China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 402 Liu Yifei is also pretending
Under Cameron's guidance, Zhang Nanyi visited the preliminary preparations for the filming of Avatar, as well as various equipment and facilities.

There are facial special effects modeling, riding simulation action devices, and various wearable equipment for special effects shooting, etc.
Cameron talked endlessly about the various shooting modes, and also focused on introducing to Zhang Nanyi the new 3D photography machine he customized with Sony.

After introducing all the facilities, Cameron took Zhang Nanyi to see the computer special effects production process.

He said: "According to Ms. Anne's request, a large part of our computer special effects production was handed over to the digital field for processing, so what you see today is only a small part of the movie."

Zhang Nanyi shook his head and said: "After understanding your shooting plan, I feel that it is difficult to fulfill your promise. It is very unreliable for me to complete the male lead role in three months.

Many of your shooting techniques and techniques are revolutionary. Actors don't actually have many roles, but you need to repeatedly try and explore your shooting techniques and techniques.

After all, no one has done this before.

So you will waste a lot of time on trying and making breakthroughs, and the shooting progress will not be fast even if you want to. "

Of course, Zhang Nanyi would not foolishly believe Cameron's guarantee. This guy is famous for procrastinating and overspending. As a great director, being able to deceive people is his most basic quality.

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Cameron laughed loudly and said: "Zhang, you really understand me.

Yes, the technology of the movie Avatar is revolutionary and will have a disruptive impact on the film industry.

In this area, we will spend a lot of time and energy.

But regarding your schedule, I am still very confident.

My plan is to shoot other people's scenes first, and while shooting these scenes, I will solve some technical problems and problems.

Finally, focus on shooting your scenes. By then the technology will be more mature and you can save a lot of time.

Moreover, in the movie Avatar, 80% of the workload is in special effects production, and the actors' roles are not the most important.

Your scenes are basically shot in a studio, and you don’t need to travel all over the world. If you are physically strong enough and willing to accept high-intensity shooting, the time can be further shortened.

We can agree on your schedule in the actor's contract, a black and white contract. "

Cameron is willing to stipulate a schedule in the contract, which means he is really confident. Zhang Nanyi was immediately moved. It would be great to be able to play the male lead in Avatar and participate in this epoch-making movie. .

Seeing that Zhang Nanyi didn't speak, Cameron continued: "But I also have a request, that is, your demeanor, movements and acting skills must meet my requirements. If you don't meet the standards, you will need to spend more time on special performances." training.”

Before Zhang Nanyi could speak, Liu Yifei said: "My acting skills and martial arts movements were all taught by Zhang. His acting skills and abilities are much better than mine.

He will definitely be fine with this. "

Anne wanted Zhang Nanyi to play Avatar, and so did Liu Yifei.

She plays the female lead in Avatar, and if Zhang Nanyi can play the male lead, everything will be perfect.

Hearing Cameron's request, Zhang Nanyi didn't say anything. He directly performed Avatar's movements on the spot and even played around on the riding device. Cameron was so excited that he felt like he had found a treasure.

Especially after Zhang Nanyi got the language of the Na'vi people and had a little understanding of it, he could give a general idea.

This memory and language talent made Cameron call him abnormal.

Even more excited than Cameron was Matthews, the leader of the Avatar character modeling team. He was very excited after seeing Zhang Nanyi.

He said on the spot that Zhang Nanyi's body was the most perfect modeling object he had ever seen, and he had long wanted to model Zhang Nanyi's body.

Matthews spoke very quickly. He said that he had many posters of Nanyi and the video of Love After Life at home, which he often took out and watched over and over again.

Matthews' attitude was very enthusiastic and he immediately wanted to touch Zhang Nanyi's body, but Zhang Nanyi refused.

Although Cameron explained that Matthews' behavior was an occupational disease and he would be very excited when he saw someone suitable for modeling, Zhang Nanyi still felt that Matthews was a gay man.

Boys should protect themselves when they go out.

Zhang Nanyi made a direct request, "From now on, Xixi and I will have to find female modelers to do our modeling."

It was said that he was making a request, but in fact he was agreeing to star in Avatar.

When Cameron heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Nanyi's hand, "That's no problem.

Congratulations, Chang, for being part of the making of one of the greatest movies ever made.

I hope we can cooperate happily. "

Zhang Nanyi smiled and said, "It's definitely fun. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. I also have a lot of inspiration for this movie."

Cameron smiled even more happily, "I will definitely come to you often, but there is no consulting fee. If it is convenient, we can talk about your remuneration now."

Zhang Nanyi said calmly: "My salary has a bottom line, and it cannot be lower than Matt Damon."

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Cameron was very surprised. Only a few people knew about the fact that he had asked about Matt Damon. How did Zhang Nanyi know about it.

In terms of achievements as an actor, Zhang Nanyi has not yet entered Hollywood, so naturally he is not as good as Matt Damon.

But in terms of fame, Zhang Nanyi's global popularity is much higher than that of Matt Damon, especially in Asia.

Fame has an impact on box office.

So it’s not too much for him to get the same salary as Matt Damon.

Cameron glanced at Anne and said, "If you want dividends, you need the consent of my investors."

Cameron wanted Anne to help him reduce the salary, but Anne directly said: "1500 yuan in cash plus 10% profit sharing, I agree."

Cameron: "..."

Annie's salary is higher than what Cameron paid Matt Damon, and it is purely to promote Zhang Nanyi.

But strictly speaking, Zhang Nanyi is the investor behind Avatar, and he can be paid whatever he wants.

