Chapter 113: Sky-high price

"Game 472, the third time, start!"

With the sound of the field service, the last week of "Departed" finally began.

In front of a residential building, Billy, an undercover police detective played by Will Smith, is about to go up to meet the chief, but suddenlyβ€”boom!

A man fell from the sky and smashed straight into the car parked next to the car, and the car was smashed flat!

Will Smith looked back in confusion, but saw the blood-soaked corpse, which seemed to be someone he knew?

He had a "What's going on?" expression written on his face, and then he gradually saw the situation clearly, and his expression became solemn, (as if it was a sir?)

Will Smith's eyes widened and his expression became more and more solemn (really the captain!?)

He wanted to, but he didn't dare to step forward and confirm the truth (impossible, don't be him!)

Will Smith walked in front of Roy, the captain who died tragically, Al Pacino's face was covered with blood from special effects makeup, not only that, in order to highlight the real effect, Sid also asked the special effects makeup artist to paint Al Pacino's face, after the person jumped off the building and fell to his death, the face will have a real deformation.

But in order to let the audience see that this is indeed Director Roy, in terms of the specific makeup effect, Sid also discussed and experimented with the special effects makeup artist director many times before choosing the current one that is not too bloody, but enough shocking effect.

Will Smith looks in shock at the tragic death of Director Roy, who grabs his hair with one hand (why is this happening?).

He was in pain, in disbelief, but had to accept it.

Three cameras accurately captured Will Smith's facial expressions from different angles, and in less than 10 seconds, Will Smith's Billy completed a huge psychological change.

This scene in which Roy, the police chief, played by Al Pacino, smashes the roof of his car from the rooftop can be said to be one of the most difficult scenes in the whole film.

There is no other reason, just because of Will Smith's reaction after turning back, he definitely needs divine acting skills!

In the original Hong Kong version, although Tony Leung is handsome and compelling, his acting skills are indeed superb, and the "original" American version lacks a strong spiritual impact on the audience because this paragraph was deleted.

In the scene where Director Roy falls from the upper floor, the challenge for Billy's character is the greatest, and Director Roy, who has always been vaguely regarded as his father, dies unexpectedly and tragically, which is not only unexpected by all audiences, but also unexpected by Billy.

The process from dazed to shocked, from unwilling to believe to having to accept, must be condensed in just a dozen seconds, and this transformation must be shown by just the right micro-expressions.

Although Sid can give Will Smith a clear explanation of the character's heart, whether he can perform it or not is really provocative.

This is also the reason why Sid is not Tom Cruise to play this role, compared to Colin, who is biased towards facial paralysis, Billy, who is more like the protagonist in the traditional sense, and the delicate and layered sense of performance required is obviously more difficult.

And Will Smith did not disappoint Sid, although he has always been in Hollywood as the protagonist of commercial blockbusters, but as a powerful person who can perform in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in the future, his acting potential should not be underestimated.

What's more, this time to be able to play with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino at close range is also a rare opportunity for Will Smith and Tom Cruise.

Although the experiential performances of the two of them are not suitable for everyone, it is a rare experience for any actor to be able to watch the two acting gods in person, whether it is copying and learning, or listening to Sid talk about the play.

After the tragic death of Director Roy is over, the filming of "Departed" is finally coming to an end.

Of course, in the end, the rooftop duel between Will Smith and Tom Cruise, the peak game of the two superstars, is absolutely hearty and addictive.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

As the filming in Canada drew to a close, AOL's Time Warner headquarters in New York was in turmoil.

In order to win the support of the board members, AOL and Time Warner can be said to have shown their own talents and tried their best.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we at Time Warner are a company with a long tradition, and every subsidiary is an integral part of us!"

Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Barry Meyer said passionately to the representatives of the major shareholders of the board of directors that he was speaking on behalf of Time Warner to the spokespeople of these major shareholders, calling on them to support Time Warner One in the next vote.

"Carl Icahn, an outsider, is simply ill-intentioned, he instigated the chairman to sell all the subsidiaries of our Time Warner for cash, which is a shameful act of betraying the company's interests!"

Barry Meyer's words are not wrong, Carl Icahn has always been a corporate disruptor, don't be the "wolf of Wall Street".

Buying low and selling high, spin-offs have always been Carl Icahn's forte, but what they didn't expect was that the main promoter behind the sale of DC Comics this time was not Carl Icahn, but Chairman Steve Case.

After all, his handle was pinched in Sid's hands, and he really didn't dare not care about DC's affairs.

Barry Meyer's speech was enthusiastic, but the directors yawned a lot. Not to mention AOL AOL, but Time Warner itself is a media group established through multiple rounds of capital mergers and acquisitions.

In the past, when the Internet department wanted to use DC's anime character image for promotion, the person in charge of DC directly asked for tens of millions of dollars in usage fees.

It's no surprise that these directors are not so interested in talking passionately about "long traditions" in front of directors of such companies.

"At least - $2 billion!" Carl Icahn's nonchalant opening remarks made the directors on the other side choke, and one of them squirted out the water he had just drunk in.

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

The people next to him hurriedly patted the director on the back, while the others looked at Carl Icahn with dumbfounded expressions, and one of them held up a finger, "Well, excuse me, did I hear it wrong......?"

"$2 billion!DC Comics, that's just the lowest offer. Carl Icahn smiled and repeated confidently.
