Chapter 414
Lin Mu is in first class, so it is quieter and more comfortable, and the smile of the flight attendant here is sweeter than that of the economy class outside, so Lin Mu feels that the 'journey' is quite pleasant.
It was already night, and after signing a few shy stewardesses who were squirming and pinching, Lin Mu found that Fan Ye inside had fallen asleep, his hair was scattered and his face was covered, and he was smiling with his lips pursed, maybe he was dreaming. However, Lin Mu drank tea before getting on the plane, and now he is a little excited, and he doesn't feel sleepy at all.
Helped her brush her hair, covered her with a blanket, and Lin Mu picked up the newspaper next to her.
On the front page is an international business news: "Australia and 11 other countries took the lead in submitting exhibition projects for Expo 2012".
Lin Mu took a look at it with a bored mind.
"Expo 2012 will be held at the Louisiana World-Expo in New Orleans, USA, with the theme of 'Leisure in the Age of Technology'."
The newspaper details some of the highlights of this year's Expo, such as 3D televisions, home 3D cameras, tablets, 3D printers, smart glasses, home security systems, watch computers, and autonomous driving systems......
"Leisure in the age of technology?"
Lin Mu felt a bolt of lightning explode in his head.
“imax~~”
Lin Mu quickly looked down, and finally set his eyes on a date: "Exhibition time: May 1 to October 31, 2012." ”
"Maybe I can ...... like this," Lin Mu couldn't help but get excited!
Lin Mu felt that it was a great idea to promote IMAX at the World Expo, but how to sell the project to the country and get the country to agree to take him to the exhibition was a headache.
In the end, Lin Mu was too lazy to spend his brains in this regard, so he directly threw the task to Bi Han and Ke Tuo Company to worry about. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on luck. At present, Huaxia's technology is on par with the United States, leading the world a lot, and there are many technologies that can be used in exhibitions, so it is not easy for IMAX to become an exhibitor.
Lin Mu read the newspaper for more than an hour, and soon arrived at Shonan International Airport. woke up the others, got off the plane, got into the car that came to pick up people, and went straight to Zhangjiajie. The street lights at night are like a long line stretching into the distance, and there are not many cars on the road, so the driver drives fast.
After arriving at the hotel chartered by the Zhangjiajie crew, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the morning, and after taking a shower, he went to sleep directly.
The next day, Lin Mu accompanied Fan Ye to play in Zhangjiajie for a day, during which he met many surprise tourists who came forward to take photos, autographs, etc., fortunately, there were not many tourists on this day, otherwise there would be no need to play.
On the third day, Lin Mu returned to the crew and regained the directing rights. The day after tomorrow, "Iron Man 2" will officially start, so today is the last day of filming for Robert Downey Jr. And now it's filmed about a battle in which scientists rebel against mercenaries fleeing from the base.
"Michelle, wait for the next knock to be a more female man. And take off your clothes and wear a vest, which is a little sexier. ”
"Okay, the director will say whatever he says." Michelle snorted, then winked at the woods.
Lin Mu didn't squint, and complained in his heart: "Here we go again." ”
After Michelle took over the role of the male protagonist's girlfriend in "Fast and Furious", she won a lot of praise among Hollywood female stars with her strong style, and she was about to be promoted to become a first-class female star in Hollywood, and her salary also rose to 3 million US dollars, but she starred in friendship in this movie and symbolically gave 1 million yuan.
Do as Lin Mu commands. Michelle took off the military shirt she was wearing outside, revealing a white vest, but the low-cut vest couldn't hide her plump breasts at all.
There are already crew members whistling, but Michelle is Western, so she won't be ashamed. Instead, he smiled and posed a few poss, with a cold expression, plump and enchanting, but with a sassy temperament.
Lin Mu looked at it: "Yes, although I have taken off my military uniform, the white vest with green military pants makes me look even more heroic." Then he said to another actor, "Ava, when you knock you, make a corpse for me......"
