Chapter 62: Casting

Shen Lin showed no mercy, and completely crushed Yang Mi's most secret mind with one sentence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Aren't you a director? You said you just don't need me?"

Da Mimi's face was hot, but her mouth was still tough, and she argued to herself.

If you look closely, her earlobes are faintly red.

"Hehe, I'm not just a director, I'm also an executive producer, but that's why I have to think more about the box office, the investment of 150 million is not a 3D movie, the male number one I use the acting school, and the female number one must use an actor with great box office appeal around the world, if you use you, don't say it's you, even if it's four days and two ices, it's not good!"

The audience at the scene couldn't hold back anymore and collectively shouted.

"You're recording a show?"

Shen Lin reacted immediately.

"Hurry up, what do you want to say to me right now?"

Yang Mi shifted the topic to the task.

"I want to say, are you sick?"

"No!

"Okay, it's time!Director Shen, hello, this is the Pain Xun video "Big Names Arrive", I'm the host Hua Shao!"

Hua Shao took over the conversation.

"Brother Hua, hello, I know this show, I watched the episode of Zhou Jiestick two days ago!"

"Haha, generally people with high taste will pay attention to our show, by the way, Director Shen, let me tell you, just now Yang Mi asked you to say the sentence 'You are sick!', you didn't say it, so she failed, and there may be a small punishment later!"

"Actually, I wanted to say that sentence at first, but when I thought about it, we couldn't stimulate the patient, so I changed my tone, does she want to accept the punishment? I'm so sorry, Sister Mi!"

Shen Lin's tone was full of schadenfreude, and there was no sense of guilt.

"That's okay, Director Shen, we'll talk later, you just wait to see how your young brother Hua punishes Yang Mi in this issue!"

"Okay, by the way, Brother Hua, don't take off your shoes, otherwise it will be a punishment for you!"

"Take off... Shoes... Haha, thank you Director Shen..."

"Shen Lin, can you tell me clearly? What do you mean that you are not allowed to take off your shoes?"

Yang Mi was so angry that she almost snatched the phone directly.

Hua Shao was very discerning and hung up the phone directly.

All the audience at the scene were crazy, and even a few masters carrying cameras were holding back laughter.

Yang Mi is going crazy, Nima!

Who is she recruiting?

Since it was rumored in the base camp that she was sweaty feet, she had an extra nickname of Yang stinky feet!

This time, he was stabbed by Shen Lin again, and he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

The director also reacted quickly, and the camera instantly aimed at Yang Mi's feet, a close-up!

……

After all, Shen Lin didn't wait for Yingbao to call it a day, sent her a text message, and then rushed to Nanning Airport by car, and flew to the United States that night.

The project of "Interstellar" has been waiting for him to start for a long time!

The people behind the film are ready, and many of the set special effects are already in production.

According to Jonathan Nolan's recommendation, Shen Lin chose Hoyt van Hotema as the cameraman to guide, Hoyt likes film shooting very much, his views are very similar to Shen Lin, Shen Lin was not ready for 3D shooting.

After all, 3D special effects will make the picture dim, and the world of "Interstellar" is originally gray, if you force 3D, the picture quality is absolutely sad!

There's also the sandstorm in Interstellar, which burrows into every crack like a bug and covers every surface like a blanket in the world of the protagonist Cooper.

Shen knew that CGI would not be able to achieve the grit and immersion that satisfied him, so he turned to special effects artist Scott Fisher for help.

Fisher didn't disappoint him, C-90, a non-toxic, biodegradable material made from crushed cardboard, safe enough to be used as a filler for certain processed foods, and light enough to achieve the hovering effect Shen wanted.

Sand and dust also have a great impact on the texture and slope of the light, which further proves that 3D shooting is not advisable!

To put it simply, in addition to some interstellar images and necessary special effects, Shen Lin insisted on real-life shooting!

Can't find a cornfield in a cold zone?

Then spend half a year planting a piece;

Special effects can't do sandstorms?

Then create a contrived one;

Can't find the feeling of an actor standing in front of a green screen and performing?

Then design them a vast starry sky and a space capsule;

Want to get the most shots with your IMAX camera?

Then let the photographer carry it on his shoulder...

So isn't it an exaggeration to build a 10,000-pound spaceship in California?

Shen Lin showed the designers 1983's "Space Heroes" before filming, studying how they used things like face helmets to create realism, and then Disney built a completely sealed capsule in their studio, so that the actors could see through the window while on the ship, so that the spacecraft was not only a scene, but also a simulator.

By the way, Shen Lin insisted that science fiction films should be reasonable, so he invited the real physics master Jeep Thorne as one of the producers, to participate in the whole preparation process and spend time testing, Jeep is one of the leaders in the field of astrophysics under the general theory of relativity in the world today, and one of his masterpieces is "Black Holes and Time Bending".

His profound knowledge became the theoretical backbone of Interstellar.

Originally, Dick Cook, the person in charge of Disney, thought that Shen Lin was joking, but after looking at some of his plans, he immediately realized that this person was absolutely paranoid!

Good directors are paranoid!

Whether it's Cameron or Nolan!

At first, Dick Cook was reluctant to work with the crowd, but Shen Lin's plan was perfectly written, covering almost all the details of the shooting.

And it is easy to make classics in science fiction films that combine physics, so Dick Cook gritted his teeth and did exactly what Shen Lin requested!

"I have no problem with Cooper handing it over to Matthew Maconnor, if nothing goes wrong, he should be worthy of the title of actor at this year's Oscars!"

In Disney's studio, Dick is discussing with Shen Lin about actors.

The first to bear the brunt is the choice of the actor Cooper, Dick Cook was reluctant to use Matthew at first, but after watching "Dallas Buyers Club", he also firmly established the possibility that Matthew could win the actor.

An actor joins in, which is definitely a good promotional video!

"Let's talk about the heroine, I still think Scarlett Johansson is the best choice!"

Shen Lin likes the widow sister very much, and he also wants to cooperate with her in next year's "Super Body".

"But Shen Lin, Scarlett's salary is very high. ”

"Hehe, can it exceed 10 million?"

Shen Lin didn't believe this wording at all, Hollywood recognized that the salary of actresses is definitely lower than that of male actors, and only a few actresses in the 20 million club have ever reached it!

Although Scarlett is very popular, she has not yet starred in a major production alone, and her box office appeal has not yet been fully reflected, and it is not until next year's "Super Body" that she becomes one of the most expensive actresses in the world!

Now, ten million dollars is enough!
