Chapter 479: Shooting, about to part ways
Lin Nan and a group of main creators reviewed the shots on the first day of shooting on the crew.
In the drama part, when the female lawyer played by Naomi Watts, with a tone of insight and oppression, repeatedly asked if there was anything to hide.
Leonardo showed extremely unjust, manic, helpless and aggrieved emotions. His eyes even turned red with frustration, and he felt like he was about to collapse.
"These are not enough to save you. If it is really gone, or there are other things, and you don't tell me this defense lawyer.
Then you can only wait for the police and judges to convict you. Because there is no way to prove that someone else killed her..."
Naomi Watts intentionally or unintentionally threw a newspaper on the table, and followed Leonardo's lead, attacking his heart.
The latter glanced at the newspaper subconsciously, and what he saw was a piece of news
The news about a young man who had been missing for several months, and there were photos of the young man's life on it. >Finally, Leonardo in the camera opened his mouth and talked about what happened three months ago...
...
“The first lie always needs to be fulfilled by the second lie. Lin, your script is really great!”
“Thank you for the compliment, Jessica. ”
Lin Nan looked away from the camera and looked at Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts present.
This morning, the Academy announced the Oscar nominations.
"Congratulations on being nominated for the Best Actress Award."
"In addition, before we have finished filming this movie, we have already received inquiries from many film producers and distribution companies."
"Thank you, Lin."
The two said in unison, both in a good mood.
While talking, Lin Nan glanced at Xiao Lizi who seemed as if nothing had happened, and comforted:
"Leon, there is still time, there will be opportunities, right?"
"I hope it's as you said. These old guys always deliberately target me..."
>Obviously, DiCaprio didn't even get a nomination for this year's Oscars.
"Get ready, in five minutes, we will start shooting the second lie story."
"Yeah, no problem."
A few minutes later, on the tree-lined path, filming began.
According to the memory of the male protagonist played by Leonardo:
After the two had an affair out of town, he received a concerned call from his wife and felt guilty, thinking Separate from lover.
He drove his car with his lover in his car, and the two of them were preparing to rush to the airport and go home.
In the car, he took the initiative to mention the breakup. The two parties became emotional and the car speeded up.
At this time, a deer jumped out in front of the car. While dodging, the car collided with another car. The driver on the opposite side was a young man.
The camera moved on the slide rail. In the lens, the young man's head was covered with blood and he was obviously dead. The cell phone that fell on the seat was still receiving chat messages.
Leonardo took out his cell phone in a panic and was about to call the police, but was stopped by his lover played by Jessica.
“No, we can’t call the police. It’s his responsibility. He didn’t wear a seat belt and was texting while driving.
If we call the police, our relationship will be exposed. Think about your wife and daughter. , my husband, our respective careers..."
The male protagonist played by Leonardo DiCaprio was convinced, and they prepared to leave quickly while no one was watching.
Time passed by, but the car just couldn't start. It was obviously a crash.
At this time, a car was approaching from afar. Under the lover's quick wit, the two pretended to be the owners of the two cars and were negotiating to resolve the traffic accident.
The young man who died was laid down in the car to avoid being seen.
“Hi, do you need help?” A middle-aged man passing by rolled up his car window and asked.
"Thank you, no need. I hit his car and we are negotiating to deal with it."
Jessica Chastain replied hurriedly, her tone seemed a little nervous, and it seemed that she had learned from the collision process in her mouth. Didn't get over it.
At this time, the cell phone of the dead young man left in the car rang, "Oh, it should be the insurance company's call, I'll answer it..."
Jessica Chastain He ran over, hung up the call on the young man, pretended to answer the phone and said a few words, then put the phone in his pocket.
Finally, she used her body to block the blood flowing from the gap in the car door to avoid being seen.
In this way, the two fooled each other. But the male protagonist is still a little worried.
“Maybe he saw the body?”
“No, don’t talk about this now, we have to get rid of the body quickly. That person is a witness and may expose us.
You immediately drive this car to dispose of the body. I will wait here for someone to repair the car... From now on, we will not meet again. As you wish, it is over..."
< br>Jessica's body and tone were trembling, but she still made decisive arrangements.
Lin Nan nodded with satisfaction and then signaled the end of the game.
“cut, very good, we ended up shooting here today.”
…………
Every year the Oscars, like the three major European film festivals, It has attracted the attention of filmmakers all over the world.
In China, the nomination list is also being reported.
Especially for Lin Nan's film crew, two actresses were actually shortlisted, which is extremely conspicuous.
Staying at Crystal Pictures, Lin Nan saw the emails sent by Yue Jun, as well as domestic movie information.
""囧囧" exceeded 1.2 billion, and the total box office has reached 1.245 billion, with a daily revenue of one million. It is expected that the box office of 1.3 billion is hopeless."
""Zodiac" total box office report 828 million, Jackie Chan said bluntly, hoping to exceed 900 million before the release..."
...
"The Grandmaster", which Wang Jiawei has been working on for four years, has finally been released in the mainland.
The box office on the first day was 29.4 million, reaching his personal best result. The box office in one day exceeded the total box office of "2046".
The entire Chinese film industry seems to be flattering.
“The director who can make "The Grandmaster" must also be a master!"
"Four years of sharpening a sword, meticulous craftsmanship, craftsman spirit..."
< br>
However, compared to the collective praise in the film and television industry, the Internet is relatively objective.
Many viewers still feel that this movie is a bit too boring.
In terms of reputation, although "The Grandmaster" is good, it is still far from the two movies "Life of Pi" and "1942". The reviews of the latter two are one-sided. There are almost no objections to the praise.
“She really seized the opportunity to make a comeback!”
