Cage had a good life.

But when the invitation of the male protagonist of the "I Am Hero" project came to him, he was immediately interested.

Not to mention that this project is a high investment and is a project led by Lehman Company, even the box office performance of the first "New York Row" deserves more attention.

After all, this is a relatively low-risk big-selling sequel.

The established director, Zach Snyder, is also a rising star among the new generation of directors, and he cannot refuse whether it is from friendship or personal interests.

Even Cage felt that it was Lyman who had the heart to take care of him.

Even though his career has been smooth in recent years, he rarely encounters similar high-quality projects.

received.

The remaining self-owned agents communicate with Firefly about specific shooting matters.

......

After meeting with Cage's agent, Lyman returned to the office and called Black directly in.

Blake has been in charge of the crew management of "Stranger Things" some time ago, and there are not many things on weekdays. It is easy to discuss with HBO occasionally about the broadcast.

In terms of production alone, Blake's experience is rich enough. Company seniority is high.

After seeing Lehman, I was still wondering if there was something wrong.

With the growth of Firefly's production business, the managers of the production department are basically busy, but the more busy they are, the more they will be reused. Who would like to return to the life of the old days?

"Blake, how is your situation?"

"The first three episodes of the pilot have already been edited, so it shouldn't delay the schedule."

"Well, I'll let someone else take over the "Stranger Things" side. You can take charge of the "I Am Hero" project. Zha Dao has dealt with you the most and will be more familiar with it."

"Boss, "I'm a Hero"? Is the sequel to "Row to New York" going to be filmed?" Blake only felt that the whole person was starting to get excited.

According to the company's rules, whoever is in charge of the project, if successful, will have a bonus linked to the box office.

Think about it a little bit with your head, "I Am a Hero" has been planned for so many years, and it has also used a popular American drama to build momentum and cultivate the value of the subject matter. The company's ambition or expectations for the project are very high.

"Well, the male protagonist has already decided to play Cage." Lehman emphasized: "I hope you can cooperate with Director Zha to ensure the filming of the crew. In addition, this project is best to finish before September and transfer to the later stage. .In terms of special effects, you asked Director Zha to contact Scott, and the digital domain will give priority to "I Am a Hero"."

Cage is still very smart.

His worth has been blessed by the "National Treasure" series, and he has been able to touch the basic salary of 20 million + 20% of the box office profit in North America (20+20 plan).

But in order to better maintain the close relationship between the two parties, his agent offered a modest price, and he always held a good attitude.

Of course, Lyman is also unwilling to take advantage of actors in such trivial matters.

He can find Cage to play, naturally he recognizes Cage's value. Lehmann wouldn't joke about a project with nearly $200 million in investment.

Therefore, when Cage joined "I Am a Hero", he got a 20+20 share contract.

"Communicate with the New York City government about framing as soon as possible. In addition, some firearms and equipment can be funded by the Pentagon." Lehman continued: "The rest are still as usual, the film is guaranteed, and the fire insurance is responsible."

Blake calculated in his mind: before filming started, more than 50 million will be thrown in, which is almost a small investment of 7 or 8 movies. This project can't fail...

After Blake left, Lyman asked Joseph to send a suitably trained employee to familiarize himself with the production of Stranger Things, which was already on track.

In addition, it is to release news and let major brokerage companies select a group of actors over the age of 25 who have acting skills and are not well paid.

"I Am a Hero" needs a supporting and villain with enough drama to set off the plot design that the human camp is still intrigued and unable to unite under the zombie crisis.

In other words, the male lead played by Cage was given a not-so-lofty ending by such a good supporting actor.

Therefore, the choice of actors for this role is very important.

If the acting is almost meaningless and cannot support the drama, the protagonist will look stupid. How to measure it requires careful consideration.

......

"Director, the IMAX camera is broken, are you still using it for this scene?"

Cinematographer Wally Pfister, who has been working closely with Nolan since "White Night", reported to Nolan Hui behind the director's monitor with a frown.

Nolan looked at the somewhat messy shooting scene, and then looked at the unlucky guy who was injured by the explosive fragments because he was too close, his teeth were a little itchy, and he gritted his teeth: "Call Kevin over, not let him check it out. Is the set set? How can there be an accident?"

It's just a matter of delaying the shooting, but there are only two IMAX cameras in the United States, and now one is scrapped and is still rented by the crew, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.

And his shooting of this scene has long been conceived to use static interpretation of the beauty of fireworks. In London's Battersea Power Station, the soaring fire even attracted the questioning of the local police station, because the nearby residents felt that a terrorist attack had occurred. .

But in fact, this is just the scene shot that "The Dark Knight" will take in.

After being scolded for a while, the head of the set team, Kevin, explained weakly: "I didn't think that the explosives would cause the cracks inside the scene to burst open. At first, it was bearable, but I went to check and found that it was completely inside. It was fractured, and it looked completely fine from the outside... or maybe it wouldn't be so powerful if you reduced the amount of gunpowder used."

"Forget it, pay more attention."

Nolan waved his hand.

Although he was a little irritable, he couldn't blame anyone.

Furthermore, it was he who decided how to shoot this scene and what effect it would achieve. The close-up of the camera and the static close-up were also decided by him and the camera crew.

Speaking of which, the person in charge of the fire insurance also reminded him to come, but for a better visual experience, he still did it...

Moreover, as long as shooting this thing involves the shooting of dangerous scenes, there is always the possibility of accidents.

What the crew can do is to increase the safety factor and try not to have an accident.

But if it does happen, you must be held accountable.

While Nolan asked the crew to pay the injured person additional medical compensation, he cleaned up the scene and rearranged the scene.

"Go and lease another IMAX camera." Nolan said solemnly: "Next time, be more careful and check the scene more."

Although this filming was a waste of time and investment in the scene, the camera alone cost more than 7 million yuan to go to waste, but it still won't let Nolan change his mind.

In the director's line, everyone is paranoid.

It is not paranoid, and it is impossible to direct a movie with a strong personal style.

This matter, soon spread to Lyman's ears.

Mainly, the person in charge of the fire insurance felt that it was too uncontrollable to continue filming like this.

"The Dark Knight" is more, more expensive, and more dangerous than "Mystery".

After getting the report, Lehman was helpless.

No one wants to shoot problems, but it is impossible for everyone in the crew to be cautious all the time.

If you don't pay attention, the money is lost in the water.

Whatever the reason, Lyman only knows that the cost of shooting "The Dark Knight" is going to go up again.

Of course, Nolan is the type of director who saves money.

It is rare to hear that he often increases the cost of shooting.

Because his filming was carried out according to strict plans and budgets. Generally speaking, when the filming is finally completed, there is still some left in the budget.

In other words, he is not a person who likes to temporarily change the shooting plan, and he will not think about it all at once.

But helpless, no matter how prepared people are, there are times when they can't control the accident.

fine.

......

The preparations for "I Am a Hero" were not deliberately publicized~www.readwn.com~ but still attracted the attention of many people.

Mainly, it has been two years since "Tour to New York". The audience who went to the theater to support it and the fans who have been captured by the subsequent offline market are eager to see the sequel to this zombie blockbuster.

Finally, Firefly started deliberately, which made the audience who had been waiting for a long time look forward to it from the heart, and the discussion on related topics began to heat up.

Of course, the brokerage company knows more than the audience, and their minds are more lively.

Playing with Cage, even if it's just a match, is a very good performance opportunity.

After a few days of preparation, the list of qualified actors flew into the fireflies like snowflakes...
