Lin Yuquan didn't expect John. Powell would have agreed to meet so happily, just since he came to Hollywood, he moved from London, England to Los Angeles, so in the evening, he met the bespectacled, garlic-nosed, uncle-next-door film score master at a Beverly Hills café.
"Hello, Mr. Powell, heh, I didn't expect to see you so soon." Lin Yuquan's face was filled with a sincere smile, which was completely from the bottom of his heart.
"Hello, Lin, in fact, if you are any filmmaker in Hollywood today, after receiving your invitation, you will definitely be as eager to meet you as I am, and I really feel incredible, I didn't expect to receive your invitation." John. Powell smiled heartily after shaking hands with Lin Yuquan.
"Mr. Powell, are you talking about me, or are you talking about Steven. Spielberg, James. Cameron and other top directors! I'm just a young director from China who has just come to Hollywood, but I don't have as much influence as them. Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly.
"Huh." John. Powell laughed out loud.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yuquan cut to the chase very naturally, and said with a smile: "Presumably John, you have been?" Guess what I invited you for! ”
"Of course, in fact, there is no need to guess, we didn't know each other before, and Lin invited me to meet for nothing other than the soundtrack of the movie. There was a lot of speculation about Lin, what genre your first Hollywood movie was. There has been no conclusion. It's just that according to your approach, Weta Digital thought it would be a big production, but I didn't expect it to be an action movie, but since you are making an action movie, why did you find Weta Digital to do special effects? "John. Powell looked confused.
How can he not wonder that the high cost of Weta digital special effects is recognized in the film industry, unlike industrial light and magic, which does not take on small projects. This can be seen from the "Lord of the Rings Series", "King Kong" and the signed "Avatar", the average action movie can not afford that kind of cost, even if a big-budget action movie like "Mission Impossible" has enough funds, but there is no need to find Weta Digital to do it, after all, action movies are not magic, science fiction, comic book hero movies, and the special effects used are generally not too much, and the difficulty is not too high.
"Hehe, it's not weird, in fact, I asked Weta Digital to do special effects for my other movie, and I'll shoot it after I finish the action movie "Hurricane Rescue". And the special effects of "Hurricane Rescue" were handed over to Industrial Light & Magic. Lin Yuquan smiled.
"Oh, that's right. No wonder, no wonder. "John. Powell understood, and then looked at Lin Yuquan with strange eyes: "It's equivalent to saying that you are preparing two movies at the same time, others are guessing what your first Hollywood is, who knows that you even have a second part planned, this speed, tsk, Spielberg They should be nervous, not only one Nolan is chasing, and soon there will be another kung fu forest." ”
"I don't have that much ambition, I just want to make movies that I like." Lin Yuquan laughed: "How is it, do you have time recently?" Let's work together once and make a wonderful action movie like "Spy". ”
"If I don't have time, I won't come to see you, it just so happens that I have been busy with "Spy Shadow" recently, and I won't be busy with "Kung Fu Panda" until the second half of the year, to be honest, I'm very much looking forward to working with Lin You, oh my God, Kung Fu Lin's action movie, after this news is announced later, action fans are estimated to be excited to death, and I believe that Lin's goal is definitely not just as wonderful as "Spy Shadow", but surpassing, but unique, it is really my honor to be involved in such a movie." John. Powell smiled, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Oh, with your promise, I can finally put my mind at ease, if you refuse me again, I really don't know who to turn to." Lin Yuquan smiled comfortably.
"Listen to you, you found someone else before!" John. Powell was not angry, and said with a smile, this is normal in the film industry.
"Well, I was looking for Hans at first. Zimmer, but his schedule for this year is so full that he really can't spare time, and then I think again, apart from him, only you are the most suitable. Lin Yuquan didn't hide it.
