In September, Shao Yingying not only waited for the ratings of "The Walking Dead", but also went to the Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony for a walk, but this time the Best Actor was not him, he was shortlisted for Best Actor, and lost to Zhang Hanyu, "Assembly" won four awards in a row at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Picture.

Shao Yingying's loss is not unjust, just because of the promotion of "Assembly", a rare high-grossing movie with the main theme and "News Network", "Focus Interview" and other programs, winning the award has been finalized for "Assembly", not to mention the move of "100 veterans watching the movie". What's more, "Source Code" has made Shao Yingying the Golden Horse actor and best director, and the result of the mainland award to "Assembly" is not surprising.

Shao Yingying, who can't complain about the awards, can only hope that "The Wind" can let him sweep the major domestic award ceremonies, but the anti-No. 1 doesn't seem to be able to win the 'Best Actor'.

At the beginning of October, the first season of "The Walking Dead" ended, and when the last episode was broadcast, the viewership reached 3.5 million, which is definitely a great number for a TV series that has not yet been supported by big names in the midnight file, and even refreshed the viewership record of the STARZ midnight file, because this number of viewers is beyond imagination, STARZ actually adjusted the broadcast time of "The Walking Dead" to nine o'clock while booking the next season of "The Walking Dead"!

Nine o'clock is the golden time, even if the United States does not have the British habit of going to the bar for a drink before having dinner after work, it will not go to bed at nine o'clock. In other words, "The Walking Dead" is facing a broader market. It's just that Shao Yingying is not interested in this market anymore, even if Harry Sloan once again called to ask Shao Yingying if he couldn't finish filming "Super Body" when he drove out a season of "The Walking Dead". Shao Yingying still chose to refuse.

At this time, many Hollywood media began to blatantly question the ratings after they were exposed.

"What's wrong with the world? Why can a TV series like "The Walking Dead" increase the viewership to 3.5 million at midnight? ”

"Is it a scolding, or is it leading the midnight ratings frenzy, how to interpret the phenomenon of "The Walking Dead"?"

"Shao Yingying has gained national attention with themes that are contrary to the morality of normal people, and telling a deformed story in an abnormal world, how far can "The Walking Dead" go?"

All kinds of news quickly detonated the country, and some entertainment programs took advantage of this hot atmosphere to invite several leading actors of the TV series to understand the story behind it. When the host asked if he paid attention to the mentality of normal people when a few issues in "The Walking Dead" such as "perverted" and "cult" attracted attention with abnormal violence, blood, and bold-sex-love scenes, Andrew Lincoln was obviously a little unhappy.

He said, "Mr. Host, I have a question for me. Are we photographing society in its normal form? Since it is not a normal society, is it possible for the things in the plot to happen without the law as a constraint? ”

"I'll help you answer, even in a normal world where the law is bound, don't these events happen from time to time? Why did it appear in the "The Walking Dead" TV series to become shallow and immoral? What kind of morality do you want? Am I desperately trying to save an old lady who has been besieged by the lost masses? I'm sorry. I'm not Superman. ”

The host's mouth is gagged. He could only ask in a different way: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by children?" ”

"This is a TV series that airs on a pay channel, and it has a rating label, if there are still children who see it, I would like to ask if this is our fault, or is it the result of irresponsible parents?"

Just before Shao Yingying arrived in the United States, what he didn't expect was that Andrew Lincoln had already had a confrontation with the media over the issue of "The Walking Dead", and Shao Yingying would never have thought that the lead bought by Andrew Lincoln would completely detonate at the press conference of his new movie "Superbody".

October. Shao Yingying took Fan Yiyi to Hollywood to form the crew of "Super Body", and Harry Sloan had already helped Shao Yingying complete the signing of Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansson at this time. With these two people, plus Fan Yingyi's performance and Shao Yingying's cameo, at least for all Hollywood media, this has become a movie worth looking forward to in terms of casting, so when Shao Yingying appeared in Hollywood with Fan Yingyi, they quickly fell into the media's encirclement.

