The project "Time and Space Traveler" has been sent to Dante by Shen Ming.

Dante is now in charge of Minghui's film investment business, and he has accurately found the selling point of this book, or the biggest advantage: it is very suitable for 30+ actresses!

Then, he didn't look for Yang Xin, and directly sent the script to Zhang Ziyi, who felt it was very good and decided to star!

"The Birth of an Actor" + "Wuwen Xidong", Zhang Ziyi's current reputation and appeal are there, and the circle is staring at her, and suddenly I heard that she took a script, and the script was still written by Shen Ming...

Immediately inquired in many ways...

Of course, these Shen Ming are not very clear, he only knows that even if the project "Time and Space Traveler" is to be established, it will have to wait until after March next year, so if he doesn't particularly care, he will definitely star...

Mention it on Weibo, it can be regarded as a warm-up...

I didn't expect that because of this book, it became a pot of porridge in China...

Not to mention anything else, Yang Xin has already killed in Los Angeles...

Because this time, Dante did not notify Yang Xin, let alone Qiancheng Film and Television, and directly sent an invitation to Zhang Ziyi in the name of Minghui Company!

……

Emma Stone's history of fame is quite inspirational.

has no background, lacks the care and support of big shots, Sister Shi can become a second-tier actress from a dragon set by hard work and luck!

It's really luck.

"Gossip Project" needs an American-style silly big sister role, and it just so happens that Sister Shi has played this kind of role in those years - "Campus Bunny Girl", "King of Rock and Roll", "Paper Man", "The Ghost of Ex-Girlfriends", "Zombie Land"...

And the producer of "Gossip Project" is Emma Stone's nobleman - Judd Apatow.

At that time, Emma Stone's first work, that is, the role of showing her face for a few seconds, the producer of "The Medium" was Judd Apatow!

Judd Apatow strongly recommended Emma Stone to star in this "Gossip Project"...

After the movie was launched, it was a huge success!

With a cost of eight million dollars, the North American box office is close to 60 million!

Stone is also very competitive, because of "Gossip Project", Stone was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy that year...

Sets a precedent for a Campus Chick Comedy to be nominated for a Mainstream Performance Award!

It shows that the media and the public have paid attention to this actress.

By the way, her idol is Chaplin, so she has always taken the comedy route, so the screen image is outgoing and lively...

However, this girl obviously saw very far, and after "Gossip Project", she never took over youth comedies again.

"If I keep playing the same role and get stereotyped very quickly, it's dangerous. ”

After that, she successively starred in unpopular literary films, and Stone rejected Warner's commercial blockbuster "The Return of Tarzan" in order to take over Woody Allen's "The Unreasonable Man" - the production cost of "The Return of Tarzan" is 180 million US dollars!

At that time, she had already played the girlfriend of Spider-Man in "The Amazing Spider-Man", and felt that she needed to settle down...

It's also a gain, at least the love of the second-generation Spider-Man Andrew Garfield...

The reason why Damien Chazelle chose her starring role is that Sister Stone can sing, dance, act on Broadway, and make a cameo appearance in a MV!

Most importantly, the price is relatively cheap, with a salary of $6 million...

Actually, she wanted to take the later share at the beginning, but Damien refused, because Damien also signed an 8% profit share in the later stage, so there can't be a few main creators who share the profits, right?

Her looks...

Well...

People don't eat by their faces!

But Shen Ming just doesn't understand, why do Europeans and Americans think it's cute to have freckles on their faces?

What if you have a birthmark on your face?

……

"La La Land", shot in Los Angeles, 25 days of shooting.

Damien Chazelle has implemented two words: save money!

The production team also slammed the door to death, but there was no room and board...

That is to say, the staff gets off work every day and drives back by themselves...

Of course, a food and beverage subsidy of $50 per person per day.

It's even darker than the crew in Hengdian!

When Brother Ming filmed "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", the crew was already poor to a certain extent, and they still had food and accommodation...

Let's put it this way, "La La Land" originally planned a production cost of 30 million, of which Shen Ming's salary was 2 million US dollars + 15% of the profit share in the later stage, and Damien Chazelle was 800,000 US dollars in the director fee + 8% of the profit share;

Profit sharing or something, it's all after the movie is released!

The basic salary cost is less than 18 million US dollars, including the salaries of the staff, actors, etc...

Damien was stunned to go from 30 million to 27 million...

Who doesn't love such a director?

Speaking of the investment share, Shen Ming invested 15 million US dollars, Qiancheng Film and Television followed with 3 million US dollars, Focus Film and Television invested 5 million US dollars, and the rest was contracted by Fujisun Pictures!

Focus is responsible for the North American promotion of the film...

……

Lighthouse Cafe.

Shen Ming skillfully sat in the musician's position, playing the piano song "Mia?? Sebastian's", again an original work by Damion's good friend Justin Hurwitz...

Brother Ming doesn't really know how to play the piano, but he can imitate!

Every scale is pressed correctly, plus there won't be many close-ups...

So, it's easier to shoot...

The Lighthouse Cafe, not far from Homosa Beach, has always been a jazz venue, and it can only be said that Damien has a deep love for jazz...

Shen Ming was completely intoxicated with his playing, so much so... He created himself again!

The average café owner needs a pianist who plays according to the playlist, not the self-playing kind...

Playing the role of the café owner is J· K. Simmons, the old guy just played a scene, and he was a cameo...

Confiscation of money.

After all, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Burst Drummer"...

The drama continues!

even has the American drama "Relative Universe" starring himself...

"I'm sorry..."

"You're fired!"

Shen Ming kept apologizing, and J· K. Simmons kept firing him...

Next to her, Sister Shi, who was wearing a blue dress, kept staring at Shen Ming.

Hollywood likes to play this set, and the encounter between the hero and heroine is always in a bar or café, probably inspired by "Casablanca": there are many towns in the world, and there are many taverns in towns, but she just walked into my...

"Click, that's good, do you want to take a break?"

“… Would you like to drink some water?"

"Ok, the actor has a half-hour break!"

Damien is not the kind of director who doesn't talk about people at all, he filmed for four hours in a row, giving the actors a little time to rest...

"Shen!"

“… Emma, what's wrong?"

"You don't know how to play the piano?"

“… I can't dance either, it's too short, half a year, I only have enough time to practice dancing!"

"That's pretty good, at least you're on the right scales!"

“… I can play the guitar, and I still have basic musical literacy... I'm sorry, my agent is here!"

Halfway through the conversation, Shen Ming suddenly saw Yang Xin...

How did she come to Los Angeles?