"It's true that he has quite a few movies on hand." Will and Hans. Zimmer collaborated on "Kung Fu Panda" by John. Powell nodded, and he and Hans. Zimmer was a good friend of Hans. Zimmer's situation can be described as quite clear: "Speaking of which, I have to thank him well, if he wasn't too busy, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to cooperate with you." ”
"If you say that, then I should thank him too, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to work with you, at least not in the movie "Hurricane Rescue." Lin Yuquan smiled.
"yes, let's work together and let Hans know what a great movie he's missing." John. Powell clapped his hands and laughed.
Lin Yuquan then took out the script and John. Powell chatted, of course, this is just a simple communication, and you need to find another time to go to John. Powell's music studio specific communication.
After a twist and turn, I finally got John. Powell, after successfully forming the crew, Lin Yuquan followed and met Dandy the next day. Ferrety, Vare. Pfister and the main members of the crew communicated in detail the shooting details of "Hurricane Rescue" in terms of costumes, props, art and use of special effects, and then immersed themselves in researching the script, writing the director's elaboration and creating the storyboard script.
While the director team was busy selecting scenes and the art team was busy making props and costumes, Lin Yuquan did not delay Zhang Luo's final and most important actor audition.
The most exciting part of "Hurricane Rescue" is that Tang Feng, played by Lin Yuquan, competes to the death with criminals in order to save Kate. Statham, Duff. Lange, Bruce. Willis, Arnold. Schwarzenegger, Dawn. Johnson, Fan. Diesel, everyone may not have many scenes, but they will present the most extreme action scenes that they are good at.
Stallone will play Lin Yuquan's teammate when he was doing CBI. It mainly provides clues for Lin Yuquan. And help in the final Armageddon with the villain.
And except for Stallone and others. The remaining roles in the film need to be auditioned, and the most important thing is the role of Kate.
Compared to "Twilight: Twilight", since most of the main characters have already been selected, the audition for "Hurricane Rescue" is not too grand, but it is arranged in a café near Summit Entertainment, but despite this, the scene is not inferior to "Twilight".
Just like Chris. Anderson, John. Powell et al. said. Summit Entertainment announced that Lin Yuquan's new film "Hurricane Rescue" began auditions, and this film is an action film and Jason . Statham, Duff. Lange, Bruce. Willis, Arnold. Schwarzenegger, Dawn. Johnson, Fan. After Diesel and other popular action actors and even action superstars have joined, they immediately set off extremely huge waves in the United States, no, in many parts of the world, becoming the most watched film in the world.
Can it go unnoticed? Who is Lin Yuquan, a young director who has risen strongly with three movies, won four Oscars in two years, has a net worth of over 100 million, and is the boss of several companies. These are all of him, and he's one of the most anticipated action actors in the world today. I still remember the kung fu storm set off by "Huo Yuanjia" at the beginning, I still remember the cool and incredible kung fu uploaded to Youtobe, I still remember the shock of Lin Yuquan in "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin", although Lin Yuquan did not show it in person, he guided other actors, and I still remember the shock of Lin Yuquan defeating Schwarzenegger, Stallone and others, for Lin Yuquan's action movie, too many people have been looking forward to it for too long, and now it has finally come.
What's more, in addition to Lin Yuquan, there are also Stallone, Schwarzenegger and others to join, and one or two of them will be pulled out to star in an action movie, which will make the film attract much attention, and all of them plus Lin Yuquan, such a cast is undoubtedly the strongest so far, a strong and almost outrageous action movie cast, in the face of such a film, it is said that action movie fans, even those who have never been interested in action movies will be sideways!
After this news was announced, the audition for "Hurricane Rescue", which did not have too many important roles, attracted a large number of actors registered with the Actors' Guild to audition, and at the same time, a large number of media reporters who came to report gathered a large number of media reporters.
"Yo, John, you're here too." Among the media reporters who pushed the push, a tall white reporter said to a tall, thin black reporter in front of him.
"Am I strange to come? You're not here too. The tall, lanky black reporter shrugged casually.
