Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

"The director of "La La Land" and "The Godfather" Chu Xuan has just announced plans for a new film, "Interstellar" is a sci-fi film."

"According to Chu Magic-Chu, the inspiration for the new film comes from recent hot news in astronomy.

"He wanted to tell a story about interstellar exploration and black holes.35

"Magic-Chu seems to be keen on commercials since The Godfather. 55

"Although his previous work "Iron Man" was a hit at the box office, it is estimated that the global box office is expected to exceed 1.5 billion US dollars, but the reputation of this comic superhero work is not as good as before.

“It may take an average director two or three years, or even more than 10 years, to polish a movie.35

' Chu Xuan has been in a high-production mode since he entered the industry, with 3-4 director's films released every year. There are as many as 7-8 films that have participated in screenwriting and investment. ""

"We have reason to suspect that it may be difficult for Chu to produce such classic works of film history as The Godfather.

"The new theme seems to be science fiction, but in recent years, science fiction is almost the same as a high-investment, low-return commercial film. 99

"Maybe he won't lose money at the box office, but Chu Xuan has gone the way of a commercial film. We may never wait for the next 'The Godfather'.

Since Infinite Pictures announced the project of Chu Xuan's new film "Interstellar", the entire North American network has ushered in a wave of heated discussions.

As a top-notch director, his every move has attracted much attention.

But every time he plans a new film, he will be questioned.

As the Los Santos Times wrote in this article, no one is optimistic about Chu Xuan's new film plans.

"I admit that Chu Xuan is a talented director. He has challenged new subjects a few times before, and he has successfully challenged them all."

"The outside world is generally not optimistic about his musical films, and he proved himself with "La La Land"; 35

"The outside world generally questioned that he couldn't make a decent gangster film. Chu Xuan shocked the world with "The Godfather", which was famous in film history!"

"When everyone was doubting that the comic book film was doomed to fail, Chu Xuan's "Iron Man" successfully saved the comic book market!

"I've always been a loyal fan of director Chu Xuan, but this time I'm sorry Chu Xuan, I'm going to sing the opposite.

"Sci-fi is really the most thankless field."

‘If Chu Xuan is really addicted to commercial films, he can continue to shoot “Iron Man 2” or other Marvel works.

“Hasn’t Jupiter Ascending not been a wake-up call to Chu Xuan?35

Of course, aside from the negative media reviews, Chu Xuan's fans are still looking forward to it.

"Magic-Chu is finally here to save sci-fi!

"Sci-Fi Fans Rejoice! 35

"It's probably another "Iron Man", hardcore sci-fi is difficult. 99

"2001: A Space Odyssey is too classic, even Chu Xuan can't match it."

"Could it be a bit like Star Trek?"

Chu Xuan has not disclosed more details of the video for the time being, so netizens can only speculate.

In everyone's impression, Chu Xuan is still a pure popcorn blockbuster.

This is the simplest and most mindless routine. As long as the fighting special effects scenes are exciting enough, it doesn't matter if the story logic is flawed.

If Chu Xuan doesn't care about word of mouth, he might be able to reap the box office like "Iron Man".

What I am most afraid of is that Chu Xuan wants to have a big scene and a high box office, but also wants to make a deep film.

This will inevitably lead to dull and lengthy literary dramas, and the visual effects are not exciting enough.

Just when fans were talking about it, Infinite Pictures once again announced a piece of news.

"The new film "Interstellar" directed by Chu Xuan invites theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, popular science writer, Caltech physics professor, this year's Nobel Prize winner in physics, Kip Thorne as a scientific advisor.

Once the news was released, netizens were shocked again (cidf).

Good guy, it's just a movie, how about inviting the Nobel Prize winner over there?

Chu Xuan really intends to shoot a hardcore sci-fi film, it seems that it is not an ordinary popcorn commercial.

Fans were both worried and excited.

They worry that this kind of hardcore sci-fi will be dull and bleak at the box office.

At the same time there is some hope.

Maybe Chu Xuan can also create a miracle this time?

Because he is Magic-Chu!

Chu Xuan has no time to pay attention to the overwhelming discussion on the Internet.

He's already started forming his own Interstellar crew!

And his partner "La La Land" photographer Van Hootema is in charge of the film's main photography.

In order to ensure the ultimate picture quality experience, Chu Xuan also used a 70mm IMAX film camera like Nolan.

The more in-depth understanding of the film industry, Chu Xuan also discovered that the visual effects brought by film cameras are indeed slightly different from digital cameras.

As for the soundtrack, one person has to be moved.

Hollywood soundtrack master, Hans Zimmer!

Regardless of Hong Kong Island movies, let's take a look at the film industry in Europe and the United States for a while, there are only two kinds of characters in the soundtrack.

One is other composers, and the other is Hans Zimmer.

Perhaps in terms of melody, there are many excellent masters.

But when it comes to the contrast of the film's atmosphere and the audio-visual experience brought to the audience, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is undoubtedly second to none.

"The Lion King", "Amazing Rock", "Breaking the Dead Island", "Pearl Harbor", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down"

Many of the world's most popular masterpieces have his figure.

