I became popular on the stage

Chapter 657 "Transformers" is officially completed! (Two in one, ask for a monthly pass)

A movie shooting location in North America.

Longman had never been so comfortable. He felt that the stuffiness that had been suppressed in his chest since October last year was almost released.

Seeing the smile on Langman's face, the assistant asked curiously, "Mr. Langman, why are you so happy?"

In recent months, he rarely saw Langman smiling, almost always with a straight face.In particular, his temper was much worse than last year, which made everyone in the crew be cautious.

Langman said happily: "Of course I'm happy, do you know? Lin Xuan actually took the initiative to call me just now. On the phone, he said that he hoped that my movie would be rescheduled so that I would not collide with his movie. Hahaha, he He actually came to beg me, he actually came to beg me. What about his arrogance? What about his arrogance? Back then, when I was a big Hollywood director, I made a Hollywood fantasy blockbuster that was popular all over the world, and he actually loved a war movie. I was defeated. How unreasonable!"

The assistant asked, "Did you agree?"

"promise?"

Langman showed an exaggerated expression: "Oh, God! Is he too naive? I finally found such an opportunity, finally had a chance to be proud, can I agree? How much pressure and grievances I have endured in the past, this time I Take it all back!"

The assistant asked: "But if Lin Xuan intentionally finds an off-season to release his movie in order to avoid the schedule of your new movie, what will you do?"

Most of the release time of European and American movies will be in the summer or Christmas time, and the other times will be relatively colder.If Lin Xuan chooses to release his movie in March and April, it will definitely have a great impact on the movie box office.Especially the big-budget movies directed by Longman can easily affect tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of box office.

This is a risk that any film investor can hardly bear.

Langman snorted: "Don't worry about this. I know Lin Xuan in Huaxia. He is a proud young man. It can be seen from the fact that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to enter Hollywood this time. Especially in " "Transformers" is the first Hollywood movie made by Chinese people. Over a billion people in China are waiting for Lin Xuan to shine in Hollywood. Therefore, in order for Lin Xuan to get the most response, there is a high probability that he will be in the most popular movie It will be released on schedule. Have you ever heard a saying? The person who knows you best is often your enemy. And I know Lin Xuan best!"

The assistant thought about it.

Take it seriously.

But after a while, he still asked: "Mr. Langman, do you think it is possible for Lin Xuan to make a good mech film?"

"Hahaha."

Langman laughed: "Yes, of course the probability. But the probability is as small as my movie losing to him. Do you think my movie will lose to him?"

The assistant shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible!"

Are you kidding me?
Can Longman lose to Lin Xuan?Not to mention the total box office, when the movie is released, it is estimated that the box office of Langman's new movie is only the first day, and Lin Xuan's mech movie will be far behind.

Langman smiled: "Isn't that enough?"

The assistant thought for a while and said, "But why did Lin Xuan's movie cost as much as [-] million US dollars? Where did his money go?"

Langman snapped his fingers: "This is a better explanation. Before, many people thought that Lin Xuan's investment of [-] million U.S. dollars was because mecha movies burned money. But I also doubted it at the beginning, after all, mecha movies burn more money." It can't burn [-] million. But after reading the announcement of the second world today, I instantly understood the purpose of Lin Xuan's investment of [-] million US dollars: that is the salary!
He invited Adonis, Anthony, Cyril, Barron... These people are all the top Hollywood movie stars, and the salary of any one of them is more than 1.5 million U.S. dollars.I estimate that in order to attract them, Lin Xuan will definitely pay more than [-] million yuan in remuneration, because only double the remuneration can make these top movie stars agree to appear in the movie.In this way, the most he can spend on the film is [-] million U.S. dollars.For $[-] million, what kind of mecha film do you think can be shot?I bother! "

The assistant showed deep admiration on his face.

Langman's analysis was reasonable and he understood everything about Lin Xuan in an instant.

Only in this way can Lin Xuan's actions be explained: no wonder the investment is as high as [-] million, which was originally used to hire people.

……

……

second world.

Because the "Transformers" project has been established, a huge company began to work around this movie urgently.

Regarding the crew, Lin Xuan originally planned to spend a lot of money to hire a mature Hollywood crew.But with the addition of Adonis and Anthony and others.

Anthony, the film star, directly introduced the crew he often worked with, which saved Lin Xuan a lot of energy.And because the other party is a crew member that Anthony and Adonis are familiar with, Lin Xuan quickly got to know the crew, and he was able to shoot as quickly as possible.

