"Director Lin. I've found that we all have a lot in common. Michael said to Lin Mu while drawing the picture of the photoshoot.

"Really??" Lin Mu smiled sideways.

"Like you, I don't like to be constrained by scripts, I like to try to optimize it according to the actual situation when shooting, and make it more perfect. There are quite a few serious directors who don't like this, thinking that it will ruin the entire script, and Hollywood scripts are provided by production companies. As a director, there are very few places to change, and I hate it. ”

"Ahaha~~ We do this to prove that we are all geniuses......" Lin Mu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he gave himself and the other party a sycophant. After this period of getting along, Michael Bay belongs to the kind of more open-minded. A very casual person, this kind of person is quite suitable for Lin Mu's personality and stomach.

When Lin Mu said this, Michael Bay also laughed.

After laughing, Michael glanced at Lin Mu, who was in a more cheerful mood, and put forward an idea that he thought of during this time: "By the way, Director Lin, I have an idea, I like horns, I think there are horns in my hands, I roar more easily, and the actors and staff can also hear it more clearly, so can you buy more than a dozen speakers for the crew and give them to the person in charge of each module?" ”

Lin Mu touched his chin, which had grown a lot of beard, muttered for a second, and replied, "I think it's okay, okay!" Just buy a dozen horns as you say!! ”

Lin Mu's consent made Michael Bay feel a sense of respect, and when he came here, he was afraid of going to a foreign land. I would be rejected by others, and I didn't expect to be respected by Lin Mu from the beginning. And although the others have not seen his ability, they also give him enough respect because of the woods. Make all kinds of suggestions, and others will not refute them as long as they are reasonable.

"Although the experience of actors and filmmakers is not as rich as that of Hollywood, they have exactly the same love for movies."

Michael felt the positive, studious, attentive, and hard-working state of the crew members around him, and thought to himself: "Huaxia is a good place, but I used to think badly." ”

Although the movie has achieved certain results in the box office list, although there are dozens of movie stars in China who are developing in Hollywood, and although there are tens of thousands of Chinese Americans working for Hollywood, in the hearts of Hollywood filmmakers, Huaxia is still a movie wilderness. Even many people are spitting on Chinese movies.

It turns out that although Michael Bay does not spurn Chinese movies, he always looks down on them a little, which is why he was invited to Huaxia to become the assistant director of the world-famous "Transformers" so entangled. Now that I'm here, I feel that the whole film production team is pretty good, and I have changed my original impression.

"When I go back to Hollywood in the future, it seems that I need to give a good promotion to Chinese movies, and at least help Director Lin increase his popularity." Michael Bay looked at the director, who was younger than himself, and thought to himself.

Lin Mu didn't know that he had convinced a big director who was destined to be famous all over the world with his actions at this time, and he was telling the crew members to buy a loudspeaker.

Less than half an hour. The horn was loosened, and a total of fifteen were bought, and each of the main responsible persons had one for each person, and after getting it. couldn't help but shout with a loudspeaker, making the rest of the crew and the onlookers laugh.

――――――

Just as "Transformers" was filming in an orderly manner, it was far away at the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings" in East Garilo National Park, New Zealand. At this time, Alfonso Cuarón, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", and the crew members were discussing Lin Mu's "Transformers".

Alfonso Cuarón was holding a local New Zealand entertainment newspaper, and on the side of the newspaper was the news of the press conference of "Transformers" - "Transformers has been announced. Director Lin Mu claims that a new generation of 3D technology will be applied, and at the same time, he will cooperate with the Huaxia military. Create the most peak pleasure * masterpiece! ”

Because New Zealand was once colonized by the British, its official language is English, so it is easy to read, and the newspaper details some of the materials that started filming "Transformers", from CG to supercomputers to 3D to military cooperation.

