Lin Yuquan drove to Summit Entertainment early the next morning, and before discussing the casting and preparation of "Heartbeat", he first listened to the company's work progress during this period.

The Spring Festival in China, the United States does not, in the more than a month since Lin Yuquan returned to China, all the work of Summit Entertainment is being carried out in an orderly manner.

First of all, of course, is the preparation of the movie, the preparation of "Spartan 300 Warriors" is nearing completion. Julie was unable to act, and after deciding to change roles, there were no accidents this time. Jackman finally agreed to star in the film for $12 million, with only one requirement, the film must be completed by July, so as not to delay the filming of "Wolverine". Linna. Heidi readily accepted Summit Entertainment's $2 million salary, without any requirements, but would accept the crew's arrangement.

And the crew was all determined during this time, with the soundtrack Howard. Shaw, Photographer Vary. Pfister, art director Danty. Ferretti, special effects industrial light and magic, set designer Paul. Walter, like Lin Yuquan's idea, almost follows the team of "Wild Story".

Now, a group of actors in the crew are Zack. Under the guidance of Schneider and Yuan Heping, they carried out body shape and strived to create a group of extremely muscular men. Follow Zach. Schneider's idea, the film is expected to start shooting in mid-April.

"Fast and Exciting * Emotions 4" is also almost prepared, and the reason why the speed can be so fast is not only because it is a sequel to the series, but also because Universal Pictures has too much experience in operation. Of course, after Lin Yuquan intervened, compared with the previous work, the main creative team of "Fast and Exciting * Emotion 4" has been greatly adjusted.

Such adjustments are mainly reflected in two positions. First of all, the screenwriter is no longer just Chris of "Fast and Exciting 3". Morgan. Chris. Morgan's screenwriting is of a good standard. But it wasn't good enough to meet his requirements for excellence in the script, and in order to make up for this, he deliberately added two other screenwriters with rich experience in action film creation, one is Scott, who wrote "Prison in the Sky". Rosenberg, another writer of "Extreme Agent" Rich Rich. Wilkes, with three people working together to write the script.

Secondly, in terms of soundtrack, he was originally going to find John. Powell cooperated. However, the other party was too busy to take a break, and finally selected Theodore, a well-known soundtrack artist who had scored "The New Money Grabbing Couple" and "The Queen Wears Prada". Shapilo, his soundtrack style is more varied, and passionate and changeable music is also what he is good at.

And the key cast of the film has been fully completed, roughly adding rocks on the basis of the first two parts of "Fast and Thrill". Johnson, Fan. Diesel, Rock. Johnson, Paul. Walker, Jordana. Brewster, Michelle. Rodriguez, such a lineup is definitely star-studded, if not superstar-studded.

According to Lin Yibin and Universal Pictures senior producer Neil Brown. H. Moretz predicts that the film is expected to start shooting at the end of March or early April.

Other film aspects. "Twilight: New Moon" will continue to be produced by Chris S. Directed by Columbus, the other party did a great job in "Twilight: Twilight". Lin Yuquan can't think of any reason to change the director, and the main creative team will roughly continue to use the first part, and the script of this film is currently tending to be completed, and if there are no accidents, it will start shooting at the end of March. The script of "The Expendables", Stallone is in full swing of creation, the biggest trouble of this movie is to coordinate the schedule of a group of actors, it is estimated that it will not start filming until the end of May, and it will definitely not be released in time for this year. The basic creation and crew formation of "Fatal Bend 3" with an investment of 20 million US dollars have been completed, and it will start shooting in mid-March, and it is expected to be released on Halloween this year, with an investment of 12 million US dollars "Black Valentine" and an investment of 30 million US dollars "The Boxer" are in full swing and are expected to start shooting in April and May.

In addition, currently Chris. Anderson is setting up a special fund to shoot small-budget films, not for profit, but mainly to expand Summit Entertainment's rights library, as well as to cultivate and discover excellent directors and screenwriters, according to the plan, Summit Entertainment will spend $10 million a year to implement this action, and is expected to shoot 3-5 films.

