Chapter 476: Shooting, about to part ways
Lin Nan and the main creators looked back at the shots taken on the first day in the crew.
In the drama part, when the female lawyer played by Naomi Watts, with an insightful and oppressive tone, repeatedly asks if there is anything to hide.
Leonardo showed extremely wronged, manic, helpless and aggrieved emotions, and even his eyes were red with grievance, and he felt like he was about to collapse.
"These are not enough to save you. If there really isn't, or if there's something else, and you don't tell me about this defense lawyer.
Then you can only wait for the police and the judge to convict you. Because there's no way to prove that someone else killed her......"
Naomi Watts intentionally or unintentionally threw a newspaper on the table, seducing Leonardo and attacking him.
The latter subconsciously glanced at the newspaper, and it was a piece of news.
News of a young man who has been missing for months, along with photos of the young man's life.
Finally, Leonardo, who was in the camera, opened his mouth and talked about what happened three months ago......
……
"The first lie always needs to be rounded with the second lie. Lin, Ling's script is really fantastic! ”
"Thanks for the compliment, Jessica."
Lin Nan's eyes moved away from the camera and looked at Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts who were present.
This morning, the Academy announced its list of Oscar nominees.
"Congratulations, nominated for the Best Actress Award."
"In addition, before we finished filming this movie, many film companies and distribution companies have come to inquire one after another."
"Thanks, Lin."
The two of them said in unison, and they were in a good mood.
As he spoke, Lin Nan glanced at Xiao Lizi, who seemed to be nothing, and comforted:
"Leon, there's still a long way to go, there's going to be a chance, isn't it?"
"I hope it's as you say. These old guys are always deliberately targeting me......"
Obviously, in this year's Oscars, Xiao Lizi didn't even get the nomination.
"Prepare, in five minutes, we're going to start filming the second story of lies."
"Well, that's fine."
A few minutes later, on the tree-lined path, the shooting began.
According to the male protagonist played by Leonardo, described and recalled:
After the two had an affair in a foreign country, he received a call from his wife's concern, felt ashamed, and wanted to separate from his lover.
He drove the car, carrying his lover, and the two were ready to rush to the airport and go home.
In the car, he took the initiative to mention the breakup, and the two parties were emotional, and the speed of the car also increased.
At this time, a deer came out of front of him, and the car dodged and collided with another car, and the driver on the opposite side was a young man.
The camera moves over the slide, and in the lens, the young man is covered in blood, apparently dead. The mobile phone that fell on the seat was still receiving chat messages.
Leonardo took out his phone in a panic and was about to call the police, but was stopped by his lover played by Jessica.
"No, he couldn't call the police, it was his responsibility, he didn't wear a seatbelt, he was driving and texting.
If you call the police, our relationship will be exposed, think about your wife, daughter, my husband, our respective careers......"
The male protagonist played by Xiao Lizi is convinced, and while no one sees them, they are ready to leave quickly.
Time passed minute by minute, but the car just wouldn't start, apparently crashed into a breakdown.
At this time, a car came from afar, and under the urgency of the lover, the two pretended to be the owners of the two cars and were negotiating to solve the traffic accident.
The young man, who died, was put down in the car so that he would not be seen.
"Hey, do you need help?" A middle-aged man passing by rolled his car window and asked.
"Thanks, no need. I hit his car and am negotiating a deal. ”
Jessica Chastain replied hurriedly, her tone a little nervous, as if she hadn't recovered from the crash she had spoken of.
At this time, the mobile phone of the dead young man who fell in the car rang, "Oh, it should be the phone number of the insurance company, I'll pick it up......"
Jessica Chastain ran over, hung up the young man's phone, and after pretending to answer the phone, said a few words, and then put the phone in her pocket.
In the end, she also used her body to block the blood flowing from the crack in the car door to avoid being seen.
In this way, the two fooled each other. But the actor is still a little worried.
"He might have seen a body?"
