Director's travel complex
Director John Madden is not a person who loves to travel, but every time he goes out for work reasons, he will treat this kind of business trip as a travel. He said: "Most of my travel history requires work. So travel is a lingering complex for me. I have heard a lot of people say that they only realize the meaning and benefits of travel after they retire. class, but I don’t want to retire yet, so travel has always been a kind of work.” Under the “brewing” of such a life attitude, John Madden came up with the idea of making a film about the story of travel, he said : "I think what happens during the trip is the most interesting, because when you are away from home, many things have to be solved by yourself, and in foreign countries, people who are unfamiliar in life will also have many living habits, culture, etc. Conflict over things. There's going to be a lot of stories here."
With that in mind, John Madden created The Grand Hotel, based on Deborah McGurk's novel These Foolish Things, set in a tourist resort in northern India. It tells a series of interesting things encountered by several elderly British people here. John Madden said: "Such a story can show people's character, temper, habits, etc., and the foreign environment and cultural conditions are also very conducive to setting up conflicts, contradictions and making jokes. Filming in India , it's not simple, because the local ZF has given us a lot of restrictions, not only on the content of the shooting, but also on the shooting time. The local people like to run to see what's new. Not only adults, but even children They all came to watch the fun. Many people recognized Dev Patel, and they almost came to see this young actor. Although it was very troublesome, but under our persuasion and arrangement, the filming was successfully completed. " Gold-
medal actor
The style of British stars has never disappeared, but many British actors often play supporting roles in some films, which are often ignored. Since the "Harry Potter" series brought the topic of British actors back to the mainstream film circle, a group of well-established old actors has become the hottest topic in the entertainment circle. The cast of "Foreign Hotel" is luxurious, led by Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, with Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson partnering, plus the star of "Slumdog Millionaire" The new darling of the screen, Dev Patel, joined, and the entire crew was star-studded. Regarding the film's cast, John Madden said: "This group of BAFTA's best actors is indeed my greatest asset, because these actors not only have acting skills, but also have the most valuable experience. They understand how to make films in foreign countries. , and also understand how to create a character. This film is a film that relies on the performance of actors in groups. If any actor's performance is lacking, the film will not be successful. And there is an important problem. , that is, the performances in the film are all opposite scenes, full of interaction, and these old actors understand how to play with others."
In addition to the actors, the strength of the film's behind-the-scenes team should not be underestimated. Producer Graham Broadbent, soundtrack Thomas Newman, and photographer Ben Davis are all well-known names in the industry. John Madden said: "This kind of behind-the-scenes team is what I and every director dreams of. Because when these people get together, we can imagine what the film will look like and have high hopes for it. It was definitely a blessing for me to work with this group of people. Although filming in India was full of outside pressure and all kinds of little troubles. But I should say that this collaboration was very enjoyable because with the Working with talented people, my own creativity seems to have improved." The film is based on Bora
McGurk
's novel These Foolish Things.
·The location of the film was selected in Jaipur, India. In many of the previous films, John Madden also put the location of India in this one.
