my movie years

Chapter 222

After finishing the trip to the awards ceremony, Da Mimi turned down a lot of work and made a special trip to Los Angeles to visit Zhang Hao, and take a look at the working mode of the Hollywood crew.

"How is the production of the TV series?" Zhang Hao asked Da Mi Mi.

Da Mi Mi replied: "It's going well, it should be broadcast in December, Mango TV, Blue TV, and Dongfang TV are all interested in buying it."

"Isn't Mango TV talking about "Legend of Wu Mei Niang"? I heard that the number of episodes of this drama is as high as 96. Mango TV still has room for us?" Zhang Hao asked doubtfully.

Da Mimi raised his eyebrows and explained: "Mango Channel hopes that our drama will succeed "Legend of Wu Mei Niang", and we will do it when that drama is over."

"Forget it, it's better to go to the Blue Terrace."

"I think so too. "Run! Brother" is currently being broadcast on Blue TV, which has attracted a lot of traffic to Blue TV." Da Mi Mi also recognized Zhang Hao's idea:

"It just so happens that the treatment of our show on Blue TV is no worse than that on Mango TV, and the bid is 15 more per episode than on Mango TV."

"Then there's nothing else to say, it's just the blue stage." Zhang Hao made a decision instantly.

Originally, Da Mi Mi's new drama was used to compete with Lao Fan's drama, but Mango TV was too greedy, and it wanted to eat any drama.

There is such a shortage of high-quality and high-traffic TV series, how could it be possible for Mango TV to dominate.

Although Zhang Hao is a film director, he also pays attention to some popular TV series, and has inquired about the copyright of "Langya Bang" before.

It's a pity that the film and television adaptation rights of the original work of this drama have long been taken by Noon Sunshine, and Zhang Hao's company has no chance to intervene.

This is also in line with common sense, Zhang Hao can't have all the good things.

It is enough to release a TV series starring Mi Mi every year to keep the popularity and high-quality impression in the eyes of the audience.

Da Mi Mi is currently taking the route of both movies and TV dramas, and occasionally picks up a variety show or something.

This is Zhang Hao's suggestion to Da Mi Mi. To sum it up, just a few big words: read the script, take less drama, think more, and less variety.

According to this policy, one or two movies a year, one TV series, and some variety shows.The work schedule is easy, not as tiring as in the previous life, and can be scheduled completely.

Of course, it depends on Da Mimi herself. She is willing to take on more jobs, and Zhang Hao doesn't stop her.It's just that some bad dramas must be screened out for Da Mi Mi, and she will not be allowed to accept them.

Fortunately, Da Mi Mi is a person who listens to persuasion. According to the arrangement of her agent Jia Jie, next year's work is already full.

But Da Mi Mi took the initiative to reject a lot, including Lantai inviting her to be a resident guest to participate in "Run!"In the second season of "Brothers", Da Mi Mi has been pushed down

In the future, variety shows will prevail.

But Da Mi Mi just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, and still wants to maintain her idol acting personality.

Next year, Da Mi Mi's main work will be two films, one is the Mars project that Zhang Hao has agreed with her a long time ago.

But sending her to grow potatoes is just a joke. In fact, Zhang Hao has already thought of a candidate for this kind of comedy sci-fi film.

In the other one, Da Mimi took Lao Fan's job and starred in Brother Cheng Long's new film "Jedi Escape".

It's not right to say grabbing, because Brother Cheng Long never considered Lao Fan from the beginning to the end, and directly called Da Mimi to send the invitation.

Previously, Da Mimi and Cheng Long had already collaborated on "Zodiac", and thanks to Da Mimi's popularity, this film became the second domestic film with a box office of more than one billion.

For the rest of the time, Da Mi Mi watched the arrangements by himself, whether it was acting in TV dramas or participating in variety shows, just be happy.

But a plan is just a plan, and there are many variables in the middle, and no one knows what changes will happen in the future.

Filming of a court trial scene started today, and Matthew McConaughey and Zhang Hao discussed the way of acting for a while.

Matthew McConaughey rubbed his head and said: "I'm very, very stressed now. I watched Heath Ledger's Joker yesterday. It was incredible."

Zhang Hao patted Matthew McConaughey's shoulder sympathetically and said, "Matthew, you have to work hard, you are the Oscar winner."

Matthew McConaughey smiled bitterly, feeling a little helpless.

In fact, not to mention Matthew McConaughey, anyone in the crew who saw Heath Ledger's performance state yesterday felt horrified.

That sentence is not playing the clown, but the clown himself.Weird, treacherous, neurotic, and evil to the extreme.

