imprisoned after his wife was killed. One day, the baron who returned from Jerusalem found Badian and told him that he was Badian's father. Badian followed the baron to join the team to Jerusalem. When his father was attacked, the prince Badian inherited his father's title and boarded the Arabian Peninsula and headed towards Jerusalem.
This is the European scenes of the whole movie, although it sounds simple. There are many ideas when filming. The hero Badian is naturally one of the core characters of the whole movie. This character was originally DreamWorks and Hollywood filmmakers unanimously agreed that I would play it. They thought that such a role was not suitable for others at all, but I rejected it.
My idea is naturally my reason for refusing to participate in the leading actor.
First of all, I am a little tired of playing the leading role in my own movie. I think such a movie should give some other people the opportunity, especially such blockbusters. After all, DreamWorks cannot be the only one in this regard.
Secondly, I have a special liking for this movie. I want to concentrate on completing the director's work. I clearly reflect my intentions in all the scenes of the movie and will obviously give a big discount in this regard.
Finally, and most importantly, compared to this virtual male protagonist, I prefer another character in the movie. Although this character is not the protagonist, although this character has few scenes, after watching the history of the SAR, I became deeply obsessed with this character.
This person is the great king of Jealem in history. Devin IV, who suffered from leprosy and wore a mask all his life.
The seat was the second-last reigning monarch in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Baldwin IV was the most wisest ruler who ruled Jealem in public. This 13 was diagnosed with leprosy.
After his reign, he faced an unprecedented crisis situation: the crusaders were intensified in conflicts. However, under the leadership of their hero Saladin, the Muslims were increasingly united and increasingly strong and vowed to regain Jerusalem.
At such a moment, Baldwin IV supported the shaky Kingdom of Jerusalem with his sick body. He made Saladin lose his life outside of Jerusalem many times. In the last many wars, as long as the king's flag was erected in the crusad camp, the Muslim army would only make one move: retreat.
Such a king stubbornly protected the kingdom with his increasingly decayed body for 11 years. He finally passed away at the age of 24. After a few years of death, Jerusalem was defeated by Saladin. Since then, there is no more king in Jerusalem|.
Such a character is like a king who exudes infinite charm and arouses endless thoughts. It attracts me more than any character. When I was writing the script, I decided to play the king myself. Although he appeared with a mask throughout the movie, I liked this role so much that Griffith Stiller Antonioni and Bresson jointly dissuaded me by me.
Other characters also have their own division of labor. Generally speaking, the main Hollywood stars are all concentrated on the Crusaders. Although the Muslim side does not have stars, the actors are also full of energy because they think it is their great honor to play the ancestors of heroes.
The whole movie was not officially entered the grand historical narrative after Baan entered Jerusalem. It revolved around a famous city and surrounded this story. One by one, and the scene was getting bigger and bigger.
Photographed from July to August. Photographed from August to September.
When the weather got colder, the movie also began to enter a hot climax.
And in these two months, I basically don’t pay much attention to external affairs. There is only one goal. That is to shoot with all my heart and soul - a scene, every shot.
But in the past two months, something really happened that seemed very important to me.
First of all, it’s about Hollywood. After the non-US investigation committee occupied Hollywood and was kicked out, the situation in Hollywood has been improved temporarily. Under these difficult and relaxed conditions, major Hollywood film companies have announced their withdrawal from their main movies in the second half of the year.
Such a trend also has a lot to do with DreamWork's launch of "The Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom" by 3 million. Under the leadership of this movie, Hollywood filmmakers were very angry and vowed to fight a comeback.
Paramount Film Company invested $1.5 million to film the movie "Aoyama Tadaic Bone" directed by John Ford. This movie is still a western theme that John Ford is also very good at 10 minutes of love. But in this movie, the western master also made a huge change. Originally, his western film mainly showed individual heroes. It is often a play of how a gunman eliminates violence and maintains good fortune. But in this movie, it describes a story about a cowboy and a group of people with a real cowboy spirit that makes their blood boil.
When Paramount Films was circulating this movie, it put a series of labels: "The most perfect western", "The most luxurious western", "The most atmospheric western", etc. Even John Ford himself said that this may be the movie he was most satisfied with and watched the most. This shows the explosive power of this movie.
Hitchcock, who successfully transformed and achieved great success in filming "No. 17", this time he took his purpose back from the ancient tribes of America and placed it in Vienna, Europe.
"Waltz in Vienna". If you ask fans, the name of this movie will most likely think that this is a romantic name by Frank Capra. A name full of poetry and imagery is difficult to associate with the suspenseist Hitchcock.
But Hitchcock wanted to shoot such a movie. Leidianhua Film Company invested $1 million in this, which was considered to be a huge investment. Hitchcock claimed that in this movie, he would transform again. He would not show doubts. He would show thick artistic thinking.
