China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 53
On December 2005, 12, the crew flew to the Czech Republic to shoot some plots of the killer union.

In the afternoon of the same day, the crew rushed to the hotel that had been booked in advance. There was no shooting task today, and most of the personnel were free to move around, except for Li Mu, director assistants, outreach producers, art directors, etc. Li Mu took these people in the afternoon. The textile factory went around in a circle. What the scenery here is, the video and pictures are not comprehensive enough.

Half an hour later, Li Mu said to the external producer and art director: "This place is a good one, and it fully meets my requirements for simplicity, spooky, and mysterious."

Wailian producer said with a smile: "In the beginning we only searched around New York. After hearing from the director that you can focus on the whole world, I just found out about this place by chance through my friends in Europe."

Li Mu pointed to the roof of the shed again and said: "The huge net-like woven fabric on the ceiling is quite a finishing touch. With such a setting, the mystery of the whole factory building has been raised to a higher level. Teacher Zhang is worthy of our Xiying An old art master from birth."

The art director smiled and said: "Director, you said you wanted a Gothic-style factory building, so I had an idea and used woven cloth to make a Gothic-style roof. I am at most completing a proposition composition. It is a bit hard work." , I dare not be the finishing touch.”

"In short, I found a good place, and the layout is also good. It has completely exceeded my expectations." Li Mu pointed to the high glass and said: "Break a few pieces of high glass at random, and the high In the corner of the wall, arrange some spider webs, which can highlight the atmosphere of mystery and fear here."

The art director thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, the director, all of these can be arranged before the official shooting tomorrow."

The art director of course has to listen to the director on how to arrange the scenes, but the art director will also examine whether the layout suggestions put forward by the director are reasonable from a professional point of view. If the art director thinks it is unreasonable, he will put forward his own opinions to the director , so he just thought for a few seconds before replying to Li Mu.

The next morning, the film crew officially started work. Li Mu came to the textile factory early in the morning. Know if it is a real spider web or a fabricated prop.

Li Mu sat in front of the monitor, and the director's assistant handed the loudspeaker to Li Mu. Li Mu shouted to the photography team: "The photography team should strengthen the lighting contrast a little bit, and the color tone should be cold, highlighting the sense of mystery and eerie."

Someone replied: "Understood."

Sitting on the chair next to Li Mu is Cheng Long. Today, there is no big brother Cheng Long. Li Mu told him that he can move freely, but Cheng Long insisted on coming to watch.

"Li Mu, the selling point of this movie is that I fight with Li Lianlian, but it is filmed and filmed. I haven't started fighting with Li Lianlian yet. Li Lianlian is about to be scrapped." Cheng Long took a bite of an apple Then he continued, "I carefully studied the scenes to be filmed today, and they were basically scenes in which Li Lianlian was beaten violently, beaten by Li Lianhua, beaten by the butcher, beaten by Barry, and put his hand into the loom. It's so miserable."

Li Mu turned back and said with a smile: "How can a cowardly middle-aged man start to rise without these devil trainings?"

Cheng Long said with a smile: "That's right, but the scene where Li Lianlian was beaten violently was rare before, so I can't miss it no matter what."

At this time, the assistant director came over and reminded: "Director, all departments and actors are ready."

Li Mu nodded, picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Okay, everyone rehearse first, listen to my password, 321, start."

……

At the beginning of January 2006, the filming of the movie "Assassin" continued. At the same time, Li Mu's second English novel "The Martian" was officially put on sale in major bookstores in the United States.

Due to the huge popularity accumulated by the previous work "The Hunger Games", the release of "The Martian" caused quite a stir in the United States.

Marko Klaus is a well-known science fiction writer in the United States. His friends say that his works are even eligible for the Hugo Award. Half of the time, Marko Klaus agrees with this, and the other half of the time he expresses his own opinion. What is written is shit.

For example, in the recent period, he has not written a single word for three consecutive days. Now, let alone winning the Hugo Award, he even began to doubt whether he is suitable for this job.

Since he had no idea for the time being, Marco simply turned off the computer to relax, and then suddenly remembered that today is the release day of Mu Li's new book "The Martian", so he decisively picked up his coat from the hanger and went out.

His daughter Lenny Laus is a die-hard fan of "The Hunger Games". Today, before going to school, her daughter specially asked him to help her buy Mu Li's new book.

Because his daughter likes it very much, Marco has also read the book "The Hunger Games", but he has not finished it. Speaking of it, this novel has some bright spots, and the emotional rendering in some places is quite desirable, such as the novel After the girl was shot through by an arrow, the heroine made that ancient gesture in front of the live broadcast, which was very moving.

But on the whole, this "Hunger Games" is still far from being a good book in Marco's eyes. If he were to evaluate it, there are occasional bright spots, but the whole is absurd and boring.

When he came to a bookstore he often visited, he took a newly released "The Martian" from the shelf, and when he came to the checkout window, he found that seven of the ten customers before and after him bought "The Martian" , and mostly women.

Back home, Marco had no inspiration for the time being. Fortunately, he sat on the sofa and read the novel he just bought.This Mu Li's short story "The Moon" is pretty good. Since this book is called "The Martian", maybe those are novels like "The Moon"?In that case it would be worth a look.

"Log: SOL6
I'm completely fucked up.

This is my conclusion after careful consideration.

It's over.

These six days, the beginning of what should have been the most glorious two months of my life, turned out to be the prelude to a nightmare. "

In less than 10 minutes, Marco was completely immersed in this story. He asked himself, under the same conditions, if he was put on Mars, would he survive?

Certainly not!So he was even more curious about how the Chinese astronaut in the novel would survive.

It is possible to survive, it is reasonable, and it is basically convincing that there is no possibility of survival!
Marko, who just saw the beginning, predicted so.

But in any case, this Mu Li is really powerful, with just a few strokes, it completely mobilizes the readers' interest.

As a result, after reading chapter by chapter, Marco watched the protagonist overcome one almost insurmountable difficulty after another, such as power generation, water production, and potato planting. Even a logical loophole.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, his stomach was growling so badly that he realized that he was so obsessed with reading that he forgot to eat lunch. He shook his head with a bit of a smile, and put the book on the coffee table to find something to eat for himself first. Let alone the stomach, and at the same time a thought came into my mind: "If the author of this book is an American, there is almost no suspense to win the Hugo Award, but unfortunately..."

A large percentage of voting members for the Hugo Awards come from the United States.They are conservative in thinking and hate people of color, and spontaneously formed an organization with "inclinations" to suppress ethnic minorities, women, and young writers, and tried to monopolize the Hugo Awards.With the existence of this group of people, a work by a Chinese writer, no matter how high-level it is, is almost doomed to miss the Hugo Award. Marco himself has aspirations for the Hugo Award, so he has a relatively clear understanding of these.

Almost at the same time, George Martin, the author of the American science fiction novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", had just finished reading "The Martian", and he made no secret of his love for this book.

At a writer's salon the next day, he publicly stated: "I think "The Martian" will become the first Chinese work to win the Hugo Award."

……

On February 2006, 2, Liu Yifei joined the team, and the filming of the movie "Assassin" entered the final finishing stage.

　There is an update today, and the normal update will resume tomorrow. I am not sure about the update. After the update is almost done, the updates that have been pulled down in the past few days will be added back.
