"How does it feel? You're getting used to it quickly, aren't you?" said Chen Tian as he looked at Joe Hamm and smiled.
"Honestly, it's the first time in my life, but you can't sue Westfield. ”
Joe Hamm straightened his suit, the Armani suit was the most expensive one of his lives.
"I'm definitely not going to sue her, even if I sue her, you're also looking for feelings for the role, isn't this work?"
"You're right, and I'm not wrong. Joe Hamm laughed.
"Remember this feeling, report to the crew tomorrow afternoon, and officially start filming. Chen Tian patted his head, "Damn, I forgot that you still have to be the set designer for the crew, so you have to go to the house at 66 Chinatown in Los Angeles in the morning, I will wait for you there, and then you have to do the set." ”
After saying goodbye to Joe Hamm, Chen Tian returned home, and the fruit hard candy crew was officially formed.
Tomorrow morning he needs to sign contracts with the cast and crew, and then try to start filming in the afternoon.
As a result, there are still almost 14 days left until the opening of the New York Film Festival, and it will take 14 days to complete the new fruit hard candy.
It's a bit difficult, but Chen Tian wants to challenge it.
On the morning of September 12, Chen Tian signed a contract with the crew members and actors, and there were not many scenes needed for fruit hard candy, the most important thing was in the house.
Chen Tian rented this house in Chinatown for fifteen days, and Joe Hamm did a good job of setting the scene.
After signing the contract, Jennifer Lawrence did not leave, but helped in the crew.
Jennifer Lawrence is not a crew member and is young, and this attitude is liked by the whole crew.
"Nance, don't forget to put makeup on Joe, modify it a little, he's so handsome, if this film is broadcast, I'm worried that it will affect his future drama. Chen Tian said to Nance in the room.
At the moment, she is putting on makeup for Joe Hamm, if this role can reach the same as Chen Tian intended, Chen Tian can imagine that Joe Hamm will be greatly affected by it after the release.
"OK, no problem!"
"Tim, that Nick did a good job. Chen Tian said as he looked at Nick, who was checking the camera position in the distance.
'He's got a lot of talent and a good attitude, but he needs more work, so I brought it and luckily it didn't mess up. Tim Sushet said with a smile as he looked at Nick not far away.
At 1 p.m. on September 12, 2003, the fruit hard candy crew officially started filming.
"Joe, you don't have to be nervous, just show like you did last night, find out your sense of success. ”
"OK, great, great!"
Joe Hamm, who had never played a leading actor, seemed a little nervous and jerky at first, but he was very adaptable and quickly adapted to the role.
Jennifer Lawrence, who played the leading role for the first time, is also making progress a little bit, although the two have a lot of NG, but looking at their progress, Chen Tian feels that the waste of these films is worth it.
Three days after the official start of hard fruit shooting, Lionsgate called.
"Justin, if you agree with me, then we will continue to work together, if not, then we can only say goodbye. ”
The cold and arrogant tone on the other end of the phone, Chen Tian didn't like it very much.
"What are you laughing at? Am I saying that you are capable, Tom, and I believe that!" the other end of the line sneered, "but don't forget what is the success of being buried alive? It's not good for people to be too greedy, and you think MGM would value you like this?"
"Your name is James Budge, right?"
Without waiting for the other end of the phone to speak: "I'm honored to tell you that I won't be working with Lionsgate for a day when you're at Lionsgate." ”
Chen Tian hung up the phone directly, looked at the phone and couldn't help laughing.
He didn't expect Lionsgate to call him and ask for a 20% share of the net box office revenue in addition to the cost of "Super Burger King".
It sounds like a lot of 20% of the box office, but for a documentary, the net income is not destined to be too high.
Such a requirement is far less than the original Chen Tian's 10 percent box office share plus 30 percent of the revenue from DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
Even if there is no MGM deposit, Chen Tian will not agree to such a share, let alone there is still MGM's deposit.
Although this James Budge offered him the same price as burying him alive for "Little Sunshine Beauty", there were two restrictions.
One is that "Little Sunshine Beauty" will be released next summer, and the other is the box office of $100 million in North America and 150 million worldwide, which means that the box office will not exceed these two lines.
Putting the phone aside, Chen Tian continued to write the script of this man from Earth.
The filming progress of the fruit candy has improved little by little, and Chen Tian has put the most important and controversial plot of the fruit candy - Hailey's operation on Jeff's castration to the final shooting.
"Justin, can you tell me what this is for?"
Megan Ellison asked, holding up the video in her hand, which had the name of the castration tutorial written on it.
"You should be able to understand it, by the way, I didn't give you the script, so you may not be able to understand it, this is the script you can read. Chen Tian smiled and handed over the script in his hand.
Meghan Ellison has been running the crew these days, and as later in the news she said, she likes to be with the crew.
And when she was on the crew, Megan Ellison didn't have the posture of a big lady at all, and she was very happy to mingle with the crew.
"Megan, aren't you going to school?" asked Chen Tian curiously.
"School? Do you think it's more interesting than the crew? I love movies, and I found out two days ago that I like to watch movies come to life, and that feeling is the most wonderful thing in the world. ”
"Sister Megan, what do you think of my cousin?" Jennifer Lawrence, who had finished her makeup, walked out.
"Awesome, you're a natural star and our collaboration will continue, I promise you. ”
Looking at Jennifer Lawrence, Chen Tian felt that he had made the right choice, although Alan Paige in the original film had good acting skills, but it didn't quite match Lori's characteristics, and it seemed a little too old-fashioned.
In addition to being related to Ellen Peggy's 18-year-old role as 14-year-old, it is also related to Alan Peggy's tomboy hairstyle in the original film.
And Jennifer Lawrence, although not very pretty, looks much better than Alan Peggy.
In addition, the age of 13 years old is also more in line with the requirements of 14 years old in the script, and under Chen Tian's request, Jennifer Lawrence's table before and after is more prominent.
"Oracle and Justin Chen" - this is the latest title in The Hollywood Reporter.
Oracle, everyone knows how terrifying the strength is.
And Chen Tianxin's film turned out to be a cooperation with Oracle, which shocked many people after the news came out.
"Oracle's Entry into Movies?", "Justin Chen's New Film, A Game for the Rich", ......
These news appeared in the newspapers and the Internet almost overnight, and for more than ten days before this, the crew of Chen Tian Fruit Hard Candy had been ignored almost all the time.
Nearly twelve days have passed since the filming of the hard fruit candy, and the filming of the hard candy is progressing very quickly under the excellent performance of the actors, and if you follow the way, you can come to the most important castration plot part of the hard candy in the afternoon.
Megan Ellison looked at the newspaper and raised her head and said to Linsen: "Justin, these are all arranged by David, we are about to end, so we need exposure, although we don't know much about movies, but we know that a product can't be sold without exposure and advertising."
And it doesn't cost David money to get into these newspapers, they're happy to do that, and we need them, so it's a win-win." ”
