Chapter 315 There is competition to cooperate

It took more than a month from the preparation of the film's selection on Maui Island, Hawaii, to the layout of each shooting location, from the installation and commissioning of the racing car to the coordination and determination of the shooting location. This phase of the film "Fatal Bend" is mainly filmed on the Hana Highway. It can be said that the confidentiality of the whole filming was done very well, and the crew members lied to the outside world that they were on a group vacation, which greatly confused the media attention of Hollywood.

It wasn't until the crew blocked the highway and took photos of the real photos were taken by tourists and posted on the Internet that the Hollywood media suddenly realized that the number of passengers to Maui Island had increased dramatically, and Hawaiian Airlines had to add multiple flights to send all the reporters who flocked to the island.

It's a pity that the hotel where the crew stayed was empty at this time, and the unwilling reporters thought that Lin Mingyang was playing a game of "hide and seek" with them, and they mobilized manpower to carry out a carpet search on Maui Island, and they were busy jumping up and down for a long time, but they didn't even touch the shadow of the crew.

Lin Mingyang and his crew disappeared out of thin air like this?

Just when this question was grimly torturing the Hollywood media's self-proclaimed pervasive news penetration, in the desert of New Mexico, another witness found the traces of the crew. The reporters were dispatched this time, but unfortunately Lin Mingyang still made a false shot, and the crew's shooting on the Caplin Volcano Highway in New Mexico was just a glimpse. The media didn't even catch a shadow, and the crew once again disappeared from the public eye like a mirage.

The two setbacks made the Hollywood media learn from the pain, and they accurately analyzed the filming locations selected by Lin Mingyang in the new film from the locations where the crew stopped filming twice, and they may have some rugged mountain road curves. Following this line of thought, several major Hollywood news media miraculously joined together, and they began to cast a net everywhere, waiting for the rabbit, and working hard to "find out" the foundation of Lin Mingyang's new film.

This trick really worked, and the reporter in charge of squatting in Italy "accidentally" bumped into Miller, the actor of "Fatal Bend", at the airport, and the other party followed him all the way, and finally found the traces of the crew at the Stelvio Pass in Lombardy, Italy.

The Stelvio Pass is so vast that it is almost impossible to completely block it, and more and more reporters have rushed to hear the news in recent days, most of whom have been blocked at the entrance to the mountain road. But there are still a group of bold and reckless guys who sneaked in from somewhere else, they couldn't get close to the shooting site, so they could only ambush on the hill from afar, and secretly shoot the crew's dynamics with the help of the super telephoto camera equipment in their hands.

At first, the crew didn't notice it, and what finally exposed these reporters was the lenses in their hands, which showed some reflections to varying degrees under the sunlight. Once in a while, it didn't arouse everyone's vigilance, but in the end, there was always a bright light on the hill, and Lin Mingyang sent someone to check, which drove away the hateful sneakers.

As the most thrilling part of the film, the complex road conditions and 180-degree steep turns of the Stelvio Pass caused a lot of trouble for the crew. Drifting tail flicks are inherently accident-prone maneuvers in vehicle driving. And Lin Mingyang needs to show more exaggerated effects in the movie, which can be said to be impossible to complete in reality.

Although the most dangerous moves relied on computer special effects in post-production, the pressure on the two stuntmen was still high. A few days ago, Tanabe Hideki had an accident during the test drive, the car rolled around on the hillside, and stopped in the most dangerous place, Tanabe Hideki who was sitting in the driver's seat was unscathed, but the people around him were scared out of a cold sweat.

In order to ensure the safety of the participants, Lin Mingyang suspended the filming of the film, and asked the film's special assistant Keiichi Tsuchiya to negotiate a realistic shooting plan with the two stunt drivers, and then the filming of the film will continue to follow.

Keiichi Tsuchiya took Kuniaki Takahashi and Hideki Tanabe to experiment on the road for a few days, but the effect was not ideal, and in the end they did not come up with a plan that satisfied Lin Mingyang, so in the following discussion of the plot progress, he has been silent and silently endured the criticism of others, until the end he stood up to defend himself.

"The condition was the worst I've ever seen, and if we weren't careful, we could have lost our drivers, which we've never seen before... I'm not passing the buck when I say that, but that's what it is."

"Is this the Japanese spirit of bushido?" A sneering voice sounded next to him, and Tsuchiya Keiichi's face suddenly turned red.

In the crew, Lin Mingyang's attention to these Japanese has long made the staff in charge of film special effects production angry, and the leader of the attack on Tsuchiya Keiichi is Chart, the special effects production director from Industrial Light & Magic.

This guy's personality and temper are not likable, but the key is that he is capable, which is why Lucas in Industrial Light & Magic can tolerate his reckless temper, and in the crew of "Fatal Bend", Lin Mingyang also turned a blind eye to his excessive behavior. A usable person is not afraid that you have shortcomings, but that you have no advantages.

