Chapter 429: Redemption and Choice

"No, Daddy, or we'll go to Bhatt Island in the north. I heard there's a polar bear there, shall we go over and have a look?"

The little one hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly:

"I looked at the guide before I came, and I said that there should be polar bears on Butt Island..."

In this regard, Zhou Guyuan could only nod yes.

So, the little guy took her father with great interest, and the father and daughter went to Bart Island with their bodyguards and assistants.

On Bhatt Island in June, there is no snow or ice.

Global warming has made it possible to get closer to the Arctic without ice and snow.

If it were a hundred years ago, Butt Island would have been covered in snow and ice, even on a sweltering summer day.

"Hey, why aren't these big bears white?"

After arriving at Butt Island, the group drove an off-road vehicle and shuttled through the ice field.

Soon, I saw those polar bears, but their bodies were stained with a lot of mud, and their white bodies were dyed gray.

So, from a distance, it looks like a normal grizzly bear or brown bear.

The little one put down the binoculars with some disappointment, not in a particularly good mood.

What she has been looking forward to for a few years finally gets what she wants today, but the truth is not as good as she imagined.

There is nothing better in the world than what you don't get but want the most.

Just like in ancient times, everyone in the literary world wrote a lot of poems praising the moon.

But in modern times, humans can land directly on the planet of the moon.

As a result, it was discovered that the moon was not Guanghan Palace, and there were no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit.

The myth is shattered!

After leaving Alaska, the father and daughter came to their next stop, the Maple Leaf Country.

The scenery of this country is very beautiful, and the flowers and plants are very beautiful.

According to the locals, if you come back in August and September, it will be even more beautiful.

Because at that time, you can see the golden maple leaves, and the bleak beauty is even more moving.

Left the Maple Leaf Country, and then went south to North America.

This place in North America is no stranger to both fathers and daughters, but this continent is also very large, and they have never been to a large place.

I selected a few more representative scenic spots, but the two fathers and daughters had never been to them, and after looking at the flowers, they looked around and left.

Then we come to the Caribbean, where there are many small countries and all of them are cookie-cutter island nations.

The most important feature of the island country is that it is particularly rich in seafood.

For the little ones like foodies, they naturally won't let go of the local delicacies.

She was abused for days in North America, so of course she had to eat well here.

After leaving the Caribbean, it's August.

In August, the father and daughter don't have much time to play.

Therefore, the journey around the world is temporarily stopped.

returned to the magic capital from South America, the little guy went to school in the capital, and Zhou Guyuan was filming.

For the first time, the little guy went out on his own, went to a city where he was unfamiliar with life, and survived alone.

Zhou Guyuan couldn't rest assured, but she also knew that this was what she had to experience.

So, the bodyguard became an invisible bodyguard and only gave her a life assistant.

Even so, he himself followed behind him and stayed in the capital for four or five days before leaving.

He wants to make sure that the little guy can really live a good life in the capital alone, and then he can leave with peace of mind.

After returning to the magic capital, Zhou Guyuan began to write the script.

He has analyzed the films that have won the Oscar for Best Actor in the past ten years, and has also ruthlessly gone through these films over and over again.

In fact, he has watched these films many times.

However, every time he watched the movie, he had a new insight.

This is the charm of the classics, and the aftertaste is endless.

A month later, he finally came up with a script, a classic film that was originally praised on the altar in the real world.

The Shawshank Redemption.

He wasn't sure if the film would win the Oscar for Best Actor, but he had to try.

Before, didn't he shoot an award-winning movie, but didn't he still accompany him in the end?

Although the movie The Shawshank Redemption, in the real world, did not win an Oscar.

However, it does not prevent Zhou Guyuan from appreciating it.

A film that has been praised by many fans naturally has its unique charm.

So, he summoned Pan Qian, Fan Guiming and others to come over to help him with his staff.

This is the first time he has led his subordinates to discuss the feasibility of the script.

Think twice!

It is undeniable that the script is very good, and it is difficult to say whether it can be filmed well.

But everyone is very confident in him and can shoot well.

And Pan Qian is not particularly happy, because she can see that this is not a pure commercial blockbuster.

It also means that the box office of this movie will not be very good.

But no matter what, the boss's decision is the most important thing, and it is impossible for her to decide what the boss should shoot or act.

Soon, the script was finalized, and the crew began to be formed.

Most of the filming locations of the movie The Shawshank Redemption are in a closed prison.

Therefore, it is a little difficult to find a prison building in the style of the fifties and sixties of the last century, but money can make the devil grind.

I searched for a long time in the magic capital and other places, but I couldn't find it.

