Chapter 277 Nomination Battle

The car accident not only scrapped Bond's beloved car, but also became the beginning of a series of accidents during the filming of this film, and on the third day after the car accident, when the crew was filming a car chase scene, another car accident occurred, and a stuntman was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital.

The filming of the next two days went smoothly, and when the car chase scene was almost filmed, another major accident happened again. Or on the last road section where the car accident occurred, the fierce car chase scene between "Aston Martin" and the villain car. At that time, two stuntmen collaborated to drive the car of the villain in the film and slammed into the large truck involved in the filming on the side, and then crashed into the parapet wall of the road by the lake. One of them, a Greek stuntman, suffered a badly broken skull and was immediately taken by helicopter to the church hospital in the suburban town of Willona, while the other was seriously injured.

At that time, director Martin Campbell and Lin Mingyang, who played Bond, were not present, because it was only the filming task of the second unit of the crew. There are two identical villain cars on the road, one of which is a prop car with a dummy model inside, and the other is the car with the two stuntmen in it, and the prop car hits the stunt car and causes a car accident.

Half a month after the film was launched, less than ten days after filming in Italy, 4 stuntmen had been seriously injured and hospitalized. In order to shoot a high-intensity parkour chase scene on the roof of the small town of Sienna, Italy, the crew had to replace all the tiles on the roof of the small town, and specially reinforced the roof to prevent the actors from stepping on the roof during the performance.

Also for safety reasons, the shot of Bond and Christina falling from a D3C plane was also filmed in a wind tunnel called a wind tunnel that simulates the feeling of a person falling freely from a height of feet without actually jumping out of the plane.

Perhaps it was the headache of safety that made director Martin Campbell a lot more cautious, and even the shooting style was conservative. In the script, the scale of Lin Mingyang and Jessica's rivalry is very large, but during the actual filming, there are many suggestive passages of the two ambiguous**, but the real naked-naked bed scene has been cut miserably. Fortunately, in the name of film art, Lin Mingyang justifiably took a lot of Jessica Bell's "cheapness", and the relationship between the two can be regarded as a further step.

The Phantom of Danger uses more peripherals than any previous 007 film, in six countries: the United Kingdom, Italy, Austria, Panama, Chile and Mexico. In Cologne, Panama, hesitating that the weather was too hot and humid, and the crew had more than enough drinking water per day

In order to shoot the explosion scene in the first part of the film, the special effects team of the film carried out more than 50 explosions in the famous 007 studio over the course of a week. And in order to achieve the desired shooting effect, the film was filmed with more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition for practice, testing and actual shooting, and in the words of director Martin Campbell, the ammunition they used up was equivalent to a skirmish war.

Here Lin Mingyang is fighting bloodily in the pursuit of "bullets and bullets", the United States on the other side of the ocean, a war without gunpowder is also brewing, although Hollywood's life is not easy under the economic crisis, but everyone is still looking forward to the upcoming 81st Oscars. Major film companies have also begun to compete openly and secretly for the nominated seats.

MGM shines in the 08 film market, 2 blockbusters with a box office of more than $1 billion, plus several small and medium-budget films have also made good gains, MGM stands out in the harsh environment of the outbreak of the American economic crisis, and has the momentum of the king of Zhongshan. Unfortunately, the success in the commercial film market could not hide MGM's shortcomings in art film shooting.

Because Lin Mingyang has starred in many films one after another, the work of screenwriter and director has been put aside for the time being. After James Cameron's "Avatar" was shocked by the amazing special effects technology, Lin Mingyang began to plan the filming of the film version of "Warcraft", and he was fascinated by the use of technology, and it was difficult for him to make a move in the field of traditional art films in a short period of time.

Ex is worried about this, MGM has monopolized the Oscars for nearly ten years in history, and after the monopoly is broken, the films produced every year will be more or less nominated and awarded. Since it is already in the commercial film market, Ex originally did not expect MGM Pictures to have any outstanding performance at the Oscars. But in the end, if you don't even have a nomination, you will inevitably be laughed at by your peers.

