Chapter 275 [One thousand and one chapter! 】(1/4)
From Da Guangshi to Director, everyone's storyboard scripts have different focus, and Chen Tian's biggest concern is photography.
Tim Suschet's team also has only four people, and the other filming staff were arranged by Han Sanping.
They are all well-known photography teams at the China Film Festival, but they will not be responsible for the main camera seats. Chen Tian still handed over the main camera seats to Tim Suschet.
The storyboard script in Tim Suschette's hand has been studied by him for more than a month, and this shooting was the most difficult time in his photography career.
A large number of handheld photography, long lenses and multiple camera interactive shooting made him feel tricky. Looking at Chen Tiantim Sushet, who was worshiping God, also bowed to the incense table, praying in his heart that everything went smoothly in this shooting.
"Han Sanping has come here in person. It seems that this time it's really a joke. Do you think Chen Tian can make a Hollywood-level movie?" Wang Qiang, a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly", said, looking at Chen Tian and a group of people in the distance.
"I don't know, but it's at least very good at seeing the situation. Have you seen it? A police helicopter was parked there, just for this movie.
Han Sanping borrowed it specially, which should be better than those domestic junk movies.
The shooting cost is 5 million, but it is US dollars." Lin Fei, a reporter from Xinhua Daily, said in a remark.
"Yes, the cost is super low in Hollywood, but it's not small in China. It's not easy to get back the cost of 35 million.
There are very few domestic directors who are so bold, and he can't ruin his reputation. I heard that the United States is waiting to see him joke. To be honest, I still hope he will succeed." Wan Xiaowen, the only female reporter in the crowd, looked at Chen Tian from afar and said.
She just returned from studying in Los Angeles, USA this year. In the last half of her year in the United States, she knew Chen Tian’s status in the United States very well.
"There is no way. The domestic film market is so large. Without Zhang Yimou's ability and appeal, how many people dare to play like this, Chen Tian will definitely not lose money.
I hope to drive domestic film production. A bunch of small-cost movies are not yet good, and they are all bad movies!" Zhou Yifei, a reporter from "Movie" magazine, was disappointed.
Behind a group of reporters, there are some movie fans who have heard the news.
At this moment, they watched a helicopter covered in camouflage on the lawn not far away, whispering, and the helicopter was temporarily borrowed by Han Sanping from the Beijing Police Station.
Originally, David Ellison wanted to bring the plane over, but was rejected by Huaxia.
In the end, this police ac313 helicopter, which was only put into use last year, became the prop for the filming of "The Raid". David Ellison passed the assessment and was finally approved to become the helicopter's driver.
The story is set in Kowloon Village, Hong Kong in the early 1990s. After the filming of the movie is completed, a large number of special effects will be produced.
If you want to release it as soon as possible, you must compress the shooting time, otherwise it will be very difficult.
The 13-ton ac313 is a large helicopter with a huge load capacity, strong hanging capacity, a long range of 900 kilometers, and has good comfort and can carry 27 special police officers at the same time.
The final number of special police actors in "Rail" is only 13 compared to the original "Rail". Except for Donnie Yen, who is the main character, Zou Zhaolong will play Donnie Yen's younger brother who is undercover in the gangster.
Zhang Zhen, An Zhijie, and Shi Xingyu will be relatively prominent special police roles, and Chen Tian, the choice of the bad police candidate in "The Raid", will not be officially announced until today's opening ceremony.
This is also the most attractive thing in the entire "Rail" crew that except for a rare female character who was defeated by Zhang Jiani from the inconspicuous Chinese Film Academy College.
Chen Tian announced to the public that this candidate will be an international superstar and a true foreigner in the film "Raider".
International superstar, it is Chen Tian's gimmick that has attracted many domestic media.
At this moment, this role play is sitting in the helicopter. Everyone is waiting for the role play to devote themselves after the God worship ceremony.
The so-called international superstar of this character, the American media disdained the statement that it was more likely to be used to fool the Chinese audience.
"Believe in yourself. Although this role is not that important, it will definitely start over!" The man in the helicopter clenched his fists in front of his chest and prayed softly.
"Who do you think that person would be? If it were an international superstar, 5 million yuan, would it be enough for a pay?"
"There are many actors abroad who participate in performances with zero pay, and even play in a very low price.
If you are just an irrelevant character who comes to play a guest role, you shouldn't ask for a pay, and you may not want a pay but you have to pay."
"I think it's a guest appearance. Reading Chen Tian's movie dividends in the newspaper is a killer weapon for actors. That Melis seems to have made a big profit this time."
Listening to the words of his colleagues around him, Wan Xiaowen, who had just entered the industry, agreed very much.
"The Queen of Prada" released in North America for 20 days, the North American box office has successfully crossed the threshold of $130 million.
Yesterday, Chen Tian’s personal box office record of 130 million in his debut work "Burning Live" was behind. According to the media estimates of North American media, "The Queen of Prada" will eventually reach 160-170 million in North America.
"The Queen of Prada" has been released in thirteen overseas countries and regions one after another. While there are still some big box office countries that have not been released, the overseas box office of "The Queen of Prada" has reached US$70 million.
This also broke Chen Tian’s personal overseas box office record, and the previous record was also maintained by "Burning Live".
Although "The Queen of Prada" failed to enter the Chinese market this year, it was released on February 14 next year.