In fact, Summit Entertainment originally started by discovering independent films, but it is really difficult to find blockbusters like "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Juno", and "Two Big Smoking Guns", and it is really difficult to achieve a double harvest of word-of-mouth independent films.

"Yes, that's a good plan, Chris, you can do it your way!" In the conference room of Summit Entertainment, Lin Yuquan had a satisfied smile on his face, he was really satisfied with this plan, the investment of 10 million US dollars per year was really not much, but such a meager investment gave Summit Entertainment an extra chance to produce low-cost but good enough movies like "Juno" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", as long as a good work can be produced every year, this plan is successful, and even if it is all lost, it is nothing, for him, the loss of 10 million US dollars is completely within his bearing.

"Okay, boss." Chris. Anderson smiled slightly, the reason why he proposed such a plan is because he knows Lin Yuquan's attitude towards movies, unlike other film company bosses, Lin Yuquan may also value the profits of the film, but it is by no means mercenary, compared to profits, he, as a director, is a rich boss who cares more about the quality of the film itself.

"Okay, finalize the other things, then it's time to discuss the preparation of my "Heartbeat", the current film script, Wendelin and I. Fan. De La Anan has already finished creating, and in terms of the crew, I have considered a few main candidates, you guys, is there a better one? ”

Because it is a new film genre, and almost all of his previous cooperation team will be invested in the filming of "Spartan 300 Warriors", Lin Yuquan's "Heartbeat" will have a new set of team.

In terms of photography, because it is a love movie full of innocence, Lin Yuquan hopes that the colors of the film will be warm, bright and fresh, and finally after some screening. He chose Fenton. Papameco. The reason for choosing the other party is very large, and Cheng Dù is based on the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". This is one of the best films he has made in recent years. And in this movie. Fenton. Papameko's treatment of the picture made him feel that it was particularly suitable for his "Heartbeat". Later, after watching Fenton. After Papameco's past works, he is even more determined to make up his mind, "A Cup of Wine", "Fatal ID", "American Sweetheart", "Drop of the Heart", behind the success of each other, not only shows the other party's experience, but also represents the excellent level of cinematography.

In terms of soundtrack, the soundtrack of Xiao Fresh's love movie is different from his previous movies. Horner, Hans. Zimmer, John. Williams three soundtrack masters. The soundtrack skills of these three masters are naturally impeccable, but judging from the past works of the trio, their musical style is not very suitable for his "Heartbeat". He wanted the kind of music that was soothing, fresh, and a little touching, and this kind of music was not something that the trio were good at. In fact, the soundtrack is the most exhausting thing for him when considering the crew, once the soundtrack can't be just right, he hopes that the innocent love shown in "Heartbeat" can't be expressed. After much consideration, he chose McChell. Danner, the name is naturally inferior to Hans. Zimmer and others are famous. But he is not an unknown person, and he is a soundtrack artist with very rich experience in soundtracks. The most famous works in recent years are "Little Sunshine Beauty" and "Capote". The reason why he chose the other party is because he thinks the other party's music in "Little Sunshine Beauty" is very good, and it is very similar to the feeling he wants.

In terms of art direction, Lin Yuquan chose Bill. Breskey, who was previously the art director of the film "Perfect", which won the best actor and actress at the 70th Oscars in '98, is good at nostalgic set and art design, and the scene in "Heartbeat" is precisely that nostalgic country style

"What do you think of the candidates I'm considering?" After Lin Yuquan finished speaking, he looked at the participants with a smile on his face and an inquiring look.

"Boss, I don't think anyone here has a better say in this regard than you, and according to your movie concept, Boss, I think they are a good fit." Kevin. Garnett said with a smile.

"Kevin is right, boss, you are the authority in this regard, since the boss you think they are good candidates, it must be true, as for whether there are better candidates than them, unless everyone is pulled out for comparison, it is unknown." Chris. Anderson Road.

