Chapter 46: The X-Men?
Compared with the cost of $4 million in "Saw 2" in the previous life, the $10 million investment proposed by Lin Han now is undoubtedly much higher.
In his previous life, James Wen, that is, Wen Ziren, handed over the sequel to someone else to direct after he created "Saw Horror", and in this life, Lin Han still arranged it like this.
After all, he himself is too busy, although the filming time of the "Chainsaw" series is not long, but once filming, he must be wholehearted and can't take care of anything else, so Lin Han can only hand over the guide to Darren Lynn Bowsman.
But unlike Wen Ziren, Lin Han not only personally wrote the script of "Saw 2", but also served as the film producer.
The script of "Saw 2" is more sophisticated than in the previous life, because although "Saw 2" still earned more than 100 million dollars at the box office after its release, it has declined in evaluation and has many flaws.
As a person who pursues perfection, Lin Han naturally wants to make up for these flaws, so the version of the script that Darren Lynn Bowsman got can be said to be almost perfect, and he can hardly find any fault.
With a well-developed script and plenty of money, plus Linham's escort, if Bowsman still can't shoot "Saw 2", then he can simply find a piece of bread and crash to death.
"Perfect, just perfect! I can't wait to make this script into a movie and present it to the audience! That's great! After more than an hour, Bowsman finished reading the script, and the excitement on his face was palpable.
Lin Han nodded slightly and encouraged: "Do a good job!" If you can make me satisfied, I will celebrate your achievements and give you a big red envelope! ”
Lin Han's words are not polite, the actors of the "Chainsaw" crew all know Lin Han's red envelope, which is really big.
"Saw 2" mainly focuses on the perverted murderer "jigsaw", compared with the first tense, complex, thrilling, and gradually unraveling the mystery through guò flashbacks, "Saw 2" is a lot more straightforward in the plot, because the mystery is removed and the murderer is known, the impact is naturally halved.
So, how to keep the movie still interesting? In this regard, the biggest guarantee is the absolute doubling of the gore - the new methods of torture, the complicated killing traps and devices, will stimulate the audience's senses to the greatest extent, so that they can once again experience a horror classic with no urine spots!
In addition to a more complete script, Lin Han is also ready to strengthen the soundtrack of "Saw 2", for a horror movie, the soundtrack is definitely the top priority, the script is the soul, the soundtrack is the connected nerves, and the importance is self-evident.
In addition, Lin Han also asked Boesman to maintain the roughness of "Saw", because it will make the movie more realistic and make the audience feel more immersive.
Lin Han didn't want to give $4 million to Bowsman, but in the end, he got himself a horror movie with gorgeous pictures, which would be self-defeating!
Subsequently, shortly after agreeing with Bousman, the funds for "Saw 2" will be allocated to him through the account of Williams Films, and at the same time, the contact information of the leading actors of "Chainsaw" was also given to Bousman, so as not to find contact information one by one, and the maximum guarantee that Boesman could complete the preliminary preparations for the film in the shortest possible time and officially start filming.
It's August now, and Lin Han has already set the release date of "Saw 2" in his heart, and he is aiming for the Halloween schedule at the end of October.
This schedule is completely prepared for horror movies, Lin Han naturally can't miss it, Boussman has a month to complete the filming of the movie, and there are nearly two months for post-production and publicity, which is enough.
Because he wanted to continue the box office myth, Lin Han doubled his investment, and the publicity cost also rose to $6 million.
Bowsman left with great ambition, and Lin Han returned to his mansion in Beverly Hills, which was prepared by Galaxy Pictures, and received Lin Han with his old friend Edward.
Ignoring Edward and a few beautiful women in bikinis sucking water in the pool, Lin Han returned to his room, opened his laptop, and started coding.
Today is a very important day, because, on this day, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which has been serialized for more than three months, is about to end, and Lin Han has already announced the news on his personal Weibo, so "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", a work that created a tomb robbery novel, is rising wildly today.
In the afternoon, Lin Han coded two chapters, had dinner, and after a little rest, Lin Han began to write the last chapter, his fingers tapped silently on the keyboard, and wonderful words appeared one by one:
"At that time, it was in the troubled times of changing the dynasty, there were natural disasters everywhere, and the common people suffered from upside down, and the three of them first went to Henan Pishan to open the market, and stole several ancient tombs one after another, and took out the most valuable Ming utensils in the tomb......"
Because it is the last chapter, therefore, Lin Han wrote very carefully, and it took more than two hours before it was finally completed, after entering the author's background to publish, Lin Han drank saliva, and began to write a testimonial according to the convention, the content is nothing more than to thank the fans for their support, thank you editor Xiao Lizi, thank you Huaxia Chinese Network, thank you CCTV......
At the end, Lin Han wrote: "Don't say much, everyone, our next book, "Moving Labyrinth" will fight the rivers and lakes again, hahaha! ”
In the end, Lin Han announced the news of the new book, and as soon as Lin Han's fans saw the name, a bad premonition rose in their hearts, and they couldn't say what it was.
Lin Han himself knows that he is going to "die" again, because "Moving Labyrinth" is a movie novel, and in terms of plot, it is naturally impossible to make readers feel as good as online novels.
After finishing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Lin Han took a bath, and then quietly drove out, and the place he went to was naturally Anne Hathaway's apartment, now he knows the taste of marrow, and he can't sleep without having a few soul-and-body integrations with Anne Hathaway every day, Anne Hathaway is very happy for Lin Han's strong needs.
Because this fully proves that Lin Han is the only woman in the world, not a lover like other billionaires, she knows that the men behind many Hollywood female stars can't even hand over the "public grain" on time, the reason is naturally launched on other women.
After finalizing "Saw 2", Lin Han finally relaxed a little, and the follow-up matters of "Princess Diaries 2", "Batman Returns", and "Saw 2" are all in charge of Huang Fanglin, and Lin Han can shake his hands.
In the next few days, Lin Han asked Huang Fanglin to transfer a team of photographers to him, and then flew to Marseille, France with Anne Hathaway and the team.
As the current popular upstart in Hollywood, Lin Han's every move is naturally particularly eye-catching, and when the outside world speculated whether Lin Han was going to secretly shoot a new movie, Lin Han himself directly posted on Twitter that he was going to shoot the MV for the English single "Umakemewanna".
At the same time, Lin Han also said that the MV needs some people to star, and he publicly invited "Batman" Christian Bale and super agent "Jason Bourne" Matt Damon to star in the MV on Twitter.
For the invitation of the big boss, Christian Bale naturally did not refuse, and quickly responded and readily agreed; And Matt Damon, as Lin Han's friend in the circle, is naturally willing to help.
What Lin Han didn't expect in the end was that in the end, there were too many people who came to Marseille, in addition to Christian Bale and Matt Damon who he invited, even Natalie Portman also came, and the most surprising thing for Lin Han was that "Uncle Wolf" Hugh Jackman actually arrived.
This surprised Lin Han and was very happy at the same time, so he did not refuse to come, rented a luxury yacht, and officially started filming.
It only took three days to shoot, but the whole MV is well-made, completely cinematic-level, and the cast is also very big, it is simply star-studded.
After the filming was completed, Lin Han gave red envelopes to the stars who came to help in turn, although they said that they would not be paid, but Lin Han said that this was a Chinese tradition, so they could only accept it.
After finishing it, Uncle Wolf Hugh Jackman found Lin Han and said that he wanted to talk to Lin Han about "X-Men", Lin Han thought slightly in his heart and thought: Could it be that the third "X-Men: Last Stand" also encountered a financial crisis? It's really, great!