Lin Nan saw Zhang Ziyi’s movements.
For this movie and for herself, International Chapter worked really hard to promote it.
I'm still in Hollywood, but on average, I post at least two or three Weibo posts every hour, shouting at the top of my lungs.
As one of the Academy's judges, "The Grandmaster" will always be mentioned inadvertently when being interviewed by Hollywood media.
The promotion of movies in February has already begun. It is the prime time for the Lunar New Year, Spring Festival, and Valentine’s Day. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Love in Seattle", "Perfect 2" and other movies will all appear.
Lin Nan thought for a while and replied to Yue Jun and Xue Xiaolu. The promotion of "Love in Seattle" can be stepped up.
As movies of the same type, Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect 2" and Donnie Yen's "Together" are not very competitive in Lin Nan's opinion. Zhang Ziyi has no box office appeal, while Donnie Yen...acting in a romance movie? funny!
Liu Yifei called from Paris with a clear voice: "It will take another day and a half. You can see me in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."
"That can only make Tom I'll take someone to pick you up, I should be on the set," Lin Nan said softly.
"It doesn't matter, you are busy with your business. Besides, I brought a gift back. He... dad gave it to you."
Lin Nan really didn't expect to receive a gift from that person.
"I am inexplicably looking forward to it, Sissi."
"I have said a lot of good things for you. However, you never told me that you have already met! "
"That all happened when we were filming "Inception". Okay, I'll talk to you when you get back. I'm going to the set."
"Yeah. , OK.”
…………
The crew of "The Invisible Guest".
According to the plot, the lover played by Jessica drove to the airport alone after spending some time repairing the car.
But the car broke down again midway. When she was calling for help, she met an old man driving, Tom Bolangier.
The latter used to be an automotive engineer and is now retired at home. He was kind enough to help and could tow Jessica's car back for repairs.
Jessica plays the role of a lover who cannot refuse because she needs to hurry.
But the next thing made her feel creepy.
When she followed the old man back to the latter's home and was introduced to his wife, she saw a family photo and was immediately frightened.
Only then did she realize that the young man who was killed yesterday was the only son of this couple...
And in her jacket pocket, there were still items that she had forgotten to dispose of. Cell phone of young man killed in car accident.
…………
Domestic side.
Zeng Jia hung up Yue Jun’s call and went to the crew’s dressing room to find Yang Mi.
According to the shooting plan, the first two parts of "Tiny 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 coordinate with the movie promotion."
Yang Mi nodded blankly, feeling a little unreal.
The words conveyed by Zeng Jia have another meaning.
It’s time for Yang Mi herself to part ways with Shanhai Media. 3 years go by so fast.
"Well, let's go talk to Director Guo and ask him to adjust my role and make time."
......
A group of leading actors from Taiwan and supporting actors from the Mainland were all envious as they watched Yang Mi and Zeng Jia laughing and chatting with Guo Jingming.
Everyone knows that the only first-line actress in the crew is Yang Mi, and she is the one at the front.
With Shanhai Media and Lin Nan Pictures as our backers, the road ahead is smooth...
“No problem, I also like Director Xue’s movies. You can just run the promotion without any worries, the scenes are just there. I will help you stagger things."
Guo Jingming said to Yang Mi and Zeng Jia with a smile on his face.
"Then thank you, Director Guo."
Yang Mi and Zeng Jia thanked them.
"You're welcome, I wish your "Love in Seattle" will be a big box office success..."
For a while, several main actors spoke their blessings one after another. This kind of obedience does not cost anything.
…………
The main actors rarely make more than five mistakes when performing.
Most of the time, one or two can be passed, which makes the filming efficiency of the movie very high.
Lin Nan roughly estimated the time. This "Invisible Guest" can definitely be completed before the end of January.
Paul from Lionsgate unexpectedly came to visit the crew, and Lin Nan could vaguely guess the reason.
A crime drama film that brings together top directors and top actors is very likely to go for an Oscar.
Therefore, its release and distribution is a big business.
It just so happened that the bosses of this movie, the director Lin Nan and the leading actor Leonardo, were both able to meet during the visit.
"According to Oscar rules, this movie must be released publicly before the end of the year."
"Lin, Leon, give it to Lions Gate, we are friends."
During the filming break, Paul mentioned something.
Lin Nan didn't have any objections. He looked at Leonardo with a questioning look.
The latter nodded: "Yes. However, I need to open as many theaters as possible."
"No problem, with your creative lineup, the theaters will be happy to do so. "
After Paul left, Xiao Lizi muttered to Lin Nan:
"We have to discuss the public relations company and public relations expenses at that time. Lions Gate does not have any responsibility in this regard. Not very outstanding.”
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when she heard Xiao Lizi's words.
How to say it? This is really crazy!
We are only halfway through shooting the movie, and we are already thinking about Oscar PR!
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, then we’ll decide in the second half of the year.”
The shooting continued and it was getting dark.
When Tom Bolangier was helping the lover played by Jessica repair his car, he saw an exquisite luxury men's lighter, which felt strange.
It stands to reason that only successful men would carry this kind of thing with them.
But he remembered that on the way back with him, Jessica Chastain said that it was his sister's car while chatting.
He smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention.
In the room, Jessica Chastain was already very nervous. The hostess was calling her son's friends, but they all said they didn't see anyone.
Until Tom Bolangier came in after repairing the car and reminded him to call his son directly. Only then did the hostess, Naomi Watts, another stylist and makeup artist, react.
Jessica hurriedly went to another room and hid the boy's cell phone in her pocket, hiding everything like this.
She also excused herself and left directly.
Only an elderly couple were left, still contacting their son's friend who "forgot to bring his cell phone", looking for someone.
