Lin Nan dared to invest 400 million to shoot a movie, that is because Lin Nan is confident in opening the global film market, although it is a little difficult to get a billion box office in the global film market, but it is not impossible, and there is still some hope.

And for the big guys in China, they absolutely dare not do this, because they simply have no ability to sell movies abroad, or so far, the only successful case in the whole of China in this matter may be Lin Nan's "Chainsaw".

In short, Lin Nan's move has played a good hype effect, so that he has been on the cusp of public opinion news, although he has received the admiration and admiration of many people, but also has been jealous of many people, but Lin Nan does not care about this, if few people live in the world, how boring it is, not to mention that they can't bring any substantial harm to themselves.

The preparation for "Resident Evil" took more than two months, and it did not end until the third part of "Saw Horror" was released, and Lin Nan also watched the movie in theaters in the United States.

Lin Nan is quite satisfied with the effect of the movie, although it deviates a little from what he originally envisioned, but there is no way, he no longer has the energy to shoot the "Chainsaw" series of movies, so he can only hand it over to other directors, as long as the general direction and theme of the plot do not deviate, Lin Nan will not go to Xingshi to ask for guilt, after all, each director's understanding of the film must be slightly different, which is forgivable.

And with the support of excellent movie quality, the box office of the third part of "Chainsaw" also surpassed the first two parts of the series. hit a new high, breaking through the $200 million mark, bringing Lin Nan a lot of profits, which greatly reduced the financial pressure on Nanshan Film and Television Company, which had just spent 400 million yuan to make a movie.

After staying in the United States for two months, Lin Nan found that he also had a great advantage in the United States, that is, he no longer had to worry about being recognized and causing a riot when he went out.

In fact, it is not only difficult for Easterners to recognize the faces of Westerners, but also for Westerners to recognize the faces of Easterners, to give a very simple example. In another world James. Cameron is even that powerful. But if he really walks on the streets of Huaxia, it is estimated that he will be noticed more because he is a foreigner, but there are really few people who can recognize him.

And in this world Linnan is more famous than James. Cameron was far from it, and it was even more difficult to be recognized when he walked on the road, which also made it a lot easier for him to go out.

Mid-May. After two and a half months of preparation, the crew of "Resident Evil" finally started. Lin Nan held a start-up ceremony with Chinese characteristics for all the crew according to his usual habits. This group of foreigners was stunned, and they wondered why the director had to invite them to eat an exotic meal before the start of work?

In more than two months of preparation, Lin Nan and the members of the crew are almost familiar with each other. And Lin Nan's English level has also been greatly improved, at least he has learned how to use English correctly to scold, before this Li Zhenning only taught him the word silly (stupid), but when he used this word to scold people, Lin Nan always felt that he had lost first in terms of momentum.

In the past two months, Lin Nan has also done a lot of exchanges with Mailer, mainly to learn the way of film shooting in Europe and the United States, because the East and the West are very different in terms of shooting methods, so Lin Nan must understand these differences first, otherwise there may be a lot of problems in the process of shooting, after all, the whole team is all Americans except him, and he can't let everyone adapt to his habits, right?

Mailer was not impatient with Lin Nan's various questions, but cooperated with the answers very patiently, as long as he knew everything, which moved Lin Nan silently for a long time.

The film begins with Alice's role at the entrance to the "hive", in the large villa.

After two months of training, Mira. Jovovich's acting skills have also been given a good boost, and with various physical training, she looks even more sexy and seductive.

There are already many young guys in the crew who can't help but express their love to her, but Mila is very cold to these young and handsome guys, of course, according to Mira's words, she just wants to concentrate on making movies now, and don't think about other things for the time being.

Of course, the credibility of this statement is really debatable, as can be seen from the fact that Mira likes to run to Lin Nan when she has nothing to do, and of course, Mira also has her own explanation for this - she is discussing the movie with the director.

