Chapter 501 Hot Topics

Director Ridley brought someone with him when he came, but this time he was not an agent, but Leonardo, who was a dancer. They were obviously surprised by the sturdy fortress-like house, but Ridley Scott also knew something about it. He even teased his master's habit of collecting sunglasses.

Mr. Scott has already had a relatively mature view of the script. He hopes to highlight the unique scenes in the play, all kinds of incredible things that break human imagination, and a magnificent epic feeling. He believes that technical conditions were needed in the past, but now that technical conditions are not restricted, technology should be completely used to serve the plot.

Of course, Mr. Scott is not the kind of person who does not have box office for art. He has high requirements for his films, and he must be able to make money and have a good impression. The owner of this aspect also agrees. He would rather play a low-priced and profound role than a high-priced and shallow role. In order to play "Shutland", he also went to a mental hospital to experience life, and in order to play "Inception", he also gained weight.

Mr. Scott was very happy about the host's affection. He also knew that there would be many celebrity guest appearances in this film. He hoped to arrange these big names in a unified manner, rather than asking them. In this regard, Lydia gave the director absolute power and did not interfere with his decision. Mr. Scott was not that kind of stubbornness, and he also asked Leo what type of role he wanted to play.

Leonardo's idea is to either play a pure supporting role that doesn't appear much, or only one or two shots, so that it's not troublesome to him. It doesn't have to affect the shooting of "Hoover"; or play a character with distinctive characteristics, and he has to spend energy to figure out the inner world of the character. He tries to do his best, so that it takes more time, the main reason is that he doesn't want to smash the sign.

Mr. Scott said it was acceptable. If it was the first type, he found two human non-commissioned officers from the script, and this kind of role was one or two shots; if it was the latter type, he planned to let Leonardo play the teammate who followed the heroine to perform the first mission, so there were not many scenes. But there was enough room to show the role. However, this teammate might have to sacrifice in the end. It is estimated that some excited fans may scold the director.

Leonardo doesn't care whether to sacrifice or not. As long as he can give him room for performance, he doesn't care about this at all. This aspect will be negotiated soon. As for the film pay, he only asked for $1 symbolically after reading the script, which is a real cameo. Lydia is very happy, plus Schwarzenegger and Yuri Nakano who have already agreed. There are two other people who have already five guest appearances.

Her plan is to find at least ten guest stars, use their influence to warm up the film, and by the way, the purpose of spending less money and doing more. After talking about the main business, the next one is to chat. Naturally, everyone will first talk about the recent explosive incidents, District 51 and the Machine Bear. This matter has now become the hottest topic in the United States. It is said that some filmmakers have planned to make this into a movie, and it seems that Americans are just fine.

There are many things in the circle that are not hidden. Lydia is not very strong in this regard, but even though Mr. Scott has a long connection, he knows all the gossip. Now three film companies are planning to shoot this incident. One is planning to focus on the name of District 51 and bring out aliens and other things; the other is pure disaster film; the last one is Warner, a veteran film company. It seems that he intends to make a disaster comedy, and I don’t know how the two are together.

It seems that after 911, many movies made similar stories under the name of reflection. Although in order to avoid irritating the public, many details and main plots are different, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is alluding to 911. Unlike 911, the 51-zone machine bear incident did not cause much harm to the public, but this incident highlights the fragility of the US military, which is exactly the subject that filmmakers like, and there will definitely be various reflection routines.

Liu Jinpeng also took the opportunity to pull Zhu Lin over and ask how his movie was filmed. Zhu Lin was not very happy about it. He said absent-mindedly: "The progress is not bad. Now he has started filming outdoor dramas. It will take more than half a month to finish the filming."

Wan Yichen is a little better than Zhu Lin, and he can also say some data: "I have spent $470,000 now. I estimate that this time it may exceed 600,000. The salary and pay for employees here are the most expensive. The labor costs in the United States are really too high. Equipment rental is cheaper than in China. Renting an indoor set is only 2,000 US dollars a day, and outdoor films are completely free."

You can just find a place on the street and just clear the scene a little. There are so many things like Hollywood, pedestrians cooperate very well, and there are even guys who take the initiative to be free extras, just showing their faces on the camera. The most troublesome thing about outdoor sets is special locations, such as government buildings and stadiums, but there are no such things in this movie, which saves a lot of trouble.

Wan Yichen and Zhu Lin learned a lot of things when filming with the crew this time, and they had to experience many things in person. Zhu Lin originally thought that investing in filming should be very simple, but who knew that once you have to control costs, the energy you spend is not much less than doing business. He is just lazy, and now he regrets it a little. It's okay for Wan Yichen. He is interested in these things, so he naturally learns with great care, which is much more patient than Zhu Lin.

