In Jonathan Mosto's office, Lin Mingyang finished his entire idea in one breath, and Jonathan Mosto is still reminiscing about the theme of this film, compared to the original script that "fate is already doomed, don't stop fighting", Lin Mingyang's "mission to change fate" mentioned in his revised plot is more like a kind of inheritance and development of the first two plots.

It can be seen that Lin Mingyang's revision is not a moment of excitement, he came up with such a revision after careful conception, ingenious layout, and careful consideration. The entire plot basically retains the original context, but the beginning and end are reset, which gives a better reason for filming "Terminator 3", and also provides a better start for filming "Terminator 4" from a different angle in the future.

There is no need to change the actors, there is no need to redesign the action scenes, Lin Mingyang made full use of the materials in the original script, and came up with such a modification plan that Jonathan Mosto could not find any reason to refuse. In addition to being impressed by Lin Mingyang's genius screenwriting ability, he is also glad for his decision just now, if Jonathan Mosto didn't have enough patience to listen to Lin Mingyang's explanation, then he would have passed by this wonderful idea.

"I admit that according to your revised ideas, not only can the overall theme of this film be taken to a higher level, but the plot is more reasonable, and the audience will definitely like this arrangement. Unfortunately, the decision to revise the script is not in my hands, the key is the attitude of the producer, and if you want to convince Warner, the two of us are not enough. In such an investment-led blockbuster film, director Jonathan Mosto's position is also a bit awkward, and many things he says and don't count, and he has to be discussed at a high-level meeting of Warners before he can make a decision.

"So what are we going to do?" Being reminded by him like this, Lin Mingyang realized that it was not a very wise decision to come to Jonathan Mosto recklessly.

"I'll take you to meet someone, convince him, and we're halfway there!"

――――

Jonathan Mosto, who took Lin Mingyang to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was busy running for governor of California. From Warner's sky-high salary of $30 million, Arnold Schwarzenegger's status in this film can be seen. As long as Lin Mingyang's script revision can be approved by him, then Warner's top management will have to weigh more when making a decision.

The crew originally chose to shoot in Canada, but in order to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger's political needs, the filming location finally returned to Uncle Arnold's box office - Los Angeles, California. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has faded out of Hollywood entertainment and concentrated on politics in recent years, has great expectations for this gubernatorial race. Although Jonathan Mosto revealed his identity as a director, he was stopped by the staff. Arnold and his campaign were in a meeting, and Mr. Lin and Jonathan Mosto arrived at a bad time, having to wait an extra half hour outside the door to meet each other.

Although he has starred in many movies, the most classic screen image created by Arnold Schwarzenegger is still the T-series robot with sunglasses and a cold expression in the "Terminator" series. From a bodybuilder, to a top Hollywood movie star, to a strong candidate for governor of California. As the only actor among Hollywood's mainstream movie stars to become a monk halfway, Arnold Schwarzenegger's indomitable and indomitable will runs through his struggles in various periods.

Arnold does not have the advantage of rebirth like Lin Mingyang, and the achievements he has achieved today are completely dependent on his own efforts, step by step. For such an actor, Lin Mingyang admires it from the bottom of his heart. So much so that when he saw Arnold himself, he forgot to take the initiative to shake hands with the other party because of excitement, and in the end, it was Arnold "Governor" who took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Mingyang in order to show his bearing, which resolved the embarrassment caused by the two sides as soon as they met.

Lin Mingyang secretly complained in his heart that he still couldn't maintain enough calm in front of the big guys, but Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't take this matter to heart, he thought it was just a mistake that a young man could easily make. What's more, whether it is Lin Mingyang's current reputation or the potential he has shown, it is worth Arnold to look at him differently.

Although this meeting was arranged, Arnold Schwarzenegger did not have much time left for them, and Jonathan Mostow gave him a general overview of Lin Mingyang's ideas for script revision, and the novel ideas and clever plot successfully attracted Arnold Schwarzenegger's attention.

"This will be the last time I play Terminator!" After the news of Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to "Terminator 3" was confirmed, the news that he would continue to appear in "Terminator 4" has been hyped by the media, and for publicity purposes, Warner did not come forward to explain, so this is the clearest answer Lin Mingyang has heard about this question.

Arnold Schwarzenegger pointed to his chest and said calmly: "The symptoms of aortic regurgitation in my body are becoming more and more obvious, and this performance is already a big challenge for my physical fitness, so this film will be my last farewell to the audience." I've been saying in the movies that I'll be back, but this time I'm definitely not coming back! ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now more than ever, I need everyone's support, so I also hope that this film can reinvent the classics." The expression on Arnold Schwarzenegger's face was sincere when he said this, and there was even a hint of sincerity in his tone. For the revision of the plot, I will firmly stand on your side and am willing to provide any possible help! ”

"Your attitude is enough!" Jonathan Mosto nodded in satisfaction, with the heavyweight star's commitment, it would be much easier to convince Warner's top brass next.

――――

The revision of the script was made from Lin Mingyang's proposal, to the starring Arnold Schwarzenegger's statement, and finally the director Jonathan Mosto's application, the whole process was less than a short day, which left Warner unprepared and could only take the matter to the high-level meeting for discussion. The attitude towards this matter within the company has formed two distinct factions.

The reason for the opponents is that the film is about to start shooting, all the preparations of the crew are based on the previous script, a lot of budget has been invested, and now the script has been changed, and the producer has already lost a lot of money before the shooting has started.

Supporters believe that Lin Mingyang's revisions have not completely wasted the money that the crew has already invested, and many places only need to make some adjustments to fully adapt to the shooting requirements of the new script. And in terms of plot, Lin Mingyang's modified version has more original surnames and subsequent extended surnames, which is much better than the previous version.