Mila's behavior made the young men in the crew look at Lin Nan with a trace of envy and grievance every time, which made Lin Nan quite embarrassed, and the lewd eyes of the man who Mailer threw over from time to time made Lin Nan want to throw his shoes directly in Mailer's face, this old boy is really shameless, and the most important thing is that he thinks of himself as shameless as him.

Mira's abnormal behavior made Lin Nan a little puzzled, but Lin Nan preferred to believe that Mila was really simply asking for advice on her performance, after all, Mila has not gone beyond the relationship between ordinary friends until now, which is very rare in an open West.

The filming of the movie went quite smoothly, and the most important thing to pay attention to in this movie is not the acting skills of the actors, but the design of the scene, the preparation of props and post-production.

Post-production aside, after all, it is only in the post-production that needs to be done, and now the two difficulties faced by the crew of "Resident Evil" every day are the preparation of scene design and props.

It is impossible for Lin Nan to find the exact same scene as "Resident Evil" in his previous life, after all, the ghost knows where the movie was filmed, so all he can do is to extract some experience from the previous movies, and then innovate on this basis to create his own "Resident Evil".

Of course, this is impossible for Lin Nan to succeed alone, fortunately, there are a lot of people in his crew, Twentieth Century Fox has found him a lot of experienced horror and thriller filmmakers, these people are gathered together, plus Lin Nan provides advice, it is not a particularly difficult thing to design the scene, but the workload is very large, which makes Lin Nan feel more tired now than when he was filming "Journey to the West".

Because he now wants to conceive a lot of things every night when he lies in bed, and most of the time ideation is actually not the most uncomfortable step, and the last choice is, Lin Nan is very sure that he will become a choice phobia after filming this movie.

If movie scene design is a torment for Lin Nan, then helping special effects makeup artists design zombies and monsters is Lin Nan's favorite thing.

In fact, the process of seeing a normal person turn into a terrifying zombie in the hands of a special effects makeup artist is very shocking, and helping the special effects makeup artist to design the appearance of zombies will always give Lin Nan an inexplicable sense of achievement.

The only thing that made Lin Nan feel a little uncomfortable was when he was making female zombies, watching those delicate and angry beauties turn into disgusting zombies in front of his eyes, which always gave Lin Nan a feeling that the years would eventually turn into skeletons.

The filming of "Resident Evil" only took about a month, and by the end of June, the shooting had been completed, which can be said to be relatively fast, and after the filming was completed, it entered the long stage of the film's real exhaustion - post-production!

Lin Nan invested 400 million Chinese dollars for "Resident Evil", and the formation of the crew, together with the actors' salaries, and the cost of the venue only cost 50 million, which is still because of the relatively high labor costs of the Americans, and Lin Nan's funds for post-production are 250 million, and he invested so much money in the post-production just to get the best results.

The first part of "Resident Evil" in the previous life can actually be said to be relatively rough from the current point of view, after all, the progress of movie special effects technology can be said to be a rapid progress, changing every day, Lin Nan is not going to engage in any top-notch special effects on his own movies, if that is the case, his 400 million investment is far from enough, and what he asks for is only a high-end special effects that meet the times.

The special effects of the first part of "Resident Evil" in the previous life stayed in 2002, and what Lin Nan has to do now is to maintain the special effects of "Resident Evil" at the level of 2008!

The special effects company was introduced and recommended by Twentieth Century Fox, and Lin Nan had communicated with the special effects company for a long time before the film started, and also explained to them what kind of special effects the movie needed and the image characteristics of the mutated monsters in the movie, so that they could design it.

After Lin Nan completed the filming of the movie, the design work of the special effects company has also been completed, and the next step is to carry out some scene special effects design and monster implantation under the command of Lin Nan, the director.

This seems very simple to say, but it is a very delicate and troublesome thing to do, which takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, fortunately, Lin Nan has been prepared for this.

And just when Lin Nan's side was in full swing to start post-production, Twentieth Century Fox also began to promote the film at the same time. (To be continued......)
