What about the director
Few people realize this. After all, this is a huge production crew with 400 people. The scene of people coming and going and the flow of people always occupy the line of sight. They want to notice the presence of one person in the chaos. Absence is indeed very difficult. Unless it's Renly Hall.
As for Gareth Edwards? "Rogue No. 1" is only his third work as a director. He is still a rookie in Hollywood, and that face that is still unfamiliar to the public may be drowned even if he shows up. among the crowds.
In fact, Gareth Edwards didn't show up from start to finish, if it wasn't for executive producer Jason-D.-M who specifically found Renly and took Renly to the director's studio for an introduction , it is estimated that the director's mystery will continue for some time.
Jason McGatlin is an unfamiliar face. He used to be an administrative manager. He was promoted by Steven Spielberg and entered the studio as an executive producer. "The Adventures of Tintin" is his The first work; because of his good ability, he was recruited by Lucasfilm to act as the studio executive of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", "Rogue One" is only his fourth work - and later, He also became the exclusive on-set executive producer of the "Star Wars" series, implementing and dealing with many on-set issues throughout the series.
Garris' temperament has many similarities with the independent directors Renly worked with before. He is low-key, quiet, focused, restrained, and most importantly, professional. He is devoted to his directorial work, and his overall temperament is like a technical otaku. Only when the relevant technology is mentioned, the eyes light up, and at other times, it seems that there is not much sense of existence, and it is easily drowned in the sea of people.
From this perspective, Jason McGatlin is really understandable to worry about the way the director and the actor get along. But from Kathleen Kennedy's point of view, it is exactly the way she wants to cooperate - the director's control ability does not need to be too strong, can guide the completion of the assembly line work, and appropriately add personal style, this is enough .
Of course, this was no problem for Renly.
The conversation between Renly and Gareth went very smoothly. The two mainly discussed the composition of the entire movie screen - the grandeur of the panorama and long-range scenery must be the key point, which also means that the actors' performances need to be more concise and strip away those trivial details. , which can give the picture more vitality.
Gareth reminds Renly of Alfonso Cuaron and Christopher Nolan: the technical focus takes their expertise to a whole new level, but when it comes to acting, they're really limited in the direction they can give actors—and " "Rogue One" has a huge cast, which also means that it will take a while for the next shooting to find the correct performance rhythm, but this is also one of the joys of acting.
At least Renly thought so.
Next, the official meeting and script reading meeting of the "Rogue One" crew kicked off with laughter and laughter, and the journey started smoothly.

On the first official script reading meeting of the entire cast - not only because of the large number of roles in the film, but also the number of actors is a spectacular number, a little carelessness may lead to blindness; and because the actors in the cast are generally low-key, more active in Independent films, and even theatrical stages, have limited recognition. Ultimately, every actor must stand up to introduce himself and explain his role.
It's as if when you first entered the acting academy, the first thing in every class was to stand up and introduce yourself generously and confidently—introduce yourself generously and tirelessly. This is the first lesson to be an actor, whether it's a movie Whether it is a drama or a TV, the interview process has to go through challenges and shocks over and over again, and the self-confidence brought about by self-introduction becomes more and more important.
Of course, the actual situation is bound to be different.
Renly, who stood up first, was given special treatment.
"Hi, my name is Renly Hall..."
The self-introduction had just begun, and some people started booing, "I know that everyone knows it," "Does anyone still know Master Renly?" Sound, really lively.
Renly, who was "besieged", didn't mind either. He raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to take it easy. "I know a lot of gentlemen at the scene are jealous of my popularity among ladies..." The scene was full again. He laughed, "But I still have to be prepared. There is always someone at the scene who doesn't know me. Before I become more arrogant and forget my name, I think I still need to remind myself all the time."
The laughter broke out completely.
Even Gareth, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't help but laugh.
"Next... yes, I'm about to play in a movie... uh, sorry, the names in space are a little hard to pronounce, it always feels like it's made up, I need to confirm the pronunciation. But I'm more confused, Luke- Skywalker's name is very American, I don't know what went wrong with our crew, I think I may not be suitable for living in space..."
