Chapter 346: Preparations are coming

“Action!” With the voice of the director's assistant, everything in the studio immediately moved, and Schwarzenegger, dressed in a leather coat, strode to the front desk of the police station that had been set up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Well, the first shooting...... I can't say that it's the first time I've filmed, I've already started filming anyway, but I haven't shot it right yet. It was the scene of the police station that was filmed at the beginning, which surprised Li Xu.

Of course, this is actually his pot, who made him say "The line 'I'll be back' will be classic", so Cameron simply wanted to shoot this paragraph and asked him to come and watch it.

Even if he is the king of the world, he has to be careful before he becomes famous - he still has to be careful when he should be careful after becoming famous, but the amount of capital that makes him need to be careful has increased the bottom limit.

Therefore, when Li Xu's attention is half on the set and eight points on Cameron, he is destined to not see the tyrant on the set.

"To be honest, I still admire you bodybuilding champions very much, after all, this is not something that can be practiced overnight, and it may take a lot of time to maintain, and it will never be possible without a firm will." In the gap between filming, Li Xu said this to Schwarzenegger, who has no role for the time being.

"Mr. Li's figure is also very good, in fact, as long as you change some exercise methods, you can't meet the standard of Mr. Bodybuilder, but it's okay to become more prominent." He responded with a smile.

The accent was still very heavy, but Li Xu could barely understand it, and immediately shrugged: "I know, my fitness coach also told me, but unfortunately I don't have enough time to spend, so I can only give up." ”

Schwarzenegger's accent is like this now, not to mention a few years ago, so the T-800, a character with few lines, is really tailor-made for him, so it's no wonder that he came over to talk to Li Xu and express his gratitude at this moment.

However, it's also possible that his girlfriend asked him to come, Maria? Shriver's status in the Kennedy family is not high, but it is definitely not low, and he is qualified to attend various occasions, and he is also a nodding friend with Li Xu.

Of course, there must have been no bed, and the women of the Kennedy family were also eye-catching to Caroline.

Although Maria and Schwarzenegger were married in 86, they have known each other since 77, and it is certainly impossible to say that the relationship is not close now.

And the most interesting thing is that after Li Xu mentioned him to Cameron, when he asked people to invite, he actually refused. Then, without waiting for a second invitation, his agent came to the door and apologized that there was no good communication before, and Mr. Schwarzenegger was willing to take the role.

To say that he was not reminded, I'm afraid no one believes it, but it doesn't matter whether he has a political mind now or not, anyway, whoever becomes governor has to respect the opinion of the state legislature.

But Schwarzenegger is really dedicated, he has been shooting very seriously for two days, even if there are many shots that can be passed at one time, Cameron must shoot repeatedly, and he has no complaints.

"Arnold's Terminator is amazing, that cold feeling, completely from the inside out." After today's shooting, when several of the main characters of the crew were pulled to the bar for a drink, Cameron was full of praise for Schwarzenegger.

Although Li Xu was a little reluctant when he recommended it to him at that time, he immediately changed his concept after using it. A capable director will not be angry with the actor because the producer interferes with the casting, unless the actor really can't support it.

"Of course," Li Xu didn't mind saying a few good words for Schwarzenegger, "otherwise I wouldn't have taken a fancy to it, to be honest, I think Arnold's solo photo can be used as a poster at that time." ”

Then the conversation changed: "Still, Mike and Linda are not bad, and to be honest, I'm starting to think about a sequel now." ”

"Oh, that's definitely not my share." Together with the actor Michael? Bean sighed with some exaggeration.

"yes, you're dead." Li Xu nodded, his eyes swept back and forth between Schwarzenegger and Linda, "So, it's very difficult for Arnold to be the protagonist or Linda to be the protagonist." ”

"Isn't Arnold the Terminator?" Linda? Hamilton interjected.

"The Terminator is a robot, so you can rewrite the program." Li Xu said indifferently.

"Please, Eddie, let's wait until this movie is finished first, and then talk about the future." Cameron couldn't help but cry out at this point, and then a burst of laughter.

I don't know if it's a delusion, but I always feel that there is some worry in his tone, can I say ...... He's already hooked up with Linda?

Well, there is a possibility, after all, his second wife Jill? Annie? Hurd is unlikely to have a fate with him, as for the first wife Sharon? Williams hasn't been divorced yet, it's not a thing, and there are a few celebrities who divorced before a third party stepped in.

Cameron obviously thinks too much, Li Xu's taste is completely different from him, and among his wives, there is probably only Catherine? Bigelow barely could see it.

