"To sum up, everything is hype, everything is a script, everything is a mass base, and everything is caused by influence."

"Let's find a good script, "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" can get such high expectations, it has nothing to do with it, and "Transformers" is also a movie that has been laid out since a few years ago, and it is natural for it to have such a sensation."

No matter how popular "Transformers" is, it is also the business of Lin Mu, a special director in China, and Hope Film and Television Company, what other film companies can do now is to find a good script and strive to make a movie comparable to Transformers.

Not to mention the indignation of other film companies, the work of "Transformers" is being carried out in an orderly manner. The other actors are easy to do, but the protagonist is a little more difficult.

There is no doubt that the actor must be a Chinese, but he is related to the subsequent installments of the "Transformers" series, and he needs to be cautious and cautious, in case there is a drama like the actor in the previous time and space who quit after filming three films. The impact on the film was absolutely enormous.

The heroine of "Transformers 3" was replaced, and the male protagonist of "Transformers 4" was replaced by a large number of characters, which brought a lot of negative impact on the movie, and many fans expressed their disappointment in "Transformers 4", the protagonist was changed, and he didn't want to watch it, which is not unreasonable.

Especially if the actor who is the main character is replaced, can it still be this movie? I guess it's self-defeating martial arts.

The protagonist has always played an irreplaceable and important role in the movie, and when you change it, the feeling changes.

And "Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" in the previous time and space have changed because of the protagonists. So everything in the plot needs to be reinvented. If it weren't for the good performance of "The Amazing Spider-Man". It is estimated that this sign of Spider-Man will be smashed.

Therefore, Lin Mu was cautious in the selection of the male protagonist, and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

The heroine, Lin Mu, out of consideration for the European and American markets, set her sights on Hollywood movie stars. Westerner. A movie star who collects beautiful and sexy routes. Originally, Lin Mu wanted to take Shen Yao, who had been studying Shen Yao silently below, but she was not the star of the sexy route, and she was also a Chinese face, so she gave up.

Jerkassie, who has a good working experience with Lin Mu, is also a suitable actor, but unfortunately she has a film appointment and doesn't have enough time. can only make cameo appearances.

From the beginning of July to August 3. Hope Film and Television Company issued interview invitations to a total of 30 young well-known female movie stars in Hollywood, from film and television to reality dramas, all female stars who felt suitable for American aesthetics and Chinese aesthetics, including Kristen Stewart, Blay Cleverly, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Roberts, were invited.

So far, a total of 22 people have replied, all of whom said that they already have a schedule, and they are unfortunately unable to participate. Some movie stars said they were honored. I was a little flattered by the invitation to Transformers and earnestly hoped that I would have the opportunity to work together again next time.

Whether it is perfunctory or not, perfunctory itself is a kind of attention.

On August 13, "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" has been released worldwide for 25 days. After today, it will be the day when it will be fully released in North America.

IMDB, the world's most famous Internet movie evaluation platform, gave "Resident Apocalypse 2" a rating of 85, 'very good, recognized as a masterpiece'.

And the evaluation of this movie is: the dazzling monsters and abilities, the compact and reasonable plot editing, and the high-level sound effects make people high, and the human struggle of the end times also gives the movie the depth it deserves, and it is an excellent work.

In stark contrast to the high ratings, the box office of "Resident Apocalypse 2", as the first victim under the restrictions on the introduction of American films, the box office of "Resident Apocalypse 2" can be said to have been cut off.

From July 20th to August 11th. "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" won a total of $200 million at the box office in North America, and it is estimated that it will be released at the next time. The total box office in North America can only reach about $2.2 billion. Compared with the 33.8 billion won by the first film in North America, the gap is not small, and this is still the case of those North American theaters desperately trying to increase the scheduling rate for "Biochemical Apocalypse 2".

And some other countries around the world, because of the restrictions of the United States, have also introduced policies to restrict "Biochemical Apocalypse 2", and the release time has been reduced to more than 20 days or 30 days.

Shortened release time. It has a lot of impact on the total box office figures.