Not only that!

Anthony, the leading figure in the film industry, has shown his super connections in Hollywood.

Originally, if Lin Xuan wanted to gather the good actors of "Transformers", he would also have to put in a lot of hard work and energy. After all, even if he is an unknown actor, he would feel guilty when he heard Lin Xuan's audition invitation.

But now.

It's different.

Anthony simply took the list of actors selected by Lin Xuan from Huang Ming, and then asked his assistant to call them one by one.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Baker?"

"I'm."

"Would you like to participate in the audition invitation for Lin Xuan's "Transformers" movie?"

"Mr. Lin Xuan from China?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, we don't have this idea for now, are you his assistant?"

"No, I'm Mr. Anthony's assistant. Mr. Anthony asked me to ask."

"Mr. Anthony? . . . Oh, God! I promise! Anytime I can."

……

"Hello, are you Miss Ellen? There is a role in the mecha movie "Transformers" directed by Lin Xuan that suits you very well. I hope you can come to audition. I wonder if you are interested?... By the way, let me introduce myself first , I am Bazel, Mr. Anthony's assistant."

"Oh, sorry, maybe I didn't think so. Huh? Anthony, which Anthony?"

"It's the actor Anthony."

"He... he... he came to invite me?"

"Yes, since Mr. Anthony will also be in the film, I thought you might have a chance to meet."

"I promise!"

……

Similar conversations go through every phone call.

In just over an hour, Anthony's assistant told Huang Ming that everyone's audition invitations had been settled.Hearing this, Huang Ming was taken aback for a while.

After all, Huang Ming had been in contact for several hours before this, but only four or five actors were willing to audition.From this point, it can be seen how influential Anthony is in North America.

Even Lin Xuan was secretly speechless.

Because even in Huaxia, I guess it would be difficult for me to reach Anthony's prestige. Just a phone call can make all the other actors flock to him without even reading the script.

Anthony's help to the film is far more than this.

In "Transformers", most of the film's plot involves the participation of the army and the police, involving the appearance of officials at all levels in North America, and also requires a lot of military equipment, such as: fighter jets, helicopters, tanks, machine guns... and many more.

If it was in Huaxia, it would be easy for Lin Xuan to get help from the military.

Available in North America?

Lin Xuan did not have any channels to contact the North American military.

His original idea was to buy some local troops with a lot of money, and then ask them to cooperate with the filming.

but doing this:

The first is the huge consumption of funds.

The second is that it is difficult to apply for the military equipment that one wishes.

The third is that as a Chinese, it is difficult for him to get the cooperation of the army.It is estimated that the military will probably embarrass itself and even make it difficult to shoot.

This is also what Lin Xuan was most worried about before making a movie.

But when Anthony came out, a few calls were made directly.Even a lot of the military took the initiative to come over, mysteriously saying that they could provide some advanced equipment for display in the movie.

Lin Xuan was stunned: "Mr. Anthony, do you even have such a deep relationship with the military?"

Anthony smiled: "Mr. Lin, don't you have military connections in your own country?"

"Yes, yes."

Lin Xuandao: "It's possible, but it's only the most superficial relationship. If I want to use military equipment and troops, I have to go through a lot of audits. I can't be so relaxed and comfortable like you."

The filming of the last movie "Changjin Lake" used a lot of troops and equipment because of any official support, and the equipment was abandoned antiques, so it didn't matter.

But if you want to use high-tech aircraft, tanks and various weapons in "Transformers", it seems that there is no director in China who can do it.

Anthony smiled and said, "Maybe it's due to different national conditions? In North America, it's not new for Hollywood directors to cooperate with the military. As long as you can afford the price, except for some important national weapons, other high-tech equipment can be given to you." Come on. Even U2 stealth bombers, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, rockets and other equipment can allow you to shoot a few shots. And the military is also willing to participate in Hollywood blockbusters, so that the public can also know the North American military in the movies Power, to achieve a deeply rooted role."

Lin Xuan nodded.

In many Hollywood blockbusters, all kinds of advanced weapons can be seen everywhere. Although most of them are post-production effects, it can also be seen that the North American military strongly supports Hollywood blockbusters.This kind of support is also one of the reasons why Hollywood blockbusters are far more exciting than other movies.

With Anthony's help, Lin Xuan really felt relieved.

Everything is ready!

After Guan Yuman's concert is over, the filming can start officially!

but.

One day in the middle of the journey, Huang Ming found Lin Xuan and raised a question of his own: "Mr. Lin, I have a doubt in my heart. I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Tell me, I actually guessed what you were going to ask."

