The male and female protagonists of "Teddy Bear" were designated by Shao Shuaijun, and the rest of the characters were cast to Yan Louis. Lenard singled.

The voice of the teddy bear will be voiced by Louis. Renard personally served as Giovanni. Rabisi plays the neurotic Donnie who has been trying to rob the teddy bear to his son, Laura. Vandervoort plays the heroine's best friend Tanya, Joel. Makhal plays the role of Rex, the boss of the entangled heroine, Ettin. Minks plays Robert, Donnie's son.

In addition to these main characters, as well as some supporting roles, "Teddy Bear" also invited three stars who perform their own duties, Sam Teddy. Jones, Nora. Jones and Tom. Skierry, they will all play themselves, and they have entered the life of the hero and heroine because of the teddy bear.

Among the staff, there are a total of four assistant directors, the first assistant director is Inst, who is the assistant director of "Inception" and works well with Shao Shuaijun. The second assistant director is Gao Zhisheng, Shao Shuaijun's old subordinate. The other two assistant directors are both full-time assistant directors of Summit Entertainment, who are responsible for the specific preparation of the crew.

The photographers are Huang Yuetai and Lu Le, and after previous collaborations with Shao Shuaijun, the two have gradually mixed up in Hollywood. Some other prop masters, lighting engineers, and recording engineers are basically contracted personnel of Dream Chaser Golden Harvest and Summit Entertainment who have cooperated. Shao Shuaijun likes familiar staff, because he knows each other's temperament, which makes it more convenient to arouse.

Looking at the crowd, Shao Shuaijun cleared his throat and said, "I'm glad that we can get together again and make a movie happily." Most of you have worked with me and know my shooting habits. What you need to pay attention to, what you need to care about, what you have to follow, and what you don't need to be nervous about, you are responsible for telling your new colleagues. We strive to enter the shooting state faster, complete the production of the film as soon as possible, release it early, and get red envelopes as soon as possible. As you all know, I have always been a generous person, and as long as I am happy, there will never be a shortage of red envelopes. ”

The crowd applauded enthusiastically. A few familiar old fritters also slapped Shao Shuaijun's ass with their throats. What "the boss is wise", "the director is awesome".

Shao Shuaijun pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "My plan for this movie is scheduled to be released in May, so we have to finish filming before March." It's only two months away. The normal scene is not very difficult. But the teddy bear needs to use motion capture technology, and you have to cooperate well. In a few days, Avatar's CG special effects team, Vita, will move into the crew of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I'll arrange for them to come over and talk to you about what to look out for in motion capture. Especially Joseph, you have a lot of interaction with the teddy bear, basically you will perform in the air and give me a quick entry into the state, can you do it? ”

Joseph nodded: "Of course, after I received the script, I was doing this kind of exercise. ”

Joseph is Shao Shuaijun's favorite young actor in Hollywood, diligent and studious, with a good appearance, and a very good person, which is worth cultivating. Nolan can train Christian. A superstar like Bale, he Shao Shuaijun also wants to cultivate some Hollywood superstars.

Scarlett. Johnson is the one he is ready to support, and the role of "Black Widow" of Marvel's superheroes in the future is created for her. Joseph is also one of Shao Shuaijun's favorites, "Ant-Man", a superhero movie, Shao Shuaijun plans to wait for Joseph to hone for a few years as his superhero role.

In addition to these two, Shao Shuaijun's first Hollywood collaboration with Jack. Gyllen Hill is also the object of Shao Shuaijun's support, the superhero movie "Thor" is already waiting for him, and the actor of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" chose Gyllen Hill.

Great director Christopher. Nolan has his Nolan legion, Christian. Bell, Cillian. Murphy, Michael. Kane and Marion. Goliath. Shao Shuaijun also has his own Shaw Brothers legion, two popular young students with unlimited potential, and a future Hollywood queen.

The mobilization meeting ended with Shao Shuaijun's arrangement and the response of the cast and crew.

As soon as it was over, Shao Shuaijun called the entire director team together: "This time I will open two movies twice, I definitely don't have much energy to maintain the stable operation of both crews, so your director team must come forward." Inst, you are the first assistant director, and when I am not there, the crew will be in charge of you, and you will be in charge of the microphone for those simple storyboards. ”

Inst replied: "Shao, don't worry, although I am not as talented as you, I can still deal with some simple shooting scenes." Teddy Bear is an R comedy, so you don't have to worry about us not getting enough attention to detail, you can put most of your energy into Rise of the Planet of the Apes. ”

"With your words, I'm relieved." Shao Shuaijun patted Inst's shoulder gratefully. After explaining some precautions, the meeting of the director team was also dispersed, and Shao Shuaijun was going to the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to assign tasks.

