Chapter 591 Tang Monk Meat
Time always disappeared quietly. In the next few days, Lin Han spent almost sleeping in the study all day except for necessary rest, but he still couldn't finish writing "Interstellar".
However, the current progress has reached about 80%. If he is given a whole day, he can submit the novel to the publishing house. Unfortunately, he has no more!
After more than three months of preparation and training, the movie "The Matrix" was officially filmed in the studio of the Yanjing Film and Television Base.
There was no special opening ceremony, no lively opening press conference, and there was not even one reporter interviewed, and the entire crew was quite low-key!
Lin Han was sitting in front of the monitor wearing a baseball cap. The lighting engineer was using professional tools to measure the lights in the studio. A lot of plots in the whole movie were solved with green screens in the studio to facilitate the special effects in the later stage.
Chu Guang, who plays Neo, has already walked out of the dressing room at this time. Although he has been training for so long and has tried filming several times, he has become nervous after the crew has arrived!
He had never played the protagonist before, but now his brain is a little empty and he has never heard what the people around him are saying.
Lin Han looked at him in a daze and couldn't help but walk up to the front and pat his shoulder, looking old-fashioned: "Xiao Chu, don't be nervous either. Our movies do not have high requirements for acting. You just need to be handsome and cool when acting. This is your strongest point!"
"No problem, Director Lin, I'll try to have a good start." Chu Guang put sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, showed his neat teeth, and gave a handsome smile.
At this time, Xu Jiayan also came over. He patted the suit tailored and said with emotion: "For the first time I felt this treatment, I actually asked Armani to customize 30 sets of exactly the same suits for me, which felt a bit wasteful."
Although Agent Smith always wears the same black suit in the movie, it will inevitably get dirty or torn during shooting, so it is easy to prepare a few more sets!
What's more, Xu Jiayan is about to become the global spokesperson for Armani's high-order suits, and together with many Hollywood male stars, he has become the number one person in Asia.
Although Lin Han gave him a low salary, he made a profit in other aspects!
Lin Han said to Xu Jiayan: "You and Xiao Chu will first compete with each other to avoid forgetting the time. The fight we filmed today is relatively simple, so you are responsible for taking him."
Xu Jiayan's acting skills were not shown much in the first part of the movie. How to act Agent Smith more abominable and how to make the audience realize that he is different from the other agents is the main content of his thinking.
After the two leading actors practiced, the scene record started with a snap in front of the camera with a slam. The first scene of the Matrix officially started!
The shooting here does not follow the timeline of the movie, but takes action scenes first, and all literary scenes are left for later shooting, so that the actors can concentrate on shooting the tormented scenes, so that they can avoid being tortured every few days.
Every move in the movie has been carefully designed and practiced, so Chu Guang and Xu Jiayan both understand that they are just cheating, but outsiders seem to be fighting!
The wind is born, you punch me and I punch you, and you fist it, and it seems to hurt a lot.
In fact, it does hurt a lot. They both have a lot of bruises on their bodies. They have to go back every night to use bruises and damage medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If their fans find out, they will not feel sorry for them.
But this is a real actor, who brings the word dedication to the extreme, which is a hundred times better than those young and fresh meats who want to send notices on a horse!
The two of them were fighting attentively, and no one dared to be distracted at all, but at this time, Lin Han held the loudspeaker and shouted: "Stop! You two can't just fight, the camera can't take a photo of your face. This is filming a movie. You remember the camera before fighting, and the sense of the camera cannot be forgotten!"
Chu Guang rubbed his arm. Even though he was just pretending to be beaten, it still hurts. "Brother Jiayan, let's do it again."
It is almost impossible to make a movie without ng and finish it in one go.
The previous filming of "Immortality" was almost a myth. The professors invited to act, but there is no problem with memorizing the lines related to themselves!
In fact, the fights in "The Matrix" need to be paired with special effects to look good. If there is no special effects, it seems that it is much worse than domestic action movies like this.
After all, domestic action movies focus on action and kung fu fighting, and this is just an embellishment in "The Matrix". What is important is the shock of special effects and visual effects, and the attractiveness of concepts!
With Lin Han’s reminder, their shooting went much smoother next. Three cameras shot their fights in different directions, and they cooperated very well.
"Stop! This scene has passed!"
Accompanied by Lin Han's voice, everyone on the set clapped excitedly. With such a good start, the subsequent shooting will always get better!
The morning passed without realizing it. Before Lin Han could come back to his senses, the crew's lunch came over.
