I came back alive, today we started our recovery, Xingcen went out drinking and singing with friends in the evening, and very good friends are going to study abroad after the exam. Full of sincerity, let go of this old face, kneel and beg for rewards, recommendations, monthly passes, and praise one-stop service!

The flight arrived on time, although the flight attendants reluctantly waved at Yang Lin, it could not affect Yang Lin's mood in a hurry to get off the plane. The elites in the first class also have such gossip times, Yang Lin underestimated the tireless love of gossip among the broad masses of the people, these people have quite strong purchasing power, maybe they will buy a few albums to listen to?
In October, the weather in Los Angeles is crisp, the sun is shining but not dazzling, and the weather is somewhat dry. Busy pedestrians weave through the streets, and it's a movie paradise.
Hollywood Boulevard is full of tourists and flashing lights. Visitors from all over the world flocked to the Oscar statuette, in front of the handprints of the stars on the Walk of Fame, and near the marvelous Paramount Movie Base, enjoying the atmosphere of Hollywood.
Sitting in the car, Yang Lin looked at the Kodak Theater outside the window with interest, and said to himself: "I don't know if there is a place for me at next year's Oscars." "He already has a little golden man, the award for best original film song. However, in his opinion, this award is not worth mentioning at all, after all, the theme song of "Transformers" "New-divided" is just a song he redeemed from the star development system, and it is not his own strength.
And most crucially, he is an actor! In film acting awards like the Academy Awards, he won a singer's little golden man, which is really embarrassing. So, he is now thinking about which movie can help him complete the mission of the Olympics.
Zhang Qian also looked at the bustling crowd outside, and said with a smile: "There may be a location, but I don't know if there is a nomination." Let's be honest. Your commercial value is rising, but your acting skills are not recognized by professionals. When, go find some literary films to shoot, and it's a good thing to get a nomination! ”
Listening to him, it seems that the nomination for the Oscar is an easy matter, and you don't need to do anything to be shortlisted. Fortunately, the driver in front did not understand Chinese. Otherwise, you will have to sneer at Zhang Qian.
"Are you the Oscars of our family? If you want to mix nominations, you can mix them up, don't you see how many companies such as Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Lionsgate, MGM, and Disney have made movies that cater to the tastes of the judges for those spots? I wanted to be shortlisted, but I didn't play any role particularly well. Yang Lin took his gaze back from the window, he touched his slightly stubble chin, and said to Zhang Qian: "Help me pay attention to it recently, don't take commercial films, if there is any good literary theme, no matter what the script or quotation is." Show me first. ”
He made up his mind to find a way out of literary films, after all, that is the hope of winning awards. box office and awards, he doesn't let go of both.
"No problem, I'll help you let out a little rumor, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of directors looking for you. Hehe. If only you could leave a handprint on Hollywood Boulevard. Zhang Qian looked at the distant Hollywood Avenue and sighed with emotion.
Indeed, Yang Lin now has preliminary qualifications, depending on how the management committee determines it. After all, he now grosses more than a billion dollars in consecutive films. It can be described as a box office lucky star. And he is young and highly malleable, and won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. It is the overlord of the American Teen Choice Awards. If you give him a chance to stay on Hollywood Avenue, it makes sense.
"Transformers" broke one billion at the box office, and a group of Autobots were on the global box office list in 2007. And this year, that is, in 2008, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" fired the first shot of the summer file with an extremely hot start, and used a global box office of $1.1 billion to face the Batman trilogy "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" directed by Nolan.
And now, although the domestic film "Painted Skin" has not reached such a vigorous time, with the popularity of the Chinese mainland market, the domestic box office was 38 million yuan on the first day of release. Now after the National Day, the cumulative domestic box office has exceeded 500 million yuan, and the global box office has climbed to a peak of 230 million US dollars.
The mysterious oriental atmosphere, the love-hate love story, the almost perfect fusion of clothing, music, art, and color, and the huge sign of oriental magic make "Painted Skin" very popular in foreign markets. On the contrary, in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, France, India and other countries, "Painted Skin" has won the top of the single-week box office list once.
