Chapter 74: Old Friends, New Partners
Christina is a very "wild" actor who is very open when she acts, and she herself likes this role very much, walking around with a gun all day long on the set. Director Jonathan Mostow felt that she fit his own criteria as a "surname awe, beautiful, calm and lethal actress", so he always admired her. Lin Mingyang's generosity towards Christina's stupid move made him breathe a sigh of relief, because he really didn't want to change actors at this critical time.
After this "accident", the relationship between Lin Mingyang and Christina was completely reversed. In the past, Christina hated him to death, and Lin Mingyang couldn't hide. Now it is Lin Mingyang who respects this "dangerous" woman, and Christina feels a little guilty every time she sees him, and hides away as soon as she finishes filming. used to be a debtor, but now he has turned into a creditor, which gives people a different feeling.
Lin Mingyang and Kate Beckinsale cooperate more and more tacitly in the play, but the relationship between the two has not developed further since the last time, which makes Lin Mingyang feel a little regretful.
During this time, the crew filmed a chase scene at the flyover on Sixth Avenue. Fire trucks, police cars, and a truck without a cab door took part in the filming. Arnold's stunt double sits on a police motorcycle. To dodge the motorcycle, the fire truck and the police car rushed in one direction, while the truck flew up and crashed in the other direction. The shot was shot from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Spectacular chase scenes have always been a Hollywood favorite, and the Terminator series takes that visual art to the extreme. How many people have been fascinated by Arnold Schwarzenegger's combination with motorcycles? This figure is believed to be no less than the box office of the film.
Tough, readable, adventurous and wild, all the qualities of a motorcyclist are evident in Arnold Schwarzenegger. The crew used 8 motorcycles for the filming of [***], all of which were provided by the Indian motorcycle company, and each one was carefully built to the standards of police motorcycles.
Lin Mingyang also had a car addiction this time, originally out of safety considerations, the crew did not plan to let Lin Mingyang go into battle in person, not to mention that Kate Beckinsale was carrying Kate Beckinsale in the back seat, and if he didn't get it, it would be two lives in one car, and director Jonathan Mostow refused to agree to anything at first. But in the end, he still didn't suffer his "dead grinding", and after watching Lin Mingyang's skillful driving skills on the practice field, Jonathan Mosto finally reluctantly agreed to let Lin Mingyang give it a try.
Although she insisted on not using a stand-in like Lin Mingyang, Kate Beckinsale was still a little apprehensive when she sat on the speeding motorcycle, her body was tightly attached to Lin Mingyang's back, and her knuckles were a little white because of nervousness. Being hugged by this temperamental beauty from behind, Lin Mingyang's male hormones in his body were stimulated a lot, and he became more and more bold in driving a motorcycle. The photographer was sweating in front of him, and Jonathan Mostow watched in horror.
Although the last shot was perfect, Jonathan Mostow vowed never to let Lin Mingyang touch any wheeled props in this film again, this guy is simply crazy in his eyes, for the sake of his own heart, Jonathan Mostow wants to live a few more years.
What really gives Jonathan Mosto a headache is not Lin Mingyang's "madness", although Warner has spent 170 million yuan on the film, but the countless destruction scenes in the film still make him often run a deficit. Because of the funds, a key scene in the film where a heavy crane crashes into the glass curtain wall was forced to be abandoned, but this scene is the most beloved of the lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Regardless of the publisher's motivations, Terminator 3 is a continuation of the classic series after all, and Arnold Schwarzenegger hopes that he can leave as good a masterpiece as possible at his last chance. He paid for this scene without hesitation, and as a dedicated actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger's approach made Lin Mingyang deeply admired.
In the final shot, Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-850 sacrifices himself and T-X to die together, and John Connor and his girlfriend Kate rush to the crater before the temporal rift closes, where the two will stage a moving parting.
It is undeniable that when Lin Mingyang wrote this plot, he did have the evil idea of wanting to possess Kate Beckinsale's first kiss on the screen, in "Cinderella's Glass Phone", although they have been a couple once, but in that pollution-free film that is rated as G-rated, the two are so pure that they don't look like they are acting in an American movie.
So the shooting of this scene made Lin Mingyang look forward to it very much, but the key is that director Jonathan Mostow thinks that the last moment should be Kate to kiss goodbye to John Connor, who is about to leave, and then let John Connor take him to say hello to Kate in another space-time dimension. Lin Mingyang couldn't take the initiative to kiss, so Lin Mingyang, the big bad wolf in sheep's clothing, wasted 4 expressions during the shooting, and Kate Beckinsale still didn't muster up the courage to kiss him.
Jonathan Mostoto did a lot of guidance, but Kate was a little embarrassed in her heart, and the last time Lin Mingyang had an idea, and took the initiative to say, "Honey, aren't you going to give me another kiss before I leave?" ”
With the plot and the emotional performance on Lin Mingyang's face, Kate Beckinsale finally kissed without hesitation this time, although it was a performance, Lin Mingyang's tongue still recklessly knocked open her teeth, this emotional kiss not only made Kate's closed eyes leave a line of tears, but also crushed her heart, and it was impossible to spell a complete heart for other men.
This set of shots is perfect from the perspective of performance, whether it is the actors' movements, eyes, or the tears left by Kate at the end, they are all very sensational and tragic. But no one realizes that the young couple kissing in front of the camera have been indulged in the whirlpool of this relationship and can't extricate themselves.
Lin Mingyang didn't realize that his kiss completely changed the relationship between him and Kate Beckinsale. Of course, with director Jonathan Mosto's excited "stop", this film, which was once feared that it would not be completed on time, finally came to an end.
