Chapter Ninety-One: The Last Character

Binny couldn't help but be stunned, the kiss scene is nothing, most Hollywood films have kiss scenes, but what about the bed scenes? Binny doesn't think he has the spirit to dedicate himself to the film: "Director, is it a real shot, or is it?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Of course it's for show, we don't shoot AV." Benny breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine." Seeing off Binny, Liang Xiaolong smiled lightly: "The first one was admitted, and I believe that today's recruitment will be very smooth." ”

However, there are too many actors to recruit, and even if the process is smooth, it will not be completed in a day or two. In the process of intense preparation, Carl also brought good news to Liang Xiaolong: "Don't look at Hollywood so big, it is not easy to find an excellent photographer at an inappropriate time. Pope, I'm sure you'll have a great time working together. ”

"Man, you've got me a great photographer." Liang Xiaolong basically doesn't know Hollywood photographers, but after a year in Hollywood, he knows some famous photographers, and Bill is one of them. Even, Liang Xiaolong still remembers the films he was the photographer in his previous life, such as "Spider-Man", "The Matrix", etc., and "Treason Writer", which he served as a photographer in 91, was also highly praised. Carl smiled, "The other person is in my office now, you can come here." ”

Bill, with short hair and a Chinese face, looks very energetic and strong, ensuring that he can be stably filmed for a long time: "Hello Bill, it's a pleasure to work with you." Bill laughed: "It's also my honor, and I believe that "100% Man" will allow me to go further in the industry." "If Liang Xiaolong's directing level is taken as the benchmark, Bill will never join the crew, he sees the potential of "100% Man", not to mention the quality of the script, just say that the current publicity offensive is already destined to get a lot of attention to the film, and as a cinematographer for such a work, it is indeed easy to get a higher basis in the industry, which is conducive to future development.

Liang Xiaolong and Bill talked a lot, mostly about the script, discussing various aspects with various shots to achieve the best shooting effect, until Bill was sent away, Carl said: "I didn't find the wrong person for you, right?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Of course, with Bill's level, it is easy to serve as the cameraman, editor and set designer of the crew?" They all have to go with the crew, don't delay me. Karl said, "Don't worry, I won't delay your shooting." Also, your script needs to be revised. ”

Liang Xiaolong's eyes immediately widened: "Change the script?" Did I hear me right? Karl said: "That's right, modify a small link." Liang Xiaolong said: "Man, don't be kidding, my script will not be revised, let alone deleted and changed indiscriminately because of other people's opinions." Carl laughed, "Man, listen to me, you should know about product placement, right?" ”

Liang Xiaolong rolled his eyes, in the film industry, who doesn't know about product placement, in the previous life Feng Xiaogang filmed "Tangshan Earthquake", the income of product placement advertising exceeded 100 million yuan, of course, it also caused a lot of scolding, especially which link to change the battery of the phone makes people vomit blood, whose phone can't be used without a battery? Liang Xiaolong will never change his script indiscriminately because of the money he earns from product placement, let alone affect the quality of the film, so he has not considered these all along, otherwise "Police and Thieves" and "Black Fist" can make him a lot of advertising costs.

Carl added: "Don't worry, I know what is important, and this time accepting product placement will not have any impact on the quality of the film, and even make the audience feel more real." "Liang Xiaolong is surprised, there is also a saying that product placement improves the quality of the film? Carl laughs: "Isn't there an advertising agency in the script, and this advertising agency also designs advertisements for a clothing company?" Liang Xiaolong suddenly realized, indeed, according to his original idea, he used two fictitious companies, and now he uses a company that exists in reality, which is undoubtedly more realistic: "Tell me which companies are there and how much sponsorship money is provided?" ”

Carl said: "Hengmei Advertising Company provides 3 million sponsorship fees, and the box office of the film will increase by 500,000 if it exceeds 200 million, and 1 million if it exceeds 300 million, and so on; The other is Nike, a major global brand, is willing to provide a sponsorship fee of $8 million, and the box office of the film will increase by one million if it exceeds 200 million, and 2 million if it exceeds 300 million, and so on. Liang Xiaolong agreed: "This is not bad, tens of millions of dollars, and the salaries of the actors and actresses have helped solve it." ”

