On November 12, the New York Times was the first to break the news of the explosion, and Link finally made headlines.

"Link is writing a book, can you believe it? Believe it or not, it's a fact. Our newspaper has received a very reliable message, and there are photos to prove it. ”

In this headline report, a photo of Ke Fen's book was published. I don't know which paparazzi took it, but in a row of photos of different times, Link's movements are almost identical, always holding a pen and writing something quickly on the paper with his head down.

The report also included the statement of the person who took the photo.

"I'm an amateur photographer, and I'm one of the people chasing Link. When I saw him in Zhōngyāng Park that day, I cautiously leaned in. At first I didn't think he was writing a novel, but when I got closer, I realized it was true! Link was really writing a novel, and I was so excited that I only saw a few words. Among them are 'Phoenix' 'Bella'. Swan' and a few other keywords. ”

As soon as this report appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

"Isn't Link going to be a director? And became a writer instead? ”

With this kind of question, many people have already started to call CAA Media Group. Most people are concerned about whether Link will still film The Walking Dead.

And those paparazzi also went crazy and began to chase Link's whereabouts frantically. If you can shoot something of value, or see what Link writes, it will definitely make a lot of money.

And those filmmakers have come out and started criticizing Link.

"As a director and company owner, you want to make a movie today, you want to start a record company tomorrow, and you want to write a novel the day after tomorrow? Who do you think you are? Almighty heroes? ”

Criticisms like this have reached the point where they can be seen everywhere.

Even, even 'Haimer', who has always supported Link, stood up this time.

"I'm sure Link will still be a very talented young man. But if he continues to degenerate like this, he will destroy himself. Since you make a movie, then make a good film, and no one will stop you. However, just after the news was released that the movie was going to be made, I went to the novel again in the blink of an eye, which is simply disappointing! ”

As the most famous media critic in the United States, 'Hemer' definitely belonged to the kind of people who were impressed by Link before. But this time, Link kept breaking out all kinds of news, making movies, buying record companies, writing novels, etc., etc., so that those who supported him couldn't help but feel disappointed.

On the contrary, those who hated him were even more excited.

"Write, write, and I wish you a best-selling author. Make a movie or something, forget about it. ”

"Link, you're definitely going to make a good writer. Phoenix? You are welcome to settle here. ”

……

When almost everyone began to be puzzled, doubted, and even disappointed, Link was still writing with his head down.

At first, he was bored at home for several days, but he still wrote a book. As a last resort, I had to start looking for inspiration everywhere, writing almost everywhere I went.

It's because he doesn't have the book "Twilight" in his head.

Everything in his head is about movies and television, and if he talks about movie scripts and American drama scripts, he can make dozens of them at will.

But writing a book is really a bit difficult.

Although he feels that his writing is not bad, and he also has the movie "Twilight" as a reference, it still makes him extremely distressed to write.

In a full week, Link only wrote just over 10,000 words, which is far worse than the speed of writing a script.

"Shouldn't I write a novel?"

Link sometimes questioned himself, but the thought of the book's potential led him to go crazy and learn all sorts of writing techniques.

Anyway, he has money, and he spends money to hire a few ** writers, write while asking for advice, and then occasionally take out a few fragments for them to guide and revise.

He also thought about paying someone to write for him, but in the end he vetoed it.

It's a big joke that you have a good story of your own, but you write it yourself and have someone write it for you. Moreover, if the media knew about it, he would definitely be stinking for 10,000 years.

It wasn't until the 15th that he finally stopped writing, not because he finished writing, but because "Eight Miles" was about to start filming.

Although he doesn't ask about the world these days, he also knows that he has become a joke in the whole of America.

Sure enough, when he took the crew to Detroit, the media began to make a noise again.

"I don't know if Link has finished writing his novel, but he's already set off with the crew anyway. I wonder what the standard of a million-dollar movie will be? I wonder how many people will go to the cinema? Or do I want to know, how many words did he write? ”

There are countless reports like this.

But Link didn't care at all, and flew to Detroit with people. Even on the plane, he kept writing.

"Write slowly, and one day I'll finish it. It's better than 'Stephanie' anyway. Mel's going to write fast, right? ”

Although he had also had a trace of distress about this kind of 'plagiarism', he was instantly discarded again.

Novels, the same subject, you can write it, of course I can write it, where is this plagiarism? I wrote it word by word, who ** saw me plagiarize?

By the time he arrived in Detroit, the main cast and crew had already arrived.

And when he saw Emnum, he couldn't help but be startled.

At this time, Emnum's face turned pale, just like when Link was sick.

"Eminem, are you alright?" Link asked, a little worried.

Emnum shook his head: "I'm fine, don't worry." I only care about my records now, and I don't care about anything else. ”

Seeing Emnum's somewhat decadent appearance, Link could only shake his head and sigh bitterly.

Feelings are really tormenting.

After talking to Emnum, Link turned to the other side. Rachel. McAdams was the heroine of his chosen "Eight Mile."

Amy, who was the assistant director of "The Walking Dead", is also the assistant director of the film "Eight Mile".

"Hey Rachel, Amy, here so soon?" Link walked over with a smile.

Rachel. McAdams looked a little nervous, saw Link coming over, and hurriedly said hello.

