Chapter 205: Fixed Angle, Matt
The news of Lin Nan's appearance in Hollywood can't be concealed at all.
There are already photos, sent back to the country.
Warner Headquarters.
It's still the last time Lin Nan visited "Batman: The Dark Knight".
Nolan is like the king here, ruling over hundreds of special effects engineers.
"Lin, let's see the results."
Nolan pulled Lin Nan and watched the special effects clips that had been made.
In the three-minute picture, Liu Yifei walked in front and Leonardo followed behind.
In the distance, the city slowly rises and folds, obscuring the sky and then falling upside down.
The road is under your feet, the sky above you is also a road, and the city and the city form a mirror image.
People and cars are still moving, and when they step on the wall, the next moment it becomes the ground of the subjective world.
"How?"
"Perfect, excellent."
"Haha, this movie will definitely stay in film history and become a classic."
Nolan swore and clenched his fists, looking very excited.
The special effects are very shocking, but Lin Nan's attention is on these people and equipment at Warner, and he is very greedy to see it.
"I'm here this time because I have a drama to film." Lin Nan said.
Nolan came back to his senses, "What movie?" Is it still a sci-fi film? ”
"No, it's a realistic theme."
"Oh, I remember, you're the Silver Bear director of Berlin, and that's your forte. How can I help? ”
"I need actors with good acting skills and cheapness, haha".
Hearing Lin Nan's words, Nolan rolled his eyes.
"I'm not familiar with the kind you said, there is no cheap commercial film actor.
You can go to the independent film industry and ask, or go directly to Leonardo, forget it, he is too expensive.
But many of his friends around him have good acting skills and the salary is not too high. ”
Nolan could hear that Lin Nan was joking, but he still gave advice.
"Thank you, I'll pick slowly in the next two days."
What is the situation in Hollywood now, everyone knows that many actors are out of business, and there are too many to choose from.
After deliberately inquiring about the price of the whole special effects production system that Warner is currently using, Lin Nan felt that he was still taking his time.
——
"New Moon" began to be promoted.
Last year's "Twilight", although the box office potential was only one week, also mobilized a large number of fans, especially female fans.
This year's promotional strategy focuses on the fan base.
"Tom, Lionsgate's announcement is that you have a snack, don't think about your stocks anymore."
"Can you stop mentioning stocks, I'm going to kick them out of my head soon......"
Tom had a constipated look on his face.
"Okay, go and send a movie audition notice again, my movie needs a leading actor, about forty years old, can fluctuate up and down a little, preferably married."
Tom instantly perked up, "I'll do it right away." ”
There are so many pheasant film festivals abroad.
Lin Nan has only been here for two days, and he received an invitation to a film festival, what is it called: Chinese American Film Festival.
He also specifically checked, it was actually organized by an American company, and this year's opening film was "Winning the Bid" from Hong Kong Island.
Isn't this just for gilding some bad films?
That afternoon, Lin Nan received a call from Ryan Reynolds.
"Director Lin Nan, I'm Ryan."
"Ryan, I haven't congratulated you yet, happy newlywed."
This guy just got married to Scarlett in September.
"Thank you.
Director, I would like to ask if your film is suitable for my role?
What you should know about my acting skills. ”
This problem gave Lin Nan a headache, Ryan Reynolds's acting skills are really good, and it is vividly reflected in "Buried Alive".
But his age is not very suitable, he is just in his early thirties, and the male protagonist Lin Nan needs is about forty.
"Sorry, Ryan, I need an actor in his forties or so, that's a little more natural."
Ryan Reynolds on the other end of the line was visibly disappointed.
"That's a shame. Thank you, Director Lin Nan, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. ”
"Yes."
Since Tom sent a movie audition notice to Lin Nan, the actors who came to ask have not stopped.
The influence of a Silver Bear director should not be underestimated.
Even Wen Ziren was ridiculing Lin Nan.
"Hollywood's production has been cut by more than half this year, and your movie directed by Silver Bear is definitely a sweet treat."
"But so far, I haven't found a suitable one."
Lin Nandu began to retreat, if he really couldn't find a suitable one, let Ryan Reynolds put on it, it's a big deal to put on makeup.
Actually, Leonardo is also suitable, but he is really too expensive.
This movie, the budget is not very high, looking for Xiao Lizi, whether it is the salary or the transfer of investment shares, Lin Nan is not very willing.
Some people really can't think about it, and just think about it.
"Hey, Leon?"
"Lin, I heard you're looking for an actor?"
"Yes."
"Is it like Inception?"
"It's not. A realistic drama, but it definitely can't afford you. ”
Lin Nan suddenly remembered what Nolan said.
"Do you have any candidates you can recommend to me?"
"Around 40 years old? Preferably married? ”
"That's right."