Carl added: "There is also an event you need to attend in the near future, and the premiere of "The Bride Is Not Me" is about to be held, and you must not be absent." Liang Xiaolong gave him a blank look: "Isn't this nonsense?" I wrote the script myself, can I still watch the film when it comes out? Karl said: "Who knows, you have no sense of responsibility at all." Liang Xiaolong said angrily: "You have no sense of responsibility, I heard that you have harmed a lot of girls recently, and I haven't seen you in charge." Karl snorted, "That's what you want, not a non-single man like you can understand." ”

"Can you say that? You're shameless enough. Liang Xiaolong glanced at him and asked again, "Is there a response from the Guoshu Realm?" When will the Kung Fu martial arts gym open? Carl smiled helplessly: "The more involved, the more trouble, we expect twenty large martial arts halls, but the national art world is too slow, in order to compete for these resources, we are now preparing for the martial arts competition, who wins, it is estimated that it will be officially listed in September." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly, in September and October, there was indeed enough ink, but there was no way: "There are more monks and less porridge, if you want to fight, let them fight, but when the martial arts hall is officially listed, you must give me a place in terms of publicity." ”

Carl said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, invite more big-name stars to come over to help, be responsible for the live broadcast on the buy through ABC TV, and then use the repercussions caused by "Police and Thieves" and "Black Fist", it is difficult to think about it." Liang Xiaolong said: "Since it is going to be live, the national art world will definitely launch a performance program, have you contacted this aspect?" Karl said: "It has been arranged a long time ago, the planners sent by our side have already arrived in China, and when the time comes, the elites of the United Nations art community will hold a grand performance, which will definitely give everyone a big surprise." ”

Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but be curious: "What programs have you all prepared?" Carl smiled: "It's all the work of the staff, so it's confidential." Liang Xiaolong said angrily: ", I'm the boss, and I keep it a secret from the boss?" Karl said, "Who made you an irresponsible boss?" Anyway, you don't want to get any news from me. Liang Xiaolong can only give up, but there are also some worries, in the previous life, the Shaolin Temple formed a Shaolin majestic show to tour the world, and achieved a good response in Asian countries, but it did not cause much repercussions in Western countries.

The reason is very simple, the cultural differences are too great, the connotation of the program is too deep, and people in European and American countries don't understand what Zen martial arts are.

6.10, the box office of "Black Fist" in the new week came out again, only 19 million, but there can be a box office of 19 million in the fourth week of release, which is enough to prove that this is a big hit, and the total local box office has also accumulated to 128 million US dollars. The overseas box office was slightly better, at $23 million, with a total overseas box office of 87 million and a global total of $215 million.

Among them, Wu Jing is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, "Black Fist" is a box office hit, as the absolute protagonist, his image of a silly boy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Fox even tailored a script for a kung fu film for him, and the salary has also increased from the original $3 million to $8 million, standing at the top of the Chinese. In this regard, Liang Xiaolong is very pleased, Wu Jing was single-handedly held by him, and now he has finally gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, maybe one or two more films will be released, and Wu Jing's worth may be comparable to that of Hollywood first-line movie stars.

However, Liang Xiaolong is also worried now, the crew has been recruiting people smoothly, and all roles have been selected, but one of the roles that he thinks is so simple that he can't find a candidate until now, not because no one applied for this role, but came to apply, and the performance is not the kind of feeling he wants.

This character is the inconspicuous company clerk Irene, a very ordinary person, and it stands to reason that this is a very easy role to play. doesn't know what's going on, Liang Xiaolong always has a special feeling for this role, but he himself doesn't know what kind of feeling it is, so he keeps killing the actors who come to apply, just to find an actor who can give him that feeling. Only by understanding that feeling can the image of Erin's character become fuller in the process of directing.