Liu Jinpeng had no other requirements for them, just don’t give up halfway. He finished filming this film. When it was released, they probably had ideas again. Seeing that the things he had worked hard turned into film and released, this sense of accomplishment is extraordinary. I believe these two people will definitely want to continue doing it at that time. However, if the film is not sold, it will not be a good thing, so they probably have to stop.

After sitting for a while, Leonardo invited everyone to the restaurant for lunch. Since there was no hostess, his lunch was relatively simple. Leo is not married yet, and has changed girlfriends in recent years and is both supermodels. He probably couldn't make up. After a simple meal, Liu Jinpeng and Liu Mei planned to say goodbye. They were planning to go to Las Vegas for a few days in the near future, and now they are going home to prepare.

Everyone was surprised when they heard that they were going to Las Vegas. The 51th District Machine Bear incident has just ended. What is going on there is still unclear? I guess not many people dare to go there. However, Liu Jinpeng said that this was a scheduled schedule a long time ago, so it was not surprising. Lydia wanted to go and see it, but she is busy preparing for the movie and has no time to join in the fun.

Leonardo has a complicated personality and is both a survival crazier and has a passionate and exciting side. He has not yet decided whether to go or not. He will have to go back to the crew in a few days. Zhu Lin wanted to go, but there was no time for him to go there, but there was no one left on the set. Wan Yichen didn't want to play the whole audience alone. In the end, the two compromised each other. Anyway, Las Vegas was close, so they just went to play in exchange. Liu Jinpeng didn't want to bring these two light bulbs at all, but they didn't give up their jobs when they changed, so he didn't say much.

After returning to Liu Mei's house, Liu Mei went back to the third floor to prepare her luggage, while Liu Jinpeng went to the living room to talk to Liu Shuquan about her leaving. Liu Shuquan also completed the work at hand, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a glass of light amber whiskey in her hand, and kept smelling it.

Seeing Liu Jinpeng coming in, Liu Shuquan's face changed, and he immediately stuffed the wine glass under the feet of the sofa and hid it. Then he showed an expression of not knowing anything, and even coughing twice. Liu Jinpeng laughed secretly. He had sent a nano mosquito to Liu Shuquan for genetic modification liquid, and his original problems gradually disappeared, and even drinking some wine was nothing.

However, because Liu Shuquan's attitude has always been very unfriendly, the petty Liu Jinpeng decided to let Comrade Liu be punished for a few more days, even if it was a training for his bad temper. After a while, the father-in-law and the prospective son-in-law sat for a few minutes. Liu Shuquan found that his daughter had not come in and asked strangely: "Where is my daughter?"

Liu Jinpeng pretended to be enlightened and patted his thighs and said, "Ah, I forgot. Meier and I plan to go to Las Vegas according to the itinerary for a few days, and we are ready to set off, so I'll tell you, Meier should be ready to pack upstairs now."

This kind of thing can be forgotten. Liu Shuquan didn't believe it at all. He said angrily: "It's so chaotic now, the dust has not yet settled. What are you going there to do? I don't agree."

Liu Jinpeng smiled and said with apologizing: "The matter has been resolved, the machine monsters have fallen, and Las Vegas is spared. Shouldn't we cheer?"

Liu Shuquan was a little proud, and a sense of superiority arose, and said proudly: "You are an amateur. If such a big thing happens, shouldn't the government give an explanation? What's the matter? The fall of the giant bear in the machine is just beginning, and the front and behind the scenes will be very busy next time. Before a compromise is reached, all these political forces will emerge. Look at it."

Liu Jinpeng smiled secretly. When Liu Shuquan saw that Liu Mei was not yet able to come down, he quickly reached out to take the cup out of the sofa, intending to hide the cup in a safer place. As a result, his luck was so bad that as soon as he got the cup, Liu Mei jumped in, carrying a two-foot-high suitcase in his hand.

"Dad!" As soon as Liu Mei entered the door, she saw what was in her father's hand. She couldn't help but yell and slapped the box to the ground.

A man who was so arrogant, Liu Shuquan shivered, and quickly smiled and said, "I poured it for Xiaopeng, and I don't drink it, right?" This looked like a question, but in fact it was a affirmative sentence. When Liu Jinpeng was asked, he could only nod his head with a smile and take the dirty cup by the way.

Liu Mei snatched the cup and put it on the table, and taught Liu Jinpeng a lesson, saying, "Don't lie to me with my dad."

Liu Jinpeng had no other expression except hehe. Liu Shuquan quickly interrupted: "You are going to Las Vegas? It's a bit dangerous now. I'll send a few people to protect you."

Liu Mei insisted on not protecting her. The name "protection" is actually a stalking. She didn't expect anyone to report her actions everywhere. In the end, Liu Shuquan compromised, but he still asked for a special inquiries and knew that a hotel in Las Vegas had already started business, so he asked someone to book a room.

Liu Mei knew that her father had a strong desire for control and would definitely have other problems if he didn't let him go. It would be better to let him do it for a while.
Chapter completed!