"Hmm...... You go to Matt or Matthew. ”
"You're talking about Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey?"
"Yes, it's them, about 40 years old, married, and they all have children."
Lin Nan chatted for a while with Leonardo, who is currently on vacation in Miami Beach.
This year's Victoria's Secret show will be held there in two days, and it will really be fun.
The next day, Lin Nan met Matt Damon.
is also an acquaintance, and at the cocktail party and the award ceremony, the two of them chatted.
This is two years older than Leonardo, but also faces the same problem, which is not to be recognized by the old guys in the academy.
But for Lin Nan, this is just right, the characters portrayed in the script can be liked by the little girl, and they must look better.
"Being in his forties, divorced, having children, being caring and patient, these are the characteristics of the main character.
Matt, let me think about it and get back to you in two days. Lin Nan said to Matt Damon.
"Thank you, Director Lin Nan.
Leon, that bastard told me that I had a chance to star in Inception, right? Haha......"
This question is not easy to answer, Lin Nan can only laugh and laugh.
Not long after sending Matt Damon away, Matthew McConaughey arrived.
Lin Nan wondered if the two had made an appointment in advance.
The audition results were also very good, but Lin Nan always felt that Matt Damon was a little sunnier.
The story of a kind, sunny male protagonist being ruined better reflects the theme of the movie, isn't it?
This side of the country.
At the beginning, a large number of movies took the initiative to avoid "The Martian" in October, which was scheduled for November.
As a result, in November, there was another situation, with an average of two or three movies being launched every day.
And it is completely different from the boom of the film market in October, the audience seems to have suddenly lost their passion for entering the cinema, and the market has cooled down a lot.
Some media reposted Lin Nan's casting request in Hollywood.
"Auditions have begun?"
"Yes, many Hollywood actors have auditioned, and the results should be coming soon."
There are a lot of people in the industry who pay attention to Lin Nan's movie, and the media began to track and report it.
Tom has withdrawn that notice of the public audition.
Lin Nan finally chose Matt Damon and gave him the script.
"Oh, good thing that Leon guy isn't in Hollywood, haha.
Lin, can I invite him to visit the class? I can already imagine his expression, haha......"
"Of course you can, but keep it a secret before you turn it on. Moreover, you have to integrate into the script in advance, and the shooting period I planned for it would not be too long. Lin Nan reminded.
Matt Damon nodded, "I'll start when I go back today." I won't be going out again before shooting. ”
No matter where you are, a good script is hard to come by.
In Matt Damon's eyes, the script in his hand is very good.
Scandals, lies, suspicions, hatred, and cold human nature......
In all likelihood, it will help him break through again.
Lin Nan sat alone in the office, thinking about this movie. The biggest expense in the budget should be Matt Damon's salary.
Although his salary is far less than Leonardo, it is not low.
"The shape has to be well designed, and the contrast effect can be stronger."
…………
has just entered November, and several Chinese New Year movies have begun large-scale publicity.
Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the publicity style has not changed at all, claiming that it is not difficult to have a box office of 300 million, and a box office of 400 million is expected.
"Mei Lanfang" is said to have signed up for the Berlin International Film Festival, and after Han Sanping and others watched it, they were highly praised in front of the media.
"A master of cinema, a tribute to the master of opera."
"Director Chen Kaige will be the strongest contender for the Golden Bear Award next year."
Lin Nan saw the promotional poster of "Ip Man" on the Internet.
I don't know who came up with it, but on the huge poster, the most conspicuous position was reserved for the screenwriter.
Screenwriter: Lin Nan.
Not to mention, the effect is really good.
Many netizens said that they could go and see it when the time came.
Yang Shoucheng specially called over to talk about it.
"The Martian" has just been released, and its influence has not decreased, and the group of people in "Ip Man" added up is not as good as Lin Nan.
Yang Shoucheng even joked that in the future, Lin Nan's own movie will be released, and he can add one sentence: Lin Nan's works.
Hollywood Film Consultancy reported on the audition results for Lin Nan's new film.
Matt Damon, who was chosen as the leading actor by the young Silver Bear director, heard that it was recommended by his friend Leonardo.
"Matt, that guy is still very strong, and after this cooperation, you will know.
However, it's a pity that you didn't come to Miami Beach, and I'll tell you when I go back to Hollywood in the next two days......"
Leonardo's love for supermodels is always so strong.
While preparing for the crew, Lin Nan looked at the email sent by Yue Jun.
The broadcast rights of "Latent" have been sold, and the price is worse than "The Leader", but it is still acceptable.
Tom has returned from the guild, and now that he is destitute, he longs for the company to open a few more film projects.
"All the supporting actors, extras, crew, it's all done.
Lin, you can turn on the phone at any time. ”