Seeing Lin Mingyang sitting there silently, Chart's confidence also grew, he stood up a little aggressively, and glanced at Tsuchiya Keiichi with a cold gaze, "If you can't drive well in reality, just leave these things to us to do well, anyway, the most dangerous shots are made by us, and my team and I don't mind adding some more work on top of this." ”

The other party's provocation made Tsuchiya Keiichi very angry, and just when he was about to have a seizure, Lin Mingyang suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Tsuchiya, do you have any good solutions to this problem?"

His words made Tsuchiya Keiichi completely calm down, at this time, it is not a quarrel to solve the problem, anger is just the behavior of the weak, if you can't show admirable strength, what reason is there for others to respect you?

After thinking about this, Tsuchiya Keiichi finally stabilized his emotions, he knew that Lin Mingyang's trust in him had not been completely lost, and this was his chance to turn the tables.

"In order to accomplish these extremely difficult scenes, my suggestion is to do another modification of the current vehicle... The shock absorbers, the limited-slip differential, the gears in the front and rear bearings, and even the bumpers had to be replaced."

Keiichi Tsuchiya said his answer in a deep voice, and Chart snorted coldly, and a sneering sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time he didn't speak, but Marton, the assistant director who was sitting on the side and was in charge of the financial expenses of the crew, stood up with an embarrassed face.

In the crew, Marton is known as a good gentleman, and usually when there is a serious difference of opinion, he would not take the lead, but now he has to stand up, and he is against Tsuchiya Keiichi.

"Mr. Tsuchiya, I wonder how much money it will cost to rebuild these vehicles?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Tsuchiya Keiichi felt a little bad, he hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, "1 million dollars, no less"

Marton showed a rare solemn expression on his face, "You spent $1 million last time to modify the vehicle, and now you have to remodify it, so the money we talked about before was wasted?" ”

"This..."Keiichi Tsuchiya was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to the other party's question.

"Will Mr. Tsuchiya be able to guarantee that the modified car will be able to complete the shooting?"

Lin Mingyang's question once again became the key to Ding Ding's fortune, thinking of Charlt's expression just now, Tsuchiya Keiichi turned his heart, "This time I will play in person, and I will definitely be able to meet your requirements, if not, I will..."

"Stop" Seeing Tsuchiya Keiichi's resolute expression, Lin Mingyang hurriedly made a stop gesture, and secretly complained in his heart, what's wrong with this little Japan, he is ready to cut his stomach at every turn, and he really regards Lao Tzu as your emperor?

He waved his hand, "Mr. Tsuchiya doesn't need to be so nervous, even if the car is modified to help the shooting, I won't do anything to you... All I need is you to do your best, you know what I mean? ”

Lin Mingyang was originally comforting the other party, but when the words reached Tsuchiya Keiichi's ears, it became a disguised question, he suddenly stood up straight and bowed to Lin Mingyang, "Tsuchiya Keiichi will definitely live up to your high expectations"

Marton opened his mouth and was about to express his opinion, but seeing that Lin Mingyang's attitude had been decided, he chose to remain silent. And Chart unabashedly wrote his dissatisfaction on his face.

Lin Mingyang, who knows how to balance, naturally can't favor one over the other, and with a wave of his hand, Charlt's request for an additional $3 million in production costs was cashed on the spot. Chart immediately smiled, but Marton, whose money bag was deflated, had a sad face.

Marton's real identity is the temporary housekeeper that Exx found for Lin Mingyang, and his only job is to be optimistic about Lin Mingyang, otherwise he will spend money lavishly during filming. Marton, who is good at cost control, thought that this was a very easy job, but when he arrived at the crew, he found that every money spent by Lin Mingyang could find a high-sounding justification, and Marton's work was completely reduced from financial management to a simple cashier.

Nominally, Marton is directly responsible for Ex, but Lin Mingyang is his boss's boss, and there is no upper limit to the budget for the movies he wants to make, no wonder Ex always complains in private that this guy is a "loser", and this period of experience has made Marton finally become an understanding person.

spent 4 million US dollars at once, Lin Mingyang was not distressed, but Marton was a little distressed, and after the meeting ended, he waited until the end.

"Sir, those Japanese modified cars may really cost $1 million, but Charlt's request shouldn't be so simple as saying yes... This guy is obviously deliberately trying to embarrass Keiichi Tsuchiya today, in order to get more production funds from us. ”

Lin Mingyang smiled and patted Marton's shoulder, he found for the first time that this assistant director had a touch of cuteness in addition to being reliable. "You don't have to worry about this, although the money asked for by Charle is a little more, as long as he can make the effect I want, I am willing to give him more money, after all, good special effects are made with money, and we don't need to save anything in this regard."

Marton nodded on the surface, but muttered quietly in his heart, he seemed to have never seen Lin Mingyang save money. Come to think of it, he had a deeper concern in his heart.

"Today, you provoked Tsuchiya Keiichi and Chart like this, aren't you afraid that these two will really do something against each other?"

"I'm happy if they really do it," Lin Mingyang smiled slightly, "It's not necessarily an absolute good thing that the relationship in the crew is too harmonious, everyone has competition to cooperate, are you still worried that I can't suppress these two guys?" ”

――――
