Chapter Twenty-Four: Flying Shooting
Hollywood, also known as Hollywood, is located on the west coast of the United States, just outside Los Angeles, California, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is the world's most famous film center.
Here, there are various crews coming and going every day, so when Lin Han came to Hollywood with the crew of "Chainsaw", he didn't attract much attention.
Although Lin Han won the Best Short Film award at the Sundance International Film Festival, he is neither James Cameron nor Michael Bay, so naturally not much attention is paid to him.
What's more, this is the United States, where people are very particular about equality, not to mention, in Hollywood, all kinds of big names have seen it, and it is no wonder for a long time.
Lin Han is also happy to keep a low profile, after coming to Hollywood, he first took the crew to settle down in the hotel, and then rented some vehicles to travel and carry shooting equipment, as if he had lived here for many years.
Although this is true, it is a secret hidden in the bottom of my heart.
The script of "Chainsaw" has already been handed over to assistant director Huang Fanglin for study, and as for the leading actors, there are only a dozen people, so soon, in a dirty toilet, "Chainsaw" officially started filming.
"Chainsaw" tells the story of young Adam, who wakes up from a coma and finds himself locked in a basement with another person on the other side of the basement - Dr. Lawrence.
In the middle of the two men was a long-dead man, covered in blood and holding a 380-caliber pistol.
As Adam and Lawrence panicked, an auto-playing tape rang out that ordered Lawrence to kill Adam within eight hours or both would die, as well as Lawrence's wife and daughter.
At this time, the two realized that they had been kidnapped by a murderous demon named "Jigsaw", thinking of the tragic situation of those people that Jigsaw had killed, both of them were desperately trying to escape, but there were only two hand saws here, and the hand saws could not cut the thick iron chains, and suddenly, the scene entered a predicament.
"Chainsaw" has a very visually striking horror atmosphere from the beginning, with a small, dirty place, two strangers, the orders of a terrifying murderer, an unsolvable dilemma, and a qiē, all of which are so attractive.
"Just shoot like this, do you understand?" After explaining part of the plot of "Chainsaw" to the two actors who played Adam and Lawrence, Lin Han stood behind the surveillance camera.
As for the assistant director Huang Fanglin, he is responsible for coordinating the rest of the scene, and the two apprentices who are responsible for filming are both young men in their twenties, with very stable hands and good skills.
After the filming officially began, Lin Han was very happy to see that the two leading actors quickly entered the relationship, although they are not big names, but in Hollywood, even if they are extras, they are all good actors.
Soon, the filming of this day's scenes was completed, and the progress was very fast, basically one or two passed, and there were no NG multiple times.
Although Huang Fanglin said that he could continue filming, Lin Han knew that these American actors followed the "eight-hour work system", if they wanted to shoot continuously for a day, not to mention the matter of adding money, even if they added money, people may not be willing to shoot, and at night, a lot of nightlife is waiting for them to enjoy!
Seeing several actors leaving, Huang Fanglin sighed, Lin Han patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Huang, don't sigh, at night, you can go and have some fun!" Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut! After speaking, Lin Han also winked at Huang Fanglin.
Huang Fanglin's face tightened, and he said righteously: "Hmph, am I that kind of person?" I am a typical model representative of good Chinese men!! ”
"Smack!" Lin Han slapped his face, attracted everyone's attention and announced loudly: "Everyone has worked hard all day, I invite everyone to the bar in the evening, I will pay for all the consumption, everyone says okay?" ”
"Good !!" Someone paid the bill, and this is the legendary Hollywood, and the crew immediately warmly raised their hands in favor, all discussing to experience the nightlife of a foreign country!
In the end, the old comrade Huang Fanglin, who resolutely refused to be corrupted and degenerated, also went to the bar with everyone, but his reason was to supervise everyone, not to let everyone cause trouble, and to ensure that they would not drink too much, so as not to be unable to work the next day.
It turned out that Huang Fanglin thought too much, and although everyone drank a lot that night, they all controlled the amount, so the filming of the next day was also going on normally.
In this way, under the leadership of Lin Han, a cheater who had watched the finished film of "Chainsaw" in his previous life, the crew moved to one place after another, shot one picture after another, and put many terrifying scenes into the camera one by one.
It wasn't until March 15, half a month after the filming of "Chainsaw", that everyone suddenly discovered that the filming of this movie had been basically completed!!
This is simply a flying shooting schedule, this is simply a provocation and insult to those Hollywood blockbusters whose shooting cycle is often several years, oh my God, it's crazy!
This is the same idea of all the creators of "Chainsaw" after learning that the filming was completed, and what amazed them even more was that the director who led them to complete the shortest shooting time in the history of film was actually just a 14-year-old boy!
Lin Han didn't care what they were amazed at, but rented a place to start the editing work, during which he made up for several unsatisfactory places, and after another three days, Lin Han announced that "Chainsaw" was officially completed!
After paying the remuneration, Lin Han said goodbye to the leading actors one by one, and told them that they would find them to shoot again next time, and the leading actors had a good impression of Lin Han, and they all said that they would definitely come to report on time next time to cooperate with the shooting.
After sending off the leading actors, Lin Han paid the cameramen, makeup artists, stylists, and props masters of the crew one by one, and then asked them to lead the team back to China first, leaving only Huang Fanglin and the two editors to continue editing until the finished film came out.
As for Lin Han, he brought the script he had just written and went to find a director named Tim Burton, Tim Burton is very famous, and his masterpiece is the famous "Edward Scissorhands"!
The hit movie "Battle of the Planet of the Apes" released last year is also the proud work of his life, it can be said that Tim Burton is now the spring breeze of life, and what Lin Han wants to do is to ask him to direct a live-action movie of Batman.
As mentioned earlier, the history of this world has deviated, because of the suppression of Galaxy Pictures, many film production companies in Hollywood have gone bankrupt, and the pattern of the eight major Hollywood film companies in Lin Han's previous life is gone.
As for the famous superhero Batman in his previous life, there are only a few animated movies, and no one has made live-action movies at all, and this is just cheaper than Lin Han.
In Lin Han's mind, there is a series of Batman movies, and there are multiple versions, after weighing and considering, Lin Han decided to do it according to his memory, and first get the first version, that is, the Batman version of the movie directed by Tim Burton, first, and this premise is to invite Tim Burton.
In this regard, Lin Han is very confident, because he has a well-made script, and at the same time, he is not short of money, with an investment of 56 million US dollars, I believe that Tim Burton must be very willing to challenge Batman that no one has filmed.
