"What do you think of Pacific Rim?" As soon as she left the scene, Lin Ziyi asked.

"The plot is a little weak, but the special effects are really good, as long as there are no accidents, there is a high probability that this movie will be a big hit."

From the director's point of view, Xu Nan gave a fair evaluation.

In good conscience, the movie "Pacific Rim" is really good, although it is not perfect, but then again, where are there so many classic and perfect movies.

It's already good to have this quality, especially the special effects, as long as the audience has eyes, they will be amazed.

This special effect alone is worth the ticket price.

Lin Ziyi nodded slightly, his evaluation is similar to Xu Nan's, this movie is really okay.

After all, Warner is a big company, and the director is the famous Benjamin, who spared no expense to shoot, and the quality of this movie is really good.

"Do you have an idea in your head?" Lin Ziyi asked.

She didn't say it too clearly, but Xu Nan completely understood what she meant.

Do you know how to touch this movie?

Xu Nan laughed: "Actually, it's the same whether you watch it or not, it's nothing more than a mecha fighting monsters, I wrote the script yesterday." ”

"Did you bring it with you?" Lin Ziyi asked with interest.

"You want to see it?" Xu Nan asked?

"Hmm." Lin Ziyi snorted from her nose.

Xu Nan directly handed the script to Lin Ziyi.

This script is a pure script, without literary embellishment, and if you don't read it in the industry, you can only be confused.

But Lin Ziyi is an industry insider, and she can still understand this kind of professional script.

After watching for half an hour, Lin Ziyi's brows furrowed slightly: "Is the cost of 200,000 yuan enough?" You've got special effects in here. ”

"You can just find a garbage studio to deal with it, anyway, the core of the movie is to touch porcelain." Xu Nanman didn't care.

He remembered that in his previous life, the "Atlantic Rim" seemed to cost about four or five hundred thousand, and although the special effects were rubbish, the overall quality was actually okay.

But Xu Nan thinks that there is no need to spend so much money, the shelter film and television is too end-to-end, they have already been coated with porcelain, and the quality is so good, is it necessary?

That's pretty much it.

"Okay." Lin Ziyi was noncommittal.

There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.

With Xu Nan's brilliant record, she felt that there was no need to worry about the filming of the movie.

Soon, Lin Ziyi sent Xu Nan back to his residence, and told him by the way to remember to rent a car.

Xu Nan rested for a day full of energy, and then began to recruit troops and horses to shoot his second movie after coming to the United States.

The second time he made a movie, Xu Nan was more skilled, the preparation of the crew was extremely smooth, the procedures were easily solved, and the necessary personnel of the crew were quickly completed.

The last time I made a copycat porcelain movie, I wasn't sure if the business model of copycat porcelain would work in the United States, so Xu Nan disbanded the crew directly after filming the movie.

But this time he thought about it and decided to really build the company, recruit a few necessary people, and save the whole process of making movies in the future.

The copycat porcelain market here in the United States is going to be completely occupied.

In the process of preparing the crew, a funny thing happened.

George, who once scolded him, heard that Xu Nan was preparing the crew again, and he came over in a hurry.

"Hey, let me join, the two of us are God-blessed partners, just like Adam and Eve."

"I'm sorry, I'm not doing it." Xu Nan smiled: "And I remember scolding me when you left, saying, 'Stupid Chinese director, go back to China, and never tell others that I worked with Ling'." ”

George said decisively: "In a Chinese proverb, I have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, I'm a fool, a fool with a brain full of poop, please don't blame me, this time I will work with 120% energy." ”

Xu Nan laughed and agreed to join George.

This guy is actually okay, and he can endure it until the end before breaking out, which can be regarded as okay.

The point is that he's very good.

The most important thing is that as long as he joins the crew, Xu Nan will have the opportunity to justifiably call George.

After George joined, Xu Nan also drew a cake for him.

"George, it's time for the company to grow, and if you do well, I might consider making you president."

George's eyes lit up and he threw himself into his work enthusiastically.

Watching George, who once ignored him, work as hard as a little bee, Xu Nan felt extremely happy.

Well, that's the joy of capitalists.

With George's help, the crew was quickly built, and the lighting engineer, prop master, cameraman, and all the members of the crew should have.

Although the number of people is small, the members are complete, and it can be said that the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs.

Then it's time to recruit actors.