Huang Ming was stunned: "You know?"

Lin Xuan had a smile in his eyes: "Do you want to ask me about Anthony?"

"...you really know."

Huang Ming was stunned, and then his face became solemn: "I always feel that Anthony seems to be overly enthusiastic. At first he agreed to dub "Transformers", and I can understand it as returning your favor, but then he helped you contact the crew , contacting actors, communicating with the North American military and other things have far exceeded the scope of human feelings, even friends can't do this. So I think, is Anthony thinking of something?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have asked Anthony a long time ago. Otherwise, how could I trust the other party to deal with so many important matters? He did have a purpose in doing this, because he has a daughter who likes the piano, and I A loyal fan. His daughter has always had a wish that I could play a piece of piano music for her. In order to realize her daughter’s wish, Anthony did his best to help me.”

Huang Ming suddenly realized.

It was so!
He almost forgot that Lin Xuan is still a piano master, and he is also the top piano master in the world.Although Lin Xuan has not created any new piano pieces in the past one or two years, as time goes by, the piano pieces he played before have become more and more popular around the world, making his position in the piano industry more and more stable.

It can be said that in the piano world, Lin Xuan's reputation today can be compared with Reps.

But Lin Xuan is only twenty-three years old.

Reps was in his twilight years.

Anyone can see that Lin Xuan has a better future than Reps. In addition, Lin Xuan is handsome, young, wealthy, and multi-millionaire. I don’t know how many girls in the world are obsessed with him. Anthony’s daughter is his fan. normal now.

Sure enough, Yiduo was not overwhelmed.

Maybe your talent will come in handy one day.

For Lin Xuan, playing a piano piece for Anthony's daughter was a matter of little effort.But this little effort can bring him great help, this is the background!
"That's good."

Huang Ming was completely relieved, thinking that Mr. Lin is worthy of being a girl killer, and said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Guan's world tour concert has come to an end, she rushed over immediately, and will be there tomorrow afternoon." To Hollywood. As for Adonis and other actors, I have already agreed to let them wait for us in Hollywood."

"Row!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, with piercing eyes: "Go, go to Hollywood now! Starting tomorrow, the filming of "Transformers" will officially begin!"

……

……

Early April.

After half a month of precipitation, the enthusiasm about Lin Xuan on the Internet finally calmed down.No matter how famous a person is, he can't keep occupying the heat of the Internet, and there will be a day when he will be forgotten.

Of course, on the global singles chart, Lin Xuan's ten songs still firmly occupy the top ten, even pushing the popularity of the eleventh place farther and farther.

The more time goes by, the more shocked the international music scene is about their potential.Originally, many people were still unconvinced, thinking that Lin Xuan's songs could dominate the singles chart because he was too popular and was forcibly hyped up.Although they have a certain quality, they have not yet reached the height of dominating the singles chart. When the popularity passes, they are estimated to fall from the altar soon.

But now!
Everyone finally had to admit that the quality of Lin Xuan's ten songs was indeed far beyond their imagination.

Many music professionals analyzed: These ten songs will continue to dominate the top ten singles charts in the next three months or even half a year!
Even within two or three years, they may not necessarily fall off the singles chart.

Many people sighed helplessly.

"Lin Xuan is so stupid, he has such achievements in the music world, what kind of movie world do you think he wants to break into?"

"I really can't figure out what he's thinking."

"The key is to let him go to the film industry, but also to hit Hollywood."

"Even his first film chose the least likely successful mecha movie."

"Wait, when he gets beaten up by Hollywood, he'll come back to music."

"I'm just a pity that all the money he earned from this album is probably invested in the movie, and there is not a dime left."

"..."

When many people on the Internet were talking about Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan himself has arrived in Hollywood by plane, officially starting his first filming process in Hollywood.

the next day.

The huge crew, all the actors, including Adonis, Guan Yuman... and other leading actors all gathered in the Second World Film Company in Hollywood, and even Daniel came... Although his dubbing work only needs to be done in the final stage, But for his daughter's piano music, he was willing to go all out and almost became a permanent employee of the crew.

Of course, Lin Xuan was happy to see the international film star stay on the set, because with Daniel's presence, almost all the staff and other actors of the set were in a state of bloody work.

when everyone gathers.

Lin Xuan stood at the front, speaking loudly: "Everyone, welcome to the crew of "Transformers". I hope that in the next few months, we can shoot a really good mech movie."