She was so excited to play the heroine of "Eight Miles" that she was going crazy. The magic of Link's 'star-making hands' definitely has the qualifications to make people crazy.

On the contrary, Amy looked much more natural, and said with a smile: "Mr. Director, I heard that you are writing a novel?" That's not true, is it? ”

Hearing Amy's teasing, Link rolled his eyes: "Just write casually, don't listen to the media's random reports, do I need their consent to do anything?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Amy laughed out loud as she spoke.

For such a thing as Link writing a novel, Amy also thinks that it is Link's whim. In fact, many people think this way, and the media hype is just eye-catching.

For the sake of newspaper sales, those of the newspaper . The son can do everything.

But I saw Link look at Rachel next to him again. McAdams asked, "Rachel, you've read the script for the movie "Eight Mile", is it difficult for you?" ”

In fact, Link really wanted Mila or Jessica to play the heroine of "Eight Mile", but there were some passion scenes in it, and he was reluctant to do it.

Besides, as he said before, "Eight Miles" is a garbage movie, and this kind of garbage movie should be played by others.

The film "Eight Mile", which reflects Emnum's life experience, also adds appropriate adaptations.

This type of movie wants two words, hot!

In the original "Eight Miles", the picture style belongs to the gray and dark system. A lot of satire and shè are added to it to express various real-life issues.

However, the problem is that the film simply can't carry such a heavy responsibility.

"Eight Miles" is a very pure commercial film, and it should have a very clear positioning, that is, a money machine!

The circle is the money of those crazy star chasers, and this kind of money is the best to earn.

And Link didn't have any psychological burden at all, as he himself said.

"I'll let you start to be cool in the movie theater, and I'll confess my fart. Make a little money from you, that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

After filming the All-American Rap Tour, Link quickly found an underground club in the slums of Detroit.

And as soon as Emnam came here, his face was much better.

"This is it, I've been here countless times."

Looking at the dilapidated walls and garbage-strewn streets, Emnum had calmed down.

And the reason why Link chose to shoot "Eight Miles" at this time is because he is optimistic about Eminem's current state.

If it is the usual Eminem, although that cold appearance is also suitable for the protagonist of "Eight Miles", it lacks the current melancholy temperament and the depressing image.

There is hesitation and depression, and only when it breaks out can the audience be happy!

When the first batch of audiences is happy, more audiences will walk into the cinema and hand over the money to Link, and then Link will accompany them to be cool.

After negotiating the terms with the person in charge of this underground club, the crew of "Eight Mile" officially settled in.

The narrow street in front of the club, called 'Eight Mile Street', is also the origin of the film's name.

The whole crew suddenly got into action, and Mario, who had worked with Link once, was very active in this chaotic environment.

Standing behind the camera and looking at everything in front of him, Link felt like he was back in the scene of the All-American Rap Tour.

He was using the "National Rap Tour" as a practice at the time, and now it comes in handy.

Whether it's lighting, scenery, photography, the atmosphere of the scene, and so on, Link is already familiar with it.

When he saw that all the personnel were already in place, Link took the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Lights, recordings, and cameras are in place to ensure that the equipment is functioning normally." ”

Thirty seconds later, Link glanced around at everyone and shouted, "Action!" ”

Suddenly, the fierce and energetic hi song shook the audience, and the black audience in the audience immediately began to scream.

Link stands behind the camera, with Carl in charge, who has already filmed the All-American Rap Tour, and has enough experience on how to master the camera style in this environment.

The first interior shooting has officially begun!

However, it didn't take long for Link to frown: "Cut! ”

Link walked out from behind the camera, frowned and said, "Eminem, you've read the script." This scene is showing that you can't sing on stage because you're nervous, you know? There should be a look of horror on the face. But it's not about your fear, it's about your nervousness, you know? ”

In the filming of a movie, many times the actors are required to show various emotions. But this sentiment is not specific.

For example, the director needs an actor to perform a scared expression, and the script does not necessarily say that so-and-so shows a frightened expression, but it is likely that so-and-so is embarrassed and overwhelmed.

Since the picture is an exaggerated representation that requires 'form' and 'expression' very much, here, when Link asks Eminem to show a nervous expression, he is prompted to show a frightened expression.

But Eminem shook his head and said firmly: "There's no way I can't sing." ”

Link was so choked by his words that he almost vomited blood, so he had to explain: "This is filming, it's acting, everything is fake." I know you can't sing, but the script requires you to do it. ”

However, no matter how Link explained, Eminem just kept a cold face and didn't speak.

"Damn, it's so unfortunate to encounter this kind of thing in the first shot."

Link couldn't help but complain, but his eyes rolled and he laughed again: "Eminem, as long as you are obedient, after the filming of "Eight Miles", I will take you to meet Gaga, how about it?" ”

Sure enough, hearing Link's words, Eminem first froze for a moment, and then nodded without hesitation.

"Uncle Death, I can't walk when I hear Lori."

Link cursed in his heart, and then returned to the back of the camera.

And in the following time, Eminem behaved much more submissively. Maybe it's really too much like seeing Lady-Gaga, so that he does everything he does to Link.

And time passed quickly, ten days later...... It's over.

This is definitely a record in the history of cinema, the fastest film to be filmed, and it definitely says "Eight Miles" at the back. (To be continued.) )
