Chapter Ninety-Eight: Atlanta
In the blink of an eye, the time has entered the middle of July, and the filming process is very smooth, much faster than the budget, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But when Liang Xiaolong arrived on the set, he felt that everyone's eyes were a little weird: "Guys, I'm not a monster, I'm not Superman, don't look at me like that, right?" Andy came up and spoke on everyone's behalf: "Captain, can you give everyone two days off?" Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Guys, today is the last few company scenes, and after the filming is over, you don't need to continue to rent the venue, I will give you three days off." If you can't finish this scene, then sorry, you have to continue tomorrow. ā
It turned out that the Olympic Games were about to begin, and the venue was Atlanta, USA. Coincidentally, the 26th Olympic Games is the centenary of the modern Olympic Games, and the enthusiasm of the Americans is unprecedented, and a large amount of money has been invested to achieve the reunion of the Olympic family, with a total of 10,788 athletes from 197 countries and regions participating in various competitions. The Americans also threatened: "This will be the most luxurious and greatest Olympics in history." ā
This Olympic Games has 17 days, and Liang Xiaolong naturally can't give the crew a 17-day vacation, but the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is imminent, and some lucky people who get tickets will definitely go to Atlanta, and those who are unlucky will definitely have to stay at home to watch the live broadcast, so in such an atmosphere, even if Liang Xiaolong forcibly leaves people, I'm afraid everyone doesn't have the heart to work hard, it's better to take a three-day vacation, and wait for everyone's enthusiasm to pass, and then re-enter the filming.
However, Liang Xiaolong is also very depressed, the Olympics is simply a box office killer, whoever is on the new film at this time is unlucky. "The Bride Is Not Me" premiered 25 million in three days, 36 million in the second week, 2100 in the third week, and 18 million in the fourth week, everyone thought that the fifth week could also get tens of millions of dollars at the box office, but now on Thursday, it is only 3.5 million US dollars. Moreover, the Olympics haven't started this week, and next week, the movie is basically out of action, so Carl can only make a helpless choice and prepare to be released for only five weeks, you must know that it was originally planned to be released for seven weeks.
In addition, Warner's "Evaporation Order" and Universal's "Fat Professor" have also been impacted, and the box office in the first four days of this week was only three or four million, and it is estimated that it will have to be drawn next week. Now, they all have the same mind as Carl, hoping that later CD releases and pay-per-demand broadcasts will make up for this loss. The only thing that makes these companies happy is that the overseas box office has not been affected much, "The Bride Is Not Me" won $110 million in the first three weeks of its release, and another $15 million in four days this week, maintaining a good momentum at the box office.
"Hallie, is it okay?" In the second half of the play, Liang Xiaolong maintains "100% Men" in style, but in terms of plot, it refers more to "I Know a Woman's Heart", so there are fewer scenes in the role of Erin, but the essence of the less is more of a test of Halle's acting skills. Halle said: "Captain, don't worry, I'm going to use this role to impact next year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actress." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "You shouted this slogan loudly enough, but it's a pity that the role of Erin is too few, otherwise with your acting skills, it is really possible to hit the Oscars." ā
Through Wadmei's careful makeup and a pair of black-framed glasses, no one in Black Pearl suddenly became ordinary and simple, which is also the effect that Liang Xiaolong needs: "The actors are in place, all departments are ready, and filming begins." ā
Erin walked into Nick's office with the papers: "Mr. Sun, this is the document you want." Nick was playing indoor golf and said without looking back, "Let it go." Erin put down the papers, just in time to see the advertising drawings that Nick made for Nike, stopped, frowned slightly, and thought, "Riding is cycling, why do you wear such heavy makeup?" But it's still progressive, at least it's not a three-point girl. ā
"Stop!" Liang Xiaolong shouted: "Although there is dubbing in this scene, the mental activity is more expressed through expressions, Bill, you can push the camera a little further and give Hallie a close-up." Bill made an OK gesture and began to adjust the shot, Liang Xiaolong said, "Hallie, the performance just now was great, do it again." ā
"Cycling is cycling, why do you wear so much makeup? But it's still progressive, at least it's not a three-point girl. Erin frowned and commented on Nick's drawings, and began to close her eyes, using her imagination with a look of intoxication: "When I ride alone on the mountain trail, ride to the top of the mountain, and look down on everything, all the worries disappear, and this is the real enjoyment." To be fresh, to be natural, to be free and casual, any decoration is superfluous. Then, slowly quit Nick's office.