To put it bluntly, this is a matter of face, and Ex has reported all the films in his hand that are eligible to participate in the selection, so that he will be satisfied with the mud and sand, and he will not seek to win awards, and he will be satisfied with a nomination.

The more he worries about this, the more people want to block him at this time, and when he learned that under the "good" operation of Warner, Lin Mingyang, who played the role of the clown in "The Dark Knight", was only included in the Best Supporting Actor, the anger he suppressed in his heart finally exploded.

Ex called the phone directly to Warner President Steve, as soon as the other party answered the phone, he slashed the other party's face, and Steve, who knew that he was wrong, only listened resignedly, until Ex scolded enough, he explained very politely.

"We included Mr. in the supporting actor nomination to avoid the fierce competition for the Best Actor nomination, so that the chance of winning the award will be better..."

"Five years ago, I and I would have thanked you for that arrangement, but now it represents the image of the entire MGM company, and we can accept a nomination for Best Actor that has failed, but we will never accept a Best Supporting Actor award... I can say without exaggeration that the performance in "The Dark Knight" is quite outstanding, his fully mature acting skills and unique personal style have fully shown the heart of the character of the Joker, the shine of this crazy character completely overshadows the number one protagonist Batman, the influence of the film to win such a high box office has played a very important role in the influence of fans, Warner's approach makes us deeply regretful, which will seriously damage the possibility of further cooperation between our two companies in the future"

Perhaps thinking that such a statement was just innocuous to Steve, Ex then added emphatically: "From what I know, if you put his role in the list of Best Supporting Actor, I can't guarantee that he will do anything out of the ordinary at the awards ceremony, and he will be able to hold it up, but you may not be able to bear it." ”

From taking a stand to threatening to cooperate, Ekes' attitude finally made Steve realize the seriousness of the matter. can sit in the position of Warner's president, Steve naturally understands the stakes, MGM has risen strongly in the hands of Lin Mingyang, first Hugh Hefner "upside down" the entire "Playboy" group, and then media tycoon Lei Shidong spared no expense to tie the entire Viacom Group and MGM together, these two are old foxes who have been in the shopping mall for a long time, and their eyes have always been vicious, and they will definitely not bet heavily on Lin Mingyang for no reason.

No one can say where Hollywood's future industrial landscape will go, but MGM Pictures is about to enter a new golden age, and this is basically a consensus in the industry. Until there is no major change in the pattern of monopolistic competition, this state of healthy competition and cooperation among major Hollywood film companies will continue.

Lin Mingyang first rose to prominence in Disney's TV movies, and MGM's current president was once a Disney executive, so there is a natural basis for cooperation between the two sides. Although MGM acquired DreamWorks' animation division in an attempt to take a slice of Disney's share of the animated market, the two sides are only competitors and will not be enemies to the death.

And Universal, 20th Century Fox, Sony, these film companies, have also cooperated with Lin Mingyang to varying degrees, Warner has been a faint threat to other film companies in recent years because of its strength, if it tears its face with MGM in this kind of trivial matter, and several other film companies join forces, Warner will fall into an isolated and helpless situation.

Such a result is certainly not what Stephen wants to see, and he immediately agreed to Ex's request to revise the entry list, and Lin Mingyang's name was finally put into the competition for best actor.

When the Oscar organizing committee finally announced the list of nominees, Lin Mingyang's name unsurprisingly occupied a seat in the five nominations for Best Actor, along with Charlie Jenkins, the star of "Uninvited Guest", Sean Penn of "Mick", Brad Pitt of "Rejuvenation" and Mickey Rock in "Wrestler".

"No matter how great the other nominees are, the subversive Lin's performance in The Dark Knight can really be described as superb, no matter how strong the opponent is, he can always be better. I think everyone who has watched The Dark Knight will feel the same way I do."

When answering reporters' questions, Sid Gannis, chairman of the Oscar organizing committee, gave Lin Mingyang a very high evaluation when answering reporters' questions about the nomination list, and did not forget to joke about humor at the end: "I know that a news misunderstanding about it some time ago turned the whole Hollywood upside down, but this time I can tell you very responsibly that his name appeared on the nomination list announced this time, and we are absolutely not mistaken"