Chu Xuan can actually reproduce the melody from the movie himself, but it will undoubtedly take more time to adjust.

Using the original author can complete the soundtrack faster, while ensuring that the details are in place and getting the original music.

Before "La La Land", Chu Xuan provided the basic melody, and the original soundtrack composer Justin Hurwitz composed the music.

I thought it would be a waste of time to invite a master like Hans Zimmer.

Unexpectedly, the female assistant Anna called and Hans Zimmer came to the door.

In fact, it is really difficult for the average director to let Hans Zimmer come out.

After all, he has a lot of invitations, and big directors such as Spielberg and Ridley Scott are all waiting in line for him.

But this time it was no one else who invited him, it was "The Godfather" Chu Xuan!

As a loyal fan of the film, Hans Zimmer can also collaborate with Chu Xuan.

When I came to Infinite Films and saw that Chu Xuan was really so young, Hans Zimmer had to sigh with emotion that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.

"It's really helpful for you to come. In fact, we have a certain demo melody here. You can understand it first and then go back and create it slowly."

"Once the movie shots are basically finished, you can perfect these soundtracks based on the pictures."

Chu Xuan introduced that he has simulated the melody through music production software from the original movies in the film library.

It's just that Chu Xuan is not a professional music talent, and the restoration effect is relatively rough for the time being.

Hans Zimmer was also curious.

Co-authoring and inviting me is not composing the soundtrack, but just arranging the music?

However, the melody composer of "La La Land" is also Chu Xuan, Hans Zimmer wondered, what kind of works can he make?

"Can I listen first?"

"No problem, you can tell me anything about the music."

Hans Zimmer then put on hi-fi headphones and turned on the player.

Pieces of piano melody flowed by, Hans Zimmer didn't feel anything at first, just felt ordinary.

However, the more he heard the back, the bigger his eyes widened!

Obviously it's just a simple piano melody, but Hans Zimmer seems to see the boundless universe!

If he composed the music for a sci-fi film himself, he would probably feel the same way!

This music is really written by Chu Xuan himself, he is absolutely amazing genius!

Putting down his headphones, Hans Zimmer sighed.

"Chu, are you interested in studying movie soundtracks? Seriously, I don't have the confidence to write such a melody myself."

"Mr. Hans, you've won the prize. I'll send you some more concept drawings. You can go back and get a feel for it. When the shooting is finished, you will need to go out."

"No problem! When I heard these melodies just now, I had a general idea. I have a hunch that maybe this time the soundtrack will be unusual.""

Determine the photographer, the crew, the soundtrack master... The cornfield that Chu Xuan asked for is also ready.

"Did you really find 500 acres of cornfield?

Chu Xuan also looked at Anna in surprise.

In order to meet Chu Xuan's nonsensical request, Anna Kendrick has been exhausted these two days.

She is in constant contact with the farm with her colleagues in the market and theatrical team, constantly looking for it.

Finally, I found an empty farm in Canada, North America.

The farmer here has planted more than 500 acres of corn. He was preparing for a bumper harvest when the harvest season was approaching, but he saw a few guys in suits and leather shoes.

After some bargaining and negotiation, the farmer drove out of his single-family cottage in a bewildered way.

This strange group of people bought all their corn and planned to rent his house for at least a month.

At the beginning, the farmer tried his best to insist that he would not rent or sell!

Later, looking at the $1.5 million in the bank card, the farmer fell silent.

"They gave too much.

But the farmer was curious.

These guys in suits are not like grain merchants, what are they doing with their cornfields when they have nothing to do?

It wasn't until a few months later, when he saw the thick black smoke from burning his cornfield on the screen of the movie theater, that he suddenly realized it.

Everything is ready, only the casting is left!

The casting work went hand in hand with contacting Hans Zimmer and the corn farmer.

When the farm has not been acquired, the candidates for other supporting roles have been determined.

"Interstellar" isn't a movie with a huge cast.

Male astronaut Cooper, daughter Murphy in adulthood, girlhood, female astronaut Brand, old professor, other astronauts...

The casting of the astronauts is completely in accordance with the original version.

Hearing the call of Chu Xuan, the director of "The Godfather", these little-known actors were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they decided to participate without any hesitation.

Michael Keane, who played The Old Professor, also agreed to play the role.

He has not played A Fu in "Batman Dark Knight" in the parallel world, and his popularity is not particularly high at present.

The old man is still very happy to cooperate with Chu Xuan.

As for "Rescued Professional" Matt Damon, he is a well-known Hollywood movie star and agreed to be willing to participate in Chu Xuan's film, which was decided without difficulty.

But the most important male lead, Matthew McConaughey, could not participate!

"Sorry, Chu, I'm really interested in your script, but unfortunately I'm filming "Dallas Buyers Club", and I can't leave for the past few months. It's a pity."

Matthew McConaughey schedule conflict! The original star is gone.

Chu Xuan's head hurts a bit now, so who will play the male lead?

Little plum? Atang? Pete who is not spicy?

You can't go up by yourself, can you?.