The twin secretaries walked in and greeted, "Good morning, manager." Nick said, "Early, by the way, what does Erin do in our company?" The secretary said: "It seems that I was going to do copywriting before, but ......" Nick said: "But what?" The secretary hesitated: "It seems that because she is not very good-looking, she was not allowed to join the creative group." Nick said depressedly, "That bastard decided?" This is also too lacking in morality. The female secretary hesitated, just looking at Nick, and the answer was self-evident. Nick smiled, one to make up for his mistakes, and the other to talent: "Go tell Erin to report to the creative team tomorrow." ā
"It's a fantastic acting." Liang Xiaolong applauded: "Harley, although you only appear three times in the whole play, and each time the shot is no more than a minute, but every appearance is extraordinary in the ordinary, especially this scene, which really makes people understand what Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is." Believe me, after the release, many people will remember you as a great supporting character. Hallie said, "It's because it's an interesting and impressive role that I auditioned." Of course, Liang Xiaolong knows that with Hallie's current fame, it is unlikely to play the heroine, but it is not difficult to find some supporting roles with many scenes.
After filming a set of shots, the crew immediately changed to "Duoyi's company, this scene is Nick holding the creative artwork to discuss with Duoyi, Liang Xiaolong looked at Rachel carefully for a while, the release is refreshing and natural, less charming, but more shrewd and capable, very in line with Duoyi's independent and straightforward image: "Baby, you have the taste of a sharp sister." Rachel was puzzled: "What sharp sister?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "I'll help you make a picture at night, and you'll know how sharp Sister Sharp is." ā
Then entered the shooting, because it was necessary to maintain the style of "100% Men", and to refer to the delicate emotional route of "I Know a Woman's Heart", so the changes in this scene were relatively large. Nick spreads out the artwork and begins to listen to Doyi's inner thoughts, but the outspoken Doyi always has something to say, so Nick can only hear Doyi's thoughts about creativity, and there will be no mess in the heart of others.
Duo Yi picked up one of them and thought, "It's very insightful, but I feel that there is something wrong with the lines." Nick immediately said, "If you think it's a problem to pick first, I'll agree to the change." Duoyi said: "It just looks a little weird, of course, I'm not saying that he's bad, it's already very insightful." What do you think these women are thinking? Nick said, "Free, casual." Duoyi said: "Wow, it seems that you understand women very well." "Of course, I'm also a mother, and I understand what women are worried about, they have a lot of worries, so they are more eager to be free and casual," Nick said. ā
Duo Yi agreed: "That's right, she needs to relax, there is no man next to her, there is no intrigue to worry about......" chatting and chatting, because Nick could hear her heart, and gradually she had a good impression of Nick, a little flustered, and she was straightforward She didn't hide anything, she said whatever she wanted, and solemnly apologized: "Before I joined the company, I always heard that you were a boring bastard." Nick smiled bitterly, "Yes, I didn't expect you to be so direct." Duoyi said: "But now I find that you are the exact opposite of the image I have in my mind now. ā
Nick laughed, "Now that you've said it, I'll tell you what I've heard about you." Duoyi immediately said: "As you can imagine, I am the tigress of the advertising industry." Nick said, "Yes, tigress." Duoyi smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'm a tigress." Then he was about to leave, thinking, "But I'm not like that at all." ā
Nick, who could hear the woman's heart, immediately said: "But to be honest, I personally don't think you're such a person, you're just more straightforward." Duoyi said: "Thank you." Then, the two of them chatted again, and suddenly Duoyi felt that something was wrong with him, and said secretly: "Oh my God, what's going on?" I felt like I was flirting with him. Oh, the cake seller, I actually glanced at his lower part, hoping he didn't notice. Then, quickly turned around, Nick was amused, and moved the hand in his pocket again, Duoyi secretly made it worse, and quickly covered his eyes: "Damn, I took another look." ā
Nick laughed, "Are you alright?" Duoyi said: "It's okay, I just got my eyes in the sand." Then he fled.
At the end of the filming process, Rachel quietly walked to Liang Xiaolong's side and pinched his waist: "The lines you designed are really hooligan." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "It's a bit of a hooligan, but baby, your performance just now is amazing, you know at a glance that you are a stupid big sister who is outspoken." Rachel snorted, "That's Miss Ben's superb acting." In order to save his waist from being offended, Liang Xiaolong immediately sent a sycophant: "Of course, it is definitely a queen-level performance, and you have to stand aside when you come with a big mouth." With that, Liang Xiaolong hurriedly stepped forward, out of Rachel's control, and shouted, "Guys, rest for twenty minutes, and then continue with the rest of the shot." ā
PS: Twenty minutes, just right! System error, forgive me, guys!
