466 [Face Changing Boot]
Wang Zijun really doesn't know how to deal with emotional problems now, he already knows how good it is to live in his own way, so he has to get the two girls to live together
What else is the blessing of entering together, since the two women lived under the same roof, in addition to being angry and quarrelling, he Wang Zijun couldn't even go to bed, and it actually became the life of sleeping on the sofa.
After that night, Lin Qingxia didn't mention the divorce or going back to Taipei, it seemed that everything was back to the way it was, and Wang Zijun could only run to make a movie with a sigh in his heart.
Since Wang Zijun revealed that he was going to make a new film after the Oscars last time, many media have come to interview him one after another, or his assistant Lazim, and some went directly to D&T Films to find Frank.
Wang Zijun faced the reporters who came to the door, and refused to interview, and said that if there was anything to ask, he would ask Frank.
Frank also looked like he wanted to see the reporter, and seemed to be entangled and couldn't stand it, so he finally accidentally confided that Wang Zijun's new film is a super blockbuster that cost $25 million.
When this news was reported, fans and the media were more interested in Wang Zijun's new film.
Some media also pointed out that D&T Film Company, although it has two pillars, Bruce Lee and Wang Zijun, is already the top among Hollywood's second-rate film companies in terms of strength. But Wang Zijun invested 25 million yuan to make a so-called future film all of a sudden, which is really not a wise move.
is even a little unhappy with Wang Zijun's entry, and publicly said that Wang Zijun's big-budget new film is likely to bankrupt D&T company, which has a good development momentum.
This is not groundless, in fact, Wang Zijun's $25 million investment seems to be a lot, but fifteen years ago, "Cleopatra" spent $40 million. At that time, there was no advanced computer and digital technology, and the production had to pursue the most realistic effect, which led to large-scale set construction. For example, the famous scene in the film, Cleopatra's visit to Rome, the scene is majestic, and the streets and gates are built with real building materials, so much so that it is said that the crew of "Cleopatra" intends to rebuild a Roman city.
This $40 million, after the 90s, is equivalent to $400 million.
Then, this "Cleopatra" made the actor Elizabeth. Taylor and Richard. Burton's love also made the 20th Century Fox that filmed it almost bankrupt.
The box office failure of "Cleopatra" silenced the directors and film companies who were eager to make blockbuster films. This influence has been extended, and even today, there are few films that have invested $10 million.
Those who saw Wang Zijun unhappy, after hearing the news, are now secretly waiting for D&T Film Company to go bankrupt. Of course, 25 million will not allow Wang Zijun and Bruce Lee's company to go bankrupt, but if it really hits the street, it is still certain that the vitality will be damaged.
Cooks and their white spoon models and props are already more than half done, and Al. Pacino and Jack. Nicholson, along with the other main actors, was recruited to train with Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong after becoming familiar with various firearms in a shooting club.
The training location was provided by Schwarzenegger, the bodybuilding center where he used to work.
With the participation of Wang Zijun, the set designer was also busy building a large-scale set.
Everything went on in an orderly manner, and after a while, Frank threw out the title of Wang Zijun's new film to the media, called "The Face of the Heroes", and there were two starring actors, one was Al. Pacino, the other is Jack. Nicholson.
This time, it immediately attracted the attention of several movie giants, the big production plus two leading actors with super high acting skills, or Wang Zijun, who has a good directorial level, these factors add up, it is basically equivalent to a movie with good box office competitiveness. …,
At the end of July, all kinds of preliminary preparations were finally completed, and Wang Zijun decided to start the machine.
Before that, Wang Zijun encountered an interesting thing.
When making the prop model, due to the lack of starts, Industrial Light & Magic transferred a few more to it.
One of them is actually an old acquaintance, and Wang Zijun can't be more familiar with him!
James. Cameron, director of "Terminator 2", "Titanic", "Avatar".
When Wang Zijun saw him for the first time, he thought he had made a mistake, and the 24-year-old Cameron was full of vitality and was an out-and-out handsome guy.
It wasn't until Wang Zijun asked some questions that it was finally determined that director Cameron became a small modeler for his Industrial Light & Magic company.
In fact, Cameron has been playing since last year. After Lucas's "Star Wars" was released, he vowed to be a director. Then I started to use my break to study the construction of sci-fi models, and I was ready to use these models to make a 10-minute sci-fi short film with my friends.
Cameron traveled extensively before getting his first job in Hollywood in 1980 – making prop models for "Star Wars" for Carman Studios.
It's just that due to the butterfly effect, Cameron actually joined the Industrial Light & Magic company in the summer of 1978.
Wang Zijun was very happy and felt that let this kid experience two more years, and then invest in him to shoot "The Terminator".
This is fate!