"Haha~~~"
Lin Mu waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone is in place." Check the equipment, recording, photography, lighting ......"
"Lighting group, turn the lights up a little brighter!! Don't shake! ”
After all the groups were ready, Lin Mu began to officially start filming.
"Ready, ready. 3、2、!! ”
"Click!!" The clapperboard closes, and Act 38, Scene 1 begins.
Chutti (Michelle) pushes a food cart into the cell. The caretaker inside (Ava) saw it and clicked a few times on the touch keyboard (there wasn't actually any physical keyboard) and opened the door.
In order to embody high-tech everywhere, Lin Mu set up some actions when shooting, such as keyboard tapping without physical objects. In post-production, Lin Mu will add high-tech full-touch control screens and fully transparent tablets to these actions. In terms of future technology. There have always been many fanatical fans who are fascinated by it.
When Chuti entered, he complained, "I don't think I should have wasted these steaks on these traitors." ”
Ava was unmoved, and said stiffly, "I'll check." Then he looked down and inspected the food truck.
At this time, Chuti approached without a trace, took out a gun and put the muzzle of the gun directly to his head: "Get down!" When he was completely lying on the ground, he punched the pistol down, and Ava made a small gesture of resistance and fainted.
The three people in the cell were pleasantly surprised.
Chutty: "Max! ”
Another chubby actor rushed in. I swiped my card on the door to the cell, and then I quickly pressed a few codes, and the door opened.
“cut!! Pass!! "They are all powerful actors, so they basically didn't make mistakes, although Michelle changed his lines a little. But Lin Mu sounded a little better than the original, so there was no ng.
"Prepare for Game 24!"
This scene is an escape in the corridor, which is very simple and can be filmed in less than half an hour. It took 27 minutes to set up the equipment, and the actual shooting time was only 3 minutes. Then there was the scene of escaping at the airport, and because I had to change to another spacious studio, it took a lot of time to move the equipment and props.
The filming worked until 21 o'clock in the evening, and finally all the clips about Robert Downey Jr. were filmed, which will also be Robert Downey Jr.'s last "Avatar" filming trip.
Before flying back to the United States, Robert Downey Jr. organized a barbecue and played it for a long time until 1 a.m. And the messy barbecue site was directly cleaned up by someone else.
Although Lin Mu was the investor, he did not go to the opening ceremony with Donnie, but called one of the producers of Hope Film and Television to come over.
――――――――――――――
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Day, officially spanning to 2012.
Because one-third of the crew are foreigners and one-quarter are Americans, Lin Mu directly generously gave the crew a two-day holiday, so that they could have a good time and relieve the fatigue caused by long-term filming. And Zhangjiajie is naturally their first choice, so tourists who came to Zhangjiajie in the past few days were surprised to find a lot of people who are a little familiar and suspected of being celebrities.
And Lin Mu also took advantage of this time to browse the beautiful scenery in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park with Fan Ye, during which he naturally met many enthusiastic fans, but fortunately, their quality was very high, and there was no phenomenon of encirclement.
At this time, the global film market has reached the first stage, and the excitement of the old year and the new year, the excitement of festivals, and blockbusters have made countless fans excited and excited!
On December 24, 2011, "Harry Potter 2" was finally released worldwide under the great anticipation, because the first part broke through the great fame, and the second part attracted a large number of fans to watch. On the first day, from the midnight premiere to the official release, the global box office totaled 2.8 billion US dollars, directly breaking the first-day box office record in global film history.
In the following days, it was also very popular, and it successfully won a super high box office of 5.8 billion US dollars in the first week. However, at this time, an obstacle appeared, "The Lord of the Rings 2" was officially released worldwide on December 31, New Year's Day, and the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings 2" was no worse than that of "Harry Potter 2", which brought a great impact to the box office of "Harry Potter 2".