The Joker himself doesn't have any force, he can't even beat an ordinary gangster, but he always has the upper hand in the confrontation with Batman by relying on the psychology of playing with people.

In the words of Michael Caine: "The clown's evil is pure and perfect, and he does not allow anyone to tarnish his evil."

The filming of the scene started soon, and Da Mimi sat next to Zhang Hao, watching the live performance of the Oscar winner.

Matthew McConaughey plays Harvey Dent, the District Attorney, the embodiment of justice, and Amber Heard plays Rachel, Bruce Wayne's childhood sweetheart.

This is a trial. Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes sit confidently in the prosecutor's seat. Even if they are facing the most famous gang leader in Gotham, they are confident that he will be brought to justice.

Zhang Hao sat in the director's chair, but looked at Matthew McConaughey.

Compared with Amber Heard who acts as a vase, and other actors who act as background panels, this scene undoubtedly places more emphasis on Matthew McConaughey's performance, and he is the focus of this scene.

After all, he is an Oscar winner, and many Oscar winners and actresses have water, but Matthew McConaughey is a real actor.

"Since McConney is in a mental hospital, there must be someone who will stand up and preside over the overall situation for the so-called family."

Walking up to the witness stand, Matthew McConaughey's Harvey Dent used body language to enhance his performance, "Is that man in court today?"

The witness nodded slowly.

Harvey Dent showed a confident smile, "Please identify him yourself."

"You won, prosecutor." The witness suddenly smiled strangely, "That person is me."

Hearing this, the smile on Harvey Dent's face disappeared instantly, showing a surprised expression.

He reacted very quickly, walked to his seat, took a testimony, and said righteously, "You have sworn this testimony. This person..."

He pointed to the dock: "Salvatore Maloney is the new leader of the McConney family."

"Maloney? He's just a puppet." The witness said naturally, "I'm the real leader."

A burst of laughter broke out in the courtroom, and Harvey Dent walked up to the judge and said to the judge, "I request that this witness testify in bad faith."

"Malicious testimony?"

Before the judge could speak, the witness interjected, "I'll show you what malice is!"

As he spoke, he took out a black pistol, aimed it at Harvey Dent, and pulled the trigger.

Harvey Dent was slightly taken aback, as if he was wondering why the other party brought a pistol in a court where the security check was very strict.

There was only the sound of the firing pin of the pistol, but no bullet was fired.

He reacted very quickly, grabbed the pistol with one hand, punched the other hand, directly knocked down the witness, and snatched the pistol.

Matthew McConaughey is in very good condition, fully playing the level of an Oscar winner, Zhang Hao is very satisfied.

But then, when removing the magazine, Matthew McConaughey made a mistake here.The magazine jammed, and it took two withdrawals before it was ejected.

This is a mistake of props, Zhang Hao frowned slightly, but did not stop the performance.

Even if it needs to be reshot, he will let Matthew McConaughey finish this scene so that Matthew McConaughey can familiarize himself with the role.

Matthew McConaughey also realized that there was a problem with the prop pistol. Seeing that Zhang Hao did not stop, he continued to perform.

"Made of carbon fiber, .[-] caliber..." Harvey Dent said, holding the pistol and walking to the main camera lens, "Made in India."

He turned to Maloney. "If you want to get rid of a public official, Mr. Maloney, I recommend American products."

This is the bad taste arranged by Zhang Hao in his lines.

Generally, the bad villains in Hollywood movies are big hairs.

But in Zhang Hao's "Gravity", Ah San became the guy with poor quality, and it's the same in "The Dark Knight".

Asan's creation is just like their Ganges water, which makes people feel extremely peaceful.

When the scene ended, Matthew McConaughey hurried over to apologize: "I'm sorry director, it's my problem."

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, your punches should be sharper, this is a scene that highlights the characteristics of Harvey Dent.

The crisp and sharp punches and the skilled withdrawal of the chest showed that Harvey Dent was not just a civilian prosecutor. "

Afterwards, Zhang Hao called the prop master over again and asked him to solve the pistol problem.

This scene restarted shooting, and this time it went smoothly, and it passed without any problems.

This scene is very necessary. Why did Harvey Dent become powerful after he became a double-faced man? Of course, he didn't practice martial arts cheats.

This scene is to pave the way for his subsequent transformation, and let the audience understand that Harvey Dent is a prosecutor who can read and write.

Then Zhang Hao announced that the crew would switch to film the confrontation between Batman and the Joker.

Da Mimi followed Zhang Hao, patted his proud chest and said: "Is this the strength of the Oscar winner? It's really amazing."

Zhang Hao smiled mysteriously: "Where is this? I will show you a more terrifying one later."

