Chapter 233: Return to Los Angeles
With the passage of time, the scenes were completed one by one, Shen Lian's understanding of the role became more and more in place, and even NG rarely appeared on him, and on June 30, "District 9" will return to the United States after filming the last scene in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The man who controls the machine is knocked down by Gray, a soldier officer played by David James, and Shen Lian falls to the ground, crawling forward step by step. At this time, the right half of his body was fully dressed in a special effects suit. And the spaceship is also receiving the energy source and is about to take off. Vikus and Prawn Christopher Johnson have promised to come back and rescue Vikus three years after they return to their planet. They are Vikus' only hope. Shen Lian's eyes were full of pleading.
"It's unbelievable!" Gray walked over, his gun aimed at Vikus. If Shen Lian's Vikus only looked down on aliens before, then Gray hated them in his heart, and he could shoot aliens who didn't like him without hesitation. Gray also looked down on Vikus, so when Vikus's body began to mutate, Gray was naturally very happy to play the role of hunting down Vikus: "Now I know why everyone wants a piece of the pie. I can't wait for someone to dissect you. โ
Shen Lian was dressed in a big gulp, and the enemy was strong and weak in the absolute sense of the word, and he didn't have any ability to resist.
"But you know what, you're never going to waste a second of me again. You orc. I'm going to slaughter you with my own hands. "David James's performance is very in place, his expression is very hideous, and the image of an iron-blooded shrimp demon is vividly displayed.
Five actors in special effects costumes appeared, and five prawns looked at Gray fiercely.
Gray quickly got up and pointed his gun at the prawns: "Stand back, NTMD." Back off. "The strength and weakness of the enemy and the enemy have been reversed in an instant. Davy's response at this time is very professional, and it is not the first time that he has played a soldier in a movie.
The prawns slowly surrounded Gray, and Gray also understood that he could only fight to the death at this time. "Bang, bang!" Two shots knocked out one in an instant. Turned around and exploded the head of a prawn again. Then after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, and they were still dismembered by the prawns.
Seeing a living person in front of him, a fellow human being, being mutilated alive in front of him. Shen Lian also showed a panicked expression. Struggling to move his body backwards.
โCUTใ Pass. Neil shouted, which means that the part of "District 9" in South Africa is completely over, and only some reshoots need to be made in the United States, and the film will be completed.
The ensemble was evacuated little by little. For the leading actors, the quality of the film may be very important, and for them, the remuneration received is the most important thing.
Watching the crowd fade away, Neil and Shen Lian, who were standing on the side, were full of emotion. Neil is directing a feature-length film for the first time and conducting so many people for the first time. And Shen Lian is filming abroad for the first time, although he can't talk about how deep he has a relationship with these group performers, but after all, he has been together for so long.
"What is the first thing to do when you get back to Los Angeles?" Neil asked with a smile. Shen Lian chats with different girls in different languages every day at noon and night, and he is clear as a director. also misunderstood Shen Lian's personality from the heart.
"Let's go take a shower and clean me up." Shen Lian's cleanliness is not strict, but in the environment of the slums of Africa, even if he takes a bath, he feels that he can't wash himself.
"Haha. I thought you were going to ...... first," Neil Yin laughed.
"You're thinking too much." Shen Lian turned around and walked into the bedroom and began to pack his luggage.
The ratings of "New Love" finally premiered on CCTV were quite ideal. In the middle and late stages, because the plot was biased towards the grievances of the previous generation, Shen Lian's appearance was greatly reduced, and some audience popularity was lost. However, the average rating of 3.26 and the highest rating of 3.7 have become the top three TV dramas in recent years. The number of jรน obtained from the release on TVB in Hong Kong is even more eye-catching. The average rating is 36 points, and the highest rating of 42 points surpasses Xue Kaiqi's previous TV series "Cadet Police Ambition" filmed on TVB. Good ratings also mean that the second round of broadcasting rights will definitely be purchased by many TV stations. For the popularity of the work, Er Dongsheng is also very happy.
Shen Lian and Xue Kaiqi were also made into a pair by the audience. For the agile couple who didn't even have a kiss scene from beginning to end, the audience also expressed regret and said that they wanted the director to reshoot, and Er Dongsheng also humorously said that he would promote Shen Lian and Xue Kaiqi to cooperate again in future works.
has aroused a very high degree of topicality, and Xue Kaiqi has also begun to appear frequently in the mainland. When asked about Shen Lian's question, Xue Kaiqi gave a very firm denial, saying that the relationship between the two is more similar to that of confidants, and they will not fall in love with each other but have friends who are really close to each other. Because Shen Lian was not in China at this time, the reporter could only stop there.
Of course, advertisers won't let go of such a popular pair. Pepsi Cola got the opportunity to promote the cooperation between Shen Lian and Xue Kaiqi, and signed Xue Kaiqi as their spokesperson for the next year, and it was Miss World Zhang Zilin who was signed with Xue Kaiqi.
At noon on July 1, the crew arrived in Los Angeles by plane. didn't stay in the city much, and rushed to the Hollywood set almost non-stop to start a new round of shooting. Filming is 95 percent complete, and there are still some special effects shots left to be done on a green screen.
The shots on the green screen are not so easy to shoot, almost entirely by imagining that they are operating the machine, constantly operating the instruments in their hands. This is also relatively rare for Shen Lian. Speaking of the movies he made, there are really not many that use this kind of special effects technology. However, in terms of domestic Xianxia dramas, most of them adopt this kind of non-physical performance. Of course, the requirements for actors are definitely not so high.
"CUT, over." This kind of shooting is not too difficult, as long as you manage your expression, it is not too difficult for Shen Lian, Neil quickly announced that he was clear.
"That's all for today's shooting, we'll continue filming tomorrow, you can go back and have a good rest first, the assistant director and screenwriter will stay for a while, and we'll discuss a thing." Because it was much faster than the previously scheduled plan, Neil was also very generous in giving the actors more time to rest. After all, there are still two or three days before it is officially completed.
"Whew." Slumped on the chair without caring about the image, Shen Lian picked up the drink on the table and took a few sips. Coming directly from the cold winter of South Africa to the midsummer of the United States, Shen Lian felt a little unbearable, and the lack of water in his body during this time was a bit strict.
Suddenly, it was dark in front of him, and Shen Lian's eyes were covered by someone's hands. Subconsciously I had to do it, after all, I didn't have any acquaintances here except Neil and Chen Hang. I carefully felt the touch from the skin around my eyes, it was very delicate, it was obviously a girl's hand, so I didn't struggle much.
"Guess who I am?" Although the person who came deliberately lowered the tone, the voice was indeed very familiar.