"support!"

"Director Lin is mighty!"

"Trust Director Lin."

"..."

Everyone at the scene shouted.

Although everyone's voices were high-pitched, Lin Xuan could clearly see that many actors didn't have much expectation in their eyes, just ordinary enthusiasm.

Because in their minds, although there are big names such as Adonis and Anthony participating in this movie, there is a high probability that it is as guessed by industry insiders. They were all moved by Lin Xuanchao's ability before agreeing to join.And this "Transformers" is doomed to not have much future.

More than a dozen major directors in Hollywood have rushed to the street in mecha movies. Everyone doesn't believe that Lin Xuan, a Chinese, can cause any disturbance.

It's just that everyone is an actor hired by Lin Xuan with money, and they will still do their best to participate in the filming.

See the expressions of everyone.

Lin Xuan didn't say much, after all, it's useless to say anything now!

Scores speak!

"Start shooting!"

There are no domestic tedious opening ceremonies, such as: choosing an auspicious day, setting the table, offering incense, toasting, offering sacrifices to heaven...etc.

Just a simple sentence started the filming ceremony of "Transformers".

The domestic staff who are familiar with Lin Xuan are very familiar with Lin Xuan's style, so they are not much surprised.On the contrary, the North American actors, including Adonis, and many Western crew members were stunned.

"This is the beginning?"

"No ceremony?"

"Isn't it too simple? I remember that there were many processes before Chinese people made movies?"

"It seems to want to chop off the chicken's head and drink the chicken's blood."

"You are doing worship. I remember burning incense and praying to Buddha. Easterners are very superstitious."

"..."

There are different opinions.

Even Anthony's eyes widened. Before he came, he had learned about the customs of the Chinese people's opening ceremony, and made a series of preparations, so as not to embarrass himself when the time came. Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan started it with a word.

There is no sense of ceremony.

"Is it too fast?"

Adonis couldn't help but asked Guan Yuman next to him.As the leading actor, he has been in touch with Guan Yuman for a long time in the past, and they are no strangers to each other.

"Too fast?"

Guan Yuman's beautiful eyes turned around, and she said with a smile: "What kind of fast is this? You will know what fast is soon."

"what?"

Adonis was taken aback.

Not sure why.

Anthony and other actors beside him also looked at Guan Yuman, not understanding what she meant.

But soon, they will know!

first day.
At the first shooting location.

Anthony was dumbfounded almost the whole time, watching Lin Xuan issue orders one by one.

"This scene was built according to the sketch I drew. If you see it clearly, you can't go wrong with any of them."

"Seat No. [-], put it there."

"Adonis, make your expression happy, yes, look this way, run that way."

"The car mechanic, stand at seven o'clock."

"Put an extra pot of flowers here, and remove other sundries there."

"The light is too strong, dim it a bit. What about the scene? Clean up the corners and do according to my instructions."

In the play, Lin Xuan seems to be transformed into a high-precision robot, giving out the most precise instructions almost all the time, ordering everyone to follow his words.

No one can violate Lin Xuan's order.

As long as someone is slack or does not work well, he will be severely reprimanded immediately.

This is the shooting method that Anthony hated the most before. He always felt that although the director wants to control the audience, he must also listen to other people's opinions.Otherwise, when such a movie is made, the actors will only become dull tool people, completely devoid of spirituality.

However, the morale that followed, Anthony was stunned.

He found that as long as everyone followed Lin Xuan's words, the shot would be almost perfect, every picture was almost impeccable, and every actor's action and acting skills were very good.

And as long as the actors did not follow Lin Xuan's instructions due to mistakes, the final effect would be unsatisfactory.

"This……"

Anthony was dumbfounded.

Can you do this?

And this way of shooting?
He looked at Lin Xuan, with deep horror in his heart.

Not only him, Adonis was also sluggish. As an internationally popular Hollywood superstar, his acting skills are beyond doubt.In the previous filming, the director would basically respect his opinion and let him give full play to himself.He had never seen a director like Lin Xuan, who had to follow the other party's instructions even for a small expression.

This made Adonis feel extremely uncomfortable, and even wondered if he had misread Lin Xuan. In fact, Lin Xuan didn't understand movies at all?
However, when he saw the final result in the camera.

He was silent.

Facts have proved that Lin Xuan is right!

In every detail, Lin Xuan is always able to accurately grasp the most perfect shots, allowing him to display his best acting skills.On the contrary, there were several scenes in which he was unconvinced and performed according to himself, all of which had considerable flaws, and in the end he had to reshoot according to Lin Xuan's instructions.