At this time, the trailer of "Transformers 2" has been played, and at the same time, the publicity is also extremely fierce, and it has become the most anticipated movie in North America, the European Union and other regions overnight. The release date of "Transformers 2" has also been set, and on January 20, more than 50 countries around the world will be released.
The three movies are really narrow, and this time they collided together. And the box office predictions for the three movies have also become the focus of heated discussions among fans around the world.
Who is the highest box office this time?? Is it "Transformers" sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai? Or the original No. 1 Lord of the Rings 2? Or the original crane tail "Harry Potter 2"?
However, everyone agrees that "Harry Potter 2" was cut off by "Lord of the Rings 2", and the box office should be greatly affected. However, it is inseparable between "Lord of the Rings 2" and "Transformers 2".
As for how much the final box office can be...... Everyone thinks that it should be unlikely to rush to the $1.3 billion line, let alone match the achievements of the first part, after all, at this time 3D has been popularized and the novelty has passed.
――――――――――――――
January 19th, the 27th day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Zhangjiajie, sunny, wind level 2, it is advisable to go out, fitness, travel.
Zhangjiajie "Avatar" set ......
"Jiang Qiang, put all the cameras in boxes, put them on trucks, and transport them to insurance companies......"
"Lu Dong, have the personnel on duty for the New Year been arranged?"
"Boss, it has been arranged, and at the same time, several main persons in charge have been arranged to be on duty here for one day."
"Don't stand there and watch, you, help, or you won't be able to leave today."
"Director, take a break, I'm so tired!"
"I won't return to China this year, I'll celebrate the New Year in Huaxia, all the local tyrants want to hug their thick legs!!"
"Fuck off!!"
"You can go to me, but the daily rent is 20,000, including food and lodging."
"the slot! You're so dark! ”
"I'm not black, Smith is black!"
"I'll go! I was also shot while lying down! What's wrong with me being black? ”
The set was in full swing at this time, and the crew and actors were chatting and farting while cleaning up the set and packing all the equipment and small props for storage.
This year's Spring Festival came very early, in the past, it was only celebrated in February, but this year it was Chinese New Year's Eve on January 22.
Because the filming progress of "Avatar" was faster than expected, Lin Mu directly announced that the crew would have a six-day holiday, so that the crew and actors could rest and have a good Spring Festival.
"Tomorrow I will form a group to watch "Transformers 2", who will sign up!!"
"I'll go home and go shopping with my wife to buy Spring Festival items, you can get a base!"
"Haha~~~"
The set was filled with joyful laughter.
"Transformers 2" was released worldwide three days before the Spring Festival. When it was released, it immediately caused a wave of queuing to buy tickets, which was no worse than "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", and even worse in China. The first midnight show also had a super high attendance rate, reaching 50% nationwide.
And this movie did not live up to such a hot enthusiasm for watching the movie, when they entered the big theater, before they officially entered the state, the movie began the extremely hot Transformers battle.
Detroit, USA, 22:14 on the same day.
At a chemical plant, at this time, the smoke of gunfire is billowing, the alarm is sounding, and countless people are evacuating in a panic.
"Shocking news, we will provide you with full coverage of how the situation unfolds now due to a serious toxic spill in the suburbs of Detroit."
In the "Transformers 2" in the former time and space, there are many clips of black China, such as the dilapidated Shanghai, all kinds of slogans with backwardness symbols, and Lin Mu couldn't help but scold these Americans when he went to the movie to watch it. So, when Lin Mu was writing the script, he deliberately changed Shanghai to Detroit, and then changed all the things that were originally black Shanghai to black Detroit, which can be regarded as a bad breath for himself and his compatriots.
While the Detroit citizens were holding their noses and panicking, there was a different scene inside the chemical plant, where groups of soldiers jumped out of their cars, including yellows, whites, blacks, and a whole coalition force. In front of them, cars and cars were rushing into the factory.
And Optimus Prime's background confession sounds: "For the past two years, I have led a group of Autobots to form an advance team to form an alliance with humans and work together against our enemy, the Decepticons......, around the world." )