Lin Yuquan nodded when he heard this, unlike the selection of actors, actors can be screened according to their appearance, acting skills, and box office appeal, but positions such as photographers, soundtrack artists, lighting engineers, art directors, and set designers cannot be pulled out for auditions like actors, and there is no intuitive measurement standard, so they can only follow their feelings according to the situation of the other party's work and their own needs, it is difficult to determine whether the other party is necessarily suitable, and it is difficult to know whether the other party is the most suitable candidate for this position.

"Since you don't have any objections, let's follow my idea and dismiss the meeting later, Kevin, you immediately arrange for someone to contact them and do your best to implement the signing, while Amanda you organize the initial audition for the actors, and we will have the final interview on Friday, which is my image requirement for the role." Lin Yuquan handed the abbreviated script to his old casting partner Amanda. Pacino.

"Boss, what is the budget for our film, and is there a cap on the salary?" Amanda. Pacino asked as soon as he took the script.

"There is no specific budget, and there is no upper limit on the salary, and as long as the other party meets the requirements of the role's image, they can participate in the audition." Lin Yuquan said sonorously that if it is a big production with a budget of more than 100 million yuan, he may have a floating budget, but since it is a love movie that is destined to be not very expensive, of course he does not need to set any budget to limit his shooting.

"Okay, boss." Amanda. Pacino nodded, he could fully understand Lin Yuquan's decision, in fact, a love movie where the hero and heroine are teenagers, there are no complicated and cumbersome scenes, and no special effects are needed, of course, the investment will not be high, with Lin Yuquan's status, there is naturally no need to limit the budget for this

Kung Fu Lin, which has attracted global attention, has plans for a new film, and when "Heartbeat" announced the start of casting, it immediately caused a huge shock throughout Hollywood. And then it quickly spread around the world.

The shock in the hearts of the public is not mentioned. The reaction of the entertainment industry to this can be described as particularly strong. Who is Lin Yuquan, although he is young, he seems to be one of the most influential commercial film directors in the world.

Up to now, in just 4 years, he has shot a total of five films, four of which have been released worldwide, and have achieved amazing box office success around the world, in terms of global box office. "Huo Yuanjia" is $170 million, "Red Cliff" is $413 million, "Painted Skin" is $461 million, and "Hurricane Rescue" is $827 million, with an average box office of $467 million per movie.

In terms of the average global box office alone, among all directors in the world, there are only two directors who have a higher average global box office than him. Speaking of which, the up-and-coming Hollywood director has an unbelievably high box office record, having started his career as a director with Shrek in 2001, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Film for his debut film, and so far. He filmed a total of three works: "Shrek", "Shrek 2", and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", which grossed $484 million, $920 million, and $745 million respectively worldwide. The average global box office of each film is as high as 716 million US dollars, which is the highest among all directors in the world today, but unfortunately, two works are animated films, and one work mainly relies on novels and special effects, resulting in his extremely high box office, but his global influence is limited.

The other is the famous George. Lucas, although one of the most acclaimed directors in the world, but George. Lucas does not have many works, so far, a total of 6 works directed by him, "500 Years Later", "American Painting", "Star Wars 1", "Star Wars Prequel 1", "Star Wars Prequel 2", "Star Wars Prequel 3", the global box office is 2.44 million US dollars, 115 million US dollars, 775 million US dollars, 924 million US dollars, 649 million US dollars, 849 million US dollars, and the average global box office is as high as 552.4 million US dollars.

In addition to these two, behind Lin Yuquan is a great director, Gore. Wibinski's global box office averaged $460 million. Cameron's $437.6 million, Peter. Jackson's $437 million, John. Lasseter $418 million, Michael. $375 million, Roland. Emmerich $364.5 million, Steven. Spielberg's $326 million, Chris. Columbus $301 million, Knight. $276.5 million in Shyamalan, Robert Brown. Zemeckis $258 million, Jay. Roach $255 million, Tom. Sadiak $228 million, Bright. Ratner $219 million, Barry. Sonam Field $191 million, Lang. $176 million from Howard, Tim. Burton $166 million

Such an amazing box office result, and Lin Yuquan is so young, which naturally makes his global influence soar, and is known as the myth of the director. Adamson was 34 years old when he directed Shrek. Lucas is 29 years old when he shoots "American Style Painting", which really made him declare, but Lin Yuquan is not yet 25 years old!