These Hollywood actors looked at each other in blank dismay, with turbulent waves rolling in their hearts.

"Is that human being?"

"How on earth did he do it?"

"My God, he seems to have a pair of eyes of God, and he can always grasp the best side with the most precision."

"I feel like he's got the perfect movie in mind and he just needs to put it out there."

"Even a Hollywood superstar like Adonis is like a rookie in front of Director Lin."

"Maybe we all underestimated Director Lin."

"..."

Under Lin Xuan's high-precision instructions, everyone finally understood what Guan Yuman said at the beginning.

Normally, it would take ten days and half a month just to set up a scene.In just one day, it was solved by Lin Xuan three times, five times and two times, and there was no subsequent modification.

Shots that usually need to be determined repeatedly, under Lin Xuan's guidance, are basically passed once or twice.

fast!
too fast!
It was so fast that they felt that making a movie was like working on an assembly line, and the next process started immediately after one process was completed.And every process is extremely precise.

Anthony murmured, "Sure enough!"

Adonis' heart was trembling: "I feel like Director Lin's filming is over before I start."

however.

There are even more outrageous.

In the Second World Film Company, the original Tai Lun employees also didn't have much feeling for Lin Xuan at the beginning.As the world's top special effects team, they all have proud assets.

Although Lin Xuan is their boss now, he has a specialization in the art industry. From their point of view, Lin Xuan only needs to hand over the post-production special effects work of "Transformers" to them. They will definitely be able to complete the task with high quality and high volume!
However, they found out they were wrong.

in the special effects department.

Lin Xuan's voice spread throughout the company:

"Optimus Prime can't render the finished product. If it is taller, the color will be red and gray according to my plan."

"His eyes are not agile enough, let me explain to you."

"Bumblebee modeling is not enough, start again! Do it in detail!"

"Domineering, mechs want domineering, and this aura has not been done. Let me tell you carefully how to reflect their domineering."

"The process of deformation needs to be changed like this, not the current rigidity."

"Remember, the mecha is the soul of this movie, and there must be no relaxation at all. There must be no flaws, and it must be perfect. You see, the character of Bumblebee is a bit playful, so its shape cannot be compared with Optimus Prime is full of majesty, but with a touch of lightness and playfulness."

"..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Lin Xuan's words.

Oh my God!
Why does the Huaxia boss in front of him know more about special effects than them?
Especially when they found that Lin Xuan's vision was too vicious, even the slightest flaws and blemishes could be seen by the other party at a glance, and then let them modify it according to their own plans.

In fact, where does the special effects team spend the most time?It is difficult to determine the image of the model when modeling and rendering in the early stage, wasting too much time and energy in vain.

But now, Lin Xuan is equivalent to depicting the shapes, characteristics, and details of all the mechas such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Ironhide, Jazz, Starscream, etc., so that the special effects team has the clearest impression.In this way, the process of making special effects will become unusually fast!

one day.
Two days.

three days.

In just one week, Lin Xuan subdued the top special effects team that originally belonged to Tai Lun Company. Every employee of the special effects team looked at him as if they were looking at God, with admiration and shock on their faces.

This boss is too strong.

This boss is too evil.

Without the cost of trial and error, the work efficiency of the special effects team is almost the same as boarding a rocket, and they start to rush upwards!

It is Lin Xuan who has this ability. The film shooting in the front and the special effects production in the back can be carried out at the same time without interfering with each other's progress.

……

……

Time just passed by day by day.

One month.

two months.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and the outside world has almost forgotten about Lin Xuan's filming.

It's mid-June.

North America, like China, has begun to enter summer.

In the world, there are still various big things happening every day.A certain director fell into a crisis of public opinion because the unspoken rules were exposed, a singer released a brand new song, and a certain Hollywood blockbuster was released.

And in a shooting location that no one knows.

Lin Xuan stood on a high platform, holding a microphone, and said excitedly, "I announce that "Transformers" is finished today!"

boom!
The atmosphere below exploded.

"It's finished!"

"We're done!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"..."

Everyone burst into excited shouts.

It's completely different from the first day when the film was launched more than two months ago. Today, everyone's face is full of excitement and surprise.

Even Anthony had tears in his eyes, and his mood was agitated.

Regardless of the future performance of this film, this film, which lasted two and a half months and invested as much as [-] million U.S. dollars, belongs to Lin Xuan and even China's first Hollywood film, which is officially completed!