The long-legged girl Kelly last time had a new job this time, and she couldn't come over, so Xu Nan could only find someone else.

This time it is much easier to recruit actors than last time, Xu Nan already has a reputation, no matter whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, as long as he is famous, some people will rush to him.

It's not that the actors don't know what they're filming, but a chance to go to theaters is enough for a group of worthless actors to break their heads.

Hollywood has never lacked actors, all it lacks is opportunities.

is also thanks to his fame, the quality of the actors selected this time is much higher, and the price given is a little lower than the last time.

Of course, for Xu Nan, the quality of the actor is not very important, as long as he can get by, the actor's acting skills are not the key to the success of copycat movies.

Then there is the all-important heroine.

Xu Nan specially called all the members of the crew over and told him seriously.

"For our film, the heroine is very important, even more important than all the actors combined."

"You know, I'm Chinese, and my aesthetics are not the same as those of the United States, so I need you to help me choose the heroine."

"My request is simple, this heroine has to be impressive, you know, like Kelly last time."

The crew members all showed a smile of understanding, and their enthusiasm was very high.

Choosing actors has always been the right of directors and producers, and it is a rare experience for them to suddenly have this right as ordinary people.

Who doesn't want to judge an actor openly.

After a lot of effort, Xu Nan finally chose the actress of the movie, whose name is Eliza, she has a pair of eyes as blue as the sea, and of course, the most important thing is that she has a very good figure.

Especially when it's running.

Well, choppy.

After the actors are done, the next step is to shoot.

About half of the crew members are people who made movies with Xu Nan last time, and they are used to Xu Nan's shooting style, so this time the film shooting is even smoother and faster than the last time.

Especially George, who really put out 120% of his energy, rotated in the crew, as a crew producer, and sometimes made guest appearances in the group, which can be said to be very hard-working.

"Eliza, be active when you run, and make the audience pay attention to your body all the time." Xu Nan looked at the camera and said.

"I get the director." Eliza didn't have a shy expression, and quickly made adjustments according to Xu Nan's request.

She doesn't care about the unspoken rules, let alone this extremely obscure rubbing.

It's all art.

Strictly speaking, the plot of Xu Nan's movies is similar to that of the Pacific Rim, both of which are mecha fighting monsters, but with the same plot, different directors can make completely different movies.

"I'm going to be a little more emotional." Xu Nan once again gave his opinion to the crew members.

In this way, under his occasional guidance, the film was shot at a rapid pace, and it took only six days to complete the shooting.

This speed is faster than last time, and the reason is simple, the crew members have experience.

And Xu Nan's qualifications are sufficient, which can make the crew members work harder.

After the filming of the film was completed, he held a finale banquet and invited the crew members to a party together.

Party culture is prevalent here in the United States, and the locals follow the customs, and Xu Nan also came to one.

Flying leaves at parties is still prevalent in the United States, which Xu Nan really can't accept, although it's not a big deal in the United States, there are many celebrities who have the experience of flying leaves, but he really can't accept it.

So before the party, Xu Nan said in advance that he was not allowed to do this at the party, and if he found out, don't blame him for driving people.

There is a person in the crew who is very talented, Xu Nan originally wanted him to join the company, but as soon as he heard that he liked flying leaves, he decisively refused.

It's Eliza, Xu Nan let her join the company and become a contracted actor of the company.

Here in the United States, you can sign actors while filming film and television dramas, and theater companies here can even make movies.

Xu Nan's next copycat porcelain piece really needs a heroine with a thin waist and long legs, and Eliza is very suitable, so Xu Nan signed her into the company.

And George, this guy behaved very well during the filming of the movie, it seems that in order to make up for the mistake last time, his attitude towards Xu Nan is almost flattering, and he flatters him in every way, so Xu Nan also recruited him into the company.

This person is really a bit capable, and the key two people cooperate very tacitly, and George can perfectly comprehend Xu Nan's intentions.

At the party, everyone had a lot of fun, and although the filming time of the movie was not long, it was enough for everyone to get familiar with it and let them enjoy their fun.

After the party, the crew officially parted ways, some of them joined Xu Nan's Nanhai Film and Television and became his employees, while others said goodbye to Xu Nan and went looking for other opportunities.

The filming of the movie "Atlantic Rim" is completed, and even the post-production is almost done.

But the film is missing one crucial thing, and that's the special effects.

Mecha monster movies, how can there be no special effects.
