Li Wei is still staying in the studio in Chicago, the pre-shooting of "The Outlaw" is going smoothly, but the progress is a little slow, although the film does not have many action scenes, but the plot is complex, it needs to travel to many public venues in Chicago, and it is very troublesome to mobilize, and it often takes several days to complete a scene.
When the Chicago scene is over, he has to transfer to Dillsboro, North Carolina, where there are two major scenes waiting for him to shoot, one is a train crash and the other is a dam tracking, and the preparations have been underway many years ago, and almost all of ILM's special effects team have rushed there, only the makeup artist remains in Chicago.
Li Wei has been filming the hotel plot at the beginning and end of the movie these days, which is basically his one-man show.
He spends more than two hours a day on makeup, and he can't star in this movie in his true colors, he wants to become a middle-aged man about forty years old.
In the dressing room on the second floor of the Chicago Hilton Hotel, agent Tracy and studio manager Michael Murphy are in the dressing room. Linton was accompanying Li Wei.
The makeup artist has just completed the disguise for Li Wei, and he can start filming after a while.
After the makeup artist went out, Michael. Linton reported to him:
"Boss, the copyright of that comic belongs to the author, a cartoonist from Tennessee, his name is Lowell. Cunningham agreed to sell the full copyright of "Black Super SWAT Team", but there are two conditions, one is to participate in the writing of the film script, and the other is to ask for dividends from the first adapted movie! ”
Li Wei plans to drastically change the original work, he wants to make a "Men in Black" with a very different style from his previous life, and next year he will release the sky-defying masterpiece "Jurassic Park", he can't let the box office of this movie surpass him too much.
"You can talk to him about dividends, but he can't participate in the script work, and I will sign him at most!" Li Wei made a partial compromise.
"In addition, after I signed a sponsorship contract with Nordica Clothing, their boss approached me and wanted to ask you to endorse their brand, do you need me to participate in the negotiation?" Michael. Linton knew it was Tracy's job, but he wanted to take it because of the high commission.
Li Wei turned his head and glanced at Tracy, "What is your opinion?" ”
Tracy thought about it for a moment before saying, "I recently signed Liv. Taylor, and Cameron. Diaz, I'm going to find a film appointment for them during this time, let Michael do it! ”
"Anything else?" Li Wei looked at the two and asked.
"One more thing!" Tracy took out a document and said: "This is an invitation letter from Global Music Television, a subsidiary of the media giant Viacom Group, to hold a new film award, called the MTV Movie Awards, I think this is a worthless award, I don't recommend you to attend!" ”
Li Wei is interested, Viacom Group has not yet acquired Paramount, but the group's boss Lei Shidong wants to enter the film industry and will soon enter Hollywood, and the MTV Movie Awards is the Golden Popcorn Award, a famous film in the previous life, this is a movie award specially designed for action movies, and it is an award voted by fans, and Li Wei will not miss it.
"This award will be held in April, and you will remind me that I must attend!"
“ok!” Tracy has no objection, "The End of the World" should be completed in April, and Li Wei will have plenty of time at that time.
Li Wei saw that the two of them no longer reported to work, so he left the dressing room.
The passage of the dressing room leads directly to the ballroom, and the crew has completed the set, executive director David Brown. Finch was filming Paris at this time. Hilton's catwalk shots.
The scene of the banquet hall requires a large number of extras, almost hundreds of people, and the theme is a fundraising banquet.
There was a stage for models to walk the catwalk in the center of the venue. Finch had finished filming, he walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and said: "Lee, I want to congratulate you, your "Hurricane Rescue" finally got 170 million overseas box office, and in 1991, only "Terminator 2" can surpass you on the global box office list!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Li Wei said: "Mr. Spielberg's "Captain Hook" opened simultaneously around the world, and the overseas box office has exceeded 190 million, and it will soon exceed 200 million! ”
"But the North American box office of "Captain Hook" is too low, with only 110 million accumulated so far, and it will be drawn soon, and the possibility of catching up with "Hurricane Rescue" is very low!" David. Finch is very envious that Li Wei has only shot two films, and the total global box office is 600 million US dollars, which is definitely the biggest miracle of the film market in the past ten years.
Li Wei is not particularly happy, because he can't share much of the $600 million, and during this time, Touchstone and New Line have been settling overseas box office shares for him, which adds up to less than $10 million, and most of the profits have been made by the two companies.