So, if you think about that, it's better to think about which movie to use to make Cameron repay the favor, at present, in addition to "The True Color of Heroes", if you have a little idea, it will probably be "Slaying the Wolf".

Asking Cameron to direct the American version of "Slaying the Wolf" seems to be a bit overkill?

I can't take care of this for the time being, wait for Cameron to finish "The Terminator" first, and besides, "The True Color of Heroes" hasn't started yet.

Therefore, after visiting "The Terminator", Li Xu asked Zemeckis out again.

"First of all, congratulations, Robert, no one looks down on you now." As soon as he sat down in the café, Li Xu said so.

"Thanks, Add, I don't know how long I'll have to wait without your support." Zemeckis spoke modestly, but his face was full of red light, and he was quite proud.

Also, "Back to the Future" was officially released at the end of June, Paramount operated 1,500 theaters, and then earned $15 million in the first week, directly occupying the top spot in the North American box office charts.

So far, this movie has been in theaters for five weeks, except for the fourth week and fell to second place, the other four weeks are at the top of the list, and the total box office in North America has accumulated to 90 million, which is more than 100 million.

And in terms of the long-term screening situation in this era, how can such a high-quality movie be put on for seven or eight months, no matter how good the potential is, ten months can be expected, so it is entirely possible for the North American box office to exceed 200 million.

In this way, if the overseas box office can also be harvested, let's add another 100 million, and there will be a few guys in Spielberg who can have such results, so how can Zemeckis not be proud.

Of course, the most proud should be Golden Harvest, not to mention much, just the current 90 million box office, after deducting miscellaneous expenses, can still share at least 7 million US dollars in profits.

Zou Wenhuai was probably going crazy with joy.

But it has nothing to do with Li Xu for the time being, he took a sip of coffee and went straight to the point: "You read the storyboard I gave you, although it is not completely completed, but you can talk about the feeling, how about it?" ”

"Well......" Zemeckis thought about for a moment, "it's interesting in general, especially the kind of brotherhood, it's very touching, I personally like it, it's just ......"

He pondered the words: "I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Your feeling is correct, in fact, this script was originally arranged in Hong Kong," Li Xu did not hide it at all, but there were discrepancies in the details, "You know, I have some investment in Hong Kong, and I have also made some movies to practice, and I will definitely go to the internship after graduation." So after the idea of this story first came up, it was done by the screenwriters in Hong Kong, and they did it well, so even the storyboard drawings have some Asian characteristics. ”

Zemeckis nodded and signaled that he was listening, so Li Xu continued: "Later, I wanted to move the scene back to the United States, but I didn't make it clear to the screenwriter, and I moved it directly without much change. I wanted them to rewrite it, but after thinking about it, I decided to give it to you along with the storyboard first. ”

He smiled very gently: "It's my test." ”

Zemeckis immediately laughed: "I think it should be fine, if what you need is to completely Americanize the story, and these storyboards." ”

"Looks like you're pretty sure, Robert, can you elaborate?" Li Xu asked.

"Of course!" Zemeckis nodded, and then began to speak.

However, although Li Xu made an appearance of listening, there was not much that really listened.

He asked Ze Meckis to come out, mainly to see his attitude towards his original requirements, after all, the results of "Back to the Future" made this guy almost catch up with Spielberg.

For directors, what they hate the most is the producer's fingers, not to mention the movies that can't even be changed at all.

Hong Kong directors are easy to accept this, most of them are here to make money, and Hollywood will have their own personalities, not to mention that Zemeckis is also an avid special effects lover like Cameron.

Even if the original requirements were written into the contract, but the director was willing to cooperate and unwilling to cooperate, it would cause two results.

But fortunately, Zemeckis obviously doesn't plan to repay the debt, and Li Xu's background is also there, not to mention that he and Spielberg are still friends, and Spielberg Oh.

Since that's the case, then just listen to it a little, anyway, when the time comes, if you're not satisfied, you can shoot again, it's good to make money, but it doesn't matter if you can't make money.

So, Li Xu had a new idea.

"Don't rush, take your time, it's no problem to start preparing the crew in September." After Zemeckis finished talking about it, he said, "I also need time to cast the actors—by the way, do you think the supporting actress can be replaced by Chinese?" After all, the setting is in San Francisco. ”

"This ...... Generally fine, if you don't have much to ask for at the box office. Zemeckis said after a moment's thought.

"Well, I'll try to find as many people as I can audition." Li Xu nodded.

So, when he stayed overnight at Chen's new home in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, he said to her: "Remember to audition when the time comes, if your performance can impress me and others, the role is yours." ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Chen Chong, who was bent over and pressed on the bed, replied confusedly.