High box office is still one of them, high box office is not equal to all, just like Andrew. Adamson, Gore. Vibbins, John. Lasseter, Michael. Bei and others, even though the box office is high, their status and influence in the world are far inferior to Tim. Burton, Lang. Howard, Martin. Scorsese et al.

What really makes Lin Yuquan attract people's attention is that every film he shoots can be called a classic of the same genre, as if his work has been equated with high quality.

And this is also the reason why the casting of "Heartbeat" has caused a great shock in the entertainment industry, especially in Hollywood, which is close at hand. Just ask, as an actor, who doesn't want the work they starred in to be a good work. A movie starring opportunity that can not only bring great attention to themselves, but also will definitely be a good work, is naturally the dream of all actors.

So, after announcing the casting of "Heartbeat", many actors or agents immediately went to the bookstore to buy the original novel of "Heartbeat" or check the Internet for information about "Heartbeat".

After learning about the situation of "Heartbeat", many big-name actors were disappointed, because the protagonists of "Heartbeat" are two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and women, although there will be scenes of two parents in the film, but obviously there are not many scenes. Finally, another kung fu Lin movie is about to start filming, but he can't play the leading role in it, how can this not disappoint Hollywood's hopeful first-line actors and actresses.

Of course, there are few scenes, but after all, it is the work of Kung Fu Lin, and it will not delay the filming time for too long, if there is a chance, naturally no one wants to miss it, not to mention that if you can use the film to shoot and have a good relationship with Kung Fu Lin, it is definitely a rare good thing.

For them, even if they don't have many scenes, they may appear in Kung Fu Lin's movie is already a great success, which is bound to increase their popularity and then get better opportunities to appear in the future.

And the most exciting are of course those young actors, teenagers are the most dreamy time in their hearts, as young actors, who has never dreamed of starring in a certain work and becoming famous in one fell swoop, just like countless previous actors, from then on to become a superstar. There is no doubt that starring in Kung Fu Lin's work is such an opportunity, not seeing Christine. With the excellent performance of "Hurricane Rescue", is Stuart already the most popular new generation of actresses? They also want to be the next "Christine. Stewart".

All of a sudden, all the actors who thought they were suitable began to act.

At the same time, Lin Yuquan is about to open "Heartbeat" will also become the focus of heated discussions among the media and fans, of which the center of focus is mainly on the subject matter, no one expected that he would choose to shoot a love movie about the first love of two little guesses. Although Lin Yuquan has been experimenting with new things before, there is generally one element in his past works: his world-class action design and stunning visual effects. But this time Lin Yuquan has completely undergone a big transformation, there is no action design that stands alone in the world, and there are no gorgeous visual effects, his new work turned out to be a love movie that ordinary directors can make.

Such a situation naturally aroused many people's doubts, and also disappointed some action fans, wondering why Lin Yuquan thanklessly chose such a theme, not to mention whether he can shoot it well, even if it is filmed well, such a movie must not have a high box office, in their opinion, Lin Yuquan should continue to shoot the theme he is best at and win more box office.

Of course, in comparison, because of Lin Yuquan's glorious record in the past, more people naturally spoke out in support of Lin Yuquan's choice, they not only praised Lin Yuquan's courage to keep trying, but also expressed their expectations for the first love movie he directed.

In the busyness of people with hearts and the discussion of countless media and fans, three days passed in a flash. (To be continued......)

PS: It took a long time to select the crew, and although I knew that my friends basically didn't care about this, I still did it thanklessly. Is Breskey the art director of "Heartbeat", "The Hangover", "Iron Man 3", "Fast & Thrill* 7"? I would say McChell. Did Danner win the Oscar for Best Original Music for Life of Pi? I will also say that Danti, who was previously chosen by "Savage Records". Was Ferretti the winner of the next three Oscars for Best Art Direction? ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the three friends in my heart, the end season of the love apartment, and the eight-year Shenkeng, and thank you for the reward from the friends of Orfenglin.