Li Weizheng and David. Finch spoke, Paris. Hilton suddenly rushed over and said with a sneer: "Lee, why are you dressed so old, your appearance is really ugly, especially your beard, it reminds me of a fluffy poodle!" ”
The little girl obviously still has a grudge, and she will take revenge when she seizes the opportunity.
Li Wei ignored her and said to David. Finch said, "David, go get ready, and start filming my scene in ten minutes!" ”
Paris. Seeing that he was leaving, Hilton hurriedly tugged on his sleeve, "Lee, it's not fun to walk the catwalk, I want to sing in your movie!" ”
Li Wei nodded and said, "Go and sing, I'll let the photographer take a picture of your song!" ”
"You can't edit it after shooting!" Paris. Hilton tilted his head and said in a sophisticated voice: "I know what the movie is all about, you can't fool me!" ”
"Huh?" Li Wei was very surprised and praised: "With your wisdom, you can already go to college, maybe you can get a degree, really Parry!" ”
"Don't call me Parry!" Paris. Hilton was annoyed, "Anyone can bark, but you can't bark, because when you bark, I will think of your pit bull!" ”
Li Wei was amused by her, "Then what should I call you?" ”
Paris. Hilton thought for a while, she stretched out her little hand in front of Li Wei, and said proudly: "Call me Your Highness, Your Highness Paris!" I give you the right to kiss the back of my hand, and you can be my knight!" ”
Knight? Li Wei laughed, turned around and left, it's not too late to do it when you grow up!
Filming soon unfolded.
"Seven scenes and fourteen acts once, action!"
Li Wei put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked slowly into the venue. Jin Bo is a famous doctor in the city of Chicago.
David. Finch directs the camera crew behind him, the microphone held high above his head, and he walks through the banquet seats, greeting his colleagues and communicating with several hidden villains.
Kim Bo finally came to his wife, Helen.
Helen is played by Tia. Leonie, wearing a black dress with suspenders, a white jewelry necklace around her neck, her long golden hair tightly coiled, looking dignified and elegant, she was surrounded by two men talking, and from time to time she glanced at Jin Bo, her eyes were full of love.
Jin Bo came to him and hooked his finger at Helen, "Okay, that's it, there's nothing to do here, come with me!" He dragged Helen back.
"Unaccompanied!" Helen first said goodbye to the two men beside her, then put it on Jin Bo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you for breaking the siege, I can't find a topic soon!" ”
“cut!”
This scene mainly shows the harmonious husband and wife relationship between Jin Bo and Helen, and when Helen is murdered, it touches the audience's sympathy, and Jin Bo is definitely not a murderer.
After filming, the banquet hall began to be re-set, and at the end of the film, there was also a banquet scene with the theme of a drug launch.
Taking advantage of the gap between the sets, Li Wei and Tia. Leonie started chatting, since this girl and him had a spring festival, the two basically did not communicate in private, Tia. Leonie never offered to go on a date with him, as if the lingering in the car that night didn't exist.
"My role will end soon, Li, I'm leaving the crew soon, when you need me to cooperate with the promotion, you can contact me at any time!" Tia. Leonie is a workman.
Li Wei was also businesslike, holding a shelf and saying, "I will contact you in the evening, I want to discuss the publicity plan with you!" ”
This is a very clear hint.
Tia. Leonie blushed a little and whispered, "Lee, I'm already engaged, really, I hope we can forget that night!" ”
"I've forgotten, I don't even know who you are!" Li Wei also suppressed his tone, "If you don't mind, you can come to my room, let's introduce it?" ”
"No, no, I'm not going to your room, that Bichi in Diaz will block your door every night!" Tia. Leonie looked angry.
How do you know she's blocking my door? Li Wei couldn't help but smile and asked, "I don't know how many floors you live on!" ”
"Eighth floor, room seven!" Tia. Leonie changed her smile after speaking, "Lee, I heard that the Hilton Hotel sponsored your movie, and our accommodation is free?" Can you please say hello to them, I have relatives coming to Chicago in a few days and I want to arrange for them! ”
Li Wei signed a contract with the Hilton Hotel for two months, and the current accommodation of the crew is still in the free period, and it is not a problem to bring a few people in, he can't help but look at Tia again. Leoni, I don't want to spend any money at all, you are really a girl who can do business.
Cameron. That's not the case with Diaz, who has been dealing with her for two months and hasn't seen her ask for anything other than signing in to Tracy.
