Chapter 763 The Best Director Controversy

Liu Ye lay on the ground and looked at Kate Beckinsale not far away, remembering that Kate Beckinsale was ambushed at this time on the battlefield.

"Get out of the way!" Liu Ye yelled, and with the help of Wia, he rushed towards Kate Beckinsale.

It's just that the strength of Wia was not well grasped, and Liu Ye directly surpassed Kate Beckinsale.

"Crack! Do it again!" Chen Hao shouted.

Then Liu Ye and the two put on makeup again. The makeup artist made some blood and scratches on their faces, and then took two more shots. It's over!

The next shot begins.

"I was shot! I was shot!"

Liu Ye lay on top of Kate Beckinsale, repeating this sentence over and over again, with a weak tone.

Kate Beckinsale, who was under him, frowned and struggled for a while, and with a sudden force, Liu Ye was thrown out.

Liu Ye, who was pulled by the wire rope, rolled around on the ground before being blocked by a pile of sand.

Feeling the condition of his body, Liu Ye asked about his injury.

"You have a hole in your chest!" Kate Beckinsale replied, and then groped Liu Ye, without hesitation, took off the battery block from his body and installed it on her exoskeleton mech.

At this time, there were three consecutive explosions not far in front of them, and four or five soldiers were blown away. There were continuous artillery shells passing by with long tails, and there were also powerful fireballs fired by aliens, which showed the intensity of the battle.

Kate Beckinsale stood up, and just glanced at Liu Ye the moment she turned around. She didn't even stay for more than half a second, and then quickly entered the battlefield.

"Come on!" Chen Hao shouted.

On the battlefield, when the same scene is reset at different times, Liu Ye's expression will also change slightly as the number of times increases.

Later, fighting side by side again and again, and seeing Kate Beckinsale die in front of him again and again, his feelings have undergone a subtle change.

……

While filming was progressing steadily, military support finally arrived.

The Jinling Military Region dispatched 30 combat aircraft of various types, as well as 15 auxiliary aircraft, in addition to two destroyer brigades, and a total of 10 other transport ships for transporting armored vehicles and tanks.

It's a pity that there is no aircraft carrier, but the military promised to provide some videos of aircraft carriers, which can be added later.

The aircraft carrier that appeared in "Wolf Warrior 2" in the previous life was extracted from other video materials and added in.

The number of warships and fighter jets is still not enough, so they can only be modeled and produced in the later stage. The military can also provide part of the appearance data, which saves most of the calculation and modeling time.

There are also coastal defense forces on the shore, equipped with shore-to-ship missiles, all the troops are ready, and 6 helicopters for aerial photography take off.

In addition to aerial photography, this shooting also used 8 photographers to shoot close-ups everywhere.

After confirming all the details, the blasting team coordinated the time with military commanders and fighters. After half an hour, the shooting began.

Thousands of group performances and hundreds of officers and soldiers are ready, and the decks of each transport ship are already full of soldiers wearing exoskeleton mechs, neatly lined up.

These exoskeletons that don’t require close-up shots are simpler than those used in filming, and they don’t look much different from a distance.

"Start!" Chen Hao shouted.

"Edge of Tomorrow, Scene 58, Shot 1, Shot 1, pop!"

Twenty warships of various types set sail and sounded their horns. They were fully loaded with soldiers, armored vehicles, and tanks. The missiles on the warships were also ready to go.

In the sky, a large transport plane transported groups of mecha soldiers to the opposite bank, and 30 fighter jets roared past in a battle sequence.

Coastal defense forces and warships fired missiles at the opposite side angrily.

The cruise missiles and machine guns carried by the bombers also plowed the ground.

Originally, Chen Hao wanted the military to use live ammunition, but there was no one on the other side, so he waited until he had landed before planting explosives.

However, being ruthlessly rejected by the military, Chen Hao could only give up this tempting idea.

The first scene was filmed for more than an hour, and it was an extremely simple military exercise for the army, without any difficulty.

Then the landing scene was filmed for another two full days, and this location was completely over.

……

When the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" was rushing to shoot.

On March 2009, 3, Haotian Music released its first album of this year, which is also Zhang Hanyun's third album "I'm Not a Copy".

At this time, Zhang Hanyun had just been admitted to Huaxia Conservatory of Music and was a freshman. In order to take care of his studies, he has not been exposed to the media recently.

The release of his third album this time is also a long-lost appearance.

Although there has been less exposure recently, the album sales are not bad.

Combined with the pre-sales and sales in the first month, the physical album of "I'm Not a Copy" sold 13 copies, and the digital album exceeded 20 copies.

The results of this digital album even surpassed last year's "UPDATE*JANE" by Zhang Jingying, second only to "My" by Li Yuchun.

