Chapter Ninety-Six: Filming Officially Begins

Zhao Wei is from the Ali department, and this person knows everything.

She has a very close relationship with many bigwigs, before, when she was a good actor in "Dear" of the people of the country, various reports on the Internet that she was very close to the bigwigs, calling her a winner in life or something.

Shen Lin is still a minority shareholder of Ali Pictures, and he still retains less than one percent of the shares, and in addition, he also has 0.8 percent of the equity of Ali, so these two are colleagues.

Shen Lin did not shy away from his "friendly" relationship with Zhao Wei, and allowed many reporters to take pictures.

They can write whatever they want, anyway, most of the domestic media did not report on the military flag and the war netizens.

Sometimes, it's good to be an uninformed person, and continue to believe that Xiaoyanzi is just a good actor!

However, if you really get too close, it won't be good for both sides.

It is estimated that Zhao Wei is also very clear in her heart, so the invitation she proposed should be polite.

"Director Shen, if I send out this report, it is estimated that someone will scold you, saying that you don't understand art..."

The reporter kindly reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, if I say that I should take some pictures to reflect the real events at the bottom, they will say that I have betrayed the country, what's wrong, just pick a good infamy..."

Shen Lin spread his hand.

This is a fact, and there is nothing to say.

There are too many domestic netizens and too many voices, relatively speaking, it is better to be scolded for not understanding art than to be scolded for not being patriotic.

“…”

The reporter didn't expect Shen Lin to be so honest, and suddenly he was a little stuck, and it took a long time before he asked: "Director Shen, I heard that "La La Land" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Toronto Film Festival, what do you think of it?"

Nima, this is stirring up trouble, actually asking about the Toronto Film Festival at the Venice Film Festival.

"Relatively speaking, the Toronto Film Festival is easier to reach the audience because of its backing on the North American market, so although the Venice Film Festival is very famous, I still prefer Toronto, and you know, my films are still made for the audience..."

Shen Lin went to Toronto for a few days, and after participating in several promotional activities, he directly said that he was going to Thailand.

Damien Chazelle and Emma Stone, including Ryan Gosling, remained at the Toronto Film Festival to build momentum for La La Land, and the presence of these stars on stage, coupled with the film's good reputation, continues to attract the attention of the media and fans.

As for Lin Shao, he is going to make a movie.

The preparatory work for "Bangkok Trip" started as early as half a year ago.

After all, there are so many group performances, and they choose to shoot abroad, they don't prepare for the work, and they start filming rashly, Shen Lin is very worried that he will shoot until next year!

In fact, most of the scenes about zombie chases, Shen Lin chose to shoot in Hengdian, after all, group performances are easier to find, scenes and the like, just set up and finish.

But when it comes to local customs, it will be better to shoot on the spot.

……

In Bangkok in September, the weather is still a little hot, but the air is really good.

The plane landed at Suowangnabhumi in Bangkok, Thailand, the largest airport in Asia, and drove to the hotel where the crew was located, and most of the crew were waiting for Shen Lin's arrival in the hotel.

After greeting each other, they went back to the house to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, the filming of "Bangkok Tour" officially began.

The plot goes something like this: a mysterious virus outbreak has put the whole company in a state of emergency, and those who take the train to Bangkok (the city that has successfully avoided the virus outbreak) must fight for their own survival...

The protagonist Shi Yu, played by Hu Ge, is a manager of a securities company and is Chinese;

The other main characters are all Chinese, some are sightseeing tourists, and some are local overseas Chinese.

"I guess everyone should also know a little bit of the inside story, the original name of "Bangkok Travel" was "East China Sea Travel", which is about our country's own zombie movie, but unfortunately, because of the censorship, I wrote it eight times, and I let it come back, no way, I changed the background to Thailand. ”

Shen Lin stood at the front of the crew and was explaining the origin of the movie to everyone, mainly to appease the slightly anxious hearts of the main creators, many of whom were worried that the scale was too large and could not be released.

“… You don't have to worry about the problem that the movie can't be released, I will grasp the scale, and I can still do this. ”

"Director, is my character too miserable, why does he have to die?"

Lao Hu raised his hand to signal.

"You are the male number one, of course the male number one has to be hung, otherwise how can the movie be tear-jerking?"

Shen Lin asked rhetorically.

Of course, this is certainly not the case, arranging for the male protagonist to be bitten, and then letting him hang up and become a zombie, is definitely in line with what Taoism calls cause and effect.

In fact, the whole disaster is indirectly induced by the male protagonist, even if he is not bitten and survives, it is difficult to feel regret and infinite guilt for what he did in a stable life.

And the male protagonist's mother was also infected, and the male protagonist was one of the murderers who killed his relatives.

It is impossible to redeem himself, and arranging for him to hang up is actually the liberation of all kinds of causes and effects.

After answering Lao Hu's question, Shen Lin looked at the creators, and then asked, "Are there any more questions?"

"Director,"

Wu Yue waved his hand, and seeing Shen Lin listening, he asked, "My identity is a martial arts instructor, can I bring a nunchucks or something with me..."

"No, in that case, it's too out of line. ”

Shen Lin directly refused, "If I really want to give you a weapon, I will simply arrange for you to be a policeman!"

The reason why "Bangkok Travel" was filmed was to distinguish it from European and American zombie films.

If there is a weapon, is there a hairy difference from "Resident Evil"?

"Director, there's one thing I never understand,"

Hao Lei also asked: "I feel that this movie is logically untenable..."

"Sister Hao Lei, how can there be zombies in this world, isn't this a movie, let's assume it has first, and then talk about the rest. ”

Shen Lin had a little headache.

Although a good actor is easy to use, he just wants to break with you, for example, he must understand the cause and effect of this plot, or the meaning of this performance.

What's there to talk about, is there a superhero in the world?

Is there a logic to the big Marvel movies and the big DC movies?

Will anyone fly?

"Still have questions?"

Shen Lin looked at several main creators again and asked.

"Director..."

Fat Di also waved his hand, and Shen Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Your character is a cheerleader, and you represent love, so you must also die!"

“… No, I want to ask, when are we going to shoot?"

"Let's start shooting right away!"

After confirming several main creators again, and having no doubts, Shen Linchong's staff who had been waiting for a long time signaled.

The assistant director hurriedly stepped forward: "Come on, let's start the test shooting immediately!"