At this time, when Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi hid in the hotel like hiding from the chase at Hollywood Airport, in addition to the normal rest time, they didn't even have time to enter the busy work, Fan Yingying needed to correct the English pronunciation problem, and Shao Yingying had to quickly enter the work state and contact the special effects company.

Before Shao Yingying came to Hollywood, he had checked information about the special effects of the movie "Super Body" on his computer, but the information he found was different from the information obtained by viewers who had watched the subtitles of the movie. When Shao Yingying looked up the special effects information of the movie "Super Body" on his computer, the news about Luc Besson and Industrial Light and Magic would instantly appear in front of the screen, which was as breathtaking as a certain monarch with the assistance of a military general, and they were about to join forces to build a super empire.

But in fact, if you dig deeper, you will find another point, because it is impossible for Industrial Light & Magic to allocate people to help "Super Body" complete the special effects system!

The movie "Super Body" was released in 2014, and in 2013, ILM undertook special effects work with at least nine films such as "Special Forces 2", "Star Trek: Dark", "Amazing Demon Thieves", "Pacific Rim", "Red Flame Battlefield 2", such a strong workload, how do you distract ILM to serve "Super Body"? Even if ILM needed the help of GHOST-FX, HYBRIDE, RODEO-FX and BASE-FX to take over the work of Pacific Rim, how could he still work for Superbody?

Meanwhile. Shao Yingying also discovered that Industrial Light & Magic already had the intention of creating a special effects production platform in the United States, and he relied on his monopoly on the large-scale production market to gather other small studios to serve them, just like when advertising companies in mainland China were prevalent. All kinds of advertising companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and then the advertising companies are not doing well, and many small advertising companies have to take over from the big advertising companies to survive.

This has a cheap advantage, since Industrial Light & Magic also uses other people's craftsmanship, so why do you need the name Industrial Light & Magic? This is not a movie like "Transformers" and "Pacific Rim" that has so many CG shots that it runs through the whole film.

So, Shao Yingying found the studio that actually contributed to "Super Body", that is, RODEO Studio. Because all the special effects in "Super Body" are completed by them, not only "Super Body", they are also the main special effects supplier of "Amazing Demon Thieves"!

In a media interview. Nick Brooks once said, "Before we made the deal, director Luc Besson came to visit RODEO-FX, and we showed him around the equipment, and he personally met with some of the technicians who were going to be working together. ”

This Nick Brooks is the special effects supervisor in "Amazing Thieves"!

Other words. Now, it's not just cheaper to find RODEO-FX, a studio that has just been formed and has been involved in the production of special effects for films of the same level as "Compass d'Or", which is not only cheaper than ILM. It also has more experience in undertaking large-scale zuò movies than other special effects companies, although "Super Body" can't afford the title of large-scale zuò in terms of investment volume, however, at this time, RODEO-FX is not the complete main force in "Golden Compass", and the two companies can work together to lay a real sky, which is the main reason why Shao Yingying asked MGM to set RODEO-FX to become the special effects producer of "Super Body".

After meeting with several members of RODEO-FX, Shao Yingying began to work frantically under the leadership of the translator, and his scope of work included setting up the special effects shots in advance, determining the number of shots that needed special effects, and the special effects rendering process. Then several members of the special effects studio drew these drawings and handed them to Shao Yingying to change, and after completing a qiē. All they have to do is wait for Shao Yingying to transmit the captured shots every day, and then render them one shot at a time.

It must be said that during this period, Fan Yiyi was also very busy, busy playing the world in Hollywood, busy practicing English pronunciation, busy working with Hollywood hype companies to increase exposure, etc., don't look at Fan Yiyi and Shao Yingying in the same hotel, but the two of them haven't seen each other in this hotel for two weeks.