What really moved Warner's top management in the revision plan was the follow-up extension of Lin Mingyang's script. With the preparation of "Terminator 3", the possibility of filming "Terminator 4" is getting bigger and bigger. Although the outside world has been at the stage of speculation on this matter, within the company, everyone knows that as long as the box office results of "Terminator 3" can satisfy investors, then Warner will of course happily hold on to this cash cow and make a few more money.

Restarting the filming of the "Terminator" series, Warner has set its sights on the future, "Terminator 3" is not the end, but just a beginning, so in the plot of this film, they have tried their best to "resurrect" the destroyed Skynet plan, so that the fate of mankind that has changed will once again accept the "Last Judgment", the war between humans and robots is not over, and there is still a lot of room to create follow-up plots, so the appearance of "Terminator 4" is logical.

Lin Mingyang's all modifications are based on an accurate grasp of the intentions of Warner's top management, with the advantage of rebirth, he knows that the plot of "Terminator 4" does take place in the future, but Warner's reasons in "Terminator 3" are very far-fetched, and the audience does not buy it, which indirectly leads to the failure of "Terminator 4" at the box office.

Warner's executives wanted to make the film's plot exciting and attract more box office; I also want to leave suspense for the film and prepare for the next sequel. The script that Warner came up with at the beginning is obviously a combination of these two goals, but for the latter goal, the quality of the plot is greatly weakened.

Lin Mingyang's revision, on the basis of improving the content of the plot, took into account Warner's needs for sequel shooting. John Connor's return to the future from the crater is another great story. Such an ending is more interesting to the audience than in the original script, when the final judgment comes, and John Connor is forced to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving humanity.

Voices of agreement quickly dominated within Warner, and the board voted to approve the changes.

――――

When he learned the news, Lin Mingyang was in the crew and asked the film's special effects supervisor Stan Winston some questions about the special effects production in the film. He's just been hooked on this stuff lately, and it just so happens that Stan Yunston, who comes from ILM, is an expert in this area, so the two of them have a lot of topics to talk about.

Stan Winston aimed at the next Oscars for the special effects of "Terminator 3", and although the digital style of "The Matrix" competed with it, Stan Winston believes that the sense of power given by the heavy machinery to the film is beyond the reach of the savior in the black coat of "The Matrix".

"The production of Terminator 3 is a breakthrough in terms of animation technology and machine theory that we have mastered so far, and Terminator 2 has become a watershed moment in the comprehensive use of character special effects, robot special effects, live action and computer graphics. So Terminator 3 had to surpass it in every way. At the very least, we had to make something new that people hadn't seen before. ”

"I guess this must have something to do with the new version of the villain robot T-X, the liquid metal construction of the T-1000 in the previous episode was just stupid!" Talking about the last "Terminator", Lin Mingyang's deepest memory is the use of computer special effects.

"At the end of this film, you'll see a brand new Arnaud that you've never seen before. The same is true for the T-X, who is by no means a replica of the T-1000, and we have created a character with a sense of surname but a character that makes Arnold unbearable. I'm sure you'll love the T-X when you shoot it. ”

Lin Mingyang has just seen the makeup photos of Christina Rogan, who plays T-X in the film, this model-turned-beauty is wearing a red leather suit that highlights the devil's figure, a pair of stiletto heels that can't match the machine, blonde hair neatly coiled behind her head, and her eyes are cold and ruthless.

"I don't think the real-life Christina Rogan doesn't seem to have the strength to fight hand-to-hand with Mr. Arnold, a world-class action star."

"So we're making virtual doubles for T-X and Arnold, which is really interesting. The creation of virtual avatars is mainly due to safety considerations, as well as the need for film-shooting skills. At the same time, we also created a large number of computer models of liquid metal, turning the skin of the T-X into liquid metal, and you will find many unexpected details in it. We also combined some robot dolls with digital models for filming. It's going to be an innovation! ”

With that said, Stan Yunston led Lin Mingyang into their studio, and then showed Lin Mingyang a set of shots they were compositing. In the original footage, Christina Rogan, who plays T-X, is wielding a blue mannequin with handles.

"Your work has already begun?" Seeing Christina Rogan appear in the picture, Lin Mingyang was surprised, because the film has not officially started filming.

"Luckily, you kept this section when you revised the script, so our efforts were not in vain!" Stan Winston smiled and hit the enter key on his computer keyboard, and the footage transitioned to the shot that had already been made.

Lin Mingyang remembered the episode, in which T-X, played by Christina Rogen, was about to smash Arnold's head through the wall of the semi-enclosed bathroom. Stan Yunston and his friends replaced the blue model from the original footage with a computer-generated digital model of Arnold, and then created a stunning robot fight scene.

"It's amazing!" He exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.

"There will be a lot of such scenes in the movie, you have to be mentally prepared!" Stan Yunston kindly reminded.

"Why?" Lin Mingyang felt very strange about his words, he was not acting as a robot, and there was no reason why they would help him make an electronic double in the computer.

"The process of filming is a lot more complicated than you think for the sake of computer synthesis, let's say someone is flying through the house and you have to avoid them, but in fact, there is no one flying in the house! You'll have to pretend to walk around the room and make movements until the virtual computer model hits a corner, which takes longer than you think, so you need to be patient. ”

In the play, Arnold still acts as Lin Mingyang's bodyguard, although Lin Mingyang does not have to fight with T-X in person, but many scenes of T-X and T-850 life and death struggles will still involve his performance, so Stan Winston will say so.

"Actually, your performance is not the hardest, our two robots will work even harder. It's hard to imagine two robots, one weighing 2,000 pounds and the other weighing 1,000 pounds. Every action they make, every object they touch, will shatter in an instant. Therefore, every action must be planned in advance, and watching the fight scene between two robots like this will be a very special experience. ”
