Chapter 369: "World of Warcraft" Starts Filming
With the change of the wind direction on the Internet, the real media also quickly noticed this, from the beginning of 'to forgive', 'promote positive energy' and the like quickly changed to 'the law is fundamental', 'there is no mercy under the law', the speed of change is jaw-dropping.
Under this limelight, Kim Jun-so's trial soon came, and although Li Lin did not go to the scene, he also saw Kim Jun-so and his parents in the live broadcast of TongguΓ² TV.
His parents are typical Koreans, his mother is married and his children are at home, and his father works in a small company.
On TV, Kim Jun-so's mother howls as if the sky has fallen, while his father blushes and hits Kim Jun-so more than once.
He never thought that his son was actually anti, and he did that kind of stupid thing.
If Li Lin was willing to forgive him, it would be fine, but Li Lin refused to forgive him and sent him to prison against the limelight, which made his parents so angry.
And when the court sentenced Kim Jun-so to three years in prison, Kim Jun-so's mother and father immediately cried, and Kim Jun-so himself was even more stunned.
"According to South Korean law, the following verdict was made: Kim Jun-so was sentenced to three years in prison for attempted homicide."
After the expressionless judge announced the verdict, the reporters present all understood Li Lin's ruthlessness.
It's just a death threat letter, and his lawyer actually secretly changes the concept and says that it is an attempted murder, but they can't match the lawyer's clever mouth.
If you want to fight, OK. Hire a lawyer, but is it so easy to get a lawyer? In South Korea, a lawyer is a very expensive profession. Inviting a well-known lawyer to fight a lawsuit against Li Lin's lawyer team, how can it be millions of won per game, and it is obvious that once it gets into endless strife, this number will increase exponentially.
Less than a year is enough to bankrupt a normal family, and there are no two or three years to win this lawsuit?
Journalists aren't that kind.
Under everyone's attention, Kim Jun-so cried and shouted that he was taken to prison. All the antis who saw this scene were terrified.
"It's terrible, is it so scary for foreign artists? Sending Kim Jun-so to prison is not just a death threat letter? β
"No wonder there are no anti-organizations abroad. These foreign stars are simply not people, and they don't have a generous temperament at all. β
"It's better to be a star in our own country, who will forgive us, no. It's their cowardly ....... β
Anti forum. Countless anti-agents are discussing the implications of this matter.
In the past, they hurt celebrities, and those celebrities would forgive them generously, even if they went in, that is, they were detained for a few days and dozens of days, and there was no one like this who was sentenced to three years.
At this time, they also realized that hurting celebrities was also a crime.
Suddenly, the popularity of the entire anti forum dropped by more than a notch. Many righteous words, claiming that they are not used to watching celebrities, hating celebrities, and wanting to hurt them have disappeared.
After Kim Jun-so went in. Li Lin left South Korea as soon as possible, but he did not go to Huaxia, but flew directly to the United States to prepare for "World of Warcraft".
"World of Warcraft" is different from the TV series he has acted in in the past, he has basically watched those TV series and knows what role should be used with what acting skills, and "World of Warcraft" has always been rumored to be filming in his previous life, but the movie has not come out for a long time.
And this movie, as his first shot into the film industry, can only succeed, not fail.
"Peter. Mr. Jackson, can you sue me Anduin. Why did Lothar choose a model? β
In the crew, Li Lin directly acted as an investor to Peter. Jackson questioned.
Anduin. Lothar, the seventh president of the Iron Horse Brotherhood, regent of the Kingdom of Azeroth, and the supreme commander of the Lordaeron Alliance, is a very important character in World of Warcraft.
However, on the cast, Peter. Jackson was actually expected to take Travis. Fermier.
Travis. Fermier, a model under Chadwick Modeling Agency, after reading the model's information, Li Lin admitted that this model is indeed very popular and has many fans in Europe and the United States.
But please note that this is a model, and you let the model star in the movie, and it is also a model who has only done TV shows on TV to star in the movie, Li Lin can't imagine it.
Yes, there is such a concept as excavating newcomers in the film and television industry, but the premise of excavating newcomers is that the newcomer has acting skills and was born in school, or that the newcomer has been doing tricks for many years and has his own set of acting skills, and, generally speaking, movies with large investments will not tap newcomers.
And it is obvious that a movie like "World of Warcraft" with an investment of 100 million belongs to the ranks of big investments.
