Chapter 382 The future is yours
The entire audition, a total of four rounds, was not completed until the end of October.
Most of the characters are just as Chen Linfeng expected.
Benedict plays Chu Xuan, Emma Watson plays Zhan Lan, and Liu Qianqian plays Zhao Yingkong.
In addition, Samuel L. Jackson plays Zhang Jie, and this actor is Nick Fury, the one-eyed director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Chen Linfeng hopes that if he can appear in "Avengers" according to history, it can be used as an easter egg in the third movie.
There are many characters appearing in "Infinite World". In the Zhongzhou team alone, there are at least 20 named teammates.
Although some of them appear in later films, including the villains, there are other plot characters.
The size of the entire crew is not small either.
Just from the casting alone, it’s a truly diverse cast.
There are characters of all skin colors.
Even many domestic actors got the news and came to audition.
Shi Xiaolong also came to try, and was actually chosen to play Cheng Xiao.
He needs to know martial arts and acupuncture, plus he has a background in a martial arts family, a typical Chinese setting.
Shi Xiaolong also had an advantage in this aspect, and with Chen Linfeng's behind-the-scenes force, it was a near miss.
Chen Linfeng didn't pay much attention to the others.
He agreed to Jiang Wen's guest appearance on the set of "Let the Bullets Fly", so he returned to China on the 23rd.
Early in the morning on October 24, we rushed to Liuli Town, Huairou, where there is China Film’s digital production base.
"Let the Bullets Fly" was also filmed here.
When he arrived at the set, Jiang Wen came out to pick him up.
"Brother, do you know any news? Why are you here at this time?"
Chen Linfeng asked curiously, "What news?"
Jiang Wen glanced at him but saw no clue.
"You really don't know?"
Chen Linfeng became even more strange, "What exactly are you asking about?"
Jiang Wen kept it secret, "Absolutely."
The two of them stopped communicating and walked to the set silently.
The crew members obviously didn't know anything yet and were preparing for filming tasks as usual.
Chen Linfeng also saw Ge You, who was lying on a chair and basking in the sun.
This time he tilted his head and saw the person coming, and stood up quickly.
"Hey, Director Chen is here too."
"Uncle Ge, long time no see."
Ge You looked awkward, "Aren't you ashamed of me? Just call me Ge You or Xiao Ge."
Chen Linfeng laughed, "Is Xiao Ge serious? It's still Brother Ge."
The two were chatting when someone else spoke to them.
"Xiao Chen, you are not kind."
Chen Linfeng turned around and said, "Hey, Teacher Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been lately?"
He thought of what the other party had just said and wondered, "Where did I offend Teacher Zhao?"
Zhao Fei said angrily, "I was abandoned after "Star You". I said it well at the beginning, but you will ask me for help in the future, but you forgot about me in the next two movies."
< br>
Chen Linfeng was dumbfounded, it turned out to be this.
What you said back then was true.
When a normal adult says this, isn't it the same as "I'll treat you to dinner another day"?
He also wanted to avoid looking for people as much as possible to avoid annoying people.
Chen Linfeng thought for a long time, but finally couldn't figure out how to reply.
He hesitated and said, "It's my fault, I still want to avoid bothering Teacher Zhao."
It’s not troublesome at all. What’s the trouble?
Even if it was a bit casual at first.
But starting from "Exploding Drummer", Zhao Fei felt a little regretful.
After "Sunset," it was just heartbreaking.
All the benefits went to that boy Cao Yu.
Zhao Fei looked at the other party with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Forget it, I don't have this luck, I can't blame you."
Seeing this, Chen Linfeng comforted him, "It's okay. Director Jiang is also very good. In my opinion, "Let the Bullets Fly" is a good film."
When Jiang Wen heard this, he pretended to be unhappy, "What's the matter, you don't like me? What do you mean, my level is also very high, I am so high, okay?"
Zhao Fei gasped and almost laughed, "Don't make another "The Sun Also Rises"."
Jiang Wen is really not happy now. You said that I can do other things, but I can't talk about works that I am proud of.
Immediately, he was going to teach Zhao Fei.
While they were laughing and joking, there was a commotion outside.
Soon someone trotted over and whispered something in Jiang Wen's ear.
Jiang Wen's expression immediately became serious, and then without saying a word, he called everyone present to greet him.
The big leader is here!
The following content is briefly summarized.
Observe, listen, encourage, and inspire.
Of course, it is still somewhat different from a real leadership inspection.
The big leader is not in office now, so he can have more time.
I originally had a certain understanding of Jiang Wen’s new works, so I came here to be a bit of a platform.
in process.
He was quite surprised to see Chen Linfeng in this crew, so he took the initiative to ask.
Obviously, I have heard of his name on a regular basis.
Later I found out that he was here to make a guest appearance and he had a good relationship with Jiang Wen.
So I also encouraged him and asked him to continue working hard. In the future, he might represent the image of China outside.
Work hard, the future belongs to you young people.
Although it was a casual remark, Chen Linfeng's blood boiled when he heard it.
After all, the person who said this is special. Moreover, when he first traveled through time, he had thought about socialist successors.
Unexpectedly, I heard from the boss’s mouth and with my own ears that the future is his.