Three years ago, there was a young man named Stallone who took the script he wrote and looked for investment everywhere. Many studios were optimistic about the script, but Stallone insisted that he should play the lead actor in order to sell the script, which made those studios abandon their investment.
At that time, Lin Yi was born, and Wang Zijun only had a newborn son in his eyes, and he returned to Taiwan not long after. b, I simply forgot what Stallone was.
As a result, Stallone, who ran into a wall everywhere, came to D&T to find Frank with his script, and because Stallone insisted on starring himself because he had no acting experience, Frank did not hesitate to refuse the investment.
Then, this small-budget film with an investment of $1 million and only 28 years to shoot finally achieved a box office of more than $100 million.
The money in hand was pushed out by himself, Frank regretted it like he was going to slap himself, Wang Zijun later learned about it, and he was speechless. I actually forgot about Stallone, a box office of more than 100 million US dollars!
Already missed a Stallone, this James. Cameron can't miss it again.
"James, that robotic arm could be made a little longer, more post-modern with a metallic feel. I heard that you have learned to draw and held an art exhibition, so I will leave this improvement work to you. Wang Zijun patted James earnestly. Cameron's shoulder, "You're amazing, I'm bullish on you." ”
Cameron's idol today is George. Lucas, but he also admires Wang Zijun very much, especially the whimsy in "Into the Ghost Love". What's more, the industrial light and magic company that does special effects for "Star Wars" was actually founded by Wang Zijun, which made Cameron, who likes "Star Wars" very much, surprised.
Wang Zijun took special care of him and often praised him, which flattered Cameron, who is not a fart now, and was full of energy.
"Thank you, King!" Cameron received Wang Zijun's order and immediately began the renovation work.
On July 28, 1978, "The Face of the Heroes", which had been in preparation for several months, finally started.
The scene at the FBI's California headquarters was actually filmed in a private company in California, and the temporary decoration of the office hall seemed to look like it.
In the first act of the film, the terrorist Custer. Trojan sniper detective Sean. Archer, who killed Sean's son by mistake, Wang Zijun stayed until the end to make up the filming. …,
The first thing to shoot was a literary drama at the FBI's headquarters in California. Nicholson is worthy of being a talented actor, and with a subtle expression and action, Sean's justice, hatred and responsibility are vividly played. Wang Zijun only needs to explain the requirements to him, and then communicate with the photographer, and he doesn't have to worry about his performance at all.
Over and over again, or over again!
Wang Zijun feels that it is so cool to direct, and working with these actors with excellent acting skills is completely different from working with those newcomers, and it is indescribably relaxed.
One of the difficulties in the filming of "Two Heroes" is the contradictory changes between the two protagonists after the face change. Nicholson and Al. In Pacino's case, it can't be a problem at all.
Wang Zijun thought that he would spend a lot of effort to shoot the literary drama, but there were not a few N machines, and it was so smooth that he felt unreal.
For example, in the current scene, Al. Troy, a terrorist played by Pacino, goes to meet his brother who planted the bomb. Passing by the choir singing hymns, Al. Pacino nervously listened to the hymn and nervously twisted her body to sing along, and when a choir girl saw it, she was so stunned that the score fell to the ground.
Al. Pacino walked over with a twisted body and singing hymns like a psychopath, slapped the ass of the girl who bent down to pick up the sheet lasciviously, and then returned the sheet music to her.
A speechless scene was seen, and the entire choir members solemnly sang the hymn, while Al. The terrorist played by Pacino is behind the girl, singing hymns affectionately while sitting on the girl's hips in a lewd crotch movement.
"Cards! Alice, your expression is unnatural, solemn, you are singing a hymn! Wang Zijun suddenly shouted to stop, but it was not because of Al. Pacino, but a dragon actor named Lis.
"But, the director...... I want to laugh! Alice pointed to Al, who was holding her hip against her hips. Pacino.
Wang Zijun said: "It's okay if you want to laugh, if you delay the shooting, I can make you cry even if you want to." Think about it, if you don't do it again, your Hollywood star dreams will be shattered, and you will roll back to your hometown from Hollywood in a gloomy way, so you won't be able to laugh. ”
Alice couldn't laugh after eating Wang Zijun's intimidation, and when she thought that she had to leave Hollywood, her expression immediately became extremely reverent.
This time, one passed, and after the shooting, Al. Pacino walked over and smiled bitterly at Wang Zijun: "Wang, if these scenes are projected, my pious godfather will probably kill me." ”
"That proves that you are a talented actor." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
Al. Pacino's performance, similar to that of Nicholas, who also played this role in later generations. Cage is different, not as open as Cage, but his eyes are more expressive than his body movements and facial expressions.
Of course, this is also relative, in fact, Al. Pacino's performance is already very nervous, and I'm afraid that after seeing these shots, I'm afraid that his jaw will fall.