Laughing all over the place!
Many people even slapped the table to express their agreement-about the name, this has become a stalk of all the actors, and the screenwriter Chris-Weitz, sitting in the back row of the actors, raised the script to cover his face and pretended to be himself Absence: He's in charge of writing the script's dialogue anyway; the script's story framing was written by John-Knoll and Gary-Whitta.
"He was supposed to be a captain, I remember. Yes, Captain Cassian-andor, by the last name, he was supposed to be a prince. So, I think I should be a little more gentlemanly, so, I don't Turned the blame on the screenwriter, and passed the baton to our... er... Miss Jean Erso."
The laughter couldn't stop at all, and Felicity-Jones cast a grateful glance at Renly - the nervousness disappeared without a trace in the happy atmosphere of the audience.
Thanks to Renly's easy opening, the script reading session went very smoothly, and the actors were trying to find a tacit understanding in step-by-step attempts to prepare for the next official shooting; but it turned out that the script reading session was a one-off However, the actual filming is another matter. The smoothness of the script reading, but the smoothness of the actual filming cannot be guaranteed - the actual performance is different after all.
The first scene, to be precise, ran into trouble.
Like other high-cost large-scale productions, "Rogue One" did not complete the shooting in chronological order, but started shooting according to the schedule of the studio and the shooting base, which also meant that the sequence of the plot was all disrupted, and the actors must The script has a clear enough understanding of the front and back of the character to ensure that he can show the accurate performance quality in each scene, so as to prevent the audience from being aware of the abnormality.
Of course, the core idea of commercial blockbusters is not to tap the inner growth of each character, which also means that the actor's performance needs a context, and it is not too difficult. As for the level, it is an additional bonus - for most For the director, he would rather not have this part of the exploration and avoid breaking the narrative rhythm and overall style.
The first scene of the official launch of "Rogue One", choose a plot after the beginning of the story, and connect all the characters who appeared in the front.
Jyn-Esso, who is serving a sentence in prison, was "rescued" - or "hijacked" by the rebels to their secret base when she was transferred to the detention center. The Rebels got word that the Empire was building a planet-destroying weapon, and a key figure in the process was Jyn Erso's father, Galen Erso - who was kidnapped by the Empire fifteen years ago, when he was young Young Jyn-Erso witnessed her mother being shot and was lucky enough to escape the clutches of the Empire and was rescued by Saw-Gerrera, who was also a rebel.
Now, the rebels need Jean-Erso's cooperation to find Thor-Grera, who left the rebels because of disagreement with the idea, and used extreme means to create violence on different planets to resist the empire, and then hope to get further clues about weapons, And I hope that Jean-Esso can locate Galen-Esso through So-Grera, and the rebels will go out to stop the construction of weapons and prevent the iron hoof of the empire from going further to other corners.
Capt. Cassian Andor of the Rebellion will accompany Jean Erso on this mission.
The first scene of the movie chose the scene where the resistance army and Jean-Esso had the first direct contact. This scene can connect many characters and clues to lay the basic framework for the whole story, for the actors, for the director, for the performance, etc. By the way, this is the most appropriate play.
Obviously, the content of this scene is very rich, not only the lines but also the story, and most importantly, there are many characters, it is not easy to shoot; but in comparison, it is simpler for director Gareth. , the scheduling and control in a small scene is easier.
So, where is the problem
actor.
To be precise, a group of actors, including Felicity Jones, Angus-Wright, May-Bell, etc., had problems with their performances, Even though Renly was in it, he couldn't save the whole scene on his own—not to mention that the heart of the scene was not him, but Felicity.
"Card!"
Gareth Edwards has interrupted filming for the eighth time, not because of wrong lines or accidents, the whole performance has been completed smoothly without stumbling, but Gareth's deep frown is hinting: his love for this scene. The performance is still unsatisfactory, and very unsatisfactory.
So, where is the problem