"No, let's not talk about that now, we need to dispose of the body quickly, that person is an eyewitness and may expose us.
Immediately, drive this car to dispose of the body, and I'll wait here for someone to fix it...... After that, we will not meet again, as you wish, the end of the ......"
Jessica's body and tone trembled, but she still arranged it decisively.
Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled the next note.
"Cut, that's good, we're here today."
…………
Every year, the Oscars, like the three major European film festivals, are the focus of attention of filmmakers all over the world.
Domestically, the list of nominees is also being reported.
Especially in Lin Nan's film crew, the two actresses were actually shortlisted, which is extremely conspicuous.
Staying in Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan saw the email sent by Yue Jun and the domestic movie information.
""Thai Embarrassment" exceeded 1.2 billion, the total box office has reached 1.245 billion, with a daily income of one million, and it is expected that the box office of 1.3 billion is hopeless."
"The total box office of "Zodiac" was reported to be 828 million, and Cheng Long bluntly said that he hopes to exceed 900 million ...... before the next release"
……
Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", which he has been working on for 4 years, was finally released in the mainland.
The box office on the first day was 29.4 million, reaching his personal best, and the box office exceeded the total box office of "2046" in one day.
The entire Chinese-language film industry seems to be making sycophants.
"The director who can shoot "The Grandmaster" must also be a grandmaster!"
"Four years of sharpening a sword, meticulous carving, and ...... craftsman spirit"
However, compared with the collective praise of the film and television industry, the Internet is relatively objective.
There are still many viewers who feel that this movie is a little too dull.
In terms of word-of-mouth, although "The Grandmaster" is good, it is still far from the two movies "Life of Pi" and "1942", and the reviews of the latter two are one-sided praise with almost no objections.
"It really made her seize the opportunity to turn the tables!"
Lin Nan saw Zhang Ziyi's dynamics.
For the sake of this film, and for herself, the International Chapter is simply hard to promote.
People are still in Hollywood, but on average, at least two or three Weibo posts per hour, desperately shouting.
As one of the judges of the academy, when interviewed by Hollywood media, he will always inadvertently mention "The Grandmaster".
The movie in February has already begun to warm up for publicity, which is the prime time for the Chinese New Year list, the Spring Festival, and Valentine's Day.
Several movies such as "Journey to the West", "Love in Seattle", and "Very Perfect 2" will appear.
Lin Nan thought about it and replied to Yue Jun and Xue Xiaolu by email, the publicity of "Love Seattle" can be increased.
As movies of the same type, Zhang Ziyi's "Very Perfect 2" and Donnie Yen's "Together" are not very competitive in Lin Nan's opinion, Zhang Ziyi has no box office appeal, and Donnie Yen ...... Acting in a romance movie? Funny!
Liu Yifei called from Paris, and her voice was crisp: "It will take another day and a half." You'll be able to see me the next afternoon. ”
"That's just for Tom to bring someone to pick you up, I should be on the crew." Lin Nan said softly.
"It's okay, you're busy. Also, I came back with a gift and he ...... Daddy gave it to you. ”
Lin Nan really didn't expect to receive a gift from that person.
"I'm looking forward to it somehow, Sissi."
"I've had a lot of good things to say about you. But you didn't tell me that you've already met! ”
"That was all when I was filming Inception. Okay, I'll talk to you when you come back, I'm going to the crew. ”
"yes, okay."
…………
The crew of "The Invisible Guest".
According to the plot, Jessica plays the role of the lover, and after delaying some car repair time, she drives to the airport alone.
But the car broke down again, and when she was calling for help, she ran into an old man who was driving, Tom Brangier.
The latter, a former automotive engineer, is now retired at home. He was kind enough to help and was able to tow Jessica's car and go back to repair it.
Jessica plays the role of lover, can't refuse, she needs to hurry.
But the next thing made her feel creepy.
