"Jeremy, like I said before, "Buried Alive" is a movie specially prepared for you to exercise your acting skills. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, don't let me down. Sid said back to Jeremy (Reina) with a smile.

"Don't worry, I've memorized the script backwards. Jeremy (Reina) said with a confident smile.

"Yes, OK. Sid turned back to Nolan and said, "The investment in this "Buried Alive" is $1 million, and filming can start in two months, and then it will be released at the end of this year or early next year." Of course, I expect the videotapes to sell better than the box office. ”

"After you're done filming Buried Alive, we can start preparing Memory Fragments. Sid's words surprised Emma Nolan.

"Don't you have to wait for 'Buried Alive' to come out?" asked Emma, surprised.

"Well, the normal process is like this. Sid nodded.

The normal process in Hollywood generally requires the director to refer to the box office results of the director's previous film after its release, and then say whether there is a next cooperation.

"But of course there will be special treatment for the person I like, and after the editing of "Buried Alive" is completed, I will conduct an internal test screening with the senior management of Fire Lion Pictures. At that time, according to the effect of the test screening, it will be decided whether to wait until the film is released before starting the project of "Memory Fragments". ”

Sid's words made Emma Nolan nod slightly, the key is to look at the quality and effect of the shooting. Even at worst, wait until the end of the year or the beginning of next year. This is much better than their original plan.

Before coming to the United States last year, they didn't dare to imagine that they could make such a quick break in Hollywood.

"And the script in Jonathan's hand is the book I prepared for you, after "Memory Fragments" - "Fatal ID". But just when the Nolans thought the discussion was over, Sid threw the next step.

While they were dumbfounded, Emma Nolan couldn't help but think about the evaluation of those top chess players, when ordinary people were still struggling with the move in front of them, the top chess players had already seen five moves, or even seven moves later.

"This Fatal ID is a new movie I wrote after our last chat. On the surface, it is a suspense film about a killing game, but in fact it is a suspense story involving multiple personalities. So, I think you're going to be interested in it. Sid shrugged.

"Suspense movies, murder games, multiple personalities?" Chris (Nolan), who already prefers dark themes, couldn't help but light up, "I'm interested!"

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry, the movie has to be shot step by step. Sid laughed, and then he said to Nolan's wife, who is also the producer of Nolan's team: "This week you read the script, write the shooting plan, and then go to Fire Lion Pictures to find COO Shirley (Sandberg), and she will arrange for you to evaluate the project and follow up the work." ”

"Ok, okay, I got it. Emma Nolan said as she jotted down in her notebook and nodded.

"Okay, that's the rough picture. Sid smiled and nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――

After dealing with the Nolans' films, Sid can finally start his own film again.

"No, I'm talking about independent, autonomous, tough girls!" Sid said dissatisfied, "dyed Lindsay's hair brown and her eyes were the same as they were in 'Curfew', with contact lenses." Then show it to me. ”

"Okay, but if you dye your hair, it will take a few hours. The makeup artist scratched her head and said.

"Well, let's do it. Sid nodded solemnly, then looked at Lindsay in front of him, "How is it?

"Revolvers aren't used to it yet, but otherwise it's fine. The Lindsey man said with a small shrug.

Her cute gesture caused Sid to smile slightly, "Okay, you prepare first, I'll go see the others." ”

"Yes. Lindsey replied playfully.

Sid nodded, stood up and looked at Lindsay's appearance, only to see that the little girl who used to be lively and cute was wearing a coarse cloth dark brown blouse and a long black cloth skirt, and small rough leather boots on her feet.

The whole girl who came out of the world of western cowboys.

Sid nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked to the other side of the make-up tent, where Jeremy (Renner) was also dressed in an khaki denim suit with a brass bullet belt around his waist.

"How's it going, Jeremy?"

"It feels great. Jeremy (Renner) said excitedly, "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to play cowboy." ”

"Well, life is full of possibilities. Sid smiled and shrugged. At the same time, he looked up and down at the costume that the stylist had given Jeremy (Renner), who was wearing an earthy yellow Texas cavalry suit with a brass bullet belt around his waist and leather-colored cowboy boots.

The whole set is exactly the shape of the Texas cavalry before and after the Civil War.

"Nothing is a problem. Sid touched his chin and said, "But the beard is still a little strange, it doesn't look like it's long." ”

It turned out that Jeremy also put on a fake beard, and not only on his lips, but also on both sideburns, which was also the men's fashion of that era.

"Adjust it, strengthen the two mustaches on the lips, the little pinch under the lips looks too weird, make it a little lighter, don't steal the spotlight, OK?" Sid began to give specific instructions on the correction of Jeremy's (Renner) look.

"OK, director. The stylist nodded and wrote it down.

"Well, move on to the next one, who's coming?" Sid asked the assistant next to him.

The other lead actor, Mr. Jeff Bridges, will not be on the set until tomorrow, and Mr. Hugo Weaving and Mr. John Malkovich, who play the villains, will not be on the set until the middle of the month. Justin Lin said.

"Okay, let's look at the scene first. Sid nodded.

"Ok, this way, Boss. Kevin Feige on the other side led the way.

A few people walked through the styling work of the extras while the busy makeup artists.

Then I finally got out of the makeshift makeup tent. Sid's eyes suddenly brightened, and there were low brick and stone buildings on both sides of an open dirt road, and there were many wooden carts and barrels parked beside the road.

It's exactly what a Wild West town looks like!

Sid's new film is a new western to be shot in this wild west - "Earth Thunder"!

As one of the more famous old western films in film history, "Earth Thunder" was originally a novel, which was made into a movie in 1969, and even made a sequel in 1975.

The movie tells the story of a 14-year-old daughter who embarks on a path of revenge alone after her father is shot dead by an employee.

The reason why Sid chose to remake this "old movie" is, on the one hand, for Lindsay.

In Hollywood in the past few decades, there have not been many excellent films that can be suitable for young actors to star. So in terms of temperament and style, "Earth Thunder", which is more compatible with the current Lindsay, was selected by Sid early.

Not only is the age requirement of the heroine appropriate, but also the new role requirements can also exercise Lindsay's acting skills without wasting her talent too much.

Sid, on the other hand, is also trying to challenge himself. The first three films, whether it is the artistic-oriented "Little Sunshine Beauty", or the commercial-oriented "Warm Corpse" and "Singing and Dancing Youth", are all modern dramas.

Therefore, it is also a rare experience to challenge the American-style "costume drama". In addition, there are not many actors filming, so the filming time will not drag on too long, which is a rare advantage for Sid, who is getting more and more tight now.

And in the months of the awards season, Sid and everyone in the Fire Lion crew have already begun to prepare for "Earth Thunder" in full swing.

From the script to the storyboard, there is also a lot of costume production and set building. As for the actors, Lindsey and Jeremy (Renner) and others also started practicing Southern accents early to match the western background of the film.

So as soon as the Oscars were over, Sid immediately took the crew to the filming location in New Mexico, which had been surveyed a long time ago.
