Hollywood, Golden Lion Headquarters.

"They're already hiring at the Screen Actors Guild?"

In the general manager's office, Smith-Mayer heard the news from the secretary and said with some surprise: "It seems that this Wei Xun really plans to shoot a movie in twenty days." ”

I have to say that the Chinese people are really bold.

Baldwin, who was sitting across from Smith, heard this and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Meyer, this time, I will definitely clean him up for you." Of course, if you're not feeling relieved enough, we can do a little more while they're shooting......"

This $10 million bet has been circulating in the Hollywood film industry at the moment.

Everyone is mocking this Chinese man for being crazy.

When Smith Mayer heard the news of the bet, he called Baldwin over, and incidentally learned that Wei Xun and others were already recruiting people in the Screen Actors Guild and were ready to start filming the '20 days can be done' movie.

"Man, a garbage movie made with a 20-day shooting cycle, are you still afraid that you can't handle it, let me do it? If it gets out, Golden Lion and I will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole Hollywood. ”

Hearing Baldwin's words, Smith-Meyer mocked: "Listen, it's your shit luck to make 10 million from the Huaxia people who bet on you, but you'd better pray that "Ghost Baby" can bring a considerable return to the Golden Lion, otherwise I dare to guarantee that you will completely lose the Golden Lion as a partner." ”

Baldwin's face stiffened when he heard this, and he sneered: "I understand, Mr. Meyer, please rest assured, there will be no "White Shark" situation this time. ”

"Then take your movie and run the promotion. ”

Smith said with a playful expression: "The Golden Lion will cooperate with you to make publicity, when you see our movie advertisement on the Internet, can Wei Xun still make his own movie with peace of mind?"

After all, the movie of the gambling opponent has already been announced, and Wei Xun's movie has just begun to recruit people.

Although he has never put a 20-day crash movie in his eyes, such a propaganda method is also a psychological blow to the enemy.

Baldwin rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Smith, I have a good idea, we can publish the news of this gambling contract on the Huaxia Internet. Haven't you always felt that Wei Xun's status in Huaxia is getting higher and higher, and he has reaped a lot of box office. After this failure in Hollywood, he returned to China in a gloomy manner, and he will definitely be boycotted by the Chinese people. ”

Smith-Meyer's eyes lit up and he smiled: "You will come up with an idea, quickly take a picture of your notarization contract to me, and I will immediately arrange for someone to go to Huaxia's network to do public relations marketing." ”

This time, he wants to be like the collapse of Bai Qianqi back then, and press down a rising star in the film industry in China again!

Wei Xun didn't know that Smith Mayer and Baldwin were secretly preparing to make a bad move.

In fact, he doesn't have the time to care about others now.

The bet with Baldwin looks like a battle of will, but in fact, the bet is secondary, and the most important thing is to let the Chinese win in Hollywood and bring confidence to everyone.

Therefore, the first task at this stage is to shoot "Chainsaw".

The film is very well made, there are not even ten actors in the whole movie, and the main scene is in an empty and abandoned toilet.

Bao Qiang went to the actors' union to pick actors.

Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang are responsible for lighting and photography, as for the equipment, here in Hollywood, it is too easy to rent the crew's shooting equipment.

In just one night, Wei Xun has sketched out the simple storyboard of "Chainsaw", and the lines are even simpler, making some lip notes to let the actors understand the meaning and then play on their own.

It's not that Wei Xun is lazy or in a hurry, when "Chainsaw" was filmed, the conditions were even more humble than they are now.

On the morning of 8.3, which is also the first day of this 10 million bet, "Saw Horror" was inside an abandoned factory outside Hollywood, ready to start filming.

Wei Xun hired a few workers, and they would help to modify the abandoned factory slightly, and when the time came, whether it was an abandoned toilet or a few violent scenes, it would be able to simulate.

Basically, more than 80% of the footage of this film will be shot in this modified factory.

The actor and assistant director Kang Cheng was pushed in front of the camera without even putting on makeup. He plays Adam, a young private investigator who wakes up and finds himself trapped in an abandoned toilet.

And another character with more scenes is the doctor who is trapped in the toilet with Adam, Lorenz Gordon.

To put it more simply, Adam and Gordon were kidnapped, I don't know who kidnapped them, I don't know why they were kidnapped, but these details will be revealed little by little in the later plot.

It is worth mentioning that in the original "Chainsaw", the actor Adam played the actor and the screenwriter of this movie.

You can see how pitiful this small workshop movie is.

It's just such a movie that is not favored by anyone, and it was made like a fool in just ten days, and it has exploded at the global box office, ratings, and word-of-mouth like a miracle!

Wen Ziren, the director of "Chainsaw", became famous because of this and entered the ranks of international directors.

But for now, everyone in the abandoned factory at the moment, except for Wei Xun, has no confidence in this movie.

That's right, after a night of preparation and a morning of preparation, "Saw Horror" is about to start filming in this abandoned factory.

The toilet is available in the factory, and it can be photographed with a slight change.

In another scene, workers are renovating next door.

"It's good, the actors are already in place, the cinematographer and gaffer are all the big directors to help personally, and there is no crew that is more top-notch than ours. ”

Wei Xun sat behind the main camera and said teasingly: "But it seems that everyone has no energy. ”

A small workshop film, what is worth the spirit.

Not to mention Wei Xun, even when Kang Cheng didn't sign a contract with the dynasty and was an independent filmmaker himself, the small-budget movie "No One Celebrates the New Year" was more like a movie crew than "Chainsaw".

It's like now, a proper grass platform team.

If what Wei Xun said yesterday was a little enthusiastic, and everyone still thought that they could really conquer Hollywood, then now seeing the configuration of "Chainsaw", the four young directors are cold in their hearts, and no one answers Wei Xun's ridicule.

But Wei Xun doesn't care what they think, it's the most important thing to shoot the movie first.

So, seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's start shooting, two of you, are you ready?"

This is naturally the two male protagonists of "Chainsaw", Kang Cheng, and the rice native who plays the doctor Lorenz Gordon, Charles.

This Charles was picked by Bao Qiang from the actors' union.

Hearing Wei Xun's question, Charles raised his hand and confirmed again: "Hey, guys, are you sure you don't need to match the lines, don't need rehearsals, or even tell me about the play, just start filming directly." I don't even know anything now except that the name of the movie I'm going to shoot is Saw. Of course, it may hurt to say that, but I still want to ask, do you know how to make movies......"

Obviously, after being brought over by Bao Qiang from the actors' union in the morning, Charles was in such a state of confusion.

"Shut up and start doing what I ask. ”

Wei Xun interrupted him and said, "I paid you twice your salary, you are the only person in the group of people here who gets a salary, and the most expensive person, if you can't come according to my request, I will fire you." ”

Charles shut up instantly, he spread his hands, and said, "Yes, sir." ”

Who doesn't want a paycheck.

For the sake of the dollar, even if the things photographed by this group of Chinese people are shit, I can praise them as a flower, Charles thought in his heart.

Wei Xun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, start shooting." ”