"Yes, it's not strange at all, Kung Fu Lin's much-anticipated new film audition didn't come to report, that's weird!" The white reporter laughed.
"Indeed, I really didn't expect Kung Fu Lin's first Hollywood movie to be an action movie, Brint, what about you?" The black journalist lamented.
"I didn't expect it either, but now that I think about it, isn't it the most appropriate thing for Kung Fu Lin to make action movies? After all, Kung Fu Lin first came to Hollywood to make films, and his first purpose must be to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood with films, so his first Hollywood movie must be to seek stability, and he must be what he is best at, and action movies are not what Kung Fu Lin is best at? The white reporter chuckled.
The black reporter's face showed a hint of disapproval, Kung Fu Lin is not only good at action movies, whether he is shooting epic wars like "Red Cliff" or fantasy movies like "Painted Skin", he can gain a foothold in Hollywood, and it is too easy for Kung Fu Lin to gain a foothold, which is certainly not the reason for him to shoot action movies in the first place.
Of course, he didn't say this, but the expression on his face became a little strange: "Don't you think it's strange, since it's an action movie, why did Kung Fu Lin look for Weta Digital?" ”
"What's so strange about this, maybe we think too much, Kung Fu Lin is going to New Zealand, but it's not necessarily looking for Weta Digital, maybe he is going to New Zealand for a vacation, saying that the scenery in New Zealand is really beautiful, Kung Fu Lin is not a machine, he also needs time to rest, it's not impossible for him to go on vacation." The white reporter said disapprehantly.
"Heh, you're talking about possibilities, but I always think it's not that simple, there must be something behind this, we don't know." The black reporter shook his head, his instinct telling him that Kung Fu Lin must have gone to New Zealand to find Weta Digital, and it must have been for the special effects of the movie.
At a time when reporters were talking. The actors who came to audition were also chatting in groups while waiting.
"Hey. Christine. Do you feel that everyone looks at you very strangely? A slightly sweet voice sounded, and it was an energetic beautiful girl who spoke to none other than Christine. Stuart bumped into and then became friends with Catherine. Greeney, as for Christine in her mouth, of course it is Christine. Stewart too.
"What others think of me is someone else's business." Kristen. Stewart said lightly.
"You're so boring, but it's normal for others to see you that way. After all, you are now the actor of Isabella in "Twilight: Twilight", and there are countless people who have attracted attention, and you are the biggest enemy for those who will compete with you for the role, and with you, their hope of winning the role is much smaller, for example, I don't have much hope now. "At the end of the day, Catherine. Greeney looked at Christine. Stewart looked pitiful.
"Less, you. I don't know yet, anyway. Who is there in this world, what is there that can destroy your self-confidence? "Kristen. Stewart pouted.
"You're so unsympathetic, you can't comfort me!" Catherine. Greeney snorted, but this expression was only a matter of the blink of an eye, and then it was replaced by a thick curiosity: "Christine, don't you like to audition everywhere now?" When "Twilight: Twilight" is about to start filming, why did you audition for "Hurricane Rescue" again, is it because of Kung Fu Lin? ”
"Well, I love his movies." Kristen. When Stuart said this, her expression was a little dazed, and her agent said to her very excitedly in her mind, Christine, Kung Fu Lin specially invited you to audition for the heroine of his new movie "Hurricane Rescue", it seems that he is very optimistic about you, you must seize the opportunity.
"Hee-hee, I also like his movies, not only his movies, but also him as a person, oh, in my heart, he is simply perfect, handsome, young and talented, gentle to people, full of wisdom, he has too many advantages in him, I can't count them, if only I could have such a boyfriend." Catherine. Greenie's pretty face was slightly red, and she was even more cute and beautiful.
"You just say you want him to be your boyfriend." Kristen. Stewart said flatly.
"Hmph, what's wrong with what I thought, don't you want to?" Catherine. Greenie wrinkled her cute nose and said coquettishly.