At this time, the total global box office of "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" is 6.5 billion US dollars, and it is completely impossible to catch up with the total box office of the first part of 900 million when it is released worldwide, and it is estimated that it should be around 7.5 billion.

Many people in China sighed with regret.

"Compare the first part, and then compare the timely release of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2". I have to say that the sharpness of the restrictions introduced by the United States suddenly made the film lose 2 billion yuan at the box office. -- "Huaxia Film News".

"It will be more difficult for future films to hit the global box office charts." -- Citizen Daily.

"It's all the reason why the domestic film market is not mature enough to resist the large-scale impact of global films." - Oriental Entertainment News

And the media in the United States also joked that the Chinese film market should be fully opened, so that the film restrictions in the United States will be lifted. But it's basically impossible.

"Transformers" crew interview waiting room.

Several young actors sat on their chairs with sweaty palms as they watched the eyes of the others with wariness and subtle hostility, and then looked at the door in the waiting hall with burning heat.

The room inside this door is where the main character of "Transformers" is interviewed. As long as you succeed, you can turn into a dragon as soon as you encounter a storm, and you are no longer a person who is slowly struggling at the bottom, money, honor, and even ...... It's a beauty, and it's at your fingertips.

However, they didn't dare to relax at all, because the 10 people who had just entered came out dejectedly, and while they were glad in their hearts, they were also extremely nervous. Moreover, there are also characters who make them worship or jealous, the dominant characters of "Transformers". A forest tree that can be called an entertainment genius.

In short, it's stressful.

In the interview hall, Lin Mu rubbed his temples, a little headache: "The quality of these people is average." ”

And Michael Bay, an assistant director who grew up in Hollywood, also said lightly: "Compared with young actors in Hollywood, these actors just now are too impetuous, and ambition is not a problem." But impetuousness is going to be terrible. ”

Several other interviewers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this was already the best actor they had selected, and they were disliked by the director and assistant director.

One of the interviewers suddenly suggested, "Why not......?" Looking for another studio to borrow? ”

"Borrowing? Isn't this training stars for other companies? "The other interviewers had a pimple in their hearts.

Lin Mu was silent, playing with the pen in his hand, and did not speak.

Several actors quickly completed their interviews, and then left in a gloomy sky.

On August 15, the official website of Hope Film and Television Company suddenly announced an announcement that surprised countless people: "Major film companies across the country can select young actors with good acting skills and image (limited to two places) to the crew of "Transformers" for interviews. ”

After the news came out, it immediately made the major film companies boil with joy.

"Haha. Mr. Lin is such a wonderful person. ”

"Giving us the opportunity to outsiders??"

"I hope that Film and Television didn't take the wrong medicine??"

Blue Ocean Group.

When Zhang Zhirong just entered the company from the outside, he found that the atmosphere of the company was a little wrong, and it felt as if it was very lively.

"I don't know who our company will choose to audition?"

"If you choose me, then you will soar in the future!!"

"Just you?? People are not handsome, and their acting skills are average, so it will be strange to choose you. ”

"Are you saying that forest tree is stupid? actually gave up the position of the male protagonist to outsiders? ”

"Tsk, what's this, in Director Lin's hands. Are there still few actors who are famous all over the world? Giving it to outsiders shows that he is open-minded enough. ”

"That's right. With his ability, whoever he praises will be popular. If you want me to be under him, no matter how tired I am, I will be willing. ”

Hu Bugui walked all the way, and heard a lot of discussions on the way, although he caught a few key words. But they didn't connect them all together. Looking at the way everyone's minds floated, Hu Bugui couldn't help but wonder.

"Transformers? Forest? The male lead? What's going on? ”

Before he could figure it out, a phone call came and said something that surprised him - "Pack your things immediately and go to the magic capital." Audition for the Transformers actor. ”

"You are less than thirty years old, your face looks young, your acting skills are good, and you meet the conditions proposed by the other party."

Until the phone hung up, Hu Bugui didn't react, which surprised him too much.

"Auditions? The actor of "Transformers"? ”

What followed was a heartbeat, and happiness came too suddenly.

