Tim Burton chatted with DC Comics' Digg Harris for a while, leaving him there to continue watching the shooting, shook his head and turned toward his trailer.

Even though the two of them only talked for a while, he felt that the other party was a little blind. Not only Digg Harris himself, but also the ceo of DC Comics. They were overly deifying Wayne.

Of course, this is just his own feeling, and Tim Burton also admires Wayne and believes that he can continue to succeed, but this success requires a cycle and cannot continue to last.

Every master-level director will have a golden period of creation, or a period of high energy. During this period, I am like God possessed, and my talents and inspiration will continue to overflow, and no matter what kind of film I shoot, I will succeed.

And they will continue to succeed. Every director with amazing achievements will have a period of time, long or short, which is almost a consensus in the circle.

In Tim Burton's view, Wayne is the kind of director who entered the golden creation period as soon as he debuted. As soon as "The Joker" was released, he became a god prematurely.

But this period will always pass, and even Spielberg cannot stop this rule. Everyone only remembers the successful works of "et", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park" and other good-looking works, but they are not clear that he will still fail. The early "1941" still made movie fans and critics curse.

There are also David Finch, Francis Coppola, Cohen Brothers, Clint Eastwood, these famous directors, who have almost all suffered after success, and who can guarantee that they will never fail?

Even Tim Burton himself still had times of failure. He knew clearly that Wayne was indeed constantly successful now, but he must not blindly deify this young man. No one can succeed and fail.

But even if there is a mistake in the future, he feels that this young man will not fall a big fuss. Wayne is too clear-headed and seems to have maintained his original intention at all times.

In Hollywood, including celebrity directors and producers, none of them, like him, can still maintain their infancy after gaining huge wealth, success, and status in the circle, and continue to stabilize their minds to make movies one year after another. This is simply incredible.

With the nature of not changing the original intention and always keeping a clear mind, Tim Burton has a premonition that Wayne may be able to maintain this director's golden creative period for a long enough time.

Of course, he hopes that the longer the time, the better. In this circle, there are actually not many directors who can succeed and maintain a strong personal style. Apart from himself and Wayne, there is no such consistent style as the two of them.

After taking a look at the shooting scene, shaking his head hard, suppressing all the messy thoughts. Tim Burton returned to the trailer and called the third-party guarantee company.

"Let all staff finish their work and pay attention to the film that has been shot."

After the whole day of shooting, Wayne looked through the shooting plan and nodded with satisfaction. He made sure there was no problem and said to Zach Schneider.

Naomi Watts, who had problems on the first day of filming, sat alone on the side without her scenes, holding the script in her hand and constantly pondering, which was completely different from her usual playful personality.

Nina walked to the Australian beauty and patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, Nami, it's time for us to go back."

"Oh well."

After reaching out and rubbing hard on his face, Naomi Watts pulled Nina and stood up, walked with her to Wayne's car, preparing to return to the hotel with them after the crew left.

"Don't make things too difficult for yourself, Nami." The assistant lady looked at her worriedly. She was not in good condition now, and her white face was full of entanglement. "The boss knew your abilities, and the old man in the crew knew it too. No one believed that you would not be able to play such a role well."

Naomi Watts shook his head silently, sat back in the car and muttered lines. From time to time, he would read the script, control his expressions and experience and practice the heroine's emotions in advance.

Nina looked at the boss who was still standing on the set, watching the staff packing equipment, and couldn't help but say loudly again: "Nami, the working time is over, there is no need to make things too difficult for herself."

"No, you don't understand, Nina."

Naomi Watts put down the thick script in his hand, looked in the direction of the set, and whispered: "I am the heroine he decided directly. Everyone knows this. In order to let me play this role, he rejected Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie.

For this reason, even if I don’t have my scenes in Xiangjiang, I will watch with the crew every day. Since everyone knows that Wayne and I have a different relationship, I have to work harder to show off so that those who are envious and jealous and have unbalanced can’t speak.