"I'm not as nymphomaniac as you, that's why you didn't have a single audition." Kristen. The corners of Stewart's mouth turned up slightly.
"Who said I didn't have a single audition success, I just happened to be with you when I auditioned." Catherine. Greeney said unconvinced, but looked at Christine. Stewart's eyes were clear, but his heart was very weak.
The café where the audition for "Hurricane Rescue" is on two floors, the first floor is for the auditioners to wait for a break, and the second floor is the audition location.
In addition to Lin Yuquan, who was in charge of the audition, there was also Alex who wrote the screenplay. Kuzman and two members of the director's team.
"I've tried nearly twenty of them, and only this one is called Rita. Julie's, slightly in line with the requirements, but only slightly in line with the requirements. "Alex. Kuzman sighed.
"Take your time, maybe the next one is the Kate we're looking for, inform the next one." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.
"Hopefully!" Alex. Kuzman is clearly not as calm and hopeful as Lin Yuquan.
Soon, the people who came to audition stepped into the room from the staircase, and when they saw the people, Lin Yuquan immediately showed a smile on his face.
"Hello director, I'm Christine. Stewart came to audition for the role of Kate in "Hurricane Rescue". "The person who came was not Christine. Stewart, who is it.
"Hey, you're the one who starred in Isabella in Twilight: Twilight?" Think Kristen. The name Stewart is somewhat familiar to Alex. Kuzman asked uncertainly, having read the report but not looking closely.
"Yes, I am." Kristen. Stewart nodded in response without any evasion.
"Oh! It's really you. "Interesting look at Christine. After Stewart, Alex. Kuzman then turned his head to look at Lin Yuquan, his expression surprised.
Lin Yuquan just smiled faintly, after looking at Christine. After Stewart's last audition in "Twilight: Twilight", he had the idea of letting her play Kate, because Kate's stubbornness and willfulness were very similar to her in a certain way, so he specially notified her to audition, and did not directly decide that she would play the role to see if there was a more suitable candidate than her.
"Now that everyone knows you, Christine, you don't have to introduce yourself, we just started the audition, I think you also watched Kate's character introduction, this is one of the scenes, give you three minutes to brew emotions, and then start acting."
"Okay, director." Kristen. Stuart nodded, and immediately figured out the role after taking the script.
"It's time, Christine, you can start performing!" Lin Yuquan said.
The audition scene is that after Tang Feng's adoptive father and adoptive mother died in an accidental car accident, Tang Feng quit CBI and came back to take care of Kate, in the face of Tang Feng's care, Kate was extremely resistant, and said to Tang Feng very willfully, "I don't need you to take care of you, and you are not my real brother."
This scene can be called the most annoying scene of Kate's cousin, and for Tang Feng, this is poignant to watch, and it can be said that this scene has a crucial role in cousin Xiàn Tang's heroism in saving Kate's later life.
Under the gaze of Lin Yuquan and the four, Christine. Stuart took a deep breath and then began to perform, at this moment, she had completed the role change, completely incarnated as Kate, when she was very disdainful and very casual to say, I don't need you to take care of you, and you are not my real brother, in her body, Kate's kind of willfulness is vividly and vividly.
"Smack." Lin Yuquan applauded excitedly, originally thinking that Christine. Stewart can play well, and after watching her performance again, he is extremely sure of this.
"Alex, what do you think?"
"Great!" Alex. Kuzman said appreciatively.
"What about you?" Lin Yuquan asked the other two again.
"Good."
"The best so far."
Lin Yuquan chuckled and looked at Christine, who was watching him quietly after the performance. Stewart's smile instantly became extraordinarily bright, and he said to the staff standing at the staircase outside the door: "Inform the audition staff that the role of Kate does not need to continue the audition." ”
After a slight pause, Lin Yuquan's gaze stayed on Christine. On Stuart's delicate face, he said leisurely: "Because we already have the most suitable candidate."
