Chapter 451: Preparations Begin

The second daughter's moving banquet was cooked by Jiang Yan's parents and Wang Luodan's sister, as for Wang Luodan's parents are still in Inner Mongolia, after going to the kitchen to see the three people who were having lunch, Lin Yuquan immediately visited their villa under the guidance of the second daughter.

"How's it going, isn't it particularly beautiful?" Wang Luodan said proudly showing off.

"Well, it's beautiful." Lin Yuquan smiled and nodded: "But I prefer the decoration style of the swallow house." ”

Wang Luodan, who heard the previous sentence, suddenly held his head high, and felt indescribably proud in his heart, but after hearing the latter sentence, he immediately almost vomited blood in depression, and glared at Lin Yuquan viciously.

Liu Yifei and Jiang Yan, who accompanied Lin Yuquan to visit together, laughed out loud, this situation and this scene are so familiar.

"Sure enough, if there is a husband, there must be a wife, Yifei was completely spoiled by your guy, please, you can't say more nice things, you have to hit me at this time." Wang Luodan looked at Lin Yuquan speechlessly, then at Liu Yifei, and said angrily.

"Yifei, you also said so." Lin Yuquan looked at Yifei with a smile in his eyes.

"No, I'm talking about not being as good-looking as Brother Yuquan." Liu Yifei smiled lightly, revealing two cute and charming dimples on her delicate face.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan suddenly laughed dumbly.

Wang Luodan next to him gritted his teeth and was quite helpless: "Please, you still don't think it's enough to hit me!" ”

"How so? Because we are good friends, we joked like this, afraid that your tail will rise to the sky, but in fact, the decoration is really good. Cosy yet lovely. Lin Yuquan smiled.

"You have a vision. I'll forgive you this time. Wang Luodan's mood immediately became happy.

After visiting Wang Luodan's villa. The four of them returned to the living room of Jiang Yan's villa.

"Brother Hao, when is "Nightclub" going to start?" Leaning comfortably on the sofa, Lin Yuquan asked Ning Hao with a smile, it is indeed a wise decision to let Ning Hao accept "Nightclub", originally in addition to the overall creativity of the story, the script with many problems in the plot content, after he and the Ning Jiabang screenwriter team modified, the comedy effect has been improved by at least two grades. In addition, the cast is also quite good, which makes people look forward to how exciting the film will be in the end.

"It's coming soon, it's either the end of August or the beginning of September." Ning Hao smiled.

"Oh, it was filmed at about the same time as my "Immediate Rescue", hey, I miss us filming "Huo Yuanjia" together, ha, if I, you, Xiao Yang, and Senior Sister work together to shoot another movie, it should be a very interesting thing." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"It's really interesting." A smile appeared on Ning Hao's face, and there was a deep emotion in his tone. In the blink of an eye, it's been four years. But the scenes of everyone preparing, filming, and distributing "Huo Yuanjia" together are vivid, as if it were yesterday.

"Haha, Yuquan is a good idea, when will we have to work together again." Xiao Yang laughed at the same time, he was also full of emotion, four years ago he was just a junior student majoring in film and television advertising directing in the Fine Arts Department of Kyoto Film Academy, at that time he dreamed of making movies, and he could only dream, as his first film to participate in the shooting, there were too many bits and pieces that he could not forget.

"Wow, if you really work together again, it will be terrible, and I won't be paid to appear at that time." Zhou Xun's eyes showed a strong look of expectation, to this day, Lin Yuquan is already the most influential young director in China, these four people work together again, you can imagine what kind of sensational effect it will cause, if you can star in such a movie, it is definitely a very interesting thing.

"I also starred in "Huo Yuanjia", and I will be counted as one at that time." "I also acted, and I was counted as one." "How could such an interesting thing be done without me? There is no starring role, and the cameo is also made. Everyone said.

"So enthusiastic, well, believe me, that day won't be too far away." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, Tian Ke testified, he was just talking casually, but now he was also ignited by everyone's enthusiasm.

After a few jokes, Lin Yuquan continued to chat with Ning Hao about the topic of "Nightclub".

"Speaking of which, it's a waste to let Sun Honglei play those supporting roles, he has the ability to play the starring role." Ning Hao suddenly said with emotion that in "Nightclub", Sun Honglei was selected by him as the actor of the robber.

"It's a bit of a waste." Lin Yuquan nodded, in addition to playing the male number one Yang Liqing in "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", after Sun Honglei joined the Yuquan family, this year's works on the big screen are all supporting roles, the assassin leader Yan Xiaoguo in "October Siege", Qiu Rubai in "Mei Lanfang", the robber in "Nightclub", and the physical education teacher in his "Immediate Rescue".