Lin Mu also thought about setting the actor of "Transformers" as an actor within the company, or a freelance actor outside. It's a pity that both internal actors and external freelance actors are not competitive, and in the end they have to give up the opportunity to other film companies, although it is a bit of a pity.

After other film companies saw the news announced by Hope Film and Television, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly screened out the best 2 actors who were available and felt that they were in good condition, and sent them to the crew of "Transformers". These film and television companies move surprisingly fast, and it doesn't take a day to send people over.

"Let you pretend to be a ** silk man who has just come out of society, how do you act?"

"You play the poor and the rich, see how you play?"

"Have you studied Hollywood acting?"

"In a Hollywood movie, you have a crush on someone. How to act? ”

Lin Mu is still personally in charge of the interview. Michael Bay assisted, auditioning for elite actors selected by various film and television companies.

I have to say that the quality of these actors carefully selected by major film and television companies is much better than those interviewed before, whether it is the level of acting skills, physical condition or mental outlook.

It took two days and two rounds of screening. finally determined the protagonist - Hu Bugui of Blue Ocean Group.

After learning that his actor won the role of the protagonist of "Transformers". Lan Haimei, chairman of Blue Ocean Group, is also beaming. hurriedly pulled Hu Bugui to express his gratitude to Lin Mu, but the intimate behavior of the **** charm made Hu Bugui blush.

"Hu doesn't return?? Hu madman in the ancient dragon? It's okay to call you a madman/Fengzi in the future, by the way. Lin Mu teased. Once the employment relationship is confirmed, the atmosphere becomes a little more relaxed.

When Hu Bugui heard this title, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but think that when he was in high school, his classmates also called him like this. I thought that I could get rid of this title when I got out of society, but I didn't expect it...... Temperance is not guaranteed.

Hu Bugui looked sad, like a compassionate ascetic.

Lin Mu smiled and looked at Hu Bugui for a while, before turning his head and starting to talk to Lan Haimei: "Mr. Lan, let the madman play the protagonist, I have conditions." ”

"Say!" This is the proper meaning, and Blue Ocean Mei has long been psychologically prepared.

"The first is that a madman must always serve "Transformers", no matter what company he is, he must not refuse for any reason, and actively cooperate with the filming of the "Transformers" series of movies."

"No problem!" Fools disagree.

"Secondly, in view of the fact that "Transformers" has made an international name for the madman, we must definitely give less in terms of the salary of this series, and we will negotiate later."

Lan Haimei lowered her eyebrows and groaned, and after a while agreed, "No problem." ”

Then Lin Mu put forward some harmless conditions, and Lan Haimei agreed one by one. In the afternoon, the two parties officially signed a contract, officially announcing the determination of the actor of "Transformers".

Seeing that his name fell into the place where the agreement was signed, Hu Bugui didn't know why he had the urge to cry out loud.

Good things come in pairs, just when the male protagonist is determined, the heroine's things have also been feedback.

The power of fate is sometimes quite powerful, and the heroine of this time is still the heroine of the first part of the former time and space, Megan Fox, when Lin Mu heard this feedback, he was also stunned.

Although Megan Fox is not too in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, it is very in line with the aesthetics of Europe and the United States, with French, Irish, and Indian blood, and was once selected as the 16th most beautiful woman in the world by the American "People".

In the previous space, she played a somewhat naughty, hot and sweet Michaela in "Transformers", and was 'hailed' as a vase character.

In fact, Lin Mu doesn't like her, but it's a pity that the person he likes doesn't have a schedule, and the assistant director Michael Bay is very satisfied with Megan Fox.

"This role is vase attribute anyway, and she is fully capable of it." Lin Mu thought in his heart, and then agreed.

At this time, another good news came, the supercomputer that Lin Mu had purchased from Longguang and Huaxin computer companies was also designed and assembled under 24-hour overtime. Tomorrow, they can all be shipped over and put into the CG team of the special effects department for assembly. Originally, it wasn't that fast, but Lin Mu didn't mind copying other supercomputers, and it was jointly designed by two computer companies, so the design process was relatively fast.