Alfonso Cuarón pinched his temples and said with a headache: "I originally thought that "Transformers" would not be a threat to our movie, after all, we shot in 3D format this time, but I didn't expect Huaxia to be able to produce a 3D." ”

"Hey, Huaxia? 3d？ Don't tease~~" Another mature short man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek who was only 14 meters tall said mockingly.

Hearing this, Pachira, the producer of "The Lord of the Rings", glanced at him and said, "If it were someone else, I might still have confidence, but if it was Lin Mu, I wouldn't have confidence, you don't know him." ”

Pazira is a Paramount, and her competitor in the production team is Lin Mu Connector, who is familiar with Lin Mu.

For Lin Mu, Pazira is still quite familiar, from the time the "Transformers" comic appeared, Paramount set his eyes on it, wanting to get the film copyright, and then started a 7-year 'love and hate' cooperation with Hope Film and Television. Correspondingly, Paramount will naturally pay great attention to Lin Mu, a famous director and screenwriter, and the company has long established an analysis file.

Therefore, Pazira naturally did not take Lin Mu's works lightly, and said to others: ""Transformers" has appeared in comics since 2002, and the original creator is this director Lin Mu. At that time, we Paramount took a fancy to this script, but Lin Mu refused. Now that I've been waiting for so long, filming has finally started, but unfortunately with the Chinese military, our Hollywood company can't get involved. ”

"And Lin Mu made this movie, with his habit of taking precautions all along, it is naturally impossible to fight an unprepared battle, so the 3D technology he said must be mature, but I don't know how many advantages and disadvantages there are compared to the 3D technology we use now."

The producers who hold the power have said so, and others naturally dare not listen.

At this time, Alfonso Cuarón suddenly said: "By the way, I seem to have heard that there seems to be a Chinese man who wanted to buy the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" at that time. Well, it seems that Harry Potter had the same experience. Could it be this person, right? ”

When the others heard this, they were shocked: "There is still such a thing?? ”

Pazira looked around at the others. Nodding, as a middle and high-level member of Paramount, he naturally said some internal secret branches: "It's really him, I heard that he contacted the descendants of the father of fantasy and Miss J.K. Rowling a year in advance, and wanted to buy the movie rights." ”

"Then why didn't he get the copyright?" A person asks a curious question, and only realizes that it is wrong when he asks it just now, because they are Chinese, and "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" are both European, and there is a big cultural gap. It can't be a Chinese to play a European. A few years ago, I heard that no actor acted in the Chinese masterpiece "Journey to the West", but he was sprayed useless by the Chinese people, and he complained to the point.

There was silence for a long time. Alfonso Cuarón sighed: "If this is really the case, then this person's cinematic sense of smell is too terrifying to be underestimated." ”

Pazira also nodded: "Indeed, the success of his, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Biochemical Apocalypse" series is not accidental, I heard that there are many high-grossing movies in his company that have his shadow. ”

The others couldn't help but put away their contempt for the woods.

"Do you say that the power of fate is very strong, this Lin Mu has been eyeing the three films "The Lord of the Rings", "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" from the beginning, and as a result, these three movies have started filming this year. And it's the same 3D movie again, and it's definitely all going to be released together next year, and they've all collided. ”

The crowd thought about it. Nodding his head again and again.

"The good news. We started filming in February. And "Transformers" only started filming in August, so the schedule is definitely not as fast as ours. So we just have to worry about Harry Potter competing with us. Both crews can be said to be holding their breath at this time and want to finish filming ahead of schedule. Got the title of the first 3D movie blockbuster.

Coincidentally, the crew of "Harry Potter 1" directed by Cameron is also paying attention to the specific situation of the Chinese movie "Transformers" at this time. Almost the same comment was made.

The final conclusion is that "Transformers" is not threatening, and "The Lord of the Rings" is the enemy.

What they don't know is. In fact, Lin Mu could have started up a long time ago, and the CG and special effects work of "Transformers" started as early as February. So it's not much slower than "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in terms of progress. In addition, the crew and team of "Transformers" are larger than the production teams of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", so it should be able to buy a little time.

