That year Huayu

Just do it.

For this special movie, Lin Nan is now full of eager desire to shoot.

Tom showed extraordinary organizational skills and assembled a crew in two days.

"As long as there is a guild, these are very simple."

Lin Nan has to admit that the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild still has some advantages, including a large number of actors with good acting skills who are not expensive.

Props are also designed very quickly.

Not only does it need to be a thickened wooden coffin so that it looks realistic when the protagonist pushes it with maximum strength, but it also needs to be designed so that the camera can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the protagonist when filming...

In Hollywood, as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do.

The budget of the movie is only over one million dollars. This is the cost after excluding Lin Nan's director's fee and screenwriter's fee.

It's just the remuneration of the actors and staff, as well as the cost of props, and even the post-production is handed over to Crystal Pictures.

"For this movie, my shooting time plan is half a month to twenty days, Ryan, do you understand?"

Lin Nan said while looking at the starring role he chose.

Ryan Reynolds, who has been brewing for two days, nodded.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

“For the past two nights, I slept in a coffin, and I also lay in it during the day, trying my best to absorb my emotions, empty my brain, and awaken my subconscious.

Director, I think I can try shooting first and gradually get into the best condition..."

Lin Nan understood what the other party meant, and he also understood that this kind of scene can only enter the state again and again during real shooting, and get close to the most realistic state again and again.

"Then let's get started."

The recorders are in place, the lights are in place, the equipment is in place...

"action!"

…………

Domestically, the box office performance of "The Golden Jacket" is beyond the reach of many other films.

"Scarred City", shot by the original production team of "Infernal Affairs", only replaced the screenings of "Ink Attack" and "Yun Shui Yao" in the film schedule.

The performance of "Hurt City" was very weak on the first day. The 100 million box office target in the mainland that the crew shouted suddenly felt a lot hollow, not to mention the previous talk of shaking "The Golden Jacket".

As the box office grew, the reputation of "The Golden Jacket" also began to decline.

"The city is full of big-breasted girls..."

"Besides the anus and the breasts, is this how a battle is fought? A siege with heaps of men? Where are the weapons? It's weird if you win!"

The rationality of the plot of "Golden Armor" has been seriously questioned.

While Lin Nan was filming, she also paid attention to domestic public opinion reports on "Golden Armor".

To describe it as a flood of bad reviews is an understatement.

Some media use the term "three bad movie brothers" to describe: "The Promise", "The Banquet" and "The Golden Jacket".

Zhang Yimou was coerced by Zhang Weiping. It can be said that half of the current domestic box office is contributed by Jay Chou's fans.

It’s not easy to make money, shit…

Ryan Reynolds lies in the coffin, and Lin Nan observes through the camera inside.

The best effect of this movie is to take one shot to the end, with the actors doing it in one go and the shot not interrupting.

This is Lin Nan's ideal situation, but reality often does not allow it.

After NGing several times, Ryan Reynolds buried his head in the water. He wanted to use this method to get himself into that state quickly.

Brain hypoxia, anxiety, fear, panic, confusion...

The oxygen in the coffin is getting less and less, causing suffocation and dizziness. In the limited time, he has to perform everything, and the experience school may be more suitable for this occasion.

After communicating with Ryan Reynolds about the coffin used for filming, the latter chose an airtight one to strive for authenticity.

Lin Nan specially hired emergency personnel to stay on the set, including psychiatrists and insurance companies.

Ryan Reynolds, who was pale and wet, smiled and said, "Director, I think I can try again."

"good."

…

Nortel has become more and more famous in the past two years, and its loose policy towards current students taking on roles has given the school an advantage, at least in the market.

After graduating from the 2002 class, the most famous among current students is Yang Mi, who is called "the new endorsement king of 2006" by many media.

After the admissions brochure came out, the Nortel Admissions Office was packed with people inquiring because the phone lines had already been busy.

It is a fact that the enrollment has been reduced, but the number of people who want to take the Nortel exam has definitely increased a lot, and there are more people than China Theater and Shangda Theater. Fighting for connections and finding connections has become the choice of many people.

Lin Nan, who is far away in Hollywood, has received many messages from people, hoping to help with recommendations.

Lin Nan didn't reply at all. There are thirty places in the performance department, and more than ten thousand people are competing for them this year. It's simply terrifying.

Wen Tsai-ren took the time to visit the studio. "Happy Death Day" has been in theaters for about twenty days and is about to start filming.

As a distributor, Lionsgate can easily obtain box office data faster and earlier than Lin Nan knows.

"Would you like to hear the latest box office results?"

Looking at Wen Ziren's expression, Lin Nan knew it was good news.

"How much?"

"It's more than 75 million, but I don't think it will reach 80 million before the painting is finished." Wen Ziren still felt a little regretful.

"It's already very good. Have you forgotten how much our cost is? If you are your own boss, no matter how much you earn, it will never be too little!"

Lin Nan joked.

"Haha, that's the truth. By the way, how's the filming going here?"

Lin Nan glanced at Ryan Reynolds who was adjusting his condition outside.

"I originally wanted to try to shoot it all in one shot, but it was a bit unrealistic. Fortunately, the progress is going well. Ryan is a dedicated person. Almost half of the filming has been completed so far."

