behind the scenes

Anti-Bourne

action film Steven Soderbergh of 'Drug Network', 'Sex, Lies and Videotape' is also making an action movie, this news will make Many fans who like Soderbergh are surprised, because a director who prefers literary tastes starts to shoot action scenes, which is quite confusing. But with the "Rohan series" as the foundation, Soderbergh is confident in the shooting of this "Winning Shot", which can be called "the female version of "Bourne Bourne". Soderbergh said that the reason why he was attracted to this film was because of a strong female character. Such characters are indeed too few in Hollywood, so he once filmed "Call Girlfriend", which also tells the story of women. Only he was willing to make this movie. Soderbergh said: "This story is great, especially the strong woman message that it conveys, and I am delighted. In a society where men are the dominant force, it is such a good script. It moved my heart. Also, I knew there was a great female MMA athlete who was a good fit for the role, so I took on the show."

The revenge storyline isn't the point for "Winner," the action scenes are. Because the heroine Gina Carano is a professional MMA athlete, Soderbergh chose a more traditional fixed-camera shooting method. This shooting method, he called "anti-Bourne style". Soderbergh said: “We gave up on hand-held shooting, we gave up on fast editing. Everything we showed was real kung fu fighting. I thought, as a viewer, we definitely wanted to see how the fight scenes were done, so I decided to show every move and every sortie in a panorama. Not Bourne's quick cut way. Also, to highlight the tragic nature of this fight scene, I didn't have a soundtrack behind these shots that I could hear The only sound of fighting, broken bones - that's really exciting. Of course, Gina Carano punches hard, and to avoid accidents, we all dressed the actors who fought with her. non-action film actors like Fassbender and McGregor wear protective suits. When filming the action scenes, I didn't draw any storyboards, let alone give any designs. Na Carano did it herself. Then we designed the shots based on her moves. I felt more natural with this shot because every move was real, not a slap in the face at all. I think the audience will enjoy it. "A

good man matches a woman

The film has an amazing supporting cast: Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Matthew Cassavetes and more Actors are all good at being able to stand on their own, but in this film, they all exist just to set off a little-known actress: Gina Carano. Soderbergh said: "It's true that their role in the film is to give Gina more room to play, as if the stars are holding the moon, to bring out a person. It's actually a risk, because No one knows how Gina will play, and no one knows how much attention such a combination will have." Soderbergh discovered Gina Carano while watching TV, when Soderbergh was watching It was a reality TV show, he saw Gina's kung fu, and then gave her a call, hoping to find a suitable script. Coincidentally, Lem Dobbs, who worked with Soderbergh in "Kafka" and "Under the Linden Tree", brewed a script about female agents, and Soderbergh hired Gina to shoot it. this movie.

For her role in Soderbergh's film, and the heroine who was complimented by a lot of stars, Gina seemed a little "stunned by luck", she said: "I didn't expect to have such a good opportunity at all. To work with such a great group of filmmakers and to be a lead role. The director wanted me to show all the characteristics of MMA, which was not difficult, and I was very good at it. Soderbergh is a very talented, A very talented director. He understands how to show the charm of MMA. He chose a fixed camera position, used the least editing, and kept the biggest features of the performance and action. I think this is his most visionary decision. Others The actors are also excellent, and I have learned a lot from them. After I finished filming, I felt that I was just getting started, and I got a little bit of the way to make a film."