Chen Jiaxuan was not a regular on the set, but today is the first day of the filming. The lunch boxes she ordered for everyone were delicious and cheap. After all, lunch boxes also cost money!
Celebrities such as Xu Jiayan and Shen Yanling all brought food to their assistants, but Lin Han and the crew did not consider their diet.
Holding a box of lunch, Lin Han said to Chen Jiaxuan: "The taste is pretty good. I will order this store for a long time in the future and let them change the dishes every day."
Since the crew members are working hard, Lin Han is not ready to drag his feet on logistics, so he has to have enough food to have the energy to work.
Chen Jiaxuan has a not very appetite. After taking a few bites, she said, "When you have time now, I'll tell you something serious. The English version of "The Matrix" has been completed. Penguin Publishing Group means that we want us to help promote it. The paperback simplified Chinese version of the Renmin University Publishing House has also been released. There are many publishing houses in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who want traditional Chinese publishing rights, and they have not yet authorized them to any one."
Lin Han was not in the mood to care about these things. After his movie was officially filmed, his mind was full of the dispatch of movie scenes. Fortunately, it is now a studio scene and there is no need for too many actors, otherwise he would be helpless.
"You can help me deal with these things. If you publish traditional Chinese, please find someone you have worked with before, so that you can know the truth."
"The Chinese and English versions of the Matrix are scheduled to be launched on May 1st. The goal is to impact the monthly sales record, but it is probably very unstoppable. Then I remind you to post a Weibo post and post a promotion, and you have to try it!"
Lin Han is not interested in the record. It is good to sell one more book, but he never thought about leaving his name or something. After all, "The Matrix" has been serialized online, and the appeal is probably limited.
All its mystery has been revealed. Apart from true fans, who would spend money to buy a book to read it?
At that time, so many novels that were not exposed failed to create a single-month sales record. Moreover, Lin Han was not optimistic about this book, and he did not know where the confidence came from.
After lunch, Xu Jiayan, who has no chance, can take a break for a while, but Chen Yanling, who plays Trinity, has to change into a leather jacket and start filming!
The bright black leather jacket looks particularly suitable for Shen Yanling. This actress has a proud figure and beauty. The flexibility she had in her previous dance was played a huge role at this time. The role of beating a girl in Hollywood some time ago also gave her a foundation.
Therefore, among the four leading actors, she is actually the most advantageous. She is very familiar with the wire hanging and other things. She can tie the wire and make beautiful moves without any guidance from martial arts coaches!
With her cold face and long legs, Chen Yanling made a subtitle and felt very beautiful. Her whole person was particularly light. With the help of Wia, she could run on the wall and then climb over. She looked no less than Neo's. I guess many girls would call her husband after the movie.
On the first day, Lin Han didn’t want to film it too late, so he finished work around 7 o’clock in the evening, which attracted the cheers of the entire crew!
Lin Han said to Shao Guoqiang, the producer director on the scene: "Old Shao, you can clean up the tools on the scene first, and then hand over the security guard. There will be no problems on the scene."
"Director Lin, we have already handled it, fire, theft and reporters!"
At this moment, Lin Han's cell phone rang. He nodded at Shao Guoqiang and said that he knew about it, and then he took his cell phone to the parking garage outside the studio.
Miao Hong asked on the phone: "Boss, I heard that you have finished work. You haven't disturbed you when you call me now, right?"
"No, I'm about to drive home, just say anything you have."
Lin Han put on Bluetooth headphones and put his phone aside, and twisted the key and started to fire.
Miao Hong sighed and said, "Boss, I really can't stand it anymore. The movie "The Matrix" is simply a hot commodity. Since your novel was finished and the cast was exposed, many film companies and others have asked me about wanting to participate in the investment in "The Matrix"!"
With the explosive growth of the Chinese film market, more and more capital has poured in, which has made the competition more intense. There are many people waving checks, but they dare not invest casually, and they are worried that they will be wasted.
Lin Han now seems to be a piece of Tang Monk's flesh that exudes infinite charm. Such a good movie and such a strong lineup, he is actually solely owned by himself!
What's more, science fiction movies adapted from Lin Han's novels are almost all big sellers. Think about "The Mars Rescue" which is popular in the global market, and "Immortality", which sets the highest input-output ratio of Chinese-language films, these capitalists who do not understand the film market will of course target Lin Han's new films.
"You can refuse it for me, just say we are not short of funds for the time being and we will cooperate later if we have the opportunity."
Chapter completed!