However, after delaying for more than half a year, Miramax and Chen Tian did not have much expectations for the Chinese film market.
On the contrary, Chen Tian is looking forward to several overseas major cities that will be opened soon. According to the current performance of "The Queen of Prada", there is no big surprise. "The Queen of Prada" will achieve overseas results in later generations "The Queen of Prada".
Combined with the North American box office, Chen Tian’s version of "The Queen of Prada" will reach a new level.
Anne Hathaway, who plays Andy, has turned into a hot Hollywood actress Meryl Streep's image in the play, which makes people realize that her acting skills are still higher.
Although there is still half a year before next year's Academy Awards, many media have listed Meryl Streep as the best actress.
It was the box office of "The Queen of Prada" that was popular and strengthened the idea of the people in the helicopter.
Originally, he was looking forward to giving him an absolute chance to star, but in the end, he chose to think about it and agreed, which made him come to China quietly.
He came to China with Ellison and his sister, looking out of the plane, waiting for his gesture.
Chen Tian turned around and looked at everyone, clapping his hands: "I think everyone must be curious about who will play another character.
I have told the media before that this person will be an international superstar, and I have one of the biggest characteristics.”
Chen Tian pointed to his mouth: "Keep your word."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
However, among everyone, Donnie Yen smiled a little reluctantly. Although no one can touch his position as male lead, the international superstar in Chen Tian's mouth made him a little nervous.
It would be fine if the other party was a guest star, but the character in the script is not secondary at all. On the contrary, it runs from the beginning to the end of the film.
It can be said that this role is a very important role. If this role is really played by an international superstar, then his male lead's style will undoubtedly be much weakened.
"Let us all welcome his arrival. Fortunately, there are not many women on the scene, otherwise I will definitely hear screams." Chen Tian finished with a smile, and then waved to the direction of the helicopter.
Seeing Chen Tian’s gesture, the people in the helicopter breathed a sigh of relief.
"See, it should be that mysterious international superstar is about to appear!"
"I don't know who it is?"
"It's not Brad Pitt."
"It's almost obvious!"
The reporters outside the isolation belt held the cameras in their hands one by one, adjusting the focal length and lens.
Soon a foot wearing leather shoes stretched out from the helicopter, and soon the whole person appeared in the camera.
Wan Xiaowen felt that she was suffocating all of a sudden because the man in the camera was her favorite, the man who once touched billions of women around the world four years ago - Leonardo DiCaprio.
Not only was Wan Xiaowen shocked, but other reporters were also shocked by Chen Tian, the international superstar.
They never thought that the international superstar Chen Tian mentioned was actually Leonardo, who was popular all over the world, but the person in front of the camera was so real.
"Oh my goodness! It's Leon! It's Jack!"
"Jack! Jack!"
"Jack, I love you!"
"Leon, I love you!"
The few movie fans behind the reporters were screaming loudly, with a group of female movie fans inside. At this moment, I couldn't help but scream loudly when I saw Leonardo appear.
Zhang Jiani covered her mouth and felt that she was so lucky. Not only did she get the opportunity to play the role by chance, but she also met Leonardo, the prince charming prince charming in the hearts of countless girls.
Zhen Zidan's eyebrows thumped for a moment, and he didn't expect Chen Tian to be so generous.
After staying in the United States for a while, he also knew that Leonardo DiCaprio is now in a low point.
But even so, his fame is far inferior to that of the other party. Whether at home or abroad, he couldn't help but worry about his future.
Yuan Heping, who was standing by, felt what Donnie Yen thought and gently hit Donnie Yen with his arm: "He can't hit you, you can hit you, don't forget that this movie is an action movie.
Don’t think too much, it’s yours or yours, as long as you catch it yourself!”
Hearing Yuan Heping's words, Donnie Yen's heart slowly calmed down.
Han Sanping, who stood beside Chen Tian, did not expect that Chen Tian would invite Leonardo DiCaprio. The box office sensation caused by "Titanic" in China was almost at the level of a nuclear bomb.
Domestic audiences' memories of "Titanic" have not dissipated. He can imagine that once the news of Leonardo playing the role of "Rail" came out, how many people in China would have a sharp increase in their expectations for "Rail".
Some people who did not pay attention to "The Raid" may become interested in Leonardo's participation, and these are the direct impacts brought by Leonardo.
"Xiao Chen, you really have. I remember that there is no pay for him in the budget." Han Sanping said with a smile. This character is the only one he doesn't know about.
At one point, he also asked who it was, but Chen Tian always said it would be a huge surprise, but he refused to reveal a word outside the surprise.
He was also a little dissatisfied with Chen Tian's avoidance, but at this moment he saw Leonardo's dissatisfaction completely dissipated.
"No, but I promised to give him a 3% box office net profit dividend. I believe you won't disagree with this Mr. Han.
If you don’t agree, I will deduct it from my own pay, but I know that you will definitely be willing to give it to me. He is worth the price, right?" Chen Tian said with a smile.
Originally, he did not consider choosing Leonardo DiCaprio. Instead, he considered inviting a very popular star in China to play.
After participating in the recording of "Face to Face", he returned to the hotel to study the box office of Chinese movies and noticed the sensation caused by "Titanic" in China.
This is why he followed the example of "Raider" and chose a foreigner, and this role was eventually given to Leonardo DiCaprio.