Although there is one large-scale series of dramas a year, the male number one, and four are destined to be important supporting actors in high-profile movies, such treatment, even popular actors such as Liu Ye, Chen Kun, and Lu Yi are also red-eyed, but Sun Honglei, like Xu Zheng and Liu Ye, has the ability to star, and only the leading actor can completely radiate his charm and maximize the effect.

"It's a pity that there is no script suitable for him, I think he is suitable for playing a tough guy in an action movie or an upstart boss in an urban drama, this kind of film, we haven't made a dawning movie yet, but we can try it next year." Lin Yuquan did not shy away from everyone and said that everyone present was either a good friend who was close to him, or the most popular actor and actress in the company, this is not an unspoken rule, what is there to hide.

"Well, yes, it's pretty much the same thing I thought, and I think he's a good fit for this kind of role." Ning Hao said with a smile.

Everyone who was listening to the conversation between the two on the side secretly sighed at Sun Honglei's good luck, obviously, listening to Lin Yuquan's meaning, he wanted to praise Sun Honglei as the protagonist, Shuguang Production, it must be a high-quality product, and the actor of the movie produced by Shuguang Film, this is extraordinary.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin's eyes showed a strong look of envy, but envy is envy, they are self-aware, although they are popular, they do not have the ability to carry the box office alone, and they also need more sharpening in their acting skills.

In the midst of everyone's conversation and laughter, it was soon time for lunch, and the table was full of local specialties made by Jiang Yan's parents and Wang Luodan's sister, such as stewed pork with dried plum vegetables, drunken chicken, clear soup and chicken, pot-wrapped meat, air-dried beef, and poured meat, which made everyone addicted to eating.

After lunch. Then they took their leave. Everyone including Zhu Yawen, Xiao Yang, and Ning Hao needed to go back and pack their luggage. In the evening, everyone flies to New Zealand for a holiday in Queen's Town.

Originally, Lin Yuquan was going to go out on vacation with Yifei and Shi Shi for this break, and then call other friends later, but Yifei leaked his mouth and let Wang Luodan and Jiang Yan know that he had bought a private jet and had plans to take a private jet to New Zealand for a vacation.

The two daughters, who were curious about his private jet and were deeply attracted by the beautiful natural scenery of New Zealand while watching "Wild Savage: Rise of the Ape Race", naturally wanted to go along.

Although he could go to New Zealand in two parts, it would be a hassle to do so. So he simply called Ning Hao and the others to accompany him, but it was a pity that the three-person world he was looking forward to was also in vain.

Lin Yuquan's handsome G550 car naturally won the praise of everyone, and when everyone started their vacation in Queenstown, a tourist resort in New Zealand, the preparations for "Immediate Rescue" were also carried out in an orderly manner.

Shuguang Film took the lead in officially announcing the information of "Immediate Rescue" on the official website and Xinglang Entertainment, Xiao Ran, who is well versed in publicity, will naturally not be stupid to release all the information at once, and the first wave of information released is extremely simple, which roughly means: "Lin Yuquan's earthquake disaster movie "Immediate Rescue" began to be produced, and it is still an all-round self-written, self-directed and self-acting, I believe it will definitely bring new excitement, so stay tuned." ”

Nevertheless. When reporting on Lin Yuquan's new film preparation plan, major media gave "Immediate Rescue" a lot of space. With the subsequent announcement of more information, the media and fans in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places suddenly fell into a boil.

"Kyoto Daily" with the title of "Lin Yuquan's new work "Immediate Rescue" set sail": "When everyone is worried about the new work of Lin Yuquan's earthquake disaster, a few days ago, the answer was finally revealed, this movie called "Immediate Rescue" still continues Lin Yuquan's consistent route, written by him, directed and starring, it is reported that Liu Yifei, Liu Ye, Xu Zheng, Wang Luodan will join the starring, and the investment in the film has not yet been finalized, but at least above 80 million US dollars. ”

There is a reason for the media and fans in the two sides of the strait to be excited and crazy, the biggest reason is undoubtedly Lin Yuquan's new work, followed by popular stars such as Liu Yifei and Xu Zheng, and the investment of more than 80 million US dollars is also a reason, although the investment of 80 million US dollars in "Immediate Rescue" can only be regarded as a medium-cost production in today's Hollywood, but this investment is extremely remarkable in the Chinese-speaking region and in the Asian region, surpassing the 70 million US dollars of "The King of Kung Fu". In one fell swoop, it became the highest-funded Chinese film.