The sales of physical albums were within Haotian Music's expectations, but the sales of digital albums made Huo Shaowen very happy.

The increase in sales of digital albums has obviously enabled Haotian Music and even the Chinese music scene to find a future path, even if this path may be narrower.

……

At the same time, Mina inquired about the results of the three exams of her Imperial Film Arts Examination on the same day. There is no suspense, Mina passed the art exam.

In fact, there is no need for Chen Hao to say hello. With Mina's appearance, she is simply the female version of Huang Jiaozhu.
Now, as long as Mina's culture class is not too bad, then becoming Chen Hao's junior sister is almost a certainty.

It's a pity that Chen Hao was filming on the set, so he didn't have time to celebrate Mina, so he just booked a car for Mina to express his affection.

Mina happily went to take the driver's license test, and then returned to the frontier after driving a new car for two days. She still had to continue preparing for the college entrance examination!
……

On March 2009, 3, after 15 weeks of release, "The Twilight Saga" was finally released in North America, which also meant that the film's global screenings ended.

With an investment of 3700 million, the final North American box office reached 1.87 million US dollars, ranking No. 2008 in the 5 North American annual box office list.

Second only to "Batman 2: The Dark Knight", "Iron Man", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4: Crystal Skull" and "Robot Story", it can be described as a super dark horse in the North American market in 2008.

Moreover, "The Twilight Saga" has also received a box office of 1.64 million US dollars outside North America, and the global total box office is 3.51 million US dollars!
Just looking at the box office, "Twilight" has become Liangtianchi Pictures' second only to "Iron Man" and "The Hangover".

And considering it cost just $3700 million, it could even be more profitable than Iron Man.

Faced with such an explosive box office, Liangtianchi Pictures is ready to strike while the iron is hot. This year, it directly launched the second part of the series, and the investment has increased to 5100 million. It is hoped that it can reproduce the box office miracle of the first part!

In addition, Liang Tianchi Films' first film "Beast Meal 2009" in 3 has also been released in North American theaters.

With $505 million in its opening week, it's no surprise that the series should end there.

In terms of box office, "Beast Meal 3" will definitely suffer a slight loss, but it is expected to perform well in terms of DVD sales and rentals, which should allow Liang Tianchi Pictures to make another profit, but it may take a little longer.

……

Back in China, on March 2009, 3, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Initial Public Offerings and Listing on the Growth Enterprise Market".

The "Administrative Measures" will come into effect on May 5, which means that the GEM, which has been in preparation for more than ten years, is expected to officially open on May 1 this year.

Once this news was announced, it not only caused a sensation in the financial market, but also great news for major companies that are interested in listing on the GEM.

Naturally, it includes Haotian and Huayi. After Huayi dismissed the idea of ​​going public in the United States, it is obviously eyeing the GEM, and wants to compete with Haotian for the title of the first mainland entertainment company.

And Haotian Films is also very excited. I only heard from Chen Hao that it will be listed this year, but the relevant policies have not been introduced. While preparing, everyone must still be a little worried about gains and losses.

Although it is not [-]% sure yet, the expectation that Haotian Films will be released this year is very likely to be realized!
Chen Guofu, Ning Hao and other members of the Listing Committee were excited and devoted themselves to the listing preparations more proactively.

Think about it, as long as Haotian Films is really listed, then Haotian Films will become the first entertainment company in the mainland, and at the same time, it will become a millionaire, or even a multi-millionaire.

……

The time has entered April, and the 4th Saturn Awards, known as the "Oscars of Science Fiction and Horror Movies", officially announced the nomination list.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, "Batman: The Dark Knight," which swept the global box office last year, was nominated for 2 awards, leading the film category.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" followed with nine nominations.

The "Iron Man" directed by Chen Hao ranked third with 8 nominations, namely Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Most The best music and the best special effects.

Among the nominations, the duel between "Batman Episode 2: The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" is the most eye-catching.

One was the North American box office champion last year, and it was also the global box office champion.

One was the runner-up at the North American box office last year, and it was also the third runner-up at the global box office.

Its directors, Nolan and Chen Hao, are the most popular and talented directors of the new generation that have emerged in North America in recent years. There was also the "grievance" that Chen Hao refused to co-direct the "Batman" series with Nolan.

Therefore, the best director competition between the two Saturn Awards this time has aroused a lot of onlookers and heated discussions.

Chen Haosheng has been "famous for a long time" and is stable. The box office of all films has not missed. Many films in a row have broken 2 million at the North American box office, and "Iron Man" has broken 3 million, and there are no bad movies.

As for Nolan, a "Batman: The Dark Knight" won the box office in North America and the world, and was called the greatest comic movie, which is enough to prove that he is in the sky!

For both sides, there are also supporters, but the final result will have to wait until June 6th to see the final result!