Gao Zhisheng sent Shao Shuaijun out, and before getting into the car, Shao Shuaijun instructed Gao Zhisheng: "Xiao Gao, this time I came to the United States to make a movie and learn more." You have also sat behind me as an assistant director for a few years, and you have also filmed a few TV series in the mainland, especially the Chinese version of "The Big Bang Theory", which has been very good, and you are now able to take charge of a film on your own. In the crew, I have to share more of Inst's work, I have a good script, called "Warm Corpse", do a good job, I ask you to direct it alone! ”

"Thank you, boss, I will definitely work hard!" Gao Zhisheng couldn't help patting his chest with joy and promised.

"Yes."

Gao Zhisheng is a top student of USC, and he has also honed for several years, whether it is "33 Days of Broken Love" or "Old Boy", as well as working as a director's assistant in "Inception", he has a good performance, and it is too condescending not to shoot movies. He is different from Wang Yixue, Wang Yixue is the kind of director who is born specifically for TV dramas, Gao Zhisheng, like Li Fangfang, is a director of the film genre.

Being able to bring out a big director with his own hands, this kind of achievement is no worse than making a classic movie, Shao Shuaijun is still looking forward to Gao Zhisheng.

The bodyguard opened the car door, and Shao Shuaijun got into it with his head low and drove towards the suburbs of San Francisco.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is filmed in the small town of Patel in San Francisco, and from the town to the north, is Melbourne Redwood Park. The film's scene of chimpanzees gathering in the forest will be filmed in this Melbourne Redwood Park, where you can see the city of San Francisco and the most visible of all, the Golden Gate Bridge.

When I arrived at the crew in Patel Town, it was already evening time, and the crew had already gone back. However, for the director team, the eight-hour work system is not applicable, and Shao Shuaijun made a phone call, and in a very short time, he came to No. 24 Shuwen Street, Shao Shuaijun's temporary residence.

The members of the director team are Paul, Alves and Lisa, Paul and Alves are the assistant directors of "Inception", and Lisa is the assistant director of "Twilight: New Moon", and they are all acquaintances. There are also two CG directors, Weta Digital's technicians, Loyle and Carlos, who are responsible for assisting Shao Shuaijun in directing all CG parts.

Weta Digital's CG team has not yet arrived, and it is currently Shao Shuaijun and three assistant directors, as well as two assistant directors who have just graduated from USC.

"Hey guys, how is the crew arranged?" Shao Shuaijun motioned to the two assistant directors to make coffee for everyone, and then asked.

"The crew has already started rehearsals, Jack. Gyllen Hill has been nervously talking to Andy Hill for the past two days. Serkis plays against Andy. Serkis worked harder, and in addition to playing against Gyllenhill, he also went to the zoo every day to watch chimpanzees. Paul laughs.

The cast of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the actor Will, will be played by Jack. Gyllen Hill starring, Jack. Gyllen Hill has good acting skills, and he was nominated for an Oscar in "Brokeback Mountain", but "The Night Watchman" made him lose a lot of limelight, and it wasn't until "Inception" that he made a slight turnaround. His salary is the highest, 10 million dollars.

The heroine Caroline will be played by Freida. Pinto starred, Freida is the heroine of this year's Oskai hit "Slumdog Millionaire", Shao Shuaijun and Freida were also acquaintances when he was producing in India. The reason why Freida was invited this time was also to make Freida an Indian superstar, as a big killer to pursue his dream in South Asia and gain a foothold in India.

Indians are not friendly to Chinese, although there are several excellent films in South Asia, but it is not smooth to further expand the scale, relying on the promotion of Indian stars to open the door, is the best way. Freida is one of the Indian superstars in the project.

And the gorilla is played by Andy. Serkis, mentioning Andy's name, many people may have heard of him, but when he walks in front of anyone, it is estimated that no one else will know him. He has performed in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and starred in "King Kong", but unfortunately they are all performed with motion capture technology and expression capture technology.

He is one of the earliest actors in the motion capture industry, and the Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and the jerking off in "King Kong" are all shown by him through his movements and expressions.

Sony's latest facial expression technology is born out of motion capture technology, which can show the expressions of non-human characters in more subtle ways. This technology is used for the first time in "Avatar", and this time "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is to rely on this technology to perfectly display the gorilla Caesar.

Unlike King Kong's violence, Caesar the gorilla is a guy with great intelligence and a future leader of the ape revolution, and it is not easy to play Caesar well. In fact, as early as when Shao Shuaijun had not decided to shoot "Old Boy", the script was given to Andy. Serkis, Andy also pondered for a long time silently about this.

Basically, the above three are the protagonists, and the other actors are all supporting roles with very few scenes, so there is no need to repeat them one by one. It can be said that there are not many shoots in normal scenes, and there are not many special effects in this movie, and special effects still account for most of the part. In particular, the extremely large number of apes involved in the movie will be created by CG special effects, and will not involve a real ape.

After the director team finished the meeting, it was already midnight.

Shao Shuaijun didn't delay any longer and let everyone go back to rest. He also fell asleep after calling back to China and chatting with Li Xiuxiu for a while.

Tomorrow, it's time for the real hard shooting! (To be continued......)
