[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

The new film genius

As a director, gil kenan has a baby face comparable to that of a teenager, and he has become famous before graduation-in his own words, this is rare in the film industry. When Crane was still studying at UCLA, he showed his incredible talent in movies on the topic of prodigy and hyperactive personality. His short film "The Lark" made a deep impression on people at school. Producer robert zemeckis immediately left a deep impression on him and introduced him to the famous director Steven Allan Spielberg ... But what surprised Crane most was that Spielberg seemed to admire himself and immediately asked him to direct "The Monster House". This animated film, which was released in 2006, won an Oscar nomination for Crane, which quickly made him the most watched young film rookie in Hollywood studios.

This is the second film directed by gil kenan, which is adapted from Jeanne Duprau's juvenile fantasy novel of the same name. As soon as the original novel was released, it occupied the list of American best-selling novels at the fastest speed, with the support of countless die-hard fans behind it. Now that it has been put on the big screen, it will naturally be expected as never before. Crane said: "Since four years ago, the story told in the original novel has never left me. In fact, I had read the manuscript of the novel before I decided to be a director for Monster House, and I was finally able to find the novel as I wished. I remember that I just got my doctorate at that time. It should be after my short film "Lark" won the "spotlight award" of the school ... I just left the campus and had no specific career plans for the future. The best I can do is walk around and tell people who are willing to listen to my thoughts. Almost at this time, people from Playtone Film Company gave me a novel called Twilight, which was taken from a bookseller. After I read the whole story, it quickly took over my brain and short-circuited all my nervous systems. I didn't expect to find a story that contains all the viewpoints and themes I care about. After reading the novel, I began to imagine what it looked like on the big screen. At the same time, I also found that its visual images are not evenly distributed. Screenwriter caroline thompson and I realized that we had a lot of work to finish. First, try to concentrate the dialogue part on the novel, especially the part involving solving puzzles or setting puzzles. It is best to turn the language into a picture, which is not only more impactful but also more intuitive. "

Tom Hanks, who appeared as a producer this time, not only played an indelible role in the choice of actors, but also helped gil kenan a lot in the whole production process. Crane said: "It's really a rare little luck for me to make Hanks our producer ... His participation is not limited to shooting, but also specializes in the original novel, which pointed us in the right direction when writing the script. He stayed with us from beginning to end, and he was even more supportive of the story materials we chose for the film. He intends to support it all the time. He is our most loyal and reliable partner. "

[Edit this paragraph] Let the scene serve the story

When the film takes "Twilight" as the story background and the link between the past and the future, gil kenan finds that he is really facing the biggest challenge he has ever experienced in the film industry. He said: "For me, the biggest crux of filming this film is how to sublimate it into a real storyteller to the greatest extent in my just-started director career, and the means I finally chose is kindness. In Twilight, what really dominates is a kind of emotional maintenance on the edge of the critical point, which I have never experienced during the period of Monster House, because the film focuses on a simple linear relationship, focusing on a house filled with human souls, which is not as complicated as the relationship in Twilight, nor is it interesting as this film can dig out. From any point of view, the city in the film shoulders the heavy responsibility of a role, which is very different from giving life to an inanimate entity in Monster House. " Just like a real person, a shining city has a beating heart, which is getting weaker and weaker, and needs the stimulation of external energy to regain its vitality. Not only that, the city also has a nerve center-the brain, and everyone who appears in it has a unique connection with it, whether in the past, present or future. I ask all the actors involved in the filming to reflect on the development of their relationship with other human characters in this unique world before shooting each set of scenes, and then infer their position in this city and their relationship with the city itself. "

This time, gil kenan is committed to building a brand-new future world, because he really doesn't want to waste this hard-won opportunity. He went on to say, "I think the key to making the whole story really work is to remember that it always focuses on people's characters, not vivid pictures and special effects scenes." Of course, in this kind of film works, the interaction between the characters and the surrounding environment is inevitable, but in fact, Twilight really focuses on how to unlock the files hidden in the city of The Secret Behind: the iron box can only be said to be a fuse, which provides some information that can help you have a deeper understanding and understanding of the city itself ... So what I want to say is that in the film, the combination of characters and scenes,

Indeed, creating an "eternal place" for movies is undoubtedly a realistic problem for gil kenan. He not only became a "guest" at various conferences, but also carefully avoided any visual clues that might show the age of the story. Crane said: "In this regard, we unanimously adopted a methodology-related approach. Martin laing, the artistic director of this film, and I have been discussing it from the beginning. Every decision we make is based on a real architect's perspective, including various obvious signs, design styles, colors and feelings. Every decoration in Twilight has its meaning. Then, you put a residential structure with a complete transformation system in it, so that this fictional place finally has its ideology, which is enough to carry a story ... As long as we always adhere to the policy formulated at the beginning, even if there are occasional minor accidents to deal with, it is normal, but in the whole process, we have indeed eliminated many things that may not be considered.