……

At this time, the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" has entered the shooting of the second big scene, an abandoned town.

Seeing that the scenery was almost set up, Chen Hao shouted, "Let's start!"

Lu Yang took the walkie-talkie and asked various departments, "Are you all ready?"

"Photography OK!"

"The lights are on!"

"Recording is fine!"

"Okay, all departments are ready, and the actors are in place!"

"Edge of Tomorrow, Scene 65, Shot 1, Shot 1, pop!"

Liu Ye and Kate Beckinsale reset the helicopter countless times, and after a lot of hard work, they found a helicopter that crashed here. Although the fuselage was damaged, it could still start flying.

At this time, Kate Beckinsale was already injured, and Liu Ye bandaged her back wound in a half-ruined house.

"Even if we drive away the helicopter, there is no mecha, ammunition, and it will be dark soon, we might as well go back to the house just now, rest for a night, and come back early tomorrow morning." Liu Ye suggested road.

Just as soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, Kate Beckinsale said with a smile, "There is some food in that supermarket, and you can open two bottles of wine. There is also a well-preserved bed in the room. The soft mattress can make you sleep well. .”

"Crack!" Chen Hao shouted, "Kate, laugh at the first half of the sentence, relax your tone, and ease the expression on your face, don't laugh at the second half of the sentence, and draw your gun before you finish speaking."

"I see, director." Kate Beckinsale quickly raised her hand to signal.

"Do it again!" Chen Hao shouted.

"Edge of Tomorrow, Scene 65, Shot 1, Shot 1, pop!"

The filming continued. This time, Kate Beckinsale's tone was relaxed in the first half, as if she agreed with Liu Ye's idea, and then she smiled. She was laughing at Liu Ye and herself for finding such a partner.

At this time, Liu Ye also showed a relaxed smile, thinking that he had successfully prevented Kate Beckinsale from dying.

But then Kate Beckinsale paused, drew out her gun and pointed it at Liu Ye's head without any hesitation.

"Then I'd rather reset it once!" Kate said blankly.

"Don't wait, that's a dead end." Liu Ye quickly reached out to block Kate Beckinsale's hand.

"I'm tired, I'm miserable, but I'd rather do it all over again," Kate said.

Kate Beckinsale was injured, her body was a little weak, and her voice was very low, but her expression was very serious, she stared at Liu Ye closely, and spoke word by word.

Coupled with four or five scrapes and blood on the face, stains on the face and forehead, messy hair, and a wound wrapped in gauze on the shoulder.

The image of a soldier who is determined to win the war and sacrifice everything is vivid on the paper!
"Let's eat something first. I'll find out where the key is." Liu Ye glanced at Kate Beckinsale, and finally gave in.

"10 minutes." Kate Beckinsale also glanced at Liu Ye, and then compromised.

"Okay." Liu Ye nodded.

"Then I'll kill you." Kate said firmly.

"Okay." Liu Ye found tea leaves and instant coffee in the cabinet beside him, and turned around to ask, "Coffee or tea?"

Before Kate Beckinsale could speak, he suddenly said, "You like coffee."

The water was already boiling, and I washed the cup and made a cup of instant coffee for Kate Beckinsale.

Kate Beckinsale picked up the cup and shook her head, "You can find coffee."

Liu Ye smiled and took out a few more packets of candy, and poured a packet for Kate Beckinsale.

"Thank you." Kate looked at Liu Ye and smiled.

"By the way, you usually add two packets of sugar." After Liu Ye finished speaking, he tore open a packet of sugar again and poured it in.

After doing all these skillfully, the smile on Liu Ye's face became more and more relaxed and happier.

But Kate Beckinsale noticed the clue and stared at him coldly.

Holding the packing bag in his hand, Liu Ye didn't dare to look at her, got up and walked to the other side.

"There's a shirt over there, you should be able to wear it." Liu Ye immediately found a long-sleeved shirt.

Kate Beckinsale's complexion changed again and again, she got up and looked around, "How many times have we been here?"

"How many times have you been here?" Liu Ye pretended to be puzzled.

"Where are the keys?" Kate Beckinsale asked directly.

"Here." Liu Ye knew he had been spotted.

"You know how to drive, have you ever driven?" Kate asked.

"I only know how to take off, but I haven't learned how to land yet." Liu Ye hesitated.

"Then what are you still doing here? It's a waste of time!" Kate Beckinsale grabbed her coat angrily, put it on her body casually, and walked outside.

"You will die as soon as you start the engine." Liu Ye stopped her helplessly from behind, "You can only live so far! No matter what I do, you will die here!"

"Okay, it's over!" Chen Hao shouted.

Obviously, the two protagonists have fully integrated into the roles, so Chen Hao didn't stay for long, and immediately continued to the next scene.