"What do you mean?" Da Mimi didn't understand, but when she arrived at the scene, she understood.

Heath Ledger's performance made Da Mimi feel cold sweat, and almost thought that this was not filming, but that there was a real clown in front of her.

Batman, like a ghost, appeared behind the Joker played by Heath Ledger, held down his head and slammed it on the table.

The clown held his forehead with one hand, looked at Batman who turned to the front, and what he said seemed to be nonsense.

"Be sure not to hit someone on the head first, the victim will be dizzy first, and then won't feel your next punishment..."

Batman attacks again, but the Joker doesn't respond.

"Understood now?" He looked at Batman.

"It's me you're looking for, and now I'm here..."

Da Mi Mi can clearly see that this is a completely unbalanced scene, and the Joker completely crushes Batman.

Although Batman wears a mask, which can make up for the unbalanced scene to a certain extent, Heath Ledger's Joker is too eye-catching.

On the rotting face covered with white powder, there is a strange wriggling mouth. The blood-red lips seem to continue to tear towards the two sides, and a series of evil words are emitted from it.

After locking himself in the apartment for a month, Heath Ledger went to study ventriloquism in order to achieve the effect described in the script.

He even conducted special training so that the mouth is moving, but the voice does not seem to come out of the mouth, and there is a misalignment effect between the lips and the voice.

After Zhang Hao heard this, he could only express his admiration.

This is just a role, how an actor can do this is too exaggerated.

Of course, such actors are undoubtedly very popular with the director, even the actors in the opposite play will be very painful, because if you don't pay attention, you will not be able to catch the scene.

They are all actors with excellent acting skills, and they all have a competitive heart. No one wants to be suppressed.

But despite Batman's best efforts, Christian Bale still can't balance this confrontation that is destined to get out of hand.

"I didn't want to kill you," the clown laughed strangely. "What would I do without you? Go back and blackmail the gangsters? That's not okay, I don't want that."

"It's you..." He seemed to be serious, "It's you who made me more complete..."

The clown is a chatterer, he has his own set of complete philosophy, the clown is not far away from the crowd, but in the crowd, and competes with people face to face.

Da Mi Mi didn't dare to continue observing, she didn't dare to relax holding Zhang Hao's arm, for fear that the clown would rush over in the next moment.

When the scene was over, the psychiatrist arranged by the crew quickly gave Heath Ledger psychological counseling.

But judging from the state of Christian Bale, perhaps he is the one who needs a psychologist more.

Da Mimi asked curiously: "Why isn't the clown afraid of Batman? Obviously he can't beat Batman."

"Being unbeatable doesn't mean you can't play." Zhang Hao thought for a while and explained: "The clown thinks he has grasped the truth of human nature, and this truth is that when people face threats to their lives, they will reveal their true nature.
In fact, the clown believes that human nature is cowardly, selfish and greedy, which is also the basis for his evil theory. "

According to the setting of the script, the clown believes that facing the moment when his own life is at stake, not only his own sense of justice and honor will be overturned and collapsed.

And the rules they lived in, the rules they followed, also disappeared.

When nothing happens, everyone hopes that they are just and decent, but if there is a small disaster, the shit will be fucked.

"As long as there is a disturbance, these educated people will eat each other raw." Zhang Hao explained to Da Mi Mi in this way.

"However, aren't there still many righteous people among us? Good people and good deeds are not uncommon!" Da Mimi said.

"Pay attention to the news in the past few years. Doctors who saved lives were falsely accused of not having a medical license, uncles and aunts fell down and couldn't afford it, and kind people were blackmailed for helping them.

As a result, the public order and good customs of the society have been completely destroyed, and people's hearts are indifferent. I can often see grandparents falling down, or someone suffering a sudden illness, but no one helps. "

Zhang Hao sighed and said, "Whose fault is this? Is it the indifference of people? Is it because people's cowardly, selfish and greedy nature is exposed?
If at this time, a person like a clown appeared and pushed the people on the edge of the moral bottom line to the evil side, what would the world be like? "

Da Mi Mi fell into deep thinking, she has no answer, and no one can have a standard answer.

Zhang Hao said again: "This is also my original intention in shaping the villain Joker, a representative of extreme evil with no moral bottom line."

Da Mi Mi never thought that what Zhang Hao wanted to discuss would be so profound in a commercial and large-scale production film.

Although he is not interested in superhero movies, Da Mi Mi has already begun to look forward to the shock and discussion brought by the "Dark Knight".

Making a movie is not just a movie, it can also bring people more profound thinking.

Of course, while the film has a lot of depth, it's a commercial blockbuster.

When Zhang Hao makes films, he still has to follow market principles.
