Chapter 858: Temporary Change of Actors
The entire Batman's scenes here in Tokyo are basically night scenes.
It's all a picture of Batman played by Christian fighting in the night, as we all know, Batman basically doesn't appear during the day, Bruce Wayne during the day and Batman at night.
So during the day, Christian has a lot of free time.
From the imperial capital of China, it was only a few hours before the plane arrived in Tokyo, and the two of them had a meal and a drink, and it was only noon.
After eating, Christian and Li both returned to the hotel to rest.
Christian prepares for the night scene, and Li Sheng has to wait for Nolan's shooting plan to come out before he can determine when to start filming his scene.
Back in the room, Li Sheng saw that Yang Mengyuan was watching TV, and he asked casually.
"Have you eaten?" asked Li Sheng.
Yang Mengyuan shook his head.
Li Sheng waved his hand, "Let's go, let's eat, I'll reimburse you, I won't go out in the afternoon, if you want to go out, go out and go around." ”
Yang Mengyuan nodded, and after Li Sheng entered the house, he quickly turned off the TV and went out to surf.
After Li Sheng returned to the room, he felt a little tired, after all, he had been on the plane for so long.
He touched his body, there was a cigarette, reached out and smoked one, lit it, then took off his coat, planning to take a shower later, and wait until the evening to get up and see how the shooting plan went.
He was pondering that he was only halfway through his cigarette when there was a knock on the door.
Li Sheng got up strangely and came out and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw an angry Christian, and Christian immediately scolded when he saw Li Sheng.
“shit!son-of-a-bicth!”
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows, looked at him questioningly, and then hurriedly got out of the way and looked outside, there was no one.
He said, "Come in, what's wrong with you? Who messed with you?"
After Li Sheng waited for him to come in, he immediately closed the door and asked strangely.
Also, the mood of the two of them was still good when they were drinking just now, and it was less than twenty minutes after arriving at the hotel, what happened to make him, who has always been good-tempered, have such a big mood swing.
Christian sat down on the couch in the living room, his face still angry.
"You know what? Li, they actually want to change actors?"
Li Sheng frowned and said strangely, "Change actors?"
"Isn't everything you shot before being invalid?"
Christian sighed and asked Li Sheng in a very exaggerated tone.
"Lee, shouldn't your focus be on who to replace?"
When Li Sheng heard him say this, he actually had a little foundation in his heart, and he reached out and nodded his nose.
"You mean to replace me?"
Christian nodded, "Yes." ”
"After all, you don't have many scenes, and if you change them, only the scenes in Iceland need to be reshot!"
Li Sheng was also strange at this time, and sat down opposite Christian.
"Replace me?"
Seriously, Li Sheng's first reaction after learning the news was not anger, but curiosity.
You must know that filming, especially filming abroad, whether it is in Chicago in the United States, Iceland, or now Tokyo, such a large crew runs around, and also has to transport the props of the crew, which adds up to a lot of value.
What is the reason for them to have the intention of replacing themselves?
Christian took a deep breath, and then he began to explain slowly.
After listening to Christian explain it to him carefully, Li Sheng finally figured out what was going on.
It turned out that after Christian returned, he was asking his assistant about his assistant's shooting plans for tonight, but was told that there was no scene tonight.
Then this is strange, you know, Nolan has put a lot of effort into this play.
Not long after Christian arrived, Nolan had been on the move, scouting the location, and making shooting plans according to the crew.
Not only that, but I have been filming for two days, but it is limited to some small venues.
But why did you suddenly rest today?
The strange Christian went to Nolan, and after talking to Nolan, he realized that the shutdown was not his intention.
His current shutdown is completely forced because there is no space.
Although it was discussed with the Japanese side before, the crew will cooperate with the government to coordinate the time to shoot, after all, the filming location is on the Shinkansen, which is the main transportation artery of people.
This is all understandable, but now suddenly the government says that there is no way to coordinate time for the crew to shoot in the short term.
Such a reason is not a reason at all, and this is deliberately making things difficult.
Nolan was angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he contacted Warner in the U.S. headquarters to ask for an explanation.
Warner also immediately began to contact the Japanese side, and only after negotiating with the other party did it know the reason.
It turned out that the Japanese side felt that Ken Watanabe, the father of their nation, had too few scenes, and there were not many Japanese main actors, so they had a little idea.
For example, their reason is that they are ninja masters, and they should be Japanese, because ninjas are their Japanese culture.
It's a fuck-up reason, but the condition that people are holding the Shinkansen in their hands is very difficult on the Warner side.
But agreeing to the conditions of changing actors, that is also impossible.
After all, Warner had already estimated the cost and future of the film at the beginning, and it was impossible to invest more.
Negotiations began to reach an impasse, but soon Sony stepped in, willing to enter the crew to provide additional funds and pay for all losses.
In this way, Warner was tempted, although they did not agree at the first time, but they did not refuse, and they were considering.
said that it was considering, but in fact, Warner was discussing with Nolan and David Goyer whether they could consider replacing Li Sheng.
Li Sheng was invited by Nolan, and he also advocated sending it to the crew, and whether it was Li Sheng's performance or attitude during filming, or some of the plot structure opinions he gave Nolan after filming, they were very useful.
Nolan disagreed, and David Goyer didn't agree to change, but the company was going to replace it.
So it is currently at an impasse, but if nothing else, the feasibility of Li Sheng being replaced is still very great.
After all, capital is the greatest force.
Just relying on the current Nolan and David Goyer can't carry the whole Warner and Sony teamed up.
After Li Sheng finished listening, he shook his head.
"Alright, Bell, go back and rest, it's okay!"
"If you really replace it, you will replace it, it's nothing!"
Christian looked at Li Sheng with a strange expression, "Lee, you ......"
But he stopped halfway through his speech, and he shook his head.
"Don't worry, Lee, I've asked my assistant to inform my agency. ”
"I told the economic company that I don't think such a sloppy crew is not suitable for me to continue to stay!"
"If you get replaced, I'll refuse to work with Warner again. ”
Li Sheng smiled and patted Christian on the shoulder.
"Thank you. ”
"But, no, I can handle it myself, don't worry!"
Christian looked at Li Sheng, sighed, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