Peter. Jackson glanced at Li Lin and recognized Li Lin as an investor, his face was a little better, "He is very suitable for Anduin. The character of Lothar. β
"Fit? How suitable? Li Lin looked at Peter playfully. Jackson, no point to Peter. Jackson's respect.
If he is acting, he will definitely respect it, because respecting a director in the crew is the most basic courtesy, but now it is different, he is an investor, so he can't respect the director.
The right to choose a role is a very important right, not only for directors, producers, and even investors, but the right to choose a role in the United States is regulated by the actors' unions, and once there is anything shady, it will immediately encounter a counterattack from the actors' unions.
But even so, there is still something to be done in it.
For example, after an interview, the director chooses a person with poor acting skills to play the role, and then gives the reason that he is suitable, can your actors' union still rule that the director abused his rights because of this?
If you want to adjudicate, you can come up with evidence first, and if you don't have evidence, you will be directly sued for defamation, and you will be anxious about it.
"He is the face of Calvin Klein, he has a wide reputation in the world, and he is also interested in developing as an actor, and his addition can make "World of Warcraft" more popular." Peter. Jackson didn't have the slightest fear, "And that's what producer Cameron was aware of." β
"I didn't expect Peter, the father of the Lord of the Rings. Jackson also began to go the business route. Li Lin quipped, but there was no more trouble.
In any case, the interests of the entire crew are the same, that is, the movie is a big hit.
Under this common interest, some small interests are divided.
For example, the choice of actors.
Peter. Jackson's choice of a model without any acting skills to play an important role in it is in itself a testament to Peter. Jackson's desire for casting rights, maybe Cameron is involved.
Don't think that great directors are saints.
In fact, everyone has different interests.
To use an analogy, Cameron became a producer, and what should he do when an actor who had worked happily with him in the past approached him and asked him to recommend him for a role?
To give or not to give face?
If you don't give face, others say that he is too unkind, what if others refuse to invite celebrities to come over to act in the future? You must know that actors are also human beings, and if you offend them, even if you are a great director, they dare to refuse.
But there are some roles that are only suitable for that actor.
For example, Donnie of Iron Man. Robert Jr., no one knows whether he made Iron Man or Iron Man made him, but there is no doubt that Iron Man has fixed Donnie in the hearts of the audience. Little Robert, whoever else plays the audience will not buy it.
In this way, the casting right is very important, not only the director, the producer, but also the investor, a role, the director says it doesn't count, the producer and the director add up to say it, but if the investor opposes it, even the producer and director together are useless.
In the same way, if the director and producer don't agree with the person who is stuffed in by the investor, it will be difficult for that person to actually act even if he comes in.
"Durotan by Toby. Played by Kebell? β
"Medivan by Ben. Foster played? β
"Khadgar by Ben. Played by Schneizer? β
"Ryan. King Ureon by Dominic. Cooper played? β
"O'Grim by Robert. Kaczynski? β
"The Black Hand by Clancy. Played by Brown? β
"Gul'dan is played by Li Lin as ......"
Gul'dan, the initiator of the Shadow Council, is one of the key figures in sowing chaos in Azeroth, a standard villain, and a shameful traitor.
"I'm going to play the villain?"
Li Lin was a little speechless.
On the list of actors, there are indeed many people from his company, but all of them are supporting roles, and he is still a villain.
It's not that he doesn't like to play a villain, but his first Hollywood debut was a villain, and he will be labeled as a villain in the future, and when other companies come to him to act, his first reaction is a villain, which is very unfavorable to him.
"You know, Europeans and Americans are not so receptive to Asians." Peter. Jackson saw that Li Lin didn't pick too many thorns on the list, but it was rare to put down the work at hand to explain to Li Lin, "If you really want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, I suggest that you start with a supporting role, so that American fans will slowly accept you." β
"Okay!"
Li Lin also accepted Peter. Jackson's opinion, anyway, those predecessors who went to Hollywood started with supporting roles, and it is not unacceptable for him to start with supporting roles.
"I don't have any problem with the cast list, when will it be turned on?"
"Just two weeks later." Peter. Jackson said: "You can go to the producer to sign the contract, be careful of some of the pitfalls, but I think as an investor, no one should dare to make traps in the contract." β
"Of course."
Li Lin smiled confidently, since he is an investor and a shareholder of Universal Films, he is confident that no one dares to manipulate him in the contract. (To be continued......)