Of course, shooting is only the initial part of the film, and if you want to make this film have a shocking effect, post-production is the key factor. After leaving the crew, Lin Mingyang returned to school, but since he chose the starlight road in Hollywood, it is destined that the high school campus cannot carry his dream.
The dull campus life did not last too long, because of Lin Mingyang's perennial filming, he was able to stay in school for only a handful of years, although his grades have not fallen, but his mother Catherine is still ready to find a tutor for him, who can help him review his homework during the acting.
This is not good news in Lin Mingyang's opinion, but from Ex it has brought him good news: Kenny Ortega is back!
Lin Mingyang has always been grateful to the director who led him on the road, if it weren't for the chance encounter at the gas station, maybe he would still be just an ordinary high school student.
In Kenny Ortega's eyes, Lin Mingyang's surprise is far beyond his imagination, only a year has passed, this boy who used to impress himself with a dynamic song has become a popular figure among the new generation of Hollywood movie stars.
In the film "Youth Musical", Lin Mingyang starred and wrote, and his pocket was only less than $200,000, which was a lot of money for him at that time, but now he has published his own novel, and he still maintains the first position on the New York Times bestseller list and no one can shake it. In Lin Mingyang's recent "Terminator 3", his personal salary has reached $4 million.
What surprised Kenny Ortega even more was that Lin Mingyang's achievements in the road of screenwriting have far exceeded his imagination, the boy who described the plot idea to himself in the gas station is now a hot screenwriter in Hollywood. At first, it was Kenny Ortega who took Lin Mingyang's script to persuade Disney, and now it is Disney who takes Lin Mingyang's script and goes to find a high-quality director for him.
Fortunately, Disney chose Kenny Ortega as the director of Lin Mingyang's new film "Baseball Girl", and Lin Mingyang, who learned the news, also seemed very excited, and he could work with Kenny Ortega again outside of "Youth Musical", I have to say that this is a kind of fate between the two.
It's still that café, it's still that small box, the only difference is that Lin Mingyang didn't sit next to Megan Fox, and Kenny Ortega didn't order red wine for himself, but ordered two cups of coffee.
"I watched the movie you wrote, directed and acted in, compared with "Youth Musical", you seem to be more mature in character description and plot structure, I heard that the film has achieved good results after its release, so I have to congratulate you first of all, you have taken a solid step towards your goal."
"The success of this film didn't change the perception of my agents and investors, and Mr. Eckes always thought I was messing around!" Chatting with Kenny Ortega, Lin Mingyang seemed very relaxed.
"I almost forgot, my former partner is now your agent, and Ex has always seen people accurately, and his decision seemed very wise to me." Kenny Ortega chuckled.
"It's just that sometimes it's too nagging." Speaking of his agent, Lin Mingyang seemed very helpless, on the issue of finding a tutor for himself, Ex firmly stood on the side of his mother Catherine, and every day he had to babble to himself about how important good academic performance is to apply for college, and Lin Mingyang's ears were about to become calloused.
"I heard that you have recently had scandals with several female celebrities?" Kenny Ortega, who has always been very serious, couldn't help but "gossip" at this time: "Isn't Meghan jealous in New York?" ”
Seeing Lin Mingyang's lame appearance, he was not embarrassed to continue to "play" with the other party on this issue. Finally he put away his joking expression and turned the conversation to the point.
"I've read the script of "Baseball Girl", the name of Shakespeare's idol drama is really not used to bluff people, compared to other changes in Hollywood, your script this time can be regarded as ingenious, although the content is not a big innovation, but the idea of moving Shakespeare's classic plays to the youth campus is attractive enough!"
Lin Mingyang smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he just borrowed other people's ideas, and then changed a shell, old bottles and new wine.
"Aside from this script, I'm actually most concerned about the relationship between you and Hilary Duff." Kenny Ortega talks about the film's heroine from the script, "Is there really something between you? I'm not referring to scandals, but to the kind of contradictions that the media talk about. ”
"The two of us never met at all, and when I was filming Cinderella's Glass Phone, I asked her to be the heroine of the film, but she didn't agree, and I met Kate later. Later, this matter was turned over by the media, and after some hype, it became what it is now. ”
"So this script is the product of a compromise between you?" Kenny Ortega asked.
"Suffice it to say, because the media was pointing the finger at me at the time, Ecks suggested that I take the initiative to make a gesture to reduce the pressure of public opinion." In front of Kenny Ortega, there is no need for Lin Mingyang to hide it.
"Then if you lose this cooperation platform between you, do you think the current public opinion will be in favor of you?" Kenny Ortega asks a very strange question.
"Maybe!" Lin Mingyang didn't think much about it at first, "I've been making movies lately, and the media has been paying attention to it, and she doesn't seem to have appeared in the media recently, maybe I'm more famous than her now!" ”
"Well, Ex's judgment is the same as yours."
Seeing the serious expression on the other party's face, Lin Mingyang realized that his agent and Kenny Ortega seemed to be hiding something from him.
"What's wrong?"
"According to your explanation, this script was made by you specifically for Hilary Duff?" Kenny Ortega didn't tell him the answer directly.
"I can't say that."
"So do you want to work with her?"
"I hope?" Lin Mingyang was completely confused, "Hasn't the starring role in this film already been determined?" ”
"It used to be like this!" Kenny Ortega sighed slightly, "But now, Hilary Duff has terminated her contract with Disney!" ”
