Chapter 853: Jokes in the Internet Carnival

Looking back at the time, Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch's marriage was never favored. Many people think that this must be a short-lived marriage, and it is not difficult for those who know Wendi Deng to see that the growth process of this woman is a learning guide to how to use her body to climb upward with the help of men. ╞Or �Or �Or .

The outside world has also speculated why Rupert Murdoch married Wendi Deng, the most of which is for the Chinese market.

Unfortunately, Murdoch didn't know enough about the Chinese media market at that time, and the Chinese media market would not look at him differently just because he had a Chinese wife.

On the other hand, Wendi Deng was ambitious and married to Rupert Murdoch, which was much more than just trying to become a billionaire lady. It was just that Murdoch was prepared for her. Wendi Deng not only couldn't enter the decision-making level of News Group, but even her two children had only trust funds and no equity.

In fact, it is not difficult for those who have dealt with this couple to see that it is a matter of time before they part ways.

However, no one expected that things would change so dramatically. Wendy Deng not only gave Rupert Murdoch a cuckold, but also a former British actress.

The "Wendi Deng's letter" published in "Vanity Fair" was frantically transferred by the media and the Internet.

Wendi Deng wrote several 'sticky love letters' in his diary in broken English, "Oh, damn, damn... Why do I miss Tony so much? He is so charming and dressed very well. He has a good figure, very long legs, and a great buttocks. Not only that, he is also thin and tall, with good skin. I love his blue eyes and his style on stage..."

In addition, Vanity Fair also published several photos.

In the photo, Blair and Wendy Deng were fed each other while having dinner at the California farm in Murdoch. The farm servants revealed that they saw Blair enter Wendy Deng's room with their own eyes and closed the door. He spent the night in her bedroom at least three times.═┝.<.

This news was quickly reprinted by major websites, newspapers, radio and television stations. In less than half a day, it spread all over the world, and the whole world was in an uproar...

Then a newspaper pointed out that Wendi Deng and Murdoch were just a show. The attack was just a public relations behavior of News Corporation, and the whole world was deceived by them.

If someone had doubted whether this was slander, but after News Corp.'s various lies-filled behaviors were exposed, the public no longer believed in News Corp.'s media.

Although all three of the parties strongly denied it, Tony Blair was forced to resign from all positions in the Labor Party a few days later, and the latest news broke out in New York newspapers. Murdoch, who was furious, had notified his lawyers to deal with the divorce with Wendi Deng as soon as possible.

Surrounded by strong enemies on the outside, the backyard has already caught fire, this is the situation of Rupert Murdoch.

There are some things that Duke doesn't need to be moved by. Time Warner, Viacom, Conscart and other media companies have been keeping a close eye on News Corp. Their goals are not complicated. They use this incident to truly split News Corp and eliminate a strong competitor.

Before leaving North America, Duke has been paying attention to the progress of this matter. Rupert Murdoch can be said to be facing the most difficult situation in 20 years. Even if News Corp does not split, it will not be as glorious as in the past in the next few years.

While staring at News Corp., Duke also made a deal.

Most of Lucasfilm has high-quality assets such as Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound, but there are also idle departments such as Lucas Animation and Lucas Games. Driven by Duke, Lucas Pictures has also carried out industrial optimization on the basis of maintaining stability. Lucas Animation and Lucas Games were sold to Tempest Entertainment for a package price of 9.50,000 US dollars.

Then, leaving Tina Fey in North America to handle various affairs, Duke led the crew to the UK to prepare to shoot the scenes about Wayne Manor here.

The most important part here is a party. It is also in this party that Selena Kyle broke into Wayne's manor and brought the retired Bruce Wayne back into the dispute.

The shooting location is located in Nottingham, or Irene Lauder's cousin's ancient villa. Unlike the last shot, Duke paid a full rent and renovation fee this time so that the scene is more suitable for shooting.

This is a fairly vintage estate, but Duke has never been interested in history and monuments. He has limited time to shoot in the UK, and in addition to a party scene, he also has to shoot a costume party in London.

Charles Rowan and Anna Prinz who came earlier were basically ready and found enough extras. Duke arrived with Christian Bale, Gal Gadot, Michael Cain and others and immediately started filming.