When she followed the old man back to the latter's house and was introduced to his wife, she saw a family photo and was immediately frightened.
Only then did she realize that the young man she killed yesterday was the only son of the couple......
And in her jacket pocket, she still has the mobile phone of a young man who has died in a car accident that she forgot to dispose of.
…………
This side of the country.
Zeng Jia hung up Yue Jun's phone and turned his head to the crew's dressing room to find Yang Mi.
According to the filming plan, the first two parts of "Little Times" will be completed in mid to late February.
"Mimi, Director Yue and Director Xue Xiaolu have informed us that we need to adjust the time to cooperate with the promotion of the movie."
Yang Mi nodded stunned, feeling a little unreal.
Zeng Jia's words have another meaning.
That is, Yang Mi herself, it is about to come to part ways with Shanhai Media. 3 years, what a time flies.
"Well, then let's go talk to Director Guo, we have to ask him to adjust my role and make time."
……
A group of leading actors from Taiwan Province and supporting actors from the mainland were very envious when they looked at Yang Mi, Zeng Jia and Guo Jingming laughing and chatting.
Everyone knows that the only first-line actress in the crew is Yang Mi, and she is the top one.
Backed by Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures, the road ahead is smooth......
"No problem, Director Xue's movie, I also like it. You can run the publicity with peace of mind, and I will help you stagger the scenes. ”
Guo Jingming had a smile on his face and said to Yang Mi and Zeng Jia.
"Then thank you Director Guo."
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia thanked each other.
"You're welcome, I wish you a box office success ...... "Love Seattle"
For a while, several main actors opened their mouths to bless. This kind of good obedience does not require a cost.
…………
Several main actors, when performing, even if they make mistakes, will hardly exceed five.
Most of the time, it can be passed in one or two, which makes the filming of the movie very efficient.
Lin Nan roughly estimated the time, this "Invisible Guest" can definitely be completed before the end of January.
Paul, from Lionsgate, unexpectedly came to the crew to visit the class, and Lin Nan could vaguely guess the reason.
A crime drama film that gathers top directors and top actors is very likely to go to the Oscars.
Therefore, its release and distribution is also a big business.
It just so happens that the boss of this movie, the director Lin Nan and the actor Leonado, can be seen when they visit the class.
"According to the rules of the Oscars, the film must be released to the public before the end of the year."
"Lin, Leon, give it to Lionsgate, we're friends."
In between shooting, Paul made a remark.
Lin Nan didn't have any opinions, he looked at Leonardo and cast an inquiring look.
The latter nodded: "Yes." However, I need to open as many theaters as possible. ”
"No problem, with your main creative lineup, the theater will be happy too."
After Paul left, Xiao Li Zi muttered to Lin Nan:
"At that time, we will have to discuss the PR agency and the cost of public relations, and Lionsgate is not very good at this."
When Lin Nan heard Xiao Lizi's words, he couldn't help laughing.
How so? This is really terrifying!
Now that the movie is only halfway through, I'm already thinking about Oscar PR!
"Okay, listen to you, then it will be decided in the second half of the year."
Shooting continued, and it was getting dark.
Tom Brangill was helping Jessica's lover fix his car when he saw a delicate luxury men's lighter, which was quite strange.
It stands to reason that only successful men carry this kind of thing with them.
But he remembered that on the way back with Jessica Chastain, when they were chatting, the other party said that it was his sister's car.
He smiled and shook his head, not too concerned.
In the house, Jessica Chastain was already nervous, and the hostess was calling her son's friends, but they all said that they didn't see anyone.
It wasn't until Tom Brangil came in with a car in a fix and reminded him to call his son directly. The hostess, Naomi Watts, another make-up look, reacted.
Jessica hurried to another room and hid the boy's cell phone in her pocket, and everything was covered up.
She also excused herself by leaving directly.
Only an elderly couple is left, and they are still contacting the friends of their son who "forgot to bring their mobile phones" to find someone.