In contrast, reports in Europe and the United States mainly focus on "Immediate Rescue" is Lin Yuquan's new work, and instead of being excited about the star lineup and investment budget that have excited the domestic media and fans, they are full of worries, just like the "Los Angeles Times" said in its report: "The same earthquake disaster movie, Roland. Emmerich's "2012" invested as much as 200 million US dollars, while "Immediate Rescue" was only 80 million US dollars, although the investment does not represent the box office, but it can reflect how many special effects, and the disaster special effects scene is precisely the biggest attraction of disaster movies, is the core element to attract fans and audiences, which has to worry that the box office of "Immediate Rescue" is difficult to compare with "2012".

Not only that, Kung Fu Lin has created Chinese-language films, and it is also a miracle for non-English films, maintaining Chinese-language films, and also the top two non-English films at the global box office, "Painted Skin" is $461 million, "Red Cliff" is $413 million, and as a Chinese-language film, can "Immediate Rescue" exceed $500 million? Even if Kung Fu Lin has a strong influence bonus of more than $500 million, it must be difficult to go far in the box office journey, and everyone knows that after "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" set a box office myth, everyone's expectations for him are very high. ”

As for the other participating actors, well, the media in Europe and the United States almost didn't mention it, and only a few media put stills of Lin Yuquan and Liu Yifei hugging each other affectionately in "Red Cliff", as well as stills of Wang Luodan in "Painted Skin", mentioning that this is Lin Yuquan and the two of them working together again after "Red Cliff".

Although there are very few such reports, Liu Yifei and Wang Luodan, who have seen the report, are excited, it is too difficult for Chinese actors to go abroad, especially in Europe and the United States, Zhu Yawen, Jiang Yan, and Luo Jin are undoubtedly very envious and jealous of this, it is foreseeable that after "Immediate Rescue", the second daughter's global popularity will be greatly improved, and she may become an international star.

Lin Yuquan did not respond to the media and fans' concerns about the box office of "Immediate Rescue", to be honest, he didn't care at all whether "Immediate Rescue" could surpass "2012" and whether it could exceed $500 million? Since a long time ago, the box office has not been the focus of his consideration, and his choice to shoot a movie like "Immediate Rescue" is more out of a strong desire in his heart.

And there is no need to respond, does it make sense to respond? Facts will prove everything, and only facts can prove it conclusively, and he believes that as long as the work is photographed well, he will definitely get everything he deserves.

Negotiations with IMAX Entertainment have been very smooth, and although IMAX has evolved over the years, until this year, Hollywood studios produced up to six or seven IMAX films a year, and this was the result of IMAX Entertainment's constant lobbying of major Hollywood studios.

Because the cost of copying is so high, the cost of copying 2D films is as high as 30,000 US dollars, and the cost of copying 3D films is as high as 60,000 US dollars.

In the past, the film weight of an IMAX movie was 250 kg, and in the case of an IMAX 3D film, the copy weight can reach 500 kg. If it is an ordinary film film and the box office in the hall is not ideal, it can also be converted to a small hall for screening. But for IMAX movies, changing the hall is an impossible task, not only the equipment is not compatible, the film is too bulky, and the process of handling is also quite cumbersome.

And although since this year, due to digitalization, the production cost of IMAX has been reduced to $500, and the weight of IMAX movie copies has also been greatly reduced, so that the number of IMAX movies is expected to increase rapidly from next year.

But there is an opportunity to work with Lin Yuquan, the most popular director today, how could IMAX Entertainment miss it, after all, the best way to enhance the influence of IMAX is undoubtedly those films that have attracted much attention, so IMAX Entertainment has been committed to cooperating with well-known directors over the years.

Now that Lin Yuquan took the initiative to send it to the door, IMAX Entertainment Company of course couldn't ask for it, not only did it feel difficult, but agreed to cooperate with the filming of "Immediate Rescue".

After that, IMAX Entertainment announced that it would cooperate with Lin Yuquan to shoot IMAX "Immediate Rescue" as soon as possible, so please look forward to the extremely shocking IMAX big screen audio-visual effects.

In this regard, fans naturally cheered, needless to say, the extraordinary special effects of Lin Yuquan's movie, coupled with the IMAX big screen, it is really exciting to think about.

Especially for domestic media and movie fans, because "Immediate Rescue" is not only the first IMAX version of the film in China, but also the world's first IMAX film produced in non-North America, in addition to a record investment, it once again opens a new chapter in Chinese films.

However, while many preparations were going smoothly, Lin Yuquan ran into trouble with the special effects of the movie. (To be continued......)