The hero and heroine of this movie was also replaced by Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, who Hitchcock likes, to Lawrence Oliver and Juno Jane. Such a change somewhat projected Hitchcock's confidence. It can be said that this moment is the most confident moment for this fat man.
After Sjostram was expelled, Zinerman, who has become the veritable pillar of MGM, released his masterpiece "The Shadow of the Ancestors". This movie is completely in line with the usual style and taste of MGM boss Marskolov. The scene is grand, the iron horse, and the main content is about the story of Americans working hard on this land in the early days. There are wars, love and suffering. The taste is very erect.
Although Zinaman is proud of Hollywood, it is not an old director. In the eyes of many people, this household is a little younger. However, no one will doubt his abilities. This is a guy who is born to be a director. Whether it is his own thinking or a solid film foundation. After entering MGM Films, Zinaman's domineering aura was discovered by Marskolov. Several blockbuster films have been filmed one after another. This young man made this.
|It is becoming more and more like the Mill of the Season of the Season. Many Hollywood calls him "Shisson of the Season of the Season".
This film "The Shadow of Ancestors" invested 1.3 million. Marskolov said that the purpose of this film is only one, that is, to shoot a masterpiece. As for the box office, they did not consider it much.
0Ge Fox Films launches their killer weapon at this time of year. This year is no exception. Jin Weido's new film is "Fortress", which invests $700. The story is based on an ancient history. It is also a household name in the United States and Europe: the war between the Greeks and the Persian Empire. The magnificent epic of the three hundred warriors fighting against the Persian army.
Such a story. The popular 0Ge Fox Film Company has found an excellent incision.
What people are more concerned about is Kim Weido, who is the director of the film.
Jin Weiduo has always been good at some social films. And the subject matter has never been very large. He mainly wins with small and exquisiteness. This guy has never made blockbusters. Especially this epic war film, I don’t know what O’Chi Film Company thought this time. He put such a movie on his head. While people are looking forward to it, they are full of doubts.
What I look forward to is that this guy can make a wonderful blockbuster. In that way, people will definitely look at his abilities differently. What I worry about is whether Jin Weido can make this movie well. If he is called a tumbler, he will be miserable if he capsizes his way in this movie.
But Kim Viedo himself was very confident about this. When facing the reporter, the guy patted his chest and promised: "This movie will definitely make you scream because it was filmed by Kim Viedo."
Columbia Film Company launched a $6 million movie called "The Lost in the Flame". The director of this movie is Frank Capra. This guy has made little achievements last year and last year Columbia Film Company was considered a casual move. This year, he has completely made a desperate attitude.
The movie launched by Xinyi Film Company is "Treasure Island" directed by Victor Fleming. This is the most unique among all the new films launched in Hollywood in the second half of the year. A movie adapted from a famous book. The book itself is already for a legend. However, Victor Fleming wants to bring this legend to the screen this time and let it continue on the screen.
If it were someone else, both Hollywood actors and audiences would doubt whether they had such ability. After all, the name "Treasure Island" has basically become synonymous with immortality, and it is definitely not an easy task to show the original flavor on the screen.
But because it was Vikferming, this worry was quickly erased. People who are familiar with Vikferfury know that this guy is usually serious and does not often appear in the media. He is completely a dull man. But his ability is well-known, whether it is a big investment movie or a small movie with a low cost. No matter what the subject it is, he can make it real like a base, so that you can applaud when you watch it.
Such a new film company invested $7 million. It was also considered a huge investment. Howard Hughes claimed that Treasure Island was his dream. This time he wanted to realize this dream on the screen. Whether it was success or failure, at least he would never leave any regrets again.
Victor Fleming was even more extreme. He said that if the filming of the film failed, he would not touch the camera for his life.
Such a boss, such a director, and such a script make people look forward to this movie.
Universal Film Company also seized the opportunity to launch their main movie. This movie also has a very loud name "The Flying Dutchman"! This movie originated from Wagra's immortal music masterpiece. It tells the magnificent history of pirates. Although many viewers felt that this movie might have been influenced by Stenborough's original Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean. However, they are still full of expectations for this movie.
In addition to the theme of this movie, the pirate theme that people cannot get rid of. The directors of the movie are two people. Howard Hawks and William Wheeler, two guys who are called "Universal Films' dual wheels", worked together for the first time. And it was an investment of $9 million at the beginning, which was shocking.

I like the two characters in "The Kingdom of Heaven". One is Baldwin IV and the other is Saladin.
Personally, the best in that movie is the two actors who are perfectly recreating these two great heroes in Jerusalem.
I personally have a good impression of Saladin. He is an absolute Muslim hero. Those who are interested can find a | his information to read.
It's the end of the month. The holiday starts today. I hope everyone can support you more! If you have an appointment, you can launch it.
Thank you Xiao Zhang!
Chapter completed!
