Non-famous Actor

427 S Elm Dr, Beverly Hills

This villa was given to Sun Hao by Harvey Weinstein in 2002, and it is currently registered under the name of Zeng Li.

According to the work plan drawn up by Sun Hao, the crew will shoot the exterior scenes in Los Angeles for about two months, and then move to the inland island city to shoot the scenes in the studio in the Oriental Movie Metropolis.

Therefore, Sun Hao did not choose to stay in the hotel like the crew, but let Tom Cruise, who drove him, send him here.

Very bearable!

On the way here, Tom Cruise just asked "Director, where are you going?", and then he didn't speak again, and Sun Hao also understood what he meant.

This handsome guy who is very famous in the international film circle has already entered the role in advance, because the crew will first shoot the third part of the "Batman Trilogy" - The Dark Knight Rises!

In the plot of this one, Batman disappeared into the night, and it has been a full 8 years, and he also transformed from a hero overnight to a fugitive who had to die.

Since you are a fugitive, you should be silent!

"Well..., very good!"

At the entrance of the villa, Sun Hao opened the door and got out of the car, and the moment he took off the luggage, he gave Tom Cruise a thumbs up.

"director…"

"Um?"

"Based on the role setting in "The Dark Knight Rises of Batman", I can't be excited, but I can't help it. The world's number one commercial film director praised me for my preparations. I must have means..."

At this point, Tom Cruise stopped, and then grinned at Sun Hao.

"Ha ha…"

Seeing this situation, Sun Hao laughed.

In the midst of Sun Hao's laughter, his complexion turned into the cold Tom Cruise again, he waved to him, said goodbye, and drove away in his silver retro sports car Porsche 928.

Tom Cruise who gave away left.

However, Sun Hao did not enter the house, but stood at the door of the villa and waited quietly...

It didn't take long, in less than five minutes, a huge red Lincoln Navigator sped up from behind.

"Hey, director, shall we meet again?"

Angelina Jolie, a beautiful woman with thick lips, braked the car firmly in front of Sun Hao, then lowered the window, and greeted him by lying on the window.

"Yeah, what a coincidence!

However, you do speak Chinese well. Could it be that you still learned this sentence from Jiang Wen? "

"Not any more!

When I heard Jiang Wen said that you like foreign actresses who speak Chinese very much, I specially hired a Chinese tutor for myself. "At this time, Angelina Jolie was very honest, but when the words came to this point, the beauty suddenly looked left and right, lowered her voice, and said:

"Director, I often pay attention to your Chinese entertainment gossip news, and found that you have at least three or four lovers outside, but none from abroad.

So, I guess, you probably don't like to hear a woman say oh my god when you are working, but you like her to say brother in Chinese, how are you? "

puff…

Hearing Angelina Jolie's words clearly, Sun Hao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

I thought that this beautiful woman with thick lips would talk to me about Hollywood gossip, but I didn't expect her to analyze this very seriously...

Fuck, I have to say, this beauty has such a big brain!

"director…"

"Um?"

"Let me ask you, am I going to play Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Then would you like to see my preparations?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just let me play the catwoman in your house, um..., and I can say how good you are, brother, in Chinese!"

At this point, Angelina Jolie's eyes suddenly became charming, and the tip of her tongue was slightly exposed from her red lips.

"Well, forget it..."

Sun Hao hesitated, then pushed his luggage into the house.

"Pfft..."

Looking at Sun Hao's back, Angelina Jolie smiled lightly, then kicked the accelerator, and the huge red Lincoln Navigator disappeared into the street.

……………

Someone once said that what Hollywood actors fear most may not be directors and producers, but insurance companies.

In fact, this statement is not unreasonable!

An important part of American film insurance is cast insurance. If an actor or director is absent from filming due to injury, illness or other reasons, the insurance company will pay for additional losses in order to complete the filming.

Sun Hao's most loyal partner, Allianz's film insurance company Fireman's Fund underwrote more than 80% of Hollywood movies in 2003, and it wrote in its 2003 evaluation report that a film costing 100 million U.S. dollars For a movie, if the actor stops work for one day due to illness, he can get compensation of 1 million U.S. dollars.

Cast insurance, as standard equipment for each film, is also the largest expenditure in a film insurance. The premium is charged at 3%-5% of the insured amount. Once the film is shut down, the insurance company will bear huge responsibilities.

Therefore, in advance, the insurance company will carefully evaluate the risks of a certain film project, from the script to the producer to the director to the crew and then to every actor in the crew. If one of the risks is too high, then I am sorry, the insurance company The company will refuse to cover the...

But such an iron law will completely fail when it comes to Sun Hao.

The scene of the school bus crashing into the building needs to be shot in real life, it doesn’t matter, the insurance is enough.

Walking the tightrope between the two buildings, the clown can't use a stand-in. Leslie Cheung, the superstar of Hong Kong Island, will do it himself. It doesn't matter, the insurance is enough.

Airborne from the transport plane, the British action superstar Jason Statham can't use a stand-in, and he can go into battle in person, it doesn't matter, the insurance is enough.

There is a chase scene that requires 200 vehicles, including 50 stunt cars, and the most thrilling shots have to be shot on-site on the busiest Las Vegas Boulevard.

The scene of blowing up the plane... Wait, don't ask any more, as long as it is a movie directed by Sun Hao, it will be underwritten directly.

If you ask why?

Damn, what film director in the world dares to take an insurance company to openly rob a rich man in a certain place, um..., to be precise, it is the Cai family in Taipei.

Selling the assets of the Cai family at a low price, Fireman’s Fund made a profit of 70 to 80 million U.S. dollars just for this one order, it doesn’t feel too good!

However, having said that, the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed.

For example, in order to achieve the "safe and controllable state" required by the insurance, the insurance company will send a medical team and Loss-control reps (out-of-control alert representatives) to the set as soon as the filming starts, to monitor the set's risks at any time, and no risk can be escaped. Out of the eyes of the insurance company.

January 27, 5:30pm

The street lights on both sides of Sunset Boulevard had just been turned on, and Sun Hao had just arrived here, when two people greeted him immediately.

"Hi director, I'm Paul Clinton, the security representative of Fireman's Fund insurance company, and this is my assistant Sophia.

During the filming of the Batman Trilogy, there were just the two of us with the crew, oh yeah, and two sets of personal doctors on call. "

"Do you know the rules?"

Sun Hao, who was observing the traffic situation on Sunset Boulevard, asked casually.

"Know!

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, completely treat yourself as an invisible person, if you talk too much, you will be kicked out of the crew immediately. "The young man named Paul Clinton finished his report and saluted Sun Hao.

"Haha... let's go!"

Sun Hao laughed and waved his hands.

"Actually, you don't need to make yourself so nervous. There are safety hazards in our crew. You should say it. If you can point it out in time, I will give you a bonus in private."

"Hey, how many can there be?" The young man smiled and rubbed his hands.

"It's more expensive than asking your uncle to give a speech!"