Chen Linfeng automatically ignored the "men" at the end. If nothing else, he just felt good in his heart for a while.
The entire inspection lasted quite a long time, and there was even a test shoot on site.
Let people take a look at today’s film shooting process.
Jiang Wen also briefly talked about the plot of his movie.
The other party glanced at him and said nothing more.
For people of this level to say that they cannot understand the deeper meaning of the work, they are just joking.
After all, they were almost all involved back then.
The big boss didn't come just for the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly". It can only be said to be by the way.
Then they went to visit the construction of the film and television base, leaving the crew to busy themselves.
After a large group of people left, the entire crew seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even people like Jiang Wen, who are extremely confident, and people like Chen Linfeng, who have had special experiences, are somewhat nervous.
He would not be like the protagonist in a historical novel, who thought he could maintain a sense of superiority after traveling back in time and meeting the emperor.
In fact, no one can help but feel nervous when facing someone who can determine their future and destiny.
The person with the highest status I had ever seen in my previous life was just the president of the university.
At that time, the principal shook hands and talked with the second-generation students in the dormitory, but he didn't dare to come up and talk to them.
Momentum sounds like a futile thing, but it is actually a sense of atmosphere. When you go to a place, you will feel it naturally.
Most people don't have this experience, so it's actually very difficult to ignore it.
Chen Linfeng is certainly much better now and has richer experience.
He was even thinking at that time, so he didn't wear it 30 years earlier, otherwise, he would have to meet the boss who was earlier.
That was the person he truly admired.
"Okay, everyone, please calm down," Jiang Wen reassured.
However, there was definitely no filming in the morning, so Chen Linfeng naturally postponed it until the afternoon.
They had dinner together at noon and couldn't help but chat excitedly about what happened in the morning.
A few Yanjing gentlemen are enough for them to brag for a while.
In the afternoon, Chen Linfeng's guest scene was officially filmed.
As mentioned at the beginning, Chen Linfeng's cameo is an additional role.
After kidnapping Huang Shilang, he kidnapped his substitute.
Zhang Mazi said he would find one for him when he had time, and then he found Chen Linfeng.
Zhang Mazi: "Do you think he looks like me?"
Master Tang: "It doesn't look like it."
Zhang Mazi: "It doesn't look like it?"
The third child: "I think it's like, the eldest brother is so handsome."
Zhang Mazi: "I'm like a fart. Don't always listen to what I say. Do I look like someone who can't tell right from wrong?"
……
Chen Linfeng made a guest appearance as Professor Chen, satisfying his desire to have a good time in "Let the Bullets Fly" and leaving with satisfaction.
Back in Hollywood, the casting for "Infinite World" is almost complete.
During the next period of time, Chen Linfeng had no major problems, but small ones.
In addition to paying attention to the preparations for "Infinite World", you should also pay attention to the film "The Ugly Duckling Can Turn into a Swan" that Cheng Er filmed.
After all, I am the producer, so I still have to control the quality.
When others see his name on it, most of them will just think it is his work.
Just like "Sword Rain", Wu Yusen is the producer, but the public still thinks it is Lao Wu's work.
In fact, Cheng Er's own level is passable, and there are no problems with the shots he took.
Chen Linfeng mainly paid attention to the rhythm and integrity of the story from the perspective of screenwriter.
Too many directors ignore this aspect. The more senior a director is, the more likely it is that problems will arise in this area.
Fortunately, Cheng Er is just starting out and is working harder on the story.
Chen Linfeng watched the edited film and felt that there was no big problem, so he called him and asked him to continue with post-production.
At the same time, he also had to personally follow the later stages of "Hurricane Rescue".
The editing had actually been completed a long time ago, and when he was doing the promotion, he was also following up on it.
The slight difference from his previous life is that Chen Linfeng moved forward the kidnapping scene.
At the beginning of the movie, the daughter screams, and then as the father, he talks cruelly to the other party on the phone.
Then, the main story officially started.
In other words, the previous foreshadowing content has become a semi-reverse order.
This can quickly arouse the audience's emotions and keep them curious.
In the original version of the previous life, the foreshadowing part is a bit boring to be honest.
After the changes, it should be better.
At the end of October, Liu Qianqian took a weekend break and came to play with Chen Linfeng.
Georgia is in the eastern part of Emily County, and Los Angeles is in the west, which is actually quite far away.
However, China’s aviation industry is relatively developed, so long-distance flights are actually relatively better.
Chen Linfeng has now bought a house in Los Angeles, just in time for the financial crisis when house prices plummeted.
Compared with the peak in 2006, the average price has dropped by about 3-40%.
For high-end residences in popular areas, the decline is not very obvious.
But Chen Linfeng bought it as a residence in Hollywood, so he didn't care about it.
After spending 10 million US dollars, the end of October will be the right time to move in.
Liu Qianqian took Chen Linfeng and wandered around the yard while visiting her new home and chatting about her experience on the set of "The Walking Dead".
"Others are fine. Mainly I think the cast of extras are amazing and more professional than those in China."
"Well, that's normal. The film and television industry here is indeed more developed." Chen Linfeng nodded.
The top actors may all be of similar skill, but the gap at the bottom will be larger.
He realized this when he was filming "Taken".