But I almost messed up my job, and I knew in my heart what the problem was, and this feeling was very bad!”

Nina asked curiously: "Do you know what the problem is?"

"Of course." Naomi Watts pointed to his chest and said with a ugly face: "It's in my mentality. In my heart, I have already agreed that as long as Wayne is there, I will definitely succeed. I have quietly lost my earliest motivation and the kind of ruthlessness that I have to survive in this circle even if I fight my life."

After seeing how Christian Bale worked hard, she did feel her own changes today. This role is indeed not too difficult, but she almost messed up. She felt that there was something wrong with her mentality.

Since there is a problem, try to solve the problem. Naomi Watts is not a pretentious person. Of course, she will not refuse Wayne's help to her and will continue to accept it in the future.

But I can't just wait for him to help, I must show at least a qualified performance. In this way, even if someone criticizes me, I can't deny the fact that she is indeed capable of playing every role well.

"What's wrong?"

As the crew's convoy left one by one, Wayne found that the atmosphere was not right after getting in the car. The three people in the car were silent. He looked at Naomi Watts strangely, leaned on the back of the chair and asked in confusion.

The Australian beauty shook her head, smiled and hugged his arm. "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired after having my scene on the first day."

"Okay, then go back and have a break today." Wayne didn't take it seriously. The crew had so much work, so he didn't have time to pay attention to things other than work. "The temporary studio must be made out quickly. Nina, remember to tell Tim tomorrow."

"No problem, boss." The assistant lady nodded, opened the work record book and recorded it.

Today's shooting plan is generally smooth. Tom Wilkinson, who plays the gangster boss, performed very steadily on the first day. After understanding the performance effects required by the director, there were not many scenes with Christian Bale in several scenes.

If other actors can perform well, he is confident that he will end his filming in New York early.

After several movies, Wayne has entered a state that can be a little worry-free, because the core creative team has developed a great understanding after continuous cooperation and is very familiar with the director's needs.

This is very different from when he was filming the first two movies. At the beginning, Wayne told them the effects he needed, but the final shots were always different from what he explained.

Then he could only repeatedly run in again and again. He needed to constantly organize the cooperation of various jobs, including what kind of sets, what kind of lights, camera lens scheduling and camera position.

Regardless of whether the crew is big or small, the principles involved are the same. If you want to shoot a scene, start from the staff’s arrival on the set, set, props, planning the camera, debugging the lighting, actors putting on makeup, practicing moving, recording on-site, starting shooting, script monitoring, shooting lens materials, determining materials, etc.

After the day's shooting, the shooting plan for the next day must be adjusted according to the specific situation. For these complex links, as long as there is a problem with one of the middle jobs, all the plans made before shooting will be affected, and even repeated.

However, by this movie, these things that often require him to worry about are gradually missing. After a long period of cooperation, the core creative team has gradually understood the director's production philosophy, and they can also understand the director's needs well.

This greatly reduces the early running-in time that the crew has to go through, and the shooting will be smoother.

When the behind-the-scenes jobs do not drag down time, the shooting speed of the camera material is nothing more than looking at the state of the actors.

Another very important point is that Tim Burton, who took over the financial work, is a producer who fully understands the director's work. This will keep the crew running smoothly and allow the director to focus entirely on creation without having to involve energy for chores.

Now Wayne only hopes to maintain the stability of the main creative team for a long time. With their high professional level and skillful and tacit understanding of the department managers, he doesn't have to take care of everything. This is a mature production team.

If he wants to maintain such a team, and it is based on years, and there will be no excessive changes in personnel, these are what he needs to care about now.

Just like the lighting director Steve Wilson, who has worked with him since "Happy Death Day", and can still cooperate now because he will help him get better treatment with the production company, and the same goes for others.

This is a business society. Only by giving your own people more income and status can people work with you safely.

"Boss." After returning to the hotel, while Naomi Watts walked into the bathroom, Nina sat next to him and whispered the Australian girl's words.

"This is a good thing, Nina."