Wen Tsai-ren was greatly shocked. In just a few days, half of an award-winning film was shot, and it didn't require much post-production.

Lin Nan discovered something during the past few days of filming. It turns out that not only domestic actors are obsessed with awards, but also the whole world.

Ryan Reynolds had been talking about going to Berlin several times, and Lin Nan suspected that he was crazy.

Who knew he said something, "Director, in Hollywood, all top actors are chasing awards. Box office is only temporary, awards are lifelong..."

After giving many examples, Lin Nan couldn't refute them.

Wen Zairen watched the set for a while and then left.

Tom has already replied to Paul Schrader on behalf of Lin Nan. Lin Nan will take his work to this film festival, although it may be a little later, but he will definitely submit the film before the deadline.

"New World" was brought to the United States by CJ, and Lin Nan took the time to meet with the person in charge of their trip.

"Director Lin, the response to this movie after it was released in our country has been very good. It has already set several new movie viewing records. Hollywood hopes to get the rights to adapt it..."

The screenwriter is Lin Nan, and he is also the producer. The transfer of the script adaptation rights cannot bypass him.

"I don't care about this, as long as my rights and interests are protected." Lin Nan's attitude was very clear.

"Please rest assured, CJ looks forward to long-term cooperation with you in the future..."

…

Yue Jun sent an email to Lin Nan. The ratings of "Soldier Assault" on the TV station were very good, and the Internet spread brought a lot of attention to the show.

According to the price previously discussed with Lin Nan, the second round of broadcasting circles has been sold. In addition, the new script has been submitted and is currently waiting for the process.

Lin Nan has not told anyone else about this script, which saves trouble. The normal review time is one to two months. This time he did not jump in the queue because the drama will most likely not be released in the first half of next year, so he is not in a hurry. ,Take it easy.

Filming of "Buried Alive" continues.

In the camera, Ryan Reynolds' face appeared as gray as when he was hypoxic, his hand movements did not stop at all, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

Lin Nan could see that Ryan Reynolds was in good shape.

If we keep performing like this, maybe the shooting time can be shortened further.

Half an hour later, a tired Ryan Reynolds was helped out by the staff. With his eyelids drooping, he asked Lin Nan, "Director, is this okay?"

"Great, keep it up, maybe we can look forward to the Silver Bear for Best Actor."

"Ahem, I will be very satisfied if I can be shortlisted. I have to go to sleep for a while, my head hurts..."

"Go ahead."

Lin Nan said.

This movie was shot so fast, most of the scenes were in coffins, and it was almost finished in the blink of an eye, and the leading actors were really working hard.

Lin Nan counted the time difference and chatted with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei heard that Chengtian signed a contract with director Zhang Li and held a large cocktail party for this purpose. Wang Jinghua introduced her artists one by one.

"You don't even know what they said about "The Golden Armor" directed by Yimou."

"How to say?"

"Called: A murder caused by a pile of steamed buns, haha."

Liu Yifei laughed out loud.

Lin Nan remembered that Liu Yifei had wanted to audition.

"It's a good thing you didn't go."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei asked confused.

"Stay there, you won't fit in with the crowd, you'll be too small."

"Lin Nan, you are dead, just wait for me..."

Lin Nan smiled and put the phone away from his ear, "Thankfully you didn't go."

"I don't want to talk to you." Liu Yifei on the other end said coldly.

Lin Nan could imagine that she was so angry that she couldn't let it out.

Finally, Liu Yifei said a few harsh words and went to bed.

But what Liu Yifei said is true. "The Golden Jacket" was not only scolded by the audience, but also by many colleagues in the industry.

Jia Zhangke has been blasting Zhang Yimou from a distance recently. "The Golden Armor" has occupied most of the domestic screens, leaving no room for other films to survive.

The latter's answer is more direct: it is unethical for some directors to blame others for their poor performance.

All in all, it's all about money.

"Twilight" was also being filmed over there, and Lin Nan would occasionally ask about the progress.

The post-production special effects are still in progress in an orderly manner. He takes time to watch this every day, and spends the rest of the time on the set.

Lin Nan considered whether to modify or delete the dialogue between the kidnapper and the hostage in "Buried Alive".

Wen Ziren gave Lin Nan some advice.

"With this passage, the movie will have an extra layer of anti-war meaning. Don't worry about touching politics. It's okay to criticize the United States and the president in Hollywood. Furthermore, this line is very true... "

Lin Nan nodded in agreement.

This dialogue can sublimate the movie even more, and the intention is suddenly raised.

The more Lin Nan thought about it, the more he felt that this film had to go to film festivals, and it would be a pity not to go.

There are many movies that are just not confident and miss opportunities, including "Buried Alive" by The Original Time and Space.

Ryan Reynolds seems to care more about the filming of the movie than Lin Nan. Once he has a feeling, he will urge the crew to start shooting.

After consulting a psychiatrist, Lin Nan accepted his behavior, fearing that the actor would appear claustrophobic or depressed, which would be troublesome.

He remembered that at that time, the lead actor suffered from depression for a period of time after filming this movie, and it took a long time to recover.