Therefore, it is very likely that "Transformers" will be completed and released before these two movies.

Relative to the vigilance of the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". Universal, Paramount, Warner, and Vita Data, the special effects company that worked on the two films, see a difference.

3D movie projection is different from 2D movie projection, the projector is different (two holes), and the screening hall is different (two holes).

After the production of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", you can't use 2D projectors and theaters. Therefore, the renovation of cinemas had to be put on the agenda of several companies. American theaters are okay to say. The biggest headache for them is that Huaxia, a country where the planned economy still plays an important role, wants to transform its theater chain, which is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

However, the film market in China is extremely huge, and it is a pity to give up.

At this time, Hope Film and Television announced that they would also use 3D to shoot "Transformers", and they immediately thought of a solution: "Let Hope Film and Television Company preside over the transformation of theaters in the Huaxia region." ”

――――――――

After the Transformers crew finished filming the main character's car purchase, the filming location began to move to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, where three acts of film clips will be filmed: Act 15 'The protagonist Wang Song tracks his car and discovers that his car has turned into a pedestrian robot', Act 30 'The protagonist is chased to the warehouse by his car and encounters the Decepticons', and Act 50 'Optimus Prime and all the Bo members assemble at the Earth warehouse'.

Act 15 is divided into thirteen scenes, including 'Riding a bicycle to chase a car into the warehouse', 'The car passes through the warehouse', 'The protagonist is chased by a dog', 'Mobile phone message/confession'...... Wait a minute.

The three scenes of 'chasing a car into the warehouse on a bicycle', 'car entering the warehouse', and 'mobile phone message/confession' were effortlessly filmed and passed in one go. It's the 'mobile phone message' that is quite funny: "If you find a love book from under the bed, it's not mine, I'm saving it for Marcy, no, wait...... Well, that's mine, huh...... It was given to me by Uncle Cha, I'm sorry......"

As soon as the people around this line heard it, they almost sprayed rice, and some people couldn't help but think: "This line is full of **** style, and it is estimated that Director Lin personally did it, right?" ”

The easy scenes of Act 15 were all filmed in a day and a half, and the rest were more difficult, such as the scene where he was chased by a dog.

"Crazy? We'll find two very docile puppies to chase you later, don't worry. Lin Mu patted Hu Bugui's shoulder and smiled slyly.

Michael Bay also laughed smirked. After more than ten days of contact, he has completely integrated into the team and is completely open.

And Lin Mu, in order to learn more from Michael Bay, Lin Mu deliberately delegated part of the directing rights to him, and at the same time, Lin Mu was not ashamed to ask questions and humbly asked for advice.

Hu Bugui looked at Lin Mu and Michael Bay, and for some reason, he felt a gust of wind and a chill down his spine.

After a short rest, there was a sound outside.

"Here comes the dog! Here comes the dog!! ”

Lin Mu and the rest of the crew all focused on the door, and after a while, they saw two special police officers in police uniforms and two ...... A strong German wolfdog (German Shepherd/Blackback) with a height of at least 65cm.

Strong and well-developed muscles, sharp teeth are exposed between the mouths, and they constantly emit a low, low growl. And that look...... It's terrifying, ahh~~~~~hhh

"Peaty!! Docile?? Puppy dogs?? "Hu Bugui thought of Lin Mu's flickering just now, and the cow was full of ~~~~

"Wait a minute, you have to run faster, don't let them catch up!!" Michael Bay patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder and encouraged him with 'capital'.

Hu does not return to tears~~~

These two dogs were borrowed from the Modu police by Lin Mu a few days ago, and the Modu police naturally did not refuse, so they immediately sent two well-trained old police dogs, and of course, they were also equipped with two special police officers who live with police dogs all year round. Before coming, Lin Mu had consulted the police, and there was no problem with the safety at all, so Lin Mu would rest assured. (To be continued.) )