Many professionals expect that the box office of this film will rise again after the publicity is launched and word of mouth spreads, and the global box office of 400 million US dollars should not be a dream.
filmed in a five-star hotel, and Yang Lin's treatment was quite good. After the waiter put the luggage in, Yang Lin suddenly lay on the bed, posed in a Taizi shape, and prepared to sleep. He had to refresh himself and turn the jet lag backwards, and he would have to rehearse tomorrow and then try it out at the end.
For the movie "Inception", Yang Lin's age is indeed too young, compared to the middle-aged protagonist Cobb, he must work styling, clothing, and language. Sometimes makeup technology can't solve all problems, after all, movement, language, demeanor, and especially facial expressions are the most important places.
The acting skills that have reached the S-level cannot satisfy Yang Lin's determination, he looked at himself in the mirror and started today's training. Yang Lin in the mirror changed his expression from time to time, with low eyebrows and contemplation, laughter, and extremely dignified and nervous, all kinds of expressions were easily brought by him, and he resolutely did not let his acting skills regress.
A shot on the big screen needs to be shot on the set several times, more than ten times, and countless times in private. Talented actors need to keep exercising and be diligent to make up for their shortcomings.
Cobb in "Inception" is not a rich and handsome, but an ordinary person. Just look at Yang Lin's current costume. A black khaki coat suit, a white shirt that looks like it is rolling dirty in the mud and dust, some dirty pants, and a head of black hair with hair oil combed back, which looks shiny.
Of course, this is just one of the shapes, and when Yang Lin still has to turn over, he won't go on like this forever.
"How? It should be about the same now, right? The stylist clapped her hands to get rid of the non-existent dust, and she said to director Nolan with a proud face. In their profession, stylists can be confident.
Nolan looked at Yang Lin in front of him, touched his chin, turned his head and asked his wife Emma, and said, "The overall feeling is almost the same, but can you make a sense of vicissitudes." I always feel that there is something wrong with his face now, adding a little wrinkles, forehead lines and the like. ”
Emma, who was holding her arms, nodded and said, "Yang Lin, you pay attention to adjust your expression, the middle class is going to have that lazy mental state, you look too energetic." ”
It is worthy of following Director Nolan for so long, Emma immediately found the crux of the problem. After she pointed it out, she got the nod of approval from the rest of the people.
Yang Lin's eyes rolled, he put away his smile, put his hand on the table, frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed. The corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, not knowing what he was calculating. The other hand was inserted in the bag of suit pants, and the original enterprising appearance changed at once.
"Alright, you must pay attention to keep it like this all the time! Today, let's run in with the crew first, and shoot as much as we can. I hope you can adapt to this rhythm as soon as possible, you are also an experienced person, I don't need to say more. ”
After Nolan whispered this in his ear, he went to pay attention to the rest of the actors. Although Yang Lin is the starring role, the crew does not revolve around him alone.
Arthur, who plays Cobb's assistant, is played by the famous Hollywood kid Joseph Gordon Levitt. He was much better than Yang Lin's tattered outfit. A tailor-made suit is meticulous, and the look of the suit and leather shoes looks quite stylish. The two handsome guys stand together, plus a Japanese star Ken Watanabe, and the three of them are the actors in this scene.
"You should have no problem with the action scenes, I've seen your fights in the rest of the movies. In this scene, you don't need to use Chinese kung fu, just simple and efficient fights, which are pleasing to the eye and lethal at the same time. Nolan was next to the monitor, gesturing to Yang Lin, pointing to another person and saying, "This is our action guide." He has previously directed films such as the 007 series and Die Hard. Let's talk about it first. ”
There are many reasons why Nolan chose Yang Lin, one of the important factors is that Yang Lin has considerable potential in action movies, and he will inevitably be one of Hollywood's tough guys in the future. Handsome and extraordinary appearance, agile skills, real fighting, and superb acting skills, as well as Paramount's strong support, etc., are the reasons for his success.
Steven looked at Yang Lin in front of him and let go of the contempt in his heart. He once did action design for the 007 series, so he can naturally see Yang Lin's physical fitness. Now Yang Lin, under his guidance, quickly entered the state and practiced alone. Fights and shootouts are all understandable, and the movements are very skillful. (To be continued.) )