Cameron said unwillingly: "Ms. Anne, Hearst Capital will not agree to such a high salary and dividends. We need to ask their opinions."

Anne said confidently: "You can call Amanda and ask, she will agree." Cameron immediately thought of the relationship between Zhang Nanyi and the Hearst sisters, and when he saw the beautiful Anne, he I understood instantly.

Annie, her financial sponsor, is also Zhang Nanyi's lover.

Looking at Zhang Nanyi's tall and handsome appearance, Cameron had to admit that he felt a little sour...

Zhang Nanyi ignored Cameron's thoughts, he was still very happy.

This time when I came to the United States, my biggest goal was achieved, helping Liu Yifei get the role of the heroine of Avatar.

With this role, Liu Yifei will be on the box office ranking list of Chinese actresses in the future, and Dugu Qiu will be defeated.

If her opponents try to label her "box office poison" again, they will definitely be ridiculed by the crowd.

As for becoming the male protagonist of Avatar, Zhang Nanyi's performance is relatively calm.

His indifferent attitude made Cameron feel that he had found the right person, even though the price was a bit high.

After finalizing some cooperation details, Zhang Nanyi left Cameron's company.

During lunch, Zhang Nanyi said to Liu Yifei: "Watch this movie well. Although the alienated makeup and special effects will cover up your true appearance, this movie will be of great benefit to your future development."

Liu Yifei nodded and promised: "I know, this is a movie directed by Cameron. I am really happy to play the heroine of his movie. It feels like my childhood dream has come true. Thank you, Xiao Zhang !”

Zhang Nanyi joked: "You are finally excited. You have been expressionless before. I thought you were not interested in this movie. It was all because of my arrangement that you came to participate."

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue and said truthfully: "I am your woman, I must put on a show when I go out, and I must be calm when I see Cameron.

If you act too excited, you will lose face.

Besides, my husband is now a super international star, so what about Cameron! "

Seeing that Liu Yifei had returned to her naughty and arrogant look, Zhang Nanyi also smiled happily. He explained: "I am going to participate in an exclusive interview in the afternoon. If you are bored, just go find Amanda and the others.

They have a fashion event in the afternoon, you can try it out. "

Liu Yifei shook her head, looked at Li Yinxin opposite, and said, "I'd better follow you. Yin Xin is your secretary, and I will be your life assistant."

Li Yinxin immediately said: "That won't work. Qianqian, you will be the secretary-general. I will be the junior secretary."

Anne said: "You go shopping with me in the afternoon, and my husband can go for the interview by himself. We will pick him up after he finishes his work."

The person who interviewed Zhang Nanyi in the afternoon was a blonde beauty. Anne obviously felt that she wanted to give Zhang Nanyi private space and took Liu Yifei and Li Yinxin away.

Annie was overthinking it. Zhang Nanyi was not interested in this blonde beauty.

Thanks to Annie's arrangements, Zhang Nanyi had a very happy life in Los Angeles.

After the promotional event, Zhang Nanyi took three beauties to the Staples Center to watch a game between the Lakers frontman and the Bobcats.

Kobe, who was at the peak of his personal ability, scored 31 points, narrowly defeated the Bobcats by one point, and defended his home court with difficulty.

This is Zhang Nanyi's first time to watch an NBA game. His recent promotional activities in Los Angeles have also attracted a lot of attention.

Therefore, the live broadcast shots were often given to Zhang Nanyi.

During the break, the on-site DJ also played Zhang Nanyi’s song Hall of Fame.

It can be regarded as giving Zhang Nanyi enough face.

Zhang Nanyi felt the atmosphere of the NBA on the spot, and the atmosphere at this time was still very exciting.

What's a pity is that today is December 12rd, not the Lakers versus the Mavericks on the 3th. I didn't see Kobe's heroic performance of 20 points in three quarters.

After watching this NBA game, Zhang Nanyi ended his promotion in the United States and flew to Europe.

He took Liu Yifei with him to promote in Europe for a week, and then on December 12th, he came to Japan to promote.

Also on this day, Jing Tao Rescue held a grand premiere ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Yanjing. Zhang Nanyi was unable to attend because he was in Japan.

As a result, various reports came out on the night of December 12th.

"Zhang Nanyi's goal is the whole world, so he looks down on the Chinese film market."

"Zhang Nanyi did not attend the premiere of The Rescue, which made Chinese movie fans very disappointed."

"Only promoting abroad and not caring about the domestic audience is the biggest form of worshiping foreigners."

"The theme song to Rescue is in English. Why there is no Chinese theme song? The reason behind it is thought-provoking."

"Cheng Kaige: No matter how far you go, you must never forget where your roots are. Wuji is a pure Chinese film."

"Chen Hong: The core of Wuji is Eastern classical aesthetics, which shows the essence of China's long-standing culture."

"Wuji is China's own Lord of the Rings, and the core of Rescue is still Hollywood's heroism."

Obviously, this is Wuji’s malicious suppression of the premiere of The Rescue.

After the grand premiere of Jing Tao Rescue, they issued these press releases to deliberately stir up emotions and blame Zhang Nanyi and Jing Tao Rescue.

Zhang Nanyi did not know about this. When these reports came out, he was in Japan, receiving the gentle service of Sakai Spring Water.

Liu Yifei curiously observed the process of serving. She also wanted to learn, but she always laughed halfway and made the atmosphere very happy.

Naturally, Zhang Nanyi would not force the immortals to learn how to serve. Everyone has their own characteristics. It would be boring if they all became the same.

Zhang Nanyi, who was immersed in the gentle countryside, naturally had no time to respond to these reports.