When Fan Yiyi thought of Shao Yingying, he sent a message, 'Do you want to eat together?' The text message passed, and as a result, it would not be until the next day to get a 'Okay, what time is it?' Shao Yingying was so busy that he would be pulled back to work immediately after putting down the phone, and he would forget the text message when he turned his head. Shao Yingying's treatment was not much better, and when he finally had time to rest, he just wanted to call Fan Yiyi for intimacy, but found that it was already half past three in the second half of the night...... The next day, when he sent a text message, Fan Ye apologized and told him that he was going to participate in the event, could he change it to three days later......

"No, guys, I don't want Scarlett and Fan to have the same abilities, even though they both got into the brain domain development program because of an accident, but I want their special abilities to be separated, so that the audience can discuss whether the winner is justified. Do you understand? We win by getting the audience into a discussion about the special abilities of the two heroines, and no matter what the audience comes up with, the discussion is fascinating, and there will definitely be people who will become the audience of our film because of these discussions. ”

"We signed an agreement that Scarlett's back is completely naked, and you'd better set up some fire-related superpowers for Fan Yuyi, and at this time, all the clothes on Scarlett's body are burned out...... Why are you looking at me like that? I'll admit I'm evil, but is there any of you who doesn't want to see this kind of footage? ”

This is the communication between Shao Yingying and the special effects technician, he not only wants this movie to be good, but also wants every part of this movie to be full of highlights!

What to look for? It's the attraction, it's the box office, it's the money!

In this way, the preliminary preparations took two weeks to be completely completed, and at this time, the time for Scarlett and Morgan Freeman to join the crew is getting closer and closer, in other words, Shao Yingying must hold a press conference in Hollywood to announce to the world that "Super Body" is about to start filming.

At night, at 11:00, after Shao Yingying dragged his tired body away from the staff of RODEO-FX, he was just about to go back to his room to rest, when he saw an angry figure, she was Fan Yingyi, who had never appeared in front of Shao Yingying.

Fan Yiyi has a huge silver ring hanging on her ears, a silver necklace with very ethnic minority characteristics around her neck, a long black skirt and a silver decorative belt on her body, the moment she comes out of the elevator, she keeps commanding: "Push me the endorsement of cereal, don't show me this kind of contract in the future, do you think I am very suitable for wearing housewife's clothes and holding cereal and showing a sweet smile in the commercial?" Her new entry was so fast that the staff behind her could only jot down every word she said as they followed.

"Also, we can't go to Hollywood and forget the positioning of the name 'Fan Yiyi', who told me yesterday that I want to endorse baby milk powder, can I have a longer brain?"

"Listen, I repeat, the next time I arrange an advertiser to meet, I only see fashion brand manufacturers, international brand manufacturers and participate in fashion activities, now we are in Hollywood, not the mainland, no one in the mainland cares why you have a brand endorsement, as long as you are famous enough, there are still big brands coming to you, this is different, if you want to become the spokesperson of household products, don't expect fashion brands willing to spend money to patronize you, even if you are a frequent visitor to Paris and Milan Fashion Week."

"In the end, I don't care what method you use, you must contact Playboy, before the end of the trip to the United States, I must have finished shooting the cover of Playboy, if they think I am not well-known now, I can spend money to buy it."

"That's all."

When a group of studio personnel behind Fan Yiyi followed her like a little tail for fear of missing something, Shao Yingying turned around and closed the door at this time, and the two passed by so strangely.

"Go back and rest." After giving the order, Fan dismissed his team, and then ......

Tread, tread, tread.

Shao Yingying could hear the sound of high heels passing by his door through the door.

Backbite.

At this moment, a text message came from Shao Yingying's phone, and it was obvious that Fan Yuyi had returned to the hotel room.

"Boss Shao, I have a strict question for you, do you say that if Tang Seng knew the taste of a woman, would he still be determined to take the Western Scriptures?"

Shao Yingying smiled when he saw this, and replied casually: "Demon, if you are seducing my master, you will eat my grandson." ”

"You come, I'll wait for ......"

Hiss!

After reading the last text message, I really couldn't bear it anymore. (To be continued......)