So, the crew with deep pockets directly paid for the construction of a prison.

The investment in the whole movie, except for the prison, the rest of the biggest expense is the actor's salary.

Zhou Guyuan must be the protagonist, the man who was taken a green hat by his wife and wrongfully sentenced to Shawshank Prison.

A banker of the social elite, who was originally a beautiful wife by his side, lived a good life.

But because of his wife's cheating, his wife and adulterer were killed by chance, and he couldn't prove that he was not the murderer, so he was sentenced to life imprisonment, and his life was tragic.

And the main supporting role of the movie, Red, was snatched up by Emperor Xie because he really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Guyuan once.

Ten years ago, the movie Infernal Affairs was robbed by Liu Tianwang, and it has always been regretted by Emperor Xie Ying.

Therefore, this time, Xie Yingdi did not hesitate to ask for cooperation.

The joining of the two major movie stars is a powerful guarantee for the Shawshank redemption movie.

It is precisely because of this that the crew's salary expenditure is very large.

Zhou Guyuan himself won't talk about it, he has always taken a share of the box office, and Xie Yingdi can only get a fixed salary due to his lack of box office appeal.

However, even if it is a fixed salary, it is very expensive.

This movie is all men's plays, and there is no heroine or supporting actress.

Even the scene where the actor's wife cheated on the coach was a montage technique, and he didn't show his face at all.

The construction of the prison is moving at a rapid pace.

In a powerful country known as an infrastructure madman, it is not too simple to build a retro prison.

What's more, it is not necessary to build all places in their entirety, and some places are basically just a framework.

When the prison was still under construction, Zhou Guyuan had already taken the crew to the beach and filmed the seaside and other plots first.

There are also plots such as court debates, the prison warden's office, and the prison library, all of which are indoor dramas.

These can be shot in advance.

By the time these indoor scenes were filmed, the prison was almost finished.

With Zhou Guyuan's current acting skills, controlling a role like banker Andy is completely handy.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that when you play against Emperor Xie Yingdi, you can't be suppressed by the other party.

Let's say, the scene where Andy and Red first came face to face.

It seems that the clouds are light and the wind is light, but in fact, it is full of vigilance, and it is difficult to be careful and tempting.

What's more, throughout the movie, it is a bland plot, without many ups and downs, and there is nothing attractive about it.

It's like, obviously reading the script is full of pictures, and there is no need to watch a movie.

Therefore, in order to make this movie brilliant, the acting skills of the actors are very important.

Xie Yingdi is now in his sixties, and it is very easy to play a criminal who has been in prison for decades.

The first scene after the film is turned on is at the beach, which is the first encounter between Andy and Red after they get out of prison.

The two major actors were racing, but the crew did not find any abnormal or very shocking scenes.

Zhou Guyuan and Zhou Guyuan both handled it very well, and vividly interpreted the reunion of the two old friends.

In this way, the next shooting is completely fast-forwarded.

Entering December, the movie was completed.

The progress of the whole movie is not fast, mainly because the prison construction is a little slow, otherwise, it can be completed half a month earlier.

After the film is completed, it moves to the later stage, and then it is the matter of release and review.

Due to the tight time, after completing the film editing, Zhou Guyuan started the preparation for the next film non-stop.

Now the little one is about to turn fifteen, and there are only three years left before he becomes an adult.

won the Oscar in three years, and Zhou Guyuan suddenly felt Alexander.

Therefore, Zhou Guyuan directly wrote two scripts, Blood is coming and Dallas Buyers Club.

The former is a historical drama film about the turn of the century in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the oil industry on the west coast of North America was booming, and a driller Daniel Plainview discovered a large oil field and became a huge fortune.

Such a story has a strong North American flavor.

Therefore, it is a little difficult for Zhou Guyuan to star in such a film.

If you want to sinicize it, it is difficult.

However, Zhou Guyuan did not plan to give up, so he could use it as an alternative first.

The Dallas Buyers Club movie tells the story of the protagonist's struggle with the disease and the North American Food and Drug Administration after being diagnosed with HIV.

It's a bit similar to the domestic I am not the god of medicine, and it is also a realistic movie.

This kind of movie has a common problem, that is, the box office is not good.

But I'm not the God of Medicine, but this movie is very evil, favored by Lady Luck, and the box office is as high as a horse.

And I'm not the God of Medicine, this movie has already been released, not to mention that it is still a little difficult for this movie to win the Oscar.

In addition to these two movies, Zhou Guyuan actually wants to make another one, The Revenant.

The Revenant is a movie in which Xiao Li Zi was crowned emperor, and his fame around the world is not low.