This is mainly the match between Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne.

There is no doubt that Gal Gadot, who is tall and long and has a model, is more suitable for Catwomen in terms of body shape. Her biggest problem is her acting skills, but Duke does not have high requirements for acting. This is just a commercial film, and it will not be as heavy as "The Dark Knight".

In just two days, Duke finished filming all the scenes with Wayne Manor and was about to lead the crew away from Nottingham and head to London, James Franco, who played John Black, found Duke.

In the reception room of the hotel suite, Duke asked James Franco to sit casually and asked directly, "Come here so late, is there anything wrong?"

"Do you remember the comedy plan I told you before?"

With enough understanding of Duke's style of work, James Franko didn't care about the circle and said directly, "Seth Logan and I have found someone to write the script and have also made some rough plans..."

Speaking of this, James Franco handed Duke the file bag in his hand.

After taking the file bag, Duke browsed it all over again. As James Franco said, it was a typical comedy, but the content was a bit sensitive.

Just like traditional North American comedy, this story is also a typical shit and fart. The protagonist is an American talk show host who runs their very successful celebrity gossip TV show "Tonight's Noble Show". When they appeared that North Korea's top leader Kim Sanpang was a fan of their show, they decided to interview him and try to become an officially authorized reporter.

While they were about to go to North Korea, a team of agents from the US CIA recruited them, which changed the plan for the trip to Pyongyang. The two of them were going to assassinate the great dictator.

According to the past thinking, this is definitely a topic that cannot be touched, but from the perspective of a producer, it is not difficult to realize that this is a plan that is likely to be successful.

For the North American market, this story setting itself is extremely funny, because Kim Sanpang is more like a joke in the Internet carnival than a real politician. Although this is unlikely to become the most prominent political satire film of an era, it is undoubtedly a pleasing, unrestrained and hilarious film adaptation.

Indeed, even if this video is successfully produced, it will be a second-rate or even third-rate film at best, but it will definitely become a hot topic.

The enough topicality determines that this film will definitely not lack audiences.

Of course, in Duke's opinion, whether this video can be successful depends on marketing.

After thinking for a few seconds, Duke returned the file bag to James Franko and said, "After returning to North America, you can go to Warner Bros. I will call Doug Walter."

The projects he recommended will inevitably pass the review of the Warner Bros. Audit Committee.

Three days later, the crew started shooting at the Hilton Hotel in London. Unlike the previous shooting in the Los Angeles studio, the ordinary digital cameras are used here.

Duke will use an IMA camera to shoot action scenes and outdoor scenes, while for smaller scenes, he will use an ordinary camera instead.

However, Duke also used the IMA camera when shooting the panoramic shots of the masquerade.

IMA interior scene shooting such as this is also a challenge for lighting artists. The higher pictures taken by IMA are difficult to hide the lamps. The reason why Duke chose the Hilton Hotel in London is because the banquet hall is designed with square grooves on the ceiling, which can hide the lamps used for lighting.

The lighting group installed 8 750-watt ellipsoid lights on the ceiling overlooking the dance floor, which were shaved with a pocket board and shaped side by side to form a shape that matched the ceiling inlay light, creating the effect of daily lighting through the ceiling light reflection.

When filming the scene where Christian Bell and Gal Gadot danced together, Duke was quite dissatisfied with the close-up of the two's eyes. He asked the lighting team to change the long-mouthed soft light cover LED to provide eye light, and at the same time, a 5k tungsten wire lamp was used to outline the soft light and dark edge light effect, so that the photographed actors' eyes were brighter and more vivid.

Standing in the banquet hall, Duke loudly reminded the light group, "If the camera passes Bell's right shoulder position, you stand on his left shoulder position to light up.

During the shooting, Duke asked for multiple 360-degree rotating lenses between Christian Bell and Gal Gadot, and also allowed the lighting group to create a continuous softening edge light effect through the controllable Chinese lantern-style spherical light arranged above the actor and behind the actor.

After stopping in London for less than a week, the crew took a chartered flight to India. Duke only filmed here for only two days, and led the crew back to North America to shoot outdoor scenes in New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh. (To be continued.)
